A week later, "Long Song of the World" officially started shooting.
Lucia, who is always punctual and dedicated, arrived at the set early to prepare for the shoot. Her warm-hearted actions have earned her a lot of affection. For example, offering to pour water for the staff, buying breakfast, and even buying cold medicine in the rain when someone is sick.
Good-looking, sweet-tongued and capable of handling affairs. Gradually, she won the hearts of most of the crew members.
In the entertainment industry, it's not enough to just be good-looking and good at acting, but also to be able to read people's expressions.
Apparently, Lucia is much more relaxed than Faye in this regard. She knows that Faye is used to being a young lady and can say some polite words, but it's impossible for her to do it herself.
Kiera looked at Lucia, who was getting along well with the crew, and felt very uncomfortable. Suddenly, he cast a meaningful glance at Bella, who was not far away.
"Bella, Lucia, get ready, it's your turn soon." The director shouted through a megaphone.
One Bella, one Lucia, which is more important, one can tell at a glance.
Bella, dressed in an ancient blouse and skirt, walked up to the prop wine glass, with Kiera's instructions flashing in his mind.
"Do whatever you want with her and make her look bad, then find an opportunity to apologize and pretend to be our insider."
Bella felt heavy in his heart, patted his cheek to relax, and looked at Lucia approaching slowly, filled with guilt.
Sorry, who told you to provoke someone you shouldn't have.
According to the script, the little palace maid she played, in order to help her benefactor, wanted to sprinkle the added wine on Princess Nan Ting, and was thus scolded by the princess.
The wine in the bottle had already been added with pine pollen that would cause her to be allergic. If just one drop stuck to Lucia's face, her pretty little face would turn into a pig's head, and in serious cases, it could even threaten her life.
"Action!"
Bella, carrying a tray, took small steps forward as Princess Wendy, played by Lucia, emerged from behind the rockery. Bella quickened his pace and was delighted to see the two about to collide.
Just then, Lucia made a slight sidestep and spilled the wine on the ground.
"cut!" For the first time, the director was about to give a lecture, but the moment he saw Lucia, the rude words were swallowed again. "Lucia, don't hide, don't be afraid. It's all water in it, just splashed on your body."
Lucia lowered his head apologetically, stopped the staff who wanted to change the wine bottle, and took the prop himself. "No need to go through all this trouble. It's all my fault. There's water at the rockery. I'll collect it myself."
Having said that, she went straight to the rockery, washed the bottle three times, and then filled it with water.
Bella and Kiera looked at each other in surprise and then moved away, one disappointed and the other angry. Kiera, in particular, was indignant that Lucia had been so mischievous and lucky.
Lucia put the bottle back in Bella's hand and casually instructed, with a meaningful look in her eyes, "Be sure to hold it well, be careful not to spill it."
The tricks of the two of them couldn't escape her eyes, having lived to be a film star in her previous life, she had seen all kinds of open and covert attacks.
At the director's command, Bella came to her senses from the previous astonishment, took a deep breath and carried the tray forward, Lucia played with the jade pendant in one hand as if strolling in the garden.
This time, without surprise, she splashed the wine on Lucia's clothes. Suddenly, she felt a pressure from the superior, and then...
"Bold!"
With a stern rebuke, Bella hurriedly raised his head and glanced into Lucia's eyes, deep as the sea but with deep majesty, as if there really were the prince of a noble princess standing before her, and he didn't even have the right to make eye contact.
Bella was frightened by the look, panic, fear, cowardice, humility... Countless feelings swept over her mind, and she trembled in place, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that she couldn't take on the role, Lucia, in a moment of inspiration, scolded her again, "You bold servant! Who gave you the nerve to look me in the eye!" "Come here!"
Bella instinctively knelt down, her hand trembled, the bottle smashed to the ground, and it was the sound of the shattering that brought back her thoughts, thinking that she was acting, Bella quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Princess, spare my life, princess!"
Lucia took a graceful step forward. There was no emotion on her bright and charming cheeks, but no one dared to ignore the depth in her eyes.
"A little maidservant dares to ignore me, is this the etiquette of the southern palace? Or... Is the Southern emperor deceiving me that there is no one in the north?"
As she spoke to herself, her eyes drifted far away, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, along with the sorrow of being unable to cope.
The director watched Lucia perform on the spot and excitedly opened her eyes wide, turning the camera to make her look even more perfect.
He never expected a new actor to perform so naturally on the spot. After all, unless it's a veteran actor, who else has the ability to add extra scenes at the last minute?
Just now, Bella was supposed to reshoot because he didn't take on Lucia's opposite scene, but Lucia made up for it in time by adding a line that wasn't in the script and guiding Bella very well. What a rare talent!
"cut." The director shouted, "Lucia, you did a great job. Bella, you should be careful not to get distracted when acting."
Bella, who had been called out by the director, was still kneeling on the ground. She tried to stand up, but her legs were numb. She had to admit that she was scared by Lucia's gaze. Had it not been for the directors and cameras around her, she would have almost thought of herself as a little palace maid.
Bella raised her head, and her gaze fell on Lucia, who was chatting and laughing with Cynthia, and she no longer dared to look down upon her. Instead, she felt a bit more fear and a faint admiration.
When did Lucia, who didn't have such great acting skills before, start to be left far behind by this girl?
Her progress is so great that if she hadn't been constantly suppressed by Faye, she would probably have soared to great heights.
Remembering that they entered Shengshi Entertainment much earlier, Lucia has now surpassed her so much that she can't even get acting opportunities, and a single look leaves her at a loss.
Bella got up shamefully, rubbed her legs, and found a corner by herself in a daze. Was she really going to be against Lucia? Such superb acting skills will shine one day, and if she takes the wrong side, won't...
In fact, it wasn't just Bella who was shocked; even Cynthia was taken aback. Lucia... A bit of skill.
Kiera was even more agitated. Her plan had not hurt her in the slightest, but had given her face in front of the director and Cynthia. This Lucia really... It's a bit creepy.
Lucia gave a subtle smile, glancing quickly at Kiera's pinched wine glass. Kiera had used pine pollen to embarrass himself in public and lose precious performance opportunities before.
At that time, she had been in the entertainment industry for a full six years, being pulled by Kiera to dinner with a rich businessman, and finally getting a chance to audition for the female lead in an MV. Every day she was so happy that she couldn't sleep, but the night before she was to go for the audition, Kiera drugged the prop, causing a severe allergic reaction and was rushed to the hospital, and then almost died on the street because she had no money.
If she were to be reborn, how could she repeat the same mistake?
Lucia looked up at the sweaty crowd, pointed her finger on the takeout order and clicked to pay.
