Laura had also acted in this scene in the previous shooting. At that time, Donald’s performance was still good, but he was not as passionate as he was now.

It wasn’t that Donald’s passion hadn’t been ignited. To be more precise, it was that Lola didn’t even qualify to be a prop.

The focus of the camera was on Donald. His infectious hoarse roar attracted everyone’s attention. However, chessaray noticed Jiang se, who was tied up.

!!
She was hanging from a wire in midair. It must have been uncomfortable. Laura had filmed this scene before. Unlike Jiang se, when Laura was filming, she did not stop when she was about to be burned.

That scene left a deep impression on chessaray. He could still remember how Laura’s expression and body language were displayed.

Jiang se had been on set during the filming. She had taken a break on set after finishing a scene.

When Laura was filming this scene, things did not go very smoothly. She was scolded by chessaray several times and cried. Jiang se had also watched the scenes during the later stages of the filming. She had to watch Laura shoot a few times before she passed.

Chessaray had thought that Jiang se would be enlightened after watching the filming of this scene and seeing how he had scolded Laura to tears before she passed. In the same scene and scene that day, she would subconsciously imitate Laura’s performance in which she had passed the last scene in order to gain chessaray’s favor.

However, she adopted a completely different acting method from Laura. When Laura was shooting, her expression was sad and helpless, and her body was instinctively tense and struggling. She acted out Lannie’s fear and worry, as well as the fear of facing death.

On the contrary, Jiang se did not learn from her. Instead, she hung in the air and let herself loose.

Chessaray noticed that Jiang SE’s initial expression was one of panic and uneasiness. However, as soon as Donald Read out his lines, Jiang se was like a little cub that had been placated. She quickly calmed down.

What left the deepest impression on chessaray was that her eyes were not on the extras like Laura, but on Donald. Every time he shouted a line, her expression would be like that of a crowd of onlookers, full of admiration and trust. Her eyes were bright, and her cheeks were red. It was as if she had found a home for her soul, and she had transcended the pain of her body.

It was clear that her understanding of Lannie was completely different from Laura’s.

In this scene, Jiang SE’s performance was completely different from Laura’s. She was more like Andre’s listener. She was not in a hurry to show off her abilities. Instead, she was Andre’s most loyal believer.

On the set, other than the extras who played the members of the church and the civilians, Jiang SE’s performance undoubtedly made Andre’s image even more distinct.

In many people’s eyes, Jiang SE’s performance might not be as eye-catching as Laura’s. However, chessaray had to admit that Jiang se was much smarter than Laura. Moreover, her acting style was different, which left a deeper impression on him.

She clearly knew when to perform well and when to be a qualified ‘supporting role’.

In the original work, Lannie’s current performance was not described in detail by the author. Instead, the focus was on Andre, who resisted the curse, fooled the public, and hid his ambition in his righteous and gentle skin.

Although Lannie ended up as a sacrifice like Shireen, the difference between them was that she was tricked by Andre and stepped onto the altar of her own free will.

When the town had fallen, it was Andre who had saved her. He had reached out to her and pulled her out of despair. This had caused her to have a strange sense of worship and dependence on Andre in the depths of her heart. She believed in Andre’s words with all her heart and even agreed to be sacrificed without any complaints.

That was why when she found out that Andre had lied to her, her soul fell and became the most demonic, unable to redeem herself.

Compared to Laura’s performance, Jiang se was much smarter. Chessaray took a deep breath and frowned when he saw the girl’s fanatical admiration in the camera.

The assistant’s cell phone started to vibrate. The fire under the altar had started. The girl in the camera didn’t have any lines. She was still acting as Laura’s substitute, but she was trying to use her body language to express ‘Lannie’s’ attachment and reluctance to part with Andre.

She was instinctively close to Andre, and her desire for life was much deeper than Laura’s fear.

Jiang SE’s deep understanding of the script had become her greatest advantage at this moment. Her performance in just a few minutes was much better than Laura’s.

A good actor should not be distinguished by nationality, age, or the number of awards they had won. Lola might be an actor with superb acting skills, but after the same scene was performed by different people, the difference between them was immediately obvious.

Lola had lost not only because she was cowardly and refused to go on stage, but also because of the accidents she had encountered during the filming and the loss of Chesare’s favor and support.

However, one of them treated this as a job, while the other went all out and put in all her effort.

Mr. Cheabyss, ” his assistant called out. Cheabyss waved his hand, signaling him to keep quiet.

Jack looked at this scene anxiously from a distance. Chessaray was already signaling the pyrotechnician to start the fire.

“Mr. Borgia called. He said he has something important to tell you.”

Chessaray stared at the camera with a serious expression.

don’t interrupt the shoot. Tell Carlo that I’ll call him back personally after this scene is done. He paused for a moment before moving his gaze away from the two main leads on the set.

“I have an important decision to tell him.”

The set was already on fire, and Donald sped up his lines.

At this moment, the ground beneath Jiang SE’s feet was on fire. The stuntmen beside her who were also suspended in the air tried their best to show that they were struggling and in pain. At first, she remained still and looked in Andre’s direction. As Andre chanted, she seemed to realize that something was wrong. She subconsciously widened her eyes and her face was filled with shock.

She seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and her body began to tremble violently. Her expression was a little confused at first, and then she shook her head in disbelief.

Jiang se did not make a sound when she saw this. She merely expressed her inner feelings through the subtle changes in her expression. She had heard the contents of Andre’s incantation. Her expression was twisted and filled with anger.

The flames engulfed her, and her face was a little distorted in the flames. The next moment, chessaray raised his hand, and as the scene ended, the fire extinguisher sprayed out powder, surrounding her whole body in smoke and powder.

“It’s very good,”

Jiang se was still coughing. After the crew members put out the fire, someone lowered the wire. Someone from below opened their arms to catch her so that she could land safely.

“Are you alright?”

Someone asked. Jiang se closed her eyes and nodded.

She still looked very disheveled, but the shooting of this scene was much easier than when she was acting as Shireen’s sacrifice. The preparation work was comprehensive, so as long as she restrained her fear of fire during the shooting, the shooting of the scene would go smoothly.

Donald’s assistant came up with a coat and put it on for him. Before he went down the steps, he turned to look at Jiang se. She was still coughing, but her face was red from the fire-extinguishing powder that filled the air.

Her manager had prepared a wet handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose to prevent her from inhaling more smoke.

After removing the restraints on her body, she still had to return backstage to remove the restraints on her body.

Donald stood there for a while and walked toward chessaray. He knew what had happened earlier.

In front of the camera, Donald was holding a glass of hot water as he watched his performance. He did not miss Jiang se, who was behind him, nor did he miss the expression on her face at the time. He saw her subtle movements.

“What do you think?”

Chessaray asked him. He stopped drinking for a while, then nodded and replied softly, ”

“Very good,” he said.

He had performed the same scene twice, so he could naturally tell which one was better.

Donald and Laura’s cooperation was full of charm, as if they didn’t want to admit defeat. They wanted to win the audience’s attention and make this scene, which was supposed to be a climax, look ordinary, and there was no highlight to be found.

Due to his cooperation with Jiang se, Donald’s performance made him the absolute main character in this plot, making the plot even more eye-catching.

“She’s very smart.”

Donald had a smile on his face. He took a sip of hot water to get rid of the chill in his body and smiled.

“He also knows how to seize the opportunity and convince you.”

Jiang SE’s retreat in front of the camera was much smarter than Laura’s desire to show off. If one day, this scene was presented to the audience at the same time, and Laura’s fear and uneasiness were exposed, the audience would have a certain degree of acceptance for the subsequent plot.

On the contrary, Jiang SE’s different performances not only enhanced Donald’s charm in his acting and served as a foil to his ‘ambition’, but her ignorance and naivety would also make the audience’s hearts clench.

The two types of performances captured the audience’s psychology differently.

Therefore, in this special ‘audition’, Jiang se had completely crushed Laura.

Chessaray sighed and agreed with him. if I didn’t see this audition, wouldn’t there be less trouble? ”

He mumbled to himself. Donald put down the cup and adjusted his clothes.

I think so, but my friend, I think you might feel very regretful that you missed the real Lannie in your heart.

Chessaray became happy when he heard this. He nodded and said,

yes. Although I’ll find it very troublesome if I see this scene, it would be a pity if I didn’t see it.

The novel ” the prisoner ” held a different weight in his heart. He had spent many years to complete the adaptation and concept of the novel. He was eager to select the most suitable characters for every character in the novel.

Chessaray’s phone rang again. His assistant held the phone with a helpless expression.

This time, chessaray did not refuse to answer the phone. He took the phone and glanced at Donald. The man, who still had some fire extinguisher powder on his head and was wrapped in a down jacket, was holding a glass of water and watching the footage that had been shot earlier.

“With your help, I’ll be able to convince Carlo.”

After saying this, he thought that he would have to spend some effort to drag Donald into this. But before chessaray could say anything else, Donald nodded and said, ”

“Yes, I am.”

Chessaray held his phone and smiled.

Fortunately, the shooting of the movie didn’t take a long time. In the middle of the shooting, because Laura caught a cold, there weren’t many scenes about her.

If the main lead had to be changed at the last minute, the only trouble would be some scenes involving Shireen.

She needed to find a new actor for this role, and there probably wouldn’t be enough time.

Mordena’s winter was almost over. As long as they finished filming the scene first and found the person, they could reshoot this scene next year.

When that happened, he might have to spend some extra money. However, after seeing Jiang SE’s performance, chessaray felt that it was all worth it.

The process of convincing the investors did not go very smoothly because of Carlo. Borgia flew to mordena the next day after he received the call from Chesare.

The person in charge of the investment had a serious expression on his face. People from huandao company also came with him. The filming of ” the salvation of God ” had been suspended. The total investment budget for this drama was more than 200 million US dollars. Brown’s reason was not only because of her management company’s strong connections and her outstanding acting skills, but also her popularity in Hollywood.

The investors had invested a large amount of money and had to consider the return of the follow-up funds.

Although Jiang se was famous in China, she was not very well-known in Europe and the United States. After the movie was released, apart from Chesare’s name supporting “God’s salvation “, the popularity of the male and female leads was also needed to stabilize the box office. Compared to brown, she had a big weakness.

The film Market in Europe and the United States was different from that in China. The income of a film was not entirely supported by the box office. There was also the follow-up request-on-demand, the rights to broadcast on peripheral channels and television stations, the production and sales of DVDs and bluelight discs. All of these relied on the appeal of the main actors and directors, as well as the charm of the film itself.

At present, the film was still in the process of shooting, and the investors were not sure how the effect would be after the shooting. The risk of Chesare changing the female lead at the last minute was immeasurable.

The investors expressed their dissatisfaction with chessaray’s request. However, to everyone’s surprise, Donald, the male lead, chose to side with chessaray. He felt that Jiang se was more suitable for the female lead.

After the special ‘audition’ that day, although Chesare didn’t make a clear statement, the crew suspended the filming and alerted the investors, which was a good result.

Jiang se stayed in the hotel to wait for the news. At the same time, she kept in touch with her country.

Oriental Cinema had already contacted Borgia and huandao. Nie dan sent a message to Jiang se, telling her not to panic. After they had reached an agreement with these two companies, it was very likely that they would fly overseas and try their best to secure the opportunity that Jiang se had fought for.
