Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School Novel - Chapter 227

Chapter 227: Filming Began

Xia Qinghuan and Chen Jin stayed behind at the scene. They stood in the corner and observed how others acted.

Xia Qinghuan had taken a few acting classes during this period and had a basic understanding of acting. The performing arts teacher also praised her for being talented.

However, upon thinking how she would have to act with real actors under the camera later, Xia Qinghuan inevitably felt a little nervous.

But she was not the only one who was nervous. Someone was even more nervous than her.

As soon as the filming started, the male lead of the first scene with Yun Buyao repeatedly made mistakes. He either read the wrong lines or couldn’t remember them.

“Cut!”

“Cut!”

“Cut!”

“Cut, cut, cut!”

Director Wang Yiming, who was behind the camera, shouted until his face turned red. In the end, he couldn’t help but shout at the male lead, “Lu Xiao, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you act any more after you’re famous?”

Lu Xiao looked awkward and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Director Wang. Let’s do it again!”

As he spoke, he could not help but take a deep breath and curse himself for being a good-for-nothing. His mind turned blank when he looked at Yun Buyao’s face?

“Senior Lu Xiao, relax.” Yun Buyao seemed to have noticed that Lu Xiao wasn’t in his best condition and comforted him softly.

Looking at Yun Buyao’s face and the faint smile on her face, Lu Xiao instantly felt as if the entire world was blooming and his heart was about to fly out of his throat.

He chuckled and nodded. “Alright.”

Lu Xiao debuted many years ago, and it was Wang Yiming who had chosen him as the male lead in his first drama. He became famous overnight and became an A-list actor in the country. He was a big star with both popularity and ability.

Lu Xiao had a tall and slender figure, and the director liked his gloomy eyes. Whenever there was a character with a noble and melancholic temperament, the director would always think of Lu Xiao first. From there, he was given the title of a melancholic prince.

However, the prince had to bow down as well. As Yun Buyao’s senior, Lu Xiao could not resist her charm. Just the first scene alone and he couldn’t handle it. Looking at Yun Buyao’s face, it was as if he could not think about anything else, let alone memorize his lines.

“Even a big shot like Lu Xiao would be nervous and make mistakes. You have to calm down,” Chen Jin whispered into Xia Qinghuan’s ear.

Xia Qinghuan nodded lightly and her nervousness calmed down a little. Seeing that even a big shot like Lu Xiao could make mistakes repeatedly, she was not so nervous anymore.

Lu Xiao was an experienced veteran actor. He quickly suppressed his shock upon seeing Yun Buyao for the first time. He adjusted his condition. When the camera was turned again, he instantly integrated himself into the role.

The first scene was where the female lead met the male lead.

The second scene was between the second female lead, He Jiayi, and the male lead, Lu Xiao. The two of them were experienced young actors, so they completed the scene successfully.

Soon, it was Xia Qinghuan’s turn.

“Director Wang, you chose her yourself. Let’s see her performance,” Ye Qing, the assistant director, said to Wang Yiming.

Wang Yiming looked at Xia Qinghuan, who had entered the scene, from the camera and raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. “Have I seen someone by mistake before?”

Ye Qing did not comment. Instead, she chuckled.

As soon as the filming started, Xia Qinghuan’s performance made everyone’s eyes light up.

Xia Qinghuan was the third female lead, and she was playing the biological sister of the male lead, Lu Xiao. Her first scene was about her receiving news about her parents’ divorce.

Almost instantly, Xia Qinghuan, who was initially feeling a little uneasy before the cameras, quickly entered the role the moment the cameras were pointed at her. She displayed a daughter’s resistance, anger, despair, and breakdown fully to the cameras and the audience.

Her tearful and hysterical performance stunned everyone present.
