Chapter 529: Chapter 515: Can’t Stop the Tears...

"Dad~"

Liu Feifei lifted her skirt, and ran into the frame in a daze, her voice trembling with a sob.

The seasoned actor lay on the ground committed to his role as a corpse, with a dagger stuck in his chest.

Liu Feifei immediately rushed over, her hands slightly trembling as she held the "corpse."

In many film and television works, whenever an important character "passes away."

A relative or friend of the character would immediately appear by the "deceased’s" side, responsible for crying loudly and calling the "deceased’s" name.

And they must vigorously shake the "deceased’s" body, evidently determined not to stop until they shake the bones apart.

Even if the person isn’t completely dead yet!

They would still be shaken to the point of dying early!

It’s unknown who decided such a style of acting.

Fortunately, Director Lin didn’t have such requirements when he was directing her.

The script didn’t have strict limits on the way of acting, Liu Feifei could entirely rely on her understanding of the role to react appropriately.

The character she played, although intelligent and lively in the early stages, with a gentle disposition, didn’t mean she was weak. Quite the opposite, she was very strong-willed at heart.

So looking at the "father" in a tragic state of death now, she understood it was hopeless beyond rescue.

And this stab not only ended her father’s life directly but also tore her originally innocent and lively girlish aura to shreds in this moment of father’s loss, transforming her through sorrow. Despite the overwhelming sadness filling her, she persistently pressed this pain within her very bones and flesh.

Her father was murdered.

She couldn’t be weak, wouldn’t be, just so she could avenge him one day.

Liu Feifei’s emotions were brewing impeccably at this moment, her eyes were red, her head lowered, tears welled up in her eyes blurring her long lashes, yet still unwilling to drop.

True grief doesn’t require eye drops or loud wailing because when you are truly heartbroken, there is simply no energy for those superficial, hysterical screams.

She didn’t utter a single word throughout.

Just kept her head down, her hair ornaments scattered, shoulders heaving, the camera captured close-ups of her faintly bulging veins on her forehead, and the neckline slightly loosened from earlier panic, revealing her neck muscles straining to suppress her cries, twitching.

She, in this bowing, held on to the "corpse" with one hand, and with the other hand shivering stretched out, clutching Li Qiongzhi’s sleeve like grasping at straws, tightly...

Director Lin slapped his thigh, thinking Liu Feifei’s suppressed crying scene was an absolute perfection!

Even compared to the veteran actors, she was not one bit inferior!

Great!

Absolutely great!

And as Tang, Liu Feifei’s agent, arrived at the set, she happened to see Liu Feifei shooting this scene. After greeting the staff, she quietly sat next to Director Lin, watching the monitor.

Having witnessed Liu Feifei’s exquisite crying performance...

She suddenly felt a bit dazed...

Was this still the Liu Feifei, whose acting skills were so ordinary, that she knew?!

In just a few short days of not seeing, her acting skills have improved significantly!

Not to exaggerate, but completely comparable to those seasoned actors!

Did she have an epiphany?

As she was surprised and astonished, she noticed a particularly important issue.

Wait.

Why has her Feifei’s face in front of the camera become a bit rounder?!

Though it’s said that cameras add weight, this close-up of the face is obviously bigger than before!

She suddenly understood.

Feifei and Xiaoxiao both turned a deaf ear to her words.

Stealthily eating behind her back on the set again!

No way!

Later, she must give them a good talking to.

Hum~

If I, the lady here, don’t show my power, you think I’m just a Hello Kitty!

She patiently waited for the scene to finish shooting while continuing to watch Liu Feifei perform against a group of seasoned actors with Director Lin.

Li Qiongzhi gently placed a hand on Liu Feifei’s back, softly patting, murmuring: "Don’t cry."

As if all the accumulated sorrowful emotions suddenly burst forth, Liu Feifei’s tearful eyes lowered, lashes quivered, and tears rolled down.

Embracing the "corpse" of the seasoned actor, leaning against Li Qiongzhi, she sobbed out hoarsely like a little girl, totally out of control...

This scene was thus perfectly completed.

Director Lin shouted excitedly, "Cut, very good, everyone take a break."

Tang couldn’t help but applaud, other staff also stood in respect, smiled, and applauded.

The seasoned actor, who lay playing dead, immediately sat up as soon as cut was called.

Liu Feifei and Li Qiongzhi, knowing he was a titan in their circle, very respectfully and politely said to him, "Teacher, you worked hard."

The seasoned actor nodded, saying a few words to them, full of high praise for Liu Feifei!

Li Qiongzhi also greatly admired Liu Feifei’s performance this time, thinking she had great talent. Given time, her acting skills will definitely surpass hers, and she’ll surely be a frequent guest at major award ceremonies in the future.

Li Qiongzhi smiled and said with concern, "Hurry up and wipe away those tears!"

Liu Feifei instinctively wiped her eyes, the corners still red, and burst into laughter, "Ah, really, I’ve cried so much my makeup is ruined."

"Feifei, let me fix your makeup."

The makeup artist came running over.

Seeing the makeup artist approaching, Liu Feifei and Li Qiongzhi helped each other up slowly, nodded to the makeup artist, and said, "Sure, we’ll go over there."

Li Qiongzhi took a sip of the warm water her assistant had prepared for her in advance, thought for a moment, then picked up another cup, smiled, and asked, "Feifei, want some water?"

"Qiongzhi, I was just getting thirsty, thank you!"

Liu Feifei smiled gently and nodded.

Oh my~

What’s going on here?

The triple award-winning actress actually handed my Liu Feifei a drink...

Watching this scene, Tang was even surprised.

She never expected that in just a few days, Liu Feifei would become so close to Li Qiongzhi, the powerful actress!

You have to know, at a previous award ceremony, when her Feifei and Li Qiongzhi were sitting in the same row, Li Qiongzhi won an award and was about to go up to accept it. Feifei stood up to congratulate her, but was ignored, leaving her Feifei awkwardly to sit back down alone.

Who would have thought that now, she’s not only caring for her Feifei, but also proactively brings her water.

She instinctively turned her head towards the sky to see if the sun was rising from the west today.

At this point.

After seeing Li Qiongzhi off, Liu Feifei unintentionally noticed Tang’s figure, smiled, and waved to her, "Tang, I’m here..."

Hearing it, Tang walked over and curiously asked, "Feifei, when did you get so close with Li Qiongzhi?"

"Hmm~"

Liu Feifei thought for a moment and said, "I didn’t get close! She was the one who approached me!"

"She must have been impressed by my acting skills, so she saw me differently."

She would never tell Tang that Li Qiongzhi was drawn to her food and approached her.

Otherwise, Tang would definitely lecture her on that!

But she forgot, her slightly round face gave her away.

Tang teased, "The crew’s food must be good! Your little face has become a bit rounder than before."

Uh...

Is it that obvious that I’ve gained weight?

Liu Feifei instinctively touched her face.

It’s not too bad...

Tang crossed her arms, admonishing, "This drama is a Republican idol series, it’s quite demanding on your figure, you need to maintain your shape all the time. Otherwise, when it airs, among so many actors, yours will be the largest face, and your figure will be robust. Wouldn’t netizens criticize your figure..."

Liu Feifei: "..."

Tang said slowly, "What about the actor’s self-discipline you promised me before? Was it eaten by a dog?"

Liu Feifei: "..."

Your humanity was eaten by a dog!

"So, Feifei, you should control your diet and especially look up to those female stars who are as thin as lightning."

Tang continued, "Why not start your diet meal plan from this afternoon, I’ll have the hotel arrange it for you."

Liu Feifei: "..."

Tang patted her shoulder: "Think about those very thin stars, at night they can only chew a few lettuce leaves while browsing Weibo, drooling over gourmet food, you should feel content."

Liu Feifei argued logically, "How do you know they only eat a few lettuce leaves every night? I see many female stars posting gourmet food on Weibo every night, barbecues, cheese, cake, steak, various cuisines, posting high-calorie stuff!"

Tang retorted, "Heh, with such high calories, yet they manage to stay so thin with no bust in the front or back. You believe they eat those delicacies at midnight?"

Liu Feifei: "..."

Having been in the entertainment circle for years, she naturally knew these gourmet posts were just photo props for those celebrities. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

How many female stars dare not eat for the sake of beauty and figure, but Weibo can’t lack the time to showcase food selfies. Even when taking photos while eating, it’s a very reserved pose, the mouth briefly touching the food, and quickly putting it down right after a click.

To them, food is simply a tempting little goblin, especially high-calorie gourmet.

But she’s never done such things.

She’s always eaten when she wanted to!

Of course.

Some exercise afterward and occasional diet meals can’t be skipped.

Thinking that she indeed gained some weight, to look good on camera and avoid netizens criticizing her lack of figure management...

Maybe this time she should take Tang’s advice, she can’t keep indulging like this, and consider starting the diet meal plan in the coming days?

But...

But... indulging is so much fun!
