The Actress Queen’s Rebirth: She’s a Bigshot Loved by All Her Uncles!-Chapter 36

An Exciting Performance

Lu Zhen really didn’t feel too good at this moment. She had just mobilized all her emotions and immersed herself in her role, completely treating herself as Qin Qing. She seemed to be able to feel all of Qin Qing’s sorrow and pain.

After she had killed the magistrate, there was a small detail that she didn’t even notice. She looked at the head and the blood on the ground for a few seconds in shock. Then, two streams of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Those tears were completely instinctive. She wasn’t acting.

At this moment, the director replayed the scene that had just been filmed over and over again. His tone was extremely excited. “Good. This scene is brilliant!”

Actually, there were still some parts of this scene that weren’t that perfect. For example, the lighting had not been adjusted properly, and the emotions of the other actors weren’t in place. However, all of these shortcomings were covered up by Lu Zhen’s brilliant performance.

She was the star today. No one could look away from her.

The reason the director didn’t shoot it a second time wasn’t because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t dare to.

He was afraid that Lu Zhen wouldn’t be in such an engaged state when they shot the scene a second time. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Lu Zhen, but he still felt that during the scene today, Lu Zhen outperformed herself. She wasn’t her usual self.

There were moments when actors seemed to have been blessed by the goddess of inspiration acted in brilliant ways that he didn’t expect. Such moments were very rare, but they were difficult to replicate.

The director walked to Lu Zhen’s side. Seeing that Lu Zhen seemed to be in a low mood, he comforted her. “This scene just now was indeed very difficult. Lu Zhen, go back and rest first. We’ll film the outside scenes two days later. You performed well today and surprised me very much.”

Lu Zhen nodded politely and smiled gently. “Thank you for the compliment, Director. I’ll be leaving now.”

Sun Xiao helped Lu Zhen leave the set, but just as the two of them were leaving, Lu Zhen suddenly saw an extremely striking figure.

Song Jia was wearing casual clothes today, and his temperament was very low-key and reserved. However, his appearance was too dazzling. Even on a set full of celebrities, Lu Zhen couldn’tice him at a glance.

Lu Zhen slowly walked up to Song Jia. “Why are you here, Mr. Song?”

“The company’s artist was injured in an accident. I came over to take a look at the situation.” Song Jia briefly explained the situation and looked at Lu Zhen. He was sizing her up, as if he had just gotten to know her again. “I just saw your scene. It was really impressive.”

Song Jia wasn’t someone who would praise others easily. If he said that it was really good, it was probably quite brilliant.

Lu Zhen was stunned. She didn’t expect Song Jia to praise her. She smiled and said charmingly, “It’s my honor to be praised by Mr. Song.”

Song Jia looked at Lu Zhen. The woman in front of him clearly wasn’t dressed up, but she exuded a cold and charming aura. Her eyes seemed compelling.

“Shall we talk as we walk?” Song Jia invited.

Lu Zhen was surprised. After a moment, he nodded and they took a car to a café near Hengdian.

“Sister Zhenzhen, the brand has adjusted the filming date. I’ll call and ask again. You and Mr. Song can talk first. Call me if there’s anything.” Sun Xiao found an excuse and winked at Lu Zhenzhen ambiguously.

Lu Zhen smiled helplessly.

Did Sun Xiao think that Song Jia was interested in her?

After the two of them sat down, the waiter came over and Song Jia ordered an Americano. Lu Zhen only ordered a lemonade.

“You’re so strict with yourself?” Song Jia smiled. He knew that actresses were usually very strict about maintaining their figures.

“I’m used to it.” Lu Zhen ran her fingers through her hair. It was an ordinary gesture, but she did it with a unique sense of charm and grace.

Lu Zhen had been nurtured by Lu He since she was young. To put it nicely, she was nurtured. To put it bluntly, she was oppressed.

Lu He didn’t care if she was willing or not. In short, he made her strictly follow the standard diet of an actor. She had barely eaten a full meal since she was young. She barely drank any sugary drinks. If she didn’t complete her tasks, she would be beaten up.

Song Jia’s gaze landed on Lu Zhen. After a long time, he slowly said, “I heard that your contract is about to expire?”

Lu Zhen looked up at the man. The two of them looked at each other. Lu Zhen’s aura wasn’t suppressed by Song Jia at all.

“There’s no contract.” Lu Zhen knew that Song Jia was testing her. She tasted the lemonade and said calmly, “I’m just working for a company my family owns.”
