Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Stunning Everyone! Zuo Xianyu Lost Her Talent (2)

Ten minutes later, the on-site coordinator brought Tao Yunqi over.

Si Fuqing finished her water and stepped forward.

“Relax, young girl,” Tao Yunqi said, patting her on the shoulder. “Don’t be nervous about the scene. If we make a mistake, we’ll simply reshoot. You’re new to film and television, so don’t burden yourself too much.”

Si Fuqing blinked, “Thank you, Teacher Tao.”

The director, megaphone in hand, announced, “Alright, the final scene. The emotional focus here is on Teacher Tao, who has been searching for her daughter for twenty years. Teacher Si, just grasp those emotional points, and we’ll start.”

The camera position shifted, and the shooting officially began.

It was well-known that to become a celebrated actor or actress required exceptional talent, not to mention Tao Yunqi was a veteran in the field. Even the producer was worried whether Si Fuqing could keep up with the scene.

If she couldn’t, the contrast would be stark.

Gleaming Crystal sat next to the director, ready to do the dubbing shortly.

This was a scene set in the rain.

The heroine finds a lonely girl about to throw herself into the sea at the beach. She knew her child had endured hardships and was at the brink of giving up on

life.

She had to find her child.

As the heavy rain poured down at the beach, the girl stood in the rain, facing the sea.

Raindrops fell from her hair, soaking her through, her complexion pale.

Hearing someone calling her, she turned around.

Her gaze was vacant, her eyes lifeless, devoid of any vitality.

Yet, after hearing Tao Yunqi’s words, it was as if the clouds had parted, revealing the sun. The grey of death slowly dissipated, replaced by the vibrant spirit unique to youth, her eyes shining brightly.

The emotion built up layer by layer, reaching its peak before she even spoke.

With countless twists and turns, she finally uttered the unfamiliar term, “Mo…

mom?”

Those two words made Tao Yunqi feel a jolt, a reaction she only had when acting with top-tier actors.

She had been in many movies and was naturally adept at emotional scenes.

But this time, she was genuinely moved to tears by Si Fuqing’s words.

It was as if she had finally found her long-lost child after an arduous search.

She couldn’t bear to see her child die.

Everyone was immersed in this poignant reunion of mother and daughter. After what seemed like an eternity, the director called out, “Cut!”

His shout brought everyone back to reality, releasing a collective sigh of relief.

It was a relief the director called cut; if he hadn’t, and Si Fuqing had nailed the scene in one take, that would have been unusual.

“Very good, very good, you’ve captured those emotional points perfectly,” the director praised. “Your lines were great too, but Teacher Tao, you stepped back too far and went out of the frame. Let’s shoot it again.”

This statement took everyone by surprise.

Wait, the cut wasn’t because ofSi Fuqing, but because of Tao Yunqi, the celebrated actress?

The director, looking perplexedly at Si Fuqing, asked, “But the voice you used during the scene, wasn’t it different from your normal voice?”

The character in “Seeking the Lost” had wandered the streets since childhood, enduring hardships that greatly damaged her voice.

Si Fuqing’s voice was beautiful; her singing of “Mountain Ghost Ballad” had been made into a separate short video, amassing over four million views.

The director was concerned her natural voice might not suit the role.

For example, casting an actress with a childish voice to play a mature character often breaks the immersion for the audience.

Si Fuqing remained calm, not blushing in the slightest, “I was using a different technique for my voice. ”

The director conceded, “Alright, let’s do it one more time, and then we’re done for the day.”

The scene went well, but it was taxing on his heart.

He needed to visit the hospital with Yuan Heping for a check-up.

Initially expected to continue until six o’clock, all scenes were wrapped up by four.

The crew erupted in cheers.

“Time to eat, time to eat.”

“Our crew is the best, getting to enjoy two wrap parties.”

Tao Yunqi looked deeply at Si Fuqing, “You were born to act.”

Only Tao Yunqi, who had acted opposite Si Fuqing, knew that in the scene just shot, her emotions were entirely led by Si Fuqing.

It wasn’t that Si Fuqing couldn’t keep up with her; it was almost that she couldn’t keep up with Si Fuqing.

I’ll start to not be modest.”

“Having talent isn’t being arrogant. It’s those without talent who market themselves endlessly. The entertainment industry needs actors like you,” Tao Yunqi said, “I hope we can work more together in the future.”

Si Fuqing nodded with a gentle smile, “There will be opportunities.” Meanwhile.

“Teacher Gleaming Crystal, thank you for making the trip today. Teacher Si’s performance has met my standards,” the director thanked her profusely. “Join us for the wrap party later..”
