Lu Zhen stood in front of the camera and was already in the zone. Just as she was about to start acting with the actors, she suddenly heard a voice. “Wait!” She looked up and saw that not far away, the actor playing the female lead walked towards Orel and spoke to him.

There seemed to be an argument between the two of them. Then Orel spread his hands helplessly. After the female lead left, Orel said a few words to his assistant, who then found a makeup artist.

Lu Zhen was brought to the dressing room and changed her makeup again.

She had already put on makeup three times before filming a scene. To Lu Zhen, this was something she had never experienced before.

Lu Zhen didn’t know what the actor playing the female lead had said to Orel. After the makeup artist finished putting on her makeup, she looked very bright and moving in the mirror. Although the heavy eye shadow made her look a little tacky, she still looked very beautiful overall.

After Lu Zhen finished putting on her makeup, the filming continued. The setting of the role of the Oriental Dancer was relatively simple. Lu Zhen performed almost without any pressure, but she still added many details during the performance.

When showing the disdain of the Oriental Dancer for the female lead, Lu Zhen focused not on the Oriental Dancer’s attitude towards the female lead, but on the Oriental Dancer’s pride in her past self.

There was a difference between the two. If the Oriental Dancer was just disdainful of the female lead, then she would only appear arrogant and stupid. However, in the performance, she added a trace of pride from her past glorious experiences, which made the character look less annoying.

The Oriental Dancer’s eyes were bright as she recalled her experience performing this song to her companions. A faint smile appeared on her lips as if she was dreaming. Seeing this scene, the audience felt a trace of sympathy for her.

After Lu Zhen got this role, she studied it for a long time.

Most of the time, simple characters had a lot of room to play. Lu Zhen carefully enriched the role without going overboard, making it look like it was not just a stupid and rude supporting role.

After the scene, Lu Zhen looked at Orel. If Orel was not satisfied with her acting, then all her thoughts would be in vain. However, Orel’s reaction made Lu Zhen heave a sigh of relief. He did not say that Lu Zhen’s performance was inappropriate, but he did not praise Lu Zhen either. He only asked

After filming for the day, Lu Zhen packed her things and was about to return to the hotel when she suddenly saw a slender woman walking past her.

Lu Zhen immediately shouted, “Miss Melissa!” Melissa heard someone call her and turned to see Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen walked up to Melissa and smiled politely. “After your interaction with the director today, the director asked the makeup artist to change my makeup. Thank you so much.”

Lu really didn’t know how Melissa negotiated with the director, but the end result was in her favor. For an actress, there was probably no one who didn’t want to be beautiful on screen. Melissa smiled faintly. “It’s fine. That’s how it should be. By the way, your Madam Sharon is wonderful.”

Lu Zhen didn’t expect Melissa to have seen her variety show clip. After a moment of shock, she smiled implicitly. The two of them did not chat for long. After all, they were not familiar with each other. After Lu Zhen returned to the hotel, she shared this matter with Song Jia.

“Objectively speaking, the director really doesn’t understand a principle.” Song Jia chatted with Lu Zhen as he flipped through the document.

“Your character will only appear for a few minutes, and the purpose of your existence is to support the female lead. If you deliberately make yourself look bad, you won’t be able to highlight the female lead’s brilliance. I think that lady called Melissa might understand this.”

Lu Zhen yawned. “Maybe she’s just being kind. Anyway, I’ve already thanked her. By the way, according to the current progress, I can return to the country after filming. I’ll definitely be able to make it in time for the new year.”

A faint smile appeared on Song Jia’s lips. “Why don’t you go straight to Hua City after filming? You can adapt to the Jiang family’s environment in advance.’

Lu Zhen shook her head. “No, I’ll return to the capital after filming.”

Before the new year, she wanted to spend as much time with Song Jia as possible. After the new year, she will be busy again. The two of them probably wouldn’t have many chances to meet..
