A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 885: She Still Has a Long Way to Go!
The afternoon is all about Xiang Lanqiu’s scenes.
She plays the role of Su Yunqing, the mother of the female lead Shen Yu. She has a harmonious relationship with her husband Liu Cheng, and they have a daughter. Her husband Liu Cheng works in research and, together with his friend Xu Anhua, obtains a patent, only for Xu Anhua to unexpectedly take a desperate turn and commit suicide.
Su Yunqing uncovers the true nature of her old flame Xu Anhua, confronts him, and during a tussle, gets into a car accident, losing her memory. Meanwhile, their daughter Liu Yu is sold by Xu Anhua to human traffickers and ends up in a Shen family.
No one expected that Liu Yu is not Liu Cheng’s daughter, but rather the illegitimate child of Su Yunqing and Xu Anhua. Fate entangles this family together after twenty years, with a trend of not resting until resolution. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Xiang Lanqiu plays the younger version of Su Yunqing. The scenes to be filmed are not extensive, mainly her discovery of her old flame’s true nature and the car accident scene.
As an award-winning actress, Xiang Lanqiu’s acting skills are beyond doubt.
This time, the crew invited Xiang Lanqiu to spark some attention, and of course, it’s the same for Xiang Lanqiu herself.
An award-winning actress making a shift to the TV market is, in itself, a major attraction.
It’s Mu Yan’s first time watching Xiang Lanqiu act off-screen, despite her having a minor role, yet she can perfectly portray the character’s psychology through her expressions and movements.
Sitting next to Director Wu, watching the monitor with Xiang Lanqiu, Mu Yan suddenly feels a chill down her spine, breaking into a cold sweat.
She knows she has encountered a formidable foe.
Since her debut, although every piece of her work has been a hit, she has never really met a strong opponent, except for Wang Linjia and Zhou Lifen. However, her scenes with them are not extensive, concealing her drawbacks.
How could Wang Linjia and Zhou Lifen be a match for Xiang Lanqiu, who has won the prestigious Golden Hairpin Award for Best Actress and even been nominated for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival?
At this moment, she realizes clearly that she still has many shortcomings.
The box office for "Lone Eagle" is very high, fifty billion after a month of release, but how many came for Leng Hao, and how many for Director Jiao Ziyou?
Without them making "Lone Eagle" what it is, naturally, nobody would know her or even praise her.
Mu Yan exhales lightly, aware that now is not the time to be distracted; this is a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity.
She keeps her eyes fixed on the monitor, watching the woman, growing increasingly astonished.
"Cut!" Wu Huai suddenly shouts.
Mu Yan wakes from the dream-like state, trembling all over, instinctively looking at Xiang Lanqiu across from her, who is walking over, calmly composed.
With each step Xiang Lanqiu takes, Mu Yan feels an invisible pressure drawing closer, almost suffocating her.
Wu Huai praises, "Nice."
"Really?" Xiang Lanqiu lightly furrows her brows, looking at Mu Yan, "What do you think?"
Mu Yan confidently responds, "You acted very well."
Xiang Lanqiu is half-convinced, walks over to Wu Huai’s side to watch the monitor.
She reviews the filming process and her face slightly darkens, "This take won’t do, the action I did just now wasn’t perfect enough."
Wu Huai smiles slightly, "I agree, we could adjust that part."
"Alright, I’ll prepare and let’s do another take," Xiang Lanqiu nods, heading back to the scene.
Watching her back, Mu Yan feels like she has been slapped in the face; just now she thought Xiang Lanqiu’s performance was superb, but it’s clearly not enough for her or the director.
Suddenly covering her face, she realizes she has a long way to go!
