594 Not Bad
Leah was such a good name, but she had to suffer so much injustice and pain.
Leah slumped weakly against the wall. She sat there with her head raised against the wall. Her entire face was lifeless, and she had turned much paler. Her eyes were also very empty, as if she had lost all her future and dreams.
After a while, Leah’s face twitched unnaturally. Then, she smiled. Her smile was so carefree, so pure, and so sad.
She treated her childishness and naivety as a joke. She laughed at herself for being too silly and stubborn. However, as she smiled, she cried again. She cried at herself for being too aggrieved. She cried at her miserable life and his betrayal.
More than once, she picked up the necklace around her neck and opened it to look at the photo with him. Every time she looked at it, she would cry. The more she cried, the sadder she became.
At this moment, it was as if the person sitting there was not an Asian supporting actress, Ye Meng, but the real Leah.
When the director saw this scene, he couldn’t help but reach out his fingers to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. He was so sad that he couldn’t control himself. The surrounding staff were also extremely sad. They all knew that this was a show, an act, and fake.
However, they all knew that the emotions that Ye Meng erupted with at this moment were true emotions that no one else could portray.
The highest realm of an actor was to achieve perfection with their own body and turn the fake into reality. Only by fooling themselves could they fool the audience.
It was obvious that his Sixth Sister Ye Meng had done this. Even Ye Xuan felt sad when he saw his Sixth Sister like this. It was as if his Sixth Sister was really the one who was injured. It was as if this was her life. At the same time, he was angry and wanted to make the person who let her down pay the price. However, he reacted in an instant and almost fell into the realm of the movie. He could not help but smile.
After being sad for a while, Leah wiped her tears and picked up her phone to reply to her good friend who had sent her a message.
It read, “I saved the old him. The current him has nothing to do with me. Old friend, if I can’t come back, remember to visit my grandmother more often in my hometown. I’ll protect you. Also, I wish Alia a smooth delivery. I left her a big gift in the front yard of my grandmother’s house for her school fees.”
After sending it, Leah gritted her teeth and her expression became determined again. Then, she threw her phone into the water, stood up, and ran into another alley, disappearing from the camera.
Then, the director immediately shouted.
“Cut!!”
The cameraman immediately stopped filming. The staff member holding the microphone also stopped and put the microphone aside. He shook his slightly sore hand and let out a long sigh.
Sixth Sister Ye Meng also walked out from the other side of the alley and arrived at the production team. The makeup artist immediately surrounded her and began to touch up Sixth Sister Ye Meng’s makeup.
At this moment, the director also smiled and nodded at Sixth Sister Ye Meng. He praised her.
“Yes, I knew that George was right. From the ten people he recommended to me, I took a fancy to you at a glance. Not bad, you acted very well. Keep up the good work and rest for the next segment.”
For the sake of his dignity, the director tried his best to maintain his seriousness, lest he praised the actors too much and made them arrogant or asked for a higher salary. That would be troublesome.
After all, this kind of thing had happened many times.
After Ye Meng had her makeup touched up, Ye Xuan ran up with a bottle of mineral water and handed it to his Sixth Sister.
Ye Meng unscrewed the lid and took two sips. Then, she sat on the stool and rested well. It was very tiring to change her emotions in a short period of time.
Therefore, she needed to rest well.
At this moment, many actors around her also came forward and praised Ye Meng.
“Your acting is really good. This acting is too realistic.”
“Sister, which film academy did you graduate from? Your acting skills are too amazing. When I saw this script previously, I thought that this scene was too difficult to act in. I didn’t expect you to act so well. You’re too amazing.”
“Me too. When I saw this scene, I knew that I would probably be exhausted from playing this role. Just watching it is tiring. I really don’t know how you acted, Sister.”
“Impressive, impressive. I really admire you. Haha.”
“However, it’s a pity that you’re playing a supporting role with your acting skills. You can totally act as the protagonist.”
“She specially came to nurture her acting skills. Ordinary people really can’t act in this scene.”
“Haha, that’s right. Alright, alright. The next scene is about to begin. Mark, it won’t be a problem for you to act with her later, right? Will you feel pressured? Hahahaha.”
“I’m the male lead after all. It’s fine. I’ll try it later.”
Sixth Sister Ye Meng didn’t know what to say and could only smile back at everyone. At this moment, the director and staff were already prepared for the next scene. Then, they clapped their hands and spoke.
“Alright, let’s go to the next place now. Next, it’s the end of this movie. You, that Asian supporting actress, act well later. Let’s try to finish in one take.”
With that, he took the things and walked towards the alley on the other side. The others followed.
When they arrived, the props were arranged. Then, the director sat in front of the small television and nodded at Ye Meng.
“Put on a good show. It’ll be over in one shot. After that, we’ll wrap up.”
Sixth Sister Ye Meng nodded and walked forward, preparing to start the last scene of this movie.
No wonder she was a supporting actress. She only appeared in the finale, and the filming was over in two scenes. However, even so, it was indeed the finishing touch of this movie. Without such a small scene, it probably wouldn’t be that good.
At this moment, the director held the script and looked at the small television. He shouted.
“Three, two, one, begin!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sixth Sister Ye Meng ran out and ran to a house. The male lead was inside. She was prepared to go in and save the male lead so that he could evacuate.
However, at this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded and hit the wall beside Leah. The gunshot shocked Leah. At the same time, she realized that the assassin had arrived.
This nervousness, shock, and panic were all portrayed by Sixth Sister Ye Meng. When the director saw this, he slapped his thigh again and could not help but shout, “Good!”
At this moment, the male and female leads in the house also noticed the gunshots. They knew that it must be related to them, so they picked up their guns and guarded the window, preparing to counterattack.
However, suddenly, an explosion sounded. The house was blown into two, and the male and female leads had nowhere to hide.
