Chapter 319: Inquiry
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the recording hall, all the groups in the classic reenactment segment had finished performing. The production team was about to announce the group votes and individual votes for the next eight groups.
Lu Zhen was already standing on the stage with the other three members of the team, waiting for the results of the votes to be announced.
She knew that her performance was successful. From the feedback of the audience’s standing ovation, she believed that the “Madam Sharon” team had presented a qualified answer to all the audience.
Lu Zhen was also satisfied with her performance. During the performance, she had no distracting thoughts and was completely immersed in the performance. She even entered a wonderful state where the souls of the actors themselves and the characters overlapped. This was something she had never experienced in her previous performances. This feeling also allowed her to gain a lot of new experience in acting.
There was something else that Lu Zhen did not expect.
Before she went on stage, she was still immersed in sadness and despair. For an actress, she could not have too many distracting thoughts when acting. It was even more taboo for her emotions to fluctuate too violently.
At first, Lu Zhen chose to forcefully suppress those negative emotions in her heart, but she still could not completely escape the influence of those emotions. When she first entered the performance state, the pain in her heart made her look a little tired and fragile.
Lu Zhen was about to adjust her state of mind and quickly get rid of the influence of her emotions.
But at this moment, she suddenly realized something. This tiredness and vulnerability seemed to be quite compatible with the state of Madam Sharon. After realizing this, Lu Zhen did not force herself out of her emotions during the performance. Instead, she followed her own state and handled every performance in a more natural way.
In the end, she did the right thing. She boldly tried to bring real-life emotional experiences into the performance, which made her performance seem extremely natural and real and richer.
Lu Zhen further understood what the training teacher had told her previously.
“Good actors can learn to mobilize the emotions they have already experienced and integrate them into their performance.”
She had tested this theory with practice today. In a way, this was a coincidence, even though this “luck” almost made Lu Zhen break down before she went on stage.
When the production team was counting the votes, the emcee couldn’t let the atmosphere at the event location turn cold, so he actively interacted with the directors. After the emcee asked the directors to evaluate the performances of the other teams, he mentioned Lu Zhen’s team.
The emcee said, “From the audience’s reaction, it can be seen that everyone is deeply touched by the performance of the members of Madam Sharon. Here, I also have a question for Director Bai Ge.”
The production team would pay attention to the comments in the live- stream at all times. They would choose some representative questions raised by the netizens and let the emcee ask the director or celebrity students on the spot.
The emcee looked at the note in his hand and continued, “In the classic reenactment segment, there were major changes to the plot of ‘Madam Sharon’. Especially when the female lead said that to the moon, it was a plot that didn’t exist in the original movie. The netizens felt that this was a genius change. Director Bai Ge, how did you come up with this plot?”
Everyone at the event location turned to look at Bai Ge.
Bai Ge still looked lazy. Shire handed him the microphone. He picked it up and smiled. “No, I only directed the performance of the other three members of Madam Sharon’s team. The changes to the script and the creation of the new plot were all done by Lu Zhen alone. You should ask her this question.”
After Bai Ge finished speaking, the audience was shocked and looked at Lu Zhen in disbelief.
Lu Zhen’s performance was already enough to stun everyone. Now, Bai Ge told them that the changes to the script and the addition of a new plot were actually completed by Lu Zhen!
This was no longer just a genius. This was simply a freak! Could Lu Zhen be a rare star in the entertainment industry?
The emcee was also stunned for a few seconds. After a while, he looked at Lu Zhen in shock and admiration and asked her the question again.
Lu Zhen did not expect Director Bai Ge’s words to make her stand in an extremely high-profile position. Actually, she did not intend to mention this at all. In her opinion, as long as the performance in the end moved the audience, it was fine. What she did behind the scenes was not important..
