Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Guess what happened in the end?” Yang Na suddenly looked at Lu Zhen and asked with a smile.
Lu Zhen smiled. “How can I guess that?”
“What if it was you? What would you do after being treated like that by the director a few days ago?” Yang Na asked with interest.
Lu Zhen thought for a few seconds and said, “Other than eating and sleeping, I’ll spend all my time studying the scenes I have to film later. I’ll also practice the martial arts moves over and over again and strive to perform better next time. If I can’t do it, I might not even be able to sleep well.”
There was naturally no need for Lu Zhen to force herself to that extent. Her acting skills were already in the top tier of domestic actors. However, after she put herself in the young lady’s shoes, Lu Zhen felt that she would definitely do that.
This was her personality and her way of solving problems. There were many things in the world that could not be done, but as long as one worked hard to do most of them, even if they could not achieve perfection, they could at least submit a qualified answer.
Lu Zhen had always worked hard in her career. She had also encountered many difficulties in her acting career, but she would grit her teeth and think of all ways to overcome those difficulties.
When you overcome difficulties many times, those ordinary difficulties won’t be a problem for you. Your abilities will also be trained to become stronger. After that, the only thing that could make you feel a sense of urgency and pressure was the higher level of difficulty. That also meant that you had entered a new stage of life and stepped onto a higher level.
Yang Na nodded in agreement. With her personality, her actions might be similar to Lu Zhen’s.
“l don’t know what that young lady has sacrificed in the past few days, but she performed much better that day than the previous two days. Although it wasn’t perfect, her performance actually had some highlights. Her stubborn and cold eyes gave the role of junior sister a special charm. Her scenes were filmed a few times and passed. Although the director didn’t praise her, I could tell that he was satisfied.’
Lu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. She had been a little nervous for that little girl just now. Now, it seemed that the little girl’s personality was quite tenacious and she was willing to work hard. Although she did not study acting, with such a personality, she might be able to stand out in this industry in the future.
Yang Na smiled and said, “I’m not done yet.”
Lu Zhen leaned against the sofa and said gently, “Alright, continue.”
“Her good performance was not the main point. What surprised me was that after filming that day, she suddenly found the director alone, The director was also quite surprised and asked her what was the matter. The young lady looked at the director and was obviously nervous. The muscles on her face were tense. She suddenly said to the director, “Director, can you hug me?” Hearing this, Lu Zhen was stunned.
“At that time, the director was also shocked by the young lady’s bold request. Then, the young lady said, ‘A few days ago, you hugged other actors after filming and didn’t hug me. I know I didn’t perform well that day. I’ve improved today. I don’t know if I’ve reached the passing score in your heart. If I have, can you hug me? If not, I’ll continue to work hard.’”
With that, Yang Na looked at Lu Zhen quietly. After Lu Zhen’s surprise, her curiosity was piqued. She asked, “Did the director hug her?”
Yang Na smiled and nodded. “The director isn’t made of stone. In the beginning, he didn’t think highly of this young lady. He probably thought that she was forced into the production team. She had a backer but didn’t have the ability, so he didn’t treat her well. However, the young lady worked hard to prove herself and improved so quickly. The director also saw her potential and his attitude towards her improved.”
After hearing Yang Na finish this story, Lu Zhen nodded. “It’s quite interesting. ”
If it were Lu Zhen, even if she relied on her hard work to prove herself, she would not ask the director for a hug. She would feel that acting was what she should do. She would just complete the mission. There was no need to be calculative about a hug.
Moreover, if she did well enough, the director would definitely not treat her differently in the future.
However, the young lady’s choice was different. From this incident, it could be seen that she had a strong personality. Furthermore, she had a strong core. If she went to the director to ask for a hug, she would be able to completely wash away the psychological impact of the incident a few days ago and continue moving forward..
