Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously. “That’s what I mean.”

The makeup artist didn’t stop what she was doing and started chatting with Xiaoxiao.

“These are all the director’s requests. When he first told me about Lu Zhen’s makeup request, I almost didn’t understand what he meant. He told me that after putting on makeup for Lu Zhen, there shouldn’t be any traces of makeup. The lighter the makeup, the better, but at the same time, I have to highlight the characteristics of Lu Zhen’s facial features to the greatest extent.”

A moment later, the makeup artist put her hand down and leaned back. She observed the overall effect of the makeup and nodded in satisfaction.

“Don’t worry. It’ll be over soon.”

Xiaoxiao immediately said, “We’re not in a hurry. By the way, why did the director make such a request? If that’s the case, can’t we not put on makeup?” The makeup artist could not answer this question.

After putting on her makeup, Lu Zhen thanked the makeup artist politely.

When they arrived at the set, the surrounding staff were already prepared. The most obvious characteristic of Director Gao Fan’s photography style was that his use of light was very different from others.

There was a main light source at the event location, and there were a total of four people in charge of the other secondary light sources. The arrangement of light in the entire scene was very dreamy.

The scene filmed today was the first time Manni and Fu Shi met.

Of course, it was not accurate to say that.

As Fu Shi’s perspective was shown in the last scene, the scene filmed today should be the first time Fu Shi had seen Manni in his mind.

Lu Zhen stood in front of the fixed seat and looked around, but she did not see Li Feng. Could it be that Li Feng wasn’t here yet? That wasn’t right. Li Feng didn’t seem like someone who would be late.

Soon, Lu Zhen saw Director Gao Fan walking towards her. Before Lu Zhen could ask, Gao Fan said, “Find your senses first and walk from that position to here.’

Lu Zhen nodded and quickly entered work mode. Soon, she stood at one end of the corridor. After filming began, Lu Zhen slowly walked towards the other end of the corridor according to her previous practice.

After walking one round, Gao Fan asked her to walk again.

Lu Zhen returned to her original position and walked again.

“One more time.”

Two hours passed.

Lu Zhen could no longer remember how many times she had walked. Her legs were a little numb, and the two actresses standing beside her looked even more bitter. She had filmed so many times, but Gao Fan did not tell her what was wrong with her, let alone guide her. He only let her walk again and again.

At this moment, Lu Zhen understood the actors who had once broken down in Gao Fan’s production team. This seemingly endless repetition was an extremely strong blow to the actors’ hearts.

What was worse was that Gao Fan wouldn’t tell you much. He doesn’t praise you for what you did well, let alone accuse you of anything wrong.

Lu Zhen had a headache. She tried her best not to bring the negative emotions that surfaced in her heart into the performance. Because Gao Fan was using a simulated light source, the event location remained in the afternoon. Time seemed to have never passed. Lu Zhen felt as if she had fallen into an endless cycle.

After an unknown period of time, a distant “stop” suddenly sounded.

Lu Zhen was in a daze and did not react at all. She looked at Gao Fan in confusion.

Gao Fan nodded at her. “That’s enough. Come here for a while.” Lu Zhen walked towards Gao Fan. Gao Fan casually brought over a stool and asked Lu Zhen to sit down. “These are the 39 cuts you just finished filming. Take a look first.” Gao Fan stood up and left.

Lu Zhen looked at the screen. After being stunned for a moment, she began to look at the scenes she had filmed. She actually took thirty-nine cuts. In the end, she did not even know how many times she could do it. She just waited mechanically for Gao Fan to say, “Do it again.” She did not even think about how well she had acted.

Lu Zhen swiped her fingers and read them one by one. After a while, Gao Fan returned. He sat beside her and watched with her. It took her a long time to finish watching all the scenes. Lu Zhen’s eyes ached.

“What do you think? Which one do you think is the best?” Gao Fan adjusted his sitting posture and asked.

Lu Zhen had been comparing as she watched. In fact, in every scene, her overall performance did not change much. It was just that some details were different.

Lu Zhen hesitated for a few seconds and said uncertainly, “Cut 35?”

Gao Fan glanced at her.. “Why thirty-five?”
