Chapter 131 Some People Value Romance Over Friends
The "Soul-Destroying Nails" are imaginary; there are no physical objects. They require post-production editing for the audience to see them on screen.
On set, there were staff members shouting "Soul-stirring nail, it's in your spot!" next to Ling Xia, and that was the actor's initial reaction.
As each of the Soul-Sealing Nails fell, Xia's face contorted in extreme pain, veins bulging, and her entire body trembling.
Just then, a tear rolled down Xia's cheek. She hadn't expected to cry, because she wasn't supposed to cry during this scene.
Tears streamed down Xia's face. Crystalline teardrops slowly fell onto her blood-soaked clothes.
At this moment, she forgot that she was Ling Xia, she was just Hua Qiangu. She stole the divine artifact for her master, but her master never understood her feelings.
She felt both unfortunate and fortunate, because her beloved master had survived. She had come here today with the resolve to die; let all of this vanish with her passing!
"click"
Lin Yu's voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
As soon as the director finished speaking, assistant Tian Tian immediately went on stage and handed Ling Xia a tissue, looking at her with great concern.
The director then announced the result, "Cut!"
The entire audience erupted in applause. Actors, staff, and extras all clapped. They were generous with their applause for actors with good acting skills.
Lu Bowen's usually stern face suddenly broke into a smile; he was happy for Ling Xia.
Few young actors can gain recognition from their peers through their performances, which indicates that Xia is not afraid of any subject matter; she can conquer any audience with her acting skills.
When Ling Xia was lowered down from the pillar, she saw Tian Tian, who was crying like a little kitten.
"Why is Xiao Gu so pitiful? She was clearly...saving people, she clearly...loves...her master, yet she's misunderstood by everyone. She's so tragic..."
Ling Xia sighed, "Yes, when I saw this scene, I cried so hard I couldn't catch my breath."
This is probably why the original author was so successful!
An extreme case of abusive love between a master and his disciple.
A sadomasochistic love affair that is not recognized by the world.
Many actors also shifted their attention from Lu Bowen to Ling Xia.
Whenever Ling Xia's scenes were filmed afterward, a group of people would gather to watch.
However, Xia Jiujiu couldn't forget the scene with the eighty-one Soul-Sealing Nails, and she hesitated before going to find Lu Bowen. After all, Lu Bowen's acting skills were praised by everyone in the Hua Qiangu cast.
She decided to go and learn from them anyway.
When Ling Xia knocked on Lu Bowen's door with the script in hand, his agent, Sun Peng, opened the door.
Sun Peng was holding a lunchbox and had a mouthful of noodles in his mouth. When he saw Ling Xia arrive, he choked and coughed desperately.
The coughing caught Lu Bowen's attention inside the house, but he only glanced at him, knowing Sun Peng's amusing nature. "Just opening the door, what's up, hit the jackpot?" he said with a teasing tone.
Sun Peng tried to stop coughing with his hand while blocking the door with his body to let Ling Xia in.
Seeing that Sun Peng's face was flushed from coughing, Ling Xia asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Sun Peng shook his head.
Lu Bowen appeared beside them very quickly.
Looking at Ling Xia with a hint of surprise, she said, "You were looking for me! Come on in."
Sun Peng: ......
Didn't you see he was coughing?
Ling Xia nodded, looking at Sun Peng with some concern.
Lu Bowen then noticed that Sun Peng was also there, and looked at Sun Peng with an expression that seemed to say, "Why are you still here?"
Sun Peng coughed a few more times.
Lu Bowen gave Sun Peng a few hard taps on the back with his large hand.
Sun Peng was beaten so badly that he stopped coughing.
Lu Bowen led Ling Xia into the living room, where Ling Xia glanced at Lu Bowen's room. It was a suite with a large, cozy living room and several food wrappers on the coffee table.
"Are you eating?" Ling Xia glanced at the open plastic box, which smelled delicious.
"No, we've finished eating, but we haven't cleaned up yet." Lu Bowen quickly tidied the coffee table, resealing the freshly opened food and setting it aside.
When Sun Peng returned, he saw this scene: a flock of crows flying over his head.
Lu Bowen happened to see Sun Peng. "Brother Sun, didn't you say you had something to discuss with the partners? It's time already." He picked up Sun Peng, who hadn't even eaten a few bites of noodles, and carried him out the door.
Sun Peng stood outside the door, holding a bowl of fried noodles, glaring angrily at Lu Bowen. The person inside smiled and closed the door.
Several assistant directors walked past the door and saw Sun Peng standing like a gatekeeper, so they kindly asked, "Manager Sun, what are you doing here...?"
Sun Peng said calmly, "I'm contemplating life."
It quickly slipped away amidst the surprised looks of several pairs of eyes.
Lu Bowen, that scoundrel who values women over friends, where could he have gone without his phone?
