Chapter 155: The First Scene Between the Lead Actor and Actress

This crying scene required cooperation between the male and female leads.

As the brand-new female lead of *Three Lives Three Worlds*, Su Murou naturally had to step up and perform alongside Chen Fang.

Although it was Su Murou's first time filming in the Beijing circle, no one in the crew doubted her acting skills. After all, she had starred in quite a few films and television dramas before. Setting aside her background, her acting was unquestionably solid.

"Murou, lie down on the floor."

"Kid Chen, kneel on the floor and hold Murou in your arms."

Xi Dong directed.

A qualified director is also an excellent floor manager.

Outside the set, Xi Dong acted as the action director and floor manager. Not only would he instruct Chen Fang and Su Murou on how to interpret the plot, but he would also adjust and modify their movements.

Chen Fang didn't mind.

For the sake of filming,

these things were completely normal.

However, Su Murou felt strange inside, especially when Chen Fang pulled her into his arms. Her mind instantly went haywire, and she couldn't maintain her usual composure.

You must know,

she had already seen Chen Fang naked.

And Chen Fang had seen her entirely bare as well.

It was just that because Chen Fang was Ji Mei's man, and Ji Mei was her best friend, Su Murou constantly hypnotized herself into forgetting everything that had happened before.

But at this moment,

feeling Chen Fang's body temperature,

in a flash,

the image of Chen Fang stark naked with his eight-pack abs resurfaced in Su Murou's mind.

She even remembered

Chen Fang's size downstairs.

Su Murou's face turned red at a visible rate, and her entire body curled up slightly in unease, trying to minimize physical contact with Chen Fang.

"Are you alright?"

Chen Fang noticed Su Murou's abnormality right away.

Su Murou fanned her face with her palm. "It must be too hot."

It was indeed too hot.

Except,

it was the heart of Su Murou that was burning hot.

This Stellar Film Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in Hengdian, and every single hotel room was equipped with intelligent air conditioning to ensure the room temperature remained at the most comfortable level at all times.

Chen Fang gave her a peculiar look.

Xi Dong offered a reminder: "Murou, your face is too red. We are trying to shoot a crying scene. If you look like this, it might affect Chen Fang's performance."

"I'll adjust."

Su Murou took a deep breath.

In just a few seconds,

the flush on her cheeks faded, returning to her usual fair skin, and even a trace of tears welled up in Su Murou's eyes.

She truly deserved to be a professional actress!

Chen Fang clicked his tongue inwardly.

One of the life creeds Chen Fang had summarized from his time on Earth to Huaguo was that one must never date a female actress, because in the world of a female actress, her love for you can be acted out—and acted out so convincingly that it was completely impossible to tell it was fake.

Of course,

sleeping together was still acceptable.

When Chen Fang was on Earth, he had exchanged bedroom tips with quite a few actresses. He had to admit that actresses had equally outstanding acting skills in bed, not losing to those teachers from the island nation in the slightest.

Sleeping with a female singer would at most allow you to experience physical pleasure.

But sleeping with a female actress would grant you a full sense of achievement.

This was the so-called emotional value.

They would give you the illusion that "you are fierce in bed," greatly satisfying your inner ego.

Pulling back his thoughts,

Chen Fang focused on the performance before him.

Chen Fang also wanted to squeeze out tears within a few seconds, but facts proved that he couldn't.

Even though Chen Fang ran through every sorrowful event of his life in his mind, his eyes remained dry without a hint of moisture.

"It seems my talent for acting is quite ordinary."

Chen Fang sighed inwardly.

However,

this was normal.

Everyone has flaws.

For Chen Fang, acting was perhaps his weak point.

But it didn't matter!

Chen Fang had the system.

"System, didn't you say that in specific scenarios, the Junior Acting Skill Card would take effect?"

"Why don't I feel anything?"

Chen Fang asked in his mind.

The system explained, "One of the criteria for determining whether you have entered a specific scenario is whether the director has shouted 'Action.' Therefore, if you want to see the effect of the acting card, Xi Dong needs to shout 'Action' first."

There was even this restriction?

I must say,

this acting card was quite rule-abiding.

Xi Dong made a gesture to the others, and everyone in the room held their breath, leaving all the performance space entirely to Chen Fang and Su Murou.

"Action!"

With the order given,

Xi Dong stopped speaking, his burning gaze fixed intently on Chen Fang.

As the word fell,

Chen Fang felt his body suddenly grow heavy, as if a weight of ten thousand catties was pressing down on him. The plot and lines from the script flashed through his mind, and a surge of intense sorrow welled up from the bottom of his heart. The next second, Chen Fang's eyes turned crimson, hot tears streamed down, and the hands holding Su Murou began to tremble.

In an instant,

everyone was stunned.

Oh my god!

Chen Fang entered the state way too fast.

The crucial part was that

the intensity and shift of his gaze and emotions were just right. Everyone who had read the script knew that this segment required the male and female leads to display the immense agony of parting through life and death, making the audience feel an empathetic sorrow upon seeing this scene.

The state Chen Fang displayed at this moment was that of emotions teetering on the absolute edge of collapse, yet barely managing to retain a shred of rationality.

"Awesome!"

"Has this guy Chen Fang really never acted before?"

"A talented actor, totally freakish."

"He has thoroughly digested the plot; his emotional grasp of this segment is spot on."

"Director Xi's vision is ruthlessly sharp."

......

Everyone harbored different thoughts in their hearts,

yet all were marveling at Chen Fang's performance.

Chen Fang's current acting skills didn't look like a newcomer entering the circle at all; they were even much better than some veteran actors who had been in the film and television industry for a long time.

To put it without exaggeration,

Chen Fang had conquered everyone in the room using merely facial expressions and subtle physical movements.

In fact,

Chen Fang didn't even need to speak his lines.

Xi Dong's eyes were filled with wild delight.

He had struck gold!

His original expectation was just that Chen Fang's expression wouldn't be stiff, and that he could memorize his lines completely—that would already be considered a success.

After all,

Chen Fang had never filmed before.

Having too high of an expectation for Chen Fang would be unrealistic instead.

Besides,

this drama was an idol drama to begin with.

As long as the appearances of the male and female leads were high enough, the audience would still pay to watch.

Never had he expected

that Chen Fang would give him such a massive surprise.

Even Su Murou, who was in Chen Fang's arms, wore a momentary look of blank astonishment. Viewing Chen Fang's facial expressions from her perspective made them even more vivid and tense.

"Chen Fang's acting is this good?"

Su Murou's mind went blank.

So much so that

she almost forgot the lines for this segment of the script.

Xi Dong grew anxious inside as he looked at the dumbfounded Su Murou. *Read your damn lines already! You're just lying in Chen Fang's arms crying; if you don't say your lines, how is Chen Fang supposed to continue the scene?*

But this also indirectly showed that Chen Fang's acting had truly shocked Su Murou.

Fortunately,

Su Murou was no rookie.

She snapped back to her senses immediately and began her own performance.
