Chapter 258 Cooperation
Chapter 258 Cooperation
Qiu Ziyue's thoughts began to drift away.
"A young master, his face flushed red, coughed incessantly, calling for Steward Lin. Little Nail ran over to ask what was wrong..."
Some blurry images flashed through her mind, making her feel dizzy.
She tried to remain calm and continue the performance, but she couldn't suppress the unease in her heart.
This feeling of déjà vu grew stronger and stronger, as if a hidden memory was trying to surface.
She gently covered her forehead, trying her best not to let the audience notice her abnormality.
Despite feeling unwell, Qiu Ziyue still managed to complete the entire performance thanks to her outstanding acting skills.
Every move she makes on stage is full of tension.
Especially during the moment she teased the young master, her performance won enthusiastic applause from the audience.
The stage lights suddenly softened, and the judges' voices sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet air.
The host handed the microphone to one of the judges, who cleared his throat and looked directly at Hao Meigui.
"Contestant number 1, Hao Meigui, is there anything you still disagree with? This is your last chance."
Hao Meigui stood in the center of the stage, a hint of anger and grievance flashing across her face.
She took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly:
"I guess I'm just unlucky to have run into Qiu Ziyue. Qiu Ziyue, where did you come from? This is outrageous!"
Her eyes revealed a hint of resentment and confusion.
"I always thought I was well prepared, but I still lost."
The audience below the stage held their breath, the atmosphere tense and heavy.
At this moment, Qi Yuxuan stood up, his tone gentle but firm:
"A good actor is like gold; no matter where you put him, he will shine like a protagonist."
"We've already put you in the main character position, but you still haven't shone brightly enough."
Hao Meigui lowered her head and listened silently to these words, her mind filled with complicated thoughts.
Another judge joined the conversation, his tone filled with affirmation and encouragement:
"Hao Meigui, you are an excellent actress. If Qiu Ziyue hadn't appeared, you would be the queen. But today, as you know, Qiu Ziyue is even more skilled."
Hao Meigui raised her head, a glimmer of understanding flashing in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and then said in a calm tone:
"Thank you, I know you're right. I was truly amazed by Qiu Ziyue's performance, and I lost."
A round of applause broke out, though it was sparse, it was full of respect and recognition.
"But I still have some doubts. They say it takes ten years of practice offstage for ten minutes of performance,"
"But Qiu Ziyue is only a sophomore in high school, she hasn't taken any acting classes, and she hasn't acted in any dramas, so why is she so amazing, and can even do disguises?"
Hao Meigui said.
The judges and audience were somewhat taken aback.
Hao Meigui stood in the center of the stage, a hint of anger and grievance flashing across her face.
She took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly: "I always thought I was well prepared, but I still lost."
At this moment, Qi Yuxuan knew in his heart that Qiu Ziyue had been taught by the top teacher of the Valley of Passion for nine years in ancient times. How could she not be amazing?
But he couldn't say it aloud, so he had to express it in a more tactful way:
"Heroes come from all walks of life, but talent is needed for a performance. Hao Meigui, if you have nothing more to say, let's bring this competition to a perfect close."
Hao Meigui lowered her head, bowed slightly, thanked the judges and the audience, and then slowly walked off the stage.
Her silhouette looked somewhat forlorn, but her eyes held a renewed determination.
The competition has now come to an end.
Next, this news from Z City began to gain traction.
People no longer doubted Qiu Ziyue's abilities, and many doubts and slanders turned into admiration.
Ziyue Pictures' reputation is growing, and the company's profits are gradually increasing.
Hei Sanye also learned of these new developments and began to suspect Qiu Ziyue's identity.
Just as Hao Meigui said, Qiu Ziyue couldn't have been so skilled without nearly ten years of experience.
However, the fact is that Qiu Ziyue went to school as soon as she woke up after being in a vegetative state for nine years, and nothing happened during that time.
What exactly happened?
Hei Sanye thought to himself that he didn't actually have any deep-seated hatred for Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan; he just had taken a liking to that little girl.
Even if you force that girl, it won't end well. It's better to find an opportunity to get close to her and make her like you.
However, Qiu Ziyue usually doesn't go out. When she does go out, she has bodyguards and a small car to pick her up and drop her off, so there's no chance for her to get close to Qiu Ziyue.
Therefore, Master Hei decided to kill Qi Yuxuan.
Qiu Ziyue had almost no time to rest after the competition.
He then immediately began filming his new drama, "Awaken the Sleeping You".
Qi Yuxuan, as the male lead of the drama, also entered the intense filming rhythm.
Director An was on set every day to keep track of the progress and ensure that every scene was presented perfectly.
The first day of filming was scheduled in a park in the early morning, where Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan played a couple strolling in the morning light.
Despite having just finished the competition, Qiu Ziyue is still in top form.
She and Qi Yuxuan quickly developed a tacit understanding, as if they had been partners for many years.
The chemistry between the two was natural and smooth, which greatly pleased Director An.
Director An is known for his strictness and his pursuit of perfection in every detail.
He not only focuses on the actors' performances, but also on the coordination of the sets, props, and lighting.
During the filming of an indoor scene, Director An repeatedly adjusted the camera angles and lighting effects.
Until the ideal shot is found.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan also actively cooperated with the director's requirements.
We constantly try different performance styles in order to achieve the best results.
As filming progressed, the friendship between Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan, both on and off screen, grew stronger, and their collaboration became increasingly seamless.
They played a couple in the drama, and their romantic scenes were very touching.
During breaks in filming, they would discuss their understanding of the characters and acting techniques, and share interesting stories from their lives.
This positive interaction not only improved work efficiency but also made the atmosphere of the entire crew more harmonious.
One of the main scenes takes place in the hospital corridor.
The character played by Qiu Ziyue is heartbroken and stays by her boyfriend's bedside after learning that he (played by Qi Yuxuan) has fallen into a coma due to an accident.
This scene requires Qiu Ziyue to portray strong emotional fluctuations, from initial helplessness to later unwavering belief.
During filming, Qiu Ziyue was completely immersed in the role, and her tears were genuine and moving, touching everyone present.
Qi Yuxuan silently supported her from the side, conveying comfort and strength with his eyes.
Despite the tight filming schedule, Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan had an exceptionally pleasant collaboration.
They trusted and encouraged each other, overcoming one challenge after another together.
Qiu Ziyue stated:
"It was a pleasure to work with Yu Xuan. He is not only an excellent actor, but also a warm person. Our chemistry gives me confidence in this project."
