Chapter 683: Bearing The Burden
Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
Chen Xingyan didn't understand, nor did she want to understand . She simply got out of bed, tidied up a little and returned to the set . She couldn't leave!
Seeing the staff were busy setting up, she hurried over to help, "Let me do it, I'm strong . . . "
"Ms . Chen, if I'm correct, you have already been replaced by the director," the lighting designer said as he stared at Chen Xingyan . "It's best if you go home . Don't waste your time here . "
Chen Xingyan did not admit defeat as she went to pester someone else . However, in just one night, everyone's attitude towards her had changed .
More importantly, when the director finally appeared on set, he treated her like she did not exist . He didn't even glance at her once .
Chen Xingyan had never been humiliated in such a way .
But, knowing that it was her own fault, she could only take a deep breath and blink back her tears .
"Director, please take me back . I will do well this time . "
"Take you back? It wasn't easy for me to convince An Zihao into getting rid of you . You think I'd take you back?" the director laughed . His laugh felt extra sarcastic, "I previously gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it . You fooled around all day, disregarded everyone, and still considered being a stunt double your main goal . So, you can go do what you want now, no one is going to hold you back . "
Chen Xingyan endured the director's humiliation and desperately held back her tears . After a few moments, she finally said, "I can help out on set for free . . . "
After hearing this, the director eyed Chen Xingyan from top to bottom, "In the end, you're indeed only good for menial jobs . Do as you please, just don't appear in front of me . "
Chen Xingyan felt a spark of hope as she immediately recovered her energy and began helping out on set .
From a distance, Lin Sheng spotted the busy Chen Xingyan; a smile subconsciously appeared on his face, "If she's smart enough, she will know how to turn the tables . "
"Yes, she should study your acting in detail," Lin Sheng's assistant laughed .
Even in the past, Tangning had studied plenty of Lin Sheng's notes and gained a lot of insight .
He was, after all, the winner of three Best Actor Awards . In terms of acting, he was on par with actors like Bei Chendong and was highly experienced .
"Let's go, it's time to start . "
In reality, this was exactly what Chen Xingyan had planned . She was going to watch Lin Sheng act while she helped out .
As she watched the way that Lin Sheng expressed himself with ease and fluidity, she finally experienced the shock of acting .
Sometimes, Lin Sheng would even ask the director if he could demonstrate some of the other roles . The director allowed him because he was curious how Lin Sheng would portray them . However, only Lin Sheng's assistant knew that his motive was to show Chen Xingyan how each role should be expressed .
Night hit . After a long day of work, An Zihao returned to find that Chen Xingyan was nowhere to be seen . So, in the middle of the night, he gave her a phone call, "Why haven't you returned?"
Chen Xingyan was standing beside the lake where she had filmed the night before . Inside, she really wanted to overcome her fear, but she still lacked a bit of courage .
"I am helping out on set," Chen Xingyan replied . "I need to make money so I can pay you back . "
"OK . Since you don't have anything else to do, staying there will at least cure your boredom," An Zihao's words were cold but polite . It made Chen Xingyan uncomfortable .
This seemed to be a response of disappointment .
"An Zihao . . . "
"Speak!"
"Don't worry, it's nothing," Chen Xingyan wanted to know if An Zihao found her annoying . But, she couldn't get herself to ask .
Ever since she was a child, everyone listened to her and she was used to it . So, she always did things independently and never understood how to work in a team . Worst of all, she always felt that as long as she was happy, it didn't matter if others weren't . But, she never knew that a person like An Zihao existed in this world .
She liked her independent self, but . . .
At this point, Chen Xingyan stopped herself from thinking any further . She suddenly placed her phone aside and jumped straight into the water .
At this point, Chen Xingyan stopped herself from thinking any further . She suddenly placed her phone aside and jumped straight into the water .
She then did what she had read online and tried her best to stand calmly in the water . Slowly, she managed to do it . In the end, she spent the entire night, jumping into the water and walking back to shore until her hands were white and shriveled .
The next morning, as soon as Chen Xingyan saw the director, she ran over and stopped him, "Director, I'm not afraid of water anymore . We can continue filming . "
But, the director scanned his eyes across her and said, "Just because you were afraid of water, was I supposed to allocate extra time for you to practice . Next time, if you're afraid of the mountain, should I flatten it for you? Either way, this is the least of our matters . What about acting? Can you even act?"
Chen Xingyan didn't know how to respond but she endured it as usual . At least, she had already overcome her worst obstacle .
Although the director was yelling at her, he had already made a lot of exceptions . Normally, when filming, the set would always be cleared . Yet, he allowed her to appear on set .
As usual, Lin Sheng liked playing some of the other roles . After a couple times, Chen Xingyan slowly understood his motive . So, she began to take notes .
Seeing her take notes whenever she had time, the director sneered .
The assistant director glanced at Chen Xingyan and chuckled, "She's quite persistent . After the way that you yelled at her, she still hasn't left . "
"If she left just like that, An Zihao would really need to hang himself," the director replied disdainfully . "Even though she appears serious, her acting may not necessarily improve . We still need to wait and see . "
As a result, Chen Xingyan was extremely busy on set . On one side, she needed to improve her relationship with the crew, on the other, she needed to study Lin Sheng's acting . At night, she would practice, and during the day, she did all kinds of manual labor . However, this type of training seemed to be quite effective .
Even though the director still refused to let her act .
Even though the director still refused to let her act .
Soon, a new female lead appeared on set . Chen Xingyan felt like she had failed . She had put in so much work, yet the director was not moved by her efforts .
"Xingyan, the new female lead has arrived . You should go home now," the staff were afraid that she'd get hurt, so they kindly tried to persuade her . "It's already been finalized . You can't change anything . "
Chen Xingyan was upset, but . . .
. . . she continued to persist, "It's fine . Didn't you say that the lamp was too heavy? Let me move it for you . "
"But, this is really cruel for you . "
No matter how cruel things were, it was because she did not try hard enough!
She couldn't blame anyone .
Chen Xingyan wanted to call Tangning to vent and to ask for her advice . But, Tangning was about to give birth . She didn't want to cause trouble for others .
They found a new female lead, huh?
Then, she would need to first see how strong her competition was .
