Chapter 1218: Chapter 1209 Crisis (5)
This time, Jiang Bumei kept staring intently at Xia Siyu. If she messed up even a little, let’s see how she handles it!
Xia Siyu was still sitting in the same corner as before, but unlike the previous times when she had set up her posture to act, she was still laughing and joking. The makeup artist was touching up her makeup, and she complained, "Isn’t this eyeshadow color a bit too dark? It makes my face look a bit dirty. It’d look better lighter. But I do need a bit of lip color, I just had some milk pudding."
She turned her head to look at Wei Jingjing: "Hey, this place isn’t good, don’t order from here next time. That last place we had was good."
However you looked at her, she didn’t seem like someone who was taking filming seriously.
Director Ji coughed beside her and then shouted, "Are you ready?"
The makeup artist finished applying her lipstick, tidied up her hair and clothes again, and stepped back. Jiang Bumei watched coldly as Xia Siyu sat there, staring blankly at the mirror, not knowing what she was dazing out about. She thought to herself, she’s just pretty, who knows where her acting skills really are. Even the recent hit "Storm" became popular because it was the first time the audience saw Xia Siyu act in sexy clothes, but basically, it’s all about her looks and figure.
It’s been seven years since her debut; she started as a top idol, and it’s pretty much the same now. The spotlight has also been taken over by newcomers like Shang Feifei and Bo Yan. Although her brother is acting for the first time, what is she boasting about?
"All units, attention! 3, 2, 1, action!"
It was rare for Jiang Bumei not to pay attention to her own brother and instead watch Xia Siyu.
Going into the previous plot, the male lead and female lead had just separated, and on the table was a used band-aid. The female lead held the used band-aid, lost in thought, with a slight smile on her lips. In their previous encounter, the female lead accidentally scraped her hand, and the male lead had wrapped it for her. Being a drug dealer who grew up surrounded by guns and bullets, she didn’t care about tiny injuries and didn’t view herself as a woman. So any kindness from the male lead, she remembered it.
Hmm, Xia Siyu looked at it and smiled, nothing technically difficult, right? She was just laughing more happily a moment ago.
Then Jiang Jiahe came in and said his line. Jiang Bumei noticed the camera was shooting directly past Xia Siyu from the front; Xia Siyu was in a close-up, but because there was no focus, it was quite blurry, while her brother’s scene was a long shot aimed at his face. Although a bit distant, it was indeed hard to see clearly.
Then the camera zoomed back in, almost capturing her face directly.
Firstly, Xia Siyu is indeed very beautiful, with a face that looks flawless from every angle and particularly suitable for the big screen; even when the camera suddenly zooms back on her, it never seems jarring, and audiences naturally focus their attention on her face.
Furthermore, even with Jiang Bumei’s overly critical perspective, she could feel a change in the atmosphere.
Since her brother entered the scene, even with the intentional close-up blur, she could sense that Xia Siyu’s gaze had changed, her smile froze instantly on her face. After listening to her brother’s line, when the camera returned to her face, although Xia Siyu maintained the same posture and gaze direction, apart from retracting her smile, there wasn’t much change in her expression.
But you could just feel that her gaze had sharpened.
It was as if some fierce beast had emerged from within her.
