A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 457

"When the male lead comes to your house, you think he is a guest. You are very curious about his identity. He is a gentleman with graceful manners, while your fiancé has no courtesy. In comparison, you develop a nice feeling for the man in front of you, dreaming of marrying him. That is called 'a young girl in love', understand?"

His words are easy to understand. Lily finally understands.

Oh well.

When she is on her way here, she goes through the script for a long time, thinking it should be easy to act since she only has few lines. She doesn't expect that playing a character with few lines is actually tricky.

The director tells the two of them where they stand and the time to change their position.

As soon as he finishes, he hurries Lily to the set and runs back behind the camera.

The director's camera focuses on Lily.

Then the camera advances for a close view of Lily face. The director frowns at her round cheeks, "Ms. Lily, please eat less in the next few days. Your face looks a little chubby - not good for cameras."

Lily is embarrassed.

She has indeed gained a lot of weight recently, but the nutrients are all absorbed by the babies. She knows she has extra fat on her belly and thighs, but her pretty face?

Lily asks in a low voice, "Do I have a chubby face in the camera?"

"A fat face." The director nods and says straightforwardly, "your face looks like a scone, hot from the oven."

"..." Lily can't help but defend herself, "I'm just a little fat - I weigh only 114 pounds."

"And you call yourself "just a little fat". Actresses as tall as you weigh no more than 92 pounds."

"..."

Just as Lily is about to fall apart, Louis says in an indifferent tone, "An actress who weighs 92 pounds will look fat if you take close-up shots of her face. Ms. Lily is not a professional actress, so there is no need to be harsh on her. Characters are not that important in a short film that promotes perfume. Just focus on her side face and eyes."

Lily hurriedly says, "Sounds great! I'm nervous when facing the camera."

The director thinks for a moment and reluctantly nods, "Alright, let's try the side face first. If it still doesn't work, Ms. Lily, you have to go on a diet - in case the cheongsam no longer fits."

Cheongsam?

Lily suddenly remembers that after the filming here, they have to go to the City L's Film and Television City for another shooting set in the 1900s.

She has to wear a cheongsam, no, two!

People can tell she is pregnant if she put on a cheongsam.

What should she do?

Lily is thinking nonsense. The director whispers to her, "Ms. Lily, please get ready."

Lily has no choice but to stay calm and be ready for the shooting.

Although Lily and Louis are new to the business, the director daren't yell at them as he does to the unknown actors or actresses. Instead, he gives his instructions with a soft and patient voice throughout the process.

It is Lily's first shooting. She finds it very hard though the staffs on set give her a lot of guidance.

After tens of bloopers, she gradually gets on track.

The shooting lasts from day to evening.

The director says only tens of seconds of the countless clips are up to standard. Then he tells everyone to pack up and go now. Tomorrow morning, the actors and actress will change clothes and continue the shooting.

Lily has been listening to the director's instruction all day. She is exhausted since she doesn't take any rest today.

On the way back, she falls asleep, leaning on the shoulder of the scriptwriter.

After arriving at the homestay family, the scriptwriter pats Lily on the shoulder, trying to wake her for a long time. "What should I do now? I can't wake up Ms. Lily. Should I leave her to sleep here?"

"There is no ventilation in the car," Louis walks over with a gloomy expression on his face, "I'll send her back."

The scriptwriter instantly gets out of the car.
