Come With Me novel Chapter 78

I thought these practices on the actor's lines I'd done would be useful. But I didn't know what a substitute meant at all.

I almost didn't need lines, and I didn't need to show my face either. I had only a few scenes with my opponent.

This was my job, but somehow I felt a little lost.

For the sake of the effect, I put on the old cotton padded jacket and cotton pants. I was not fat but I also looked a little bit bloated. The makeup artist had also made two long braids for me.

I didn't have much work in the daytime as I thought. It was almost filming the lines of other actors.

After dinner, at dusk, the director told me to shoot a scene of me.

That scene was on a rainy night. The heroine knew that the hero had left the village, ran after him and wanted to say goodbye to him.

The director gave me a general explanation of the play, and emphasized that some emotion should be revealed. When others were making preparations, the director asked me to think it over.

I tried to imagine the feelings of the heroine at that time and imagine that scene. When everyone was almost ready, I ran quickly around the place.

This scene did not plan to shoot the male lead's part, but all of us lived in the village, and it was not sleeping time. Many people came out to watch, and Daniel was no exception. But when he saw me running like a spinning top, he couldn't help asking, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I think it's better for me to run all the way for my sweat and breath."

I said, but I didn't stop.

"Don't get yourself exhausted. It's hard to be succeed once for such scene." Daniel warned me.

"Actors in position."

With that, I stood within the range of shooting. The director called to start and meanwhile the equipment used to imitate the rain was turned on. I panted into the rain, taking my biggest steps and running desperately along the road.

The water got my clothes wet very quickly. Even though it was a cotton-padded jacket, I used up my voice and called out the simple words according to the script. I repeated the name, "Arthur --"

I fell in the rain and then stood up. It was really hurt after I fell for several times.

I only knew I had to act in this play, but I never practiced trip. The pain and rain eroded my body, making me difficult to stand up and then fall again and again, feeling disappointed and desperate.

I didn't know how long it had been shot. I only knew that I was completely in the scene at that time and turned a deaf ear to everything outside.

Until the director called "cut" and the rain on my head also stopped, I was still in the great joy and sorrow in the play, with tears falling.

"Here we go."

This is the first sentence I heard when I came to my senses.

I was stunned and looked at the staff who was cleaning up the equipment behind me. I asked confusedly, "Are we done? Is that all right? Do I need to act it again?"

"Don't be silly. Don't you know what 'here we go' means? Didn't you see the look on director Max's face?"

I looked at the Daniel besides me and made a look on Max far away, and asked, "He didn't look good. Is he disappointed with my performance?"

Shaking his head, Daniel mocked, "If he is really disappointed, he will say bad words to you but not let you end your work. I saw him crying just now."

"Did he cry?"

I stared at Daniel in amazement. But he put his hands in his pockets and walked away.

I was left behind alone.

Annie Gu took off her coat and put it on me. She wrapped me with her arms to warm me up, "Come on, go with me. You should get warmed with me quickly. Don't get a cold later."
