Chapter 1543 She Cried
At this point, one of the crew members called out, “Jessie, it’s your turn.” Jessie quickly stood up and went to film her scene. Julian, too, stood up with her. Though he did not have any scenes with her yet, he wanted to watch all of her scenes.
The current scene Jessie was filming was with Fabian. Furthermore, it was a scene in which Jessie had to hug Fabian from behind and confess her love to him.
Fabian had previously conversed and joked with Jessie, but he did not dare to do so now. However, the current scene was not something they could avoid.
Following the director, Vincent’s, instruction, Jessie dashed to Fabian and hugged his waist as she spoke her lines. “Don’t leave me. I’ve loved you since the first time I met you. I want to be by your side forever, even if only as a servant to you.”
“Cut!” Vincent stopped her at this moment. “Jessie, you need to be more emotional. Your acting is lacking something.”
Jessie breathed deeply and took a few steps backward to where she had been standing earlier. One of the crew members beside her began explaining the story to her while she tried hard to prepare the necessary emotion.
“If you can’t cry, think of something that makes you sad, Jessie.”
She blinked her eyes in response. There hasn’t been anything that has made me sad recently!
As a result, she failed her next attempt again. The man standing by the side pursed his lips as he watched her hugging Fabian repeatedly.
He then walked to Vincent. Just as Vincent was about to instruct Jessie to try a few more times, he saw the man standing next to him and almost jumped in shock.
“Why can’t all of the previous attempts be used?” Julian inquired with his arms crossed as if interrogating Vincent.
Meanwhile, Vincent was immediately under pressure. Who allowed this guy to watch our filming?
As such, he quickly waved his hand and said, “We probably only need one more try.”
Jessie, too, saw what Julian did and sighed. She wished she could do the scene in one take as well, but she couldn’t get the right emotion out of herself. Her confession, in particular, was unnatural.
She tried once again, but she still couldn’t perform up to Vincent’s expectations.
Looking at the man beside him who was becoming increasingly glum, Vincent had a brilliant idea. “Why don’t you try filling in for Fabian, Young Master Julian? Let Jessie hug you and try once more.”
Julian raised his brows in response to such a suggestion. “Let’s do it.”
With that, Fabian immediately removed his coat and handed it to Julian, and the crew then put it on the latter. As the current scene’s focus was solely on Jessie, Julian would not be filmed and could completely play along for the entire scene.
Jessie, on the other hand, was embarrassed by such a change in the cast as she had to hug Julian and confess to him with her eyes filled with admiration.
“Let’s try again, Jessie,” Vincent instructed.
Jessie quickly prepared herself and dashed to hug Julian’s waist. Indeed, the moment she hugged him was when she was overwhelmed with emotion. She was considering the possibility that the man whom she was hugging would fall in love with another woman.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she reflected on this thought. “This is the right feeling, Jessie,” Vincent said as he looked through the camera at her. “Keep it up and start your lines.”
Jessie then recited her lines completely, and she even sobbed at times. This was exactly what Vincent wanted.
“Great. We’re done with this scene now.”
Before Jessie could stop her tears, Julian turned around to look at her. She wiped her tears away in a fluster, embarrassed by her inability to control her emotions.
“What sad thoughts did you have?” Julian went closer to her and inquired.
Jessie, however, was too embarrassed to tell him what she thought. Hence, she replied patronizingly, “It’s just a small unpleasant thing.”
Julian got more curious after hearing her words. “What is the unpleasant thing?”
Seeing that he persisted, she asked solemnly, “Do you really want to know?”
“Yes.” Julian knew she must be genuinely upset for her tears to fall when she thought about the situation.
And so, Jessie murmured, “Come closer, then.”
