Chapter 55

The filming of "Dying to Survive" was more than halfway complete.

Today, they needed to shoot a scene in the hospital with Huang Chuanjun as the main character.

For this scene, Huang Chuanjun had stayed in the ward for two full days without closing his eyes.

When everyone saw Huang Chuanjun in the ward, he was so haggard that he was almost unrecognizable!

He perfectly portrayed the appearance of a patient whose illness had reached the bone marrow.

"Everyone's here?"

Huang Chuanjun drooped his eyelids and smiled weakly.

His lips were chapped, and his skin was pale!

Half of it was makeup, and half of it was real weakness.

Xu Zheng hurriedly unscrewed a bottle of water, wanting Huang Chuanjun to moisten his lips.

"Lao Huang, quickly have some!"

Huang Chuanjun turned his head away, opened his lips slightly and said, "No, if I drink it, it won't look right."

Look right?

Not like a real patient!

Huang Chuanjun had seen patients who had one foot in the grave.

So even though he was like this now, he still felt that he was far from enough.

"But you're too weak, aren't you?"

Everyone looked at Huang Chuanjun, feeling extremely distressed.

Huang Chuanjun勉强 smiled勉强: "If the doctor hadn't stopped me, I actually wanted to hold on for another day."

If he held on for another day, he would be more like those people…

Unfortunately, if he held on any longer, his physical functions would have problems.

"Ugh..."

Some of the actors couldn't help but cry.

They hadn't slept for three days and had only eaten one meal.

They were obviously so hungry that they were no longer human, but they were still thinking about insisting on another day for the sake of the movie's effect!

Such an actor's spirit deeply moved everyone present.

Lu Xuan walked to the bedside and tightly grasped Huang Chuanjun's hand.

"Do you still remember the lines?"

His eyes were a little red.

If all actors were like this, why would China's film and television industry not prosper!

Huang Chuanjun stared fixedly at Lu Xuan, at the man who had sublimated his entire film life, and nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, Director Lu."

Although he was so weak that he could barely lift his hand, Huang Chuanjun's eyes were particularly bright.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and patted his hand.

"I understand."

After standing up, Lu Xuan looked at the people around him.

"Attention all units, prepare to start shooting!"

Huang Chuanjun's two days of endurance were for the most perfect lens effect, and Lu Xuan would not let his efforts down.

Under Lu Xuan's direction, the crew members were precisely in place.

He arranged in great detail where each camera should be placed and how each angle should be adjusted!

After everything was ready, Lu Xuan nodded slightly towards Huang Chuanjun.

Then the clapperboard was raised.

Lu Xuan gave an order: "Action!"

All the lenses were aimed at Huang Chuanjun at this moment.

Three days of suffering, just to achieve these short ten seconds.

"Hiss—whoosh!"

Huang Chuanjun took a deep breath and gently closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, his eyes had completely changed!

He was in character in a second!

At this moment, lying on the hospital bed was no longer the actor Huang Chuanjun.

But Lü Shoyi, a cancer patient in the play who was fighting his final battle with the disease, but was willing to give up his own life for his wife and children!

…

Outside the door, Xiao QunQun and Xu Lan looked inside through the window.

"Mommy, what are they doing?"

"They're filming."

"Then why is that uncle sick, but he still has to film?"

"He's not sick, he's just acting."

"Wow! That's so awesome!"

Xiao QunQun's obsidian-like eyes lit up.

"I couldn't even tell that uncle was pretending!"

"Unlike Xiao Bai in our class, the teacher can always tell at a glance every time he pretends he didn't bring his homework!"

"Too stupid!"

After saying that, she sighed extremely cutely.

"You child."

Xu Lan smiled and touched her daughter's head, then turned to look at Lu Xuan in the director's seat, lost in thought.

She had been discharged from the hospital a week ago.

All aspects of her body had been maintained at a normal level.

And because she had rich experience in beauty makeup, she also found a job in an online celebrity makeup store.

In addition, Xiao QunQun had also started school, so overall, Xu Lan's life had returned to normal.

Moreover, she had been in contact with Lu Xuan during this time.

From time to time, she would bring Xiao QunQun to the crew to visit Lu Xuan.

Today, because Xiao QunQun was on vacation, Xu Lan brought her daughter over to watch.

Then, she saw this shot performed by Huang Chuanjun.

To be honest, Xu Lan was shocked!

Without knowing the inside story, anyone who saw Huang Chuanjun on the hospital bed would think that the other party was terminally ill and would not live long.

But the surrounding camera equipment clearly told Xu Lan that they were filming.

This patient was acting!

Xu Lan had never seen this kind of acting in her life.

Moreover, outside the ward, she could vaguely hear the actors' dialogue inside.

Those soul-testing remarks directly hit Xu Lan's heart.

Because she had experienced the pain of wanting to live but not being able to, and wanting to die but not being able to, she could truly understand how real the scene in the ward was!

"Teacher Lu is really making a good movie…"

Xu Lan looked at Lu Xuan in the director's seat through the window in a daze.

She had a feeling that the significance of this film might exceed the film itself.

"Mommy, I want to drink water."

"Okay, Mommy will take you to drink water, and we can wait for Uncle Lu over there, okay?"

"(๑‾ꇴ‾๑) Okay, okay~"

Inside the ward, filming continued.

Everyone, including Lu Xuan, held their breath and stared at Huang Chuanjun on the hospital bed.

Watching his acting explode, watching him recite his lines fluently.

Watching him bring the character 'Lü Shoyi' to life!

Until the last word fell, the lens recorded Huang Chuanjun's expression at this moment in its entirety.

That was a kind of nostalgia for life, reluctance for loved ones, and reluctance for death!

At a deeper level, it was the determination of the character Lü Shoyi to willingly die in order not to burden his family!

At this moment, everyone was moved by it.

"Cut!"

Lu Xuan shouted, his eyes red.

Everyone also looked at him with red eyes, and it wasn't until Lu Xuan said 'Pass' that everyone swarmed up.

"Lao Huang, you're awesome!"

"This acting is amazing, quickly drink some water!"

"Are you sleepy? Do you want to sleep first? Or eat something before sleeping?"

Everyone surrounded Huang Chuanjun, chattering.

After Lu Xuan announced that the shot was over, Huang Chuanjun closed his eyes and tried to extract himself from the role.

After getting too deep into the role, it becomes difficult for actors to return to their nature.

In more serious cases, they may not even recover for several months.

Seeing Huang Chuanjun in this state, everyone understood and fell silent, staying aside.

Lu Xuan and Li Hao gathered in front of the camera to check the playback just now.

"I really don't understand how you found this kind of actor."

Li Hao looked at Huang Chuanjun, who was bursting with acting skills in the lens, and marveled.

His acting skills are really unmatched!

He is dozens of times stronger than those pretentious first-line young actors!

Lu Xuan patted his chest and curled his lips, "Luck, luck."

"You're really something, Teacher Lu!"
