Chapter 1272: Chapter 1268 Too Deep into the Role
She dares to love and hate, faithful to herself. She has the courage to pursue her ambitions, daring to show her passionate beauty.
“Qiao, your performance was not bad just now. This time, Daniel is playing your first husband, so bear with him a bit more.”
Qiao Xiaren understood Badatu’s meaning clearly, which was to help Daniel get into character later on. In terms of acting, Daniel was still a novice.
“I understand, Director.”
“Very well, continue the next scene, action!”
The next scene being filmed was where Caroline decided to use her saved money to pursue her dream of becoming a star.
Tom played Caroline’s first husband, a retired soldier with a rigid mindset who could not comprehend Caroline’s so-called unreachable dream.
“Listen, Caroline, if you still want to be with me, you must stop your ridiculous ideas immediately!”
Caroline was still doing laundry, and hearing her husband’s authoritative words only strengthened her resolve.
“You have no right or authority to obstruct me. If we can’t continue, then let’s divorce.”
Tom was evidently stunned, not expecting his wife would rather divorce than give up on that distant dream. No wife would act against her husband like this because their whole being was centered around the man, and their worth was only reflected in him, as his appendage.
In this era, women were not valued.
But evidently, Caroline was different from other women; she had reached a moment of gradually awakening awareness.
“What did you say? Say it again!”
As a man, Tom was clearly infuriated by his wife’s attitude.
However, Caroline just looked at him, her gaze firm, filled with disgust yet also mixed with an indescribable soft emotion, like a knife cutting through the earth.
“I want a divorce. You, stay out of my world!”
From this moment, Caroline’s feelings were still somewhat complicated. On one hand, she had feelings for her husband, yet those feelings were not enough to satisfy her desire for her dreams and shining brightly.
“Cut.” After calling cut, Badatu allowed everyone to take a break.
Daniel was somewhat inexperienced, but overall still decent, at least he was starting to get into it.
Since the filming of the national idol movie was completed, Daniel had admired Qiao Xiaren, wanting to learn acting from her.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stepping out of the atmosphere of the scene and exchanging a few words with their agents or assistants.
Badatu walked over, teasingly saying to Qiao Xiaren, “Qiao, I finally understand your way of acting, seeing yourself entirely as the character in the play. This acting style is rare nowadays. I see that old-fashioned group at the Berlin Oscars call this method the immersive school, no wonder it caught their attention.”
In those judges’ minds, immersive acting was the highest realm of performance, because few people could completely become another, originally unrelated person, but Qiao Xiaren did it, dancing effortlessly among numerous roles.
“Young lady, in fact, this acting style is addictive yet also easy to become obsessed with.”
Badatu sat down, casually lighting a cigarette: “You should know the film’s heroine was based on a real person, right? She was a true superstar, but unfortunately, she died because she got too deep in character.”
“Died?”
Qiao Xiaren held the script, shifting her gaze away: “Didn’t she die from a heart attack?”
