524 Chapter 524 thin hair
In order to save time, the three makeup artists colored Jiang SE’s body. Then, they melted the paint on the surface with a low-temperature flame to make her look more natural and shiny.
More than two hours later, Jiang se appeared before chessaray in Lannie’s clothes. She was wearing thin and tattered clothes. Her long hair draped around her body. Her face was pale, and her lips were pursed tightly. Her large, clear eyes were particularly distinct on her palm-sized face. In her eyes, one could see the light and shadow wavering as her pupils trembled. She felt a little uneasy, as if she had a premonition that something terrifying was about to happen. She was a little timid. However, she had complete trust in Andre, like a newborn bird, weak and helpless.
When she tried to raise her head to look at the people in front of her, she was so afraid and weak that she didn’t even dare to raise her eyes completely. She only dared to look at the legs of everyone on the set with her eyes half-open.
When chessaray saw Jiang SE’s performance, he felt as if his heart had been struck. The feeling of being truly involved in ” the prisoner ” and being able to witness the story was very real. It was so real that his scalp tightened and his legs twitched. He could not help but lean forward in an attempt to see the expression on her face more clearly so that he could better figure out her current state of mind.
He had a premonition that Jiang SE’s performance had not been reserved for the actual scene of her being sacrificed. Instead, she had already entered the state.
Her face trembled. When she was uneasy but forced to remain calm, every one of her observations and sizing up the surrounding environment had a kind of carefulness that made one feel bitter.
This was the real Lannie!
Chessaray sighed in his heart. This should be the Lannie in ” the prisoner ” who had the purest and most flawless heart, but was called a heretic by Andre and sacrificed her in exchange for eternal life.
No matter how much effort Laura put in earlier, when Jiang se stood in front of chessaray, he could not deny that this girl was the only one who could be called ‘salvation’.
He glanced at Laura, who was watching coldly from a distance with a disdainful expression. Then, he looked at Jiang se, who was cowering in front of him. When there was no comparison, he could still make up for his lack of acting skills with his superb acting skills. However, when ‘Lannie’ appeared, all his acting skills became imitations.
It was just as Jiang se had said. She really liked ” the prisoner “. That was why she could grasp the opportunity when it came. While she accepted the role of Shireen, she had also been preparing for Lannie and pondering over her character.
She had read the book several times and had a deep understanding of the character. When it came to figuring out Lannie’s character and psychology, she was much better than Laura, who only took the script and memorized the lines. So when the opportunity came, she firmly grasped it.
At this point, chessaray would be lying to himself if he still could not understand what Jiang se meant.
Back then, when Jiang se had asked him for a chance, he had stuck on the role of Shireen and did not give her a choice.
However, this smart and Ambitious Girl had used this opportunity to prove to him that she could do it.
Even though he knew what was on Jiang SE’s mind, it was difficult for chessaray to dislike her. She had used her courage to fight for an opportunity like this. He had no reason to interrupt her.
The pyrotechnician was still communicating with her in a soft voice, trying to comfort her, but he didn’t know that the girl in front of him was already immersed in the audition.
In such a situation, Cesare couldn’t think of any reason to disrespect her. He gestured at the beginning and shouted, ”
“Get ready,” he said.
When he said that, the crew members thought that the ‘preparations’ chessaray meant was to prepare for the next shoot. However, Jiang se was the only one who understood what he was implying.
She held back the gratitude in her heart and walked toward Andre with small steps. She didn’t need to look up to know where Andre was, as if he was her salvation and home.
“Lord Andre.”
She could still remember the night when the town had fallen. The demons from hell were wreaking havoc in the human world. She had hidden in a corner, and it was Andre who had appeared to save her. He had extended his hand to her and pulled her out of the abyss, and she had been cursed by the demons.
Lannie used to doubt the existence of God, but now Andre’s appearance made her think of him as a Savior.
She was too naive and trusted Andre too much. So when Andre brought her to the altar, she blinked her innocent eyes and stood there obediently, not knowing what to do.
The church had controlled the Empire for many years, and the people of the Empire had originally believed in the existence of God without a doubt.
However, when the prophecy of the demon’s appearance rang out across the land one day, and God’s warning never appeared, the people began to doubt the authority of the Church.
In order to prevent all of this from happening, Andre decided to recite the incantation in front of the people, so that they could see the arrival of God and the occurrence of miracles.
Donald had already changed into his costume and was waiting with a thick down coat on the outside. He didn’t look like he was ready to get into character.
He looked at Jiang se who was walking toward him. He lowered his eyes and fiddled with the pair of gloves in his hands.
Under the confused gazes of the staff around him, chessaray stood to the side with a smile and did not say anything.
Jiang se had already convinced him to give her a chance to audition for Lannie. However, no one was sure if she had managed to convince Donald to put on this show with her.
Jiang SE’s ambition was too great. It involved the female lead, Lannie. Other than the pressure she had to face to convince chessaray and the investors with her acting skills and abilities, there was also the biggest challenge she had to overcome-Donald.
He was the male lead of this film. Unlike the female lead, Laura, who had to find people from Borgia’s side through her agency, Donald had a godlike status among the Italy actors. His acting skills were superb, and he had a huge fan base around the world.
In addition to Chesare using his personal friendship as a Commission for the shooting of ” God’s salvation, ” the people from their investment companies had also communicated with him and convinced him to act in the film.
The situation before them was already very clear. Jiang SE’s ambition was probably obvious to anyone who was smart. Donald should also be aware of it.
The contract he had signed with the production team was there, and his scenes had already been filmed for more than a month. If the production team had the intention to replace the female lead, not only would his filming time be extended, but all the scenes he had filmed before would also need to be reshuffled and filmed again.
He had to endure the pain he had suffered before, and the preparations he had made earlier had turned into bubbles.
As a heavyweight male star, if he was unwilling to go through the trouble and cooperate with Jiang se in this show, Jiang SE’s plan tonight would only end up as a farce even if she managed to convince Chesare.
Chessaray’s gaze fell on his sleeve, but he was looking at Donald out of the corner of his eye, waiting for his reaction.
Jiang se lowered her head and stood with her hands by her side.
After a long while, Donald smiled and took off his down coat, handing it to his assistant.
The assistant’s eyes were filled with surprise and confusion. He took the coat from her. The filming for Donald’s part had officially started. It was the moment when Jiang se was put on the gallows and the fire started burning.
However, Jiang se was not ready yet. In fact, the camera was not even focused on the two of them. Yet, Donald seemed to have already entered his shooting mode. This puzzled the assistant.
“My dear child.”
He had a kind look on his face, and this kind of kindness had even convinced himself that his eyes were filled with compassion. However, for some reason, it made people feel cold.
The moment the thick down jacket was taken off, the smiling Donald’s expression changed. His smile was no longer as cold and distant as before. Instead, it had a meaningful look.
The bishop’s robe seemed a little empty on his thin but extremely tall body.
Two strands of hair fell on his forehead. He squinted his eyes, and this action made the corners of his eyes form wrinkles, blocking the indecipherable expression in his eyes.
His back was hunched as if he couldn’t walk. It was hard for him to walk and talk. He tried to raise his hand as if he was trying to touch Lannie’s head. As soon as he reached out, he seemed to find something wrong and silently retracted his hand.
All of these actions caused him to instantly enter the state of Andre from Donald.
There were still many people in the crew who did not understand Donald’s actions. Like his assistant, many of them did not understand why Donald had gotten into character so quickly. However, Jiang se, who had been following beside him with a gentle and nervous expression, finally felt relieved.
Naturally, Jiang se could also think of the problem that chessaray could.
She had interacted with chessaray a few times before, and he had a good impression of her. Hence, she had taken a risk for this audition, and chessaray had acquiesced in the end. However, Jiang se did not expect Donald to be willing to give her a chance.
This was not an official audition. Jiang se was only supposed to be Laura’s substitute.
At this time, she had not been officially pushed onto the gallows. He was willing to act with her, and he did not need to take off his coat.
However, after Donald understood her intentions, he not only gave her a chance, but also carefully took off his coat and rehearsed with her in his thin Bishop’s robe.
At that moment, Jiang se resisted the dizziness caused by her rapid heartbeat. She raised her head as well. Her eyes were slightly moist.
Under the light, she was like a frightened deer after being chased by a Hunter. Her lips were already deeply bitten by her, and her eyelashes were trembling because of her nervousness.
She had actually applied some protective oil on her face, but it did not affect her expression at all.
Everything was ready. Jiang se slowly walked up the stairs set up by the crew toward the place where ‘Lannie’ was being executed. Behind her was a large green curtain. She was wearing the dress that Laura had worn that day. She walked to the place where Laura had once walked to put on a show that she had once acted in.
Laura had already finished filming the scene before Lannie was hung on the gallows. However, when Donald reappeared with Jiang se, chessaray did not stop him.
Jack, who was watching from a distance, felt that something was even more wrong. This Chinese girl’s performance didn’t seem like a substitute. Instead, it seemed like she was already acting her own role.
Especially with Chesare’s tacit approval and Donald’s cooperation, Jack had a bad feeling.
In this scene, Laura would not only lose a special scene, but also many other things.
He made a prompt decision. He stood up, picked up his phone, and made a call. He felt that he should stop this show from playing out and not let this Chinese girl continue.
Jiang se had already finished rehearsing with Donald. She had already been sent to the gallows and finished acting a part that was not meant for her.
The camera had been turned on at some point and was pointed in the direction of the torture rack. The girl had been tied up and the extras were ready. With the director’s order, the shooting of the next scene would begin.
my dear child, you have the purest soul in the world. You’re willing to sacrifice yourself for the gods and to sweep away the filth in this world. Andre paused for a moment when he said this. He looked up and smiled at Jiang se.
“You’re the best.”
There was a hidden meaning in his words. Jiang se subconsciously looked up at him. After she found out that she would be Lola’s substitute for this scene, Jiang se had already memorized the script for this scene just in case.
The last line was not included in Andre’s lines. It was unknown if it was Donald’s praise for her or if the Italy National treasure actor had added his lines at the last minute.
He had already turned his head away, raising his arms and shouting at the ‘people’ surrounding him below. He suppressed the extreme excitement in his heart, and his voice was a little hoarse because of the excitement and strength he used,
“Do you want to witness a miracle with your own eyes?”
At this moment, Andre’s body was slanted, as if his body was somewhat out of his control.
However, the fanatical look on his face allowed every believer in front of him to clearly see that the thin and tall body of the Bishop, who had saved a remote town that was on the verge of hell overnight due to the blessing of God, was swaying on the high ‘altar’. Behind him was a’ cliff’, and the wind seemed to be blowing his paper-like body.
His eyes, tone, and expression infected everyone. At this time, Donald was no longer the gentle, introverted, and taciturn Italian male star. Appearing in front of everyone was a man who seemed to be waiting for the dawn to arrive and had already been controlled by desire-Bishop Andre, no, the Supreme Pope!
The crew on the set seemed to be affected as well. They felt an inexplicable surge of emotions, and everyone once again witnessed the famous Donald’s acting.
He had cooperated with Laura in this scene before, but for some reason, the appeal was not as strong as it was now.
The wind was still blowing, and the girl on the torture rack was swaying. It was unknown whether it was because of the wind or the fear in her heart, but she kept swaying.
Andre’s roar resounded in every corner of the set and entered the ears of everyone on the set.
In front of the camera, Cesare watched the scene intently and held his breath.
Donald’s acting skills were superb, but no matter how good his acting was, he still needed a qualified ‘background’ to form a special charm that could move people’s hearts.
