The Actress Queen's Rebirth: She's a Bigshot Loved by All Her Uncles!

Personally Killing

The director considered this for a long moment, then nodded. “You have a point. In that case, let the heroine arrange for the magistrate to be publicly beheaded. That would also be more dramatic.”

“No.” Lu Zhen shook her head with determination in her eyes. “No one else can do it. It has to be Qin Qing who kills the county magistrate herself.”

The director looked at her in shock. For a moment, he felt that Lu Zhen’s gaze was so sharp and terrifying, as if she was the real Qin Qing, the female general who killed people decisively on the battlefield.

“You—you’re sure?” The director licked his lips. “If we do as you say, then this scene will be very difficult to film.” But it will also be very exciting and very interesting!

The director was also a little excited. He felt that Lu Zhen’s suggestion was very good. After all, this scene was indeed too biased towards the male lead. After the male lead saved the damsel in distress, Qin Qing’s character seemed less dazzling and even a little boring.

However, if this scene mentioned by Lu Zhen was included, not only would there be a conflict in the drama, but the foreshadowing of the male lead saving the damsel in distress would also become the foreshadowing of Qin Qing’s growth and transformation. The plot would appear more reasonable, compact, and fascinating.

But… could Lu Zhenzhen really act this scene out well? She had to personally carry a knife and kill her enemy to avenge her subordinates.

The pace of this scene had to be very slow in order to provide sufficient room for the female lead to express her emotions. There also had to be a lot of change in camera positions and close-ups.

If there was even the slightest flaw in the Lu Zhen’s performance, this scene would be completely ruined. It might even be better not to film it.

Even though Lu Zhen was an experienced young actor, such a scene would be difficult to handle even for an old actor who had been in the industry for many years.

The director shook his head and sighed. “I understand what you’re saying, but it’s too risky. I’m not questioning your ability, but even I’m not sure I can shoot this scene well…”

Lu Zhen saw that the director didn’t reject her directly, so she felt confident. She smiled and looked at the director firmly. “Director, let me try. If I can do it, you can imagine how exciting this scene will be. It might even be the highlight of the entire show!”

The director didn’t believe Lu Zhen at first, but when he saw the confidence and tenacity in her eyes, he felt compelled. His emotions actually overcame his sense of reason. He felt a rare rush of passion.

“Good! Then we’ll give it a try!” The director looked at Lu Zhen and felt an inexplicable sense of trust in this young girl.

Maybe Lu Zhen was better than he’d thought. He’d thought she wasn’t so different from the mediocre actresses who starred in idol dramas and soap operas, but maybe he’d been wrong.

The director immediately contacted the screenwriter to discuss it and quickly took out the revised script. After showing it to the actors, they officially prepared to film this scene today.

In the morning, Lu Zhen finished filming a few martial arts scenes. In the afternoon, the makeup artist came to reapply her makeup. She watched the valiant female general in the mirror turn into a pale, weak, and injured person.

Bit by bit, the make-up artist drew her vivid and lifelike scars with the special paint. Then he took out a thin strip of white silk, looped it around Lu Zhen’s forehead, and tied it behind her head in a knot behind her ear.

This kind of white silk was only used in funerals in ancient times. Usually, after the death of a loved one, the funeral goers would wear white linen clothes and a white silk headband.

In the eyes of the female lead, Qin Qing, those dead soldiers were her family.

Once, when everyone had questioned a woman’s ability to lead troops into battle, it had been they who had trusted her without question, who had obeyed her every command.

They used to eat and drink together, sing by the campfire, tell each other how much they missed their families, and trust each other with their backs on the battlefield.

They weren’t family, but they were closer than that.

The makeup artist stood up and checked her makeup to make sure there was no problem. Then she asked Lu Zhen if she needed eye drops.

Although the makeup artist wasn’t incognizant about the script, she knew that the scenes that were to be filmed today would definitely be very sad. In the past, when actors filmed such scenes, they often needed to cry. Some actors couldn’t cry, so they needed eye drops.

Lu Zhen smiled at her politely and shook her head slowly. “No.”

After a while, someone came to call her. Lu Zhen stood up and walked into the set.

The filming crew had already confirmed the camera arrangements. With the shout of “action,” the staff quickly retreated behind the cameras. Those behind silently looked at the actors in front of the cameras.
