Zou Yi had already found a direction to work towards. He was determined to try his best to please Miss Jiang in the future. This way, his promotion and salary increase would be just around the corner.
Jiang An didn’t know what Zou Yi was thinking. Her thoughts were filled with the upcoming main scene.
At this time, Gan Lan would have already gotten to know the male lead in the script. She thought that she had found someone similar to her, and she no longer had the negative attitude she had when she first met him.
It was precisely because of her change that Xiao Lang was even more curious about what had happened to Gan Lan. Fang Rui had seen him chasing Gan Lan all the way.
Fang Rui felt that Gan Lan should not be with Xiao Lang. Then, the two of them had an intense argument. Fang Rui used the class argument of feudal society and said that Gan Lan, a poor person, should not have any dealings with the young masters of aristocratic families, as this would be mocked by others.
Gan Lan finally realized the difference between Fang Rui and herself. In this feudal society, she would always be an outcast.
Her long life had numbed her, but at this moment, she finally awakened.
She should not submit to this evil feudal society. So what if she compromised and lived to be a hundred years old? She would become a mindless puppet and be burned to death in the end.
“That’s just how things are. What can you do?” Fang Rui asked.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and it started to rain heavily outside the house. Ganlan pulled off the bun on her head and took off her heavy outer robe. Without looking back, she rushed into the rain to wash away the makeup that hid her face.
She also said the famous line in the script, “May the heavens, the earth, and the eternal moon bear witness. No matter where 1 am, 1 will still be me. I, Gan Lan, will never submit!”
These words were deeply imprinted in Fang Rui’s heart and became a seed that sprouted. It paved the way for the resistance of Fang Rui and the female protagonist.
The production team simulated a storm. Because Jiang An needed to undo her hair and wash off the makeup on her face, it was best for her to nail it in one take.
This was the main event that belonged to Jiang An alone. She hid at the side and emptied her mind. Then, she stuffed Gan Lan’s experience back into her head bit by bit, hypnotizing herself to be Gan Lan.
By the time she walked out, her entire aura had changed. She was like Gan Lan in the script, her limbs stiff as she tried to move forward, but her eyes seemed to burn with fire.
Jiang An used all her strength to rush out of the door and complete Gan Lan’s awakening in the heavy rain. Her eyes were filled with tears, but there was a smile on her face. She tore off the shackles and ran in the rain, feeling this rare freedom.
Then, under Fang Rui’s incredulous gaze, she looked up at the sky and said her lines. Every word she said was filled with blood and tears. Her voice was hoarse as if she wanted to shout it out to the heavens. That was her accusation of this world and her warning to herself that she should never forget who she was.
When Jiang An finished her scene, the entire production team fell silent. They did not even realize that she had finished acting.
Everyone was immersed in Jiang An’s performance just now. A small stage supervisor had already begun to cry. Without any editing or soundtrack, Jiang An had won them over with her acting skills.
Zou Bai quickly rushed over and wrapped Jiang An in a blanket. Only then did everyone realize that the act was over.
Gu Sheng then hurriedly called cut and asked someone to get a hot water bag and towel. Wang Zhen took them and used them on Jiang An to prevent her from falling sick from being drenched.
At this moment, everyone burst into enthusiastic applause for Jiang An. The videographer in charge of recording the highlights recorded all of this to be released when the television drama would be broadcasted.
Gu Sheng said excitedly, “Jiang An, your acting is too good. Only you can act out Gan Lan’s soul.”
“This is also because screenwriter Cao’s script is good,” Jiang An said humbly.
Gu Sheng shook his head. “No matter how good the script is, if an actor can’t do it, it’s useless. Only an actor like you can be considered a real actor.”
Today’s scenes were considered finished. Thinking about Jiang An’s health, Zou Bai quickly carried her to the car and said, “Zou Yi, quickly get the hotel to prepare ginger soup.”
“I won’t fall sick so easily.” Jiang An held his hand. “Do you think 1 acted well just now?”
Zou Bai was still busy tucking in the blanket and said, “Yes, you’re the best actress I’ve ever seen. This television drama will definitely win an award.”
“You’re coaxing me,” Jiang An said with a smile.
After the car started, Zou Bai asked, “Do you want to tell your family about us?”
Jiang An thought for a moment. “It’s better to wait for a while. 1’11 tell Mom after I finish filming. After all, the process is too complicated..”
