528 I Told You To Kneel

Jiang Xun stood up and heard the other party ask her to leave.

Jiang Xun’s gaze trembled for a moment, but then she became determined.

“Camera! Capture Jiang Xun’s face,” Mingguan said.

The cameraman gave Jiang Xun a close-up and clearly captured her determined and soft eyes.

!!

The corners of Jiang Xun’s mouth curled up imperceptibly, and her eyes were filled with warmth.

It was as if she was reluctant to leave this world, but also as if she was determined to face death.

In the dark cell, the warmth in Jiang Xun’s eyes was like a ray of light, making the dark place a little warmer.

Mingguan watched Jiang Xun’s performance speechlessly. Through the screen, he saw protection, righteousness, and great love for this country in Jiang Xun’s eyes!

He saw Niannian using her small body and thin shoulders to support such a great career.

Jiang Xun did not look at the person who brought her to the execution ground. She looked at the wall of the cell, but it was as if she was looking at the world through the wall.

It was filled with gentleness, hope, reluctance, and willingness.

Mingguan was lost in his thoughts.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of sobbing.

Mingguan’s attention was finally drawn back. He looked around and saw that many people were wiping their tears.

Mingguan blinked and found that his eyes were a little sore.

“Alright!” As soon as Mingguan opened his mouth, he suddenly realized that his voice was still a little choked.

He quickly shut his mouth and took a few deep breaths to adjust his emotions. After making sure that there were no problems, he spoke again, “You acted so well. You passed this one!”

Youlan was speechless.

Jiang Xun passed it in two takes?

Why?

Mingguan’s expectations of Jiang Xun were too low!

“Jiang Xun, how did you act so well in this one?” Mingguan couldn’t help but ask, “I almost forgot to stop you when I saw your performance just now. I think I really saw Luo Niannian through space and time.”

The others also perked up their ears to listen.

Jiang Xun’s acting had completely taken them in.

Even though there were so many people at the scene, and even though there were cameras and equipment, Jiang Xun’s performance made them ignore all these. Their eyes and attention were all focused on Jiang Xun’s face.

They forgot about their surroundings, the sounds around them, and the equipment and people around them that could make people feel like they were acting.

Jiang Xun said in her heart that it was because she had a similar experience!

She had also chosen to sacrifice herself for the sake of others.

But she couldn’t say it out loud, so Jiang Xun had to say, “I’m just putting myself in Luo Niannian’s shoes. When I was filming, I also went through her experiences and studied the experiences of many predecessors who had similar careers. I combined their stories and put myself in their shoes.”

Mingguan knew that although Jiang Xun made it sound easy, but she had actually spent a lot of time studying it. It couldn’t be expressed clearly in a few words.

How thoroughly did she have to study it to be able to put herself into the character’s experience, empathize with the character, and even completely be in touch with the character’s feelings and thoughts?

Mingguan nodded and patted Jiang Xun’s shoulder.

Not only was Jiang Xun talented, but she was also hardworking and dedicated to her work.

He did not need to say anything more about Jiang Xun’s efforts.

Jiang Xun’s efforts did not need anyone’s affirmation.

The affirmation of others was not worth mentioning compared to Jiang Xun’s efforts.

“Let’s take a break and prepare for the next scene.” The props team still needed to do the final preparations and do a thorough check for the next scene.

Mingguan took the photographer to discuss the shooting and camera positioning for the next scene.

After that, they waited for the props team to get ready.

Mingguan took the time to post a Weibo post and sighed. [Some people are really born to be actors. They don’t have a professional background and have no acting experience before they entered the industry. She is talented in acting, but she worked so hard to fully integrate herself into the role. To do this, she needed to prepare for the role with all her heart and soul. She really didn’t dare to think how long it would take her to fully integrate herself into the role. So what if she didn’t come from a specialized course? So what if she had little acting experience? With such talent and hard worrk, it’s hard not to succeed.]

[Who is the director talking about?]

[Actually, it’s already very obvious. The first clue is that she’s not a professional. The second is that she had no acting experience before she entered the industry. Third is that she is talented and hardworking. I can only think of Jiang Xun who fits these three points.]

[That’s right. Jiang Xun wasn’t a professional. When she first entered the industry, many people ridiculed her for not knowing anything and for wanting to be an actress to eat the cake of the entertainment industry without any acting experience. They mocked the low threshold for acting because even someone like Jiang Xun could enter. However, after a few shows, more and more people had to admit that Jiang Xun was very talented in acting. In order to prepare for the role of Luo Niannian, Jiang Xun had studied the history in detail, as well as the experiences and autobiographies of Luo Niannian’s colleagues at that time. She had put in a lot of effort for this role. This matches up with what Director Li said.]

[Director Li didn’t specify who it was. The Jiangfams don’t dare to claim it, in case Jiang Jiang gets criticized.]

[Our Jiang Jiang is just a small-time actress who has been working hard silently. Although Jiang Jiang has all these qualities, we are not shameless enough to claim that it’s her.]

At this time, the arrangements for the execution scene were completed. Mingguan put away his mobile phone. After posting on Weibo, he didn’t have time to care about the follow-up and was ready to shoot.

Jiang Xun’s feet were cuffed and she was dragging a heavy iron chain forward. There were onlookers on both sides.

They saw that Jiang Xun’s clothes were disheveled and she was covered in injuries. They could not see her face clearly.

She walked up to the execution platform step by step, barefooted.

“Kneel down!” One of them ordered.

Jiang Xun didn’t look at him. Her face was cold, and she didn’t even bend her knees.

The man snatched the whip from his subordinate and rushed over, whipping the ground.

But from the angle of the shot, it looked like it had hit Jiang Xun.

“I told you to kneel!”

…

Jiang Xun still did not say a word and refused to kneel.

The man kicked Jiang Xun’s knee in a fit of anger.

Jiang Xun’s right knee bent and she was forced to kneel on the ground.

But her left knee still firmly held on, only maintaining a half-kneeling position.

Jiang Xun struggled to stand up, but the two people behind her pinned her down.

Jiang Xun gritted her teeth tightly. With a muffled groan, she suddenly stood up. The two people who were pressing on her shoulders fell to the ground directly.

Everyone: “…”

Jiang Xun: “…”

Mingguan: “…”

“The two of you, be careful. Use a certain amount of strength without hurting Jiang Xun.” Mingguan thought that the two male extras were too weak and didn’t use much strength.

Extra A was speechless.

…

“Director…” Extra B had no choice but to speak carefully. “The two of us used a lot of strength, but we might not be as strong as Teacher Jiang.”
