Chapter 516: Chapter 516

The shot moved again, focusing on He Jinxia’s face.

As the sun set, the warm orange sunlight bathed both figures, exposing Ola’s face in the light, while He Jinxia turned her back to the sun, her face shrouded in darkness.

The excellent camera perfectly captured this moment of light and shadow, and even the dark light on He Jinxia’s face was clearly layered; not even the black of the shadows could hide the dullness in her eyes.

She lifted Ola’s chin abruptly, her eyes suddenly fierce, and her voice coldly said, "From now on, stop following me. I don’t need friends, and I don’t want to befriends with you!"

No sooner had she spoken than she released her hand and turned to walk away without looking back.

Behind her, Ola stood dumbfounded, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

The area had somehow become completely silent, and even after the performance ended, the quiet atmosphere lingered for a long while.

Suddenly, at some moment, a crew member came to their senses and exclaimed, "Perfect!"

The other crew members also snapped out of it and began clapping to celebrate for them!

The director hadn’t called cut, which meant they had completed the scene in one take!

This scene was challenging, and many of the staff had prepared themselves for several days of continuous shooting.

Because the scene required the sunset for the perfect light and shadow effect, it couldn’t be shot at just any time.

They would have been happy just to complete the scene within three sunsets, but He Jinxia and Ola had managed it in just one try!

Director Wilson, wearing custom-made 3D glasses, watched the footage over and over again with serious attention, while those around him couldn’t help feeling tense.

Many thought the scene was a pass, and if the director decided to reshoot at the last minute, it would be a huge blow to everyone’s morale.

Fortunately, things developed for the better.

After watching for quite some time, Director Wilson couldn’t suppress a smile, and he said, "These two kids did well!"

The people around immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing a smile of genuine joy!

He Jinxia and Ola looked at each other and smiled as well.

They had rehearsed this challenging scene in their room the night before last, going over it several times until they felt ready for the next shot.

It was fair to say that both He Jinxia and Ola approached the scene with confidence, and their first-time success today was the result of their combined efforts.

Ola approached He Jinxia and without disguising her voice, she said cheerfully, "That felt great, you did a really good job. I hope we can keep it up and be just as smooth next time!"

He Jinxia’s eyes flickered slightly as she played along with her words, "You also did very well."

Ola’s eyebrows lifted as she said buoyantly, "While I may not be as skilled as you, I’m not far behind; otherwise, the director wouldn’t have chosen me as the lead after seeing my performance."

Pausing, she glanced around at the other actors with a smile and said, "If anyone still thinks my acting is poor, come and compete with me. I definitely won’t refuse."

Some faces changed slightly, but no one spoke up.

Having aced a difficult scene on her first try, Ola was in the spotlight—no one wanted to challenge her at this time; after all, no one was a fool. For more chapters visıt novęlfire.net

Seeing that she had achieved her intimidating objective, Ola took He Jinxia by the hand and the two left the set together to get dinner.

According to the continuity person’s schedule, the conflict scene between her and He Jinxia was the last scene of the day; now that it was finished, everyone was free to disperse.

He Jinxia found Ola, the little girl, quite agreeable, so she went along with her request to have dinner together.

After dinner, He Jinxia went to the dance studio to practice her dancing as usual.

"High School Musical" uses Ola’s growth trajectory as its main plotline, but that doesn’t mean Ola is the leading lady who carries the whole show. Strictly speaking, the dance sequences are the heart of the drama.

Currently, they were filming the dramatic scenes, progressing as expected. Once they finish these scenes this month, they’ll start filming the dance sequences next month.

It should be noted that the director allocated one month for filming the dramatic scenes and two months for the dance scenes, which shows just how important the dance sequences are.

There were still many dancers at the studio in the evening, and surprisingly, Ola was there too. After He Jinxia finished dinner with Ola, they went their separate ways, so she didn’t know where Ola had gone.

When she arrived, she saw Ola and Charles standing in front of a corner mirror, chatting and laughing while practicing their basics.

The other actors who came to practice were all standing on the other side, making a clear distinction from Ola and Charles, as if there was a line drawn between them.

The arrival of He Jinxia made Ola’s eyes light up, and she hurriedly waved her over.

Cheng Xiaohua turned away and muttered softly, "Why is she calling you over? To flaunt their affection in front of us?"

He Jinxia’s face broke into a standard smile, and she replied in a soft voice, "If anyone’s getting tormented, it’s you, not me. I’m not a singleton."

Cheng Xiaohua: "..." Why did she feel like Jinxia was becoming meaner?

What on earth happened yesterday? Ever since then, Jinxia’s remarks to her had gotten sharper and sharper.

What Sister Xiao Hua didn’t know was that He Jinxia had been wounded by her almost "lucky fish"-like good fortune.

Yesterday, she wasn’t mobbed by people or forced to flee for her life. She just stayed put, comfortably enjoying her snacks.

And just after they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Sister Xiao Hua’s seat number was drawn as the lucky seat on the spot. Not only was she given several large portions of delicious food, but she also received a VIP card at an 80% discount that the restaurant had never even issued.

They had plenty of food and a card, but before they had come to the BBQ restaurant, they had whimsically decided to buy lottery tickets, each purchasing one just an hour before the draw.

An hour later, the results were announced. Both she and Xie Jiahui didn’t win, but Cheng Xiaohua did!

A whole ten thousand in foreign currency! Though not a lot of money, she and the others were green with envy.

Sigh, walking alongside this human-shaped "lucky fish," she felt quite pressured...

He Jinxia walked over to Ola and had a brief chat with her and Charles before she stepped aside to practice her dance.

While practicing, Charles, for some reason, came to practice behind her, and Ola followed suit.

All three of them were skilled dancers. He Jinxia and Charles had been practicing this dance for a week, so their movements were very fluid.

While Ola was still not too familiar with the moves, her sense of rhythm was exceptional, and she was able to dance very well after only a few rounds of practice.

Their synchronized dance moves made for a beautiful scene in the entire dance studio.

Some actors continued to practice undisturbed, while others stopped and watched them with a hint of envy in their eyes.

Some people are just born with better conditions and a superior sense of rhythm. Give them an opportunity, and they can shine on the stage.

Without a doubt, He Jinxia and her group were such people.

As for them, they had to go through rigorous practice to achieve a decent stage presence.
