She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"All departments, prepare, Action!"

At the command from the script supervisor, the characters on the set began to move.

This was a hotel room with no sunlight. The lighting was dim and the furnishings were shabby. There was an open suitcase on the floor, filled with some clothes, crammed into a mess, which was not at all aesthetically pleasing.

The owner of the box obviously realized this, but she did not choose to pack her clothes immediately. Instead, she stood there in silence for a while, then picked up her phone and called her boyfriend.

"Jimmy, I finally found you!" Charlotte eagerly put the receiver close to her ear and quickened her pace to the balcony. "How are you? We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Well... everything is fine here."

The other end of the phone seemed to say something, and Charlotte slowly walked back to the house from the balcony and sat down on the sofa. Her face was twisted in pain - she looked like she wanted to burst into tears, but she had to control herself desperately and tried her best to maintain a normal tone.

"Yeah, Jimmy, I'm out of town now... I'm in big trouble." The woman's hair was still dripping with water, and she looked extremely lost. "You can't imagine how big my trouble is."

Having said this, she suddenly stopped - this was Charlotte's habit after working alone in a foreign country for many years as an orphan, always being wary of everything and everyone.

At least at this moment, she was unwilling to expose the fact that she had committed a crime in front of Jimmy.

After all, no one knows whether he can really keep it secret.

Now Charlotte trusted no one except herself and Evelyn.

"Listen, Jimmy, I have some savings in the bank, but I can't get the money out. Can you lend me $6000? I'll pay you back later."

"Yes, something bad happened... I can't tell you over the phone, but it's terrible... Will you help me?" Her attitude was decisive and straightforward, as if the vulnerability she had just revealed was just an illusion of others, and now she was the real her who was commanding her boyfriend in an orderly manner. "Jimmy, do you still love me?"

Charlotte was undoubtedly a smart woman. In order to prevent her boyfriend from asking her questions endlessly, she took the initiative to divert his attention with another topic.

After receiving a positive reply from the other side, Charlotte smiled and raised her voice, "Then let this matter go to hell."

"Just wire the money to Oklahoma for me, and we'll be there soon..."

After the conversation ended, Charlotte put down her phone and stood up from the sofa. Her melancholy expression was completely gone, her eyes became bright again, and even her movements of packing her luggage became much more efficient than before.

"Cut! Good!" With the director's shout, the entire set instantly came alive again. Su Lingxi walked out of the built room set and once again returned to reality from Charlotte's world.

"These shots all performed very well." Li Shuo stared at the playback on the monitor, his cheeks slightly flushed with excitement, "I think this one is enough for us to edit."

Su Lingxi also came to the monitor at this time and asked with concern: "How does the silent scene at the beginning look in the camera? Does it need to be changed?"

"Of course not." Carly interjected at the right time. Compared with Li Shuo, her emotions were obviously more outgoing, and her excitement was beyond words. "The performance of that scene was simply wonderful, showing a different side of Charlotte - I think it just perfected the character image, avoiding the flatness of the character setting, and at the same time expressing the script vividly."

As a producer and screenwriter, her words were undoubtedly persuasive, and even Sigourney, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but smile, "Wow, Nicole, it seems that someone has been completely conquered by your acting skills~"

Perhaps because it was an adventure movie, the atmosphere on the set was quite good. Carly certainly didn't put on airs as a producer. She smiled and responded to Sigourney's teasing: "I have to admit that I underestimated Nicole's ability before. Her performance in the scene just now amazed me. I am sure and certain that you are right. She is a real acting talent."

Carly's praise was sincere. Even though Su Lingxi was used to hearing flattery, she couldn't help but feel touched at this moment.

After completing this shot, the morning schedule was over. Su Lingxi did not call the assistant, but chose to go to the cafeteria with Sigourney to have lunch: after spending time together in the crew for this period of time, her relationship with Sigourney has developed into friends who appreciate each other, especially during the filming, the feelings between the characters were like a booster, further promoting their friendship.

For Su Lingxi, this was actually her first time to act in a movie with an actor of this level. Before this, no one who had acted opposite her had acting skills like Sigourney, who was able to both express herself and enhance the quality of the film on her own. In comparison, even Shen Man, who was shortlisted for the main competition in Berlin, could only be called a senior actor at best.

Take Su Lingxi's own feelings about the play for example. Although there were tensions and clashes when she and Shen Man were acting opposite each other, "The Ambitious" was only a commercial film after all. The core theme was not that profound, and her acting skills at the time were much more immature than they are now. Therefore, the role of Tong Yan did not touch her as much as Charlotte, and the clash between her and Shen Man was much softer than the clash with Sigourney.

"Freedom Road" is undoubtedly a heart-stirring story, and with the help of Sigourney's acting skills, Su Lingxi has her own new ideas and insights about both the role itself and the story content - this improvement is intangible, so vague that she can't explain it, but she can clearly feel that she has learned something new from it, which leads to a more thorough understanding of acting.

This was perfectly reflected in her performance - because she had a strong resonance with the character, her performance was in excellent condition and her performance of the main scenes was particularly stunning.

Even Su Lingxi herself felt happy from it: she often felt happy when performing, but never as deeply as this time.

Maybe it’s because the conflicts in this story are so sharp, or maybe it’s because Charlotte’s actions make her particularly empathetic... But it is undeniable that Sigourney’s powerful performance as an opponent actress also played an absolutely positive role in this.
