Nina [Note 1] is wearing a pure white tutu, with a fluffy skirt that reaches down to her calf and a slender neck exposed above the neckline, all of which are beautiful.She stood gracefully on the stage, surrounded by dark darkness, the melodious music played slowly, and the follow spot light slanted down, illuminating the place where she was standing.

Along with the music, she gently raised her arms and stretched out her straight legs, and an elegant hand gesture followed.The music is flowing slowly, she twirls along with the music, her toes stand firmly on the ground, sometimes her feet/staggered move, her figure is graceful, and the corners of her skirt are also flying up happily with her dancing movements, under the reflection of the spotlight Now, she seems to have taken up all the beauty in the world.

Slowly, after she walked around on tiptoe, she sat down on the stage, her pure white skirt spread out like a holy summer lotus.With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she naturally dropped her hands on the hem of the skirt, looking around the surroundings.But she didn't notice that behind her, in the dark corner beyond the spotlight, a man in black feathers was approaching her.

As the man got closer and was about to step into the halo of the spotlight, Nina, who was sitting quietly, seemed to feel something, stood up and began to dodge with a little panic, but no matter where she went, the black feather The men followed closely behind her like a shadow.She wanted to run away, but the man turned around and transformed into lush black long feathers and sharp horns, grabbing Nina who wanted to run away.

She struggled and resisted, but she was just dancing in the man's hand. When the man finally got away, the long skirt on Nina had turned into the white swan dress she had dreamed of, but this time, her performance, But it seemed so poignant and lonely.The white swan queen, who is not accompanied by others, stands alone in the center of the stage, gently dancing her fragile wings until she is completely swallowed by the darkness.

"Cut!" Darren yelled out the command happily and readily. Shen Yajing, who was still dancing lightly in the middle of the dark stage, reacted again, and then suddenly realized that this was filming.

She stopped her dancing and relaxed the tense insteps of her feet until they finally touched the ground.The lights of the studio were also turned on at this time, illuminating the whole studio brightly. She narrowed her eyes uncomfortably, and finally she was able to see things normally.

Vicky has already come forward with a thick coat, put it on her body, and wrapped Shen Yajing's already cold body in the thick cotton coat, and then asked with concern: "How is it, Yajing? Are you okay?" Is it cold?" She glanced worriedly over Shen Yajing's neck skin and purple lips that had clearly exposed goosebumps, and rubbed Shen Yajing's arms up and down with her hands, trying to warm her up.

But Shen Yajing didn't seem to care about the temperature of her body, she just smiled, her dark green eyes were bright, like stars scattered all over the sky, she turned her head, and murmured to Vicky with emotion: "It was amazing. Just... soamazing..." Vicky frowned slightly and said, "Ya Jing, what are you talking about?"

Shen Yajing heard the words, and it took about a few seconds before she came back to her senses, she said to Vicky excitedly and somewhat relieved: "Sister Vicky, do you know, at that moment just now, I almost thought I was Nina, I have almost completely merged with that character! This is really great, I have never felt so good before! If this state can be maintained, then I am confident that I will be able to break through myself! I am really looking forward to this What will the film look like when it's finished!"

Vicky was dumbfounded by her happy look, and said angrily: "Okay! You are the best, right? My good girl, can you calm down and go over there to rest? Don't stand at the scenic spot It's in the middle, and the staff are here to clean up the stage." Shen Yajing smiled at her a little shyly, and followed her to the rest area while putting on her padded clothes.

When passing by Darren, Shen Yajing was stopped, and Darren smiled and waved Shen Yajing to come over to see the shooting effect.She huddled in the cotton-padded clothes, leaned over to look at the picture on the small screen, and saw a woman in white dancing in the darkness.Supplemented by a series of close-up shots of the feet, the thrilling, fragile and beautiful qualities of ballet are vividly displayed.

Darren tapped the screen with his finger and said, "It seems that you are not talking big when you said you want to give me a perfect heroine. She danced so well that I almost thought she was an excellent professional ballet dancer."

Shen Yajing raised her lips because of his praise, and replied: "Thank you for your compliment, Darren. I am relieved to hear you say that. Before I started filming, I was always worried that my level could not meet your requirements." Darren made a dumbfounded grimace, and said: "If this is not up to standard, then you think too harshly of me, right? Am I that kind of person?" She was amused by his deliberate expression, and immediately , sneezed a little abruptly.

It was only then that Darren realized that Shen Yajing didn't wear enough clothes, and quickly said: "Oh, I have a bad memory! I almost forgot that you wear so little! You go and change your clothes, we will move to other locations for the next scene. Now, go and change that cool ballet skirt inside you." Shen Yajing bid farewell and walked quickly to the dressing room to change.After changing out of her costume, she put on her own clothes, her cold body finally regained some temperature, Shen Yajing was dressed warmly and sat on a chair with her eyes closed to rest her mind.

She didn't sleep well last night, she was dancing ballet in her dream, and she woke up very early.In order to show the perfect ballet dancer's body, Shen Yajing began to adjust her diet a month ago and strictly controlled her calorie intake.

So since the beginning of the cohabitation life, Shen Yajing, who had been fattened up a little by the youth with great difficulty, gradually lost weight again. Her waist that is getting thinner and her collarbone are more bony, which contrasts with her fake face that is about to become thinner. The oval face, so slender and weak, already fully possesses the appearance that a ballet dancer should have.

The energy she invested in the movie "Black Swan" has far exceeded any previous time. As long as she plays, Shen Yajing will look like a professional ballet dancer at any time and any place, or sit on the back of a chair. Press your legs, or sit quietly and practice the movements of your hands; otherwise, you are like a play lunatic, carefully reading through your own script full of marks, thinking carefully about how to act in the next step to be the most suitable and perfect.

For Shen Yajing, this movie is the opportunity she has been waiting for for a long time.

She can still clearly remember the words she discussed with Vicky before she decided to return to Korea for development. Her departure was never a compromise, but a forbearance.

How ambitious Shen Yajing is, I'm afraid even her closest people don't have a clear enough concept. They only know that Shen Yajing dreams of becoming a top actor, but they don't know how top-notch and how to measure it. Shen Yajing never tried to explain to them.

It's not that she's stingy, she just doesn't want them to think she's arrogant. Yes, all along, Shen Yajing's desire has always been the success marked by the little golden man - she wants to be the successor to Nanxi Meimu [Note 2], Another Oscar-crowned actress of Asian descent, with even more brilliant results.

Haha, what a crazy and arrogant idea, but Shen Yajing is not ashamed. Dreams have such a magical power. No matter how grand it is, it will not make people lose all hope, but only make people more Get excited.Even if she left Hollywood and avoided Korea due to temporary role restrictions, she never gave up on this dream.

Because this dream is in her heart, Shen Yajing has always been so pious and down-to-earth to continue her career as an actor, playing each of her roles well, and trying her best to absorb more and new things from each role she interprets. It is also because of this dream that Shen Yajing can calmly face the outside world's contempt, slander, or flattery, and uphold her true heart from beginning to end.

It has been more than five years since she returned to South Korea to develop her career. Most of the impressions Shen Yajing left on Western audiences are still on Qiu Zhang, or at most add "a famous actress in Japan and South Korea", "endorsement 'Water of life'" and other innocuous news.

This is not a position that Shen Yajing would be willing to do. She has been waiting for an opportunity to amaze those who underestimate her, and when she saw "Black Swan", she knew that this opportunity finally came.

This is almost Shen Yajing's dream performance - meticulous script, suitable sets and costumes, supporting roles played by veteran actors with superb acting skills, creative and guiding director coupled with experienced shooting team and logistics Department——everything was so flawless that Shen Yajing was addicted to the interpretation and couldn't stop.

Especially when she played with Barbara Hershey [Note 3] who played Nina's mother, Shen Yajing felt very enjoyable, as if she rushed into the air-conditioned, lukewarm room when she was sweating, and started from scratch. The pores of the feet seem to be cleared up in an instant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nina was panicking in the bathroom looking at the bleeding wound above her shoulder blade when she heard her mother Erica calling.Reminiscent of her mother's fuss, she quickly changed into a bathrobe to prevent her wound from being exposed to Erica.She didn't even have time to wrap her hair, and hurried to the kitchen.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Nina saw her mother folded her hands and stood not far away happily. Seeing her come in, Erica couldn't hide her joy and said: "My daughter, the Swan Queen!"

Nina was also extremely happy in her heart, and quickly walked up to her mother's embrace.After the hug, Erica turned sideways and showed Nina the gift on the counter to celebrate Nina finally becoming the swan queen - a cake, a kind of food that Nina would never have a chance to touch in normal times.

Erica smiled and said, "Look, our favorite, vanilla blueberry cake." As she said, she picked up the knife and cut the cake.Even at such a moment worth celebrating, Nina's consciousness is still clearly reminding her to pay attention to her diet. Seeing that the cake Erica cut seems to be quite large, Nina hastily stopped her: "Oh, this is a bit too much..."

Erica continued to do the action with undiminished interest, and said in relief: "We are celebrating, and this is the only time to eat." Unable to refuse, Nina had to think of an excuse: "Mom, I...my stomach is uncomfortable."

I saw Erica who was smiling at first, but after Nina finished speaking, her movements stopped suddenly, and the curvature of the corner of her mouth quickly disappeared at a speed clearly visible to the naked eye.She said stiffly: "Fine, fine!" Picking up the entire cake base, she walked towards the trash can and said, "Then pour it out!"

Nina knew that her repeated refusal had offended her mother, so she hurriedly said, "No, mom, no, I'm sorry!" Hearing her daughter's resignation, Erica, who was originally furious, stopped pouring the cake. The tensed shoulders slowly relaxed.

Nina smiled at her obediently, she put the cake back on the counter, and said, "I'm just... I'm just so proud of you." Seeing her mother's smiling face again, Nina felt relieved, He took the initiative to say: "The cake looks so delicious." Erica seemed very happy to hear her say this, and happily dipped some cream with her fingers and stretched it to Nina's mouth.

Nina stared at the fingers in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then quickly smiled, and leaned forward to eat the cream on Erica's fingers. When the cream entered her mouth, she frowned subconsciously, and then pretended to be happy Smile. Erica didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, and was busy on her own. Nina sat across from her, carefully looking at the smile that hadn't faded from the corner of her mother's mouth, with a timid and worried expression.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seeing that this scene was filmed so smoothly again, Darren called out "cut".Shen Yajing and Barbara stopped after hearing his instruction, and walked out of the set hand in hand.

Barbara put her hands on Shen Yajing's shoulders affectionately, and praised Shen Yajing: "Hey, I'm probably the most relaxed actor in the whole crew, most of the time I just have to talk to you Acting in a rivalry, almost every time I just pass it, I am really comfortable and happy to shoot. You are just 20, right? Today’s children are really incredible! It’s really hard to accept the old age!"

Shen Yajing was a little flattered by her praise, and blurted out: "Mom, oh no, Barbara, thank you for your compliment, you really praised me too much. If you didn't act so well, I wouldn't have acted That's great."

If you ignore the well-maintained appearance, in terms of age, the 62-year-old Barbara may even be called a grandma to Shen Yajing, so she didn't care about Shen Yajing's slip of the tongue, but loved her Patting Shen Yajing's face, she said with a smile: "Okay, don't say these polite words. I know whether you are genuine or just luck. I know it, and you know it too."

After finishing speaking, she raised her hand and looked at her watch, and found that it was almost 8:20 in the evening, and exclaimed: "Oh, it's already this time! My son [Note 4] promised to come to my house to see at 9:[-] tonight. Look at me, I'm going back as soon as possible. Bye." Shen Yajing sent her away with a respectful attitude, and she didn't know if she got into the habit of bowing after staying in Korea for a long time, and she bowed to Barbara at the end I saluted.

When she stood upright, for some reason, she suddenly felt dizzy and was about to stumble and fall, but fortunately, Darren and Vicky who happened to walk up rushed a few steps to help her.

"How? Is it uncomfortable?" Vicky asked her anxiously, Shen Yajing leaned half in her arms to try to relieve the dizziness, and comforted her in her mouth: "It's okay, it's nothing, just a little dizzy, probably because the blood sugar is a little low Alright." Hearing what she said, Vicky quickly said, "Would you like some chocolate? Shall I buy it for you?" After speaking, she was going to hand over Shen Yajing to Darren, and she was going to find a place to buy chocolate .

Darren quickly stopped her, saw her frown and looked over in disapproval, and explained a bit dumbfoundingly: "Vicky, why are you looking far away? Isn't there a ready-made one here? It's not long since it was put on display!" As he said that, he pointed to the cake that was placed in the scenic spot not far away.

Vicky laughed immediately, patted her forehead lightly, and laughed at herself: "It seems that I really need to make up for something. Sure enough, my memory is starting to get worse as I get older!" Then, she supported Shen Yajing sat back in the kitchen of the set, cut a large piece of cake for Shen Yajing and said: "Come on, eat some cake. I told you that no matter how hard you go, you must eat! You originally The blood sugar level is slightly low, it is easy to hypoglycemia, if you don’t eat, who will faint if you don’t?”

Shen Yajing looked at the cake, and felt a subtle sense of disgust in her heart. She tried to refuse: "Sister Vicky, can I not eat it? I want to maintain this body. If you can avoid this kind of high-calorie food."

Vicky raised his eyebrows and refused to refuse: "You must eat! You have symptoms of hypoglycemia now! Eat quickly! Otherwise, I will call your uncle or Zhilong to tell you about your extremely uncooperative behavior Oh!"

Girl Shen felt helpless, sighed, picked up a small fork, took off a small piece of cake, put it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and before she even swallowed it, she felt nauseous for a while, worried about Vicky In the eyes of the eyes, he quickly rushed to the sink, and it was a heart-piercing vomit.

Vicky was frightened by her, and hurriedly came up to pat her back, and asked, "Why did you vomit suddenly? Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Shen Yajing shook her head and continued to vomit. She hadn't eaten dinner, and her stomach was empty except for gastric juice , I can't spit out anything, but it's just a constant gushing of acid.

When she finally stopped vomiting, it was already 1 minute later, her face was already flushed red, and her dizziness became worse.The staff next to her saw her situation, found a chocolate bar from nowhere, and handed it to Vicky. After Vicky took it gratefully, she quickly peeled off the packaging, and brought the food to Shen Yajing's mouth.

Although Shen Yajing still didn't want to eat it, she knew that her body would not be able to bear it if she didn't eat it, so she reluctantly bit it down.Fortunately, the chocolate this time did not make her sick. After eating the whole thing, her pale face finally looked a little better. Vicky didn't feel relieved until this time, and asked Darren on Shen Yajing's behalf. After knowing that the shooting task of the day had been completed and there was no need to make up any more shots, she helped Shen Yajing into the car and sent her back to the hotel.

On the way, she saw that Shen Yajing had fallen into a light sleep, so she deliberately turned off the radio and slowed down the speed of the car, in order to let Shen Yajing take a rest.Halfway through the drive, Shen Yajing woke up with a jolt, and asked in a daze, "Sister Vicky, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly?"

Vicky said in confusion, "What are you talking about? I didn't say anything!" Shen Yajing frowned, closed her eyes and lazily rubbed her temples, and said, "Really? Then I probably heard it wrong." She closed her eyes and rested her mind. Talking again, trying to fall asleep again, but not paying attention to the side, Vicky is looking at her with worried eyes.
