Chapter 1497 Impeccable Acting Skills
Julian glanced at Jessie and walked up to her to look closely at her makeup. Jessie had lifted her head with her eyes closed so that the makeup artist could do her job. Once the makeup artist was done, Jessie opened her eyes, which looked as clear as spring water. However, no one seemed able to see through her by looking her in the eye.
“Is it done?” Julian asked the makeup artist.
“Yes.” Jessie rose from the chair as she was already looking forward to the first scene with Julian.
“We’ll be going out now, Hazel.” Jessie waved her hand at the woman. Hazel watched them leave through the mirror, a glint of jealousy flashing through her eyes.
Presently, Jessie was standing in her designated spot. It was a scene in the mortal world where she and the injured Demon Lord had fallen into. Here, the female lead would take care of him.
Following Vincent’s order, Jessie acted according to the script by fearlessly dashing toward Julian just as he pressed his hand against his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Are you alright? Does it hurt? Why did you save me?”
“Get lost! Don’t touch me!” Julian dismissed her and pushed her away before falling to one knee.
He depicted a noble and proud Demon Lord, yet his eyes were filled with rage, struggle, and murderous intent. All of those emotions played out through his dark and charming gaze.
On the side, Jessie was no longer in the frame. She watched Julian with admiration written all over her face, for the man’s acting skills were on another level.
“Get into the frame, Jessie,” Vincent urged.
Only then did Jessie realize it was her turn. She promptly rushed over and supported Julian’s weight. “You’re badly wounded, and your life is at stake. Stop acting tough and head somewhere else with me.”
Julian lifted his head and forcefully pushed her away. On the other hand, Jessie lost her balance and fell to the ground. The shock on her face was captured on the camera.
“Get lost!” he roared.
She gritted her teeth. At this moment, she saw several celestial soldiers running after them. Without hesitation, she took Julian’s arm and lugged him to the next spot.
Julian was horribly injured at this point, so he groaned in pain as his facial features contorted.
When they arrived at the designated spot, Jessie accidentally stepped on her long dress and fell with Julian.
This wasn’t in the script, but Vincent did not stop them. Everyone held their breaths, and only the two of them were in the frame.
Both Jessie and Julian were stunned for a while.
It wasn’t until one minute later that Vincent shouted, “Cut!”
Jessie quickly got up from Julian, her face flushed.
The man was seated on the floor while looking at the coy woman. “Did you do it intentionally?”
Jessie protested in secret, thinking that she didn’t do it intentionally. She had accidentally stepped on her dress and fallen over, that was all.
“It was a good shot, Jessie. We’ll include that,” Vincent announced while he was busy with something else.
Jessie batted her eyes and exchanged glances with the man, who had already stood up. Julian flashed a charming smile at her. The fake blood on the corner of his mouth made him look like he was the embodiment of a Demon Lord.
Meanwhile, Jessie couldn’t help but think that all the costumes were indeed delicately made. Given Julian’s six-foot-tall figure, he looked genuinely handsome in black clothes, especially when he was tangled up in cables earlier.
Since they were about to shoot the next scene soon, Jessie, Julian, and Hazel ran through a quick rehearsal.
Hazel was Julian’s subordinate in the movie. She had found the injured Demon Lord before the celestial soldiers did, but the moment she appeared, she tried to kill the young celestial servant beside him.
The clothes she was swathed in were pretty revealing. After she completed the scene, she shuffled toward Julian while swaying her figure in an attempt to talk to him.
Meanwhile, Julian’s arms were crossed while he was surrounded by several crew members. There seemed to be a bubble around Julian that stopped anyone from getting too close to him. Wanting to show how unique she was, Hazel only talked to the most important crew members and gave the others the cold shoulder.
