Chapter 479: The Story Behind the Scenes — The Limits of the Role Are Hard to Escape for Long!

Even during this kind of post-production segment, she was still wearing the special-effects makeup.

Christine was pulled to the front by Xu Can.

And the big screen behind them quickly showed some of the behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot.

These behind-the-scenes clips weren't used by Xu Can for promotion, but to let the public know the hard work every actor put in behind the scenes.

The hardest part was that each of them willingly went through whatever was necessary to shape their character.

"Take it off first. Your scene isn't until tomorrow afternoon. Keeping this layer of special-effects material wrapped around you the whole time could damage your skin, and I don't know how long you can endure it. Don't challenge this kind of limit casually. Once the skin is harmed, sometimes the damage is irreversible!"

In the footage, Christine smiled with her eyes curving gently.

"No need. This way we can save a lot on materials for our crew, and save time too, so the makeup artist won't have to redo my shoot and styling later!"

"If it really gets too much, I'll just tough it out a bit. It's only a few times anyway. When no one's around, I'll take this headpiece off and get a little air!"

The woman playing 383 in the footage was clearly delicate herself, yet she conveyed a completely different feeling for the sake of the film.

Thunderous applause erupted on site, all of it cheering Christine on.

The actual lead politely stepped back. Under Xu Can's influence, they had long since shed their preconceptions.

Not a single person in the entire film was dispensable. Whether the actors appearing on screen or the performers behind the scenes, they were all part of what made the film whole.

Xu Can valued every actor exceptionally, hoping they would have the courage to step onto this stage.

"There are also some actors who felt their roles were too small to appear here, so they've been quietly watching us take the spotlight. But I want to thank them here. Without you, this film absolutely would not have succeeded!"

The staff in front of the TV were still moved. Even if this really was just a small role, they were overjoyed. Being able to work with Xu Can was already extraordinary!

The emotional value Xu Can gave them was unmatched, letting them find their own happiness in small roles or in everyday life.

He believed they were all watching this moment in front of their TVs, and Xu Can hoped they could feel the sense of accomplishment their roles brought.

In every film to come, he would treat every role seriously.

Xu Can's attitude also drew widespread praise.

"How could a director like him not make great works? It's precisely because of him that the entire film industry is no longer so murky and corrupt!"

The reporters began snapping photos frantically.

"Next, you may continue asking questions. After this, we'll release more behind-the-scenes footage one after another for everyone to photograph and watch!"

"There are just some things that should be written, and some that shouldn't. I trust you all know that. We've never been willing to do anything false, and we hope you won't use those false claims to manipulate others!"

The on-site excitement reached its peak. Many people were even crouching by the door, watching the actors on stage—these people from the film they'd just watched could actually walk out in front of them!

Especially since their makeup and styling were still on, as if they could really bring those superpowers to life.

These superpowers were already invincible in ordinary life; there weren't that many villains out there competing against them.

"Wan Ciwang and Professor X being this close actually shows they're adapting to how the public reads their relationship!"

The CP between these two had already been on many people's minds.

Xu Can also hoped the two of them would look into how they were being talked about online, so they could perform well on site.

Especially (cadf) given the current situation.

The reporters really didn't ask anything too outrageous. Xu Can had spoken to them beforehand. Whether they were willing to listen to Xu Can was another matter, but everyone gave Xu Can face.

"I'm a fan of Xu Can. I've watched every film he's made. I'm here today not because he told me in advance to write a serious news piece, but because I came willingly!"

Xiao Zhang excitedly picked up his computer nearby.

He hadn't wanted to write news on site, but he couldn't hold it in, afraid he'd forget the things Xu Can had said to him in real life!

The post-production service finally ended.

The actors were exhausted, collapsing into a heap, and returned backstage. Xu Can told them to calm down a bit.

If they were already feeling worn out now, the Houkending Society would only get more grueling. They had to get used to this kind of state.

Seeing that Christine still had blue makeup on, Xu Can hurried over.

"You can wash this makeup off now. The next promotion won't be this close up. It's very damaging to your skin. I'll give you a beauty card—it's a place I checked out before. It can definitely restore your skin to a certain state!"

Christine immediately stood up and threw her arms around Xu Can.

Without caring that there were still a few staff members nearby, she hugged him just like that.

"I've already been holding back as much as I can. Why do you still have to care about me like this? You're going to make me less and less willing to leave your side out there, more and more wanting to stay close to you!"

The woman's warmth pressed into his arms.

Xu Can smiled and gently stroked her back.

"Let me go with you. That place might only recognize me. A character in full special-effects makeup—they might not know who it is. If I go, they'll know she's from my crew, and they'll definitely take extra care!"

"If you're this good to me, I really won't be able to let you go. When the time comes, I'll stick to your side forever, and we'll be together for a long, long time!"

Xu Can smiled indulgently.

Acting this spoiled in my arms is going to break the rules.

"So many people are watching now. If we keep hugging like this, the Huiwu Society really will start. You still have a single image. Don't let some loose talker leak this out."

Quite a few people passed by one after another nearby.

For Christine's image, they couldn't be too intimate.

Christine still lowered her arms dejectedly.

It would be great if she could always stay this close to Xu Can, but that was something his official girlfriend should be doing!

"Let's go. I'll take you to remove your makeup now, and give your skin some care while we're at it, to make sure your next shoot isn't affected by our crew!"
