Chapter 206: Character life

No one could answer this question.

Every person named had an incomparably heavy expression. Some were panicked and at a loss, some were expressionless, some were thoughtful, and some were looking around.

Even Seeing Jin Li, when hearing herself named for murdering someone, took a subtle deep breath, then exhaled a long breath, her chest rising and falling, trying hard to stabilize her emotions.

"Edward George Armstrong (Doctor), you murdered Louisa Mary Clees..."

The named doctor stood up quickly. "Who is this?"

The playboy played by Ren Zhangtao stared at the doctor nervously. They had just had an argument.

The butler brought a cup and stood aside, his face gloomy. "I don't know, sir."

"Emily Caroline Brent, you murdered Beatrice Taylor..."

Different from other remakes, every veteran actor in this version had a different understanding of the character, and didn't stand up when named like the classic version, giving an independent space lens.

Deng Zexu let these veteran actors play, multi-camera shooting the reaction of each of them when named.

For example, this rich lady, when hearing the person she murdered, couldn't help but close her eyes, her brows furrowed, and her expression was a bit cold.

As more and more people were named, everyone started searching eagerly.

Their movements became more and more panicked, every door was quickly pushed open, and finally, they came to the gramophone playing the vinyl record.

Gu Cheng looked deeply at the performance of each of them.

In this, the performance was not done in one go, but intermittently.

The actors standing on the stage would immediately be switched to another person when the filming signal sounded.

They interpreted other people's lives, bringing the stories of the characters' lives to the audience.

And when acting to the point of fascination, even if the director shouted cut, no one detached quickly, but immersed themselves in the world of the script together.

When the director shouted to film again, the actors who had been silent during the break started performing again, as if the "cut" shouted by the director in the middle was just a pause button.

When "Action" started, the pause button turned into a play button, and all actors performed their duties, continuing to interpret the character's life.

Every subtle expression and action, the rendering of lines, the change of lighting, that slightly trembling body, the color-strong and inner-weak expression, the crazy laughing posture...

Gu Cheng had never clearly felt at this moment that the set was a collective combination of all emotions, and also an amplifier of emotions!

The veteran actors cooperated tacitly, and the young actors didn't fall behind. Every character was competing, and the feeling brought to Gu Cheng was incomparably shocking.

And what was shocking was not only the situation of each character being revealed as a murderer, but also the scene of quickly finding the gramophone and taking away the vinyl record, and everyone started sizing each other up.

Suspicion, anxiety, fear... silently permeated the room.

Gu Cheng stood outside. Although these actors didn't have very exaggerated physical expressions, just this silent confrontation made people feel the atmosphere was very heavy.

He couldn't help but exhale lightly.

He also became nervous.

The scene of being revealed as a murderer in front was very exciting, and the subsequent explanation of the reasons for not being a murderer was also very exciting.

Everyone's expression when answering was different. Some felt sincere sadness and apology for the victim of "accidental death," while some were expressionless, and some had forgotten about this matter entirely.

The butler settled the maid who had fainted from panic, returned to the living room, and was the first to stand up and say:

"Although I put the record, I did it according to the Owen couple's request. I don't know the record has a problem.

As for the person I murdered, that was my previous employer, but she died of old age, which has nothing to do with me."

After the butler explained, others also explained one after another.

The doctor said that was his patient, who died during surgery, which belonged to a medical accident. This kind of accident was very common, and no one could guarantee that they could save people every time.

The general said that person was his adjutant, a soldier in service. Saying he was murdered was too insulting to the soldier.

The playboy Marston played by Ren Zhangtao insisted that he didn't know the name mentioned in the gramophone at all, didn't know, and didn't know anything.

He was the most relaxed person on the scene, both in the play and outside the play.

According to the plot, this young master also indeed thought it had nothing to do with him, because he had forgotten what he had done.

When clearing the relationship, he kept drinking red wine, with a smile on his face, having a kind of carefree feeling.

Vera, played by Seeing Jin Li, also opened her mouth at this time.

"That person was once my student, who accidentally drowned in the sea. I wanted to save him, but didn't succeed..."

The light given in the room was not bright, and the light brought by the candles added a few points of wavering and treacherousness.

Everyone was righteous in clearing their relationship with the deceased. Everyone was innocent.

But Gu Cheng felt this scene was ridiculous.

He hadn't read the original *And Then There Were None*, but had heard friends mention that no one here was innocent.

Putting aside the known plot, just watching their performance, one could feel the sense of guilt under the hypocritical appearance.

Disgusting enough to make one want to vomit, like a devil in human skin.

Gu Cheng couldn't help but say: "No wonder some people say this drama looks like suspense, but it actually talks about human nature from beginning to end."

Deng Zexu, who was on the side, agreed: "Watching them fall, watching them be hypocritical, watching their struggle after being revealed, watching them bite each other, watching them destroy themselves.

The blizzard villa model has always been a classic for testing human hearts, but it's also because they acted well. If it were others, they might not be able to act out that flavor."

Gu Cheng deeply agreed.

The end of this scene was the playboy Marston suddenly remembering who the two people he murdered were.

"They were two children. They were walking on the highway. That was a wide road, and I liked to speed in that section.

I didn't notice them at all when driving, hit them, and for this, I had my driver's license revoked for half a year."

Marston had no remorse. Hit was hit. Compared to this, not having a driver's license made him more uncomfortable.

Suddenly, this playboy had difficulty breathing, used his hand to pinch his throat, and the doctor on the side reacted quickly, shouting loudly: "He is choked!"

Some people rushed forward to move him away, but the playboy couldn't control himself and fell on the sofa, just falling in front of Seeing Jin Li.

The blood he spat out splashed on her face.

"Move him away quickly!" Seeing Jin Li screamed.

Marston was soon moved away, the blood overflowing from his mouth became more and more, his legs couldn't struggle anymore, and he died.

"Cut!!" Deng Zexu shouted to stop, watched the lens once, and requested a reshoot.

He was not satisfied with Ren Zhangtao's performance before death.

This scene was reshot five times, and the blood and clothes on Seeing Jin Li's face were repeatedly wiped and changed.

"Cut! Passed!"

When Director Deng shouted passed, all actors breathed a sigh of relief in unison. This kind of tense conflict scene consumed a lot of emotions.

Don't look at the repeated filming only taking less than an hour, but the energy consumed by the actors was comparable to half a day of strenuous exercise.

Some veteran actors were a bit tired and wanted to rest.

Two important scenes were filmed today, and Director Deng waved his hand, "Holiday tonight, no filming, you go rest first!"

Seeing Jin Li turned her neck. She had been maintaining the posture of tilting her body and raising her neck, which put a little pressure on her shoulders.

She pondered about where to take Gu Cheng to play later.

Suddenly, a warm towel was handed over, and Gu Cheng said softly: "Wipe the blood on your face."

Seeing Jin Li took it, wiped it messily, met Gu Cheng's somewhat accusing gaze, and then opened the phone's shooting function, carefully and gently wiping off the blood.

Gu Cheng took the towel and looked at her face. "Still red."

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "My face is very tender, it will turn red if touched too much."

Gu Cheng's eyes flickered: "Do you want to apply some ointment?"

Seeing Jin Li blinked. "Should—no need, right?"

Gu Cheng insisted: "Better apply some aloe vera gel."

After he finished speaking, he took out a small tube of aloe vera gel from his bag. He usually used it when some places were sunburned.

Under Gu Cheng's gaze, Seeing Jin Li had to apply some aloe vera gel, feeling strange... exquisite.

Compared to Gu Cheng, she seemed more like a rough man?

Seeing Jin Li returned it after wiping. Gu Cheng turned away at this time and said casually: "Gifted to you."

On the other side, Ren Zhangtao stood next to the director, watching the filming just now.

He looked with one eye and aimed at Seeing Jin Li with the other.

Ren Zhangtao couldn't help but "tsk," and said in a low voice: "If you really want to see her, then go see her. What's going on with staying here and not leaving?"

Ren Zhangtao stalled for a few seconds, as if thinking about a serious problem, and it took a long time before saying: "No, I'd better look at my performance first."

Seeing Jin Li would still film on set and couldn't run away, but this was his wrap-up scene.

Whether he could slap his father in the face, success or failure depended on this one move.

No need to film next, Seeing Jin Li's emotions recovered well. After detaching from the performance, she was alive and kicking again, so she took Gu Cheng to stroll around the set.

Speaking of which, this island was a newly developed tourist island. The buildings had been built, but the related marine play facilities hadn't been built yet.

So there weren't many people on the island.

Seeing Jin Li and Gu Cheng walked on the beach wrapped by the set, even fewer people, and the two chatted while walking, walking down the beach non-stop.

After walking for more than half an hour, Seeing Jin Li saw the building not far away and couldn't help but be amused.

"There is also a Mazu Temple here!"

Gu Cheng looked over. "I came from the other side before and saw a pier. There were a few boats on the pier. The locals here probably live by fishing and will go out to sea to fish. It's normal to believe in Mazu."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes curved, and she was in a very good mood.

This way she could replenish divine power anytime, anywhere, without worrying about any problems with her body.

Gu Cheng took the opportunity to say: "Want to go to the Heavenly Queen's Palace to worship?"

Seeing Jin Li was a bit moved, but considering Gu Cheng rarely came to visit the set, she said: "Forget it, I'll take you around first."

Gu Cheng said easily: "Going to the Heavenly Queen's Palace is also walking around."

Seeing Jin Li said happily: "Then let's go see!"

Gu Cheng looked at the smile on Seeing Jin Li's face and couldn't help but follow along.

The faint sea breeze blew on her cheeks, and the bright smile remained in the late autumn favored by the sun.

They were happy on this side, while the remaining three teammates of March Sky were tired like dogs.

The sports meeting wasn't the most tiring; practicing the dance to be performed was the most tiring.

This dance had to incorporate many sports techniques, make various sports movements, and sing and dance throughout. One could breathe, but the breath must be absolutely stable.

Because Gu Cheng couldn't come back tomorrow morning, and the dance show was filmed tomorrow morning, they had to temporarily separate Gu Cheng's dance.

Yan Xingdong was a "beat-snapping" fanatic.

Every time they practiced dancing, he would definitely struggle with balance. This balance didn't work, that balance wasn't right, making Luo Yi allergic to this word.

Another round of dance practice ended.

Luo Yi lay in the dance studio, and Chen Lin on the side was drinking water ton-ton.

In the past, it was always Chen Lin who started the topic, complaining about the captain's strict requirements when practicing dancing, calculating even the changes between a hair's breadth.

But this time, Luo Yi looked at Chen Lin frequently, but Chen Lin didn't receive his gaze, instead looking down at his phone.

Suddenly, a vibration came, and Chen Lin's eyes lit up.

"Sister Pearl!" He answered immediately, his voice cheerful: "Do you have any gigs tomorrow morning? Do you want to come and watch my performance?"

"Ah... can't come? Where are you running gigs? Maybe I can meet you by chance?"

Chen Lin's voice became deep, but then became cheerful again.

"Eh, your filming location is very close to my performance location. You can come. It won't be inconvenient. It's the program team's honor for the program team to invite you as a spectator guest. They are very willing!"

Luo Yi:...

He had a premonition that he had lost a dance-complaining general.

Luo Yi turned to look at the other side. Yan Xingdong was still posing in front of the mirror, continuing to study his balance. Suddenly, his phone also rang.

Yan Xingdong picked it up and looked, his brows and eyes soft.

"Sister Meng Ze, what's the matter... okay, I'm free tomorrow noon. We can chat about the plot together. It's mainly that I want to chat with you.

I've never understood why the heroine had to do that. I think she could find other methods. Maybe we can explore the differences between men and women..."

Luo Yi sighed deeply.

Covered the towel on his face.

Dead, want to lie as a corpse.

Feeling that the corpse spots were filled with the sour smell of love.

Gu Cheng and Seeing Jin Li went to worship Mazu together.

The Heavenly Queen's Palace on the small island wasn't big, but the tourists coming and going were very generous. Whether it was the offerings brought or the incense bought, they were all top-notch.

Seeing Jin Li listened to a mouthful. It turned out that it was the opening of the sea these two months, and fishing wasn't prohibited. Their families all went out to sea to catch fish.

Some fishing boats came back and went out again. The local residents were worried about their families' safety and had to come to worship every week.

Piously praying for their families to return safely.

Seeing Jin Li had nothing to ask for, only asking for good health.

When she left, Gu Cheng was still making a wish, so she walked out of the main hall first, and a surging divine power followed. It was the same amount as the previous few times.

Now every time she worshipped a god, the divine power she obtained was the same.

It's just that she didn't know what ability Mazu would give her this time. ===== CHAPTER 207 =====
