Chapter 34 (1/2)

Personally Killing

The director considered this for a long moment, then nodded. “You have a point. In that case, let the heroine arrange for the magistrate to be publicly beheaded. That would also be more dramatic.”

“No.” Lu Zhen shook her head with determination in her eyes. “No one else can do it. It has to be Qin Qing who kills the county magistrate herself.”

The director looked at her in shock. For a moment, he felt that Lu Zhen’s gaze was so sharp and terrifying, as if she was the real Qin Qing, the female general who killed people decisively on the battlefield.

“You—you’re sure?” The director licked his lips. “If we do as you say, then this scene will be very difficult to film.” But it will also be very exciting and very interesting!

The director was also a little excited. He felt that Lu Zhen’s suggestion was very good. After all, this scene was indeed too biased towards the male lead. After the male lead saved the damsel in distress, Qin Qing’s character seemed less dazzling and even a little boring.

However, if this scene mentioned by Lu Zhen was included, not only would there be a conflict in the drama, but the foreshadowing of the male lead saving the damsel in distress would also become the foreshadowing of Qin Qing’s growth and transformation. The plot would appear more reasonable, compact, and fascinating.

But… could Lu Zhenzhen really act this scene out well? She had to personally carry a knife and kill her enemy to avenge her subordinates.

The pace of this scene had to be very slow in order to provide sufficient room for the female lead to express her emotions. There also had to be a lot of change in camera positions and close-ups.

If there was even the slightest flaw in the Lu Zhen’s performance, this scene would be completely ruined. It might even be better not to film it.

Even though Lu Zhen was an experienced young actor, such a scene would be difficult to handle even for an old actor who had been in the industry for many years.

The director shook his head and sighed. “I understand what you’re saying, but it’s too risky. I’m not questioning your ability, but even I’m not sure I can shoot this scene well…”

Lu Zhen saw that the director didn’t reject her directly, so she felt confident. She smiled and looked at the director firmly. “Director, let me try. If I can do it, you can imagine how exciting this scene will be. It might even be the highlight of the entire show!”

The director didn’t believe Lu Zhen at first, but when he saw the confidence and tenacity in her eyes, he felt compelled. His emotions actually overcame his sense of reason. He felt a rare rush of passion.

“Good! Then we’ll give it a try!” The director looked at Lu Zhen and felt an inexplicable sense of trust in this young girl.
