Chapter 14: The Real Crew Members Cried

Just when Wen Si tried to take over.

Chen Xiao suddenly heard a very low chuckle coming from behind him.

Because of the systematic physical improvement potion, his hearing is far superior to that of ordinary people. Other staff members did not hear the sound.

"Experience this shit, shoot it in a swimming pool, without even entering the sea, experience despair? It's nonsense, it's really a rubbish commercial film."

Chen Xiao turned around and looked.

On the shore more than ten meters away, an extra performer covered his mouth and muttered to his companions, his eyes full of disdain.

"I went out to sea with a cargo ship last year. There was a storm on the sea at night. Four or five-meter-high wind waves hit the cargo ship. The cargo ship lost control and hit the rocks and sank. My friend..."

The extra performer's voice was trembling, and his eyes were red.

He raised his hand to wipe his face, sniffed and continued: "Those celebrities who have never experienced it, how can they experience it in this broken swimming pool! How can they understand the feeling of dying?"

The extras looked at Chen Xiao and Ruth with resentment, and happened to catch Chen Xiao's gaze. He felt guilty and immediately looked away.

Chen Xiao said nothing and looked at Ruth.

Ruth frowned slightly, her eyes were red, and she stared blankly at the water, "Director Chen, I should be able to do it."

"OK." Chen Xiao slowly exited the swimming pool and waved to the recorders and photographers, indicating that they were ready to start shooting.

Extras and Leo get into the water.

Chen Xiao sat in front of the monitor, observed the two people's emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Action."

…

in the monitor screen.

Ruth lay on the board, held Jack's hand tightly, and blinked heavily, "I feel so cold."

Her eyes were affectionate and tired.

He was as tired as a dead leaf hanging on a tree, and he already wanted to give up the struggle.

"Listen, Ruth." Jack's voice was trembling, but gentle and strong.

He stared at Ruth closely, "You will get out of danger safely."

"You will live a good life, and you will have children around your knees and a house full of children and grandchildren. You will watch them grow up. You will enjoy your old age in peace and rest in a warm bed."

"Not here, not tonight, not in this way, you know?"

Ruth's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with tears.

She lowered her head slightly, closed her eyes, and said at a loss, "I'm unconscious."

Jack frowned, his face full of anxiety.

He swam forward, his eyes pleading.

"Ruth, winning that ticket was the luckiest thing in my life."

Jack's tightened brow slowly relaxed, revealing a happy smile, "It allowed me to meet you, and I'm grateful for that. I'm very grateful."

Rose raised her head, stared at Jack, smiled, and her eyes were full of affection. The look of almost giving up just now disappeared.

The two of them laughed softly with trills.

Jack took Ruth's hand in his.

"You have……"

He took a breath and gathered all his strength.

"You have to do me a favor."

He stared at Ruth firmly, as if he wanted to carve his thoughts into her mind, and said with a decisive tone, "Promise me that you will try to live. No matter what happens, no matter how...desperate, never give up."

The biting cold water eroded Jack's consciousness.

Rose felt Jack shaking violently.

She slightly propped up her body with her arms, her lips trembled quickly, her eyes were firm, but there was a hint of fear and confusion.

Jack tried his best to stay conscious, his eyes as firm as steel, but affectionate.

He continued shakily: "Ruth, promise me now. Never break your promise."

Ruth stared at him, her eyes filled with tears, "I promise you. Jack, I will never give up."

Jack's eyes were firm and he repeated again: "Never give up."

"Jack, I will never give up." Ruth's voice was pleading, as if she hoped to use her promise to keep Jack.

Jack kissed the back of her hand and smiled reassuringly and relieved.

He lowered his head, breathing more and more rapidly, and pressed his forehead against Ruth's, breathing hot air into her hand.

Ruth lowered her head and held Jack's hand tightly. The surrounding coldness made her cheeks tremble.

…

Three or four seconds later.

"Excellent! Very good!"

Chen Xiao stood up and took the lead in applauding.

The director of photography, art director, makeup boss, and extras also applauded.

Many people had tears in their eyes.

So awesome.

The lines and performances are absolutely amazing!

Leo and Wensi acted very realistically, as if they were really facing a desperate situation.

Half an hour ago, Wentz's performance had been a little lackluster.

Director Chen's ten-minute guidance allowed her to vividly express the feeling of gaining strength from her lover, wanting to keep her lover but being at a loss, so she could only agree to make him feel at ease.

Everyone present was worried.

I can't help but imagine that if we encounter a natural or man-made disaster...

In the face of this desperate situation, do you muster all your strength and firmly encourage your lover?

Or do you have the courage to live with your lover's wishes?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

By the swimming pool, Wensi had not yet left the show, hugging his manager sister and crying.

Leo also covered his eyes and secretly shed tears.

At this moment, an excruciating cry came out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Xiao looked along the sound.

On the shore of the swimming pool, an extra performer was lying on the ground, crying uncontrollably, lowering his head and beating the floor tiles hard.

"Why... why did you give me the lifebuoy? Survival... is really difficult..."

His three companions were also squatting next to him, crying and comforting him.

One person turned around and explained in a choked voice:

"Sorry, we are a crew member, and he has experienced shipwrecks before. Sorry to disturb everyone."

The cries of unbearable pain penetrated into the hearts of everyone present.

What a natural and man-made disaster, life and death are unpredictable...

Many people thought of one of Jack's lines.

Life is all about luck.

Life is a gift and I don't want to waste it.

You never know what the next hand will be, so learn to accept life.

To make every day worthwhile...

Everyone fell silent.

Half a minute later.

Chen Xiao glanced at everyone, clapped his hands, and broke the silence.

"We're done! Thank you for your hard work. Let's have a good rest. We'll continue at 7pm."

The staff started to move and quietly packed up the props and venue.

…

Chen Xiao just walked out of the studio.

Zeng Wei came forward.

He glanced at the studio and said in a worried tone: "Director Chen, what happened inside? The actors were crying so hard and there was a conflict?"
