As the director had not yet cut the scene, Yan Huan continued to chew on the sunflower seeds, an enigmatic smile on her lips. Qi Haolin, too, continued to act; he was a veteran actor and knew he had to remain in character as long as the camera was rolling.
Director Jin was impressed: it was apparent to him that Yan Huan was a highly proficient actress despite being only 20 years old. She had the entire set under her spell with her easy confidence.
Since the camera was still rolling, Yan Huan continued to act. The actors around her automatically followed her lead, they remained in-character even as they quietly withdrew into the background to allow her to shine.
