This type of emotional portrayal was the hardest to perform.
Therefore, before the actual shooting began, Shan Xian and Wang Xun specially sought her out and discussed the scene with her for a long time.
But the truth was, Yuan Jiaye wasn't up to the task and simply couldn't handle such a demanding role.
After several takes, there was no need for Chu Liangxia to point out mistakes, even the staff on site knew what the problem was.
Yuan Jiaye just couldn't get into the right emotional state.
In the end, Shan Xian exploded with the megaphone, "Just imagine, you're about to die, what would that feel like!"
Yuan Jiaye was scolded miserably and felt quite downhearted; she eventually entered a "sorrowful" state, but the desired effect was nowhere to be seen.
