CHAPTER 742 WELCOME HOME
Chapter 742 Welcome Home
"What are you doing?"
Before anyone else could speak, Reeva smiled brightly and laughed first. "We heard that Lady
Selena's acting skills are superb, so we came to seek advice. Do you mind?"
Selena didn't seem to detect the provocation in her words and nodded. "Sure."
After speaking, she walked towards the camera.
Reeva was initially taken aback, but then squinted her eyes slightly.
Everyone else was stunned.
Although she appeared gentle and polite, why did it feel like she was looking down on everyone?
Mr. Padilla looked at the expressions of the many actors, which had turned unfriendly, and coughed
before whispering, "Selena, do you need to prepare your emotions?"
Selena carefully observed the scenes that needed to be connected in the camera and shook her head.
"No need."
Upon hearing this, some people were expectant, some sneered, and some watched.
Even the most excellent veteran actors cannot enter a state instantly without any preparation. Is this
young lady determined to be a vase of little use?
Reeva watched Selena, a hint of a cold smile crossing her lips.
After setting up the camera, all sounds disappeared.
Selena walked towards the green backdrop.
...
I often dream of a time when no one has died.
Nineteen-year-old Phoebe returned to the long-abandoned town.
The old city walls were covered with marks of decay caused by wind and frost. The once prosperous
town had already withered into dust. Everything before her had become a film of old times.
Only the spring shoots she had planted with her own hands back then bloomed one after another in
patches, each breaking ground and bathed in sunlight, thriving with vitality. The entire scene was warm
and bright.
"I'm back, Dad, Teacher, Sethy..."
The girl in the prime of her youth had a warm and bright smile on her face. "I'm doing well. From now
on, I will search for happiness in the mountains and seas of time on your behalf, look for our mutual
interests in the corners of the world, and listen to the sound of all things flourishing in the oceans and
mountains. When we reach another world, I will tell you all about it..."
A gentle wind brushed her long hair, as if someone was responding to her.
Phoebe smiled and turned back to the bright sky.
Time has blurred everything, except for those vivid and beautiful figures, which remain forever in the
depths of memory.
Suddenly, it seemed that a beautiful woman in red makeup was walking on the old stone slab in high
heels, her lipstick and coquettish smile as bright as ever. A handsome young man patted her head and
encouraged her to grow up like the spring bamboo shoots.
A young girl danced gracefully with a sweet smile on her face, surrounded by her father.
Those familiar faces seemed to be standing in the sunshine, smiling at her.
They opened their arms to her and said, "Welcome home!"
...
Reeva was startled back to reality by a sobbing sound.
She turned her head and was shocked to find that the vast majority of the Breaking Ground crew were
in tears.
Especially the young actresses, they were crying and laughing, almost incoherent.
"I finally saw a healing scene... I couldn't even sleep well for a while..."
"Yeah, especially after Sethy jumped, every time I see Matthew I want to hit him. How can he hurt our
hearts like that?"
Not only the actors in the crew, but even some actors who came to watch the excitement couldn't help
but shed tears.
This scene was not magnificent, nor did it have any sensational elements.
But Selena's performance was too real.
From the moment she stood in that place, there was no trace of acting, as if she was the character in
the play and had really experienced those things.
Reeva's eyes were complicated. "Lady Selena really hasn't acted before?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"No," a female actress from the Breaking Ground crew shook her head, "we can all testify that this is
Lady Selena's first time in front of the camera."
Before this, no one had expected that Selena could pass the test without wasting any film.
Reeva clenched her fingers.
Although she had already experienced such a blow of "God gives food to those who can't cook", Tina
still felt at a loss. She looked at Reeva and asked, "Do you still want to compete?"
Reeva did not answer the question, but her gaze fell on Hattie. "Is this little girl also a good actress?"
"Hattie, like Lady Selena, may not have the same level of professionalism as you, but they both
embody the word 'real' perfectly," the actress sighed, "it feels like they are not acting at all, but doing
what they love most."
And when it comes to acting, the most important thing is just that one word, "real".
Reeva had a complex expression and shook her head in the end, "I give up."
After saying that, she turned around and left with her people.
Tina was puzzled. Reeva, who was so competitive, didn't even argue, which felt a bit strange.
But maybe it was because Selena acted too well that Reeva didn't want to lose face.
Tina didn't think too much about it and left with her people after seeing the scene she wanted to see.
Soon, the people who came to watch the excitement left with extremely complicated emotions.
In the studio, only the actors of "Breaking Ground" were left.
Selena changed into her clothes and walked out of the dressing room. She saw everyone's solemn
faces and smiled as she asked, "Mr. Padilla, did I act badly?"
She touched her face, "I think I did pretty well in portraying Phoebe."
If it were any other character, neither she nor Hattie would have been a good fit.
Only Phoebe was tailor-made for them.
Apart from her and Hattie, perhaps only the deceased Selena could have played the soul of this
character.
Mr. Padilla was amused by her and had something to say but decided not to, "You, little brat..."
In the entertainment industry, being too popular can easily attract jealousy.
Mr. Padilla had wanted to give her some advice but suddenly remembered that Selena had no plans to
enter the entertainment industry, so it seemed unnecessary.
He looked at the low mood of the crew and coughed, "Okay, everyone clean up. To celebrate the
completion of 'Breaking Ground,' the director will invite everyone to dinner tonight. Go get ready."
Everyone was stunned, finally coming back to reality from the last scene and cheered.
After four months, they had finally finished filming this drama. In any case, this was a thing worth
celebrating.
Selena also felt relieved and smiled.
After agreeing on the time, she took Hattie's hand and left the castle, taking Hattie with her to play for
an afternoon.
The celebration ended at nine o'clock in the evening. Selena sent Hattie back to her room to sleep.
After Hattie fell asleep, Selena quietly closed the door and met Osvaldo in the hallway, who had just
returned.
