Chapter 1695: Chapter 829: Variety Interview (4,000 Words)

Lew Xi was very dissatisfied.

Because Cliff Stewart refused to come here to accompany her for a few days.

Clearly he didn’t have anything else going on recently, why wouldn’t he come?

Because of this, Lew Xi’s mood turned sour.

Everyone could see it, so no one wanted to approach her in the past two days.

This made Lew Xi even more depressed, feeling a sense of being rejected by those around her.

Lew Xi also noticed a problem, she was becoming more and more jealous of Zhou Yun.

Lew Xi actually never thought she would be jealous of Zhou Yun. Among this group of actors, she was the only one who wasn’t originally in acting, she was a model. Getting into the film "Killing Song" was partly a stroke of luck, just when Jin Zhulin got injured and couldn’t do action scenes, and partly because Cliff Stewart spoke to the higher-ups at Mélando who obliged him.

She thought this was a big IP; as long as she could participate and become one of the actors, her fame would increase once the film was released. After this, she wouldn’t have to experience step-by-step setbacks like before.

The modeling career can’t last a lifetime. Modeling is a youth-dependent line of work, at most till the age of thirty or forty? And then?

Many models eventually transition.

Lew Xi didn’t plan on waiting until she couldn’t stand modeling to transition, it would be too late by then.

Not only would her age work against her, losing her advantages, but people wouldn’t be willing to give her opportunities. Also, by then, she would be forced to switch careers only because she couldn’t keep afloat in one field.

Lew Xi hated this kind of "being forced".

She originally fled from Korea intending to expand herself in a bigger world.

Lew Xi always firmly believed since childhood that she was destined for greatness.

In fact, compared with those she went to school with, she is indeed the most exceptional one now.

Lew Xi is jealous of Zhou Yun because she’s not much older than her, yet she’s already widened the gap with her peers significantly.

And she’s so low-key. The thing Lew Xi dislikes most about Zhou Yun is this "low-key" nature. Because being low-key requires confidence and backing; those without much need to be high-profile to get noticed.

Lew Xi often wondered when she could possess Zhou Yun’s natural "low-key" and "calm demeanor".

Someone once told her she has a very aggressive face.

Lew Xi used to love and be proud of this face that made no one dare underestimate her.

But in this crew, seeing Zhou Yun always handling relationships effortlessly and during filming, very involved, even unafraid to expose her weaknesses and shortcomings. Her overly candid attitude, not treating herself like a popular celebrity, particularly pricked Lew Xi’s eyes.

Nakajima Hoto also has that style. But Lew Xi could see Nakajima Hoto’s internal thirst for fame, wanting to be more popular. Lew Xi saw through her knowing deep down they were the same, so Lew Xi could cooperate with Nakajima Hoto’s performances while feeling superior to her. Facing Zhou Yun, she could only feel jealousy.

Tim Lang was not satisfied with her.

Lew Xi noticed it too.

Her acting was bad, not up to par, unlike other actors with rich performance experience and strong acting skills.

Tim also blamed her for not being able to immerse herself in roles, having too many distractions.

Lew Xi admitted it too.

But, in making such a movie, who can truly be without distractions?

In this shot, does she look good?

Can the action choreography be cooler, more spectacular?

In this scene, could she have more frontal shots?

Lew Xi thought, she came to shoot this movie to gain fame.

How could she not have distractions?

Lew Xi and Tim Lang maintained a mutual dislike.

Isn’t this just a commercial film? What’s with the pretense of shooting an art film?

Of course, Lew Xi dared not say these things to Tim Lang.

Tim Lang, being a big-time director in Hollywood, Lew Xi was still afraid to offend him.

That day, "Variety" sent people to interview the "Killing Song" crew, arranged by Mélando, serving mutual needs.

The film "Killing Song" attracted much attention, "Variety" wanted to get interviews from the filming process, while "Killing Song" needed publicity to stay focused.
