Chapter 519 - 519 Everyone’s Performance Was Simply Great
519 Everyone’s Performance Was Simply Great
The skin that was exposed outside the clothes was painted with the makeup of a wounded person.
Before filming, he even sprinkled some water to make it look like he was sweating.
By the time everything was set up, it was already morning.
“The lighting is the best at this time. Let’s hurry up and try to take fewer shots so that we can pass it smoothly.” Mingguang clapped his hands.
Everyone got into position.
Niannian, played by Jiang Xun, followed the people of the Sixth Bureau into prison.
Before entering, Jiang Xun followed them. Her face was hidden in the darkness, making her look more solemn and gloomy.
After entering the prison, she saw her colleague being chained up.
The camera focused on the details of the actors.
The nails on his hands had all been pulled out, revealing his bloody and unprotected fingertips.
The tips of his fingers were densely packed with needle holes that were still oozing blood.
His arms, body, and legs were all covered in whip wounds and blood.
His face was blue and purple, and his eyes and mouth were swollen.
Half of his face was also branded with red-hot iron, leaving behind potholes and wrinkled burn scars.
“Reporter Luo, go ahead and take pictures.” One of them said, “Remember to take pictures of his torture later. Take it carefully and publish it in the newspaper. Let those underground cockroaches see clearly that this is the outcome of being a traitor!”
Jiang Xun held the camera tightly. Her hands were trembling and her body was cold.
Jiang Xun pressed the shutter with trembling hands, her eyes red.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” When the people of the Sixth Bureau saw Jiang Xun’s reaction, they smiled and said, “I don’t know what your news agency is thinking, sending a woman like you to shoot this.”
“I can do it!” Jiang Xun’s eyes were red, but she straightened her back and gritted her teeth. She forcefully controlled her trembling hands and started snapping again.
The man from the Sixth Bureau looked at Jiang Xun. He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were filled with evil.
At this time, a series of torture techniques were brought forward.
“You can finish shooting in a while.” The person from the Sixth Bureau told Jiang Xun. “I estimate that he can only last this process once.”
“Torture him, but be careful not to let him die so easily.” The man from the Sixth Bureau said to his colleague. “Before he is beheaded, he must be alive. When you chop off his head, his eyes have to be open.”
“Yes!” The two punishers responded.
The colleague endured the torture and didn’t say a word, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Xun.
It was as if he hated her. He hated her for helping their enemies.
When her colleague couldn’t take it and wanted to shout, he spoke instead.
He glared at Jiang Xun. “You’re a good young woman with knowledge and insight. Why are you helping these scumbags?! Can’t you see the suffering in China right now?”
Jiang Xun shuddered.
She was the only one who knew that her colleague were not cursing her.
He wanted her to persevere and to remember her own perseverance.
Don’t cower just because you saw his end.
He was telling her that he had no regrets. He had never regretted it!
He was willing to exchange his blood and flesh for the rebirth of China!
At the same time, her colleague had seen her reaction. He was also afraid that the Sixth Bureau would notice her abnormality.
He was afraid that she did not hide it well enough.
That was why he scolded her so that the Sixth Bureau would not have any doubts about her.
“It seems that you’re not in enough pain!” The man from the Sixth Bureau said ruthlessly.
The torturers were getting more and more ruthless.
In the end, the two torturers first cut off his fingers, then half of his arm, and finally both his arms.
“Take the pictures!” The man from the Sixth Bureau said fiercely, “Photos of him without hands, photos of him without arms, photos of him without feet, photos of him without legs, and photos of the head and body being separated. Not a single one can be missing!”
If it were Jiang Xun herself, she would not have felt anything about this.
She had seen too many things in her original world.
The people who had been bitten beyond recognition and had their limbs torn apart.
Those things that she had shot in the head.
After seeing so many cruel scenes, Jiang Xun had long been desensitized to them.
However, she was not Jiang Xun now. She was Niannian.
She imagined her colleague as her former team members.
She imagined the team members that she had to protect. To her, they were her team members, as well as her younger brothers and sisters.
They had just joined her team and were still teenagers.
She thought about the torture they had suffered and the sacrifices their ancestors had made for China.
Jiang Xun had been able to hold it in with her red eyes at first, but now she was on the verge of a breakdown. She instinctively pressed the shutter button.
The Niannian she was playing didn’t seem to know what she was doing at all. She just instinctively kept pressing the shutter.
She was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
…
It was not until her colleague’s head was separated from his body that Jiang Xun screamed and rushed out of the prison with her camera in tears. She vomited desperately in the grass.
The scenes from her original world kept flashing back in her mind.
On her way to the underground city with her mother, the people who supported her kept decreasing, and they kept dying under the biting. They struggled in pain to survive, but in the end, they became living dead creatures.
The scene of her mother handing her a knife and asking her to stab her to death.
She wasn’t a team leader from the start. She started as an ordinary team member.
When she was a team member, she had watched her comrades die in front of her eyes, or they might not have died, but they could not be taken away because they were injured.
They could only helplessly leave their companions who were still alive and rational to die in endless torture.
Jiang Xun wasn’t numb to it. Instead, after becoming the team leader, she was determined to protect her current team members.
She no longer wanted to see her comrades, who had fought side by side with her, die in torture when they were only in their teens or twenties, paying with their young lives.
Just like Niannian’s colleague.
As Jiang Xun vomited, bean-sized tears fell from her eyes and hit the ground one after another.
…
Was a physiological reaction caused by vomiting that her tears came out unconsciously or was she crying for her colleague?
“Miss Luo, are you alright?” The people of the Sixth Bureau followed and asked from the side, but they didn’t seem to doubt Niannian’s identity.
After all, Niannian was just a reporter who had just returned from abroad.
Seeing such torture, any normal person would collapse.
It would be strange if Niannian didn’t collapse.
Jiang Xun vomited for a long time. She only stopped when the director called for her to stop.
“Alright!” Mingguan didn’t expect everyone to be able to act out the scene in one go. “Everyone’s performance was simply great. You actually shot this scene in one go. No one had any bad takes.”
The male actor who played the role of Niannian’s arrested colleague, Xu Huaiguan, was also a well-known actor in the industry.
At this moment, he also walked out and laughed while sighing. This scene was so fun!”
“When I saw Jiang Xun’s performance, I couldn’t help but be immersed in it. It’s like I’m Li Zhenyuan, and I’m in his current situation, so I can express my feelings from the bottom of my heart.”
