Hope you in my dream novel Chapter 97

"Can't act it?" All the people around were shocked, including director Zack.

Since the shooting started, Rachel had been in a good state. Her acting skills were very good. Zack didn't expect this kind of thing would happen in the last scene.

Michelle hastened to comfort her, "Rachel, don't worry. Calm down first! You can do it!"

With a nod, Rachel walked to a place with few people. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

It was difficult to play the climax of Joyce's story, because she had experienced the failure of love, the hardships of starting a business and the pain of losing her loved ones. She had to be able to cry and not make a scene. In front of difficulties, she had to show enough courage and tenacity, while at the same time, she had to show female gentleness and weakness.

Rachel did not know what kind of condition she would show in the scene. It seemed that no matter how she acted, she couldn't get what she wanted.

After a short break, director Zack became a little bit impatient and said, "Rachel, are you ready? Just one more time!"

Rachel could only brace herself to go onto the stage.

"Stop!"

"Say it again!"

"No way!"

"One more time!"

"Your smile should be more natural and calm!"

"Your emotion is not right!"

"Rachel, what's wrong with you today? It's not right!"

"We have re-shot for many times! Can you act well or not? You are wasting our time!"

Rachel was completely defeated. She didn't feel anything about what was going on, nor did she know how to act it.

Director Zack had nothing to say to scold her at this moment.

"You should go home to have a good rest and adjust your state of mind. We will shoot the scene two days later." Director Zack waved his hand, asking her to leave.

Rachel was very disappointed and frustrated.

Before her scenes were normally passed after one time, which made her feel very confident. Like others, she also thought that she had the talent to be an actress.

However, today she somehow encountered a bottleneck, and she could not break through it no matter how hard she tried.

Michelle tried to comfort her, "Rachel, you have high expectations for yourself, so you put too much pressure on yourself and can't get what you want. You entered a bottleneck after your performance reached a certain level.

Everything will be fine when you get through this bottleneck. Your acting skills will even be better than before after that. Don't worry too much. Go home and have a good sleep. When you're not so tired, maybe you'll realize the feeling of acting again."

Rachel sighed and she was confused, saying, "But I think it's not easy to overcome this bottleneck. Is it because I was so smooth before that I have a hard time now?"

"Setback is not a bad thing. It can make you stronger," Michelle said as she smiled.

Rachel nodded and went home.

The following two days, instead of having a good rest, she was falling into a state of crazy study.

Rachel felt that she needed to assimilate knowledge actively to make up for the fact that she did not study in an acting academy.

She read a book, watched TV dramas, watched movies, studied other people's acting skills, and studied the psychology of different characters She tried everything she could, but all her efforts were in vain.

Becoming anxious, she started to doubt herself and even wonder if she was suitable for the entertainment industry.

She refused to go out, date or see anyone. She didn't want to talk to anyone, including Amanda.

It was weekend these two days, and Eva was accompanying her. She was very worried about her, but didn't know how to help her.

Rachel even did not want to see Michelle. She didn't check her cell phone, text back or answer the phone.

She felt like she was too weak. Her world collapsed. Maybe everything was wrong from the very beginning?

At last, Eva couldn't do anything with her, so she secretly called Clark, telling him about Rachel's recent situation and asking him to help her figure out a solution.

An hour later, the doorbell rang.

Eva quickly ran to open the door. It was Clark.

"Mr. Clark, I'm afraid that she will break down if she continues to be like this. Please do something!" Eva couldn't help but tell him as soon as she saw Clark.

Clark nodded at Eva slightly. With a deep gaze, he walked up to Rachel.

Rachel sat on the blanket. With a pen in her hand, she kept writing something.

Clark sat down next to her and looked at the dense notes on the paper, frowning.

"It is far from enough to replenish the theoretical knowledge. Acting not only requires talent, but also experience, which can accurately judge a character and mind," Clark opened his mouth and said.

It was rare for him to be so patient.

Stunned, Rachel looked up at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to help you," Clark answered as he looked directly into her pure eyes.

With more doubts in her mind, Rachel closed her notebook and said, "As a CEO, you know how to act? How are you going to help me break through the bottleneck?"

Without answering her question, Clark pulled her up from the ground.

Rachel staggered and hit into Clark's chest.

"Now, you treat me as your partner. Look into my eyes and tell me everything you want to say." His tone was beyond any doubt and with a tough attitude.

Rachel stared at his deep eyes which were like a charming pool, attracting her deeply.

"I..." With her mouth open, Rachel was at a loss for words.

She was still not used to looking into his eyes and speaking.

Clark grabbed the script on the tea table, looked through it and said indifferently, "Say your lines."

It was easy, so Rachel said her lines quickly.

With a serious look, Clark asked, "What about your feelings?"

Rachel looked at him. His eyes were filled with great passion. It seemed that there was a hot stream flowing from the deep of his pupils.

Clark nodded slightly and guided her gently, "Look at me! Be more concentrated!"

Rachel tried to focus her attention on him, as if there was nothing else in the world but Clark.

"Laugh, but with tears in your eyes," Clark stated in a cold voice.

A big smile was plastered on her face, and tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"Choking with sobs when you speak."

"Keep silent, but focusing on your emotion!"

While performing, Clark guided Rachel. Following his instructions, she slowly adjusted her movements, expressions, and emotions.

"Turn around slowly to show your hesitation."

Suddenly, Clark reached out and held her shoulders. He slowly turned around.

Rachel could feel his body temperature from her shoulder. To her surprise, she didn't reject his touch at all.

With his fingers pointing to the front, Clark said patiently, "You need to look into the distance and your eyes should be clear."

He stood behind her, pressed against her back and explained patiently. Rachel could feel the warm breath around her ears.

Hot air was around Rachel's ears, making her heart skip a beat.

But she still did what Clark told her. With his guidance, she seemed to have found something familiar.

Suddenly, Clark let go of her.

Rachel was somehow disappointed.

"Just repeat what you performed just now," standing in front of her, Clark ordered coldly.

When she came to her senses, Rachel focused her attention on performing again according to the method taught by Clark.

"That's great!" All of a sudden, Eva, who was peeping from the corner, applauded and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that Mr. Clark is so awesome that you could be a director! Miss, you acting was perfect just now. I'm impressed!"

Stunned a little, Rachel smiled and said, "Eva, don't say that. In fact, it's not as good as you think!"

Clark nodded and said calmly, "You've made progress."

Rachel lowered her head with embarrassment. Was he really praising her or trying to comfort her?
