Crossing her fingers, Yang Mi prayed for Lalisa to have enough strength to enact this scene and overcome her fears.
As soon as the director yelled action, Lalisa immediately turned herself into Zhi Xing, the name of the psycho sister's character.
As it was a mall scene, she strolled around looking for various dresses. Then picking a dress she went inside she changing room, the prop prepared for the scene.
Director Ye motioned his assistant and a small fire was started on the set. All the background artists played their part of panicking, screaming and shouting while running towards the exit.
Inside the changing room, Lalisa shivered hearing the screaming and shouting. She knew it was an act but she couldn't help it. Just thinking about that she has to face this fear of hers; fire.... she would tremble all over.
Every time she sees the fire, even a small one she remembers her past life. To her it feels like she has transmigrated into that same situation; standing in the middle of the fire burning to death.
This is the trauma that she is suffering since that day she woke up. And now it was time to face it. She clenched her fist in determination; she can do it.
She is no longer that weak girl of the past who died in that fire, she is like a phoenix who is born again from her ashes determined to destroy her enemies!
She can do it and nothing is going to happen to her. This is a set and not her past life! Chanting this mantra again and again in her head, Lalisa motivated and strengthed herself. Taking a deep breath she opened the door, it's time to face her fear.
Outside, seeing that Lalis has still not come out, Director Ye was puzzled. Why is Lalisa not coming out? Everyone including Li Yeri and Chen Sehun who were there watching Lalisa's performance was thinking about this question.
Knowing that Lalisa is afraid of fire, Yang Mi was extremely worried about her. Even though Lalisa had told her not to talk with Director Ye about this scene and just go with the flow; Yang Mi couldn't help but worry.
Nothing mattered to her other than her artist's health and condition. Over all of that, Lalisa was special to her so how can she just sit around?
Walking towards the director, Yang Mi was just about to ask him to stop the scene, when the door suddenly opened and Lalisa walked out.
Becoming her character Zhi Xing, she changed her confused expression to panic. Looking around for a exit she screamed for help. The scene infront of her suddenly changed into that dark cold place.
Everything turned into that dark aloof place from her past life. She could no longer see the cameras, the set or anyone. All she could see was the same room, where she had once died.
"Help..... Save me..... Help" Lalisa screamed on top of her lungs. No, this can't be happening. She can't die....
"Somebody help me..... Help.... Help me.... I can't die.... Help me.... No... Ah!!!" Lalisa screamed with all her might. Her eyes were starting to get teary and she frantically looked around. Where did everybody go? Why am I back in the sane room again? Am I going to die again?
No!!!!
Running around she tried to find any exit but she failed. The fire was circling her from all around. There was no escape for her. "Ah... Help me.... Somebody save me...."
The crew was dumbfounded on seeing her acting. Her acting was so real but nobody saw the real struggle Lalisa was having with her mind.
Seeing that the scene was going perfect, Director Ye nodded excitedly and motioned Sun Daniel, the male lead to jump into the fire.
Sun Daniel immediately started acting his part and jumped into the fire. Walking towards Lalisa. he grabbed her hand and said his dialogue, "Miss, the fire is getting bigger. We have to leave...."
Feeling that her hand was gripped by someone, Li Xiaolu looked at her saviour. How can he come here? "You? Who are you? " she asked.
Sun Daniel who was acting as the male lead Lui Wei was stunned for a second. This is the wrong dialogue, but he still went with the scene.
Coughing a little due to the smoke he replied, "Miss, we don't have time for introductions. First we have to get out of here... " Saying this he immediately picked Lalisa in his arms and got out of the fire.
"Cut!!" Director Ye yelled.
"Miss Lalisa you were amazing...." Sun Daniel praised putting Lalisa down from his arms.
"Haha, Lalisa dear you did amazing. The scene was absolutely perfect and we had taken it in one shot. Haha, you truly are a gem. And, in the middle you added a dialogue.. I liked that very much. Both of you have done very well" Director Ye praised. He was very happy to get this shot done with so much perfection and in one shot.
Seeing that Lalisa was still standing there like a statue, Yang Mi realised something was wrong. Holding Lalisa's arm, Yang Mi thanked the Director and took Lalisa in a corner. "Lisa are you alright? " she asked giving her a bottle of water.
Lalisa didn't give her any answer, and it looked like she was still in some kind of daze. Yang Mi panicked and shook Lalisa hardly, "Lisa"
"Huh?" Blinking her eyes, Lalisa looked around and saw Sister Yang Mi and the rest of the crew. Moving her head all around, she looked for the fire.
Where is the fire?
"Lisa are you alright?" Yang Mi asked.
"Sister Yang Mi I want to go home..."
