This Artist Reveals Behind the Scenes of Crying Scenes in Soap Opera, the Difficulty of Building Sad Emotions until Tears Fall

However, not many people know how the actors in soap operas produce quality shows. It turns out that there is a serious effort from these soap opera actors in acting. One of the acting challenges for soap opera actors is crying scenes.

Assumed Artificial Tears

The actors or actresses are required to show the audience that their tears are truly realistic, not fake. Unfortunately, the audience believes that the tears shed in the soap opera are fake. They are convinced that the soap opera actors do not genuinely cry and the tears that come out are artificial.

However, the soap opera artist named Ratu Idola recently showed that the tears in the crying scene were real, not fake. Through a video on her TikTok account, @ratuidola, she showed the moment when she performed the crying scene. Ratu said that the tears that came out were her real tears, not because she used eye drops.

According to him, if using eye drops, his eyes will feel sore, and his sad acting will not look natural. "The crying is real, the tears are real. Because if using tear drops, the feeling of sadness is not natural," he said.

In the video, it appears that the Queen took a moment to enhance the sadness that exists within her in order to be able to cry. Shortly after, the Queen was seen sobbing, indicating that she had started crying. However, her tears did not flow heavily.

"In order not to look more aesthetic, the Queen asked for a tissue to wipe away the mucus that usually comes out when people cry."

"After her tears started to flow, she nodded to signal the crew to take her picture quickly."

"The key is that we have to truly immerse ourselves in the role we are playing. You know, how heartbreaking it is when our partner is left behind and passes away," he wrote.

After the appropriate crying scene has been obtained, the director will shout 'cut' which indicates the end of the crying scene.

It turns out that crying scenes in soap operas are not as people think, who say that their tears are fake. The tears that come out during crying scenes in soap operas apparently genuinely come from the actress who is acting. A video of the soap opera artist revealing behind the scenes of crying scenes in this soap opera also went viral and invited various comments.

"I would laugh first if that's the case." "The feeling of sadness during acting must also come from within the heart. If it doesn't come from within, one won't be able to cry during acting." "Oh my goodness, if I can't imagine someone feeling so sad but unable to cry." "Why do I want to laugh when I see a friend waiting for their sibling to cry."
