Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 756 This bear is huge!

"I still need to work on this character's lines! Let's go inside!" Cheng Chong said as they walked.

Looking at Cheng Chong, Zhou Yang thought to himself that it was precisely because of his love for the performing arts and his continuous efforts that he had achieved such brilliant results today.

Upon entering the site, Zhou Yang and Ke Wenli began to check the scene arrangements and coordinate the progress of the staff.

If there is disharmony among staff, the work will be greatly affected.

"Adjust the position of the light source slightly!"

"That's right, we need to create a cool color tone and a realistic feel in post-production!"

"Okay, Lao Ma! Your adjustments are great. I'll hand over the close-up shots to you too!"

"Don't be careless. There are no restraints this time, so your hands must be steady!"

"Okay, no problem, not even a little bit off! It'll be right here!"

"..."

Although Ke Wenli graduated with a professional degree, he still lacks practical experience.

He studied under Zhou Yang, and the two would occasionally discuss things together, with Zhou Yang nodding in approval from time to time.

Zhou Yang looked at the staff and turned to Ke Wenli, saying, "We must build good relationships with the staff. If the coordination is done well in the early stages, the filming will proceed smoothly in the later stages! Some directors are strict, but they can earn everyone's respect; others are more gentle, but they can also motivate the staff to work more actively!"

Ke Wenli was moved after hearing this; Zhou Yang was teaching him.

He couldn't wait to write down Zhou Yang's words.

Every word Zhou Yang said was very helpful to Ke Wenli.

"Boss, it's truly an honor to work with you!" Ke Wenli said excitedly.

Zhou Yang patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Do your best! I believe your film will be a great success!"

Ke Wenli nodded emphatically, knowing he had to work even harder to live up to Zhou Yang's expectations!

After giving a few instructions, Zhou Yang went into the dressing room.

At this moment, Cheng Chong was putting on makeup, holding a script in his hand, carefully studying the character's emotions.

The makeup artist used an eyebrow pencil to draw her eyebrows because the role required her to project a strong aura.

Overcome with emotion, Cheng Chong leaned forward and muttered to himself, "How should I express this emotion? Should I cry sadly? No, that's not right!"

The makeup artist felt helpless; Cheng Chong kept swaying, and it took ten minutes just to draw his eyebrows.

Zhou Yang smiled and walked to Cheng Chong's side, signaling the makeup artist to continue the makeup.

“Teacher Cheng Chong! Let me see the script; perhaps I can understand the emotions within it!” Zhou Yang said gently.

Cheng Chong only snapped out of his daze when he heard Zhou Yang calling him, and then handed her the script.

“The emotions here are indeed difficult to grasp. If not, I can slowly figure them out,” Cheng Chong said, clearly believing that Zhou Yang could not understand the emotions instantly.

Ultimately, the most important aspects of acting are technique, comprehension, and immersion. Technique can be mastered through practice, while the latter two rely more on personal talent and experience.

Although Cheng Chong had watched many of Zhou Yang's films, she was unsure just how high Zhou Yang's comprehension level was.

Zhou Yang took the script and noticed the section that Cheng Chong had marked.

This passage depicts Ayu's grief upon learning that Li Weijie already knew, but choosing to bear it alone in order to protect him.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Yang said, "The emotions here aren't actually that complicated. You'd be wrong to overcomplicate it. It's not just simple crying, nor can it be expressed entirely through technique. The key is conveying the emotion, giving the reader a sense of sadness and loneliness. Fatherly love is profound; how could our family have fallen to this state! This emotion must be fully expressed!"

Cheng Chong listened with great interest; as a professional actress, she naturally understood what Zhou Yang meant.

As if remembering something, she clapped her hands and praised, "Yes! That's the feeling! Your comprehension is amazing!" Cheng Chong's gaze towards Zhou Yang became even more intense; he truly was a born actor!

The makeup artist also breathed a sigh of relief; the makeup was already finished while Zhou Yang was analyzing the script for Cheng Chong.

Without Zhou Yang's help, who knows how long it would have taken to finish this makeup.

Zhou Yang scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Teacher Cheng! The character Ayu isn't yours, so why are you researching her?"

Cheng Chong smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "In a movie, every character is interconnected, and mutual understanding is always helpful!"

Zhou Yang suddenly realized that Cheng Chong was truly a role model in the entertainment industry!
“Professor Cheng, you are truly remarkable! I have never thought about these things before, and I feel ashamed!” Zhou Yang said.

Cheng Chong shrugged, thinking to himself, "Do you really need me to teach you your talent and comprehension?"

Next, it was Zhou Yang's turn to get her makeup done.

Cheng Chong also left the dressing room to carefully study the script outside.

Li Weijie's age is set at around forty, which is middle age, but he looks slightly older due to his busy work schedule.

At Zhou Yang's request, the makeup artist added wrinkles to his face.

After 20 minutes of makeup application, Zhou Yang's face showed obvious nasolabial folds, and her skin looked rough and dull.

He looked in the mirror and was very satisfied, feeling that this was what an ordinary father should look like.

Zhou Yang stood up and tried out his pose in front of the full-length mirror, but he still felt something was off.

Although Li Weijie in the drama is in his early forties, slightly hunched over, and looks old, he still loves life.

He enjoys watching movies and Muay Thai, and he likes to look for work. Zhou Yang bent slightly, but even so, his face still radiated energy.

Seeing Zhou Yang's posture, the makeup artist thought of her own father and exclaimed, "Brother Yang, you really look like my dad."

Zhou Yang turned around and asked, "How old is your father?"

"Just turned 43!" the makeup artist replied. She felt it was great to work with Zhou Yang; she didn't have to be away from her parents for long periods, and the salary was good too.

Zhou Yang nodded in response: "Then you are really young!"

The makeup artist, who was initially quite sad, couldn't help but laugh when she heard Zhou Yang's words.

Zhou Yang smiled at her and encouraged her, "You'll be able to go back soon after filming is finished!"

The makeup artist then realized that Zhou Yang wanted to make her happy, so she nodded emphatically: "Yes, I will work hard!"

Afterwards, Zhou Yang tidied up her appearance and went outside.

Cheng Chong, Ya Ya, and the others looked over and thought he did indeed look like a middle-aged man.

They seemed to instantly see an ordinary middle-aged Zhou Yang.

Cheng Chong stepped forward and said with a smile, "This look is very similar to the character in the play!"

Zhou Yang deliberately hunched over to better embody the character, seemingly without any trace of acting.

“I think so too!” After saying that, Zhou Yang even walked around in a circle.

Ya Ya walked over, her face also showing nasolabial folds, a type of wrinkle that women often develop as they age.

Her mother, Ayu, is the same. Yaya's own temperament is very consistent with the character of Ayu, so there is no need for much acting.

When the staff around them saw the two together, they all thought they looked like a middle-aged couple.
