Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 213 Candy's Acquired Acting Skills
Before we knew it, the filming had reached the end of July.

Most of the scenes are progressing steadily according to the shooting schedule.

It’s just that Jing Tian’s performance was a bit slow.

I still can't let go. Such a beautiful and sweet face always looks a bit reserved.

The burden is too heavy, Xiao Tiantian.

It seems that he needs to be disciplined.

"Senior Sister, you are a fat person and not very popular."

"Although you've become prettier now, your sensitive heart and old habits haven't changed. You always subconsciously think it's your fault."

"Senior Sister, if you want to make a breakthrough, you can't act like this."

"You have to forget that you are a star, you are Jing Tian, ​​you are now Mi Duo, a character in the play."

"The mobilization of emotions requires a sense of layering, and the expressions must have a certain tension. You can't possibly be an acting student who doesn't understand this."

"Senior Sister, I know you have a beautiful face, but aren't you tired of being tense every day?"

As the filming progressed, Cheng Xi became more and more rude to Jing Tian.

We just filmed some simple plots before, but today we are filming the marriage scene with Xiao Liang, the president of the jewelry company.

At the wedding, Xiao Liang's ex-girlfriend posted a photo of herself who was fat before the plastic surgery on the big screen behind her.

It has a strong sense of drama, and it would not work if it were performed as flatly as Jing Tian's.

Xiao Liang: "Are you Mi Meili? You have been deceiving me!"

Mi Duo: "Yes, I am Mi Meili. I thought you already knew and accepted everything."

"Crack!"

NG five times.

"Sister, you shouldn't just feel sad about this scene. You should also feel wronged, confused, and scared."

NG ten times.

"You should even feel embarrassed, as if the things you most want to hide, your deepest secrets, are being exposed in public."

NG fifteen times.

"You should cry more deeply, not just because of the possible breakup."

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, he ignored Jing Tian who was already confused in front of the camera.

He continued to shout "Action" and it happened again.

The crew members' expressions turned grim.

After all, it's all work, and you're just adding to the workload for no reason.

Even Peng Guanying and Jin Chen, who were acting opposite Jing Tian, ​​seemed a little relaxed.

Anyone who repeats a line more than 15 times will get tired of the same performance.

And I guess it won’t pass, whether you add water or not.

Although Jing Tian was well protected, she could clearly feel that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

So I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and wronged.

I also feel that my junior brother Cheng Xi usually calls me Sweetie

If I don’t perform well in the filming now, I will become Mrs. Niu?

Don’t want to see me anymore!
Luo Xiaoyun, who was watching from the side, felt even more sorry for Jing Tian.

Seeing the director was about to continue, he quickly came to the monitor and said to Cheng Xi:

"Director Cheng, how about taking a break?"

"Why take a break? Keep filming. If you can't finish today, continue tomorrow."

"It's not Director Cheng, Tiantian is already in poor condition, and there's no point in continuing filming."

When Cheng Xi heard this, he turned his head, which had been staring at the monitor.

Said word by word:

"Are you the director or am I the director?"

"How about I ask you to take the photo?"

"Uh"

When Luo Xiaoyun heard Cheng Xi say this, she immediately swallowed back what she was about to say.

I never thought that Director Cheng, who always had a gentle and elegant college image, would direct like this on the set.
He doesn't give any face to himself or the Starry Sky Company behind him.

Seeing this expression, Luo Xiaoyun quietly went to a deserted place in the crew.

I called the company boss Lu Zheng to report the situation.

Finally, when we shot this scene for the 20th time.

Cheng Xi shouted on the intercom:

"Peng Guanying and Jin Chen, come here. The rest of you, please rest here for 10 minutes."

As soon as Peng Guanying and Jin Chen heard the director calling them, they immediately went to the monitor.

He leaned forward, waiting for Cheng Xi to speak.

Cheng Xi was talking to the two of them, and the more they listened, the wider their eyes opened.

Since it was the first time for Peng Guanying to work with Cheng Xi, he still asked:

"Director, is this really okay?"

Jin Chen looked at Cheng Xi strangely, feeling something was wrong, and whispered in Cheng Xi's ear:

"You're not using me to help you pick up girls, are you?"

Cheng Xi suddenly thought:

Damn, no way, he is so accurate in judging people.

But he still couldn't admit it, and replied:
"What do you think of me? There's nothing wrong between me and Candy."

"What a sweetheart, what a pure and innocent girl."

After hearing this, Cheng Xi realized that Jin Chen had discovered the clues that had exposed him.

So I immediately changed the subject and found Peng Guanying and said:
"Don't worry, just do as I said. I'll explain later."

"It's not your fault."

After hearing this, Peng Guanying stopped being shy. After all, it was no use continuing to shoot like this.

Director Cheng has high requirements.

So he said:

"Director Cheng, please start."

Immediately, everyone in the crew heard Cheng Xi yelling:

"Peng Guanying, can you act? You're already being perfunctory after only 20 takes, right?"

This immediately attracted the attention of the entire crew.

The director cursed and threw the script on the monitor:
"And Jin Chen, what are you laughing at? It's funny, isn't it? If you can't act, then find someone else!"

"Why are you still standing here? Go back to filming."

After Cheng Xi finished scolding, Peng Guanying and Jin Chen returned to the camera in disappointment.

At this time, Cheng Xi had not yet called for action.

Peng Guanying and Jin Chen began to perform.

Peng Guanying:
"Jing Tian, ​​you are my junior sister, but your acting is too..."

"The director is reluctant to scold you, but we are the ones who are suffering."

Jin Chen:

"Jing Tian, ​​you graduated from the Film Academy, right? Your acting is not as good as mine from the Beijing Dance Academy."

"I'd love to know what big names say about you when you worked with them before. Is this what acting is like for movie actors?"

"You kept making mistakes, and we both got scolded. The crew was waiting for you."

Jin Chen is not as polite as Peng Guanying.

She is not afraid of the company behind Jing Tian.

As long as Cheng Xi ordered her to do something, she would complete it without compromise.

As the two talked more, Jing Tian's face became visibly redder.

Tears are almost coming.

I feel like I have never suffered such a great injustice in my life.

All the big names I’ve worked with before were very polite, including the director.

Rarely talks about himself.

Even if I say it, I won't be so straightforward.

So Jing Tian finally managed to say:
"I'm sorry, I'll do my best next time."

Although Cheng Xi seemed to be waiting for another ten minutes, he was actually keeping an eye on Jing Tian's movements.

Seeing that the time was almost right, he picked up the intercom and asked everyone to start again for the 21st time.

This time, Jing Tian clearly used her brain to act. In addition, the expressions of the crew members who had just been hit by the big guy were similar to the current situation of Mi Duo's character.

Jing Tian's sense of grievance and embarrassment really comes through.

You really have to grind it over and over again.

Although it is still a little short of Cheng Xi's goal, it is already progress for Jing Tian.

And this shot can also be used by montage.

"Okay, click, this game is over."

All of a sudden, some people in the crew cheered.

Jing Tian finally escaped from the chaos of grievance and embarrassment.

At this time, Luo Xiaoyun had heard about it and immediately came to the camera.

Cold drinks and parasols were prepared for Jing Tian.

Jing Tian originally wanted to go back to the lounge, but she was thinking about the shot that she had just NGed more than 20 times.

Thinking about the purpose of joining this crew.

She gritted her teeth and went to Cheng Xi's monitor first.

"Director Shi, can I see what we just performed?"

Cheng Xi heard Jing Tian start calling him director.

I know she's a little unhappy.

I guess she blames myself for not taking her feelings into consideration.

Embarrass her in front of everyone.

In fact, Cheng Xi still likes the feeling of being in the Empress of China crew.

It’s definitely not because of watching the waves.

Instead, most of them are inmates, adolescent girls.

Then everyone plays Werewolf together after work.

Fan Binbin and Da Ran don't have any idol baggage.

It was very much like a TV series set in the millennium, with the actors all joking around with each other.

Like friends.

This crew feels a little more tiring, perhaps because Zhang Mingzhong is not by his side.

You have to worry about everything yourself.

It takes a lot of work to train the actors, and it's tiring.

Especially for Xiao Tiantian, you have to know the limits.

not easy.

"The last few performances were pretty good, come and see."

After watching it, Jing Tian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Xi.

"Let's watch the previous performances again."

Cheng Xi thought: If you don’t compare, you won’t know where your acting is not good enough.

While asking Jing Tian to watch the film slowly from the first time forward, Cheng Xi said:

"Just now, I asked Peng Guanying and Jin Chen to say that on purpose to embarrass you. Don't blame them."

At this point, Jing Tian looked at Cheng Xi with wide eyes, not knowing why her junior brother treated her like this.

The contrast between before and after is too great.

Am I still your sweetheart?
"You haven't been able to get anything done because you haven't kept track of your emotional experiences, or because you don't have enough experience."

"Every emotional fluctuation and every deep emotional experience of an actor is a treasure. We must enter into it, fully experience it, and even grasp that feeling."

“It must be recorded and reproduced.”

“Ask yourself more about why you feel this way and how it happened.”

"Senior sister, let me be honest. You are not a naturally gifted actor, but if you choose this path, you must work hard."

"For actresses born around 85, you currently have the best resources. Once your acting skills improve, your career will take off."

Jing Tian was listening silently to what Cheng Xi said at this time.

Cheng Xi rarely trains an actor with such patience.

If he didn't really like this kind senior sister, he wouldn't have wasted so much time talking about it.

Not only Jing Tian was listening, but Luo Xiaoyun who was standing behind was also listening.

I thought to myself, "Although Cheng Xi is young, what he said does make some sense, but he was too rude on the set."

Jing Tian heard Cheng Xi's story and said that it was his idea to let Peng Guanying and Jin Chen run a risk.

Watching his acting skills gradually become more three-dimensional on the screen, he knew that Cheng Xi was helping him.

He couldn't help but whispered with a hint of reluctance:
"Thank you, Cheng Xi."

After all, she just embarrassed herself. Jing Tian is a girl who has a heavy idol burden.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so pretentious in every role she plays.

Hearing Jing Tian thank him, Cheng Xi smiled.

Thank you for your attitude, it's too perfunctory.

It’s strange to say, but actually, Xiao Tiantian is quite real when we are together.

But I don’t know why, as soon as I’m in front of the camera, this idol image is firmly attached to my heart.

"Don't be so obsessed with being an idol. You should be 70% idol, with one or two grains of MSG."

"It also has to be stir-fried over high heat, with a bit of wok flavor, which is what we often call grounded."

"Otherwise, even if broccoli and chicken breast are indeed healthy and good-looking."

"But it's definitely not delicious, and it doesn't go well with rice. The audience will lose interest and won't even remember who you are."

Jing Tian nodded silently.

I feel that it was worth it to insist on joining this crew.

No one would be like Cheng Xi, who doesn't give face to anyone.

After the crew finished work tonight.

Cheng Xi went to Reba's room as usual.

As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Xi heard the song "My Only".

Reba still loves to listen to the ending theme song of "The Beginning".

After opening the door for her brother, Reba immediately sat back in her chair and started watching her tablet.

Cheng Xi leaned over to take a look and said:

"What show are you watching? It's more important than my brother coming."

"Brother, this is the hottest variety show recently, 'The Voice of China'. I only watched it because someone recommended it to me."

When Cheng Xi heard that it was "The Voice of China", the scene of turning the chair immediately appeared in his mind.

That's exactly it.

"Next, will Wu Mochou, a freshman from Qiqihar in Northeast China, get her concert recognized by the teachers?"

Cheng Xi looked at Mo Chou's bowl-cut bangs, and the memory of that summer instantly came to him.

Wu Mochou, Liang Bo, Jike Junyi, Jin Zhiwen
There is also the poisonous bald Li Daimo and so on.

Of course, there is also the four-person group of Liu Huan, Na Ying, Harlem Yu and Yang Kun, 32 concerts and so on.

Thinking of this, the lyrics and melody of Daolang's "Rakshasa Sea City" immediately rang in my mind.
I can't get over the issue of Niao and Ma Hu either.

The bird turned its butt before it even opened its mouth. The bird didn't know it was a chicken.
Good word!
But no matter what, it can be said that these people swept many people in the summer of 2012.

"Brother, someone covered your last song 'My Only', it was really beautiful."

Cheng Xi finally remembered that Li Wentao had called him last time to ask about the authorization of a TV variety show.

Cheng Xi will of course pay copyright fees, and there is no problem with normal use.

I didn’t expect it to be “The Voice of China”.

I also get a participation award.

This show was a hit variety show back then.

The contestants became famous, Blue Channel became popular, and even the judges became famous again.

But what no one expected was that Hua Shao, the host who only appeared on stage for a short time each time, became popular.

Known as "China's Good Tongue", he read 47 words in 350 seconds, attracting imitation from the public.

For a moment, the sound of "Authentic good herbal tea, authentic good voice. Welcome to watch the Jiaduobao China Good Voice, exclusively sponsored by the herbal tea leader Jiaduobao." was simply a magical sound.

Looking at Reba staring at the tablet screen.

Cheng Xi couldn't help but said with a bit of jealousy:

"As for variety shows, my brother can do it too."
