Little newbie breaks into the entertainment industry

Chapter 173 Going to the Set to Watch a Show

After arriving at the luxurious presidential suite on the top floor, Fang Shizhen personally changed the sheets for Jian Xia.

Jian Xia was still studying her role, and Professor Fan sent her a message:

"Each role is different, and the specific performance scale needs to be communicated with the director. Of course, you must first understand the role yourself. You can also find a screenwriter and communicate with the screenwriter to understand the character's inner thoughts! This will help you better grasp the performance scale!"

Jian Xia quickly replied: "Thank you, teacher!"

At this time, He Xin called: "Jian Xia, put your things away, I will take you to the crew first, meet the director, and get familiar with the environment!"

"Oh, okay, I'll go down right away. Are you in the lobby on the first floor?" Jian Xia asked.

"I'm at 1055, but I'll be down soon. See you on the first floor!"

After hanging up the phone, Jian Xia took the script and was about to go downstairs. Fang Shizhen was still making his bed when he saw Jian Xia was about to leave.

Jian Xia hurriedly said: "You pack first, I'll let Mu Xiao accompany me, He Xin and A Wen are here, don't worry!"

Fang Shizhen had never been in such a hurry before and felt a little tired. In addition, he really couldn't stand the crowded and messy environment, so he nodded and didn't try to be brave.

Mu Xiao helped Jian Xia carry her bag and went downstairs together. After meeting up with He Xin, he met the crew's actor coordinator, Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang led Jian Xia and others onto the bus that the crew used to pick up actors.

As soon as she got on the bus, Jian Xia was stunned. There were so many people!

Men and women, young and old!

Mu Xiao frowned: "Why are there so many people?"

He Xin immediately explained: "They are all actors in this play. There are so many people, so the crew arranged a bus."

Just as Jian Xia was about to get in, Mu Xiao stopped her. He turned to Xiao Wang and said, "We have our own car. We'll follow behind yours. Let's go."

Jian Xia was afraid that Xiao Wang would be angry, so she asked with a smile: "There are so many of us, it will be a bit crowded up there, is it okay?"

Xiao Wang has seen a lot and understands it, especially since Mu Xiao has such a strong aura. He nodded immediately: "Okay, then don't lose him."

"No problem!" Jian Xia said with a smile.

Mu Xiao drove himself and followed the bus to the crew. The hotel was only half an hour away from the set. When they arrived at the set, filming was already going on.

Xiao Wang called assistant director Zhang Heng, took a form, called out the names of the people and checked them one by one.

All the names of the characters were read out: "The actor who plays Xi Yan is here! She's here too. Except for the two special actors who didn't check the box, everyone else is here!"

The assistant director immediately looked up at Jian Xia. Jian Xia, who was still wearing a mask at this time, nodded subconsciously at the assistant director.

The assistant director knew that the new actress to play Xi Yan was chosen after Director Wang had been begging for a long time. She was the now very popular Jian Xia!

Who was so blind to put Jian Xia in the list of the last supporting actors?

He immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "You are Jian Xia, right?"

"Hello, Assistant Director Zhang, I'm Jian Xia." Jian Xia smiled and extended her hand.

Suddenly, the people around gasped. Is this Jian Xia? The Jian Xia whose endorsement revenue exceeded 300 million and who was also rumored to be having an affair with actor Xiao?

They were just talking about her in the car, saying that she was ignorant and arrogant, and wasting everyone's time!

Now, she is Jian Xia, at least she is more famous than those unknown people! Jian Xia is going to act in their drama? Playing the role of the favorite concubine Xi Yan?

The assistant director shook hands and said with a smile, "Hahaha, welcome, welcome. Miss Jian, please follow me. The director is directing the play inside. Please mute your phone and I will take you in."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Jian Xia was very polite.

He Xin, Awen and Mu Xiao followed in.

It was the first time that Jian Xia saw the filming site, an antique room where three actors were performing. The door and both sides were filled with machines and staff.

It was crowded, but it was quiet, with only three actors talking. Some were holding a large whiteboard, some were holding a high-pole camera, and several big guys were facing the camera. There was also a rail ladder on the ground, and someone was sitting on it, controlling the main machine.

Wouldn't it be awkward for the three actors to be surrounded by so many people and watch the performance? Jian Xia thought to herself that it seemed that she needed to adjust her mindset. She listened to the lines and guessed the roles they were playing:

Kneeling on the ground was the heroine Hu Lanying, her voice slightly pleading: "Mother, grandmother, Lanying has ambitions to go far away. She doesn't want to marry and live in seclusion in the inner courtyard, leading a life of hiding her heart and eyes. My daughter is terrified just thinking about it!"

Because she was facing away, Jian Xia couldn't see the heroine's expression clearly, but from the voice alone, she felt that there was a big difference!

This is also the highlight moment when the heroine expresses her ambitions, the momentum and emotions should be higher!

Next came the "mother". She raised her trembling hand and pointed at the heroine: "You..."

As soon as the word "you" was uttered, tears started falling!

His face was clearly filled with anger, yet also with reluctance, and his eyes were filled with heartache.

Jian Xia was moved by what she saw, and her nose felt sore.

The old grandmother at the side, however, had a look of confusion and anger on her face! She slammed the teacup in her hand heavily onto the table:

"Nonsense! Girls have always been meant to get married, and being a good wife and mother is the only way out! It doesn't matter if you have a wild temper, but if you refuse this marriage proposal, my Hu family will be finished."

Jian Xia was shocked. He is indeed an old artist! He is full of drama! His lines are powerful and very contagious!

"Grandma, my granddaughter doesn't want to get married, is there no other way..."

"Cut!" the director suddenly said, startling Jian Xia.

"Sorry, director, my tongue slipped, hahaha..." the heroine turned around and laughed.

Seeing her face clearly, Jian Xia was stunned. It turned out to be the actress who wanted to add Mu Xiao on WeChat in the hotel? Jian Xia was surprised and looked back at Mu Xiao, but Mu Xiao did not react at all.

At this time, Wang Xudong also stood up: "You should get familiar with it a little more. You are still lacking in emotions. The two teachers are very good. Take a break for 20 minutes and continue!"

"Okay, director!" The smile on Tang Ling's face was not very natural. She was indeed under a lot of pressure to act with these veteran actors.

Only then did Jian Xia see clearly that Wang Xudong was in the crowd, and He Xin pulled her towards Wang Xudong.

"Hello, Director Wang, I'm here with Jian Xia." He Xin stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Xiao He."

Wang Xudong's originally cold face immediately smiled. After shaking hands with He Xin, he looked directly at Jian Xia: "Jian Xia? Oh my, you are finally here!"

"Hello, Director Wang!" Jian Xia took off her mask, walked up to shake hands and greeted.

"Let's go outside and talk." Wang Xudong took the lead and walked outside.

Jian Xia followed them to the temporary director's lounge. Wang Xudong smiled and gave each of them a bottle of mineral water, while he took out a cigarette and lit it.

He took a long puff of his cigarette, then turned to look at Jian Xia and asked, "How was the script?"

Jian Xia actually became a little nervous: "After reading the entire script, I wrote a short biography of Xi Yan. Do you want to take a look?"

Wang Xudong smiled and nodded: "You can take a look!"

So Jian Xia quickly turned around, took the bag from Mu Xiao, took out the notebook, opened it and handed it to the director.

Wang Xudong took it and squinted his eyes to read the entire biography, including the character analysis written by Jian Xia at the end.

"Hahaha..., not bad, very decent! Yan Ning said that you only studied with Professor Fan Yu for half a month?"

"Yes, director!" Jian Xia responded obediently.

"Well, the character analysis is well written and the key points are captured, but it's not easy to play her out. But don't be nervous. The actors you're acting with are all veteran actors and their characters are trustworthy. Yan Ning told me that this is your first time acting, and it's this kind of play, so you have to be mentally prepared!"

Wang Xudong reminded Jian Xia with a smile.

I thought that this little girl Jian Xia would be embarrassed and shy, but she asked directly: "Director, there are many details in this script that require close contact. I want to know your specific requirements for these scenes!"

Having said that, Jian Xia directly opened the script, unfolded the pages that she had folded, pointed them to Wang Xudong one by one, and then stared at Wang Xudong with her big eyes blinking.

Wang Xudong: “…”
