Little newbie breaks into the entertainment industry

Chapter 177: Realizing the Sense of Drama in Performance

Nangong Lingzhi looked at Hu Lanying, only took one glance and then quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look again.

He unconsciously grabbed his dirty and ragged clothes, and pursed his thin, cracked lips.

Jian Xia looked at Te Xian through the camera, and her heart unconsciously became sad and nervous! She even breathed lightly!

Looking at Hu Lanying in another special shot, she looked at Nangong Lingzhi, and the anger on her face quickly disappeared. She suddenly put on a smile, then squatted down, looked at him at eye level, and asked with an innocent look:

"What's your name?"

Nangong Lingzhi moved his body, then shook his head. Hu Lanying asked again: "If I buy you, will you come with me?"

Nangong Lingzhi paused when he heard this, then slowly looked up at Hu Lanying. He swallowed and nodded slowly!

"Okay, I'm here, don't be afraid!" Hu Lanying stared at Nangong Lingzhi with a smile.

Then he stood up and said to the steward: "How much silver? I'll buy it!"

The steward rolled his eyes and said, "Five hundred taels!"

"Five hundred taels? Why don't you go and rob him? Young master, let's just forget it. In my opinion, he is here to cheat us out of our money." The maidservant next to her said angrily to the manager without waiting for Hu Lanying to speak.

As a result, the manager whipped the cage twice without saying anything. Hu Lanying hurried over to stop him: "Stop, don't hit him!"

Seeing the steward backing away, Hu Lanying looked back at Nangong Lingzhi and took a deep breath: "Five hundred taels is five hundred taels, Xiu'er will give it to him!"

So Nangong Lingzhi was released and followed Hu Lanying out of the slave farm!

Looking at the bustling streets with people coming and going, Nangong Lingzhi hesitated and felt uneasy. He looked up at the sky. The sun was blinding, so he closed his eyes and slowly opened them after a long time.

Hu Lanying walked in front with a swagger.

"NG!" said the director.

The actor stopped, and Jian Xia turned around to see Wang Xudong and the assistant director whispering to each other at the screen, but she couldn't hear clearly.

The assistant director stood up and walked to Tang Ling and said something, then directed the others to adjust their positions and movements, and then came back to continue reshooting.

Jian Xia quickly pondered the scene in her mind, including the performance details of the male and female protagonists.

We shot this short scene over and over again for an hour and a half, and it still hasn’t passed!

Finally, the director frowned and shouted, "Shoot separately, starting from the purchase! The male and female protagonists look at each other. Tang Ling, you must remember that you are a runaway. As a woman, you suddenly bought this person. Don't you need to think about it? There must be a change in your state of mind!"

Apart from the director's roar, the scene was completely silent!

Jian Xia's legs were sore from standing, and she was really tired after learning dance all day, so she quietly left the set and returned to the hotel.

Thinking about Director Wang's filming today, and how Tang Ling kept losing his temper because he couldn't find his state, she suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Lying on the bed, I began to think about how to present every detail. Finally, I ran directly to the bathroom and practiced in front of the mirror over and over again, how to smile, how to look at people, how to move my hands and feet, and every move I practiced several times!

After all, she had watched the special-effect camera up close today, and even the details of the actor's blinking and the enlargement and reduction of his nostrils were captured clearly.

This also made Jian Xia feel that being an actor is not easy. One must be able to absolutely control all of his or her performance in front of the camera, and it must be both beautiful and natural.

And this kind of beauty is not the beauty of appearance or clothing, but the beauty of drama!

This is why some actresses may not have the most outstanding facial features, but when you watch them acting, you just feel comfortable and think they are good-looking, because they have a sense of drama and can present it well!

Jian Xia thought about the performance of the male and female protagonists. Even though the male protagonist was dirty and messy, he was "beautiful" in front of the camera, making the audience feel comfortable and immersed in the play!

Although the heroine looks clean and fresh, she has too many traces of acting. In the camera, she looks "ugly" to the audience, with messy facial features, unnatural and unsmooth expressions, which makes her look uncomfortable!

"It seems that a good actor can make the audience immersed in the play at first sight! The beauty and ugliness in the camera are the real drama!" Jian Xia suddenly smiled at the mirror.

"This scene was not watched in vain! Hahaha, I know how to act now!" Jian Xia smiled happily! She even blew a kiss to herself in the mirror!

Perhaps she had a new understanding. The next day, she went to the dance studio, put on her dance costume, and danced that dance again. It was as if she was suddenly infused with soul!

Although she has no decorations and is completely without makeup, her every frown and smile is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off her!

Her figure is graceful, elegant like a fairy, and every movement contains the charm of a thousand years. When she raises her eyes, she carries Xi Yan's emotions and thoughts, making her a charming and favored concubine!

He Xin sent the video of Jian Xia's dance rehearsal to Yan Ning: "Sister Ning, look, it's only Jian Xia's second day! Isn't she amazing? Even the teacher couldn't help but marvel at her talent!"

Yan Ning watched Jian Xia's dance carefully and immediately forwarded the video to Wang Xudong: "Old Wang, someone broke the news online that Jian Xia will star in "The Rise of the Sky". Now Jian Xia is on the hot search list and the discussion volume is quite high. I thought, I should edit this video and take advantage of this popularity to promote Jian Xia and your drama!"

Wang Xudong had just finished filming a scene and was taking a break to drink some water when he saw his phone flash. He opened it and saw Yan Ning’s words first.

“Who leaked it?”

"What's wrong, director?" Assistant Xiao Yan asked immediately.

Wang Xudong ignored the assistant because he was completely attracted by Jian Xia in the video.

Although it can be seen that Jian Xia's dance is still a little lacking in body coordination compared to professional dancers, it is already quite good overall.

The most important thing is that Jian Xia's eyes and demeanor are exactly what he wants from the stunning singer Xi Yan!

Think of singing and dancing at the same time. Even if you can't sing and dance on the spot, you have to match your lip movements.

So he immediately contacted the arranger teacher he had made an appointment with before.

Let Jian Xia get familiar with the song. She only has half a month and her role is not small. He also plans to see Jian Xia's performance. If it's good, he can add two more scenes!

Make this character more full!

For the first time, my heart finally settled down!

"It's up to you. As for Jian Xia's stills, I can only take more photos for her after I finish my work." Wang Xudong replied to Yan Ning.

Promoting the drama, especially with a big traffic like Jian Xia, will definitely be beneficial to him!

Yan Ning was also very helpful. She gave the video to Ni Ke and she did some simple processing.

Posted on Jian Xia's Weibo, with the caption:

"I have to be discharged early to save the situation. I have been practicing dancing for less than 48 hours! Come and check it out!"

Then she posted a video of her dancing!

Once it was released, netizens and fans who were already speculating were instantly blown away!

[Oh my god! Is this Jian Xia? Is this the scene to save "The Sky's Awakening"? So it's officially announced? ]

[Oh my god! If I’m not mistaken, Jian Xia is going to play Xi Yan’s favorite concubine? ]

[Ahhhh, my Jianbao, has changed from a cute girl to a charming concubine? 】

[Xi Yan? Oh my god, she's the stunning singer, the source of the divine fire! ]

[I suddenly look forward to "The Rise of the Sky". I originally thought that Wang Xudong's adaptation would fail, but Xi Yan, if Jian Xia plays the role, it will be great! ]

【Ahhhh, I support this too! 】

[It’s only been less than 48 hours, sisters, Jian Xia is really amazing, right? Are you sure she has no basic knowledge? ]

[I am a professional classical dancer. Jian Xia's body is indeed a little stiff, but her demeanor is very good, so it makes up for this little problem.]

[Ahhhh, Xi Yan! I can do it! Support "The Ang of the Sky"]

[This drama has had a lot of bad luck since its filming began. Although Director Wang Xudong has a bad temper, he is really good at choosing roles! Just looking at this dance, Jian Xia is indeed very suitable for Xi Yan! This face is worthy of the original novel's words "Drunken Five Emperors, Bringing Trouble to Six Kingdoms"! ]
