Chapter 657: Chapter 659 Filming (4)
Soon, the director had mostly finished his instructions, with the actors still undergoing their final trials. The first ti around, things were fine at the start during the playful scenes, but once it got to the serious parts —
Yu Sixing was right, Xue Feifei was indeed a thod actor. She had studied interior design in college, which has nothing to do with acting for film and television. After she entered the entertainnt industry, on the one hand, her foundational skills were quite good, so her understanding was high. On the other hand, she heavily prepared herself after receiving a script and would periodically take courses—for example, during the month that she was kept inactive, she learned dance to pass the ti. Over the years, she participated in a number of acting training programs, never boasting about being very outstanding, but in the sea of crudely made web series, her performances were already quite remarkable.
It was the sa this ti, as the film was adapted from a novel. Before she auditioned, she had thoroughly read the novel and even created detailed character biographies. Therefore, even though she was a last-minute replacent, her performance was consistently excellent and any unexpected parts she grasped imdiately. But then ca this boat scene…
The performance continued, and in the next scene, Xue Feifei, who was playing the second female lead, was to tease the male lead. But as Xue Feifei approached, she rembered Yu Sixing’s words, particularly the line, “I don’t mind if you use the skills you’ve learned on at night.” Her brow wrinkled imperceptibly, which delayed her actions by a few seconds.
“CUT!” Such a small hesitation may not seem like much to an outsider, but through the lens, it was magnified countless tis and the director imdiately called for a pause.
Huang Mi, still smiling, comforted her, “Are you not used to performing like this? Indeed, this part requires you to take the lead. No worries, only the two of us are in this scene; we can take our ti.”
“I’m sorry, Teacher Huang.” Xue Feifei quickly adjusted her mood and ntally rehearsed once more. They started shooting the second take.
But every ti she substituted Huang Mi’s face for Yu Sixing’s in her mind, rembered everything Yu Sixing had done to her, and thought about his words, her feelings imdiately disappeared.
“CUT!”
The venerable Director Zhao paused the scene and began another lecture, “You need to understand, at this point you have to take the initiative. Also, you should know deep down that this might be your last chance. Maybe blood will flow like a river the next day. You have to have that sense of urgency, that feeling of risking it all. For example, like you are right now…”
Over there, Lu Weixi, who had been on the phone for a long ti, walked in quietly. Clearly, her call with Qin Zhiyou didn’t go well.
Qin Zhiyou had indicated that after they finished discussing things the night before, he would co over this morning. Yet just a mont ago, he said he had a dinner engagent that evening.
If he had a dinner party tonight, then he could only co tomorrow at the earliest. But what use would that be? She was going back tomorrow afternoon.
At first, she was a bit impatient, wanting to see how Qin Zhiyou would react to his old companion, Xiang Yirou. But now, his not even coming was more annoying.
Even though she knew that with Qin Zhiyou, work always ca first.
“Zhiyou can’t make it?”
Yu Sixing could tell that Lu Weixi was not pleased and asked imdiately.
Lu Weixi paused for a mont and then nodded, “He has work. He’s doing everything by himself. I understand.”
