Chapter 217: Unable to bear the pressure and ran away

Jinli got a half-hour break.

She didn't waste it and decided to watch the performance of the veteran actor.

She had seen it before, but couldn't see anything special. She just felt that their acting was natural and couldn't be imitated at all.

But as she experienced the role of Vera more deeply and felt the acting skills of her predecessors from the perspective of the character, Jinli gained new insights.

It’s not that she can’t imitate, but if she imitates the performance of veteran actors, her imitation will only be weird.

Because these people's performances are no longer based on skills, but on emotions. Every performance of the veteran actors is based on the roles.

That is to say, every smile, expression and tone of voice... are only limited to that role.

So even if she tried to imitate it, it would only look weird.

Because the performance of veteran actors is not about skills, but about their understanding of the role, and their performance specifically for that role.

"Jinli!"

Ren Changtao came over and asked curiously, "Did you find anything?"

Jinli nodded: "I feel like I can understand why the old actor performed like this."

Ren Changtao exclaimed: "You are really talented in acting. I have watched their performances for so long, but I just can't figure out why they perform like that. I simulated it many times in my mind, but I can never be as smooth as them.

Every time I see them, I feel like they are characters in a script, so real! This makes me a little scared, and sometimes I don’t dare to chat with them. ”

Jinli smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. I understand them from the perspective of the characters. You can also try to put yourself in the shoes of a playboy and look at it from the perspective of the characters in the script. Maybe you will have different discoveries."

Ren Changtao couldn't help but say, "Jinli, although I play a arrogant and domineering playboy, my real personality is not like that, so I think it's a bit difficult for you to put me in the role."

Jinli couldn't help but look at him more.

She said calmly: "Then I can only do nothing to help."

"Sister Jinli!" Chen Qin rushed over and forcefully intervened between Jinli and Ren Changtao.

"Come on, draw a lot and see what we're going to eat tonight."

Chen Qin took out the fortune stick box, glanced at Ren Changtao, and silently took out the scriptures and books, preparing to recite the sutras.

Ren Changtao paused and took a few steps away from Chen Qin.

He didn't want to listen to her chanting at all!

After Ren Changtao left, Chen Qin stopped reciting. Unexpectedly, Jinli looked at her with interest and said, "Are you interested in Taoist scriptures?"

Chen Qin said with great joy: "After all, I used to sell flowers in front of Longhu Temple. I was influenced by Taoism. Whenever I felt lost, I would take out the scriptures and read them, thinking that they could guide me."

Jinli nodded: "That makes sense, please continue reading."

Chen Qin was confused: "What?"

Jinli smiled brightly at her and casually pulled out a stick from the stick holder, on which was written "Steamed Spare Ribs with Rice Flour".

She handed it to Chen Qin and said, "I like to listen to it. You are right. You can read it to me whenever you want. Maybe because of your piety, the gods will bless you with smooth sailing."

Chen Qin: …

She just wanted to get rid of Ren Changtao and had no other ideas.

But since Jinli likes to listen...

A hint of determination flashed across Chen Qin's eyes, and she recited it every day whether she had something to do or not!
An all-round assistant who can meet all the needs of customers! -
Jinli's filming went smoothly, but Gu Cheng's filming was difficult.

At this time, a week had passed since the first day of filming.

But Li Xiu'e, who plays the female lead in high school, always can't get into the state.

It's not that he acts too scared. He just makes a horrified expression even though the scary scene hasn't happened yet.

She just acted too panicked, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

In order to help her get over the psychological hurdle, Yan Jianqiao had no choice but to accompany her over and over again.

What is very uncoincidental is that although Li Xiu'e and Gu Cheng did not have any one-on-one scenes in the early stages, Gu Cheng always played the role of a passerby.

In every shot of hers, she would capture Gu Cheng's back or profile, or show one arm, etc.

That means that when Li Xiu'e was grinding, Gu Cheng could only accompany her to grind over and over again.

Gu Cheng didn't say anything and continued to accompany him as usual.

The director thought about not using a body double, but Gu Cheng rejected it. This was his first play and he felt it was unnecessary.

However, Gu Cheng's assistant, Xiao Tong, was somewhat dissatisfied, because Gu Cheng always worked overtime to film and his rest time was severely compressed.

After other actors finish filming, they can return to the hotel to rest.

But after Gu Cheng finished filming, he had to rush to the next Marchday group announcement.

If the leading actress' acting skills were a little less bad, Gu Cheng would have been able to get more time to rest.

The little boy looked at the dark circles under his eyes, and felt a little sorry for him.

He openly complained many times on the set: "The high school heroine chosen by the director is too unreliable!
It’s been a week, and not even one of the big scenes in the script has been finished. How long has it been stuck in the Joker game? At this rate, I’m afraid it will take a month to finish the Joker game!”

Xiao Tong is an assistant, and most of the people around him are assistants to celebrities, or staff members who have some free time and come to watch the show.

Because he did not hide it, it didn't take long for the entire crew to know about Assistant Gu Cheng's dissatisfaction.

Everyone has been in the crew for a long time, and everyone is a smart person. How could they not understand what the person behind the child meant?
Gu Cheng was clearly using reason to express his dissatisfaction!

They are not naive enough to think that the assistant's personal behavior has nothing to do with the star.

In fact, Gu Cheng can still hold on and has the patience to wait.

It was Brother Guang who lost his patience.

After learning from Xiaotong that the crew's progress was very slow, Brother Guang became a little restless.

How much does it cost for one of our own artists to run an announcement?
How much does the new actress Li Xiu'e make?

Gu Cheng's time is calculated by seconds. Rest time is a luxury for a rising star like him.

He finally managed to get some rest time for Gu Cheng on the crew, but ended up becoming a whetstone for other actors.

Just one question: Does she deserve it?
Therefore, the little boy’s complaints outside were actually secretly instigated by Brother Guang.

As for Gu Cheng, his personal opinion is not that important. In addition to being the male lead of the drama, he is more of a member of the popular boy band March Day.

His personal opinion is not as important as the team's.

According to Tianding Entertainment’s concept of cultivating boy bands, every member must make concessions for the team, and only when the entire team is prosperous can every member benefit.

Gu Cheng is like this, as are Yan Xingdong, Luo Yi and Chen Lin.

The child's complaint at most let the crew members know which direction the wind was blowing, but no matter what, the direction of the crew was in the hands of the director after all.

The bad thing was that when Li Xiu'e was filming in the afternoon, she accidentally overheard the crew members' idle chatter and learned that Gu Cheng's team was dissatisfied with her, and her psychological pressure suddenly increased.

This was reflected in her performance, she seemed even more nervous!

In this scene, Li Feifei, played by Li Xiu'e, curiously follows her classmates to the clown game venue, which is an empty rooftop.

Because she didn't have a ticket to watch the clown game, the students guarding the door refused to let her in.

Li Xiu'e had an idea and ran to another taller teaching building and used the roof of the higher building to look at the roof of the lower building.

When she saw what the so-called clown game was like, she was terrified from the bottom of her heart to her body, and she screamed because of the overly exciting game content!

At this time, Li Xiu'e had already reached the roof of a higher building.

On the other side, the actors were also in place on other rooftops, and the crew was shooting in two scenes, A and B.

Yan Jianqiao was in charge of Scene A, which was the scene where Li Xiu'e's expression was filmed.

Just as the filming started, Li Xiu'e poked her head out and looked down at what was happening on the other rooftops. She couldn't help but scream: "Ah!!"

"Crack!"

Yan Jianqiao frowned and said, "You have to wait until they put the iron crown on their heads before you scream. I don't ask you to time it just right, but you can't do it so early. They will only start to slap you when they are done."

Li Xiu'e trembled and whispered, "I'm sorry, Director. I...I'm so sorry."

Yan Jianqiao tried to calm himself down and said, "Take a five-minute break and continue filming later."

Group A was taking a break, but Group B had no problems and could continue filming.

The two scenes don’t need to be shot at the same time, they can be put together in post-production editing, but he wanted to shoot a large-frame background.

To combine the two scenes into the same shot, a unity is needed.

Normally, this kind of filming is very simple and the actors only need to act. However, looking at Li Xiu'e's current appearance, Yan Jianqiao became a little skeptical.

Can you really pretend to be one?

After shooting over and over again for a whole morning, this scene was finally finished. Yan Jianqiao looked at the content in the camera with a serious expression.

He personally has no obsession with long or short shots, and does not pursue unique or extreme performance effects.

But as a director, he still has requirements for the pictures.

This was his first play as a director and he also participated in the investment. If Li Xiu'e continued to perform like this, he felt that the early stage of this play would not be exciting.

Just when Yan Jianqiao wanted to talk to Li Xiu'e, Li Xiu'e came over first, sobbing with tears in her eyes:

"Director, why don't you just fire me!"

Yan Jianqiao looked solemn: "Do you know what you are saying? As an actor, you voluntarily give up acting? This is an insult to your career!"

Li Xiu'e covered her face and cried, "But I really can't continue filming. I, I... Gu Cheng doesn't like my performance either. Everyone thinks my acting is bad and it delays the crew's progress. I'm under a lot of pressure and can't sleep well every day. I don't want this to happen!"

Yan Jianqiao: "Gu Cheng?"

What does this have to do with Gu Cheng?

After listening to Li Xiu'e's half-sobbing and half-choking words, Yan Jianqiao realized that the news had spread in the crew.

To be honest, the little boy was not wrong.

Li Xiu'e could no longer get into the right state, which not only wasted Gu Cheng's time, but also the time of all the crew members.

But she is a new actor after all, and Yan Jianqiao feels that she is photogenic and has a lot to show.

He also wants to discover unique actors like those famous directors.

So even though Li Xiu'e's acting skills were poor, he still taught her patiently.

Yan Jianqiao waited until she could stop crying before asking, "So you heard other people's complaints and felt very unwilling, so you wanted to leave the crew?"

Li Xiu'e calmed down a little, lowered her head and said nothing.

Yan Jianqiao said calmly: "I don't understand your idea. The crew spent a week on you, and everyone's work was delayed. If your acting skills are not good, no one will say anything. You just need to study hard.

But you are not like that. You have always had poor psychological quality. The crew is not a place for playing house. Since you have accepted this drama, you have to shoot it well.

Whether the filming is good or bad, it's up to you. I am also under a lot of pressure. I can't go to Gu Cheng just because of your complaints, and I can't stop others from talking.

Because in my eyes, this is not slander, but the truth. If you are not convinced, then act well, hold your breath and act, so that everyone can see your growth. "

Li Xiu'e still kept her head down and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Yan Jianqiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

For the first time, he thought, is it really wrong to discover new talents, or are new directors destined to be unable to lead new talents?
Li Xiu'e was the female lead he personally selected for his high school years, and she perfectly matched her imagination of the character in the script.

Even though his acting skills are immature, Yan Jianqiao thinks he might as well give it a try because he is highly suited to the role.

But now, just a little bit of pressure has made her cry, and other staff members haven’t started to bully her yet!
In the end, it’s still unclear. Does she want Gu Cheng to apologize to her?

Yan Jianqiao said indifferently: "Think about it carefully. I'll give you a day off today. You don't have to film yet. You can come back tomorrow to film."

Li Xiu'e left in silence.

Yan Jianqiao sincerely hopes that she can keep herself in good shape and not be overwhelmed by the pressure.

But tomorrow -

Li Xiu'e left the crew!
When the news got out, the crew members were a little surprised.

She just ran away like that?
As a new actress, and just an art school student, she was able to act with a well-known first-line star like Gu Cheng. Strictly speaking, Gu Cheng was playing a supporting role to her, but she actually gave up like that?

Yan Jianqiao was so angry that he wanted to call and curse someone!
But the crew couldn't stop filming just because one person was absent. They had to spend money every day, so he asked the assistant director to urgently shoot the less important outdoor scenes.

Fortunately, the heroine’s role in high school is not that important, and the other characters also have a lot of roles, so I can still handle it.

When the little boy learned that Li Xiu'e had run away, he was speechless and his expression was a little awkward all morning.

After Gu Cheng finished filming the morning scene, during the lunch break, the little boy quietly walked up to him and asked cautiously, "Brother Gu, did I do something wrong?"

Gu Cheng glanced at him and said, "What did you do wrong?"

The little boy didn't notice the change in his tone and whispered, "I shouldn't have said bad things about Li Xiu'e in private. I didn't expect her to have such a poor psychological tolerance. She couldn't stand being criticized for a few words and ran away."

Gu Cheng said calmly: "Running away may not be a bad thing."

The little boy was stunned.

Although Gu Cheng didn't care, he acquiesced to what Xiao Tong said. The busy schedule didn't allow him to continue like this, and he needed a break. I asked the operations officer to send 30 small red envelopes to everyone.
