Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 138, All Can Roll
Who would have thought that Huang Xiaoming, who has always been criticized by the industry for his terrible acting skills and relying solely on his looks, could be so powerful once he explodes.

Duan Yihong was the one who felt it the most deeply.

In just three or four minutes of plot, he felt like he was on a roller coaster ride.

That feeling is so shocking.

Just now, whenever Han Xin, played by him, and Zhang Han, played by Huang Xiaoming, looked at each other, he always had an urge to turn his head away.

Duan Yihong knew that he was being suppressed.

Before this, he had only experienced a similar feeling when acting with Chen Daoming.

After leaving the set, Duan Yihong felt a little emotional.

"You can't... No, Xiaoming's appearance is very good, but his acting skills are really immeasurable."

He walked up to Zhou Mo and asked him to play the performance they had just performed.

Zhou Mo had no objection, so he took out the finished product and showed it to Duan Yihong again.

After a moment, Duan Yihong stared at the screen, speechless.

Zhou Mo asked: "Brother Hong, what do you think?"

Duan Yihong rubbed his temple with a troubled look on his face.

"See the problem?" Zhou Mo said with a smile.

"This comparison is too..."

Duan Yihong was somewhat speechless.

He originally thought that he had overestimated Huang Xiaoming's acting skills, but the actual situation was more serious than he imagined.

In the finished footage just shot, whenever he looked into the camera, the first person he saw was Huang Xiaoming, not himself.

This situation can only prove one thing, that Huang Xiaoming was too powerful just now and completely suppressed himself.

"Especially the emotional catharsis from anger to sadness, it's amazing." Duan Yihong pointed at Huang Xiaoming on the screen, whose eyes were red but who didn't cry, and sighed in his heart.

Huang Xiaoming's performance just now reminded him of someone.

Baby Wang.

Duan Yihong has always admired Wang Baobao's smoking action in "Mr. Tree". That scene left a deep impression on him, so he had to take it out and appreciate it again.

Now, it looks like there will be one more shot of this kind.

Zhou Mo comforted him, "Brother Hong, don't be discouraged. Your feeling just now was not entirely due to your acting skills. It also had something to do with the camera. I deliberately shifted the camera towards Xiaoming, which was also a kind of preferential treatment for the character of Zhang Han."

Duan Yihong shook his head.

"Director Zhou, you are too polite. Xiaoming's acting skills have indeed exceeded my expectations. I hope to have more opportunities to work with him in the future."

He is still very open-minded and will not lose confidence because of one performance.

Zhou Mo was relieved to see that Duan Yihong was relatively calm.

He did not suggest letting Duan Yihong and Huang Xiaoming have another match.

The actors' states of mind also have ups and downs. As for the acting skills Huang Xiaoming just displayed, according to Zhou Mo's calculations, it was already the peak of his emotional outburst in recent times.

It includes the emotions he has accumulated since the release of "The Ordinary Man", as well as the skills that have been elevated after acting with Chen Daoming.

Although Duan Yihong might perform better if he does it again, there is a high probability that Huang Xiaoming will not be able to reach his previous level.

Every director hopes to be able to capture those classic shots.

The same is true for Zhou Mo.

Based on the footage just now, he felt that as long as he did some PUA properly, he would be able to rely on Huang Xiaoming for the rest of his life.

Patting Duan Yihong on the shoulder, he said, "Okay, if there's a chance in the future, I'll put together another table for the two of you. But Brother Hong, don't just think about your collaboration with Xiaoming. Don't forget that you still have a follow-up show with Teacher Chen this afternoon."

Hearing this, Duan Yihong, who had been relatively calm, suddenly put on a mask of pain.

hiss--

……

After a while, Zhou Mo looked at Duan Yihong's departing back, called his assistant, and gave him a few instructions.

"You do this and that, and that and that..."

After listening to this, the assistant nodded and left.

Half a day later, a piece of gossip suddenly spread among the crew.

“Because Huang Xiaoming’s previous performance was so amazing, Zhou Mo deliberately left more camera space for Huang Xiaoming during the filming.

Director Zhou will probably give more shots to actors with good performances during the next filming."

Previously, some actors who had watched Huang Xiaoming's scene perked up when they heard the news.

Many of them are actors who have good acting skills but do not have many plots in the movie.
At this moment, they were eager to know whether the information was true or not.

In the past, there was an unspoken rule in the industry that as a supporting actor, when acting with the protagonist, you should not show yourself too much.

After all, entertainment companies invest in movies to promote their own leading actors and actresses.

If in a movie, the protagonist is always overshadowed by the supporting roles, it is obvious that the film company cannot achieve its goal of promoting the star.

Therefore, some veteran actors tend to hold back on their performances when filming.

At the same time, the director's camera will shift more towards the protagonist.

So many times, it’s not that they can’t act well, but that they can’t act well.

This is called forced pulling.

There is no actor who doesn't care about his or her scenes on the screen. Often, even a slight change in light can create a classic image.

Not to mention the lens space.

One point more or one point less will make a huge difference.

Now, if this news is true, doesn’t it mean that they also have the opportunity to fully display themselves like Huang Xiaoming?

So, this group of people went to Duan Yihong's room to find out the truth.

"Old Duan, have you seen Director Zhou's footage? I want to ask if the news is true?"

Duan Yihong had received news from Zhou Mo a long time ago. At this moment, seeing so many people coming to ask him, he felt a dark sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Roll it up, roll it up.

Roll up quickly, and hurt each other.

I can’t be the only one to bear the pain of being suppressed in the past.

Duan Yihong nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaoming acted really well. So Director Zhou gave him more screen time."

When saying this, Duan Yihong pretended to look regretful.

As if sighing that he had become a cushion.

When several people heard the exact answer, a desire to fight burned in their hearts.

But on the surface he still pretended to be regretful.

"Old Duan, it's okay. You still have a lot of plots to go on. It will be fine."

Duan Yihong waved his hands, looking calm.

In fact, I was almost laughing inside.

Look at who's in front of you.

Wei Zongwan, Ni Dahong, Huang Zhizhong, Yang Lixin (Xiao He)…

Each of you, show all your strength and torture each other.

……

Just when a group of people went to Duan Yihong's room to find out the truth.

At the same time, Zhou Mo was talking on the phone with Da Tiantian.

"Did the filming go smoothly over there?"

"It went very smoothly. I just made a cameo appearance and the filming was completed two days ago."

"So how was your time on the set?"

"Don't worry, Brother Zheng and the others are taking good care of me. Brother Bo is a very nice person. And Brother Bao taught me a few martial arts moves a few days ago. I have already learned how to do the horse stance..."

Zhou Mo listened quietly to Da Tiantian's report, occasionally interjecting a word or two to show that he was listening.

After a moment, Da Tiantian suddenly mentioned: "Speaking of which, there are a lot of delicious food and attractions in Sawadee Ka, especially the Pattaya. Some time ago, a few people from the crew went there to play, but I didn't go. I heard that there is something there, and I don't like it very much..."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows.

He had also heard of the name of the Pattaya and was indeed a little curious.

I'll find an opportunity to go and gain some new experience.

It just so happened that he actually had a few movies in his mind that were shot in Sawadee Ka.

"Forget about it if you didn't go. There are still many other attractions in Sawadee Kathmandu that you can visit. But remember to bring someone with you before you go."

Da Tiantian: "Yes, there are many sea views here, all very beautiful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mo's cell phone suddenly rang.

Open the message.

Da Tiantian sent him a selfie.

In the photo, Da Tiantian is in a hotel room, wearing a cool swimsuit, two pieces, with circles and triangles.

There was a layer of white sand covering his body, making the lines of his body appear faintly visible.

"hiss……"

Zhou Mo was excited for a moment, then he suddenly thought of something and frowned.

"Is this what you wore to the beach?"

When Da Tiantian heard Zhou Mo's low voice, she giggled and felt secretly happy.

"No, I just bought it to try it out in my room. The sun is too strong at Sawadee Beach, and this outfit is too damaging to my skin. I always wear casual clothes when I go to the beach."

Zhou Mo also noticed the teasing in Da Tiantian's voice and coughed lightly.

"By the way, I will send you a script in a while, you can take a look at it, and then you can come back in June. Don't have too much fun and forget that you still have a role in Chu and Han."

Da Tiantian readily agreed: "Don't worry, Boss Zhou, I'll be back soon."

The two chatted for a few more words.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Mo was about to send the information about "Lucy" to Da Tiantian.

The door rang.

"Director Zhou, can I come in for a moment?"
