517 He Didn’t Know If Jiang Xun Could Act Well
She only had 170000 merit points left, which was definitely not enough to unlock all the dance skills.
Jiang Xun put this mission aside for the time being and went to look at all the acting skills that she had just unlocked.
The unlocked acting skills were transmitted to Jiang Xun through her consciousness. Jiang Xun closed her eyes and took a long time to digest and absorb all these new skills.
She had finished filming her scenes for the day and was resting at the hotel.
She didn’t know if it was because the movie was divided into three parts and she didn’t have many scenes, therefore, it was much easier than filming a TV series.
She had only been filming for the entire morning and returned to the hotel to rest in the afternoon.
Jiang Xun took advantage of the afternoon to digest and absorb the skills she had just obtained.
She then experimented with various performance methods.
While Jiang Xun was studying the acting skills in the acting skills book…
Yu Bingbing was also investigating who leaked the news that Jiang Xun had gone to meet the investors with Mufeng.
However, no matter how he investigated, he only found the paparazzi who followed them and revealed the news. He could not find any evidence that someone had deliberately plotted against Jiang Xun.
Although Bingbing suspected it was Youlan, if the audition video didn’t come out in the end, Jiang Xun would become labeled as the person who snatched Youlan’s role.
Youlan was the victim and would receive all the sympathy.
Mingguan would also have become a director who only looked at one’s background and not ability.
If it succeeded, the only one who would benefit from this would be Youlan.
However, he could not find any evidence.
Bingbing frowned. As a top hacker in China and even the world, he could do whatever he wanted on the internet, but he couldn’t find any evidence.
Mufeng also knew that Bingbing was a hacker.
Bingbing’s hacker identity couldn’t be hidden from Mufeng, so he simply told him directly.
They could work together in the future.
After knowing that Bingbing couldn’t find anything, Mufeng also arranged for people to investigate.
The result was the same as Bingbing.
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t find the evidence,” Mufeng said to Bingbing and Chengnan. “It’s fine as long as we know who did it. Keep a close eye on Su Youlan in the future.”

On Tuesday, Jiang Xun came to the crew again.
Mingguan explained the scene to her.
This scene was about Niannian’s colleague being caught after her identity was revealed. After her colleague was caught, the car she was in happened to pass by Niannian’s house, and Niannian peeked at it.
“After you finish this scene, the next scene will be you being invited to visit your colleague in prison as a reporter. You will take photos of him being tortured in prison and publish them in the newspapers to warn his colleagues who are hiding in the dark. This is the first time you’re facing the consequences of being caught, so you can show your fear appropriately. When you get out of prison, immediately rush to the side and vomit.”
As Mingguan spoke, he led Jiang Xun around. “When you vomit at this position, you have to break down and vomit all your emotions out.”
“When the time comes, the videographer will give you a close-up shot of your face. Jiang Xun, you must express your emotions on your face,” Mingguan said. “You have to keep your eyes open. You must feel very complicated after your colleague suffered such inhumane abuse.”
“When you see him in prison, you can’t acknowledge him, but you can’t show that you have nothing to do with him. You can’t be cold-blooded and heartless, do you understand?”
Jiang Xun nodded. “In the eyes of others, I’m just an ordinary newspaper reporter. Even if I don’t know my colleague in prison, as an ordinary reporter, I should be shocked to see him suffer inhumane torture. That’s why I think that Luo Niannian didn’t dare to show any signs of abnormality when she saw her colleague at first. However, when she saw him being tortured, she couldn’t help but have a mental breakdown.”
“In the beginning, she restrained herself, but later on, she couldn’t control herself. However, she thought that a breakdown should be a normal reaction when she couldn’t control herself, so she simply gave up. And this is the most normal reaction in the eyes of those people.”
“Although Luo Niannian’s reaction was big, she didn’t dare to show any signs of grief.” Jiang Xun thought for a while and said, “I think she went to the side to vomit after she came out from the prison. One reason is that she really couldn’t hold it in and it was an instinctive physiological reaction. The other reason is that she probably couldn’t hold it in anymore and wanted to cry, so she bent over anxiously and used the opportunity to vomit and cry a little to relieve herself.”
“Of course, she didn’t dare to cry out loud. She just couldn’t hold it in and was afraid of exposing herself, so she cried a little while she vomited.” Jiang Xun pointed at her eyes. “When people vomit badly, they will cry uncontrollably. This is a normal physiological reaction. Maybe that’s what she thought at the time?”
Mingguan was pleasantly surprised. “That’s right. Just act according to your idea. Let’s try it out first and then make adjustments.”
Jiang Xun’s scene yesterday was not difficult, so she passed it on her first try.
Mingguan had deliberately chosen a relatively simple scene yesterday to let Jiang Xun experience the difference between a movie and a TV series.
However, since it was not difficult and Jiang Xun only had to experience the difference first, her performance passed smoothly.
However, he couldn’t just give Jiang Xun some simple performances all the time.
She would have to act in the more difficult parts sooner or later.
Today’s scene was one of the more difficult ones. It was the scene that Mingguan and Jiang Xun had just discussed.
Mingguan was actually quite nervous. He didn’t know if Jiang Xun could act well.
But at least Jiang Xun had a thorough understanding of the character. Moreover, Jiang Xun had been able to succeed in her first show as an inexperienced layman, which showed that she had great talent in acting.
Mingguan felt that even if Jiang Xun couldn’t master the performance in the movie at the beginning, she should be able to understand it after he taught her.
Therefore, Mingguan didn’t expect Jiang Xun to succeed in one take.
Furthermore, even Shuidong and Gu Fei would not be able to pass the scene in one go.
Especially when it came to this kind of performance that required very delicate emotions, it required many tries before he could choose the one he was satisfied with.
Mingguan planned to let Jiang Xun try it out first to see where she was lacking. Then, he would polish her bit by bit and change some of Jiang Xun’s inherent acting thought process caused by acting in TV dramas.
“Come, let’s start with the first scene. Jiang Xun, stand by the window and watch the car that’s escorting your colleague pass by.”
It was four o’clock in the morning. The sky was still dark.
A crescent moon hung in the sky, but there was no sound on the street.
Jiang Xun stood by the window and made preparations.
“Drive the car over!” Mingguan commanded.
…
This scene was about people from the Sixth Bureau going to arrest Niannian’s colleague in the middle of the night.
The crew didn’t let the actors stay up until midnight.
Instead, they started work earlier, just in time for the sky to brighten up after the shoot.
