526 You Don’t Think I’m Arrogant
Shuixin and Xuyi discussed it with each other and decided to come to the crew in the name of visiting the set and shoot with the other three pairs of guests.
Shuixin and Xuyi had never expected that they would need to ride on other people’s popularity one day.
Jiang Xun nodded and did not show much enthusiasm. “Then we’ll go eat first. We have to hurry to the set later.”
Jiang Xun had a movie to shoot and had joined such a big crew for “Under The Starry Sky,” yet she was showing off to her?
Shuixin was filled with hatred in her heart, but she had to smile and ask Jiang Xun to eat quickly.
With Mufeng around, Shuixin and Xuyi did not dare to follow.
As for Jiang Xun, she didn’t care how Shuixin would visit the set or when she would go to the set. She would simply let Shuixin and Xuyi do whatever they wanted.
After Jiang Xun and Mufeng finished breakfast, they went to the set.
Today, Jiang Xun was going to shoot the last scene of the execution.
She went to the dressing room to do her makeup and change into her costume.
At this time, Niannian had already been tortured in prison.
She was still wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she was taken away last night.
But the difference was that she was dressed neatly yesterday, while she was covered in scars today.
For this reason, the props team had specially modified the clothes.
It was stained with blood and dirt, and it looked like it had been whipped.
After Jiang Xun put it on, the makeup artist drew scars on her skin where the whip marks were.
It wasn’t Jiang Xun’s part yet, so she was still waiting.
It took more than an hour before it was Jiang Xun’s turn.
Because Youlan had too many bad takes in the previous scene, the shooting progress was delayed.
Mingguan had a bad temper when he was filming, and he was used to Jiang Xun’s single takes.
Today, Su Youlan’s scene was so simple, but she couldn’t act it well. Mingguan stood up angrily and said loudly, “Alright, we’ll all act with you today! We’ll act until you pass! We’ll shoot the next scene when you’re done acting! We’ll just let the other teachers wait here!”
Youlan’s face turned pale and her eyes reddened. “Director, you have double-standards! Yesterday, you told Jiang Xun that if she couldn’t do it well in one day, it would be fine to shoot for a few more days. When it comes to me, there are only a few bad takes, and you…”
Mingguan was even angrier when he heard that. “Jiang Xun’s previous shots were all done in one take. Which of yours was one take? If you passed the other scenes in one take, I won’t rush you for this one. I’ll accompany you until you’re good! Besides, your scene is so simple. If it were Jiang Xun, she could also pass it in one take. Jiang Xun is going to act in the most difficult execution scene, so it will be normal if she can’t pass a few! You’re comparing your scene to the execution scene?”
“It’s a good thing we didn’t let you act as Luo Niannian. Otherwise, we don’t know how long we’d have to film!” Mingguan said angrily, “Go and sort out your mentality!”
Youlan ran away in tears.
Mingguan shouted angrily, “Stop and wait for Su Youlan! We’ll start when she’s ready!”
Sister Ran followed Youlan and could only comfort her. “Youlan, Director Li is also under too much pressure. We have to finish filming this movie within a month. How can he not be anxious when we’re only halfway through filming?”
“And… You’re not in a good state today. This is not your normal level.” Sister Ran found it strange. “What’s wrong with you today?”
“Nothing. I just can’t bear to see Li Mingguan praise Jiang Xun every time he meets someone. Was he praising Jiang Xun? He was clearly trying to flatter Qin Mufeng! It’s because of Qin Mufeng’s presence that Li Mingguan was so polite to Jiang Xun. What do you mean by difficult execution scene? He’s just trying to please Jiang Xun!”
“Alright, alright. You can’t really offend Li Mingguan.” Sister Ran wiped her tears. “Quickly recover and apologize to Li Mingguan later. Otherwise, do you still want to film good scripts in the future?”
Youlan was so angry that she didn’t say anything.
Sister Ran could only say, “Jiang Xun is already here. She’s waiting to be filmed. Do you still want her to laugh at you?”
Youlan was speechless.
Youlan finally took her words to heart. She ran to Mingguan crying and apologizing.
Mingguan couldn’t say anything more.
Qiyao ran over to Jiang Xun with lingering fear. “Jiang Jiang, what should we do? It’s a little scary when Director Li is angry.”
[Oh my God, is this the Sister Yao I know? Sister Yao’s actually scared?]
[I thought Sister Yao would directly argue with Director Li.]
[Sister Yao is just being honest, not unreasonable. If she doesn’t act well and doesn’t meet the director’s standards, she’ll only blame herself if she can’t pass in one take and delay the other actors.]
[No wonder Sister Yao turned into a soft girl and came to look for Jiang Jiang. Sister Yao is also worried that she won’t be able to act well.]
“Didn’t you act well? Director Li didn’t scold you before.” Jiang Xun pulled her to sit down and poured her a cup of her own health tea.
“The previous scenes weren’t that difficult. You know Director Li’s habit. He always starts with the simpler and easier scenes to let the actors slowly get into character, and then the later parts get harder and harder.” Qiyao was already starting to worry. “The first part is simple. I’ll definitely act well. I’m just afraid that the later scenes will get more and more difficult, beyond my current level and I can’t meet the director’s requirements no matter how I act.”
[Wuwuwu, Sister Yao is really a very dedicated actress. She also knows herself very well.]
[Sister Yao has never been good at acting, so she has to do her best.]
[I became a fan of Sister Yao after watching “My Other Half.” She’s such a straightforward and cute girl.]
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you an electronic file of acting skills tomorrow.” Jiang Xun thought for a while. She couldn’t tell her about the skills book, or it would be hard to explain. “It’s just some of my experience in acting, but it’s not necessarily 100% right. Everyone’s understanding of acting is different. I’ll just write down some of my experience in performing for you to use as a reference. You can see if it’s useful.”
“Really?” Qiyao looked at Jiang Xun excitedly. “Wuwuwu, Jiang Jiang, you’re the best. It would be great if you could teach me.”
“I can’t really teach you, I’m still a newbie. You’ve learned how to perform properly. You don’t think I’m arrogant. But I still want to show you my acting experience. That’s already very good,” Jiang Xun said.
“How could it be!” Qiyao straightened her back. “You’re just better at acting than me! I’ve done single takes before, but many of them required several NGs, unlike you. You passed all of them in one take, and the director was very satisfied. This has nothing to do with whether you were from a specialized course or how much acting experience you have. You have talent, comprehension, and are willing to study. Those who graduated from specialized courses might not have good acting skills. Some people haven’t even improved after acting for more than ten years.”
