Chapter 17 Conspiracy

“Cut!”

A voice sounded.

It was the order of the big bearded man.

Zhou Xiaowen rubbed his temples and asked the script supervisor to hit the board to start over. Director Yu Min, who was standing by, patted Zhou Xiaowen on the shoulder without saying anything more.

“Cut!”

Less than a minute after the reshoot, the big bearded man’s voice sounded again: “Let’s do it again. The effect this time doesn’t seem to be very good.”

“Why are you looking at me?”

Seeing the script supervisor staring at him, Zhou Xiaowen waved his hands unhappily: “Didn’t producer Zhang say to do it again? Then let’s do it again.”

The script supervisor was sweating.

He gritted his teeth and hit the board again.

This time it was faster, only taking 20 seconds, and the big bearded man called for a stop: “Luo Xun, you performed very well during the audition, why did you regress so much today?”

Luo Xun was silent.

Continuous shooting and constant adjustment of emotions will affect the state, so as Zhang the big bearded man said, his performance just now was indeed flawed.

The fourth shooting began.

As expected, there was another NG, but the bearded man didn't target Luo Xun this time: "Teacher Ji Chunhua, pay attention to your eyes and expressions..."

Luo Xun gritted his teeth.

He knew that the bearded man was targeting him. If he couldn't find any fault with his part, the other actors would be in trouble, and this would only be the beginning of today's series of NGs.

"Ka!"

"Ka!"

"No!"

"Do it again!"

As expected.

The following shooting was still not smooth, until the tenth NG, Zhou Xiaowen finally couldn't help but explode, and was about to stand up when he was suddenly pulled by a hand.

"Old Zhou."

The person who held Zhou Xiaowen was Yu Min: "Because of you, the teacher has already made some concessions. You can't be so stubborn."

"He's a newcomer."

"He's not an ordinary newcomer."

"No matter how extraordinary a newcomer is, he can't stand this. You know how important the confidence of an actor is. This continuous NG will completely collapse the actor's psychological defenses!"

"Wait a little longer, wait until he calms down..."

"You direct it. I'm afraid I won't be able to control my emotions if I stay here." Zhou Xiaowen stood up and left directly. When he left, he didn't even say hello to the bearded man.

This scene was clearly seen by everyone.

Yu Min smiled bitterly, looked back at Zhang Jizhong, who had an expressionless face, and waved his hand: "Everyone has worked hard. Let's do it again. Don't be discouraged. This scene is very difficult. Let's go through it slowly."

It's a pity...

Yu Min's cameramanship didn't change anything. The NG was still NG. The scene of Mantuo Villa was completely stuck when Murong Fu recognized the thief as his father.

NG for 28 times in a row!

Luo Xun's face turned pale at this time.

This is the method of the big bearded man. In the crew, it is so easy for the big guys to torment an actor. Such continuous NG can destroy the confidence of the actor bit by bit. Even if Luo Xun knows that the other party is doing it on purpose, he can't help but doubt himself-

This is an open conspiracy!

The big bearded man is finding faults!

Finding faults openly!

Unless Luo Xun has the acting skills of the movie emperor level, the performance effect makes the big bearded man unable to find any faults, otherwise even if the big bearded man NGs continuously, he is right!

"Oh no!"

Noticing Luo Xun's state, Yu Min knew that he couldn't go on like this. He looked at the time and stood up and said, "Is it almost time? I'm so hungry. Let's take a break and have lunch first, and then shoot in the afternoon."

The big bearded man glanced at Yu Min.

In the end, he didn't say anything and agreed to take a break.

In order to get into the state as soon as possible in the afternoon, lunch was a box lunch. Luo Xun found a corner to eat. The little actors who usually came in groups of three or five and kept shouting "Brother Luo" and "Teacher Luo" avoided him far away today, as if Luo Xun was a plague god.

Only Jiang Xin came over.

The little girl, who was only 19 years old this year, looked concerned: "Are you okay? In fact, everyone saw that you acted very well, but Producer Zhang..."

"Producer Zhang is not wrong."

Ji Chunhua also sat over with a box lunch.

Luo Xun took a few bites of food, and a trace of blood returned to his pale face. He glanced at the two people: "The whole crew can see that Producer Zhang has a problem with me. You two dare to come over. Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

"I'm not afraid."

Jiang Xin gnawed on the chicken leg.

Ji Chunhua shrugged: "I am strong because I have no desires. I am willing to be a supporting role in this life. Besides, the big bearded man is not as tolerant as you think. He is just to protect his own authority."

"Wow, Mr. Ji."

Jiang Xin was angry: "Who are you speaking for!"

Ji Chunhua said cheerfully: "I am just stating the facts objectively. Luo Xun, listen carefully. If Producer Zhang just wanted to vent his anger, he would not have to use this scene to torment you."

Luo Xun was thoughtful.

Ji Chunhua continued: "Let me tell you a story. I participated in a TV show before. There was a scene shot in the snow. An actor had to lie in the snow to shoot. He had offended the male lead before. As a result, this scene took seven or eight hours to shoot. He was sent to the hospital for treatment that night. He was almost frozen. We don't have scenes shot in the snow, but Producer Zhang wants to find a scene that makes you uncomfortable. You will suffer much more than you are now."

"So you say you still have to thank him?"

Jiang Xin became even more angry: "What's the point? Obviously many of us think Luo Xun's performance is already very good."

"It's pretty good."

Ji Chunhua looked at Luo Xun: "But it's not enough. If the full score is ten, in the past, if Luo Xun's performance in today's scene could be scored five points, he would have passed smoothly, because for an actor of your age, the performance is A five-point score would be pretty good.”

Jiang Yu said: "Luo Xun's performance..."

Ji Chunhua nodded: "Luo Xun's performance is great, on the borderline between five and six points. Because Luo Xun's eyes are very powerful, this is a bonus that cannot be ignored, so Luo Xun can be said to be the best among young actors." "As far as I know, there are less than five actors of my generation who can compare to him in terms of acting skills."

"That's ridiculous."

Luo Xun shook his head.

Ji Chunhua smiled faintly: "You have a pair of eyes that can speak. You can express many emotions with your eyes. Your overall acting skills can surpass your peers because of this. You don't have to be modest about this."

"But I'm still ng."

Luo Xun was not happy at all.

Ji Chunhua took two mouthfuls of food and said vaguely: "Because Producer Zhang raised the standard today and you offended him, so he is punishing you, and it is an honest punishment. What he requires of you is to show good behavior in this scene." Your acting skills can be rated above seven points! This is something that can be done in theory, but the difficulty is self-evident, so you should also be able to understand that Producer Zhang is using conspiracy this time, and he at least provides you with it. A chance to fight back!"

Luo Xun was shocked.

There is a chance to fight back!

Ji Chunhua nuzzled: "So, eat something and cheer up. The first three games in the afternoon are your best opportunities to fight back, because your state is at its best at that time. On the bright side, Zhang Zhi The film has at least acquiesced to your changes to the script, and he has taken a step back. This is why Director Zhou Xiaowen was angry, but he resisted breaking out with Producer Zhang. For the sake of this film, everyone is actually restraining themselves."

"Thank you, Teacher Ji!"

Luo Xun suddenly stood up and bowed to Ji Chunhua. No wonder Teacher Ji Chunhua passed away in his previous life, and Zhang Jizhong would go to pay his respects in person. In the bearded heart, he was an actor worthy of respect.
