Transmigrating into the pretentious, scandal-ridden cannon fodder female supporting character in a book who is constantly told by netizens to get out of the entertainment industry, Qiao Yiyi binds ...
Qiao Yiyi thought, this is exactly what I want to say to you, but she felt there was no need to waste time on it, so she said, "You can ask the crew to change rooms, or move out."
The implication is that I don’t welcome you either.
Fang Yun's face looked a little unhappy. Qiao Yiyi has always had a bad reputation in the circle. It is well known that she has been fighting with artists and arguing with netizens.
It was just because she had been more low-key and restrained recently that she had the illusion that Qiao Yiyi was easy to control, but in essence, Qiao Yiyi was still as aggressive as before.
Fang Yun held her breath. Everyone knew Director Xie Zhen's temper. He didn't like the actors to have too many problems during the filming process.
They will coordinate everything in advance. If you have any needs, tell us in advance. Don't wait until you join the team to do this or that.
It is precisely because he treats everyone equally and only sees actors, regardless of their status, that although he has a bit of a weird temper, everyone still respects him from the bottom of their hearts.
Fang Yun had endured for so many years and finally made a name for himself. Not wanting to leave a bad impression on Director Xie because of some trivial matter, he pulled the suitcase in heavily, making a lot of noise.
As soon as she entered the room, she went straight to the large master bedroom with a balcony, kicked out the suitcase that Qiao Yiyi hadn't packed yet, and said, "I'll live in this room."
"But we occupied this first!"
Baomei didn't expect this person to be so shameless. He just threw out other people's things without any sense of first come first served.
Fang Yun, however, looked nonchalant: "Your names aren't written on the door. If you don't like it, you can ask the crew to change rooms."
"You——" Baomei's face turned red with anger.
Qiao Yiyi stopped her: "Forget it, let her stay. It's just a place to sleep, it's the same anywhere."
"But no one is as unreasonable as her." Baomei grumbled dissatisfiedly, but she also started to carry the luggage to the other two rooms. Mian Dian was also very sensible and helped them carry the small items over.
That evening, the actors arrived at the filming location one after another, and the next morning, the entire crew gathered for a grand opening ceremony. We hope that the filming will go smoothly and successfully, and that the show will be a huge success upon its broadcast.
Qiao Yiyi had no work to do for the past two days, so she stayed nearby to watch and learn.
She had recently signed up for an acting class and taken it for a few days, but it was all theoretical and left her confused. Now she wanted to see what real acting was like, so she squatted next to the cameraman, learning while also acting as a staff member or assistant.
"Ku—" Director Xie made a stop gesture with his hand and looked away from the monitor. "Sang Bai, what's wrong with you? I've told you so many times, you're now expressing disbelief after learning about your past and the pain and struggle of accepting this fact, not an exaggerated, contrived expression like constipation."
"I'm sorry, director. I'll try again. I wasn't in the right state just now." Sang Bai felt a little dejected after being scolded by the director in front of so many people.
"If you're not in the right state, adjust it. Make your emotions richer and your expressions more delicate and layered!"
"Good director."
Qiao Yiyi was stunned watching from the side. Sang Bai was considered to have very good acting skills among the new generation of actresses, but she didn't expect that she would be scolded by Director Xie, in front of so many people.
She secretly asked the cameraman, "Is Director Xie so scary?"
The cameraman acted as if it was normal: "Oh, that's just how Old Xie is. He doesn't recognize anyone when he's got a camera. You'll get used to it."
After hearing this, Qiao Yiyi felt even more melancholy.
If Sang Bai could be scolded like this, how badly would she be scolded in her first scene tomorrow?
She began to regret taking this role.
During the break, Sang Bai's assistant hurried over to give her water and a towel to wipe her sweat.
Fang Yun walked over with a small fan: "Hurry, blow it on yourself, you look so hot."
Sang Bai took it and said thank you.
Fang Yun fanned herself with her hand. "Director Xie's reputation for strictness is well-deserved. Even someone like you, who comes from an acting family, had to shoot so many takes today. Qiao Yiyi's fight scene tomorrow will take three days and three nights. What if that delays our progress?"
Sang Bai didn't say anything and drank some water. He glanced at Qiao Yiyi and saw her chatting happily with a veteran actor.
Normally, if there is no scene to film, she doesn't have to be on set all the time, but during these three days, Qiao Yiyi was there no matter which scene was being filmed.
Sang Bai didn't think she was so studious. Everyone knew that Qiao Yiyi's mind was not on filming, but now, she was a little confused about Qiao Yiyi.
"Don't be nervous. When filming, forget yourself and immerse yourself completely in the role. At that moment, you are her and she is you."
Liang Jue is a veteran actor who has been active on the screen for decades. He is also a drama actor. He has not appeared in the screen for a long time. This time, at the invitation of Xie Zhen, he plays the villain eunuch beside the emperor in the play.
Perhaps because of his rather fierce appearance and age, some young actors rarely dared to talk to him. Furthermore, he never brought an assistant to filming, always arriving and leaving alone. While waiting for scenes, he would sit on a small stool, his eyes, with drooping eyebags and deep furrows at the corners, staring at people with a chilling feeling.
Qiao Yiyi was a little scared of him at first. After playing the role of a temporary assistant several times to bring water and fan Liang Jue, she found that the old man was not as scary as she had imagined. He was also very funny and humorous. He was an Internet surfer and understood many memes.
Liang Jue also found that the girl was not as bad as people said on the Internet, and was quite friendly.
After a few interactions, the old and the young had a very pleasant conversation.
Seeing that Qiao Yiyi was worried about not performing well tomorrow, Liang Jue shared his experience with her and encouraged her.
He said that you should not always think about acting, and think about how to make this expression or express this emotion.
When you put yourself into the scene and the role, some emotions will naturally arise.
Qiao Yiyi was enlightened by these words. They taught her more than she had learned from the acting classes she had spent a lot of money on.
Qiao Yiyi's first scene was filmed the next morning.
The character she plays, Tang Yuan, is going to ambush the heroine and her group passing by in a bamboo forest.
This was a difficult fight scene. In order to make the scene realistic and beautiful, the director did not synthesize the scenery on the set in post-production. Instead, he rented a bamboo forest and found a very professional martial arts instructor in the industry to teach Qiao Yiyi and the others simple martial arts moves.
However, when filming was about to start, Qiao Yiyi's stunt double suddenly had severe diarrhea and was sent to the hospital, so filming was unable to begin.
Qiao Yiyi's fight scene requires her to shuttle back and forth in the forest. Several of the moves are extremely difficult and can only be performed by a stunt double.
All the preparations for filming were ready, Sang Bai and Qin Yiyang were already on the wires, but something went wrong with Qiao Yiyi.
As the sun rose, the sunlight became increasingly dazzling, and even the vast expanses of shade from the trees could not block the gradually infiltrating summer heat.
Sang Bai's face was already showing a hint of impatience. Fang Yun complained, "Are you going to continue filming? If you keep going like this, your makeup will be ruined."
The assistant director asked Xie Zhen, "Do you want to shoot something else first? Can we find another time to shoot this scene?"
Xie Zhen looked solemn and said nothing.
Seeing that everyone was waiting, Qiao Yiyi's impatience gradually intensified. She then quietly asked the cameraman, with whom she had developed a good relationship in recent days, "Is a one-day delay a big deal?"
The cameraman said, "Of course, the crew's daily expenses are huge, and a day's delay means a significant loss. Plus, it's very troublesome for us to move the equipment back and forth. Also, I heard that Director Xie took a lot of effort to rent this bamboo forest, and it's only for one day. If we can't shoot today, I guess the bamboo forest will be converted into an ordinary tree forest."
Change it to an ordinary forest?
Qiao Yiyi looked at Xie Zhen. Although there was only one word difference, it was a world of difference for Director Xie, who was very demanding of perfection.
It is said that in order to capture a gorgeous autumn scene, he went to the northwest specifically to wait for the season when golden ginkgo rain would fall.
Qiao Yiyi didn't want to hold the team back, so her gaze shifted from Xie Zhen's worried face to the towering bamboo forest in front of her.
Tang Yuan is agile and has extremely high skills in lightness skills. She moves through the forest like a ghost.
Isn't it just jumping around in the woods and spinning in circles in the air, like performing acrobatics?
Why doesn't she try the monkey's attributes in the animal attribute system?
Monkeys are agile and flexible and can move freely in the woods.
With its properties, she can complete this series of difficult moves.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yiyi said to the director: "Director Xie, I don't need a double, I'll do it myself."
After she said this, everyone present looked at her in surprise, thinking they had heard it wrong.
Not to mention that Qiao Yiyi was going to shoot such difficult actions, even if the pressure was a little bit too high when she was filming in the past, she would still shout that she didn't want to shoot because she was afraid.
Now she says she doesn't want a substitute and will do it herself, who would believe her?
Xie Zhenrao was used to all kinds of big scenes, but he was still surprised by Qiao Yiyi. He said, "Today's wire hanging is not like catching a doll, where you just move it a few times casually."
Qiao Yiyi said stubbornly, "I know."
Xie Zhen: "It's not like you just strike a pose in the air and let the rope hang."
Qiao Yiyi: "I know that too."
She added, "Director Xie, I'm serious. I've learned all the moves the martial arts instructor has taught me these past few days, and I've also become familiar with the stunt double's moves..."
This is true. I have so many fewer lines than others. To be precise, I don't have to memorize lines at all. If I don't spend more time on other things, how can I be worthy of the salary given by the crew, even though most of it goes into the company's pocket.
“So I wanted to try it myself.”
"Try it yourself?" Fang Yun sneered, "Don't get so scared that you cry while hanging in the air."
The cameraman also advised: "Yes, Yiyi, it's not that you are unprofessional, but sometimes, some work requires teamwork to complete. Professional matters should be left to professionals, you don't have to feel embarrassed."
Qiao Yiyi was anxious: "I can really do it myself! Why don't you try it?"
Xie Zhen was hesitating, obviously evaluating the feasibility.
He asked Qiao Yiyi to film the movie and did not take these complicated things into account. Firstly, he knew she could not do it at all; secondly, it would save time and effort and speed up the filming progress.
And the most important point is that he doesn't want Qiao Yiyi to ruin the show he carefully planned!
This will make the whole picture disharmonious!
Just when Xie Zhen was in a dilemma, Elder Liang spoke up, "Old Xie, why don't you just let Yiyi do it herself? When we were filming before, we did a lot of the action ourselves, without using a body double. We can't let their generation be so spoiled."
Qiao Yiyi nodded quickly: "Yes, I'm not that squeamish!"
She had already activated her monkey attributes. After saying this, in order to convince everyone, she immediately somersaulted several times on the ground. Her movements were smooth and fluent, leaving everyone stunned.
If Baomei hadn't reminded her not to flip over again, as it would mess up her pose, she would have performed an unsupported Thomas spin in the air for everyone!
