Nearly half an hour later, Director Liu yelled "Cut" for who knows how many times since the start of filming today, "Jiang Nan, come here."
Jiang Nan made a series of NGs and apologized to the staff on the scene. He walked to the monitor with a grim look on his face. Director Liu pointed to the previously filmed scenes again and patiently explained them to him.
"Well, I see you're not in the right shape, so I won't be filming your scenes today. Think carefully about what I told you and adjust your state. I think you can do even better."
"Good director."
Jiang Nan was not in good shape, so they just filmed Shen Nianchu's scenes. However, no matter which scene it was, Shen Nianchu got every scene through in one take without even looking at the script.
Director Liu was in high spirits during the filming. He had originally thought that the actors were not in good condition on the first day and might not be able to shoot much. However, within a few hours, Shen Nianchu's solo scenes at school had been shot for 80% of the time.
After the scene change, Director Liu sat in front of the monitor, blew on the wolfberries floating on the thermos, and sighed again with the assistant director,
"Great! This Shen Nianchu completely exceeded my expectations. How come I didn't know there was such an actor before? He's so smart and can control his performance so well."
"That's right. I've never seen an actor do a take after take without even looking at the script. They tell him which scene to film, and after just a quick glance, they've already memorized the script."
"What a great talent! I'll use her in my next film. Have you called someone? Why hasn't Nan Yunshu come yet? Filming is about to start."
"Yes, I called her an hour ago. She said she was putting on makeup and would be here soon."
As he was speaking, he heard Nan Yunshu's mumbling complaints coming from far away.
"Didn't they say my scenes would end in the evening? It's only afternoon, why are you already rushing me?"
"I heard that the filming went very smoothly over at Chen Nianchu's place, with every take passing. Naturally, the progress is fast."
"Tsk~ She's only been in a few movies since her debut. I'm afraid she's so bad that the director doesn't know how to adjust her and just sloppily passes..."
"Keep your voice down!"
Nan Yunshu was reminded by her agent. She looked up and saw Shen Nianchu not far away, with her eyebrows raised and a meaningful smile on her face. She was even more disdainful. "Director Liu, I'm here. Let's start filming as soon as possible. Let's finish it soon and rest soon."
Sooner or later, let her crush Shen Nianchu in acting skills.
Director Liu looked at her makeup and hair with displeasure, "What's wrong with your makeup? Don't you know this is a school scene? You're wearing such heavy lipstick! Shen Nianchu only put on foundation. Look at you, what kind of student wears glittery eyeshadow to school? Who is responsible for her makeup and hair?"
A young makeup artist came over tremblingly and spoke cautiously,
"Director, I've told Teacher Nan about this, but she insisted on wearing this kind of eyeshadow. I..."
Nan Yunshu didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
"Director, we'll need to smooth out the skin and add filters in post-production. And then adjust the color. My makeup will be almost completely eaten away, so it won't be noticeable at all, okay?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me!"
Nan Yunshu refused and stood there with a pout, acting like a spoiled brat, refusing to change.
There was an obvious slap mark on the right half of the makeup artist's face. Shen Nianchu saw it at a glance, "Could it be that Nan Yunshu hit you with this injury on your face?"
The makeup artist raised her hand to block it, and glanced at Nan Yunshu who was looking arrogant beside her, wanting to say something but hesitant. The answer was self-evident.
Director Liu signaled the staff to take the makeup artist to the side for a cold compress. His brows were furrowed so tightly that a fly could be pinched to death. Shen Wanqing left, and here came the troublesome Nan Yunshu. Should he go to the temple to worship recently?
Shen Nianchu filmed a lot of scenes today. Director Liu said that if her scenes finish early, she can be allowed to rest for a few days depending on the situation. Shouldn't this be a good opportunity for her to fall in love?
I haven't seen Lu Jinzhou for several days.
So he asked Nan Yunshu provocatively, "Are you really ugly without makeup? So ugly that you can't even face people?"
"Who do you say is ugly without makeup?"
"You, putting on such heavy makeup for a school play and going against everyone else, what a waste of time!"
Nan Yunshu immediately blushed in anger, "How dare you say you didn't put on makeup? Do you think I can't tell you're just wearing plain makeup? You're just pretending to be natural!"
"I'm sorry," Shen Nianchu looked at her calmly, and then used the method of provoking her.
"I'm naturally beautiful, so I just put on foundation. There's no need for plain makeup. If I didn't have to put on foundation, I would have wanted to go on camera with my bare face. Do you think I'm you, so self-conscious about my looks that I never dare show my face without makeup?"
"I have no inferiority complex!" Nan Yunshu was anxious. How could he be outdone by Shen Nianchu?
"Who's afraid? Take off your makeup right now if you can! Everyone is shooting without makeup! Anyone who doesn't have makeup on today is a dog!"
They took off their makeup and washed their faces in public standing by the roadside sewer.
A few minutes later, the crew exclaimed in amazement again. The most talked about thing was how good Shen Nianchu's skin was, saying that her skin was as white as cream and looked better than others with makeup.
Nan Yunshu is not so good. Her skin tone is uneven and looks quite different with and without makeup, but she still looks good.
Nan Yunshu looked at Shen Nianchu, whose skin was so good that it made her jealous, with dissatisfaction. She was stunned and could not say a word before she realized that she was provoked.
But the harsh words had already been spoken, and he couldn't just let himself be a dog, so he had to start filming.
What surprised her even more was that Shen Nianchu's acting was better than she had expected. She almost couldn't catch up with the acting, and it was not until the fifth time that she passed the first scene.
She really underestimated the enemy.
No, she couldn't let Shen Nianchu continue to be so proud...
…
After watching Shen Nianchu's performance for a day, Jiang Nan felt even more inferior.
I used to think that Chen Nianchu had just become famous and should be on the same level as him. I didn’t expect her acting skills to be so good. The two of them are completely on the same level. The more I think about it, the more pressure I feel.
Just when he was worried, there was a knock on the dressing room door. It was Shen Nianchu, who had changed out of her costume and raised the small hand warmer in her hand.
"This is for you. I heard you'll have a night scene later, and it might be useful."
Jiang Nan accepted it flattered, "Thank you, Teacher Shen."
"I told you to call me Sister Nian," Shen Nianchu saw the gap in his heart. In order to ensure the progress of the filming, she came over to comfort him. Without any more nonsense, she said directly,
"The pace of filming today is quite fast. After all, you don't have much experience, so you will feel overwhelmed at the beginning. Don't feel pressured. To better fit in with the role, let's start calling each other by their character names in private from tomorrow."
"Okay, I'm really sorry for the many NGs today. I'm the one who held you back, Sister Nian."
How could Shen Nianchu not see the look in Jiang Nan's eyes when he looked at her on the set today? It was her duty to help her brother stop the loss in time.
Of course, it was also her fault that she thought it was funny at first and went out of her way to tease Jiang Nan. She didn't expect that her brother was not willing to be teased at all. The person who tied the bell must untie it, so she should give him some comfort.
