Volume 1 Chapter 30 Filming
After Director Li Ping called for the start, Wang Hao, as a veteran actor, immediately got into the mood.
In front of the camera, a hunched, worried old man stood quietly at the door of his house, silently rejecting everyone's advice.
At this time, Jiang Hua, played by Zhu Sheng, stepped forward. Her task was to persuade the old man to abandon his home and leave the village that was about to be occupied.
In fact, such situations are not uncommon for Zhu Sheng.
In the wasteland world, whenever a shelter is about to be occupied by zombies, people have to make a life or death choice between leaving or staying.
Peaceful days come to an abrupt end and disasters strike from the sky. This kind of thing has become commonplace in the end of the world.
But no matter how many times you experience it, you can never get used to this kind of pain.
In order to survive, some people may have to live like nomads all their lives, constantly looking for new places to live, and being forced to experience separation and death again and again.
With the same heavy heart, Zhu Sheng came to the old man.
Unlike others, she did not persuade the old man again and again, but like a child, she sat down and listened quietly to the old man's stories of the past.
What a happy family once lived here, and how did they get to where they are today?
Under the big willow tree in the brick-tiled courtyard, an old man and a young boy were telling a story tenderly.
The old man's stubborn and stern face gradually showed a hint of relaxation.
Before leaving, the girl told him that as long as he kept living, he might have a chance to pass on the hope of life to others.
Watching the girl's leaving back, the old man chased after her for the first time, his face soaked with tears.
This scene was performed in one go, and Zhu Sheng's expression was just right.
The conversation was simple and unpretentious, the attitude was appropriate and friendly, and the sparkle in the eyes was a hope that would never be given up.
Wang Hao’s performance is also good, allowing people to empathize with the old man’s pain and struggle in an instant.
“Cut!”
Li Ping called for a stop, and the two actors relaxed.
The entire set was in an uproar, with everyone waiting for Li Ping's decision.
Some people in the crowd began to whisper.
"To be fair, the performance was pretty good. Jiang Hua's words were so powerful that I almost cried a few times while listening to him."
"A newcomer like Zhu Sheng is not at a disadvantage when acting opposite a veteran like Wang Hao."
"Did Zhu Sheng suddenly come to her senses? With her acting skills, she shouldn't just be a guest star."
"It's over. I suppressed her today, but it looks like I'm going to lose everything this time."
After the show, Wang Hao quickly found a place to sit down and wiped the cold sweat from his head.
Others didn't know, but Wang Hao knew very well that with forty years of acting experience, he almost couldn't stand in front of Zhu Sheng just now.
Facing Zhu Sheng, he mobilized almost 120% of his strength and barely managed to not succumb to the other party's aura.
In the early years, he could only have the opportunity to feel this kind of overwhelming pressure when acting opposite actors of the best actor and actress level.
How did a little girl like Zhu Sheng develop such acting skills?
What's more, Wang Hao had criticized the bad movies she acted in. Are that Zhu Sheng and the Zhu Sheng in front of him really the same person?
Could it be that she worked hard after that and gained her current abilities?
Wang Hao calmed himself down and looked towards Zhu Sheng. This time his eyes were filled with admiration for the young man.
Yes, if it is really the result of hard work, then this little girl is indeed a good actor with backbone.
Thinking of the unreasonable behavior just now, Wang Hao sighed slightly.
It seems that I am indeed old. Not only did I make a mistake, but I also almost buried a good seedling.
I hope it’s not too late now. Thinking of this, Wang Hao stood up and walked towards Zhu Sheng.
He patted Zhu Sheng's shoulder affectionately and said in an appreciative tone: "You performed well. I will remember you, Zhu Sheng."
Zhu Sheng nodded calmly to Wang Hao, then moved closer to Director Li Ping to see what the finished film would look like.
Well, overall, Zhu Sheng is quite satisfied.
She pondered over it for a long time, and finally chose this way of acting.
When a person is in real pain, what he needs more than the sympathy of others is someone with an equal attitude who can listen to and empathize with his pain.
Director Li Ping watched the scene carefully, considered it over and over again, and then shouted it out loud on the set.
"pass!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
The employees on the set looked at each other, unable to believe the results they had just heard.
It’s not that they didn’t see Zhu Sheng’s excellent performance, but even so, it was too exaggerated all at once.
This is Director Li Ping, who is known as the NG maniac!
Even the best actor or actress would be trained to a state of living a life worse than death in his hands.
But now, Zhu Sheng, a third-tier actor, is given the honor of a one-time performance?
Some people looked at Zhu Sheng with admiration, but also felt a little regretful in their hearts.
This little girl will definitely be something great in the future. I shouldn't have been so cold to her.
There were also some people who looked at Lin Xingyao with resentment.
If it weren't for this woman fanning the flames and posting so many complaining videos, they would not have participated in this gamble.
The one with the worst look on his face was the venue manager who was running the gambling game tonight.
I thought I had opened a small gambling game that I was sure to win and make some money for drinks, but I didn't expect to lose a lot.
He glared at Lin Xingyao fiercely and left angrily.
Only An An was extremely happy. She was afraid that the person who opened the gambling game would run away, so she chased after him and asked him for the bonus.
"Hey, didn't I buy it once? This odds must be good, boss, give me the money."
Fortunately, this venue manager is a sensible person and knows how to accept defeat.
He was afraid that things would get out of hand, so even if he lost badly, he didn't dare let Director Li Ping know that they were gambling privately.
After all, being fined is a small matter, but losing your job is a big loss.
So, he secretly pulled An An to a corner, took out his mobile phone obediently, and transferred the money immediately.
“Ding—100,000 yuan has been credited to Alipay.”
A crisp reminder made An An cover her mouth in surprise.
In one transaction, the money increased tenfold.
The big brother sighed helplessly: "Sister, I was blind and didn't recognize the real man. You should follow that girl carefully. Her future is limitless."
On the set, Lin Xingyao looked at Zhu Sheng in disbelief, muttering "Impossible" to herself.
Zhu Sheng's facial paralysis and poor acting skills were condemned by countless directors back then.
But now, not only did she get the recognition of the entire crew, but she also made herself look like a little idiot for being the one behind the scenes!
Before Lin Xingyao could recover from the incident, she heard her assistant urging her.
"Xingyao, Director Li Ping has called you several times. Hurry up and go over. The next scene is yours and Wang Hao's."
