Volume 1 Chapter 31 Good Seedling
Lin Xingyao spent the entire night reshooting but still couldn't capture the feeling the director wanted.
Facing Wang Hao's increasingly disgusted look, her performance became worse and worse, and she even cried on the set in the end.
Director Li Ping is having a headache because he wants to show this short film on his show this Saturday.
There are only a few days left, and we have to do filming, editing, and post-production.
Each link requires time and manpower. It is impossible to waste so much time on one person.
It was already three o'clock in the morning and the entire crew was almost exhausted.
In order not to delay the overall progress, Director Li Ping had to lower the standards and barely find a slightly acceptable version.
That night, after the filming ended, Director Li Ping was both happy and worried.
As usual, he stayed in the studio all night editing the film, and his old partner Yan Xue was beside him, staying up late with him.
Watching some of Lin Xingyao's horrific clips, Li Ping couldn't help but complain.
"Yan Xue, please delete some of Lin Xingyao's scenes."
"Li Ping, I understand how you feel, but Lin Xingyao's company is one of the investors of the show. If you cut any more of her scenes, her role might not even be as good as a cameo."
Li Ping lit a cigarette and took a few puffs in a distracted manner.
"They are all young masters and young ladies, why did they come to film? There is a table full of delicious food, but a rat shit sneaks in."
"Well, I'll try my best to change it. But aren't we here to discover new actors? It seems that it's worth it."
Yan Xue's words made Li Ping look a little better.
"Well, Zhu Sheng was a pleasant surprise, but I felt that she was not acting, but repeating an experience she had gone through, so it was so contagious."
Having said this, Li Ping shook his head again.
"I don't know what I'm saying. Maybe I'm just too tired."
Yan Xue immediately understood what Li Ping meant and nodded in agreement.
"Zhu Sheng has a murderous aura that is not seen in peacetime. If he encounters a good movie, he will definitely soar to the sky with such a unique temperament."
Hearing this, Li Ping became excited.
"Yan Xue, go back and write the script quickly. Use Zhu Sheng as the prototype. She's such a great talent. I'll have to ask her to play the leading role in my next movie!"
Here, Zhu Sheng finished work early. She performed most of her scenes in one take and got on the bus back home before 9 o'clock.
Sister Yun felt sorry for her because she was tired from filming, so she not only sent An An to be her assistant, but also specially arranged a nanny car.
Now, I can finally say goodbye to the days of taking an online taxi to go home.
In the car, An An excitedly talked about the crew's gambling.
"Sister Zhu Sheng, you don't know how that clerk praised you later.
It's not a loss to lose this money to you. He has followed Director Li Ping for so many years, and there are very few actors who can get it right the first time. Tonight is really an experience for him."
Compared to other people's praise, Zhu Sheng cares more about how much money he made from this gambling.
When he heard that he had made 100,000 yuan in profit, Zhu Sheng suddenly became excited. This was more than the announcement fee for this program.
If she could make so much money by being scolded, she would rather have more people like Lin Xingyao.
An An opened Alipay and planned to transfer all the bonus to Zhu Sheng, but was blocked by the other party.
"We'll split it in half. If you hadn't worried about it and asked around, you wouldn't have had the chance to make this money."
An An declined several times, but was blocked by Zhu Sheng every time. In the end, she had to accept it with tears in her eyes.
She made up her mind to grow up quickly and share more of the worries with Sister Zhu Sheng.
According to the notice, Zhu Sheng still had half a day of filming to do.
The next afternoon, Zhu Sheng arrived at the set on time.
Unlike before, this time, when the people on the set saw her, they were either very respectful or asked about her well-being. Everyone had an expression of immense respect on their face.
On the contrary, Lin Xingyao looked haggard. She had received a huge blow last night. Coupled with the swelling after staying up all night, she looked like she was about to fall.
Not long after, Zhu Sheng's scenes were all filmed.
Director Li Ping warmly gave her a bouquet of flowers and wished her a happy completion.
Zhu Sheng got off work happily and when she went out, she saw a group of people gathered in front of a room.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Lin Xingyao and Yan Xue arguing.
"Writer Yan, I am one of the main actors in the show after all, and I was previously scheduled to be the second female lead, but why are my roles getting smaller and smaller? If this continues, how many minutes of screen time will I still have?"
Lin Xingyao was very excited and kept accusing Yan Xue.
She spent a lot of effort to be on this show, investing a lot of money and arranging connections, before she was able to join director Li Ping's team.
Originally, he wanted to use Li Ping's reputation to do some marketing so that he could fight for resources in the future.
But now that things have turned out like this, not to mention losing resources, even her exposure is at risk. How could she tolerate this?
Yan Xue is usually friendly to everyone, but after so many years, she is already a veteran in the entertainment industry.
Facing the crying and noisy Lin Xingyao, she calmly took a sip of tea and answered slowly.
"Ms. Lin, ask yourself, am I targeting you? I put so much effort into this role, but you messed up even the most important moments.
Dozens of people from the crew stayed up late with you every day, and because of your incompetence, you ruined their reputation. Can you afford to pay for this, Miss Lin?"
Yan Xue is indeed an excellent screenwriter. Her few casual words touched the hearts of everyone present.
Some people in particular had just suffered losses from Lin Xingyao in a gambling game last night, and had stayed up all night with this young lady. They had not slept for several hours and had to go to work again. At this moment, they were very angry and had no place to vent.
"Where did this person get this connection from? She was given a role but can't carry it through. So everyone has to sacrifice everything for her?"
"I've had enough. Whenever she's in a scene, I have to be prepared for a long battle. Is the entire crew her tutor?"
"With such a half-baked level, he can't even understand the script, and he still has the nerve to bully others on the set every day."
Lin Xingyao knew she was in the wrong, her face flushed, and she wanted to leave in shame, but she happened to meet Zhu Sheng who was watching the excitement.
With new and old grudges adding up, Lin Xingyao got hot-headed and couldn't help but turn around and question Yan Xue.
"But why add so many scenes for Zhu Sheng? She's just a cameo!"
Lin Xingyao's words caused the whole audience to burst into laughter.
After last night's fierce competition, everyone can see that the difference between Zhu Sheng and Lin Xingyao's skills is like heaven and earth.
Yan Xue stood up and left, leaving behind a meaningful sentence.
"Ms. Lin, it is a noble virtue to know one's own limitations."
