Chapter 165 Teaching
After Gu Wei returned to the crew, he devoted himself to the filming.
Although he always took leave for personal reasons, director Su Youpeng never blamed him.
It was not because Gu Wei was famous, but because Gu Wei saved him a lot of worry during the filming process.
As a new director, Su Youpeng placed excessive emphasis on the compatibility between the characters and the actors in the movie when casting.
He thinks the actor's temperament is suitable for the role, so he chooses him without a doubt, thus ignoring the most important acting skill of an actor.
It is so difficult to shoot other actors' scenes in the crew. If you set high standards, you need to polish it over and over again. This is a painful process for both the actors and the director.
There's nothing we can do about it, since these actors don't have any acting skills.
Only when filming Gu Wei's scenes, if there is no external influence, can I get it right in one take.
It saves time and effort, and the director enjoys shooting, and the resulting shots are very good.
The crew nicknamed Gu Wei "Gu Yitiao", which means that every shot he shot was passed in one take.
What satisfied Su Youpeng the most was that not only was Gu Wei's acting good, but when he played opposite Ma Sichun, he was able to bring her into the role, and the shots of the two of them together were shot very smoothly.
With all these benefits, Su Youpeng naturally wouldn't mind if Gu Wei took a few days off. After all, the heroine had a lot of solo scenes in the plot of "The Left Ear", so Gu Wei could just focus on filming Chen Duling's scenes after leaving the crew.
As time went by and the filming progressed, Guan Xiaotong and Ma Sichun finished filming and left the crew one after another.
The second half of the film mainly focuses on the scenes between the male and female protagonists.
Chen Duling's filming condition is getting better and better as she continues to immerse herself in the role. Up to now, she can pass a shot in about two or three times. Although it is still far from that of Gu Wei, her performance has already satisfied director Su Youpeng.
Gu Wei still remembers that he once watched Chen Duling film her first crying scene on the set.
The photoshoot was done in a studio and she did more than 20 takes.
Bao Wenjing, who played Lin, kept comforting her and patiently stayed with her until late at night. Only then did Chen Duling shed a few tears. Later, because he was still not satisfied with the scene, director Su Youpeng chose to reshoot it.
Facts have proved that it is too difficult to train someone with poor acting skills to act, but there is no other way, this is all director Su Youpeng's own choice. Gu Wei feels that with this experience, Su Youpeng will definitely not look for new actors when making a movie next time.
In the evening, after finishing a busy day of filming, Gu Wei took a shower in the room without drying his hair. He leaned on the sofa in a loose vest and shorts, browsing his phone.
Dongshan Island, where the film was shot, is the second largest island in Fujian Province. It is located in the south. Now it is summer and the temperature is very high every day.
When the crew was filming during the day, Su Youpeng strictly required the crew to drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water on time and in the right amount to prevent heatstroke and ensure smooth filming.
After working all day, your body will feel very greasy due to sweating, and you can only feel refreshed after taking a shower.
“Ding ding ding~”
There was a knock on the door.
Gu Wei frowned and glanced at the time on his phone.
'Who would come to see me so late?
Guan Xiaotong and Ma Sichun, who were close to him, have both left the crew. Yang Yang also left after finishing his last scene yesterday. Could it be that the crew came to inform him that there would be changes to tomorrow's filming?
Thinking of this, Gu Wei stood up and walked to the door. He opened it and saw Chen Duling, wearing a blue and white plaid dress and holding a notebook in her hand, standing at the door timidly like a primary school student.
Gu Wei was surprised to see that it was Chen Duling who knocked on the door.
"Du Ling, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Duling saw that Gu Wei, who opened the door, was wearing a large vest, and some muscle lines on the front of his body were faintly visible.
His facial features were clearly defined, and a pair of deep eyes were staring at him from his face that looked as if it were chiseled by a knife.
Although they were filming in the same crew, she and Gu Wei really didn't have much rivalry in the early stages. This was the first time the two of them were face to face so closely.
Her face flushed slightly, and she swallowed and calmed herself down.
"Teacher Gu, we'll be acting opposite each other for the next few days. I'd like to talk to you about tomorrow's scene."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Wei with hope.
Although Chen Duling is an introvert, she is not stupid at all. She was admitted to Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics with a good score of 621 in the college entrance examination. Her IQ is definitely above the level of the entertainment industry.
After such a long period of filming, she certainly knew that Gu Wei was the best actor in the crew.
She had also seen Ma Sichun's condition when Gu Wei was filming opposite her before, so she naturally knew who was responsible for the achievement.
Now it was just the two of them who had roles to play, so naturally she wanted Gu Wei to give her some guidance.
Gu Wei looked around at the empty corridor and made way for Chen Duling.
"Okay, come in."
The two of them walked to the sofa and sat down. Gu Wei took a bottle of water and placed it in front of Chen Duling.
"Why did you want to act against me so late?"
He didn't doubt Chen Duling's intention. After all, they had been together for almost two months, and he had a general understanding of her personality and temperament.
It is obvious that Chen Duling is not one of those female artists in the entertainment industry who are willing to do anything to become famous.
Gu Wei felt that she might not be sure yet whether she wanted to continue on the path of an actor in the future.
After all, she is a science and engineering graduate, and her university major has nothing to do with acting. One can only say that her luck is really good, and she can become the heroine of a movie right away.
"I know my acting is very poor. Teacher Gu, you also guided Si Chun during the previous filming. In order to make the next scene better, I shamelessly came to ask for your advice."
Chen Duling also knew that she was a bit presumptuous, and it would be easy for the other party to misunderstand if she came home so late at night.
If she had asked someone else for advice, she would definitely not come so late, but as for Gu Wei's words, she didn't care.
Gu Wei's image and temperament really didn't make her feel any dislike for him. Although she really came to ask for advice on filming, deep down in her heart she also had a little thought that "if Gu Wei really misunderstood, that would be fine too."
Looking at Chen Duling's sincere face, what else could Gu Wei say? He usually liked to lend a helping hand to people in need, especially when the other person was a beautiful woman.
Gu Wei took out his script and started discussing tomorrow's filming with Chen Duling.
When she was acting, Gu Wei would carefully observe her tone and expression. If he felt something was wrong, he would interrupt her at any time and offer his suggestions for her to correct it.
On the second day of filming, Chen Duling, who was taught by Gu Wei, was indeed much better than before.
"Well done, keep it up."
After finishing a scene, Su Youpeng praised Chen Duling with a smile.
This was the first time Chen Duling received praise from the director after joining the crew, and she seemed very surprised.
She happily looked at Gu Wei, who was acting with her across from her, with a face full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Teacher Gu~"
Gu Wei smiled: "This is all the result of your own hard work. Come on, it will be even better in the future!"
