Chapter 206 Acting
Director Wang stared at the screen without moving. The staff next to him couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Director Wang, do you want Wan Fu and the others to start filming?"
"Ah? Ah, let them come and get ready." Director Wang seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and motioned for Wan Fu and the others to come and get ready first. "I'll make a phone call, you guys wait."
He took the phone and went to the other side. After he let Han Wenya go, he was worrying about whether he should reduce the role of the witch. In fact, he didn't want to do that because the role of the witch was too charming. But Han Wenya was not strong enough, so he had to reduce the role.
However, just when he was worried, Shi Feiye was probably going to talk to Wu Chunqian, and she walked through the middle of the venue. The wind blew past, and at that moment, the image of a witch appeared in Director Wang's mind.
If we talk about who has the deepest understanding of the role of the witch, it must be the author who created her. It just so happens that Shi Feiye is a beautiful woman with bright and beautiful looks but who doesn't wear heavy makeup. She is simply tailor-made for this role.
Director Wang knew that Qin Buju would definitely not be happy to let Shi Feiye act, but if it was just a cameo appearance, maybe he could still consider it. It just so happened that the camera could record Shi Feiye's appearance when he was young, so he planned to make it clear to Han Wenya's people first. At worst, he could give them more opportunities in the next play. After dealing with things here, he would discuss it with Shi Feiye and Qin Buju.
Director Wang called and although he spoke politely, his meaning was very clear. The person on the other end was a little unhappy at first, but when she heard Director Wang say that a supporting female role could be reserved for a newcomer in the next drama, she immediately stopped being dissatisfied.
Trading a cameo opportunity for a supporting actress, this deal is definitely worth doing.
So more than ten minutes later, Han Wenya received a call from Xu Yingying:
"The company has arranged a new magazine photo shoot for you. Don't worry about your guest appearance. Come back by car this afternoon. You have to rush over tomorrow."
"What magazine? I've only shot half of it and it's stuck in the middle. What should Director Wang do?"
"Don't worry about that. We've already contacted Director Wang. There will be other people. This magazine is quite well-known and can improve your fashion sense. It's more important than a cameo role. Hurry up and pack up and come back quickly."
Xu Yingying didn't say what magazine it was, but she spoke very seriously. Han Wenya didn't know much about magazines, but she knew that magazine shoots could indeed enhance a celebrity's fashion sense. Thinking that Qin Bu Ru might not have time to pay attention to her for the time being, Han Wenya readily agreed.
Anyway, she didn't come here to play a guest role. Besides, Director Wang was so difficult to please and the witch was hard to play, so she didn't want to stay.
When Han Wenya said goodbye to Director Wang, Director Wang also said a few polite words to Han Wenya, but he was in a very good mood. Han Wenya's appearance did not really fit the image of a witch, and if he did not want to offend the person who sent her here, he would have chased her away long ago.
As soon as Han Wenya left, Director Wang went to find Shi Feiye. He first told Shi Feiye about the plot, and then got to the point:
"Master, Han Wenya left for something, and our witch team is missing someone."
Shi Feiye knew about this. Han Wenya even came to say hello to her when she left. But it was useless to tell her. She was not the assistant director and was not in charge of this.
"Well, who will take over this role next? I will communicate with her then."
Shi Feiye wondered if Director Wang was afraid that he would dislike the trouble of repeating the play?
That couldn't be possible. She still had some professional ethics. It wasn't Director Wang's fault that the actors were replaced midway. Besides, she was just an assistant screenwriter and couldn't do anything about it.
"Don't worry, as long as the other party is willing to listen, I will definitely tell him everything I know."
"Hey, this isn't about the play, it's just that we can't find the right actors right now."
Shi Feiye's heart tightened. Was he planning to remove this role?
"Does Director Wang intend to remove this character? Although she is only a character who appears a few times, she is quite important. The heroine's personality is affected by her, which is related to the development of the subsequent story. Most of the previous background also comes from her. If she is removed, there will be many loopholes in the logic."
"No, no, how can I take it away? If I didn't value this role, I wouldn't have let Han Wenya waste so many days." Director Wang quickly denied:
"I just saw you passing in front of the camera and suddenly realized that you are particularly suitable for this role. Why don't you try it?"
"Me?" This surprised Shi Feiye. "I have never acted in a play before. How can this be possible?"
"What's wrong with that? Look at you, you have good looks, lively expressions, and the most profound understanding of the role. It just so happens that this role doesn't have many scenes, so you can give it a try."
Wang Dao was afraid that Shi Feiye would not agree, so he advised:
"You look like this. As long as you put on your makeup and stand there, you will be the witch. If you are worried about your expression and other things, we can help you with the angles. You don't have to worry about it. It's actually very simple. All you have to do is put on your clothes and stand there. I'm sure you can do it well. You don't want this role to be taken away, do you?"
"But..." Shi Feiye still felt it was not appropriate. She had never acted in a play before.
Wan Fu, who had just finished performing a scene, came over and happened to hear Director Wang's words. She immediately realized what was going on. Almost subconsciously, she imagined Han Wenya's outfit on Shi Feiye. This outfit, to be honest, really made her look like a witch.
Wan Fu's eyes suddenly lit up, she particularly liked the character of the witch, and it was a pity that she was wasted on Han Wenya before, but she had already accepted the role of the supporting actress, otherwise she would have wanted to try it herself.
Now it seems that if Shi Feiye played this role, she would really be the witch.
With the intention of helping Master Feiye become famous and helping Director Wang solve his problems, Wan Fu interrupted and advised:
"Aye, just take this role. If Director Wang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought so. But after Director Wang told me, I really found that you are particularly suitable for this role. Look at you. Put on the witch's clothes and you will be a real-life witch."
"Really? Really? I told you, Master is really suitable for this role."
Wu Chunqian was curious and heard a few words nearby. She came over to listen and also advised:
"Now that you mention it, I also realized that it's really suitable. Why not give it a try? It's such a good role. Even if I don't become an actor in the future, I can keep it as a souvenir. Let's give it a try."
Wan Fu was unwilling to fall behind and continued with a smile:
"With Director Wang here, you don't have to worry about not being able to handle it. Just listen to what Director Wang says and do as he says. The staff will take care of the rest, so you don't have to worry about it. Are you really not going to give it a try?"
The words "leave it as a souvenir" touched Shi Feiye. As a new-age novelist and author, who hasn't been an actor in private?
When she has free time, she would act out plays by herself in the room.
However, he felt that he did not have a serious acting background and had never acted in a play, so he was afraid that he would not be able to act. He used to think that acting was easy, but when he really went to the crew, he realized that it was not that simple. Shi Feiye was a little hesitant.
Seeing that Shi Feiye had begun to hesitate, Director Wang seemed to see something was going to happen:
"It's okay, don't worry, you can think about it, I'll shoot other people's scenes first."
"Well, let me think about it. I also need to discuss it with my husband and give you an answer as soon as possible." Shi Feiye was a little tempted and agreed.
Director Wang achieved his goal, waved happily and called Wan Fu and Wu Chunqian to go shoot the next scene, leaving Shi Feiye here to think about it.
Shi Feiye no longer had the heart to study the script, so she stood up and went to find Qin Buju. She came here only to discuss the script with the actors, while Qin Buju was working at his previous position.
"Have you made an agreement with someone?" Seeing her coming, Qin Buzhu stopped typing on the keyboard.
"Well, it's settled, but I have something to discuss with you." Shi Feiye sat down next to him:
"Director Wang hopes that I can play a role in the play. This role is the leader of the previous evil cult, referred to as the witch. She is very beautiful and has a very cold personality. She doesn't have many scenes. Director Wang hopes that I can play a cameo role."
Qin Bu Ru never thought of interfering in Shi Feiye's career unless Shi Feiye was in danger or difficulty, including acting, even though he did not want Shi Feiye's beauty to be seen by more people.
However, if he wanted to be an actor, there would be more things to consider. He also had to discuss with Zou Lianxun to develop the most suitable route for Shi Feiye and find a way to make her famous safely:
"Do you plan to be an actor in the future?"
"No, I'm not cut out to be an actor, and I don't want to develop in that direction. It's just that this role requires it and the part I have is not that big, plus it's quite important. Director Wang said it's especially suitable for me, so I'm considering whether to take a cameo role."
After giving a bunch of reasons, Qin Buju suddenly asked another question:
"Why did you come back to discuss this with me?"
Shi Feiye was quite puzzled: "You are my husband, how can I not discuss this with you? Besides, we are lovers now, and you are a public figure. If someone finds out that I am making a cameo appearance later, you might be affected too."
Qin Buzhu reached out and tucked the broken hair behind her ears: "Do whatever you want, don't worry about these. As your husband, what I should do is to help you relieve your worries, not let you give in because of me and not be able to do what you like."
"I know, but husband and wife are one. They prosper together and suffer together. I don't have to act. If it affects me, then I won't go. Anyway, it's not something I have to do."
