Chapter 314 The crew is not that easy to get along with (asking for monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)

The crew of "Survey of the Sky".

The script supervisor is clapping on the board: "Survey of the Sky XXX, XX scene XXX shot X, start!"

Then the script supervisor quickly left the camera range, and the camera teacher pushed the camera closer to the two actors in the scene. One was Zhang Youling, who played the second female lead, and the other was Ji Sha, who was forced into the role by Xinghe.

This is a rivalry scene. The third female character finds out that the second female character is actually an undercover agent of the villain. She is so angry that she wants to go up and argue with the second female character. When the argument fails, she goes to expose the second female character to the protagonist group, but she is caught by the second female character.

The second female lead directly erased the third female lead's memory and planted a curse on her.

For this scene, there was no fighting or special effects. It was simply about stirring up emotions and rehearsing lines. However, Ji Sha made it take six takes and still didn't pass.

No matter how good Zhang Youling's temper was, it was about to break, not to mention that Zhang Youling's temper was not very good to begin with.

The camera slowly moved in and focused on Zhang Youling's face. The pitiful expression on that pitiful face changed to a charming look mixed with a hint of sarcasm. Her eyes also became cold. Zhang Youling began to recite her lines: "Since you know everything...so what? Do you think they will believe you or me?"

Ji Sha took a step back: "Don't be so arrogant..."

"Card!"

Stuck again!

Zhang Youling almost went crazy when she heard the director say "cut". Ji Sha also turned around in panic, not knowing what she had done wrong.

The director was going crazy: "Lines! Lines! Ji Sha, haven't you learned how to recite lines? You are here to question the other party, where is your momentum? Where is your anger? Where is the grievance of taking the blame for being deceived? Ah, you look so timid, reciting lines like reciting a text, and reciting a text is more emotional than you!"

Ji Sha was scolded so much that she couldn't even raise her head: "I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry, director! It's my fault that I failed to guide her well!" Before Ji Sha finished her words, Zhang Youling had already adjusted her mood and bowed to the director to apologize, as if the person being scolded was Zhang Youling herself instead of Ji Sha.

"I'm sorry, sorry everyone, I've delayed everyone's progress."

Zhang Youling pulled Ji Sha, and Ji Sha had no choice but to apologize, but Zhang Youling said, "Director, we have already shot this take many times. I'm afraid it won't work if we force it. How about taking a break? I'll go down and rehearse with Ji Sha to help her find her form. What do you think?"

The director held his breath, but Ji Sha got in through the producer's channel, and Zhang Youling gave him enough face, so he couldn't get angry anymore, so he could only wave his hand impatiently: "Take a ten-minute break! Hurry up and find your state, otherwise this scene will take so long to shoot, what will we do when the fight scenes and props are needed later?"

"Thank you, thank you director!"

Zhang Youling pulled Ji Sha to a quieter corner and prepared to talk to her about the play.

But Ji Sha was obviously in a low mood: "Sister Lingling, am I really a bad actor? The director scolds me several times every day..."

You may have heard it several times, but Zhang Youling feels that the director must have cursed at least hundreds of times a day in his heart to vent his anger.

Because the original third female lead of the drama was an actress who was not very popular but had very good acting skills, in order to attract attention and recoup costs as soon as possible, the drama "Sky Survey" had already stuffed a lot of idol stars into the crew, and the director was already very dissatisfied.

As a result, Ji Sha was even more amazing. She directly replaced one of the few remaining actors with good acting skills. If Ji Sha's acting skills were just okay, the director might have turned a blind eye to it, but Ji Sha really can't act.

When you are angry, you will just stare! When you are unhappy, you will just pout!

When I feel sad, I just lower my head and rub my eyes...

How could the director not curse?

But Zhang Youling would not say this to Ji Sha: "Look at it in a positive way. This also shows that there is a lot of room for improvement in your acting skills, right? Let's not talk about this anymore. Let me tell you how to act in this scene."

"Thank you, Sister Lingling. If you hadn't been helping me with the story, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Zhang Youling laughed. If it weren’t for the fact that I have so many scenes with you and I’m afraid that you’ll delay my filming progress and affect my reputation, I wouldn’t bother to pay attention to you! Moreover, because of your sudden appearance, I’ve become a joke in the crew, and I have to take care of you like a nanny. If I don’t get all the benefits from you, I’m not Zhang Youling! But on the surface, Zhang Youling smiled harmlessly: "It’s okay, we are all from the same company. I tell you, the most important thing in this scene is emotion. The outburst of emotion can make the conflict more obvious. Do you know how to quarrel? Just bring out the feeling of quarreling with others, and the emotion will be full enough..."

Ji Sha nodded repeatedly.

…

Ten minutes later.

"《Sky Survey Record XXX》, XX scene XXX mirror X+1 time, start!"

The director sat behind the camera, watching the scene in the lens. He didn't know whether Zhang Youling's "explanation of the scene" to Ji Sha had worked, or Ji Sha herself understood the key points of the scene. In any case, the filming of the scene went relatively smoothly this time. It passed in two takes, and another take was also secured.

But I didn’t notice it when I was filming. But when I watched it again at night, the director felt that it was a bit inconsistent.

The assistant director also noticed something was wrong: "Is there something wrong with the performance of this third female lead?"

"What's the problem?"

"I don't know, I can't explain it, anyway, it feels a bit inconsistent." The assistant director shook his head, "The third female lead has no acting skills at all, it's normal that she was overshadowed by Zhang Youling. Not only the third female lead, but the other idols are all the same. Acting with these professional actors, the difference is obvious."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

However, it is these people who have no acting skills who bring the most attention and popularity to the entire show.

Those actors with good acting skills, especially the veteran ones, no matter how well they perform, their appeal is less than one tenth of the popularity of these people. This is also a tragedy in the entertainment industry.

The director watched all the shots of the scene again and vaguely knew the answer in his mind, but this did not conflict with the whole play. On the contrary, the effect on Zhang Youling's side was very good.

The director pondered for a while and decided to keep the scene.

…

On the other side, Zhang Youling was talking on the phone with Yang Hongxia: "Sister Xia, I'm really going crazy because of Ji Sha. She really has no acting skills at all. Standing there is worse than a wooden stake. Even the post-production cutouts are better than this."

Yang Hongxia smiled: "I heard that you took the initiative to help her talk about the play."

"Hey! I'm your senior!"

Zhang Youling laughed when she talked about this.

Acting is a very delicate thing. Both understanding and expression are very important. A look, the tone of a line, or a small body movement can produce different effects.

Ji Sha, the third female character, is honest, innocent but a little reckless. If this character is well understood and expressed, she will definitely gain a lot of fans after the show is broadcast.

Unfortunately, Ji Sha can't act, and with Zhang Youling's deliberate guidance, she turned an honest girl into a rude and unreasonable young lady, becoming a supporting role to set off Zhang Youling's second female role.

Yang Hongxia doesn't care about the intrigues in the crew: "Just don't go too far. The director is not blind."

"Got it. I won't affect others." Zhang Youling responded, "By the way, Sister Xia, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I have good news. Are you interested in singing the ending song of your drama?"
