Before filming a basketball game, professional technical advisors conduct on-site pre-game tactics training.
After the director, art director, and cinematographer arranged the stage positioning and lighting, and finalized the allocation, the two teams began to enter the arena one after another.
Bai Qianmo plays Jiang Jiu, a small forward who is responsible for the most important scoring task.
The male lead, Yan Zhen, naturally got the main center position, the axis of the whole court, closest to the basketball hoop, mainly responsible for close-range dunks and shots.
Yu Zhehan plays the second male lead, Ji Sichen, who is responsible for point guard, while the other two male actors play power forward and shooting guard.
Before filming began, Yu Zhehan dribbled a basketball past Bai Qianmo provocatively, giving her a cold glance that was full of ill intent.
Bai Qianmo's eyelids twitched slightly. She paused briefly and glanced at all the players present.
"Scene 1, First Shot in Group C"
"Action!"
As soon as the clapperboard sounded, all the actors quickly got into character.
A clear whistle rang out.
The referee serves the ball, and the two teams vie for the first ball.
The male protagonist's team gets the first ball, and the sports school students quickly surround and intercept it with all their might.
The plot here involves the shooting guard throwing the ball to the point guard (the second male lead), Yu Zhehan faking a shot before passing it to the small forward Jiang Jiu, who then throws it to the male lead Gu Hongxun, resulting in a goal.
But in reality, the moment Yu Zhehan got the ball, he began to move closer to Bai Qianmo. In the gap when Bai Qianmo reached out to catch the ball, a sports school student rushed up from behind her and knocked Bai Qianmo aside. Then Yu Zhehan turned around and headed towards Gu Hongxun's location.
"Cut!" Director Zhao picked up the walkie-talkie with a cold face.
"What just happened? Yu Zhehan, you should have passed the ball to Bai Qianmo."
Yu Zhehan, holding the basketball, gave Bai Qianmo a cold, wicked look: "Director, Bai Qianmo doesn't know how to play basketball at all. I just handed her the ball, but she just stood there dumbfounded when the opposing player came up to intercept. What could I do?"
The actor who bumped into Bai Qianmo also spoke up: "Director, Yu Zhehan is right. Bai Qianmo doesn't know how to play basketball at all. I just faked a move in front of her, and she was completely confused. How are we supposed to continue filming like this?"
Zhao Miao's face was grim. He said in a deep voice, "Qianmo, pay attention. Filming group scenes requires the actors to cooperate with each other. Don't hold everyone back!"
Bai Qianmo didn't say much, but looked at Yu Zhehan with a cold gaze.
She finally understood what Yu Zhehan meant by that malicious look. Before filming started, the actors had already discussed their tactics, all with the aim of making her look foolish.
When Yu Zhehan passed the ball to her, the actor playing a sports school student crashed into her hard, but was blocked by Yu Zhehan's tall body, so even if she told the truth, no one would believe her.
"Scene 1, shot 2 in Group C!"
"Action!!"
This time, Yu Zhehan didn't use the old tricks to trip up Bai Qianmo. Instead, he deliberately avoided passing the ball to her in other situations. With all the other players on the court acting as accomplices, Bai Qianmo was isolated and helpless, unable to even touch the basketball.
The stadium erupted in boos.
One of the girls shouted, "If Bai Qianmo can't play basketball, then get down here! Don't waste everyone's time!"
At this sound, the audience members began to shout.
"I suggest using a stunt double for this scene, otherwise everyone will be unable to finish work on time today because of Bai Qianmo alone."
"Let Bai Qianmo come down!"
"Director, make Bai Qianmo roll down here right now!!"
During the third NG (no good) attempt, Zhao Miao finally lost her temper.
Gu Hongxun said coldly, "Director Zhao, if we don't change the actor, this scene won't be filmed well at all. Let's use a stand-in instead."
"Yes, director, Bai Qianmo doesn't know anything about basketball. If we keep filming like this, we won't finish until dark."
"We were all exhausted by her. This scene could have been filmed in one take, but because of her, we had to shoot it three times."
The actors' complaints grew louder and louder. Yu Zhehan had a smug look on his face, as if he didn't think the anger of the crowd was burning bright enough, so he deliberately added fuel to the fire.
"I heard we only rented this basketball court for half a day? Now that I think about it, more than half the time has already passed!"
Sitting in the audience, Su Le'er had a happy smile on her face: "Xi Ruo, what did I tell you? I knew Bai Qianmo couldn't play Jiang Jiu well. Today she can just wait to be scolded to death by the director."
Bai Xiruo came to visit Gu Hongxun on set today. She and Su Le'er are good friends, so Su Le'er dragged her over to be a temporary actress. Gu Hongxun mainly wanted Bai Xiruo to see him dominating on the basketball court.
Staring at the figure being scolded on the field, Bai Xiruo felt particularly relieved.
Seeing Bai Qianmo unhappy is what makes her happiest.
"I've read this book. Although Bai Qianmo's appearance was quite unexpected, what an actor needs is a connection of souls, and she still lacks that."
Su Le'er snorted disdainfully: "With her acting skills, she can't handle this role at all, yet she shamelessly insists on taking this role. She's simply overestimating herself."
Bai Xiruo smiled gently and said, "So you can rest assured, she definitely won't steal your thunder."
"That's true!" Su Le'er raised an eyebrow and smiled, feeling quite pleased with herself!
*
Zhao Miao called everyone together again to give instructions: "Take a five-minute break, and we'll continue filming in five minutes."
Bai Qianmo sat in an empty seat in the first row of the basketball court. Xia Wei ran over from behind and handed her a bottle of water: "Qianmo, don't be nervous, I believe in you!"
