Pei Ran's eyes also fell on Chu Meibo and Guo Wenyuan. Their eyes met in the air and they nodded slightly to each other.

Originally, the other actors and staff on the scene were watching Chu Meibo and Guo Wenyuan's audition, but after Pei Ran appeared, many people looked at him secretly. Seeing that he was young, handsome and noble, they thought he was a young man from the Shen family.

Several actors who were about the same age as Song Yimian secretly asked him. Song Yimian knew that Pei Ran was a newly signed artist by Shen Huai, but he was not sure if he could say it now, so he could only stammer and fool around. However, his attitude made people more convinced that the identity of this young man was not simple.

Shen Huai did not disturb Director Xie, and because someone called, he gave instructions to Pei Ran and Song Yimian and walked out of the set.

Pei Ran didn't care, just curiously looked at the set, which was both strange and familiar compared to his memory, and made him feel nostalgic.

Song Yimian looked at Pei Ran's handsome profile, and immediately forgot the pressure Pei Ran had put on him in the car. Instead, he felt like a senior brother. He walked over and patted Pei Ran on the shoulder: "Xiao Pei, you stay with me for a while, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Pei Ran was slightly stunned, but when he saw Song Yimian's serious expression, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Song Yimian nodded heavily and carefully led him behind Director Xie. This angle was the best in the whole scene, and he could also see the picture on the monitor.

Although Song Yimian only played a small role in the play, he has been in the crew for such a long time, learning and helping with some stage work.

Director Xie admired this hardworking and motivated young man very much. He occasionally gave him guidance on weekdays and even tacitly allowed him to stand behind him and watch other actors' performances. So, this position became exclusive to Song Yimian, but he took into account that it was Pei Ran's first day, so he let him take his seat. Director

Xie also noticed Pei Ran behind him and knew that this was brought by Shen Huai. Shen Huai had called him before and told him about this matter, but Director Xie did not expect this child to be so good-looking. Moreover, from his perspective as a film director, his good looks were not the kind of rigid good looks, but full of aura, which was very suitable for the big screen.

Director Xie also felt a little emotional. He wondered where Shen Huai had found these talents. His vision and luck were simply amazing.

However, Director Xie only thought about it. He quickly gathered his mind and devoted himself to the filming.

With a shout of "Action!",

the entire set immediately changed from a gossipy and chatty atmosphere to a professional one. The only sound left on the scene was the sound of the machines turning.

Director Xie sat in front of the monitor, staring intently at the picture in the camera.

Pei Ran looked at the scene in front of him, which was both strange and familiar. A trace of nostalgia arose in his heart. He walked lightly behind Director Xie and stared at the monitor like him.

This scene is about a branch of the underground party being discovered by the Japanese army. Cheng Yanxin helped the surviving underground party members to move, but revealed some flaws. Yokota came to Cheng Yanxin with evidence to confront her. Cheng Yanxin was not afraid of danger and dispelled Yokota's doubts.

The camera followed behind Chu Meibo, slowly swayed into the room, and then turned from her back to the front.

Cheng Yanxin was wearing an exquisite cheongsam, but her face was a little tired. She casually put her handbag on the table and walked towards the dressing table. However, after she took two steps, she seemed to realize something and paused, but soon recovered to her nonchalant look, sat directly in front of the dressing table, raised her hand and began to take off her earrings.

A close-up shot fell on her face. Her expression seemed casual, but her jaw was tense and her eyes were downcast. She scanned the corners of the room through the mirror on the dressing table.

This part was very delicate and required a lot from the actors. In today's film industry, such close-ups are usually added after long shots. However, Chu Meibo was so good, so Director Xie directly adopted high requirements. Fortunately, Chu Meibo never let him down.

Song Yimian had forgotten his original intention of taking care of Pei Ran at this time. He stared at Chu Meibo in the scene and silently pondered in his heart.

However, Pei Ran's eyes moved away from the monitor and looked at the set, whispering: "What a pity..."

His voice was as low as a whisper, and only Song Yimian heard it. He turned his head to look at Pei Ran in confusion.

At the same time, Director Xie frowned: "Cut!"

Song Yimian's expression had changed from confusion to shock: "You..."

Pei Ran's eyes fell on the camera taking a close-up, and he still whispered: "The angle just now was wrong. This scene is actually to express a sense of crisis. It would be better if the angle was downward with a sense of oppression. Now it's too peaceful..."

At this time, Director Xie had also stood up and walked over: "The previous section was too peaceful, change it, try a bird's-eye view..."

Song Yimian looked at Pei Ran's expression at this moment, which had changed from shock to admiration. He thought Pei Ran was also an actor, but he didn't expect that he was a technical worker.

Pei Ran didn't seem surprised by the insult. Although the shooting environment he had back then had changed a lot compared to now, the essence remained the same. He could see that these were not rare.

Director Xie adjusted the lens and the lighting before restarting this shot.

Cheng Yanxin sat in front of the dressing table and took off her earrings. From the darkness behind her came the sound of military boots hitting the floor. Cheng Yanxin's back stiffened slightly.

Yokota's appearance gradually appeared in the mirror of the dressing table. He squinted his eyes, but his gaze fell on Cheng Yanxin in the mirror. He said in not very standard Chinese: "Ms. Cheng, good evening."

Cheng Yanxin's hands on the table slowly clenched into fists.

She seemed to take a deep breath, stood up and turned around, with a perfect smile on her face: "Mr. Yokota, this is my private residence. It's not good for you to show up here so late."

The camera zoomed out and the two of them appeared in the camera at the same time.

Yokota raised his hand and touched his beard, looking Cheng Yanxin up and down: "Miss Cheng, don't worry, I just want to ask you a few questions. As long as you answer them well, I will leave immediately and will not touch you at all."

Cheng Yanxin crossed her arms and said in a slightly cold voice: "Oh? What important questions does Mr. Yokota have that he has to break into a private house so late to ask? Although I am despised as an actor, I am still a decent person after all. It's Mr. Yokota. You said before that you were my fan. I was a little happy in my heart, but now it seems that you are not sincere. "

Her expression was not broken at all. Yokota paused while stroking his beard, but took a step forward and spoke slowly: "Don't worry, Miss Cheng, my soldiers are guarding all around. No idle people will show up and ruin Miss Cheng's reputation."

This seemed to be an explanation, but it was actually a threat.

Cheng Yanxin's hand on her side clenched into a fist involuntarily, but she quickly let go. She showed an offended look: "It seems that I can't refuse? Well, please finish your questions as soon as possible, Mr. Yokota."

Yokota smiled: "Miss Cheng, don't worry. The night is long. We can drink tea and chat."

He clapped his hands, and a soldier came over with a teapot and teacups. After placing them on the tea table, he saluted Yokota and turned away.

Yokota walked to the sofa and sat down. He raised his hand to pour two cups of tea and motioned Cheng Yanxin to come over: "Miss Cheng, please have tea."

The camera angle changed again. Although the two were still in the same picture, Cheng Yanxin was farther away and Yokota was closer. Although he was sitting, he looked more powerful by using this angle.

Although this scene was shot flat, the two people used their movements, expressions and the rhythm of their language to create a tense and dangerous atmosphere, which made people dare not breathe.

Song Yimian was watching from the side, but Pei Ran was obviously much more rational.

He had known the true identities of Chu Meibo and Guo Wenyuan for a long time, but he had never seen them filming before. Now that he saw it, he couldn't help but sigh that these two people are worthy of being the peak of their era. This evenly matched performance was so wonderful that it made him a little moved.

This scene is very long, and of course it is impossible to finish it in one shot.

In fact, for actors, this is also the most difficult part of filming, because the shots are fiddly. Sometimes, after finally getting into the role, they get stuck after taking a shot, but they still have to maintain their emotions to get into the next shot.

Sometimes it is difficult for actors to get into the role, and the adjustment time is very long, and it may take a long time to finish a shot.

However, Chu Meibo and Guo Wenyuan seemed to not need this stage. As long as Director Xie shouted "shoot", the two of them could quickly get into the role. Even if there was a CUT, most of the time it was because they had to adjust the lens or lighting, because the chances of their performance being stuck were very few.

For the director, it is so comfortable to work with such actors.

Director Xie was a little excited, and if the assistant director hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten to take a break.

Filming is not only an artistic job, but also a physical job. Both actors and staff members need to expend a lot of physical energy. The actors all sat on chairs and let the makeup artists touch up their makeup. The staff put down their machines, went to the toilet, ate snacks, and Director Xie leaned on his chair and took a sip of strong tea to refresh himself.

Pei Ran had watched for so long and had a general understanding of Director Xie's shooting style, so he began to wander around the set.

Song Yimian had patted his chest and said before that Pei Ran could ask him if he didn't know anything, but since Pei Ran showed that trick, Song Yimian gave up.

Pei Ran went to ask questions to the staff himself. His face was too deceptive, and he was almost always successful. He gained a lot from this round.

Who would have thought that at this moment, a photographer suddenly covered his stomach with a pale face, which scared everyone. After a lot of trouble, they found out that he had acute gastritis.

Director Xie asked someone to send him to the hospital, but the filming could not be interrupted, so he had to let the assistant photographer take over temporarily.

However, the assistant photographer had not been with Director Xie for many years, and he could not understand what Director Xie meant, so Director Xie called the card several times.

In the end, Director Xie had no choice but to let them rest first to avoid exhausting the actors. If the assistant photographer still couldn't adjust well, he would have to give up the simultaneous filming and finish the main shot before adding details.

The photography assistant was sitting on the side with his head down and looking depressed. Pei Ran saw this and walked over to him and whispered a few words.

The photography assistant was surprised and hesitant: "Are you sure?"

Pei Ran raised his eyebrows and showed his usual harmless smile: "You can try."
