Chapter 207: Also stealing the stand-in’s role?
After receiving such a firm guarantee from Hu Xiaoxiao, and seeing Hu Xiaoxiao's full confidence and fighting spirit, the two people who thought they were old were infected by this fresh energy, and they felt the boldness and adventurousness they had in their youth, and they were eager to discuss how to change the play.
"Since Xiaoxiao dares to come up, we can be bolder." Lin Yi has already started to think about the plot in his mind.
Qi Weiming fully supports this: "Young people are not afraid, so why should we be afraid? There is no reason to shrink back when we get older."
Lin Yi stood up, picked up the thermos cup, and said, "I won't waste my time talking to you. I'm going back to write the script."
Because the rooftop scene was a collaboration with Song Yan'an, Song Yan'an was the first person to know that the play had been changed.
When he was acting opposite Hu Xiaoxiao, he asked her, "Why are you working so hard?"
Hu Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course: "I either don't do it, or I will do it to the best of my ability."
Either don’t act, or act the best you can.
Song Yanan had never seen an actor as hardworking and energetic as Hu Xiaoxiao. He had strong professional skills, was a good person, and was a quick learner. He was very special and unique.
She is very eye-catching. She is full of energy not only on stage, but also in life.
The more Song Yan'an spent time with Hu Xiaoxiao, the more he admired her. "Being able to fight is a good thing, but you also have to be careful. When I was young, I didn't know the seriousness of the situation and dared to take on any dangerous scenes. Later, I fell from a height and almost ruined my entire acting career."
Song Yan'an told Hu Xiaoxiao about the detours he had taken in the past and taught her some techniques he had figured out on his own.
Hu Xiaoxiao listened attentively. What Song Yan'an taught her was much easier and less time-consuming than trying to figure things out on her own. Sometimes, to achieve realism, she would deliberately fall down, but Song Yan'an taught her several methods that both prevented her from falling and made her acting convincing, which was very useful to Hu Xiaoxiao.
After Lin Yi got the inspiration, he wrote the script very quickly. In less than two days, he finished the rooftop chase scene and gave a copy to Song Yanan and Hu Xiaoxiao respectively.
Hu Xiaoxiao received the script, read it, and smiled with satisfaction again.
Not only is there a rooftop chase, but there are also some scenes that promote the characters' emotions. It has both excitement and emotion, a combination of work and rest, which is more in line with the tastes of today's audiences.
After Hu Xiaoxiao got the script, he immediately memorized the lines.
There weren't many lines, and the main scene was a thrilling rooftop scene. After Hu Xiaoxiao finished memorizing her lines, she knew there were still two days before filming this rooftop scene, so she specially found several rooftops for thrilling scenes at the film and television studio, constantly trying to get the hang of it.
After Qi Weiming got the new script, he did not neglect this time and notified everyone who needed to be notified.
Xia Lu received a notice that she would not have the rooftop scene.
Even though the rooftop scene mainly had a few close-ups of her face, this was also one of her important scenes, so why was it gone?
She can't go up to the roof to do thrilling actions, doesn't she have a stunt double?
Is there something wrong with Hu Xiaoxiao? Is he stealing the scenes from his stunt double?
Xia Lu immediately went to the director and asked, "Director Qi, why did you change my play?"
Qi Weiming explained to her, "For the rooftop scene, if you use a body double, the result won't be that good. If you let Hu Xiaoxiao do it, not only will I not need a body double, I also plan to shoot the whole scene in one take. For the final effect, I have no choice but to replace you with Hu Xiaoxiao."
"Director Qi, you can't do this."
"So what do you want?" Qi Weiming's patience ran out. He could be nice to Xia Lu because Xiu had asked him to do something for her, but when it came to work, his favors were limited; everything else had to take a back seat. And last time, when Xia Lu was revising the mayor's dinner scene, she nearly screwed Qi Weiming over.
Qi Weiming trusted Xia Lu so much, but Xia Lu actually wanted to cheat him. He had long been dissatisfied with Xia Lu.
Seeing Xia Lu running over to question him, Qi Weiming said impatiently: "Unless you don't use a double for the rooftop scene and your performance is better than Hu Xiaoxiao's, then I will change the scene back. If not, shut up, I'm the director!"
Xia Lu bit her lip. She didn't dare to climb up. When she first entered the film industry, she was also very adventurous. But when she was filming an action movie, she fell from a height. If she hadn't been caught on her clothes, she would have died.
Now, whenever she climbed to a high place, she couldn't help but think of that day when she was hooked in the air, with the hard floor below, and the props fell to the ground one by one and shattered into pieces.
She had nightmares for half a year, and every time she dreamed that she fell and shattered into pieces like the props that fell.
Xia Lu didn't have the courage to do it again, especially in one take. This thrilling action was too difficult to shoot. Even if she didn't have the trauma of the past, she couldn't do it.
Xia Lu said aggrievedly, "Director Qi, you gave all the exciting and wonderful scenes to Hu Xiaoxiao, so what about me? What should I play?"
Qi Weiming didn't give her any good face at all, saying, "You're acting furious! Running around downstairs!"
Xia Lu's face fell. If it was played like this, the character of Yamamoto Masako would be even less remarkable.
But seeing that Qi Weiming didn't want to communicate with her at all, Xia Lu was afraid of offending Qi Weiming, so she could only swallow her anger.
However, she could swallow this in front of Qi Weiming, but she could never swallow it in front of Hu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao coming to the crew, Xia Lu asked angrily: "Hu Xiaoxiao, why did you steal my role?"
Hu Xiaoxiao said innocently, "It's just that I snatched a few shameless scenes. Why are you so nervous?"
"You still dare to curse?"
"Did I curse? Stand-ins never show their faces in scenes, so aren't they shameless? I didn't say you were shameless, so why did you admit that you are such a person?"
"Are you resentful of me for changing the script of the mayor's dinner?" Xia Lu asked.
"That's right. You can steal my show, so why can't I steal yours? As the ancients said, 'It's impolite not to reciprocate.'" Hu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but praise herself: "I'm really too polite."
Xia Lu came to cause trouble for Hu Xiaoxiao, but instead of feeling relieved, she felt even more aggrieved.
The news of Hu Xiaoxiao's extra scenes spread throughout the crew, and everyone was envious. But they could only envy her for a moment, as they didn't have Hu Xiaoxiao's ability to convince both the director and the screenwriter to change the script for her.
I heard that Xia Lu also asked the director to change the play. Some people thought that Yuna was an equally important character and her status in the TV station was not low, so they encouraged Yuna to ask the director and screenwriter to add some more scenes.
Una refused to be prodded and said, "If you want to compete with Hu Xiaoxiao, then go ahead and do it. Don't drag me into it. I have my dignity before the screenwriter and director, not to mention Ji Sheng. And Xia Lu, don't compete with her either. She has Xiu behind her. When gods fight, why should mortals get involved?"
