Chapter 66 Out of Control
Hu Xiaoxiao's idea was good and her thinking was right. When she came before the director wearing the look she had thought of, his eyes lit up.
She wore a black beret on her head and her curly hair was tied into two loose low ponytails with a headband, hanging in front of her chest, which made her already beautiful face even more delicate, and her age seemed to be in line with the identity of the role.
Wearing a black knee-length dress with a lotus leaf collar, her face glowed white, and carrying a white backpack on her back, she exuded a youthful aura. The whole character is more vivid than Chang Sisi, who was described in just one sentence in the script. She looks like a character who has walked out of the script.
However, she had never acted before, which was particularly fatal and also caused her to encounter the greatest difficulties.
"Cut!" The director called for a stop with a headache.
"Hu Xiaoxiao!" the director shouted angrily, "Look at the camera! What are you looking at the actors for? Look at the camera! The camera is here, you have to find the right position!"
Hu Xiaoxiao puffed out his cheeks, making them look like goldfish cheeks. "Director, do it again."
The male protagonist Fang Jin holds the female protagonist Chang Anan's hand and expresses his love to her.
Chang Anan was surprised and nervous when suddenly a familiar voice called her, "Big Sister!"
The camera turned and a girl appeared on the screen. The girl looked at the camera——
"Cut!" the director called for a stop again. "Hu Xiaoxiao, I told you to look at the camera, not stare at it? Why are you staring at it? Are you looking in the mirror?"
Even from a distance, one could hear the director scolding Hu Xiaoxiao through the loudspeaker.
The film crew of "With You All the Way" chose a new building as the filming location. The facilities and roads were very new. In addition, the building was not due for completion until a month later, so there were few people and cars on the road, which made for good filming. Therefore, the crew chose this location for several scenes.
When Xie Zhiheng first heard Hu Xiaoxiao's name, he thought he had misheard it, and that he was hallucinating because he wanted to deal with that woman so much.
After hearing Hu Xiaoxiao several times in a row, he walked to the balcony and looked down.
It really is that goblin.
Why does this goblin look younger?
Why didn't this demon fight back after being scolded by the director? Isn't she very sharp-tongued?
Are you so cowardly today?
Xie Zhiheng felt surprisingly relieved when he saw Hu Xiaoxiao being scolded by the director. He blew a long whistle at Hu Xiaoxiao, causing everyone in the crew to look up.
Hu Xiaoxiao also looked up and saw him holding the balcony railing, wearing sunglasses and a plaid shirt, his hair still combed into a stylish 3:7 part with mousse.
But the smile on his face was still evil.
Hu Xiaoxiao withdrew his gaze and turned his attention back to acting.
She constantly adjusts herself, sums up her experience, and thinks about how to perform the role in front of the camera.
Finally, I passed the next one.
The director was also tired, so he asked them to rest for a while, adjusted the camera position, and started shooting the next scene.
Meng Qi, the actress who played the leading actress, brought water to the director. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao pondering something, she whispered to the director, "Director, she's affecting the process. Why don't we change her?"
The director took a sip of water and glanced at her calmly, "She only has a few scenes in the entire play, how much influence can she have?"
"I just feel bad for you because I see you're so tired. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish filming today."
"There's really no other way, so just shoot her face." For good-looking people, just standing there doesn't have to do anything, and it's a beautiful shot. The director saw through Meng Qi's thoughts and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're afraid of being suppressed by her."
"Since you knew that, why did you find such a beautiful supporting actress? She's completely stolen my spot." Meng Qi was a little dissatisfied.
The director was even more dissatisfied and directly criticized Meng Qi: "A few scenes can crush you. You might as well change your career as soon as possible."
Although Hu Xiaoxiao's constant NGs annoyed him, she was willing to learn and didn't use her Miss Hong Kong title to act like a big shot. It was clear she was constantly learning. Compared to those actresses who acted like big shots, the director thought she was pretty good.
Moreover, there is another very important reason. Hu Xiaoxiao's joining can somewhat improve the value of his play.
He was a director with no background, and he had finally secured a role in a drama, which he was eager to make. However, the drama received too little investment, and many people were not optimistic about it. The male and female leads were both unknown artists, and the supporting cast was the worst.
This drama will definitely not be able to be released in the evening, at most it will be a daytime slot. If you are unlucky, it will be suppressed and there is no telling when it will be released.
But now that Hu Xiaoxiao has joined, things are different. Hu Xiaoxiao is so popular that maybe she can increase the popularity of this drama. Moreover, she is really beautiful. Even if she can't act yet, she is so beautiful in front of the camera that people can't take their eyes off her.
With this reason, maybe it will be able to go on the daytime slot smoothly.
The next scene is when Chang Sisi comes to her sister Chang Anan and Fang Jin and asks, "Who is he?"
In today's play, Hu Xiaoxiao only has two lines, one of which is: "Big sister."
Another is: "Who is he?"
“Action!”
Chang Sisi walked up to Chang Anan, glanced at Fang Jin, and asked Chang Anan: "Who is he?"
"Crt!" The director called for a stop again.
Hu Xiaoxiao quickly glanced towards the camera: "Was it wrong again?" She had just gone over this several times in her mind.
The director said loudly, "Hu Xiaoxiao, squat down for a moment. Make sure you're half a head lower than Meng Qi."
It turns out that Hu Xiaoxiao is half a head taller than Meng Qi, and when they stand like this, the picture looks disharmonious in front of the camera.
Hu Xiaoxiao followed the director's instructions and squatted down a little, just at the height of Meng Yi's eyebrows. On the screen, they immediately had the feeling of an older sister and a younger sister.
“Action!”
"Who is he?" Chang Sisi asked.
"Hahahaha——" An uncontrollable laugh rang out. Xie Zhiheng came to watch from the side without knowing when. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao squatting with his legs in a weird position and acting, he couldn't suppress his laughter at all.
God knows how long it has been since he laughed so uncontrollably.
The director didn't dare to say anything, let alone scold. He recognized this as the famous Mr. Xie in Hong Kong. The property next door was developed by the Xie family. If he angered Mr. Xie and didn't allow them to film there, it would be terrible.
The director had to stop the performance and wait until Xie Zhiheng stopped laughing before starting again.
“Action!”
"Hahahaha——" Xie Zhiheng laughed unscrupulously again.
After squatting for several times, Hu Xiaoxiao's legs became sore.
Hu Xiaoxiao stood up straight, rubbed his knees, and walked towards Xie Zhiheng.
Xie Zhiheng took off his sunglasses, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked Hu Xiaoxiao: "Are all your scenes so funny? It's so funny, why aren't you laughing?"
