The director has a fiery temper. He probably called Yu Xiangming's agent, vented his anger, and then hung up while cursing.
Although Yu Xiangming is the heir of Tianyu Media, not everyone respects him.
The director said angrily, "Film the other scenes first, and postpone Yu Xiangming's scenes."
After some adjustments, filming finally began.
The filming actually went more smoothly without Yu Xiangming.
Qin Yun, Ji Zhuoyi, and Zhou Ban are all talented actors. With the director's guidance, they can deliver the performance the director wants.
Shi Xi is intelligent and willing to learn, and the director is very tolerant of her and willing to teach her more.
At the end of the day, Shi Xi didn't have many scenes, but she learned a lot.
The makeup in serious dramas is very light.
Shi Xi used to appear in full makeup when acting in web dramas.
When filming serious dramas, we discovered that the director's requirements were different.
Net elements.
Use only earth tones for eyeshadow, do not wear false eyelashes, and do not use overly bright lipstick.
“You’re already very beautiful, so keep your makeup simple. If it’s a romantic scene, keep your lip makeup light so that people’s attention is drawn to your eyes.” The director explained the makeup to Shi Xi while having her necklace removed. “Don’t wear gold or silver jewelry either; it’s tacky and unnecessary for you.”
Shi Xi held out her hand, "Where's this jade bracelet?"
The director took a few more glances and, recognizing its quality, remarked, "This violet hue is quite nice!"
Shi Xi smiled faintly and said, "It is quite beautiful."
The director glanced at her up and down, "You can wear the bracelet, but not the necklace."
Those are really high standards.
Shi Xi complained inwardly, but still followed the director's instructions and removed all the extra jewelry.
"Tie your hair up in a high ponytail." The director looked her over, still not satisfied.
"Director, I'm already dressed quite plainly, I can't lose any more weight." Shi Xi felt like she was only wearing clothes.
The director stepped back a little, continuing to observe Shi Xi, and then discussed something with Qin Yun.
Shi Xi: ...
My storyline? Discuss it with me!
What are you discussing with others?!
Seeing that the director was ignoring her, Shi Xi simply opened the script.
In "Gallen Era", Qin Yun is a career woman nearing thirty.
She plays a senior intern who has just graduated from university, a completely different situation from Qin Yun.
This scene depicts the male and female leads going to school to watch their nephew/cousin's basketball game, where they bump into each other and some events unfold.
The character played by Shi Xi was a former member of the basketball team and was invited by her junior to watch a game.
The director wanted Shi Xi to have a fresh, refined, and stunning effect as soon as she appeared on screen.
But Shi Xi acted in it several times, and the director was still not satisfied.
Taking a break.
Zhu Lin handed Shi Xi some water and asked in a low voice, "What did the director say? We've filmed it seven or eight times already, and your makeup has been changed four or five times!"
Initially, the director wanted a stunning effect, so he had Shi Xi wear full makeup.
However, it was too beautiful and glamorous, and the director felt that the effect was a bit overdone.
Then I gradually changed my makeup and hairstyle.
I've changed my clothes more than a dozen times.
It still didn't meet the director's expectations.
Shi Xi drank her water and said, "I don't know what effect the director wants either."
She thought the first time was pretty good.
The amazement the extras felt when she appeared was genuine.
But the director thought it wouldn't work.
Zhu Lin asked in surprise, "This scene won't be delayed for a whole day, will it?"
Shi Xi shook her head, "I don't know, I heard this director is very strict."
Different directors have different requirements.
If she were on the set of "Nine Lives of Peace", she would have nailed it on the first take.
