After hearing what Director Yan said, Nan Wan returned to her original position and did it again.
"Don't shake your head. There's no need to shake your hair for this scene. Tang Xi is a gentle and kind person, she wouldn't make such a big movement."
"Don't just turn your head, turn your upper body too."
Nan Wan still did not meet Director Yan's standards.
So, this action was filmed over and over again.
At first, Nan Wan thought to herself: It doesn't matter. Shi Xi also had dozens of takes. What does it matter if we have to do a few more takes to get such a good shot?
In the end, Nan Wan's smile became so stiff that Director Yan still didn't approve.
"Why do you smile so forcedly? Your eyes should be bright! Don't look so miserable!"
After more than fifty takes, Director Yan was getting impatient. He wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with, but he was being patient because of the money.
but.
The producer had previously told him that Nan Wan was a graduate of a proper art academy, majoring in acting, and had even studied acting abroad, so her acting skills were definitely better than Shi Xi's.
Now it seems like it was all a fucking lie!
Men never tell the truth!
He would rather Shi Xi be the one to film it!
Although Shi Xi's acting skills are poor, they are very expressive, and she is willing to learn as long as she is taught.
Shi Xi had previous experience in film crews and had acted in campus dramas, so she had basic acting experience. Moreover, she was very camera-savvy; as soon as she stepped onto the set, Shi Xi could naturally find the best position in front of the camera.
This kind of talent is not something ordinary people can possess.
Even some veteran actors need two or three years of research to figure out the best positioning.
This is what's called a "camera presence."
Ke Shixi seems to have been born for the screen. As long as she stands in front of the camera, even if the shot is not good, she can still make people unable to take their eyes off her.
Therefore, although Director Yan often reprimanded the female lead, he actually liked actresses like Shi Xi very much and taught her a lot of acting skills and experience. Not to mention, Shi Xi was not ashamed to ask questions and was very eager to learn.
Let's take another look at Nanwan, which looks like a wooden stake.
Director Yan was so angry that he didn't want to say anything.
Actors with formal training naturally possess some acting skills. However, Nan Wan's style relies too heavily on technique; without talent and charisma, she could only be an ordinary actress.
But what he wanted wasn't an ordinary actor, but a talented actress like Tang Xi!
"Take a ten-minute break, Nan Wan. Take a look at the footage you shot and find the problems." Director Yan had already pointed out all of Nan Wan's problems, and now he let Nan Wan sit in front of the camera and watch it herself.
Looking at her own unedited shots, Nan Wan looked ashamed.
The smile was indeed very unnatural, and there was no beautiful light in the eyes.
"Let's add another reflector; it should be better with some light," Nan Wan said. "Let's make the lights brighter."
Director Yan was very disappointed upon hearing Nan Wan's words.
Using lights and reflectors can indeed make light reflect into the eyes.
But that light didn't come from his eyes; it wasn't the feeling he wanted.
Director Yan wanted Nan Wan to find the flaws in her acting, but Nan Wan only looked for external reasons.
"Forget it, Shi Xi has already used this shot. If you shoot it again, you'll inevitably be compared to her. Let's change it." Director Yan gave up on reshooting this shot.
No matter how many times I shoot, I'll never be satisfied with him.
It would be better to change the lens.
This time, Director Yan skipped the scene from the promotional video and had Nan Wan film the first scene directly.
