"Cut! Lu Ming, what's wrong with you? Today is your wedding day, you need to act happier and more joyful!"
Look at yourself now, you look like you've given up on life!
This doesn't look like a groom at all!
And the way you look at Luo Qing—that's not the look you give someone you love.
There is no love or expectation in your eyes, only confusion and emptiness.
How can such a performance convey the love between you two?
Let's start over and adjust our emotions and expressions.
"Remember, you are a man about to enter the marriage hall. You should be filled with joy and excitement, not standing there like a wooden statue." Director Zheng Ming called for another halt to filming and offered criticism and suggestions to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming felt a little disappointed after hearing the director's words, but he still humbly accepted the director's guidance: "Okay, director. I will pay attention and will definitely do better next time."
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner tension and unease.
He knew his performance wasn't perfect, but he believed that with effort, he could definitely do a good job in the play.
"Cut, Lu Ming, your expression is still wrong."
"Ka, Luo Qing, your makeup is ruined, touch it up."
"Cut, Lu Ming's position is wrong."
"Cut, cut, cut."
Lu Ming tried to get into character again and again, but he couldn't succeed, which resulted in the entire morning's scene not being approved.
The atmosphere at the scene became subtle, and everyone fell silent, while Lu Ming felt extremely frustrated and guilty.
"Ningning, I..." he said softly, his voice filled with helplessness and disappointment.
"It's okay, this happens all the time. Don't worry about it, let's go eat first."
"The director has already arranged to film Luo Qing's scenes first, so you can take this opportunity to rest." Huo Jinning said softly, trying to ease Lu Ming's pressure.
However, Lu Ming seemed preoccupied. He held the boxed lunch that Huo Jinning handed him, but had no appetite at all.
"It's all because of me that everyone has wasted so much of their time," Lu Ming said guiltily, his eyes full of apology.
Huo Jinning gently patted his shoulder, showing her understanding and support: "Don't think like that. We're all a team. Everyone encounters difficulties sometimes. You have to believe in yourself and that you can overcome these problems."
Lu Ming nodded gratefully, secretly vowing to adjust his condition as soon as possible.
Seeing that the person in front of her was still in a low mood, Huo Jinning couldn't help but say, "If you don't eat anything, how will you film later?"
Hearing the voice, Lu Ming looked up and saw that the other person was staring at him. He quickly lowered his head and tried to get up to leave, but Huo Jinning grabbed his shoulder and made him sit back down.
"Listen to me, eat something first." She gently comforted him, then picked up the lunchbox and handed it to him.
Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, but eventually took the bowl and began to eat slowly.
Although the movements were a bit slow, I ate a little and then put it down.
After watching him finish his meal, Huo Jinning asked softly, "How are you feeling now? Are you in a better mood?"
Lu Ming nodded silently, indicating that he was much better.
Huo Jinning smiled slightly and continued, "Actually, it's normal to encounter difficulties and challenges when filming. The key is to maintain a positive attitude and continuously learn and improve your acting skills."
Huo Jinning paused for a moment, then said mysteriously, "Actually, there are techniques to acting. Otherwise, how could I act so well? It's all thanks to the techniques I use. Do you want to know?"
"Really?" Lu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Huo Jinning and asked incredulously.
"If you finish your meal, I'll tell you," Huo Jinning said, looking at the remaining boxed lunches Lu Ming had left.
Lu Ming ate his food in big mouthfuls, and after swallowing the last bite, he couldn't wait to ask, "What technique?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Huo Jinning suddenly changed the subject and asked gossipily.
"No, no, nothing." Lu Ming's face turned red instantly, looking incredibly innocent.
[This kid's pretty naive; his face is all red.]
[It's actually quite fun.]
Then she asked, "Is there someone you like?"
"No." Lu Ming blushed not only in face, but also in ears and nose.
Even Huo Jinning didn't dare to look.
"So what do you like?" Huo Jinning asked somewhat helplessly.
"Um... I like to sleep," Lu Ming said softly.
“That’s good, but I mean things like games, celebrities, figurines, basketball, and so on?” Huo Jinning asked again.
“I like keyboards, especially mechanical ones, but I don’t play games,” Lu Ming said, his eyes shining.
"Collect keyboards?"
"Yes, I'll save it. I like to look at it whenever I have free time."
"I understand. You can check on Luo Qingyan first. I have something to do." Huo Jinning said and left.
"You still haven't told me how to act well." Lu Ming muttered to himself as Huo Jinning left, without pressing for further details.
The only person Huo Jinning could think of was Fu Qinian. She believed that there was nothing Fu Qinian couldn't do if he wanted to, even something as simple as a keyboard.
When Fu Qinian learned that Huo Jinning wanted a keyboard, he agreed without hesitation. About forty minutes later, a cool-looking keyboard was delivered to Huo Jinning.
At this moment, Lu Ming was anxiously waiting for Huo Jinning's return.
When he saw Huo Jinning walk in, he couldn't take his eyes off her, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Huo Jinning noticed Lu Ming's gaze, but she didn't care. Instead, she confidently said to him, "Don't worry, I'll definitely help you pass the test later!"
After saying that, she patted her chest and made a promise to Lu Ming.
When Lu Ming started filming, Huo Jinning approached Zheng Ming and shared her idea. After listening, Zheng Ming felt that the method was very feasible and immediately agreed.
This method was indeed very effective. When filming started for the first time, Lu Ming was caught off guard and was startled, which immediately took him out of character.
But by the second shoot, he was mentally prepared and performed much more naturally.
"Cut! Pass!" With Zheng Ming's command, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed.
The other staff members also breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone had been nervous about this scene because it had been difficult to get it right, which put a lot of pressure on everyone.
However, no one expected that it would pass so smoothly this time, which was simply unbelievable.
