Jiang Lei looked Shang Yechu up and down and asked, "What's your name? How come you know Manager Tian's lines?"
Shang Yechu lowered her head shyly and said, "You can just call me Xiao Ye. The senior actor who plays Manager Tian is very experienced, and I want to learn more from him. So when he was memorizing his lines, I often hung around him. Before I knew it, I had learned them."
Shang Yechu doesn't plan to reveal her abilities right now. She's too insignificant, her status in the entertainment industry is less than a sesame seed, and it wouldn't be a good thing to be too conspicuous.
Jiang Lei breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost thought that Shang Yechu had memorized all the lines after hearing Manager Tian say them only once.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lei couldn't help but chuckle. Shang Yechu didn't look very old; he probably hadn't gone to university. If he really had a photographic or auditory memory, why would he have run off before finishing his studies?
Jiang Lei nodded: "Just memorizing lines isn't enough, but since you have the will, give it a try."
This scene was a highlight for the male lead; dragging it out like this wasn't a solution.
The stagehand immediately took Shang Yechu downstairs to change her clothes. Shang Yechu was petite, and when she put on Manager Tian's clothes, she looked like a child wearing an adult's clothes.
The assistant director frowned as he looked at Shang Yechu's appearance, not thinking that Shang Yechu was any better than the old actor from before.
Jiang Zhiyuan's agent, however, was quite satisfied. The reason was simple: Shang Yechu, who was only about 1.6 meters tall, looked like a little chick standing next to Jiang Zhiyuan, making Jiang Zhiyuan appear incredibly tall and imposing.
In recent days, Shang Yechu has been exchanging one centimeter of height every three days, and has slowly accumulated to 1.62 meters.
This height isn't outstanding in the entertainment industry, but it's still much better than Shang Yechu's previous mini height.
Shang Yechu stood opposite Jiang Zhiyuan.
The cameraman was slightly taken aback when Shang Yechu stood still.
The reason is simple: Shang Yechu's choice of where to stand was incredibly insightful.
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details. When filming a TV series, there's naturally a method to framing the characters.
Shang Yechu's position neither overshadows Jiang Zhiyuan's composition nor is it too off-center, preventing the image from appearing disharmonious. Instead, it creates a balanced and symmetrical beauty.
If we had to put it into words, let's say Jiang Zhiyuan is a lonely artificial flower. Then Shang Yechu, the green leaf, lifts the flower to the perfect position, making the artificial flower more authentic!
But how could this drab little servant, who was just an extra, have the kind of stage presence that only veteran actors possess?
These thoughts were fleeting; the cameraman had filmed more actors than grains of sand on a beach, and in the blink of an eye, he had put these distracting thoughts behind him.
Whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, finishing filming early and getting off work early is the most important thing!
Although Jiang Zhiyuan is not yet a top star, he already has the temper of one. Seeing that Shang Yechu was already standing there, he said impatiently, "Can we start now? We've already wasted half a day."
Before filming began, Shang Yechu suddenly made a small gesture.
Shopkeeper Tian's clothes were several sizes too big for her. Everything else was fine, but the sleeves were just too long, hanging down and completely covering Shang Yechu's hands.
Shang Yechu slowly rolled up the sleeves of both sleeves, revealing her hands.
The action was inconspicuous and would normally go unnoticed by anyone present. It was only because the cameraman paid more attention to Shang Yechu due to her position that he captured this small gesture.
"Action!"
As soon as that sound rang out, Shang Yechu's expression changed drastically!
