Chapter 45: Acting Skills Conquer the Entire Film Crew (Ch 45)

Rest until 2pm, then continue filming.

Xu Zheng had finished putting on her makeup and was lying on a chair, yawning before the show started.

He rubbed his eyes, nudged Qi Jia next to him, and asked.

“Qi Jia, would you like some coffee? Brother will treat you.”

“Okay, Brother Xu, thank you.”

“You’re so polite~”

Xu Zheng waved his hand, called his assistant and asked him to buy coffee for him.

“Brother Xu, everyone who listens gets a share. I want one too.”

Hearing that someone was inviting him to dinner, Wang Chuanjun also came over.

Then Zhou Yiwei, Wang Yanhui, Liu Sihui and others also started to make a noise.

Finally, even Director Wen yelled at the top of his lungs,

“Old Xu, order me a cup too.”

In addition to being the lead actor, Xu Zheng is also the producer of this film.

He and Director Wen have been friends for many years.

So, after hearing what Director Wen said, I laughed and cursed.

“I’ll give you an egg, do you want the magic oil?”

These words made everyone in the crew burst into laughter.

The afternoon scene started filming in this pleasant atmosphere of the crew.

This scene shows Cheng Yong distributing medicine and wages to members of his small team in the store, and then announcing that he will treat everyone to drinks tonight.

There are not many scenes, but this scene is the one in which Peng Hao, played by Qi Jia, truly begins to integrate into the small team.

Although he only has two lines, it really tests his facial expressions and eye contact.

After the filming started, Lv Shouyi’s three employees sat in the bright living room.

Only Peng Hao stood in the shadows, leaning against the shelf, staring blankly at the ground.

Hearing everyone’s happy laughter when they received the money and medicine, he remained expressionless.

Because he felt that this had nothing to do with him, he was just here to repay his debt.

Soon, the other three received their wages and medicine from Cheng Yong.

Peng Hao was the only one left. Cheng Yong took out a cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at Peng Hao with interest.

“Yellow hair~”

Suddenly, Peng Hao heard Cheng Yong calling his name. He came back to his senses and slowly stood up.

Although he still looked indifferent, a hint of joy rose in his lifeless eyes.

Director Wen keenly noticed the change in his expression from the monitor.

He could not help but nodded with satisfaction, but soon he frowned.

“Crack!”

Just when they were about to pass, they suddenly shouted “Cut”, and everyone was puzzled.

“What’s wrong, Lao Wen?”

Seeing Director Wen coming over, Xu Zheng asked.

“Qi Jia, you performed very well in the first part, but when you said thank you at the end,

Can you act shy and embarrassed without showing any emotion?”

Cough cough cough~

“Lao Wen, do you want to listen to what you are saying?”

Xu Zheng was smoking. When he heard Director Wen’s request, he choked and coughed out the cigarette. The others also had strange expressions on their faces when they heard it.

Xu Zheng was joking about being a director, but Qi Jia, as a newcomer, didn’t dare to do that.

Director Wen doesn’t need to make fun of himself. He must have a reason for saying this.

So he pricked up his ears carefully, ready to listen to what Director Wen would say next.

“It’s like this, Peng Hao is just like what you said last night.

He is a person with a pure heart. He is kind and righteous, but he is also inferior and dare not express his emotions.

He always felt that he was only here to pay off his debts, and had long been prepared to work for nothing.

So, when he learned that he also had a salary and medicine,

He understood that the small team had already considered him as a member.

Due to my inferiority complex, I was overwhelmed by the overwhelming joy.

He was in a happy mood and felt a little shy, but he was used to keeping a cold face, so he couldn’t change his mind for a while. “

After listening to Director Wen’s analysis, everyone nodded, it seemed to be true.

But how can one act shy with an expressionless face?

Qi Jia was also thinking, Director Wen’s words were undoubtedly right, the question now was how he was going to perform this effect.

Fortunately, he has a facial expression management skill of 30 points.

So, after thinking for a while, he said.

“I see, Director Wen, I want to try a few first.”

“Okay, don’t be too stressed, thank you for your hard work.”

Director Wen also knew that this request was a bit unreasonable.

So, he comforted Qi Jia again and then went back to ask people to prepare for the filming.

Another half hour passed, and the short half-minute scene was NGed more than ten times.

Even the director wanted to give up.

I thought I’d give it one last try. If this one still doesn’t work, then forget it.

The camera continued to focus on Qi Jia, who saw Peng Hao still standing there, not daring to go over to get the money and medicine.

Tan Zhuo, played by Liu Sihui, walked up to him with concern and pulled him to the table.

Put the money and medicine in his hands and said.

“Hurry up and thank Brother Yong.”

Peng Hao looked at the money and medicine in his hand, then quickly glanced at Cheng Yong.

Seeing that he was looking at her with an expression of trying not to laugh, she quickly looked away.

“Hey, this is good, this expression is great, quickly adjust the camera!”

Director Wen, who was originally depressed, was shocked after seeing Qi Jia’s performance.

He became excited instantly, patted his thigh, and asked the photographer to take a close-up of Qi Jia.

Under the lens,

Peng Hao pursed his lips and tightened his jaw muscles.

After swallowing hard, he uttered two words in a low voice.

“Thank you~”

This shy reaction amused Cheng Yong on the other side.

He held the cigarette, looked at Peng Hao and continued to ask.

“Who are you thanking?”

Peng Hao felt embarrassed when he looked at him.

Too shy to look him in the eye, she swallowed and stammered out two words,

“Brother Yong!”

…

“Crack!”

As Cheng Yong finished his last line,

Director Wen jumped up excitedly, shouting with excitement,

“Good! This part is very good!”

“It’s absolutely amazing!”

Seeing Director Wen’s reaction, everyone in the crew knew that this part was finally over, and they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The depressing atmosphere in the crew, which was originally caused by the constant NGs, also became relaxed again.

“Oh my, I finally passed. Qi Jia, I am convinced. Your acting skills are so powerful without words.”

Xu Zheng collapsed on the chair tiredly, gave Qi Jia a thumbs up and praised him.

“Haha, if I laugh any more, my face will become stiff.”

Liu Sihui also joked with a relaxed look.

“Thank you, teachers, for your hard work.”

Qi Jia was also very excited and bowed to several people repeatedly.

“Hahaha, Xiao Qi, don’t be nervous, you did a good job, they were just joking with you.”

Teacher Liu said with a smile, he was also very satisfied with Qi Jia’s performance just now.

“Alright everyone, let’s take a ten-minute break and then make up another one.”

While everyone is in high spirits, Director Wen wants to make a final push.

Ten minutes later, we shot another take, which passed successfully, and then we continued to shoot the third scene.

Cheng Yong, Lv Shouyi and Peng Hao were playing Landlord in the store.

According to the script, Cheng Yong and Peng Hao are the landlords who want to deal with Lu Shouyi.

As a result, Peng Hao kept bombing Cheng Yong, and in the end the landlord lost and the peasants won.

This scene was also very short and took only a dozen minutes to shoot.

It was about 6pm, the crew ordered lunch boxes, and everyone ate them on the set.

After resting for a while, it was around seven in the evening and we rushed to the next shooting location.
