Chapter 249 - The Man’s Mouth Was Full of Lies!
Nan Wan heard Director Yan’s words and went back to her original position. She did it again.
“Don’t shake your head. You don’t have to shake your hair for this scene. Tang Xi is the gentle white moonlight. She won’t make such a big move.”
“Don’t just turn your head. Even your upper body has to turn around.”
Nan Wan still didn’t meet Director Yan’s standards.
Hence, this action was filmed over and over again.
At the beginning, Nan Wan was still thinking, ‘It doesn’t matter. Shi Xi had also NGed dozens of times back then. To shoot such a good scene, what does it matter if I NG a few more times?’
But in the end, Nan Wan smiled until her face was stiff. Director Yan was still not satisfied.
“Why is your smile so forced? Have spirit in your eyes! Don’t look so bitter!”
After filming for more than 50 times, Director Yan was already irritated. He wasn’t a good-tempered person to begin with. It was only for the sake of money that he became a little more patient.
However…
The producer had previously told him that Nan Wan had graduated from a proper art academy and studied acting. Furthermore, she had studied acting overseas and her acting skills were definitely better than Shi Xi’s.
From the looks of it now, it was all a f*cking lie!
A man’s mouth was full of lies!
He would rather have Shi Xi act!
Although Shi Xi’s acting skills were bad, she was very agile. As long as he taught her, she would be willing to learn.
Shi Xi had previously joined the production team and acted in school dramas before. She had basic acting experience. Moreover, she was very sensitive to the camera. As long as she stood on the set, Shi Xi would naturally be able to stand in the best position on the camera.
This kind of talent was not something that ordinary people could possess.
Even some veteran actors had to go through two to three years of research before they could find a good position.
This was the so-called sense of the camera.
However, Shi Xi seemed to have been born for the screen. As long as she stood in front of the camera, even if she did not shoot well, it would make people unable to move their eyes away.
Therefore, although Director Yan often lectured the female lead, he actually liked actors like Shi Xi very much. He had taught Shi Xi a lot of experience in acting, not to mention that Shi Xi was shameless enough to ask questions and was very eager to learn.
Then, he looked at Nan Wan, who was like a wooden stake.
Director Yan was so angry that he didn’t even want to speak.
Actors who were trained in acting naturally had some acting skills. However, Nan Wan’s skills were too strong. If she didn’t have talent and aura, she could only be an ordinary actress.
But what he wanted was not an ordinary actress, but a Tang Xi who had aura!
“Let’s take a ten-minute break. Nan Wan, take a look at the scenes you’ve shot and look for any problems you have.” Director Yan had already told Nan Wan all of her problems, and now he had Nan Wan sit in front of the camera and watch.
Nan Wan looked at the scene where she was NGed, and she was ashamed.
Her smile was indeed unnatural, and her eyes didn’t have that kind of beautiful light.
“Let’s add another light board. If there is light, it should be a little better,” Nan Wan said. “Light it up a little more.”
Director Yan was very disappointed when he heard Nan Wan’s words.
Using the light and the light board could indeed make the eyes reflect light.
However, that kind of light did not come from the bottom of the eyes. It was not the feeling that he wanted.
Director Yan wanted Nan Wan to find out her own shortcomings in acting, but Nan Wan would only find out the reason from the outside.
“Forget it, Shi Xi used this scene before. If you shoot it again, you’ll inevitably have to compare yourself to her. Let’s change to another scene.” Director Yan gave up on shooting this scene.
No matter how much he shot it, he would not be satisfied.
It was better to change to another scene.
This time, Director Yan gave up on the scene of the promotional video and directly let Nan Wan shoot the first scene.
