"Why hasn't Meng Yao come yet? It's been an hour since the requested time! I heard that she was like this before on the set!"
"I've heard that Meng Yao is a big shot, and this time I finally got to see it! How long will it take for her to finish her makeup?"
"I don't understand how someone like this could get into the crew? Didn't she get in through the backdoor?"
…
Li Xiang listened to the discussion of the staff around him and frowned slightly. He instructed an assistant on the set: "Contact Meng Yao again."
Photographer Liu Xi came over and said, "Director Li, Meng Yao has been late for so long. The venue rental has a time limit. Are we just going to wait like this?"
Li Xiang looked into the distance and said, "Wait a little longer. She might be tired from reading the script yesterday! Shoot the other actors' scenes first and put Meng Yao's scenes at the back!"
Liu Xi turned around and said angrily: "He really knows how to put on airs. In what era are there still people who act like big shots like this? Aren't they afraid of being smeared..."
He suddenly remembered that Meng Yao might not really be afraid of being criticized.
Ling Xiao came over after finishing his scene. Looking at the current situation, he immediately understood: "Director Li, Xiaoyao studied the script with me until very late yesterday. Maybe this is why she wasted time."
Li Xiang almost always had a pleasant expression towards Ling Xiao: "I think so too, you can try to contact her too."
When Meng Yao arrived, she saw that all the equipment had been set up and everyone was waiting for her to shoot the last scene.
Xiao Song urged her from behind: "Sister Meng, please walk faster, you are already late!"
Xiao Song was already familiar with Meng Yao's lateness, because this was Meng Yao's normal behavior! So when he realized that no one answered the phone, he chose to give up the call and waited silently for Meng Yao to wake up.
Meng Yao woke up this time.
She was late this time because of the plot.
According to the plot in the book, the original owner got into the crew of "Tianya Xing" through connections and became the third female lead. She was late on the first day, which aggravated Li Xiang's dissatisfaction with her. Related negative information also frequently appeared, and Meng Qingqing's performance on that day was extraordinary. The control group came out, which was another wave of face-slapping plots.
Although Meng Yao got the role of Fu Yue by mistake, as a qualified female villain, Meng Yao still decided to complete this plot.
Meng Yao ignored the people around her who were pointing fingers at her and walked straight to Li Xiang: "Sorry, Director Li, I overslept."
Because Meng Yao lowered her head, Li Xiang couldn't see her expression at all.
Now the time is far behind the budget, and Li Xiang is not sure whether Meng Yao can finish filming her scenes in such a short time, and the rented venue has a time limit.
Li Xiang was very optimistic about Meng Yao, but because of this incident, he also felt a little tired: "Xiao Meng, you go get your hair done first."
When the styling was completed and the shooting was about to begin, Meng Yao dropped another bomb.
"Xiao Song, bring me the script so I can see what we are going to shoot today."
Xiao Song handed it to her tremblingly. Although Meng Yao's acting skills were terrible before, she had never been so incompetent!
Li Xiang, who was standing by, was stunned by this sentence: "Don't you know what we are going to shoot today?"
The hot-tempered assistant director next to him yelled, "How can you film a movie if you don't even read the script? What if you can't finish this scene? How can there be such an unprofessional actor like you!?"
The assistant director said to Li Xiang again, "Brother Li, you didn't listen to my advice at the beginning. Are you regretting it now? You insist that Meng Yao is talented and that she has a talent for slacking off? People like her are not worthy of being actors! She has poor acting skills and she doesn't know how to work hard!!"
Because he has a good relationship with Li Xiang in private, assistant director Zhang Laimeng speaks frankly.
Li Xiang didn't say anything for a long time.
Meng Yao flipped through the script, her brain working rapidly.
The protagonist needs to work very hard to show himself, while the villains take the opposite approach, the darker the reputation, the better. Contrast is the key to success, and it can better highlight the protagonist's awesomeness.
"Okay, I've got it down, let's start filming!"
"You've memorized it in such a short time?"
Li Xiang was slightly surprised.
Zhang Lai said, "How could you possibly remember it in such a short time? Are you going to play some tricks again?"
Meng Yao has always been confident in her memory, and she only wanted to finish the story and go back to rest.
"no problem."
"All departments on their positions... action!"
"Tianya Xing" tells the story of Fang Xiaoxiu, a male protagonist who grew up in a small mountain village and has been extremely obsessed with martial arts since childhood. By chance, he obtained the lost secret book "Tianya Swordsmanship" and became a disciple of the martial arts school "Jingyun Sect", starting his legendary life as the supreme master of martial arts. He has a generous temperament, a chivalrous heart, and likes to rob the rich and help the poor. Bai Yueguang Fuyue, who grew up with him as a childhood sweetheart, turned into a female demon who did many evil things. Fang Xiaoxiu couldn't bear it, but he still "eliminated the demon" under the recommendation of the martial arts alliance. After Fuyue's death, he was depressed for a long time. Finally, with the careful company of Xia Qianguang, the daughter of the martial arts leader, he walked out of the haze, abandoned all fame and fortune, and retired to the mountains with Xia Qianguang.
Today's scene is about Fang Xiaoxiu who is about to go to the "Jingyun Sect" to learn martial arts. Before leaving, he comes to say goodbye to Fu Yue, and the two express their feelings to each other.
The difficulty lies in the expression of emotions, the expression of young yet passionate emotions.
Fu Yue put down the backpack and turned to look at Fang Xiaoxiu, with a shy look on her beautiful face:
"Xiao Xiu, when did you come? I heard from Xiaohu and Chen San that you have been very busy recently."
Her smile was as bright as a crescent moon.
Fang Xiaoxiu was wearing a black short shirt, but his expression could not hide the youthful vigor and vitality.
He frowned slightly: "Are you selling herbs again today? Or to the place west of the city?"
Fu Yue's eyes flashed with helplessness, and she pursed her delicate lips tightly: "Master Liu and Doctor Hua from Jirentang are both frequent customers of the herb stall, and the people who buy there buy the most..."
"Have you forgotten the village bully Xue Shu? He harasses a girl like you every other day. If one day I, I don't..." Fang Xiaoxiu suddenly felt sad and didn't say the next words.
Fu Yue pulled him into the house: "I know you are worried about me, but Xiao Xiu, I can't do anything... Daddy's legs are not in good condition, and Mom injured her foot some time ago, I..."
Fu Yue's eyes were a little red.
Fang Xiaoxiu took out a sachet from his pocket and stuffed it into Fu Yue's hand: "You take this silver, don't let your mean grandmother find out!"
"I don't want your money, take it back quickly!"
Fang Xiaoxiu held her hand tightly and remained silent.
"You are usually so cheerful, why are you so...?"
"Sister Yue, I will leave for Chengdu tomorrow!"
Let's just say it's really hard to switch from modern language to ancient language. I'm too sleepy today. I'll revise it tomorrow. Good night.
