After two days of rest, Ning Xi recovered fully and returned to the crew to continue working.
She looked at the work schedule for the next few days. Her main scenes had already been completed, and most of the remaining scenes were reshoots of her previous scenes with Jia Qingqing.
She was already familiar with this part of the scene, so she had no pressure at all.
When she arrived at the crew, it was not her turn yet.
As soon as Xiao Tao saw her, she came over and said, "Sister Xi, you're here! I was just about to send you a message to tell you not to come so early!"
Ning Xi raised her eyebrows and jokingly asked, "What's wrong? The director is so nice, why is he giving me a day off again?"
"No! Look over there..." Xiao Tao whispered to her to look at Guan Xiaoqi and Fang Ya who were filming in front, "It's Guan Xiaoqi and Fang Ya. The same scene has been NGed countless times. It's even scarier than Jia Qingqing back then!"
"Guan Xiaoqi..." Ning Xi held her chin and pondered for a moment.
"Yes, that's the new singer that our company is promoting. His singing is terrible, but there's nothing we can do about it. He has money. The money he spends is just like water!
It is said that she insisted on acting from the beginning, but the company assessed her basic skills and found that her acting skills were even worse than her singing, so they tried every means to persuade her to become a singer. At least singers can adjust their voices later!
What happened? After spending so much money, she only worked as a singer for a few months. She said she didn’t want to do it anymore and still insisted on acting. So, she is here to bring trouble to the entertainment industry again…”
After Xiao Tao finished gossiping, she nervously reminded Ning Xi, "Although she and I are from the same company, we should stay away from people like her!"
Ning Xi nodded her chin slightly, with a thoughtful look on her face. Actually, last time in the apartment, although Guan Xiaoqi had not necessarily helped her out of his own will, she would definitely not act rashly before she thoroughly understood a person.
After knowing this, Ning Xi did not leave early, but sat down directly on the chair. She and Guan Xiaoqi had a lot of scenes together, so it was necessary for her to understand Guan Xiaoqi's level in advance.
Not far away, the filming of Guan Xiaoqi and Fang Ya was still going on...
In the film, Guan Xiaoqi plays the virtuous concubine who is Meng Changge's mortal enemy, and Fang Ya plays the sage concubine, the emperor's other concubine. The two of them often fight with each other, and they have quite a few rival scenes.
Ning Xi took a look from a distance. From what she could see so far, it seemed that Guan Xiaoqi was the one causing the problems, and Guo Qisheng beside her seemed to be on the verge of collapse...
"Guan Xiaoqi! You are the favorite concubine! The favorite concubine! You must be charming! You must be seductive! Don't move like a wooden stake!"
"And your lines. Our play doesn't use dubbing. All the original sound is recorded live. How can you speak your lines like you are reading a book without any ups and downs?"
"Expression! What's your expression?"
…
Xiao Tao handed Ning Xi a bag of melon seeds, "Sister Xi, you see now, I'm not exaggerating, am I? Your acting is really terrible! Hey, you and Teacher Jiang worked so well together and it went so smoothly. We all thought we could finish filming early, but who knew Guan Xiaoqi would show up in the middle! He's simply the king of NGs!"
Ning Xi didn't say anything.
Objectively speaking, this is not a question of good or bad acting.
Because Guan Xiaoqi has no acting skills at all, she is just a blank slate.
Generally speaking, in this situation, the person who plays opposite her is very important.
What's worse is that Fang Ya, who played opposite her, had a grudge against her, and Fang Ya's acting skills were just so-so. It would be strange if Guan Xiaoqi could perform well opposite her.
