Xue Xiao didn't know where to move his hands and feet, and Shen Ling reminded him: "Xiao Xiao, you have to settle down quickly."
Then Xue Xiao didn't know what he was thinking and looked at Shen Tingyan longingly.
Shen Tingyan received this look: "..."
It feels pitiful to be bullied.
He felt a little funny, but also felt pity.
He didn't want to put too much psychological burden on Xue Xiao.
The reason why he handed over the casting rights of Mu Sheng to Xue Xiao was because he did not want to use his status as a mentor to force Xue Xiao to do something. But if this transfer of rights turned into pressure on Xue Xiao, then Something is wrong.
After thinking about it, he calmed down slightly and commented rationally and objectively: "The actor selected by Shen Ling is Jiang Liyang. You may have seen his popular criminal investigation drama in the first half of the year."
"His acting skills are good and he fits well with Mu Sheng. He should have no problem playing with you. He is also very interested in this script."
What else is there to say
Although "Fan Yin" is a one-person play by Xue Xiao, it has many supporting roles, and the part involving the campus drama requires a large number of extras.
Xie Jia didn't need Xue Xiao to wear any makeup when he was in college. Shen Tingyan planned to let him go into battle without makeup. Anyway, Xue Xiao's face had no blemishes and his skin was tender and dewy.
When Xie Jia was in high school, she needed a makeup artist to give Xue Xiao a makeover.
Xue Xiao walked up to the second floor and heard the assistant director and a cameraman talking in the bathroom.
Probably the bathroom on the first floor was occupied, so the two came to the second floor. After solving the problem, they chatted casually.
After dinner, Shen Tingyan took him to briefly review the characters. As for the specific rehearsal, we will have to wait until we arrive at the filming location tomorrow.
"Director Xue," the man said these two words slowly between his lips and teeth, making Xue Xiao even more embarrassed, "Consider me."
Shen Tingyan crossed his arms, stared at him for a long time, raised his lips and asked, "Did you really look like this in high school?"
He doesn't know much about sign language and has never studied it specifically.
Oops, which family is this sweet baby? It's so soft.
They will go to shoot the high school scene tomorrow. Before arriving, the assistant director needs to help the high school students who are extra performers arrange the scenes.
"Really," I don't know what the man was thinking, he said lightly, "You should have a high school photo album at home."
A smile appeared in his eyes, and the corners of Shen Tingyan's lips curled up.
At first, he began to speak loudly unconsciously - he couldn't hear clearly, so he thought he was speaking softly. Even though he later found out that he was deaf, it was difficult for him to control his volume.
He suddenly began to think seriously. Although Shen Tingyan took him home because of "official business", should he also "reciprocate"...
Xie Jia's hearing gradually declined.
So the makeup artist modified Xue Xiao's outline. After finishing the makeup, everyone came forward to take a look.
Cameraman: "...The battle is really big. It will cost a lot of money, right?"
Xue Xiao: "..."
Xue Xiao curled up the corners of his lips, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "...I want to act with you, Shen Tingyan."
*
Once the characters were decided, the progress picked up quickly.
*
The Shen family villa has become a battlefield, and everyone is busy.
The young man's eyes are clear and harmless, his facial lines have become softer than usual, and the tip of his nose seems to be a little more upturned. He looks like a cute version of a bjd doll.
Shen Tingyan tapped the script lightly with the pen in his hand, and when he raised his eyes again, he said: "-But, I think my compatibility with Mu Sheng is pretty good, and I can perform better than Jiang Liyang."
When he met Mu Sheng, his words were clearly swallowed.
Although Xue Xiao is really no different from a high school student after changing into a school uniform... But Xie Jia, a college student, must be distinguished from Xie Jia, a high school student.
In the afternoon, the makeup artist arrived at the villa and helped Xue Xiao try on makeup.
Xue Xiao looked at Shen Tingyan silently and said nothing.
So people around him laughed at him for having such a loud voice.
Throughout the afternoon, he studied and practiced silently in front of the computer.
It's already ten o'clock in the evening when we finish work today.
Xue Xiao tried his best to think back: "... It seems like there isn't one?"
After the latter said these two sentences, he lowered his eyes.
Later, he gradually learned to read lips and became accustomed to communicating with others by staring at other people's mouths. However, he was disliked and avoided by others because of this strange gaze position.
I looked a lot better in high school, and I think it's not much different from what I did as an adult. Xue Xiao really couldn't remember what was different between then and now.
This is a slow process of change, and Xue Xiao cannot act too abruptly.
Shen Tingyan contacted the assistant director whom he knew well. The other person was often responsible for contacting the extras on the set.
Shen Tingyan disappeared later, probably busy integrating this short-term crew, while Xue Xiao opened his laptop and found some video materials to study.
Yang Liuyi and Shen Jingyang did not come back in order not to disturb them.
Shen Ling's eyes were full of meaning, and the assistant director and cameramen were as quiet as chickens.
Assistant director: "That's for sure. Let's not talk about extras and extras. This script has so many transitions and the venue has to be rented. It's all money."
Cameraman: "I heard that the other groups seemed to have quite a big lineup, but they all focused on the big stars performing in friendly performances. Only this group actually made the short skit of ten or twenty minutes into a movie. ”
Assistant Director: "Hey, Teacher Shen has put in a lot of effort. He really wants to win the championship with Xue Xiao."
Xue Xiao clenched the corridor handrail.
The next second, a pair of hands pressed hard on his shoulders, startling him.
He turned around and saw Shen Ling smiling secretly with a triumphant look. After laughing, he asked, "What are they talking about?"
He only knew that Xue Xiao was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people not far away, but could not hear their voices clearly.
Xue Xiao pursed her lips, hesitated, and said, "It's nothing."
Shen Ling looked at his expression and said, "Are you talking about how much Brother Tingyan spent this time?"
Xue Xiao looked surprised.
Shen Ling: "I heard someone talking about this matter today. Do you care?"
Seeing Xue Xiao's silence, Shen Ling blinked and said, "What's there to care about? The thing that brother Ting Yan has been lacking most since he was a child is money."
Xue Xiao: "..."
"No matter how much energy and money you spend, as long as it's worth it in the end, and you should know my brother well enough, even if he doesn't win the championship in the end, he will never regret spending so much effort in preparing this show." "As long as it's worth it. You have fun acting."
Xue laughed out loud.
He whispered: "You make your brother sound like a foolish king."
Shen Ling: "Then you accepted the role of the demon concubine?"
Xue Xiao: "..." He was instantly choked and blushed!
Shen Ling laughed softly: "Smile, whether it is now or in the future, as long as you are happy when acting."
Xue Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, jokingly saying: "It doesn't matter if you don't make money?"
Shen Ling shook his head: "You and my brother are both people with basic actor qualities. We know what it means to act well and what it means to act badly. So as long as you are happy acting, it is absolutely impossible for that play to fail and make money. It’s not about money, but the audience is very clear-eyed. It’s just a matter of making more or less.”
Shen Ling spoke firmly. On the one hand, Xue Xiao felt that Shen Ling trusted him a little too much, but on the other hand, he felt that Shen Ling was actually right.
Act happily, perform to the fullest, and present your best side to the audience. The audience will surely feel what they want to convey and give them positive feedback.
It's a bit tacky to talk about money when it comes to art, but if you want to live, you have to make money. Xue Xiao feels that he won't be the kind of unlucky employee who brings down the entire company.
If they make more money, they will have more funds that can be used to make more good movies and provide more entertainment to the audience.
As long as there is sincerity, this can be a virtuous cycle.
Xue Xiao thought about it and his eyes became firm.
Of course, the first step in this conscience cycle starts now.
Let’s start with this last game.
The next day, the entire crew traveled from many places and gathered at a certain high school at 8 a.m.
It was summer vacation, and there was no one in the school. In order to film this short play, the assistant director specifically contacted people from the school administration office and called over a hundred students who had nothing to do at home.
When they arrived, all the students were already waiting in the classroom.
The assistant director gave Shen Tingyan a warm hug when he saw him, and Shen Tingyan led Xue Xiao over to introduce him.
"No introduction is needed. We have known each other for a long time. I have watched every show of yours. The young man's performance is really good." The assistant director patted Xue Xiao on the arm and encouraged, "I will study hard with Teacher Shen from now on. The future will be bright for me." Sad."
The two veteran actors who played Xie Jia's parents were also invited by Shen Tingyan.
The two of them had filmed together with Shen Tingyan, and they looked at him as if they were their own children. Now they naturally look at Xue Xiao as if they were their own children, with an easy-going attitude and caring words.
After helping Xue Xiao identify the person, Shen Tingyan led them to rehearse the play twice.
The students were very cooperative.
Although they were very excited, once the rehearsal officially started, they were all full of drama.
—As for Xue Xiao, his entry into the drama is even more amazingly fast.
The role of Xie Jia is so special that any actor who is not experienced enough in filming might have to go through a few tricks before he can get into the groove.
However, the moment Xue Xiao shouted "action" from Shen Tingyan, his aura suddenly changed.
He immediately changed from the obedient and gentle young man to the Xie Jia struggling alone in a world far away from Fan Yin.
He sat in the front row with a serious look on his face. He listened hard to the teacher's lectures with his ears raised, but he often subconsciously turned his head to look at his deskmate because he couldn't hear clearly.
Xie Jia was taking notes carefully while his deskmate was hesitating to speak. Finally, he chose not to disturb him. He scratched his head and tried hard to read the teacher's lips.
The teacher called his name three times before he heard it. He raised his head as if he was startled and said loudly: "Here he is!"
The sound echoed throughout the classroom.
Watching Xue Xiao act in a variety show and watching Xue Xiao act live are completely different.
The assistant director and two veteran actors looked on, somewhat amazed at Xue Xiao's acting ability, which was more powerful and spiritual than they imagined.
No wonder Shen Tingyan likes him so much.
They, professionals who have been involved in major film studios all year round, were all amazed by Xue Xiao's performance, not to mention the students who were participating in acting and contacting actors for the first time.
During the break, Shen Tingyan guided Xue Xiao to rehearse a scene with a girl in the back seat of him.
The girl might be a little nervous and failed to perform well after trying it twice. Xue Xiao comforted her: "Don't be nervous. How do you usually talk to your desk? Just talk to me like that."
The girl looked at him blankly and said suddenly: "... You speak so normally."
Her deskmate immediately complained: "Brother Xiao was acting just now, of course it's normal to speak normally now!"
The girl immediately blushed and said: "You acted so well. As soon as the filming started, I felt that you were like that, and then I was a little shocked..."
Xue smiled and said: "Try not to think about things outside the play? Just think of me as I am. If such a Xie Jia sits in front of you for a semester, how will you get along with this classmate? ?”
The girl thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "I'll do it again!"
Perhaps Xue Xiao's kindness eased her tension. After she concentrated her attention, the girl's demeanor became much more natural.
After the crew officially started filming, the gossip quickly spread on the Internet.
By noon, fans were blocking the outside of the school.
The assistant director led people to evacuate the crowd and advised fans not to block traffic here, which could easily lead to safety problems.
It just so happened that they were going to film a scene on the campus forest road.
As soon as Shen Tingyan appeared in the sun, his tall figure caused crazy screams outside the school gate, and fans roared his name at the top of their lungs.
Xue Xiao was thinking in his mind that if it was him a few months ago, although he wouldn't be embarrassed to shout like this when he saw Shen Tingyan, he would probably be reluctant to leave like this...
Then he heard another burst of screams, and the girl screamed: "Xiaoxiao - Xiaoxiao - Xiaoxiaoah!"
Xue Xiao was shocked and turned to look.
This time he turned his head, the sound wave outside the school gate became stronger.
"Smile so cute!!"
“Smile is great!!”
"Smile and come on!!"
There was a voice that clearly belonged to a man, and Shen Tingyan, who had been unresponsive in front of him, suddenly received a cold glare.
The next second—
That male fan: "Yanxiao Yanyan is the sweetest!!!"
Xue Xiao: "..."
Shen Tingyan paused and retracted the eye knife demurely.
