Chapter 62: Slapping myself hurts
But it was too late to regret it now. Her father had invested money and she had signed a contract, so she had no choice but to act.
Xu Zishan kept giving herself psychological hints that she majored in acting. She was "Ayu" and Shen Li was "Hua Xixi". They were both characters in the play.
Having a sense of belief is a basic quality that an actor must possess. After a moment of self-hypnosis, Xu Zishan actually felt that she had some confidence.
Half an hour later, the second scene started filming.
All equipment was in place, the sound of clapping was accompanied by an action, and the scene was instantly silent.
Xu Zishan knelt down with a "pop" sound. Just as she was about to release her emotions, she heard the director's "Click!"
The assistant director wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap stood up and angrily shouted: "Didn't you just watch the scene? The opening camera is on "Hua Xixi". Who can see you kneeling down at this time? When the camera zooms in on you, that’s when you kneel down! ”
Ever since Xu Zishan was a child, no one had dared to talk to her so loudly, but she also understood that the director was the biggest on the set, and as a newcomer, the director was the one she couldn't offend the most.
So after being scolded, she just nodded obediently and said, "I'm sorry, director, I'm too nervous."
Start this over again.
The opening shot fell on the scene of "Hua Xixi" shivering after falling into the water. On the small screen in front of the director, Shen Li's touching and just right youthful feeling was particularly catchy. The chief director and the assistant director behind him watched it. Couldn't help but smile.
"This actress is good. A new face has a sense of freshness, and her acting is good. The audience will like her." Chief Director Ke Youlun, with his veteran vision in the industry, saw Shen Li's potential at a glance.
The camera turned and the scene came to "Ayu". She knelt down with a "pop" and read out the lines in horror: "This slave deserves to die, please calm down, madam!"
"Mrs. Hua" looked angry, pointed at "Ayu" and cursed: "You useless fool, the second lady has been weak since she was a child, and you actually let her slip and fall into the water?"
"Mrs. Hua" even shouted directly in a deep voice: "Come here, sell this useless piece of trash to me immediately!"
"Madam, spare your life, old madam, please spare your life. I know I was wrong. I accept my punishment. Please don't sell me, madam!"
"Ayu" cried and kowtowed, stood up and slapped herself twice happily, then turned to her young lady with her knees "squeezing" and said: "Miss, please say a word for me..."
"Click!"
With a click, Xu Zishan's emotions that she had devoted herself wholeheartedly to were cut off. There was a burning pain on her cheeks and severe pain in her knees.
The assistant director stood up angrily. Xu Zishan thought she had made a mistake again, so she instinctively shrank her neck in fear. However, the assistant director looked past her at an extra in the back and cursed through gritted teeth: "That guy in the blue suit." Maid, what the hell are you wearing on your wrist? Do you know if there was a watch in ancient times?”
The actors trembled and quickly took off the watches on their wrists and hid them.
"It started when the old lady wanted to sell Ayu, and Ayu knelt down and kowtowed and slapped her in the face!"
In this way, Xu Zishan has to do it again.
A scene that can last up to five minutes on TV took a group of people to film for nearly an hour. Coupled with the hot weather, everyone was a little impetuous, and the further they went, the worse their condition became.
Xu Zishan slapped herself until her face hurt, and she no longer dared to use force anymore.
As a result, the director finally decided to use the first one!
"Shen Li!" After the filming, Shen Li was about to go back to the dressing room to drink some water and take a rest, but was blocked by Xu Zishan who was chasing after her.
There was a name tag with the word "Shen Li" on the door of the dressing room. Only the exclusive dressing room would have the actor's name on it. Xu Zishan only felt dazzled when she saw it, and her jealousy was stronger than ever at this moment.
"Did you do this on purpose? I stole your role, and you came to play "Hua Xixi" to disgust me? "Xu Zishan said with a fierce look.
Thinking of how embarrassed she was when she knelt down in front of her to beg for mercy and even slapped herself in the face, even if she could complete the performance diligently, she still couldn't help but feel humiliated after being separated from the role.
"I don't have such ability. Whoever I play is subject to the arrangements of the crew and director Feng Shan." Shen Li said softly.
Even though Shen Li was steadfast in her words, Xu Zishan didn't believe her at all.
Such a big IP attracts the attention of the entire Internet, and "Hua Xixi" is a popular character in the original work. How many popular actresses are trying to win this role, how come they can fall into this role with a completely new face? In new hands?
Just because she looks good?
But the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is beauties!
Xu Zishan looked at Shen Li meaningfully and sneered: "Stop pretending to be aloof. To get a role like "Hua Xixi", you must have used some invisible means. ”
"Shen Li, if you don't want others to know, don't think that denying it can cover up the facts."
There was something in her words, Shen Li could hear it, but she didn't get angry.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Zishan showed hostility towards her more than just a day or two. Although she found it all very strange, she was not someone who would compete with others.
Moreover, she still remembered Mina's words. Xu Zishan's father was the owner of the crew, and she wanted to avoid conflicts with her on the crew.
Thinking of this, Shen Li said expressionlessly: "I don't care whether you believe it or not, but I advise you to ice your face as soon as possible. It's already slightly red and swollen."
When Xu Zishan heard this, her originally angry expression suddenly turned into shock, and she subconsciously touched her face.
"Hiss——"
it hurts!
At this time, the door of the dressing room next door suddenly opened, and Ren Jia, dressed in gorgeous makeup, walked out in a grand style surrounded by four staff members.
When she saw Shen Li, she was slightly startled, then raised her lips and smiled: "Oh, little beauty, we meet again!"
When Shen Li and Xu Zishan saw Ren Jia, they immediately put away the expressions on their faces and smiled politely and greeted: "Sister Ren Jia."
Ren Jia glanced at the two of them subconsciously. When she saw Xu Zishan's red cheeks, she was startled and covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Oh my God, little sister, your face couldn't have been red during the filming, right?" ?”
Xu Zishan nodded with a pitiful look, pretending to be strong and said: "I'm fine, Sister Ren Jia, just for the effect."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it must be painful, right? How could you really slap your face like this? Didn't your teacher teach you the borrowing skills?" Ren Jia asked with a regretful and distressed expression.
Xu Zishan shook her head. She joined the group less than a month after the school started, and she didn't even attend a few physical classes.
"You're so sincere." Ren Jia sighed, then turned to Xiaoya and said, "Xiaoya, hurry up and get an ice pack from the refrigerator in my house to apply an ice pack on this little sister, otherwise her face will be swollen and it will delay the rest of the journey. Director Ke is getting angry again as the filming progresses.”
