After the filming was completed, I awakened my superpowers.

Chapter 12 The Third “Skill Card”

……

Under the enthusiastic guidance of Master Li Changshun, Sheng Yixia also tried to learn the techniques of kneading dough and preparing fillings.

For Sheng Yixia, who is loaded with the two skill cards of [Card Control] and [Divine Mind], learning and mastering these skills is as easy as eating and drinking.

Soon, he was pulled by the staff to put on makeup, change into costumes in the dressing room, and officially entered the shooting location.

In the bright lobby, two sets of pastry-making tables have been set up and the competition venue for filming has been arranged.

A huge banner was put up with [King of Chefs Contest] written on it. In the center of the venue, three referee tables were set up. Several referee actors were already in place, gathered there and chatting in low voices.

There were also many extras on the periphery, acting as competition staff, media reporters, or spectators.

The cameras are all in place.

"Teacher Sheng."

As soon as the assistant director saw Sheng Yixia, he came over and enthusiastically pulled him into the competition venue. He first took him to shoot a few shots as a background board, adjusted the angle and shot a few shots for his appearance, and then took him to the second cooking position and motioned him to stand behind the counter: "First, get familiar with the counter and the ingredients. You will partner with Master Zhao later and shoot a few close-up shots of his knife skills."

At this time, a man in his twenties dressed as a chef was standing next to the stove.

He looked clean and had long fingers, and was obviously the knife-working substitute originally prepared for Sheng Yixia, or "Master Zhao" as the assistant director called him.

After a few brief greetings, Master Zhao introduced the table and various ingredients in front of him to Sheng Yixia.

Not much knife skills are needed to make the filling, mainly chopping meat, cutting onions, ginger, garlic and the like. But after all, this is a food theme with some supernatural elements. A lot of special effects will be added in the later stage to make the food present a supernatural temperament, such as glowing.

Therefore, even the process of chopping meat will be exaggerated and boasted.

Soon, two camera groups began shooting at the same time.

The assistant director was originally responsible for filming Sheng Yixia, but now the job has been taken over by Director Zhao, because he feels that filming Sheng Yixia is more fulfilling.

The filming process went smoothly. Soon, the shots of chopping meat, cutting onions, ginger and garlic were all over. Kneading the dough also captured several close-up or full-body shots. Soon, the meat scenes began.

Director Zhao, who had already prepared to shoot the entire film in one take, had a focused look and an expression that was more serious than ever before.

However, Sheng Yixia is also an "old actor" who has starred in many films. He was calm and composed, and he followed the production process of the steamed buns once without being impatient. Then, he did it a second time, and after the fifth time, the director called it "OK".

After that, it was time to film the judges’ comments.

Several judges commented on the two contestants' steamed buns respectively. Sheng Yixia was given a good evaluation, and then gave high praise to the male number three, and then announced that the male number three won the competition.

Next, he filmed Sheng Yixia's dejected expression after losing the competition, and filmed another scene with the third male lead, walking up to her and saying sincerely, "Your cooking skills are superb. I am ashamed of myself."

Then the director called out “Cut” and the scene was over.

There is really no need for any acting skills in this process. It is just a small supporting role, and it is easy and simple to act.

"Congratulations, Mr. Sheng, your play has been completed. Thank you for your hard work." Director Li came over personally to greet him and presented him with a red envelope with a smile.

The red envelope was quite thick, at least a few thousand yuan.

"Thank you, Director Li."

Sheng Yixia didn't act pretentiously and took the red envelope to express her gratitude.

After exchanging a few polite pleasantries and making arrangements for dinner, the two separated and went about their own business.

Director Li is of course very busy.

But Sheng Yixia was not idle either.

After changing his costume in the dressing room, he found a corner and sat down, pretending to drink water and rest, and then called out in his mind: "System."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the role of [Wu Yongguang] in [The King of Cooks]!"

The system's voice sounded in my mind, with a hint of electronic coolness.

"The host can extract the character card of this character... Ding! It is detected that the [investment level] of this online movie is low, the [completeness of world view] is low, the [fullness of character] is low, the [popularity of character] is low, the [host interpretation level] is medium, and the [host and character integration level] is medium..."

This time, it wasn’t a series of “lows”.

"The system cannot effectively extract the character card of this character. Instead, a random skill card will be drawn for this character. Do you want to draw it now? Yes/No."

Among them, [Interpretation Degree] and [Character Integration Degree] have become "Medium", which means that the system believes that Sheng Yixia's performance in interpreting the role of Wu Yongguang has reached a standard level.

Of course, this may also be because the difficulty of this role is too low.

"Yes, draw." Sheng Yixia answered expectantly. "The system randomly draws the [Wu Yongguang] skill card..."

"Ding."

The clear and pleasant electronic sound of the blessing gem falling rang out.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill card - [Chinese Pastry]."

“Chinese noodles?”

Sheng Yixia was slightly stunned.

He originally thought that he would draw a skill called "xiaolong mantou", but unexpectedly, he would directly draw a skill called "Chinese pastry" which has a very wide coverage.

His mind moved slightly: "Check the skill card - [Chinese Pastry]."

"Shh!"

A white skill card appeared in his mind.

Card Name: [Chinese Pastry]

Card quality: [White]

Skill level: [One star]

Card introduction: [After equipping this card, the host can obtain the skill - [Chinese pastry]. When the host learns or makes Chinese pastry, there will be additional proficiency and effect bonus. ]

That's it?

The introduction is very simple, far less complicated than [Divine Mind].

It seems that although they are all white cards, there is still a big difference between the two cards [Chinese Pastry], [Card Control] and [Divine Mind].

However, he had worked very hard to draw the last two cards, but this [Chinese Pastry] came very easily, and it took him only more than two hours in total.

Anyway, there was still an empty slot for the skill card, so Sheng Yixia didn't think too much about it. He just loaded it in and left it alone, returning to the crew to watch Gu Yonghan act.

Gu Yonghan plays the male protagonist's behind-the-scenes master. He and the villain used to be brothers in the same school and both were apprentices of the male protagonist's grandfather. Various grievances and entanglements between them have been passed down to this generation.

I have to admit that Brother Gu is miles better than Sheng Yixia in terms of acting skills. His every movement and every look are extremely accurate. On the contrary, the male lead, who also graduated from a professional school, can't keep up with Brother Gu's pace and is made to look a little dull.

Of course, even so, Sheng Yixia felt that the male lead's acting skills were far superior to his.

At noon, Sheng Yixia followed the crew to have a meal and ate the appetizers directly at Dehong Building.

I have to admit that this was the best crew meal Sheng Yixia had ever eaten.

In the afternoon, Sheng Yixia took a short rest and was ready to continue watching others perform as he did in the morning. However, after watching for a while, he was pulled to the kitchen by the head pastry chef Li Changshun, who continued to teach him how to prepare various fillings, such as crab roe filling, crab meat filling, shrimp filling, etc., as if he wanted to cram all his life's learning into Sheng Yixia.

After Sheng Yixia loaded the skill card [Chinese Pastry], learning became easier and more comfortable, and his proficiency in the card also increased rapidly.

One of them is happy to teach, and the other is happy to learn, so the atmosphere is naturally harmonious and harmonious.

While he was enjoying his studies.

Director Li and the assistant director were gathering together to review some of the shots shot today, especially the one-shot shot of Sheng Yixia kneading the dough, pinching the dough, rolling the dough, filling it with stuffing, and pinching folds. Director Li watched it over and over again and couldn't let it go.

Sheng Yixia's movements are smooth and natural, and full of artistic beauty. Combined with his white and slender hands and sunny and handsome appearance, the whole shot exudes an artistic atmosphere.

He felt so awesome. With such great one-shot material, plus the post-production special effects, it would be such a blast!
"……etc."

As he watched, Director Li felt something was not right. He felt there was an inexplicable sense of disharmony, but he couldn't find it for the time being.

When he turned to the next shot, he saw several judges tasting the steamed buns made by man number three with expressions of shock and happiness on their faces, and then they praised man number three and announced that he won.

Director Li slapped his thigh and reacted.

What the hell!

Isn’t this a shady deal?

He finally understood where the sense of disobedience came from.
