Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 173 - Getting into Character!

"Brother Bai Ye, let's keep in touch. I won't take you back. After you've had your drinks, I'll call a driver to take you. Tian Tian, ​​please come back with us!"

Hotel entrance.

Lu Zheng patted Bai Ye on the shoulder, a hint of apology on his face. He had been drinking tonight, so he definitely couldn't see Bai Ye off.

I just had a chat with Bai Ye, and it really got him excited.

Thinking about how I had gone down the wrong path and spent so much money, only to find that it hadn't improved Jing Tian at all.

On the contrary, it damaged its reputation.

After listening to Bai Ye's analysis today, Lu Zheng felt it made sense.

If it weren't for the fact that filming for "White Night" starts tomorrow...

Lu Zheng really wanted to have a long chat with Bai Ye some more.

I definitely can't take Bai Ye and the others back myself.

However, Bai Ye's assistant did not drink alcohol and escorted Bai Ye and Jing Tian back to the film set.

Watching the three get into the car, Lu Zheng waved and watched their car drive away into the distance.

Next, Jing Tian will return to the film set to film, while I will go and find a suitable teacher to help her train her acting skills.

The reporters who had been following Bai Ye were somewhat disappointed when they saw that the three of them were heading towards the film crew.

"Master, it seems our follow-up has been somewhat unsuccessful. Bai Ye and Jing Tian appear to be returning to the film set."

I've been following Bai Ye for so many days now.

There was no big news at all.

Bai Ye and Jing Tian were supposed to have dinner together tonight. I thought there might be something going on between them, but Bai Ye's assistant and Lu Zheng also came along.

From this perspective, it probably isn't a big deal.

There wasn't much to write about in the news, so naturally, it was impossible to ask Bai Ye for a consultation fee.

After finishing our meal, we went back to the film set.

no! ?
Are you, Bai Ye, really a monk?!
I've been following you for so many days, and you haven't had a single scandal?!
He's either in the studio or on set.

Anyway, ever since I started following Bai Ye, I haven't seen anything unusual about his whereabouts.

"Then let's write that Jing Tian and Bai Ye have a new collaboration to get some traffic."

It was indeed a bit disappointing that I didn't get the shot I wanted.

But after following them for so long, they should at least get some traffic in return.

"Master, won't this alert the enemy?! If this gets out, won't Bai Ye know he's being followed?"

"Are you an idiot?! Which celebrity doesn't know they're being followed?! Do you think they're all pigs like you?"

After hearing his apprentice's words, he was stunned.

That's incredibly stupid!

It's unbelievable that they could still say such things.

How could someone working on such a frontline position not have anyone following them?

Maybe there are other people following along besides them?!

If they don't post it, someone else will!
"Oh~"

The young apprentice nodded, thinking it made sense.

I really feel like I'm being a bit of an idiot. Which celebrity isn't followed by fans?!

In the car.

Jing Tian had only drunk a little alcohol, and given the somewhat enclosed space in the car, she subconsciously wanted to lean against Bai Ye.

But after remembering that Bai Ye had mentioned having a boyfriend, she hesitated again.

He already has a girlfriend, so it doesn't seem quite right for me to get involved.

In the end, she held back.

"Thank you, Bai Ye."

She said softly that she really had to thank Bai Ye today. If it weren't for Bai Ye, she would never have chosen this path.

She made all the wrong moves before.

After considering Bai Ye's advice, Jing Tian actually felt that Bai Ye was right.

"I'm just giving you a suggestion. Actually, I've watched the dramas you acted in before, and they really weren't suitable for you, and the scripts weren't good either, so there's no need for you to belittle yourself."

Regardless of Jing Tian's acting skills, let's talk about the scripts she's acted in.

The role is not suitable for Jing Tian.

Then there's the script, which is absolutely terrible. The melodrama is so bad that sometimes Bai Ye doesn't even know what these screenwriters were thinking.

It's unbelievable that such a story could be fabricated, and what's even more outrageous is that Lu Zheng actually voted for it.

You also think my acting is okay?

"No."

"."

One second Jing Tian was looking at Bai Ye with hope in her eyes, but the next second, after hearing Bai Ye's words, she was instantly paralyzed with fear.

That's so heartless!
The moment she heard that, Jing Tian was completely at a loss for words.

However, Jing Tian quickly realized that it was only she who thought it was acceptable from the beginning.

If he could, Bai Ye wouldn't have mentioned wanting to find a teacher before.

"After filming 'How Long Will I Love U,' I've been training with a teacher ever since. When I take on my next role, can I take one of your films first?!"

Jing Tian wanted to wait until her acting skills had improved before showing them to Bai Ye first.

Of course, she also felt safer with Bai Ye.

"If there's an opportunity to collaborate in the future, I'll definitely look for you. You'll have to make time for me then!"

"Yes, yes, I'll keep my schedule open for you."

"."

Looking at Jing Tian's eyes, it seemed that she had been drinking a little, and her mind was somewhat out of control.

After she said that, Bai Ye understood what she really meant, and it wasn't what she meant on the surface.

The assistant driving in front, though expressionless, was secretly going crazy with excitement!

That night.

News has surfaced on Weibo that Bai Ye and Jing Tian may continue to collaborate.

The photo includes pictures of Bai Ye and Jing Tian having dinner together.

After returning to the film set, I originally wanted to fabricate some rumors, but then I thought better of it.

The main issue is that both of them have returned to the film crew, so there's no point in making things up here.

Yang Mi was furious when she saw the news.

Another collaboration with Jing Tian?!

Although it's just media speculation, if this guy really continues to work with Jing Tian...

What am I going to do?!
hateful!

I absolutely have to find a chance to visit the set!
Although Yang Mi doesn't want to make her relationship public, she still needs to assert her status as the official girlfriend.

No matter what, I need to show myself to Jing Tian, ​​but more importantly, I need to show myself to Bai Ye.

After making the decision, Yang Mi also planned to visit Bai Ye on set when she had time.

The next project is a TV series she'll be working on with. Her schedule is all clear, and most importantly, please don't just cast Jing Tian if there really is a next collaboration.

It must be me!
Jing Tian originally owned this movie.

Although Bai Ye never made any promises to her, Yang Mi felt that Jing Tian had stolen this movie from her.

She had asked Bai Ye for it several times, but Bai Ye had not given in.

Surely we can't possibly give it to Jing Tian now?!
If there is
Yang Mi turned off her phone and decided not to read the exposé.

There's still no sign of it.

Yang Mi didn't want to make a fuss about anything since they were just having a meal together.

She only sent Bai Ye a text message and chatted for a while before going to rest. Bai Ye had an early scene tomorrow, and she didn't want to disturb him.

the next day.

The film set was a bit noisy in the early morning. The set design team was adjusting the placement of the last few props in the old, dilapidated rental house, while the camera assistant was measuring the angle of the light.

In this bustling corner, Jing Tian frowned.

The pages of the script he was flipping through were slightly crumpled from being squeezed.

The character she plays, Gu Xiaojiao, is facing a pivotal scene where she experiences an emotional outburst.

In the confined space, she had a fierce argument with Lu Ming from 1999 over money, vanity, and that unspeakable fragile self-esteem, which ultimately led to her complete breakdown.

“Bai Ye.” Jing Tian’s voice carried a hint of barely perceptible frustration and anxiety as her fingertips irritably traced the intense lines of the script. “Here… Gu Xiaojiao’s hysteria, that shame and despair after all her pretenses have been exposed, I feel like I can’t quite grasp that point.”

I knew she was all bark and no bite, but when she really reached the point of complete collapse, what I acted out wasn't a breakdown, it was more like a tantrum.

It should be called throwing a tantrum, right?
Jing Tian felt that she simply couldn't bring herself to express such emotions.

She looked at the script for a while before resting when she got home last night.

It was all for the scenes this morning.

But after a long time of trying, I still couldn't bring myself to develop that kind of feeling.

Bai Ye put down his script, his gaze sweeping over Jing Tian's somewhat pale face. He knew very well that Jing Tian was probably caught in the deep waters of character development.

He pulled over two folding chairs, gesturing for Jing Tian to sit down, and he sat down as well. "Let's first break down the phrase 'outwardly strong but inwardly weak'."

"Gu Xiaojiao's strength lies entirely in this seemingly glamorous exterior."

As he spoke, Bai Ye straightened his back slightly, his chin unconsciously tilting upwards, but his shoulders felt stiff and tense. "See? This is a deliberate act of putting on airs."

When speaking, especially when it involves identity, money, or something you want to hide.

She would deliberately raise her voice and speak faster involuntarily, as if a louder voice and faster speech would give her the upper hand.

I doubt she ever resorted to sophistry.

It could also be due to Jing Tian's own experiences. Jing Tian has never experienced this situation before, so of course she wouldn't know how to act well.

Although I gave Jing Tian a demonstration yesterday, judging from her appearance today, she has most likely forgotten it.

Jing Tian watched Bai Ye's facial expressions intently, mimicking Bai Ye's previous actions.

Try to recapture that feeling of being aloof.

As she studied with Bai Ye, she felt like she had mastered the skills again!
"Do you now know what the root of this strength is?!"

Bai Ye changed the subject, looked at Jing Tian, ​​and after asking the question, he didn't say anything, just waited for Jing Tian to speak.

Jing Tian was listening intently when Bai Ye suddenly asked her a question. After she came to her senses, she thought about the question Bai Ye had just asked her.

She thought for a moment, but still looked confused. Then she shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

“She considers herself a superior person, but deep down she is insecure, as I told you yesterday.”

"I think I understand now."

Jing Tian murmured to herself, and suddenly she felt like she understood?!

Does this mean he's finally figured it out?

Seeing the two rehearsing their lines, the assistant director initially didn't want to interrupt, but after checking the time, he realized it was almost time to start filming.

After Jing Tian came to her senses, the assistant director finally spoke up and asked the two of them to come over and film.

Filming officially started.

The cramped rental space was filled with the roughness of life.

With the camera in position, the lighting technician adjusted the light ratio, creating a tense yet intense atmosphere.

"Action!"

Jing Tian, ​​who plays Gu Xiaojiao, stands in the center of the cramped room, facing Lu Ming, who has a complicated and confused expression.

As the conversation heated up, the focus of the argument inevitably shifted to Gu Xiaojiao's financial situation and her vain demeanor.

That pretentious line was like a precise scalpel, piercing through the facade that Jing Tian was maintaining.

Jing Tian took a deep breath. Based on Bai Ye's previous analysis, she subconsciously raised her voice to refute him, but her eyes began to wander.

That superficial display of anger at this moment is very much like Gu Xiaojiao.

In an instant, Jing Tian was overwhelmed by a sense of grievance and unspeakable shame.

She unconsciously recalled moments when she was questioned and ridiculed in real life.

The character's emotions began to burn genuinely within her at that moment.

The director and crew members also noticed the change in Jing Tian's demeanor as they left.

correct!

That's it! !
Bai Ye is indeed very good at training actors!

The assistant director finally realized why Lin Yufen had said earlier that if filming Jing Tian didn't produce the desired effect, then they should wait for Bai Ye to come.

So that’s it!
No wonder Jing Tian wasn't in the right state of mind before; after learning from Bai Ye today, she was able to get into character during filming!
If Bai Ye weren't an actor, I feel he would be an extremely talented director as well.

Jing Tian's emotions erupted, and this scene progressed very quickly.

"Cut!!!" The assistant director's voice held a hint of surprise. "Great! Excellent, that take is a success!!"

As he finished speaking, the staff around him murmured their approval.

Jing Tian pulled herself out of the character's emotional breakdown and let out a long sigh of relief. Even Jing Tian herself found the feeling of relief somewhat unbelievable.

I can't believe I actually passed it in one take!

Before Bai Ye arrived, the director sighed and complained several times while filming. Although the director didn't say anything, Jing Tian felt as if the director had already said everything.

"Not bad, your acting skills aren't as bad as people say. Have some confidence in yourself!"

Bai Ye handed her a glass of water, which Jing Tian accepted. Listening to Bai Ye's words, her heart warmed.

If Bai Ye hadn't explained the character to her, she probably wouldn't have understood it so quickly.

In other words, Bai Ye explained to her that she was all bark and no bite. However, it seems that Gu Xiaojiao will need to ask Bai Ye again about her feelings later on.

Jing Tian unscrewed the water Bai Ye handed her, took a sip, and then said with some emotion, "I still have to thank you. I've finally regained some confidence!"

After watching this movie, who can still say I have no acting skills?!

Jing Tian was confident that she had finally found it.

She still doesn't believe it!

Let's see who will say they have no acting skills from now on!
"I'm confident. I'll prove those haters wrong and show them my acting skills!"

"."

When Bai Ye said those words, it felt like he was encouraging himself, but something about it sounded a little strange.

However, Jing Tian didn't care. She was already imagining that after "How Long Will I Love U" was released, who wouldn't call themselves an actress?!
