598 Teach you

Many of the supporting actors in the crew who had signed contracts did not appear. On this cold morning, they were probably all sleeping in the restaurant. When there were no scenes to film, no one was willing to come out and suffer.

Tao cen's current fame and status were not only due to her acting skills and methods, but also because of her character.

“Everyone, take your positions.”

The stage manager took out a loudspeaker and shouted. The lighting crew and cameramen were ready. The closed doors of the shops on the street added a sense of coldness to the fog-filled cold morning.

When Tao cen entered the film set, she was no longer as relaxed as she was during her activities. Her expression was extremely serious. She had come today to witness Jiang SE's acting skills.

Although she already knew that Jiang se had a good reputation in recent years, that the box office of the movies she had acted in were good, and that the few movies she had starred in had a good reputation and were highly talked about, she still wanted to observe Jiang SE's performance during the shooting and whether she was worthy of her attention.

In Tao cen's heart, she always felt that Jiang SE's fame was not as high as it seemed. In recent years, her two films that had been shortlisted for the France Film Festival had the prerequisite of working with Liu Ye. Moreover, the director himself was outstanding and knew how to teach people.

Liu Ye had been in the industry for many years. His acting skills were unquestionable, and he was very good at conveying his emotions to newcomers.

If Jiang SE's ‘fame' was due to external factors and not her own body, she might be firmly suppressed by him in this movie and completely become an unremarkable background.

To Jiang se, this sort of suppression was more fatal than any other method.

As Tao cen thought about this, she felt a little excited. She needed to build up this feeling, so she did not suppress it at all. She let it grow so that she could connect it with Shen xuanran's state of mind when she tried to bring Su Yi, the ‘criminal suspect', to justice in' suspect.'

Tao cen ignored the cameras and the film crew around her. She didn't hear what song Yi was saying in her ear. In the foggy morning, a quiet street appeared in front of her eyes. She could faintly hear the sound of ‘ka ka ka'.

Before the person arrived, Tao cen had already drawn a picture in his mind. It was a woman in high heels, covered in blood, slowly approaching. Perhaps her expression showed the panic and helplessness of a murderer, or she was in a sorry state and panic. Perhaps her hands were shaking, and her head was lowered, not daring to meet anyone.

The plot of the story gushed into Tao cen's mind one scene after another. Other than panic, Su Yi should also be feeling a hint of excitement after killing someone.

Her hands would be in the pockets of her coat, and there was a high possibility that a weapon was hidden in the pockets.

“Sister Tao, Yingluo.”

Someone called out to her, but Tao cen didn't turn his head.

“Shush, she's here, don't make a sound!”

A slim and tall figure appeared at the corner of the street and officially entered the camera. It seemed to be the same as Tao cen's imagination, but it was also a scene that was slightly out of her expectations.

Jiang SE's hands were indeed in her pockets. Her long, beige trench coat was buttoned up neatly. The belt around her waist outlined her thin waist so much that it was barely possible to hold it. Under the trench coat was a pair of beautiful long legs. On her feet were a pair of stiletto heels. Her ankles were unbelievably beautiful with the contrast of the stiletto heels.

The sleeves of her windbreaker were about 90% long, revealing her white wrist. She was smiling as she walked around in this quiet morning, like a fairy who had accidentally barged into the mortal world. However, the next second, she seemed to have noticed that someone was peeking at her. She subconsciously raised her head and slowly curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a few white and neat teeth. She blinked her eyes at the camera. That smile was like the finishing touch, making the whole picture come alive.

She didn't know why, but that smile was so beautiful, yet it made people tremble in fear. It could infect the people around her, and they were keenly aware of the malice in her smile, but they couldn't help but be attracted to her.

The ‘graceful',' bright smile', and ‘murderous' but ‘attractive as a poppy flower' that Huo Zhiming had written had come out of the script and into reality.

‘Trouble'. At this moment, these three words appeared in Tao cen's mind.

Jiang SE's reaction was different from what she had expected. Her smile alone revealed a lot of information for people to analyze and discuss.

This scene was the opening of ” a suspect “. Tao cen could imagine how many people would be affected and amazed by her smile when it appeared in the movie.

Jiang se was different from the pretty face she had imagined. Not only would she not be able to suppress Jiang se in ” suspect, ” but she would also meet her greatest rival. If she did not perform well, it was very likely that she would be pushed down by her.

The smile on Tao cen's face faded, and his expression gradually turned serious. Jiang SE's performance had bewitched many people on set, including Huo Zhiming.

He had watched Jiang SE's performances before. When he confirmed that Jiang se was going to star in his ” suspect, ” he had watched all the movies she had acted in, including doukou's melancholy in ” events of Beiping “, Zhou Wei's regret in ” about I love you “, Zhang Yuqin's ashen expression in ” the devil “, and Tang Jing's self-redemption and affirmation in ” a chance to live “.

Jiang se had given each character a different life. Other than the early movies that relied on appearances as the selling point, she had successfully created many different classic characters.

She had brought many surprises to the director and the audience. Huo Zhiming never thought that she would give him another surprise.

Jiang SE's smile when she blinked was not within Huo Zhiming's expectations. According to the script, when Su Yi walked out of the street, he wanted to make ‘Su Yi' feel out of place to highlight her estrangement from the place. When the camera was on her, she should have looked at him indifferently and then turned her face away.

However, when she smiled, she looked even more stunning and special than Huo Zhiming had expected. He immediately stopped her, picked up the loudspeaker, and shouted for her to do it again.

It was a short street. Jiang se had been walking back and forth from 6 p.m. For nearly an hour just to film this scene that lasted for a few dozen seconds.

The mist had soaked her hair. A murder case would appear here in a day's time and shock the entire Wangjin city. Huo Zhiming wanted Su Yi to appear so that the audience would immediately associate her face with the shocking murder case that would happen later, giving the audience a subtle psychological hint.

With that in mind, Jiang se walked out of the hotel. Her hair should not be wet.

At half-past seven, Huo Zhiming was still not satisfied with this scene. He asked the stylist to blow dry Jiang SE's hair, which had been moistened by the mist, and tie it back into a neat bun.

There was a break at the set. Jiang se had walked for a long time, and her calves were exposed. They were so cold that they stung.

Mo Anqi, Chen Shan, and the others took a hot water bottle and stuck it on her calf. Another assistant took off her shoes and rubbed the blisters and red marks caused by her stiletto heels.

Everyone had witnessed Jiang SE's ability to endorse products in recent years. Many brands were eager to work with her, but Xia Chaoqun had refused to cooperate with her.

Some shrewd manufacturers had set their sights on sponsorships for the clothes, shoes, and bags she would be starring in. They used another method to get Jiang se to indirectly ‘advertise' their companies.

In “the demon,” she played the role of a mother, and her clothes and shoes were deliberately worn in accordance with Zhang Yuqin's identity and did not fit her. However, the clothes, shoes, bags, and even jewelry she wore in every movie had become the symbol of fashion for young Chinese girls.

After “suspect” released the news that Jiang se was joining, other than the investors who had contacted Huo Zhiming, many clothing, shoes, and bags manufacturers had also extended an olive branch to him.

The merchants suggested that as long as Jiang se or Tao cen were willing to wear their brand's clothes, shoes, and socks, they would not mind paying a large sum of money.

Jiang se was the most popular. She was very popular among the young people. Tao cen was slightly older than Jiang se, and her fans were not young either. People like Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Weng, who had a certain social status and financial backing, were the majority. The possibility of them buying clothes based on the characters in the movie was low.

In addition, her identity in the movie was different from Tao cen's, who was fixed as a police officer. Her identity restricted her dressing to a certain extent. She was not as comfortable as Jiang se. Therefore, the manufacturer specifically pointed out Jiang se as their partner.

Huo Zhiming had been ignored a few years ago. He was the ‘poor' type, so he was naturally happy to receive such a sponsorship.

If he could provide the costumes for the crew and provide a certain amount of money for them to spend on more appropriate things, he would definitely not reject it.

Fortunately, Huo Zhiming's crew members had good taste. The quality of the clothes they chose was also good, and it could be considered a light luxury brand.

However, the shoes were not as good. The stiletto heels looked beautiful and extremely feminine, but they were really a pain to the feet. Huo Zhiming was also very strict. The short film was shot more than ten times. Jiang SE's skin was tender, but after more than ten shots, her feet had several blisters. The assistant was shocked. Even the way she looked at Huo Zhiming was filled with resentment.

The terrain of Wang Zhou was special, like a basin, so the fog was thicker than in other provincial cities of China, and it dispersed slower.

However, as the sun came out, the fog would still slowly dissipate. This scene still needed to be filmed quickly, or it would have to be delayed until tomorrow to be reshooted again.

Huo Zhiming predicted that after they were done filming in Wang Zhou, they would have to move to another location. It would be best if they could settle this today. After resting for a few minutes, before Jiang se could warm her legs and dry her hair, Huo Zhiming started urging her to continue filming.

Fortunately, this scene did not disappoint. After three takes, Jiang se finally passed.

In the morning, Jiang SE's body was almost frozen stiff after she took a few shots in her thin windbreaker. When she sat down next to the camera, her hands were already losing control.

Goosebumps rose on her wrists. Tao cen, who had been sitting next to the camera, was nowhere to be seen. She had probably returned to the hotel to prepare for her first scene.

She had woken up too early. Mo Anqi helped her put on a coat and advised her to remove her makeup and go back to the hotel to rest. Jiang se shook her head. She wanted to see the scene that she had just shot.

After they were done with the scene, the production team temporarily stopped filming. When they heard Jiang SE's request, the cameraman obediently played the scene she had shot earlier and replayed it for her.

Huo Zhiming pulled a stool over. It was rare for this stubborn old man to show Jiang se a face that he thought was kind. He was obviously proud of today's shoot.

“You want to see the replay?”

He asked. Jiang se nodded. This was a habit of hers. After a scene, she would always look at her performance to see if there was any possibility of her improving.

“See if there are any shortcomings that need improvement.”

Her words made Huo Zhiming look at her in surprise, and the smile on his face deepened.

Today's collaboration with Jiang se had renewed Huo Zhiming's original opinion of her. He knew his temper well. She had already felt great when she first shot today's scene. It was full of tension, and her emotions had infected everyone who looked at her. The scene was beautiful. Many people thought that the film should have been over in one take, but Huo Zhiming had made Jiang se repeat it countless times.

Jiang SE's assistants were a little unhappy. Such a situation had happened many times in Huo Zhiming's decades-long career as a director. When he was still popular in his early years, celebrities of all levels would still give him some face.

Later on, his fame was not as good as before. The more he said, the more celebrities who were not as famous would argue with him and fight for his pride. Under normal circumstances, the set would be filled with gunpowder and it was very disharmonious.

Compared to the celebrities that Huo Zhiming had worked with in the past, Jiang SE's status and reputation were naturally not comparable to those in his previous movies. She was the undoubted pillar of the century Galaxy alongside Tao cen. She was the most charismatic and influential female star in China's film industry. Under such circumstances, she could have lost her temper. However, what surprised Huo Zhiming was that once he shouted ‘begin', she would always return to her original position and walk down the same path again. She didn't even ask him why he thought this part was ‘not good'.

it's good for young people to have such an ability to reflect on themselves. In the Analects of Confucius, Zengzi said that one should reflect three times a day. As he said this, he was a little proud and raised his eyebrows, which made mo Anqi gnash her teeth in hatred, ”

“But with me, you have no room to reflect on this part.”

He was so confident that Chen Shan was unhappy. He couldn't help but say sarcastically,

“Director Huo, since you don't have any room for reflection here, why did you make Sese walk around so many times before?”

The little girl suspected that Huo Zhiming was deliberately pranking her, so she looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Jiang se had a good temper and good self-restraint, so she did not argue with him. After the shoot, she was still humble, afraid that she would not perform well enough. However, when the people around her heard Huo Zhiming's words, they could not help but feel angry.

Huo Zhiming did not want to stoop to her level. He gestured for the photographer to show Jiang se the footage they had taken earlier.

“If you weren't convinced during the shoot just now and wanted to fight with me, I wouldn't tell you what went wrong.”

This old man's temper was also very strange. When he said this, he was even a little happy.

“But you didn't ask just now, and now it seems that I like it very much. I can teach you.”

He let Jiang se take a look first and did not give her any reminders.
