I'll Add Points To All Things Chapter 602

The other person tugged at him and looked around. When he realized that no one was paying attention to them, he said softly, “Shut up. How can you say such things casually?”

The person who spoke first was a man with a crew cut. He was not convinced. “Why can't I say that? It was just that one scene, yet it took so long. Who wouldn't complain?”

“Especially when she's portrayed within the industry as the best actress, isn't she? Why can't she even film a single scene now then?”

The other person was a thin man. He wanted to persuade them at first, but seeing that there was no one around them, he added softly, “That's right. That's why actors and actresses all have their own portrayal, especially these vases, they're all hyped up.”

“However, it might have something to do with her changing companies. She started off with Sister Mi. Even though Sister Mi's acting skills were average, she has been in the industry for at least ten years. With Sister Mi personally taking care of her, she could give her all kinds of pointers. Now that Han Yi has changed to a smaller management agency, her cultivation and training might have been stopped, causing her acting skills to deteriorate.”

The crew cut guy nodded and agreed. “That's possible. Also, I heard that Han Yi's new company's boss is a fan of Han Yi. Think about it, why would a rich fan buy a celebrity? Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me crazy.”

The skinny man agreed. “That's right. That's why it's normal that Han Yi doesn't have the mood to film. But… If she doesn't want to film, just stop filming then. Why did she have to come to our production team to cause trouble for us? Does she think that films are free?”

The crew cut guy was stunned for a moment before he whispered, “The film really doesn't cost money. Now, we're using digital equipment to film everything.”

The thin man waved his hand. “That's what I meant. Anyway, she's just delaying our time. I think the director is about to flip.”

The crew cut guy said, “That's right. The director said that his friend was coming to see him today. He wanted to end the filming early so that he could attend the appointment. In the end, it took so long.”

As they spoke, the conversation between the two became more and more scattered. They started to talk about other things in the industry.

They thought that no one else could hear their conversation, but they did not know that Su Yang had sharp ears and had heard everything they said.

Su Yang looked at the center of the stage quietly. Han Yi was apologizing to a bearded director with an apologetic look on her face. Beside her was a female celebrity who was whispering something to her.

As Su Yang walked over, he heard the female celebrity say, “Xiaoyi, you really aren't performing like you used to today, it's a little lousy in fact. Could it be that you're still asleep?”

Su Yang took a glance at the female celebrity. She had a round face and a forthright personality. Her voice was slightly hoarse and she sounded like a big sister.

Su Yang guessed that she must be Han Yi's friend. Even though she sounded like she was complaining, she was actually helping Han Yi to explain herself.

Han Yi said awkwardly, “I don't know either. I just don't have a good grasp of the plot.”

The bearded director looked a little impatient, but it might be the first time two female celebrities were in front of him, so he didn't want to lose his temper. He patted the script in his hand and said, “Yes, this scene is indeed a little difficult. Let's take a 10 minutes break.”

With that, he left, ignoring Han Yi and the actress. It looked like he was giving Han Yi time to readjust herself.

Han Yi looked apologetically at the female celebrity beside her and said, “Sister Wei, I'm sorry. I didn't expect that I would cause you so much trouble.”

The female celebrity who was called Sister Wei shook her head and said, “It's okay. We're sisters. Besides, it's your first time acting in a movie, so it's normal. You just need to adjust yourself.”

When Su Yang saw that they were done chatting, he brought Tan Mei and the rest over to greet them. “Xiaoyi, did something happen?”

Hearing Su Yang's greeting, Han Yi and the female celebrity, Sister Wei, looked over and saw Su Yang, Tan Mei and two assistants walking over.

Although Sister Wei did not know Su Yang, she knew Tan Mei. She smiled and greeted, “Sister Tan, are you here to see Xiaoyi?”

After saying that, she patted Han Yi's shoulder and said softly, “I'll leave you to it, but don't take too long. During these ten minutes, search for the feeling you need and adjust your emotions.”

Han Yi nodded.

After Sister Wei left, Han Yi looked at Su Yang and opened her mouth. “Su… Mr. Su.”

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Conflicted], [Hesitant]…

After greeting Su Yang, her attitude toward Tan Mei and the rest improved. Even though she was in a bad mood, she still forced a smile. “Sister Tan.”

Tan Mei took a glance at Su Yang. Seeing that Su Yang was not bothered, she walked over and hugged Han Yi. She asked softly, “Are you alright?”

Han Yi shook her head. “I'm fine. It's just that… I'm not used to acting.”

Su Yang nodded his head slightly. He knew that Han Yi might have met with some sort of adjustment in her acting skills.

Even though they were both filming, filming a movie was different from filming a television drama.

Even though both were visual and auditory arts, because the plot was faster and the medium was smaller, the acting was slightly more exaggerated than the movie, and the acting requirement was not as high as the movie.

On the other hand, because the movie was a big screen, the performance could not be exaggerated (with the exception of some comedies). It required details, sincerity, and honesty, and the acting requirement would be very high.

This was also the reason why some television actors would look awkward and weird on screen.

As an actor with [Beginner Acting Ability], Su Yang was quite familiar with this.

Tan Mei consoled Han Yi for a while before putting down her favorite food and taking the initiative to leave, giving Han Yi some space.

This was the first time that Han Yi had encountered such a problem, so she was not in the mood to eat. She hugged the script and sat on the chair to think.

This movie was directed by her good friend, Yi Wei, and it had nothing to do with Han Yi.

However, there was no one in the entertainment industry who did not want to improve and there was no drama actor who did not want to enter the big screen. Therefore, Han Yi took the initiative to look for Yi Wei and asked for a guest role, wanting to test the waters.

From her perspective, she had been honing her acting skills ever since she debuted and she was known for her acting skills among the female stars in the entertainment industry, so acting in a movie was definitely not a problem.

That time, she was there to gain some experience and make a cameo appearance. Next time, she could try to get a supporting role and embark on her journey to the big screen.

However, she did not expect to be met with such a huge obstruction during her very first scene.

In that scene, she played the role of a conscientious female employee who was fired by the company and found it hard to believe. She thought she had acted well, but… The director kept shouting “Cut” and saying that it was no good.

Han Yi had already tried all sorts of methods. She herself felt that her expression was very well done, but the director just did not think it would work. He said that her acting was too fake and that there were too many traces that showed she was faking it.

Han Yi, who was not a professional, had no idea what the problem was. She NG'ed seven or eight times in a row and was about to break down.

Even though the director did not scold her, the increasingly impatient look on his face and the way the crew members were witnessing made her feel bad.

She wanted to change, but she really did not know how.

‘This was how I've acted in television dramas. If I were a female employee who had been abandoned by the company, I should be angry. So, I thought of something that would make me angry, triggered my emotions and then showed it!

‘But… it just doesn't work.

‘However, the director did not say what was wrong, only that he was not satisfied.

‘If I didn't know that I have no grudges with the director, I would have suspected that the director is taking revenge on me.'

Very quickly, the 10 minutes ended. The director smiled as he returned to the set, but when he saw Han Yi, his face darkened.

He did not have any grudges with Han Yi, but he did not have a good impression of her either. This was because the character that Han Yi was acting in was actually a supporting role that he had thought highly of.

When he was filming the previous movie, he felt that the female extra had some talent in acting, so he wanted to give her a chance in this movie.

Not long after the decision was made, Han Yi said that she would make a free guest appearance.

Who was Han Yi? She was a newbie, a quasi list celebrity. She had her own popularity.

Of course, the production team was overjoyed, so they discussed the role that Han Yi was going to act in the night, and in the end, they rejected the person that he thought highly of.

Actually, if that was the case, even though the bearded director felt a little uncomfortable, he would not feel bad about Han Yi. After all, the movie was his work. If it was beneficial to the movie, he would only be happy.

But the problem was that Han Yi was too disappointing!

‘If her performance is too exaggerated in a movie, it will leave the audiences with goosebumps, causing them to feel as awkward as possible.

‘That kind of performance would be pretty good in television dramas, but in movies, it would be impossible to watch.'

Initially, although the bearded director was unwilling to guide Han Yi, he was still rather patient and gave her a chance. But later on, his patience was gone and he only had doubts about Han Yi.

He felt that knowing someone by their reputation was not as good as meeting them in person.

‘With such acting skills, she's still the number one star of the new generation of female actors? The actors nowadays are really too lousy!'

Therefore, the more he looked at Han Yi, the more he disliked her.

He was already feeling emotional.

The hierarchy in the entertainment industry was still very strict. Film directors were already at the upper echelons of the food chain, and the bearded director was an outstanding director with two box office sales that exceeded a hundred million. Therefore, he did not need to care much about a female star in a television drama.

Therefore, when he arrived at the scene, he did not even greet them. He sat on the director's chair and waved. “Let's begin.”

As soon as the Earth Emperor gave the order, the scene immediately began to operate.

“Attention all departments! Actors, please take your positions. Cameras, lights, audio!”

“”Beautiful Working Class” 57th scene, take nine, action!”

Dressed in professional attire, Han Yi stood up from her desk and looked at the people in front of her in disbelief. She roared, “I've been working in the company for seven years! Yet, you're just going to fire me like this now? You…”

“Cut!”

The bearded director ended the filming with a gloomy expression. He stood up and shouted at Han Yi, “Be natural! Be natural! Do you understand?! Is this how your teacher taught you to perform?”

Han Yi broke away from the scene and hurriedly bowed and apologized, “Sorry, director. I'm so sorry.”

The bearded director waved his hand. “Carry on.”

“Attention to all departments! “Beautiful Working Class” 57th scene, take ten! Action!”

“I've been with the company…”

“Cut! No! Again!”

“”Beautiful Working Class” 57th scene, take 11! Action!”

“I've been working in the company for seven years! Yet, you guys!”

“Cut! No!”

The director was clearly getting more and more impatient. He kept making “Cut” sounds over and over again, reshooting the same scene over and over again!

Han Yi's face was dripping with sweat, but she would bow and apologize every time before returning to the performance.

However, she really did not know how to act in a movie and the bearded director did not want to teach her due to his preconceived notions, so her performance did not improve at all. She could only repeat the NG over and over again and her voice was already hoarse.

No one felt like the director had done anything wrong. After all, no one was Han Yi's parents, so they did not have to help her. As an actor, it was their responsibility to act well.

And if Han Yi did not act well, she did not have any acting skills or professionalism.

Because of Han Yi's NGs, the director kept reshooting, causing the production team's workload to increase. Therefore, they did not have a good impression of Han Yi and their words gradually became worse.
