I'll Add Points To All Things Chapter 603

Chapter 603: I'll Direct Her!

It was one thing for those frontline staff who were still working, but they were so busy that they did not have time to complain and could only curse in their hearts.

But for second-line employees like the stage manager, the assistant started to complain softly.

“Is this all there is to Han Yi's acting? It's like Ma Jingtao is still alive, roaring to teach his daughter.”

“That's right, her acting is trash. She's just wasting time.”

“I heard that she was the one who took the initiative to act this time. She came of her own accord, yet she's ended up acting like this. She has really lost all her dignity this time.”

“If news of her acting gets out, the other directors and actors would have to think twice before hiring her.”

“That's right, especially after she left Sister Mi. Without stable resources, it'll be difficult for her to encounter something like this again.”

“Speaking of which, I'm curious. If she can't act, she can choose not to act. Why is she so stubborn?”

“Who knows? Perhaps she's already numb to it.”

Su Yang listened to their discussion and looked at Han Yi.

'Han Yi is indeed being a little numb.

'NGs keep coming one after another, yet they aren't giving her any time to think. This is like torture for an actor, slowly cutting away her flesh, shredding her pride, rending her confidence.

'However, the bearded director isn't making any adjustments at all, nor is he explaining anything. He's merely continuing to torture her.

'To be honest, even though the director isn't obligated to teach the actors how to act, as the director of the production team, it's the director's responsibility to adjust the actors' mentality and bring out the best state within them so that they can perform better.

'This bearded director is obviously putting his personal emotions into work.'

Just as Su Yang was thinking, Han Yi NG'ed again.

The bearded director could not take it anymore. He suddenly stood up, pointed at Han Yi and scolded, “Do you even know how to act?! How many times do you want to shoot this scene?! If you don't know how to act, can you not waste our time?!”

Han Yi's face was pale and her eyes were red. However, she knew that her acting was not good, so she kept bowing and apologizing. “Sorry, director. Sorry.”

As she apologized, her tears fell uncontrollably. As she bent over, they fell from her eyes to the ground.

She felt extremely wronged.

It was true that she did not understand, so this time, she came with the attitude of learning. To show her sincerity, she did not even ask for a guest appearance fee.

However, to her surprise, the director did not care about her at all. He did not even give her any guidance and just let her act on her own.

When she did not act well, the director did not tell her what she had done wrong. Instead, he just repeated the scene over and over again.

She felt lost and desperate. She tried to adjust her acting, but she just could not satisfy the director, causing her to be at a complete loss.

The accusations and discussions from the surrounding crew members were like sharp swords stabbing at her chest.

Therefore, she could only cry and apologize profusely. “I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It's my fault.”

Just as she kept apologizing, suddenly, a hand stopped her and a clear voice rang in her ears. “Apologize? What's there to apologize for?”

Han Yi was stunned. She lifted her tear-stained face and looked at the owner of the hand.

It was a young man around 18 or 19 years old. He had a handsome face and he looked quite handsome in the appropriate outfit. The afternoon sun was shining in the east, basking him in sunlight and making him look like he was glowing.

Han Yi was distracted for a moment before she recognized the person in front of her. He was the president of the Shanghai Fan Club and her boss… Su Yang.

Han Yi had mixed feelings about Su Yang. When she heard that her boss was a fan of hers, her emotions were similar to Lin Jiali's, disbelief, suspicion and worry.

Therefore, once she found out about Su Yang's identity, she had been silent for the past month.

The second time they met was on that day, at that very moment.

And now, he suddenly stood out. 'What is he doing?'

This thought flashed across Han Yi's mind and the same thought appeared in the minds of the crew members. 'What is this person trying to do?'

'Who is he? Why is he suddenly standing at the filming location?'

At that moment, Su Yang spoke. He supported Han Yi and looked at the bearded director. He asked coldly, “Director, let me ask you. She has NG'ed more than ten times now. Everyone present, including you, can tell that she is not good at acting in movies. You are the director, so you have to be responsible for the production team and the actors. Hence, can't you guide her and tell her what her problems are?”

The bearded director did not expect a young man to suddenly stand up and criticize him. His face couldn't help but turn red as he shouted, “Who is this! Who is this person? Why is he here!”

The production team was in an uproar. Obviously, they did not know Su Yang's identity.

Tan Mei wanted to stop Su Yang when she stepped forward, but she did not manage to do so. Now that she saw the situation, she rushed forward to explain. However, Su Yang raised his hand and stopped her. He said, “I am Su Yang, the boss of Han Yi's management agency.”

The moment Su Yang said that, the entire place fell silent for a moment. Then, there was a commotion.

“Is this the boss who's also her fan?”

“That's right. Looks like he really loves and cares for Han Yi. He's even come to visit her during filming.”

“What's the use of taking care of her? She's just an outsider who doesn't know anything and has no resources. Look at the sorry state Han Yi is in, coming to our production team just to make a guest appearance.”

The bearded director narrowed his eyes. “Are you criticizing my work because you're her boss? What right do you have to judge me?”

Su Yang scoffed nonchalantly. “That's because not only do I have a management agency, I also have a film company. I've also filmed a movie before and I'm the producer of that movie. Thus, I know as much about movies as you do.”

“The director's responsibility is to film a good show. If an actor underperforms, it's not only the actor's problem, it's also yours!”

Su Yang's words caused the bearded director's face to turn red and white. If Su Yang was an outsider, he could completely ignore Su Yang's criticism. But if Su Yang was a professional, a producer and a part-time worker, then his criticism would come from the perspective of the industry.

Especially since the producers had a higher status in the industry than the director. It would not have been an exaggeration to say that they were being criticized.

If word got out that a producer doubted his directing skills, his reputation in the industry would be affected.

Therefore, the bearded director quickly retorted, “How do you know I haven't been guiding her? I did! But, she's just a piece of rotten wood! She can't be enlightened at all! She just can't make it no matter how hard she tries! She's unsuitable for acting!”

Su Yang chuckled and replied without hesitation, “Then you must really have a problem with your ability! You're saying that Han Yi doesn't know how to act? Her acting skills are recognized by everyone in the industry. If you can't even guide her properly, are you really not going to consider the possibility that it might be something to do with your abilities?!”

The bearded director was so angry that his face turned red. He immediately wanted to retort.

In the end, Su Yang used words to shut him up. “Are you refusing to admit that you're incompetent? Fine! I'll give her the script then. Five minutes! Five minutes is all that's needed. If she doesn't perform well in this scene, I'll apologize to you on the spot!”

When the bearded director heard what Su Yang said, he was so angry that he laughed. “Fine, sure! I won't give you five minutes, I'll give you ten! If you can enlighten this rotten piece of wood, I'll admit that I'm incompetent on the spot and apologize to you and Han Yi!”

Su Yang said, “Deal.”

With that, Su Yang dragged Han Yi out of the filming location under everyone's watchful eyes. They found a room and started to talk about the filming.

Su Yang was actually very confident because he had been observing Han Yi for a long time. He realized that it was not Han Yi who was bad at acting, but she did not know that she should not exaggerate or leave too much trace that she was faking it. Instead, she had to act conservatively and reveal her true feelings.

'With just a little push, Han Yi's condition would actually improve.

'Of course, even if that was the case, it might not be enough. After all, movies have high requirements for acting skills.'

Therefore, Su Yang decided to use the special tool that he had recently obtained, the [Emotional Storage Card].

The [Emotional Storage Card] could give the stored emotions to others, allowing them to possess these emotions.

And what was acting?

It was actually to transmit one's emotions to the audience.

Then the most direct way to act was to reveal your one's feelings! Let your emotions infect the audience!

Hence, after taking into account Han Yi's scene, Su Yang decided to use [Emotional Coin: Anger] to make her angry.

Then, he used his rich acting experience to guide her so that she could use her anger on that scene. He believed that by doing it that way, the scene would definitely be perfect and no one would be able to find any flaws!

Su Yang was confident that he could solve Han Yi's problem, but the crew did not know that.

Especially with Han Yi's consecutive NGs, everyone lost confidence in her acting skills.

Even though Su Yang revealed his identity and claimed that he was the producer and part of the entertainment industry, he was not a director nor an actor. How could he possibly be able to direct the script?

'Is this guy for real?!

'This is similar to Liu Xiang being an athlete and an Olympic champion. However, he's a hurdler champion, not a soccer player. If a hurdler champion were to play soccer, would he be able to play better than a national football champion?

'Hmm… He might actually be better.

'After all, as long as he did not kick himself, he would have won against the national football team.

'Although this example isn't wrong, the meaning is there.

'Su Yang is not a professional, so it's impossible for him to know how to talk about acting. Furthermore, he's facing Han Yi, an actress who had NG'ed more than ten times without any improvement. It's obvious that she's not suitable for filming, so it's even more impossible for her to succeed!'

Hence, the production team started discussing.

“Is that boss crazy? He knows how to direct a script?”
