The performance is over.

I let out a long sigh and turned to look at Tang Xin. I found that her eyes were shining and she was looking at me with interest.

I’ve just recovered and I’m busy. QAQ

Chapter 150 Feeling

,

Director Wang took off his glasses and looked at me with some curiosity: “Well…how should I put it? It makes me a little PTSD…”

“PTSD?” I tilted my head and looked at him.

“Don’t look at me like that. It makes me feel worse.” He waved his hands quickly, “Forget it… Let’s not talk about the past. You look very experienced, don’t you?”

Of course. I used to be an animator for a long time. Before performing this simple key animation key frame, you would perform it in front of the camera or mirror, right?

“Yes, I have done a lot of things like this.” I nodded.

“Puff!” This was Producer Gu who was drinking water nearby. He hurriedly wiped the face of the crew member who was sprayed by him, “Sorry, sorry.”

“Many times?” Director Wang looked a little unconvinced. “Then you are very experienced?”

Experience? Nonsense, let alone the performances in the past, I can even replicate the performances of Disney princesses one to one!

“Yeah, I have a lot of experience!” I nodded confidently again.

“Okay! Very good. That’s you.” Director Wang slapped his thigh and made the decision.

“Huh?” Is it that simple? I was surprised to see Tang Xin covering her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

I ran to her, a little confused: “What’s going on? It’s so funny.”

“Hahaha…hahaha…” She laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, but she still couldn’t stop, “This is so funny.”

“What’s the matter?”

“You two are not talking on the same server. It’s totally irrelevant.” She wiped the tears from her eyes.

“what?”

“People must have thought you were an old sea king, a veteran in the love field!” Tang Xin patted my shoulder and pointed at the crowd around Director Wang.

I turned around and saw that Director Wang was looking at me and gave me a thumbs up. People around me also gave me mixed looks of curiosity, confusion, and disbelief.

Wait… Could it be that because of what I just said, they thought I was a green tea bitch?

“No, no, that’s not the case!” The corners of my mouth twitched a few times, “I have to explain it clearly to people.”

“Don’t go!” Tang Xin held me back, “Will explaining be useful? Besides, isn’t this a good thing? This way, those guys will be deterred from approaching you. They will feel that they are not high-level enough to handle you.”

“Can this still happen?!”

……

Inside the production room.

After passing the audition, the next step is to sign a contract and go through the process. Probably because the director values ​​me so much, Producer Gu is almost smiling from ear to ear.

“The shooting period is about a week, and your part is almost finished. We will try to finish it before the summer vacation. Is there any problem with the time?” Producer Gu said to us while holding the contract and writing on it.

“The time is not a problem, but I’m worried that it will conflict with my driver’s license test.” I glanced at Tang Xin and expressed my concerns.

Tang Xin replied with a wicked smile: “Didn’t you say before that I could pass the exam even without practicing?”

“Huh? Did I say that?” My face turned red and I instantly forgot my previous bold words.

“You want to take a driving test, right? Then you can only ask the instructor to arrange time for you. Filming time means money, there is nothing you can do about it.” He handed the contract to my desk. It was nearly one centimeter thick.

“That’s a bit exaggerated.” Tang Xin and I said it almost at the same time.

“I can’t finish reading this.” Tang Xin took one of the copies, flipped through it casually and said.

“It’s okay, it’s just a template, all artists sign like this.” Director Gu said easily.

I looked down and scanned a few pages. The contents of the contract were written in great detail, with detailed requirements for the actors in every small item. There were even special notes to explain those words that seemed very difficult to understand at first glance.

Perhaps he saw my hesitation, so Producer Gu handed me his pen and said, “Don’t worry, we are a legitimate company after all. You can search Baidu to see if there is any negative news. We have always been nice to actors.”

“But…” Out of concern, I took the pen but did not sign. After all, I have a lifetime of experience, so signing is something that needs to be considered carefully.

“It’s okay. Our cooperation this time is mainly to invite you to be a temporary actor. It won’t affect your other rights. Moreover, contracts are mutually restrictive.” He turned to the last few pages of the contract. “Look, in addition to Party A’s rights, there are also Party A’s obligations, as well as your rights and interests as Party B. We have detailed descriptions.”

After thinking about it, I realized that since it is a listed company, there is no need to play tricks in these places, otherwise it would have been exposed long ago. Thinking this way, I picked up a pen and wrote my name at the end.

“You need to write on the seam here.” Producer Gu turned the contract sideways, evenly and skillfully spread out the seam of the contract, and asked me to write my name on it.

After signing, Producer Gu took one of the contracts away and gave us a transparent folder, asking us to keep the one we had for later use.

……

It was already past four in the evening when we came out of Sound Line Pictures. The summer sun was still scorching, and it hurt when it hit the back of my neck. Tang Xin took out a parasol from somewhere and opened it for both of us.

“Are you a magician?” I was touched and curious.

She curled her red lips slightly: “Ha, isn’t a magician and an actor a perfect match?”

“Thank you.” I blushed and thanked.

“Of course not. How can we let a big star get tanned?” Tang Xin said playfully.

After hearing what she said, I became worried again: “I’m afraid I won’t be able to act well.”

“Ah? You’re still not acting well? Wasn’t the acting just now realistic enough? If I didn’t know what kind of person you are, I would have called a girl like you a green tea bitch behind her back.” Tang Xin laughed.

“It’s okay to perform alone, but if there are other actors around, I’d still feel a little… well, uncomfortable.” I shook my head, thinking back to when I was doing performance animation, but I always performed alone in front of the camera or in front of a mirror, and had never acted opposite others.

“It’s okay, I believe you can do it!” Tang Xin gently hugged my waist, which was a little itchy. But I still leaned against her unconsciously, a little hot, but very soft and reassuring.

“Yeah, I’ll try my best.”

“By the way, Xiaomeng. I have a small request!” Tang Xin suddenly tightened her arms around my waist.

“Ok?”

“That’s it. Can you perform the same thing you performed today for me tonight…” Tang Xin said shyly.

“what?”

“Just act out the role of a green tea girl, and then I’ll push you down. That way it’ll feel better!” Tang Xin held my hand with red eyes and heavy breathing.

“???”

–

It’s numb, my family, I have had a cold for half a month. My throat hurt so much that I doubted my life and thought I had the new coronavirus. Fortunately, the nucleic acid test was negative several times.

Chapter 151 Take a Bite

“Stop!” Director Wang slammed the chair angrily, stood up angrily and walked in front of the male and female protagonists.

“We’ve done NG six times. You guys haven’t memorized your lines clearly, right?” Director Wang wiped the sweat from his head with a towel.

“I’m sorry.” Because it was a campus idol drama, the male lead was a young handsome guy with a good temper. Facing the director’s bombardment, he seemed very sorry and apologized with his hands clasped together.

“That’s enough, that’s enough.” The heroine waved her hands impatiently, “Just shoot it again.”

“Hurry up, please. I’ve only taken a few photos since this morning, and I can’t keep up with the shooting progress.”

The director and the actor were still arguing when the producer, agent, and assistant director all walked over and started chattering and making a lot of noise.

Tang Xin and I arrived at the city’s vocational and technical school at around six in the morning. The entire crew rented the school venue for a whole week to shoot this film, and also invited many students to act as extras.

“I should have slept a little longer if I had known.” I took out my phone out of boredom, opened my Weibo and read boring messages.

“If you still fall asleep, who will do your makeup? The makeup artist only has fixed time to do your makeup.” Tang Xin was much more excited than me. Everything in the crew looked very new to him.

“She didn’t even put on much makeup for me!” I complained, regretting what I said. I quickly turned around to make sure the makeup artist was not around.

“You have a good foundation?” Tang Xin rolled her eyes at me. “You know you said something wrong, right? If others hear you, they will be jealous to death!”

I stuck out my tongue and scratched my head, trying to get away with it: “No, I was just saying it casually.”

“But if you ask me, this sailor suit really suits you!”

Tang Xin looked me up and down with lustful eyes, which had that special power that could penetrate clothes, and made me tighten my skirt.

“Really? This skirt is too short.”

“It’s OK. It’s much longer than the one I bought for you.”

“Can I wear the clothes you bought for me outside?!” I glared at her and quickly shook those horrible memories of clothes out of my mind.

By 10 o’clock, when the sun was already high in the sky, the protagonist’s first few scenes were finished. Sweat marks had already begun to appear on the director’s vest. The actors also began to sweat because of the rising temperature, which made the makeup artist very tired. She had to run around with all kinds of pens and brushes to touch up the actors’ makeup.

“Go, go, go, it’s your turn.” Producer Gu ran up to me and said, “Are the lines in the script okay?”

I nodded, “Of course, this is easier than the test I took back then.”

Because of the delay in the first few shots, I didn’t have much time to prepare, and I was just asked to stand there and prepare to start acting. Even the assistant director just came up and wrote a few simple words.

The content of the performance was quite simple. It was like when I was passing by the stairs with a book in my hand, I was bumped by the male protagonist who was running up with a basketball. The book in my hand fell to the ground, and then a series of conversations with the male protagonist began.

“Ation!”

Following the director’s order, I walked over normally with a dozen books handed to me by the props team. The camera on the slide track slid slowly with my steps, and the male lead ran up according to the rhythm of the assistant director’s instructions. At the moment of the fork in the road, he bumped into me.

There was no acting at all. Although she was prepared, she was still hit hard by the male actor and she didn’t react. She fell to the side with a thud, and the book in her hand was scattered all over the floor.

“Ouch!” My leg was indeed hurt when I fell, but fortunately I was prepared, so it wasn’t serious.

“Are you okay?” The actor, who was still in a daze, reacted and squatted down to apologize to me, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see it just now.”

You… Big Brother, can you be a little gentle when performing? I couldn’t help but complain in my heart and glared at him: “Can’t you just watch the road?”

“Good! Cut, good, one take.” The director called for a stop, and he was obviously very satisfied with this shot. “The actors keep their poses, and the two cameras move to the lower positions. The supporting actress, please keep your emotions!”

…

There were six scenes involving my performance in total, and it took only about half an hour to complete them all. The speed of the process gave the director a new understanding of me, and he nodded repeatedly. Even the actor who played the male lead felt a certain amount of pressure, and most of the NG scenes were caused by his mistakes. Therefore, the entire crew had a subtle change in their view of me, from being unknown to being noticed wherever I went.

At noon, the intense filming came to an end. In the director’s words, it was all thanks to me that the morning’s filming was completed as planned.
