I, who was afraid of society, was forced to marry a national goddess

Chapter 265

The next morning, Bai Qinning received goodies from Yang Weikang in Haicheng and took them to the set.

The crew's car left earlier than their team to prepare in advance, so Li Shuo would go out earlier than Bai Qinning every day.

Especially in the past two days, because the male lead was not in good condition for several important scenes, Li Shuo, who was the author and part-time director consultant, also took great pains to help the male actor adjust his condition for reshooting.

8:30 in the morning.

Bai Qinning came to the crew, and Li Shuo, Xu Houshan and the crew's shooting team were reshooting the male actor.

The male actor licked a candy painting in front of the camera, and Xu Houshan sat in front of the monitor and stared.

Li Shuo stood aside, with his hands on his waist and his eyebrows slightly frowned. Even though his wife came to the set with the team, he didn't notice it.

After a shot, Xu Houshan slowly turned his head and looked at Li Shuo: "Teacher Li Shuo, how is it?"

In fact, he thought the male actor's performance this time was good enough, but Li Shuo's requirements were much higher than his.

Xu Houshan was undecided about Li Shuo's decision.

Hearing this, Li Shuo shook his head, then walked up to the actor Zhong Youliang and said to him: "Your emotional state is still not in place, you have to work hard again."

Among all the actors on the set, Zhong Youliang, the male lead, has the most experience and has made extraordinary achievements in film and television dramas. He has won more than a dozen film and television awards, and is also the first Hong Kong actor to win a national TV award for a police and gangster film.

In today's scene of licking sugar paintings, Zhong Youliang thought he had perfectly presented the state of the male protagonist.

He was rejected by Li Shuo again, and he looked unhappy. He didn't like Li Shuo, a mere novelist, to point fingers at the acting skills of a professional actor like him.

Zhong Youliang thought that Li Shuo was deliberately picking bones in eggs and making things difficult for him, a Hong Konger.

He didn't look very good, and even didn't want to look at Li Shuo's face. He said coldly: "Teacher Li Shuo, I am more professional than you in acting. I think my performance just now has shown the psychological state of the male protagonist at that time, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhong Youliang has his own persistence, and he thinks he has done a great job.

Xu Houshan saw that the atmosphere between Zhong Youliang and Li Shuo was not right, and immediately stood up and walked towards the two of them to prevent the conflict between the two from escalating.

In fact, he also felt that Zhong Youliang's performance just now lacked a little feeling, but this shot had been retaken more than a dozen times, which should have been Zhong Youliang's limit.

Xu Houshan had just walked up to the two of them and hadn't spoken yet when Li Shuo said to Zhong Youliang in a tougher tone: "I told you that you didn't show the male lead's state. This needs to be reshot!"

Zhong Youliang immediately straightened his neck and looked at Li Shuo: "Since you said I didn't show the male lead's state, what do you think I'm lacking, Mr. Li Shuo?"

Zhong Youliang thought his performance was perfect and Li Shuo was just deliberately making things difficult for him. He couldn't find any specific faults with him.

Xu Houshan was also afraid that Li Shuo would lose face, so he stretched his hand between the two of them. Just as he was about to speak to smooth things over, Li Shuo started to speak.

"Your biggest shortcoming is that you can't get rid of the burden on your body. Your expression, breathing and movements are not close enough to the character setting."

"This role is to show the fireworks of the male protagonist's ordinary life, which looks like a person in daily life longing to live."

"Like the scene of licking sugar painting, you need to lick it "exaggeratedly". This is risking your life to compete! So you have to go all out. Can a person in daily life control the expression on his face and lick calmly in such a tense and life-threatening situation?"

This is the first time that Li Shuo has output so much content at one time on the set in so many days.

It is also the problem he has summarized from the male actors in these days, and he pointed it out at this moment.

This play is not only his work, the heroine is Bai Qinning, and he must guarantee the quality of this play to the maximum extent.

Otherwise, if he travels through time and becomes a cheater, will he make a bad movie and destroy the classics in the parallel world?

He finally said something harsh: "When I signed the contract with Noon Sunshine, I reserved my right to choose the actors. If you can't get into the state again, just pack up and leave, and replace it with an actor who is more capable than you."

When Li Shuo said this, everyone present was stunned.

From the beginning of filming to now, it was the first time they saw Li Shuo get angry like this on the set.

Xu Houshan suddenly realized from Li Shuo's speech just now that Zhong Youliang's performance was indeed lacking the fireworks of ordinary people!

Even he, the director, couldn't say it directly before. Now that Li Shuo asked to change the actor, he pursed his lips and dared not refute it.

Zhong Youliang didn't expect Li Shuo to really point out his problems in one breath, and he realized it at this moment.After realizing it, he was indeed a little reluctant to lick the sugar painting exaggeratedly, thinking that it would be too ugly.

But as Li Shuo said, when it comes to life-threatening situations, who would care whether it would be too ugly?

At that time, of course, the most important thing is to survive.

However, this shot was indeed not well acted by him.

At this moment, Li Shuo still threatened to replace someone else if he couldn't act well, and put forward a tough attitude that could not be disobeyed. Zhong Youliang was really afraid that he, a professional actor, would be replaced because of his poor acting skills.

That was really embarrassing.

He coughed unnaturally, and indeed recognized that it was his own shortcomings. He restrained his strong attitude just now, and took the initiative to say to Li Shuo: "I have to admit that the problem you just pointed out, Teacher Li Shuo, is very accurate. I apologize for my behavior just now."

He looked at Xu Houshan: "Then, listen to Teacher Li Shuo, shoot it again, I will do what the teacher said."

In Xu Houshan's eyes, Zhong Youliang is actually a rare actor, and his acting skills, appearance and even age are consistent with the male lead in the script.

It's just that the world in Li Shuo's eyes seems to be quite different from theirs, and his requirements for works are higher and his suggestions are more precise.

This is also the reason why Xu Houshan relies more on Li Shuo's opinions.

Xu Houshan didn't want to lose the actors, nor did he want to offend Li Shuo and not give him guidance in the future. He smiled and said to him: "Yes, Teacher Li Shuo, let's try to reshoot again. This time, we will perform well again and see how the situation is."

Li Shuo didn't deliberately make things difficult for Zhong Youliang. He sincerely hoped that this TV series could be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and get good results.

Zhong Youliang recognized his mistakes, and Xu Houshan was there to make peace. Li Shuo nodded and said: "Okay, but I will only give Teacher Zhong one chance. If he can't integrate again, I can only regretfully replace him."

Soon, the scene of licking the sugar cake was reshot. This time, Zhong Youliang not only adopted Li Shuo's opinions, but also let go of his burden when licking the sugar painting. At the same time, he was also afraid that he would be fired by Li Shuo because of his poor acting skills and ruin his acting career. He exuded a strong desire to survive from the inside out.

Under multiple pressures, he really showed the tension, embarrassment, and desire to survive required in the plot. During the filming, he was so nervous that big drops of sweat rolled down his head, which perfectly fit the plot.

Xu Houshan stood beside Li Shuo and saw Zhong Youliang's performance through the monitor. His eyes lit up. After a shot was retaken, he immediately gave a thumbs up to Li Shuo who was sitting in front of the monitor.

This time, Li Shuo was very satisfied with Zhong Youliang's performance, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Zhong Youliang was still kneeling on the ground. After the shot was finished, he immediately observed Li Shuo's face. Seeing that Li Shuo finally smiled, his tense nerves immediately relaxed, and he lay directly on the ground, gasping for breath.

Finally, he didn't have to... be fired!

As soon as Zhong Youliang lay down, Li Shuo immediately raised his hand to signal the cameraman to shoot quickly, not to miss this natural and plot-fitting scene.

The reaction of the male protagonist who survived the disaster.

Zhong Youliang: "..."
