At this moment, it was the first time the character’s second personality had appeared and occupied her body. Tan Ming had to act as if she was quickly adjusting to the people around and surroundings that had suddenly appeared in front of her. She had to act as the second personality to show that she was unfamiliar with the environment she was in and the feeling before her second personality completely went crazy.
To put it bluntly, the difficulty of this scene was all on Tan Ming. Tan Si was just helping her go through the motions.
As the psychological changes in the character had to be completed in an extremely short period of time, Tan Ming was very worried that she would be a burden. However, she did not expect the scene to be cut more than ten times because of Tan Si’s poor condition.
Tan Ming took advantage of these opportunities. After acting the same scene for more than ten times, she became more and more natural. Every time Director Dong looked at her, his gaze was filled with affirmative encouragement.
Director Dong thought that although Tan Si was not a legitimate girlfriend, she was still a mistress who had given birth to a son for the Si family. Director Dong endured it again and again, but he could not stand it anymore when he had to call for a cut for the 23rd time.
After some thought, he still walked forward. Director Dong looked at Tan Si and said patiently, “Tan Si, I know you want to use some techniques to better perform this scene, but… Anyway, just finish these three sentences normally. Just be natural.”
Director Dong did not give her his full piece of mind. Of course, Tan Si could tell what the other party was implying.
However, Tan Si did not think that it was her fault. She firmly believed that Director Dong was trying to please Tan Ming, the wife of the CEO on the surface. He was afraid that she would use her acting skills to crush Tan Ming, so he kept calling for a cut.
Tan Si had been called to cut so many times that she was already impatient. “Director Dong, don’t be so obvious about the special treatment!”
After saying that, Tan Si even deliberately glanced at Tan Ming. “I’m a professional actor and someone who has been acting for a few years. How can I not be comparable to a newcomer who has just entered the industry?!”
When Director Dong heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He regretted that he had relented because of Tan Si’s popularity that day. Now that he had fallen into a wealthy family’s love triangle, he could not afford to offend anyone in front of him. He could only mention tactfully, “Tan Si, do you want to see the scenes that were filmed just now? The effect of saying the lines normally will be even better.”
Tan Si rolled her eyes. “Director Dong, I know you’re famous, but I didn’t expect you to try so hard to climb up the social ladder such that you would even blame the innocent. This is a little too much. In order not to show that her acting skills are bad, you actually want to forcefully suppress my show!”
Director Dong took a deep breath and looked at Tan Si, then at Tan Ming. This was the first time he and Tan Si had worked together, but he had seen her acting before. He could only say that she was average.
However, he thought that she would definitely be able to act out a few lines. Although he had only interacted with Tan Ming for a few days, he could tell that Tan Ming was the kind of person who was serious, down-to-earth, and willing to learn. Most importantly, she was born to be in this line of work.
Originally, if Tan Si was actually able to act well, this scene could have been filmed two or three times and be over. Who knew that the two of them were actually the main wife and the mistress? Before the main wife had even flown into a rage, she, who wanted to be the mistress, had already caused a lot of trouble for him.
Sigh, alright. Even if he couldn’t afford to offend her, he could always hide! In this life, even if Tan Si wanted to bring in funds to join the production team, he wouldn’t give her a second chance!
Director Dong waved his hand helplessly. “Continue filming, An’an. Shen Yi’s second personality is a dark and gloomy person. Try to move less and express more with your eyes.”
Tan Ming was a little confused as she pondered. Director Dong explained in detail the feelings he wanted Tan Ming to express.
Tan Ming nodded to show that she understood.
Tan Si sneered disdainfully. “Aiya, even any student could have a go at this. The threshold for being an actress is really getting lower and lower. If you don’t understand what he means, go back to elementary school and learn to read.”
Tan Ming did not want to argue with Tan Si, but seeing how Tan Si kept belittling her to make her presence known, it seemed a little unreasonable for her to not do anything.
Tan Ming rolled up her sleeves. “Tan Si, it’s uncomfortable for you if you’re not causing trouble, right?”
Tan Si knew how strong Tan Ming was. She took a few steps back when she saw Tan Ming’s actions. “What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, there are cameras here. If you dare to mess around, I’ll expose your bullying face.”
Tan Ming sneered. “Expose as you wish. It’s a good opportunity for people to see how your so-called image of a single mother came about and why you had to separate from the child’s father.”
When Tan Si was angry, she would raise her hand to hit someone out of habit. Tan Ming did not care. She grabbed Tan Si’s wrist and pushed her slightly. Tan Si stumbled a few steps back before she could stabilize herself.
Tan Ming crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Tan Si. She said calmly, “You can continue fooling around and let everyone watch how it goes down..”
