Shi Xi benefited a lot.
Most of the dramas she had acted in before were web dramas, and the director had asked for quantity rather than quality.
As long as the lines were right and there were no laughs, the director would pass.
They didn’t care about the positioning at all.
They didn’t care if her acting was awkward.
But now, the script was filled with long lines and often had long shots.
The director requested that there would be no pauses in the middle of a scene.
In online dramas, a scene would only last a few minutes. After filming the next scene, the editing would follow.
However, in the main drama, the long shots lasted for more than ten minutes, and there could not be a single mistake.
Shi Xi did not take any breaks from filming. She sat at the side and watched the others on the set.
The movements of these people, even when they raised their eyes and blinked, seemed to be integrated into their characters.
Qin Yun was playing the role of a strong career woman. She looked bright and elegant. When she wasn’t smiling, she was a cold career woman, a high and mighty goddess.
When she smiled, she was beautiful and moving.
Moreover, she would always show her most beautiful side in front of the camera.
Her performance in Shi Xi’s scenes was remarkable.
The director gave some suggestions and changed Shi Xi’s position before retaking the scene a few more times.
The effect was indeed better.
Although Shi Xi did not know much about the theory behind it, she was very impressed.
Only Yu Xiangming’s scenes were very stiff.
Yu Xiangming was originally a trainee of Tianyu. He had debuted in a boy band and knew little about acting.
He could recite the lines, but his tone and expression did not meet the director’s requirements.
The director was so angry that he almost vomited blood. After teaching him one move at a time, he finally passed.
After Yu Xiangming left the set, he heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the set to play with his phone.
When the director saw this, he could not help but say, “If you can’t act, don’t you know how to learn? Even Shi Xi knows how to learn modestly. Qin Yun is still studying the script, and you’re playing with your phone?”
Yu Xiangming’s face turned black after being scolded. He could only focus on his phone and read the script.
Shi Xi looked at the director, speechless.
Was the director deliberately trying to attract hatred?
This way, Yu Xiangming would definitely hate her!
Shi Xi thought to herself, but she still tried to figure out the script seriously.
She did not have many scenes in the drama, but her role was very unique.
If she acted well, she would definitely be outstanding!
The first day of filming was very rough, and she didn’t know how many shots they could use.
Anyway, it was finally over.
She thought she could go home after work.
However, the production crew said that the director had invited everyone to the opening ceremony.
The director treated everyone to a meal, so everyone naturally graced him with it.
Shi Xi also followed them to a hotel near the production team.
The director booked the big room and gathered the core members at a table.
Shi Xi could tell that even the seats were made according to the script.
Beside the director were Qin Yun and Ji Zhuoyi, and beside the assistant director was Yu Xiangming…
Anyway, her seat was the furthest from the director.
It happened to be diagonally opposite.
Shi Xi did not like to drink to begin with, so she took the blanket and poured some fruit juice for herself.
The others wanted to persuade her to drink, but Shi Xi tactfully rejected them all.
Those who could get to this table were all smart people. They would not embarrass others in public.
Other than Yu Xiangming.
“Sister Xi, let me propose a toast to you.” Yu Xiangming took another glass and poured some wine into it before handing it to Shi Xi. “This is our first time working together. Let’s have a happy cooperation in the future.”
Shi Xi didn’t take the wine glass and smiled lightly. “I don’t drink, so 1’11 use fruit juice instead.”
“I’m drinking wine, and you’re drinking fruit juice. Aren’t you going to give me face?” Yu Xiangming had always been flattered by others. Now that he had hit a wall, he did not give in..
