Tan Si swept her gaze around and realized that although everyone’s gazes were not directly at them, it was impossible for others not to feel the casual looks that drifted over. She endured the anger in her chest and tried to find balance in her mouth. “Hurry up and continue acting. Don’t waste my time!”
Tan Ming glanced at Tan Si and did not continue harping on it.
Director Dong listened to the conversation clearly from the side. After watching the entire scene, he left the camera and secretly glanced at the calm Tan Ming. He could not help but sigh at Tan Ming’s magnanimity. She would definitely be able to stand out in the future.
Some of the people on the set were far away and some were close. Although they did not hear the complete version, it did not stop them from piecing together 80 to 90% of it based on the bits and pieces they heard.
“Tsk tsk, mistresses nowadays are really arrogant. The wife didn’t even go after her and yet she still took the initiative to provoke her.”
“The morals of the world arc declining day by day. Tan Si has deceived countless netizens and fans with her innocent persona in front of the camera!”
“If today’s matter was exposed, do you think Tan Si will be shamed till she has to leave the industry?!”
“Don’t mess around. We’re just calefares. If it affects the box office sales of the movie, Director Dong just needds to say a word and we, who don’t have anyone backing us, won’t be able to take on any roles in the future. Moreover, it involves the privacy of those rich families. If we’re attacked and taken revenge against, the gains won’t make up for the losses.”
“I was just saying. I didn’t plan to do anything.”
“What’s going on today? Tan Si’s history is very exciting! I know her junior high school classmate and have long known her character. I’m not surprised to see this scene today.”
“You still have insider information?! Tell me quickly!”
After that, he took two more takes. Once he saw that Tan Ming had completely acted out the feeling he wanted, Director Dong moved on immediately.
Director Dong chose to ignore the effect of Tan Si’s performance. If he chose to care, he was afraid that it wouldn’t make a difference even if he continued to film that same scene for the whole day. If it really was too bad, he would use other technical methods to deal with Tan Si’s scenes later.
Tan Si left immediately after filming. Tan Ming still had a month’s worth of scenes to film. Although she had the babies to take care of, she still tried her best to squeeze out more time to stay on set, especially the scenes with the veteran actors and Jiang Huai. She did not miss a single one of their scenes and pulled her teacher with her to analyze and study on the spot the entire time.
When Director Dong saw this, he was also very happy to give Tan Ming additional guidance. For example, how to judge the director’s schedule based on the different positions of the machinery so that she could know where to walk on stage but not appear on camera.
Since someone was willing to teach, Tan Ming wanted to learn even more. “Director Dong, I often hear you say that you want to change the camera angle. Sometimes, it’s 50, sometimes it’s 28. What does that mean?”
Director Dong smiled. “Fifty means that the director wants to film a big scene. 28 means that the director wants to film a panoramic scene. At this time, you should perform bigger body movements because if your movements are small, you will become inconspicuous to the camera. If you want to film a more close-up scene, you have to act through your heart, through emotions. Those veteran actors have all figured it out themselves after acting for so long.”
Tan Ming nodded and was enlightened. “No wonder I saw some people looking at the environment on the set before filming. I was wondering what they were looking at!”
Director Dong casually taught Tan Ming how to find the lights so that she could act to the best effect on camera.
Tan Ming’s humble attitude and spirit of seeking guidance made Director Dong, who was a good teacher, very happy. He couldn’t help but say a few more words with emotion, “Young actors these days are different from those old actors. They can’t take hardship! Once they’re slightly famous, they’ll immediately hire an assistant. It seems that without an assistant, they can’t show that they’re an actor. No, that isn’t being an actor. That is being a celebrity!”
“They only know how to enjoy themselves. Their skills only improve superficially, causing them to become lazy. They don’t know that actors have to learn to serve themselves. They will end up suffering!”
When Tan Ming heard the word assistant, she thought of Wang Zhen and her face heated up.
Director Dong only remembered that Tan Ming had an assistant when he saw this. He felt a little awkward. “I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about those people who like to instruct their assistants to do everything. However, I noticed that you do many things on your own. You’re still different from them.”
Actually, Wang Zhen was quite free now. It was mainly because Tan Ming didn’t like to order people around. Wang Zhen mostly acted as an escort. It was more like Jiang Huai had placed her by her side to prevent her from encountering danger alone without anyone’s help. When it was inconvenient for Tan Ming to go back in the afternoon, she would help her bring milk back and send Li Mei’s soup over..
