What a smart cat.

Meng Ran retracted his disdain: Okay, this breeding skill is still useful.

Moreover, she narrowed her eyes and had a guess:

The system may not necessarily give her too high-level skills. For example, if she really obtains Meng Qizhou's research ability, it is very likely to change the current world.

Even though she still has to work in the entertainment industry, she can be a scientist in private.

Yeah, side job.

Yes, if she can't find any revolutionary comrades who are scientists, she can become a scientist herself, which can be considered a curve to save the country.

Meng Ran didn't think much about it.

It’s useless to think too much.

She will prepare to join the group next.

…

This time is earlier than Meng Ran thought, and also earlier than the time of joining the group listed in the announcement.

However, Meng Ran was not familiar with this crew at all at this time. She really had too many early contacts, especially the actors who were about to star with her.

The male lead, the female lead, and the supporting characters who have more roles after her, not to mention face-to-face video chats, at least they have chatted in the group.

So we were no strangers when we met and took makeup photos.

It was the number one male, Zhong Xudong, and Meng Ran couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

This male lead is a newcomer. He has just filmed a hit TV series before, so he is considered top-notch.

Strictly speaking, his popularity is higher than Xu Lejin.

After all, Hsu Lok-jin currently has a lot of resources, but has yet to produce a particularly representative hit drama.

Of course, he has a family to back him up, and he will become famous sooner or later.

But Zhong Xudong is not like that. It is said that his family is only well-off.

The play he acted in was an adaptation of a two-male drama, and Meng Ran and he played face to face.

But she must say that she looks much better in person than in the video.

Before, he probably didn't have a filter on and didn't trim his edges very much. But now, after the makeup artist's skillful polishing, his whole state instantly changed, giving him a brilliance that was different from ordinary people.

In an instant, you go from being good-looking as an amateur to someone who can be noticed by thousands of people at a glance. This is probably the so-called temperament of a big star.

What's rare is that he has a pretty good temper.

It was not as arrogant as some of the top people Meng Ran had come into contact with.

Of course, Meng Ran doesn’t know what the other person is like in private, but they get along fairly well on the set.

Even though they and the actors all get along very well, it's a pity that the atmosphere on the set is not that good.

"Pause."

Yan Manlin shouted with a loudspeaker, and the crew who were filming had to stop.

She called Zhong Xudong over with a cold face.

The remaining people breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then all smiled bitterly.

This is not the first time.

According to the time limit, this scene can be played in two hours, but now it has been dragged on to almost a whole morning.

Yan Manlin strives for perfection, but if it doesn't meet her expectations, she will stop midway and let them shoot again.

And there will also be this situation: after finally finishing filming this scene, she didn't say to continue with the next scene, but asked everyone to do it again.

Obviously, even if this scene is over, it doesn't mean that the film is finished.

Although the overall effect is barely satisfactory, Yan Manlin actually feels that there is still room for improvement.

But you must know that the same plot must grasp the same emotions over and over again, which is really a test of one's patience.

Not every emotion can be so full.

Filming is a very tiring job, not only because of the physical exertion, but also because the greater the fluctuations and the more emotions you invest, the more it consumes your mind.

Even though it looks like he didn't move much, in fact, when he took the photo all morning, he was slumped on the chair and didn't even want to breathe.

Because I am out of breath and very tired.

Meng Ran is considered to be at the bottom. She has struggled in scenes with extras and backgrounds, and has suffered the hardships of being an extra. But this is the first time she has filmed such a heavyweight, starring role, and the result is unexpected.

So tired?!

Maybe it’s because the people I come into contact with tend to be more idol-type, but in fact not many people endure hardships.

Even though she played the role of the regent's maid in the previous drama and had many fighting scenes, it wasn't very consuming because of the skills she mastered.

In other words, it consumes physical energy, but it is actually not very tiring. After a hearty session, I slept very well.

Some people fall in love with the feeling of exercise because of this.

But now there is a lot of drama, and the changes in emotions are also very delicate.

Even though he is a cold character, being cold is not the same as facial paralysis.

On the contrary, precisely because her emotions are relatively small, she can easily fall into a deadlock:

If you act too exaggeratedly, you will feel like a lunatic, too detached and superficial, but if you act too subtly, it will directly turn into facial paralysis.

It is difficult to grasp the richness of this kind of literary drama, and Meng Ran was tortured quite a bit by Yan Manlin because of this.

Even though she already has professional-level acting skills, she is still too picky to hold her head high.

Fortunately, Sister Nan and Brother Nan were also suffering with her.

Tang Yue and Zhong Xudong were embarrassed and scolded by the screenwriter together with her, and they developed a bit of sympathy for each other, and their relationship grew rapidly under such circumstances.

Another day.

"Take a break at noon." Screenwriter Yan said, and the logistics team began to distribute lunch boxes.

According to Yan Manlin's long-standing rules, they will be given two hours for lunch, half an hour for eating, and the remaining hour and a half for rest.

She said that if you don't take a good rest at noon, you won't be in good condition for filming in the afternoon.

Finally, at this moment, the staff went to eat lunch. Meng Ran quickly removed his own makeup, and then walked over to help Tang Yue remove his makeup.

As for Zhong Xudong, he is doing better. There is a makeup artist on duty to help.

Yan Manlin controlled costs and only hired two senior makeup artists. For some scenes that were more complicated, they would ask their apprentices or assistants to come over and act as temporary workers.

Today, like most situations, Meng Ran didn't come over, so he simply came by himself to remove makeup.

Sometimes I even help Tang Yue.

She squinted her eyes and leaned back on the chair. She was almost asleep, and her breathing was almost inaudible.

Meng Ran was not tired, but her physical strength was stronger than Tang Yue's.

Remove people's makeup and then wake them up.

Tang Yue took a look at herself in the glasses, said thank you weakly, then stood up and gave her seat to Meng Ran, and she went to get the lunch box.

This is also the tacit understanding they have cultivated during this period.

Meng Ran helped Tang Yue remove her makeup, and Tang Yue brought her a lunch box.

Originally, according to the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, Tang Yue was the number one female, and she had a resume like "Searching for Immortals", so the makeup artist was closely following her.

But because the roles of the three of them are always scheduled to the end, there will often be a scene with only the three of them at noon or in the afternoon before the show ends in the evening.

It must be said here that in general, Yan Manlin will not put it at noon, afternoon or evening for big events.

Because it is difficult to coordinate.
