Chapter 15 Can’t catch the show
The camera switched, and Lin Shu, who had taken off his coat and trench coat, and was wearing only a black ascetic suit, was holding a riding crop and whipping the prop corpse in front of him like crazy.
"Uh! Phew~"
Lin Shu let out a long breath, held both ends of the riding crop with both hands, and turned around in front of the corpse. He felt the sweat secreted by his body due to the strenuous exercise. After calming down his breathing slightly, Lin Shu waited quietly for Wang Zhi
Next lines!
After waiting for about ten seconds, Lin Shu didn't hear the expected lines. He looked doubtfully in the direction where Wang Zhi was standing, only to see that the other party was looking at him helplessly, completely motionless on the spot.
.
"Cut!"
Lin Shu stopped the filming himself, and his voice sounded very abrupt in the entire studio. Looking around, Lin Shu found that everyone in the studio was looking at him like Wang Zhi, as if they were looking at some strange creature.
Lin Shu finally stopped at Wang Zhi. After receiving the questioning look, she finally realized that she was still filming.
"Director Lin, I'm sorry, I forgot the lyrics just now..."
"...Adjust the status, lighting, and photography preparations, and let's do it again!"
After hearing the instructions, everyone started busy as if they were just waking up from a dream. Lin Shu first ran to the camera to check the performance. After making sure that his stepping position and the camera feel were all right, he returned to the prop corpse.
, prepare to use the riding crop again.
Returning to acting, Lin Shu still performed this "action scene" perfectly, but after he finished whipping the corpse, the same problem appeared again.
"Director Lin, I'm sorry, I forgot to say my lines again..."
Wang Zhi said weakly. She didn't know what was going on with her. The lines that she had already known by heart just couldn't be said when it came to her mouth.
No, it should be said that after seeing Lin Shu's intense performance, she completely forgot her lyrics.
The two strenuous exercises made Lin Shu out of breath. He went back behind the monitor and watched the two people's positions and performances. There was still no problem.
Faced with this situation, Lin Shu didn't know what to do. He had no choice but to reshoot again, hoping that this would help Wang Zhi get back to acting form.
Forgot the words, NG, then NG again!
One after another, five more reshoots were taken. Including the previous two, Lin Shu had already filmed this intense whipping scene seven times. Even though he had good physical strength, he could not withstand such torture.
Lin Shu bent over and sat down in front of the monitor. His inner clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
Lin Shu's body also suffered from mild syncope due to the heavy physical exertion and high-intensity work.
He understood that he was experiencing a hypoglycemic reaction. In order to keep his body going, Lin Shu took the sugar water from the field attendant and poured it directly into his mouth.
The sweet sugar water went down his throat. Lin Shu reached out to the attendant and grabbed it, and the other party immediately handed him a wet towel.
Putting a towel on his face, Lin Shu leaned back on the director's chair with his head raised, thinking about what the problem was.
The staff on the set and other actors who were not filming all tacitly shut their mouths when they saw this scene. In the past two days, Lin Shu's professionalism and serious work attitude have completely conquered them.
In this work, at first they had the mentality of playing games with the "rich second generation", but as Lin Shu kept improving the camera, they also saw that this "rich second generation" really wanted to do something.
.
Especially when everyone saw Lin Shu's hard work, they all recognized the young director in their hearts. This unanimous silence reflected their respect for Lin Shu.
After more than ten seconds, Lin Shu took off the wet towel on his face, stood up and said: "Lighting, preparation for photography, let's take another shot..."
"I advise you to stop. You can't solve this problem today."
A lazy voice came from behind Lin Shu. When he turned around to check, he saw Zhu Yongteng appearing behind him at some point.
"Teacher Zhu, why are you here?"
Zhu Yongteng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Shu, then said with a smile: "You used my name to abduct my juniors and juniors. I'm not allowed to come and have a look?"
"Teacher Zhu, I'm serious. I just provided your junior fellow students with an acting opportunity. How could there be any kidnapping? But Teacher Zhu, you seem to have arrived a little early."
"I'm not going to argue with you about this. I'm just asking you if you want to know why the actress forgot her lyrics?"
As soon as Lin Shu heard this, he walked quickly to Zhu Yongteng and said seriously: "Please ask Teacher Zhu to clear up my doubts!"
Zhu Yongteng took two steps back slightly. The smell of sweat on Lin Shu's body was really strong at this moment. After pulling away, he raised his hand and fanned his nose before saying:
"When I entered the set just now, I watched your performance from a distance. When I watched it closer for the second time, I was even more convinced of the problem. The reason why she forgot to say her lines was still because of you and your acting skills.
That’s great, she can’t handle your drama at all!”
As the saying goes, Lin Shu is obsessed with the authorities. He is also a director and a starring actor, which inevitably leads to blind spots in his perspective on issues.
The people on the set are either behind-the-scenes workers who don’t understand acting, or they are all newcomers, and there are very few people who really understand acting.
Maybe Zhang Songwen would know a little bit, but he knew that he was a man of few words and did not dare to point out Lin Shu's "mistakes".
As an old man who has been filming movies for ten years, Zhu Yongteng is naturally quite good at acting. As the biggest star in the crew, he also has the confidence to correct Lin Shu's "mistakes".
After listening to Zhu Yongteng's words, Lin Shu finally understood the problem. He looked at Wang Zhi, who was aggrieved and about to cry, and knew that this scene could not be filmed today.
"Bang bang bang! That's it for today's work, thank you for your hard work!"
After Lin Shu announced that the work was over, everyone's tight ties relaxed.
Although it was Lin Shu and Wang Zhi who acted, the other people present were also under great psychological pressure because they were afraid that they would accidentally make a sound and disturb the two of them while filming.
Now that work is over, they can go back to the hotel and have a good rest.
Seeing the staff packing things, Lin Shu said gratefully to Zhu Yongteng: "Teacher Zhu, thank you for your advice!"
"Hey, don't come here. That's what I said. You have to figure out whether you can solve it yourself!"
Zhu Yongteng waved his hand to reject Lin Shu's thanks, then looked at Lin Shu and said mysteriously.
"I'd like to say something more, your acting skills are really good! Why don't you think about it and just switch to being an actor? This way, your handsome face can be used to its full potential!"
When Lin Shu heard this, he followed Zhu Yongteng's example and waved his hand in refusal: "Thank you for your approval, but I still like to be a director."
Zhu Yongteng was not embarrassed after being rejected, he just smiled and turned around and left the set!
……
The hotel booked by the crew was right next to the studio, and Lin Shu also arranged a room for himself in order to facilitate his work.
Since the beginning of the month, Lin Shu's sleep time has been seriously insufficient. Especially today's high-intensity shooting work, he was so tired that he just wanted to fall asleep.
However, his work did not allow him to do this. In order to relieve fatigue, Lin Shu took a shower first, and then made a work plan for tomorrow at his desk.
When Lin Shu was thinking about how to help Wang Zhi solve the problem of not being able to catch the play, three unhurried knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Lin Shu opened the door with doubts, and saw Wang Zhi standing behind the door wearing a white nightgown.
Chapter completed!
