This is called the class of poor students? This is the whole-hearted class! Chapter 544: The supporting role steals the limelight from the main character
Chapter 544: The supporting role steals the limelight from the main character
When Xu Jie was selecting future basketball talents in Fujian Province, Shen Manying had already joined the crew he was responsible for under the leadership of director Xiao Ce.
"What a fate."
Director Xiao Ce chuckled and said:
"If I remember correctly, the last time we met was on Labor Day, in the lobby on the first floor of the Jurassic-themed hotel in Dinosaur Park in Washington."
"I didn't expect you to join my crew now?"
"I heard that you are a relative of Mr. Xu's friend?"
"No wonder you didn't agree to my invitation."
Director Xiao Ce was very happy to see Shen Manying again.
He had never met Xu Jie, and Shen Manying was handed over to him by Xu Changqing.
Therefore, Zhu Xiaoce only knew that Shen Manying and Xu Changqing knew each other.
When he went to the Dinosaur Park to shoot a children's movie, he accidentally glanced at Shen Manying standing in the crowd.
The simple white puff-sleeved dress cannot hide the youthful atmosphere at all.
No beautification, no filters, no special effects, just pure natural beauty.
Slim, pure and sweet, full of aura.
With just one glance, director Xiao Ce remembered Shen Manying.
And he murmured to himself, "She looks like 17-year-old Zhao Ling'er."
Zhao Ling'er, 17, is understood by anyone who has watched "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
That was the role played by the fairy sister when she debuted.
No matter how she is now, the fairy sister back then was indeed full of fairy spirit and left a very deep impression on the audience.
Therefore, in the eyes of director Xiao Ce, Shen Manying is actually quite suitable to debut in a large-scale costume fairy tale drama.
"Director Xiaoce, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I hope I can stay with Director Xiao Ce during this period and learn more about filming."
Shen Manying was equally surprised when she saw Zhu Xiaoce.
In any case, director Zhu Xiaoce was the first director to send her a business card in her life.
When she was at the Dinosaur Park in the provincial capital, Shen Manying was far from her ideal because Zhu Xiaoce was filming a children's drama.
So at first she just said hello to Zhu Xiaoce politely, but she didn't really want to join the crew directed by Xiaoce.
After all, Shen Manying doesn't want to make her debut in children's dramas.
But when they met, it turned out to be another scene.
Zhu Xiaoce suddenly transformed into a director of youth idol dramas.
"Although you were brought here personally by Mr. Xu."
"Although I am very optimistic about you."
"But in the crew, I hope you can take it seriously."
Director Xiao Ce said with a serious face.
He is a young director, and an ideal young director who wants to make classic works.
His idols are world-class directors such as Spielberg, James Cameron, Akira Kurosawa, Nolan, etc.
Therefore, he has very strict requirements on himself and the crew.
Although in the domestic entertainment industry, it is difficult to realize his ideal.
But Zhu Xiaoce has been trying to find his own path.
If there is any director in China that he admires, it is probably Director Guo, who has made a lot of films.
After hearing what Director Xiao Ce said, Shen Manying nodded and said, "Director Xiao Ce, I will take every opportunity seriously."
She has had a dream to be an actress since she was a child.
The golden age of Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles has always been Shen Manying's dream.
Now that she has the opportunity to film, how could she miss it?
Seeing Shen Manying's serious look, Zhu Xiaoce nodded and said with a smile:
"Then let me first tell you about the drama we are filming."
"This is a youth campus idol drama."
"It mainly tells the story of the learning and growth of two pairs of male and female protagonists."
"The first heroine is lively, cheerful, popular, and has excellent academic performance."
"The second heroine's character is calm, generous and beautiful, but her grades are terrible."
"The character of the first male protagonist is sunny, warm and handsome, but his grades are terrible."
"The second male protagonist is a cold and arrogant little tsundere, and he is also a super academic."
"A girl and a girl are jealous of each other, but a boy and a boy are brothers."
"The whole drama is mainly about the entanglement, love and hatred between the four of them."
As the two of them walked towards the interior of the set, director Xiao Ce told Shen Manying the plot of the drama they were filming.
But the more Shen Manying listened, the more she rolled her eyes in her heart.
Does anyone still watch this bloody so-called youth campus idol drama?
The background of the story is also set in a high school.
How many serious high schools would allow students to fall in love openly?
Anyway, at least their Zhenhua Middle School doesn’t allow it!
At this time, Shen Manying remembered what Teacher Xu once said to her.
Teacher Xu seems to like and think highly of Director Xiao Ce, right?
Why would director Xiao Ce take over the filming of such a bad drama?
Shen Manying felt a little suspicious and a little confused in her heart.
At this time, I heard Director Xiao Ce say again:
"The script of this drama, the first heroine and the second heroine, were directly provided by the investors."
"So I can only arrange for you to play a supporting role in it."
"There is a scene we are going to shoot today, and there happens to be a classmate of theirs in it."
"Originally, I planned to choose one from the extras. Now that you are here, you will play the supporting role."
Shen Manying is very happy to be able to play a supporting role as soon as she comes.
She immediately said with a smile:
"Director Xiao Ce, I will work hard!"
…
At around ten o'clock in the morning, filming was taking place in a classroom of the crew.
"Attention all units."
"Walk!"
Following Director Xiaoce's order, the lighting, photography and other staff in the small classroom began to get busy.
This is a scene where the first heroine and the second heroine conflict.
In the classroom, three or five girls were chatting together, including the heroine Yi and Shen Manying.
The content of the gossip is about the male protagonist.
When everyone was chatting enthusiastically, the second heroine came on the stage and told them that she was the rumored girlfriend of the first hero in the gossip.
As for the heroine Yi, she has always liked the male protagonist Yi.
At this point, conflict broke out.
Shen Manying's role in this conflict is to mediate between the two sides.
Her original character was that she had good grades but average appearance, and had some friendship with both the first and second heroines.
But as the filming progressed.
The entire crew discovered an extremely weird scene.
Shen Manying, who is extremely good-looking, has a good time between the two.
On the contrary, she looks more like the heroine of this scene.
Line skills, facial expressions, emotional control...
Shen Manying's outstanding performance made Director Xiao Ce and others stunned for a moment.
In the end, not only outsiders like them noticed something strange.
Even the first and second heroines in this drama noticed something was wrong.
That’s not right!
Who is the heroine and who is the supporting role?
"Click!"
The one who shouted this "click" was not director Xiao Ce.
