599 A human being

Each clip was not long, only about one or two minutes. Jiang se finished watching all the NGS and finally played the part that she had just finished. After she finished watching it, Huo Zhiming asked, ”

“Do you see what’s wrong?”

Hearing this, mo Anqi lost her cool, ”

“I think they’re all fine. I don’t see anything wrong.”

It was the same way. The micro-expressions were good, and the picture was beautiful. There was no difference.

Huo Zhiming laughed coldly, ”

“Ignorant!”

After he said that, he looked at Jiang se.

“Do you see what’s wrong?”

Jiang se frowned and asked the cameraman to replay the last scene for her. In the shot, she had her hands in the pockets of her trench coat as she slowly walked over. She did not seem to fit in with the street. She was like a stranger who had suddenly barged into the scene, but she also appeared to be very relaxed.

At the end of the video, she was still facing the camera. When Jiang se watched it herself, she could see that wink of a smile being completely recorded by the camera.

The photographer was standing very close to her at that time, and he could even clearly capture the slight fatigue in her eyes.

She thought for a while and could roughly guess why Huo Zhiming asked her to shoot this scene repeatedly.

“Do you understand?”

Huo Zhiming was still asking her. He seemed to be very persistent about this answer.

“It’s because I’m tired.”

The scene that appeared in “a suspect” was to create an atmosphere so that the audience would be in Shen xuanran’s shoes and associate Su Yi with the label of ‘murderer’. However, they would not be able to find any evidence of this woman’s murder.

How could he make the connection? It depended on the skills of the actors.

The fact that a slit-throat corpse was found in the hotel and a woman appeared at the right time while walking down the street with a calm expression was already suspicious.

This woman looked relaxed and had a smile on her face. There was the excitement of killing someone, and also the relaxation of having taken revenge. However, under her clean and bright appearance, it should be difficult to hide her fatigue.

After all, to kill a person, she had to make careful arrangements. She might not have slept all night, or she might have spent a lot of energy to kill the person.

When these little details were linked together, it would have a great impact on the audience. It was far more convincing than spending extra lines to describe it for half a day.

On the other hand, Jiang se had to wake up early the night before. In order to get enough energy for the shoot, she went to bed early without even having dinner. Although she was ‘excited’ when she played the role of Su Yi, it also made her feel less exhausted.

Huo Zhiming made her walk around repeatedly, which made up for this point and allowed her to have both.

Physical fatigue couldn’t be faked. Body language and instincts couldn’t be displayed naturally by any actor, no matter how good their acting skills were. Only the truth could move the audience.

The fact that Jiang se could say this made Huo Zhiming see her in a different light. He turned to look at Jiang se with a satisfied expression.

“It’s already very good that you’ve noticed this,” “But that’s not all,” he praised. His tone was much gentler now. He had the staff rewound the video with a ‘ng’ for Jiang se to see.

“Pay attention to your footsteps.”

He pointed at the screen. Jiang se followed his finger and looked over. On the screen, she was walking very steadily in her stiletto, but her steps were enchanting and alluring.

The clip ended very quickly. Huo Zhiming then got someone to play the clip that Jiang se approved of.

“Look at this part, pay attention to your feet.”

With Huo Zhiming’s guidance, Jiang SE’s gaze fell on The Ground Beneath Her Feet. When she saw a scene, Huo Zhiming got someone to slow down the scene several times.

“Did you see that?”

Mo Anqi, Chen Shan, and the others shook their heads. Jiang se, however, understood what Huo Zhiming meant.

“I saw it.”

In the last clip, when Huo Zhiming deliberately slowed down the scene, she saw her foot lift up and subconsciously avoid a protruding stone brick on the street under her foot.

you did put some effort into the layout of this Street and hotel. Huo Zhiming saw that she had indeed noticed something different and was a little happy.

a smart woman who really planned to ‘kill’ and familiarized herself with the terrain in advance can’t convince the audience with just a few words, but in the details.

Instead of spending a lot of effort to convince the audience about how cautious ‘Su Yi’ was and how many times he had familiarized himself with the hotel’s terrain before ‘killing’, it was better to prove it with actual actions.

“When you want the audience to believe that you are ‘Su Yi’, you must first make me believe in this.” Jiang se walked the same number of times she had recaptured the street. The images that she had taken could not form an instinctive memory in her body, but she could definitely walk back and forth. Therefore, she subconsciously avoided the brick that could make her stop for a moment. Only such a natural action satisfied Huo Zhiming.

From this, one could see Huo Zhiming’s spirit of perfectness. He was so meticulous that Jiang se could not help but look up at him. This old man seemed as excited as a child because he was satisfied with the shooting.

He had reshowned so many times, and many of the crew members were frozen in the cold morning of Wang Zhou. Because of his persistence, they had to repeat it again and again, and many of the crew members were clearly dissatisfied.

Unfortunately, Huo Zhiming refused to explain why he had to do it again and again, causing many people to misunderstand him because of communication. In the end, his bad temper became even more famous than his works.

“Director Huo, you should’ve said it earlier, it would’ve been too early, right?”

When the surrounding staff heard this, they put their hands to their lips and blew a breath of air, half-jokingly and half-grumbling.

The staff member who had spoken earlier had thought that Huo Zhiming had a bad temper and was being stubborn. He was deliberately making things difficult for them. It was well-known in the industry that he did not get along with the staff and movie stars. However, during the filming, because Jiang se, who was the highest-ranking star, did not object and instead allowed him to do as he pleased, no one was able to voice out their grievances. It was a good opportunity for them to voice out their dissatisfaction.

Facing this accusation, Huo Zhiming snorted. what do you know? ”

As if he was reprimanding an insensible child, he tucked his hands into the sleeves of his down jacket.

some things are too deliberate after they are said, and they lose that little bit of truth. At this point, he sighed. The breath he exhaled turned into white mist and disappeared in the morning mist.

“People nowadays don’t pay attention to efficiency. Some things are too exquisite, but they have more craftsmanship and less spiritual energy. I just want the audience to see the real story and not deliberately sing it out to put on a show.”

When he spoke, there was a moment of loneliness in his expression. His whole person seemed to be shrouded in a heavy Twilight, and he seemed somewhat out of place in this fast-paced era. There were many things in his eyes that flashed past.

Jiang se was stunned for a moment. Before she could say anything, the old man, who had made her feel sorry for him a moment ago, put on a stern face the next moment. He turned into the familiar and unapproachable look that everyone had seen before.

“Alright, alright, you guys won’t understand even if I explain this. You’re all dismissed after filming. There are still other movies to film in the morning, so go and get ready!”

...

He turned back into the stern old man from before. The staff members who surrounded him scattered like birds and beasts. He stood up and looked down at Jiang se.

Jiang se seemed to be deep in thought. It was as if his words earlier had touched her. Huo Zhiming pursed his lips and revealed a smile. However, he quickly hid it and said with a dark expression, ”

historical

“Aren’t you going back to the restaurant? I’m telling you, if a big star thinks the set is cold, I won’t ask someone to turn on an electric heater to keep you warm. The movie’s budget is very tight, and you and Tao cen’s pay isn’t cheap!” He mumbled that it was best not to spend the extra money. Chen Shan was so angry that he stomped his feet and complained in a low voice that this old man was too stingy.

When ” criminal suspects ” started filming, everyone had a taste of Huo Zhiming’s personality. It was inevitable that some people would be unhappy behind his back. However, Jiang se displayed her exceptional professionalism on the first day of filming. In the face of Huo Zhiming’s strange temper, she carried out his orders meticulously.

Tao cen was also surprised.

The weather in Wang Zhou was extremely cold. However, as long as Tao cen had any scenes, she would always arrive at the set early, regardless of the weather. In terms of professionalism, she was on par with Jiang se. When the filming was taking a break, the staff would always see the two of them studying the script.

Putting aside the rumors of the two’s open and secret fights at other event venues, just based on their performance on set, the two’s current achievements were accumulated through little by little effort.

The intense tension from the few scenes where the two of them were acting opposite each other even affected the staff at the scene. The tense atmosphere made people hold their breaths. The confrontation between the police and the suspect was filmed to Huo Zhiming’s satisfaction due to Tao cen and Jiang SE’s ‘discordant rumors’.

Tao cen had been famous for a long time. It was naturally easy for her to interpret the role of Shen xunran. She could control her expression and tone of voice to the point that she did not feel any pressure when she acted.

With her status, if someone else played the role of ‘Su Yi’, they might be completely suppressed by Tao cen and would not dare to play the role freely.’ The suspect’, which Huo Zhiming had put a lot of effort into, might become famous because of Tao cen and attract investors. However, at the same time, it would lose the unique charm of ‘the suspect’ because of the loss of the supporting roles and eventually become Tao cen’s personal performance.

Tao cen had won, and Tao cen had lost.

...

However, with Jiang SE’s participation, this situation was broken.

Right now, Jiang se and Tao cen’s fame and status were on par. Moreover, the two of them had been competing against each other before this. This allowed Jiang se to face Tao cen without being overwhelmed by her fame or her imposing manner.

On the contrary, because of the special competitive relationship between the two, when they were in the film, they happened to match their identities as police and suspects. Their performances were on par with each other, often causing the staff on the scene to clench their fists instinctively and sweat out of nervousness after shooting a scene where the two appeared at the same time.

The scenes in Wang Zhou were all completed in early April, and the crew had to rush to the next location to shoot.

‘The suspect’ was already halfway through filming, and it might end earlier than the original estimate of the filming ending in June.

Up until now, the two female leads had performed amazingly. The script had not fallen apart, the director was serious and responsible, and the two main actors had given their best. One could imagine that ” suspect ” would become another memorable milestone in Tao cen and Jiang SE’s lives if this continued.

In the restaurant, Song Yi called Tao cen’s assistants to help him pack up his personal belongings. After the filming in Wang Zhou finished, the crew would be moving, so he looked a little excited.

we’ll be heading to Linjiang City next. The weather there is warm, so we don’t have to bring many winter clothes. Little min, pack them up and mail them back to the capital.

During his time in Wang Zhou, Song Yi felt like he had suffered a lot. He didn’t know how Tao cen had managed to endure it.

In addition to the cold weather, which was not much better than the imperial capital, the most important thing was that spring in Wang province was rainy. After a whole day, the whole person was in a very low mood.

In addition, the restaurant was newly opened and was extremely small. Many of the facilities weren’t perfect. Song Yi complained,”The room is so packed with luggage that people can’t even turn around when they come in.”

Most importantly, the security here was not very responsible. After Tao cen and Jiang se checked in, they attracted the attention of a large number of movie fans. Since the two of them checked in, many movie fans and reporters had come to the restaurant after hearing the news. This brought about a booming business for the restaurant. It also boosted the economy of the nearby restaurants and snacks.

A few shrewd shops next door had already started producing branded goods for Tao cen and Jiang se. Fans often went to buy them, but the supply was in short supply. Occasionally, they would even harass the celebrities in the restaurant.

Although Song Yi and his assistant were already doing their best to protect Tao cen, it was inevitable that they would be harassed by fans from time to time. This made Song Yi suffer unspeakably, and his complaints towards Huo Zhiming deepened.

In the past two months, Tao cen’s private photos had been taken more than the total number of photos he had taken in the past two years. All these things made it difficult for Song Yi to tolerate this place any longer.

He wanted to leave this place, and his face was full of joy. On the contrary, Tao cen held the manuscript with a calm expression, and one could not see any joy in him.

The assistants were in a heated discussion, but she was frowning. Song Yi said a few words and noticed that Tao cen had been holding the script for more than ten minutes but was still on the previous page.

The smile on his face froze. After sending the few assistants away, he asked, ”

“Sister Tao, you’re in a bad mood?”

“You think I look like I’m in a good mood?”

Tao cen threw the script in his hand, crossed his legs, and asked.

Song Yi was a bit puzzled.

the suspect ” was already halfway through filming. Jiang se was the Supporting Actress for Tao cen. The movie might become a box office legend again after it was released. Most of the scenes were shot in Tao cen. She was the well-deserved female lead. Even someone as picky as Huo Zhiming was not particularly dissatisfied with her performance. On the other hand, Jiang se was often criticized by Huo Zhiming on set.
