The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 144 seems to be too conservative.

Chapter 144 seems to be too conservative.

in the afternoon.

The cast and crew gathered on set.

Finally, it was Shen Jian's turn to appear.

Many people came to watch.

Perhaps it was because they saw Shen Jian training so intensely.

This led to higher expectations for a guest actor.

"Where's Shen Jianren?" Yin Tao was holding the script, preparing to explain the parts that would be added later, but no one came.

"Uh, they're still practicing, director," someone said.

"Still practicing?" Yin Tao exclaimed in astonishment. "Aren't you afraid of exhausting yourself? Go and get him over here right now!"

"Oh well."

The crew members ran out.

Yin Tao peered outside in disbelief.

I thought I should rest during lunch, whether it's just for show or I'm really putting in the effort, I should at least have some restraint.

To his surprise, Shen Jian was still practicing without any interruption or rest.

I've seen people work hard, but I've never seen anyone work this relentlessly.

Could it be that he really remembered what I said when we first met?

If that's the case—

Yin Tao felt a little wistful for some reason.

Although he himself works for capital, he has always been making idol dramas that have little substance.

But seeing good young actors go into this mess is ultimately unbearable.

If they could join a good industry or production team, such newcomers might actually shine.

Unfortunately, his own drama couldn't really highlight his talent.

Moreover, with such a large investment, investors naturally require a good rate of return.

Supporting characters shouldn't steal the spotlight from the main characters. If they do, it will affect the ratings, and even the sponsorships related to the male lead will have to be reduced.

This is something no one can bear.

In short, as a director, in today's capital-driven film and television environment, one's importance is actually less than that of an actor.

That's why it's often said that filming is a project, a business, while only acting is art.

Of course, adding a few minor scenes is not a problem.

"Director, Shen Jian is here."

Just then, the assistant brought Shen Jian over.

At this moment, Shen Jian's ancient costume was slightly disheveled.

But it gives people a comfortable feeling of a chivalrous swordsman.

This looks much better than when I first came out after getting my makeup done.

The clothes were new, and the hairstyle was meticulous, but it looked fake at first glance.

But after a day of training, Shen Jian seemed to have adapted to the look very well, and it looked quite natural.

The word "natural" is really important for the styling of a film or television drama.

Many handsome men and beautiful women have lost popularity because they look unnatural in period costumes.

It has nothing to do with looks; what matters is whether you can pull it off and how well it suits you.

"Hmm, quite good," Yin Tao praised.

"What's good about it?" Shen Jian looked at him. "Tell me in detail."

"Uh—like the natural sensation you're experiencing right now, and—"

He was halfway through his sentence when Yin Tao suddenly realized something.

No, I'm a director, why would I need to talk to you?

"Ahem, never mind, let's go over the script first."

"Okay, director."

"Here's the thing, I've seen you practice all day, and the martial arts instructor arranged the moves for you, which you executed quite well. So I'd like to add a few more shots of you, besides slightly increasing the difficulty of the action scenes, as for the dialogue—"

half an hour.

Shen Jian accepted Yin Tao's suggestion to add more scenes.

The action scenes are more difficult, but still within his capabilities.

After all, Shen Jian wasn't a true martial arts practitioner. Even if he had amazing physical abilities, he couldn't possibly master a move like a front somersault with a twist in a short time.

Therefore, the added actions are all fixed patterns that can be completed.

Because he had practiced all day, Shen Jian's hands were still warm, and he quickly learned how to do it.

There's no problem with the dialogue either.

It already has a talent tree of "eloquence and performance".

He can do stand-up comedy, and a few lines are no problem for him.

The film crew arrived quickly.

The broadcast began.

Then filming officially began.

"Click!"

"Great! Very good!"

Yin Tao looked at the broadcast screen and gave a thumbs-up to the person in front of him.

Shen Jian's scenes were almost all filmed in one take.

The action scenes were clean and beautiful, without any unnecessary dragging.

"I thought he'd be too tired to even use his sword, how come he can still be so flashy?"

"Are you sure this person was a streamer before, and not a stuntman?"

"Otherwise, they must have been involved in sports, their physical fitness is undeniably excellent."

"Wow, I thought he could only act in comedies. I feel like if this character had more screen time, it would definitely be a hit after the show airs."

"You don't understand, do you? Only when there are few scenes can you leave room for interpretation. Show the audience your most handsome few seconds and make them eager to see more."

"That's impressive. As expected of artists from a big company, they have such expertise in casting."

The crew members were talking about it.

Yin Tao and the others were at this moment conflicted and regretful.

If I had known she was such a good actress, I should have given her a supporting role with more screen time.

"Director, is this scene okay?"

Meng Ziyi took small steps to the side and sat down, leaning over to watch the broadcast video.

Inside, the process of her performance with Shen Jian and others was being repeated.

Yin Tao nodded: "Yes, it went straight through. You acted well."

Meng Ziyi smiled and covered her mouth: "Oh, thank you for the compliment, Director."

Yin Tao pointed to the stool: "Shen Jian, sit down."

"Okay." Shen Jian sat down next to Meng Ziyi.

This should be considered the first time I've officially acted alongside Meng Ziyi.

His identity was to protect them secretly, and then he intervened to intercept the villain.

At this moment, the camera angle in the broadcast video is misaligned.

Meng Ziyi was in front, and Shen Jian was behind, one in the light and one in the dark, which created a rather interesting scene.

If you only look at this part, someone who doesn't know the context might think they're a couple.

"Wow, so cool!" Meng Ziyi suddenly turned her head.

"It's alright."

"Hey, I'm just giving you a compliment, and you're already out of breath."

"You're beautiful too."

"You—you really are!" Meng Ziyi was suddenly praised, and she couldn't suppress the urge to smile, but she still pretended not to appreciate it: "I'd rather you say I acted well than you say I'm pretty!"

Shen Jian looked at the video: "You mean this scene?"

"Yes, that's right." Meng Ziyi's eyes were full of anticipation: "How about it?"

Yin Tao, who was listening to the conversation between the two, also turned slightly to the side, waiting for Shen Jian's evaluation of Meng Ziyi's performance.

"6

Shen Jian thought about it seriously and said, "I'm not as sharp as Director Yin Tao, but from a professional point of view, I think your hairstyle and sideburns could be thinned out a bit for this role, and the best lipstick shade would be number 6."

Meng Ziyi:

Yin Tao: "————"

The two people, who were full of expectations, were immediately rendered speechless.

It looked like a crow flew overhead.

He must be so bored he's practically begging for a critique.

Meng Ziyi rolled his eyes.

Yin Tao quickly coughed twice to ease the tension.

"Alright, alright, this scene went well. You two can rest now. We'll film your scene with the male lead later, and then we'll call it a day."

"Okay." Shen Jian got up and left.

Meng Ziyi quickly followed up: "Wait a minute! You better give me a proper compliment on my acting!"

"You acted well."

"No, you're not being sincere."

"What truly matters?"

"Like me—saying you're handsome."

"What?"

"You're handsome!"

"Thank you, O."

"Hey, you liar!"

Coming out of the film set.

Shen Jian removed her makeup and then prepared to go back.

I was just about to call a taxi.

Then I saw Yoshiki looking very excited!

"Shen Jian, haha."

"Boy or girl?"

'

'

"What's with that expression? Didn't you give birth?"

.

.

Liang Mu's face darkened: "Can't you speak like a human being?"

Seeing your flushed face, that's all I could think of.

"You son of a bitch—"

"Alright, alright, seriously, what's wrong with my sister-in-law?"

"What do you mean, 'What's wrong with your sister-in-law'? What does it have to do with your sister-in-law? Are you crazy?!"

"Uh————so?"

"A four million endorsement deal, and you, a newbie, managed to snag it again!"

"That was so satisfying?"

"yes!"

"Damn." Shen Jian frowned slightly. "Looks like we were being too conservative with our demands."
