She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1041 - 879: Super Star 53
Hua Yan waited until six o’clock, quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth, wearing a bare face without even applying water or lotion, because she would need to put on makeup there. It wasn’t necessary to do these things, so she washed her hair, let it down, wore a long down jacket, with a tracksuit underneath, and walked out like this.
She knocked on the opposite door, and someone came out covering his stomach, with a very poor complexion. Hua Yan saw him like that and found it funny, yet couldn’t laugh.
"Are you okay? Maybe you should stay here to rest. With that complexion, you won’t be able to shoot later!"
"Go, go, go, little brat, do you know how to talk? You’re asking a man if he’s okay, there’s a problem with that in itself. I am okay! I’m just dehydrated, already took medicine, need to eat something to replenish energy in a while."
Hua Yan wanted to support him, but he waved her hand away: "It’s not that exaggerated. You go ahead, I can manage myself."
After picking and choosing, they selected a porridge shop, a chain porridge shop, and chose warm millet porridge that was soothing to the stomach for him, ate vegetarian buns, and finally drank a bowl of soy milk. As they walked to the filming location, his complexion gradually improved, Hua Yan joked.
"Looks like you’ve recovered a bit. You really shouldn’t eat randomly anymore."
Some things are tasty indeed, but you can’t overthink them or savor them, otherwise, there’s nothing in the world you can actually eat.
The two entered a certain hotel which was the filming location and were directly dragged into the makeup room to start makeup.
Yesterday Liang An also said to get up at six and be there by seven. He had wanted them to come earlier, but Hua Yan’s condition was apparent!
So the two of them arrived at around six forty, quickly entered the makeup phase, and could basically start filming on time before eight.
Today’s scene is meeting the male lead’s parents. Liang An brought veteran actors for this, and it’s truly a privilege to act opposite them at this age.
So before makeup, the two of them went to greet the veteran actors in their makeup room, as it’s the minimum courtesy.
Veteran artists are different. Whether you’re famous or not, they’re very kind and friendly, unlike some popular stars who don’t see anyone in their eyes and always have their nostrils in the air. No matter how the drama is, as long as there’s professional ethics, the person’s character won’t be too bad.
Acting opposite one another calls for guidance and influence, which allows actors to quickly get into character. If the person acting with you hasn’t even memorized lines and stumbles through the scene, it’s definitely holding back progress. However, the industry still has such people, and some even read numbers, leaving it to post-dub, which is simply insulting to the acting profession.
Liang An is someone who seeks substance. As an investor himself, he naturally chooses people who are cost-effective and skilled. Popularity can bring good box office returns, but the risks involved are things you can’t avoid. Once someone has a scandal or explosive news, then your project is shelved sooner or later. So, choosing what kind of actors for a drama is also an investment. If luck goes well, it’s great for everyone; if not, it might get pulled off the shelves, and by then, you might not even recognize your own mom from the losses.
Hua Yan and Ling Yao are not part of this circle yet, their mindset is steady, just here for Liang An’s sake, and thinking of earning some pocket money, because their pay is really not high, only ten thousand each, essentially the pay for advanced extras in the acting field.
The less pressure there is, the more relaxed they are while acting, and it’s easy to get into the state. So, when they officially started filming, acting with the two veteran actors was definitely surprising for the counterparts. Initially, everyone knew these two were rookies, but in these times, what acting skills new ones have, they all know, especially if they’re not from a professional background, which calls for more time to hone.
Yet, no one expected that they would only NG three times for a scene and then pass directly, and these three times were caused by external factors, not the actors themselves. This made the two reflect deeply. Because these kids looked too young, especially the girl, whose acting left no trace and genuinely surprised others.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the boy is a top student from Huaqing, the girl, though still in high school, is from the Central Music Academy Affiliated High School. Being able to attend this school means a high chance she’ll follow an artistic path in the future. Though it’s not an acting specialty, the artistic pathway’s value is equally significant.
