Chapter 182: Act I, Filming Begins
Han Ning had already put on her makeup, wearing suspender casual clothes, with a tired and look on her face, Sika was in front of the mirror, she walked over, followed Sika, and looked at the mirror to pass the lines.
The content of this scene is very simple, it is said that Qianxue is about to go to the interview, and she is practicing her speech skills in front of the mirror, and Takeri squatted on the table and quietly accompanied her.
"Put the props in place, are the rooms all set up?"
Due to the small number of crew members, Director Zhou wears many hats, busy in and out, everyone is silently hurrying to work, and the audience only has his shouting.
Director Zhou looked at the time, turned around and shouted in the direction of the makeup team: "Han Ning, get ready, filming will start at two o'clock." ”
"Well, it's ready. ”
Han Ning replied, touched Sika in front of the mirror, and said with a smile: "Sika, wait a while, you are like now, just sit in front of the mirror obediently, don't run around, let's fight for it once." ”
"Meow. ”
Sika agreed, and continued to look at her old self in the mirror.
If it weren't for the promotion of the civet, six or seven years later, when I graduated from college in seven or seven years and was ready to look for a job, I would probably be like this.
At 1:50, Han Ning came to the shooting site with Sika in her arms.
This is an indoor field, the props team moved very quickly, and soon the environment of the bathroom was set up, and the cameras were ready, this scene was Han Ning's solo performance in addition to Sika, whether it could be passed at one time depends on the cooperation of Han Ning and Sika.
"It's all ready, let's get in, come and play the board!"
""You Under the Stars" Act I, Scene I, Begin!"
The camera has been turned on, and the scene reporter is holding the clapperboard to the camera, and after shouting, it is announced that "You Under the Stars" has officially started filming.
......
"Alas......"
Qianxue hung up the phone call from her mother to greet her, and sat weakly in the computer chair, staring blankly at the computer screen.
Takesato fell asleep at her feet, and when she heard her sigh, she opened her eyes and meowed softly.
The computer screen showed a recruitment website, and she had submitted a lot of resumes, but it seemed like a stone was lost, and she did not reply, or waited for a polite rejection letter.
Qianxue copied the addresses of the four companies she was going to interview tomorrow in a small notebook, closed the computer, got up and got a towel to get ready to wash.
She walked into the bathroom a little blankly and quietly looked at herself in the mirror, the bath water was already boiling, but she didn't move.
Takeri followed her, looked at the bathroom door, and walked in as well.
"Meow. ”
Takeri screamed softly, it was already very old, and its voice was no longer as clear as before.
It wanted to jump on the washstand, which used to be a breeze for it, but now it couldn't jump up, and twisted its ass on the ground, never jumping.
"Takeri. ”
Qianxue squatted down, touched it, picked it up, and put it on the sink.
Takeri quietly looked at her in the mirror.
At this time, Qianxue cleared her throat, put a professional smile on her face, and started her interview drill in front of the mirror.
"Hello examiner, I am honored to come to your company for an interview, my name is Qianxue, I am twenty-two years old this year, I am studying international economics and trade, I am very eager to engage in foreign trade, although I am inexperienced, but I am very hard-working, I hope to apply for your company's foreign trade officer......"
"I have been fond of animals since I was a child, I usually like to browse the news and read books on the Internet, I have been paying attention to your company's magazine columns for a long time, and have been yearning to work in your company, so I came to apply for the copywriting planning ...... of your company's pet weekly."
"When I was in college, I served as the director of the campus radio station, and I was quite experienced in personnel management and organization and coordination, and I wanted to apply for the personnel assistant of your company......
"I ...... Alas......"
Qianxue's voice became smaller and quieter, and the more she spoke, the less confident she became, she sent out a lot of resumes, and also went to interview many companies, but there were almost no follow-ups, and there were four interviews tomorrow, and the pressure was like a mountain, which made her a little breathless.
She is just an ordinary college student, her major is not popular, and she has no experience in the industry, so it is extremely difficult to find a job in the current environment.
Takeri didn't make a sound, and when Qianxue practiced in front of the mirror, it watched intently, looking at her in the mirror for a while, and looking up at her in reality for a while.
Just like when she was young, the bamboo stretched out her little paws and touched her in the mirror, and her big tail wagged and wagged.
It can feel the anguish in Qianxue's heart, even if it is no longer young, it still wants to make Qianxue happy in this way.
Qianxue looked at Takeri touching herself in the mirror, she smiled, hugged Takeri over, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Takeri, I'm too bad......"
Takeri looked into her eyes, as if he could feel her mood.
"Meow. ”
......
"Click! It's great! Let's go get ready for the next one. ”
Director Zhou looked at the surveillance, his face was full of satisfaction, the filming of the first act went so smoothly, it was a little unexpected for him.
Han Ning's performance is as stable as ever, with solid line skills, whether it is tone, intonation, small movements or facial micro-expressions, for a newcomer, there is no way to be more picky.
What surprised him the most was Sika's performance, originally he thought that Sika could sit obediently in front of the mirror, but he didn't expect it to be so spiritual, as if he could feel the emotions of 'Qianxue', looking into her eyes, looking at her in the mirror, and stretching out his little paws to touch her.
Everything seems to go naturally, it seems real but warm, it is not explicitly stated in the camera, but the discerning audience can naturally see that the old bamboo is comforting her and amusing her.
The effect of this scene was unexpected, and Director Zhou's confidence increased greatly, and sure enough, Sika was the most correct choice.
Watching Sika's Douyin video before, Director Zhou didn't feel much about it, but until now, he really felt that this cat was really human, and this was a treasure.
This scene passed directly once, and Han Ning was also relieved, she picked up Sika and sat on the chair to rest for a while.
"Sika, you've done a great job this one. ”
Han Ning touched Sika's head, and then took out a few from the cat food on the side and fed them to Sika.
In the scene just now, Han Ning was still a little worried that Sika would suddenly jump away, but she didn't expect Sika to be deeper than her in the play, and after looking at it several times, Han Ning was actually brought into the state by Sika.
Sika was lying on her lap, eating cat food with her mouth open, although it had never acted, but with a little cooperation, the effect was excellent.
The makeup artist came over to briefly touch up Han Ning's makeup, and Sika didn't need to touch up her makeup anymore, she was now an old cat.
The props team moved very quickly, changed the room, and after a little arrangement, the black curtain was closed, and the faint lights were on, and the environment came out late at night.
"Han Ning, rest well, bring Sika over, the second scene is ready to start filming!"
Hearing this, Han Ning hurriedly packed up her mood, recalled the script of this scene in her mind, and went to the set with Sika in her arms.
In this scene, Qianxue left her mother to live outside, and her original boyfriend was about to leave the city after graduation, and the two had no choice but to break up, and her friend Matsutsuki, who shared a house, found a job and moved out of the shared house, and she repeatedly failed to find a job on her own......
The rent and emotional pressure overwhelmed Qianxue.
This is a difficult time, and it tests Han Ning's emotional control ability.
"Are you ready? Let's get in, the field notes, the board!"
After Han Ning lay down on the bed with Sika in his arms and adjusted his position, the scene reporter pointed at the camera and played the board again: "The first act of "You Under the Stars", the second scene, start!"
......
In the dark night, in the dim room, Qianxue did not turn on the light, the computer next to the bed was still on, and on the page of the mailbox, a letter was opened.
"Thank you very much Miss Qianxue for coming to the company for an interview, after our comprehensive consideration, our position may not be suitable for Miss Qianxue, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, and wish Miss Qianxue a satisfactory job as soon as possible." ”
Once again, Chiyuki failed.
She lay limply on the bed, the room dim, just like her mood, and she didn't seem to see a little light.
Qianxue's hair was a little messy, her eyes were looking at the ceiling with empty eyes, and her hands seemed to have no strength to lift up.
Takeri curled up beside her pillow, quietly accompanying her.
Takeri didn't fall asleep either, it felt the pain of Qianxue, but there was nothing it could do.
The phone next to the pillow lights up and a message pops up.
Qianxue didn't even have the strength to turn over, she slowly stretched out her hand, touched the phone, and then slowly turned sideways, like a wounded child, curled up, opened the phone to check the message.
The message was sent by a good friend Matsutsuki.
"Qianxue, how was today's interview?
There was not the slightest expression on her face, the light of her phone shone on her face, and she looked like a wooden man.
"Failed, they all wanted to find someone with experience. ”
"It's okay, Chiyuki, I'll find a satisfying job, so, come on!!"
Qianxue looked at this message for a long time, did not reply again, and put her phone aside.
"I've worked hard......"
In the dark night, alone in this empty room, her emotions were a little difficult to contain, she put her arm to her forehead, and two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.
"Meow. ”
Zhuli, who was originally lying on his stomach, looked up at her at this moment, looked at her quietly, and then walked over and lay down next to Qianxue.
Qianxue still had a few messy hairs stuck to her face, and she turned over, gently hugged Takeri, and hid her head behind it.
"Takeri, I'm getting more and more confused now, what should I do......"
She cried softly, as if she were talking to Takesato, and as if talking to herself.
Takeri watched Chiyuki quietly in the dim darkness of the night, and through her somewhat cold palm, Takezato could feel her pain, but it couldn't do anything for her.
"Meow ......"
It kissed her hand gently.
......
"Click! Han Ning, you take Sika to rest first, props group, hurry up and prepare for the next one!"
It's another time, Director Zhou is about to jump up with satisfaction, he really likes Han Ning and Sika's performance.
Confused about the future in the dark night, crying helplessly, Han Ning's performance was extremely moving.
This feeling is like she is acting in her true colors, who has not been lost in the dark night when she is wandering outside?
Seeing Qianxue crying, let alone Takeri, even the surrounding staff felt distressed.
As for Sika's performance, not to mention, everyone present knew very well that Sika was untrained and was pulled straight onto the pitch.
It can make such comforting actions after feeling Han Ning's emotions, this is spirituality.
Spirituality is a very mysterious thing, and in the eyes of the director, there are two levels of actors with spirituality and actors without spirituality.
If there is no spiritual performance, it is really just a performance, an imitation.
There is a spiritual performance, which gives people the feeling that this character has walked from the play to your eyes.
After the filming of this scene, the staff of the props team quickly removed the black curtain, and the dim room immediately lit up.
Sika's old state was swept away, and with a slight leap, it landed on the windowsill.
It's still sunny outside......
