When Mu Ye woke up, he only felt that his mouth was dry and his throat was swollen and sore.

Before his eyes could be fully opened, the cup of water was handed to his lips.

Mu Ye looked at it, and what caught his eyes were supple and smiling eyebrows, and there was a trace of worry hidden in those clear and dark eyes.

"It's honey water, Sister Ying said it can relieve hangover, you drink it quickly!" Chen Xiaobai said softly.

Mu Ye's heart warmed, he took the honey water, and drank it all, only then did he feel more comfortable.

"Xiaobai, what time is it?" Mu Ye looked out the window and asked in a hoarse voice.

Xiaobai looked at the time and said, "It's only half past four, you can sleep for a while!"

"Half past four, you haven't slept until now?" Mu Ye found that his clothes and pants had been changed, and his hands, feet and face seemed to be very refreshing.

"I'm not sleepy...... Go to sleep, your eyes are as red as rabbits!" Xiaobai said with a smile.

Mu Ye looked at Xiaobai in a daze, and after a while, he sighed lightly and said, "You fool......"

Xiaobai tilted his head, not very understanding Mu Ye's words.

"Come here, let's sleep together. Mu Ye gathered up his touched heart, spread his hands and smiled.

"Okay!" Xiao Bai replied softly.

Under the light, Xiaobai's beauty is fascinating and dizzying, and there is a soft charm in the shy and slightly timid expression, which is a bit flirtatious ~ people.

……

When I woke up the next day, it was already past eleven o'clock.

Mu Ye looked at Xiaobai who still didn't wake up because she slept too late, helped her cover her stomach, got up and washed!

After lunch, Mu Ye began to sort out the harvest of this time.

"Name: Muno, Gender: Male, Age: 18, Height: 183cm, Acting: 32.63, Singing: 15.14, Popularity: 160,000+/310,000+"

"Evaluation: E-level artist, not in the showbiz industry"

In the past ten days of shooting, Mu Ye's acting skills have also broken through from 28.86 to 32.63......

The increase of nearly four points has made Mu Ye more and more comfortable in acting, and many of the previous unfamiliar skills and methods have become more and more proficient.

This feeling is like putting on the oil, and the machine is easier to run after running-in.

In addition to the acting value, the popularity has also increased by more than 50,000 compared to before.

Because during the filming, Mu Ye put all his energy into the role of Han Cheng and did not spend too much time and energy learning new courses, so the available popularity value has also reached more than 160,000!

So

In addition, Mu Ye also found that his height had grown by another centimeter, to 1.83 meters.

Now this height is already quite good, but if it can increase by a few centimeters, Mu Ye will not mind.

In addition to the growth of attributes, Mu Ye's understanding of acting and acting skills has also become more and more profound!

Before filming, although Mu Ye was also working hard, he couldn't find the right direction, but after filming the whole short film, Mu Ye found a lot of problems with his performance.

As long as the problem can be found, it is not a problem for Mu Ye who has a system......

Mu Ye plans to use these days to check and fill in the gaps, and improve his acting skills as soon as possible!

……

On the other side, Xie Baoju and Xu Tao are also editing the soundtrack.

According to the original plan, the length of the short film was intended to be limited to 10 to 15 minutes.

But Mu Ye's performance was so wonderful that both of them were reluctant to cut it, and there were still twenty-three minutes left after putting it together.

The two looked at each other, but after all, Xie Baoju was ruthless, and while feeling pity, he cut out the clips that dragged the rhythm.

It took two days for the two to finally control the duration of "Man in the Box" to fifteen minutes.

With less redundancy, the rhythm of "Man in the Box" is tighter, and the ups and downs of emotions have become greater!

Even though they participated in the filming and production, they were still shocked when they watched the movie for the first time.

Especially the shot at the end when the camera gradually zooms up, and Mu Ye's figure is engulfed in darkness...... Their hearts trembled, and the desolation and despair instantly overwhelmed them!

After the editing was completed, Xie Baoju took the short film home for the old man to show as soon as possible.

In Xie Baoju's nervous mood of anticipation, the old man watched the whole short film with a blank face.

"Grandpa, what's the matter? I didn't embarrass our family, did I?" Xie Baoju asked with a hippie smile after watching the whole short film.

The old man glanced at Xie Baoju, took a sip of tea, and said casually: "So-so!"

The work he was proud of had received such an evaluation, and Xie Baoju was naturally a little unconvinced.

"Impossible...... This "Man in the Box" is better than most short films!" Xie Baoju said with courage.

The old man snorted coldly and said, "This short film is good...... But how many are your reasons?"

"I made this short film, I am the director!" Xie Baoju said unconvinced.

"The plot of the short film is shocking and amazing, Xiao Xu's script is well written, expressive, and appealing, this little guy plays well, if you change the script and try to change the actor?" said the old man in a flat voice.

"Then according to what you say, aren't all good movies like this, good scripts, good actors, so what do you need the director to do!" Xie Baoju hummed.

The old man sneered and said, "Hmph, according to your current ideological realm, it seems that the so-so evaluation is too high!"

"Grandpa, you!" Xie Baoju's face was uncertain, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful, and his face turned red.

The old man took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said: "Many times, a script that looks good and actors is a super bad work after it is made into a movie.

And a script that looks plain and unsurprising may not have much strength from the actors, but sometimes it can become a good work, do you know why?"

Xie Baoju frowned and did not answer.

The old man glanced at Xie Baoju and said gently: "The reason is very simple, the work is not equal to the script, it is not a paragraph of text, not a matter of a few sentences."

It includes the shooting of the shots, the performances of the actors, the improvisation of the scene, the post-editing, the soundtrack, ......

And these jobs ...... It's all controlled and manipulated by the director......"

Xie Baoju frowned, as if he had figured out something, but also seemed confused.

"One director is crucial to a work, and the same script shot by different directors can lead to two completely different works.

The same actor, under different directors, will also have different performances.

The artistic creation of the film is centered on the director, and it can be said that the director's performance concept and understanding of the role are often more important than the actors.

But what about your short film? What did you give to this film?

Do you have your thoughts and style in this short film?

In other words, if you are a graduate of the directing department, as long as you follow the knowledge learned in the textbook, he can do it to your level!

So...... What do you have to be proud of, huh?"

Xie Baoju was stunned for a moment, and the old man's words resounded in Xie Baoju's mind like thunder.

He originally thought that he had already graduated from school, but now it seems that he is still far away!

"I'm sorry, grandpa, I was wrong!" Xie Baoju lowered his head, not seeing the wisp of love and expectation in the old man's eyes.

"Well, let's go!" the old man returned to his previous flat posture.

Xie Baoju nodded and walked towards the door with some frustration.

"By the way, the little actor in the short film has really good acting skills, and you can contact him often!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Baoju's eyes, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
