Chapter 70: Trust Your Judgment
The next day's play was very early, and Ming Dai got up at four o'clock in the morning.
Before dawn, she was already sitting in the dressing room, working as a makeup artist to put on makeup and comb her hair.
It's almost seven o'clock when I'm done cleaning up, and the real highlight of today is in the afternoon, and now the first scene that Ming Dai wants to shoot is her rivalry with other supporting actors, which is relatively not difficult.
Before waiting for filming to start, Mingdai sat in a folding chair and read the script.
The page has been marked by her with a red pen, and there are dense small characters written in the blank space, all of which are notes after her hard work, and some of them are explained by the acting teacher arranged for her by the company.
However, Ming Dai did not rely too much on the acting teacher, because Director Gao Yi said that he preferred Ming Dai's acting skills that relied on intuition, which was more in line with the role, and using things from textbooks would be too constrained and ingenious.
Ming Dai listened to Gao Dao's advice, but she didn't know what the results would be today.
Ming Dai was very serious and temporarily put aside the noise of the crew.
But some people don't have long eyes, so they have to come over and talk to her.
"The little girl is very serious."
The man's voice suddenly approached her.
Ming Dai frowned intuitively, as if something uncomfortable had stepped into her own territory.
greeted the comer, tried to identify the identity of the other party, and had to pretend to be polite:
"Hello senior."
"What is it called senior, call it brother."
「…… Huh?"
"I'm in the play, but your brother doesn't remember me?"
Ming Dai remembered that the actor in front of him was called Wang Youjie, the prince of the southwest played by Ming Dai, and the brother of the lord of Mingzhu played by Ming Dai.
The two of them basically only exist in the same frame in the early stage, and today's scene is their first rivalry.
But Ming Dai recognized him, not because of this drama, but because of a piece of news a few years later-
Actor Wang Youjie stepped on three boats, and his hidden wife couldn't bear to expose the conversations and recordings with him on the Internet, and the evidence was so hammered that it couldn't be hammered anymore, so that Wang Youjie was nailed to the scumbag pillar of shame, a complete social death, and disappeared from the entertainment industry.
The related news all exploded, and the whole network was eating melons at that time, and Mingdai was a member of the melon field.
It is estimated that this is the first time Wang Youjie became popular, and it is also the last time he became popular.
It is said that the most famous role in his acting career is the small supporting role in "A Generation of Emperors".
Mingdai sighed softly.
So why was she bumped into it so unfortunately?
"Hello, Brother Chen."
Ming Dai rejected the other party's ambiguous proposal and chose a decent title.
The Chen actor was not very satisfied, with a greasy smile on his face:
"I asked you to call me brother."
「……」
"Dai Dai, there's a call for you!"
Huang Yuanyuan didn't know where to get out, so he flexibly squeezed Wang Youjie away and stuffed the phone into Ming Dai's ear.
Mingdai's ears were quiet, but she reacted quickly, understood what Huang Yuanyuan meant, grabbed the phone decently, mumbled the two, and got up and walked away by the way.
The whole process was completed in one go, and even Ming Dai's acting skills revealed immediately were naturally without traces.
With the help of Huang Yuanyuan, Ming Dai successfully avoided the Chen actor.
Ming Dai walked some distance, as if there was still a sticky gaze lingering on her back, and her scalp tingled for a while.
She whispered, "How's it going?"
Huang Yuanyuan stole a glance: "Still looking at you...... Let's just go to Gao Dao's."
Ming Dai thought it was a good idea, and decisively turned around, only to feel that the sight behind her disappeared.
But thinking that she would have to play against this person later, Ming Dai suddenly fell silent.
Huang Yuanyuan was indignant: "If Sister Su is here, how dare such a little minion jump in front of you Dai Dai?"
Ming Dai is a newcomer, no matter what, it is not good to tear her face directly with people like Wang Youjie in the crew.
is also Wang Youjie's thick skin, when Ming Dai came to shoot last week, Director Gao's attitude, as well as the blue mountain standing behind her, all showed that she was not easy to mess with, and those who knew her a little bit were very polite to her.
It's a pity that there are always one or two self-righteous flies like Wang Youjie who love to take advantage of loopholes.
Huang Yuanyuan frowned bitterly: "What should I do now?"
Ming Dai seemed more calm than her: "Bear with it for the time being."
If she can't bear it, she has her own way.
Soon the two came to Gao Yi's side, and he was confirming the scope of the shooting with the director of photography for a while.
Seeing Ming Dai coming, he temporarily stopped what he was working and asked kindly:
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Huang Yuanyuan next to him was a little panicked.
Ming Dai said calmly: "After chatting with Director Gao yesterday, I went back to think about it, and I have some thoughts about this scene."
Gao Yi was curious: "Oh? Tell me about it?"
Ming Dai talked eloquently.
Gao Yi was laughing the whole time.
After listening, he didn't express any opinions, and nodded directly:
"Very well, just do what you want."
Ming Dai was surprised, she thought that Director Gao would give a word or two.
Gao Yi reassured her in turn:
"Trust your own judgment."
Mingdai nodded and left.
The director of photography, who happened to be standing next to listen to the whole process, was surprised:
"What's going on? Gao Dao, why are you so good-tempered?"
The director of photography and Gao Yi are old acquaintances, so they talk more casually.
At the same time, he knows his high righteousness, looks at his good temper and doesn't scold much, compared with many tyrants on the set, he is simply a living saint...... In fact, there is always his own stubbornness in the profession, which may be a common problem for creators.
That's why the director of photography was amazed by Gao Yi's tolerance of Ming Dai, so much so that he half-jokingly:
"I'm a little suspicious that the recent rumors in the crew that Daidai is your daughter."
"It's so idle. I respect the actors."
Gao Yi hugged his arms and did not get angry.
The director of photography was also observing his expression, and asked more:
"Then how are you so nice to a newcomer? I heard that this Ming Dai has never acted before, and she just signed a blue sign."
Gao Yi narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully:
"Because of love, my heart is heartfelt. None of you, including Mingdai herself, know what a huge amount of energy is contained in that little soul."
- Ming Dai still doesn't know Gao Dao's evaluation of herself.
After she finished communicating with Director Gao, she finished her confusion, and it was time to start filming.
The specific content of this scene is that the Southwest Mansion suffered a catastrophe, and the Southwest King, the father of the Pearl County Lord, was temporarily demoted to prison, and the entire palace was panicked, and even the prince was thinking about absconding, but he didn't even think about dealing with his father.
So the lord of Mingzhu stood up and clashed with his brother, showing for the first time a completely different side from the previous naivety.
When reading this scene, Ming Dai couldn't help but admire Gao Dao's vicious eyes.
Otherwise, how could Wang Youjie be chosen to play the selfish villain of Shizi?
Absolutely true colors!
