Chapter 21 Start-up 2
Followed by.
Then the pantomime began.
Just then, the phone rang. Huang Min, sitting in the chair, looked somewhat perfunctory and impatient, his brows furrowed with a nonchalant indifference that suggested he had given up entirely.
"This is……"
Anniversary exclaimed in surprise.
As an actor, he naturally knows that top actors know how to erase their own traces with their bodies and breath, so that they can reach the level of "not acting, but being possessed by the character".
How could Huang Min possess such acting skills? When did his acting become so good...? Besides Zhou Nian and Zhou Hong watching, the crew members next to them were also watching. It wasn't until Huang Min demonstrated the first scene and composed himself that he smiled and said to Zhou Nian, "Just do it my way."
"you……"
Anniversary, who had never stuttered before, started to stutter a little.
Based on that performance just now, Zhou Nian dares to say that even the very top few people in the entertainment industry might not be able to control themselves as well as Huang Min, especially since he gets into character so quickly and gets out of character just as quickly.
"Hurry up!"
Huang Min reached out and patted Zhou Nian on the shoulder, urging him on with a smile.
Zhou Hong stared blankly at Huang Min. With acting skills like that... For a moment, Zhou Hong suddenly felt that Zhang Xiaohua might have really chosen the wrong side. That pledge of allegiance that forced Huang Min to his death might become the most foolish thing this woman ever did in her life.
For no other reason than that.
It's all because of the acting skills Huang Min just displayed.
He is now trapped and unable to act. Once he has the opportunity to act again, he will surely break through the cage that Lin Wan has built for him, as long as he has a suitable role.
"You acted so well, why don't you act it yourself?!"
Anniversary celebration, which was full of confidence not long ago, was completely stunned by Huang Min's acting skills. The more an actor you are, the more you understand the difficulty of that scene. It is not something that an ordinary actor can perform.
There is absolutely no trace of it.
Just like a marginalized anchor who chose to give up, Huang Min laughed and said, "My situation is special!" After Anniversary took his seat as the anchor, Huang Min sat in the chair in front of the monitor, picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted "action".
The script supervisor removed the clapperboard that read "Scene 1 of The Terror Live".
The camera zooms in.
The camera was aimed directly at the face of the male lead, Zhou Nian, who was wearing a tan V-neck knit sweater, a jacket, and sunglasses. He was wearing headphones and answering a call.
After realizing he couldn't hang up the phone in the live stream, he imitated Huang Min's performance by leaning back in his chair with an expression that was both helpless and extremely impatient. Then, upon hearing that the caller wanted to bomb the Hanmen Bridge, he couldn't help but laugh: "Uncle, this isn't the place for joke calls. If you keep doing this, we'll call the police."
"Yin Hua, I will definitely blow it up."
"Alright! Go ahead and blow it up, uncle! Show us, it can't be blown up!"
Zhou Nian took off his sunglasses and rubbed his brow in distress. Then he exhaled and put them back on. Huang Min didn't yell "Cut!" This was a gesture Zhou Nian designed himself, which was quite fitting for the character's current mood.
"I'm not lying, I really exploded."
"Then hurry up and light the firecrackers, we want to watch too! There's no time, hurry up and set them off!"
"You can't say that to me now. It seems you think I'm ridiculous. I've already told you I'm carrying a bomb."
To make Zhou Nian's reaction more realistic, the headphones he was wearing played the sound that Huang Min had specially commissioned the recording team to produce over the past few days. Just then... Huang Min shouted "Cut!" Zhou Nian seemed a little confused. Huang Min didn't look at him, but instead called over the head of the lighting team and pointed to Zhou Nian's expression on the monitor: "This level was a bit messy. His face has turned sallow. I need his skin to look as realistic as possible, and here..."
Huang Min rewound the camera a little: "When Teacher Zhou Nian was performing here, the platform behind him was lit up with lights, just like the lights shining from above a real live broadcast room, with square grids in the background."
"I'll go get it done right now."
The head of lighting didn't explain; he simply turned around and ordered his men to re-light the lights according to Huang Min's requirements.
After confirming that it wasn't his fault, Zhou Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, he wasn't worried.
It's normal for actors to have multiple takes, but after Huang Min personally demonstrated it once, he still had problems while acting it out... especially since it was the first scene. If he still has performance issues, then Zhou Nian should really consider retiring from the entertainment industry.
"When did you become such a good actor?!"
Zhou Nian sat in the chair next to Huang Min and asked curiously.
After his failed suicide attempt by hanging, it was as if he suddenly "realized" something.
Huang Min explained with a smile, "When I was filming before, I was worried about not acting well, so I was always tense. Even if I pretended to be relaxed in my expression, I was still very nervous inside. After waking up last time, I was able to completely let go, which made me feel more relaxed when acting now. As a result, I found that my acting skills improved a lot after I stopped having any mental burden."
"This effect is amazing!"
Upon hearing Huang Min's words, Zhou Hong subconsciously looked at her younger brother, Zhou Nian.
"Sis, no way!?"
Zhou Nian's expression froze, and he hurriedly said, "My acting skills are perfectly adequate now, there's no need to improve them further, especially since it involves suicide by hanging. Only he could use that method; if anyone else used it... no matter how good their acting was, they could only act in ghost movies."
"Look at you, so useless!"
Zhou Hong rolled her eyes at her younger brother.
She only thought about it; she wouldn't dare let her younger brother try it, and even if he did, it might not be effective.
When and how an actor in the entertainment industry achieves enlightenment ultimately depends on fate. Therefore, only Huang Min could use that method. If others used that method, they would probably just end up with another hanged ghost.
After the lighting crew was fixed, filming resumed for the first scene of "The Terror Live". In order to save on production costs, most of the roles in this film with an investment of more than five million yuan were played by staff members from various groups of the crew, except for the male lead, Zhou Nian.
As a result, the entire budget for this film was fixed.
Filming continued until 11 a.m., but the first scene was still not finished. Huang Min then told the crew to let them have lunch. After a one-and-a-half-hour break, filming resumed. Finally, around 3 p.m., the first scene was completed.
Noticing that there was someone else beside him, Huang Min turned his head and saw that it was Su Qing. Huang Min then turned his attention to the monitor. Su Qing watched the filming for a while and then began to observe the crew members.
She didn't know how well "The Terror Live" would ultimately fare.
She failed, and her employment relationship with Huang Min was almost over.
Once successful, Dongsheng Films will need to assemble its own filming crew. The people they are currently working with can all be considered for evaluation. The ultimate height a company can reach is like building a house; the key lies in how well the foundation is laid.
We don't want anyone who's good at getting things done.
Su Qing likes people who are capable.
At 7:30 p.m., after the crew wrapped up filming, Su Qing hesitated slightly before handing two photos to Huang Min: "These were taken by Zhang Zhen and Ma Dong yesterday."
Huang Min took it and glanced at it.
The photo shows his ex-wife, Lin Wan, wearing a long dress and standing next to a car, chatting and laughing with a man. Huang Min commented after seeing the photo: "These two photos don't prove anything."
As he spoke, Huang Min laughed: "But it's better than before. At least we've gone from having no cards to play to having a small five and a small six in our hands, which allows the two of them to keep an eye on us."
