Chapter 709 Deliberately Looking for Trouble
If I had to describe what it felt like at this moment, Yang Qiong felt like she was back in junior high school.
I was lying on the table writing my homework as usual, but suddenly I saw the head teacher's face appearing on the window next to me, staring at me expressionlessly, as if I could break out in cold sweat from behind. It made him feel what it means to penetrate people.
Although he did nothing, yet being stared at...
Yang Qiong was a little distracted watching the replay just now, but fortunately, his back was to Murong Qiao, so the other party couldn't see his facial expressions and thoughts at this time.
The two of them were silent for a short while. When ten minutes were up, the crew started to get ready for filming again.
The staff who had finished their break also prepared their equipment, and the actors took their positions in the field waiting for Yang Qiong's order.
With Murong Qiao watching behind her, Yang Qiong couldn't relax. She immediately shouted "Start" with a hundred times more energy than usual, secretly praying that the actor's condition would be better in the next scene.
But everything never seems to go as smoothly as people think.
An actor who had just taken his seat mispronounced his lines less than a minute into filming.
Lan Qing bowed to Yang Qiong with some annoyance. "Sorry, sorry, I'm so nervous."
"It's okay." Yang Qiong, who was watching Murong Qiao from behind, couldn't speak now, so she could only say it was okay nervously, but she still felt unsure.
Nan Jin, who co-starred with Lan Qing, didn't speak the whole time. He just stood silently with his back to Yang Qiong, still maintaining his pretentiousness when filming, so that it would be easier for the next scene to start.
But when I tried for the second and third time, I still made mistakes frequently.
Either the lines were read without emotion, or the reactions of the two people were not quite what Yang Qiong wanted.
Seeing the eldest daughter of the Murong family as an investor standing behind him, Yang Qiong felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment. She even felt that the whole sky was dim. Will she lose her investment? Finally came the 15th "stuck" failed shoot.
Lan Qing was very considerate and put the blame on herself. "Maybe I'm not in a good state today and had a little cold this morning."
She spoke with sincerity, but only Nan Jin, who was standing very close to her, could see the pride and coldness revealed to her in the corner of Lan Qing's eyes.
She was making things difficult for herself, Nan Jin realized this.
He is no longer the newbie who just entered the entertainment industry. After staying in Qin Huai's crew for a while, Nan Jin also learned a lot of things, and it was not just the improvement of his acting skills.
Just for these dozen or so scenes, Nan Jin felt a little uncomfortable in the sun.
It was almost noon, and the sun was inevitably a bit fiercer. In addition, the angle of sunlight required for this scene could only fall on Nan Jin, so Lan Qing was not exposed to the sun at all.
After all the trouble, Nan Jin lost some makeup, but it was more due to the rising heat and the consideration of his willpower and body.
"It's okay." Nan Jin whispered.
He had no impression of Lan Qing and didn't understand why the other party treated him like this. He only knew that there was no need to conflict with others unless necessary.
At least that's the case for now.
Nan Jin, whose mind was full of scripts and emotional details, simply forgot about the incident in the morning when Lan Qing took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her but was rejected. She didn't even have much of an impression of this person.
Yang Qiong looked at these two people who were having difficulty getting along and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Taking advantage of the break, the makeup artist next to them also came over to touch up the makeup of the two of them.
Lan Qing had nothing to do standing in the shadows. She fanned herself very easily, looking quite relaxed and at ease.
"I'm sorry to let you see this scene today. The crew usually goes very smoothly." Yang Qiong felt angry at this moment, but she still showed a smile to Murong Qiao.
He was just thinking about how to take today's matter with Murong Qiao, when Lan Qing walked towards them at this moment.
"Hello, director," Lan Qing came over and called out. "I think I was in pretty good shape the two times just now, but I just don't know what went wrong..."
She deliberately said this in front of Yang Qiong.
Except for Yang Qiong who knew that Nan Jin was recommended by her old friend, everyone in the crew only thought that Nan Jin was an actor with no background and even the company was just mediocre.
Therefore, after being coldly rejected by the other party in the morning, and even feeling that the other party was deliberately ignoring her, Lan Qing had already decided the other party's outcome in her heart, and planned to let Nan Jin get out of the set today.
Lan Qing is considered to be one of the first-tier actors, so she speaks with confidence.
That means that since there is no problem with you, then the other person is the problem.
The staff standing next to Yang Qiong remained silent, but they had their own thoughts following what Lan Qing said. From time to time, their eyes drifted to Nan Jin, who was sitting on the other side of the venue and was still reading the script quietly.
It’s self-evident what it means.
Yang Qiong had a headache. "Let's get used to it later. If it doesn't work, just shoot something else first."
"Running in can't solve all the problems, director." Lan Qing made up her mind to let the other party leave, and followed her words closely.
She just couldn't get used to seeing Nan Jin and his indifferent attitude that didn't take her seriously at all, so she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with this person in her heart.
Yang Qiong said nothing.
Seeing that Yang Qiong was silent, Lan Qing added a few more words. "Acting can't just rely on acting skills, isn't image also one aspect?"
This time the second male lead was the kind of warm and comfortable senior, but Lan Qing subconsciously concluded that Nan Jin was just being cold to her, so she gave him a random excuse.
Her meaning was very obvious, and not only Yang Qiong, but also Murong Qiao, who stood aside and didn't know much about the crew, could tell that Lan Qing was not satisfied with the choice of the second male actor and wanted to persuade Yang Qiang to replace him.
But Murong Qiao also watched the performance just now. Even though the second male actor turned his back to her and didn't show his face, there was no problem in terms of the emotion of the lines and Yang Qiong's reaction.
Thinking of the purpose of his visit this time, Murong Qiao thought for a moment and then made a little sound.
"It's not a good habit to find fault with others." She told Lan Qing.
Hearing the second voice, Lan Qing subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and then met Murong Qiao's beautiful eyes.
Lan Qing couldn't help but feel jealous because of these eyes.
Probably because of her intuition as a girl, Lan Qing was able to realize that the person in front of her was far more beautiful than her even though Murong Qiao was wearing a hat and mask as a disguise.
And what the other party said just now was obviously directed at herself, so Lan Qing subconsciously smiled a little uncomfortable.
"After all, I have been acting for three years. In terms of qualifications, I should be considered his senior." Lan Qing explained softly to the unknown young lady. "I just thought he might not be a good fit for the role."
She obviously didn't say anything, but Murong Qiao felt that she was sarcastic towards him.
Talking about seniors and qualifications is like saying she doesn't know how to act.
Yang Qiong, who was standing aside, almost skipped a beat when she heard Lan Qing talking to Murong Qiao like this.
