During the day, Shen Xiuhan's outburst had left Big Mimi in a daze.
She had been famous for so many years, but no director had ever scolded her like this.
Yes, she was so angry that she ignored Shen Xiuhan for the entire night.
Of course, it was only for one night. The next morning, Big Mimi obediently brought breakfast to his door.
...
"Xiuhan, good morning, I made you breakfast.”
Looking at the pretty face smiling sweetly in front of him, Shen Xiuhan wiped his face with a wet handkerchief and nodded.""Come in!"
After tidying up, the two of them ate their breakfast.
"Mimi, I'm sorry for scolding you like that yesterday!" Shen Xiuhan suddenly apologized.”
In the past two months of filming, he had been under a lot of pressure and his temper had indeed been a little explosive. He had scolded Big Honey in public yesterday, and now that he thought about it after being angry, it was indeed a little too much.
Big Mimi lowered her head and stopped tearing the bread. She raised her head and said with a smile,"It's okay. You're filming in the desert with so many people. I can understand the pressure.”
As she spoke, Big Mimi changed the topic and extended her pretty face pitifully.
"Wuwu, Xiuhan, look, I've only been here for one night and my face is already allergic.”
Shen Xiuhan hesitated for a moment, but he still held her beautiful chin and turned her fair face left and right to take a look. There were indeed many red spots.
Rubbing the biggest red spot on her left cheek, Shen Xiuhan withdrew his hand and said lightly,""Allergies are inevitable. During the day, you have to be exposed to the sun and put on mud makeup on your face. If you don't want to suffer more, then stop doing bad takes and work harder to finish filming early.”
"If you continue to take bad takes, not to mention three months, half of your beautiful face will be ruined in three days.”
...
When Big Mimi heard this, she secretly complained in her heart.
She would rather die than become ugly.
And to be honest, she was already regretting it after only one day of filming in the desert.
The conditions in the desert were too harsh. Even her bathwater was strictly controlled to only last five minutes.
Five minutes. Usually, when she took a bath at home, she would soak in the beautiful flower petal bath or cow's milk bath for more than half an hour.
In addition, the desert could not grow vegetables or replenish vitamins, so the crew could only eat meat.
Yes, mutton and beef were cooked in one pot, and the smell was especially strong.
Not only did it taste bad, but it was also easy to gain weight. This big honey, who had strict requirements for her figure, thought about how she would be like this for the next three months…
Big Mimi couldn't imagine if she would become fat like a ball in three months.
Of course, although Big Mimi was a little regretful, she also knew that it was difficult to back down.
It was not easy for her to get a big production like " Operation Red Sea ", which was the main theme. This was her chance to turn the tables. If she quit now, not only would she be ridiculed by the entire Internet, but Shen Xiuhan would also look down on her.
Regardless of whether it was for her career or for Shen Xiuhan, she had to endure it no matter how much she couldn't take it.
...
"Xiuhan, sob, sob, teach me, I want to go through it all and not take a bad take.”
Looking at the woman who was pretending to cry in front of him, Shen Xiuhan thought to himself," You're my dear senior, and you actually want me, your junior, to teach you how to act.
Of course, criticism was criticism!
Whether it was as a director or as someone who had an ambiguous relationship with Big Mimi, Shen Xiuhan had the responsibility to teach Big Mimi well.
"Sit over here!"
Alright then. After Shen Xiuhan said that, Big Mimi immediately got up and sat in his arms.
Shen Xiuhan was speechless.
With one arm around the woman's waist, Shen Xiuhan gestured with the other."Xia Nan was devastated and in pain when she learned that her assistant had been executed. However, she had experienced the pain of her family being killed in the explosion, so she was strong and tenacious despite her grief.”
"In this state of mind, you will cry when you perform, but you have to control that degree.”
"The crying scenes in movies don't necessarily have to be like those in idol dramas. You don't have to have an exaggerated expression and cry as much as possible.”
"For example, yesterday, your crying scene was too dramatic. Your crying scene is simply a series of tears. It's over as soon as you cry.”
Hearing this, Big Mimi, who was sitting on his lap, blushed.
Although she didn't want to admit it, her performance was just as Shen Xiuhan had described.
He was happy with his performance and laughed.
Acting in pain, crying in a row was all that mattered.
...
"Movies are more about the mood. Simply put, it's about controlling your tears. You don't have to cry, but you must be able to make the audience feel the same.”
"To be specific, you can cry when you cry, but you have to wipe it off immediately to show Xia Nan's strength. However, you can add a little choking, choking, coughing, trembling, and other small actions to deepen the outburst of emotions.”
"You performed these little actions well. Even if Mimi doesn't shed a single tear, the audience can deeply understand the grief in your heart.”
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Big Mimi nodded coyly." I understand, but as for how to show it…"
Shen Xiuhan was speechless.
Shen Xiuhan patted the woman's shoulder and gestured for her to go and get his laptop.
With one hand on the woman who had sat back on his lap, Shen Xiuhan turned on his computer and searched for Zhou Dongyu's shoot from yesterday.
Pointing at the scene of Zhou Dongyu holding a rock and sacrificing himself in grief, Shen Xiuhan said lightly,""Don't feel embarrassed. Although Zhou Dongyu is younger than you, she's not bragging about her acting skills. She was trained by an old schemer. Her acting skills can crush you by ten streets.”
Big Mimi was a little dissatisfied, but she still snuggled into Shen Xiuhan's arms and watched obediently under his intense gaze.
...
"Ah! Ah!"
Dong Li's eyes were red as she wailed in a hoarse voice. Suddenly, she stepped forward and covered Shi Tou's bleeding neck with both hands.
Dong Li's eyes were red and her horns trembled."It's fine, Shi Tou, it's fine!"
As she spoke, Dong Li kept pressing her hands on Shi Tou's bleeding neck, but…
No matter how hard he pressed, he couldn't suppress the blood…
"Alright... It hurts!"
Dong Li's eyes turned red when she heard Shi Tou's voice. However, she did not cry. Instead, she frantically took out a candy from her purse with trembling hands.
But...
Her hands, which had never been soft when she held a knife or a gun on the battlefield, were shaking so hard that she couldn't even tear open a candy.
"You said that eating candy doesn't hurt…"
In the end, the candy in Dong Li's hand was not enough to feed Shi Tou before he breathed his last.
Dong Li tore the candy in her hand and finally broke down and cried, but…She was a strong female soldier. She bled but did not cry.
"Stone! It didn't hurt anymore…Let's go home!"
Under Zhou Dong's heart-wrenching cries, Shen Xiuhan pressed the pause button.
...
"How is it, Mimi? How do you feel?”
In the face of Shen Xiuhan's question, Big Honey paused for a moment and nodded reluctantly.""Zhou Dongyu's acting skills are indeed better than mine.”
As she spoke, Big Mimi pinched a small section of her pinky with her thumb and gestured at him unwillingly."Of course, just a little bit, a little bit!”
Shen Xiuhan didn't argue with her and instead raised his eyebrows.""How is it good?"
Big Mimi's pretty face blushed. I don't know!"
Shen Xiuhan was speechless.
Hugging Wen Xiang in his arms, Shen Xiuhan patiently said,"Actually, in terms of controlling facial expressions, you might not be inferior to Zhou Dongyu. However, Zhou Dongyu was outstanding in that she did not stick to her facial expressions. Just look at her two 'ah' sounds at the beginning. Her tone of grief was well controlled.”
"Look at the trembling of her horns. She's not crying like in idol dramas. Instead, she's trembling imperceptibly and enduring it. Although it wasn't exaggerated enough, wasn't it better than the so-called crying in your idol dramas?”
"Look at the small movements of her trembling hands when she tore the candy and the fact that she repeated the candies several times. When combined, does it immediately make the audience feel the grief of her sacrifice for her comrades?”
"Lastly, look at her crying scene. Although it doesn't have the burst of tears from 'My Young You', her forbearance is very good.”
"All of this, isn't it also helpful to your role as Xia Nan!”
Big Mimi was speechless.
Stop talking. I admit defeat, alright?
...
"Mimi, you have to know that the way of acting in television and movies is different.”
"When filming on television, the director usually doesn't do close-ups, so he will ask you actors to act even more exaggeratedly.”
"But filming is different. We film directors usually take close-up shots, and the camera is basically in front of the actors.”
"With such a close-up, we don't need to exaggerate the acting in our movies. Instead, we pay more attention to the details.”
"In terms of details, this is what you need to pay the most attention to and improve.”
"The difference between a movie performance and a TV performance is that when many TV actors come to film a movie, many viewers will be awkward when they see the TV actors in the movie.”
"It's also because of the difference in acting and filming methods that movie geeks rarely film television dramas. They're afraid that it will affect their acting habits.”
"It's just a domestic movie celebrity. If it were overseas, such as the movie celebrities from Simida and Zhongwu Road or Hollywood, they wouldn't be able to make a TV show in their lifetime.”
Hearing this, Big Mimi said rather unwillingly,""Xiuhan, you're too prejudiced against TV actors.”
"I'm not talking about prejudice," Shen Xiuhan shook his head lightly.”
After a pause, Shen Xiuhan said bluntly,"Let's take Empress Sun and Hu Ge, who have good reputations and acting skills, as examples.”
Putting aside Shen Xiuhan's identity as a movie director, he was now a genuine Best Actor. Although he was young, he was definitely qualified to comment on Empress Sun and Hu Ge.
...
"The actress Sun Niangniang, her acting skills are good enough, right? But back then, in the movie 'Painted Skin,' there were a bunch of movie stars such as Jia Zidan, Cheng Kun, and Young Master Zhou.”
Big Mimi recalled…
Alright, he nodded reluctantly.
"Also, actor Hu Ge has a good reputation and good acting skills, but why do his movies always fail?”
"That's because Hu Ge has been filming television dramas for more than ten years. His acting style is completely like a television drama.”
" For example, in his early works,'The Butterfly Sword',' After the Glorious Life', and 'The New Age of 1911', he didn't fit in with the other movie actors. In the recent' Climber 'that was released with Wu Jing, his performance was even more integrated into the movie than his, let alone Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, and International Zhang.”
Big Mimi nodded subconsciously and then suddenly said,""That... I haven't watched 'The Climber'!"
Shen Xiuhan was speechless.
Damn it, why couldn't this big honey catch the main point?
Shen Xiuhan was so angry that he could not help but raise his hand…
Big Mimi jumped up from his lap with her hands behind her back and screamed,""Shen Xiuhan, why did you hit me?!"
"You deserve a beating!"
