Chapter 254: Simple and Honest Tan Yue
The same set of shots was filmed five times in a row. It wasn't that the previous shots weren't filmed well, but it was Director Xiang Tian's habit.
No actor could replicate the previous content without any difference, so each take would have new things, and what Xiang Tian liked and cared about was this. Some actors would give him unexpected surprises many times.
But those who didn't understand him would feel that there was a problem with their own acting.
Tan Yue was one of them.
His first scene was filmed repeatedly several times at the director's request. He had experienced such experiences when he was a background actor before, but that was to cooperate with the lead actor, and it would only be repeated if the lead actor made a mistake.
Now that it was his turn to repeat it over and over again, he gradually felt hesitant in his heart, but he still tried his best to focus on the role and didn't delay his performance because of this.
Shen Li was also paying attention to Tan Yue's first scene behind the monitor. His first scene was a very life-like scene, which wasn't difficult for Tan Yue, who had lived in the countryside since he was a child. As long as he ignored the existence of the camera and treated the present as the state he was in when he was in his hometown, he could interpret it very easily.
"Cut!"
After the sixth take, Xiang Tian finally made a gesture to end.
Sui Yu on the side grabbed the words again: "Director, this newcomer is not bad, acting quite naturally."
Director Xiang Tian smiled, turned his head to look at Shen Li: "A-Li, Tan Yue is not bad. Although he hasn't been a lead actor, running bit parts still accumulated some experience, not like a green cucumber."
Hearing the director say this, Shen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If the director thinks it's good, then it's good. This theme background is always easier for him. He knows and can use those farm tools, but we have to get familiar with them slowly."
Tan Yue himself was drumming in his heart, and had no bottom at all, but he finally got such a role, so he certainly wanted to take this opportunity to learn more, even if he was scolded, it didn't matter.
So after hesitating for a long time, he still came to the front, intending to ask the director how his performance was.
As a result, just as he approached, Xiang Tian and Shen Li hadn't had time to speak, and it was Sui Yu who grabbed the words: "Tan Yue, acting quite well."
Tan Yue was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at the director. The director nodded: "The first two takes were still a bit stiff, but later it got better and better. Not bad, come on."
Hearing the director say this in person, Tan Yue smiled happily: "Really, Director? I thought it was because I didn't act well enough that I had to do it over and over again."
"This is Xiang Dao's habit, whether it's good or not, it has to be filmed many times, it has nothing to do with you, just relax later." Sui Yu explained for Xiang Tian.
Xiang Tian also nodded: "You just consider your own performance, whatever others say or do has nothing to do with your performance, your role, including me."
Tan Yue nodded in understanding, his heart somewhat uncontrollably excited, and then looked at Shen Li and grinned.
Shen Li was naturally happy for him, and gave him a thumbs up to encourage him.
Near noon, the crew's big pot rice was ready. Although the filming conditions were hard, the crew didn't skimp on the food. A big pot of braised pork, a big pot of stir-fried green vegetables, and a big pot of soup.
The ingredients were bought from the town by the crew's staff, and there was a professional cook specifically responsible for the crew's food.
"They have braised pork to eat."
On the RV, Shen Li looked at the exclusive customized healthy meal prepared for her by Sister Xiaoyun with a grievance.
A piece of sea salt pan-fried chicken breast, five broccoli, and some small tomatoes.
It was arranged quite beautifully, but there was no appetite.
She wanted to eat braised pork!
Sister Xiaoyun looked at her pitiful appearance and couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't it you who said you wanted to eat fat-reducing meals?"
It was said that for the role, she couldn't make herself fat, otherwise the character wouldn't stand up.
"I was just thinking about it." Shen Li said, obediently picking up the fork. That's right, this was a sacrifice that had to be made for the role. After she finished filming, she would go back and have a big meal.
Just at this moment, Tan Yue ran over with two bowls: "Teacher Shen Li!"
He came to the window of Shen Li's RV and handed one of the bowls over: "I saw you didn't go to get food, so I helped you get some braised pork. The master cooked it especially deliciously, and it was snatched up by everyone, and there's only this little bit left."
That bowl was brought over, and the fragrance went straight into her nose, making Shen Li subconsciously swallow her saliva.
Her gaze fell on the bowl Tan Yue was holding in his other hand. The white rice should have been poured with braised pork soup, but there was no meat.
"Why don't you eat it yourself?" Shen Li asked.
Tan Yue smiled embarrassedly: "I ate it, I ate all the meat first, it was so delicious."
The crew box lunch he ate when he was a background actor would have meat, but it certainly wouldn't have braised pork, so Tan Yue was very happy, and when he was happy, he ate all the meat first.
Seeing his simple and honest appearance, Shen Li couldn't help but smile. Although she really wanted to eat, she still felt that she couldn't let herself go. This kind of thing had a first time and a second time, and she couldn't let herself become a slave to food.
"I'm losing weight and don't eat this." Shen Li picked up her plate and showed it to Tan Yue: "I'll just eat this, you eat this meat."
"You aren't fat either, what are you losing weight for?"
"It's not for losing weight, it's just that I can't make myself fat, for this role."
A child bride trafficked to the deep mountains, usually even boiled eggs at home didn't have her share, so being thin was in line with the character image. Being fat certainly wouldn't work.
Saying this, Tan Yue understood: "So that's it, then okay, then I'll eat it."
Saying this, the two bowls were buckled together, and the meat was buckled onto his rice.
The thick oil and red sauce braised pork looked mouth-watering.
"Tan Yue, come up, let's eat together and chat." Shen Li greeted Tan Yue.
Sister Xiaoyun and A-Pan were also on the car, and the windows were open, so there was nothing to avoid about eating a meal together.
And Tan Yue was introduced by herself, and he wasn't familiar with others in the crew, so it was right for her to take care of him.
"Ah?" Tan Yue was shocked, and after the shock, he was a bit excited: "This, is it okay?"
No matter how kind Teacher Shen Li was to him, in his eyes, Teacher Shen Li was like a star. In his own heart, he didn't dare and felt he wasn't worthy of being too close to Teacher Shen Li.
"Eating a meal together, what's not okay?" Shen Li said: "It just so happens that I still want to ask you about some rural living habits. Although I've watched some related documentaries, I think asking you will definitely be more detailed."
Only then did Tan Yue nod hurriedly: "That's fine, Teacher, just ask whatever you want to know."
"You really don't call me Teacher, just call me Shen Li, I feel very awkward listening to it!" ===== CHAPTER 255 =====
