Chapter 42: Old Tian is Right

Today's filming can be summarized in four words: ups and downs.

When Yu Feihong shot the scenes after the order was adjusted, she was handy and performed completely above her level.

But after shooting these, it was inevitable to shoot the dining scene where she had NG-ed countless times before.

Everyone initially thought Yu Feihong had achieved enlightenment; she acted like drinking water and eating, without any difficulty. Some of the old crew members even remembered the Li Xiaoran of the past.

They couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

However, Yu Feihong refreshed everyone's cognition once again: it was NG after NG!

Cao Yang was stunned for a long time. Sister, what did you experience in your immersion? Did you enter a fake play?

In the end, unable to suppress his anger, Cao Yang started spraying directly.

"Yu Feihong, what's wrong with you? Can you be happy? Can't you be suppressedly excited, can't you even smile? You tell me, how much of everyone's time have you wasted? Smile, smile, is it that hard to smile? Who are you pouting and staring at!"

Actually, this shot really wasn't difficult. You just needed to push the plate; this was pushing it to the male lead behind the husband, and then have a look of irrepressible joy on your face, or even laugh out loud.

How simple.

But as long as Yu Feihong pushed the plate, she would have a bitter and deep look afterward, as if she had truly suffered a great grievance, gnashing her teeth, and just couldn't smile.

Yu Feihong also felt there was something wrong with her, a big problem.

As long as she saw Wu Qihua, her mind was filled with the scene of them slapping each other in her dream, and the fire in her heart couldn't be suppressed; she just wanted to hit someone.

So when shooting the plot of confronting Wu Qihua, she was quite immersed, and it was effortless to shoot, without any difficulty.

Yu Feihong hadn't said anything after being scolded, but someone stood up to speak for her.

"Director Cao, I think you're wrong. Sister Feihong can't smile, maybe she has unspeakable grievances. You shouldn't scold her either. As a director, you should care about why Sister Feihong is like this..."

Liu Ye was still rambling when he was interrupted by Assistant Director Li Mingyi.

"Liu Ye, shut up. The director is explaining the scene to Feihong. Why are you interrupting? Hurry over, let's go over the scene."

Then, Li Mingyi put his arm around Liu Ye's neck and dragged him away.

Li Mingyi didn't understand Liu Ye. He was really afraid that this guy was a hothead. Interrupting for no reason just now—what if Cao Yang scolded him for being meddlesome and he argued back with Cao Yang?

Then it would truly be a huge trouble.

How to handle it?

Fire him? Then they'd have to find a male lead again, which would greatly affect the filming progress—a pile of trouble.

Don't fire him? What about Cao Yang's director authority? How would he manage the crew in the future?

After Liu Ye was dragged away, the whole scene was terrifyingly quiet. No one dared to speak.

"She's immersed in the role, influenced by the plot, and really thinks of herself as the protector of women."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said this on purpose to resolve the awkwardness in front of them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a girl whisper: "Today, the lighting master made a joke with Che Xiao, and Liu Ye heard it. He almost fought with the lighting master."

Of course, it wasn't as simple as a joke.

The three of them, Dong Xuan, were all students. Although it wasn't their turn to act yet, they came to learn every day.

The cause of the incident was very simple: the lighting assistant told them a few dirty jokes, which was a very common thing in the crew.

Dong Xuan and the others were fine; they were students from Beijing Film Academy, so the crew staff only joked with them and told some dirty jokes to amuse them.

If it were other special actors or small supporting roles, let alone joking in private, there were many who would directly touch them.

Even so, basically no one dared to speak out. They had finally gotten a role, so how could they dare to offend the crew staff? At that time, Liu Ye was on the side, heard these dirty jokes, and directly scolded the lighting assistant for not respecting women, making the other party unable to step down.

The lighting assistant didn't say anything at the time; Liu Ye was the male lead, and he didn't dare to offend him easily.

Who knew Liu Ye wouldn't let it go, forcing him to apologize to Che Xiao and the others, which almost led to a physical conflict.

After Cao Yang learned the whole story in private, his head was big.

After the immersion experience, not one of them was normal.

Yu Feihong was fine. As long as she wasn't filming, she could laugh and talk with Wu Qihua without any problems.

But as soon as filming started, good heavens, it was like she had deep hatred for Wu Qihua; she couldn't squeeze out a smile at all.

I don't know what she experienced in her immersion.

Liu Ye was even more mysterious. He was deeply trapped in *Lan Yu* the day before and couldn't pull himself out. After the immersion experience, he pulled himself out of *Lan Yu* quite decisively.

It's just that the object of his immersion changed to *3-Iron*. He would subconsciously protect women in reality, becoming a "hothead" in the eyes of others.

Combining Li Xiaoran's situation, Cao Yang finally summarized a little bit of the rules.

!

Li Xiaoran was the most immersed, a bit unable to distinguish between inside and outside the play.

Liu Ye's immersion had a little influence on reality, not deep. This was actually easy to solve; he estimated that after resting for a month, he wouldn't be affected.

Yu Feihong's immersion experience didn't affect reality; it only had a little influence when filming, and not entirely.

The reason Li Xiaoran was so deeply immersed was that Cao Yang's own stunts were too powerful, almost causing her spirit to collapse. One immersion experience down, and she couldn't distinguish between inside and outside the play.

Liu Ye's situation should be that he was already immersed in *Lan Yu* before, and his spirit was very fragile, but not to the point of collapse.

Yu Feihong was a complete counter-example. It wouldn't work without some stunts. Look at Yu Feihong; I don't know where her immersion experience went; it was completely chaotic.

Summary: next time he adds an immersion experience, he must do some stunts, make the other party's spirit affected and produce fluctuations, but it can't be too deep, just a little better than Liu Ye's situation.

The problem now is, what to do about this counter-example, Yu Feihong?

Where she is god-tier, she is truly god-tier; where she is trash, she is truly trash.

Should he add another immersion experience to try?

Cao Yang couldn't help but feel tempted. Yu Feihong has spiritual fluctuations now, right?

Should be, right?

Well, looking at her reaction when filming, it should be.

Then should he try?

Try it!

Cao Yang convinced himself.

Old Tian leaned over mysteriously and whispered: "I analyzed it. There is only one possibility for Yu Feihong's situation."

"Hmm?"

Old Tian, what have you analyzed again?

"She's old, her understanding ability is not good, too stupid, not as good as Liu Ye, or maybe you explained the scenes too little, and she didn't fully understand."

"Ah?"

Old Tian, don't talk nonsense.

"With Yu Feihong's state, I guess it won't be shot today either. Wait until later to explain the scene to her again, just explain this part, and see the effect tomorrow."

"This... alright."

Cao Yang didn't know how to explain it. What is this? If he adds an immersion experience to Yu Feihong tonight, and she performs god-tier tomorrow...

Sigh, Old Tian, it's not that your younger brother intends to pit you...
