Zhengqiao rushed in from the door. “Bi Yuewu!”
Jiang Xun turned around with a murderous look in her eyes.
“Plop!”
Zhengqiao fell to the ground again.
Everyone: “…”
Deng Xu: “…”
“Teacher Huang, are you not ready this time?” Deng Xu was a little annoyed. Even if all he had to do is come in and shout, he couldn’t even do it.
He even asked Jiang Xun to act well and not have too many NGs?
Mind your own business first!
Zhengqiao’s face turned red. Last time, he said that he was not mentally prepared.
This time, he was prepared but still fell. This excuse could not be justified.
It was really embarrassing.
Zhengqiao blushed and muttered, “Jiang… Jiang Xun’s acting is much better than I thought.”
The killing intent in Jiang Xun’s eyes was as if she had charged out from the midst of thousands of soldiers.
Zhengqiao had acted as a policeman in one of his movies and faced a perverted killer. The actor who acted as a perverted killer was an experienced actor and his acting skills were especially strong.
However, the killing intent in his eyes was not as strong and realistic as Jiang Xun’s.
It was as if Jiang Xun… had really killed someone.
Zhengqiao shuddered when this thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Deng Xu threw down the loudspeaker and ran over. He still gave Zhengqiao face, and he whispered to him, “Teacher Huang, Jiang Xun’s acting is really good. Don’t think that just because she’s a newbie that you don’t need to use all your strength to act with her. You can easily handle her. You have to use your full strength and act well.”
“Okay…” Zhengqiao thought that he had indeed acted well, but he just couldn’t handle it!
Jiang Xun’s gaze was too scary.
Deng Xu sighed and said, “This scene isn’t difficult. Let’s hurry up and get it over with. The next scene with Jiang Xun is the most important.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Zhengqiao nodded.
He wasn’t thinking about pressuring Jiang Xun anymore. He had to stand firmly and not fall down.
After falling down twice in a row, Zhengqiao was traumatized.
When the third scene began, Zhengqiao had been hinting to himself, “Don’t fall down, don’t fall down, don’t fall down…”
As he rushed into the house, he kept reminding himself in his heart.
As he rushed through the door, Zhengqiao shouted, “Bi Yuewu!”
This time, Jiang Xun turned around. Zhengqiao did not fall down.
But he stood stiffly and did not move.
Zhengqiao focused all his attention on telling himself not to fall down again and not to embarrass himself.
Therefore, he forgot to say his lines.
After shouting “Bi Yuewu,” he stood stiffly and did not move.
“Cut!” Deng Xu shouted angrily. He threw down the megaphone and ran over again.
“Teacher Huang, what’s the reason this time?” Deng Xu was furious. “You didn’t fall this time. Why didn’t you continue?”
“I…” Zhengqiao stammered.
“We can’t waste any more time. There are still many scenes to shoot,” Deng Xu urged impatiently. “What’s the reason this time?”
“Director, the killing intent in Jiang Xun’s eyes is too strong. I’m under a bit of pressure and can’t say my lines…” Zhengqiao said in a low voice.
Deng Xu: “…”
“What is this!” Deng Xu was extremely depressed. “It’s rare for someone to have such good acting skills like Jiang Xun. In the end, it’s because her acting skills are too good that you can’t handle it?”
Zhengqiao continuously took bad takes. Deng Xu couldn’t be bothered to give him any face.
He was the one who had lost face, and everyone present had seen it.
Deng Xu had no choice but to call Jiang Xun over. He said helplessly, “Jiang Xun, why don’t you control your gaze a little?”
“How much?” Jiang Xun asked humbly. “How much can Teacher Huang handle?”
Zhengqiao: “…”
His face was hurting right now, and it was very painful.
“I’ll take 20% off.” Deng Xu Thought for a moment and asked Zhengqiao, “Can you handle 80%?”
“Sure!” Zhengqiao said with a red face.
Even if he couldn’t make it, he had to.
“Good, let’s fight for the last scene!” Deng Xu shook his head as he walked back.
He didn’t expect to shoot such a simple scene so many times.
The fourth take began.
Zhengqiao rushed over. Jiang Xun turned around when he heard him shouting.
“Or… Should I call you Jiang Mingyue?” Zhengqiao said.
“Stop!” Deng Xu got up in a hurry, and the chair was pushed down. “Stop, stop, stop, stop!”
“Teacher Huang!” Deng Xu said with a dark face, “The role you play is the male lead who is full of righteousness! When you face Bi Yuewu, you should be angry, disappointed, and disgusted and have all kinds of emotions. Was there anger in your emotions just now? Was there disappointment? Was there disgust? I only heard fear! You are the male lead! Why are you afraid of a villain who will soon die under your sword? The character of the male lead is upright and upright, vowing to kill the villain. You have been chasing her all this time and finally caught her in the act. You can’t be afraid!”
Zhengqiao could not raise his head because of Deng Xu’s words. Finally, he hummed.
“What did you say?” Deng Xu leaned his ear closer. He really didn’t hear it clearly. Zhengqiao was humming too softly.
“Can you make Jiang Xun’s eyes narrow again?” Zhengqiao said with a red face.
Although the killing intent in Jiang Xun’s eyes had been somewhat restrained, allowing him to stand up and say his lines, in the face of Jiang Xun’s gaze at that moment, Zhengqiao, out of his survival instinct, only wanted to retreat.
It was his greatest courage not to beg for mercy.
Deng Xu: “…”
When Jiang Xun heard that, he said, “Then we’ll reduce it to 50%. Keeping at least half is my bottom line. Director, if I hold back any further, the scene won’t look good.”
“Who says so!” Deng Xu slapped his thigh gloomily and said in front of Zhengqiao, “Originally, based on your acting skills, if Teacher Huang could handle it, this scene would definitely be a godlike scene. It would be very helpful to the texture of the entire scene. Moreover, your acting skills are clearly good, but because he can’t catch the scene, you have to lower your acting skills. This is a very unfair thing for you. When the show is broadcast for the audience to see, the audience will think that your acting skills are just like that. It’s a waste!”
Zhengqiao did not dare to say a word. It was not that he did not have a temper, but it was because he did not have any face!
He had been full of confidence that Jiang Xun, who had never acted before, would be repeatedly take NGs.
In the end, he could not get past his NGs. Instead, he let a person who had never acted lower her acting skills for him.
How could he not be unhappy now?
Jiang Xun was also extremely upset.
She had expected that when the netizens found out that she, an influencer, had suddenly come to act, even if she was just a random female character, they would definitely scold her.
In that case, the better her performance was, the more the netizens would apologize, and the more merit points she would earn.
Now, because of Zhengqiao’s acting skills, she had to stop her performance and earn less merit points.
Jiang Xun felt that she had to get it back from Zhengqiao.
Jiang Xun sighed and pretended to be helpless. She said to Zhengqiao, “Teacher Huang, how about this?”
