Chapter 737: Not That Easy To Perform
When the netizens were discussing it, Zhuo Wanshu and Wen Jingping were filming a scene of falling into the water.
It was early winter, and the weather had turned cold. The water was already chilly, and it was even colder at night
However, Wen Jingping’s acting skills were not good. This scene had been filmed seven or eight times. Zhuo Wanshu kept touching up her makeup, falling into the water, touching up her makeup, and then falling into the water again. The cycle repeated n times, and her face turned green.
In the end, the director could not stand it anymore. He let Zhuo Wanshu go to the side to rest first while he picked up the loudspeaker and scolded Wen Jingping.
“Wanshu.” Zhuo Wanshu’s manager had been watching from the side. When the director called for rest, she immediately rushed over with a blanket and wrapped Zhuo Wanshu up. She asked with concern, “Are you okay? Hurry up and get warm. I asked Little Wang to buy you ginger soup. You’ll be fine after drinking it.”
Zhuo Wanshu’s lips and face turned blue from the cold. She only recovered slightly after drinking the ginger soup. She hugged the heater that her assistant had brought over and refused to let go.
Her manager had been bringing Zhuo Wanshu along ever since she entered the industry, seeing her like this, she felt both heartache and anger. “The higher-ups of the company have lost their minds. To let such a half-baked person be the main character and even let you be her supporting character, this is simply going too far.”
“Sister Ming, don’t say too much.”Although Zhuo Wanshu was also angry in her heart, there were too many people on the set with too many eyes on her. It was hard to guarantee that no one would not hear and use these words to cause trouble.
“She’s already like this, what’s there not to say? How many people on the set actually think highly of her?” Sister Ming glanced at Pan You’an not far away, who was scolding Wen Jingping until her eyes were brimming with tears. She looked like she had been wronged and pretended to be strong, and Sister Ming became even angrier after seeing this.
“You also have a good temper. If you had been a little tougher and rejected this script, there wouldn’t have been so many messy things.”
Zhuo Wanshu pursed her lips and a gloomy and cold light flashed through her eyes. “How could it be so easy to reject?”
Half a year ago, she had just finished filming an advertisement and was discussing with her manager to reject a few unnecessary jobs. After resting for two days, she received a notice from the company.
It requested her to act in a TV series that the company had cast as the main cast, to take on a newbie who had just joined the company not long ago.
When Zhuo Wanshu and her manager heard this, they knew that this newbie must have some background. Although they were not very happy, they still accepted it.
They thought that even if she was a newbie from the company, with Zhuo Wanshu’s current status, even if she was not the main character, she would still have to act in a special role. It would be nice publicity for her.
In the end, she was asked to act as the supporting actress for this newbie.
When Zhuo Wanshu and her manager returned to the company and saw the script, their faces turned black. However, due to pressure from the higher-ups, they still signed the contract in the end.
It would have been fine if Wen Jingping’s acting skills were better. However, in reality, a year ago, she was just a small livestreamer on a live broadcast platform. To an actress, she was a real layman.
Even with the protagonist’s halo around her, she had already learned more in a few months than the average person. In front of a group of seniors who were older than her, it was still not enough.
In addition, in order to seize the opportunity, Hai Yi had started filming early. For Wen Jingping, it was also a bit like pushing an undercooked duck onto the shelf.
The consequences could be imagined. After a month of filming, the production team was on the verge of exploding every day. The atmosphere was terrifyingly depressing.
The actors and even the staff were feeling depressed. How could they work efficiently?
“Ah!” As the two of them were talking, they suddenly heard an exclamation from the side. They looked towards the source of the sound and realized it was Zhuo Wanshu’s assistant, Little Wang.
