Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 827: Gu Jiahui’s Set Visit
The day Gu Jiahui arrived, Sheng Tang was shooting a particularly grueling scene.
The character she portrayed had hit a dead end in her research and was caught in an argument with the male lead in the pouring rain. Just as the two were exhausted from the quarrel, they suddenly found inspiration and began new research.
This segment needed to convey a lot of emotions.
The audience might want to see some romance from the female lead, yet not too obviously, so the emotions between the two young people needed to be subtle and restrained.
It was winter, and although the water truck was using warm water, it wasn’t very hot. When splashed on the body, it felt fine at first but soon turned cold.
What made Sheng Tang miserable was that the male lead was a college student from a film academy, and his performance was intermittently good.
Rumor had it that he had a fight with his girlfriend today, and his mood on set had been bad throughout.
Being overshadowed by Sheng Tang in a scene was quite common. Every actor who worked with her would be overshadowed by her.
These film academy students didn’t bear as much psychological burden and would perform quite well. However, they also encountered various issues.
For instance, now it was a series of NGs, repeatedly interrupting Sheng Tang’s emotions.
The warm water poured over her, and when stopped, she felt extremely cold, but she couldn’t change clothes right away.
In short, she was about to go crazy, her expression was particularly grim.
It was rare for Sheng Tang to put on airs.
When she was unhappy, the male lead student became even more nervous.
This scene took two hours to shoot.
Director Chen Zhi wanted to call for a break, but considering they would need to rent the water truck again the next day and repeat the process—it would be costly and grueling—so he didn’t allow for a break.
"Listen to me!" Sheng Tang draped a down jacket, already soaked through, over her shoulders, her face turning purple mainly from the cold. She stepped forward and actively discussed the scene with the male lead, Zhu Cheng, "In this part, you can’t be too restrained. Loosen up a bit, it’s okay."
The male lead Zhu Cheng was also frozen stiff: "Sister Sheng, the director didn’t agree, he already called for an NG once before."
"That NG call was because your expression still wasn’t enough, you were too restrained." Sheng Tang said, "Yan Zi is a disabled person, as her classmate, you indeed need to take care of her, so when you’re angry at her, you also have to control your emotions.
With an ordinary classmate, you wouldn’t suppress your anger when losing your temper. However, Yan Zi is also the girl you like. In your eyes, she’s just a normal person.
You should demonstrate anger fully. Don’t hold back, and that’s why the director keeps saying your performance isn’t in place."
Zhu Cheng finally understood this point.
He told Sheng Tang, "I’ll try again."
Next, his rage became too exaggerated, beyond the normal range.
The director was dissatisfied.
Sheng Tang and the director corrected him repeatedly.
Three hours, a full three hours, finally completed this two-minute scene.
Sheng Tang was almost exhausted.
When the director said "cut," Sheng Tang immediately walked out.
The next scene didn’t involve her, so she wanted to return to the hotel for a hot bath, otherwise, she would surely catch a cold.
As she walked, she told her assistant Ai’ai who followed her, "Go to the pharmacy and get me some banlangen granules and cold medicine. I’ll take them first, just in case..."
It was then that she saw Gu Jiahui.
She was a bit surprised.
"When did you get here?" Sheng Tang asked him.
Gu Jiahui: "I’ve been watching for two hours. Your shooting didn’t seem very ideal, did it?"
"Sigh." Sheng Tang sighed.
The set was a distance from their hotel, and Sheng Tang was soaked through. She just simply took off her wet inner clothes and put on a regular sweater and jacket.
She was still very cold. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
As she walked back, she was shivering nonstop.
Gu Jiahui really wanted to hug her to give her some warmth, but with reporters everywhere, he didn’t dare.
