Fang Yan Huan listened to Chen Tian Ming's reprimand, feeling extremely embarrassed. She knew clearly that she had also been completely captivated by Chen Yao just now, as if someone so formidable was supposed to be so flamboyant, not caring about anyone else.
She had been drawn into the act by Fang Miao Miao, whom she disdained the most.
Fang Yan Huan looked at Fang Miao Miao, who was gathering extras not far away, and clenched her fist unwillingly. How could this be? Impossible. Fang Miao Miao was just a useless good-for-nothing who couldn't be helped. How could she possibly be better than herself?
Seeing her silent, Chen Tian Ming didn't want to blame her further. After all, Fang Miao Miao had acted very well just now, and it was normal for Fang Yan Huan to stand still. "Ten-minute break, we'll continue later. Yan Huan, study your script carefully. If you don't understand anything, ask. You can ask anyone, understand?"
"Thank you, Director," Fang Yan Huan forced a smile.
"Ahhh, Sister Miao Miao. You were so cool just now, I loved it." Yu Zhi's eyes sparkled, like a fangirl. "Sister Miao Miao, how did you manage to be so full of swagger?"
She was so cool and dominant, it made her heart flutter like a deer.
"It was alright," Fang Miao Miao took a few gulps of water.
"What do you mean 'alright'? Sister Miao Miao, I'm already switching from being your fan for your looks to being a fan of your acting. Sister, you're truly amazing. How did your acting just jump up a level?"
Fang Miao Miao shook her head. "My acting isn't that great."
She, too, had her own limitations. In her previous life, it was precisely because she realized she had reached a bottleneck that she became more determined to leave the entertainment industry.
In her previous life, honestly speaking, she had chosen to retreat at the crucial moment.
Yu Zhi paused for a moment, then smiled. "It's okay, Sister Miao Miao is still young and can improve slowly. Perhaps with repeated learning, she'll get better, right?"
"Little Zhi'er, you're quite good at comforting people," Fang Miao Miao said with a smile.
"No, I'm just stating the truth. Anyway, at your current stage, there aren't many actors whose acting is as good as yours."
Either they were famous and their acting was barely passable, or they had acting skills but just couldn't become famous.
Someone like their Sister Miao Miao was truly rare.
Moreover, she had watched a few of Sister Miao Miao's previous dramas, and her exaggerated acting was truly unbearable. Now, Sister Miao Miao's acting had improved by leaps and bounds. If there were no external interference in this film, it could completely win awards.
Perhaps, their Sister Miao Miao could even win some award then.
Thinking of that scene made her feel blissful.
Fang Miao Miao looked at Yu Zhi, who was comforting her and ended up with a silly smile on her face. "Little Zhi'er, what are you thinking about, looking so happy?"
"I was thinking about our Sister Miao Miao winning an award with this drama," Yu Zhi blurted out.
"Cough cough." Fang Miao Miao almost spat out the water she had just drunk. "That statement..."
"Sister Miao Miao, as actors, especially actors whose acting is improving, we must have dreams," Yu Zhi said seriously. "As the saying goes, what's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?"
"Then I'll try my best?"
"I believe Sister Miao Miao can definitely do it."
"Prepare, everyone get ready to start."
Fang Miao Miao handed the cup in her hand to Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi held the cup in one hand and clenched her fist in the other, cheering her on.
Fang Miao Miao shook her head dotingly. This person was even more enthusiastic than herself.
"Yan Huan, how is your preparation?"
Fang Yan Huan took a deep breath, her small face filled with seriousness. "Director, I'm ready."
If Fang Miao Miao could do it, she definitely could too, and even better than Fang Miao Miao.
Thinking of this, Fang Yan Huan became even more focused, putting in twelve points of spirit.
Chen Tian Ming watched the scene on the monitor. Although it was a little different from what he had imagined, it was still somewhat acceptable.
After one scene, Fang Yan Huan was drenched in sweat.
In contrast, Fang Miao Miao only had a small amount of sweat on her forehead.
"Director," Fang Yan Huan looked at Chen Tian Ming who was approaching, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Not bad, much better than before."
Hearing this, the smile in Fang Yan Huan's eyes vanished. "Is there still a gap?"
"Yes," Chen Tian Ming nodded repeatedly.
This drama really seemed tailor-made for Miao Miao. Whenever she appeared, not everyone, but most people's eyes would be drawn to her.
This role had a great advantage.
The audience had seen too many love stories. It was rare to have a character like Chen Yao, a beautiful female villain who was ruthless and intelligent.
"Director, I want to try again."
As soon as she said this, not only Chen Tian Ming, but even Fang Miao Miao couldn't help but glance at Fang Yan Huan a few more times.
"Are you sure? To be honest, this take was already beyond my imagination."
He was afraid that Fang Yan Huan wouldn't be able to recapture that feeling later and, in trying to improve further, would actually perform worse.
However, he then thought that Fang Yan Huan seemed to be the type who needed to be pushed by others to keep improving.
This was both good and not so good.
"I still want to try," Fang Yan Huan said to Chen Tian Ming, but her gaze was directed at Fang Miao Miao.
Fang Miao Miao raised an eyebrow. So, she wanted to prove herself.
"What about Miao Miao?"
"I don't mind," Fang Miao Miao shrugged.
"Alright, one more take."
After the last take.
Chen Tian Ming's eyebrows were furrowed like two caterpillars. Well, he had predicted correctly. Although it wasn't as good as the previous take, it was still passable.
"Director?"
Chen Tian Ming snapped back to attention and waved his hand. "It's good. Your and Miao Miao's scenes for today are finished. You can decide what you want to do. You can stay and watch the show, or go back to rest."
"Thank you, Director." Fang Yan Huan, thinking she had acted exceptionally well, quickly said with a smile, "Director, whose scene is it next?"
"Wen Lan and Qing Qing's."
"Then I'll stay and watch."
"You can. Learning more will be beneficial for you."
Fang Yan Huan's expression changed, but she quickly recovered. "I understand, thank you Director Chen."
Fang Miao Miao, on the other hand, returned to the makeup room to remove her makeup.
"Sister Miao Miao, Sister Nian just said there was a small problem at the studio, so she had to go back early."
"What happened?"
Yu Zhi shook her head. "Sister Nian looked quite flustered and left after saying only a few words."
"Give me your phone."
Taking the phone, Chen Yao went onto Weibo.
Entertainment Hot Search, tenth place.
#Ji Shi photoshopped#
If she remembered correctly, Ji Shi was an actor that Zeng Nian had previously wanted to sign.
She clicked on it.
It was a short video, not long, and quite dark.
In the video, Ji Shi, without a mask, got out of the car and helped an elderly woman into a hotel. The video showed that after the two entered the hotel, they came out one after another early the next morning.
"These paparazzi really have too much free time."
