Smith has already filmed more than a dozen clips. The early stages are not difficult and can be completed indoors.
The only flaw is that Alice's acting is terrible, especially when she looked into the camera several times, for fear that the audience would be taken in by it.
Smith was greatly distressed.
"Alice, Fatty, Xiaoxue, they all perform better than you, no... under Zhou's command, their performance can be called professional actors."
Taking advantage of the break, Smith called Alice and couldn't help scolding her.
After all, he hired a teacher to teach her the knowledge and skills of directing. He didn't expect her to be as good as an old actor. It had been more than a year, but she still wanted to get started, right?
In fact, he had seen Alice's performance before, and it wasn't so bad.
Chubby and the others came over, and when they heard someone complimenting them, they immediately became very happy.
Alice's mouth was pouted.
"I didn't want to either, but with so many people watching, I felt nervous. They seemed to be laughing at me! They definitely wanted to see me make a fool of myself."
When Smith said this, tears rolled in Alice's eyes.
"nervous?"
Smith also thought about it. The staff around him and such a formal occasion would indeed put a psychological burden on a child who has never experienced these.
"Okay, let's try again. I will reduce the number of staff as much as possible. At the same time, you try to calm down. Your attention can be transferred to John and Kenny, and treat other people as if they don't exist."
Smith softened.
This is also because Alice is his granddaughter. If it were anyone else, he would have been scolded by him.
Alice nodded heavily, "I will try my best."
"Very good, this is your birthday gift, we must make it the best we can, right?
Let the world see your beauty."
Smith smiled.
"Um."
…
After resting for more than ten minutes, Alice calmed down and seemed to be in the zone.
Smith waved his hand, signaling everyone to take their places.
This is a family drama, with conversations starting from morning to the dinner table. It is not difficult to express the relationship between Alice and her family and pets.
Smith originally thought that Alice could adjust her condition and succeed after a few attempts.
The second time, Alice's eyes averted, her voice was trembling, and her expression was very unnatural.
The third time, because I was distracted, I fell on the ground.
the fourth time……
For more than ten times in a row, everyone showed a bit of irritation and disdain in their eyes, but they did not dare to express it.
The biggest one here is Alice's grandfather Smith, who dares to complain?
You will definitely be fired instantly.
"Hmph~" Fatty'er was very happy. He ate a lot of milk and fruit salad. It doesn't matter if he comes back dozens of times.
Heibao stroked his belly, it was full.
Although Xiaoxue and Bai Yu are a little impatient, whoever wants the Smith family to provide delicious food and drinks all day long has to be patient and cooperate for this.
In the rest area, Alice was in a low mood and started to act petty, "I won't take pictures anymore!"
Smith couldn't laugh or cry, and the employees tried their best to show gentleness, including a pair of actors who played Alice's parents in the movie, who patiently offered guidance.
But because Alice was angry, the two of them sneered and ran away.
At this time, Zhou Huayang, who had been watching from the side, shook his head and had no choice but to take action.
"I can help you."
Originally, he wanted Alice to hone her acting skills on her own. After all, from the conversation, he vaguely knew that Alice was determined to develop in the film industry. Even if the capital was strong, no matter how beautiful she was, acting skills were the foundation.
Of course, if she is not afraid of what others say and just wants to make money, relying on Smith's relationship, it doesn't matter if she doesn't need acting skills.
"Zhou, do you have any idea?"
Smith, the famous director, was at his wits' end.
Speaking of which, he is not very good at teaching actors. At most, he tells the actors their own requirements instead of teaching them over and over again how to achieve their own requirements.
After all, he couldn't waste his time on this. There were a lot of good actors, including movie stars, for him to choose from. There was no need for those people to be taught directing skills by Smith.
"Zhou, really?
If you can help me, I...I can give you whatever you want."
Alice's eyes lit up.
Zhou Huayang was noncommittal and turned to Smith, "Can I take Alice next door?
Just one minute."
"One minute?"
Smith wondered, what can be done in one minute?
Psychological guidance?
Explain acting skills?
If one minute is useful, what's the use if Smith spent more than 300,000 US dollars to hire a famous teacher to teach Alice for more than a year?
"Okay, hurry up, hurry up."
Alice pulled Zhou Huayang and ran to the small room next door.
Smith was helpless and couldn't follow him. The other party pointed out that he should take Alice to the next room. Wasn't it because he didn't want his unique method to be exposed?
He muttered that everything depends on the effect. If there is no effect, no matter how mysterious it is, it is a waste of time.
In the small room, Alice was full of expectations, "Zhou, what can you do?"
"Hmm... It's similar to hypnosis."
Zhou Huayang said something, then raised his index finger and touched Alice's forehead, and his mental energy suddenly burst out.
Zhou Huayang recited a scripture called the Calming Mantra in a low voice.
Alice's complicated emotions melted away like ice and snow at this moment, returning to calm.
The reason why she failed every time was mainly because of nervousness and excessive psychological burden. However, Zhou Huayang's method allowed her to maintain a calm state without being disturbed by the outside world, and her strength could be maintained for a long time.
When Zhou Huayang raised his hand, Alice looked at herself in surprise. She felt that her mind suddenly became clear, all the noise and distracting thoughts disappeared, and she was able to stay focused.
"How about it?"
Smith watched the two people come out, and the employees looked at them one after another, feeling that Alice's condition was much better.
"Grandpa, I will definitely pass this time."
Alice was very happy and jumping up and down, but the strange looks from other people did not shake her mind at all.
"Okay, let's get started! Try to get through."
As soon as Smith waved, everyone came together again, and the camera crew followed and began to enter the decorated cartoon-style room and start shooting from scratch. During this period, no stupid mistakes were made.
Alice's performance was quite satisfactory, and she clearly remembered the various performance techniques and taboos she had learned before.
If it's a problem, it doesn't fully demonstrate the agility of the girl, but her cuteness more than makes up for the minor flaws.
Half an hour later, everyone was relieved and finally passed. After all, this part was just the simplest part of the whole show.
Smith laughed with satisfaction, "Well done, Alice."
"Zhou, how did you do it?"
Seeing the remarkable effect, he was particularly curious as to how Zhou Huayang did it, and maybe it could be useful to him in the future.
"Um... I know some hypnosis techniques, and I can use small suggestions to make her feel calm."
Zhou Huayang explained.
In fact, it's much more magical than hypnosis.
"Hypnosis techniques?"
This was the first time that Smith and the people nearby had heard that hypnosis could be used in this matter.
"That's amazing! Thank you, Zhou."
Smith thanked him.
"With little effort, Alice performs stably and saves everyone's time."
