Huh? Assistant Director Zhao expected to see Director Chu’s dark face, or even get furious like a rainstorm.
However, what he saw was Director Chu pushing up his black-rimmed glasses on his nose with a calm expression.
Regarding this unexpected shot, Chu Yundong did not shout to stop. Instead, he raised his hand to express that it was okay and not to stop filming.
On the set, the performance cannot stop unless the director calls for stop.
Everyone immediately murmured in confusion, but the two leading actors did not know that something was wrong. They walked and talked to the preset performance stopping position to complete the scene.
The young extra was still standing there looking at the window of the boutique, while several other extras were walking down the street in an orderly manner.
"Cut!" Chu Yundong then said through the loudspeaker, with a calm tone: "This is a good one, passed."
Passed? Assistant Director Zhao breathed a sigh of relief without knowing it, okay, as long as the director has no objection.
"Okay, prepare for the next shot." Assistant Director Zhao immediately clapped his hands and organized everyone to start the next round of work. The studio became noisy again.
But Chu Yundong still had something to say, and his tone seemed a little happy. He didn't know what idea he had in mind, "Who is that extra actor? Call him over."
"Oh?" Assistant Director Zhao was stunned, why are you still interested in that kid? He acted very well just now?
But looking back, it's true...
In the scene just now, although it was a show-off, it was performed with style and looked very natural.
Moreover, the boy was tall and well-proportioned. Although his face was tightly covered, his facial contours looked really good. He had medium-short black hair hanging down and was quite artistic.
With such a young talent, no wonder Director Chu would be interested.
"Hey, who is that? The one Sister Hua called, come here!" Assistant Director Zhao immediately shouted to the young man, with a smile on his face.
Over there, Lei Yue had just come back from being a passerby.
Because it was his first official film and television performance, he didn't understand many of the rules on the set. He didn't know if he made any mistakes or how he performed. He just felt that it wasn't satisfying enough.
Suddenly he heard his assistant instructor calling him over, and his heartstrings tightened. What happened? Did he really get noticed?
"Be more alert and don't cause trouble!" Sister Hua's previous instructions are still in my ears...
However, Assistant Director Zhao seems to be smiling?
At the same time, others could also hear the assistant director's shout, see the assistant director's smile, and see the direction of Director Chu's eyes.
"That brother is attracted by the director?" "Oh, good guy, you're lucky."
The extras scratched their heads, tutted, and were surprised and envious. They felt a little excited for others. It seemed like they could at least get a little something special, right?
Even the two leading actors were curious about what was going on. Who did Director Chu have his eye on?
Under the attention of many people, Lei Yue walked up to Director Chu and others, his steps staggering a little due to complicated tension.
"Hello, Director Chu, hello Assistant Director Zhao, my name is Lei Yue." He greeted.
"Well." Chu Yundong looked at the young man up and down, his eyes getting brighter behind his black-rimmed glasses, "Look at your figure and the scene just now. Have you ever studied acting?"
It really is! Lei Yue held his breath for a moment, his heart beat violently, and he was a little confused by the uncontrollable excitement.
Director Chu is...appreciating me...I just acted correctly...
"Yes." His voice was a little hoarse, "I have been performing since elementary school and have always done physical training."
"You are quite professional." Chu Yundong also smiled now, and explained to Assistant Director Zhao and the others with interest:
"Lei Yue acted really well just now. Not only his body language, but also his movement completely understood my intention.
"Walking from the roadside to the boutique window, the protagonist and the others are talking about love. He shows the love of a young man. The beginning of love is probably the purest kind of love."
Chu Yundong said and looked at the photographer, "The shot just now slowly blurred the background, right?"
"Yes." The photographer smiled and understood.
Chu Yundong even laughed out loud, "This kind of blur, the love of young people gradually fades away, and youth gradually blurs, okay! This shot is good, and it would be even better if there is a girl with him."
Everyone has rarely seen Director Chu so happy, but after listening to his words, they all understood why.
Assistant director Zhao also understood. He thought that Lei Yue was just acting naturally, but he didn't expect that he had achieved it and sublimated the scene!
No wonder Director Chu is so happy. Sometimes a classic shot really needs the light brought by the actor.
It's just that the brilliance is usually brought by the lead actor, not the extras.
"Lei Yue, okay." Assistant Director Zhao looked at the nervous and a little stiff young man in front of him and said happily.
I haven’t read the script, I haven’t been told much about the play, and yet I can act like this...
You really need to have a certain amount of acting skills to be able to do this.
Chu Yundong smiled and said to assistant director Zhao: "Isn't there a scene in the evening that requires some passerby couples? He should be able to change his look."
"Oh, oh." Assistant Director Zhao suddenly understood Director Chu's idea, "Is it the college student who has lines?" He then said to Lei Yue, "That's a big deal, he has several lines."
"That's what I mean." Chu Yundong nodded and said, "Lei Yue, please take off the mask first and let me see if it fits."
The surrounding crew members all looked at each other and smiled. In fact, everyone who is familiar with Director Chu knows that Director Chu never makes a mistake, and calling people over is already a decision.
This young man named Lei Yue is really lucky today.
Director Chu likes those beautiful and romantic things, and Pretty Boys Over Flowers is one of them. As long as this boy is good-looking, it is not impossible to get a role.
"..." Lei Yue's heart pounded loudly.
I really acted correctly just now. The intentions Director Chu mentioned are the effects I want to express...
Although I failed the art exam, I know how to act, I understand...
If you are a small player, you will have a chance to make a big deal on the first day.
In the past, I listened to other group speeches during breaks and became a special guest actor. "The level is different," and other special guest opportunities will continue to come.
Now this special one is Director Chu's role.
Take off the mask and move the hood and hair away...
Lei Yue's mood suddenly sank rapidly. Facing the happy and expectant looks of everyone, Chu Yundong's appreciative eyes seemed to be facing sharp knives that were about to kill him.
"What's wrong?" Assistant Director Zhao asked in confusion. Are you too excited and stunned? Don't waste time. Director Chu is waiting.
"Oh..." Lei Yue responded, still hesitating with his fingers to pull the mask.
Maybe, maybe it will be different. This is Chu Yundong, a talented and future great director, who is different from ordinary people.
Regarding his face, the opinions will be different...
Lei Yue encouraged himself, took off his mask, lifted his hat, and shook off his hair.
He instantly saw that the expressions of everyone on the opposite side had changed, and the entire area of the studio was suddenly silent.
"!?"
Assistant director Zhao, photographer, recorder, producer, various assistants... they seemed to have witnessed a sudden disaster.
On the left side of this young man's face, his facial features were damaged and covered with purple scars. It looked like some kind of living poisonous insect, squirming and eating. Everyone would avoid it if they saw it.
"This, this..." Assistant Director Zhao opened his mouth, his face full of astonishment, and he could hardly catch his breath.
The silence spread, and the two leading actors, extras, and other staff members who were watching over there all fell into a stunned silence one after another.
At this moment, no one dares to speak, leaving it to the director to decide.
When Chu Yundong saw that rotten face, he was stunned at first. After a few seconds, he finally came to his senses.
