Entertainment Circle: You call me a bad actor? I sing well.

Chapter 160 Why Don’t You Drink?

Xu Yanyu suddenly realized that this guy came to ask for advice.

Duan Nianzhuang, who wanted to be famous very much, looked at Xu Yanyu expectantly.

Xu Yanyu was about to speak when Chang Xuan approached them.

"Yan Yu, I have a question for you!"

Chang Xuan told Xu Yanyu his purpose straight away.

"How did you achieve that expression that Director Wei just mentioned?"

Zhang Ying, who was not far away, glanced at the situation here and paused while drinking water.

The assistant next to her followed her gaze and saw the scene where Xu Yanyu was surrounded by the male lead and the supporting male lead.

The assistant couldn't help but complain: "Being beautiful is an advantage. People will surround you wherever you go. Yingying, don't be angry, let's..."

"Don't talk, I'll go over and take a look." Zhang Ying turned around and rolled her eyes at her assistant, then picked up a drink and walked towards Xu Yanyu.

She seemed to have heard Chang Xuan asking Xu Yanyu about her acting skills just now.

No, she wants to learn too.

Facing the two men's eager gazes, Xu Yanyu couldn't help but swallow.

After she organized her words in her mind, she was about to speak when another voice came.

"Yan Yu, did you not drink milk tea during the fat-loss period?

I have a cup of unsweetened lemon tea here. I asked someone to order it for you. You can drink it without worry. ”

Zhang Ying looked at Xu Yanyu with a smile, holding the drink in her hand.

Xu Yanyu blinked, and then felt flattered.

She took the drink from Zhang Ying and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Ying."

Zhang Ying leaned over to the table next to her and smiled at everyone, "What are you talking about? Keep going! Am I disturbing you?"

"No, no! It was Nian Zhuang who asked me about the acting problem that Director Wei mentioned just now." Xu Yanyu waved her hands repeatedly.

"Oh, come on, I don't understand what Director Wei just said either. Then I want to listen too."

It was natural for Zhang Ying to stay.

In this case, Xu Yanyu could only recall the knowledge about acting in her mind.

"In fact, the key point of this expression is muscle movement. If the expression is to be natural, the muscles must be flexible first.

So you can’t have too many surgeries on your face, or too many high-tech injections. This is a natural condition.”

Duan Nianzhuang next to him nodded repeatedly. He had just discovered that it depends on the tension between the muscles.

Zhang Ying on the side touched her jaw. She always felt that her chin was a bit square, but today's audiences prefer pointed faces.

So during this period of time I have been thinking about whether I should make some moves here.

Now after hearing what Xu Yanyu said, she temporarily gave up this idea.

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Xu Yanyu thought of the acting skill book in the system.

She demonstrated to everyone by gesticulating with her hands and glaring with a crooked mouth.

She talked a lot about everything from the actors' facial expression training to the characters' psychological changes.

The image of Living Buddha Jigong played by Grandpa You Benchang flashed through her mind, with half of his face smiling and the other half sad.

That watch is amazing!

Although Director Wei did not want such a strong expression, Xu Yanyu felt that if Duan Nianzhuang used a similar expression in the final ending, it would definitely be popular.

Thinking so, she demonstrated it to Duan Nianzhuang.

Not to mention, her actions once again overturned everyone's understanding of her acting skills.

Half of her face looked sad, while the other half looked relieved and happy.

Duan Nianzhuang couldn't help himself any longer, "Can a human really make this expression?"

"Just practice." Xu Yanyu picked up the lemon tea given by Zhang Ying and took a sip.

Then I couldn't help but shudder. It turns out that lemon tea without sugar is so sour.

She turned to look at Zhang Ying and saw Zhang Ying secretly practicing making faces.

Hey, everyone is quite studious.

The weather was hot. After Xu Yanyu sipped half a cup of lemon tea, Duan Nianzhuang also felt that his magical power had reached perfection.

He walked up to Xu Yanyu and said very politely, "Yanyu, can you help me check...is this the case?"

Duan Nianzhuang bared his teeth, then stretched out his hand to stroke his cheek, and then grinned with crooked eyes.

"Puff... Hahahaha..." Xu Yanyu turned her head to the side and sprayed out a big mouthful of lemon tea.

“Hahaha… Nian Zhuang… you’ll lose followers if you post photos of yourself like this online.”

Chang Xuan also clapped his thigh and laughed.

Zhang Ying next to her also turned her head away and laughed secretly.

Duan Nianzhuang looked at these people with grievance, and said unconvincedly: "Just tell me whether the love is deep or not, whether I am happy or not?"

"Your expression is too weird. I'm sure Liu Jing will want to run away when she sees you like this." Xu Yanyu turned around and replied earnestly.

Duan Nianzhuang was sad.

Xu Yanyu comforted him, "You also need to exercise the muscles on your face. You can't train them all at once."

After Xu Yanyu finished speaking, Duan Nianzhuang became even more depressed.

Xu Yanyu thought for a moment and said, "In fact, we can also use the light and shadow effects to cheat. Under the contrast of light and shadow, the same face can actually express different emotions."

But if this is done, it will depend on Director Wei’s ability.

Duan Nianzhuang suddenly became excited, "How can we use light and shadow to convey emotions?"

Xu Yanyu scratched her head. She actually didn't know what she should do. The system mentioned that light and shadow was also a way of expressing facial expressions.

Director Wei just happened to have finished checking the results of the filming and was walking towards them.

“Use side lighting or backlighting to create a three-dimensional effect and make the facial contours more distinct.

At the same time, by adjusting the position and angle of the light source, different light and shadow effects with different contrasts can be created on the same face.

For the first expression, you can choose a brighter light and shadow layout to make the face look bright and cheerful.

For the second expression, you can choose a darker light and shadow layout to create a deep and restrained atmosphere. ”

Xu Yanyu found the sentence in the system and recited it.

Director Wei happened to hear what Xu Yanyu said.

"Hey, you guys really enlightened me. I've learned some sketching before... I'll see if I can show it with a camera."

Director Wei didn't even say hello to everyone before turning back to his previous position.

He happily picked up a camera and moved it back and forth in front of the assistant director's face.

From time to time, he would ask the assistant director to adjust the position, and sometimes he would take out some props to adjust the light.

After a while, he suddenly shouted excitedly: "It's done!"

He turned to Duan Nianzhuang and shouted, "Nianzhuang, come here quickly."

Duan Nianzhuang ran over quickly.

Director Wei took pictures of his face back and forth, and then asked him to return to the original shooting location.

Finally, after Director Wei determined the location, he said to Duan Nianzhuang, "I'll show you a detailed picture first, and then I can edit it into the video."

Later, Director Wei asked everyone to cooperate to record the entire scene.

When Director Wei played back the video, everyone leaned over to watch and were immediately shocked.

Chang Xuan punched Duan Nianzhuang on the arm, "My goodness, your acting is amazing. The emotions expressed in this shot are very layered."

Duan Nianzhuang was also amazed by his own acting skills.

He is very clear about his own level, and the scenes shown in the camera have completely surpassed his original acting skills.

Director Wei said happily, "I learned something new today. Hahaha, I must make up for this lesson on light and shadow when I get back. There are many things to study here."

Xu Yanyu thought this scene was quite funny.

Originally Duan Nianzhuang wanted to learn, but in the end it became Director Wei who had to blame himself.

For the next few days, Xu Yanyu stayed in the crew.

She films during the day and takes time to practice the singer's songs at night.

Finally it’s Friday, and today is the live broadcast time for the new episode of "Singer 2024".

Xu Yanyu was carrying her luggage and waiting in the hotel for Tao Mimi's helicopter flight notification.

Tao Mimi kept her word. She said that if Xu Yanyu's live broadcast time was delayed, she would send a helicopter to pick up Xu Yanyu and rush to H City.

At twelve o'clock, Tao Mimi knocked on Xu Yanyu's door.

"Yan Yu, let's go!"

Xu Yanyu wore a white T-shirt with a slanting collar on the upper body and a dark green one-step skirt on the lower body.

When she opened the door, she saw Tao Mimi also holding a small box in her hands.

Xu Yanyu asked curiously, "Are you going to H City too?"

"Yes! I asked someone to get your live tickets for "Singer 2024". You will perform on the stage later, and I will cheer for you from the audience."

Tao Mimi said this and made a fist gesture to Xu Yanyu.

"Is there nothing else to do on the crew?" Xu Yanyu hadn't finished filming her own scenes yet, so after the performance, she might have to rush back to the film and television city the next day.

"What else can I do? The crew is just about to finish filming your scene. You can't do the work, and Director Wei has given us a holiday."

Tao Mimi said very happily.

When Xu Yanyu heard this, it seemed to be true.

The crew was originally busy filling in Liu Jing's shots, and now that she's gone, everyone has nothing to do.

Tao Mimi continued to complain: "Don't you know that Director Wei seemed to have quarreled with the singer's director because he delayed your time?"

Xu Yanyu touched her nose. Director Wu not only scolded Director Wei, but also Producer Qian.

How did Xu Yanyu know about this? Or did Xiaozhi hear the gossip and tell it to her every day like a little hamster?

At the singer's rehearsal, Producer Qian was scolded for being unkind and for actually stuffing the contestants into the crew to film.

Doesn’t he know that he is under a lot of pressure? Doesn’t he know that the eyes of the whole country and the whole world are fixed on him?

There is no way, because Director Wei’s application for increasing the investment in the crew was given to Producer Qian.

Producer Qian had no choice but to submit the application to the station.

The application was written in great detail, so Director Wu knew it was his old man Qian who begged Xu Yanyu to play Liu Jing.

So every day during meetings, I had blisters on the corners of my mouth because I always curse producer Qian.

At the same time, Director Wu also did not forget to ask Xu Yanyu every day whether she had practiced the song well.

Do I need him to recommend a place to practice tracks in the film and television city?

Just now, Director Wu made another call, asking if Xu Yanyu could come back, and asked her to get back to H City as soon as possible.

Xiaozhi also said that if the filming results sent back by Director Wei were not particularly convincing, those funds would not have been applied for.

Xu Yanyu couldn't help laughing when she thought about this.

The two men walked out of the hotel with their luggage. A helicopter was parked on a flat area in the distance.

As soon as the two of them got on the plane, Tao Mimi suddenly blinked and said to Xu Yanyu, "Let's go, let's go quickly and come back quickly! Director Wei asked me to keep an eye on you and not let Director Wu detain you in H City."

"Director Wei, you are still fooling around with him!" Xu Yanyu really laughed out loud this time.

"He's not kidding. Now when people mention you, they only think of your song ranking second on the U Chart. You are one of the most talented singer-songwriters of the young generation in China.

In the words of Director Wei, if Old Wu does something evil, you must take Xu Yanyu with you and run away. Once you return to the film and television city, he can handle everything. "

Tao Mimi said with a smile.

"Okay!" What else could Xu Yanyu say?

When Xu Yanyu was on her way back to H City, everyone at H Station was already busy as hell.

Director Wu looked at the staff next to him and asked, "Have you checked the stage?"

"We checked it yesterday and everything is fine." The staff nodded affirmatively.

Director Wu nodded and asked, "Does the contestant have any needs?"

"The contestants have a lot of requests, and our staff are trying their best to meet them." The staff responded immediately.

Director Wu nodded again. He looked at the large stage not far away that was flashing different lights, and asked, "Has the media promotion started? Have you contacted Langbo and Douniu?"

"The countdown to the live broadcast on the Internet started yesterday." The staff was very patient.

Director Wu touched the bubbles on the corners of his mouth. He was under a lot of pressure.

He finally asked the question he was most concerned about, "Why hasn't Xu Yanyu arrived yet?"

"Xiaozhi just said that she has boarded the helicopter a long time ago. She should be here soon." A hint of understanding flashed across the staff member's eyes.

Since the morning, Director Wu ended every question he asked him by asking why Xu Yanyu hadn't arrived yet...

Fortunately, he had learned his lesson and asked Xiaozhi to inform him of Xu Yanyu's itinerary in real time.

Director Wu couldn't help but curse, "That old Wei really has no moral principles!

I asked Yan Yu to come back by plane yesterday, but he insisted that there was a meteor shower on some star yesterday and he wanted to borrow the scenery!

He did it on purpose, he definitely did it on purpose! He knew I scolded him on stage, so he deliberately went against me."

The staff lowered their heads and didn't dare to curse along.

After Director Wu scolded Director Wei, he went on to scold Producer Qian, "That old Qian is also a filthy fellow. Don't think I don't know that he has been doing dirty things behind the scenes. He deliberately took the blame for the Xi Rubao incident with our Xu Yanyu."

"I have never seen such a shameless person in my life. He used to do the music arrangement work for Yan Yu. When something went wrong, he went to beg for help."

"He only cares about himself. Hasn't he ever thought about how difficult it is here? Do you know what people on the Internet say?

There are rumors in Goryeo that Xu Yanyu had the advantage of the venue, so she won against the Goryeo player. "

"They also said that we, the Flower Country people, are too proud and that we are unfair. If Kim Soo Mi performs well in the next game, I hope that the Flower Country will treat their contestants fairly."
