Chapter 541 - 541 Thanks To Jiang Xun

541 Thanks To Jiang Xun

“In fact, you shouldn’t fully trust anyone when you’re in such a profession. Even if you’re betrayed, you won’t be affected by your personal feelings. Perhaps there will be a moment of wavering, but in the end, you will still put the great cause first,” Jiang Xun said.

“That’s reasonable.” Shuidong nodded slowly, “Then I’ll try the one you mentioned.”

At this time, Mingguan finished the call and came back with his phone.

Just as he sat down, he heard Shuidong say excitedly and anxiously, “Director Li, what time do we start shooting in the afternoon? Let’s start shooting as soon as possible! Jiang Xun just gave me a new idea. I need to experiment with it as soon as possible!”

Mingguan was speechless.

Mingguan looked at Jiang Xun in confusion. He had only left for a short time, and Jiang Xun had already given Shuidong a new idea?

“Alright, we’ll start at 1:30 in the afternoon,” Mingguan said.

Shuidong hurriedly ate the rice, using both a spoon and a pair of chopsticks. He finished the rice and vegetables and wiped his mouth. “I’ll go and think about it first, you guys take your time to eat.”

With that, Shuidong ran off.

Everyone was speechless.

“He’s always like this, a bit too into acting.” Mingxia had no choice but to say, “He can’t get past anything he’s not satisfied with. He has to repeat his takes until he’s satisfied. Sometimes, when there are too many takes and the director can only use it temporarily, he feels that it’s not interesting no matter what.”

“It’s precisely because of this persistence that he has his current achievements, right?” Mingguan said with a smile.

As there was plenty of time, Jiang Xun stayed behind to watch Shuidong shoot the scene.

“Alright!” Mingguan clapped excitedly. “This time, it felt right. Completely right!”

“Old Zhang, we’ve passed this one!” Mingguan also heaved a sigh of relief. The scene was finally over.

“It’s thanks to Jiang Xun! Thanks to her for giving me a new idea.” Shuidong had finally completed this shot. He was completely relaxed and not under so much pressure.

Otherwise, if he didn’t do well and the results weren’t good, Mingguan wouldn’t be satisfied, and neither would he.

Everyone said that his acting skills were good, but if he couldn’t film this scene even with his good acting skills, how could he not be stressed?

“It’s because Brother Zhang, you have been thinking about this role and you can’t get out of it. Just like how those involved could not see clearly, it was easier for me to think of other possibilities from a third party’s perspective. Besides, I’m not sure if I’m right or not. You can only know if I’m right after you act it out.” Jiang Xun smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to your acting skills that you can accurately convey these emotions.”

“Oh, our Jiang Xun is also very good at talking!” Mingguan said with a smile.

“By the way, I saw the fans of ‘My Other Half’ say that you wrote a set of your acting insights for Sister Yao?” Shuidong asked Jiang Xun.

“Yup!” At the mention of this, Qiyao’s eyes lit up and she nodded. She said proudly, “Brother Zhang, didn’t you notice that my acting skills have improved significantly these few days? Even Director Li praised me.”

“I did, I did.” Shuidong nodded and rubbed his hands as he looked at Jiang Xun. “Can I have one too?”

“Jiang Jiang, you’re being mean! Other than filming ‘My Other Half,’ we also filmed ‘Rural Distant’ together. You’re gave Sister Yao a copy, but you’re not giving me one?” Shuidong said.

Before Jiang Xun could say anything, Qiyao said, “Brother Zhang, you’re wrong. You’re a movie king, and I’m just a newbie. Of course, the acting experience Jiang Jiang gave me is useful, but it’s useless to you! Besides, if Jiang Jiang shared it with you and others know about it, they’ll say that Jiang Jiang doesn’t know her place.”

Shuidong was speechless.

“You’re Jiang Jiang’s spokesperson now? Can you let Jiang Jiang say something?” Shuidong was helpless at Qiyao’s antics. “Besides, if I don’t tell anyone. How would they know? This is an exchange of knowledge.”

“Then why don’t you exchange your knowledge with Jiang Jiang?” Qiyao followed.

“Why didn’t you exchange your insights with Jiang Jiang?” Shuidong asked subconsciously.

“That’s because my acting skills aren’t as good as Jiang Jiang’s. What’s there to exchange? I’m not giving Jiang Jiang my acting experience for her to learn from, but to let her review.” Qiyao immediately said.

Mingguan shook his head and laughed as he listened.

“It’s a pity that ‘My Other Half’ isn’t being filmed right now. Otherwise, just your bickering alone would be a very good source material for filming.”

Shuli was really miserable. He didn’t even manage to capture such a wonderful scene.

However, it could be used as a behind-the-scenes footage for the crew.

Mingguan had already asked the cameraman to turn on the camera and film their interaction.

As for Jiang Xun’s performing insights for Shuidong, that part had to be deleted.

Otherwise, Jiang Xun would indeed be scolded.

Actually, there really were acting skills books that were suitable for Shuidong’s level.

The acting skills books provided by the system were available from beginner to advanced.

Jiang Xun searched through her memory and felt that the advanced level should be suitable for Shuidong.

“I’ve only sorted out a part of it for Sister Yao. I’ll continue to sort it out later. Brother Zhang, if you don’t mind, I’ll give you the one I gave to Sister Yao. See if there’s anything you can use in there,” Jiang Xun said. “If you want the one in Sister Yao’s hands, you can get Sister Yao to send you a copy. But I don’t think you’ll need it.”

“Let me take a look, what if it can give me some inspiration?” Shuidong had never thought that he could really get any particularly obvious improvement from this. After all, he had already reached this level. Whether he went to the National Drama Academy or the National Film Academy, he could still teach students. There should be very little that he could really learn. However, since it was an exchange of experience and insights, there must be something that could give him some inspiration.

After all, everyone’s understanding of acting was different.

Just like the scene that he had just shot, he was not satisfied no matter how he acted. But after listening to Jiang Xun’s understanding, he immediately had a different feeling. He acted from another angle and indeed had a very different effect.

“Alright,” Qiyao nodded. Jiang Xun had sent it to her through WeChat, so Qiyao directly forwarded it to Shuidong’s WeChat.

It was almost time to leave. Jiang Xun and Mufeng bid farewell and left the airport.

The official Weibo account of “My Other Half” had released a preview of tonight’s broadcast last night.

At night, Jiang Xun and Mufeng arrived home just in time for the broadcast to be aired. They packed up and started to watch it.

However, because Chuanji had changed the props, Jiang Xun had almost been injured, so the accident in the crew was not recorded.

Naturally, the part where they found the suspect could not be made public.

Therefore, Jiang Xun and Mufeng’s scenes in this episode were pitifully low.

The audience naturally had their opinions.

Jiang Xun and Mufeng’s fans, as well as the Fengjiang fans, all protested in the bullet comments.

After the show ended, they went to the show’s official Weibo to protest.
