"From today on, you are just poor Luo Xiaoou.
"You go to this school and are often bullied by your classmates. Although your grades are very good, no one wants to play with you, and you don't like to blend in with them.
"You have no parents. Although grandma loves you, she doesn't understand your heart. After her death, you are even more lonely and your life is more embarrassing.
"You wear washed-out old clothes, eat the cheapest meals, proudly hold a scholarship, and at the same time embarrassingly hold a poverty subsidy.
“At this stage, you have no confidence and low self-esteem, but at the same time you need to be self-reliant and self-respecting.
"Do you understand what I said?"
"Um."
Ni Bingyan wore braids, a large school uniform with frayed cuffs, and yellowed white sneakers. He held two math exercise books and nodded gently.
As soon as she got the script, she began to write biographies of characters, and she had experience in her previous life as a foundation. There was no problem with this basic matter.
"Come on, take a few steps and let me take a look."
Wu Xi nodded with satisfaction and turned slightly to let her walk in front of him.
The set was being set up and the props were still being adjusted. Ni Bingyan concentrated on accepting the director's test. His back was straight but his eyes were looking at the ground unconsciously. He entered Luo Xiaoou's state and walked obediently.
In her previous life, she was only one step away from Luo Xiaoou when she was in adolescence. She had a wealthy grandfather.
When she entered the profession of actress, she specially carried out deportment training, walking posture, words and deeds, all in the direction of elegance and beauty. This does not mean that she has forgotten what she used to be like.
It can be said that during the campus stage when Ni Bingyan played Luo Xiaoou, he acted completely in his true colors, so there was no difficulty at all.
Wu Xi deliberately passed her by, wanting to see how she would deal with it. He saw her hand holding the exercise book tighten immediately, and with a gliding step, he avoided her smoothly. Then he quickened his steps and disappeared into the bushes in the blink of an eye. Behind the bush.
The whole movement was extremely natural, and there was an aura of fear of trouble all over her body, as if she had done this countless times before.
"Well, not bad, come back! It tastes like that!"
Wu Xi opened the little bee and called Ni Bingyan back.
Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, we summoned various departments to prepare for the official start of filming.
In August, before school started, "The Heir" began shooting at a private middle school in the suburbs of Beijing, filming the campus life of the heroine Luo Xiaoou.
Director Wu Xi is sophisticated and stylish.
Her long, soft hair is pulled into a sleek bun, and she wears a big visor on her head. She wears exquisite makeup and exquisite jewelry every day, and from time to time she looks down at the exquisite watch on her wrist.
She is mild-tempered and soft-spoken.
I was afraid that people would not be able to hear me clearly, so I carried a small white bee amplifier on my back. When speaking to people nearby, I would turn it off, and when speaking to people far away, I would turn it on.
Probably in her world, once the sound exceeds fifty decibels comes out of the mouth, it is not considered elegant.
This kind of style is extremely rare among directors.
In terms of rarity, Ni Bingyan probably has a lot to say.
Two equally wonderful people, they seemed to like each other as soon as they met.
After a few days of getting along, Ni Bingyan discovered that in addition to the director's strong sense of time, she also cared about makeup.
】
On the day when the makeup photos were taken, the costume designer gave her a slap in the face because there was a wrinkle at the hem of her dress, which made her look not classy enough.
She is not a cannon like Li Yiru, who can deal a lot of damage at every turn.
She stares at you with clear eyes, and tells you tenderly——
"When you go out to do things, you have to be more careful, and you must not have the idea of perfunctory. For example, if these clothes are treated like this, it is quite unprofessional."
Sometimes a gentle knife is more terrifying than a knife, a gun or a cannon.
She is gentle, but quite venomous and ruthless. It seems that the people she despises are terrible people, and the things she blames are wrong and cannot be refuted.
The little girl in charge of clothing had red eyes at that time, as if she had been scolded all day and night, and her pride felt like it was being rubbed against the floor.
From then on, Ni Bingyan reminded herself every day that she must pay extra attention when working and never be called unprofessional by her.
Otherwise, once word spreads and is interpreted by marketing accounts, it may become a black spot.
But after the filming of the movie actually started, Ni Bingyan discovered that Wu Xi would never be stingy with praise and recognition as long as he did a good enough job.
For example, now, after filming a scene in which Luo Xiaoou was bullied, she started to praise:
"Well, Luo Xiaoou performed very well just now. I didn't expect such detailed design. It's quite thoughtful."
Luo Xiaoou is not a weak person, she is just forced into that way by life.
So when she was pushed to the ground, punched and kicked by her classmates, while curling up to protect her body, Ni Bingyan took another action and reached out to grab a sharp stone.
After grabbing the stone, he squeezed and relaxed his fingers repeatedly, but in the end he still didn't smash the students' heads with the stone.
Because she still has dreams and a future in her heart, and she doesn’t want or want to die with such garbage.
"Try it again, zoom in on the camera and get a close-up of her hand."
Various departments rearranged the scene, and Ni Bingyan and other actors returned to their original positions to carefully ponder the next performance.
After the director arranged it, the scene just now was repeated again.
Work on set is like this, fragmented, complicated and boring.
If you meet a less capable manager, you will also encounter various intrigues.
Fortunately, as soon as Wu Xi appeared on the stage, people could see the strong side in her gentle body. After getting along with her for a few days, Ni Bingyan felt that this crew was probably the most organized crew she had ever been with.
For a self-disciplined and rule-abiding person like her, she likes this kind of working environment.
When work goes well, you feel better.
So after filming that day, it was still early to watch, so she offered to treat the entire crew to dinner.
It is common for the leading actors to treat guests to dinner, and the crew has long been used to it.
Out of respect, she first asked Wu Xi what he wanted to eat.
I thought that someone like Wu Xi would like plain Cantonese food, but unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth, she said she wanted to eat barbecue.
Asking the staff again, everyone thought the barbecue was good, so Ni Bingyan simply took everyone to find a familiar barbecue restaurant.
When it was time to eat, she sat next to Wu Xi and saw that she barely moved her kuaizi all night. Looking at her enthusiastic colleagues, Ni Bingyan immediately understood.
When it comes to his work, this director is serious, responsible and demanding, and sometimes he doesn't save people's face. His venomous words make people want to die immediately.
But privately, she is very gentle and would rather aggrieve herself than take care of the feelings of most people.
Such people are actually quite cute.
Ni Bingyan quietly stood up, went to the back kitchen to fry a plate of golden egg fried rice with less oil, put it in the middle of the table, and first filled a small bowl for Wu Xi.
Wu Xi glanced sideways at her, said thank you gracefully, and then started eating quietly.
After finishing one bowl, she went to get a second bowl herself.
Ni Bingyan was a little nervous at first, fearing that he couldn't figure out her taste, but now she became happy.
She didn't do this out of spite, but because in order to make a film well, chemical reactions are needed between actors, as well as between actors and directors, especially the leading actors.
This drama is a pure female protagonist. Ni Bingyan does not need to go out with Gao Junhui, Cui Xinran, Tong Mengxue and others to relieve stress like she did in "Soul Ferryman". What she needs most is to get along with Wu Xi. It’s related.
After eating and returning to the RV, Ni Bingyan fed the dog, drew and studied as usual, then called Sang Yuan to chat and deal with unread messages.
After that, I was about to turn off the lights and go to bed when I received a call from Sister Wei, saying that the shooting time for the Volkswagen advertisement had been set, and that I would come to take measurements tomorrow to prepare for the Spring and Summer Fashion Week in the next two months.
Ni Bingyan, who was fascinated by the lake, responded, put on a blindfold and went to sleep.
It was already half past ten, and the beauty said she didn't want to stay up late today.
