518 Full Of Admiration For Jiang Xun
It was the perfect time to shoot the scene of Niannian going to prison in the morning.
The sky was still pitch-black, with only a hazy mist peeking through.
There was no one on the street. It was so quiet that not even the chirping of insects and birds could be heard.
Before the car could be seen from afar, the sound of wheels rolling across the ground could be heard.
!!
“Camera, get ready! Jiang Xun, get ready!” Mingguan shouted.
The camera went through the window and mimicked Jiang Xun’s perspective to film the car driving outside.
Then, he slowly shifted it to her face.
According to Mingguan’s request, they didn’t shoot Jiang Xun’s face directly, but two-thirds of her side profile.
Jiang Xun looked out of the window quietly, but when the camera focused on her side profile, her muscle movements gritting her teeth could be seen.
Mingguan stared at the camera and suddenly realized that Jiang Xun’s left hand, which was leaning against the wall, had grabbed the wall frame.
Her left hand clutched the wall so tightly that the veins on the back of her hand popped out. The blue blood vessels were clearly visible on the white back of her hand.
Mingguan quickly said to the videographer, “Quick, give Jiang Xun’s left hand a close-up!”
The photographer quickly zoomed in on Jiang Xun’s hand that was holding the wall tightly.
“Okay, slowly move it back to Jiang Xun’s face, and then pull it back to Jiang Xun’s back. Yes. Alright, stop and continue. Alright, cut!” Mingguan finally stopped.
Then, he looked back at the content on the screen.
“Director, how was it?” Jiang Xun walked over and asked.
Mingguan heaved a sigh of relief. “Very good. This one passed.”
“I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to handle the camera. Yesterday’s scene wasn’t difficult, so you passed it in one take. I didn’t expect you to perform that one well.” Mingguan heaved a sigh of relief. No wonder Haoulun and the others said that Jiang Xun was particularly talented.
He had seen many talented actors in this industry, so he didn’t take Guo Haoulun’s words “Jiang Xun is talented” to heart.
Which of the capable actors these days didn’t have some talent back then?
Those without talent couldn’t rely on acting to make a name for themselves.
It was just that they were talented at that time, and later on, with the accumulation of experience, their acting skills became more and more perfect.
However, he did not expect Jiang Xun’s talent to be far beyond his imagination.
Watching Jiang Xun’s performance made him feel as if he was facing off against top-tier actors like Shuidong and Gu Fei.
In fact, Jiang Xun’s performance was even more stable.
After Jiang Xun was selected for the audition, Mingguan went to watch the previous dramas that she had acted in.
In particular, the performance of the antisocial murderer in “Hell on Earth” left a deep impression on him.
He could not help but think that if someone like Shuidong, Gu Fei, or even a movie queen like Dong Qinrong were to play such a role, they might not be able to produce the same effect as Jiang Xun.
He couldn’t even imagine what Qinrong would look like when she transformed into a killer.
Unconsciously, the roles of the best actors and best actresses had also become somewhat fixed.
Not every role could be played well.
“Jiang Xun, why did you think of grabbing the wall with your hand just now?” Mingguan couldn’t help asking.
“Previously, you said that the expression of the scenes in movies and TV series are different, so the performance is also different, so I went to see many different expressions in movies. I tried pairing theory together with the scene performance of some films.” Jiang Xun explained, “Movies and TV series are indeed different in the details.”
“But I don’t have any experience in this area, so I won’t deliberately act. I’m just putting myself in Luo Niannian’s shoes and acting in accordance with her mentality. As for whether the camera can capture those details, I don’t really care. I just need to show it.”
“When I was studying the movies, I remember one of the details very clearly. It’s from the movie ‘Roche.’ There’s a scene where when the police come to investigate, the female lead opens the door to answer the police’s questions. The camera is mainly focused on the female lead, but in one corner of the camera, the female lead’s brother, who is the murderer, didn’t stop his performance. Instead, he observed the conversation between the police and the female lead as the murderer.”
“Actually, if you don’t look at the scene carefully, it’s hard to notice this detail even for someone who has seen it several times. However, it is precisely these details that makes a movie more complete and makes the movie world more real. I also saw many similar things. Some of them were from actors far away, while others were from the tiny movements of the actors in the camera. Whether it is the unremarkable actors in the corner of the camera or their micro-movements, they might not be captured by the camera, but they still did it. They didn’t do it in front of the camera, but they did it in that world, and it happened to be captured by the camera.”
“I think the meaning of these two words are completely different. The former is a performance, while the latter is reality.” Jiang Xun said, “That’s what I thought, so I acted like that. It didn’t matter if the camera could capture it or not. At that moment, I was Luo Niannian. That’s what I should do.”
“Not bad!” Mingguan couldn’t help laughing.
The laughter attracted the attention of the other actors in the crew.
Youlan also looked over. She didn’t know what Jiang Xun had said to Mingguan to make him so happy.
When she looked again, Mingguan’s face was full of admiration for Jiang Xun.

“Previously, Guo Haoulun and a lot of other people told me that you’re talented and that you can act well. They told me that you’ll definitely play the role of Luo Niannian well. But now, it seems that you’re not just talented.” Mingguan sighed. “While you have talent, you don’t stop working hard and become arrogant just because you have talent. You’re talented and so hardworking. No wonder Guo Haoulun and the others recommended you to me. They all like you so much. You should be the someone who succeeds!”
Mingguan sighed. Before he had met Jiang Xun, he had been a little prejudiced against her. He had felt that Guo Haoulun and the others had been exaggerating.
But now, it seemed that those people had been too modest and conservative. They had not praised Jiang Xun’s merits at all!
“Of course I have to prove myself. I can’t disappoint the people who have always supported me.” Jiang Xun smiled faintly.
Moreover, if she didn’t succeed, how could she slap antis’ faces to get merit points?
Merit points were not something that could be obtained easily.
Mingguan felt that Jiang Xun was too positive and hardworking!
He also stood up energetically. “Come, it’s just in time for the sun to rise. Let’s pack up and go for the prison scene!”
Everyone in the crew began to pack up.
The actor who played Niannian’s colleague who was arrested had also finished his makeup.
He was wearing a set of clothes that had been whipped into tatters.
His white shirt was covered in whip marks and red bloodstains.
