Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 78 Hanging out with the big guys
The action of spitting water was certainly not improvised by Chen Nuo, but was arranged by Yu Min.

Chen Nuo felt something was wrong at the time and even looked at Liu Yifei's expression. But Liu Yifei was very professional and did not object. Since she did not say anything, he had no choice but to follow the director's request.

But when filming, Chen Nuo still held back, only shooting a small line of water from his mouth, and aimed it at Liu Yifei's forehead. Even so, he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw the water droplets shooting on her beautiful face, sliding down her black and white eyes and her tall and slightly curved nose.

Afraid that the other party would get angry and slap him.

However, Liu Yifei not only did not say much, but was very into the role. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and slowly wiped the water off her face. Then she gave him a reproachful look and walked forward to gently wipe the water off Chen Nuo's face with her hand. Her expression was serious and her movements were careful.

This was of course what Yu Min requested.

However, Chen Nuo still did not calm down. He turned around and the wig ponytail splashed water on Liu Yifei's face again.

Liu Yifei sighed inaudibly, noticed the hole on the back of Chen Nuo's clothes, stroked it with her hand, and said, "Look at you, you're already such a grown-up, and you don't even know there's such a big hole on your clothes?"

Chen Nuo turned his back and suddenly a gentle smile appeared on his face, which was completely different from before.

This shot ends.

The director yells “Cut” and the stagehand hits the end plate.

Yu Min sat next to the monitor with Zhang Jizhong beside her.

Zhang Da Huzi also came to this scene today, but he had not said much before. Seeing this, Zhang Jizhong asked, "Do you want to do it again?"

Yu Min smacked his lips and asked, "What do you think?"

"That last expression, is that how you wanted Chen Nuo to act?"

"No. I just wanted him to play Yang Guo's playfulness, but not too much like a child. I didn't expect him to add this in the end."

Zhang Jizhong thought about it and said, "I think it's a good addition. This changes the entire logic of the previous part. According to the way they acted, Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu are more like a son and a mother. The son is naughty, so the mother tolerates him and takes care of him. But this is not good for the subsequent development of the relationship between the two."

Yu Min nodded and said, "Indeed. This smile shows that Yang Guo has actually grown up. The relationship between him and Xiao Long Nu is not just that of a master and a disciple, but also mixed with some love between a man and a woman. He was deliberately playing with her to make Xiao Long Nu happy before, which also shows the intelligent and precocious side of Yang Guo. It's really good. Then... how about we let this one go?"

Zhang Jizhong nodded and said, "Okay."

After hearing Yu Min say that the scene was over, Liu Yifei couldn't help but look at Chen Nuo. Chen Nuo also looked over at the same time, their eyes met and they both smiled.

Liu Yifei felt that the filming was going particularly smoothly during this period. When reading the script, if there was anything she didn't understand, she would send a text message to ask Chen Nuo, and nine times out of ten he would give her a reliable suggestion.

In the actual performance process, neither Chen Kun in The Story of a Noble Family nor Lin Zhiyin in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils gave her the feeling of acting comfortably.

It feels good to follow the big guys.

As for being sprayed with water by Chen Nuo just now, Liu Yifei felt that it was actually a big deal as it was just clean water.

But at this moment, she didn't seem to have thought that if the person who sprayed water was not Chen Nuo, would she still think it was a big deal?

Liu Yifei and Chen Nuo both stood still, quite close to each other. Although this scene was over, they still needed to make up some more shots. At the same time, both of them had water on their faces and heads, so they also needed makeup artists and stylists to come and touch up their makeup.

In order to prevent deviations in positioning between different shots, the two noobs did not run around and chose to wait where they were.

Many veteran actors don’t worry about this.

For example, Eric Tsang once said in a program that when he was filming a meal scene, he could remember clearly the order of each chopstick, what he picked up, and how many times he chewed. He was able to achieve complete consistency between different shots, which made the people doing post-production very comfortable.

This is the old actor who has been acting for a lifetime, and has turned all kinds of skills into instincts. However, Chen Nuo is still a little far from this level. In order to avoid being scolded in the later stage, he stayed where he was like Liu Yifei.

"Your mother has been looking at this side." While the stylist was blow-drying his hair, Chen Nuo moved his lips slightly and spoke softly.

Liu Yifei glanced at the distance with her peripheral vision, and imitated him, speaking without moving her lips or throat: "She's been a little nervous lately."

Chen Nuo asked, "Did you sneak out to play again and get discovered by her?"

Liu Yifei resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Boring."

Chen Nuo pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Come with me next time."

Liu Yifei said: "Haha."

The next shot to be added is the first shot, which is a close-up of Liu Yifei wiping the water off him.

Chen Nuo was like a restless little monkey, grinning, which formed a sharp contrast with Liu Yifei's calm expression.

The second shot is a close-up of Liu Yifei after Chen Nuo splashed water on her, with only her face in the shot. But Chen Nuo did not leave, still making expressions outside the camera, allowing Liu Yifei to perfectly perform that angry and funny look and expression.

The third shot...

Almost every shot was shot in one take, rarely a second take.

Zhang Jizhong showed approval and said, "Yifei's progress is really visible to the naked eye. She is much better than when she was in Tianlong."

Yu Min was working with Liu Yifei for the first time, so she didn't have many feelings. She just spoke from the perspective of a director and said, "Based on the current situation, I think we can move the shooting schedule forward. Chen Nuo asked me last night if we could finish his scenes before his school starts in September. I later looked at the current shooting schedule and felt that it was possible to rush it. This way you won't be under so much pressure, and it will be easier to explain to the investors."

Zhang Jizhong pondered for a while and said, "It would be great if it could be done ahead of schedule, but the quality needs to be guaranteed."

Yu Min nodded and said, "Of course. If I hadn't seen Chen Nuo and Yi Fei already in the mood, I wouldn't have dared to think so."

Zhang Jizhong said, "Okay, I'll call Zhao Jian over, and the three of us will discuss it. If it's okay, we can start working overtime tomorrow."

Chen Nuo didn't know that the question he asked while drunk was taken as some kind of request by Yu Min and she took it to heart. She found an opportunity to tell Zhang Jizhong about it the next day.

He just found that from that day on, his rest time became less and less, and his shooting tasks became heavier and heavier. Later on, even sleeping became a luxury.
