Sheng Anran glanced at Guan Nai and said in a deep voice, "Guan Nai wants to add a scene where she slaps back after being hit. I don't think it's in line with the kind character of the heroine."
Compared to Sheng Anran's obvious resistance to the addition of scenes, Guan Nai was much calmer. She looked at Director Wang calmly and had no intention of explaining her 'opinion' at all. She said faintly, "Actually, I'm just giving a suggestion. Whether it can be changed or how it will be filmed after it is changed, that's the director and scriptwriter's business."
Director Wang glanced at Ye Huanyan and asked, "What do you think?"
Two A-list actresses, a senior director, and the treasure of the crew, Ye Huanyan could not afford to offend any of them. She could only smile and kick the ball back into Director Wang's hands. "You have the most experience, so we'll listen to you."
Director Wang touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "In fact, experience also needs to keep pace with the times. In fact, we used to pay more attention to the dramatic tension in the plot, but recently I watched a TV series and feel that it's a good way to show this point in detail. The slap that Nai Nai suggested is good, but I think the dramatic tension can't be opened with just one slap. It will only make the audience feel bored and tired."
As soon as he said this, Sheng Anran was the first to agree and said, "Director Wang is indeed a great director. You see this clearly."
As soon as the voice fell, Director Wang continued, "One slap is not enough, let's start with ten."
"Pfft." Ye Huanyan had just taken a sip of water to calm herself down, but because of Director Wang's understatement, she was so scared that she spat out all the water. She said in disbelief, "Ten … ten?"
"Yes," Director Wang said seriously, "There are too many heart-wrenching scenes in the script of 'Remaining Life.' The audience won't be able to stand it. We have to give the audience some hope and the pleasure of venting. Since the heroine has been reborn, it's too easy to just slap her back. Let's do it more, we might as well go from venting to the audience until they laugh."
Ye Huanyan stole a glance at Sheng Anran, and his face was livid.
This time, it was Director Wang's fault. What did he mean by shooting yourself in the foot? Ye Huanyan felt that this phrase might be tailor-made for Sheng Anran.
After the script was adjusted, the shooting started again. Ye Huanyan stared at Team A's camera and pulled a long shot. Sheng Anran and Guan Nai, who had just returned to China, met on the narrow road at the entrance of the community. The two people didn't agree with each other. Sheng Anran raised his hand and slapped Guan Nai directly. His raised arm looked like a swift wind. When the camera zoomed in, Guan Nai's muscles twitched on the face. This slap looked very real.
Guan Nai's eyes reddened, and she looked at Sheng Anran in disbelief. Her gaze suddenly tightened, and she slapped him.
Guan Nai's clear voice came from the receiver. "Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
"Cut." Director Wang called for a stop and replayed the scene.
"Awesome." Ye Huanyan looked at the replayed scene with a look of surprise.
During the break, Guan Nai suddenly began to squat on the ground and do all kinds of warm-ups, arm-wrestling, leg stretching, and so on, which scared the crew.
Ye Huanyan pulled Guan Nai and lowered his voice. "Go easy on him for the next scene. That's enough."
Although the two of them had been at odds for a long time, they had only filmed a small part of the scene. If something happened here, it would be terrible.
Guan Nai looked at Ye Huanyan with a teasing smile. "Why do you feel sorry for her? Shouldn't you hate her a lot? Have you forgotten all those things when you were in Bali? "
Ye Huanyan's eyes froze. "What's wrong with you?"
She had never mentioned her identity to Guan Nai, and five years ago, she didn't have much interaction with Guan Nai.
Guan Nai stood up, glanced at her lightly, and whispered, "Would you believe me if I said that I actually rely on smell to judge people?"
The next scene started shooting, followed by Guan Nai slapping Sheng Anran. Director Wang suddenly thought of adding 'Nine Consecutive Slaps'. How gossipy the crew was depended on how many onlookers there were.
Even Xiao Zhang, who usually went out to buy coffee for an hour to slack off, ran back and panted as he squeezed his way to the front of the crowd to watch.
Guan Nai moved her arms and glanced at Sheng Anran contemptuously. She looked like she was going to do something big.
Sheng Anran's face was pale and her voice trembled. "Guan Nai, you can't do something like taking revenge, right?"
"That's not necessarily true."
While speaking, the assistant stepped forward to adjust the hidden receiver on the two people. After the adjustment, Director Wang gave an order. "Action."
As soon as the voice fell, a "pa" sound echoed violently in the air.
The whole group was stunned.
Sheng Anran covered his face and looked at Guan Nai in front of him in disbelief. This slap was really ruthless. Across the camera screen, Ye Huanyan trembled and her heart clenched. How much hatred did this have?
"Are you crazy?" Sheng Anran's anger was completely acting out. Guan Nai fixed her eyes on Sheng Anran, and Sheng Anran tilted her head.
Then there was another slap. While everyone took a breath of cold air, the set was silent and no one heard the slap.
There were seven slaps left in a row, which looked very fierce in the camera. Coupled with Sheng Anran's stunned expression, as Director Wang said, it was full of indescribable dramatic tension.
What was not funny was that these two people seemed to be acting in a mime, and there was no sound at all. After a long while, they finally heard Guan Nai say, "Do you think I came back just to take your man?"
Guan Nai's voice came from the receiver. Ye Huanyan calmed down and continued to shoot. "I want to tell you, in addition to your man, there are also everything you took from me, I will take it back from you one by one, including identity, status, and men are just one of them."
"…"
The sharp lines and the tacit cooperation between the heroine and the supporting role made people dare not make a sound. They only dared to watch this scene with bated breath, as if they were already in the cinema. After the humorous and absurd nine slaps, it was the heroine's seemingly cold but already turbulent emotions.
"Xiao Mo …" At this time, Su Nianhua's voice passed through the camera. The B group's camera zoomed in and swept over Su Nianhua's back.
"Cut." Director Wang's voice broke the silence of the set.
Scattered applause sounded around, and it was a perfect ending.
"The most important thing between actors is a sense of trust. This is a kind of spirit. It looks like a slap with a lot of force, but when it hits the face, it's just a light slap. In the eyes of the audience, this slap is already quite strong. With such a high level of cooperation, this is a sense of trust."
Director Wang picked up the teacup beside him and looked at the camera with gratification, praising.
"That was a real slap …" Ye Huanyan reminded in a low voice.
"That also means that Sheng Anran took the slap very well. His expression was very natural, and he didn't call for a stop midway. He was very professional. After the first touch, Nainai's subsequent slaps were also very accurate. That wasn't a real slap …"
Ye Huanyan smiled awkwardly. Sheng Anran didn't call for a stop probably because he was stunned. Director Wang's analysis was really …
