Fang Yan and Yun Liuli were also watching from behind, listening to the director and Shi Hanchu discuss the scenes that had been filmed.
Shi Hanchu was different from the director. Director Hu had the habit of repeatedly reading the script. After reading it once, Shi Hanchu would go to the resting area to pick up the script.
Yun Liuli asked Fang Yan if she could ask Shi Hanchu some questions.
Fang Yan nodded. "Shi Hanchu is a very nice and easygoing person, and he's also very willing to guide the younger generation. Don't worry; it won't be a problem if you ask him! Be more humble. "
Yun Liuli nodded, not mincing around like other girls. She hugged her notebook and brought a small stool over to sit next to Shi Hanchu.
Shi Hanchu's assistant had wanted to chase Yun Liuli away and stop her from disturbing Shi Hanchu while he was reading his script. However, upon recalling that Yun Liuli was brought here by Fang Yan, the assistant didn't dare to do so.
Shi Hanchu looked at Yun Liuli, who was sitting beside him. She opened her notebook and asked, "You're a reporter?"
"No!" Yun Liuli shook her head. "Just now, Big Sister Yan asked me to learn acting from you."
What Fang Yan meant was for Yun Liuli to learn from Shi Hanchu in the surveillance room. She didn't mean for Yun Liuli to brainlessly ask Shi Hanchu for guidance.
Shi Hanchu smiled and asked, "You want to learn acting?"
Yun Liuli nodded.
Shi Hanchu was not a person who liked to hide things. Usually, when new actors who acted with him came to ask for his advice, Shi Hanchu would not hesitate to teach them.
Shi Hanchu saw the dense and delicate handwriting on Yun Liuli's notebook. He took the notebook and glanced at it. Indeed, she was seriously learning how to perform.
Out of the corner of his eye, Director Hu saw Fang Yan looking in Shi Hanchu and Yun Liuli's direction, so he looked over as well. Seeing that Shi Hanchu had taken Yun Liuli's notebook and was saying something to her, Director Hu's heart skipped a beat.
"I'm not an acting teacher in school, so I can't teach you professionally. But I can share my experience with you."
Yun Liuli nodded and obediently looked up at Shi Hanchu.
"For example, the character I'm playing today, Xie Xun. If I were to be hit on the spot, I would have to forget who I am and become Xie Xun! Do you understand what I mean? "Shi Hanchu's voice was low and slow, mellow and pleasant to the ears.
Yun Liuli blinked her eyes in confusion.
Shi Hanchu asked, "Do you know who you are?!"
"Yun Liuli," Yun Liuli said honestly, her eyes filled with intelligence.
Shi Hanchu nodded and guided her patiently. "Then why are you Yun Liuli and not someone else? Why aren't you Fang Yan, Director Hu, or Shi Hanchu? "
Yun Liuli was a little confused. She knew very little about acting.
"The reason why I'm Shi Hanchu is because I've been Shi Hanchu for as long as I can remember. My childhood, my adolescence, how I got to where I am today, I have memories that belong to Shi Hanchu! Therefore, I am Shi Hanchu! "
Yun Liuli still didn't quite understand.
"Then, if I want to play Xie Xun, I need to have Xie Xun's memories. His childhood, adolescence, and how he got to where he is today. These are all things that aren't in the script! Do you understand now? "Shi Hanchu asked.
Yun Liuli thought about it, then raised her head and asked Yun Liuli with some uncertainty, "You're saying that if I want to play a person, I have to become that person. The script won't have the memories and experiences of the person in the script, so I have to fabricate and refine them, treating them as real?"
Shi Hanchu had told Yun Liuli what he said today to other people who came to ask him for advice, but only Su Manman and Yun Liuli could understand.
Shi Hanchu smiled at Yun Liuli. "Then, there's nothing else I can teach you! You're very perceptive and very talented! "
Yun Liuli gained more inspiration from Shi Hanchu than from the acting teacher. She didn't write anything in her notebook, but she understood everything in her heart. She got up and bowed to Shi Hanchu. "Thank you …"
Yun Liuli then obediently returned to Fang Yan's side.
"You learned something?" Fang Yan asked.
Yun Liuli hugged her notebook tightly and nodded, already starting to make up stories about the vampire queen's growing up. After all, filming was starting tomorrow, and Yun Liuli didn't have much time.
Fang Yan raised the cup of coffee in her hand to Shi Hanchu. Shi Hanchu smiled and raised his thermos cup as well.
Using coffee in exchange for Shi Hanchu giving Yun Liuli a lesson was quite a good deal. Fang Yan's lips curled up.
"Do you want to try letting your young lady make a guest appearance?" Director Hu asked Fang Yan.
"Is there a suitable role in the script?" Fang Yan asked, then added, "Or are you going to change the actress at the last minute? That doesn't seem too good, right? "
Fang Yan was a little embarrassed, but her eyes clearly showed her eagerness to try.
"When I saw your young lady just now, an image suddenly flashed across my mind. I feel that with this role, Xie Xun's character will be more fulfilling."
"But let me say this first. Apart from being pretty, my young lady doesn't know anything else. She's just starting to learn how to act!" Fang Yan gave Director Hu a heads-up.
"Mm, it's enough that she's pretty! I'm just afraid she's not pretty enough! Your young lady has a good disposition, so it's fine for her to act as herself. "
There was a part in the script where Xie Xun's good friend told someone else the reason why Xie Xun joined the army!
Xie Xun was the young master of an aristocratic family and was childhood friends with Princess Mingcheng. It could be said that Xie Xun had liked Princess Mingcheng since he was young.
Princess Mingcheng had the reputation of being the number one beauty in Daliang, so she was forced to marry Nan Yan. However, she was assassinated on the way and died on the way.
Xie Xun swore in front of the princess' tombstone that he would rather die in battle than let any girl in Daliang marry him.
Because Director Hu hadn't found a suitable candidate to play Princess Mingcheng, he had originally planned to let Su Manman take the role. After all, Su Manman's beauty was considered top-notch in the industry. However, Su Manman said that she didn't want to play the role of Shi Hanchu's dead lover in the movie. It was inauspicious, and Director Hu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only let Princess Mingcheng become a legend and not appear in the movie.
But seeing such a beautiful Yun Liuli, Director Hu was tempted.
Anyway, it was just a few scenes without any lines. It didn't matter if she had acting skills, as long as she was beautiful!
"Alright then!" Fang Yan agreed on behalf of Yun Liuli. She reached out and gently patted Director Hu's arm. "Take it that I owe you a favor!"
It was a dream come true for newcomers to be able to show their faces in such a big-budget movie.
Fang Yan knew very well that Director Hu had let Yun Liuli take the role because, firstly, Yun Liuli's looks were good, and secondly, it was because of Fang Yan.
"Since that's the case, let Lin Nuan take the role in my next movie!"
Director Hu joked with Fang Yan about how he had mentioned it to Fang Yan previously but had been rejected.
