Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 706 Sheng Tang’s Charm

Chapter 706: Chapter 706 Sheng Tang’s Charm
The situation became tricky.
The problem wasn’t with Sheng Tang.
Indeed, the movie requires cooperation, it’s not about individual brilliance. But, having actors with good acting skills that add charm to the character is a good thing.
Both Zheng Weiwei and the director, as well as the producer, liked actors like Sheng Tang.
They couldn’t possibly go to Sheng Tang and tell her not to act so well.
Sheng Tang was flawless.
The issue was with Wen Yu. As the female lead, she couldn’t carry the weight and couldn’t keep up with Sheng Tang’s rhythm.
Zheng Weiwei said, "The director needs to talk to Wen Yu, to ask if she’s not in the right state today and if she hasn’t gotten into the role. If she is still like this even in the role, we will need to make other arrangements."
The director agreed.
Zheng Weiwei added, "To prevent Wen Yu from throwing a tantrum, Old Wang, you need to be prepared."
Wang Xi nodded.
The producer’s responsibility was to manage everything, coordinate the conflicts between actors and the crew, and soothe the emotions of actors and their agents.
Both the director and the producer were well aware of Wen Yu’s acting skills, but did Wen Yu herself know?
Would she think that the director was deliberately picking on her?
In any case, everyone should be ready.
During the break, Wen Yu was chatting with Sheng Tang.
Wen Yu didn’t know much about Sheng Tang’s background, only that she knew Ding Ruifan and his wife, and everyone knew Ding Ruifan’s status, along with his box office guarantee.
Therefore, Wen Yu also wanted to establish good relations with Ding Ruifan, using Sheng Tang as a bridge.
After the director had rested, he did not continue shooting but walked toward their resting area.
Wen Yu thought, "Maybe Sheng Tang didn’t perform well, and the director is here to pick on her."
She felt that this assumption was unreliable.
After all, judging by her professional level, Sheng Tang’s performance was very good.
While acting, Wen Yu found it difficult to associate Sheng Tang, who was quiet off-set, with the flamboyant character she played. Sheng Tang portrayed Zhao Beibei, who was expressive, highly professional, and full of personal charm.
Others watching Zhao Beibei wouldn’t think of it as a character Sheng Tang is playing but would instinctively guess, "Which supermodel is this?"
Wen Yu didn’t know what the director was dissatisfied with about Sheng Tang.
She smiled faintly at Sheng Tang and said, "Oh no, the director is coming over to cause trouble."
She spoke with a joking tone.
Sheng Tang was puzzled, "Does she think the director is coming for me?"
Unlike Wen Yu, Sheng Tang guessed that the director was probably here for Wen Yu.
The director walked in, smiled at Wen Yu, and said, "Teacher Wen, let’s discuss the next scene first, then do a rehearsal and practice the blocking."
Wen Yu: "..."
Her face turned awkward instantly.
She really didn’t expect the director was here for her, not Sheng Tang.
In other words, the person causing the director to stop for thirty minutes was her?
How was this possible?
She acted very well in the role of a woman striving in her early career. It’s not like this was her first time playing such a role, so why was he coming to talk to her about it?
Perhaps because Sheng Tang deliberately lowered her performance level, Wen Yu herself didn’t feel overshadowed by Sheng Tang, so she didn’t know what her problem was.
She stared blankly at the director, then glanced at Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang stood up, "I’ll go get a cup of water."
She made an excuse to leave.
Over there, the director started seriously talking to Wen Yu about her issues.
"...For our film, the main tone needs to be bright and fashionable. Your role, Qi Qi, is a girl with strong-willedness and a competitive spirit, with great confidence in her professional skills.
Even if she is currently a newcomer in the workplace, her confidence and charm must be displayed, so the audience believes that she can rise in the future and become a leader in the industry.
Teacher Wen should understand that the aura of a leader has to be built up in the early stages. You have suppressed Qi Qi’s charm too much in your acting, making her seem overly mediocre," said the director.
The director spoke in a very tactful manner.
Wen Yu’s face alternated between red and white.
Hearing these words, she felt as if the director was overturning the character she had carefully crafted, making her very embarrassed.
Moreover, during the script reading session earlier, and even at the start of filming in the morning, the director didn’t require her to display the character’s charm, but rather to portray a diligent newcomer in the workplace.
Now, he suddenly was asking her to imbue the character with charm.
There was only one reason: Sheng Tang’s supporting role was too charming, making Qi Qi pale in comparison.
Wen Yu: "..."
