Free Web NovelChapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Meeting the Male and Female Leads
This has become an unwritten rule in the industry. After all, to have a top director take the time to teach someone how to act, particularly a clueless newbie... it’s basically impossible.
If that really were the case, the film wouldn’t even need to be shot.
If she turned out to be one of those talentless, attention-seeking internet celebrities, Xue Fan wouldn’t even bother.
But after meeting Yun Qiluo, he found that this young girl was different from what he imagined. Giving her a little guidance wouldn’t hurt.
The main thing was, she looked good, clean and fresh, which made it easy for him to talk to her, so he didn’t mind spending a bit of extra time giving her some tips.
Of course, it’s just a few extra words. How much she can learn is up to her, and it’s still impossible for Xue Fan to have the time to teach her step by step.
He even prepared himself; even if in the end she acted like a piece of wood, it would be fine for her to obediently be just a pretty face.
When filming started, the actors all noticed the extremely pretty young girl sitting next to Director Xue.
Especially the two leads. Upon seeing her appearance, they were instinctively taken aback. After a moment of pause, they started wondering who this girl was.
But there was no time for them to think, as they quickly got into character and focused on their roles.
As Yun Qiluo saw them start, she immediately sat upright, watching with full concentration.
It was her first time watching others shoot a historical drama live! Plus, it was something she would also be part of, so she couldn’t be more excited!
Soon, Luo Luo’s face was flushed with excitement, eager to join in.
If she hadn’t changed costumes or if it wasn’t her turn yet, she would have wanted to jump in and act alongside them.
Especially since the two were the main actors she would frequently interact with during filming, and she had been thinking about her scenes with them a lot the night before. Seeing them, she instinctively wanted to say her lines.
Xue Fan was so focused on directing that he almost forgot there was a Yun Qiluo beside him. When he snapped out of it after they finished, he noticed the young girl was particularly excited and her eyes were glowing brightly.
He couldn’t help but ask, "Interested, are you?"
Luo Luo nodded: "Mm-hmm."
Xue Fan smiled: "That’s not bad. Being interested is a good thing. Did you observe their performance closely just now?"
Yun Qiluo continued nodding: "Mm-hmm." As closely as possible.
Xue Fan was suddenly curious about her thoughts: "What do you think?"
"Pretty good. It’s just that it doesn’t look as impressive as the TV shows I’ve seen before," Yun Qiluo furrowed her brow, judging seriously, "They still have room to grow."
Xue Fan was amused by her earnest tone.
However, the two actors indeed have room for improvement, but acting skills can’t develop overnight. The two leads are still young, and their earlier performance was passable, so he didn’t ask for another take.
He gestured for the two leads to come over.
They had been paying attention to this side all along, and immediately came over with smiles to greet Xue Fan: "Director Xue."
"Who’s this young lady?" Lan Xinxin, who played the female lead, looked at Yun Qiluo and smiled, "She’s so adorable. Is she related to Director Xue?"
The male lead was a popular star, maintaining a cool image in front of outsiders but was quite humble on set, just not very talkative.
He also turned his gaze to Yun Qiluo, with a touch of awe and curiosity but remained silent.
