260: Liu Haoran is about to film a new scene.
Seeing Liu Haoran's face full of disbelief, Chen Le smiled and nodded. "It's a wrap. You did well in that segment just now; you perfectly portrayed the feeling of nervousness."
Chen Le praised him once again.
The reason he praised him so much was to give him confidence.
He wasn't afraid of him performing poorly; he was afraid of him not daring to perform at all.
As long as he dared to act, his acting skills would improve sooner or later.
For a newcomer like Liu Haoran, encouragement was necessary.
"I hope you keep up the good work; we believe you can do it," Chen Le said with a smile.
"Okay, Director Chen." After receiving Chen Le's praise, Liu Haoran was immediately pumped up like he'd been injected with chicken blood. The nervousness he felt earlier vanished instantly, replaced by a faint anticipation for the upcoming scenes.
Seeing Liu Haoran's eager expression, Chen Le knew his motivational method had worked.
After finishing that segment, Chen Le took them to a different location to film the second part.
Chen Le had originally planned to let Liu Haoran spend the whole afternoon on that scene to get adjusted.
However, since Liu Haoran got it right in one take, there was naturally no need to waste time there. They had to hurry to the next location.
Subsequently, they arrived at Bangkok's airport. There was another scene to be filmed here: after failing the police academy entrance exam, Qin Feng mopes at home. To cheer him up, his grandmother buys him a plane ticket to Thailand so he can go there for a vacation.
Qin Feng follows his grandmother's advice and goes to Thailand to visit his cousin, Tang Ren.
His grandmother tells him that his cousin Tang Ren is the famous Number One Detective of Chinatown in Thailand.
Having loved detective novels since childhood, he immediately developed a good impression of his cousin upon hearing his grandmother's words and really wanted to meet this detective cousin.
Upon arriving at the airport, the Film Crew staff were already there waiting.
Currently, they first needed to film some fragmented clips. Finishing these early would make things easier later and save them from running around everywhere.
After all, filming is very fresh at the beginning, and everyone is willing to travel around.
Filming while traveling like this also allowed them to see the scenery.
But after filming for a few months, one would just want to finish quickly and wrap up production.
"Director Chen, you're here." Seeing Chen Le and the other core creative members arrive, the Film Crew staff immediately greeted them with smiles.
"Mm, is everything prepared?" Chen Le asked.
"Everything is ready, Director Chen. We can start filming right now," the staff member replied.
"Alright. Haoran, Baoqiang, both of you get ready," Chen Le said.
In reality, the filming at the airport mainly focused on Liu Haoran's plotline, so his task was heavier.
Hearing Chen Le's words, he nodded vigorously.
He then began to run lines with Wang Baoqiang, discussing how to perform.
About half an hour later, Liu Haoran came before Chen Le and nodded firmly. "Director Chen, I'm ready. We can start filming."
"Alright." Hearing Liu Haoran's words, Chen Le gave the OK.
With a shout of "Action!"
The airport scene began filming.
Soon, a week passed. During this time, the filming mainly focused on Liu Haoran's parts.
The reason for filming Liu Haoran's scenes first was to let him get familiar with filming and learn how it's done.
This would benefit the subsequent filming, as Liu Haoran was a complete newcomer after all.
For the sake of the filming schedule and to improve efficiency, this was necessary.
After a week of filming, Liu Haoran's progress was significant.
This week, he worked very hard to learn how to act from everyone.
Wang Baoqiang also spared no effort in helping him, sharing his acting experience with Liu Haoran.
Liu Haoran did not disappoint him; his talent was quite high. Although not quite on par with Wang Baoqiang, it was still very good.
The progress over this week was visible to the naked eye. Tong Liya and others couldn't help but remark that young people nowadays were quite impressive.
However, the scenes filmed this week were basically Liu Haoran's solo parts.
Today, Liu Haoran was going to film a new scene.
This scene was to be filmed with Wang Baoqiang, so Liu Haoran was a bit nervous.
This was his first time acting with Wang Baoqiang; previously, it had always been just him alone.
"Haoran, are you ready?" Chen Le looked at Liu Haoran and asked.
He wasn't worried about Wang Baoqiang; after all, Wang Baoqiang's acting skills and mindset were different from the past.
His main concern was Liu Haoran. Although he had improved a lot, compared to an average actor, he was still quite a bit behind.
"I'm ready." Liu Haoran nodded vigorously and spoke.
He had confidence in himself; although he was nervous, it didn't affect him.
"Alright. Baoqiang, you and Haoran get ready. We'll start filming in a moment." Chen Le continued, looking at Wang Baoqiang.
Hearing his words, Wang Baoqiang signaled that there was no problem.
The filming location was still at the airport.
Wang Baoqiang was coming to pick up Liu Haoran.
Seeing that the two were ready, Chen Le immediately shouted, "Action!"
The cameras began rolling.
Tang Ren arrived at the airport to pick up Qin Feng.
At this moment, the young Qin Feng was already waiting impatiently.
Wang Baoqiang took out a photo of Liu Haoran, and right in front of the photo was Liu Haoran himself.
Liu Haoran currently had a meticulous, serious expression.
Seeing Wang Baoqiang arrive, a very helpless expression appeared on his face because he had been waiting for a long time.
At this point, Wang Baoqiang spoke.
"I had many cases to handle, so I came late."
Upon hearing this, Liu Haoran's expression shifted, looking like he really wanted to roll his eyes at him.
At this moment, Wang Baoqiang spoke again.
"You know I'm a great detective, very busy, many cases to handle! I was just handling a big case just now." As Wang Baoqiang spoke, he looked at Liu Haoran.
Then he continued, "You... are you a mute?"
Hearing this, Liu Haoran felt a bit nervous, but he still remembered his lines and said, "I, I..."
Wang Baoqiang grinned at this moment. "Not a mute!... A stutterer!"
Wang Baoqiang's expression was very funny. Liu Haoran was originally thinking about how to continue his lines, but seeing this expression of Wang Baoqiang's, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Pfft!"
But he quickly reacted.
At this point, Chen Le shouted, "Cut!"
"Haoran! Don't break Character. Wait a bit, we're re-filming that segment just now." Chen Le looked at Liu Haoran and shouted.
Hearing this, Liu Haoran had an apologetic look on his face. He looked at Wang Baoqiang and said, "Brother Baoqiang, I'm sorry. I broke Character; we have to re-film."
Seeing this, Wang Baoqiang hurriedly waved his hand. "It's fine, Haoran. This is normal. I often break Character when I'm filming too. You don't need to be afraid or blame yourself. Breaking Character is a very common thing during the filming process; everyone does it!"
