Chapter 114 Watching Him Act
“Your brother is pretty amazing, you know?” Lin Nan continued.
Ning Yi smiled, a hint of pride in her voice: "I know."
Lin Nan took two bottles of milk from the bag next to her and handed one to Ning Yi.
"They've only been in the industry for a few years, yet they've already achieved this level of popularity and success."
"I'm a year younger than Yan Ge, and I even debuted half a year earlier than him. I'm a professionally trained actor, but I haven't had a single hit drama yet, let alone any mainstream popularity."
Ning Yi looked at him with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. She knew very well that the entertainment industry was not easy to break into, and that many talented people were buried in obscurity.
Some people may not be discovered or discovered by the audience for several years or even more than a decade, after all, there are just too many outstanding people in the entertainment industry, and all sorts of factors are at play.
Ability is one part, luck is another, and of course, background is yet another.
Ning Yi comforted her, "It's alright, gold will always shine eventually."
Lin Nan smiled and said, "I hope so."
……
Ning Yi sat there bored, and her gaze swept around until she finally spotted two people standing in the distance.
Ji Yan and Jiang Yuyi were talking to each other while holding their scripts.
They both seem quite professional.
Soon, more people arrived, and Xu Zhi went over to call Ji Yan, who was then taken away to change clothes and put on makeup.
Fang Yuqing took a box of grapes out of her bag and handed it to Ning Yi: "Xiao Yi, have some fruit. Yan-ge said you like grapes."
Ning Yi smiled and took the grapes: "Thank you, Sister Yuqing."
They're filming Song Ming's scenes right now.
Ning Yi couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand and take a closer look. Song Ming, who played He Zeming, was now a typical businessman, just like the Song Ming she remembered.
She then searched for clips from the TV series Song Ming had previously acted in, and the domineering CEO character made her ecstatic.
This is a clip of He Zeming at work.
A short while later, Jiang Yuyi came out after changing her clothes.
She wore a white Chanel-style jacket paired with a black pencil skirt, looking every bit the sophisticated, elite woman.
Jiang Yuyi is already very beautiful and pretty, and with her long curly hair, she looks even more elegant.
This is a scene between Luo Man, played by Jiang Yuyi, and He Zeming.
It must be said that both actors had excellent acting skills, and they filmed several scenes, almost all of which were completed in one take.
Moreover, they got into character so quickly, and the handsome men and beautiful women were a real feast for her eyes.
A short while later, the assistant director told them to go down and rest for a few minutes, and then Jiang Yuyi went to change her costume.
About a minute later, Ji Yan also came out.
He was wearing a gray suit, but he was currently draping the suit jacket over his wrist.
She was wearing a white shirt underneath, with the cuffs slightly rolled up.
He occasionally adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses he was wearing, making him look much more mature.
Oh my god, this is so cool! Once this look is posted, how many beautiful pictures will be made?
Ning Yi stared at Ji Yan, whose hair was being styled by staff not far away, and couldn't take her eyes off him.
Fang Yuqing couldn't help but say from the side, "Yan Ge's movie is definitely going to be a huge hit. Regardless of the role, his beauty will definitely make him famous."
Ning Yi nodded in agreement.
A moment later, Jiang Yuyi and Ji Yan were ready to take their positions. When they heard the director call "Action," they instantly got into character.
The two stood facing each other. Ji Yan was much larger than Jiang Yuyi. Actually, Jiang Yuyi was quite tall, at 1.72 meters, but Ji Yan was about 1.92 meters tall.
"Mr. Chen, we are only in a cooperative relationship now. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now," Luo Man said calmly.
Just as Luo Man was about to leave, Chen Yi suddenly grabbed her hand: "So, our two and a half years together were just insignificant to you?"
Luo Man paused slightly, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes. She slowly said, "Chen Yi, we were never meant to be together, and there's no point in discussing the past."
Let's just consider this a friendly parting.
Chen Yi chuckled and tightened his grip on Luo Man's wrist.
"How heartless. I've liked you for three whole years, and now you're no different from other women," Chen Yi said coldly.
Luo Man gave a self-deprecating laugh, staring into Chen Yi's eyes as she said, "Yes, you won't believe me anyway, so what's the point of me saying anything?"
"I'm just a woman driven by money and profit, so Mr. Chen, you'd better not associate with someone like me."
After saying that, Luo Man forcefully shook off the hand that was holding her, turned around and left without looking back.
Chen Yi was left alone, watching Luo Man's departing figure. His eyes were filled with sadness, and his right hand unconsciously gripped the coat draped over his arm, veins bulging.
He growled angrily, "Fine, Luo Man, I guess I was blind."
"Cut! Very good. Everyone take a few minutes to rest and get ready for the next take," the director shouted from behind the equipment.
A makeup artist and two staff members immediately surrounded Ji Yan, touching up her makeup and adjusting her clothes.
Ning Yi watched the performance and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "This is true talent! It feels like Ji Yan was a completely different person just now."
This is completely different from the Ji Yan we know and love; I guess that's the charm of an actor.
Fang Yuqing suddenly said from the side, "It seems we're going to film Chen Yi and Luo Man's college days later, so we'll have to change locations."
Ning Yi nodded: "What about me? Should I come too?"
Fang Yuqing replied, "You'll come with me later; we'll take another car and go with the film crew."
Fang Yuqing paused for a moment and then said, "Wouldn't you be angry if you saw Yan-ge dating other girls?"
Ning Yi was taken aback by these words. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's for work, no way."
"But, is there going to be some intimate scenes later?"
Fang Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Actually, there aren't any particularly intimate scenes. Maybe just a hug or holding hands."
Ning Yi nodded. After all, Ji Yan was an actor, and she couldn't interfere with these things. As long as it wasn't for real, it was fine.
Besides, Jiang Yuyi is so beautiful, just treat it like watching an idol drama.
Ning Yi comforted herself.
After filming a few more takes, they moved to a different location.
Fang Yuqing led Ning Yi into the car, and Ji Yan followed shortly after.
"How are you? Bored?" Ji Yan sat down next to Ning Yi and asked.
Ning Yi raised the corners of her lips and shook her head, saying, "No, I think it's quite interesting, just like a TV drama."
"And it was even more shocking than watching a TV series! Acting really does require willpower. You guys are amazing at acting; you got into character in just a few seconds!"
Ji Yan smiled and said, "You'll get the hang of it after acting a lot."
About half an hour later, they arrived at a school.
Staff had scouted the location beforehand, so the area was already planned out. They went directly to set up the scene and prepare for filming.
