Pet Handbook

When Liu Yiman's hand was still half a centimeter away from Chen Xiangqing, the corner of Chen Xiangqing's mouth evoked a charming smile and jumped into the icy lake without hesitation.

The icy lake water invaded the limbs in an instant, and the conditioned reflex wanted to shrink the body into a ball.Taking a deep breath, a trace of calculation flashed across Chen Xiangqing's face, and she began to struggle in panic.

"Crack!" Qiao Munian frowned and shouted.

As soon as the director called to stop, the staff rushed forward, holding an umbrella to wipe her hair and wrapping padded jackets for the queen.Surrounded by everyone, Liu Yiman walked towards the monitoring station, and it seemed that everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.

Watching the crowd walk away, Chen Xiangqing struggled to climb ashore, took off the wet costume and hung it aside, went to the stage manager to ask for a towel and began to wipe her hair.

"After filming this kind of scene, take the clothes to dry immediately, otherwise it will affect the next shooting time." The costume designer took the initiative to find Chen Xiangqing to take the clothes, and complained a little dissatisfied.

The newcomer is indeed a newcomer and knows nothing.

"I'm sorry." Chen Xiangqing apologized obediently.

After finding her padded jacket among a pile of sundries, Chen Xiangqing quickly walked towards the surveillance video, not caring that the thin clothes inside were still dripping with water.

At this time, Qiao Munian and Liu Yiman were staring at the replay camera with serious faces, Chen Xiangqing's heart skipped a beat, fearing that it was her own problem.

What was playing on the screen was a close-up of Chen Xiangqing's face, although the expression on his face was vivid.But after careful scrutiny, it seems a bit exaggerated and stiff, not as perfect as Chen Xiangqing imagined.

"Director Qiao." Chen Xiangqing took the initiative to step forward.

"The problem isn't too big, but it doesn't stand up to observation." Qiao Munian criticized implicitly.

As a newcomer who first came into contact with the official camera lens, Chen Xiangqing's performance is considered very good.But as an important supporting role under Qiao Munian who has lines, this is not enough.

"It's too well-behaved. It would be great if we could add some creativity." Liu Yiman expressed his thoughts for Qiao Munian.

In fact, Liu Yiman was still very surprised when he played with Chen Xiangqing just now.

For example, the sharp contrast between the fanatical smile before jumping into the lake and the calm attitude when diving, can make the opponent Liu Yiman feel that the heart of Chen Xiangqing's role has been interpreted, and even make herself feel helpless. It seems that he has been tricked in this way, and it is hard to argue.

But as Qiao Munian said, there was something missing that could not cheer Liu Yiman up completely.

You can let your opponent and yourself play out the untapped potential of the character at the same time. This is what often happens when playing against old actors.But in Chen Xiangqing's body now, Liu Yiman didn't find that feeling. Of course, senior director Qiao Munian could also feel Tianhou's carelessness.

However, the difference is that Liu Yiman, who is a queen, can make up for the lack of passion with skill even if her performance is mediocre.As for Chen Xiangqing's mediocrity, it makes people feel that she is not spiritual enough.

"Wait until the clothes are dry, then think about how you should act." Qiao Munian simply dismissed on the spot.

He patted Chen Xiangqing on the shoulder to show his encouragement. In Qiao Munian's opinion, this newcomer has great potential and he is very attentive to details.The problem is that in addition to these, a successful actor also needs a flash of luck and talent.

Pursing her lips, she took another look at the familiar and unfamiliar self in the surveillance video, and Chen Xiangqing also felt that she was not enough to watch, especially in front of Liu Yiman who had no flaws in the camera.

The so-called no harm without comparison, even Chen Xiangqing can feel that Liu Yiman has not fully exerted her strength, and she has been compared to herself.Putting the theory in school into reality, it feels as if the face is not one's own when applied, except that it is unfamiliar.

Returning to her seat depressed, Chen Xiangqing stared at the wrinkled pages of the script in a daze.

There are not many lines above, and Chen Xiangqing can already memorize them fluently.But the places with few lines are also the places where the skills of an actor are tested, and acting skills are more needed than long dialogues.

The cold and wet wind mixed with raindrops hit the down jacket to keep out the cold, and the wind chilled down the neck as if it had eyes. The wet clothes felt bitingly cold against the skin, but Chen Xiangqing was like I didn't feel the same, staring at the script in my hand.

After Shen Xiangqing left, Liu Yiman didn't go back to the nanny's car to keep warm immediately, but just watched the constantly played video content thoughtfully.

"Aren't you going to take her with you?" Qiao Munian's voice came suddenly, with a faint smile.

"Is there a good person written on my face?" Liu Yiman asked without taking his eyes off the screen.

"You are a heart-warming senior, and it is a great honor to play with you and learn to be a man." The director's tone has a hint of ridicule that cannot be concealed.

"It's not relative, it's not a reason, why should I make myself unhappy." Liu Yiman finally moved his eyes away from the monitor, and glanced at the quietly distracted person not far away.

"I think she has great potential, but there are few people to mention." Qiao Munian's eyes followed her.

"Dare to speak human words?" Liu Yiman was a little impatient, acting strangely as if Qiao Munian really knew something.

"I don't know anything, I just saw Xiaolan appearing with her yesterday, the expression on her face was so bright..." The smile on Qiao Munian's face deepened, and he deliberately lowered his tone.

"None of my business!" Liu Yiman roughly interrupted the man beside him, and walked away without looking back.

I have never seen a man who is so gossip like him, and even cares about the actor's private life, Liu Yiman complained secretly in his heart, and took Qiao Munian's thermos away, which made the director feel a little frustrated and unable to attack.

Suddenly feeling someone standing beside her, Chen Xiangqing didn't know why she raised her head, and saw Liu Yiman standing against the backlight with an expressionless face.

"Senior." Chen Xiangqing quickly stood up from the seat.

"When filming in this kind of weather, remember to prepare a thermos cup to assemble the ginger soup." Liu Yiman threw the cup out of his hand, "I don't have basic common sense, and I still learn to be an actor."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Chen Xiangqing took the cup with both hands.

Inside was a steaming bowl of ginger soup, Chen Xiangqing poured it out and took a few sips while thanking, the chill in her body really dispelled a lot.

"Come here." Liu Yiman left a word in a lukewarm manner, and walked out.

Touching the cup and trotting all the way behind, Chen Xiangqing didn't understand what Liu Yiman's intention was, and it was hard to ask directly, so she could only walk speechlessly.

"If you're filming outdoors, all the work cars have heaters, and when you leave, just say hello to the scene manager and tell them where you're going." Liu Yiman boarded a car first.

Standing outside the car in a daze for a few seconds, Chen Xiangqing suddenly realized that this was Tianhou teaching herself, so she hurriedly followed.

"If you don't disturb other people's work in the car, you will usually not be kicked out." Seeing the people behind following in, Liu Yiman continued.

"Yes, I remember." Chen Xiangqing stood respectfully and nodded.

"What are you doing standing there? Do you want to wait for the clothes inside to turn into ice cubes so you can make a concave shape?" Liu Yiman rolled her eyes indifferently, and pointed to the small heater in the car, "If you don't bring any heating equipment, It’s usually found on makeup vans.”

After receiving the instructions, Chen Xiangqing took the heater and held it in her hands, her hands that had been numb from the cold finally felt warm.

"Hey, you can't find a place to sit down. You know you've been standing all the time, and I'm tired of having to raise my head when I talk to you." Liu Yiman complained with a dark face.

"Wait a moment." Chen Xiangqing glanced inside the car, pulled a stool and sat half a table away from Liu Yiman.

Although the attitude is not good, but the guidance is what I need most at the current stage. I don't know if this person can be described as being honest.Chen Xiangqing sat upright, always feeling that Liu Yiman must have brought her here on purpose not just to be a guide for newcomers.

"Your performance can be regarded as a textbook version." Sure enough, after the two sat down, Liu Yiman started the topic.

"Ah?" It sounded like a compliment, but Chen Xiangqing decided that it must not be as simple as the literal meaning.

"I don't understand, what the textbook means is that it's old-fashioned and lacks vitality." Liu Yiman frowned and said in disgust, "If you think that in Qiao Munian's crew, you only need to do such unconstructive things to pass the test, Then you can go now."

"I..." Chen Xiangqing opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Even Chen Xiangqing felt very dissatisfied when she saw her performance in the surveillance video, let alone Qiao Munian, who has always been known for his strict standards and high demands.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I deliberately turned down other jobs to act in this bloody drama, just for the sake of winning awards." Liu Yiman said bluntly, "Don't watch the bloody plot of this drama, if your If the performance can get Qiao Munian's approval, even if it is not accepted, it is commonplace to be shortlisted."

"Yes, I know." Chen Xiangqing nodded.

"Performance is not a matter for one person, otherwise you will have to do something with your opponent." Turning the subject, Liu Yiman pointed out something.

"Ah?" Chen Xiangqing felt that the speed of her brain seemed to be unable to keep up with Tianhou's jumping.

"There's only so much that can be said, and the rest can only be considered by yourself." After finishing the topic straightforwardly, Liu Yiman frowned suddenly and said, "Take off your clothes."
