Chapter 715: Continuous NGs
The a.s.sistant said nothing.
Qin Fanya continued to ask, “Then, how’s the casting situation on Zeng Guangzhi’s side?”
“Still choosing people. This is a big IP. There are a lot of people who want to join the production team. A lot of people have sharpened their heads to come.”
“Of course. We don’t lack money for this movie. What’s the situation with the male lead and the second female lead on s.h.i.+ Jin’s side?”
“Lu Feng and Fan Yueqi are both talented actors. Although they don’t have a lot of traffic, their acting skills are recognized in the industry. They also have a very good reputation in the fan circle.”
Qin Fanya said, “In that case, let Zeng Guangzhi see if he can poach these two people for us to use.”
“This… doesn’t seem too good, right?” Although the a.s.sistant did not know the rules of the entertainment industry, he knew that this might involve many problems.
“What’s not good?” Qin Fanya said. “Do as I say.”
In the past, be it in front of outsiders or her subordinates, she had always been magnanimous. She had never been so mean, nor had she revealed her annoying side.
However, during this period of time, she had been suppressed by s.h.i.+ Jin. The demon in her heart was already out of control.

She did not even hide it in front of her a.s.sistant.

Zeng Guangzhi received the news from Qin Fanya and pulled out the photos and videos of Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng.
“Fan Yueqi is not beautiful enough, but Lu Feng is okay. However, their acting skills are indeed impressive,” Zeng Guangzhi commented after reading it.
Qin Fanya’s instructions puzzled him. He did not know why it had to be like this. However, when he thought about how Liang Han had once offended Qin Fanya, it was not completely impossible for her to interfere with his filming.
“Tell Miss Qin that I’ll contact Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng as soon as possible.”
It did not matter if she was not beautiful enough. With her acting skills and the post-production, it was enough.
Furthermore, Fan Yueqi being not beautiful enough was only in comparison to A-list female celebrities, she was not really ugly.

At the filming location of “Phoenix Tree”.
s.h.i.+ Jin’s makeup was already done. Little Jiang was taking photos of her.
“Very good. I think I’ve already found the shots and angles you’re most suitable for.” Little Jiang replayed it for s.h.i.+ Jin to see.
Little Song and Liang Han also came over to look.
“Aren’t there all kinds of angles?” Little Song said.
Liang Han knocked his head. “Don’t you understand? This means that s.h.i.+ Jin can withstand any angle. She’s 360 degrees suitable for all cameras.”
“Hahaha, indeed, indeed.” Little Song smiled and rubbed his head.
“So I can really do whatever I want.” Little Jiang held the high-end camera and faced the flawless female artist. He felt that he had really reached the peak of his career.
s.h.i.+ Jin smiled. “Stop praising me out of politeness. I don’t have anything to say back.”
“How is this polite praise? Look, look!” Little Jiang wished he could tell s.h.i.+ Jin how good she looked.
Fan Yueqi and Lu Feng walked in together and saw that they were chatting. The feeling between them was very familiar.
Although the two of them knew that s.h.i.+ Jin was also present during the audition, they had not expected their relations.h.i.+p to be so good.
Fan Yueqi glanced at Lu Feng and said, “I told you. We’re only here to make a border for s.h.i.+ Jin, right?”
Lu Feng did not reply and took another look at s.h.i.+ Jin.
“Yueqi, Lu Feng, you can put on your makeup now.” Liang Han saw them coming and walked over to greet them.
After the morning photoshoot, the afternoon entered the official filming process.
In order to let everyone get used to it, Liang Han filmed a few group scenes in the beginning. After the group scenes, he would film everyone’s individual scenes.
The group scene began and Liang Han officially entered his working state.
This was a scene where the three of them were together. Relatively speaking, it was not very difficult to film, but the requirements for everyone’s expressions and atmosphere were very high.
There were more than ten NGs in a row.
“Yueqi, you need to adjust your facial expression. The three of you were testing each other in this match. Your performance is a little too shallow,” Liang Han said.
The moment he entered a working state, he became very serious and his words began to be a little impolite.
s.h.i.+ Jin had actually noticed this characteristic of his when she was talking to him about other jobs. As a director who could write scripts and direct dramas, he had an almost harsh fanaticism for drama.
s.h.i.+ Jin could understand this way of working, but Fan Yueqi could not.
She was already a little anxious after more than ten consecutive NGs. Liang Han even singled her out every time to say it, making her emotions obviously low.
She returned to the resting area.
Her a.s.sistant brought her water. The manager said, “It’s only the first day of filming today. It’s inevitable that we’ll be unfamiliar with it. Take it slow.”
Fan Yueqi did not think that it was her unfamiliarity.
s.h.i.+ Jin’s performance was not very good either, but Liang Han only scolded her, so it was obvious that he was biased.
Speaking of which, she had worked with countless big directors. Why was Liang Han so picky?
She took two sips of water to suppress the anger in her heart.
Next, they continued filming.
“NG! Lu Feng, your smile is too frivolous. It should be casual and probing, not just teasing.” Liang Han added.
Lu Feng was picked up by his manager to drink water.
s.h.i.+ Jin walked up to Liang Han and handed him the mineral water in her hand.
Liang Han took a few mouthfuls and complained, “What’s going on? Weren’t all of them very good during the audition? They can’t do it when it’s official?”
“Director Liang, everyone acted separately during the audition after all. Working with everyone is still different. Today is our first shoot together, so there must be a lot of details that need to be adjusted.”
s.h.i.+ Jin’s words calmed Liang Han down.
He said, “I also want to improve.”
“I can understand your feelings and even admire your method. Work should be strict,” s.h.i.+ Jin said with a smile. “What you said just now is very correct. I believe that if we continue acting like this, this movie won’t be bad.”
In the past, Liang Han had always filmed television dramas that could not even obtain a B-rank rating. His reputation and results were all very bad, so when he obtained such a large investment in filming resources this time, he felt nervous.
The more nervous he was, the more he wanted to be strict and strive for good results. He did not want to waste resources and be looked down on.
s.h.i.+ Jin’s words made him slowly relax.
He had been filming for a few years and was now 28 years old. For directors, this age was actually very young, but to a person who had failed many times, he yearned for success once, even once.
