Chapter 1778 - 1781: Teaching the Film Queen How to Act

Half an hour later, watching the increasingly exaggerated but completely off-track performance by Song Weiyin, the film queen, Shen Qiang forcibly stopped the shoot: "It's supper time. Let's all stop working and try some of Datong River's delicacies."Upon hearing this, the mustached director was silent, while the many cinematographers and other staff members stopped working.

"I can do it, one more time." The film queen Song Weiyin seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, anxiously saying, "This time I can definitely nail it."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Balance work and rest. You're too tense; you need a break, and then we'll shoot this last little bit again."

Song Weiyin still wanted to speak, but at this moment, her middle-aged female assistant whispered, "Weiyin, calm down. Actually, you know yourself that you can't portray a rebellious role, so let's pause for now."

This whisper rendered Song Weiyin silent.

At this moment, the mustached director looked at his watch and then said, "To be honest, our filming crew is top-notch. According to the plan, we should finish all necessary shots tonight and hand it over to post-production because our flight to New York is at 11:40 p.m. tomorrow night... no, tonight. So if this part can't be shot, it's best to find another team to take over the remaining part."

These words made Song Weiyin's face look grim.

Shen Qiang quickly intervened, saying, "Oh, Director Wang, please don't rush to conclusions. This will only make her feel more pressured, which won't help the filming much. Please go over there and have some supper. I've already had people prepare a late-night snack for everyone."

Upon hearing this, the mustached director didn't move; he continued to watch Song Weiyin thoughtfully.

At this moment, a member of the cinematography team smiled and appreciatively looked at Shen Qiang, sending a message on his phone to the side.

"The film queen isn't all-powerful. This newcomer named Shen Qiang has top-tier explosive acting skills and portrays the cold CEO role vividly, which directly led to Song Weiyin's acting collapse."

He then raised an eyebrow with a laugh and immediately saw the group chat explode with messages.

"Wow, isn't this the guy rumored to be in a relationship with Song Weiyin? What agency is he under? His acting is incredible. I just watched the sample you sent from your phone. I can't speak for other roles, but regarding the cold CEO role, this guy's acting is out of this world."

"This guy acted so well. If he were my opponent, I'd be worried I'd collapse too, but isn't Song Weiyin known for her stable acting?"

"Maybe it's because the opponent is too strong. Normally, such a small commercial shouldn't be difficult for Song Weiyin."

They were discussing fervently, and as insiders in the film industry, they were focused on acting skills, completely unaware that the so-called cold CEO and the charming Chu Liuxiang roles were something Shen Qiang could handle because he genuinely was a cold CEO and was skilled at flirting.

And the reason Song Weiyin's acting collapsed was that she, having entered the film industry at fourteen and always living in the public eye, simply didn't know what rebellion was.

If she were paired with an average actor, her performance would still be passable.

But Shen Qiang was too strong; he wasn't acting as a cold CEO—he was one, so in this situation, Song Weiyin's previously passable performance became just superficial and unbearably bad.

"You can't eat free food without consequences." The mustached director remained in his place, still sitting behind the camera, looking seriously at Song Weiyin and Shen Qiang, saying, "Too many unexpected things happen. When I first came here, I was most worried about Shen Qiang's acting, but I didn't expect the problem would be with Miss Song."

"What surprised me even more was that this was all predicted by the producer, so there's no rush for supper. Miss Song, you need to give us a definite answer. Can this film be shot? If not, everyone should pack up and leave. If it can be shot, then we'll continue after supper, but it has to be for sure because the schedule is tight, and everyone is waiting to make money to eat. We can't waste time."

Upon hearing this, Song Weiyin fell silent.

Shen Qiang, who had been watching Song Weiyin closely, frowned. Seeing her remain silent, he couldn't help but chuckle and suggested, "How about this, it's past midnight now, let's have supper first. I've arranged accommodation for everyone at a nearby hotel. After dinner, get some sleep, and we'll shoot this last part tomorrow morning. What do you think, Director Wang?"

Hearing this, the mustached director smiled, looked at Song Weiyin, and said, "After being in this industry for a long time, you realize that no one's acting is all-powerful. The role you can't play today, you won't be able to play tomorrow either."

Other members of the crew quietly agreed.

"Yes, the more similar a role is to an actor's character and experiences, the better the portrayal. When an actor can't get into the role, no matter how they act, it looks wrong and feels awkward. Therefore, this isn't something you can force."

"Exactly, this isn't like moving bricks on a construction site; you can't just lift it from here and put it there. If you can't act it, you just can't, and no one can help it."

Hearing this, Song Weiyin fell silent, her beautiful eyes looking dim.

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Everyone walks a different path, in different environments, with different experiences. Indeed, some things can't be portrayed, but Song Weiyin is fantastic. Trust me, let's have dinner first, get a good rest after dinner, and at 6:30 tomorrow morning, I'll ask everyone to get up early. I personally guarantee that by then, Song Weiyin will be able to perfectly portray this role."

Upon hearing this, the crew all had teasing expressions on their faces.

Only the mustached director had a slightly curious look in his eyes, saying, "Do you think, in just a few hours, you can teach her what rebellion is?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "She might just not have experienced it; once she does, she'll naturally be able to."

"It's impossible," the mustached director laughed, "Such things rely on insight, and what's taught by others is superficial. If you can do it in such a short time, wouldn't that make you an Immortal?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang glanced at Song Weiyin and smiled, "I believe we can do it. If it's still not working tomorrow morning, Director Wang, you can proceed with your schedule. We absolutely won't hold you up."

The mustached director laughed.

At this moment, the supper had been served. The mustached director smiled and said, "Alright, since you all have such confidence, I won't dampen your spirits. Tomorrow morning, you only have three chances. If it's not shot, we'll leave immediately."

"No problem, it's a deal," Shen Qiang smiled.
