601 Clearly
In contrast to Tao cen’s smile, her assistant’s expression was one of bitter hatred. She looked at Jiang se as if she was looking at an irreconcilable enemy. When she noticed mo Anqi’s glare, she raised her head arrogantly and looked away.
Jiang se smiled and shifted her gaze back to the script. She tried to figure out how ‘Su Yi’ would feel in the next scene.
Tao cen would attend all of her important scenes. Similarly, Jiang se would also come to watch and learn from Tao cen’s scenes.
Only by knowing one’s enemy and oneself would one be able to perform better. This was especially so since the two of them happened to be acting opposite each other in this movie. In Jiang SE’s opinion, this subtle hostile atmosphere was necessary.
Huo Zhiming was taking notes for the next scene. When Tao cen sat down, many staff members tried to approach and greet him, but Huo Zhiming did not seem to notice.
He raised his wrist to look at the time. It was already 1:40 p.m. There were still nearly 20 minutes before the official shooting.
Tao cen noticed the watch on Huo Zhiming’s wrist. It was a very old style. The silver strap was polished until it was shiny. No matter how well it was maintained, one could still see the traces of time. Some of the carved patterns on it were a little blurry.
“Director Huo, you’re a nostalgic person.”
Tao cen said with a smile. When Huo Zhiming heard her, he lifted his glasses with a pen in his hand.
He turned to look at Tao cen and pondered for a while. He followed her gaze and looked at his watch. He naturally understood what she meant.
“Old friend, it’s still working, and it’s accurate.”
When it came to movies, this eccentric and eccentric old man was not that annoying. He pointed at his watch with the tip of his pen and said with a little pride, ”
I’ll adjust it every day. It’s no worse than any famous brand now. I can use it for another ten years without a problem.
As he spoke, he even tenderly rubbed his sleeve to wipe the watch cover. Tao cen saw his action and chuckled softly.
“You’re making notes for the next scene?”
She glanced at the notebook in Huo Zhiming’s hand. Contrary to his strange temper, Huo Zhiming’s handwriting was very good.
The handwriting was strong and powerful, and it was obvious that only people who had been immersed in this field for a long time could have such a skill. The plot of ‘Su Yi’ was written on it.
Tao cen had also read the script of ” suspect ” by heart. Other than the lines that Shen xuanran had to memorize, she had also watched the movie’s plot many times. She knew what scene Jiang se would be acting in for the next scene.
It wasn’t a secret, but Huo Zhiming put his pen into his notebook and put it between his fingers. He said with a faint smile, ”
“Yup,” The frame of his glasses slid to both sides of his nose, revealing a pair of wrinkled eyes, as if nothing could escape his eyes.
Tao cen pursed his lips and revealed a faint smile.
if I’m not mistaken, Jiang SE’s going to be acting in the next scene. She’s going to be shooting the preparation scene before Su Yi’s ‘big event’, right? ”
“Yes, that’s right,” Huo Zhiming responded again. Tao cen’s eyes were still on the notebook in Huo Zhiming’s hand.
this scene is mainly to show Su Yi’s cautious and smart side. When she spoke, she put her legs together and even pulled the collar of her ginger-colored trench coat. She had the aura of Shen xuanran from ” suspect “.
Wu Chunhe received a ‘death notice’. After investigation, the police found that Wu Chunhe had a black mark in his early years. He had framed someone through illegal means, causing the victim to hang himself.
When she talked about the plot, her expression was serious. Huo Zhiming also stopped smiling and nodded. He listened to Tao cen and continued, ”
“If the ‘death notice’ is true and not a prank, if someone really wanted Wu Chunhe dead, then su MU’s daughter, Su Yi, would be the most suspicious person. She was very smart and had excellent results in college. With her own efforts, she was selected as an exchange student during her time in school and went abroad to further her studies. She was signed by a big company as soon as she returned to the country.” Tao cen tidied her hair and got into character in a second. It was as if Shen xuanran had really appeared in her life. Even without the camera and lighting, she still acted naturally and did not let anyone out of character.
she was able to endure such a huge incident and graduate successfully. This shows that Su Yi is a woman with a strong will.
Huo Zhiming nodded again. His interest was piqued by Tao cen’s words. The Assistant Director looked at the time. It was already 1:45 A. M. Jiang se would officially start filming soon.
By right, Huo Zhiming should be doing the preparation work before the shooting, confirming and adjusting the lighting and other positions again. However, he still sat there and didn’t move. The Assistant Director couldn’t help but step forward and remind him, ”
“Teacher Huo, Huahua.”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Huo Zhiming raised his right hand, signaling him to keep quiet for the time being. Then, he made a gesture for Tao cen to continue.
while we were investigating whether Su Yi wrote those ‘death notices’, another murder happened in Wang Jin at the hotel. A man was killed in the hotel.
The early stage of the movie was a hint to the audience, asking them to connect this murder case with the suspect of the ‘Wu Chunhe notice of death’ incident, Su Yi.
However, after checking the crime scene, they couldn’t find any information related to Su Yi.
The police collected the fingerprints, hair, blood, and fiber at the scene, but they couldn’t find Su Yi’s shadow. The next scene that they were filming had a huge connection to this matter.
For Jiang SE’s scene in the afternoon, she would be wearing a bathrobe and removing the hair on her legs and arms after she came out of the shower.
It was precisely because of these reasons that this scene appeared to be of utmost importance.
assuming that Su Yi is the suspect in the Windy hotel’s murder case, the fact that her hair wasn’t found at the scene and the way she shaved off her hair can indeed prove that Su Yi is a very cautious person. Tao cen spoke for a long time but did not bring up the main topic. The Assistant Director was already a little anxious.
The others did not understand why Tao cen would suddenly discuss the plot with Huo Zhiming at such a time.
Even song Yi, who had come with them, was puzzled. Tao cen paused for a long time when she said this. She looked up at Jiang se. She had already changed into a bathrobe and her long hair was wet. The script supervisor was still explaining things to take note of for the next scene. She was listening attentively.
The bathroom that had been set up at the last minute was already steaming. If one listened carefully, they could even hear the sound of water dripping.
Jiang SE’s lithe figure was reflected in the mirror. She did not have any makeup on. Her bare face was so tender that one could squeeze water out of it. The skin on her calf was as smooth as cream. Her slippers did not reduce her presence at all.
Her silky black silk dress was still dripping water as it clung to her back. From Tao cen’s angle, she could see that the bathrobe’s belt was tied around her slim waist. A part of Jiang SE’s long hair was exposed at the side of her waist. Water droplets were still dripping down her hair and into the bathrobe.
Tao cen’s eyes revealed a look of admiration. Even a woman like her would find such a beauty beautiful. She was as pure as a lotus flower emerging from clear water. How much did that thick long hair add to her beauty?
She reached out and touched the ends of her hair. Tao cen’s hair quality was very good. As a woman, especially an actress who relied on her appearance to make a living, Tao cen cherished her appearance more than the average person. She spent a lot of money on maintaining her hair every year. Each strand of hair was clearly defined and reached her waist. It was permed into a big wave style, full of charm.
All women had an inexplicable sense of concern for their own hair. It would take at least three to four years to grow hair as long as Jiang SE’s.
She had heard that Xia Chaoqun had contacted a famous France shampoo brand for her. That was an opportunity that many foreign female celebrities were fighting for. Tao cen was also fighting for it with all her might.
This time, Xia Chaoqun did not accompany Jiang se to the set to film. Instead, he flew to France to discuss the endorsement deal with the shampoo brand’s headquarters.
Zhou Sheng, who was in the company, told her that there was a high chance that Xia Chaoqun would be the spokesperson for the shampoo brand on behalf of Jiang se. Firstly, she had been in contact with the shampoo brand for a few years. The brand had also tested Jiang se for a long time. More than two years ago, when she was filming ” God’s salvation “, she had been observing the possibility of Jiang se becoming the brand’s spokesperson.
A few days ago, when Jiang SE’s commercial for leopard was exposed, one of the scenes caught the attention of the person in charge of the shampoo brand.
Before Jiang se got on leopard, it implied that she would untie her suit jacket, remove her high heels, and remove her hair clip. The moment her hair fell to the ground, the person in charge of the shampoo brand thought that Jiang se was so attractive that he could not look away.
Xia Chaoqun had taken advantage of this situation and realized that there was a possibility of them coming to an agreement. That was why he had flown to France.
Huo Zhiming was still waiting for Tao cen to continue. The staff around them wanted to say something but stopped. Tao cen knew that but he allowed himself to be distracted.
She also recalled the commercial Jiang se had shot for leopard. At the end of the film, Elysees had chosen to leave gracefully. That kind of carefreeness went against her beliefs.
After the incident, a reporter named Tao Tao from Dragon Travel Studio wrote, ” Using advertisements to illustrate human nature. If Tao cen was one day faced with the same situation as Elysees, what would she choose?
Perhaps many people would be curious about this question. After all, time spared no man, and the student would always surpass the master.
As she grew older, there would still be outstanding juniors other than Jiang se. Sooner or later, they would take her place.
Some people always thought that people should follow the will of heaven, be tactful, admit defeat at the right time, and quit when they were successful. They thought that it was a proper and elegant behavior, and the choice that most people would make.
However, she was different from those people. She would overcome all obstacles and fight until she was exhausted!
“She’s a really beautiful girl,”
Tao cen smiled and complimented her. She pointed in Jiang SE’s direction and spoke without holding back, as if she was not afraid that someone else would hear what she said.
you’re on the right track. Su Yi shaved the hair on his arms and legs. He was careful not to leave any evidence of his ‘crime’. However, director Huo, you’ve neglected one point.
At the mention of plot and logic, Huo Zhiming’s expression became much more serious.
“What is it?”
“The hair on her arms and legs have been shaved clean, but she still has hair.”
She chuckled, her voice was a little soft, which made people shiver.
perhaps you don’t understand women very well, especially long-haired women. No matter how healthy their scalps are, the amount of hair they lose every day is still beyond your imagination.
Huo Zhiming was stunned for a moment and seemed to be deep in thought. Tao cen continued, ”
“Since Su Yi wanted to make preparations, he should have made more preparations. To leave no traces at the crime scene, just shaving off the hair won’t do. You have to shave off the hair too. If he wants to show the uniqueness of his character, he might only need to shave his leg hair to show his ‘determination’ to take revenge. It also wouldn’t show the uniqueness and complexity of Su Yi’s character.”
Tao cen had been talking for a long time, and it was only now that he finally made it clear.
so, you’re saying that we’ll have to style Jiang SE’s bald head first before preparing a wig for her to cut off bit by bit? ”
The Assistant Director spoke rashly. Tao cen ignored him and waited for Huo Zhiming’s decision.
After spending some time with him, she had a certain understanding of Huo Zhiming’s temperament. He was serious and competitive.
For the first scene of ” suspect, ” Huo Zhiming had to film it over and over again because of a small rock. He refused to stop the filming. It was only when Jiang se subconsciously walked around the rock at the end that the scene was considered over in his eyes.
He liked realistic things. If he took his suggestion for this scene and wanted Jiang se to ‘shave’ her hair to show Su Yi’s determination and unparalleled willpower, would he do as the Assistant Director had said and let the makeup artist temporarily style Jiang se with a bald head, put on a wig, and cut a small part of her hair to fool the audience in order to produce a scene that satisfied him?
Tao cen’s eyes were filled with mockery. Would this stubborn old man’s principles when it came to filming change because he valued Jiang se so much?
She crossed her legs and was no longer as righteous as Shen xuanran. She looked like she was waiting for a good show.
“But wouldn’t this delay time?”
The Assistant Director didn’t understand Tao cen’s intention, but Song Yi understood. She was taking Huo Zhiming’s personality into account.
Her suggestion was not a brainless attempt to frame Jiang se. On the contrary, it was very reasonable.
If it were any other director, they might not have paid attention to such a small matter. They might have done as the Assistant Director said, using the montage’s shooting technique, cutting a part with a wig, letting the audience imagine Su Yi’s bald head, and then connecting it with the other plots.
However, he was Huo Zhiming. Everyone in the crew had experienced his seriousness and persistence during the two months they had worked with him. In his opinion, this method might not be shocking enough.
He had already lowered his head in deep thought, clearly considering the feasibility of Tao cen’s words.
In the eyes of Huo Zhiming’s assistant, such a scene was a very scary thing.
