Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 826 - 828: Dispute

The agent originally thought they would have to wait until tomorrow to talk, seeing her recover so quickly, he didn’t know whether to be worried or happy, always feeling that Deng Zhaoyan seemed a bit neurotic.

Instinctively, the agent had thoughts of quitting.

But now was not the time to think about that, he suppressed his thoughts and focused intently on discussing with Deng Zhaoyan.

On the other side, a small island in country M.

Today’s shoot was a bit bumpy, originally, Stanlanca was shooting just fine, but an assistant’s phone call called him away. Before leaving, his expression was quite grave, making Jinxia and Angus somewhat worried, fearing there was a problem with the crew.

The next shoot was temporarily taken over by the assistant director.

Every director has several assistants around to nurture. These assistants are mostly rich or noble, after all, without some background, it’s impossible to be kept by an internationally renowned director.

However, for an international director, it’s already pretty good to have you by his side, whatever skills you learn from him depend entirely on yourself.

This assistant under Stanlanca hasn’t touched the camera since the start of filming, this time he seized the rare opportunity to handle the lens, surely he would treat it with seriousness and meticulousness.

This assistant had good intentions, but unfortunately, his skill couldn’t match his intentions. After five consecutive NGs in one scene, Angus’s face turned dark, and he was the first to explode.

He directly walked out of the shooting scene, leaving to rest!

The assistant director frowned, "Angus, Angus! Get back here, I haven’t called for a break yet!"

Foreigners are just not subtle, Angus turned to look at the assistant director and directly held up a middle finger to him!

Damn, this is going to be a fight!

The assistant director immediately lost it, also shirked his duty, if the male lead doesn’t act, how is this film going to continue!

In his mind, He Jinxia was dispensable, the male lead’s scenes were the most important, so during filming, he didn’t pick on the female lead much, he just kept focusing on Angus.

Since the assistant director took over the shooting for an hour, Angus hadn’t completed a shoot without more than 3 NGs. Every scene, even if it’s just a three-second take, was nitpicked over and over, so he couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

He Jinxia watched as the assistant director angrily walked toward Angus, feeling something was amiss, promptly walking out of the shooting scene to check the situation.

The assistant director stood in front of Angus, saying seriously, "You’re an actor, it’s still filming time, go back and act!"

Angus smirked, again unceremoniously giving the assistant director the middle finger, "I’m an actor, I’ll only act in scenes the director can shoot, if even the director doesn’t know how to shoot it, how am I supposed to act?"

The assistant director restrained his urge to hit someone, his face turning red, "I know how to shoot it, just get back! I’m aiming for perfection, your scenes clearly have a lot of room to improve!"

Angus stepped back a bit, putting some distance between them, still said disdainfully, "I really doubt your professional ability, Stanlanca never made me NG this many times, you’re even more critical than the main director, I don’t trust you!"

Assistant Director: "It’s obvious you weren’t serious during the shoot, you didn’t show a professional attitude, so I had to keep pointing things out!"

Angus: "It’s your lack of skill, scenes that can clearly pass are nitpicked by you to prove your capability, making me NG several times to get it right, you’re just an amateur!"

Assistant Director: "It’s you who’s not serious, you didn’t show the focused attitude you have when Stanlanca is here, don’t push your mistakes on me, after all, I have shot a TV series and a film before!"

Angus sneered, extremely sarcastically, "Pray tell, how did that TV series and film of yours perform, didn’t they bomb so hard they couldn’t even recoup costs?"

The assistant director’s face immediately turned sour, clenching his fist tightly.

He Jinxia sensed things weren’t going well, immediately interrupted, "Angus, you’re emotionally unstable now, take a ten-minute break and come back to shoot after that!"

Angus was about to say something, but He Jinxia stepped in front of him, blocking the assistant director from Angus.

Her expression was serious, coldly staring at Angus, saying, "I know you’re frustrated with all the NGs, but as a professional actor, you must be able to adjust your emotions at any time and immerse yourself in the character, that’s the ability an actor should have.

Now you have 10 minutes to stabilize your emotions, and after that, we continue shooting."

She repeated, "We are actors; shooting is what actors should do. As for how to shoot, that’s the director’s business, actors and directors can’t replace each other.

Since Stanlanca let the assistant director take over shooting, it proves Stanlanca believes the assistant director has the ability to take over. Now that Stanlanca has gone to deal with other matters, let’s not worry him.

She shifted her stance, making sure she could see both the assistant director and Angus, sternly said, "We’ll rest for ten minutes first, after ten minutes, perform how you should, shoot how it should be shot.

No matter what, we’re all for the sake of the film, I don’t want anyone playing small tricks or forming cliques.

If you love this deserted island and want to stay a bit longer, I don’t care, but I’m still damn wanting to get out of this wilderness quickly, the mosquitoes here are simply too many!"

The assistant director’s face was originally tight, hearing this his expression softened, somewhat stiffly said, "I also think there are too many mosquitoes here, they are vicious, one bite gives you a big welt."

Not mentioning mosquitoes was fine, mentioning mosquitoes Angus saw one buzzing around his head, he hurriedly dodged and reached out with a "smack" to hit the mosquito.

The sound was abrupt, suddenly drawing the attention of the other two, Angus was a bit embarrassed as they looked at him, he held out his hand, with a smudge of mosquito blood on it.

"Uh, I was hitting a mosquito."

He Jinxia: "..."

The assistant director looked at his hand, didn’t say anything, turned and walked away.

When he had walked a little farther, He Jinxia looked left and right, seeing there were few people around, she lowered her voice to Angus:

"Don’t anger the assistant director, it’s not beneficial to go against him, he’s still in charge of the shooting now, if you upset him, be careful he continues nitpicking your performance later."

Angus frowned, reluctantly said, "I don’t even want to act in his directed scenes, scenes that could obviously pass, why is he nitpicking them, he’s simply not professional enough!"
