She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

As the sky was getting darker, the scene had not been passed even after five NGs in a row, and the atmosphere of the entire crew became turbulent.

The entertainment industry itself is a circle that attaches great importance to seniority. There is an ecological contempt chain based on seniority everywhere - the film set is the most severe among them. The hierarchy is so distinct that it is no different from some feudal families in the old society.

Cui Yao is not a professional actor, and she started out as a short play actor. She has no backing or connections, and her agency is a small, unknown workshop. It was only thanks to the short play that made a small splash in the first half of the year that she had the opportunity to audition for the role of Xie Qiao.

With little experience and no background, she naturally became a lower-level figure in the crew's food chain. Just like at this moment, even the lighting crew dared to openly show her impatience.

Su Lingxi noticed the lighting teacher's expression and paused slightly while drinking water.

"You need to react faster and overcome your subconscious desire to reach out to block it..." Zhao Linsheng was discussing the play with Cui Yao with a frown on his face. When he saw Su Lingxi coming towards him, he immediately paused his long speech.

Seeing the restlessness between his brows, Su Lingxi said carefully: "Director Zhao, why don't we let everyone rest for a while before filming? That way, they may be in better condition."

Zhao Linsheng frowned, thought about it, then nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere of the entire crew relaxed.

While the others were resting, Cui Yao took the initiative to find Su Lingxi.

"Thank you for helping me out just now." Her eyes were red and her voice was slightly nasal. "I, I didn't mean to hold you back..."

Su Lingxi handed her a tissue and interrupted her: "You didn't hold us back, you just didn't find the right state for a moment. You performed very well in every scene before. No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes sometimes."

Cui Yao wiped her tears and said, "Really? Do you really think I performed well?"

Su Lingxi met her eyes that hinted at expectation and nodded slightly.

To be honest, Cui Yao's acting skills are not inferior even when compared with those of professional students of the same age.

Although the performance style is a bit formulaic, it is very contagious, and the small expressions designed in daily scenes are also very well done. Overall it can get 70 points.

The only flaw is the action scenes.

"Your acting skills are totally fine, but the burden is too heavy." Su Lingxi said bluntly, "You pay too much attention to your micro-expressions, which makes the performance obvious and distracts attention from the body movements."

"You should have seen Director Zhao's previous works. His camera language always hits the nail on the head, creating realistic, neat and exciting fighting scenes. Even when it comes to killing, it can burst out with shocking vitality."

"If we want to achieve realism, we must first discard those redundant facial expressions. We must have the same facial expressions as normal people when fighting. We should not think about how the camera will shoot, but really get into the role."

The so-called giving a sweet date after a blow - first give the other party affirmation, and then point out the problem, which will make it easier for people to accept.

Su Lingxi's tone was calm from beginning to end, but the more Cui Yao listened, the more she felt her face burning.

When she was performing in skits in the past, directors often praised her for her meticulous control of facial expressions. She has always believed that this is her strength and wants to put all her effort into showing her strengths.

I didn't expect that today I would end up making things worse...

In fact, this is not just Cui Yao's problem. A considerable number of expressionist actors in the industry face the same problem as her: the roles they interpret are too carefully designed and the performance traces are too heavy.

If an expressionist actor does a good job, he can have many faces, like Shen Man, who can play any role well and can enter and exit the role quickly; if he does a bad job, he will just stick to the formula and the feeling of "acting" will be very obvious.

Cui Yao's level is above average among expressionist actors, and most of the time she doesn't make people feel out of place or awkward.

However, once she steps out of her comfort zone, her rhythm becomes disrupted.

"I feel like I can't control my body freely, especially when I'm doing some large movements. I can't always get the timing right." Cui Yao sighed, his expression showing obvious distress.

There were some things she didn't dare to say directly to the director, but she could definitely say them to Su Lingxi, who had helped her out many times.

After all, the director is like their immediate boss on the set. Which employee dares to complain directly to their leader?

Although Director Zhao usually appears gentle and polite to others, every time he sits in front of the camera, his entire temperament changes instantly, as if he is a fanatical believer in the camera, wishing to shoot for days and nights without sleeping.

Even if she had ten times the courage, she would not dare to provoke him.

Su Lingxi pondered for a moment and gave his own suggestion: "It is actually very simple to solve this problem. Just improve your physical fitness and exercise more."

"If you want to control your body, you first need to control every muscle in your body. Improving core strength is the key, and it's best to exercise every day."

Although there are not many scenes where the characters Xie Qiao and Gu Wenjia fight head-on, they still have to learn a few basic action sets.

Even Wu He, who has always been lazy, insisted on exercising for more than a month before joining the crew in order to improve shooting efficiency.

So Su Lingxi didn't expect that Cui Yao actually didn't make any preparations and just joined the crew and started filming directly.

In fact, Cui Yao didn't stop exercising because she was lazy, but her way of thinking was still stuck in the past and she didn't think about this level.

In the past, when it came to short dramas, it would often take half a month or a month to finish a drama, and the entire crew from top to bottom were busy working. Even if there were action scenes, she usually only needed to strike a fixed pose, and then various editing methods would be added in the later stage, and she didn't need to do it herself.

Therefore, Cui Yao habitually thought that the "small amount of action scenes" in this drama were of the same standard as previous short dramas, and did not spend more time preparing.

Seeing the confusion in her expression, Su Lingxi added: "If you have time, you can do basic training with me every morning."

Cui Yao's eyes lit up. "Is this really okay? Would it be too much trouble for you?"

Su Lingxi smiled and shook her head, "No trouble, I was going to train anyway."

The character played by Cui Yao is one of the main characters. If she performs poorly, it will also affect the quality of the entire drama.

Su Lingxi knew very well that "Player's Self-Save Guide" was her first TV drama as the lead role, and there were many people in the circle waiting for her to fall from a high place.

If the final results do not meet expectations, she will probably receive hundreds of mocking comments in one night.

After all, it's just a matter of helping out, so why not do it?
