The plot of the scene to be fild later starts as Shen Yao walks into this hair salon.
He gets off the motorcycle, looking very handso, and Zhou Yun and the other girls must show that they are interested in this man.
Wan Zhiliang instructed: "Yuqian, be cuter, you can express your facial expressions and emotions a bit more, as if you’ve seen a really handso guy that you like a lot."
Liu Yuqian laughed and said, "Don’t worry, director, I will definitely act naturally. Brother Shen is indeed the handso guy I really like!"
Shen Yao joked about himself with a laugh: "Calling a handso guy? I’m already an old hand."
Wan Zhiliang looked towards ng Ran and said, "ng Ran, you need to keep so of your aloofness, but not restrained, you should convey a clear ssage, but not take the initiative."
ng Ran nodded and said, "Okay."
Finally, Wan Zhiliang looked towards Zhou Yun, smiled, and said, "Teacher Zhou, do you have any thoughts?"
Zhou Yun, flattered, hurriedly shook her hand and said, "Don’t call ’teacher,’ Director. Zhenxi and Brother Shen are the real teachers here, I’m nowhere close, you scared ."
Wan Zhiliang said: "Your acting is good, it’s well-known."
Zhou Yun: "No, no, don’t say that. I haven’t been acting for long; I still need a lot of guidance from you all, Director. Do you have any suggestions?"
Wan Zhiliang looked at her in surprise and asked, "Do you still need to give you advice?"
"Oh, Director, it’s my first ti playing such a role. I’m not sure about it," Zhou Yun repeatedly expressed her attitude.
Wan Zhiliang then said: "The woman you’re playing, nad Dong Zhii, cos from the countryside and is sowhat flamboyant. She doesn’t get along with others in the hair salon either, but she isn’t a gloomy person. Even if she doesn’t sh well with others, she doesn’t see it as her problem. She is soone who believes she can turn heads one day. So when you see Shen Yao, although you are also very moved and think this man is handso, there’s a bit of reserve in you, a reserve that is different from ng Ran’s passiveness. ng Ran’s role is passive because she is confident in her beauty, waiting for Shen Yao to approach her. Your reserve and passive attitude co from your belief that it doesn’t matter, Shen Yao is handso, but he isn’t soone you must obtain."
Zhou Yun listened to Wan Zhiliang’s explanation, and found that his views coincided with hers.
"I understand now, then when I see Brother Shen, what should I do? The difficulty I feel now is that I usually think highly of myself, but my appearance is very plain, which creates a strong sense of conflict. I’m worried I might accidentally portray a gloomy personality."
The key point was that Dong Zhii wasn’t that kind of person.
Hearing Zhou Yun’s words, Wan Zhiliang’s eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "The reason for this contradiction is because the initial setting of this character was a narcissist, then it was written as an ordinary and plain character, and finally combined into this version. I initially thought about changing her plain appearance, but doing so would make this character very monotone—marked by only one trait, very stereotypical."
"Hmm," Zhou Yun nodded, "The contradiction in this character adds depth, adding more implications, it’s a pity that there isn’t much screen ti to show that."
She smiled helplessly.
Wan Zhiliang waved his hand and said, "Actually, it’s good this way. If we really made such a character the protagonist for a film, it could only be shot as an art film. But in a cody road movie, when she becos one of the characters Brother Shen encounters on the road, it generates codic elents. Good codies are unexpected joys amidst conflicts. We don’t have to analyze why Dong Zhii is so narcissistic in the film, or why she wraps that narcissistic heart in a plain appearance, but through Shen Yao’s eyes, let the audience’s impression of Dong Zhii shift twice. Each shift, with its before and after contrast, forms the cody."
Zhou Yun realized Wan Zhiliang indeed had solid ideas, not one of those uninspired directors.
A director’s worst fear is lacking ideas, only able to produce a bland qualifying work.
Zhou Yun and the others rehearsed twice according to Wan Zhiliang’s ideas.
