Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?

Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Unscripted

Tong Yan turned her head and saw a young man approaching, wearing a black down jacket, looking pale and clean, with a small beard, tied in a small mustache, wearing black round-framed glasses, looking like an artistic youth.

He walked over and extended his hand, ”I’m Jin Zhou, the director of the public service film. Miss Tong, please take care of me during this time.”

Tong Yan extended her hand to shake his, ”Hello.”

Filming a public service film is different from others; it has higher requirements for color coordination, music, and needs to be more delicate, able to resonate, and often needs to present the essence within a few minutes.

So, many TV series directors can’t make public service films without making them feel stiff and out of place.

A group of people followed Jin Zhou, including lighting technicians, photographers, etc.

This public service film tells a very simple story.

A young couple has a child soon after being together but can’t afford it, so they leave the newborn baby at the orphanage’s doorstep. Under the director’s careful care, the baby grows up.

Although many people accompany him, the child is never happy. Every time someone comes to adopt a child, he runs out to look, but always returns disappointed. He is cute, with eyes full of spirit; many people want to adopt him, but he is unwilling because he wants to wait for his parents to find him.

He doesn’t know what his biological parents look like, but he just waits, waits until he grows up, waits until he grows old.

He never gets to see his parents, not even once, before he dies.

The final subtitle is: Do not give up any life; you do not know that waiting might be their whole life.

After reading the script, Tong Yan still didn’t know what role she would play in it.

This script doesn’t need her at all.

Tong Yan raised a question.

Jin Zhou couldn’t help but laugh, ”Miss Tong, didn’t your agent tell you? You’re playing the director.”

Tong Yan: ...

Her agent really didn’t tell her.

She’s sure Brother Feng did it on purpose.

It must be to get back at her; fortunately, there was this incident today...

Even though it was a big mess, strangely, there was a bit of excitement.

Tong Yan had also considered playing the director, but she’s still young; the director should be at least in their forties or fifties, which is a big difference, even with makeup artists, but she’s still afraid she can’t handle the role.

Jin Zhou briefly mentioned some details, then began setting up the scene and selecting the most suitable young actors for filming.

The young actors were selected from among the orphans.

The filming of this piece really doesn’t need to take very long, about half a month is enough.

What will the other half month be used for?

To volunteer at the orphanage, get familiar with these children, and observe the director’s lifestyle.

Because Tong Yan just learned that this public service film doesn’t have a detailed script, only a plot outline, with a total of only a thousand words, which she had just finished reading.

This means it all comes down to her improvisation.

Lines, movements, expressions all rely on herself.

The moment Tong Yan realized this, she nearly collapsed.

She wanted to kill someone.

What kind of project did Brother Feng get her into?

There’s no worst, only worse.

But she had already signed, what could Tong Yan do, she was desperate, she could only follow through.

Acting without a script best tests an actor’s basic skills like delivering lines, acting skills, etc.

Tong Yan sat blankly under the corridor, watching a group of kids play, as the sun set and the sky grew dark, when a shadow fell in front of her, she didn’t even raise her head, ”Mr. Han, you’re still here?”
