Chapter Fifty-Seven Sing a Song

  (Entertainment King Exchange Area: 348378480)

  "Hey, Yuanyuan, you're on camera now, tone it down a bit."

  "Willow research, naturally, just like chatting with you normally."

  "Xiao Yu, speak a bit slower, the effect will be better."

  At this time, the crew is filming a scene where Yang Tao and her three best friends are sitting together chatting, and Guo Xiaoyu also rushes to start his first shoot in two lifetimes.

  "Okay..." Liu Jiao said loudly, "Let's take a look at this scene. Now, let's take a 10-minute break and prepare for the next scene." After finishing speaking, Liu Jiao walked in front of Guo Xiaoyu and praised her, saying: "Xiaoyu, I really suspect that you are a rookie in filming, your grasp of the camera is so accurate."

  "Hmm..." Guo Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "I'm a film major after all. If I can't even grasp the camera angles, what's the point of studying?" Through yesterday's conversation, Guo Xiaoyu not only shocked everyone but also easily got familiar with the crew members. He wouldn't have dared to say something as arrogant as this before.

  After hearing Guo Xiaoyu's words, Liu Jiang burst out laughing and said: "Good kid. However, you must remember that your speech speed should be a bit slower, and also your sense of camera presence is too strong, always appearing in the lens at the first time, these need to be paid attention to." In fact, what Liu Jiang said was that Guo Xiaoyu was stealing the spotlight, no matter how well you play a supporting role, you can't steal the spotlight from the lead.

  Liu Jiang also did it for Guo Xiaoyu's own good. Fortunately, Gao Yuanyuan and Guo Xiaoyu were familiar with each other, plus her casual personality. If it were someone else who was more cautious, Guo Xiaoyu's action of snatching the spotlight would definitely be considered provocative, and in the end, Guo Xiaoyu would not have a good outcome. Liu Jiang brought it up now, and Guo Xiaoyu wasn't one to refuse, so he hastily agreed.

  Actually, Guo Xiaoyu wasn't unaware of his photogenic timing, but rather had a habit of being in front of the camera. He could even sense where the camera was without looking, all thanks to habits formed from past experiences!

  Guo Xiaoyu firmly remembered this point, and the subsequent shooting became much simpler. Originally, Guo Xiaoyu's scenes were not many, and he was mainly in a learning process. At first, Guo Xiaoyu thought that after so many years of being a director, there was nothing to learn about acting, but when he looked at it from an actor's perspective, he discovered that he really didn't know much. For example, the choice of shots - as a director, he always paid attention to everything under the lens, while as an actor, he needed to pay attention to when he should be in front of the camera, when he should leave, and when he couldn't be fully in front of the camera. These were all things that actors needed to control themselves.

  ……

  The night is quiet, the night in Beijing and Xiangyang are different. The night in Xiangyang is more lively in simpler places, while the night in Beijing is always owned by those prosperous areas, the nightlife culture in Beijing is quite famous domestically.

  Today, I took pictures for a whole day. Guo Xiaoyu benefited greatly from it and is now summarizing his gains in the hotel room. Although Guo Xiaoyu has many bad habits, he also has many good ones, one of which is taking notes. He makes it a habit to write down new things he learns, so when he's free, he can flip through them and not forget after a while.

  "Bang...bang..." Just then, a knock at the door echoed through the room.

  "Who is it? The door isn't locked, come in yourself." Guo Xiaoyu responded without even turning his head.

  "Ka cha......" Along with the sound of the door opening, Gao Yuanyuan's distinctive voice rang out: "Xiao Yu, it's me."

  "Yuanyuan sister." Guo Xiaoyu said while writing notes, "There are drinks in the fridge, help yourself if you want one."

  After a while, a hand suddenly rose in front of Guo Xiaoyu, snatched his notebook and said, "What are you writing, kid? Let me take a look."

  "Uh..." Every time he faced Gao Yuanyuan, Guo Xiaoyu had a feeling of being at a loss.

  "Come on, don't be so petty." Gao Yuanyuan smiled and went to flip through Guo Xiaoyu's notebook.

  "Hmm..." She seemed to have realized something, murmuring to herself: "When you reach a certain age, you'll understand that life is really tough. Gradually, you start to taste the flavor of loneliness, and time is pounding against your pride..."

  "How come it sounds so familiar?" Guo Xiaoyu felt more and more that something was off, the passage Huang Yuanyuan recited, he seemed to have heard it somewhere before.

  "I'm going, these aren't the lyrics I remembered." Guo Xiaoyu finally recalled that Gao Yuanyuan was looking at the theme song of "Let's Get Married" which she had written down during her boring times.

  Gao Yuanyuan finished reading and raised her notebook at Guo Xiaoyu, asking: "Xiaoyu, did you write this song?"

  "Hmm." The fact was right in front of him, and Guo Xiaoyu could only acknowledge it.

  "But why do I feel like it's so similar to our drama's style?"

  "It was originally like that." Guo Xiaoyu couldn't say that, and instead said: "This is a song I wrote after reading the script, when inspiration struck."

  "Wow, you're amazing! I see there's a musical score above, can you sing it out?"

  "Of course!" Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's admiring gaze, Guo Xiaoyu's boastful illness relapsed. Normally, he would rather die than admit that he could sing.

  As expected, showing off comes with a price. Gao Yuanyuan's notebooks rushed out at the same time, and she said to Guo Xiaoyu: "You wait."

  "Uh..." Guo Xiaoyu had a bad premonition.

  When Guo Xiaoyu saw Gao Yuanyuan bring in Huang Haibo, Liu Yang, Wang Tong, Liu Yan and Meng Yao, she knew her premonition was correct.

  Liu Jiang excitedly pulled out her notebook and said: "Xiao Yu, I heard from Yuan that this is the theme song you wrote for our play?"

  I can say it's not, obviously impossible. So Guo Xiaoyu had no choice but to admit it.

  "That's good, Yuanyuan just said you can sing it out, sing a song for us to listen, I've brought the guitar for you." Liu Jiang took out the guitar as he spoke.

  "I'm telling you guys, if you don't go experience the vibrant nightlife of Beijing, what are you doing here with me?" Complaining aside, Guo Xiaoyu picked up his guitar and strummed a few casual chords.

  As soon as Huang Haibo saw Guo Xiaoyu's a few moves, his eyes lit up. He was someone who understood guitar and just by looking at Guo Xiaoyu's moves, he knew there was hope.

  Guo Xiaoyu's guitar skills were something he had learned in this life, and he had started practicing very early on. Originally, he was planning to show off during his university days, but as it turned out, he spent his entire university career sleeping. He hadn't used his guitar skills since the last time at KTV when he sang "Look Through" for Teacher He and others. This was only his second time using them. After clearing his throat, Guo Xiaoyu's voice slowly echoed through the room.
