Li Ruo watched Mei Zihan's performance from beginning to end, and finally understood why Han He valued this actor so much.
Mei Zihan has a special temperament that can quickly attract the attention of the audience. Such characteristics will become a special charm after being presented on the big screen.
Some actors are good-looking and have good acting skills, but they can't be popular, not because they have a popular face, or because they are not recognizable, but because they have nothing to attract the audience. Such things can be innate, or can be formed through acquired packaging.
This kind of thing can be said to be aura, and it can also be said to be a trait.
Mei Zihan undoubtedly possessed such attractive qualities.
In terms of acting skills, Mei Zihan's skills can be regarded as above-average, and he can be regarded as very good at his age. The one-second face change just now can better reflect his control over his facial expressions. But that alone is not enough.
The focus of this scene is undoubtedly on Xiaoyaosheng, but in terms of the number of lines, it is still not as many as the protagonist Qin Xuechi. Xu Ji'an is an actor who is very good at stealing scenes, not to mention that he is still the absolute protagonist in this play. But in the scene just now, he couldn't take away Xiaoyaosheng's gaze.
After Mei Zihan's Xiaoyao pretended to be dead, the corners of his mouth seemed to be upturned, which seemed to be smiling. Fans who have read the original work will know that this is because Xiaoyaosheng knows that Qin Xuechi will deal with those elders in order to avenge him. Passers-by who have not read the original work will think that this is because Xiaoyaosheng saved his brother and is happy. After coming out, these passersby's impression of Xiaoyaosheng will undoubtedly be greatly deepened.
Mei Zihan didn't get up from the ground until Han He yelled "Okay", as if he was not affected by the emotions in the scene at all. On the contrary, Xu Ji'an, because he was a little involved in crying just now, his face is still a little dark now.
Li Ruo's gaze stayed on Mei Zihan's cheerful face for a while, and then he left as if nothing had happened.
Being able to play so quickly means that Mei Zihan didn't put all his heart into the role just now, so he was able to withdraw so quickly.
But Mei Zihan's performance just now was already better than many actors who devoted themselves to it.
Sure enough, Director Han's gaze was precise. This little guy is very smart and very smart, but it may be difficult to expect him to love this role in this movie from the bottom of his heart.
But having said that, every director hopes that the actor can devote himself to the role wholeheartedly, but for an actor, such a full-hearted dedication once or twice a year is more than enough, otherwise it will cause too much harm to the body. Mei Zihan is just making a movie for the first time, what more can he ask for with such a performance
"Wow, Brother Xu, you were crying so much that I wanted to get up and tell you that I'm not dead yet." Mei Zihan sighed with a smile, "It's really moving."
"Go." Xu Ji'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is the only crying scene for me. After this, you can rest for a few days, and you only need the last two decisive battles for the rest."
"I'm a supporting role." Mei Zihan laughed, "I can relax from now on. Oh, I've been filming for the past few days, and my bones are sore from filming. I don't know if there will be any meat in the box lunch later. , I'm hungry."
"... You're still young, you can eat a few bites of meat." Xu Ji'an sighed, "I'm a few years older than you, so I can only eat less, or I won't be able to lose weight even more."
Who said that it is very hard for actresses to lose weight for the show, but it is also hard for male actors. Especially Xu Ji'an, who is not good enough in appearance and expects to make up for it with his body. Being able to eat one more hard-boiled egg every day is a show of mercy from the manager.
Mei Zihan also sighed when he heard the words, being an actor is hard.
"Xiaomei, come here." Han He looked at the camera again, and waved to Mei Zihan.
"Director, I'm here." Mei Zihan hurried to Han He's side, glanced at Li Ruo shyly by the way, and then stayed beside Han He quietly as if she didn't know anything.
"Today's moonlight is not bad. After eating, the scene where you crawl out of the soil to restore the leader of the Demon Cult was also filmed."
"Okay." Mei Zihan readily agreed.
"Well, there will be a scene with Qin Xuechi's mother tomorrow. I think you look pretty tender, so why don't you look for a young actor, and do it yourself." Han He took a look at Mei Zihan and continued.
"Okay." This Mei Zihan has no way to refuse, so he can do it by himself, anyway, it's just one or two shots.
etc.
"Director Han, do you mean that I can shoot with my... and senior Li Ruo tomorrow?" Mei Zihan asked pretendingly ignoring the goddess beside her as much as possible.
"... It's just that you both appeared in the same place. You don't have any lines, you just look at each other, understand?" Han He glanced at Mei Zihan and said.
"Rounding up is considered cooperation. Director, remember to take better pictures of me." Mei Zihan rubbed his hands secretly, feeling a little excited.
"When did I make you look ugly? Go to dinner." Han He said unceremoniously.
"Yes, yes, yes." Mei Zihan's brows were beaming now, even if Han He kicked him, he wouldn't be angry, let alone just such a sentence
"This kid is really your fan." Han He laughed, "How about it, his acting is not bad."
"That's right." Li Ruo nodded, "I have nothing to look for in the past few days to see the films he made before? It's strange, I haven't heard of such a good actor at all? A Lin even said a few days ago Set up a studio to recruit actors, and asked me if there was any suitable one. If it had been earlier, I would have recommended Mei Zihan."
"Ahem, just watch "My Stepfather" for his previous films." Han He coughed, "You don't need to watch the others."
Li Ruo was a little surprised, "He used to make bad movies, didn't he?"
"It's not just bad." Han He didn't even want to mention it, "If Chun Qiusheng hadn't appointed him to play Xiaoyaosheng at the beginning, no matter how high his ratings were, I wouldn't want to use him. Hey, I hope this "Blood Pond Picture" "After the release, let more directors see him."
The things that Mei Zihan acted in the past are simply a disgrace to the TV drama industry, and it is fortunate that he can still climb up now!
If Mei Zihan had to say what he was most satisfied with about this crew, it would undoubtedly be the crew's box lunch.
Mei Zihan used to eat single-digit boxed lunches, so let alone the taste, it might as well be fried by himself. Later, after he lived with Jiang Ying, his taste was adopted. Although Jiang Ying didn't give him meat, some dishes still tasted like meat.
However, the price of the boxed lunch given by the crew is estimated to be 30 or more, and it comes with soup, which tastes very good.
Even if the amount of braised pork is a little less, this is the real meat.
For this reason, Mei Zihan worked extra hard. Even if there was no drama for him, he would stay on the set and never go out to find work.
"Brother Mei, come here, I'm going to trouble you again today." Zhang Yunyi counted the meat in the lunch box, left a piece for herself, and gave the rest to Mei Zihan.
"Yunyi, you are already very thin, you can still eat an extra piece." Mei Zihan sighed slightly, and handed over her lunch box.
"No, Sister Zhang will come to check later." Zhang Yunyi shook her head, "She has a scale with her, and she knows if I take an extra bite. And I want to act as a model in the next play, so I have to be thinner. "
Mei Zihan looked at her with pity.
The little girl Zhang Yunyi is 1.68 meters tall, has a thin waist and big breasts, and weighs less than ninety catties. She is considered malnourished on an ordinary person. But because of her big breasts, her arms often look thick when she wears a dress, and she is scolded by many people for being fat. Now she eats less and less.
A piece of braised pork that is as big as a thumb is eaten every meal, and a little bit is ground with the teeth, and one-fifth of a box of lunch is eaten before it can no longer be eaten.
Fortunately, I didn't follow the idol route, otherwise, how hungry would I be
Mei Zihan secretly rejoiced.
After dinner, Mei Zihan was about to film the scene where he regained his identity.
After becoming the leader, Mei Zihan's clothes turned white, and the cuffs of his sleeves were trimmed with gold thread. He wore a white jade crown on his head and a piece of blood jade around his waist, which looked elegant and noble.
Even if he becomes the leader of the Demon Cult, Xiaoyaosheng's appearance is more like a noble son, rather than the black clothes and red clothes of ordinary villains. His makeup is lighter than that of the previous scholar. When a scholar is dressing up, he still needs to make the outline softer, but now that he has recovered his identity, he only uses an eyebrow pencil to make his eyebrows sharper.
"Tomorrow Li Ruo will come to the set to make a guest appearance and shoot the scene where the Qin family destroys the family. Please pay attention." Before work was over at night, Han He gathered everyone together and said suddenly.
"Senior Li Ruo came so soon?" Zhang Yunyi's eyes lit up, "I haven't seen her before, I didn't expect to see a real person."
"Are you Li Ruo's fan too?" Mei Zihan couldn't help asking when he heard this.
"It's not really a fan, but I've always wanted to meet Senior Li Ruo." Zhang Yunyi stuck out her tongue, "You also know that I debuted in Director Zhou's play, and Director Zhou often praised Senior Li Ruo in front of me. Yes, let me learn more in the future. But Senior Li Ruo is rarely in China, and I haven’t seen him yet.”
"I'll see you tomorrow." Mei Zihan understood Zhang Yunyi's meaning. In fact, the little girl was used to being praised by others, and she was a little bit unwilling to admit defeat. She wanted to see for herself how capable the actress who was praised by everyone was. That's all.
"Hee hee, don't talk about me, look at Brother Xu." Zhang Yunyi poked Mei Zihan's waist, signaling Mei Zihan to look towards Xu Ji'an.
Xu Ji'an's face was a little serious, as if he was very nervous.
"Let me tell you, no rumors are allowed." Zhang Yunyi is still a young girl after all, very good at such pink gossip, she said softly, "You don't know, in fact, a long time ago, Li Ruo was still a match for Brother Xu. But senior Li Ruo became popular immediately, and Brother Xu fell silent instead."
"This kind of thing is normal in the entertainment industry." Mei Zihan couldn't understand.
"It's more than that." Zhang Yunyi laughed, "They had scandals before."
Although this was a long time ago, who made the gap between the two people's status too big now? As long as Li Ruo was a little unhappy, Xu Ji'an would be frightened.
For Xu Ji'an, this movie can be regarded as the best commercial movie he can receive so far.
Li Ruo is now the number one actress in the industry, and she is the only one who can be angry with others, and no one else can be angry with her. She has been able to go all the way to the present, and there are rumors and rumors about Li Ruo all over the sky. Even people in the circle can't tell the truth from the fake, who dares to provoke her
It is natural for Xu Ji'an to be nervous now.
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yunyi saw that Mei Zihan hadn't moved at all, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, "Aren't you surprised that senior Li Ruo's scandals can be counted on one hand?"
She thought that Mei Zihan would respond in kind, but this was the gossip she managed to find out.
Mei Zihan smiled and shook his head.
What's so surprising about this, my manager dared to date Li Ruo and cheat on her!
The author has something to say: Liu Tianyi: Damn, how long has it been? Why do you still drag me out to whip the corpse from time to time
Jiang Ying who has not left the country: Although I have not left the country, I know that Mei Zihan has been thinking about me!
