Views:

Although history is different, there are always some similarities.

This Hengdian is indeed the same place as the Hengdian Film and Television City where Rong Xu often filmed in his previous life, but after entering the film and television city, Rong Xu couldn't help but be surprised by the rich variety of film and television equipment.

With more diverse shooting venues and a wider film and television area, this film and television city is more prosperous than the one in Rong Xu's previous life, which also makes the filming more convenient for the crew.

Rong Xu came to this film and television city for the first time, but the crew of "Chasing the Deer" and actors such as Tang Menglan and Dong Zheng have already filmed here countless times. Everyone quickly got used to the atmosphere of filming here, and the filming progress jumped forward by leaps and bounds.

Early in the morning, Rong Xu got up early and took advantage of the bright sky to come to the crew and start putting on makeup.

Tang Menglan and Dong Zheng have their own personal makeup artists, but Rong Xu does not. Today he is shooting the first scene, so he has to get up early.

Makeup artist Sister Xu gently applied foundation on this face with a light technique. After the foundation makeup was applied to the fair and flat skin, the brilliance was reflected like white porcelain, and the pores were so small that they were almost invisible.

Rong Xu's skin is good and his eyelashes are thick and slender, but that doesn't mean he can go without makeup.

In front of a high-resolution lens, everyone's shortcomings will be infinitely expanded, and most of their advantages will be ignored.

If you want to become an actor, unless you are a real strength group and climb up step by step through hardships, having a good appearance is an essential element. For example, the lens will make people's faces appear larger, so in fact, most celebrities have extremely small faces, and it is not uncommon for small faces to be slapped.

After half an hour, the complex makeup is all finished. At first glance, Rong Xu doesn't seem to be wearing makeup, but under the camera, these phoenix eyes will appear more clear and restrained, making people unable to help condense on his eyes at first glance, and the face is also modified to be more three-dimensional.

Sister Xu said with emotion: "It's been six days since I came to Hengdian, and I haven't gotten any acne. Xiaoxu, keep it up. It's been hard to shoot recently, and I often stay up late to add more. Don't be like Ye Qiao, who has a acne on your forehead. This kind of temporary The pimples that grow out disappear quickly, but they are too big to cover up.”

Just as he was talking, Ye Qiao had already pushed the door into the dressing room. Hearing this, he smiled helplessly: "Sister Xu, I don't want to either."

Ye Qiao's agent helped him organize the costume, and then it was Ye Qiao's turn to put on makeup. Rong Xu saw Sister Xu and Ye Qiao joking and chatting, and a smile appeared on her lips.

When he left the dressing room, Ye Qiao stopped him and said, "Rong Xu, we have a rivalry in the afternoon, do we want to play against each other in advance?"

Rong Xu smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After the sky was completely bright, the crew began filming the first scene.

This scene is about Wan Chengyao finally gaining the trust of Xiao's army after being invited by Xiao Xiang out of Wangqiu Pavilion.

The Xiao family army is a famous iron-blooded army of the Chu Kingdom. A young boy just wants to make them bow their heads? That's absolutely impossible! Wan Chengyao had just arrived at the barracks, and everyone took him as air. After he deployed the mission, although everyone was forced to complete the mission, they had no morale and looked listless.

So Wan Chengyao set up a game. He made a bet with Xiao Xiang that only 3,000 of Xiao Xiang's personal guards were used to defeat this group of 30,000 troops who did not obey orders. And the scene to be filmed today is the scene where Xiao Xiang presents the tiger talisman with his own hands after his bet fails.

Amidst the green mountains and green waters, the splendid young military commander, dressed in a white robe, took the half of the tiger talisman indifferently.

All the soldiers of the Xiao family were ashamed, and a group of lieutenants continued to persuade Xiao Xiang. Xiao Xiang didn't say a word, watching the tiger talisman fall into Wan Chengyao's palm. The ink-colored jade shone brightly in the sun, and when the dark jade and white skin matched, there was an indescribable dazzling effect.

Where are these soldiers who feel ashamed, it is Xiao Xiang.

Her soldiers were so incompetent that Wan Chengyao could defeat them with three thousand personal guards, which was Xiao Xiang's shame.

As if hearing the remorse in Xiao Xiang's heart, Wan Chengyao put away the tiger talisman and whispered "General".

Tang Menglan subconsciously raised her head to look at Rong Xu, then suddenly froze.

On the set, countless eyes were focused on Tang Menglan and Rong Xu. The blower kept blowing on the two of them, simulating the gale of the mountains. The long black hair was lifted by the wind, Rong Xu narrowed her eyes slightly, and her extremely elegant appearance made everyone hold their breath involuntarily.

The gentle and elegant but convincing aura slowly dissipated. Looking at this young man, everyone felt certain in their hearts, and all the impetuous thoughts settled down.

Rong Xu's bright and clear eyes flickered with light-colored light. He just smiled softly, and an inexplicable thought occurred in everyone's heart: as long as you believe in him, there is nothing that can't be done. He is a myth that can change the whole world!

At this moment, Rong Xu curled his lips into a smile, and an illusory shadow overlapped with him.

The master of Wangqiu Pavilion, Wan Chengyao, and the one who has won the world, Wan Chengyao, is here!

Director Guo's eyes were locked tightly on Rong Xu, he straightened his body and stared at this scene. Then he saw that the young boy in white stretched out his right hand, gently pulled Tang Menglan's hand, and slowly put the tiger talisman into her palm with a gentle movement.

Tang Menglan seemed a little stunned, Guo Dao frowned and did not call out. This reaction was indeed quite right, although he could see that Tang Menglan was really stunned for some reason, not acting, but at least it fit the script.

Rong Xu smiled and said: "The tiger talisman should be in the hands of the general." After a pause, the smile on the boy's lips deepened, his voice penetrated the space and sounded in the vast forest: "But the 30,000 army's Military heart... Wan Tengyao accepted it."

The moment the voice fell, Rong Xu's eyes flashed, and he seemed to inadvertently glance at the 30,000 army around him. His expression was calm and composed, as if what he had just handed over was not a tiger talisman commanding a thousand troops, but an extremely ordinary piece of jade.

In a word, the 30,000-strong army was silent.

The tiger talisman is received, but the hearts of the people cannot be received.

The tiger talisman is in the hands of Wan Chengyao, and the heart is not with him, but in Xiao Xiang's hands; but when the tiger talisman returned to Xiao Xiang's hands, he won the hearts of the people. What is really scary in the world is not the power in your hands, but the power in your heart!

At this point, the game is all over.

Director Guo reviewed the shot and nodded with satisfaction. He first called Rong Xu and praised him well, but at the same time pointed out a flaw: "Be a little bit more restrained, the scene just now is not the core scene of Wan Chengyao's role, you should do your best now and wait until later. When it comes to the really important scenes, but the performance is not as good as before, then the gains outweigh the losses."

Is it wrong to act too well

Yes, there is something wrong with acting too well.

Some scenes play a transitional role in the script and can be taken over in one go. However, some scenes lay the foundation for the entire plot, or the beginnings and transitions of the plot development, highlighting the characters' characters, which are the key points to attract the audience.

Director Guo was able to remind Rong Xu in this way that he already regarded him as his own. Otherwise, there is no need for him to remind him at all, because Wan Chengyao's performance is not good enough to attract attention, and the impact on the whole plot is not so great. After all, Rong Xu's role is only 25 episodes, and the remaining 40 episodes have nothing to do with him. No.

In response, Rong Xu nodded humbly: "Thank you Director Guo."

Guo Long nodded, and when Rong Xu was about to leave, he asked casually, "Can you continue to play so well?"

Rong Xu stopped and turned around with a smile: "I will try my best."

A satisfied smile appeared on Guo Long's face, while Deputy Director Wang looked at Rong Xu thoughtfully.

This young man is not bad. There are very few people who can make Director Guo so satisfied. Talented and high emotional intelligence, it seems that he was born to eat the actor's rice. Seems like he hasn't signed with a company yet

Assistant Director Wang thought to himself, turned around and called Luo Zhentao.

After Assistant Director Wang left, Director Guo called Tang Menglan over. All of a sudden, Director Guo's face sank, how could there be any kindness to Rong Xu just now.

Director Guo frowned: "Why did you make a mistake when you were just acting? Meng Lan, I've worked with you twice, you don't seem to be a careless person. That scene just now can almost pass, and it can't be done again in the future. This kind of thing happened, you know? It's rare for Rong Xu to play well, if you are NG, you senior will be sorry for the little actor."

Tang Menglan nodded helplessly, and Director Guo waved her away.

However, Tang Menglan burst into tears in the next second, and looked at Rong Xu's back gloomily.

Where is she thinking wrong? It's really that she accidentally caught Rong Xu's way!

Tang Menglan, a character like Xiao Xiang, has never tried it before. In "Chasing the Deer", her emotional scenes are only related to the male lead, but there is also a foreshadowing in the script: it seems that Wan Chengyao is also happy with her.

Naturally, this feeling is not specified. If you say it has it, it will have it, and if you say it doesn't have it, it will not exist.

But where can the audience think that the plot implies that Wan Chengyao is in love with Xiao Xiang, but when filming, Tang Menglan somehow always felt that she was being led by Rong Xu's nose!

After filming these nights, Tang Menglan couldn't fall asleep while lying in bed. The night before yesterday, she simply turned on her phone, opened the script and read it for an hour. The more I looked at her, the more I felt, why didn't Xiao Xiang like Wan Chengyao

As the person closest to Xiao Xiang, Tang Menglan has played many rival roles with the prince Xie Jingxian played by Dong Zheng, and has also had contact with Dong Lilan played by Ye Qiao. But no matter how many times the two played against her, it was Wan Chengyao who really impressed her.

Xie Jingxian is forbearing and strong, and they are childhood sweethearts with Xiao Xiang, and the two have liked each other since childhood; Dong Lilan and Xiao Xiang are completely opponents, and there is no emotional drama. But why did Xiao Xiang choose Xie Jingxian instead of Wan Chengyao

Is it like what many viewers say, the male lead is liked by the female lead, and the second male lead—Wan Zhaiyao is one of the only two characters who have a relationship with the female lead. Give them what these outsiders like

Tang Menglan twitched the corners of her mouth and walked in the direction of Rong Xu. After seeing the other party, she said, "Don't worry, Xiao Xu, you don't have to be too sad, I'll just choose you."

Rong Xu was confused: "...?"

During lunch, Rong Xu took the initiative to play against Ye Qiao.

Although Ye Qiao is only a second-tier actor now, Rong Xu is far inferior to him, so naturally he can't really wait for Ye Qiao to take the initiative to find him. His close behavior also made Ye Qiao feel very comfortable, and the two quickly confronted each other.

Dong Zheng just finished eating when he saw Rong Xu and Ye Qiao playing together.

Ye Qiao is very handsome, but he has a kind of evil spirit in his bones, which is one of the reasons why he has never been accepted by the public no matter how many leading roles he has played before. Most of the protagonists require a positive image. Ye Qiao's face is not highly recognizable, and at the same time, it is not so righteous and awe-inspiring. Naturally, it is impossible for people to like to remember.

But for the role of Donglilan, Ye Qiao really got it right.

This character is evil, cruel, and fierce, and once killed 10,000 soldiers of the state of Chu. If Wan Chengyao is an elegant and indifferent celestial hermit, then Donglilan is a cruel and cold-blooded hell Shura. But these two are brothers who grew up together, and the screenwriter's setting is really interesting.

Dong Zheng silently watched Ye Qiao and Rong Xu play. His little assistant washed his hands and came out of the bathroom. After seeing this scene, he asked strangely, "Brother Dong, what's the matter, what are you looking at?"

Dong Zheng shook his head.

After a while, Dong Zheng raised his finger to Rong Xu and said, "Do you think the two of them can be hot?"

How can such a thing be said in public! The assistant looked to both sides, and when he found no one, he whispered: "Rong Xu is very good-looking, and Director Guo also praised him for his good acting skills, so he should be popular. But Ye Qiao's words... He has failed for so many years. , I guess it will be difficult."

Hearing this, Dong Zheng didn't answer, and after a while, he asked, "Who is the screenwriter of this play?"

The little assistant said in confusion: "It seems to be Qi Li Studio."

Dong Zheng suddenly realized: "I remember correctly, it really is Qili Studio. I think Ye Qiao may be able to catch fire this time, you can get in touch with Ye Qiao's agent a little bit, we are a company after all, and you should hand in one in advance. Friends, don't make an opponent. Don't you see Tang Menglan has always taken care of Rong Xu, I think she already has an idea to bring Rong Xu into their Huaxia Entertainment. "

The little assistant was a little confused for a while, and didn't understand why Dong Zheng suddenly thought of so many things. However, Dong Zheng told him to write down everything honestly, but at the end, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Dong, Ye Qiao is on fire, what does it have to do with Qili Studio?"

Dong Zheng gave him a meaningful look and said, "Which movie did Qili Studio write popular last year?"

The little assistant still knows this: ""The Lonely Bird"! Nominated for the best film in Venice!"

Dong Zheng smiled and said, "Then look at it, I think Ye Qiao can catch fire with Rong Xu."

After speaking, Dong Zheng left first, and the little assistant quickly followed. But he kept muttering in a low voice: "What is the relationship... "The Lonely Hung"? Rong Xu and Ye Qiao? Is there any strange relationship... "

So, why can Tang Menglan and Dong Zheng become popular stars, but the assistants can only be assistants

To become famous in the highly competitive Huaxia entertainment industry, relying on face and acting skills is definitely not enough, superb emotional intelligence is the most important thing.

"Gu Hong", a domestic film that exploded in popularity last year, won the China box office champion in August, and was a dark horse that everyone expected. This film made the two newcomers starring an instant hit, and they squeezed into the second-tier after the first filming and had a large number of fans.

By the way, this movie is a same-sex romance.

The crew rested for a while, and in the first scene of the afternoon, they started filming the scenes of the second male lead Dong Lilan and the fourth male lead Wan Chengyao. This scene is the first time the two brothers and sisters have met after many years, and this time they met across the battlefield of ten thousand people, and the cold wind was bleak.

The author has something to say: Luo Zhentao: How can I put it, this character is very fashionable! [Knock on the blackboard]

Rong Xu: If this character is not good enough, would I want him? [smile]

A small attack with a name just appeared: … When do I play
