Speaking of the art of acting, Lu Liangsheng had also heard Hong Lian talk about it. It was a rather lowly profession. Even if one became famous in the future, one would either marry into an honest family or become a concubine of a rich man.
He only acted in two scenes, and it seemed like all the actors were surrounded by people. Those who played a leading role were followed by people in makeup. When they took a break, someone held an umbrella for them and handed them water. It was completely different from what Hong Lian said, as if it was the opposite.
Lu Liangsheng looked at the fair-skinned and tender-skinned 'Fahai' lying on a recliner, with someone fanning him and wiping his sweat. He could not help but sigh, and could only describe this profession as 'decline and rise'.
"If Hong Lian saw this, she would be happy. With her acting skills, she should be able to easily become a star."
During the next few days of filming, Lu Liangsheng didn't wait for his master and the Taoist priest to come back, but they were able to find him anyway, so he wasn't too worried. The spiritual energy in this era was weak, and over the past thousand years, there had been almost no Taoist practitioners. Modern weapons could not pose any threat to them.
I might as well calm down, read the script, and seriously put myself into the role of Taibai Jinxing, who was once a god incarnated into the world and was beaten by him. I think it can be regarded as a "fate".
Once he gets into the role, Lu Liangsheng's aura sometimes makes the actors acting opposite him speechless with shock. For example, in a scene where he rescues several civilians from the mouth of a monster in the mountains, he seems to have returned to the state of killing the monster star, with eyes as fast as lightning, and the extras covered in prop skins stumble and sit on the ground, almost unable to get up.
The director over there thought it was natural. The more Lu Liangsheng behaved like this, the more everyone should learn from him. In his words: This is what a professional actor does, even a single look is acting.
After hearing it for a long time, everyone gradually got used to it, and almost everyone followed Lu Jun in calling him "cousin". However, they didn't dare to look at the "cousin" opposite them every time. Even if there was a scene where they had to look at each other, they would quietly look away and not look at Lu Liangsheng seriously. This way, they really felt much better.
Once this little trick spread, everyone from the leading actor to the extras learned it, but it was a bit tiring for the eyes. After a long time, the actors in the entire crew had dull and lifeless eyes after finishing their scenes, and their eyes wandered when they talked to people.
Of course, directors and screenwriters also have their own headaches.
After getting familiar with the crew, this professional "cousin" became serious and gave them a headache. During the filming for several days, Lu Liangsheng asked them to change some parts of the script several times, from words to scenes, and even the origin of the name "Liu Bochin". He told the director the actual scene, how many trees there were, where they were located, how high the rocks were, etc., and the latter thought he was there at the time.
Even though he was a little annoyed, he didn't dare to lose his temper. For a small crew and small production like his, it was a blessing to have such professional actors perform.
He had no choice but to call Lu Jun behind his back to vent his anger. Of course, he didn't curse him, but mostly just complained, saying that this was a small crew, and there was no point in having so many trees and mountains. The most annoying thing was that they had to change the scenery. Those ancient buildings took two months to complete, so how could they be changed at will? They might even be used in the next play in the future.
Lu Jun walked out with a smile on his face and nodded. When he returned to the room, he pulled Lu Liangsheng, who was reading a book, to pour out his grievances.
"My cousin, we are a poor crew, how can we do this? The director, who was not rich to begin with, has not a single hair left."
"Haha... Fine then, just make do with it and finish the shoot."
Lu Liangsheng actually didn't mind it, but his serious nature in studying made him inevitably talk too much and appear to be a bit aggressive. Now that he knew the truth about the crew, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them.
The filming continued as usual. This time Lu Liangsheng was a little more restrained. However, there was a small accident during the filming. The blower had not been put in place yet and the operator had diarrhea and went to the toilet. When he came back, many colleagues gave him a thumbs up.
"These gusts of wind are blown well. They not only don't block the camera, but also bring out the atmosphere of the fairy characters. It's really good."
"Yeah, I never realized you were this good. Why didn't you brag about it before?"
"When you get praised by the director, remember to treat me to a meal!"
After all the praise, the staff member was left covering his belt and blinking his eyes in confusion.
"I just went to the bathroom, what happened here?"
…
On the fifth day, Lu Liangsheng's scenes had been basically filmed, and there was no need to reshoot other shots. In the evening, the director sent someone to invite him, thinking that they were going to discuss the script, but it turned out to be a banquet in the restaurant opposite the hotel. The main actors and producers of the crew were also present. An envelope was taken out, which was bulging with stuff. Lu Jun, who came over to eat and drink, stared with his eyes wide open. He quickly pulled his cousin who was trying to refuse, and lowered his voice.
"Cousin, this is the labor fee... Take it quickly, maybe they will have a play in the future and want you to be the protagonist."
On the other side, Lu Liangsheng naturally would not refuse. Although he came to act mainly out of curiosity, he also worked hard and he deserved to be paid.
After taking it, he didn't even look at how much was in it. He then handed it to Lu Jun beside him, picked up the glass and looked around, thanking the people in the crew, saying something about how much Lu Jun cared about him and that he wanted to toast him as his cousin.
Lu Liangsheng started talking, and as the dishes were served, the atmosphere at the banquet became lively, and the meal lasted until late at night. The drunk director and the producer of the film staggered out of the restaurant, pushed away the people who were supporting them, and knelt down on the street with two thuds, shouting that they wanted to ask Lu Liangsheng to become sworn brothers with them. In the end, the scholar flicked a finger at them and knocked them unconscious, and they were taken back to the hotel to sleep.
There was another thing that made Lu Liangsheng laugh and cry.
In the middle of the night, Master, Sun Yingxian, and Yanzhi just returned from the island country. I went downstairs to the street to greet them, and saw a man and a toad walking past the street lights, arguing with each other.
"What do you want that action figure for?" This was Lao Sun's voice.
The Toad Taoist priest, who was walking beside Sun Yingxian's calf, had his flippers on his back and snorted, "It looks good, but what do you care about what I buy?"
"Are you buying that?"
"He agreed by not saying anything."
"Bullshit, I clearly saw you knock him out! Since you like little people so much, I can just make a few out of paper, blow some air into them, and they can run around in front of you."
"Fuck that, don't you think I don't know that you burned it for those dead ghosts down there?"
They were talking to each other. Yanzhi, who was walking behind them, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. She felt the scholar's aura and saw the figure standing under the street light in front of her. She took off her professional clothes and put on a pink dress again. She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked quickly forward, bowed slightly and saluted.
"Rouge has met Mr. Lu."
"stand up."
Lu Liangsheng held up his hands, looked at the Taoist priest and his master who were walking and arguing, and laughed: "What's wrong with them?"
"Master Toad was attracted by the islanders' gadgets, which were all lifelike dummies, so he forcibly took a few..."
Thinking of the scene when she took them to visit Tokyo, Yanzhi had a smile on her face, but she was still frightened. Without Mr. Lu in front of her, Toad Taoist almost caused a big disturbance in Tokyo. That day, when he was drunk, he suddenly set up purple smoke and flew to the tallest building in Tokyo, shouting to the night sky for the gods and monsters of this place to come out and fight him.
The air was filled with evil spirits, and it felt as if the sky above Tokyo was about to fall down. There were lightning and thunder everywhere. Even she didn't dare to get close because she was injured. A few evil thunders could hit her, and with the Toad Taoist's skills, she would be killed on the spot.
Fortunately, he was awakened by Taoist Sun's scolding. The man and the toad had a fight, and the Taoist's eyes were bruised, and he felt better afterwards.
Hearing this, Lu Liangsheng was also sweating. Although they were from a foreign country, the civilians on the other side had done nothing wrong. It would be really unfortunate if they suffered an unexpected disaster.
I’m afraid that all the luck that Master has accumulated with great difficulty will be lost.
He then looked behind the master and the Taoist priest who were coming over, and noticed that the old donkey who usually ran around happily was not there, and frowned.
"Where's the old donkey?"
"Sir..."
Before Yanzhi could finish, the Taoist priest came over and interrupted her, taking over the conversation: "He is still behind, looking back every few steps. He is thinking about love."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and showed Lu Liangsheng the photos he had taken.
In the picture, a long-faced man is hugging a scantily clad woman, with his tongue stretched out long, licking the bottom of the cup, which seduces the woman into hugging the old man and almost sitting in his arms.
"you… "
Not only did the master start drinking again, but he even dragged the old donkey into it. Lu Liangsheng was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
