Chapter 175: Playing the game
Xu Kun stayed in the capital for a total of two days. He was basically busy working as a money-distributing boy, distributing local specialties brought back from the south.
It wasn't until he met all the people he knew that he took the green car back to the Magic City.
In fact, when he was not popular before, he was not so polite, but after hearing countless people's experiences in prison from dominating one party to ending in disgrace, he knew that the more proud he was, the more he should lower his attitude.
No one cared about you when you were unknown, but if you continue to be as casual as before after you have gained momentum, people will secretly accuse you of changing, being arrogant, being arrogant, and being arrogant!
They will try their best to recall the good things about you before you were not popular, and then magnify the bad things about you after you became famous - even if you are still the same as you were before, without any change at all, in their eyes, you will become a wolf with a blind eye and look down upon others.
Although these gossips may not affect your current status and career, they are likely to cause you a big setback in the future.
Not to mention this.
After returning to the crew, the filming progress was not as fast as before, but I transformed into Mr. Dick more times at night.
Ever since she and her husband Paul made things clear, Ping-jing's mood has been very unstable and she has to be injected with 'sedatives' on time to cope with the daytime shooting tasks.
In short, the 'husband and wife' perform literary dramas during the day and martial arts at night. Although the number of scenes is less, the tacit understanding is getting deeper and deeper.
But even so, occasionally you will encounter a continuous NG that you can't get over.
For example, episode 38, scene 32.
In this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang personally forced to death his eldest son-in-law who was secretly smuggling tea. Empress Ma came to him to argue with him about this. She also happened to hear the news that her eldest daughter had hanged herself and attempted suicide. As a result, the couple had a big quarrel.
This is also the scene with the most intense conflict between Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma in the whole play.
In the end, Queen Ma angrily expressed that she was waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to be sealed and deposed. Then she would never be like the eldest son-in-law, trying to endure the humiliation and survive. She had to wait until Zhu Yuanzhang threw the sword at his feet before committing suicide.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang's order was given, she would immediately accept the order to express gratitude and then hang herself.
After she finished speaking, she walked a few steps and felt dissatisfied. She came back and snatched the jade Ruyi that Zhu Yuanzhang never left, and smashed it into pieces.
Of course, during the filming, she fell on the sponge mat first. After all, the crew did not prepare so many props for Yu Ruyi. The scenes before the fall of Yu Ruyi had to be completed before a real fall scene could be added.
Although Xu Kun had planned the highlight of this scene in advance, Feng Xiaoning was never satisfied with his performance during the official filming.
After taking the photo more than ten times, Feng Xiaoning called Xu Kun to him, pointed at the picture in the viewfinder and said: "The rage you showed in the last part is nothing when facing other people, but it is... There is something wrong with Queen Ma."
Xu Kun frowned and said, "Can you explain it more carefully?"
"Is this..."
Feng Xiaoning organized his words and then said: "Empress Ma is a unique existence for Zhu Yuanzhang. His violence and cruelty should not be like this even if he does not restrain himself in front of Empress Ma."
It's still a bit vague, but Xu Kun has roughly figured it out.
"I'll try again."
Xu Kun thought about it for a while, and then came to have a big fight with Ma Xiuying again. This time he tried to add some feelings of grievance and unwillingness to his roar.
However, Feng Xiaoning was still dissatisfied, because after adding these emotions, Xu Kun's explosive power also dropped significantly, which was not in line with the tone of the most intense conflict in the overall situation. ’
As a result, I took the photo seven or eight times and still failed.
Feeling that the atmosphere on the crew was already impetuous - after all, this was a night scene - Xu Kun took the initiative to apply for a timeout from Feng Xiaoning: "Director Feng, do you think this will work? Give me some time to brew. Tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock Let's shoot again and try to get a pass!" Feng Xiaoning also felt that it wouldn't be a problem to continue like this, but he couldn't think of a good solution for the moment.
Hearing Xu Kun say that he would try to get a way out tomorrow morning, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What, do you have an idea?"
"I came up with a crooked idea, and I think it should work."
Xu Kun couldn't be said to be confident, but he still seemed quite confident, so Feng Xiaoning followed suit and announced that the work would be stopped for the time being, and the scene would not be moved, and filming would resume at 4:30 tomorrow morning.
Considering that they couldn't take a break in such a short period of time, the crew would definitely be resentful, so he mercifully said that as long as the scene was filmed tomorrow morning, everyone could take a half-day off.
At the same time that director Feng Xiaoning announced the end of work, Xu Kun also quietly found Li Yixiang: "Brother Li, please go to the nearby place to order 60 breakfasts tomorrow morning. The most expensive and best ones, and get a dozen baskets of fruits." ”
The crew members have accumulated a lot of resentment due to their continuous work, and Xu Kun doesn't want to become their outlet just because he goes to bed early and wakes up early. Of course, no one dares to provoke him, the male protagonist, but secretly using some tricks is enough. Disgusting.
When Li Yixiang agreed, Xu Kun turned around and saw Ning Jing coming over with a 'gentle and virtuous' face - according to the makeup in the play, the two of them had already played from the age of eighteen to forty, and they were about to run The fifty mark has passed.
"What are you going to do?"
Ning Jing looked at Xu Kun with some worry. Xu Kun's acting skills were pretty good, especially his breathtaking heroic character, which was even more intense and realistic than the original version.
But compared to the original protagonist Hu Jun, he is slightly lacking in literary drama - for example, the ability to mix more and more complex emotions in intense emotions is something he does not yet possess.
Now it's just over 6 hours until 4:30 tomorrow morning. Ning Jing saves others by himself. I really can't imagine how he can improve his acting skills to a higher level in such a short period of time.
"It's actually quite simple."
Xu Kun said to Ning Jing: "Take out your phone and set several alarm clocks. Starting from 11:30, there will be an alarm clock for half an hour. Starting from 1 o'clock, there will be an alarm clock for fifteen minutes. Starting from 3 o'clock, there will be an alarm clock for five minutes. !”
Ning Jing took out her phone and was about to operate it when she heard Xu Kun's words and couldn't help but be startled: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing to do, just brewing emotions."
Xu Kun spread his hands and said: "I will put your phone at the door later. Every time it rings and gets up to turn it off, I will tell myself that this is your phone and the ringtone you set.
Just stay up all night like this, and when I see you again, I will definitely be able to accumulate that extremely irritable, aggrieved, and helpless emotion - by the way, remember to change the name of each alarm clock to 'I love you'! "
"..."
Ning Jing was silent for a while and then said: "If you can keep this attitude, you will definitely be able to go further than me in acting in the future."
"Let me lend you some good words."
Xu Kun chuckled and signaled Ning Jing to quickly set the alarm clock - he could set it himself, but when he got into the mood, he might be a little off.
After torturing himself like this all night, Xu Kun woke up the next morning with an aura that said no strangers should enter him. Especially when he saw Ning Jing, his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire, but there happened to be something... I have strength and grievances, just a feeling of grievance that cannot be vented.
When we started shooting again this time, we really did it all over again.
However, Xu Kun and Feng Xiaoning discussed it and took two more shots.
This is not to ensure that nothing goes wrong, but Xu Kun hopes to remember his current emotions and state, and when encountering similar situations in the future, he can perform without any off-site means.
