At the hotel where the crew stayed, Xu Rong met Liu Heping again. From the stunned look on his face, Xu Rong knew that Liu Heping remembered him.

"Hello, Teacher Liu, thank you very much." Xu Rong saw Liu Heping from a distance, hurriedly went up to say hello, and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Regardless of the process, Liu Heping did help him. In other words, he himself was not sure whether he would make the same decision as Liu Heping.

This is a kind-hearted person.

Liu Heping held a cigarette in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. He looked at him strangely for a while and said, "You are really here? But it looks very similar."

Xu Rong understood what the other party meant, and he had found his state.

At this time, Jia Na finally confirmed her suspicion. After Xu Rong failed her first audition, she did go to find Teacher Liu.

Uncle Li listened curiously to the conversation between the two. After Xu Rong left, he asked Liu Heping, "What? Lao Liu, have you known each other before?"

"Well, he asked me about the role of Shen Yishi before, but I ignored him, but guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"This young man blocked me at the entrance of my garage for seven days. I really couldn't do anything, so I briefly told him about the character Shen Yishi."

After hearing this, Uncle Li thought it was quite interesting, but when he looked back and thought about it, he didn't find it interesting anymore.

Although Xu Rong is not very old, he is not a complete newcomer. He has acted in the popular "Bright Sword". Although he is not famous, if he concentrates on taking roles in anti-war films in the future, he will not worry about not being able to get roles in three to five years.

At such a young age, he was able to sacrifice his body and face and stand in front of someone's garage door with a shy face for seven days. He was ruthless in his bones and was ruthless towards himself.

If a person like this uses his ruthlessness on the wrong path, he will inevitably end up in prison sooner or later. If he uses it on the right path, he estimates that he will not be able to become the number one person in the circle in the future.

The crew was still trying on the makeup of the actors one by one, but the atmosphere of the hotel gradually changed. At first, everyone met, and those who were familiar laughed and said hello, and asked how they were doing, while those who were not familiar met each other, and also Will smile and nod.

But gradually, it seems that the feelings between people have weakened. Everyone's voice, whether speaking or doing things, suddenly became much lower. When they touched each other, they only nodded, but no one smiled.

The same is true for Xu Rong, and he is also one of the people who promoted this change. Although filming has not started yet, he has already immersed himself in the drama and does not go out. He stays in the hotel every day and writes the script.

When he encounters a play that he is not sure about, he will go to Uncle Li and Teacher Liu Heping to ask for more information.

He had already memorized the lines, and he was holding his breath. A common problem for young actors is that they always forget their lines. First, they have not developed a habit, and second, they have an attitude of not taking it seriously. This was often criticized in the past.

He knew that the veteran actors in the group couldn't make such a basic mistake, so he couldn't make it even more. He really couldn't imagine forgetting his lyrics during filming.

That would be a real loss of face.

When he met people on weekdays, he would also start to speak and say hello as Shen Yishi.

At the same time, he discovered that other actors were similar.

But he also felt that everyone was quite normal. It was just that the various crews of the film crew were not normal. Although their movements and voices were equally gentle, the relaxed expressions on their faces were out of place.

Xu Rong had never met Chen Baoguo before when they acted together, but he did not look down upon him at all, because he had become famous more than 20 years ago.

Naturally, he also understands acting skills. As a representative figure of the method branch of the experiential school, Chen Baoguo is an unavoidable topic in performance theory.

But when he actually saw it, Xu Rong realized that he hadn't paid enough attention to it before.

He originally thought that Chen Baoguo and Li Youbin were in the same league, but when the filming of the first scene started, he finally understood in person why this man could become a representative of a genre.

A strong sense of involvement.

When Xu Rong read the script, he roughly sketched out an image of Jiajing in his mind. Later, after listening to Uncle Li's words and teacher Liu Heping's words, this image now tends to be fuller.

And Chen Baoguo seems to coincide with this image.

The characters created by Li Youbin have his own shadow. Xu Rong can vaguely see this from the two completely different characters in "Bright Sword" and "Stepfather".

But Chen Baoguo didn't. After two scenes, his performance didn't have any obvious outstanding features. The biggest feature was that it was very average.

It's a bit scary to be flat.

Jiajing itself was not qualified to inherit the throne, but Emperor Zhengde died young and left no heirs, so the pie fell on Jiajing.

Because of the lack of the innate "imperial power granted by heaven", in order to consolidate his imperial power and pursue immortality like many emperors, Jiajing practiced Taoism in the deep palace all year round, which made him possess elusive powers in the eyes of outsiders.

Mysterious color.

"It feels like it's a little worse." Xu Rong stood outside the court with his hands in his sleeves.

He didn't take the script, he had memorized all the lines. Last night, Uncle Li also took the actors who had scenes today three times.

Similar to him, almost none of the actors in the group brought the script to the shooting scene. They probably did, but no one took it out.

Shameful.

Looking at Chen Baoguo in the field, Xu Rong felt both lucky and regretful at the same time. Fortunately, she didn't have a scene with him, but unfortunately, she didn't have a scene with him.

He knew that he might not be able to catch Chen Baoguo, but how would he know if he didn't try?

He didn't use the system to check the reviews. Even if he didn't look, he had a rough estimate in his mind, at least an A-rated overall rating.

He planned to watch the scene when it was finished, and it took him almost a week to get into the mood. He didn't want to lose his performance due to some accidents.

After watching Chen Baoguo's play, Xu Rong gave up on the original idea that "surprised" them.

Seems a bit naive.

Several actors he had played with before had some back-and-forth fights with Chen Baoguo, but they clearly felt that they were not that good at the time.

Looking back now, it may be one of the actor's illusions.

On the first day, he had a scene with Wang Jinsong.

Xu Rong didn't have any stage fright. After taking one step, the filming started directly.

After Uncle Li shouted "pass", no one commented or spoke, everyone was busy with their own business.

In the studio, during the rehearsal, there was no other noise except the voices of the two people talking.

After the photo was taken, the sound of the slight movement of the machine was clearly audible.

A phenomenon and environment that Xu Rong and most actors regard as quite normal.

Quiet but not depressing.

He was not completely satisfied with his performance, but he also understood that he had really tried his best, just like Shen Yishi, who was destined to die when Jiajing issued the policy of changing rice to mulberry.

He also tried his best, just like Shen Yishi was struggling to survive before he died.

The proof is that after discussing with Uncle Li, he added this feeling of powerlessness and struggle to Shen Yishi. This was his personal experience on and off the screen.

Xu Rong always learns a lot from every crew he joins.

The first lesson was taken by Chen Baoguo.

It allowed him to see how shocking it would be in the ordinary after erasing the traces of his own existence during the performance.

He could see it but couldn't do it, but he remembered it in his heart.

For the time being, Chen Baoguo is the target.

The second lesson was taken by Ni Dahong, who he had previously thought was only a little better than him.

Ni Dahong is in his forties and plays the eighty-year-old Yan Song in the play.

It's similar to him. Once he's in the play, this character will definitely shine. If he's out of the play, it will definitely be the biggest failure of the whole play.

In one scene, Ni Dahong was wearing court robes, with a crown on his head, and he was kneeling on the ground with an old look on his face.

As usual, when changing camera positions and dimming positions, the actors would take a sip of water and rest, or stretch their muscles.

But Ni Dahong lowered his eyebrows and knelt quietly on the ground without any movement. The crew did not disturb him and walked around him quietly when they passed by.

During the adjustment, a light pole accidentally touched the wing of his hat, which was slightly tilted. He said nothing or even showed any expression.

Instead, he slowly straightened up, slowly raised his hands, like a real eighty-year-old man, gently straightened his hat, and knelt down again.

Xu Rong, who was standing outside the venue, watched the entire process for about fifteen seconds quietly. After staying for nearly five minutes, he finally recovered.

Since the start of the film, he had been complacent about his entry into the drama, but only then did he realize that compared to Ni Dahong, his attitude was far worse.

Yes, it has nothing to do with acting, it is purely about his attitude towards acting. Ni Dahong's approach can ensure that he still maintains his previous state after adjusting the camera position.

For the first time, Xu Rong not only felt pure joy in acting, but also began to feel awe.

Acting is a craft for earning money, but because of its special nature, it must be presented to thousands of audiences in the end. It doesn’t matter how you do it, whether you pay attention to it or not.

If everyone doesn't pay attention, they will all be the same, but once someone pays attention, it will be obvious who is paddling.

Audiences have the right to vote.

Directors also have voting rights.
