Chapter 31: Inspiration
"Learn morality first when learning art, and be a person first when doing opera."
This is the first sentence Li Xuejian taught Xu Rong. When he spoke, Li Xuejian's expression was quite serious, which made him breathe lighter subconsciously.
Xu Rong didn't ask why, and Li Xuejian didn't explain the reason either.
The reason why he didn't ask was because Xu Rong felt that there was no problem with his artistic ethics and character. As for why Li Xuejian didn't explain, he had no way to guess.
However, Xu Rong's name for Li Xuejian has quietly changed from "Teacher Li" to "Teacher".
When he shouted again, Li Xuejian thought for a while before nodding, indicating that he had accepted this title.
No one in the crew noticed this subtle change. Xu Rong has been serving him for a while. Even as a senior, it would be no big deal to take care of him.
For example, guidance during daily shooting.
Li Xuejian's teaching is completely different from Li Youbin's teaching method. At the beginning, Li Youbin always told Xu Rong how to act, and then asked him to achieve his ideal state through repeated attempts. The goal is clear and the method is quite clear. Just do it step by step.
The most common words Li Xuejian said were: "How do you think you acted like?"
This is a rather subtle and quite divergent question.
Xu Rong originally thought that he could act, but looking at Li Xuejian's serious expression, he didn't dare to say too much, so he could only try out the thoughts in his heart one by one.
During this process, Li Xuejian would tell him what is desirable and what should be abandoned. As for when is the most suitable, he never told him clearly, but instead let him think about it alone.
It seems that he has to extend all his abilities and squeeze out the last drop of energy.
Xu Rong couldn't say which one is better or worse. Li Youbin's method allowed him to learn and apply it immediately. Li Xuejian's teaching seemed to teach him a method. The acting method was very harsh, but in the long run, the impact on him was quite huge.
However, when it comes to his liking for Chen Shu, Li Xuejian gave him a suggestion in the tone of a person who has experienced it and gave up as soon as possible.
When he asked the reason, Li Xuejian didn't say much, but only said four words: It won't last long.
Xu Rong couldn't understand why Li Xuejian made such an assertion, whether it lasted for a long time or not, the matter was due to humans.
In a short period of time, Xu Rong was not thinking about this.
He got busy again. Li Xuejian didn't have too many scenes, and he arranged them very concentratedly, so he couldn't stay in the group for too long.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why his scenes are dispersed. When most of the crew members are concentrated, someone will inevitably make sacrifices.
Huang Xiaoming, who was already instigating him on the side, saw that he was determined to act alone, and after talking once, he stopped persuading him. Instead, he was very concerned about whether Xu Rong would pursue Chen Shu.
He even made a harsh statement: "If you don't chase me, don't blame me for being unfair?"
Xu Rong didn't know what the process was like, but the next day, Huang Xiaoming found him again and said with a depressed look on his face: "Brother, I'll tell you the truth, give up, if someone tells me, I won't look for people in the circle."
Xu Rong nodded, indicating that he knew, and then there was nothing.
The scene he saw in the hotel a few nights ago made him very disappointed with some people in this circle and understood the meaning of what Li Xuejian said at the beginning.
He had already had a very high tolerance for this circle, but the facts he saw with his own eyes repeatedly refreshed the bottom line of his cognition.
Some people look at the gentlemanly style during the day, but at night, they will change into a new face.
Most people are not surprised by this, and even get used to it. When they mention it, they can only say: "What a rare thing?"
Although it has nothing to do with Chen Shu, he was able to understand why she wanted to find someone outside the circle.
After about ten days of shooting, Chang Jihong came again. Just like last time, she was still visiting Sun Li.
From Sun Li's perspective, this agent is really good at the artist party under his command.
After arriving, I was in a hurry to ask about my well-being, looking like a worried old mother.
Xu Rong saw Chang Jihong coming from afar. After hesitating for a while, he walked over. No matter what, he still had to call him, after all, he looked down and saw him.
He thought it would be similar to last time, but this time Chang Jihong was much more enthusiastic than when he saw him on the crew of "Bright Sword". When he saw him coming, he asked, "Is the filming going smoothly?"
Xu Rong looked at Chang Jihong's kind face and felt that she had some illusion in the past. Could it be that she really judged a gentleman by the heart of a villain?
People are always generous, how could they be scheming with themselves because of those little things?
After a moment of stammering, Xu Rong hurriedly said, "It's all going well, thank you Mr. Chang for your concern."
Chang Jihong's face was filled with a warm smile and said, "Don't call Mr. Chang, everyone calls me Sister Hong. You keep shouting that way, it seems that we are too polite."
"Yeah, Sister Hong."
Xu Rong remembered his urgent need, and it happened that Chang Jihong came by coincidence, so he thought that it would be better to mention it by the way and said, "Sister Hong, I have something to bother you. Can you please help me with an assistant? I'm ready to announce it."
"Ouch," Chang Jihong was not at all unhappy. After hearing this, he patted his forehead suddenly and said, "Look at this day and day, I almost forgot about this. You have more dramas than before. You really need an assistant to help. In this way, keep your heart in your stomach. I will let Xiao Guo recruit people when I look back."
After hearing Chang Jihong's promise, Xu Rong was deeply ashamed of his previous speculation, and said sincerely and guiltily: "That's so thankful to Sister Hong."
"We are all a family, why are you polite? If there is anything wrong with the filming, tell me, go and communicate with the crew."
"OK."
Xu Rong did not expect Chang Jihong to change his attitude so much, which was completely beyond his expectations. In fact, he could not say that he had seen Chang Jihong twice after thinking about it carefully.
Many of the contents are imagined out of thin air.
How can there be so many bad people in this world? There are not so many petty people at all. Instead, they think too much of people.
After saying hello, he looked at Chang Jihong from afar, and he thought so.
Chang Jihong's reply made him feel relieved. As there are more and more scenes during the filming process, the assistant must have. Unless he has the qualifications of Li Xuejian, the crew will arrange for people to follow up.
The reason why the large number of scenes in "New Shanghai Bund" was filmed smoothly was mainly due to the guidance of Li Youbin during the crew of "Stepfather". During that period, he practiced the rhythm without real objects. Otherwise, relying solely on the crew's staff to write lyrics, the number of times NG would be more than twice as many as others.
Chang Jihong stayed on the set for less than an hour, chatted with Gao Xixi and the producer for a while, and then left by car. She came just to express her attitude and her attention to Sun Li. As for Xu Rong, there are more ingredients.
Xu Rong waited on the set for another day, and it was almost sunset before he started filming his scenes.
Because his relationship with Gao Xixi gradually eased, he did not have much objection to this. Anyway, as the second male lead, he had to follow the team all the time, and there was not much difference between resting on the set and staying in a hotel.
If Huang Xiaoming did this, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. He had a lot of notices, and he had to participate in various activities while filming the movie while resting. He was the busiest person in the crew.
Xu Rong looked at Huang Xiaoming, who looked like a top, and couldn't help but feel the impact on the performance status even though he didn't experience it personally. One week was in the crew and the other week was rushing for another announcement, and when he came back, he might be able to forget most of the lines.
There is still only one scene today, the plot is about Ding Li giving Feng Chengcheng a ring on the eve of his wedding.
After Gao Xixi finished the show, Xu Rong frowned and thought for a while, shook her head, and then glanced around for a while before saying to Gao Xixi and Sun Li: "Director, Teacher Sun, wait for me for a few minutes."
After saying that, he took the prop box with a ring and walked towards Chen Shu who was waiting for the night scene.
Gao Xixi looked at Xu Rong leaving, turned to look at Sun Li in surprise, and asked, "What is he doing?"
He knew that Xu Rong liked Chen Shu, but we were about to start shooting?
But he didn't stop him. He pointed at Xu Rong and was obedient and filmed it carefully. He has been recalling these days. Whether this drama will be successful must be pointed at four people. Gao Xixi is naturally the first one, the second one is Li Xuejian, the third one is the post-production editing, and the fourth one is actually his fucking Xu Rong?
Huang Xiaoming is responsible for being handsome. Comparing Sun Li with Zhao Yazhi is a difficult girl, so he can only make up for it from other roles. Feng Jingyao and Ding Li are the two best fulcrums he has designed after thinking about it.
As for editing, he can't afford to use an editor as powerful as Liu Shuishui. He is a top-tier actor with the most cost-effectiveness. The editing can only find a similar thing to make do with it. Then he just needs to worry more.
Chen Shu has a melon-shaped face, with delicate facial features, and a gentle personality. He always smiles when he speaks, which is a bit like a lady from ancient times. However, when he changes into a costume, his red lips are bright and charming, but not without dignity and grandness.
"Hey, hey, look, Xu Rong is going to find Chen Shu." Huang Xiaoming was lying on the chair to rest, but when he opened his eyes and saw the direction Xu Rong was heading, he suddenly sat up and shouted at Sha Yi beside him.
Sha Yi was in a daze, and after he understood what was going on in the direction Huang Xiaoming pointed, his glasses instantly widened, grinned, revealing two rows of teeth, stared at Xu Rong's back, and whispered: "Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Battlefield correspondent?"
“Real-time tracking!”
"Walk!"
After Huang Xiaoming and Sha Yi looked at each other, they hugged and touched them quietly.
What a guy, I'm enlightened.
The crew seemed to have suddenly fallen into a strange silence from a certain moment, and each of them gently slowed down the movements in their hands, as if they were afraid that the sound would be too loud, which would disturb the speed of the air flow.
I didn't dare to stare at me directly, but when I saw Huang Xiaoming and the other two follow him as if they were chatting, I no longer avoided it. I stretched my neck boldly and squinted my eyes and looked at me carefully.
Chapter completed!
