Whether it's a mule or a horse, it has to be pulled out for a ride.
Liping took care of Zhang Chu and gave him enough time to adapt, but it couldn't be indefinite.
Although the character Xiao Jian appears late in the whole drama, his importance in the second half of the plot is not at all minor.
Sooner or later you have to put on a show.
The day before his official debut, Liping found Zhang Chu and made it clear to him directly.
Once it feels that Zhang Chu's play is not working, the crew will have no choice but to replace him. At that time, the remuneration given will not be refunded, but he will have to work as a martial artist on the crew and follow the crew throughout the process.
That night, Zhang Chu's hair was shaved and his eyebrows were re-pruned.
After returning to the dormitory, Zhou Jie pulled me to rehearse the scene to be filmed tomorrow several times.
The next day, as soon as he arrived at the set, his hair was in braids. It was not Jianlu's ugly money rat tail, which gave Zhang Chu a little comfort.
While waiting for the scene, this Jinyiwei Baihu, who was used to licking blood with a knife, felt nervous for the first time in his life.
"There's no need to be nervous. You've rehearsed this scene so many times, so it's definitely fine. Just perform it as you normally rehearse."
Before going on the field, Fan Bingbing couldn't help but encourage him.
During this period, Zhang Chu taught Fan Bingbing kung fu every morning. When they arrived at the set, Fan Bingbing taught Zhang Chu how to act. They hung out together all day long, and the relationship became closer and closer.
"Nervous? Do I look nervous?"
Zhang Chu had a tough talk. How could a man be at a disadvantage in front of a woman?
and!
"Good intentions are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"
Fan Bingbing rolled his eyes, shook his head and left.
The shooting location was the reception building in the play. The staff were setting up the scene, and there were many extras around who had changed their costumes.
Half a month ago, Zhang Chu was still one of them. According to Huang Bo, he has now achieved a class leap.
"All departments are ready for the official shooting!"
The scene recorder came forward with a tablet player: "My Fair Princess, scene N, act N, first pass!"
Snap!
"Action!"
At the beginning of this scene, the protagonist group and the square-faced Meng Dan were sitting together, discussing how to steal the emperor's wife.
People were coming and going in the lobby, and the seats were full of guests. This was as if everyone else was deaf or blind, unable to see or hear anything! ?
Not only did he not know how to avoid discussing such a confidential matter, he even said it openly while sitting in a crowd.
I really don’t know whether to call them big-hearted or the screenwriter is out of their minds.
"Mengdan and Hanxiang, thank you all!"
The square-faced man stood up and bowed to the protagonist group.
At this moment, it was Zhang Chu's turn to appear. He held a sword and a flute in his hand, and strode in with a simple bag, a blue vest, and a green arrow jacket.
It was written in the script that Xiao Jian showed extraordinary magnanimity as soon as he appeared on the stage. This was not difficult for Zhang Chu. After all, he was also a sixth-grade Jinyiwei Baihu. He was very sure about his aura.
Liping, who was sitting behind the monitor, was secretly happy when he saw this. What he was most afraid of was that Zhang Chu couldn't even walk because of his nervousness.
He walked to the seat next to the protagonist group and sat down. The flute and sword in his hand were placed on the table with a "snap". Then take off your luggage and put it aside.
Not long after, the actor Chen Ying, who played Liu Hong, arrived and asked, "What would you like to eat, sir?"
I'm going to start pretending to be done with you!
"Give me a few plates of side dishes, take whatever you have, and bring me a pot of wine. Just Chen Shao!"
Zhang Chu didn't learn much about the acting methods taught by Fan Bingbing and Zhou Jie.
But he figured out another way to perform.
Jin Yiwei was often assigned to serve as spies in the homes of courtiers, so that the emperor could keep track of the courtiers' movements at all times.
But where it is easy to get into a wealthy family, the best way is to sneak in disguised as a slave while the family is buying someone.
At this time, what is needed is also acting skills. In order not to let people see the flaws, you must pretend to be something.
In addition, you must be good at imitating a person's words and deeds.
Zhang Chu is now imitating Lu Jianxing's sworn brother Shen Lian.
Why does it feel like it's not the same channel?
Chen Ying was slightly startled, then quickly pulled herself back into the role: "Does the guest officer only want to eat, or does he need accommodation?"
Zhang Chu's eyebrows were raised slightly. This was taught by Zhou Jie. The character's emotions should be reflected through his expressions. The audience should not be allowed to speculate on the character's heart at the moment, but should be clearly explained.
"Do you also provide accommodation?"
Meeting Zhang Chu's gaze, Chen Ying's heartbeat skipped a beat.
So handsome!
Male actors talk about female actors in private, and female actors talk about male actors.
Because Fan Bingbing and Zhang Chu were close, they would occasionally talk about this person.
It's a pity that with no background, no connections, no education, and no resources, being handsome is of no use.
But looking at it so close, you can't help but be attracted.
"good!"
Although he hesitated for two seconds, Chen Ying still caught the trick.
"Then, I also want a room, something more elegant and quiet!"
"Okay, guest!"
Chen Ying turned around and left quickly. With such a simple scene, she almost couldn't hold her breath.
Then, the protagonist group began to force Lai Lai on Xiao Jian, discussing his sword for a while, and talking about him for a while.
I heard it all!
Fortunately, the camera was not pointed at Zhang Chu at this moment, otherwise it would have captured the helplessness on his face.
After the wine and food were served, Zhang Chu didn't care where the camera was, and just drank by himself.
As a member of the sixth grade, Zhang Chu still knows how to pretend to be polite, and now it's time for him to show off his pretense.
After a few glasses of "wine", Zhang Chu took a chopstick, knocked on the wine pot, pretended to be drunk and recited a limerick: "Calligraphy, painting, music, chess, poetry, wine, everything was inseparable from him back then, but now all five things have changed. Flute, sword, country, poetry, wine and tea!”
He had seen literati drink too much and sing to their heart's content, but the poems they wrote were either about the mighty and magnificent rivers, or they pointed out the ills of the times and used the past to satirize the present.
Unlike him now, who is just moaning for no reason.
The protagonist group was shocked and "respected" Xiao Jian.
"What a loud tone! What a 'Xiao Jian Jiang Shan Shi Liqu Cha'!"
Ziwei was the first to let out an exclamation.
"The original last sentence of this poem was 'firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea'! He changed it like this, which is really impressive!"
Erkang was also full of praise.
"People change seven things, but he only changes five! Flute, sword, river, mountain, poetry, wine, tea. He carries a flute, a sword, and his words are extraordinary. This man must be a strange person!"
When Yong Qi spoke her lines, she still had an awkward accent.
"I'm not interested in those six things about him, but I'm very interested in that sword!"
Little Yanzi's big eyes kept rolling, trying to hold back something.
Zhang Chu felt goosebumps all over his body after hearing this. He tried hard not to leave the show. He drank another glass of wine, continued to tap the wine bottle with his chopsticks, and began to return to the scene.
"Wandering the rivers and lakes with a flute and a sword, a pot of wine filled with eternal love! Treading the earthly road with two feet, using the sky as a cover and the earth as a hut!"
"What a poem!"
Zhou Jie blurted out and looked at Zhang Chu with burning eyes.
"I want to get to know this character!"
What he was thinking about was that Zhang Chu's current method was completely different from what he taught and what he rehearsed in the dormitory last night. His voice always had a little bit of content in his voice, and he didn't have any eyebrows on his face.
This is a normal performance, like what they usually perform, it's called madness.
Little Yanzi also stood up and shouted: "I'll go too!"
Afterwards, everyone arrived at Zhang Chu’s table.
Zhou Jie cupped her fists and said, "I'm Falkang. I heard that you have a good conversation and I want to get to know you as a friend! What should I call you?"
The script said that Xiao Jian was going to stand up and return the favor with a graceful clasped fist.
But Zhang Chu didn't move. He put one arm on the table, leaned back, and raised his head slightly to look at everyone.
"My Xiaojian is not Xiao, but the Xiao of this Xiao, and the sword of this sword!"
Zhou Jie was stunned. He was familiar with the script, not only his own plays, but also other people's parts. Zhang Chu didn't stand up. Should the play continue?
Liping didn't shout stop.
Zhou Jie immediately returned to the play, waved her hand, and sat opposite Zhang Chu. This action was not in the script.
I saw him staring at Zhang Chu, as if he wanted to see through him: "Xiao Jian? Is this your real name? Where is your hometown?"
Zhang Chu retracted his arm, smiled sarcastically, looked at Zhou Jie, and said, "What about the real name? What about the fake name? It's just a name! Xiao Jian is wandering around the world, and he has long forgotten his origins and where his hometown is!"
At this moment, Zhang Chu felt that he was not himself, nor Xiao Jian, but Shen Lian. There was a bit of relief and a bit of loneliness in his tone.
Zhang Chu didn't have much contact with Shen Lian, and he didn't know much about his life history. He only heard Lu Jianxing mention that he was a person without a past.
Xiao Jian in the story has been devastated since his childhood, and he has been burdened with a blood feud. But when he found his separated sister, he found that she was with the son of his enemy, which made him feel extremely complicated.
At this moment, Xiao Yanzi suddenly reached out to pick up the sword, shouting: "Let me lend you this sword!"
Zhang Chu frowned, the sharpness in his eyes for a moment fleeting, and the aura emanating from his body was replaced by a frantic attempt to stop him: "Don't touch my sword!"
Little Yanzi was not willing to listen, so he quickly grabbed the sword and ran out the door.
"CUT!"
Liping finally shouted stop, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Zhang Chu's performance just now felt strange to them. Except for Zhou Jie, the others were obviously unable to keep up.
"Not bad, very good performance!"
Zhou Jie said something and then turned to look towards Liping.
Whether it's good or not depends on the director's intention!
"Zhang Chu, come here!"
Liping waved to this side, his expression a bit solemn.
Zhang Chu also understood what was going on. Both Fan Bingbing and Zhou Jie had told him that the performance style should be unified. He didn't know what his own style was, but it was obviously different from others.
But I really don’t want to wrong myself if I want him to act like others, changing eight expressions in one sentence and distinguishing high and low sounds.
