Chapter 9: In and Out of the Play
9 a.m.
When the camera officially started filming, the crew also planned to arrange artificial rain outside the broken temple, the main purpose of this move is that the director wants to try to create a scene for the audience in the play where people in the play hide in the broken temple because they are hiding from the rain.
I saw that the crew was already full of voices, the set, lighting, photography and other crew members were busy coming and going, and the blazing headlights illuminated the broken temple, which was unusually lively.
Due to the narrow space of the broken temple, it is inconvenient for too many staff to walk back and forth in it, although Lin Xiaoguang is dressed as a scholar in the play, before the camera officially starts filming, he is still responsible for helping to remove the props.
But fortunately, when Lin Xiaoguang was fine on the set before, he would occasionally help the staff carry some things, so for him, this is just a gesture.
As for the script, at the suggestion of Lin Xiaoguang, director Hu Mingkai and screenwriter Huang Haohua held a small temporary meeting, and after some discussion, Huang Haohua listened to Hu Mingkai's opinion and corrected several mistakes in the script on the spot, including changing the birthplace of "Ruan Wenhao" from the original Suzhou to Changshan, which is now known as Shijiazhuang.
"Guys in place!"

Outside ......the ruined temple, rain fell from the sky.
The camera that was in place in the broken temple in advance was diagonally facing the door, Zhou Ji, Shi Xiaolong, and Li Bingbing walked into the broken temple in a panic, and Lin Xiaoguang and two other young actors who played candidates came head-on.
The camera pans slowly, turning the lens to the front.
Lin Xiaoguang walked in front slowly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Zhou Yu and the three of them who had just stepped into the broken temple: "It's such a coincidence, everyone is sheltering from the rain here." β
Zhou Yu glanced at the three of them, and then said with both hands: "Bao Zheng in Xialuzhou, I came to Beijing to take the exam for the next time, and I dare to ask my brothers' surnames and names." β
Lin Xiaoguang continued: "Changshan Ruan Wenhao." β
Zhou Yu nodded: "Brother Wen Hao." β
"In the next Zhang Jing. β
Zhou Yu nodded again: "Brother Zhang Jing." β
Taiyuan asked to the sky. β
Zhou Yu nodded again: "Brother Tianwen." β
β¦β¦
The etiquette between ancient scholars is trouble, and they ended a rigid and polite self-introduction, and they learned from each other that both parties were scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam in the same year, so Li Bingbing, who played the female number one Ling Chuchu in the play, smiled and sighed: "You are all candidates of the same year, it is really fateful." β
Who knows, as soon as the words fell, Lin Xiaoguang smiled contemptuously and said bluntly: "Yes, yes, there is a fate to meet, but at the same time, it is also your misfortune." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar and turned their eyes to Lin Xiaoguang.
Ignoring the surprised eyes of others, Lin Xiaoguang felt sorry for them from the bottom of his heart: "If it wasn't for Ruan's sudden illness in the last imperial examination, he would have been the leader long ago. This time with you in the same subject, it can be said that you are unlucky. β
Seeing Lin Xiaoguang so conceited, actor Tan Xiongbin, who played Xiang Tianwen, said to Lin Xiaoguang unconvinced: "Brother Wen Hao, you are sick, and you can still say that it is a crime of non-war, but I asked Xiang Tian but I read the wrong test questions, so I was defeated." β
"Oh...... I see...... "In the face of such unashamed remarks from the two candidates, Zhou Yi pretended to be suddenly enlightened, but a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes.
"Otherwise, by my strength...... Ahem, don't mention it. Xiang Tian asked and stopped, obviously losing interest and not wanting to talk more.
At this moment, Shi Xiaolong, who played Zhanzhao, stood up for Bao Zheng, and he said in a milky voice, but full of jokes: "The implication, the position of champion, turned out to be what you have in your pocket?"
"It's a pity that you guys are not lucky, you just happened to run into our big brother Bao!"
β¦β¦
The first scene of the fifth unit was filmed here, everything is normal, whether it is the actor Zhou Ji, or the heroine Li Bingbing, or a group of supporting actors, everyone's performance is in place.
Hu Mingkai sat behind the monitor and nodded secretly, he was quite complaining about the assistant director at the beginning for handing over the important supporting role of this unit to an extra, so he deliberately took the script in the morning and deliberately made things difficult for Lin Xiaoguang, but he didn't expect that Lin Xiaoguang's performance in front of the camera actually made his eyes shine.
Although there is nothing particularly outstanding, Lin Xiaoguang's performance has also reached the level of 70 points, which has exceeded his psychological expectations.
When the scene where everyone broke the temple and met was filmed, at the moment when Hu Mingkai shouted "card", Lin Xiaoguang and Zhou Jie were very close.
When playing, Lin Xiaoguang and Zhou Ji both faced the camera, but not long after filming, Zhou Ji suddenly turned around and suddenly took an iron rod used by Shi Xiaolong in the play in his hand to play, but he didn't expect that he turned around seemingly inadvertently, and the stick handle in his hand happened to hit Lin Xiaoguang's eyes.
Because of the previous unpleasant experiences, Lin Xiaoguang was particularly worried about acting with Zhou Ji, but now, Lin Xiaoguang became even more speechless.
"Hiss......" Lin Xiaoguang lowered his head and covered his eyes, sweating profusely in pain, just at this time, his scene today had been filmed, so director Hu Mingkai asked him to rest next to him first.
After a while, Zhou Yu stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lin Xiaoguang couldn't tell whether he was hypocritical or true, so he hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay", but he thought in his heart: "You are playing Bao Qingtian, not Nanxia Zhanzhao, what kind of stick you have nothing to do!"
However, even if he had any thoughts in his heart, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't say it directly to his face.
In the crew of "Young Bao Qingtian", Lin Xiaoguang still has five or six scenes to film, and the most important thing is that he has to face Zhou Ji in every scene, unless Lin Xiaoguang has already planned to roll up and leave, otherwise, if he and Zhou Ji are tough in the crew, he will only suffer in the end.
The reason why he didn't bother with Zhou Ji was that he felt that the intrigue was boring, and besides, he was here to film.
From the inner level, Lin Xiaoguang filmed this drama not just to make money, although the basic salary is definitely there, but it is not bad for two hundred yuan.
has been in Hengdian for more than half a year, "Ruan Wenhao" should be Lin Xiaoguang's most cherished role, although Ruan Wenhao does not appear in many scenes, but at least, in this role, he felt for the first time a responsibility and pride as an actor.
In his previous life, Lin Xiaoguang was crazy obsessed with a movie, that is, Stephen Chow's - "The King of Comedy", and it was because of this drama that he really began to like the profession of actor.
"Actually, I'm an actor. β
Every time he thinks of this sentence, Lin Xiaoguang will get a kind of encouragement invisibly.
In "The King of Comedy", when others questioned the identity of Yin Tianqiu (played by Stephen Chow) many times, he replied many times, "Actually, I am an actor." β
Yes, that's right, Lin Xiaoguang feels that he is also an actor, an upright professional actor.
As an actor, whether it is the soy sauce role he has filmed before, or the "Ruan Wenhao" he played this time, Lin Xiaoguang has paid 100% of his sincerity and efforts.
Now that he has taken over the play "Young Bao Qingtian", Lin Xiaoguang hopes that he can start and finish and create the role of "Ruan Wenhao" well, so that he can live up to himself and Feilong's trust in him.
As for Zhou Ji......
There is a good saying, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood.
If Zhou Yu relented, Lin Xiaoguang would endure it until his role was filmed.
If Zhou Wei is endless, or even worse, then I'm sorry, Lin Xiaoguang is going to die, and he will be buried with him.
Ahem......
This sentence seems to say...... It's a bit of a rhetoric.
It's just a film, you can't die, it's really time to endure it, Lin Xiaoguang at most found an opportunity to beat Zhou Ji and vent the evil anger in his heart, but the world is unpredictable, and the person who is beaten in the end may also be Lin Xiaoguang himself.
Staring at Zhou Ji who was standing with his back to him in front of him, Lin Xiaoguang suddenly decided to let go of his grievances and turn his hostility into a jade silk.
So, he said to Zhou Ji without being humble or arrogant: "Brother Ji, what happened last time was a misunderstanding, I hope you understand, I definitely didn't mean to laugh at you, if there is anything bad about me filming, you also tell me, I will adjust it immediately." β
However, Zhou Ji twisted his head away, didn't even look at him, and said loudly: "Each has its own performance." β
This voice, to Lin Xiaoguang's ears, was like an emperor's holy decree.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't bother to be bored, but he didn't expect it to be over......
Lin Xiaoguang's butt was not hot yet, Zhou Wei only settled down for a while, and then went over and said to director Hu Mingkai again: "Director, this actor is too new, has no sense of camera, no experience, I'm afraid it will drag on the schedule of the whole play, and it's still too late to change people." β
β¦β¦
Hearing what Zhou Ji said to the director, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but gasp.
At this moment, Zhou Yu is a person, Lin Xiaoguang has no way to describe it in words.
Originally, Lin Xiaoguang thought that after this period of contact, he was enough to explain Zhou Ji, but ......
Lin Xiaoguang felt that he was still too young, and he couldn't figure out what Zhou Ji had in his head.
