You Hongsheng took a long time to prepare for this play, although he was strict in terms of actors and scripts, but at the start-up ceremony, he simply followed the tradition to make arrangements such as offering tables and incense cases, because the crew and actors were not all in place, it was a little lacking in momentum, not to mention that because the director explicitly forbade hype before and after filming, it seemed a little deserted.

"From today on, "The Legend of Zhaori" will be officially launched," You Hongsheng stood on the steps and looked at the various crowds below, he couldn't help but squint by the sun, and his face was a long-lost smile, "This drama is my hard work for many years, I hope you can support you on the set, let's shoot this drama together, and it is not in vain for everyone to get together, and when the filming is over, I will definitely seal a big red envelope for everyone." ”

The people below heard that the director was going to seal a big red envelope, although there was no shadow before the filming was over, but it did not prevent the people below from smiling, and there was an endless stream of applause and cheers for a while.

"Alright, let's all get together and start working hard!" You Hongsheng waved his hand, and the people below immediately returned to everyone, and the set was instantly busy.

"According to the arrangement of the training plan, you and You Yongze will get acquainted with them first, and when the etiquette teacher comes in the afternoon, we will have an etiquette class first.

"Okay, director." Several people around agreed one after another.

After the etiquette teacher arrived in the afternoon, everyone began to learn the etiquette of the Tianyuan Dynasty, You Hongsheng followed from beginning to end, and discussed with the etiquette teacher from time to time, and Ji Linglan was specially pointed out in the middle to teach alone, and later everyone learned that the director was also half a historian, and he knew this history very well, and even the script was written by him himself.

"I'm really tired," Ji Linglan leaned against the wall with a sweaty face, looking at You Yongze, who was not far away from the etiquette teacher who taught him a little bit of imperial etiquette, his eyes were full of admiration and appreciation, "This little handsome guy is not only good-looking, but also dedicated enough to filming, I remember that he practiced like this for more than two hours, and he never stopped in the middle." ”

"The host should also work harder, and the one next to you is doing a good job." The system urges the lily of the valley in a flat tone, while not forgetting to praise the high-risk sources in its definition.

Ji Linglan squinted at the girl next to her, her every move was serious and cautious, and her etiquette movements were elegant and graceful, if it weren't for the crystal clear sweat flowing down her forehead, it would have made people ignore that she had been studying for more than two hours without interruption.

"Even if you work hard, she is not a heroine anyway, and learning these will not be useful." was reminded several times by the system, Ji Linglan is now a little irritable when she sees this girl named Rong Rui'an, one moment is a high-risk danger source that threatens her to become an international actress, and another time she is a good student, always reminding herself that there is such an obstacle around her, which is really unpleasant, "Anyway, she is my stand-in, even if she is really on camera at that time, she can't show her face, and now she has studied so hard, who knows if it is to please the director." ”

The system was silent for a moment before saying, "The host should not be presumptuous. ”

"Okay, I know, don't be verbose, I can't learn!" Ji Linglan didn't want to be compared to others, so she complained a few words and continued to get up and practice.

Closed training is very boring, Ren Jia began to cooperate with Li Linglan in pairs after learning etiquette, Ji Linglan began to learn some simple martial arts movements, and strive to get a good picture effect in front of the camera, as for the more difficult ones, Ren Jia personally went into battle, after learning, she also had to practice Wei Ya with Wu Zhi, after all, many martial arts scenes in this play are more difficult, otherwise You Hongsheng would not have planned to find a professional female martial artist from the beginning.

"Stabilize the center of gravity, stabilize the center of gravity," Wu Zhi took the walkie-talkie and commanded Ren Jia's movements below, "Xiao An, don't be busy with the movements first, find the center of gravity of the body first, and then we will start to try the movements, we can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, let's seek stability first." ”

Although Ren Jia had never hung Weiya before, this kind of borrowing power out of thin air was not difficult for her, it was nothing more than personal control of the body, so it only took five minutes to come up, and she firmly controlled the center of gravity of her body and made a few simple movements.

"These looks are good, let's try other moves, you try to see if you can do two back-and-forth flips," Seeing that Ren Jia got started so quickly, the command of the martial arts was also very easy, and there was a smile on his face, "Don't be too violent, one qiē is safety-oriented, if you can't do it, don't force it." ”

"I don't think it's a big problem, I'll try it first." Ren Jia said a few words into the microphone, carefully mobilizing his body to try a backflip, although the back action is a little inadequate, but from the perspective of the picture effect in the camera, the overall is still satisfactory.

"It's been hanging for more than half an hour, you come down first and rest for a while, and then we'll coordinate the action arrangement." Wu Zhi commanded the people around him to lower the tightrope slowly, and when Ren Jia came down, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "The little girl can't see that this is the first time to hang Weiya, the movements are very good, and the control of the body is also in place, I think it won't be long before you can officially leave the school." ”

"It's all Master Qin, you brought it well." Ren Jia took the towel handed by the crew, wiped his sweat and praised it casually.

"The little girl is really good at talking." Wu Zhi laughed twice, and said a few more words with Ren Jia before calling another Wu Zhi to discuss the martial arts action.

"What do you think?" The assistant director looked at the few people talking in the camera, and glanced at his old friend with a smile on his face, "I just said that this little girl is not simple." ”

You Hongsheng frowned slightly, looking at the girl talking and laughing with people in the camera, under the sun, the girl's posture was tall like a green bamboo, and even when she was relaxed, her back was ready to go, just looking at the back, you could feel the stubbornness and unyielding in this person.

"I think we're in trouble," the assistant director patted his old friend on the shoulder, with some distress on his face, "I'm afraid that the two protagonists you've decided on are going to have problems." ”

"It's too early to draw conclusions, let's see." You Hongsheng dodged his old friend's hand sideways, and looked at the girl in the camera intently.

"Qin Wuzhi, can you come over for a while?" You Hongsheng opened his mouth and called the people around Ren Jia over, and said in a cautious tone, "When you try out later, can you adjust it, we have some requirements here, you can see if you can redesign the action." ”

"Since it's what you mean, director, I'm definitely better to be respectful." Qin Wuzhi responded with a smile, he has been running the crew for so many years, no one has ever seen him, this time he can enter You Hongsheng's group, one is good at kung fu, and the other is also related to his ability to be a man, otherwise this fat difference will not fall into his hands, after all, it is not easy to mix martial arts now, especially it is rare to have a big crew who is willing to spend money on martial arts.

Ren Jia sat on the stool and drank half a bottle of water to rest for a while, Hanging Weiya was really tired, she kept changing her movements according to the requirements of Wu Zhi, and she also had to control her body not to deviate, and it was really enough to choke after a lap.

Looking at the people who were muttering and discussing with the director not far away, she smiled calmly, although she wanted to snatch the heroine of Ji Lily of the Valley, but she would not use too inferior means, she could only say that she had her own ability, if the director really planned to give her a chance, she would be unceremoniously in her pocket, but she didn't expect that she would meet this script in this world, You Hongsheng? It seems to have something to do with the Youan River?

Ren Jia thought about it for a while, and saw Wu Zhi, who had finished talking to the director, walking in front of him with some embarrassment, "Xiao An, the next action is a little difficult, if you feel that you can't finish it or are too difficult, just sue me, after all, you haven't done special training before, we still focus on gradual progress." ”

"Then it's troublesome Master Qin." Ren Jia opened her arms sideways and asked people to tie a Weiya rope and protective belt to herself, and slowly rose into the air under the control of the crane arm, she controlled her body's center of gravity, and coordinated her movements in a short time, and maintained her shape while taking off, Qin Wuzhi, who was observing from the side, nodded again and again, sure enough, God appreciates food, and she can do this kind of Cheng for the first time.

"Okay, is Xiao An in place, get ready, let's try a few moves, if you think it's difficult or too dangerous in the middle, we'll stop changing other moves immediately." Afraid that the little girl would be competitive and reluctant to force herself the first time she went up, Qin Wuzhi also said a few extra words, which provoked the director and assistant director next to him to roll their eyes.

"No problem, let's get started." After Ren Jia signaled that he was ready, he gestured downward.

"Let's get started, you guys pay attention to the camera." You Hongsheng said hello to a few ideas next to him and motioned for them to hurry up and follow.

Under the guidance of Wu Zhi, Ren Jia began to try to move from slow to urgent, whether it was a simple rotation, somersault or a difficult aerial coherent action, all of which were completed meticulously, especially the last aerial tumbling assassination action, which not only controlled the body balance well in the rolling, but also accurately completed the assassination action when landing, the whole process was beautiful and neat, the landing was smooth and accurate, and even the final assassination blow brought out a bit of murderous aura, and the director who saw it outside the camera frowned.

"I suddenly feel that I don't think we've had a lot of luck this time," the assistant director touched his nose, remembering the bet the two had just made, and felt that his old friend was going to be angry this time, "Two good seedlings, it depends on what you plan." ”

"I know what I know." You Hongsheng motioned to his old friend not to worry, while he stared intently at the girl inside and outside the camera.

Sensing the lingering eyes on her body, Ren Jia said hello to the director and the rest of the crew after removing the Weiya rope and protective belt with the help of others, and went back to the room to change her clothes.

After she arrived at the training room, Ji Linglan was already familiar with You Yongze and the others, and they were very warm with each other, and after Ren Jia said hello to the smiling fan, she found a corner to concentrate on training.

"Is this your female martial artist in the play, she looks very young, but she looks good." You Yongze laughed with Ji Lily of the Valley, and when he saw that the other party's face was a little ugly, he didn't say anything more and continued to concentrate on training.

In the entertainment industry, there is never a shortage of intrigues, depending on who uses what means. He half-raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and did his own thing indifferently, anyway, he was just a supporting actor, even if the heroine changed more, it had nothing to do with him, but if he could take the line of You Hongsheng......

Before class the next day, Ren Jia was called to You Hongsheng's temporary office alone, looking at the rearranged training schedule in her hand, she looked up and glanced at the director as if asking, You Hongsheng said calmly, "I took a look, your current training progress can still keep up, and the etiquette teacher also reflects that your performance is good, so from today onwards, you will follow the new schedule." ”

Ren Jia was silent for a moment, then smiled gently, "I know, thank you director." ”

"You go ahead and get busy." You Hongsheng waved his hand to signal people to leave, and he continued to hold the messy script and continue to revise.

Ji Linglan's eyelids jumped hard early in the morning, and when she found out in the afternoon that Rong Rui'an had started to take the same course as herself, her face was very ugly.

"Is the director planning to change people?" She asked the wisdom brain in her mind very carefully, "Obviously, I am applying for the heroine, when did Wu Tie also start to take the role of heroine?" ”

"The system has already determined that the other party is a high-risk source of danger, please be careful and vigilant for the host." The system responds to the host who finally has a sense of crisis in the same flat tone as ever.

"What, obviously I turned on the actress mode and finally succeeded in applying for this role," Ji Linglan couldn't help but complain, "Didn't Rong Ruian apply for the martial arts job, what does the director think, do you really plan to make her the heroine?" ”

"The host keeps trying." The system said only one sentence and then kept silent.

"Jiajia, the mission progress has been 2%." 1528 reminded the master beside him, and when he saw Ji Lily of the Valley's blue and black face, he secretly laughed in his heart.

"It seems that as long as you rob her of the opportunity and completely suppress Ji Lily of the Valley to make waves in this world, there will be no big problem with the mission, you remember to recover that intruder in the end." After Ren Jia warmed up, he began to follow the training teacher.

When Ren Jia and Ji Lily Lan went to the set to find the director after class, they found that the faces of the two directors were very ugly, and the people around them tried to make quiet movements, so as not to provoke the director's blue eyes.

"Lao You, it's not a matter to drag it out like this, if you don't come up with a charter today, I'm afraid this drama will really not be filmed." The assistant director rubbed his tense brows and persuaded him with some embarrassment.

"If you really do what they say, you know in your heart what my good drama will look like in the end." You Hongsheng's face is extremely ugly, it's not that he can't understand how to stuff people into the crew, as long as he is well adjusted, he can make a living in a good performance, and he can be ruthless in the post-editing, but this is a random change of script, adding palace fights, adding rivers and lakes, and emotional scenes, he doesn't have to think about what kind of monster he is in the end, and years of hard work have been in vain, which is tantamount to cutting his heart.

"The contract has been signed, and we must not go back on it," for fear that the old friend would be angry and play tricks, the assistant director persuaded him, "I know this is your favorite, and I am reluctant to change the script, but according to your script, this scene is indeed too little to watch, after all, we are making film and television dramas, not documentaries, you have to figure this out." ”

"Let me think again." You Hongsheng only gave this sentence in the end.

"The producer has arrived last night, this is to give you face so he didn't come to the scene, if you can't come up with a charter tonight, even if they value you again, I'm afraid they won't let you mess around, after all, such a big stall is here." The assistant director closed his mouth after two sentences of persuasion, after all, he was in this circle, and everyone knew it in their hearts, and they would stop when they clicked.

"You're done training?" Turning around and seeing the two leading actors standing side by side in the distance, the assistant director greeted with a smile, "It just so happens that two scenes are arranged today, and the two of you come over to try out the position and camera sense, after all, the two of you are not more experienced than others, and you are both newcomers in this regard." ”

Ren Jia and Ji Suzulan stepped forward and took the two pages handed over by the assistant director, there were really only some simple actions and lines on the thin paper, Ji Suzuran glanced at the girl next to her, and her heart was determined, the actress mode she used in front of the camera was not ordinary, according to the words of the system, it was a simulated high-level acting skills belonging to other worlds, if Rong Ruian simply thought that she could defeat her to the top position, it would be too underestimate her.

"Half an hour to prepare, you go and prepare first." Recruited a makeup artist to take the two to try on makeup and change clothes, and the assistant director began to arrange for the scene to clear people.

"You two have good face shapes, and you belong to the skin type that is easy to put on makeup," the makeup artist is a middle-aged woman surnamed Yao, everyone in the crew calls her Sister Yao, she smiled and recruited the little apprentice, "I'm in charge of Lily of the Valley, you are in charge of Xiao An, dress up early, and the director will wait for the start later." ”

"There is Sister Lao Yao, who doesn't know that you have good skills," Ji Linglan smiled and said, "We all rely on you in front of the camera." ”

"Young people are sweet-mouthed." Sister Yao smiled and took a sentence and concentrated on makeup, and Ren Jia also closed her eyes and let the little apprentice put on makeup.

The costumes of the protagonists in the crew are not yet in place, and Sister Yao arranged a simple and plain dress for the two, although the photogenic effect is average, but there will be no mistakes.

"Now that you're ready, let's try it, which of you will come first?" After getting ready, I finally saw the two protagonists appear, and the assistant director greeted him from afar.

Ji Linglan looked at the quiet girl beside her, and answered with a lively smile, "Director, I'll come first." As he spoke, he walked into the scene and found his place.

"Everyone, get ready, the first and second cameras are adjusted," the assistant director shouted at the scene with a loudspeaker, signaling the cameraman, lighting, recording engineer and others to get ready, "! ”

The theme of the audition is the inner play, mainly interpreting the moment when Liang Yiyun decided to join the army, in the scene, Ji Linglan suddenly frowned, suddenly smiled and mocked, and the action pacing was matched with the changing facial expression, which vividly expressed a girl's decision to join the army, especially the rhythm of the feet and the fit of the movements on the face, which is more rendering when looking in front of the camera.

"Not bad." Rao is assistant director has seen it once, and he still has to praise this girl's acting skills under the camera, Rao is he has some expectations for Rong Rui'an in his heart, and he is a little lighter when he sees this performance.

"Ruian, you can come and try it too." Seeing that Ji Lily of the Valley finished performing, You Hongsheng motioned for Ren Jia to step forward, and when the two of them staggered by, seeing the provocative smile on the corner of Ji Lily of the Valley's mouth, Ren Jia couldn't see it.

"Director, I'm ready." Ren Jia stood still in front of the camera, and his calm appearance made Ji Liling Lan not far away unhappy.

"Attention to the first and second machines," You Hongsheng made a gesture towards Ren Jia, "! ”

Ren Jia in the lens is expressionless, her eyes are empty, looking at the direction of the camera as if looking for the focus, slowly she took a step, her eyes have changed between the opening and closing of her eyelashes, if she was a misty girl just now, she became a simple and free warrior in an instant, she took a step slowly in front of the camera, and the focus of her eyes almost made people feel the sharpness that ushered in, as if there was a sword in her heart.

The performance has reached this point, and it is natural to call it off, and the assistant director has hidden worries, and it is a good thing that both of them are excellent, but ...... Seeing that his friend was not going to stop, he had to continue to press.

Ren Jia in the camera has changed her movements again, she leaned over as if she had picked up something, and when everyone saw her drawing her sword, they realized that she had indeed put a sword in front of her just now, and her sharp gaze went from the hilt to the tip of the sword, until a few smiles burst out at the corner of the girl's mouth, and You Hongsheng announced the end of the audition with an ugly face.

As soon as the audition ended, the two directors left the set in a hurry together, Ren Jia walked out of the camera, looked at the whispers of the people around him and Ji Linglan's mocking eyes, and went directly to the dressing room to change clothes.

"Why is your face so ugly?" When they arrived at the temporary office of the two, the assistant director saw that his old friend was still ugly, and reassured, "Even if Xiao An's performance is not good enough, it is a bit too much for you to leave directly like this, the little girl is thin-skinned after all." ”

"Haven't you seen it yet?" You Hongsheng's face was still ugly, but his eyes were extremely hot, "The performances of these two girls are one method and one experience. ”

"So what, the performance school from the professional class is good, and the experience school also has advantages, but if it is really a simple drama, it must be Ji Linglan who is more suitable, even if Xiao An is good, but the performance is really rough." The assistant director truthfully stated his impressions.

"That's because you don't know enough about the character of Liang Yiyun," You Hongsheng brushed aside the loose hair on his forehead, his breath was heavy, and the heat in his eyes was almost burning, "You know that I like the character of Liang Yiyun, since I entered my grandfather's study at the age of seven, I have been thinking about this girl who was highly respected by the ancestors of the You family eight hundred years ago, you must know that she was only twenty-one years old when she died!" You Hongsheng couldn't help but walk back and forth in the room, "At the age of seventeen, she received the emperor's holy order to rebuild the left and right leading guards, and at the age of twenty-one, Quma River Beach died on the battlefield, during which the king of the Ping domain destroyed the family, this is the life that everyone knows in her history!" ”

"I know, you calm down first." The assistant director stepped forward and pressed his old friend, You Hongsheng has high blood pressure, and it is really not good for the body to be so excited.

"You don't know!" You Hongsheng took a few breaths and waved away his old friend's hand, his face glowing red, "If Lily of the Valley's performance is the daughter of a eunuch who has finally made up her mind to join the army, then Rui An," he said slowly in a heavy tone, "She is really the general Zhaori who has been stored in my imagination and dreams." ”

The assistant director was speechless at this time, he understood the obsession of his old friend, and he also knew the importance of this drama to him, it can be said that "The Legend of Zhaori" embodies the dreams and painstaking efforts of the first half of his life, but filming is always filming, and everyone must abide by the rules.

"And what are you going to do now?" In the end, there was only one question he could ask.

"For me, it's about making dreams come true." You Hongsheng only gave this sentence in the end.

The assistant director was helpless, patted his old friend on the shoulder, turned around and went out, the producer is coming tonight, and now he is facing a storm of changing roles, this kind of house leak happens to be a bad thing in the overnight rain, and he feels that his hair will turn white for a day of worrying.

"Is it dealt with?" The deep male voice was transmitted along the earpiece to the other side, although Jiang Chen's doubts and helplessness were complicated and intertwined, it did not prevent him from handling the things explained by the boss neatly, "Don't worry, all the formalities have been handled, and we can fly directly to City A later." ”

"Good." Feeling the satisfaction and pleasure revealed in the boss's tone, Jiang Chen looked at the brand-new contract in his hand and sighed silently, hoping that it would be smooth.
