The time has entered August, and Zhang Chengyuan is still filming reversal dramas in the first two or three days of each week. On this day, he followed the crew to the Korean Folk Village in Gyeonggi Province, where he was going to shoot a reversal drama "Tears of the Knife", accompanied by actors such as Lee Jin, Jeon Hye-bin, Park Myung-so, Ha Luha, Seo Kyung-seok, Gu Junye and others.

Except for Li Zhen, Zhang Chengyuan's fixed couple partner in the reversal drama, the other actors are basically filming with Zhang Chengyuan for the first time. Among them, Jun Hye-bin and he know each other and are very close brother and sister, Ha Luha had a collaboration with him in the filming of last week's reversal drama "When She Wakes Up", but he is not very familiar; The others had barely even met him.

With Zhang Chengyuan's unsociable personality, after seeing these strange peers, except for politely saying hello, he didn't pay much attention to these people, and went to talk to Li Zhen and Quan Huibin. As a result, people who are not familiar with him and have never inquired about his character still think that he is arrogant by nature, and after he has high popularity, he looks down on ordinary actors, and slanders him. But people who know a little about Zhang Chengyuan know that he is just cold-faced and hot-hearted, and if they want to get acquainted with him, most of them must take the initiative and sincerely befriend him.

When they met, Park Myung-so and Ha Luha took the initiative to show favor to Zhang Chengyuan, praising his appearance, acting skills, popularity and matching with Li Zhen, of course, they did not say it in that flattering tone, but behaved very funny and witty, which made Zhang Chengyuan and Li Zhen happy when they heard it, and shortened the distance between several people at once, plus Zhang Chengyuan learned from them that they were also friends of Liu Zai-seok, so he also opened his heart to them a little and tried his best to get along with them. However, there is a big gap between his personality and these two people after all, so even if he becomes a friend, he will only be an ordinary friend, after all, he is not Liu Zaishi, a person who can become good friends with almost anyone.

After arriving at the Folk Village, having lunch in advance and taking a short rest, the crew began to prepare for filming, and for the actors, the first thing to prepare at this time is to put on costumes and make up.

"Tears of the Knife" is a reversal drama that mainly tells the story of a thief office officer in the Joseon Dynasty of the Lee family fighting wits and courage with two murderers. And the role that Zhang Chengyuan wants to play in the play is the official of the robbery department who specializes in investigating cases and catching murderers.

Compared with modern dramas, it is obviously much more troublesome to shoot costume dramas. In the play, Jang Sung-won not only has to wear the official uniform of the Raider Hall with several layers of fabric, a hood and a special felt hat for North Korean military attachés, but also has a thick and rough beard on his lips and chin, which not only looks very inconsistent with the aesthetics of Zhang Chengyuan, whose soul is still a Chinese person, but also very awkward to wear, and it is very inconvenient to move. The worst thing is that the hood has been worn for a long time, and the head is even hotter and uncomfortable, you must know that this is August, in the middle of summer.

In this case, Zhang Chengyuan only felt a little refreshed by running his true qi and trying his best to control the heat emitted from his head, but it was a bit too wasteful of true qi, which made him feel a little pity. However, compared to other actors with hoods, he is much more comfortable.

After a careful look in the mirror, Zhang Chengyuan was extremely dissatisfied with the outfit of his whole body, and the style of the sword in his only hand could still slightly enter his eyes.

After getting his outfit done, Jang Sung-won walked over to look at Li Zhen and Jun Hye-bin's outfits, he was a little curious about what their outfits looked like in the play, did they become more beautiful or did they become much uglier like him?

Jun Hye-bin plays the female catcher (also known as the tea mother) next to Jang Sung-won in the play, and her outfit looks quite miserable: the upper body is an unadorned monochrome rough cloth coat, and the color is so dull that it makes people irritated; The belt is a strip of black cloth two fingers wide, which is not aesthetically pleasing when tied around the waist; And there is also a strip of black cloth tied on his forehead, covering Quan Huibin's originally full and good-looking forehead, which feels very cumbersome; As for the rest of the part, it is even more lackluster, and Zhang Chengyuan is too lazy to look at it.

If Jun Huibin's face is covered at this time, it is really impossible to tell whether she is a man or a woman, it can be said that her outfit not only fails to highlight her original soft figure, but also indirectly loses her beautiful appearance by three points. In Zhang Chengyuan's view, this kind of shoddy and ugly costumes is definitely an image killer for actors, especially beautiful actresses!

Zhang Chengyuan walked up to her side and said with a smile: "Why is it so ugly? looks worse than the current country boy, Sister Hailin's outfit when she played "Tea Mother" is much better than yours. ”

Jun Hye-bin said: "Do you mean Ha Ji Won's seniors? How can I compare to her? Besides, we are filming a reversal drama, and it is not a formal historical drama, so there is no way to do it if the costumes are ugly! Brother Cheng Yuan, don't you look very rustic! ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head, nodded again, and said, "It's really rustic!" Especially this thick beard makes me look quite vulgar, and if I act in costume dramas again in the future, I will definitely not play this robbery hall official. ”

Quan Huibin looked at it and said, "I think it's still very good-looking, with a full forehead, a high nose bridge, eyes as dazzling as stars, a burly figure, a fierce momentum, and the masculine demeanor of a military attaché!" Brother Cheng Yuan, you are really a natural clothes rack, you look good in anything, of course, you will be more handsome and handsome in modern clothes. Well, this beard is really a little weird, why don't you let the makeup artist change it? ”

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head slightly and said: "Forget it, changing your beard is more troublesome than changing your clothes, so let's make do with it for the time being, I won't shoot for a few days anyway!" Well, let's not talk about it, let's go over and see Sister Zhen'er! ”

The two walked up to Li Zhen and glanced at her slightly, and Quan Huibin immediately let out an exclamation of envy: "Sister Li Zhen, you are so beautiful now!" ”

At this time, Li Zhen was wearing an elegant hanbok, her hair was the outfit of an unmarried woman in ancient times, tied into a braid style and placed on the back of her head, her forehead was completely exposed, her white skin, bright facial features, and big and bright eyes were also revealed. In Zhang Chengyuan's view, this is a kind of beauty without embellishment.

This kind of beauty reminded Jang Sung-won of the first time he saw Li Zhen in a school uniform, when she was still a third-year high school student, with fair skin, clear eyes, almost no distractions, innocence and naturalness, which made him almost fall into it. Although she is also very beautiful now, it also makes him more obsessed, but after all, she is much more mature, and the feeling of freshness and purity is gradually leaving her, but today's dress makes her seem to be back to seven years ago, like a girl, very fresh and moving, so that Zhang Chengyuan is reluctant to take his eyes off at all.

Originally, Quan Huibin's appearance was not inferior to Li Zhen, but due to the drag of the masculine clothes on her body, she was now overshadowed and disgraced in front of Li Zhen. She looked at Zhang Chengyuan staring at Li Zhen intently, thinking of his evaluation of herself just now, and suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

Zhang Chengyuan stepped forward to hold Li Zhen's hand and praised: "Sister Zhen'er, you are really beautiful today!" You're going to have to dress up like this for me all the time! ”

Li Zhen scolded softly: "Hurry up and let go, so many people are here, don't do anything to me!" Although many people in the crew and even outside the crew have guessed that she and Zhang Chengyuan are lovers, Li Zhen, who is relatively thin-skinned, still doesn't want to be too close to Zhang Chengyuan in public.

Zhang Chengyuan let go of his hand, but still stood beside her to talk to her, and praised her from time to time to make her happy. And Quan Huibin did not leave, sitting on the stone bench next to him and listening quietly, occasionally interjecting a few sentences, and there was no jealousy in his tone.

Seeing that Quan Huibin wanted to get together with Zhang Chengyuan at the first opportunity, how could Li Zhen not see Quan Huibin's affection for Zhang Chengyuan? But she didn't care much.

First, she has a gentle temperament, very considerate of Quan Huibin's mood, knowing that when a woman falls in love with a man, she always tries her best to get close to this man, when she wanted to complete Cheng Youli and Zhang Chengyuan, she also had this similar feeling, knowing that Lu Dao should not approach him, but always pounced on him like a moth to a fire.

Second, although Quan Huibin wanted to get close to Zhang Chengyuan, he behaved very neatly, and never destroyed the relationship between her and Zhang Chengyuan, so that she couldn't feel bad. And she believes in Zhang Chengyuan's feelings for the four sisters, even if he is occasionally attracted to other women, but his heart for the four sisters will never waver in the slightest! Because Zhang Chengyuan is the kind of man with a strong desire to possess, as long as he takes possession, he will never give it up, even if they want to take the initiative to leave him, he will not allow it, he will try his best to occupy them forever! So she wasn't worried that Jang Sung-won would leave her and her sisters because of Jun Hye-bin.

At the beginning of filming, Jang Sung-won, Jun Hye-bin and several other actors took the lead in starting filming, while Lee Jin watched Jang Sung-won act while reviewing his lines.

Zhang Chengyuan's acting skills are still as superb as before, and his every move and every look is full of momentum, as if there is a powerful aura, which makes other actors suddenly feel slightly out of breath, and also forces them to focus extremely on the performance, for fear of making mistakes. In fact, it's not a big deal to make a few mistakes once in a while, even the director won't reprimand, let alone what a young actor like Jang Sung-won can do to them. But for some reason, as long as they are filming in front of the camera at the same time as Jang Sung-won, they can't help but want to be more serious and want to act better.

And when filming with Zhang Chengyuan, they seem to be more likely to enter the state of acting, and they are more able to express the emotions brewing in their hearts.

In addition to Li Zhen, Ha Luha, who played with Zhang Chengyuan last week, has a deep understanding, he had a feeling of being at home when he was filming last week, and he acted very happily, and after filming, he thought that his acting skills had increased greatly. However, when he went to other crews to make cameo appearances with great interest, he suddenly found that his acting skills had dropped to the original level, and he thought that the last time his acting skills increased greatly was an accident. However, this time he worked with Jang Sung-won again, and he found once again that the feeling that he could do whatever he wanted and stretch his mind suddenly returned, and it seemed that as long as he was filming with Jang Sung-won, this feeling would always exist.

After taking a few shots, he couldn't help but think: "Could it be that Zhang Chengyuan is my lucky star?" How come it is that when I meet him, I will have good luck and my acting skills will be greatly improved? ”

And the other actors don't understand why they suddenly perform so well today, as if they have completely brought out their usual best level, and sometimes even over-performed!

Maybe only a few people present, including Li Zhenhe and the director, knew exactly that Lu Dao was Zhang Chengyuan's credit, but they didn't know what the real reason for Lu Dao was, thinking that it might be that Zhang Chengyuan's outstanding performance stimulated other actors and made them focus 100% on acting, so they naturally performed even better.

As for what the real reason is? Even Zhang Chengyuan himself couldn't really say clearly, he only knew that this was the side effect of his increasingly stable and powerful Yuan Shen.

After more than two months of hard work, his cultivation broke through the original barrier and entered the primary stage of "refining qi and transforming gods", perhaps because he already had the original gods, or because the vitality of heaven and earth was thin, this time his cultivation broke through and did not cause any changes in heaven and earth.

However, it has improved his ability a lot, not only solving the problem that he was too deep in the play in the past and often couldn't wake up automatically, but also allowed him to vaguely convey the scenes he imagined to the surrounding actors through the Yuan Shen when filming, and indirectly guide other actors to act in the way and feelings he understands, so as to help them act more excitingly. Therefore, the actors who played with him before felt that their acting skills had suddenly increased a lot.

Of course, Zhang Chengyuan did not really want to help them enthusiastically, but just to save his own shooting time. Since many of the actors who shoot reversal dramas are not professional actors, they often make some small mistakes when filming, resulting in multiple reshoots, which wastes too much time. In order to avoid this situation, Zhang Chengyuan resorted to this method.

In addition, if he is playing with professional actors such as Li Zhen and others with good acting skills, Zhang Chengyuan will not use this trick, at most, he will use the power of the Yuan Shen to drive them into the play faster, because if he does this, it will obviously hinder the growth of Li Zhen and others' acting skills, in addition, it is not necessarily that every time he understands the script and role, he can understand it better and more appropriate than Li Zhen and others, so the effect may not be satisfactory!
