Become a dramatist from today

Duan Xiaolou: played by Yuan Xiangshi

Fourth Master Yuan: played by Dong Gong

Juxian: played by Li Menglu

Cheng Dieyi: played by Huang Baiyou

The main character is Wan'er, and the supporting characters are also Wan'er. The theater owner is played by Mr. Lou, Master Guan is played by Miao Jianghe, and even the perverted Eunuch Zhang (the eunuch who violated the young Cheng Dieyi) is also a respected veteran artist.

The lineup in front of the curtain is luxurious, and the lineup behind the scenes is even more gorgeous.

The soundtrack, editing, lighting, costume design, and action direction are all top players. For example, Mr. Zhao, the photographer, is one of the "Three Heroes of Pingtan."

Pingtan Three Masters is a competition launched by Hong Kong and Taiwan photographers in Pingtan in the 1990s, and it also has the taste of challenging mainland photographers.

The three photographers who then emerged, I won’t say much about the specific events, but they basically represent the high level of mainland photographers.

After gathering such a team for the director, Yu Mo was in a state of excitement from the beginning.

How excited exactly?

Only one-third of today's shooting schedule was completed because Yu Mo was too focused on perfection.

"This one is probably the one where Director Yu has bet on all the movies, so it's normal to be strict." Dong Gong enlightened Li Menglu.

Li Menglu was scolded for being autistic today. She was NGed seven times in a row. The extras, set managers, and leading actors...all from top to bottom did not dare to stroke the director's beard.

Dong Gong is not easy either, he has been NGed a lot, so comforting Li Menglu is also comforting himself.

"Well, okay." Li Menglu replied briefly.

Dong Gong said, "Well, so don't think too much, just play your role well."

"Come on." Li Menglu, who was afraid of society, really didn't know what to say, so she could only reply like this.

"..." A little embarrassed, Dong Gong coughed twice, then pretended to leave as if nothing had happened.

Li Menglu continued to ponder the script. The reason for the frequent NGs was the director's pursuit of excellence, but the bigger factor was her own poor acting skills.

[(I’ve never seen lusty hungry ghosts like you, no, what are the people who come to this kind of place other than hungry ghosts?)

Duan Xiaolou looked back and saw the prostitutes pestering Juxian.

Juxian: "Tell you, I'm really anxious."

Prostitutes: "It's okay to be anxious..."

Juxian: "If you make trouble again, I will jump."

Prostitute A: "Jump, you jump on the front foot, and I'll jump on the back foot. I'd rather die under the flowers than be a ghost."

In the courtyard, the small building looks upward.

...]

"Is everything okay?" Master Yuan Xiang said.

Why is there another one? Li Menglu was speechless, but the other party also had good intentions, so she had to hold back her anger.

Li Menglu shook her head, "It's okay."

"Don't worry or doubt yourself, I also set a record today." Yuan Xiangshi said.

"Well, I'll keep going." Li Menglu said.

"...Yeah." Master Yuan Xiang nodded and continued, "If you have any questions about acting, you can ask -"

Choking, Master Yuan Xiang wanted to say that he could ask me, but then he thought of the Buddha Huang Baiyou in the crew, so he quickly changed his mind and said, "Ask Thirteen."

"I know." Li Menglu nodded.

Seeing that she was almost comforted, Master Yuan Xiang also left. After a while, two people came to comfort her.

A woman who is scolded like this by the director on the set will definitely be a little frustrated. People from the same crew will naturally give encouragement. It can be said that Yuan Xiangshi and Dong Gong have good intentions.

It’s just that Li Menglu is not used to it——

One of the reasons is that as a sociopath, she prefers to digest alone even if she is in a bad mood. Picking blackheads in front of the mirror, eating snacks and watching TV dramas are all her methods of coping.

The second reason is that she is a professional actor. Shouldn't an actress be used to being scolded by directors? No need for comfort.

The first day of filming ended in failure. Li Menglu took the script and was about to leave, but she met Huang Baiyou who had just returned to the filming base.

"Oh Monroe, I heard Brother Dong talk about today's shooting," Huang Bai said.

Dong Gong? What a big mouth! Li Menglu was a little dissatisfied.

"Want to go for a walk together?" Huang Baiyou asked.

No, are you coming? Li Menglu smiled bitterly in her heart. I must refuse. She mustered up her courage and said, "Okay."

Big failure!

How could he refuse to export? Brother Thirteen was so powerful, so Li Menglu followed Huang Baiyou around the filming base.

Huang Baiyou is very satisfied with the construction of the Daydream shooting base. The entire base covers an area of ​​11,000 square meters. The main attractions built are the Republic of China Government Building, Baihua Song and Dance Hall, Magic City Station, Dongshuimen, Qing Army and Navy Barracks, etc. building.

It can be said that shooting in the Magic City and Peking during the Republic of China can be done in one stop.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Huang Baiyou didn't speak, which made Li Menglu very uneasy. She asked, "Brother Thirteen, is something wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Huang Bai said, "I have worked with you in "The Gun Run" and "The Invisible Guardian", so I know you are a very professional actor."

"So today's shooting was not up to standard." Huang Bai said, "Is there any personal influence?"

"Farewell My Concubine" was produced by the owner of Daydream Films. Huang Baiyou was equivalent to the big boss. She thought he was comforting her again, but she never thought it was the big boss questioning her.

"Uh-" Li Menglu became nervous and responded nervously, "It's nothing personal. I enter the role slowly, so there will definitely be bigger problems in the early stage. I will hurry up and enter the role."

"Okay, we have to hurry up." Huang Bai said, "If there is any problem, we can bring it out and study it together."

I didn’t ask if I had, but asked directly what the difficulty was. It was difficult to refuse, but Li Menglu didn’t know what to say.

This is not a problem with Li Menglu's expression, because the experience school is to turn yourself into a character. The core of many characters is the deepest emotion in the actor's heart.

Can you express your emotions smoothly to others? Even if it's your job.

Why actors are prone to depression is not simply because they cannot step out of their roles, but because their inner feelings are acted out and seen by many people.

There is a sense of crisis of being "internally exposed."

Of course, what I said above all refers to good actors. Actors like Cheng Guang will not be in such danger at all.

"Hmm... I play Juxian, a famous prostitute in Huamanlou. Many people like her. Will she fall in love with Duan Xiaolou just because a hero saves a beauty?" Li Menglu walked for a few more minutes before asking the difficult question.

"Because Duan Xiaolou is a famous actor in Kyoto, this hero saving the beauty is different. The hero is the overlord." Huang Baiyou answered.

"That makes sense. Juxian is definitely not a kind person." Li Menglu nodded and asked, "So at first I just wanted to find a good backer, and a famous actor is a good backer. Later, I fell in love with Duan Xiaolou for a long time."

"From admiration to liking, to becoming a couple, and finally committing suicide in despair." Li Menglu asked, "Is Juxian's final despair because of Cheng Dieyi or Duan Xiaolou?"

This issue is deeper. When it comes to the core of character creation, Huang Baiyou also fell silent.

In the WG period of the plot, Juxian's identity was explosive. In order to protect himself, Duan Xiaolou belittled Juxian in front of everyone and said that he had never liked Juxian.

After this battle, Juxian clearly saw her husband who had been with her day and night. After bidding farewell to Cheng Dieyi, she hanged herself from a beam in the house.

According to the plot, it must be Duan Xiaolou's fault. What does it have to do with Cheng Dieyi, who was also criticized? Many people will say so, and it is indeed true on the surface.

In fact, this involves something deeper, the relationship between Juxian, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou.
