"Brother Huang, this is your meal, then I will go out to eat." Wu Xiaoxiao put down Huang Baiyou's lunch box.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Huang Baiyou waved his hand, and then opened the thermos bucket. Inside was a bowl of vegetable soup, vegetable salad, and shrimp mixed with broccoli.

"It would be great if I could eat whatever I wanted without getting fat..." Huang Bai said, stuffing broccoli into his mouth.

“Wait a minute for this aroma—could it be dry-pot chicken offal? Chicken intestines and gizzards really go well with rice.”

If Huang Baiyou's nose is as good as a dog's, he can actually smell what others are eating based on its scent.

In Wu Xiaoxiao's lunch box, there were dry-cooked chicken offal, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and braised pork with pickles, all of which were Huang's favorite dishes.

Just to avoid making someone jealous, Wu Xiaoxiao went out to eat.

"The crew of "Farewell My Concubine" is very busy, and they actually have to shoot until eight o'clock." Wu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Yu Mo, Yu Mo, you must strive for success. Brother Huang has worked hard for this drama."

"Huh? What are those people doing?" Wu Xiaoxiao's sharp eyes found clues.

In the distance - where the extras are located, a small Western-style building from the Republic of China period that was used as a filming base was temporarily used as a rest room.

What is ad hoc style? With gray brick walls, red painted carved doors, European stone carvings, and stained glass windows, it is a small Western-style building that is often seen in movies and TV dramas.

"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to ask Brother Thirteen for advice on what to do? Why don't you go?"

"I figured it out myself, don't talk about me, why don't you go?"

"Brother Thirteen is so busy, I won't bother you."

…

While chatting while eating, the extras all heard that the famous star Huang Baiyou was very kind and could ask questions about performance.

Are there any performance issues with the extras? Of course not, I just wanted to increase my presence in front of Huang Baiyou.

"Hmph, I don't have the guts to achieve anything big." Xiao Wu's sidekick in the crowd frowned in disdain.

But the disdainful expression only lasted for a few seconds. Well, he didn't dare to brush up on his presence.

Not talking about mysterious things like aura, I can only say that Huang Baiyou is so successful in acting that even the extras are under pressure, which makes people think, "Is this question too simple? Is it appropriate to ask Teacher Huang?" thoughts.

After dinner, we filmed for another hour and a half. The progress was gratifying. It was getting late. If the prop truck hadn't stalled, Yu Mo would have wanted Team B to finish filming Japanese invaders entering the city before calling it a day.

The prop trucks were Toyota KB automatic trucks. There were seven or eight of them in total. There was something wrong, and the producer has stepped in to solve it.

To sum up, the second day of shooting was much smoother than the first day. Li Menglu and others solved their confusion and quickly got into the mood for the two scenes shot in the afternoon.

"You go, I'll help clean up here." Xiao Wu said.

The extras were very happy. Some people helped return the costumes, and they all said some kind words, such as "Brother Wu is mighty" and "Brother, please tell me if you have anything to do in the future."

All of a sudden, the bustling little western-style building was deserted. In addition, it was getting late and the dim lights were quite scary.

Fortunately, there were still people on this artificial Republic of China street, and the housekeepers stayed behind to pack things.

"Take your time." Xiao Wu said slowly, but his movements were not slow at all and were clean and neat.

Even after things were sorted out, he didn't leave. He left a small tail on the matter and started practicing his enunciation.

Actors don’t have to be precise in their lines, but they also have to be heard clearly. But nowadays, many young artists don’t know what the play is saying without reading the subtitles...

After practicing for a long time, until nine o'clock, the place was cleared, and the managers of the film and television base came in to chase people away.

Xiaowu just finished the tail business, packed up and left.

"Work hard and you will be seen sooner or later." Xiao Wu thought to himself.

"Being seen sooner or later" in his mind means being seen by Huang Baiyou and showing his hardworking side, otherwise he would not be able to stay and do so many things every time.

Xiaowu has heard many "part-timer myths", that is, someone who plays a small role. Because of his hard work, he joined Teacher Huang Baiyou's association and has skyrocketed since then.

For this reason, in the next few days, Xiao Wu was basically the last to leave the filming base.

Everyone in the entertainment industry has their own small thoughts, Xiao Wu is like this, Yuan Xiangshi is like this, and Yu Mo is like this.

He made a decision. When the movie is released, Huang Baiyou must be given an [acting consultant]. After all, he is acting in the crew, so it makes sense to be a consultant, right?

On the evening of the 16th, with the encouragement of his mother, Wen Yubing asked Huang Baiyou for advice.

Tomorrow morning's scene will be the most difficult scene for Wen Yubing to shoot for his role as Xiaodouzi, or so he thinks.

The theater owner came to select people from the troupe. When he saw that Xiaodouzi was a good student, he said, "Men are afraid of "Night Run" and women are afraid of "Sifan". Let's play "Sifan"."

To explain briefly, why men are afraid of "Night Run" and women are afraid of "Sifan". To be more precise, "Wu Sheng is afraid of "Lin Chong Night Run", but Danjiao is afraid of "Nie Hai Ji".

The former requires dancing and singing at the same time. Almost every word in the whole play has a figure, so it is difficult. The latter part of "Sifan" in Nie Hai Ji covers the fields of boudoir (girls who have not left the palace) and tiedan (mostly maid characters). It is difficult for one person to finish the whole drama.

So Little Douzi sings Sifan, while Little Stone sings Night Run.

"The theater owner should be equivalent to the boss of the theater troupe. If he can enjoy the food, the theater troupe will not have to live on the streets." Wen Yubing said, "At this important moment, Xiaodouzi still insists on singing the wrong words [I myself I don’t understand, Brother Thirteen, please tell me.”

"Then in your mind, why is Xiaodouzi unwilling?" Huang Baiyou wanted to know the other party's understanding of this role.

"Because he was bullied for his good looks since he was a child. If Xiao Shitou hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have known how he would have been bullied, so he resented the fact that he was a female Jiao'e and was unwilling to sing like this." Wen Yubing expressed his understanding. .

I have to say, this understanding is absolutely correct.

What does director Yu Mo want to express? From the chop off of the sixth finger to the scene where the senior brother pokes Xiaodouzi's mouth with a pipe, the hints are very obvious.

This is Huang Baiyou's "seeing the world", taking into account what the director wants, and then expressing the deeper meaning of the plot.

"Who is your favorite relative?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"...Grandma, my grandma likes it very much." Not understanding why he asked this question, Wen Yubing still answered honestly.

"What if I asked you to give up this identity?" Huang Baiyou looked at Wen Yubing.

"What?"

"Singing "Sifan" correctly is equivalent to giving up an identity in your heart. It's like asking you to give up your identity as [grandma's grandson]. How would you react?" Huang Baiyou explained.

"Why?" Wen Yubing said, "Can't you just pretend to sing and keep it in your heart? One word won't kill you."

"So Xiaodouzi can't help himself." Huang Baiyou said, "You can think that Xiaodouzi is stubborn and accepts death."

"In that case..." Wen Yubing said, "Then you changed your mind later because you wanted to repay senior brother Xiao Shitou? Because Xiao Shitou wanted to help him, and Xiao Douzi understood, so he did it."

"It's absolutely fine for you to understand the characters this way." Huang Baiyou nodded.

"Thank you, Teacher Huang!" Wen Yubing bowed and thanked him. He understood.
