night.

In a hotel.

Luo Xun is reading the script.

When we were filming action scenes a few days ago, because of the heavy daily activities, Luo Xun would be so tired that he fell asleep when he returned to the hotel after finishing work every day. But recently he started filming literary dramas, and he was not so tired every night. When we got back to the hotel, we still had time to read the script and sort out what we were going to shoot tomorrow.

The lighting is very soft.

Makes people feel peaceful.

There was some rare nervousness in Luo Xun's heart. Among the entire cast of "Lotus Lantern", there was only one actor who could make Luo Xun nervous during the scene, and that was Liu Xiaoqing, the double-acting actress who played the role of the Queen Mother——

Tomorrow's scene will not be easy.

Although on the surface it is just a dialogue-type drama, there are a lot of psychological activities that need to be expressed. The suspicious Queen Mother will test Yang Jian. In a sense, this is a drama between two people, and double materials. As a movie queen, it's no wonder that Luo Xun already feels the pressure has increased sharply before filming even started!

However, pressure is also motivation.

Because he was filming a scene opposite Liu Xiaoqing tomorrow, Luo Xun was even more serious than before. Not only did he memorize his lines by heart, but he even knew the Queen Mother's lines by heart.

Of course it's just rough lines.

Some directors like to let the actors read the lines in the script according to the script when filming, but some directors will also let the actors freely play according to the rough plot and only tell them the approximate effect of the performance. After all, even if they adjust Lines and the like are only one or two sentences at most. Subtle changes by the opponent are not a problem for experienced actors.

Yu Mingsheng is somewhere in between.

For ordinary actors, he will speak in detail, but for experienced actors such as Luo Xun and Cao Jun, he will speak more generally, which can be regarded as reassuring on another level.

Ten o'clock.

Luo Xun turned off the light and went to sleep.

When he arrived at the set the next day, Luo Xun was preparing to put on makeup, and his assistant Xiao Tao prepared breakfast for him. Starting from "Kung Fu", Kong Shuang no longer worked with Luo Xun. When filming, it was Xiao Tao who Taking care of Luo Xun's daily life, Xiao Tao is very familiar with Luo Xun's taste.

Three buns.

Two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, plus a cup of soy milk and an egg. This is what Luo Xun eats for breakfast in most cases. Occasionally, if you need to change the taste, just tell Xiao Tao in advance.

After breakfast.

He started putting on makeup.

Xiao Tao usually waits on the set. After Luo Xun finishes filming, he prepares towels, drinks, or mineral water in advance. It is inevitable that there will be some rough and tumble moments when he first gets into this job, but Luo Xun is very gentle to the people around him. Even if he made a mistake, Luo Xun would never blame him. This heartwarming gentleness made Xiao Tao work harder and harder, and now he could take care of Luo Xun's daily life in an orderly manner.

Finished makeup.

Luo Xun walked out of the dressing room and said hello to everyone around him. He found that the set was not completely set up and the director was getting angry. Under the director's anger, various departments also accelerated their work efficiency——

It's common for directors to get angry.

No matter how good-tempered a director is, there will inevitably be times when he loses control on the set. After all, the director is the most stressed in the entire crew. After Luo Xun has filmed several movies, he has never seen a director who doesn't get angry on the set.

"Luo Xun, Sister Qing."

Yu Mingsheng's anger was directed at various departments, but towards Luo Xun and Liu Xiaoqing, his expressions naturally softened a lot: "Let's talk about a few scenes today. For this scene, you two have a lot of scenes with each other today."

This is normal.

For the sake of efficiency and saving money, there is no particular order in the filming of film and television dramas. It is never about where to shoot what scenes, but to see which scene is suitable for shooting in that place. Scenes in the same place must be filmed together. ——

A few days ago.

In order to let the actors have a basic familiarity and understanding with each other, Yu Mingsheng deliberately arranged simple dialogues between different actors. This is the director's personal habit of unconventional shooting. Some directors also like to shoot a few days before the start of filming. On the same day, some simple scenes were arranged to encourage the confidence of the actors, and then slowly changed from easy to difficult. Now that everyone is basically familiar with it, the shooting has entered the regular mode.

Luo Xun nodded.

Liu Xiaoqing had no objection either.

The scene being decorated now is the Palace of the Queen Mother in Heaven. Because Erlang Shen works for the Queen Mother in the play, there are many scenes where Luo Xun and Liu Xiaoqing have to shoot in this Palace of the Queen Mother. You know, for this movie "Lotus Lantern" ”, the crew had already started to build the heavenly scene during the preparation period. In order to achieve the effect, the investors spent a lot of money.

Ten minutes later.

Departments are ready.

Luo Xun was full of fighting spirit and prepared to devote himself to today's scene opposite Liu Xiaoqing. He also took this opportunity to test how far his acting skills were compared to his opponent's.

"The TV series "Lotus Lantern"!"

"Scene 1 of the 122nd Shot!"

The clapperboard started, and Yu Mingsheng shouted the start with a serious face. Luo Xun was wearing a silver armor, with a black cloak with purple and gold lines on the back, while Liu Xiaoqing was dressed in a dress, dignified with grace and luxury——

And at this time.

There are many actors around to watch. Usually when the crew is filming, actors who have nothing to do will also watch other people's performances, but the scale is always scattered. Only today's scene between Luo Xun and Liu Xiaoqing, the scene was full of actors. , everyone’s face seems to be flashing with excitement and curiosity!

Nothing else.

It’s just because Luo Xun’s acting skills are so good in this crew. People of the same age will basically feel pressured when acting with him. In order to prevent himself from suppressing others’ performances, Luo Xun will deliberately restrain himself to achieve overall unity. In this way, everyone can’t help but wonder where Luo Xun’s limit is!

And this crew.

The only actor who can 100% test Luo Xun’s limit is Liu Xiaoqing. As a double-awarded actress who influenced a generation at her peak, no one has ever doubted Liu Xiaoqing’s acting skills!

“Let’s start.”

Someone whispered.

The set was quiet, and only Liu Xiaoqing’s voice sounded faintly: “Everyone has desires, but because of the complex factors such as the environment, responsibilities, and principles of being a human being, this desire is restricted. In fact, there is a lot of mystery between the choice and abandonment of desires...”

Liu Xiaoqing paused.

When Liu Xiaoqing paused for a moment, Luo Xun frowned, and then calmed down. However, it was the slight change in his expression that faintly revealed Luo Xun's uneasiness. The handling of this small detail made many people secretly praise him.

This is cooperation!

Liu Xiaoqing did not focus on his own one-man show, leaving room for Luo Xun to play, and Luo Xun also keenly grasped this gap and gave an uneasy expression appropriately. This kind of small detail is difficult for ordinary actors to grasp if it is not discussed at the beginning.

But Yu Mingsheng is very sure.

Before filming, Luo Xun and Liu Xiaoqing did not discuss it. When they rehearsed, they only checked the lines once, so this kind of cooperation was purely out of the actors' instinct!
