Entertainment: I can refine my acting skills every day

Chapter 120 117. Join the "New Three Kingdoms"! The final general will get the order!!

Su Chen reached out and took the spear. He felt heavy in his hand.

Good guy.

He weighed it casually and estimated that the gun weighed seven or eight kilograms.

Although it was a prop, the body of the gun was also made of metal. There was a coiled dragon glyph on the handle of the gun. The head of the gun shone with a cold light. Su Chen felt cold in his hands when holding the long gun.

Director Gao smiled and said, "How about this gun?"

Su Chen took two steps back, shook his hands, and shook out a flower of the gun, and a buzzing sound came from the entire gun body.

"It's a little off."

He said jokingly: "It is rumored that Zhao Yun's gun weighs thirty kilograms, but it only weighs seven or eight kilograms."

Director Gao patted his thigh and laughed loudly. The actor's assistant next to him was named Liu De. There were also props artists, makeup artists and others in the room.

"It's almost enough, it's almost enough. It doesn't have to be thirty kilograms, otherwise you can't move it but the horse won't be able to move it."

Director Gao seemed to remember something.

"By the way, how do you feel about riding a horse? I just knew last time that you have a solid foundation in martial arts, but what about riding a horse?"

Su Chen gently put the gun on the ground: "There is still a foundation for high and low, at least it won't hold back the crew."

"Okay, okay, that's fine. I've been on tenterhooks all this time. People fall off their horses every day."

"Who is inside? Who is inside..."

"He Rundong also fell off his horse today. Fortunately, it was not a group show and there was no one around to make it okay. Otherwise, he would have been trampled and the consequences would have been serious."

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Although he and He Rundong had never met each other, when he heard about this kind of thing, he still prayed that nothing would happen.

Even getting injured is not a good thing.

"Lu Bu is supposed to be invincible in the world. He can't do anything to him even if he just throws his horse down."

After knowing that Mr. He Rundong was fine, Su Chen also joked.

"Speaking of which, Dian Wei is better. We don't have to shoot a lot of circus scenes, and the most important scenes are on the ground, so I feel more at ease."

Su Chen touched his chin.

He thought of Xiao Yang in his mind. If Xiao Yang was here, he would probably say: "Lü Bu is unparalleled on horseback, and Dian Wei is invincible on the ground. If Lu Bu rides Dian Wei, wouldn't the scene be..."

However, Director Gao was present, and Su Chen had to endure it again and again before telling the joke.

It's okay for buddies to talk and laugh, but the director is a director after all.

"Director, shall I change into this armor now?"

"Okay, just change it here. Let the prop master help you. This armor needs to be turned over and tied from the back."

As soon as Director Gao extended his hand, the prop artist and makeup assistant came up from behind.

"That's okay too."

Su Chen had just arrived on the set. He originally thought it would officially start tomorrow. He didn't expect Director Gao to be so anxious, but it was understandable. After all, the responsibility was great and the task was tight.

Scenes like this are often big scenes, and there are too many accidents that can happen during filming.

The crew's progress is seriously behind schedule, and longer time means additional costs.

Therefore, Gao Xixi is racing against time almost every day. It seems that this anxious character has become a habit.

Su Chen took off his shirt.

The makeup assistant girl who was about to come up to help me suddenly blushed and took a step back in shock.

She is still young, and she has never seen a sculpture-like figure like Su Chen.

The outline of the chest muscles, the lines of the abdominal muscles, and the bulging deltoid muscles on both shoulders. In addition, Su Chen currently maintains very low sebum, and the inverted triangle figure is almost flawless.

The important thing is that the muscles have clear outlines but are not too big, which is in line with Chinese aesthetics.

Director Gao's eyes lit up.

He only knew that Su Chen was good in martial arts before, but as soon as the boy took off his clothes, Director Gao knew that this guy was probably a very strict and self-disciplined person.

"It's okay. You are young and have never seen a good figure."

When the prop master next to him spoke, Su Chen discovered that she was also a woman, but she had been hanging out with the crew all year round, so her skin was tanned and looked rougher.

"I'm thirty-five today, and I've never seen such a good figure. Why are you standing there, let's get started."

The prop master made a joke, and the audience burst into laughter, making Su Chen feel a little uncomfortable.

The men and women in the TV drama crew are like wolves and tigers.

Because I shoot for six months and a year, sometimes I make dirty jokes without actually saying them.

In the end, the makeup assistant blushed and put a black wig on Su Chen.

I just put it on briefly to see the effect.

In addition, the white clothes lining the bottom and the bright silver armor on the outside are also on the body.

I also took off my shoes and put on my boots.

There is also a white cloak, which is also buckled on the upper back of the silver armor. Finally, he puts on the helmet, with the silver-white helmet tassels thrown behind his head.

Su Chen, dressed in armor, stood there.

Director Gao's eyes were full of approval. At this moment, Su Chen, who was dressed in ancient costume, looked heroic and full of energy.

"Here, hold the gun and look at me."

Director Gao stood up and took two steps back, folding his arms and looking at it. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

"Look at it, let me tell you, when he dresses up, he looks like the reincarnation of Zhao Yun."

Su Chen smiled and said: "Director Gao, you are joking, I just want you to see if it can work."

"It can work, it can definitely work, but if it doesn't work, should I go to you specifically?"

Gao Xixi smoothed her hair and asked the makeup artist next to her to take a camera to take a photo of Su Chen's makeup at that moment.

The reason why I took this photo was not to promote the characters.

But the crew will be huge, and sometimes the makeup artist will be too busy. If other makeup artists need to apply makeup to the character, then you only need to follow the look photo approved by the director, and there will be no problem.

"Director, can you ask your assistant for the contact information of our martial arts instructor?"

Su Chen remembered something.

That is, horse riding is not a big problem for him at the moment. He just needs more practice and will definitely get better and better.

But the marksmanship.

Zhao Zilong used a gun, but Su Chen had a complete blind spot regarding the rules of the gun.

Although there is Baji Qiang, Baji Quan and Baji Qiang are separate and independent. Su Chen has never tried them.

It's like he can do Tai Chi, but he doesn't know how to do Tai Chi sword.

If we insist on saying that Su Chen knew some marksmanship, it would have been when he was a kid, he used a bamboo stick inside a big broom and practiced a little while destroying flowers and plants in his grandfather's yard.

With this little skill, almost all Chinese people, regardless of gender, have practiced both hands.

As long as you give your child a stick when he is most naughty, he will be able to throw out a set of "stick techniques" or "head-circling knife techniques". This is the martial arts gene in the bones of Oriental people.

…

After taking the makeup photos, Director Gao saw that it was getting late, so he asked his assistant to put the printed script of Su Chen's play on the hotel table.

Then we made an appointment to meet at the filming location tomorrow.

Everyone in the room has left, and even the set of bright silver armor has been taken away by the prop master.

It is impossible to leave this kind of thing to the actors for safekeeping. If it is lost, the director will never scold the actors, only the prop master.

Suchen opened the hotel window.

It's pitch dark outside, and it's already autumn. It's estimated that the filming of this movie will be completed around October.

There is already a slight chill in the wind.

A blink of an eye.

Another year has almost passed.

There wasn't much time for Su Chen to express his emotions, so he picked up the script casually.

In a sense, the shooting method of New Three Kingdoms is basically consistent with the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the lines and other lines may be more popular.

Just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is basically consistent with the content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it is also more popular.

Su Chen probably looked through his script.

The lines are not as convoluted as in Lao Sanguo, and it is easier for the actors to memorize it, and it will also be easier for the audience to watch.

Of course, there will definitely be some conservative people who will jump out and say that this drama ruins the classics, is unprofessional, and has too weak lines, etc.

However, this is exactly what people did on purpose.

Although it is now past eleven o'clock in the evening, Su Chen is not very sleepy.

He read the script until three o'clock in the evening.

Playing a character like Zhao Yun is different from playing a character like Hu Wan.

Hu Wan is Jiang Wen's original character. His past and future are blank, so actors are needed to enrich the character.

As for Zhao Yun's past and future, audiences and movie fans across the country are familiar with it.

So it’s even more difficult to play Zhao Yun!

Su Chen didn't want to be hotly searched by audiences across the country just because he played Zhao Yun. After all, scarves have become very popular now.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Su Chen put down the script and opened his bib account.

Xiao Yang was quite busy during this period, and Su Chen's scarf account was posted by himself from time to time.

Since the premiere of "October Siege" half a month ago, Su Chen's scarf has been gaining popularity.

Wait another half month.

As the popularity of the October siege gradually decreases, his popularity will probably slow down slightly.

So far, the number of Su Chen's scarf fans has reached 20,000.

Activity and everything else are pretty good.

Just two days ago, Su Chen casually posted a photo of eating soy milk, fried dough sticks and eggs while running in the morning. So far, there have been more than 300 comments below.

"Mr. Liu, what does it mean to put two eggs next to these fried dough sticks?"

"Ah, aunt is evil. I didn't expect you to be like Liao Sanmin..."

There are also people who can't understand the jokes in the comment area, but they have serious faces: "What's wrong with the fried dough sticks and eggs? What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Su Chen glanced at the private messages several times.

Basically, everyone praises him, and of course some criticize him.

He specifically clicked on a few private messages scolding himself: "Liu Yubai is too young to be like that."

"I've seen it. Oh, it's just like that. It's not that amazing. It's not as good as brother Xiaoming. I don't know why you are so popular. I can't figure it out."

"Please, please don't market it yourself and cut off your trousers. Oops, I vomited."

I probably read two or three.

The ratio of positive and negative comments in his private messages on Weibo is about nine to one.

In other words, out of ten people who like him, one hates him.

This is a matter of mentality as a public figure. In the previous life, when Su Chen was acting in a play, this was also the case. Although he was far less popular then than he is now, there were still negative reviews when he left the show.

Like the three negative review private messages he read just now, they were just people looking for a sense of presence when they were idle.

This is also a problem that actors face.

An actor like Andy Lau, who has been famous for a lifetime, still gets scolded, but as long as he has a clear conscience, that's fine.

Su Chen turned around and read two or three more praises for himself.

After reading it, I went to the comment section to read two comments that praised me, and then I backhandedly liked them.

I know it's a bit shameless, but I feel comfortable.

Based on Su Chen's experience from later generations, it's best for black fans to spend some money, buy fans, get some inside information, make up some stories, and ask trolls to forward it.

The more I curse, the angrier I get, and I like how anxious you are when you can’t kill me.

Not to mention, when Su Chen thought about it, it seemed that someone was already taking this path, and wasn't junior school girl Jingtian playing?

…

On the second and third days after joining the crew, there were no scenes with Su Chen.

Director Gao also told Su Chen directly because he was worried that when he came to the city just now, he would not be able to bring in the feeling of ancient costume immediately.

So I watched it for two days after joining the group.

Feel the on-site shooting environment before you start shooting, so that you will be in the best state and feel.

So Su Chen was not idle either.

He specifically asked Director Gao to get a horse to practice with. At the same time, he just watched the video and learned the marksmanship by himself.

Su Chen now has a foundation in martial arts, and he can get a rough idea of ​​it after thinking about it.

The martial arts director of the "New Three Kingdoms" crew is extremely busy every day.

He has no time to care about Su Chen. If he doesn't learn, he will have to bear the infamy when it is filmed and make a fool of himself.

For two days, he read the script at night and practiced riding a horse and shooting during the day.

Because we are all in the same crew, it is inevitable that we will get to know several other leading actors whom we have never met before.

As long as he was filming war scenes, Lu Yi would basically have nothing to do.

But he couldn't take off his makeup. If there was a long shot or something, he would have to stand behind and wave a fan and pose.

When he couldn't be photographed, he would eat melon seeds behind the camera and chat with Su Chen from time to time.

Lu Yi, Yu Hewei all went to the drama gang.

Liao Fan was also in the last scene, and Xu Zheng, who had a good relationship with Su Chen, was also in the scene.

Because Xu Zheng had a good relationship with Yu Hewei, not long after they met, Su Chen also had a good relationship with Yu Hewei.

When there was no drama, several people would brag together, and Su Chen quickly became close to the leading actors in the crew.

There is another reason why it went so smoothly.

That's these actors. Although they may not have seen Su Chen's previous dramas, anyone who inquires in this circle will know that Su Chen is still a good newcomer.

People in the film and television industry are not stupid. Su Chen's ability to squeeze into this circle shows that he is capable.

Why should we offend if we can get along well with each other?

…

Another five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past five days, Su Chen has started to play with Yu and Wei. Yu and Wei play Liu Bei, and Su Chen plays Zhao Yun. One of them, the beloved general, is behind, and the other is the lord in front.

Although acting in this type of drama is very hard, the armor weighing more than 20 kilograms is worn almost all the time, and it lasts a whole day.

But the same goes for everyone else, so there is nothing to complain about.

It is only natural for actors to endure hardship while filming.

If you can't hold the rice bowl with your front legs, your back legs will say the food is unpalatable.

In addition, the crew of "New Three Kingdoms" has a good atmosphere, and everyone is striving to make a good Chinese masterpiece.

Although people in the entire crew are injured every day, the progress is not slow at all, and the highlight of Su Chen will be filmed in the blink of an eye.

This scene will be filmed tomorrow.

Director Gao had been busy filming during the day, but he still came to chat with Su Chen in the evening to make sure that his condition was okay.

Next, the content of today's play is that Zhao Yun rushes into the formation to help the host in danger, entering and exiting Changban Slope seven times.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, that is, 208 AD, Cao Cao's army marched south to Jingzhou and successfully accepted the letter of surrender from Liu Biao's authentic successor, Liu Cong.

And this Liu Cong was not kind. He only sent someone to notify Liu Bei in Fancheng after he surrendered to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei's strength at that time was simply unable to compete with Cao Cao, so he could only abandon the city in embarrassment and leave.

But the wife and son are still in the city.

At the critical moment, Su Chen was asked to play Zhao Yun's solo savior, and escape from death alone with Adou.

…

Of course Su Chen still has some confidence in himself.

"Director, don't worry, I should be able to get it."

Director Gao nodded.

"It's not that I don't worry about you, I just don't worry about your physical strength."

"The armor he wears weighs seventeen or eight kilograms, the gun in his hand weighs seven or eight kilograms, plus the green sword weighing four or five kilograms, and he also has a fake child weighing two or three kilograms in his arms."

"This scene took a whole day to shoot."

"Of course your acting skills and image are fine, but I'm a little worried about your physical fitness."

Su Chen didn't say anything. In terms of physical strength, Director Gao didn't need to worry about him.

This person from Zhao Qing can definitely testify.

It's a pity that I can't let Director Gao try it now.

"Don't look at the obvious muscle lines on your body."

Director Gao patted Su Chen on the shoulder: "I've seen a lot of muscles like yours, fake muscles that you can train in the gym."

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hey, Director Gao, do you still understand this?"

Gao Xixi smiled and said: "I understand a little, I understand a little."

After last year's "Red Cliff" was aired, it was also about the Three Kingdoms, and there were a lot of jokes in it. When filming the New Three Kingdoms, people would occasionally use lines from it to make fun of it.

"I'll try my best."

Su Chen could only make this promise to Director Gao.

"Okay, I'm mainly worried about your safety. If you lose strength and perform actions on horseback, it will still be very dangerous."

Director Gao stood up worriedly, looked at Su Chen, and suddenly shouted.

"Zhao Zilong!"

Su Chen clenched his fists: "Here."

"Come on tomorrow and give me a good show."

Su Chen smiled and said: "The general will get the order!"

…

The next scene is estimated to take at least three to four days to shoot.

Zhao Zilong enters the city to rescue Adou, then delivers a courier to Xia Houen, gives Zhao Yunqing the sword, and then enters and exits Changban Slope seven times, all of which are intensive Zhao Yun scenes.

Director Gao has very high demands in his heart.

The film must have an epic feel and capture the Zhao Zilong in the minds of the audience.

Come out of Su Chen's room.

When Gao Xixi returned to his residence, he was also very worried. After all, he had replaced the previous actors and what if Su Chen's performance would be bad?

Then when the time comes, people won't laugh at Su Chen, but they will laugh at the director for having a problem with his selection.

However, you don’t have to be suspicious of people and don’t be suspicious of employees. Since you chose it yourself, let’s wait until Su Chen gets on the horse tomorrow to see if he can handle this war drama.
