Entertainment since 1999

Chapter 14 What is Acting?

The rest area for the cast and crew consists of several tents connected together.

Director Wang opened the curtain of the makeup area, where many leading actors were applying makeup.

When Han Qiao followed him into the makeup area, he had the illusion that he was attending a TV drama award ceremony. It was really star-studded.

Gong Huang, Zhang Fengyi, Wang Zhiwen, Sun Zhou………….

They are all famous actors in later generations.

But now Comrade Xiao Han is just a little transparent, no one pays attention to this young man, but a few makeup artist assistants keep turning around.

"Teacher Li, this little actor will follow you next." Director Wang walked up to Li Xuejian, looking a little respectful.

Han Qiao also looked at the famous "old opera stars" of later generations and felt that they were quite simple and unpretentious, without the airs of great actors.

Let me briefly introduce Li Xuejian. He is the only outstanding performing artist to win the "Outstanding Contribution Award for Reform and Opening Up" on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up. He is highly respected in the entertainment industry.

Li Xuejian was reading the script. Hearing this, he put down the script and looked at Han Qiao: "Young man is quite energetic. Okay, you'll follow me in a minute."

Han Qiao lowered his attitude: "Hello, Teacher Li, I am Han Qiao."

"Hello, I'm Li Xuejian." Li Xuejian turned around and responded with a smile.

………………

Qin palace wall.

Filming is in progress.

The Qin army broke through Zhao's city wall and entered the city.

On the city wall, there were countless dead and injured people.

Emperor Qin walked messily among the corpses. His world, his ambition, and his hatred were washed clean with blood at this moment, but too many people had died.

Too many people have died in 550 years.

Emperor Qin picked up the rattle lost by a child on the city wall, and could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart. These people are also the people of Qin.

Li Xuejian didn't use too many movements to perform, just messy steps, slightly distracted eyes, and steps that were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. The image of an emperor who couldn't bear to watch the blood was lifelike.

This scene on the city wall lasted only a few minutes, with Han Qiao holding his sword and following behind Emperor Qin.

His identity is Emperor Qin's bodyguard.

"Click!"

Chen Kaige fell, and the scene ended.

Han Qiao rubbed his face. He felt quite uncomfortable with a straight face. He was very excited. Although it only lasted a few minutes, it had a huge impact on him. This kind of free and dramatic performance gave him a new understanding of acting.

More intuitive understanding.

The group of people went back to the city wall to prepare for the next scene.

The sixth scene of Nine Mirrors begins.

There was a "pop" sound on the court, and Emperor Qin walked under the city wall. In a house, the children of Zhao State were crowded together, looking at Emperor Qin numbly.

Emperor Qin glanced at the children present and said in a low voice, "Wang Jian."

A middle-aged strong man stood behind Emperor Qin: "I'm here!"

"These are the children of Zhao Guo?"

"yes."

Emperor Qin here had seen too much blood, and felt compassion in his heart. Li Xuejian acted here, his expression did not change, but his eyes were a little dazed. He did not see these children, but the dead people.

"Let them go." Emperor Qin felt relieved.

"As commanded."

Emperor Qin knelt down, with a smile on his majestic face. He shook the rattle in his hand and handed it to the child in front of him.

"Toi" the kid didn't answer, but spat in Emperor Qin's face.

Emperor Qin's expression gradually became gloomy, and he stood up slowly. There was murderous intent in his eyes, and he looked at everyone coldly.

"Click!"

Chen Kaige called a halt, and the scene was already over in the script at this point.

"Brother Li, come here and take a look?" Chen Kaige held his hands in front of the monitor and watched it several times, but he still felt that it was almost boring.

Han Qiao followed Li Xuejian to the director's office to watch the playback.

There is nothing wrong with Li Xuejian's performance, he is not angry but he is powerful. He was moved by compassion before, but Zhao Guo's child is full of hatred, and now his heart is full of murderous intent.

Han Qiao read it again. It was a self-deprecating scene!

He had watched the full version of Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin. In this scene, the Emperor of Qin was ruthless and murderous at first, but in the end he laughed at himself.

This dramatic change made Emperor Qin more three-dimensional.

He was tolerant of the six countries, but he did not try to exterminate them all from the beginning.

Chen Kaige and Li Xuejian frowned, thinking about how to deal with this.

Han Qiao didn't interrupt rashly. He was just an extra. Even without him, the scene would have been the final version of the previous life, but this was an opportunity.

After a few minutes, Chen Kaige and Li Xuejian frowned.

The atmosphere was depressing and many staff members were restless but did not dare to speak out.

Han Qiao had an idea and laughed: "Hahaha."

This laugh was like a stone thrown into a pond, and everyone in the crew looked at him sideways.

Confused, confused, and a fool.

Chen Kaige frowned and glanced at Han Qiao, he had an impression of this boy.

"Director Chen, Teacher Li, I'm sorry, it was the first time I saw myself on the screen and I couldn't hold it back." Han Qiao apologized quickly.

The two important figures did not pursue this small detail.

Chen Kaige suddenly patted the table: "Okay, Teacher Li, stand behind this camera for a while and make a smile."

Li Xuejian thought for a moment and glanced at Han Qiao: "No problem, this guy is quite clever."

But that's it, Han Qiao didn't gain the opportunity because of his sudden idea.

The seventh scene of Nine Mirrors begins!

The scene was settled and filming continued.

"tui." The child from Zhao did not accept the rattle handed over by Emperor Qin, but instead spat in Emperor Qin's face.

The smile on Emperor Qin's majestic face gradually disappeared, he stood up slowly, and looked at the children of Zhao Kingdom in front of him with a gloomy face.

Han Qiao was also careful here. He held the sword and his eyelids drooped slightly, not daring to look at Emperor Qin's sharpness. This was also the first time on screen that he looked away from Emperor Qin.

at the monitor.

Director Wang looked at Han Qiao's small movements on the small screen and looked at Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige waved his hand indifferently. Such a small gesture did not affect the overall situation, and he rarely paid attention to it.

Shooting continues,

Li Xuejian looked gloomy, and finally laughed at himself.

Laugh at your naivety and your kindness as a woman.

They laugh at him as the king of the world, but Zhao is still Zhao.

Unless there are no more Zhao people in Zhao State.

"Click!"

Perfect!

This scene is over.

In the afternoon, Han Qiao stood behind Li Xuejian and finished filming all the scenes in the siege scene.

………………

On the bus, Han Qiao found a seat by the window, leaned against the window, and breathed a comfortable sigh.

After running around for a day, I gained a lot.

The most important thing is that I have witnessed the performance of a movie king, and I have gained a lot of experience in acting under the influence of my ears and eyes.

"Han Qiao, this is your salary for today." Fatty Wang handed out today's salary in the car.

Before the emergence of the Actors Guild, salaries were collected and distributed by the group leader on the same day.

Han Qiao took it and counted it, it was 45 yuan, and the leader of the group drew 5 yuan.

"Brother Wang, isn't this right? Aren't there so many extras?" Han Qiao stopped Fatty Wang and made a five sign.

"Haha, little brother Han, you have embarrassed me today. On the first day, playing a small role has become a prospect." Fatty Wang glanced at Han Qiao one more time. This kid can still get in front of the director's nose: "Director Wang specially told me

, raise your salary from prospect to special."

Xiaote refers to an extra actor who can appear in front of the leading actor but doesn't have many lines.

Director Chen, you should not see my acting talent at this time and ask me for a movie date!

Han Qiao complained in his heart, but he didn't expect Xiaote's salary to be so high: "Brother Wang, I will treat you to Xianzhuang later."

"No, you have been running around all day today and you are tired. Go back and rest early. There will be many opportunities in the future." Fatty Wang patted Han Qiao on the shoulder.

"Okay, then Brother Wang must give me a favor next time." Han Qiao didn't force the invitation because he was too tired.

PS: I beg you to watch and give me two recommendation votes……
