On the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", in the ancient tomb scene.

Director Yu Min is very depressed now.

He originally wanted to exercise his rights on the first day of filming and set a trap for Zhang Yuan, the "troublemaker".

But he never expected that he could step over this pit in one step.

Now, it seems like I have fallen into a pit.

"If you have any opinions, please tell me."

Zhang Yuan was still "very sincerely" asking Yu Min to evaluate his performance.

Yu Min thought, of course she could say the other way around.

"This scene shouldn't be performed with a smile, it should be performed with tears!"

It is possible, but doing so is not in line with his character. Secondly, he knows very well that Zhang Yuan is a sharp-tongued guy and will definitely refute him.

The actors present all heard about the temporary adjustment of the shooting plan.

Most people don't have Zhang Yuan's experience in the underworld, so they wouldn't think of Yu Min's little thoughts.

I was just worried about the two of them, afraid that the emotional gap would be too big and they wouldn't be able to act well.

But now it seems that this worry is obviously unnecessary.

Not only is it not bad, it is actually very good.

"Is Xixi really that powerful normally?" Wang Jia, a classmate, asked doubtfully.

She didn't know Zhang Yuan, although she had seen some of his previous works and heard some side descriptions from Liu Qianqian.

But after seeing his live performance today, I deeply realized that his acting skills are not inferior to those of us who have received professional training.

As for Sissi.

Because I often take leave to film, I often fall behind in my schoolwork.

The cultural subjects are better, Liu Qianqian has money and can hire someone to give her extra lessons.

But acting classes are more troublesome.

Especially the performance reports several times each semester, which require us to team up with classmates to perform skits.

She was often away, and it was difficult to find someone to work with her. Finally, the teacher arranged for Zhu Yawen to work with her.

Although it is called cooperation, Zhu Yawen is actually one of the most capable students in the class. The teacher made this arrangement to take care of Liu Qianqian.

Not only does she have connections and background, but Qianqian is also the youngest undergraduate student since the founding of Beijing Film Academy. This record is unprecedented and will not be broken in the next 20 years.

Of course, the school needs to be taken care of.

But it was hard for Zhu Yawen, the old man was in pain.

Often complain to other students.

Liu Xixi is not a talented actress like her best friend Shu Chang.

In addition to her face, her body, acting, reading, singing, sports, martial arts... these talents are far beyond ordinary people, but she cannot reach the top in the industry.

Unlike her mother, she has good looks, figure and dancing skills, so she is very unique and has charisma.

She is a bit like a druid, neither particularly weak nor particularly strong.

Except the face, of course.

Girl: Doctor, I want to look like Fan Bingbing.

Doctor: Bring me my knife and saw.

Girl: I want to look like Liu Qianqian.

Doctor: You didn’t come here just to entertain me!
Whether in the entertainment industry or among ordinary people, no one has plastic surgery to look like her, because this face is difficult to replicate.

Fortunately, she worked hard enough and was able to make up for it.

Based on his own observations and Zhu Yawen's words, Wang Jia knew that Liu Qianqian needed a long time to think and adapt before performing, and was not the type of person who could act just by picking up a script.

But he only got the script at noon today and didn't have much time to think about it. Yet he gave such an amazing performance in the afternoon, which really impressed her classmate.

"I... have no objection." Yu Min finally said gritting her teeth.

"Well done, keep it up."

"Ahem... adjust the camera position and do that part again!" Yu Min immediately turned around and said to the camera crew.

While adjusting the camera position, Liu Qianqian took a break but continued to memorize the lines, and Wang Jia also came to her side.

"Xixi, you performed well just now."

"Hehe." Liu Qianqian smiled innocently.

Then he raised his chin towards a place not far away and said, "Well, he taught me."

Wang Jia looked at Zhang Yuan, who was stroking his chin and walking around, thinking: "Did he teach you?"

"Yes, he asked me to recall the roles I played before, and then I remembered that there are commonalities between the characters."

"And..." Xixi glanced in the direction of the director, then leaned close to her classmate's ear and told her everything Zhang Yuan had told her, about director Yu Min's plan to set a trap.

"Ah!" Wang Jia opened his mouth wide, thought about it, and then he reacted.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" was her second drama, and the crew was inexperienced, so they naturally could not have imagined the intrigues involved.

"He knew clearly that the director was deliberately setting him up, but he remained completely calm, as if nothing had happened. No, it was as if he was not the one being set up."

Wang Jia thought again of the boys in his class, all of whom were either thinking about staying up all night in the Internet cafe or showing off on the basketball court.

She would make a fuss over the slightest thing, and would cry in her dorm for three days if she was rejected by the crew during an audition.

In contrast, Zhang Yuan is too calm. Although they are of the same age, the gap between them is shockingly large.

"I finally understand why Sissi always seems to be obsessed with him when she mentions him."

"What kind of strange person am I?"

"Now it seems that he does have his own unique charm."

"If I had someone like this who could remain calm and give me advice in times of crisis, I would probably miss him from time to time."

On Yu Min's side, the bearded man stroked his gray and white beard.

"There is indeed no problem with Zhang Yuan's ability. He is more than capable of handling this role."

“People with abilities always have tempers.”

“Just don’t go too far.”

The bearded man was hinting at Yu Min, asking him to stop.

Yu Min needs to fight for power and prove himself, but Big Beard doesn't.

He is the boss of the crew, the top leader, and has the highest say and final decision-making power.

So what he has to do is to maintain the balance of the crew.

Besides, he was dissatisfied with Yu Min at the moment.

You can cause trouble, but you have to win for me!

If you lose after all the effort, you might as well not do it.

Yu Min knew that her little thoughts had been seen through and her little actions had no effect at all, and she felt extremely depressed.

"Film the show well."

“Don’t overdo it.”

The bearded man nodded again and turned to make tea.

Yu Min understood that what Zhang Jizhong meant was that the effect of the film should not be affected by personal reasons.

He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​"testing the actors" today.

The scene just now was shot a few more times and passed smoothly.

"Today is the first day of filming. Both leads performed very well. Keep up the good work!" The bearded man praised loudly.

He knew very well that with Zhang Yuan's intelligence, there was no way he could not see through Yu Min's little tricks.

He deliberately praised them in public just to appease the two leading actors.

What does it mean to be an old hand?

Following this scene, there is actually a scene where Xiaolongnu puts on the phoenix crown and bridal robe, and she and Yang Guo talk about their true feelings to each other, and finally Yang Guo figures out a way to heal Xiaolongnu's serious injury.

But it was already dark and time for dinner, so it was obviously too late to film this today.

"I have booked a banquet at the hotel. Let's have dinner together." The bearded man is quite knowledgeable about the routine. It's the first day, so they have to communicate their feelings.

But if we talk about being stingy, this old guy is the most stingy. The restaurant he booked is very ordinary and the drinks are also affordable.

"Come, let's toast to our crew's great director, Director Yu Min!" As soon as the banquet started, Zhang Yuan stood up with a glass of wine.

Logically speaking, Zhang Jizhong is the oldest and should be respected first.

But Zhang Yuan did it on purpose, which made Yu Min's face turn cold and she even glanced at the bearded man.

"Yes, yes, yes. The director works very hard. As an actor, we should respect the director." The bearded man interrupted.

At the same time I was thinking.

This kid is really difficult to deal with!
I haven't forgotten what happened in the afternoon.

Now he seemed to respect Yu Min, but in fact he was deliberately irritating him.

Now he has Ma Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei protecting him, so it’s hard for me to do anything.

Of course, Big Beard, such a domineering man, was not happy with Zhang Yuan's prickly behavior.

He loves raising dogs and walking them.

But in addition to having "connections above", Zhang Yuan is also tied down by the interests of meals and scenic spot projects, which prevent him from touching even a single cent.

So the bearded man was also very depressed. After much calculation, he found that his interests were almost the same as Zhang Yuan's. Zhang Yuan was too smart, even to the point that he was a little afraid of him.

"Zhang Yuan, I want to clink glasses with you too!" After toasting everyone, Liu Qianqian returned to her seat and raised her glass to say to him.

Glancing at the white milk in her glass, Zhang Yuan said disdainfully, "I'm easily lactose intolerant even if I clink glasses with you."

Xixi tilted her head and squinted, then looked at her mother not far away with some helplessness, and said in a low voice.

"My mother said I was underage and wouldn't let me drink, especially at drinking parties outside."

"She said that drunk girls can be dangerous."

Zhang Yuan nodded. The luckiest thing for Liu Qianqian was that she always had her mother by her side.

There are countless cases of women being given alcohol and drugs in the entertainment industry, so you do have to be careful.

"Okay, when you come of age, I'll drink with you alone," Zhang Yuan promised.

"My mother said that you are the most dangerous one."

Zhang Yuan: …

Seeing that his face was tense, Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and laughed foolishly.

After a long time, he stopped with trembling shoulders: "We agreed that when I can drink, you will accompany me alone."

"no problem."

Zhang Yuan replied with some discomfort.

In the past, I was the only one who teased her, but now she will tease me instead.

"Zhang Yuan, we've filmed two dramas together before, and this is the third one." Chen Zi Han, the charming older sister, came to his side with a glass of wine.

"But in the previous two dramas, although we were in the same crew, we basically had no scenes together."

"So you say, are we destined to be together, or not?" The man's cheeks were pink, and it was obvious that he had drunk a lot.

"Of course it's fate. We have scenes together in this play, and there are a lot of them."

Guo Fu and Yang Guo do have a lot of scenes.

"Good things come to those who wait. After two dramas, we finally have the opportunity to officially cooperate. I will cherish it." Zhang Yuan clinked glasses with her.

Chen Zihan smiled and drank all the red wine in the glass.

"Oh, time flies. In a blink of an eye, you have become the leading man." Chen Zihan sighed after drinking.

"But I'm still the supporting actress, just like before," she said somewhat sadly.

Compared with Zhang Yuan, I seem to be standing still.

Zhang Yuan was also helpless.

Chen Zihan has good looks, good acting skills, nice breasts, nice buttocks, and a good figure.

And her seductive looks are very popular among men.

If she uses her power to tease men, 99% of them will not be able to resist.

but!

These advantages of hers became disadvantages in the entertainment industry, making her acting range very narrow.

The three golden flowers of the 94 class of Beijing Film Academy are Jiang Qinqin, Jin Qiaoqiao, and Chen Zihan.

In the end, Jiang Qinqin, who has the purest appearance, has a more successful career. There's nothing we can do about it; that's the Chinese people's aesthetic taste.

The same goes for Guo Fu this time. This role is very difficult to play. It is difficult for anyone to make a very deep impression no matter who plays it. Moreover, because of the setting of the character itself, it is easy for the audience to dislike her.

It's a thankless job.

Just like Chen Zihan’s experience in the entertainment industry.

"I'm just lucky." Zhang Yuan replied modestly.

"You are not lucky!" Chen Zihan, under the influence of alcohol, was more charming than usual: "You rely on your ability, I know."

"Hehehe..." She suddenly laughed.

"A while ago, just before I came to the crew, I had dinner with Xiao Ming."

"He is still depressed and still doesn't understand why he lost the role of Yang Guo."

"We talked about this at the dinner party and we were all drunk."

Chen Zihan and Huang Xiaoming are both from Beijing Film Academy, and Chen Zihan is Xiaoming's senior.

At the same time, the two also starred in "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" together, so they have a good relationship.

"I told him that it's normal to lose to you."

"He's not as handsome as you, his acting skills are not as good as yours, and he's older than you."

"As a result, he became even more depressed and finally collapsed on the table."

"Hahaha." Chen Zihan was extremely excited when talking about his old friend's embarrassing story.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, "Hey you, you're trying to make me hate you!"
"Compared to acting with him, it's more fun to act with you."

"why?"

"He's too familiar to be attacked."

Zhang Yuan kept scratching his head. This guy must have drunk too much and was talking nonsense.

"I was just joking, why are you so nervous?" After Chen Zihan clinked glasses with him again, he stood up, twisting his hips, shaking his waist, and walked away slowly.

When he turned around, he saw Liu Qianqian staring at him with an unfriendly look.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing, you're just so popular." After saying that, she drank the whole glass of milk in one gulp.

"Slow down, you'll burp again soon..."

There are many actors in the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", but most of them do not arrive on the first day. Some will join the crew later.

So this meal was just to build good relationships with the main staff of the crew and get to know each other.

After dinner, everyone returned to the filming location.

The bearded man is like this, as long as it doesn't kill him, he will use it to death.

He likes to develop actors' abilities to the limit.

So in his crew, working more than ten hours a day is the norm, and there are night scenes almost every day.

And it’s all written into the contract, so you can’t run away even if you want to.

The protagonist of the night scene was Liu Qianqian, and it just so happened that she didn't drink, so it wasn't a problem.

The specific content is some scenes at the gate of Chongyang Palace, which is also the shot when Xiaolongnu first appeared.

But today we don’t have any wire suspension, so it’s pretty easy, just some close-up shots on the ground.

"All departments get ready, Xiao Long Nu gets ready."

Yu Min sat in front of the monitor feeling a little tired, mainly because she was mentally exhausted.

I feel tired when I see Zhang Yuan.

"ACTION!"

In front of the camera, Liu Qianqian was still dressed in white, holding several meters long white silks.

On the other side of the white silk were several extras dressed as Taoist children.

Swish!
Liu Qianqian swung her arms, Bai Ling was lifted up by the steel wire, and the Taoist boy was thrown out.

"Card!"

"Xiao Longnu's eyes and expression are more severe. Let's do it again."

Swish!
Again.

"Card!"

"Xiao Longnu, focus on your opponent, don't look at Bai Ling."

Swish!
"Stuck, it's the same old problem. Don't let Bai Ling distract you!"

For several times in a row, Liu Xixi's performance was in stark contrast to that during the day.

Everything was going very smoothly during the day, but now it’s full of NGs.

"Take a break first, Xiao Long Nu, adjust your state and concentrate!"

Yu Min shouted loudly.

It was like I was venting the anger that had been suppressed for the entire afternoon.

Liu Qianqian returned to her seat, picked up the thermos cup with a depressed look, and drank a sip of water.

"Xixi, be serious." Mother Liu encouraged.

"It was fine during the day, why isn't it fine now? Are you tired?"

"I am a little tired, but..." Liu Qianqian was just about to reply when she heard Zhang Yuan's voice.

"She's not tired."

"That's not the problem."

Zhang Yuan walked forward, stroking his temples.

"What?" Liu Xiaoli asked puzzledly.

"She's not tired, her attention is distracted." He was not in this scene, but he didn't go back to the hotel to rest. Instead, he watched from the side.

"It's okay, I have a solution." Zhang Yuan smiled evilly and squatted next to Xiao Longnu... (End of this chapter)
