Chapter 62 Ignorance
Crew, night.
Today is a night show.
Zhang Yuan and Gao Yuanyuan each wore a plain robe with a red gauze over it.
Gao Yuanyuan was wearing a pure red gauze veil on her head.
Both of them were dressed in bright red from head to toe; even the straps on Zhang Yuan's bun were bright red.
Obviously, this is a Chinese wedding!
This scene is about Zhang Wuji breaking into the wedding banquet of Song and Zhou, and the woman in yellow and Gu Tian come to break the impasse.
Song Qingshu, played by Zhang Yuan, is about to marry Zhou Zhiruo under the arrangement of the Beggars' Sect, and also to lure Zhang Wuji to his death.
It's really a case of tit for tat. Zhang Wuji ruined someone else's wedding, and later his wedding was also ruined by Zhao Min.
Unfortunately, Zhou Zhiruo was the unlucky one both times...
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Cut!" The play had just begun when the literary director Yang Tao called for a stop.
"Yuanyuan, Zhou Zhiruo was captured by the Beggars' Sect at this time and was forced to marry Song Qingshu."
"Not only were people's acupuncture points pressed, but even when they were worshiping heaven and earth, someone pressed their heads."
"So you have to be reluctant, but also feel a little helpless because you can't control your fate."
"Why do you look so happy now?"
Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Zhang Yuan beside her and laughed embarrassedly with her hands covering her mouth.
"Okay, everyone is a little tired from the night show, let's take a break and adjust our state."
In the rest area, Zhang Yuan came to Gao Yuanyuan who was using her red veil as a handkerchief.
"What's wrong with you? Your acting doesn't seem right."
"Oh, the recent plays are getting more and more difficult." Gao Yuanyuan rested her chin with one hand: "I always feel like I can't grasp the character well."
Gao Yuanyuan is a lively person. She often asks Jia Jingwen and others to make faces in front of the camera, and she is the most enthusiastic one.
But when it comes to her career, she is rather dull.
She is not a professional and her personal comprehension ability is relatively ordinary, far inferior to Alyssa Chia and Chen Zihan.
Although she has appeared in many movies and TV series, the reason why she was chosen to star in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was probably because of her face.
The audience is the same, they just look at this face.
This was the time when Gao Yuanyuan's beauty peaked. She had shed the immaturity of her teenage years, but had not yet embraced the sophistication of a mature woman.
At this moment, this face is in the ultimate state of "hands in pockets, no rivals".
Ordinary audiences don’t care about acting skills, they just want to enjoy the show. Otherwise, why are idol dramas from Taiwan and South Korea so popular? The acting skills of the leading actors in these films are not that good either.
The previous scenes were okay. As a disciple of Emei, Zhou Zhiruo was led by her master and suppressed by her senior sister Ding Minjun. She often seemed timid and had only occasional highlights.
This is 80% similar to her own personality, and she can play the role in a very natural way.
But in the later period, Master Miejue died, Zhou Zhiruo turned evil, and she had nothing but hatred and resentment towards the people around her.
The character's inner state at this time is far from her true nature, and like Liu Qianqian, she does not have strong self-regulation ability.
In addition, the actors have such a good relationship in private, so it is indeed difficult for her to express hatred in the performance.
In the following days, Gao Yuanyuan continued to have many NGs and her condition remained low.
Several experienced actors also gave her advice, but the effect was limited.
Lai Shuiqing and Yang Tao were a bit helpless and had to teach patiently, but it ended up being a bit of a burden to the crew.
Gao Yuanyuan also noticed this situation and became increasingly depressed, forming a vicious cycle.
That day, while Gao Yuanyuan was memorizing her lines, Zhang Yuan came to Su Youpeng and others.
"Yuanyuan hasn't been behaving well lately."
"Well, there are too many NGs. My confidence has been hit and my acting will only get worse." Su Youpeng has been in the industry for more than ten years and has seen a lot of this kind of situation.
"We can't go on like this." Zhang Yuan glanced at the people around him.
Jia Jingwen narrowed her eyes and looked at him sideways: "Zhang Yuanni is so smart, have you thought of a solution?"
Is there any way?
Yes, it does exist, but it requires everyone to work together.
Moreover, this move is considered an evil one, not a "proper martial art".
A few years later, a comedy that will go down in the history of Chinese TV dramas will be born, called "Wulin Waijia".
Among them, Yu Entai, who played Lü Qinghou and Lü Xiucai, was asked by screenwriter Ning Caishen to read "The Analects of Confucius" carefully before filming began in order to get closer to the character.
Yu Entai is a very professional and intelligent person. Not only can he recite the "Analects of Confucius" by heart, he also studied Li Zehou's commentary version and even memorized the "Book of Songs".
When they arrived at the scene, Yu Entai told the screenwriter and director about the incident, and they both told the truth.
These are all useless, you've memorized them in vain.
Now, the image of a good-for-nothing scholar, a down-and-out scholar with a wealth of knowledge but nowhere to go, has become himself, without any need for acting.
This is one of the most commonly used methods by crews and actors, and it is also the "experiential" way of shaping character psychology among the three major categories of acting.
Su Youpeng, Alyssa Chia, and Chen Zihan all use expressionist and method performance styles, and their opinions are unlikely to help Gao Yuanyuan.
So in the end there was only one way left.
When an actor can't get into the role, throw her into the same environment as the character.
"So, you want to..." Su Youpeng roughly understood what he meant.
After discussing for a while, they finally reached a consensus.
"Let's make a deal first. After this is over, I will confess to her and we will all apologize together." Zhang Yuan made a plan, and the others nodded in agreement. In the afternoon, the crew finished work.
"Zhang Yuan, what are we going to eat tonight?" Gao Yuanyuan gathered around a few friends as usual.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said goodbye.
"Then Sister Zi Han..."
"I have something to do too."
"Jingwen, brother Youpeng?"
"Let's go first."
Gao Yuanyuan waved goodbye in surprise, watching her friends from the crew who used to eat and live with her leave one after another.
"What happened to them?"
I had some doubts in my mind, but I didn't think too much about it for the time being.
Although Gao Yuanyuan was slow to react, over the next few days, the actors in the same group spoke less and less to her and their attitudes became much colder.
She finally realized something was wrong.
"They seem to be..." Gao Yuanyuan felt empty inside.
"Is it because my acting skills are bad and I drag the crew down that everyone dislikes me?"
For a moment, I felt lonely, cold, depressed, sad, and even a little angry.
These emotions came to my mind one by one.
Anyone who has experienced it knows that being collectively ignored is extremely unpleasant.
Gao Yuanyuan has been pampered by her family and protected by her friends since she was a child. She has a happy life and has no shortage of food and clothing. This is the first time she has experienced this feeling.
On to the next scene.
Ding Minjun attempted to steal Zhou Zhiruo's "Nine Yin Scriptures". After being discovered, Zhou Zhiruo expelled her from Emei, but she was killed by Song Qingshu halfway.
This time her performance was different.
"Go away!" Gao Yuanyuan looked at Lin Jing, thinking of the pain of being treated coldly despite having been together for these days. Finally, a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
"Cut!" Yang Tao called out with a smile.
"It's a good day today. That ruthless and cold feeling is just right."
"Keep it like this."
Zhang Yuan gave Su Youpeng and the others a look.
Become!
After the show was over, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to come to Gao Yuanyuan.
Like everyone else, Zhang Yuan hadn't had dinner or chatted with her for a few days.
Seeing him walking straight towards her, Gao Yuanyuan suddenly felt a little at a loss.
"Yuanyuan, you performed very well just now."
"Thank you...what do you want from me?"
"Well, actually, I have something I want to tell you. I've been holding it in my heart for several days."
Deng Deng Deng!
Gao Yuanyuan's heart was pounding.
Everyone's indifference these days has made her feel lonely and unbearable, and Zhang Yuan is the first person who has taken the initiative to talk to her recently.
Moreover, when she made eye contact with Zhang Yuan, she found that the other party's eyes were burning and extremely serious, and it was obvious that he was not joking.
I've been holding it in for several days and wanted to tell me... Gao Yuanyuan swallowed and felt her mouth and tongue dry, and her cheeks and forehead flushed.
"Well, tell me."
Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head, her eyes flickering back and forth, and her index fingers clasped together in her palms.
With him around, I won’t feel lonely even if others ignore me.
At this moment, in her mind, all kinds of positive images came to her mind, including Zhang Yuan's heroic appearance when filming the fight scenes, his elegance when splashing ink and writing, his kindness when giving her a massage, and his determination when blocking the sword for him.
This man was gilded in her mind.
"Then I'll tell you." Zhang Yuan cleared his throat, his expression somewhat confused and at a loss.
"It's okay, just talk, I'm listening."
Only then did Gao Yuanyuan raise her head, her eyes full of affection and she smiled.
"Well, actually..."
Deng Deng Deng Deng...
Her heartbeat became more and more intense, and Gao Yuanyuan could even hear the blood surging with her own ears.
"Actually, everyone ignored you these days. It was all arranged by me."
Click!
Zhang Yuan looked back and forth.
"What broke?"
"Why do I hear glass breaking?"
He didn't know that what was shattered at that moment was the heart of a young girl in love.
Looking at Gao Yuanyuan in front of her, black air was rising and rolling above her head...
