Chapter 15: Amazing Acting Skills
"All departments, take your positions. We'll go through one lane first."
The director had just finished speaking.
The crew immediately got busy.
The camera, dragged along the track, was quickly repositioned, and the sound engineer and makeup artist also rushed to the set to prepare.
The stagehands even started scattering lime on the ground.
As always, the director is responsible for setting up the actors' positions before filming to prevent them from running out of the frame while filming.
Xu An didn't show any other emotions at this moment. Although this was his first role, he wasn't overly excited and remained very calm.
In contrast, the actor who had scenes with him was still somewhat green, namely Song Weilong, who played Yinglong.
"Attention all departments, Scene 172, Shot 1, Action!"
The words had barely left his lips.
Xu An looked up at the people around him. Although he had a smile on his face, there was a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
"I'm getting married. This is my first wife."
As he spoke, Xu An reached out and put his arm around the actress next to him. At the same time, his eyes and the corners of his mouth began to change. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were staring intently at his opponent, Dong Ge.
Her eyes held unease and reluctance to part with Dong Ge.
After all, in the setting of this drama, Dongge, the most beautiful woman of the Jurchen people, is in love with Nurhaci, and Nurhaci is also in love with her.
He just didn't want her to be with someone like him who conquered the world on horseback, and he didn't want her to get hurt.
Although the plot is explosive, there are many more explosive dramas in this era where Qing Dynasty dramas are commonplace!
Moreover, with Aunt Qiong Yao's masterpieces preceding it, the other plots seem much more bland.
You are heartless, indifferent, and unreasonable!
"Dong-ge, aren't you happy for me?"
"Hehe, I'm happy! How could I not be happy? I also have something to tell you."
"What's wrong?"
Xu An suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with panic, as if he had a premonition of something.
Dong Ge looked up at Song Weilong, who played Yinglong, then placed his hand on Song's hand and said with a smile, "Yinglong and I are getting married too."
Song Weilong didn't immediately catch on to the scene, looking rather dazed. He quickly realized what was happening and immediately looked at Dong Ge with a shocked expression.
It's like saying: No, we're getting married? When did that happen? How come I didn't know?
He even glanced at Dong Ge speechlessly, only to be met with a glare from the other man.
To be honest, the actor Dong Ge is too ordinary-looking.
They portrayed her as the most beautiful woman in the Jurchen tribe, but they ended up casting an ordinary actress.
It would be better to have An Yixuan play the role; at least that would be more believable.
However, very few production teams can find actors according to the established script.
The main reasons are either that the director doesn't want to cast them, or that actors who fit the character are too expensive, or that the sponsors will force them to cast actresses they like.
After all, directors have very little power in the era of internet traffic; they're practically invisible, only able to scare off unknown actors.
Famous actors or popular celebrities treat directors like servants in their homes.
This is not an exaggeration; the popularity of these celebrities is simply too great, and if you want to make money, you have to accept this fact.
If even casual viewers can act like this, imagine how top-tier celebrities act. Top-tier celebrities are not only fawned over by directors, but also by investors.
A drama can only be considered a drama if it features top-tier celebrities. Without top-tier celebrities, sometimes a drama simply won't exist.
Only by securing a deal with a top influencer can a storyline be tailored specifically for them.
This is not just a rumor, but the current situation during the heyday of the "Four Great and Three Little Actresses".
These seven people, plus Shuangzi, have already seized absolute power.
Even though "Shanghai Fortress" was such a terrible show, the director still had to defend Lu Han in front of the camera, taking all the blame upon himself.
Is he stupid? No, he simply can't afford to offend them.
Not only him, but even the investors dared not say anything to Lu Han. They had to leave a good impression on Lu Han, so that at least they would have a connection when they needed help next time.
at the same time.
Upon hearing Dong Ge's words, Xu An's smile vanished as suddenly as a streetlamp in the early morning.
His expression shifted from apprehension to astonishment, but he quickly composed himself.
But his once bright and piercing eyes suddenly lost their light.
It's like the rising sun in the morning being blocked by dark clouds.
He even tried to cover it up with an awkward laugh at first, but his eyes kept darting around.
"How about this, the four of us get married together?"
"Great, not bad at all! This actor is really good!"
In front of the monitor, Liu Zhenming, the director, pointed at Xu An.
"Where did you find this person?"
The casting director behind him immediately bowed his head and said, "This is someone a classmate of mine recommended to me. He speaks highly of him, so I had him give it a try."
"Excellent! There aren't many young actors with such acting skills; it's very nuanced!"
After hearing the director's words, the casting director couldn't help but mutter to himself.
No!
His old classmate didn't tell him that this kid was such a good actor; he only said that the kid was quite capable.
If I had told you this kid was a good actor, he might have gotten me a more important role.
"Card!"
After the wedding scene ended, Xu An finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took off his heavy clothes.
When he took off his clothes, his short-sleeved shirt, soaked with sweat, was immediately revealed.
Xu An didn't think it was a big deal; if a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water could solve it, then it wasn't a big deal.
It's just filming a scene in the sweltering heat wearing thick clothes. Isn't that much more comfortable than carrying bricks on a construction site?
Only those who are content can find lasting happiness.
"Oh no, Xu An, you fell into the water?"
A gasp rang out, and then Tian Xiwei rushed to his side.
Although Xu An smelled terrible, Tian Xiwei just frowned and quickly took out a tissue from her bag to wipe the sweat from Xu An's forehead.
"I didn't fall into the water. Didn't you see the costume next to me? This is what it's like to be a film actor."
Tian Xiwei didn't say anything, but just glanced at Xu An's slightly pale lips, got up and went to the stage manager who was preparing Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, and poured the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water down Xu An's throat.
To be honest, the movements were a bit rough.
However, Xu An couldn't care less about that at this point; he was indeed feeling like he was about to suffer from heatstroke.
Li Yitong watched the two of them from the side, her brows gradually furrowing.
Tian Xiwei's eagerness to greet people angered her. Didn't she just agree to ignore Xu An? Why is she being so proactive now?
The ship of friendship can capsize in an instant!
"How about it? Do you still think filming is fun now?" Xu An put his hands on his waist and then leaned back in a very unladylike manner.
