For the role of Huang Silang in "Let the Bullets Fly", Cao Xuan spent a whole day and a half just setting the makeup.

After all, he is Mr. Huang. He has many styles and costumes. He changes clothes almost every time he changes scenes, and he also has several sets of looks.

Cao Xuan did a rough calculation and found that he changed more than thirty sets of costumes and six or seven looks in this day and a half, and this is not all of the entire movie, and may be added and changed at any time during the filming process.

But Cao Xuan is also used to it. This is not the first time he has acted in a rich and noble drama, there are also more costumes.

For example, Jin Yanxi in "The Golden Family" has at least hundreds of sets of clothes in dozens of episodes of the TV series, and there are dozens of sets in "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff", but the colors are somewhat similar, so it's not obvious.

The makeup was finalized for a day and a half, and the script was reviewed with the director. Cao Xuan didn't start filming until the third day.

Cao Xuan was wearing a silk mandarin jacket and a down jacket. He was sitting on a luxurious sofa and kept adjusting his posture in front of the camera.

Hu Ge, who played Hu Wan, had his hair parted in the middle, his ears were bleeding, his expression was a bit nervous, and he kept muttering his lines.

"Be steady and don't be nervous."

Cao Xuan saw this and comforted him. Hu Ge nodded and took a deep breath, but there was not much relief.

It’s no wonder he was nervous, this was the first time he had played directly opposite Cao Xuan in his many years in the industry.

Although Hu Ge signed Fanxing very early, he and Cao Xuan developed on completely different paths.

Hu Ge has been working with Liu Tianxian and Damimi in TV series, but he only switched to movies in the past two years.

And Cao Xuan has never starred in a TV series since "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" in 2003. The few appearances he made were guest appearances with very few roles.

Therefore, although the two have had the experience of participating in the same crew so far, they have mostly been in group roles and have never acted directly opposite each other.

Hu Ge is very popular and has a high status in the crew. Even Lao Jiang has to give him a smile when directing, but he can't stand up to his own boss.

Not only because of the halo of being a boss, but also because Cao Xuan was born as a semi-golden doll in his early years, and now he has become a nearly Grand Slam Best Actor. It can be said that there is a ceiling, which brings a suppressive buff to this group of actors who have a background in ancient dolls or TV.

Therefore, Hu Ge respected and feared Cao Xuan. He was worried that he would not perform well and face the double pressure of his boss and his seniors.

Cao Xuan can more or less feel Hu Ge's thoughts.

In his early years, when he acted in front of his master Li Xuejian for the first time, he was also afraid that he would be embarrassed if he did not perform well and would disappoint his master, which put him under great psychological pressure.

There's nothing easy to adjust about this thing, just play it more and it'll be fine, it won't be cured without treatment.

"How are you preparing?"

Lao Jiang, who was in front of the monitor in the distance, shouted. Cao Xuan took off his down jacket, patted Hu Ge, and each came to the designated position and replied.

"alright."

"Okay, all units, please pay attention, let's start shooting!"

Cao Xuan leaned back on the sofa, frowning slightly, as if he was displeased. Hu Ge was sitting in front of him.

"If the knife goes into the stomach, is it jelly or jelly?"

Hu Ge was a little confused, but he still replied "yes". When he saw Cao Xuan frowning even more, he immediately shook his head: "No."

Cao Xuan left the sofa, bent forward, and with a strong sense of oppression, shouted loudly: "I just want to know, is the jelly still or not?"

Hu Ge: "It's jelly."

"That's wrong...the mood is wrong."

Without Lao Jiang saying anything, Cao Xuan raised his hand to signal a pause and gestured to Hu Ge: "You are not in the right mood, Taiping, you should be more panicked."

Hu Ge nodded, and Lao Jiang signaled to come again. However, after this section passed, Cao Xuan stopped the next section. Lao Jiang came over specifically, without getting angry, and just asked Cao Xuan in a deep voice.

"What do you think of this scene?"

Cao Xuan did not answer, but asked Hu Ge: "How do you think Hu Wan should be played?"

Hu Ge was interrupted twice and replied a little unconfidently: "Huang Silang is angry. Is he afraid? At the same time, he is a little proud. The assigned task has been completed."

"It's done, what is Hu Wan's mission?"

"A show of force?"

"Yes, Huang Silang wanted to give Zhang Mazi a blow, but he killed his son. Hu Wan also reported Huang Silang's name. It was originally a test, but the result was a big feud. Huang Silang may not care about Zhang Mazi, but he

I’m not happy that Hu Wan made his own decisions and sold himself out..."

Lao Jiang nodded beside him, and then added: "So the mission was actually failed, but Hu Wan was not sure at first, which made the conversation fall into Huang Silang's rhythm."

Looking at Hu Ge, who was gradually understanding but still hesitant, Teacher Cao, who was very talented in the Nishinomiya family tradition, came directly to a small class to start the class.

Let Hu Ge break it down bit by bit and explain the proper state and performance of Hu Wan's scene.

"So not only do you have to be confused, but you also panic. At the same time, you have a semi-mechanical response state that is brought into rhythm. I must have been trained by the teacher when I was a child. I didn't know how to teach questions. I was asked questions by the teacher and answered randomly. The more I answered, the more scared I became.

Then Huang Silang gave you a good face. You thought you had passed the test, but how could you be proud of it? Then he asked you all over again. The fear was stronger, but you had to explain your loyalty quickly..."

Hu Ge nodded repeatedly as he listened, wishing he could take a small notebook and write it down.

Lao Jiang was also watching. He was pleased at first, thinking that Cao Xuan had worked hard to study the script, so he was able to speak clearly about the role of the opponent. He found the right actor.

Then he suddenly felt a little aggrieved. Telling actors about plays was clearly his job as a director, but why was Cao Xuan snatching it away from him?

Cao Xuan didn't know what he was thinking. Because there were finished movies, Cao Xuan had a template to follow when acting.

As a result, he could not accurately grasp his own role, and he also had some misunderstandings about other characters in the whole play.

For the others, it’s just a few words. Hu Ge is his own artist and a junior, and his acting skills need to be honed, so Cao Xuan will talk more to help him become successful.

Sure enough, after being taught by Cao Xuan and understanding the direction, the rest of the performance became much smoother. Cao Xuan also exaggerated and said the famous line with disdain.

"Killing people, but also killing people's hearts! It's so scary..."

………

Among the many crews that Cao Xuan has experienced, the filming progress of "Let the Bullets Fly" is considered slow.

On the one hand, Jiang Wen is both directing and acting, and he is not sure about the executive directors. He often has to personally supervise the production, which is bound to delay some progress.

On the other hand, this guy habitually makes changes while filming. Deleting lines and scenes is a trivial matter, and even a scene can be completely reshot.

After Cao Xuan received the script, he noticed that there were many differences between the version and the original finished product.

At that time, Cao Xuan thought that he knew the final product and could just give Lao Jiang a few words, but it didn't work at all. This guy was reincarnated like a stubborn donkey.

Even if you think Cao Xuan's proposal is good, you still have to shoot it all over and over again according to your own ideas, and then compare several versions for consideration.

Cao Xuan, a drama tyrant, has already had several conflicts with Jiang Wen, both openly and secretly.

Lao Jiang is good at overcoming strength with softness. If the conflict intensifies, he will take the initiative to give in and shoot according to Cao Xuan's ideas. But when Cao Xuan's anger subsides, he will force Cao Xuan to shoot another version according to his ideas.

However, Cao Xuan cheated with his golden finger, and many of his suggestions were successfully adopted. He beat Jiang Wen many times, which made Lao Jiang often depressed to the point of being autistic.

He is obviously the director + screenwriter + starring, so how could he be led by Cao Xuan...

The fight between the two became a scene in the cast of "Let the Bullets Fly". The other actors remained silent, and even Zhou Yun did not dare to persuade them. Only Uncle Ge tried to smooth things over from time to time.

However, Cao Jiang said that this bald man is not a good person either.

When trying to break up a fight, he likes to add fuel to the fire. When the quarrel between the two gets louder and louder, the other person stands by with his hands folded and happily watches the fun, and all he has to do is set up a hot pot and sing a song.

However, Uncle Ge strongly denied this statement and felt that the two were just looking for someone to vent their anger on, and he was determined not to take the blame.

In addition to the three giants, Cao Xuan also had a great pleasure in training Hu Ge on the set of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Echeng City Tower, today's photo shoot of Huang Silang sending Hu Wan and Wu Juren to give a "meeting gift" to the newly arrived county magistrate.

Cao Xuan, who had no drama in the morning, personally came to give guidance. Seeing Hu Ge angrily scratching his crotch, he couldn't help but nod in relief.

"The boy is teachable and has more talent than Sissi."

Cao Xuan's small class has been held many times, and many artists from the stars have attended his classes or been tutored by him.

Fan Xiaopang and Hu Jing are considered the most promising, and they are expected to become the best actress or even become the best actress.

Of course, the success of the two people is not entirely due to Cao Xuan, but more due to their own efforts and other factors. Cao Xuan only gave guidance, which does not mean that he taught them the best actress.

Moreover, these two people were his peers, and they learned more from each other, but each gained more or less.

On the contrary, for the new generation below, Cao Xuan really gives guidance and guidance.

Especially Liu Tianxian, who was taught by Cao Xuan step by step in "Hurricane Rescue" at that time, but this girl's acting skills really didn't have much aura, and most of her success depended on her face.

Even though she was much stronger than the original time and space after being taught by Zhongxi, there is still a certain gap compared to those good talents.

At least in Cao Xuan's opinion, before the age of 30, unless he comes across a good film with his true character, Liu Tianxian does not need to think about authoritative awards for Best Actress. After the age of 30, it depends on personal efforts and luck.

Damimi's talent is a little better than hers, but her personality is a big problem. If she is not steady enough to focus on acting, she might not be as successful as Liu Tianxian as an actor.

In comparison, Hu Ge has good talent and is willing to study hard. Cao Xuan is more optimistic. Not to mention winning the Best Actor, at least it is not difficult to transform into a powerful actor.

………

After filming this scene, it was time for lunch. Cao Xuan’s RV and personal chef had just arrived in Zao City a few days ago.

It was already November and the weather was cold, so Cao Xuan called Uncle Ge and Hu Ge to get in the car for dinner. Before the door was closed, Lao Jiang came in shamelessly carrying a box lunch.

"I know you have good things, good guys, six dishes and one soup, and capitalists will enjoy life."

"The capitalists don't welcome you here. Turn right when you go out."
