The next day, while Li He was still sleeping, he was awakened by a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Liu Wu stood outside, holding breakfast in his hand and saying hello: "Good morning, Teacher Li."
Li He yawned and said, "What time is it now?"
"At six o'clock in the morning, you can have breakfast first. We will do makeup later, and then go to the set." Liu Wu said.
"Okay..." Li He was not polite, sitting on the sofa while eating and listening to Liu Wu's schedule for today.
After breakfast, Liu Wu took Li He to a room on the second floor, which had been converted into a dressing room for the exclusive use of the leading actors.
Here Li Hyuk met Chen Jianbin, the actor who plays the male lead in this drama.
"Teacher Chen, good morning!" Li He took the initiative to greet me.
"Hello, are you the actor Sun Li mentioned?" Chen Jianbin's tone was very kind.
"I wonder what Teacher Sun Li said about me?" Li He asked with a smile.
After finding a place to sit down, the makeup artist began to apply makeup on his face.
Chen Jianbin sighed: "Sun Li was so frightened by you that she came back and asked me, how could there be a young actor with such good acting skills?"
"Teacher Sun Li praised me so much. I still have a lot to learn." Li He said modestly.
"Haha, don't be too modest. I'm ready here. See you on the set later."
"See you on set..."
After putting on makeup, Li Hyuk sat in the car and studied the script carefully. According to today's schedule, Director Zheng will not shoot difficult scenes for him. He will mainly focus on simple scenes to give him an adaptation process.
In fact, the crew follows a step-by-step process when filming. Usually they won't arrange particularly difficult scenes at the beginning. Once the actors get better, they will gradually film the more difficult scenes.
But for Li Hyuk, he can enter the state at any time and does not need any buffer at all.
The tentative title of this drama is "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Director Zheng Xiaolong thinks that the name is enough, simple and easy to remember, and there is no need to change the name. However, after reading the script, Li He felt that the drama should be renamed "The Emperor and His Women"
", or "The Upgrade of the Concubine"
Reading scripts is an extremely boring thing, because it is not as smooth as novels. Fortunately, Li Hyuk's previous life was just as boring as reading various documents, and he did not find it difficult to read scripts.
The car drove smoothly and came to a temple. The crew spent a lot of money to negotiate with the temple to film here. It seems that even if money is an external thing, Buddha is not exempt from the secular world. After all, he still needs to eat!
The temple scene is one of the few location scenes in this play. At this time, Zhen Huan has been kicked out of the palace, came here to practice, and was bullied by a group of nuns.
When life was dark, Prince Yunli of Guo County was like the moon in the night, illuminating a small place in Zhen Huan's heart.
Li Hyuk used to think that the crew filmed the scenes in order, which made it easier to sort out the story and make it easier for the actors to get into the mood and perform.
But after filming "Palace", I realized that the crew shoots scenes in a jumping manner, from easy to difficult, step by step. In addition, considering the location problem, usually the director will shoot all the scenes in this location within a certain period of time, which saves money.
Come back to shoot again.
The temple has been prepared here. There are a lot of modern equipment in an ancient temple. This strong visual contrast makes people feel strange.
This temple is said to have been built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is located on a cliff with only one side of steps to go up. Usually there is an endless stream of pilgrims. However, today the crew closed the temple early for filming, so there were no pilgrims.
Sun Li was sitting on a chair wearing a nun's clothes. She had come earlier and was chatting with Chen Jianbin.
"Hey, you're here, come and sit here, they're not ready yet!" Sun Li greeted.
Li He was not polite and sat directly next to him. Assistant Liu Wu very thoughtfully brought three cups of hot tea. It is winter now, and drinking hot tea can keep you warm.
"Teacher Chen, you have to be careful for a while. This kid's acting is very scary. If you don't pay attention, you will be suppressed by him." Sun Li said to Chen Jianbin.
Chen Jianbin wondered: "I don't have any scenes with him in the temple, right? The scenes here are mainly for you two. I just show up at the end to pick them up."
"Then wouldn't it be miserable for me? I would be suppressed by him. It would be so stressful!" Sun Li said with a smile.
Li Henuo teased: "Director Li Huizhu told me that you are a representative of the acting school among actresses, much better than Boss Yang, so don't give in!"
Sun Li glanced at Li He charmingly and said: "Oh, now that I am old, I am a mother of children, and I am no longer as good as you young ones."
"Don't say that. If you were old, how could Emperor Yongzheng miss you so much and take you back to the palace himself?" Li He said with a smile.
"Haha, that makes sense. My taste is not that high!" Chen Jianbin also agreed.
Li He suddenly thought of something. In the previous drama, he had just competed with Yongzheng for the throne, and in this drama, he competed with him for women. If Yongzheng knew about it, would he punish the nine tribes? That's not right. If the nine tribes were punished, Yongzheng himself wouldn't be able to escape.
But when I think about it this way, it feels very interesting and interesting.
The few people chatted for a while, and the crew prepared the filming site. Naturally, the empress appeared in the first scene. Li He chatted with Chen Jianbin and asked about acting.
Chen Jianbin is also a first-line actor in the TV industry. In Gao Xixi's version of "Three Kingdoms", which was popular this year, Chen Jianbin played Cao Cao, which was impressive.
Before coming, Feng Shaofeng suggested to Li He that if he had any questions about acting, he might as well ask Chen Jianbin, and Li He did so.
Chen Jianbin did not hide his secrets. He shared his understanding of acting with Li He, and the two even had a dialogue.
The movements of the two leading actors naturally attracted the attention of director Zheng Xiaolong. He watched Li He trying to ask Chen Jianbin for advice and nodded secretly. People who work hard are likeable, and an actor with talent and acting skills is even more likeable.
Zheng Xiaolong turned to screenwriter Liu Lianzi to discuss the matter and planned to give Li He more roles.
"You are very good at acting. What you lack is experience. You have to take more roles in this area and accumulate experience. I think you will be able to get one step closer." After one scene, Chen Jianbin said to Li He.
On the surface, he seemed relaxed and gave some advice to Li He, but Chen Jianbin was actually surprised in his heart. Originally, Chen Jianbin was a little disapproving of Sun Li's compliments on Li He's acting skills. In his opinion, after all, he is a young man under twenty years old.
If you have acting skills, how much better can you get?
Chen Jianbin even speculated that Li Hyuk was the son of some entertainment industry boss, and Director Zheng chose Li Hyuk because of his reputation.
But this time I tried it, I was surprised. Is there really a genius actor?
Li Hyuk's acting was natural, without any trace of acting, as if he was the character and the character was him.
Chen Jianbin didn't know how he did it. Anyway, when he was acting, he only had this feeling of acting when he was in the best condition.
