Chapter 42: Your Majesty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have revolted
"Director, you're ready."
Li He and Gao Xixi were chatting when an assistant director came over and said.
Gao Xixi nodded and said, "Okay, let's try and shoot it first."
The assistant director quickly made arrangements, and Li Hyuk also made the final touch-ups, as well as sorting out the costumes and appearance.
Strictly speaking, today's first scene is the first official shooting of "The Legend of Chu and Han", so several leading actors including Chen Daoming are here.
Looking at Li He who was applying make-up, Chen Daoming asked Qin Lan, "Do you know this young actor?"
"We know each other. Not long ago, "Palace" became a hit!" Qin Lan replied.
"Oh, that's right!" Chen Daoming showed no expression: "If he can squeeze out Yu Bin to win this role, it must be difficult for him."
"Of course it's not simple. I heard that he is very valued by Director Zheng." Qin Lan said mysteriously.
"Director Zheng Xiaolong?"
"Yes," Qin Lan recalled: "Sun Li told me. She said that the second male lead in the TV series she was filming was a young actor with quite good acting skills."
Chen Daoming became curious: "If you say so, I have to take a closer look."
The first test shoot started soon. Li He behaved very naturally. Not only Gao Xixi was satisfied, but even Chen Daoming nodded and said to Qin Lan: "It's really good. It's stylish, natural, and not jerky."
What is the best feeling of acting? Everyone has a personal answer, but for Chen Daoming, Li Hyuk's performance just now was the best feeling.
However, Chen Daoming was satisfied, but Li He was not. He always felt that something was wrong.
"Okay, I passed this one." He even tried to shoot, but because of Li He's outstanding performance, Gao Xixi passed directly.
However, Li He raised his hand and said: "Director, I think it can be better. Let's do it again!"
Everyone on the crew looked at Li Hyuk in surprise, as if they were meeting this actor for the first time. In fact, it was really the first time for everyone to meet him. This was the first time for the young actor who had been on so many crews and was very demanding.
Although Gao Xixi didn't think it was necessary, Li Hyuk's attitude of striving for excellence moved him, and he didn't feel that his authority as a director was challenged, so he just followed Li Hyuk's words: "Okay, then let's do it again."
We filmed it again, and this time the effect was better than the last time. Gao Xixi shouted, and the crew thought it was over. But Gao Xixi asked Li He again: "Hu Hai, what do you think?"
During the filming, the actors were called by the names of their characters to make it easier to enter the scene.
Li He still felt something was wrong. After thinking about it for a while, he finally felt that something was wrong. He quickly said to Gao Xixi: "Director, I acted wrongly."
"The acting was wrong, what was wrong in the acting?"
"Where did I go wrong in my performance? I feel good!"
The crew was in an uproar, puzzled by Li Hyuk's words.
"Then tell me where I went wrong in my performance." After the second performance, Gao Xixi also discovered some problems.
Li He thought deeply and said: "According to the setting, Hu Hai should be an absurd, fun-loving second emperor. I just acted too seriously, just like Mr. Chen Daoming's performance in "Kangxi Dynasty"."
Everyone suddenly realized, yes, before they only thought that the actor acted well, but they forgot that it was not consistent with the character setting. He acted like Youdao Mingjun.
Chen Daoming perfectly portrayed the emperor Kangxi in "Kangxi Dynasty". I won't mention whether Kangxi was the emperor through the ages, but Chen Daoming's performance is penetrating and is also a model among many emperors.
Gao Xixi nodded and said, "Yes, it felt a little strange just now. Find out what you feel and let's play it again."
"OK." Li He felt it for a while, then signaled after two minutes: "It's time to start..."
"Okay, everyone is quiet."
"It is quite now……"
"It is quite now……"
"The shooting of the first scene of "Legend of Chu and Han" begins."
As soon as the filming started, the camera was focused on Li Hyuk's face. Li Hyuk changed his majestic and upright look in front of him and truly acted out the feeling of a fatuous emperor. This scene was not difficult, and I passed it smoothly the third time.
.
Chen Daoming's evaluation of Li He has been raised to another level. The transformation of the character's temperament has no sense of contradiction. One second, he is a wise and wise king, and the next second, he immediately switches to a ignorant and ignorant king. The acting skills of this young actor are very good.
"Why, don't you feel a little bit ticklish?" Qin Lan said with a smile from the side.
"That's right," Chen Daoming nodded and said, "This young man's acting skills are no worse than mine. It's a pity that we don't have a rival role."
Yes, according to the script, Liu Bang and Hu Hai have no rivalry. By the time Liu Bang reaches Xianyang, Hu Hai will be dead.
"You can look for opportunities to cooperate again in the future. There are many opportunities." Qin Lan said.
"Haha, let's talk about it when the time comes!" Chen Daoming laughed.
After the scene ended, Li He walked off the set and saw Chen Daoming waving to him from a distance.
"Teacher Chen, Teacher Qin Lan, why are you here?" Li He asked.
"There is no drama for us on the first day, so come and take a look. This is incredible. I saw you, a talented actor!" Qin Lan praised.
"You said that, I blushed." Li He said, pretending to be embarrassed.
In fact, the cheeky Secretary Li will not blush at any compliment, and he is not really young.
"I saw that you acted very well just now. Compared with the young actors today, you are more than one level better. You must come to my house and let us communicate." Chen Daoming said.
It is not easy to get an invitation from Chen Daoming, especially for an actor as young as Li Hyuk.
"Okay, I will definitely go."
"I'll treat you to the best tea."
Qin Lan said from the side: "Oh, Teacher Chen, if people don't drink tea now, they all drink Gaofei. Do you understand Gaofei?"
"What is Lefei?" Li He didn't understand for a while.
"It's just coffee!"
Li He shrugged and said, "My hometown is in Dian Province, and I still like to drink tea."
Qin Lan's eyes lit up: "Do you have souchong coffee beans there?"
"Uh, it seems there is!" Li He wasn't sure, and the original owner didn't drink coffee.
"You go back to your hometown and pay attention, and bring some back to me later."
"Okay, let me pay attention..."
In this way, Li Hyuk's network of contacts expanded by two more, and he became a real social butterfly in the entertainment industry.
The next scene was in the afternoon and it was still early. Li Hyuk simply returned to the hotel and took a nap after lunch.
Back on the set, this scene was to film the scene where Hu Hai knew that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were revolting in Daze Township. Li He was full of confidence and prepared to follow Chen Daoming's example.
It is said that Chen Daoming only shoots one scene when he is filming, because it is done in one take. Li He asked Chen Daoming about this, but Chen Daoming said that it was a rumor. When he was in good condition, he might indeed have one scene, but more often he would need to shoot four or five times.
Even seven or eight times.
The year before last, when I was working on a play with another veteran actor, Wang Zhiwen, there was one scene where the two of them were dissatisfied with their performances and kept asking to do it over. Even the director thought it was OK, but the two actors just couldn't.
We had to reshoot it, and the final scene had to be shot more than 60 times before it was approved.
From this incident, we can see Chen Daoming's attitude towards excellence in acting. Only by learning from excellent people can he become better. Li He, who has always been good at learning, feels that Chen Daoming has this advantage that he needs to learn from.
But just when Li Hyuk was confident and confident, a line instantly choked him up.
On the set, an actor playing the role of a minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have revolted..."
