Cao Xuan filmed the early scenes of Luo Yang for about 10 days, of which he was beaten for 8 days.
After being slapped and kicked, it was finally time to rise...
Luo Yang was humiliated many times by Song Laosi, and was finally driven to panic. He got a pistol from his friend and prepared to fight Song Laosi.
After all, he was an ordinary person. Even if he was forced to panic, he would never think of killing Song Laosi directly.
He just planned to warn the other party and let Song Laosi know that he was not a fool. If he bullied him again, he would be prepared to fight to the death.
some bar
Cao Xuan, who had put on makeup, was studying with a prop gun at the side, making a few gestures from time to time.
The character Luo Yang is the number one killer in Jiangzhou in the later stages of the plot, and there are many gun scenes in the drama.
In order to play this killer well, Cao Xuan specially asked the crew for a prop gun. After finishing work every night, he practiced drawing and holding the gun in the hotel room.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan had a good teacher. His bodyguard Zhu Jiang played with guns a lot in the army and also had a few tricks up his sleeve.
With Zhu Jiang's help, Cao Xuan now practices drawing his gun hundreds of times a day. Although he can't compare with those who have been training for months, his speed is still very fast, and his execution is also very bluffing.
Even actors like Wang Zhiwen and Duan Long who were involved in gun scenes came to Cao Xuan for advice. When they had nothing to do, they competed with each other to see who could draw a gun faster.
After a while, director Zhang Jiandong signaled to start the camera.
One of Song Laosi's younger brothers was sitting in a booth playing, and a pistol was put to his head.
The camera panned from bottom to top, revealing Cao Xuan's cold and slightly crazy face.
"Where is Song Tao (Song Laosi)?"
The younger brother was startled at first, but when he turned around and saw that Luo Yang was holding the gun and was used to being bullied by them, he felt courageous again.
"Boy, what do you want to do?"
Cao Xuan steadily raised the gun, pointed it at his younger brother's head, and replied coldly: "Tell me where Song Tao went."
"Brother, if you have anything to discuss, don't mess around."
"Easily discussed?"
Cao Xuan was angered by these words, and all the past humiliations came to mind: "When did you discuss this with me? Stop talking nonsense. I'll ask you one last time, where is Song Tao."
The younger brother still wanted to delay time and tried to grab the gun. Cao Xuan kicked the younger brother aside and pointed the hand holding the gun at the younger brother's leg.
bang, bang
The blood bag on the younger brother's leg exploded, and he fell to the ground screaming in pain. The other guests in the bar screamed in fright. Cao Xuan fired a shot into the sky without hesitation and roared.
"Shut the f*ck up."
The guests played by the extras calmed down. Cao Xuan looked at his younger brother, gritted his molar teeth and said harshly: "Go back and tell Song Tao not to bully others anymore."
"Card."
Cao Xuan helped up the younger extra who he had kicked just now, apologized, and then walked to the side of director Zhang Jiandong.
"How's it going, Director Zhang?"
Zhang Jiandong watched the replay and did not reply. Instead, he called Li Youbin who was also at the scene: "Old Li, what do you think?"
Li Youbin has been giving Cao Xuan a lot of advice these days, and he was not polite when he saw this. He watched the replay and pointed out the problem directly.
"Xiao Cao acted too steadily in this scene. The first few scenes were okay, but later on Luo Yang showed that he was too mature. This scene was the first time Luo Yang resisted. His emotions should be more exposed."
"What you mean, I should express it more strongly."
"That's right, you can even sound a bit harsh at the front. After all, Luo Yang is an ordinary person. It is inevitable that he will be a little nervous when he uses a gun for the first time."
"Do you think this will work? At first, Luo Yang was nervous and a little desperate.
After he was provoked and fired, he realized that those who bullied him could also be defeated by him. He lost his nervousness, found his self-confidence, and then said harsh words to Song Laosi."
Cao Xuan combined some of Li Youbin's opinions and once again put forward his own idea, which was approved by Zhang Jiandong.
"This is good. It can reflect the transformation of the character. Just shoot it like this."
The extras went to change clothes, and Cao Xuan thought about it for a while. Based on the character analysis just now, he performed it again, and the effect was much better than before.
"Not to mention, this guy is really talented. He knows everything at once."
Li Youbin touched Da Bei's head and said a mantra of Captain Li Da. Director Zhang Jiandong was pleased.
Listen to instructions, be spiritual, know how to be a good person, be willing to endure hardship, be motivated and love learning, and be willing to accept other people's opinions.
It's not Zhang Jiandong's fault, but Cao Xuan is indeed the most comfortable young celebrity he has ever worked with. You can even remove the word "young".
Compared with Cao Xuan, Wang Zhiwen can be regarded as "a headache".
However, this is understandable.
Lao Wang has been in the industry for many years and has his own understanding of how to perform.
This kind of understanding may conflict with the director's requirements. When opinions differ, it is likely that a heated discussion will be required before one party finally makes a concession.
However, Cao Xuan still has little acting experience and is actively absorbing nutrients from the outside world. He has not reached the maturity stage of his acting skills and his cognitive level of performance is slightly weak, so he will pay more attention to listening to the opinions of other seniors directed by the director.
If one day in the future, Cao Xuan slowly explores an acting path of his own.
At that time, he would probably have changed from his current "good baby" image, insisted on his own acting style, and argued with the director.
This is also the only path for every mature professional actor. It is difficult for an actor without his own ideas to achieve anything.
Of course, this is a useful and constructive idea for the character.
This does not include those who think nonsense and talk plausibly...
………
After filming this part, Cao Xuan filmed another scene where he and Da Hei Niu find trouble for another Song Laosi's subordinate.
The first boy was shot twice and his leg was disabled, and the second boy was also shot in the arm. Luo Yang's fierceness instantly became famous throughout Jiangzhou.
Faced with Luo Yang, who was obviously a desperado, Song Laosi also gave up. He was a good boss and could not afford to go head-to-head with someone like Luo Yang who was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
So Song Laosi went to Luo Yang and negotiated with him. The two sides stopped and made peace, so that the water in the well would not infringe upon the river in the future.
On the other hand, the villain Zhou Shiwan, played by Li Youbin, encountered a little trouble in his business and planned to find a stranger to deal with it.
The thug Zhou Weidong played by Duan Long recommended Luo Yang to him, and Zhou Shiwan came forward to recruit Luo Yang.
Nearly half a month after joining the group, Cao Xuan finally acted opposite Li Youbin...
office scene
Li Youbin wears a gray and white suit, has a slicked back hair, is handsome and calm, and looks like a big shot in every move.
When Cao Xuan saw his appearance, he realized that Captain Li's words of "a handsome young man famous from all over the country" were not groundless.
The crew started filming. Cao Xuan, Duan Long and another subordinate performed a cutscene to set the stage. Li Youbin appeared on the stage and with just a few steps, he attracted everyone's focus to himself.
When they sat on the sofa to recruit, the boss let go of his momentum and took direct control of the situation. Cao Xuan and others could only follow his lead.
Although Li Youbin had the bonus of plot and character identity in this part of the play, Cao Xuan also realized the gap between himself and top actors.
Once Li Youbin gets all fired up, he can't even think about having a face-to-face show for the time being.
Being able to catch the scene, not being directly crushed, and occasionally giving feedback is the level that Cao Xuan can currently achieve.
The gap is still quite big, but Cao Xuan is not discouraged.
Compared with two years ago, he has made rapid progress. When he first played Ximen Qing, he was completely supported by Mrs. Li Mingqi. Now he can catch Li Youbin's scenes on his own, and interact with each other to a small extent.
You know, apart from those MVs, Cao Xuan only played three official roles in total.
After filming three movies, Cao Xuan has made great or small progress each time, which is already rare for a young actor.
In the actor industry, except for a few masters who stuff their mouths with food, most people have acted a lot, and practice makes perfect.
Including those top actors, many of them performed in a mess when they debuted, but they were forced to be fed one drama after another.
Of course, their own talent and willingness to work hard are also key, otherwise no matter how many performances they perform, they will not achieve success.
Cao Xuan is talented, willing to study hard, and is still very young. He believes that as long as he improves bit by bit, he will eventually become a true [actor]...
