It didn’t take too long to modify the MV script. Anita Mui had already written most of it in advance, and it was completed in half a day.

On the second day of filming, Anita Mui directed the film herself, while Ning Hao assisted her.

Ning Hao had no objection. It was such a great thing that he could make money easily.

"You are amazing. I have worked with many new actors, and their acting skills are not as natural as yours. You have a pair of eyes that can speak, a bit like Ah Wei." Shen Lang made Mei Yanfang look at him with new eyes again.

Ah Wei is Liang Chaowei.

Wang Jiawei once said: "Liang Chaowei can act without using his mouth, just relying on his eyes."

Eyes play an extremely important role for actors. They are not only a window for actors to express their emotions and convey the inner world of the characters, but also an important manifestation of acting skills.

Actually, Shen Lang’s acting skills are not that amazing, but just right.

This is just right, giving people a very comfortable and very real feeling.

The memories of two lives gave him rich life experience, coupled with his own sensitivity in observing life, he connected these experiences and observations with his own role during the performance, and this effect was achieved.

However, good acting skills did not bring efficiency, and the MV took three full days to complete.

The time has come on January 2st.

The last one, Wang Jingfei, didn't wait because she was filming the TV series "Fake It Comes True" in Japan at the time and couldn't spare the time to come back.

This drama only has 11 episodes, and her part can be finished in a month or so, so Shen Lang did not go to Japan.

Mainly because time does not permit.

He returned to Yanjing, took a day off, and attended the opening ceremony of "Love Across Time and Space" on March 3st.

Huairou, Feiteng Film and Television Base.

More than 100 TV series and films have been filmed here, including "Dream of Red Mansions", "My Fair Princess", "The Grand Cicada Gate", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", "The Secret Visits of Kangxi", and "The World's Granary". It is the largest film and television location and post-production base in the north.

In a makeup car.

It has been more than an hour and the makeup artist is still putting a hood on Shen Lang.

Because this is a technical job, actors in period costumes have to work one or two hours longer than actors in modern costumes, and most of the time they are working on the headgear.

"Let me glue the front of the hood down a little bit so it can protect your hairline."

The makeup artist couldn't bear to see such a handsome guy become bald.

Wearing a wig requires glue, a lot of glue, which will definitely damage the scalp.

In order to make their heads less itchy, some actors like to stick the front of their headpieces higher. Then, as they shoot more costume dramas, they stick on more headpieces, and as a result, their hairlines get higher and higher, and their foreheads get bigger and bigger.

"Thank you, Sister Wu."

Hair is a man’s second face.

Being bald means disfigurement, and Shen Lang doesn't want that.

Makeup artists are professionals and they definitely understand the crooked ways of using cosmetics and wigs. If you build a good relationship with them, you can at least suffer less losses.

"You're welcome. I'm your fan and I'll definitely take good care of you with your makeup."

"Sister Wu, if you do this, I will give you a signed album."

"Well, you said that yourself."

Finally, with Sister Wu's careful help, Shen Lang put on the wig.

Look at yourself in the mirror.

It really looks a bit like the ancients.

When I got out of the makeup car, I saw Gao Yuanyuan sitting outside with a small stool.

She had done her hair half an hour ago.

Because her hair has grown a lot longer, she doesn't need to wear a big wig. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty drama is not a Qing Dynasty drama, so there is no need for such a fancy hairstyle. She just put her hair in a simple bun.

Even so, she still looks pretty and full of energy.

This image is highly consistent with the Xianxian in the play.

"You're really slow. Let me see what you look like after more than an hour." Gao Yuanyuan stood up, looked at Shen Lang, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, it looks quite decent, a bit like the emperor's grandson."

"My beloved, please sleep with me." Shen Lang said in a pretentious manner with one hand behind his back.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. If he doesn't look like the actor after putting on this outfit, he won't have any need to act.

"The tone is not good, it sounds very old-fashioned." Gao Yuanyuan complained.

"Xianxian..." Shen Lang put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's take a rest."

"Your character is wrong. You are the grandson of the emperor, not a gangster." Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him. "It's so difficult! It doesn't matter if you don't want to be the grandson of the emperor!" Shen Lang said in an unrighteous manner.

After playing around for a while, the two went to the set.

Director Li Xiuming is from Hong Kong.

He has participated in directing classic TV series such as the 83 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Story of Qianlong", and the 97 version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

This is my second collaboration with Zhouyi Film and Television. We have just finished filming their other drama "Wulin Waishi".

The opening ceremony is characterized by worshipping gods.

All the leading actors were present.

Wan Hongjie, Liu Lili, Sun Baoguang, Shi Ke, Li Qian, Zhang Yakun...

The cast of this drama is not luxurious at all.

The most famous one at the moment is Shen Lang.

And it is fame in the music industry, not fame in the entertainment industry.

Whether a play can become popular.

In the future, people may look at whether the actor is handsome, whether the actress is pretty, whether there are topics, and whether there is traffic.

But today, when the film and television industry is not so developed, the factors that determine whether a play can be popular are mainly whether the play can bring joy to the public and whether the actors can resonate with everyone.

That is the preparation and performance of the entire play.

The crew of "Love Across Time and Space" has no shortage of this.

After completing the process, start shooting.

The director and assistant director each lead a group and work at the same time.

Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan were with the director. There were quite a lot of people in their group, including Sun Baoguang, Shi Ke, Li Qian and others.

Wan Hongjie and Liu Lili were in the same group with the assistant director. Their characters, Zhu Di and Zhang Chuchu, had the second most scenes.

"Camera ready!"

"Lights in place!"

"The receiver is ready!"

The director nodded, and the script supervisor clapperboarded: "First scene, first shot, action!"

The first scene of this drama is Gao Yuanyuan making roast duck.

In the play, roast duck is not a small role.

Relying on her unique skill of stewing roast duck in a braised oven, Xianxian became the master of the second prince Zhu Chong and opened a roast duck restaurant. Even Zhu Yuanzhang frequently visited the restaurant and wrote the words "The Best Duck in the World" in his own handwriting as the restaurant's signboard.

Gao Yuanyuan is not a person who has never done housework. Although she only knows a few simple home-cooked dishes, at least she knows how to cook.

Then when performing this kind of plot, there will be no outrageous operations that will make the audience feel fake at first glance.

But I still had a lot of NGs.

Gao Yuanyuan’s problems focused on her lines and state.

Xianxian is a complex and multifaceted character.

She is a little greedy and selfish, and she deceives and takes advantage of the male protagonist in various ways, but she is real and full of flesh and blood.

Gao Yuanyuan has never played a role with this kind of personality.

It's normal to have problems.

At present, there are two types of most popular heroines in domestic dramas. One is the kind-hearted white lotus type, and the other is the energetic and playful type.

Judging from the trend, the latter is more popular.

But it is not easy to show a lively personality.

The richness of inner thoughts and expressions is a great test of acting skills.

Only actors who can control anger, joy, shyness, sadness, irritation, and coquettishness well and exude spiritual aura can please the audience.

There are many negative examples of "quirky" actors, such as Yu Shuxin, Ju Jingyi, Yang Tianbao, etc. Apart from acting deliberately, they just pretend to be young and make faces, which is so artificial.

At this time, the role of the director is reflected.

Li Xiuming personally demonstrated and instructed Gao Yuanyuan on how to perform.

Gao Yuanyuan’s plasticity is still acceptable. After half a day, she began to feel like a fairy or a quirky little creature.
