Chinese entertainment started with male models

Chapter 131: Eagle-eyed, wolf-like, gentleman-like, leopard-like

Before joining the crew of "Princess Agents", Bai Liang certainly did not forget his basic professional qualities.

Regardless of whether it was the script or the original work, he read it many times and studied it carefully.

Well, the original novel is somewhat pornographic.

The descriptions of the fights are very bloody, and even the heroine’s “first” “fight” is described in great detail.

Bai Liang read it over and over again, trying to understand its true meaning.

However, after reading the original novel and the adapted script, Bai Liang had some understanding of this type of script with a strong female lead.

Apart from those unimportant elements of "everyone loves the heroine", Bai Liang became extremely interested in the role of "Yan Xun" that he was going to play.

He felt that in the entire story, Yan Xun was the most well-rounded and angular character.

"Prince Yan Xun was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse. He was once the brightest young man in Chang'an City."

However, after the Emperor of Wei in Jiuyoutai persecuted his entire family, Yan Xun's character began to change step by step, and he eventually became an ambitious and ruthless emperor.

He was sent to Chang'an City as a hostage since he was a child, and has been living a carefree and free life.

He has good friends like Yu Wen Yue, a young master from a big family, and Prince Yuan Song. He has been favored by the princess since he was a child, and he himself is the son of Marquis Dingbei.

These internal advantages and resources make Yan Xun show a free and easy character when he appears on the stage, which is completely opposite to the deep character of the male protagonist.

However, Bai Liang simply skipped this part and did not put much effort into studying it.

Free and easy? Do you need to act this out?

The scene at Jiuyoutai is the climax of the whole drama. The Emperor of Wei, suspicious of Marquis Dingbei and with the instigation of treacherous ministers and the secret promotion of Liang State, framed Yan Xun and his family to death.

Yan Xun suffered an unprecedented blow when he identified the bodies on Jiuyou Terrace and watched the tragic deaths of his family members. Then his mother was hit and killed on Jiuyou Terrace, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

However, the Emperor of Wei's persecution was not over yet. On the surface, he pardoned him, but secretly he instructed the major families to assassinate him.

On the one hand, he had to be on guard against assassins day and night, and on the other hand, he had to secretly build up his own strength to escape from Chang'an City.

Three years of dormancy in Yingge Courtyard.

This character has undergone a huge transformation.

Good, good, good! Make a big rebellion! Bai Liang likes it so much!

He has long wanted to rebel!

The role of Emperor Liu Bian in "The Legend of Zhao Zilong" had been on Bai Liang's mind for a long time.

That's the emperor~
As a result, in the new year, as if to make up for his "regret", he received two roles in two dramas that were somewhat similar.

Yan Xun in "Princess Agents" is the King of Yanbei. He rebelled and massacred the city, transforming from a bright young man into a ruthless monarch.

The second male lead in "Three Lives Three Worlds" Donghua Emperor is a little bit worse. He is in charge of life and death in the six realms, and was once the co-lord of heaven and earth. His position is higher than that of the Emperor of Heaven. This makes Bai Liang feel that it is too empty.

In fact, what he most wants to play is an emperor with a name and deeds in history.

But these two combined can satisfy your craving.

Oh yes, the role of Emperor Donghua was not originally the second male lead, but Jiaxing’s main purpose was to make Bai Liang and Dilraba a second pair.

Does Reba's Bai Fengjiu like Emperor Donghua?
So I added a little bit of scenes and then promised: this role will be ranked as the second male lead.
-
I don’t know if the director did it on purpose or if he was also displeased with Bai Liang, but in the first scene of the first day of filming, he arranged a scene that reflects Yan Xun’s change of mentality for Bai Liang to challenge.

This arrangement is obviously a bit unreasonable. Normally, when a crew first starts filming, they usually have to find a simpler scene to shoot in order to get a good start, and it would be best if they can get it right in one go.

But this time he did the opposite and picked a very difficult one.

The one who challenged this thing was Bai Liang, a newbie who came from a wild background~
It's no secret that he's only been in the industry for a year, and basically everyone knows it.

Even Zhao Liying, who seemed to have some opinions about Bai Liang, asked about it and mentioned it to the director.

That's a bit inappropriate.

Does this put so much pressure on people right from the start?
Director Wu Jingyuan said: "I heard an old friend praise this guy, saying that he was born to be an actor, so I wanted to see if he is really that talented."

Zhao Liying: Is this true or false?

She was skeptical. On the one hand, she felt that there was no need for the director to fool her about this, even though Bai Liang might be a resourceful person.

After all, what's the point of telling a lie that will be exposed at the slightest touch?

But this statement is too exaggerated. Is it God who feeds us?

The last actor who was described like this won all the awards! These popular and popular actresses dare not touch her.

Oh yes, that person also came from a wild background.

It’s as if some actors who are particularly talented in acting have not been “contaminated” by the academic school.

Zhao Liying: I am not a graduate of an academic school.
As for the so-called pressure, Wu Jingyuan said that his old friend also said that this kid doesn't take any pressure, just tell him directly what effect you need him to perform.

To be honest, most directors like contestants who can understand "human language".

If you meet the King of Sunglasses, I guess they will torture each other.

As we all know, the King of Sunglasses plays with the stream of consciousness when filming, and he is trying to "hypnotize" you.

But Bai Liang doesn't actually need this kind of method to get into the role and gain understanding. The clearer the director explains, the more accurate his performance feedback will be.

If the director's skills are not good enough and he can't explain it clearly, then our Bai Daxian can just do whatever he wants.

In short, you can use it right away, and everyone who uses it says it’s good!

It can fill up the roles of young ladies and satisfy all the directors.

Bai Liang himself would of course not have much reaction to what the crew arranged to shoot.

Just shoot whatever you want~
I just made some "small suggestions" when putting on makeup, "It doesn't have to be so heavy, right?"

"Teacher Bai, a slightly smoky makeup can better show the dark side of the character." The makeup lady said the original words arranged by the director.

If acting skills are not good enough, makeup can be used to make up for it. This is a common practice in the film and television industry.

Some makeup looks just naturally have a certain sense of déjà vu.

Even the audience can tell through this thing, oh ~ this guy's clothes have become darker, he's putting on smoky makeup, he's going to become evil!
But Bai Liang obviously didn't need it.

I didn't make things difficult for the makeup artist and directly gave the director my feedback.

Director Wu Jingyuan: Okay! Let him decide for himself.

Anyway, it has just started filming, and he is very curious whether it is as amazing as Lin Yufen, Yuan Yinming and Jiang Jiajun say.

Directors also have their own circles, and when they meet some particularly useful actors, they will of course communicate with each other.

It is just a coincidence that the directors of the films that Bai Liang has filmed in the past year since he entered the industry are basically from Hong Kong.

In other words, in the current field of domestic TV drama directors, these Hong Kong directors still have a large market.

Everyone comes to the mainland to develop, so there must be exchanges between each other and there are also small groups.

So even though Wu Jingyuan had never had any communication with Bai Liang before, and had only briefly discussed the script when they decided on the role, he still "knew" Bai Liang very well.

There are "good" feedbacks from colleagues!

Someone even directly reminded him of Bai Liang's other role: to use this kid as a catfish.

It took the lead and put a lot of pressure on other actors in the crew!

Therefore, this first scene was not meant to put pressure on Bai Liang as others saw it, and Wu Jingyuan did not want to make things difficult for him.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to his request to change his makeup.

However, all this is based on the premise that Bai Liang is indeed capable. If he poops today, he will really poop a big thing in public.

The purpose can be changed directly to killing a chicken to scare the monkey! To establish the director's prestige.

In a crew with big names, even the director cannot have the final say on many matters, even though the domestic film and television industry is director-centered.

So, Wu Jingyuan looked at the on-site arrangements of the crew and said in his heart: Boy, you better stand up!
"Watching the immortal filming~"

Wang Yanlin and others were waiting to watch the fun with smiles on their faces, each of them looking quite relaxed.

Li Xin, who had done his makeup in advance, looked at these people with a lot of questions in his mind: "The first scene is very difficult, can he handle it?"

"I suggest you prepare yourself mentally. I'm afraid you can't stand up to the Immortal."

What he said sounded like he was driving a car. Li Xin glared at these stinky men in annoyance.

She has been in the industry for so many years and acted in so many dramas, how could she not be able to hold on?

And she thinks the role of Yuan Chun is perfect for her!
From her makeup to her miserable character, she looks just like that.

Although he didn't want to admit that he looked a bit miserable, Li Xin was still very satisfied with his role.

It's a pity that she's only the second female lead.

The specific time point of this scene is before the wedding of Yan Xun and Yuan Chun.

The drama is simple in terms of lines and duration. Yuan Chun, played by Li Xin, is looking forward to her upcoming wedding with great joy, while Yan Xun is already preparing for a rebellion.

When Bai Liang came out from the dressing stand after changing his clothes, although the other people at the scene did not gasp in shock, they could not help but praise him in their hearts: What a good young man!
He was dressed in white, with raised eyebrows and a look of great satisfaction.

Except for the triple snow on the body of the king, who in the world is equipped with white clothes.

Why can costume dramas bring out a bunch of “ugly men in the domestic entertainment industry”?

Among all types of dramas, ancient costume dramas have the highest requirements for actors' appearance.

Being handsome doesn't necessarily mean you can act handsomely, but if you are a little ugly, your flaws will be easily exposed.

Fortunately, Bai Liang can handle it~
Even though Yan Xun's hairstyle actually has a bit of grassland style, it still makes his appearance look good. Before he gets on the horse, he looks like a nobleman.

Wrong~
Bai Liang suddenly felt that he shouldn't be like this and he had to get into the role quickly.

Some adjustments. Add a little melancholy, a little decadence, and a little forbearance and it's all done.

As a result, the young man who was so high-spirited just now disappeared.

Wu Jingyuan: Great! I want this feeling of being able to bring a new life to life.

Even though the filming hasn't started yet, Bai Liang's performance has made him believe the nonsense of other directors.

Zhao Liying, who was standing next to him, had round eyes to begin with, and now they widened even wider.

This boy is a bit weird!
There was a lot of preparation before filming, but when the shooting started, there were actually only a few lines in total.

Most of the words were spoken by Yuan Chun, played by Li Xin.

Yan Xun, played by Bai Liang, had a seemingly gentle smile on his face and agreed with her. Behind him, Chu Qiao, played by Zhao Liying, served as a background.

After he turned around, the camera on the scene directly pushed a close-up to Bai Liang's face.

Pay special attention to the changes in eyes.

With a slow turn around, several shots are locked firmly.

Those gentle almond-shaped eyes seemed to change color in an instant.

The eyes of an eagle are like those of a wolf, and the changes of a gentleman are like those of a leopard.

A bright young man from Chang'an City embarked on the road of revenge against an ambitious man.
