Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 28: Acting within Acting within Acting

In addition to filming, they also had to shoot various promotional materials that would be broadcast at that time. For one set of clothes, Xu Yien shot 6 promotional videos. After shooting the promotional videos, he went to the set to shoot today's scene.

"Hi, Teacher Xu!"

"Sister Zi~" Xu Yien walked over with a cheerful smile, shaking his head.

"Hello, hello." Yang Zi often plays tricks.

But Xu Yien also joined her in making jokes and waved.

"Hello~"

"Are you a parrot that only repeats one sentence?"

"You have to say you're good too!"

"Okay, okay, you too."

Holding the script that was full of annotations with words and drawings, he began to act with Yang Zi with a smile. This part was a true expression of Fang Fengbei's feelings.

Although there has been no direct confession.

But every word is filled with love.

Xiaoyao doesn’t know.

But the audience knows.

The explosiveness of the character Xiangliu is not comparable to that of Runyu who has no data and relies solely on bragging. An all-round explosive character cannot be boasted about casually.

Even on Bilibili, he is only slightly worse than Zhang Wanyi, and other platforms have him crushed in all aspects. The other three male protagonists combined cannot compare to this one character.

This is even after weakening the plot of Xiangliu in the original novel.

Fans of the original novel have done statistics, and this popularity is achieved even after more than 20 scenes from the original novel have been modified.

Don’t even mention why Tencent changed the show. Even Xu Yien couldn’t imagine how popular this character would be if the show had been filmed entirely according to the original novel without weakening the character.

Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the male lead and the second male lead?
"How much your heart aches, my heart aches as well~" Xu Yien said jokingly.

The actors rehearse their lines in advance and memorize them on the spot.

It's impossible to memorize so many at once.

After getting familiar with each other, Xu Yien will become much more cheerful. He is introverted because he is afraid of strangers, afraid of not getting along well with others, and afraid of making mistakes.

"Hahaha." Seeing Xu Yien's funny look, Yang Zi also said with a smile: "Get ready to start!"

"it is good."

The two of them had already rehearsed their scenes in a good position, and then separated again to return to the location where filming was about to begin.

Director Yang Huan gave the order, "3, 2, 1, start!"

Xu Yien, who was happy just now, immediately got into the mood. He first gave Yang Zi a close-up, with a heavy heart.

Fangfeng Bei came up from behind Xiaoyao and said, "Today is your brother's big day, and instead of going to congratulate him, you're hiding here sighing and groaning."

Xiaoyao turned around, looked at him who was drinking, and said, "How can you understand what I'm thinking?"

"Ha." After laughing, Fang Fengbei said, "Who else could it be besides Tu Shanjing?"

"I feel sad, can you feel it too?"

"If you are afraid that I will feel everything, then don't torture yourself. Don't feel sad, and I will feel better too." Fang Fengbei, who was originally looking at the ground and didn't know what he was thinking, raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes a little red.

Xiao Yao covered her chest, took two steps forward, and said coldly, "So, just because I felt uncomfortable here just now, you felt uncomfortable too? No wonder you deliberately manipulated the Gu to make me feel heartbroken. You have nine heads but only one heart. If I feel nine points of pain, you only feel one point. But if I feel the same pain in my heart, do you feel the same amount as I do?"

"Yes! My heart aches as much as yours."

Their eyes met, and Fang Fengbei was the first to look away, chuckling self-deprecatingly. "But so what?" He took a sip of his wine and asked, "Are you planning to use this against me?"

“Physical pain can hurt oneself, but whether it’s happiness or sadness in the heart, it cannot be faked, and even one cannot control it.”

There were some tears in Fangfengbei's eyes, but they had not yet formed.

"Don't be so upset in the future. If you cause me any more trouble, I might just decide to kill you and put an end to it all."

"It wasn't me who forced you to plant the Gu back then."

"I knew you were useless back then and that you would definitely get hurt often, but I didn't expect you to be so useless that you couldn't even protect your own heart."

Xiaoyao hesitated to speak.

Changing the subject, "Did you attend Jing Tushan Jing's wedding?"

"No matter how unruly I am, I still have to go to my younger sister's wedding with the Tushan tribe leader." Fang Fengbei stretched out his hand and said with a forced smile, "Come with me."

"Follow you?"

"Since you're not happy here anyway, why not let go of everything and go have some fun with me."

Seeing Xiaoyao hesitate, Fangfengbei tilted his head to look at her. Although he felt depressed, he still had a smile on his face: "Don't you dare?"

Putting his hand on her, Xiaoyao said, "What's there to be afraid of? Let's go!"

"Okay." Holding her hand, they left side by side.

Tu Shanjing, who was silently watching from a distance, felt a little uneasy.

"Crack!"

"very good!"

Xu Yien carefully considered this scene and captured the character's inner transformation and emotions just right.

From the very beginning, when Fang Fengbei appeared, he used the mouth of a playboy to say the most fake love words, which contained real feelings and a hint of the sadness of "resurrection from the dead". But now Fang Fengbei can no longer pretend.

The words he said were "Don't torture yourself", "I will feel better if you don't feel sad", "My heart aches as much as yours", "You can't even protect your own heart". Taken individually, they seem to be love words, but when put in the plot, it seems that every word is just talking about Gu.

People are like Beipi Liugu, and their words are also like Beipi Liugu, with double entendres.

The biggest difference between windproof and peeling windproof is: performance.

Fang Fengbei is purely acting, unrestrained and uninhibited, and his emotions are released very cheaply. He puts this cheapness on the surface as a disguise, and hides his true emotions very deep down. Even if they are dug out, people will doubt whether they are true or false.

This section has a bit of "Jia Lian". The emotions of "Mr. Lian" are buried under desire, while the skin-shedding Fang Fengbei has removed 7-8% of his acting part.

That cheap, flowing recklessness is gone, both the look and the eyes have been restrained, the range of expression has also become smaller, he is proud and self-contained, but he cannot resist the real heartache, some words can only be said in this way to persuade in a concealed manner.

The deep, calm and serious expression on his face is essentially Xiangliu's.

For Xu Yien, Xiangliu is an acting, Fangfengbei is an acting within an acting, and Diaopi Fangfengbei is an acting within an acting with proportion.

This part is equivalent to "Nirvana in Fire". Which part is Lin Shu's emotion and which part is Mei Changsu's emotion? This is a superimposed difficulty.

If other male protagonists were to play the role, even the drama star Zhang Wanyi would not be able to portray the same emotions as Xu Yien, because it is a different approach.

This is also to make the audience feel involved. Xiangliu and Fangfengbei are mixed in proportion, which makes the audience interested in finding out the proportion of this performance. This is a clever idea.

During this scene when Xiangliu was carefully revealing his true feelings, the girl was grieving for someone else. This advance and retreat just made the audience heartbroken.

Compared to Xu Yien's outstanding performance in this scene, Yang Zi's performance was somewhat disappointing.

I don’t know if it’s a problem with Yang Zi’s script, or if the emotions she gave were wrong, but from Fang Fengbei’s perspective, Xiao Yao was very cold and fierce. It felt like the emotional expressions she gave were wrong, making people feel uncomfortable.
