Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 71 Can I Cry?

……

……

"Brother, feel free to look if you want, don't be shy."

Lu Yang sat in front of the monitor, and after learning of Gu Qing's request, he enthusiastically asked his assistant to bring over a stool.

"Brother Lu, I just wanted to see how Second Brother acts, and take the opportunity to learn some experience."

Gu Qing thanked her assistant and took the chair to sit down.

"Brother, you've got the right mindset. Acting skills are an artist's livelihood. Once you learn them, you can succeed anywhere."

Lu Yang gave him a thumbs-up in appreciation.

The first scene

Most film crews, for the sake of good luck, are willing to let the performance pass without needing retakes, as long as it's not too bad.

Next,
The main event was Shen Lian's mission to the Chen residence to apprehend the eunuch faction.

"Brother, do you know Xu Xianchun?"

The staff were setting up the equipment. Lu Yang, having nothing to do, asked Gu Qing a question with a smug look on his face.

He clearly wanted to show off his literary skills.

"I know."

"Don't know? Let me tell you..."

Lu Yang turned his head in surprise, "You knew?!"

"know."

Gu Qing gave him a strange look and said, "Xu Xianchun was a military scholar in the late Ming Dynasty. He was the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and once served under Wei Zhongxian, killing many leaders of the Donglin Party."

"From the perspective of that time, this person was definitely a traitor, but if we delve into the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party certainly contributed to it, so his killing was not unjust."

Lu Yang: "..."

Are you a history professor, or is my dad?
His script was naturally reviewed by his father, who also helped revise a small part of it.

Lu Yang himself learned this knowledge point from hearsay.

"Brother, come visit me sometime, my dad will definitely like you."

Lu Yang was deeply affected and focused on acting.

This scene primarily highlights Shen Lian's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.
In order to force Lord Chen to reveal Xu Xianchun's whereabouts, they did not hesitate to threaten him with his young daughter.

The performance went smoothly so far.
But when it came to the unknown actress playing the daughter, Lu Yang repeatedly called "cut".

"Can you cry a little more naturally?"

"I told you to cry, not to scream!"

"Do you understand crying? No, it's not 'ahhh,' it's 'waaaaah!'"

"Damn it!!"

At first, Lu Yang was relatively calm, considering that Gu Qing was still by his side.

But later, he could no longer tolerate it.
He yelled at the child actor, "I'm giving you one last chance. If you don't perform well, get the hell out of here!!"

Not to mention,
After the tirade, the actress playing the daughter seemed quite frightened.

She sobbed and trembled all over, fully expressing the emotions of being threatened by Shen Lian to be sold into the brothel.

"Ka, this one passed."

Lu Yang's expression finally improved a bit. "Little brother, don't think I have a bad temper. You'll understand when you become a director someday."

"I've never seen a director who can resist scolding an actor. Even if they don't say it, they'll curse his ancestors in their hearts."

"Brother Lu, I understand what you mean."

Gu Qing handed the extra water glass to Lu Yang, "Calm down first, or you'll end up cursing my ancestors too."

He recalled director Lin Yufen from the previous film, who had also been driven to the brink of collapse by the actors and had been much harsher than Lu Yang.

"Brother, how could I dare to scold you?"

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh, then quickly offered an embarrassed explanation.

Once you pass the threshold of being an extra, the filming process goes much more smoothly.

Zhang Zhenghe's fight scene with a guest martial arts choreographer was successfully filmed in just three takes.

When Master Chen pointed tremblingly to the side room on the west gate tower, this scene ended.

Next, it was Gu Qing's turn to appear.

He carried a pair of mandarin duck daggers, sheathed them, and wore them at his waist. He stood under the lanterns in the alley, where the makeup artist made the final adjustments.

at the same time,

Shen Lian led a large group of his men to the side room. After breaking down the door, they found it empty except for the broken window.

He leaped down, his perspective abruptly shifting to focus on the figure's back, entering a narrow, dilapidated alleyway.

It creates a striking visual contrast with the previously exquisite pavilions.

Shen Lian beckoned, and his two subordinates quickened their pace, took a horse stance, and came to the foot of the low wall.

With the help of his palms, he leaped up onto the wall, where he had a wide field of vision and saw Xu Xianchun and the other two fleeing ahead.

He drew his crossbow from his waist and fired a signal arrow into the sky.

"Hurry, hurry!" Xu Xianchun led his men in a panicked escape, turning left and right until they arrived at an alleyway.

His hasty retreat suddenly came to a halt.

The lanterns swayed in the wind.

At the end of the bluestone alley, Gu Qing, dressed in a dark flying fish robe, had his dark robe edged with gold by the light and shadow. He twirled his knife with one hand, creating a chilling silver flower.

A glint of light from the blade flashed across his brow, and his eyes held a playful, cat-and-mouse glint in them. "It's finally here."

With the pursuers' torches closing in from behind, Xu Xianchun gritted his teeth and roared, "Kill him!"

"Sir, you go first!"

Two dark figures suddenly sprang up.

The burly man on the left slashed down with his knife, but Gu Qing spun around and shifted his stance. With a deft flick of his wrist, the tip of his knife sliced ​​across the man's throat like a venomous snake.

The burly man on the right had his long sword at his back, but the boy seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. His mandarin duck short sword flew out of his hand and spun around. With a flash of cold light, it severed the man's wrist holding the weapon at the root.

The scream had barely begun when the mandarin duck daggers pierced his heart, pinning him to the ground.

"Okay, give it a close-up!!"

Lu Yang excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie.

The camera zooms in on slow motion: drops of blood roll down the blade and splatter onto the boy's thick eyelashes.

After killing the person,
Gu Qingman casually lifted her eyelids, watching Xu Xianchun's fleeing figure, a smirk playing on her lips, revealing the sinister aura of a bandit.

"Uncle Sang, my brother is really handsome!"

Lu Yang was in high spirits.

"His movements are quite skillful, his fighting style is fluid and graceful, and he grasps the concepts quickly; he's a promising talent."

Sang Lin nodded.

The two are not on the same wavelength, yet they share the same meaning.

……

In a panic, Xu Xianchun finally escaped from the secluded alley.

But he was met with a row of crossbows.

Lu Jianxing's expression was indifferent. He crossed his hands, gripped the scabbard, and stared at the prey that had fallen into the net.

"Big brother."

Gu Qing sheathed his knife and walked over, his smile sunny and clean, like a younger brother next door, showing none of the cruelty and violence he had displayed when he killed people.

Upon seeing his third brother, a hint of warmth flickered in Lu Jianxing's cold eyes. He patted his shoulder to show he had worked hard.

"Lu Jianxing, you're using this to settle personal scores!"

"You're resenting me for not filling the vacancy of a hundred households for you!"

After being arrested, Xu Xianchun completely lost control of his emotions, becoming hysterical and begging for mercy in a servile manner.

"Lu Jianxing, let me go! If you let me go, I'll make sure you become a centurion!"

Becoming a hundred households and filling in for his deceased father's official position to bring glory to his ancestors was Lu Jianxing's lifelong wish.

However, the officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty was corrupt, and without money to bribe officials, Lu Jianxing had no chance of being promoted.

At this time,

A pair of iron-like hands pinched Xu Xianchun's wide-open mouth, forcefully pried it open, and had his men drag him away.

"Second brother."

Gu Qingxin greeted her with delight.

"Ikawa."

Shen Lian smiled slightly and patted his shoulder.

The three brothers made a collective appearance.

After that,

The eldest brother escorted Xu Xianchun away.

"Second Brother..."

Gu Qing called out to Shen Lian, feeling ashamed, "I'm... short on cash lately..."

Shen Lian had anticipated this. He took out ten taels of silver from his belt, poured it into Gu Qing's hand, and said earnestly, "Yi Chuan, this can't go on forever."

finished,

He patted Gu Qing on the shoulder again and strode away.

"Second brother...you know?"

Gu Qing's expression froze, his eyes filled with annoyance and panic. The ten taels of silver felt like a hot potato, causing his fingers to twitch slightly.

"Crack!"

"Great performance, one take!"
