I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 10 Filming Wrapped

Under Cheng Sheng's direction, war scenes involving thousands, even tens of thousands of people were filmed very smoothly.

This shocked Zhang Yang and the others who came with Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng was directing for the first time, but his ability to control the scene was terrifying!
You should know that even if Zhang Guoshi (a famous Chinese screenwriter) were to come and do this kind of scene, he might not be able to do it as well as Cheng Sheng.

Adding to the previous few days, Cheng Sheng's ability to film dramatic scenes had truly amazed everyone. Whether it was the crew members or the students from the Central Academy of Drama who came to intern on set, they all admired Cheng Sheng immensely.

With such directing skills, it's no wonder he dared to attract a hundred million yuan investment to make a movie.

If they had Cheng Sheng's abilities, they would dare to do the same.

People with ability will be respected everywhere.

The onlookers were not only shocked by Cheng Sheng's abilities, but also by the actors' performances on camera.

Some students who were considered newcomers by them were actually just as good at acting as actors who had been in the film crew for years.

Yang Chao even privately muttered to Cheng Sheng, "Cheng Sheng, are these still students from our Central Academy of Drama? Although I'm not a teacher in the acting department, these students' acting skills are already good enough to graduate."

"And Zheng Guolin, I've seen his shows before! His acting isn't this good. And Zeng Li, although she has some acting skills, she's not at this level. If she had this level of acting in her previous dramas, she would have won Best Actress long ago."

It's no wonder Yang Chao said that; if someone who knew these people well were to see this, they would be utterly shocked.

Improving acting skills takes time and effort.

The more familiar you are with them, the more incredible they will find it.

In fact, not only were outsiders shocked, but even the performers themselves found it unbelievable.

After Zeng Li finished filming a scene and saw the results, she returned to the dressing room, faced the mirror, and was completely bewildered.

Is this her?

Why didn't I realize how much my acting skills had improved?
There was no trace of acting at all; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her Empress Xiao.

Moreover, she always felt that once she was on set, she was like a character in the story.

Zeng Li wasn't the only one who felt this way; Fu Dalong, Zheng Guolin, Su Chang, Zhang Xinyi, and Bai Baihe, who played Pingyang Zhao, felt the same way.

It felt like there was no difficulty in performing it. In a dreamlike state, the performance was completed in no time, without even a shout of encouragement.

NGs are a normal occurrence in filming!

There wasn't a single mistake; it looked almost magical.

Cheng Sheng didn't care about the shock or what the others thought; he was focused on finishing the movie as soon as possible.

Three months passed quickly.

Cheng Sheng shut himself in to make the film, and the entire crew, under Cheng Sheng's relentless demands, spent every moment on set.

Inside the palace.

Fu Dalong, living a life of debauchery, held a wine jug in one hand and waved his sleeve with the other, shouting, "What a fine head! Who will take it?"

Fu Dalong's face was full of dejection, and his eyes revealed...

Cheng Sheng reminded the photographer, "Shoot a close-up."

The photographer quickly zoomed in and filmed Fu Dalong's face for ten seconds, capturing his expression on camera.

Wei Zongwan, who plays Yuwen Huaji, entered with soldiers and demanded, "Yang Guang, you tyrant..."

Yang Guang, who was always arrogant and domineering, did not beg for mercy. He seemed to have expected this day to come sooner or later.

Despite this, Yang Guang remained as arrogant and domineering as ever, shouting, "An emperor should die a death according to the laws of the land. He cannot be killed with a knife or sword. Bring me the poison!"

Yuwen Huaji, who was already certain of victory, said to Yang Guang in the manner of a victor, "You're about to die, why are you still so particular?"

Knowing he was powerless to reverse the situation, Yang Guang, holding a three-foot-long white silk ribbon, slowly walked to the dragon throne, pointed to the area above the imperial desk, and said sorrowfully, "This place is excellent. Hanging me here, anyone entering through the door or peeping through the window will feel a sense of grandeur and awe upon gazing at the vast sky!"

As Yang Guang's life was about to come to an end, his face was filled with helplessness, resentment, and disappointment, as if he had died before fulfilling his great ambitions.

He stood on the imperial desk, slowly pulling his head under the white silk, gazing into the distance with deep, empty eyes, and murmuring his final poem: "The setting sun is about to fall, a single glance is heartbreaking."

The tyrannical and debauched Emperor Yang Guang has come to an end, but the court officials have mixed feelings, some rejoicing at the tyrant's passing, others worrying about their future. Fu Dalong's portrayal of Yang Guang is truly superb.

A single word, a single expression, and the majesty of an emperor.

Until Yang Guang died, everyone looked at Cheng Sheng, including the photographer.

"Pass."

"Roar……"

"awesome."

"Professor Long from Fudan University, you are simply my idol."

"General Manager Wei, you've brought Yuwen Huaji to life so well."

The crowd around couldn't help but shout out; they were so excited at that moment, it was simply a textbook performance.

Their acting was fucking amazing; it got them all completely into character.

If this movie were to enter the awards, and Fu Dalong didn't win Best Actor, those film festivals would have to shut down.

"it is finally over."

Fu Dalong exhaled. This scene had shaken him to his core, and at that moment he felt like he was really dead.

All the scenes in Hengdian have been filmed, including the war scenes. The remaining scenes are almost all indoor shots, so we can film them back in Beijing.

Cheng Sheng called out to everyone, "Clean up the set. We'll have dinner together tonight, and then we'll all go home together tomorrow."

"it is good……"

After more than three months, filming finally wrapped up, and everyone cheered.

"Now that we're back at school, we'll have something to brag about."

"Yes! No one in the entire crew was a drag on. It was basically all done in one take, with very few reshoots. It's almost unbelievable."

"You know, you don't see this in other film crews."

"The entire cast delivered outstanding performances! Especially the main actors, such as Fu Dalong, Zheng Guolin, and Zeng Li, their acting was simply superb."

"Filming a movie directed by Cheng Sheng is definitely a magical experience."

night.

The crew had a dinner together, which served as a wrap party.

All staff members are present.

Unfortunately, the troops had all gone back.

After filming the war scenes, the soldiers did not linger and were immediately taken back to their unit by their superiors.

I wish they could attend the wrap party.

Of course, this was just Cheng Sheng's own thought.

If you really want to attend a wrap party, it's definitely not something a single hotel can afford.

A meal shared by tens of thousands of people at once is something you probably only see in the military.

Cheng Sheng was quite happy tonight, toasting each other with Fu Dalong and other main actors, and drank a little too much.

Originally, teachers Zhang Yang and Yang Chao were also there, but they still needed to teach at the school, so they stayed there for more than a week before returning to the Central Academy of Drama.

After the meal, Cheng Sheng returned to his room with Zheng Guolin's help.

knock knock!

Not long after Zheng Guolin left, Cheng Sheng, still half asleep, heard a knock on the door.
