Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

Because the scenes for the second day were scheduled for the first scene, Xu Ying got up at five o'clock and arrived at the set at six o'clock to start preparing.

Today's scene required the character to appear rather destitute, so he wore makeup resembling that of a beggar.

However, hair styling is relatively troublesome, and the hairstyle needs to be made to fit the character as closely as possible to avoid any mishaps.

Xu Ying encountered other actors in the dressing room, and everyone looked at him with a hint of curiosity.

Since his first scene would feature not only Emperor Xian of Han, but also numerous ministers and eunuchs, many actors planned to come and watch, wanting to see just how good this newcomer's acting skills were.

After a series of procedures including makeup and costume changes, it was already eight o'clock.

After Xu Ying finished her makeup, she arrived at the film set led by the staff.

Director Gao Xixi was already waiting there.

Next, the director began to explain the scene to the actors, detailing the desired effect to ensure that the actors fully understood.

The scene itself wasn't complicated, but to prevent Xu Ying from making mistakes, Gao Xixi still patiently and meticulously explained it again, including specific details such as movement.

After all the preparations were completed, the film set was surrounded by several layers of people, and almost all the actors whose names you could recognize were present.

As Xu Ying was touching up her makeup, whispers arose from outside the venue.

Yu Bin, who plays Cao Pi, was being pulled aside and asked, "I heard that this newcomer is also from Beijing Film Academy. Beijing Film Academy has produced quite a few handsome men in recent years."

Yu Bin was displeased upon hearing this and scoffed, "What's the use of being handsome? In this industry, acting skills are the most important thing."

Because of his appearance, he often received differential treatment from others while filming and frequently heard some unpleasant things.

Does being handsome mean you can do whatever you want?

They still have to act honestly; newcomers should act like newcomers.

Senior actresses Liu Jing and Zhao Ke also came to the set to cheer Xu Ying on: "Junior brother, keep it up!"

Xu Ying looked around and revealed an innocent smile.

He thought to himself that the actors and stars in this industry were actually quite easy to get along with, not as tumultuous as the outside world had made them out to be.

What he didn't know was that this was because he had received the director's recommendation as soon as he arrived and was also loved by a group of actors. Compared with others, he was more than just lucky.

There's no way around it; with a director's recommendation and outstanding personal qualities, things naturally go more smoothly.

Moreover, Xu Ying had a cheat code, while the others did not.

"All departments, prepare! Scene 182, Shot 1, Action!"

With a command from the executive director.

Xu Ying, who plays Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, leads a group of ministers and eunuchs, looking disheveled, into the main hall from outside the gate, where all he sees are ruins.

Liu Xie, having endured great hardship to escape back to Luoyang, was utterly exhausted. He walked unsteadily down the steps and sat down amidst the ruins.

He knelt down, hugging his knees, overwhelmed by hunger, and cried out, "My dear minister! I am thirsty... I am hungry..."

Upon hearing the call, the old minister beside him looked around, and then Dong Cheng took out a flatbread from his pocket and handed it over.

Emperor Xian of Han wolfed down the cake, but choked. He searched all around but found no water, and even the moat had dried up.

Liu Xie has issued an edict ordering the feudal lords to come to the aid of the king.

......

"Cut! One take!"

This scene was filmed in one take.

Gao Xixi led the applause, and then a sparse clapping sounded from the audience.

"See? This kid is definitely an experience-oriented person."

Chen Jianbing, Yu Hewei, and others took the lead in clapping, and the others followed suit.

Yu Bin looked surprised. This person's acting skills were not at all like those of a newcomer. Why were they so skilled?

When Xu Yingyou responded, he saw a hint of jealousy and displeasure in the well-meaning eyes of the crowd.

He followed the gaze with some surprise and found that he actually knew the person. It was his senior from the Beijing Film Academy, who was also Cao Pi, who had scenes with Emperor Xian of Han.

This senior colleague has acted in many of Gao Xixi's works, so Xu should be quite familiar with him. He has acted in "Sweet Honey", "Happiness Like Flowers" and "Golden Wedding".

Logically, this senior should be on Gao Xixi's side, so why is he so unhappy with him?

But it doesn't matter. Xu Ying looked over with a grin. When it comes to eye contact, he's never been afraid of anyone.

Chen Hao rolled his eyes at Xu Ying's smug look; this younger brother really didn't miss any opportunity to show off.

Xu Ying didn't think too much about it and prepared to start filming the next scene.

They filmed several more takes, and although they couldn't get it right in one take, his acting skills were still widely recognized.

"It seems that sending you to the 'My Chief and My Regiment' production team to hone your skills has actually helped you improve a lot," Gao Xixi said as he stepped forward. "You don't look like a newcomer at all now. If I didn't know your situation, I wouldn't believe it."

Chen Jianbin nodded and said, "This kid is really talented; he seems to improve every day."

"I can't do that, I'm an actor with a blank expression," Ni Dahong joked.

Yu Hewei exclaimed, "So there really are naturally gifted actors."

No one refuted this statement; they all thought so in their hearts.

The most important thing in acting is to become the character, which everyone knows, but very few people can actually do it.

That's why so many actors, no matter how many roles they play, make the audience feel like they're just playing themselves.

"Xiao Xu will never be confined by a single role, I'm a little envious," Chen Jianbing remarked.

The other actors were quite surprised to hear their high praise for Xu Yingjing, and they all wondered if they should get to know him after filming wrapped up today.

After all, we're all in the entertainment industry. Getting to know more people means having more options, which isn't a bad thing.

Lin Xinru gazed in Xu Ying's direction and thought to herself, "I haven't met many young people like this in all my years in the industry."

She could even see the muscles hidden beneath the thin fabric of the ancient costume.

Xu Ying had no idea that he was being targeted by a woman from Taiwan.

He was currently reviewing the situation and planning the subsequent plot.

When Xu Ying was resting after the game, he received a call from Luo Jin.

He thought to himself, "Has my senior brother finished filming 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'?"

Xu Ying answered the phone and asked, "Senior brother, what brings you to call me? Have you finished filming your TV series?"

Luo Jin's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone filled with concern, "I heard Director Zhang say that a young man rushed into the explosives area during filming and rescued people unharmed."

"Later, I asked around and only found out that the person's surname was Xu, so I thought I'd call and ask if that person was you?"

When Luo Jin called to ask, Xu Ying did not deny it and readily admitted that it was him.

Immediately following was Luo Jin's reproachful voice: "Don't do this again next time. This is no joke. You're still so young."

Feeling the care from his senior, Xu Ying replied earnestly.

After chatting for a while, Luo Jincai said, "By the way, let's get down to business. You don't have an agent or a signed company yet, right? I happen to know an agent who I can recommend to you. They'll contact you in the next few days."

Xu Ying was taken aback. He hadn't really thought about the agent aspect; his senior brother was much more thoughtful.

Luo Jin explained, "Actors usually sign with a company and an agent in the early stages. With the company's recommendation, they may have better resources."

He was afraid that Xu Ying wouldn't understand, but in fact, Xu Ying knew some of it.

Once actors have gained sufficient experience and skill, they can negotiate with their company to establish their own personal studio, or they can terminate their contract and go solo to run their own studio. These are all viable options.

Luo Jin's kindness was exactly what Xu Ying needed. He really lacked an agent, unlike Zhu Yilong, who had signed with a company to serve him, which was quite good.
