Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

"My name is Xiao Zhuang. I'm a freelancer. I've been doing this since I graduated from the directing department of drama school."

"Before I went to college, it wasn't like that. I was in the special forces, and I think I was a very brave soldier."

"But I can't remember, or I don't want to remember."

Zhuang Yan sat in front of the computer and began his recollection.

"The last bullet was for me; the military memories I dare not forget, they only accompany me in the darkest dreams..."

......

Inside the military camp, the new recruits sat in the mess hall.

Xu Jia, who plays Zheng Sanpao, hurriedly walked in and blew the whistle to signal the assembly.

The character Xiao Zhuang calmly put away the book in his hand.

Zheng Sanpao, seeing this, became furious and shouted, "That soldier!"

"You! Hey, I'm talking to you! Who are you looking at?" Zheng Sanpao pointed at Zhuang Yan and scolded, "I'm talking to you!"

Zheng Sanpao walked up to Zhuang Yan with a displeased look. "Did you hear me when I called you?"

"You didn't talk to me." Zhuang Yan's tone was casual, not taking the person in front of him seriously at all. "You keep calling that soldier that soldier. I have a name. I thought you were calling so many soldiers. How was I supposed to know who you were calling?"

Zheng Sanpao interrupted Zhuang Yan, "What's your name?"

"Zhuang Yan, what about you?"

Zhao Xun, playing Chen Xiwa, rushed in from outside, anxiously reminding Zhuang Yan, "Call the class monitor!"

"Oh, class monitor."

"Zhuang Yan".

"This name is easy to remember, so you can just call me Xiao Zhuang."

"I'll remember you."

......

"Cut! Get ready to start over!" Liu Meng shouted through a megaphone. "Sanpao, can you look at Xu Ying with a little more force? You're the squad leader, what are you afraid of him for?"

Xu Jia looked helpless. "Director, you know how formidable Old Xu is. After Xunzi and I were dealt with by him last time, we're still a bit traumatized."

This is true, and Zhao Xun nodded in agreement.

Liu Meng was amused by Xu Jia's words and turned to look at Xu Ying, also calling Xu Ying "Old Xu" like the others.

"Old Xu, you also have a problem. You need to tone down your soldier's temperament. You've just joined the army; what we need are troublemakers and unruly individuals."

"You stand there, and you look even more like a king of soldiers than they do." After saying that, Liu Meng pointed to the special forces soldiers watching.

When everyone looked at it, it was indeed true; no wonder they always felt something was off.

Because they had been spending so much time together, they didn't notice anything amiss.

Xu Ying grinned and said, "Understood, Director Liu."

"Okay, everyone get ready, let's do it again."

Xu Ying quickly adjusted his demeanor and gradually became less intimidating.

Xu Jia immediately sensed this change in Xu Ying, and soon Xu Ying began to exude the aura of a class monitor.

After the two adjusted their mindset, the filming went much more smoothly.

The arrogance of Zhuang Yan, a greenhorn, was perfectly captured by the adjusted Xu Ying.

"Card!"

Liu Meng's voice rang out, this time with satisfaction.

"That's it! Get ready for the next one!"

Due to time constraints, the filming schedule for "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" was quite tight.

This game is over, and we'll be getting ready for the next one right away.

The props team was also busy setting up the training ground.

As soon as Xiao Zhuang joined the army, he clashed with his squad leader, Lao Pao, who deliberately selected Xiao Zhuang and some soldiers who "looked trash" to join his squad.

To give these "bear soldiers" a taste of their own medicine, Lao Pao led them to run laps on the playground. One by one, the "bear soldiers" fell to the ground and broke away from the group. However, Xiao Zhuang, who had received "special training" since childhood, surpassed Lao Pao and won a round of applause.

"Was the conflict at the training ground the one that happened this afternoon?" Xu Jia asked.

"Hmm." Xu Ying nodded. "Xiao Zhuang got enraged and hit Lao Pao, so he was put in solitary confinement."

"Then don't go too far, kid."

"Wouldn't it seem too fake if we didn't go all out?"

"Then you'd better hold back!" Xu Jia touched his face. "I don't want you to disfigure me."

"Hahaha." Zhao Xun chuckled to himself, "Has Teacher Zhou Huilin arrived yet?"

"I arrived a while ago, I'm changing clothes." Xu Ying glanced at the time.

Miao Lian, played by Zhou Huilin, is Zhuang Yan's first true mentor in his military career. The conversation in the solitary confinement room is the turning point in Zhuang Yan's mindset.

He was somewhat looking forward to acting opposite Hou Yong.

Zhu Yilong and Luo Jin strolled over from the other side; they had already finished filming their scenes for the morning.

Luo Jin was still holding the script in his hand, and he was gesturing several tactical hand signals as he walked.

"Let's both observe and see," Zhu Yilong said, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth. "This is actually the first time we've filmed together so formally. Don't let me outdo you."

"Just talk it out online," Xu Ying shook his head, saying bluntly, "You still need to practice."

"Ha ha."

A short while later, Zhou Huilin arrived.

Zhou Huilin usually plays roles in military, spy, and historical dramas, so people who don't watch these genres may be unfamiliar with her.

Those who watch it often will find him very familiar. Zhou Huilin has acted in many dramas, and the most famous one is "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".

He also played Mao Jie in the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Crossing the Jialing River", among other roles.

Of course, the most popular one is the special forces series of TV dramas he filmed with Liu Meng.

The afternoon shoot went smoothly.

On the training field, Xiao Zhuang was thoroughly provoked by Lao Pao's provocation and charged forward with a punch, only to be pulled away by the others.

"Cut! Excellent!" Liu Meng was satisfied. "Prepare to transfer to the solitary confinement cell!"

Xu Ying changed into clean clothes and tidied up.

Sitting in the confinement room, Liu Meng and Zhou Huilin stood outside.

The scenes in the solitary confinement room were filmed on location in a corner of the camp.

The room was small, with only a hard bed and a table.

Liu Meng said, "Old Xu, in that scene in the solitary confinement room later, you need to control your emotions a bit, but you also need to let them show."

Zhou Huilin looks very kind, just like the character Miao Lian he plays. "Miao Lian didn't go to scold him, but to enlighten him."

"Understood, Director Liu, Teacher Zhou."

......

"That soldier." Miao Lian came to the outside of the confinement room and called out to Xiao Zhuang, who was doing push-ups in front of him.

Zhuang Yan turned his head with a cold face.

"You're pretty amazing."

"The leader praised me."

"You actually managed to injure our Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company's oldest squad leader? Do you have three heads and six arms?"

"He hit me first," Zhuang Yan said indignantly. "He bullied me."

"Then you'll hit him?"

"I will not attack unless attacked!"

"Wow, you learn that pretty quickly. But why didn't you learn how soldiers obey orders?"

......

The filming of scenes in the military camp progressed quickly, and the actors seemed to be completely immersed in their roles.

They film during the day, and when they have filming at night, they film; when they don't have filming, they get together to drink.

Liu Meng was also there; as the director, what he wanted most was for the actors to be in great form.

The liquor we drank was provided by Liu Meng.

This is Xu Ying and his group. However, everyone drank in moderation, and they all looked forward to having a big drink after the event.

The day finally arrived, the plot that Xu Ying had been most looking forward to: Zhuang Yan driving a tank towards the base camp.

Why am I so excited?

Because he unlocked the tank driving skill.
