This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 303
"No, what kind of pressure can I have? What I don't like the most is putting pressure on myself.

I go to bed on time every night except for social activities. I do stretching exercises before going to bed. If I can, I take a warm bath. If I don't, I also soak my feet in hot water.

Then I lie on the bed and read a book to cultivate my mood. What I am reading recently is "Liao Zhai".

In addition, if there is a problem, I will try my best to solve it on the same day and not carry the pressure to the next day. It is an honor for me to cooperate with these seniors. I can’t wait to spend more time with them. How can you be nervous when you learn something? "

Zhang Li smiled: "You have a good attitude. In fact, many people feel pressure when they work with their seniors, because although many young actors nowadays have good acting skills, they are not as good as those The veteran actors are still quite different.

If you can't overpower the other person in the play, you will appear weak. Some viewers may just be watching for fun, but some viewers will be more serious. If you perform well, some people will praise you, and if you don't perform well, some people will scold you.

In addition, if your acting skills cannot beat others, you will feel uncomfortable. Of course, this is true for people who want to be strong.

In fact, I have discovered a problem in the past two years, that is, many young actors have become more and more impetuous. They only regard filming as a job to make money, but they are unwilling to work hard to complete it. "

Jiang Bai sighed after hearing this, because he had heard this before. It is actually normal for actors to play big names in the crew. After all, with high status, they naturally have high status.

The director spent millions or even tens of millions to invite him, so naturally he should be worshiped like a Buddha, but this is also based on the premise that you are really capable.

If there is such a person in Jiang Bai's crew, it would be fine if the other person is really capable and can be tolerated to a certain extent. But if it is the kind of person who only has fame and no ability, Jiang Bai will not be used to it at all. Looking at each other.

Although evicting people directly would require liquidated damages, for Jiang Bai, there were many ways to get people to leave without having to pay liquidated damages.

In this way, they were chatting while waiting for the actors who were going to perform the first act today to put on their makeup.

After the makeup was put on, the filming of "Ming Dynasty 1566 Jiajing and Hai Rui" finally started.

The reason why they chose today to start the machine is because they had seen the weather forecast before, saying that it would snow from tonight to tomorrow.

"Just like what is said in the play, this is auspiciousness from heaven. God knew we were going to shoot this scene, so it snowed on this day." Zhang Li looked very happy.

Because ordinary scenes are easy to tell, as long as they are divided into day and night, but some scenes that need to be shot in specific weather may not necessarily work.

It depends on whether God will give you face.

If they don't give face and wait for ten days and a half without snow, then their crew will have to wait forever.

When will it snow, when will they film these scenes again.

Following director Zhang Li's order, all the prepared machines were put into place.

What they are filming now is the first scene in the play.

During the Jiajing period, there were successive years of famine and ordinary wars. In the winter of the 39th year of Jiajing, there was not a single snowflake.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month of this year, Zhou Yunyi, the eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, was punished by the court for admonishing the imperial court for excessive spending, rampant corruption in the government, people's livelihood, anger and resentment.

He was beaten to death outside the Meridian Gate by Feng Bao, the eunuch of Dongchang.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had constant party disputes. This story happened between Xu Jie, the second assistant to the cabinet and the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, Gao Gong, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, Zhang Juzheng, the minister of the Ministry of war, and the five eunuchs who represented the Jiajing Emperor. In the midst of a fierce struggle.

I have to say that the acting skills of these veteran actors are really good, and each of them almost played their roles to life.

Even those supporting characters who don't have many roles are played with great prowess by these veteran actors.

They finished shooting all the scenes in the snow that could be shot during the day, and at night they had to reshoot the previous parts.

That is to say, after Emperor Jiajing issued the edict of sin against himself, it suddenly snowed heavily on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The little eunuchs in the palace were all very happy, shouting that the emperor is virtuous.

But at this time, the eunuch Feng Bao came out and told them to shut up fiercely, because he wanted to be the first to tell the emperor the news.

At this time, Feng Bao had not yet grasped the power. There were five eunuchs who were in charge of rituals and eunuchs above him.

"Okay, it's over. Thank you for your hard work, teachers. It's cold today, so I made some ginger soup. After everyone drinks it, go back and have a rest early."

Zhang Li came out and said with a smile, and after drinking the ginger soup, the actors all went to put on makeup and change clothes, and finally returned to the hotel to rest.

After this day's shooting, Jiang Bai only had one feeling.

Whether it's Emperor Jiajing, or Hai Rui, Yan Song, Xu Jie and others, they immediately fall into the action as soon as they stand in front of the camera.

Emotions are full and abundant.

Even after coming down, I still immersed myself in the character.

Many of the pauses during filming were not made by the director, but by the actors themselves who felt that their performance in this section was not very good and took the initiative to reshoot.

Including some of the lines and emotional expressions set in advance, they will also make modifications while pondering the script.

Although there are often quarrels among the crew, they are only about the plot, because everyone is working hard to film the script well.

For them, being an actor is a profession that they can devote their lives to.

Naturally, you have to do your best when doing things with money.

Since they have plenty of time now, they are filming according to the normal development of the script.

Even some actors who have no filming duties that day will silently read the script and recite their lines here.

After they finished filming the first episode, Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really bought this book right!

Such a good script is worth buying even if it costs more money. Even if it doesn't make money, it is definitely worth filming.

With this quality, this acting, and this plot, as long as the follow-up can be stable, even in the future, although I dare not say that it will be crushed, it will definitely have a place in the historical drama.

Just the fact that the great gods were debating this section in the court was enough to show their skills.

Jiang Bai had not appeared before. After waiting for a few days, it was finally Jiang Bai's turn to film. On this day, Jiang Bai came to the set to put on makeup early.And he was already familiar with the lines and actions he was going to perform.

Shen Yishi, played by Jiang Bai, is a villain who is very wealthy and bribes to make money, but he has a very good image in person, with handsome features and extraordinary conversation.

When we first discussed the script, Liu Heping even said that this was his favorite role. That is to say, Jiang Bai's acting skills were excellent. Otherwise, if someone else were to play the role, even if he invested money, he would not be able to do it easily. Play this role casually.

Shen Yishi runs the silk business, strategizing in the torrent of business and political struggles, winning thousands of miles, traveling in officialdom, shopping malls, and love circles, just like a fish in the water.

And Jiang Bai did not live up to everyone's expectations.

The seemingly contradictory personalities of Shen Yishi, a Confucian businessman, including his smoothness, arrogance, elegance, etc. are all concentrated in one person.

So much so that after they finished filming a few episodes, the veteran actors would come over to Jiang Bai to talk about the characters and the script when they saw that he was fine.

Sometimes they will discuss with Jiang Bai whether there is anything that needs improvement in the subsequent filming of the plot based on some historical data they have learned before.

Liu Heping has been here these days, because he is too concerned about his work. Sometimes when people put forward some opinions, Liu Heping will express his opinions based on reason.

It's just that everyone has worked hard to study in order to film their own roles and film this work well. Therefore, when faced with Liu Heping's arguments, they will not be outdone in their refutation.

In the end, the compromise between the two sides was basically [-]-[-].

In this crew, there is no saying that whoever is ranked higher will have more say. If you can't convince me with your reasoning, or even I can't accept it in my heart, then I don't need to shoot. Anyway, the pay is not much. money.

Even if they go to court for this kind of thing, they are not afraid, since they are taking care of it anyway.

The current situation of the crew is a bit like what happened when Jiang Bai was filming "Assembly". Jiang Bai couldn't accept Feng Xiaogang's ideas. Feng Xiaogang was not willing to change any of Jiang Bai's opinions.

Naturally, there is no need for everyone to waste any more words. It is the most appropriate ending to break up and let each of them be well.
Time passed day by day, and the plot was filmed piece by piece.

In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here. Zhang Li’s original idea was to give everyone a holiday during the New Year and go back to celebrate the New Year. But at this time, everyone is in high spirits. Every day when they open their eyes, they are playing their own roles. No one wants to This emotion stopped, and finally they came together.

"Go ahead and shoot."

On New Year's Eve, they finished work early, and the director asked someone to buy meat, vegetables, seasonings, and noodles. Just like that, they made dumplings and ate them together in the crew.

But how can there be no program during the Chinese New Year?
So they all formed teams in small groups and went up to perform separately.

This time Jiang Bai did not perform martial arts like he had done in other crews before, but went up to sing a scene.

It attracted cheers from everyone in the audience.

In the subsequent performances, Jiang Bai also played a snare drum to accompany the veteran actors.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Li gave red envelopes to the actors in the crew and the staff who stayed here to celebrate the New Year with them.

But after I posted it, I was busy preparing to start shooting.

Around the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Bai's scenes were almost finished filming.

Today Jiang Bai will film the scene of self-immolation.

In fact, as early as episode No. 14, the fate of Shen Yishi, played by Jiang Bai, was vaguely revealed in the conversation between Tan Lun and Hai Rui.

Because the imperial court wants to "convert rice to mulberry", but now the national treasury has a huge deficit, and the only person in the entire Ming Dynasty who can fill the treasury deficit is Shen Yishi.

The Weaving Bureau relied on Shen Yishi to make a fortune, but Shen Yishi's wealth did not belong to the Weaving Bureau, which meant that the money did not belong to the court.

Their plan is to buy back the people's land at a low price, and then the Weaving Bureau can rely on Shen Yishi's industry to produce silk and sell it to the West in exchange for money. However, the current problem is that the people's land cannot be sold at a low price.

So the imperial court had to confiscate his home to make up for the shortfall, because only by confiscating his home could there be enough silk to sell to Western merchants. So many workshops were naturally owned by the Weaving Bureau, and the emperor would agree with this result. .

It is precisely for this reason that Shen Yishi's house must be searched.

It's just that Hai Rui felt that Shen Yishi spent his own money to provide disaster relief and now ransacked his home, which was disrespectful to God and violated the law.

But the imperial court has not been so simple since ancient times. The reason why Shen Yishi spent his own money for disaster relief was because he knew that the imperial court was resisting the annexation of people's land at low prices from top to bottom, so he used the money to buy face and support for the emperor. , for self-protection.

But the deficit in the national treasury cannot be filled by regaining face.

In the long history of history, if the national treasury is in deficit, there are usually only two ways to get money, either through the people's ideas or through the businessmen's ideas. Now due to the opposition of the ministers, the people have kept it, and in the end the national treasury is in deficit. Naturally, he had to use Shen Yishi's property to make up for it.

As for the crime, it couldn't be simpler.

At the beginning, Yue Fei could be convicted and beheaded on trumped-up charges, but now he only needs to accuse Shen Yishi of being a businessman discussing politics.

On this day, Jiang Bai put on makeup and transformed into Shen Yishi, sitting upright in the house.

"My Ming Dynasty has the world. If the court can be used to love people, keep the people in good time, and officials at all levels be honest and self-responsible, and develop silk, porcelain, tea, and trade routes, just these three items, we can be richest in the world. How can we be today? The treasury is in short supply! We are squandering money from top to bottom, so we are plundering the people, and the people are still there, even if they are plundering the merchants!”

These words are tragic, although Shen Yishi is not a good person from the perspective of history and the fact that the court comes from the people.

But by the same token, he's not an outright bad guy.

If the national treasury is not in deficit, then he Shen Yishi will naturally be safe and sound.

But now is the time when the imperial court needs his family property. Under such a torrent, even if [-]% of the entire imperial court's tax revenue now comes from Zhejiang, and most of Zhejiang's wealth comes from silk, he still has difficulty protecting himself.

A marquis is not a marquis, a king is not a king. Thousands of cavalry return to Bei Mang. The cunning rabbit dies and the good bow is hidden. After me, you are wounded again. I will sing Guangling San and then play Qin Yunniang!

In this way, Shen Yishi, a wealthy Zhejiang businessman who once thrived in the court and among the people, but his inner turmoil was still turbulent, ended the rest of his life in the fire.

Wealth is lost, my favorite piano is also split, bid farewell to officialdom, bid farewell to shopping malls, bid farewell to life, bid farewell to love.

Shen Yishi's life ended here.
