Chapter 213: Pressure the scene right after filming?
After Su Zhe returned to the crew of "Emperor of Han Dynasty", he finally started filming his first TV series.

The first scene will be shot with Chen Zhanhong and Chen Shidi, who plays Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Xiao Su, don't take it too seriously. It's normal to be pressured by Teacher Chen." Xu Shaoyang (played as Wei Qing) tried to comfort his "nephew" on the side.

Dong Jianpeng (played as Li Guang) smiled evilly:
"Don't cry for a moment. Be careful of being filmed by the behind-the-scenes director and used as promotional materials to be repeatedly executed online."

Su Zhe countered them philosophically:

"In the game, the mobs are always put first and then the BOSS, allowing the players to grow; but life is different. Often the sword is not properly equipped, and you are already in trouble when you go out."

He gave them both a regretful look, as if to say:

Why don't you let me beat you two little monsters first?

The two were stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed together:
"You kid! You're so weird!"

Chen Zhanhong looked at them with a strange expression:

"What did you say?"

"Discussing the experience of being suppressed by you!"

Chen Zhanhong was stunned for a moment, and said very naturally, but especially in Versailles:
"It's okay, just get used to it."

They chatted for a while, and the crew finally adjusted the lighting, focus, etc., and Song Xianzhong announced:
"Ready to start!"

Su Zhe quickly walked to the tent that had been set up and stood in the corner as a guard.

He had been familiar with the script for a long time, and of course he knew that this scene was about someone (Lei Du) reporting that Huainan King Liu An was treason. Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty who was in Huainan Kingdom became vigilant and decided to return to Chang'an early.

At this time, Huo Qubing was just a bodyguard of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He had not yet crossed the grasslands and had not grown into a famous general in the annals of history. He was just a young man.

So in this scene, Su Zhe is just a human-shaped background board. It stands to reason that he only needs to stand handsomely to complete the performance without any difficulty.

If it were changed to a certain flow rate, this scene would be directly performed by a stunt double. When the close-up is reached, the person would wince and frown in front of the camera.

Don't laugh, this is a dedicated actor, he actually does the big close-up in person, no need to cut out the picture!
Of course Su Zhe would not do such a thing, but he was not willing to just be a background without any sense of existence.

"Action!"

Under everyone's gaze, the actor playing Lei Bao began to read his lines:

"The King of Huainan regards himself as extraordinary and has always had a disobedient heart."

Su Zhe stood behind him, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, always alert to the outside of the tent, but after hearing Lei Qui's lines, he immediately turned his head slightly and glanced at him.

But his movements were very slight, just a glance, and he immediately returned to his identity as a guard, always paying attention to danger.

Lei was slowly told that King Huainan had made preparations for rebellion "as early as the sixth year of Jianyuan, when the Empress Dowager was critically ill."

Su Zhe stopped moving, but his expression showed a hint of anger, as if he was annoyed by Huainan King Liu An's disobedience.

At this time, Chen Zhanhong played Liu Che, sitting opposite Lei Gui, and there was no camera facing him.

Because this kind of dialogue between the two parties needs to be acted out at least twice. After filming Lei Quilt and Su Zhe, his reaction will be filmed.

If an actor wants to be lazy, he can rest by himself while the camera is filming the other person, and then go on when the camera is filming himself.

But in order to make Su Zhe and Su Zhe more involved in the play, Chen Zhanhong worked conscientiously to cooperate with the performance even if he was not filmed.

When he heard the fact that Lei was exposed, he slightly pressed the corners of his mouth to show his inner anger, but his expression was very calm, maintaining the majesty of a king.

But when Lei was revealed, Huainan King Liu An had always admired Li Guang, lamented his fate of being unable to become a marquis under Liu Che, and tried to win over Li Guang.

And Li Guang was Liu Che's general during his inspection of the Huainan Kingdom, and he was right next to his bed!

Chen Zhanhong couldn't help but clenched his fists, which showed his inner nervousness.

But he didn't show it. Instead, he had a confident expression, full of relaxation that "General Li will never betray me."

At this time, Li Guang's voice came from outside the tent.

Chen Zhanhong immediately glanced at Su Zhe and said nothing, but his eyes were full of vigilance.

Su Zhe was excited and knew that the critical moment had arrived!

He immediately stood up straight and instinctively grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, as if he was ready to fight at any time. But when he turned around, he paused for a moment, put his hand down again, his body relaxed, opened the tent and walked out.

——Before Li Guang actually rebelled, he could not show the slightest vigilance to avoid making him do irrational things in anger.

This is consistent with the logic of Chen Zhanhong’s performance——

Loose on the outside and tight on the inside, you are very nervous on the inside, but you must be calm on the outside.

But the two used different performance methods——

Chen Zhanhong was sitting, using small movements and micro-expressions to show off; Su Zhe was standing in armor, turning around and leaving, unable to see his expression, so he used body gestures to perform.

After Su Zhe walked out of the tent, Song Xianzhong shouted in surprise:
"Card!"

"Wow!" Xu Shaoyang and Dong Jianpeng exclaimed together, "You didn't fall behind when you played against Teacher Chen?"

Chen Zhanhong also looked at Su Zhe in surprise and praised:

"The logic of the character is so good. I thought you would act in a shocking way just to show your youthfulness."

Su Zhe smiled:

"I've read history."

After Huo Qubing became a general, his achievements were so brilliant that many actors took it for granted that he was poorly played in the early stage in order to show the character's arc (growth).

An actor once said:

"I can't be convinced by Huo Qubing's natural-born God of War persona." As long as the traffic is personified, can Huo Qubing's record be called a persona?Why, the captured Hun kings were all hired extras?Are the armies of the Han and Hungarian empires all naval armies?
For the sake of character arc, whenever Huo Qubing is featured in movies or TV dramas, they like to say that he was a poor young man. He started out as a soldier and seemed to want to write about the coolness of a grassroots counterattack.

But although Huo Qubing had no father since he was a child, his aunt Wei Zifu entered the palace when he was a boy, and his uncle Wei Qing also made a fortune. How could he be poor?

In Su Zhe's understanding, Huo Qubing should be young and mature. He can be a bit talented and young at ordinary times, but at critical moments, he must be very reliable, otherwise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not let him be a bodyguard.

Chen Zhanhong appreciated his answer:

"Some people just think too much and read too little."

While they were chatting, Song Xianzhong changed the camera again and asked the three of them to play it out again, this time filming Chen Zhanhong's reaction.

Then he took some close-up shots, such as Chen Zhanhong clenching his fist, Su Zhe pressing his sword, etc. to perfect the lens language.

Su Zhe kept watching curiously and studying hard.

Although he doesn't plan to learn to be a director (he didn't get the chance), understanding the director's thinking is also beneficial to the actor's performance.

What's more, after establishing Long Aotian Film and Television Company, he can serve as both screenwriter and starring, leaving only the director in the creative triangle.

He must choose a good director, not to ruin the classics of his previous life, and not to let himself lose money!

If you want to select an excellent director, you must at least know the standards of excellence. Otherwise, it will be like some outside investors who enter the circle and only listen to deception, and let big deceivers who have no ability and only brag take over.

After several repeated shots, Song Xianzhong finally announced that the scene was finished.

Very smooth scenes in film and television dramas often need to be shot shot by shot, which is very complicated.

After filming this scene, it was time for the scenes between Su Zhe and Dong Jianpeng (Li Guang).

Dong Jianpeng's expression tightened, and he actually felt a little nervous.

Xu Shaoyang laughed at him:

"Old Dong, don't let Su Zhe pressure you. That would be embarrassing."

Dong Jianpeng said harshly:

"No, we are no longer close to being an old actor. How can we let a young boy overwhelm us?"

"action!"

Dong Jianpeng walked over in a hurry. After seeing Su Zhe, he asked anxiously:
"What's that guy talking about?"

Su Zhe was a little wary at first, but when he saw Dong Jianpeng's anxious and thoughtful expression, he turned his head slightly to think.

He immediately said businesslikely:
"do not know."

Dong Jianpeng stood there and complained:
"That's why I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the palace. It's much simpler on the battlefield. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it! It's easy to kill him until the sky is dark and the earth is dark!"

Su Zhe observed him carefully. After hearing his words, he said thoughtfully:
"I'm afraid this battlefield matter is not that simple."

If a general only cares about fighting, why should he be a general?
But he was just a young guard and would not directly contradict General Li Guang, so he was cautious in his words and deeds and did not say much, but his sharp aura was like the rising sun and a sharp blade unsheathed, which was difficult to conceal.

Dong Jianpeng was obviously suppressed and blurted out:

"Listening to you, it sounds like you are the general and I am the guard. Have you ever fought in a war?"

At this time, Huo Qubing, who had not yet become famous, was despised by General Li Guang, but he was not nervous, nor did he prove his urgency. Instead, his expression was calm, with a hint of confidence:
"General, I've never eaten pork, and I haven't...wait a minute!"

Su Zhe still felt something was wrong halfway through speaking, so he paused and asked:
"Did this proverb exist in the Han Dynasty?"

Song Xianzhong was stunned for a moment, then quickly went to check and found that this proverb was said to come from the Ming Dynasty and was an anecdote of Emperor Zhengde, or it was said to come from "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Cao Xueqin of the Qing Dynasty.

Anyway, it was after the Han Dynasty.

Su Zhe muttered:

"I seem to remember that the pigs in the Western Han Dynasty were not castrated, so the meat was not delicious. The technique of breeding pigs was only mastered in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There is no such saying."

Everyone present:  …

"You still know this? You're not so versatile that you can castrate pigs, are you?"

Su Zhe quickly explained:

"Ah? I learned this from reading historical time-travel novels - the protagonist travels to the Western Han Dynasty, slaughters pigs and cooks them, and conquers the stomach of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

Others don't believe it, but they believe he knows how to slaughter pigs.

Su Zhe complained: "Don't accuse me falsely! Why should I learn that stuff when I have nothing to do?"

When others heard this, they didn’t believe it even more:

Then why are you learning to open locks and repairs if you have nothing to do?
After changing the lines on the spot, I continued——

There was a touch of confidence in Su Zhe's eyes:
"If you have never been a general, you may not be able to command troops."

Dong Jianpeng still had one line, but when he heard Su Zhe's words, he was so overwhelmed by the momentum that he was speechless and unable to speak.

The whole place was silent.

"Card!"

Dong Chengpeng squatted on the ground and covered his face in shame:

"I was actually bullied by this kid!"

 I just wrote it, and the update time tomorrow is still uncertain. It should be back to normal over the weekend, so I'll try to add more updates.
