"What are you laughing at? It's true. A good director first has to understand the emotions of the actor, then can better guide the actor to realize his potential, in the camera display of his highest level. This is also the key to a play's success. " When Zhao Yuan heard them, he laughed. He seemed to be a little anxious. She raised her head and looked directly at them. Then, she opened her mouth and expressed her opinion in a stern voice.
"Aiyo, don't say it. He really does look like a director." Listening to Zhao Yuan's logical and reasonable appearance, Su You's zither began to praise with a smile. Everyone said that she was a son to his father. Looks like Director Zhao had taught his daughter well. One day, he would surely emerge victorious over the others. It was fortunate that they both had the same hobby. It was truly a kind of fate. Of course, not to mention these, she would definitely find an opportunity to repay the kindness that they had given her.
"That's only natural." Zhao Yuan proudly raised his head, looking very pleased with himself. Speaking of her specialization, Zhao Yuan always seemed to be arrogant.
"Alright, it's getting late. It's better to hurry up and put on some makeup." Seeing that Zhao Yuan was so happy that he couldn't find his way to the north, Su You Zheng cleared his throat and reminded him with a smile.
After that, Zhao Yuan helped to prepare makeup for Su Wenjin, while the other makeup artists also helped Lin Zhenzi and Chu Xiaotian to put on their makeup.
After about half an hour, Su Zhizheng and the others finished dressing themselves and went to the changing room to change into their costumes and headdress. Then Zhao Yuan led them to the location of the filming. The director and the others had been waiting for a while now.
"Yesterday's Kang Xi has finished filming the scenes for twenty-six years, and it went very smoothly. Today, it's our turn for the regular army to take action. I think you guys should be more confident." The director said with a smile when he saw that Su Zhizheng and the others had arrived.
"Director is being too polite." Chu Xiaotian smiled and nodded at the director.
"Director, please give us your guidance." Lin Zi politely said to the director.
"I think we'll have to trouble the director." Su Wangzheng was a bit nervous after hearing his words, but she still answered politely.
"Don't be so modest, believe in yourself. We'll cooperate with each other. " When the director saw how humble these kids were, he was also very happy, so he smiled and said.
"Yes." The three of them replied in unison.
Then, the director pointed at the seats at the side. A few of them took their seats, while Ou Ziyang and Tang Eli sat too close to each other and watched from the back.
The director smiled at the few of them, then said simply, "Then let me introduce the plot. Most likely, everyone had already seen the script. Today's scene started when Kangxi was thirty-two years old, which meant that the heroine was thirteen years old, the eighth brother was thirteen, and the fourth brother was sixteen. What do you think of the footage you saw yesterday? "
"Very good." Lin Zi praised him unreservedly.
"No problem." Chu Xiaotian nodded in agreement.
"I feel like I have shown a character's personality pretty well." Su Wangzheng praised with a humble attitude, as if she was accepting a lesson.
"Hehe, yesterday's shoot was indeed not bad. You all are about to feel threatened. Because what you need to do is to suppress those children who came out earlier. You need to make the audience feel that you are much more outstanding than them. " When the director heard this, he continued to speak with a smile.
"I reckon the warmth is even more oppressive now. Because seven years from now, the first act will be taken by her. " Lin Zi listened deeply and turned his head to Su Wangzheng, but even though he said that, his eyes were still full of encouragement.
Su Wangzheng didn't say anything, but she gave Lin Zizhen a look as well.
Hearing Lin Zisheng's words, the director looked at Su Wangzheng, laughed and said, "Hehe, that's right. It looks like everyone is familiar with the script. Yesterday, at the end of the show, the female lead, dressed in pink palace attire, had received the order to enter the Palace. Today, the first scene was the female protagonist walking out of the Palace in pink. "Even though it's just a few steps, but it's related to the audience's first impression. You all have to grasp it well."
"Yes." The few of them replied in unison.
After the simple pre-play understanding, it was already possible to start shooting.
However, the director noticed that Su Wangzheng was still a bit nervous, so he decided to give her two more minutes to adjust. He looked at Tang Aili, who was sitting not far away, and said to Su Wangzheng, "Then you first get ready. You need the assistant to check your clothes. We'll start preparing in two minutes."
"Alright." Su Wangzheng had no choice but to agree after hearing his words.
However, before Su Wangzheng could say anything, Tang Eli ran over and bent down to help her tidy up clothes.
At this moment, the palace on Su Wangzheng's body turned pink, indicating that her position as the female lead had increased. In the palace, he could wear red and yellow. There were only the emperor and empress in that outfit.
Tang Eli tidied herself up very meticulously, as if she had been specially trained for this. She had a very accurate understanding of the female lead's headdress. She examined it from top to bottom, and when she saw that there was nothing wrong with it, she took a step back.
Seeing this, the director waved to the surrounding staff, indicating that they were all ready to start.
At this moment, because the movie was about to begin, most of the actors had come over to take a look. First, they wanted to see if this female lead had any real ability.
The director walked in front of Su Wangzheng and gave another simple speech, "Then let's begin the first round. This scene was rather large, but as the first act began, it was like a prelude to the next act. Entering the situation. Let me remind you, the first act is about the female lead, Sifu Jin. Wulanala walked out of the palace and spoke to the two maids, Dong Qin and Qiu Qi. This was because seven years ago, the female lead had entered the palace from the Palace, and seven years later, she had walked out again. That feeling must have been refreshing. Do you understand? "
"Understood." Su Wangzheng nodded her head seriously. She was very grateful that the director was so careful to remind her of this.
"Warm, you have to pay attention to your appearance and body posture. At this point, you have already stayed by the emperor's side for seven years, so you shouldn't be as lively as you were before. The director nodded at Su Wangzheng and continued speaking.
"Understood." Su Wangzheng nodded and gave the director a reassuring smile.
"Then let's give it a try." Seeing this, the director raised his hand.
The director had said "give it a try," so he had told Su Wangzheng not to feel pressured. If she felt that it wasn't good enough, she could try again. This gave Su Wangzheng some peace of mind.
Then, the director brought the black card to Su Wanzheng's side and said, "First act, begin."
At this moment, Su He walked out of the palace step by step with his zither in front of the camera and the handkerchief in his hand.
Her steps were steady, and each step seemed very calm. Her demeanor was also very calm, and only the corners of her mouth held a hint of a smile. This was a unique welcoming but not flattering etiquette unique to the imperial palace.
His manner and demeanor were measured, and his manner was naturally generous. The few steps that appeared on the camera gave people a sense of shock. A beautiful feeling.
The female lead seven years later was indeed very steady. Furthermore, the exquisite decorations on her head made it easy to highlight her identity as the most popular person around Kang Xi.
"Miss." Watching Su Wangzheng's zither walk out of the room, the two palace maids standing by the door bowed to Su Wangzheng.
"Dongqin, Qiuqi, have you done what I asked you to do?" After seeing the two of them complete their salutations, Su Zhizheng slowly spoke to them. Her voice was not loud, but it was filled with authority. The whole sound was unhurried and unhurried.
"Yes, my lady." The two palace maids replied in unison.
"Miss, I heard that you are angry today because of the water problem in Jiangnan. You have to be careful." Dong Qing slowly leaned toward Su You's zither and reminded him in a low voice.
Before she could finish her sentence, Su Wangzheng's eyebrows creased. Her mouth slightly raised and her eyes contained a slight glint of anger. She then said in a cold voice, "You're getting more and more presumptuous. Is the matter of Master Hail something that we can discuss?"
"This servant will punish them for their crimes." As soon as her voice fell, the two palace maids were frightened to the point of kneeling on the ground, their expressions were vivid and lifelike, as if they were truly infected by Su Wanxin's zither demeanor.
Only then did Su Wangzheng's expression relax a bit. She gently waved the handkerchief, indicating for the two to get up. After the two stood still, she casually reminded them, "It's not comforting to me to sleep in. Remember to bring some Calm Honey Tea over later."
"Yes, yes." "Lady." The two of them had just been frightened and their voices were not gentle. They were clearly flustered.
At this point, the camera stopped on Su Wenzheng's slightly angry face. Her expression was very calm. With a single glance, one could tell that she had seen a lot of influential figures in the world. She seemed to have come to a realization.
"Alright, stop." When the director saw this, he hurriedly made a gesture for the camera to stop. Following that, he smiled as he walked up, clapping his hands and saying, "It's too perfect."
Seeing the director clap his hands, the others also followed suit and applauded.
Indeed, Su Wangzheng's performance just now was very perfect. She did not seem like a newbie who had just been acting.
"One frown and one smile, playing the role of a head maid. There was blame, there was consolation, and the expression on his face was just right. He had displayed the character of a person who had just grown up." The director walked up and patted Su Wangzheng's shoulder as he praised her with a smile.
"Director, if you praise me like this, I'll feel embarrassed. It was also because these two ladies cooperated well. I'm more or less proud of myself. " At the same time, he attributed all the credit to the two young palace maids who had just played along with her.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You're really good at it." And they did very well. " Suddenly, another person walked out from the palace. He looked at Su Wangzheng with a satisfied and praising expression.
As for this person … He was in his forties and was clad in a dragon robe. Looking at his free and easy appearance, it was difficult for others to not know his identity.
"Your majesty?" Su Wangzheng told the story and then felt that she had been too involved. It wasn't the camera right now, so what should she call the emperor? Thinking that someone had previously said that he was Li Mingxian, Su Wangzheng quickly greeted him, "Oh, no, Mr. Li, you've come."
"Hur hur, it's strange to call me that." Hearing Su Wangzheng call him that, Li Mingxian smiled, and then he said, "If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Li."
