The road to movie stardom for those who eat melons

([-]) Styling

The alarm clock "ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!

After turning off the alarm, I blinked my confused eyes and saw that it was already 5:20. It was time to get up. I couldn't be late for the first day of filming.

Reluctant to leave the warm bed, I swayed to the bathroom, quickly finished washing, applied the necessary skin care set for winter, and changed into thick clothes to wear when going out.

Wen Ze had no time to care about his handsome self in the mirror. He just wanted to go out quickly, otherwise he was afraid it would be too late.

Wenze and the others made an agreement with their assistant Liu Zhi that he would not come over to wake them up in the morning. He would help them buy breakfast and wait for the car downstairs to pick them up and take them to the set.

The crew usually starts work at 8 o'clock in the morning, unless otherwise notified in advance for special scenes. In order to catch up with the start of work, it is stipulated that you must arrive at the set at 6 o'clock at the latest before you can make it in time.

It takes almost 20 minutes by car from checking into the hotel to the filming location.

Like Wen Ze, they have major roles every day. Unless the scenes are arranged in the afternoon or evening, they usually start work in the morning.

Wenze hurried downstairs and saw Liu Zhi holding breakfast. After politely thanking him, he took his own portion and waited for Bao Yan, Guan Cheng and Xie An who had not yet come downstairs.

Wenze didn't eat the buns, but drank some sugar-free soy milk. The taste was hard to describe, and it wasn't his preference.

After waiting for less than 2 minutes, I saw a sleepy Bao Yan, an energetic Xie An, Guan Cheng who kept away from strangers, followed by Qian Duole holding a soy milk bun. These people were walking together. I feel like laughing for no reason.

Everyone in the dressing room arrived and got into the car arranged by the crew and rushed to the filming location.

Wenze's scenes on the first day were not heavy, mainly the scenes between the male and female protagonists Qiao Yi and Shen Meng. Guan Cheng also had a lot of scenes as the second male lead, so Wenze had more time to observe.

The director does not shoot according to the logic of the plot at all. He shoots whatever scenes are arranged. Therefore, the characters must be deeply understood. Otherwise, if you do not perform well, you will be scolded and looked down upon. This means that you are a minor star. The life of the crew after being an artist is not easy.

A young artist like Wenze, who has no masterpieces, no traffic, no financial backers, and no fans, got lucky and ran into a big production co-produced by his own company and a leading company. It happened that the director thought he could be the third male lead, and the company did not replace him. He is already his best resource since he entered the industry.

Compared with the highest treatment received by Qiao Yi and Shen Meng, Wenze and the others are treated just like ordinary actors. In the final analysis, they are treated differently because they are not popular.

Wen Ze, who had finished styling, came to the set and waited for the director to start filming the first scene of the day.

The styling time was much shorter this time. It was not like trying on the styling like yesterday. It was done in less than an hour and a half today.

Yu Heng's style is not complicated. He is dressed in crescent-white silk brocade with no unnecessary patterns. He wears a wide bamboo-patterned belt around his waist, paired with warm sapphire, which shows his magnanimity from a wealthy family while at the same time highlighting the thinness of his body. , giving people a sense of brokenness that has not healed from a long-term illness.

The hairstyle is styled in a cool and gentlemanly style. The hairstylist tied up the hair on his forehead and temples with crescent-white hairbands, revealing his beautiful peaks. The black hair on the back of his head hangs down softly, and his cold and dusty temperament blows over his face when his face is expressionless.

Comparing the looks of the male protagonist and the second male lead, Qiao Yi and Guan Cheng's looks are full of luxury.

As they were born into the royal family, their food and clothing expenses were naturally at the top level.

As the second prince, Sun Hongyan wears a jade crown to tie his hair, holds a jade bone fan in his hand, and wears a sky-blue satin robe with gold piping and embroidery of nine pythons and golden dragons. He is graceful and noble, with a gentlemanly demeanor, fully displaying the royal majesty.

Sun Hongyan pays attention to the image of a gentleman, deliberately maintains a gentleman's bearing, cherishes his feathers, is good at buying people's hearts, and tells the world that he has an emperor's bearing.

As the third prince, Sun Hongxin has his hair tied back with a black jade crown, holds a famous sword, and wears black clothes with gold embroidery thread, embroidered with dragon patterns and dark cloud patterns, showing his cold domineering and imposing momentum.

At first glance, he looks like a martial arts practitioner. He is as cold and ruthless as the sword in his hand. He is unparalleledly handsome but no one dares to approach him. There is a kind of evil intention to keep strangers away from him.

Their costumes try their best to fit the characters, and each has its own unique features.

Anyway, Wenze was very satisfied with his costume look, his temperament was completely different.

Bao Yan, who plays the role of Yu Heng's brother Yu Ding, has the most exaggerated appearance. The brocade clothes are the standard, bright red, with complex and diverse patterns. At first glance, he looks like a dandy who eats, drinks and has fun, and is a fool.

The look is in line with Yu Ding's character. He gets into trouble every day, does things without thinking and regardless of the consequences. He also likes to drink wine, brag, and spend money like water.

Luo Sheng, played by Xie An, is the cousin of the third prince and Sun Hongxin's number one fan. It is easy to sacrifice his life for him.

Xie An's style is naturally dark-colored, wearing a gilt and dark patterned costume, holding a long sword in his hand, exuding a rebellious aura and a strong aura.

Although Wenze had seen everyone's styles yesterday, he couldn't help but look at them a few more times. He sincerely praised the stylist's good skills, which was also inseparable from the artist's good foundation.

The four people standing together and competing to see whose eyes were bigger were attracted by a commotion. It turned out that the heroine Shen Meng and the second heroine Tang Mian came to the set together. They were both beautiful in their own way.

Shen Meng is a gentle and elegant lady, with a beautiful face, skin like cream, and a graceful figure; Tang Mian is a lively, outspoken and lovely girl, petite and exquisite, with a smile like a flower.

Bao Yan is worthy of being a social expert. He naturally came forward to talk. He was not afraid of strangers at all. He wore a costume like a male peacock with its wings spread, and exclaimed sincerely: "Wow, are you two fairies who have just fallen into the mortal world? Why? So beautiful."

As soon as the words fell, the two actresses burst into laughter, especially the youngest Tang Mian, who jumped up and down like a cute little rabbit.

This hand stunned all the men present, and said in their hearts, "I have never seen such a shameless person."

The person involved, Bao Yan, remained calm and praised the two actresses enthusiastically. The scene looked very harmonious.

Wen Ze couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Bao Yan's innate talent is really something that ordinary people can't learn. It proves that Bao Yan is indeed an outstanding person, so much so that people give him a thumbs up."

I feel ashamed to say that Wenze is not as open-minded as Bao Yan, dares to take the initiative to socialize, is not afraid of other people's eyes, and is brave enough to be himself.

The lively chatting scene was ended by director Hu Chuan. He came over with a serious face and suppressed the lively scene. Bao Yan ended the chat in a very measured manner.

One sentence was heard on the set: "Good morning, director."

Wen Ze was no exception. Regardless of whether Director Hu looked good or not, or whether he responded or not, he always greeted him politely.

Everyone is doing this, but you can't stand alone and don't fit in with the crowd, otherwise big problems will arise.

I didn't expect the leading actor Qiao Yi to be the last one to arrive on the set, but he had a good attitude and actively admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, director, something happened that delayed me for a while. I will pay attention to it next time."

Director Hu was not angry, his face was still serious, and his tone was normal: "Although you are not late, it will be more suitable to be earlier next time."

After saying this, Qiao Yi said sincerely: "I understand, there is no next time."

This matter just passed, and it was not a big deal.

([-]) Rival play

After all the preparations were in place, the literary drama team A started shooting the first scene of the day, which was a scene opposite Qiao Yi and Shen Meng.

All you can see are majestic pavilions. The pavilion standing in the center of the plum forest is surrounded by pleasant fragrance. The precious solid wood table in the pavilion is equipped with exquisite tea sets and several plates of sweet and delicious pastries.

Wang Lanxi sat on the right side of the wooden table, elegant and composed, staring at the blooming plum blossoms with her beautiful eyes.

Sun Hongyan stood by the railing, tall and straight, looking at the plum blossoms in full bloom in front of him.

They "accidentally met" in the Plum Grove Garden of the third prince Sun Hongxin, avoiding the various people who deliberately climbed up the dragon and attached to the phoenix.

Today is the birthday of the third prince, Sun Hongxin. All the dignitaries and nobles are gathered together, including famous ladies and sons from aristocratic families. It is obviously very lively.

As the second brother of Sun Hongxin, Sun Hongyan will definitely be present to congratulate him to show his brotherhood.

Wang Lanxi, who is the daughter of the Prime Minister, is naturally a distinguished guest and the object of everyone's adulation. Tired of dealing with the continuous flattery and the jealous words of ladies from all over the world, she has no choice but to respond politely and find good reasons to spend time in the fragrance and quiet. The plum garden is breathable.

I never expected to meet the second prince Sun Hongyan here. I just wanted to avoid him, but he opened his mouth to stop him.

"Sister Lan Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time. The scenery here is very pleasant and quiet. How about enjoying the scenery together?" Sun Hongyan acted like a handsome young man and was polite and reserved.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Lanxi responded graciously, bowed naturally and sat down: "Your Highness Lanxi takes the liberty of interrupting, please bear with me."

"No need to be polite. I haven't seen sister Lanxi for a long time, but she has seen a lot of people." She looked at Wang Lanxi with a smile on her face, showing the appearance of a gentleman.

"Your Highness, your words are serious. Lan Xi just abides by the etiquette and does not dare to go beyond it." The corners of her lips were slightly raised, her expression was calm, her manners were standard, and she advanced and retreated in a measured manner.

She smiled softly, seemingly calmly, and did not refute: "Sister Lan Xi is indeed knowledgeable and courteous, and she deserves to be famous in Kyoto. It was Yan Zhi's presumption."

"Lan Xi is ashamed. The world has exaggerated. He cannot bear such a good reputation, so how dare he show his embarrassment in front of His Highness. His Highness cares about the common people, does practical things for the people, and is deeply loved by the people. He is a wise king who wholeheartedly serves the people. ." She looked as if she had suffered it, which did not damage her beautiful appearance at all.

"My sister is too modest. Such high praise is really too much. I just did what I should do." She looked ashamed but spoke firmly, looking up at the clear sky.

"Your Highness is a virtuous man with a far-reaching reputation, yet he is so humble and low-key. Lan Xi feels ashamed." He is worthy of being the prime minister's daughter, and his words of praise are sincere.

The two people's eyes met. Wang Lanxi quickly looked away and looked at the plum blossoms in full bloom in the courtyard.

Sun Hongyan looked at her with a soft expression: "So this is my image in Lan Xi's mind. I'm very happy."

The originally gradually ambiguous scene was completely destroyed by the director's "click".

"You haven't handled your emotions well. You can do better. Do it again."

Director Hu Chuan looked serious, and everyone present remained silent and cooperated with his request.

Shen Meng, who was originally sitting, stood up to relax his muscles and bones, relieve the tension in his body, and stood at the starting position.

Luo Yi had been standing the whole time, and his original upright posture disappeared in an instant. He leaned against the railing to rest for a while, and then resumed his previous standing posture.

Director Hu sat back behind the monitor and said in a normal tone: "Start."

The match recorder stepped forward very discerningly and said: "The second time in the 56th match of "The Order of the Deer"..."

As soon as the snap fell, the actors took their places.

Fortunately, Qiao Yi and Shen Meng got better this time. Both of them were very involved in the scene and reached the emotional state required by Director Hu. The details were also handled very well. The scene was passed.

Wen Ze, who was watching from the sidelines, was worried about the two of them. At the same time, he was afraid that his poor performance would delay the filming progress.

As time passed, it was finally time for Wen Ze and Qiao Yi to play against each other.

Same place, same male protagonist, but the difference is that the female protagonist hasn’t come yet, it’s Yu Heng who comes.

Medicine jar Yu Heng was also invited to celebrate Sun Hongyan's birthday, but he was the isolated one and walked to Meiyuan alone to find some peace and quiet.

While he was in a daze, Sun Hongyan broke his solitude.

"Why do you stay here alone, cousin? Isn't it too lonely?" A clear male voice sounded from behind Yu Heng, and Sun Hongyan walked over.

"Why did my cousin come here to hide in peace? Shouldn't he be chatting with people in front of the hall?" Yu Heng asked Sun Hongyan, who was walking over, with a cold voice and a calm expression.

"My cousin doesn't like talking to others, why don't you allow me to enjoy my leisure time? It's also a good place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the plum garden." He sat on the other side with a calm expression, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Really? This is not my cousin's usual style. It seems that I am ignorant." He looked at the plum blossoms swaying in the wind with an expressionless face, and felt no emotion in his heart.

"My cousin is as cold as ever. I don't know if his health has improved. If necessary, I will find a famous doctor for you. Don't refuse my kindness." He looked at Yu Heng with a natural look, and something flashed through his eyes. It's indescribably complicated, and the tone is extraordinarily serious.

"No matter how much medicine I drink, my body won't get better. I can only hang it up with medicine. That's it. There is no need to worry about it."

"But I will definitely do what I promised, and I will not delay your great cause. I hope you can do what I want." The pale and thin handsome face looked into the distance, his eyes were cold and sharp, and his voice was cold. It seemed to come from heaven without any emotion.

"Don't worry, I will do what I say." His sharp eyes looked into the distance, hiding the determination that he was bound to win. He would definitely not lose.

"Crack!"

"Very well, it's over."

"Take a break for 10 minutes and then shoot the next scene."

The main purpose is to let Qiao Yi take a rest, as he will have to play in the next game so as not to affect his performance.

Another reason is that people have three urgent needs, and Director Hu naturally needs to go to the toilet, and he will disappear soon.

The moment he heard that it was okay, Wenze returned to his original self and returned to his usual youthful self. The sick and weak feeling of Leng Chuchen disappeared without a trace, which surprised Qiao Yi deeply.

Qiao Yi had heard that Wen Ze's drama was very good, but he didn't expect that he could get into and out of the drama so quickly. If it wasn't for a normal relationship, he would have exclaimed, "Okay!"

Wen Ze, who was completely relaxed, did not see Qiao Yi with complicated eyes, and went straight to the corner where Bao Yan and the others were standing. His eyes were full of smiles, and Li Duo came online quietly. The smile with its own beauty effect was full of hurt.

"Wow, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Fortunately, I got through it in one go. I'm really happy."

"Why do you have this expression? Haven't you seen my performance?" His smile faded, his brows furrowed, his face full of suspicion. Wen Ze waved his hand in front of their eyes, and Up's mood dropped significantly.

"Of course we watched your play carefully. We were shocked by your smile."

"Why do you smile so beautifully? It's all your fault."

"The show is pretty good."

After coming back to their senses, Bao Yan, Xie An and Guan Cheng responded differently, echoing their different personalities.

Wen Ze looked disgusted and sighed loudly: "That's enough for you. It's not that exaggerated."

Bao Yan looked disapproving: "If you look in the mirror more often when you smile, you will understand our reaction."

"Hey, why doesn't my smile have this effect? ​​I really envy you, Wenze."

Xie An quickly agreed, with an envious look on his face: "Me too, if my smile was this good-looking, I wouldn't follow the path of dragging my brother."

For the first time, Guan Cheng actually nodded. What happened to this world? Wen Ze was a little confused, whether there was something wrong with him or Bao Yan and the others were abnormal.

If you don't understand it, forget it. It's not something you need to know anyway.

Wenze returned to his normal state, looked at the three of them seriously, and said in a serious tone: "We all have to be in the next scene. It's a group scene. I hope we can all perform well."

Bao Yan is rarely serious and can scare people: "Of course, we are all good."

Xie An, who was standing like a boss, straightened up immediately and transformed into his normal form in seconds: "We can do it."

The aloof Guan Cheng remained aloof and struggled to say two words: "Yes."

End the chat naturally, take out your script, and take a closer look.

Unfortunately, Director Hu, who came back from the toilet, called them over and wanted to talk to them about the positioning. Of course they obeyed the arrangement and did whatever the director arranged for them.

The shooting schedule of the group scenes is indeed difficult, and the positioning is quite complicated. It is definitely a big challenge to complete it in one go.

With the full cooperation of Wen Ze and others, it took three takes before Director Hu was satisfied.

A powerful "passed" instantly liberated everyone. Wen Ze's role in the morning was gone, but he chose to stay and study.

Next came the scene between Qiao Yi and Guan Cheng, and Wen Ze was full of expectations as an audience member.

Qiao Yi's scenes were very busy this morning, and he felt tired just watching them.

Wen Ze was in a happy mood and was very proud of his decision to stay and watch the show.

Because the scenes between Qiao Yi and Guan Cheng, who are evenly matched, are very exciting, and their confrontational aura is very strong. They are worthy of the noble princes, and the sparks of friction are strong enough.

But what pleased Wenze the most was that when it was lunch time, he was feeling unsatisfactoryly hungry and could eat to relieve his forgotten hunger.

Zhuli Liu Zhi was very discerning and had already packed lunches and waited in the dressing room so that Wenze and the others could eat with peace of mind.

Wen Zesheng looked at the sumptuous lunch box with despair. What he could eat was light fried lettuce, fragrant big chicken legs, and delicious braised pork, but he couldn't eat them.

I couldn't live this day, so I could only wipe the tears from the corners of my mouth and give the tempting meat dishes to my assistant Liu Zhi.

He reluctantly stared at Liu Zhi as he feasted, making him feel embarrassed: "Brother Wen, why don't you stop staring at me while I eat, I feel uncomfortable."

Wenze looked miserable and touched the tip of his nose: "I don't want to either, you eat so deliciously."

"Okay, I won't stare at you anymore. You can eat well."

Liu Zhi then continued to eat meat with peace of mind.

Wenze's little move naturally did not escape the notice of Bao Yan and the others, and was ridiculed by them.

There was constant laughter and laughter in the dressing room, and the atmosphere was just right. The young people who were in tune were so simple and happy.

Some people wonder if eating such a small amount will make you hungry?

Wenze would be [-]% sure that he would be hungry.

Some people may then ask, what should I do if I’m hungry?

What Wen Ze could do was of course endure it. If he couldn't bear it anymore, he would drink water to satisfy his hunger.

But don't drink too much water to prevent edema when you wake up the next day. The director will definitely scold him. He doesn't want to be treated like this, so he should leave it to the warriors to enjoy it.

There is no other way. In order to fit the character's personality, of course you have to be tough on yourself. Otherwise, how can you act well and become a good actor?

Wen Ze will not regret being strict with himself, he will only be stricter with himself.
