Chapter 129: Eagle-eyed and Wolf-hearted, the Gentleman Changes Like a Leopard

Before joining the cast of *Princess Agents*, Bai Liang naturally didn’t forget his basic professional ethics.

Whether it was the script or the original novel, he had flipped through them many times and studied them carefully.

Hmm... the original novel was still a bit yellow and violent.

The fight descriptions were very bloody, and even the female lead’s "first time" "fight" was written quite carefully.

Bai Liang read it over and over again, trying to understand the true meaning.

However, after finishing the original novel and the adapted script, Bai Liang had some understanding of this type of "big heroine" script.

Removing the unimportant elements where "everyone loves the female lead," Bai Liang had a great interest in the character "Yan Xun" he was to play.

He felt that in the whole story, Yan Xun was the most full-bodied and angular character.

"The crown prince Yan Xun, fresh clothes and angry horses; he was once the brightest youth in Chang’ancheng."

However, after the Wei Emperor persecuted his whole family at the Nine Nether Platform, Yan Xun’s personality began to change step by step, eventually becoming a ruthless emperor with great ambition.

Sent to Chang’ancheng as a hostage since childhood, he had always lived a carefree and free life.

He had friends like the noble family son Yuwen Yue and the prince Yuan Song, had been favored by the princess since childhood, and had his own status as the heir to the Dingbei Marquis.

These internal advantages and resources made Yan Xun show a sense of freedom and ease that was completely opposite to the male lead’s deep personality when he first appeared.

However, Bai Liang skipped this part directly and didn’t put much effort into studying it.

Free and easy? Did this thing need to be acted?

And the Nine Nether Platform scene was the climax of the whole drama. Because of the Wei Emperor’s suspicion of the Dingbei Marquis, coupled with the instigation of treacherous officials and the secret promotion of the Liang Kingdom, Yan Xun’s family was exterminated by framing.

Recognizing the bodies at the Nine Nether Platform, watching the tragic death of his family, Yan Xun suffered an unprecedented blow, and then his mother crashing to death on the Nine Nether Platform became the last straw that broke him.

However, the Wei Emperor’s persecution had not yet ended. On the surface, he pardoned him, but secretly he instigated major families to assassinate him.

On one hand, he had to guard against assassins day and night, and on the other hand, he had to secretly cultivate his own power to escape Chang’ancheng.

Three years of dormancy in the Yingge Courtyard.

A super big change appeared in this character.

Good, good, good! Rebel! Bai Liang liked it too much!

He had long wanted to rebel!

The character Emperor Liu Bian in *God of War Zhao Zilong* had kept Bai Liang thinking about it for a long time.

That was an emperor~

As a result, in the new year, as if to make up for this "regret," the two dramas he received were both characters that were somewhat similar.

Yan Xun in *Princess Agents* was the King of Yanbei, rebelling, slaughtering the city, turning from a bright youth into a ruthless monarch.

The male lead number two, Donghua Dijun, in *Eternal Love* was slightly worse, in charge of the life and death of the six realms, the former master of the world, ranked higher than the Heavenly King... this thing made Bai Liang feel too empty.

Actually, what he wanted to play most was an emperor with a name, surname, and deeds in history.

Still, the two of them combined can at least satisfy the craving.

Oh right, the character Donghua Dijun was not originally the male lead number two, but Jiaxing’s purpose was mainly to let Bai Liang and Dilireba pair up for the second time.

Reba played Bai Fengjiu who liked Donghua Dijun~

So they added a little bit of scenes, and then promised: at that time, this character’s ranking would be the male lead number two.

——

I don’t know if the director was intentional, or if he also didn’t like Bai Liang, but the first scene on the first day of filming was arranged to challenge Bai Liang with a scene reflecting Yan Xun’s change in mentality.

This arrangement was obviously a bit unreasonable. Normal crews, just after starting filming, for a good start, usually have to find a simple scene to film, preferably once through.

But this time, they went against the grain and picked a very difficult one.

Challenging this thing was Bai Liang, a little newbie from a wild background~

The fact that he had only debuted for a year was not a secret; basically everyone knew.

Even Zhao Liying, who seemed to have an opinion on Bai Liang, asked a question and mentioned it to the director.

Expressing that this was a bit inappropriate.

Is this putting so much pressure on people right from the start?

As a result, director Wu Jingyuan said: "I’ve heard old friends praise this kid, saying he was born to eat this bowl of acting rice, and I just want to see if it’s really that magical."

Zhao Liying: Really or fake?

She was half-believing and half-doubting. On one hand, she felt that the director didn’t need to fool her on this, even if Bai Liang might be a resource person.

After all, what is the point of a lie that breaks at a touch?

But this statement was too exaggerated. God feeds you rice?

The last actor described like this won all the awards! Their group of 85-flowers with full popularity and traffic didn’t dare to touch porcelain.

Oh right, that person was also from a wild background.

It seems that some actors with special spiritual energy in acting must not have been "polluted" by the academic school.

Zhao Liying: I’m not from an academic school either...

As for the so-called pressure, Wu Jingyuan said that old friends also said that this kid doesn’t take any pressure, you just tell him what effect you need him to act.

To be honest, for this kind of player who understands "human words," most directors are quite fond of them.

If you meet Wong Kar-wai, it’s probably mutual torture.

As everyone knows, Wong Kar-wai plays with stream of consciousness when filming, and is "hypnotizing" you there.

But Bai Liang actually doesn’t need this kind of method of entering the play and feeling. The clearer the director says, the more accurate the performance he can feed back.

If the director’s level is not good and can’t say why, then our Bai Daxian will play as he wants.

In short, it’s a main hit that can be used as soon as it’s used, and everyone says it’s good!

It can satisfy the young ladies, and it can also satisfy the directors.

Bai Liang himself naturally wouldn’t have much reaction to what scenes the crew arranged to film.

Just film whatever you want~

It’s just that he put forward a "small opinion" when putting on makeup, "Don’t need to be so heavy, right?"

"Teacher Bai, a little smoky makeup feeling can better express the character’s blackening." The makeup young lady said the original words arranged by the director.

Acting is not enough, makeup is added, which is a relatively common way in the film and television circle.

Some makeup naturally comes with a certain sense of vision.

Even the audience can see through this thing, oh~ this person’s clothes color has darkened, smoky makeup is on, he is going to blacken!

But Bai Liang obviously doesn’t need it.

He didn’t make things difficult for the makeup artist, and directly fed back his thoughts to the director.

Director Wu Jingyuan: Good! Let him decide for himself.

Anyway, it’s just started filming, he is just very curious, is it really as magical as Lin Yufen, Yuan Yinming, and Jiang Jiazun blew.

There is also a circle among directors. When they meet some particularly easy-to-use actors, they will naturally communicate with each other.

It’s also a coincidence that the directors of the dramas Bai Liang has filmed in the year since he entered the circle are basically from Hong Kong.

Or rather, in the current domestic TV drama director field, these Hong Kong directors still have quite a market.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... book... bar...!

Everyone comes to the mainland to develop, and there must be communication and small groups among them.

So even if Wu Jingyuan had no communication with Bai Liang before, and just chatted about the script when he decided on the role, he still "knew" Bai Liang very well.

There is "good" feedback from peers!

Someone even directly reminded him of another role of Bai Liang: use this kid as a catfish.

Directly preemptive, putting heavy pressure on other actors in the crew!

Therefore, this first scene is not at all the pressure on Bai Liang that others see, and Wu Jingyuan is not trying to make things difficult for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to his request to change makeup.

However, all this is based on the premise that Bai Liang really has a level. If he pulls it today, then really pull a big one in public.

The goal can be directly changed to killing chickens and monkeys! Fiercely establish the director’s prestige.

In a crew with big names, many things can’t be played by the director alone, even if the domestic film and television circle is director-centered.

So, Wu Jingyuan looked at the crew’s on-site layout, and muttered in his heart: Kid, you must stand up!

"Watching Daxian film~"

Wang Yanlin and others waited for the fun with a smile, each expression quite relaxed.

Li Qin, who had done makeup in advance, looked at these people, full of question marks in her heart: "The first scene is very difficult, can he hold it?"

"I suggest you be mentally prepared, I’m afraid you can’t hold Daxian."

This statement has a suspicion of driving, Li Qin glared at these stinky men angrily.

She has debuted for so many years and acted in so many dramas, how could she not hold it?

And she felt that the character Yuan Chun was too suitable for her!

From makeup to the miserable character setting, she just poked there and the taste came.

Although she didn’t want to admit that her appearance was a bit bitter, Li Qin was still very satisfied with her character.

It’s a pity it’s only the female lead number two.

The specific time point of this scene is before Yan Xun and Yuan Chun’s wedding.

From the lines and length, it is simple. Yuan Chun, played by Li Qin, is full of joy and looking forward to the upcoming big wedding, while Yan Xun is already preparing to rebel.

When Bai Liang walked out of the makeup rack after changing clothes, although the others on the scene were not exaggerated enough to gasp, they couldn’t help but praise in their hearts: What a young man!

A white dress, eyebrows raised, full of ambition.

Except for the three layers of snow on the monarch’s body, who in the world is worthy of white clothes.

Why can costume dramas pull out a bunch of "inner entertainment ugly men"?

In all types of dramas, costume idols have the highest requirements for actors’ appearance.

Looking handsome doesn’t necessarily mean acting handsome, but if you look a little ugly, it’s really easy to expose shortcomings.

Fortunately, Bai Liang can hold it~

Even if Yan Xun’s hairstyle design is actually a bit grassland style, it is suppressed by his own appearance. Before riding a horse, he is a noble son.

No~

Bai Liang suddenly felt that he shouldn’t be like this, he had to enter the character quickly.

A bit of adjustment... add a bit of melancholy, add a bit of decadence, and add a few points of forbearance. It’s done.

As a result, the high-spirited son just now disappeared directly.

Wu Jingyuan: Good, good, good! It’s the feeling of being able to change people.

Even if it hasn’t started filming yet, with Bai Liang’s current hand, he has already believed the blind blowing of other directors.

Zhao Liying, who was standing next to him, originally had round eyes, but now she widened them a bit more.

This kid... is a bit evil!

There are many preparations before filming, but when it really starts filming, there are actually not many lines.

Mainly it was all said by Yuan Chun, played by Li Qin.

Yan Xun, played by Bai Liang, showed a seemingly gentle smile on his face, echoing her... behind him was Chu Qiao, played by Zhao Liying, acting as a background board.

After he turned around, the camera on the scene pushed a big close-up directly to Bai Liang’s face.

Specifically watching the changes in the eyes.

With a slow look back, several lenses were firmly locked.

That pair of gentle phoenix eyes seemed to change color in an instant.

Eagle-eyed and wolf-hearted, the gentleman changes like a leopard.

The bright young man in Chang’ancheng embarked on the road of a revenge careerist.
