Chapter 131: Eagle-eyed Wolf-looking, the Gentleman Changes Like a Leopard
Before joining the *Princess Agents* crew, Bai Liang certainly didn't forget his basic professional qualities.
Whether it was the script or the original work, he flipped through them many times and studied them carefully.
Hmm... the original work is somewhat yellow and violent.
The fighting descriptions are very bloody, and even the heroine's "first time" "fight" is written quite carefully.
Bai Liang read it many times, trying to understand the true meaning.
However, after reading the original work and the adapted script, Bai Liang had some understanding of this kind of big heroine book.
Excluding those unimportant elements where "everyone loves the heroine," Bai Liang had great interest in the "Yan Xun" character he was going to play.
He felt that in the whole story, this character Yan Xun was the fullest and most angular.
"The son Yan Xun, fresh clothes and angry horses, he was once the brightest teenager in Chang'an City."
However, after the Wei Emperor persecuted his whole family on the Nine Nether Platform, the character of Yan Xun began to change step by step, and finally became a ruthless monarch with quite a lot of ambition.
Sent to Chang'an City as a hostage since childhood, he had always lived a carefree and free life.
He had good friends like the noble family son Yuwen Yue and the prince Yuan Song, was favored by the princess since childhood, and had his own status as the son of the Dingbei Marquis.
These internal advantages and resources made Yan Xun show a kind of detachment and freedom that was completely opposite to the male lead's deep character when he appeared.
However, Bai Liang skipped this part directly and didn't put much effort into studying it.
Detached and free? Does this stuff still need to be acted?
And the Nine Nether Platform scene is considered the climax of the whole drama. Because of the Wei Emperor's suspicion of the Dingbei Marquis, plus the instigation of treacherous officials and the secret promotion of the Liang Kingdom, he exterminated Yan Xun's family by framing them.
Recognizing the bodies on the Nine Nether Platform, watching the tragic death of his family, Yan Xun suffered an unprecedented blow, and then his mother hitting her head and dying on the Nine Nether Platform became the last straw that crushed him.
However, the Wei Emperor's persecution hadn't ended yet. 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 forces to escape from Chang'an City.
Three years of dormancy in the Yingge Small Courtyard.
This character has a super big change.
Good, good, good! Rebel! Bai Liang likes it too much!
He had long wanted to rebel!
At that time, the character of Emperor Liu Bian in *God of War Zhao Zilong* made Bai Liang miss it for a long time.
That's an emperor~
As a result, in the new year, it seems that to make up for this "regret" of his, he received two dramas that were somewhat similar characters.
Yan Xun in *Princess Agents* is the King of Yanbei, rebelling, slaughtering the city, turning from a bright teenager into a ruthless monarch.
The male second lead Donghua Dijun in *Eternal Love* is slightly worse, managing the life and death of the six realms, once the master of heaven and earth, ranked higher than the Heavenly King... this stuff made Bai Liang feel too empty.
Actually, what he most wanted to play was an emperor in history with a name and deeds.
But these two combined can be considered to be able to satisfy the addiction.
Oh right, this character of Donghua Dijun wasn't originally the male second lead, but Jiaxing's purpose was mainly to let Bai Liang and Dilireba cooperate for the second time.
Sister Reba's character Bai Fengjiu likes Donghua Dijun~
So a little bit of scenes were added, and then promised: when the time comes, the ranking of this character will be the male second lead.
——
I don't know if the director was intentional, or also looked at Bai Liang unpleasantly. The first scene on the first day of filming was arranged to challenge Bai Liang with a scene that reflected Yan Xun's mentality change.
This arrangement obviously seemed a bit unreasonable. Normally, when a crew just starts filming, for the sake of a good start, they generally have to find a simpler scene to film, preferably passing it once.
But this time they went against the grain and picked a very difficult one.
The one challenging this stuff was Bai Liang, this little rookie from the wild background~
The fact that he had only debuted for a year wasn't a secret, and basically everyone knew it.
Even Zhao Liying, who seemed to have opinions about Bai Liang, asked a question and mentioned it to the director.
Indicating that this was a bit inappropriate.
Is this giving people so much pressure right from the start?
As a result, director Wu Jingyuan indicated: "I heard an old friend praise this kid, saying he was born to eat this bowl of rice as an actor, and I just wanted to see if it was really that magical."
Zhao Liying: Really?
She was half-believing and half-doubting. On one hand, she felt the director didn't need to fool her on this, even if Bai Liang might be a resource guy.
After all, what's the point of saying a lie that breaks at a poke.
But this statement was too exaggerated. God feeding rice to eat?
The last actor described like this took 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's as if some actors who are particularly spiritual in acting must not have been "polluted" by the academy school.
Zhao Liying: I'm also not from the academy school...
As for the so-called giving pressure, Wu Jingyuan indicated that the old friend also said that this kid doesn't take any pressure, you just tell him what effect you need him to act out.
Honestly, for this kind of player who understands "human words," most directors are quite fond of them.
If you run into someone like Wong Kar-wai, it's estimated to be mutual torture.
As everyone knows, Wong Kar-wai plays with stream of consciousness when filming, giving you "hypnosis" there.
But Bai Liang actually doesn't need this kind of method of entering the play and feeling. The clearer the director speaks, the more accurate the performance Bai Liang can feed back.
If the director's level isn't good and can't say why, then our Bai Daxian can play however he wants.
In short, the main style is that it can be used as soon as it's used, and everyone says it's good after using it!
Can satisfy the young lady, and can also satisfy the directors.
Bai Liang himself certainly wouldn't have too much reaction to what the crew arranged to film.
Just film whatever is asked~
It's just that he put forward a little "small opinion" when putting on makeup, "Doesn't it have to be so heavy?"
"Teacher Bai, a little smoky makeup feeling is better to express the darkening of the character," the makeup young lady said the original words arranged by the director.
Acting is not enough, makeup comes to make up for it; this is a relatively common way of playing in the film and television circle.
Some makeup looks naturally come with a certain sense of déjà vu.
Even the audience can see it through this stuff, oh~ this person's clothes color has become dark, smoky makeup is on, he's going to darken!
However, Bai Liang obviously doesn't need it.
He didn't make things difficult for the makeup artist young lady either, and directly fed back his thoughts to the director.
Director Wu Jingyuan: Good! Let him decide for himself.
Anyway, it's just the start of filming, and he's just very curious, is it really as magical as Lin Yufen, Yuan Yinming, and Jiang Jiajun blew it to be.
There are circles among directors, and when they meet actors who are particularly easy to use, of course, they will communicate with each other.
It's also a coincidence that the directors of the dramas Bai Liang has filmed since entering the circle this year are basically from Hong Kong.
Or it can be said that in the current domestic TV drama director field, this group of Hong Kong directors still has quite a market.
Please... you... collect 6... 9... book... bar...!
Everyone comes to the mainland to develop, and there must be communication among each other, and there are also small groups.
So even if Wu Jingyuan hadn't had any communication with Bai Liang before, and only chatted about the script simply when setting the role, he was still "very knowledgeable" about Bai Liang.
There is "good feedback" from peers!
Someone even directly reminded him of another function of Bai Liang: use this kid as a catfish.
Directly preemptive, giving other actors in the crew a fierce pressure!
Therefore, this first scene wasn't giving Bai Liang pressure as others saw, and Wu Jingyuan wasn't trying to make things difficult for him either.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to his request to change the makeup.
However, all this is based on the premise that Bai Liang really has the level. If he pulls it today, then really just pull a big one in public.
The goal can be directly changed to killing the chicken to warn the monkey! Fiercely establish the director's prestige.
In a crew with big names, many things can't be played as a one-man show even by the director, even if the domestic film and television circle is director-centered.
Therefore, Wu Jingyuan looked at the layout of the crew's scene and also muttered in his heart: Kid, you must hold up, oh!
"Watching Daxian film, oh~"
Wang Yanlin and others laughed and waited to watch the fun, each expression quite relaxed.
Li Xin, who had made the makeup early, looked at these people, full of question marks in her heart: "The first scene is very difficult, can he hold it?"
"I suggest you prepare mentally, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold Daxian."
This statement had a suspicion of driving, and Li Xin glared at this group of stinky men unhappily.
She has debuted for so many years and acted in so many dramas, how could she not hold it?
And she felt that this character Yuan Chun was too suitable for her!
From makeup to the pitiful character setting, the flavor came as soon as she poked there.
Although she didn't want to admit that her appearance had such a bit of bitterness, Li Xin was still very satisfied with her character.
It's a pity it's only the female second lead.
The specific time point of this scene is before the wedding of Yan Xun and Yuan Chun.
From the lines and duration, it's considered simple. Li Xin, who plays Yuan Chun, is full of joy and looking forward to the upcoming wedding, while Yan Xun has already prepared to rebel.
When Bai Liang, who played Yan Xun, walked out after changing his clothes from the makeup rack, the others on the scene didn't gasp as exaggeratedly, but they couldn't help but praise in their hearts: What a young man!
Dressed in white, eyebrows raised, satisfied with his 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 "ugly men in the inner entertainment"?
Among all types of dramas, the requirements for actors' appearance in ancient idols can be said to be the highest.
Looking very handsome doesn't necessarily mean acting very 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 was pressed by his own appearance. Before riding a horse, he was a noble son.
No~
Bai Liang suddenly felt that he shouldn't be like this, he had to enter the character quickly.
Some adjustments... add some melancholy, add some decadence, and add a few points of forbearance... all set.
And so, the high-spirited young master just now disappeared.
Wu Jingyuan: Good, good, good! This is the feeling of being able to change people.
Even if it hadn't started filming yet, just this hand of Bai Liang, he already believed the blowing of other directors.
Zhao Liying, who was standing next to him, originally had round eyes, and now she widened them a few more points.
This kid... is a bit strange!
There are many preparations before filming, but when it officially started, there were actually not many lines in total.
Mainly, they were all spoken by Yuan Chun, played by Li Xin.
Yan Xun, played by Bai Liang, had 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 staring at the change of eyes.
With a slow turn of the head, several cameras locked firmly.
That pair of gentle phoenix eyes seemed to change color in an instant.
Eagle-eyed Wolf-looking, the Gentleman Changes Like a Leopard.
The bright young man of Chang'an City embarked on the road of a revenge careerist.
