Chapter 421: Such a Person in the Play

This big guy over 1.8 meters tall, suddenly coming like this with a push of a golden mountain and a collapse of a jade pillar.

Chen Nuo really didn't expect it.

He didn't know whether to say this person was reckless, or a dog. But no matter what, Chinese people often say that one does not hit a smiling person, let alone someone who is kneeling and talking to you.

Originally, those words of course couldn't be said.

However, he had self-knowledge.

Training actresses, he could indeed say he had a hand. But men, he was really not good at it. The technique was not good, and the method was not good, so, it was better to respectfully decline and not mislead the children.

Lin Lin Gengxin walked out of the makeup room with a bitter face.

Originally before going in, he was like a king turtle eating a scale weight, determined. After a morning of ideological struggle, he was bound to achieve his goal.

But, sigh, as soon as he heard someone tell him to stand up, he didn't know what happened, and... sigh, stood up.

How could he be so useless?

Saying do what do what, how could he be so obedient. Although in college, everyone called him Lin Dog Lin Dog, but he wasn't really a dog, right.

Lin Lin Gengxin was annoyed,

As a result, just after coming out, he saw Jiang Jiang Jinfu standing not far away, looking at him in a daze—

"I rely, you..."

Afterward, no matter how Lin Lin Gengxin explained, Jiang Jiang Jinfu wouldn't believe it.

"Brother, from now on you are my brother."

"How is it possible, brother, stop playing with me."

"Don't don't don't, call me Little Jiang in the future."

Lin Lin Gengxin was helpless, but saying things like worshiping a master was really too shameful, and he couldn't possibly open his mouth.

Fortunately, at this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Started filming, started filming, Chen Nuo is out to film."

The set suddenly exploded like a pot. Those brushing their phones, eating breakfast, and chatting in groups, all raised their heads at once, and then without a word, rushed toward that side quickly.

Lin Lin Gengxin and Jiang Jiang Jinfu were the same, immediately ran away.

……

……

Haven't filmed a TV series for a long time, Chen Nuo still had a bit of freshness.

Sticking hair pieces, painting heavy makeup, these things had been a long time since he experienced them. When wearing ancient costumes, he even had a feeling of dreaming back to *The Return of the Condor Heroes*.

Arriving at the scene, Li Dao Zhang Guoli saw him, was stunned for a moment, and then didn't know what happened, immediately laughed.

Although he didn't understand what was funny, he also smiled at the other party and said: "Li Dao, sorry for the wait."

Li Zhang Guoli shook his head: "No, no."

After speaking, he looked him up and down, touched the small beard under his chin, and smiled: "Then I'll call Liu Shishi over, let's talk about today's scene first, what do you think?"

Chen Nuo of course had no objection, nodded: "Good."

Liu Liu Shishi, who was waiting in the rest area under the palace eaves, heard the deputy director call her name, knew the other party was ready, stood up, and said: "President Cai, then I'll go over."

Cai Cai Yinong beside her nodded: "Good, go."

Liu Liu Shishi walked two steps, and heard Cai Cai Yinong calling her from behind: "Liu Shishi." She turned her head, saw Cai Cai Yinong make a fist gesture at her, and said: "Come on!"

Liu Liu Shishi returned her a smile and nodded: "Hmm!"

As a result, Liu Liu Shishi found herself even more nervous.

Usually before filming, she was used to going through the content she was going to act today in her brain, but now, her brain was full of what Cai Cai Yinong said to her, what "the best opportunity in this life," "the whole world will know her," "step to the sky" blah blah blah.

What to do?

She walked into the side hall where the director's monitor was located. There were already quite a few people surrounding it, several deputy directors, executive, lighting, art, and makeup people, including Tang Yan, Lin Lin Gengxin, Jiang Jiang Jinfu, they were all here, only Hu Ge didn't know where he went.

A man wearing armor and half-draped long hair, standing tall, was slightly sideways, his hand supporting the hilt of the prop sword at his waist, talking to Li Dao who had a full beard.

When she walked in, many people looked over, including Li Zhang Guoli, who immediately waved at her.

She responded with a smile, lifted her skirt, and walked quickly toward that side.

At this moment, the man wearing armor also turned around and looked at her.

Liu Liu Shishi's footsteps stopped immediately.

She finally understood what those people around were looking at, what they were whispering about, and what they were excited about.

One raised eyebrow, one lifted eye.

Made her in this instant, in her originally blank brain, suddenly remember a paragraph she saw in the script not long ago.

Not today's scene, but six scenes added in the new script after the screenwriters revised the draft, among which was the first one about their first meeting.

The screenwriters wrote this:

"In the darkness, a group of soldiers and horses from nowhere surrounded Chen Jingchou and others.

A figure rode a horse, came out from the crowd, and asked: 'Who are you? Where do you come from?'

Chen Chen Jingchou (trying to be calm): 'None of your business? Who are you?'

That vigorous figure didn't speak, pulled the reins and clamped his legs, letting the horse under his crotch run a few steps closer.

Afterward, in the red light of the bonfire, he revealed a face of unparalleled handsomeness, making everyone present hold their breath in unison, all thinking in their hearts: How can there be such a man in the world.

The knight on the horse didn't speak.

Tuoba Yu'er: 'Who exactly are you!?'

The soldiers behind him began to shout in unison.

The fanatical sound echoed in the vast wilderness of black pressure.

'The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast,

Iron clothes and cold moon reflect the sharpness,

A battle against the wind breaks the mountains and rivers,

The proud son of heaven, Helian Cang!'

Hearing the end, the faces of Chen Jingchou and Yu'er changed greatly. So, he is the famous Helian Cang. Didn't expect, he was so young."

Liu Liu Shishi had been fantasizing in her brain when she saw this paragraph in the script, how he would act when playing Helian Cang, to be able to act out the feeling of being stunning to the whole audience as soon as he appeared.

This doubt, now solved.

It turns out the answer is so simple.

No need to act.

Some people stand there, and they are the wind and flowers of a thousand years, the moon and snow of ten thousand years, just such a person in the play.

……

……

The character Chen Nuo played in *Zhang Xuan-Yuan Sword 3* was named Helian Cang.

A descendant of the Xianbei, he was a commander at 17, arrogant and taciturn, but had extremely strong battlefield prestige, strict in commanding the army, and ruthless in fighting. He once helped the Sui Dynasty in the Battle of Liuchi Pass, turning the tide against the wind, and defeating the Turkic vanguard army, thus becoming famous all over the world.

But he superficially was loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but in fact, he had the ambition to restore the country. After meeting Chen Chen Jingchou and Yu'er, he was involved in the chaos of Jiuyitai and gradually shook his original intention.

In the end, to protect Chen Jingchou and others to break out, he fought the Demon Lord alone, and died in the snowy night of Black Wind Ridge in the north of the Great Wall, his war horse covering his corpse, his long sword still held, his corpse not falling for three days.

—After that battle, the name Helian Cang spread everywhere, hailed as a human hero, but it became a swan song.

In the script of *Scar of Sky* in this life, the screenwriting team led by Deng Deng Liqi finally arranged such a role for Chen Nuo.

Fabricated out of thin air, completely original. It had nothing to do with the *Scar of Sky* game. Similarly, the appearance was also very abrupt, without head or tail, just in episode 34, before the finale, after Yu'er was poisoned by the Heart-Eating Gu and Chen Jingchou went to Kunlun to seek medicine alone.

The original setting of this episode was Chen Jingchou encountering an attack by the remnants of the demon race on the way, almost seriously injured.

As a result, it was changed to Chen Jingchou, Yu'er, and Yuwen Tuo having just escaped, when they were ambushed in the wilderness, Helian Cang led his troops to appear, strongly suppressing the whole scene, and capturing all three back.

The scene to be filmed today was Helian Cang capturing Chen Jingchou and Yu'er and others back to his own military tent.

Yu'er was currently not fully recovered from her injuries, and was injured in the previous fight, so she was unconscious. Helian Cang learned Yu'er's identity from Chen Jingchou's mouth, so he came to visit.

In the lens, the light in the tent was dim and yellow, the oil lamp held a red wick, beside the table were a few spread out military maps, and in the corner were a few broken arrows and shoulder guards stained with blood.

Chen Nuo stood tall, his armor not yet taken off, still with blood stains, a strand of long hair hanging on his cheek, his eyes like ink, looking quietly at the woman unconscious in the tent.

The thick animal skin curtain blocked the howling night wind outside, but couldn't block the chill in people's hearts.

He stood in the middle of this, like a statue that had lost its life.

Li Zhang Guoli in front of the monitor said to Liang Liang Shengquan beside him: "God-like and jade-like."

Liang Liang Shengquan was a Hong Konger, and had cooperated with Tang Ren many times, and was also very familiar with Li Zhang Guoli. Hearing this, he laughed: "Yes, if *Scarlet Heart* asked him to act..."

Li Zhang Guoli imagined it, laughed twice, shook his head, and said: "Don't dare to think, don't dare to think."

After laughing, he turned his gaze back to the monitor, staring at the man in the picture who seemed to be naturally formed, without any extra movements, and was actually a bit dazed for a while.

—What is called drama sense.

This is called drama sense.

This is the thing flowing out from the bones of the recognized best performer in China in the last 50 years. No one can learn it.

Upon learning that the girl injured by his own hands was actually the Second Princess of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe.

Chen Nuo was as cold as frost, standing in front of the couch, staring for a long time.

In this process, he was motionless, as if petrified. From the big close-up, only a pair of eyes could be seen moving extremely slightly.

Afterward, Chen Nuo leaned over, slowly took off the cloak for Liu Liu Shishi, tucked the quilt for her, and afterward, his fingertips pretended to be unintentional and touched her temple lightly.

After this action, Liu Liu Shishi woke up in surprise, grabbed his wrist with one hand, full of vigilance, preparing to say her lines.

Just at this time.

She heard a "Cut!" Li Zhang Guoli said to the walkie-talkie, and behind her, a "Whoosh" came in unison, as if the surrounding audience were holding their breath, and only now did they let out a breath.

Li Zhang Guoli didn't care, and turned his head: "Go talk to Liu Shishi about the scene?"

Liang Liang Shengquan said: "What do I say?"

Li Zhang Guoli thought for a while, and said: "Just say... this reaction after serious injury, she has to act it out, right? When letting her grab, be lighter, slower, don't be so energetic."

"Okay."

Liang Liang Shengquan agreed and went.

Li Zhang Guoli turned his head and took a look, a bit surprised to see that besides the original few actors, Hu Ge, who wasn't there before, didn't know when he came over, standing alone on the side, looking from afar.

Li Zhang Guoli understood why this person was performing like this.

Since the car accident injury, he had undergone surgery countless times, but until now, the scars on his face and corners of his eyes were hard to cover up no matter how he put on makeup. Therefore, he was a bit unnatural when meeting before, and now being able to overcome the inferiority complex and walk here could be considered quite good.

He waved his hand and said: "Lin Gengxin, Little Hu, Little Tang, you come over."

His gaze slid past Lin Lin Gengxin and Jiang Jiang Jinfu beside him, seeing Jiang Jiang Jinfu talking incessantly about something, while Lin Lin Gengxin remained in his usual wooden, dazed state.

"No extra, just in the eyes, see, just the right emotion."

"This is not what I taught, I don't have this ability, it all depends on others' own comprehension. How long since getting the script? One hour, and thought of how to act. This is really awesome."

"In the future, if you want to develop on the film platform, these are basic skills. This time is also a rare learning opportunity. Think about it, when do you want to watch him film again next time?"

"So you guys, come to the scene whether you have scenes or not these two days, watch right here with me, learn as much as you can, know that?"

"Yes!" Tang Yan, Lin Lin Gengxin, Hu Ge all answered quite seriously.

Only Jiang Jiang Jinfu mumbled his mouth, didn't make a sound, only his eyes fell on the screen, full of envy.

……

With a "Start."

The second filming of the day began.

"See that? See that!" Li Zhang Guoli pointed at the screen and said, "There is an extra action here, this is better than the first time."

"Why, Li Dao?"

"Finish watching first."

Soon the two in the picture acted to the part just now, seeing Liu Liu Shishi open her eyes, trembling and reaching out to grab Chen Nuo's arm, Li Zhang Guoli blinked hard, and called out again: "Cut."

Looked at Liang Liang Shengquan, and said: "Director Liang, still trouble you to go and talk, tell Liu Shishi to stop being so nervous, it's the feeling of being injured, not the feeling of an 80-year-old lady."

"

Soon, the two in the frame were acting out that same segment again. Seeing Liu Liu Shishi open her eyes and tremblingly reach out to grab Chen Nuo's arm, Li Zhang Guoli blinked hard and called out, "Cut."

He looked at Liang Liang Shengquan and said, "Director Liang, I'm sorry to trouble you again, but please go tell Liu Shishi not to be so nervous. It's supposed to be the feeling of being injured, not the feeling of an 80-year-old lady."

"Got it."

Liang Liang Shengquan went over again.

Only then did Li Zhang Guoli turn back to say to Tang Yan, "This is the difference between film and television. In film, there are many times when less is more, but television is different. First, the target audience is different, and second, the level of concentration the audience watches with is also different..."

The third take.

Li Zhang Guoli was very pleased to see that Liu Liu Shishi had made some progress; it should be said that it was at a level that could pass.

But he still didn't hesitate to call—"Cut!"

Otherwise what?

This is an opportunity bought for 43 million.

There are only 6 scenes in total.

The price per scene filmed for this person is as high as over 7 million!

If he passed it in two or three takes.

That would simply be a crime, okay?

Why was no other work scheduled for this morning, just to film this one scene?

It was all with the firm intention that these six scenes must be perfected! Not for him, but for their own actress.

Li Zhang Guoli said, "Director Liang, I'm sorry to trouble you to go explain it again. Relax, let Liu Shishi relax more. Her expression is too tense; I find it uncomfortable just watching it on the monitor."

Liang Liang Shengquan: "Got it."

The fourth take.

Liu Liu Shishi's progress was even greater; her expression was finally natural, and there was some sense of relaxation.

"Cut!"

"Director Liang, I'm sorry to trouble you to go explain it again."

"Got it."

The fifth take.

This time, the hurdle of grabbing the arm was finally passed.

However, after the ensuing dialogue, Li Zhang Guoli was still merciless: "Cut!"

"Director Liang, go explain it."

"Got it."

The sixth take.

"Cut!"

"Director Liang, you go?"

"Got it."

The seventh take.

"Cut."

"Director Liang?"

"Got it."

The eighth take.

"Cut!"

"..."

"Got it."

"... Wait, Director Liang, where are you going? I think it's about right, don't you?" Li Zhang Guoli said.

Liang Liang Shengquan turned back and said, "About right?"

Li Zhang Guoli nodded and said, "Yes. What do you think? I feel Liu Shishi has improved a lot."

Liang Liang Shengquan let out an 'oh' and thought to himself, what the hell is the difference. He sat his butt back on the stool and smiled, "It is quite a lot. So that's it? Passed?"

"Yeah, let's pass it."

"Haven't experienced it before?" Chen Nuo said to the woman in front of him with a smile.

"No, no I haven't." Liu Liu Shishi managed a strained smile.

"No wonder."

"I'm sorry, I've been holding you up the whole time. Really, I'm sorry," Liu Liu Shishi said earnestly.

Chen Nuo waved his hand and said, "It's fine, it's just filming; there are plenty of times when we NG. It's only been a few times, you'll get used to it."

Liu Liu Shishi was just about to ask how to get used to it, but Chen Nuo said bye and turned to leave.

She watched the man's back.

Honestly, although it was her first time NG-ing eight times in a row, she didn't find it difficult to endure.

Even though they filmed eight times in a row, and even though she could clearly perceive her own mistakes, nervousness, and lack of polish each time, under that man's guidance, she didn't feel awkward at all, and didn't even feel the usual shame of "messing up."

Because he was too stable.

Not just the stability of his movements, but the stability of his emotions.

Although Director Liang didn't say anything each time he came over, this also made her know more and more how to act.

For the first time, this made her, an actress with a dance background, feel the joy of acting.

However, when she spoke about this feeling to a friend on the phone that night, she didn't get the response she expected.

A somewhat low voice came from the other side of the phone, carrying a hint of sarcasm: "How could a truly great actor let you film so many times? They would lead you through it, just like when we collaborated before. If you didn't know how to act, I would lead you, and it would pass very quickly. He let you film so many times and you're still praising him? Are you blind?"

Blind?

The other party had always appeared gentle and refined in front of her, but now that they said this, Liu Liu Shishi immediately felt uncomfortable.

The receiver continued: "You're still young and don't understand what a truly good actor is. If you have a chance to come to Taiwan in the future, I'll take you to see what a truly great one is..."

Although Liu Liu Shishi was gentle by nature and had never been a competitive person, at this moment, she couldn't help but interrupt: "Truly great? Like Ang Lee? But Chen Nuo isn't a director! Which Taiwanese actor has ever won an Oscar? Alright, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight!"

"Hey, wait a second, Liu Shishi!"

Liu Liu Shishi hung up the phone and muted it.

The man she had actually felt quite good about in her heart just now made her hesitate because of that performance. Did she really misjudge him? Could she really be blind?

Liu Liu Shishi thought about it until she fell asleep.

Although she knew tomorrow would definitely be a longer ordeal than today, at the moment before falling asleep, she still felt a faint sense of anticipation in her heart.
