Therefore, when most TV dramas first start filming, they don't shoot the opening scenes; instead, they pick scenes from the middle to film. They want to use the best state after getting in sync to shoot the most important opening shots, thereby attracting the audience to keep watching. It’s the same principle as the first three chapters of a web novel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min were both veteran directors, and they could see clearly on the monitor; whether an actor was in the zone or not was obvious at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong nodded, but did not echo Yu Min's words, \"I just hope his back is fine. We're filming here for over a month, with over 100 scenes. He'll find his state sooner or later; his health is what's most important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first scene between Liu Yifei and Chen Nuo was the day after Chen Nuo fell from his horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't a major scene; it was after Little Dragon Maiden and Yang Guo escaped the Ancient Tomb due to Li Mochou's pursuit, and they had built a small wooden hut on a meadow outside the tomb, living and practicing martial arts there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yifei sat on a swing built on-site; in the distance were snow-capped mountains, nearby was a lush green meadow, winding blue water flowed not far away, overhead were shady green pines, and at her feet, flowers were in full bloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that they were all plastic fake flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo sat on the steps outside the wooden hut and said happily, \"Auntie, the wooden hut is already built. In another ten days or half a month, when your injuries heal, we can go down the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yifei's expression was indifferent: \"But our Jade Maiden Heart Sutra hasn't been finished yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, revealing a thoughtful expression, and then a complex emotion emerged in his eyes. He whispered, \"Then... let's finish practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra before going down the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yifei still said with an indifferent expression, \"Since we have the Nine Yin Manual in the Ancient Tomb that surpasses the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, if we don't practice it well, what will we do if we encounter experts after going down the mountain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo said, \"Then we'll practice the Nine Yin Manual before going down the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he looked up, the expression in his eyes already clear: \"Auntie, do you not want to go down the mountain again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yifei still said with an indifferent expression, \"I have never been down the mountain. I am a little afraid; I don't want to see outsiders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the monitor, Yu Min spoke into the walkie-talkie: \"Okay, cut. Take a break.\" Then he asked Zhang Jizhong: \"It's not working, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong said thoughtfully: \"...It's not really working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong didn't know what to do either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the acting was being suppressed, and not just in an ordinary way—it was a crushing suppression. It was Chen Nuo, like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, crushing the 18-year-old Liu \"Fairy\" into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong now really wished he could go back to before Chen Nuo fell from the horse, not just for Chen Nuo, but also for Liu Yifei. At that time, Chen Nuo also didn't seem to have found his state; using the version of him from then to act with Liu Yifei should have looked much better than it did now. The image on the monitor now looked truly too terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you tell Chen Nuo to act like this?\" Zhang Jizhong thought for a moment and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Min smiled bitterly: \"Yes. In the script, it was originally Yang Guo shirtless building the house, talking to Little Dragon Maiden while walking around. But Chen Nuo fell yesterday; how could I ask him to carry wood today? If I used some foam props, it would be too fake. So I changed the scene to a purely dramatic one. Who knew! It seems this kid's strongest suit is dramatic acting.\" So-called dramatic acting refers to scenes without large-scale movements or fighting, focusing on dialogue and emotional exchange between characters. Because dramatic acting has no action, it can only convey the character's personality, relationships, and story development to the audience through the actor's language and facial expressions. Therefore, the camera angles for dramatic scenes are usually very close to the actors to capture the subtle changes on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yu Min's view, Chen Nuo under such shots was truly terrifyingly strong. He was worthy of his background in film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, among actors who film TV dramas, apart from those few veteran actors, he hadn't seen anyone else who could perform three or four emotional changes in a single sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Liu Yifei said: \"...what will we do if we encounter experts after going down the mountain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his response, when he said \"Then...\", his expression froze for a moment, and then his eyes moved, clearly thinking about something. Then, having thought of something, he revealed a trace of pity, perhaps also a bit of relief, before saying the next line: \"Then we'll practice the Nine Yin Manual before going down the mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very Yang Guo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person who had suffered cold looks and neglect since childhood in the book, growing up amidst bullying and exclusion, he should naturally be very sensitive to others' emotions and very careful and attentive to every word, especially toward the woman he loved most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Little Dragon Maiden said words of evasion, he should have been able to sense certain emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Min felt that this version of Yang Guo was indeed more correct than the shirtless Yang Guo in the original script. Yang Guo shouldn't be shirtless, showing off his muscles, and grinning while asking Little Dragon Maiden, \"Auntie, do you not want to go down the mountain?\" That would be called a silly oaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Min could only sympathize with Liu Yifei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To have a \"paralyzed-face\" female lead who only knew one expression from beginning to end act against someone like this? He didn't know what to do, so he could only continue to consult the chief producer, Zhang Jizhong, \"Then... how about we continue to let Chen Nuo carry wood and shoot more medium shots?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong stroked his beard and said irritably: \"And then let Chen Nuo lie in the hospital, and we all go home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what do you suggest, Mr. Zhang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jizhong said: \"You go and give Liu Yifei some acting guidance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she didn't like the male lead, Liu Yifei felt that she had performed quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having this state in the first scene today, she was very satisfied with herself. She had familiarized herself with the script in advance, so her lines were very fluent, she paused where she should, had the emotions she should have, and most importantly, that final smile—she felt it must look very beautiful on camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when Yu Min walked over and said he wanted to give her some acting guidance, Xixi was a little dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this scene, your emotional rhythm needs to follow your opponent; don't keep immersing yourself in your own world.\" Yu Min stood beside Liu Yifei, appearing very patient, his tone very gentle, \"Little Dragon Maiden has a process of emotional progression at this moment, from not wanting to go down the mountain at the beginning to accepting it in the end. This change in the middle is because of Yang Guo. So your attention must always be on Chen Nuo; you must truly listen and truly watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Min talked to Liu Yifei there for five minutes; in the end, Liu Yifei remembered one sentence: her attention must be on Chen Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, as a junior at the Beijing Film Academy and the lead in several dramas, it wasn't that she didn't understand the principle of truly listening, watching, and feeling... but she was annoyed with Chen Nuo, and she really hadn't looked at him much just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, these were all small matters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How annoying, why was the director being so strict on the very first scene?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1431,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2b8c322a66faa09d2e91829800c008ddfe78378ca9cc6904ca6d00bc34926ed5","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-62","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-60",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
