Chapter 1231 1331. Please start your performance (Part 1)

After Shu Chang and Nie Wei arrived at the set, they greeted Jiang Jiajun and went directly to the dressing room.

There is a reason why Nie Wei rarely shoots costume dramas, that is, makeup is really too troublesome, especially the headgear. Even if the weather in Songshan is better than Kyoto, it is really a torture to shoot with a headgear in the temperature of 27 or 28 degrees.

In fact, Nie Wei and Shu Chang are still good. If it is a palace drama, especially a Qing Dynasty drama, several headdresses together can weigh more than ten pounds. Shu Chang, who has played a Qing Dynasty drama, told Nie Wei that in that case, after a day of shooting, it feels like the neck is not your own.

Nie Wei and Shu Chang are putting on makeup here, and the set on the other side is also noisy.

After Jiang Jiajun came to the set today, he soon found something different. Even if you are the protagonist, there will be times when you can't shoot your scenes. Generally, at this time, most actors choose to stay in the hotel to rest or go to play nearby.

But today was different. Except for a few senior actors who were not present, all the young actors were present. You should know that according to Jiang Jiajun's arrangement today, more than half of the actors present did not have work today.

But this group of people came to the set now, and they gathered together. Jiang Jiajun just thought about it and understood the reason.

It was obvious that these people came for Shu Chang and Nie Wei.

Jiang Jiajun not only did not think it was inappropriate, but also encouraged the young actors and said: "It's good that you have such enthusiasm. When the two teachers perform later, remember to be quiet on the side. In addition, don't hold the mind of watching the excitement, you must know how to learn. The opportunity is rare, understand?"

In a response, Jiang Jiajun left the scene with satisfaction and continued to inspect the work of the crew.

As soon as Jiang Jiajun left, several young actors immediately gathered together again, chattering and chatting excitedly.

The topic naturally revolved around Nie Wei and Shu Chang who would be guest-starring later.

"I'm particularly looking forward to Sister Shu Chang's performance. I've watched Sister Shu Chang's acting since I was not in junior high school. I've watched all of her "The Golden Age" and "The Secret History of Emperor Yongzheng." Chen Yuqi, who plays Zhao Min, whispered excitedly.

She was born in 1992, the same age as Zhou Duoduo. In addition, Shu Chang debuted and became famous early, so the first time she saw Shu Chang's TV series was when she was in elementary school.

But she is not the youngest among the leading actors, but the second oldest. Only Zhu Xiaodan, who plays Zhou Zhiruo, is a few months older than her.

Zeng Xixi, who plays the male protagonist Zhang Wuji, was born in 1997, Yang Xiaoli, who plays Xiao Zhao, was born in 1998, and another actress Cao Yue, who plays Zhu'er, was also born in 1994.

Such a young lineup also set a record for the youngest lineup of actors in the previous versions of Yitian.

"When I was in elementary school, I admired Nie Wei. It was because of my admiration for him that I wanted to be an actor and applied to the Film Academy. What about you, Yang Xiaoli?"

"Me? I like Nie Wei's movies. He was so handsome in New Police Story." Yang Xiaoli mentioned this with a crazy look on her face.

This statement was also unanimously agreed by several girls present.

Nie Wei has appeared in many movies. Because of different roles and different looks, the charm of each role is obviously different. New Police Story is neither the highest-grossing movie that Nie Wei has starred in, nor the best reputation. It is indeed recognized that it is the most charming role that Nie Wei has created.

A villain, let Nie Wei's performance "stun the whole audience", no matter whether it is the little king Xie Tingfeng or the big brother Cheng, they are all overshadowed by Nie Wei's brilliance. In the hearts of countless girls, that movie is not about Chen Guorong's story, nor Zheng Xiaofeng's story, but A Wei's story.

It is the child who wears red gloves and a white shirt, does the most evil things, but leaves the most innocent tears.

Of course, Yang Xiaoli likes the role of Nie Wei, mainly because she rarely goes to the movies. Her family conditions limit her knowledge. She may have to wait a year or even longer to get the information that many children in cities get for the first time.

For example, in the crew, many people have complained about Yang Xiaoli's playlist. She is obviously a child born in 1998, but her playlist is so old that even people born in the 1980s dislike it. In the words of Zeng Xixi, she has never seen any young actor singing "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream" and "Walk Away with Style" all day long.

These songs are classics, and everyone has obviously heard them, but there are very few people like Yang Xiaoli who add them to the playlist casually.

But this cannot be blamed on Yang Xiaoli, because her playlist is inherited from her parents' generation. In the small village where Yang Xiaoli lives, these songs are the most popular.

Of course, after being criticized by everyone, Yang Xiaoli also refilled her playlist, added songs from her group, and sang them to everyone every day. It would be fine if she sang well, but the key is that she is tone-deaf. For a long time, everyone couldn't help shivering when they saw Yang Xiaoli open her mouth, and they were all psychologically traumatized by her singing.

"Have you seen the ancient costumes of Sister Shu Chang and Brother Nie Wei?" Cao Yue suddenly asked.

Everyone shook their heads, but Zhu Xiaodan said: "I heard from my makeup artist that they are super handsome and beautiful."

Everyone smiled, thinking that Zhu Xiaodan's words were nonsense. With Nie Wei and Shu Chang's looks, unless they can dress up ugly, they will probably look good even if they wear a rag bag.

Although Nie Wei and Shu Chang arrived at the set early in the morning, their scenes were scheduled at 9:30 in the morning, and they might not be on time, and there was a high probability that they would be delayed.

After all, even precision machinery like airplanes could be delayed due to weather and other reasons, not to mention a crew where various accidents happen every day. If an actor is not in good condition today, it will delay the work, and the actors behind will have to continue to be scheduled.

Nie Wei's makeup took an hour to put on, and after putting on the costume, Nie Wei did not go to the set immediately, but came to Shu Chang's dressing room to rehearse the lines with her and talk about the play.

Although it was just a guest appearance, Shu Chang was full of confidence before coming, but when she started to put on makeup, the tension in her heart could not be suppressed.

After all, she hadn't filmed for several years. Even though Shu Chang had taken time out every day to practice with Nie Wei recently, she would still be a little nervous when facing the camera. This had nothing to do with strength, but was purely the tension brought by the unfamiliarity.

"Don't worry about it later. Jiang Jiajun and I have agreed to shoot our scenes together first." Nie Wei consoled.

"Well, don't hold me back later." Shu Chang smiled. She agreed with this arrangement 100%. When she faced Nie Wei, her nervousness would be greatly reduced. After all, they were husband and wife, so familiar with each other that there was nothing to be nervous about.

With this buffer, Shu Chang's next performance would also be able to eliminate a lot of nervousness. After all, without that sense of strangeness, Shu Chang's acting skills were at the level of a queen of the screen, and she could definitely interpret this role to the core.

What Nie Wei and Shu Chang didn't expect was that after confirming that the two had finished their makeup, Jiang Jiajun immediately notified them to come to the set.

Because of Nie Wei and Shu Chang's identities, plus the favor of a friendly guest appearance, Jiang Jiajun decided to shoot the two's scenes in advance.

The actors who were "cut in line" were not dissatisfied, but they all looked very excited. After all, everyone got together to look forward to watching Nie Wei and Shu Chang's live performance. Now that they can see it in advance, it is a surprise for many people.

Young actors like Yang Xiaoli, Zeng Xixi, and Chen Yuqi even found some small chairs and sat in a good position on the set like kindergarten students, waiting for Nie Wei and Shu Chang to appear like the audience.

When Nie Wei and Shu Chang came out in ancient costumes, applause broke out.

Everyone really couldn't help but cheer, which felt like the fans' expectation when Jordan returned.

Amid the cheers, Shu Chang's face was a little stiff. Obviously, he didn't expect so many people to pay attention to him. Not to mention the more than ten actors, even many staff members who had no work at the moment came over.

This made Shu Chang feel flattered, but Nie Wei liked this scene very much. He waved and thanked the people around him who were applauding.

When it was time to shoot, most of the staff on the scene actually left.

Because the first shot shows Nie Wei in a distant view, he is sitting under an ancient tree and playing the zither. In the original novel, He Zudao's zither even attracted countless birds. At that time, Guo Xiang guessed that the song He Zudao played was the "Empty Mountain Birdsong" mentioned by Huang Rong.

The crew didn't know where to find a Yaoqin, which was a modern product at first glance. After all, all ancient guqins had five strings, but with the development of music, traditional domestic musical instruments are also following the trend. Now most Yaoqins are seven-stringed.

Seven strings are seven strings, but what makes Nie Wei laugh and cry is that he plucked the seven strings of this zither and found that none of them was accurate.

Before the shooting started, Nie Wei simply wanted to get tools and tune the Yaoqin on the spot.

"What is Nie Wei doing?" Several young actors watched from a distance, not knowing why.

"It seems to be tuning? I'm not sure." Zhu Xiaodan has learned piano and guitar, and feels familiar with Nie Wei's busy appearance.

"Brother Nie Wei can also play the guqin?" Zeng Xixi asked in surprise, and her eyes, which were already big, suddenly widened into an oval shape.

He would not be so surprised if he could play the piano or guitar, but the guqin is definitely an unpopular instrument nowadays.

After Zeng Xixi screamed, Yang Xiaoli suddenly found that everyone was looking at her curiously, so she shook her head quickly: "I don't know."

She really didn't know. Although Shu Chang treated her very well, like a real sister, to be honest, they didn't spend much time together before, and she didn't know much more about Shu Chang and Nie Wei than the young actors present.

But what Zeng Xixi was surprised about was really true.

Nie Wei not only understood, but also was very proficient. In the past 18 years, he has studied no less than a hundred Chinese and foreign musical instruments. With his keen sense of music and super memory, Nie Wei is no longer the music novice he was at the beginning. Now he is definitely worthy of the title of music master.

And although the Yaoqin is now desolate, it was definitely a popular instrument comparable to the piano in ancient times, so Nie Wei naturally invested a lot of energy in researching it.

Soon the shooting began, and Nie Wei casually played a modern version of "High Mountains and Flowing Water".

Almost the moment the music sounded, everyone on the scene felt very familiar. Yang Xiaoli first thought, didn't this appear in Zhang Da Huzi's "Swordsman" before?

The elder Qu Yang of Heimu Cliff and the leader of Hengshan School Liu Zhengfeng played it before.

There is a reason why Nie Wei played this piece of music. Although in the original work, according to Guo Xiang's words, He Zudao should have played "Birds in the Empty Mountain", but that piece of music was too mysterious, and it was not as perfect as "Searching for Sound in the Mountains and Flowing Waters". .

You must know that He Zudao's feelings for Guo Xiang are actually the feeling of becoming a close friend. In Nie Wei's opinion, using this song as a guide is actually more meaningful, far more meaningful than the current compilation of "Birds in the Empty Mountain" that does not attract birds. Much stronger.

As for the scene in the opening of He Zudao that attracts the chirping of several species of birds, it can be completely solved with special effects.

Nie had passed this scene just once. Jiang Jiajun was ready to play it again a few times to adjust some problems, but this time, Jiang Jiajun really couldn't find any problems.

Of course, this does not mean that Nie Wei's performance is perfect, but Jiang Jiajun's ability is limited, and he cannot see Nie Wei's imperfections. This is the limit of a TV drama director. Filming TV dramas for a long time will reduce the director's artistic pursuit. After all, the filming process of TV series is too protracted, and we cannot completely strive for excellence.

Nie Wei was not stupid enough to ask for a reshoot. After all, it was just a cameo. He felt that his performance just now was good enough.

If the scene just now allowed everyone to see Nie Wei's versatility, the next scene made everyone marvel at Nie Wei's profound knowledge of lines.

"Stretching the long sword and raising the eyebrows, how can the clear water and white rocks be separated? The world is miserable and ignorant, and what is the use of living for a thousand years?"

A short sentence of emotion, read by Nie Wei, immediately gave everyone at the scene a sense of "Where can I find a good friend in the world, and who will listen when the string breaks".

"I have heard from seniors in the company before that those who are good at speaking lines can feel a picture in their mind just by listening to it. I have seen it today." Zeng Xixi said with emotion, Nie Wei's line His skills are so profound that during his filming experience in the past few years since his debut, not to mention anyone who is better than Nie Wei, even those who can compare with him are hard to find.

Yang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and his eyes were full of envy.

If the biggest problem she encountered in acting this time was neither the camera sense nor the acting skills, it was the problem of lines, because lines cannot be mastered overnight. It really takes time to practice hard to get better and better. of.

Of course, if an actor doesn't have too many pursuits, relying on post-dubbing can be considered a shortcut, but there is a difference between what others dub and what he says.
