Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 771 Sima the Old Thief Must Die!
"Brother Yang, you are truly amazing! It is my honor to be able to learn from you!" Ma Hao said sincerely, his tone filled with gratitude.

Zhou Yang gently touched his nose, thinking to himself that he did indeed have some extraordinary qualities.

Just then, Xu Shanzheng and Huang Xiaobo walked in.

Huang Xiaobo immediately came over to greet him, "Haha, still so dedicated! Personally involved in the set design!"

Zhou Yang turned around and introduced them, "This is Ma Hao, the director of 'Crazy Stone'! This is Huang Xiaobo, and next to him is Xu Shanzheng!"

Ma Hao certainly recognized them; both were well-known actors in the entertainment industry.

Huang Xiaobo and Xu Shanzheng greeted each other with smiles: "Hello, Director! I'm the actor playing Chairman Feng! This is the actor playing Bao Shihong!"

Ma Hao hurriedly shook hands with the two men and exchanged pleasantries: "I've heard so much about you! Actually, we're quite familiar with each other. Xu Shanzheng and I are alumni of the Directing Department at the Central Academy of Drama!"

Xu Shanzheng's eyes lit up. "What a coincidence! Our cooperation will definitely be very pleasant!"

Zhou Yang shrugged and smiled, saying, "With me here, nothing unexpected will happen!"

"Go put on your makeup quickly!" Huang Xiaobo urged hurriedly.

Zhou Yang responded, "You guys need to get used to the environment first, otherwise it will be very difficult during filming! I'm going to get my makeup done now!"

After saying that, Zhou Yang left. Since "Crazy Stone" revolves around a gemstone and involves Dao Ge, Hei Pi, and many other characters, Huang Xiaobo and Zhou Yang were the comedic duo responsible for the film.

They need to get to know each other in order to cooperate better.

Ma Hao understood this principle and quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhou Xi also understood the importance of this role. The role required him to show some lighthearted and lively qualities, while also reflecting the hardships of people at the bottom of society. Therefore, Zhou Yang had to quickly get into character.

Not long after, Zhou Yang returned with makeup on, now transformed into a street thug.

He was wearing an old-fashioned suit, and he walked with a powerful presence, exuding an aura of dominance that could not be underestimated.

Huang Xiaobo stepped forward and said, "This look really suits you! Haha!"

"Greasy! Perfectly suits the dark-skinned character!" Xu Shanzheng commented jokingly.

The staff nearby also started talking about it.

"When Brother Yang first came out, I almost didn't recognize him!"

"I couldn't recognize him! His handsome features still shine through!"

"The makeup artist is amazing! They managed to turn such a handsome guy into a greasy middle-aged man!"

"Actually, I think he's quite handsome, I don't know why!"

"I think you should get a packet of dish soap to wash your eyes!"

"Haha, if that's what Brother Shan Zheng says, it seems the role really suits him!"

"..."

Just as everyone was having a heated discussion, a man with a buzz cut walked over from a distance.

Upon seeing him, Zhou Yang's eyes lit up instantly. He quickly stepped forward, politely extending his hand and saying, "Mr. Liu Hua, it's a pleasure to work with you."

“I’m also very happy to be working with you,” Liu Hua replied politely, looking at Zhou Yang.

Liu Hua plays Dao Ge. Despite his low-key demeanor, he has participated in not only thousands of films, but at least dozens.

With his high starting point and rich experience, he is undoubtedly a veteran actor.

This time, Zhou Yang personally asked Chen Tianzhen to contact Liu Hua to play the role. Excellent actors not only guarantee the quality of the film, but also provide strong support for box office success.

At this moment, Ma Hao walked over and, upon seeing Zhou Yang, couldn't help but praise, "You are exactly like the dark-skinned man I had in mind, and you've captured his temperament perfectly!"

Once everything was ready on set, Ma Hao shouted to all the staff, "Everyone, get off the set immediately and return to your posts. We're about to start filming our first scene today." The first scene to be filmed today was about Xie Xiaomeng being forced to drink water from a toilet by Dao Ge, a scene that showcased Dao Ge's ruthlessness.

Before filming, Ma Hao asked Zhou Yang how to handle this shot. Zhou Yang looked at the toilet and instructed the crew: "Add a layer of glass on top, that's right, just stick it on like that!"

After seeing the final result, Ma Hao couldn't help but slap his forehead and say, "How come I didn't think of that! Brother Yang is really smart!"

The staff were completely baffled and did not understand the purpose of doing so.

When it came time to film the scene, the crew finally understood. The camera was placed under the glass, water was poured down from above, and Dao Ge held Xie Xiaomeng's head down to create the desired effect.

The staff silently gave Zhou Yang a thumbs up. Dao Ge's character isn't entirely ruthless, but he certainly shows a formidable side in crucial moments.

Although this is slightly different from Liu Hua's usual taciturn image, he portrayed it very well.

The filming was almost a success in one take. As soon as Ma Hao saw the footage on camera, he shouted, "Cut! That's a wrap!"

However, the following scene is much more complicated. Zhou Yang, Dao Ge, and Xiao Di discuss the plot of how they obtained the gem, and the scene is set in a bathtub.

Zhou Yang said to his younger brother, "Your line may not be very important, but you still need to convey that feeling!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yang said to Dao Ge, "Are you ready? It's time to go on stage!"

The three of them took off their upper body clothes one after another, revealing their bodies.

After wetting his hair, Zhou Yang began to lather the shampoo.

The staff on set were stunned. Although Zhou Yang had gained weight specifically for the role, his physique was still incredibly enviable.

"Brother Yang's physique is absolutely stunning! The proportions are amazing!"

"Brother Yang gained weight specifically for this movie!"

"Our Brother Yang isn't just some pretty boy! He's both dedicated and capable!"

Wow! I think this is a hundred times better looking than abs!

"As long as Brother Yang is there, he can definitely challenge my aesthetic sense!"

"..."

Everyone was ready, and Ma Hao shouted from his camera position: "Crazy Stone, Act 2, Shot 1, Action!"

Zhou Yang quickly got into character. He was about to steal a bottle of safflower oil from a man in a bathhouse, but he ran into trouble because of a malfunction in the voice-activated light.

He came out with foam all over his head and saw Brother Dao and his younger brother taking a bath.

Zhou Yang swayed as he walked over, the foam on his face making him look ridiculous, and the staff couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, Dao Ge looked up from the water, lost in thought, reflecting on life.

"Sigh! Why is there so much setback in my life?!"

"Things change, are there no good people left? Blackie, you're right! Morality..."

Zhou Yang remained calm in the face of the veteran actor's heartfelt performance.

Despite his head being covered in foam, his eyes remained fixed on the green gemstone, carefully observing how it looked in the water.

"Please accept my condolences, brother!" Blackie said without turning his head, appearing extremely perfunctory.

Only the younger brother continued to listen attentively to Dao-ge's words.

After speaking, Blackie carefully examined the gemstone by the light, his face full of interest.
