Chapter 26 The eighth simulation!
Director Ju Jueliang's first impression of Sheng Yunxuan was actually not very good.

I think Sheng Yunxuan is just a relative of the investors, who insisted on playing the second male lead even though he doesn't fit the character image in the play at all. They even went so far as to modify the script for him...

Most people will inevitably have some opinions about people with connections.

But speaking of it, Director Ju could even tolerate such outrageous operations as using a stand-in for Angel Baby and changing his face in post-production, which shows that he is a person who would "bow down for a few pieces of silver".

So even though he wasn't optimistic about Sheng Yunxuan's ability to play this role well, he still didn't show it on his face...

However, on the first day that the crew officially started filming, Director Ju immediately changed his impression of Sheng Yunxuan after seeing his performance on the set!

Because he discovered that Sheng Yunxuan was not only good-looking, but also quite skilled.

This kind of martial arts drama has a lot of fighting scenes, which is not easy for ordinary actors.

But Sheng Yunxuan seemed to be at ease. No matter how difficult the martial arts moves designed by the crew's martial arts director were, he was able to master them quickly and perform them quite beautifully. He looked as if he had learned martial arts.

And although Sheng Yunxuan has a face that doesn't seem to be able to endure hardship, he has never held the crew back during the actual filming!

The crew filmed the scene in the northwest, where sandstorms occur from time to time due to geographical, geological and environmental factors.

Even without a sandstorm, the dust here is very heavy.

Especially when filming the fighting scenes in this kind of martial arts drama, as soon as the actors, martial arts directors, and extras start to fight, the set will immediately be covered with dust and gray.

Ordinary staff can wear masks to block out dust, but actors who need to appear on camera cannot.

This meant that after each take, the actors had to stop and rinse their mouths.

Those martial arts directors in the crew who are more willing to endure hardships are all complaining.

Even though Sheng Yunxuan looked like a complete mess after a day of filming, he didn't complain at all!

Just for this reason, Director Ju no longer had any different opinion of him.

Even if the character's image is not very suitable, as long as you are willing to work hard and shoot carefully, and rely on the method of training the actor's acting skills, it may not be impossible to help him play the role well!

So when filming the literary scenes later, Director Ju, who felt that Sheng Yunxuan was not doing well, specially called him over to help him sort out the role.

"The scene we're going to shoot is about the men finding the male protagonist Qi Shaoshang's clothing fragments and concluding that he has been killed by explosives. At this time, Gu Xichao isn't happy, but rather desolate and lonely."

"Because he and Qi Shaoshang truly cherish each other, and I don't want to hurt him..."

Director Ju has been in the mainland for many years. Although he still speaks Mandarin with an accent, he has no problem communicating.

Sheng Yunxuan listened to him talk about the play attentively, even nodding repeatedly, with a thoughtful look on his face from time to time.

But in fact, this is the way of the world, and he deliberately cooperated with Director Ju.

After all, in the previous filming, Sheng Yunxuan had already started his eighth life simulation.

As for how to play the role of Gu Xichao, he, with his simulated memory, probably knows better than the director... [...]

【…】

【The eighth life simulation starts over! 】

"Your name is Gu Xichao. You were born in a brothel. You are the child of a prostitute, the accident of a sexual transaction."

"Your mother died young, so you never knew who your father was. Your humble origins are a stain you can never erase, a threshold you can never cross!"

"But surprisingly, despite your humble origins, you are handsome and gifted, self-taught, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and your literary and martial arts are all top-notch!"

"Your humble origins make you yearn for success and recognition."

"You achieved the third place in the imperial examination, but were stripped of your honor because of your humble origins. You joined the army, but despite your unrivaled martial arts skills and mastery of military tactics, you were never given a position of importance..."

"You are a person of noble character and strong will, yet you are constantly oppressed. Even if you sacrifice your dignity and grovel to serve others, you still cannot rise to prominence, and are even forced to become a street performer."

"And just when you were most desperate, Fu Wanqing, the daughter of Prime Minister Fu Zongshu, came to your aid and resolved your most pressing problem."

"You couldn't help but develop a crush on her, and after much effort, you finally married Fu Wanqing. However, due to your background, you didn't receive the blessing of others."

"Originally, you were driven by ambition and ambition, but now, to give your wife the best life possible, you've decided to obey the orders of your father-in-law, Fu Zongshu, and head to Lianyun Village to assassinate Qi Shaoshang, the traitorous leader of Lianyun Village!"

"Thanks to your planning, you and Qi Shaoshang quickly became acquainted. Both of you are among the world's most exceptional figures, so naturally heroes appreciate heroes and view each other as close friends."

"After spending some time together, Qi Shaoshang has grown to trust and respect you, even wanting to entrust Lianyun Village to you."

"Unfortunately, the two of you ultimately followed different paths, not the same path! Under your meticulous planning, Lianyun Village fell apart, and you eliminated all the Lianyun Village masters who followed Qi Shaoshang one by one, leading your troops to hunt Qi Shaoshang down."

"During this period, you also hesitated and doubted, and even considered abandoning your mission. But once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. You're already deeply trapped, with no way out. You can only choose to follow Prime Minister Fu and give it your all within the palace."

"It's a shame that all these conspiracies and disputes stem from your father-in-law, Fu Zongshu, who is plotting to usurp the throne. You've even been treated like a discarded pawn."

"Fortunately, Fu Zongshu's plot was discovered by Qi Shaoshang, and you, who were originally supposed to pay for your crimes, were ultimately able to escape thanks to your wife, Fu Wanqing, who risked her life to protect you."

[“After learning of your wife’s death, you disregarded your own life and showed up at the funeral home, took away her body, and left with a maniacal laugh. You have been missing ever since…”]

You were born into a humble family, your life story pitiful and tragic, yet you possess extraordinary talent. You possess a profound understanding of astronomy, geography, and harmony among people, a master of both civil and military arts! You are not a good person, using the saying "One general's success is the product of thousands of sacrifices" to excuse and justify your sins. But if you hadn't suffered this oppression, perhaps you would have had a brighter life...
