Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 29: Bringing so many musical instruments on the chase?
On the set, Director Ju picked up the intercom and shouted:

"Okay, this one's passed. Props team, quickly switch to the next instrument..."

Having said that, Director Ju looked at Sheng Yunxuan again and confirmed:

"For this piece, I want a melody that reflects the murderous intent within. Is that okay?"

Sheng Yunxuan put down the flute in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The flute in my hand is the fourth instrument I used in today's filming. I have already filmed the sanxian, zheng and xun.

It felt like the director was just trying to pick a fight with Sheng Yunxuan, insisting on seeing how many instruments he could play...

Sheng Yunxuan said helplessly:
"Of course you can...but director, isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"

"In the script, I'm leading my men on a hunt for the protagonist, Qi Shaoshang. It seems a little strange to carry so many musical instruments with me!"

Although the protagonist of this story is "Qi Shaoshang", in the early and middle stages of the story, the protagonist "Qi Shaoshang" was chased and killed by "Gu Xichao" and his men all the way, and was in a very embarrassing situation.

"Gu Xichao" uses all kinds of conspiracies, threats and secret plots to eliminate the martial arts forces that are on good terms with the protagonist one by one, and all the masters standing on the protagonist's side are killed or injured.

The reason why the well-produced TV series "Against the Cold Current" did not cause any response after it was broadcast is probably because the overall story is too depressing.

There is also the latest version of "The Untold Story", which is of very good quality, but it did not receive very high ratings due to the same reason that it was too depressing.

People don’t necessarily watch TV dramas to be tortured…

This is a bit off topic, but Sheng Yunxuan just felt that it was a bit excessive for "Gu Xichao" to carry so many musical instruments with him during his pursuit.
Upon hearing this, Director Ju waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Not all of it will be edited into the main film. Shoot some extra footage so we can use it as a backup later!"

With such an answer, what else could Sheng Yunxuan say? He could only cooperate obediently.

The props team brought over a pipa. Sheng Yunxuan held the pipa in his arms, thought for a moment, and then began to play it.

When the fingers pluck the pipa strings, a rapid and passionate clanging sound is heard, like thousands of troops galloping, and the booming military drums show the murderous intent in the heart!
Although the musical instrument level of "Gu Xichao" cannot be called a master, it also allows Sheng Yunxuan to have a high level of attainment in these instruments.

Whenever necessary during filming, Sheng Yunxuan can express Gu Xichao's inner emotions through music.

Whether it was resentment and anger, or murderous intent, or struggle and hesitation...

In post-production after filming, it is even necessary to add music to such shots, and these materials can be directly edited into the main film!

This is why Director Ju asked Sheng Yunxuan to shoot more footage so that he can use it for later editing!
Moreover, Director Ju specially arranged the filming in this way just to help Sheng Yunxuan!
There are several journalist friends in the crew now. They have received travel expenses to help the crew of "Against the Cold Water" with early publicity.

Although Sheng Yunxuan was the second male lead in the crew, he had no fame before and was not in the scope of attention of this group of reporters.

But since Sheng Yunxuan played so many musical instruments in succession during the filming just now, these reporters became interested and started taking pictures of Sheng Yunxuan.

After all, the reporters received travel expenses from the crew, so they had to promote the film well and flatter the crew when they returned.

However, Ju Jueliang himself wasn't one to frequently create buzz and hype like Zhang Da Huzi did. The crew was filming diligently, with no actors suddenly revealing anything shocking, no one getting injured during filming, and no one suddenly switching leads.

There was not a single piece of valuable news. Originally, these reporters had planned to go back and say that the working environment on the set was difficult and to praise how dedicated the actors were.

It's a bit perfunctory, but at least it's worth the travel expenses given by the production team!

Then, under Director Ju's intentional arrangement to let Sheng Yunxuan come to the fore, the reporters finally noticed Sheng Yunxuan, a new actor with excellent appearance, outstanding temperament, and many talents.

There are no such things as Weibo or short video accounts these days, so the daily promotion of artists can only rely on these reporters to report.

For Sheng Yunxuan, this is obviously also a way to increase exposure and popularity.

Sheng Yunxuan cooperated with Director Ju and played seven or eight musical instruments in succession.

When these different instruments fall into Sheng Yunxuan's hands, he can skillfully play beautiful and emotional melodies.

His talent in playing musical instruments really surprised everyone present.

The crew's original impression of Sheng Yunxuan was that he was handsome and had a gentle temperament, which made people feel good about him.

So even though everyone in the crew was saying that Sheng Yunxuan was a "relative", at the beginning, everyone in the crew just doubted whether he could play the second male lead well, and there was no bad feeling.

Later, Sheng Yunxuan's performance in "acting" and his hard-working character who never complains of being tired convinced everyone that this person with connections also has abilities.

And now Sheng Yunxuan has shown his attainments in musical instruments in the crew, which immediately made everyone in the crew sigh with emotion.

Otherwise, how could he become a relative? He has outstanding appearance and temperament, and such outstanding talents. Who else can the company support if not him?
There were also several journalists invited by the crew to help with publicity. After Sheng Yunxuan finished filming, they immediately found him and wanted to interview him.

Fang Lan quickly leaned over to Sheng Yunxuan's ear and whispered:

"I just called Sister Qin and asked her about it. She told you to try your best to show yourself. She will also greet the reporters later..."

Sheng Yunxuan nodded upon hearing this and began to accept the interview.

These reporters were all hired by the production team, and they were all praising Sheng Yunxuan when they wrote the press releases. Naturally, they would not ask any sharp questions when interviewing Sheng Yunxuan, the second male lead.

I simply asked Sheng Yunxuan to introduce himself, and then started asking questions like "What works have you filmed before?", "Have you learned musical instruments since childhood?", "How many musical instruments do you know?", "Is it hard to film on the crew?"

However, although these questions are normal, there are no "traps" set.

But Sheng Yunxuan was still very cautious during the interview and had to choose his words carefully before answering each time.

Because you never know what you said unintentionally, and a decade later, someone might take it out of context and post it online, becoming your so-called "black spot"...
