After the rebirth of the idol, he started to lose weight and became the best actor

"Very good! Just a few more shots and this scene will be done!"

Director Cui was overjoyed as he repeatedly watched the original footage recorded by the camera. Even without editing, one could still see how grand the scene was.

It's a pity that Director Cui felt that he did not capture the fox fairy's complete original beauty. After all, it was not as stunning as what she saw with the naked eye on the spot.

Even Yan Congsheng, who usually needs several NGs to find the sense of drama before he can shoot smoothly, was unconsciously brought into the role and made a rare contribution to the achievement of passing it in one go.

Upon hearing the director's decision, everyone on the set, including the extras, breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of shot with hundreds of people is the most difficult to shoot. If anyone is not in good shape, it will become a funny blooper.

This scene alone might have to be shot repeatedly for several days, and overtime was almost the norm.

Yan Congsheng took off his mouse-like latex mask, and regardless of the soreness of his back from being hunched over during the filming, he hurriedly chased in the direction of Lu Rong.

If it were another director, the rat demon scene would have been played by a stand-in dressed in the rat demon's costume.

But Director Cui firmly disagreed, because according to the original work, the hero's strength was suppressed to the extreme during this period.

Minor transformation techniques can only simulate smell and appearance, but it is difficult to replicate the other person's expression and breath.

The extras we hired really couldn't act out that kind of arrogance, disdain and ethereal feeling.

To put it bluntly, handsome guys can act out a vulgar feeling, but it is really difficult for ugly guys to portray a fairy-like character.

Director Cui wanted that sense of disharmony.

Yan Congsheng ran towards the rest area happily. It was not easy to cooperate with Brother Lu for the second time and he was back to his previous state. Apart from happiness, he had no other emotion in his heart.

"Brother Lu, your appearance this time is really amazing. Even a straight man like me can't help but..."

There was an extremely contrasting expression on his stern face, which surprised the staff nearby.

As a popular and talented young actor, his acting skills are also remarkable among the younger generation.

Because he was born with a cool and domineering face, Yan Congsheng is favored by directors of various ancient and modern idol dramas.

But his acting skills are not awkward, and Yan Congsheng can handle many cool and domineering roles.

Both fans and people in the circle know that Yan Congsheng is actually not very talkative in private.

I once appeared on a variety show, and if the host hadn't been making jokes, the show would have been a dull one.

I didn’t expect that Teacher Yan is not aloof, but rather slow to warm up!

Everyone looked at the figure circling around Teacher Lu, almost wagging his tail, and suddenly realized what was going on.

"Teacher Yan's acting skills are getting better and better."

Lu Rong had a face full of seductive makeup, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that her smile was as beautiful as a flower.

But when she takes off the unreachable image in the drama, her temperament is as icy and pure as a snow bowl or an ice cup.

One is the moon in the water, the other is the snow in the arms, he can't tell which one attracts him more.

Hearing Lu Rong's praise, Yan Congsheng blushed and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Lu Rong is obviously much younger than him, but he just can't treat him as a younger brother.

Fortunately, Lu Rong's status is higher than his now, so he can flatter her more easily.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and soon Yan Congsheng was taken away by his makeup artist to touch up his makeup.

Lu Rong has finished filming his scenes for today, but he can't leave yet. He has to wait for the director to integrate them in the evening so that he can shoot some close-up shots of details.

Unable to remove her makeup, Lu Rong could only sit on a chair, holding a few big tails, and watch the scenes of other leading actors in the crew.

It was so big that it looked like a mascot, so beautiful that it made people's hearts flutter. I don't know how many people passed by and secretly looked at him.

It’s a pity that I can’t take pictures without permission and share the feeling of almost screaming with my friends.

The weather in early spring was still a little cold. Lu Rong's robe was complicated, with several folds.

But in fact it is not warm, and when the wind blows, cold air blows in from all directions.

Lu Rong curled up in the recliner. Pei Xiaolin found a felt cloak from somewhere and used his tall and strong body to block the wind, which made him feel better.

The comfort zone has just been set up, and the filming of the heroine and the hero is about to begin.

Seeing that they were all wearing thin clothes, Lu Rong couldn't help but shook his head. It wasn't easy for them.

This is the second time the male protagonist loses his memory, and it is also the key scene where he meets the female protagonist.

The actress who plays the female lead, You Xin, is not very popular in the circle, but her popularity is currently on the rise. She has played supporting roles in several popular TV series and recently won a relatively prestigious award.

As for how the heroine agreed to act in the role, it had to do with Director Cui’s connections.

In the early costume dramas, it was about big guys fighting each other. Now that they are retired, they always have a few students under them.

As time went by, some new actors with potential who graduated from professional schools received support from Director Cui. Wasn’t that what happened to Yan Congsheng back then?

Except for Director Cui himself, almost no one believes how good the reputation of this drama will be. They just believe in Director Cui's professional ethics.

Lu Rong couldn't predict how the word-of-mouth would develop, but he felt that the drama had the potential to become a hit.

After all, the market for melodramas is very large. Generally, melodramas are good for venting, and super melodramatic ones are good for making people laugh.

After the official start-up, Lu Rong watched carefully and saw Yan Congsheng being hung on the wire and slowly rising to the predetermined height.

In this falling scene, the male lead has to act out the feeling of falling from the sky. Although it is almost the same as a real fall, the height is still quite considerable.

A thick cushion is laid on the ground, covered with flower petals, which will be pieced together with the Flower God Dojo after later processing.

It only took Lu Rong eighteen falls to go from being excited at the beginning to frowning and finally confused.

Yan Congsheng's appearance is a mess, but fortunately, according to the setting, he fell from the sky, so it's okay if it's a little messy, otherwise it would take longer.

"Director Cui... Teacher Yan is not in good shape today, right? Do you need to rest for a while?"

Lu Rong looked at the director beside him hesitantly.

Director Cui smiled and shook his head: "I thought so at the beginning, but in fact, this is just a sign that Xiaoyan hasn't gotten into the role yet."

"You haven't gotten into the role yet?"

"When I worked with him in the early years, Xiaoyan wasn't that serious yet."

Director Cui said with emotion: "He has been on the wrong path for several years. He said he would win the Best Actor Award, but he couldn't resist the temptation and worked hard to hone his acting skills, and his acting range has become narrower and narrower."

"Ling Jun is the best resource he has received in the past four years."

Lu Rong has observed the roles played by Yan Congsheng in recent years, and the problem of homogeneity is still quite serious.

The male protagonists and male supporting roles are basically calm and rational.

He looked thoughtfully at the embarrassed figure hanging in the air. Sure enough, in different places and times, everyone was working hard...

It is obvious that the reason why Yan Congsheng took on this drama was not entirely because of personal relationships, but for transformation, just like Ling Jun's heroine Lin Shuangyi.

Being an actor is a profession that requires constant learning and breakthroughs. If one chooses to remain complacent, then he will soon become like everyone else.

His goal has always been to become the best actor, but he doesn't have many works accumulated so he feels a sense of urgency in his heart.

If Yan Congsheng knew about Lu Rong's idea, he would probably collapse.

Let me tell you a horror story. The King of Rolls feels that he is not roll enough...

Forty minutes later, Yan Congsheng finally threw the most perfect, cleanest and most reasonable fall.

The heroine You Xin was calmly playing with her mobile phone wrapped in a small blanket, and it was obvious that she was used to the hero's behavior.

Over the past few days, Lu Rong didn't have many scenes, but there were a lot of jokes from the crew.

The shooting scene was supposed to be a fairy-like flying sword scene, but there were all kinds of problems.

Yan Congsheng was serious as he prepared to step onto his "peerless sword", but perhaps there was something wrong with the wire or he didn't find the right balance, as soon as he stepped on it, he felt like he had drunk fake alcohol.

His arms were waving wildly, sometimes stretching to the left as if trying to grab a life-saving straw, and sometimes swinging suddenly to the right, and his body tilted greatly.

The long sword with a fixed trajectory was also affected and fell to the ground under his feet.

Lu Rong looked up at Yan Congsheng, who was walking on a tightrope, and vaguely heard the suppressed laughter coming from nearby.

Suddenly, Yan Congsheng staggered forward and almost fell face down. His panicked expression shattered his image of a cool and aloof male god.

His eyes widened, his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg, and a scream of “Ahhhh——” came from his throat.

After finally steadying his body, he didn't even have time to catch his breath before he fell backward again, as if someone had suddenly pulled his legs backward.

Yan Congsheng's hair was flying wildly in the wind, and the neatly tied headband was loosened. A few strands of hair were stuck to his face, making him look even more dishevelled.

The sword was restless under the pull of the wire, tilting to the left and then to the right. Yan Congsheng shouted anxiously, "No, I'm flying a sword, right? Not a swing!"

The staff below couldn't hold back their laughter and fell backwards. The stagehand shouted solemnly with a loud speaker: "Hold on, hold on! This is a fairy tale drama, not a comedy!"

Dozens of minutes later, Yan Congsheng finally came down from the sky, not because the shooting task was completed, but because his makeup was so unbearable that he could not be seen in public.

The first thing he did was to run to Director Cui and ask expressionlessly whether the director team had recorded his ugly behavior as a behind-the-scenes footage.

That Fan Yike caused him so much trouble back then. He lost 20,000 followers in one day and thought he had to send them away. But when he woke up the next day, hey, his followers had increased by 50,000.

Although there was no loss other than his image, the experience of extreme joy and sorrow still made him a little unbearable.

Facing Yan Congsheng's aggressive questioning, Director Cui suppressed his laughter and patted him on the shoulder solemnly: "Xiao Yan, you are the man who wants to be the TV King. We are not afraid of these things that do not affect our strength."

Yan Congsheng's eyes widened in disbelief: "Director Cui?! When did you start joking?"

"Ahem, I've been hanging out with you youngsters for too long. I'm not in charge of the behind-the-scenes stuff. You can ask the assistant director..."

Everyone was passing the buck, and in the end he still couldn't find the person actually responsible.

Yan Congsheng, who looked frustrated, saw Lu Rong's smiling face. When he thought that Brother Lu had also witnessed the whole process, he felt desperate and stammered to explain: "Brother Lu, the wind is a bit strong today..."

"You're right." Lu Rong looked at the cloudless weather and agreed reluctantly.

There was another very impressive experience.

The male lead Mo Xuan and his fiancé are engaged in an intense magic show. The two protagonists are in position, ready to show off their skills.

However, the style of painting gradually became more and more funny.

Yan Congsheng took the lead and shouted, "Look at my Hunyuan Qiankun move!"

I saw him suddenly stretching his arms to both sides, thinking he looked very handsome, but in fact his movements were as stiff as a rooster spreading its wings.

Zhao Ye, who played the fiancé, was not to be outdone. After hearing "Hunyuan Qiankun", he shouted disdainfully: "Hmph, Nine Yang Holy Fire - extinguish!"

Having said that, Zhao Ye began his unique performance.

He first spun around on the spot. It should have been a graceful rotation, summoning scorching sun flames with a wave of his sleeves. However, because he was spinning too fast, he almost lost his balance and stumbled for a while before he could steady himself.

Then, he raised his arms upwards, as if he was trying to hold up a scorching sun, but the movement was like he was lifting something extremely heavy with great effort, and he exerted too much force and even his facial expression was slightly out of control.

Yan Congsheng rushed towards the other party and made a pushing motion, but there was no point of force in that movement, as if he was dancing with the air.

Zhao Ye shouted and jumped, squatting and jumping up, as if he was avoiding the invisible attack of "Hunyuan Wuji".

The two of them were talking back and forth, and it seemed like they were trying to make each other laugh to death.

Director Cui left the director's monitor helplessly, shook his head, and could only shout "Cut" to ask them to readjust their status.

The staff around laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes. Some of them held their stomachs, and some even fell to the ground laughing.

There were also people who came to watch the fun and shouted, "Teachers, please stop hitting them, stop hitting them - you won't kill them like this~" It rained heavily that day... After a while, the two of them couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Ye was still in the mood to tease: "How can this be called magic? Brother, you should practice Tai Chi. I suspect you are chasing a pheasant instead of a phoenix. If you keep fighting for a while, I'll catch a cold."

Yan Congsheng and Zhao Ye were also familiar with each other. He rolled his eyes at him and said stubbornly, "You're not much better. If you feel itchy, go take a shower."

In the end, Director Cui threw both of them to the martial arts director for two days of emergency training.

As the saying goes, there is a lot of joy in the silly crew, and in fact a big reason for this is Director Cui’s shooting habits.

As a master of costume dramas, Director Cui applied previous techniques to the filming of "Three Realms" and also made some innovations.

Fairy tale dramas themselves rely heavily on special effects, and there are many places where performances are performed without physical objects, not to mention that the plots are so beyond the three views of ordinary people.

For the actors to perform that feeling seriously, they really need a strong sense of belief and a high sense of humor to keep themselves from laughing.

In one night, the entire crew was flooded with various animated emoticons of the two of them. Even the usually dignified You Xin played with the memes of the male lead and the male supporting role.

Lu Rong did not play openly. Yan Congsheng cared too much about his image in front of him, so he had to secretly save all the emoticons and share them with Jing Xian.
