Surprise! The wife of a top star is actually a Nobel Prize winner

But Li Xiao is different.

He was really immersed in playing a supporting role.

He takes every role as an extra and every time facing the camera very seriously.

Under the scorching sun of summer, he, who was prone to sweating, often soaked his not-so-fine ancient costume with sweat.

Sometimes I have to lie in the mud in a very miserable state for half the morning.

Sweat, mud, and blood (props) were stuck to his body, and even without makeup, people who knew him wouldn't recognize his face unless they looked closely.

The most difficult part was shooting in winter clothes under the scorching sun.

Whenever Li Xiao had such a minor role, Qian Cencheng didn't dare to take it. She was very worried that his body wouldn't be able to handle it and he would faint from heatstroke.

She would always stay in a slightly secluded place, prepared with ice cubes, cold towels, a small fan, anti-heat medicine, etc. When Li Xiao came over, she would quickly help him clean his thick winter clothes and hand him all the anti-heat tools.

It was often at this time that Li Xiao felt that he was alive again.

Do you want to ask Li Xiao if he is tired?

Of course I’m tired, but I’m happier more often.

He was happy when he gained some insights while playing the role of a lying corpse, when he had some epiphanies while watching the other main characters perform their characters brilliantly, when the director occasionally praised him for the good performance of an extra, and when he was playing supporting roles in a play with Qian Cencheng and saw her funny moments.

As long as you gain something, it doesn’t matter if you’re tired or hard-working.

Besides, he was just an extra and didn't have much time to act on stage. The main actors had to wear thick winter clothes every day in the hot weather to perform the entire play. Wouldn't that be even more tiring?

However, after playing supporting roles in so many productions, he has truly come to realize that behind the glamorous appearance of stars, the hardships they have to endure in order to become an accomplished actor are unimaginable to ordinary people.

In fact, this is not the case in all industries.

If you want to succeed, you must endure hardships that are unbearable for ordinary people.

......

Li Xiangyang's arrival interrupted Li Xiao and Qian Cencheng's happy life of being extras.

The next day after he arrived in Hengdian, he followed the two dressed-up little guys to meet the leader of the group who was assigned the work.

Li Xiao and Qian Cencheng didn't dress in any special way that day, just the ordinary outfits they had worn before.

Teacher Li was a little disappointed because he really wanted to see the two kids' supposedly bizarre costumes.

And Qian Cencheng predicted his prediction in advance.

She just deliberately put on the most common fake makeup that Li Xiao used, and Li Xiao agreed to her wish. It was not a big deal to play a prank on the teacher.

In the past, when taking jobs from the group leaders, the group leaders would consider the needs of the crew for that day, and Li Xiao would then pick the roles he wanted to play, and Qian Cencheng would take the lead.

Teacher Li came today and took over the job of selecting roles for Li Xiao. He consciously gave Li Xiao a role that he had played before.

Then he joined them.

Waiting for the show together, watching the leading actors perform together, watching the two of them play supporting roles alone, or watching Li Xiao play a supporting role with Qian Cencheng.

While watching the leading actors perform, it is also his time to teach.

He would quietly analyze to Li Xiao why the actors on the set expressed themselves in that way, what were the advantages and disadvantages of such acting, why the director kept making NGs in this scene, what exactly the director needed, etc.

Teacher Li became famous when he was in his thirties.

Before this, he had been on the film set for more than ten years and had extensive acting experience. He was familiar with the on-site shooting procedures and techniques.

This kind of on-site teaching is much better than playing videos and reading from textbooks in class.

When he returned home in the evening, Li Xiao no longer had to submit his homework electronically, but could hand it in face to face.

Teacher Li first asked him to talk about his feelings about the roles he played that day, and then the teacher combined them with similar roles he had submitted before, and gave him comments, guidance and demonstrations on the spot.

Li Xiao finally understood why Teacher Li had chosen a supporting role he'd played before. He'd been puzzled. Hadn't Teacher Li told him not to repeat a role? It turned out he was comparing his previous performances with his current ones, guiding him one by one, and helping him see his shortcomings and progress.

At the end of the day, Li Xiao felt that he had learned more than in the previous week.

In the next few days, Teacher Li was responsible for getting work from the leaders of various groups for Li Xiao and Qian Cencheng.

Sometimes when he feels like acting, if he encounters a supporting role that interests him, he will go on stage himself to demonstrate to Li Xiao, or join them in performing in a group scene.

Now the group leaders are even more surprised.

There are parents who come here with their children to play around, bah bah bah, this is to experience life!

These three really broadened their horizons!

This also made Li Xiao clearly realize the gap between himself and his teacher.

Also serving as a "gatekeeper" at the palace gate, his teacher could really be like the guards in front of the ancient monarch's palace, standing like a pine tree, with a vigilant look in his eyes, as if he could rush forward to resolve the problem as soon as he discovered danger.

He maintained this state even when the camera didn't capture their doorway, until the director shouted "Cut".

Even though it is the same scene of lying dead, the teacher can perform it in a way that makes people feel as if they are in the scene, their hair stands on end, and they can’t bear to watch it.

The teacher said that no matter how big or small the role is, once you accept the role, you are the character in the play, and you have to become this person in order to play the role well.

The more Li Xiao watched and learned, the more he felt that he still had a long way to go if he wanted to become an actor as talented as Teacher Li.

After two days of on-site teaching by Teacher Li, Qian Cencheng finally helped him get a double room in their hotel, and then helped him move in very enthusiastically.

Only after living next door to Li Xiao did she clearly realize how bad Li Xiao's sleep was.

If there was a slight noise outside, he would definitely show up with a swollen face the next day.

The question is, I didn’t sleep well yesterday because of the noise outside.

Teacher Li was so worried about him during the two days she slept in the same room with him, okay?!

So these two days, she has been particularly diligent in getting close to the hotel front desk, just to be the first to know about available rooms.

It can be seen that her silence and dislike of dealing with strangers also depend on the situation.

At the same time that Teacher Li moved to his own room, Zhong Ruoxin also came to Hengdian.

Not only that, Qian Qing also came here with Zhong Ruoxin after about twenty days.

When Qian Cencheng and Li Xiao finished helping Teacher Li move and returned to the door of their room, they were very surprised to see her brother and sister both carrying large and small bags of luggage.

"Sister Ruoxin, Brother Qing, are you guys...running away from home in a group?!"

Zhong Ruoxin said: I am here to take care of you.

Qian Qing said: I'm here to eat for free.

Qian Cencheng: ...
