This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

Chapter 43, This is how experiential learning works.

The next day, when Li Qing arrived at the film set, he had changed into a black tracksuit, looking somewhat like the character "Gui Hai Yi Dao" from the drama.

I arrived at the film set today as usual.

The next scene will be a dialogue scene.

"Don't be so nervous, just act according to your own ideas."

"If you can't pass it the first time, try twice; if you can't pass it twice, try three times..."

Assistant Director Jiang Yue offered gentle words of comfort.

Fortunately, Guihai Yidao's team was assigned a gentle female assistant director, whose temperament was relatively mild.

At this moment, she was specifically trying to comfort Li Qing and make him less nervous.

Actually, for the veteran actors from Hong Kong's TVB, this doesn't matter.

After all, Li Qing did act, and she did act according to the standards of acting.

But that's all there is to it.

How well he acted...

It's really not that bad.

It's barely passable.

He only scratched the surface, failing to capture the essence.

As everyone has come to understand from the past few days of filming, Li Qing follows the method acting approach, and that's exactly what the method acting approach is all about.

The good performances were excellent, while the bad performances... were only mediocre at best.

That's how experiential learning works; you have to understand the character and immerse yourself in the role.

Some lunatics even create a character, a personality, to live beside them.

At this moment, it wasn't Li Qing's turn yet; he was just watching from the side.

Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo are here to connect the subplots, as is the scene where Shangguan Haitang comes. Because of Princess Yunluo's schedule, we need to finish filming the script connecting the episodes here first.

"I am Shangguan Haitang."

"I am the real one!"

The drama is currently showing the scene of "the real and the fake Shangguan Haitang".

One of them was an imposter, a man of a thousand faces.

Ironically, Ye Xuan'er's body double is also a man...

"Ha! I found the crabapple tree!"

Princess Yunluo's intelligence also matches the character's persona in the drama; she ran straight to the Thousand-Faced Gentleman with a simple and honest demeanor.

"Hahaha! You never expected this, did you? I am the one with a thousand faces..."

Fortunately, Shangguan Haitang cleverly faked her death, which allowed the Thousand-Faced Gentleman to be countered.

After successfully counterattacking, Shangguan Haitang remained calm and composed, still displaying the natural elegance of a refined gentleman amidst the chaos of the world.

Cunning, calm in the face of danger, a young girl in appearance, a gentleman in demeanor.

This is Ye Xuan'er's portrayal of Shangguan Haitang—natural, unrestrained, and heroic.

Li Qing sighed in admiration, deeply impressed by the acting skills and quick immersion in their roles of these veteran actors.

This is what a true actor is like.

It's not about being able to play any role convincingly, but rather about being able to embody any role to the fullest extent.

The nature of the role is already clear in my mind.

I am the role, and the role is the degree to which I am.

but...

Today, I am not fighting alone.

Li Qing glanced at the air beside him and nodded, a sight that caused those around him to involuntarily move away slightly.

In Li Qing's world, there stood right next to him, 'Guihai Yidao'.

He has no face, so he stands there.

He was simply facing the film set.

Facing the world of "The Greatest Under Heaven".

...

After filming their scenes with Princess Yunluo and Cheng Shifei, they hurriedly left the set to return to their own group and continue filming their own segments.

Time was tight, like gears meshing together, perfectly aligned.

Extremely dedicated.

At the same time, Jiang Yue nodded.

Ye Xuan'er, Princess Yunluo, and Cheng Shifei all performed exceptionally well.

There was absolutely no awkwardness between the three of them acting together, and they could usually get through a scene in just a few takes.

"Oh, if only we could film that part about right and wrong," Jiang Yueru thought.

As a director, I also prefer to work with actors who can bring me unexpected surprises.

Who doesn't like to collaborate with better people?

Just as Jiang Yue was preparing, two voices came from the side.

Upon hearing these two voices, Jiang Yue immediately stood up nervously.

"Mr. Wang, Director Deng."

They are the producer and the director.

Wang Jing was chubby and always had a smile on his face, but Jiang Yue wasn't fooled by his appearance; he was very strict...

At the same time, Deng Cheng is the kind of person who looks kind but is actually very authoritative.

Jiang Yue felt a little upset. If she had known that the leaders were coming to inspect the set, she would have filmed the scenes involving Shi Fei, Princess Yunluo, and Ye Xuan'er first.

All three performed very well and consistently... I, as the director, was also able to impress the leaders.

"No, you can keep filming, don't worry about me." Wang Jing smiled and said, "My role now isn't director, it's screenwriter, it's producer."

Deng Cheng then looked at Jiang Yue and said.

"Which scene are we filming now?"

"We need to film scenes featuring Gui Haiyidao and Ye Xuan'er."

Sex scenes

But it's not entirely a sex scene.

The scene being filmed is of Gui Haiyi Dao lying in bed with Ye Xuan'er after being struck by Tian Gang Yuan Qi.

The main focus is on Haitang's feelings for Yidao, as well as the dramatic scenes depicting Yidao's inner turmoil.

Judging by their condition and acting skills.

"You personally selected this Guihai Yidao, but I wonder what his quality is like," Wang Jing teased from the side.

"There won't be any major problems."

Deng Cheng smiled and said, "His usual performance may not be as good as Ye Huajian's, but if he has one or two memorable moments, people will remember 'Guihai Yidao'."

This was actually Deng Cheng's choice.

Deng Cheng remembered Li Qing's "madness" during her audition that day.

The minimum standard is to deliver a performance that the audience remembers.

As for acting skills at other times... well, it can't be said that they're unimportant.

However, when weighing the pros and cons, it is more appealing to make people remember the emotional outburst.

Of course, Jiang Yue is different in this respect. She values average performance more and seeks to avoid mistakes rather than make outstanding contributions.

A high level of average performance is what matters.

As for the emotional climaxes and such, it's no surprise that director Deng, who comes from a background in cult films, delivers...

"It doesn't matter." Wang Jing shrugged.

Anyway, Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei were there to back him up, and he had already visited the film sets on both sides.

Cheng Shifei's performance was commendable. In addition, as a screenwriter, he is good at slapstick and comedic scenes, which complements Guo Quan'an's performance perfectly.

Duan Tianya's performance was also commendable.

With these two in the cast, the show's standards are bound to be high.

Wang Jing is confident that the ratings will soar to over 5 points.

"What are you waiting for us for? Let's get started," Deng Cheng said with a smile.

"oh oh..."

Jiang Yue shouted into the walkie-talkie.

「10..9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...」

"start!"

As the sound of the wooden planks echoed, filming began.

...

"Good luck. I'll have your back during the rehearsal later."

Ye Xuan'er also cheered Li Qing on, then lay down on the table, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
