Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 146
The prologue scene of "Sword of Heaven" is a flashback shooting technique arranged by Li Guoli, putting things that should have happened in the future at the very beginning of the first episode.

Although the main shots are basically given to Xu Jinjiang's "Moon Worshiper", Sun Li's "Witch Queen" and Huang Zhixian's "Witch King".

But in the end, I just want to tell the audience one thing—the childhood Zhao Linger was rescued by the [future] Li Xiaoyao, so the fate between the [now] Li Xiaoyao and the grown-up Zhao Linger is destined by heaven.

This is also the main reason why most audiences like to see Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger as a couple when Lin Yueru appears later.

If there hadn't been for [Future] Li Xiaoyao's rescue of Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru's supporters would probably be even more.

Sun Li's "Queen of Witches" fights against water monsters, Xu Jinjiang and Huang Zhixian's rivalry scenes, and many interspersed scenes in the prologue took a total of three days to complete.

Chu Xuan's personal scenes, and the scene of [Aunt Li] played by Teacher Yang Kun in Yuhang Town, took another three days to shoot.

Concubine Liu Yi hasn't filmed all the time, she is very bored, she rests her chin on her hands, "Brother Xiaoyao, when will you come to Xianling Island to find me? Otherwise, do you believe me or not?"

— August 6st.

Somewhere in Lishui, Zhejiang Province, the scene of Xianling Island.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the wind and the sun are beautiful.

The set was being prepared, and Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were strolling in the grass.

Here is near the water, the air is slightly humid, there is still morning dew on the green grass and leaves, and the fresh air occasionally drifts a scent of flowers, accompanied by the breeze, which is refreshing.

"Finally waiting for you." Concubine Liu Yi was wearing an ancient light green dress and she had finished her makeup. She walked as if she was kicking a ball lightly. Every step she took, the grass would suffer, and the morning dew on the leaves would be kicked away by her.

"The scene is arranged like this, don't blame me." Chu Xuan was wearing a gray and white ancient costume, with a ponytail hanging on the back of his head, and walked beside Concubine Liu Yi with his arms folded.

"I've been waiting for you for ten years!" Concubine Liu Yi spoke louder, pretending to be annoyed, but wrinkled her nose and pursed her lips playfully.

Chu Xuan tilted his head to look at her, and said, "Student Qianqian, are you too involved in the drama?"

Concubine Liu Yi didn't speak, tilted her head slightly, looked sideways at Chu Xuan, and said after a while: "We have to go through meeting, worship, marriage, and bridal chamber."

"I wanted to peek at you taking a shower at first." Chu Xuan added.

"That's right! You still want to peek at me taking a shower! What a shame!" Concubine Liu Yi said angrily.

"But it's none of my business, that's what Li Xiaoyao did." Chu Xuan shook his head.

Concubine Liu Yi turned her head, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Then what do you think?"

Chu Xuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I will look at it openly."

Concubine Liu Yi reached out and hit Chu Xuan, humming twice.

Walking to the river, Chu Xuan squatted down.

Under Concubine Liu Yi's slightly lowered gaze, Chu Xuan stretched out his hand into the water and slid twice.

Chu Xuan got up and said, "The water is still cold, you can shoot again in a few hours, so as not to catch a cold."

Concubine Liu Yi frowned, and said, "Listen to you."

The staff on the set are arranging the props in an orderly manner, and Li Guoli and other directors are adjusting the shots.

Liu Xiaoli can naturally think of the problems that Chu Xuan can think of.

The water was still cold, fearing that her daughter would catch a cold, Liu Xiaoli asked Li Guoli to postpone the scene of "Li Xiaoyao peeking at Zhao Linger taking a bath" to a later date.

This is a trivial matter, and Li Guoli immediately agreed.

After all, Concubine Liu Yi is also the heroine, if she gets sick and delays the filming progress, that would be troublesome.

However, if this scene is postponed, it is impossible to just wait for the water to warm up.

"Where are Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi?"

"Look at the scenery over there."

"Call them over, this scene will be postponed, and the latter scene will be moved forward, ready to start work."

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were called back by the staff, and when they heard that the later scenes were to be filmed first, they understood.

"The next thing is to film the scene where you peeked at me taking a shower, and I was going to kill you when I landed, but I recognized you as brother Xiaoyao." Concubine Liu Yi flipped through the script.

"Yes." Chu Xuan nodded.

"Brother Xuan, why does Zhao Linger recognize Li Xiaoyao, but Li Xiaoyao doesn't recognize Zhao Linger?" Concubine Liu Yi questioned.

"Because it was the [future] Li Xiaoyao who went back to the [past] and rescued Zhao Linger when she was a child. When Zhao Linger grew up, she met the [now] Li Xiaoyao who had not experienced future events. Therefore, Zhao Linger knew Li Xiaoyao, Li Xiaoyao doesn't know Zhao Linger. Li Xiaoyao has to go through the past in the future before he realizes that you are the same Zhao Linger back then." Chu Xuan explained.

Concubine Liu Yi was silent, stroking her thoughts, and said after a while: "Understood, but it's so complicated."

"It's not difficult to understand after you figure it out," Chu Xuan said.

Concubine Liu Yi glanced at the script, moved her eyes a few times, and said, "Brother Xuan, I want to change the actions of the characters in the script, and maybe change some lines, including yours."

Chu Xuan was startled.

Whether it's Wang Yuyan or policewoman Aqian, Concubine Liu Yi only proposes some props to assist the performance in the crew.

Based on Chu Xuan's understanding of Concubine Liu Yi, it is enough for Concubine Liu Yi to play the role well according to the script.

As for changing the script?
Concubine Liu Yi has never had such thoughts and practices before.

From Chu Xuan's point of view, it is very difficult for such a thing to happen to Concubine Liu Yi at this stage.

However, this is a good thing.

Chu Xuan glanced at Concubine Liu Yi, and said, "This is the first time you have thought of changing the script."

Concubine Liu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "It doesn't count as changing the script, the plot remains the same, I just don't want to act according to the character description in the script, I think maybe my image fits Zhao Linger, but Zhao Linger in the script is not like me, maybe like The me in the past, but definitely not like the me now. It gives me the feeling that Zhao Linger is still very similar to Wang Yuyan, but I don’t want to play that kind of quiet character image again.”

After experiencing many times of help and explanation of the performance by Chu Xuan, as well as the filming of "New Police Story", she has a clearer understanding of the roles played by her previous self.

Whether it is Bai Xiuzhu or Wang Yuyan, the biggest problem is that they have no feelings and rely entirely on her image to support the role.

Just like after "Dragon" was broadcast, some neutral netizens said that her Wang Yuyan didn't have much affection for Murong Fu, and she couldn't feel how much Wang Yuyan liked Murong Fu.

Emotional scenes are difficult to perform, not to mention that she herself has never experienced love and love before.

Therefore, she also accepted the comments made by netizens about her lack of emotion in acting.

But now, not only has she experienced feelings, but she is also acting with someone she likes.

She felt that she could shape Zhao Linger better, make Zhao Linger a very emotional person, let the audience take a look at Zhao Linger, and make the audience think that she is the best match for Li Xiaoyao, and there is no one.

Concubine Liu Yi felt that facing Chu Xuan, she could do it.

"What do you think? I will cooperate with you." Chu Xuan said gently.

"I don't want to tell you yet, I want to spend time with you, let Director Li see how it goes." Concubine Liu Yi smiled.

When Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi expressed their intention to perform their own acting first, Li Guoli also agreed.

"It's good for an actor to have an idea. I'll give you an hour to act. I'll see if it's good or not."

With Li Guoli's consent, Concubine Liu Yi was very happy. She waved to her mother and walked to the set with Chu Xuan.

Liu Xiaoli was very pleased, as Chu Xuan said just now, this was the first time in her life that her daughter Qianqian asked to change the play.

The changed play is not necessarily correct, but this incident also shows that her daughter Cici has more and more thoughts on acting, and her daring to propose a change of play also means that she is becoming more and more confident.

And it was with the permission of the director, and it wasn't just playing around casually.

From her mother's point of view, her daughter Cici has improved again.

"Don't tell me if you have an idea. I'm still the one who plays with you. Your behavior is very unfriendly to me. Is this letting me play freely?" Chu Xuan said as he walked.

"There are a lot of ideas, and I can't explain it for a while. You will know after one performance. Whether the performance is good or not depends on whether you are worthy or not. It's time to test our tacit understanding." Liu Yifei said sweetly.

"Okay, let's play with you, as long as you are happy." Chu Xuan said flatly.

Concubine Liu Yi blinked at Chu Xuan, and said quietly, "My boyfriend is really nice."

"Wait for me, I'll find my mood." Concubine Liu Yi took her seat, looking for her mood in silence.

Chu Xuan waited in his place, not knowing what kind of surprise Liu Yifei would give.

In his opinion, Concubine Liu Yi dared to propose and this is the first time to change the play, then Concubine Liu Yi must have a very good idea, and it is a very firm idea in her heart, otherwise, based on Concubine Liu Yi's perception of her performance level, Concubine Liu Yi is She won't take the initiative to ask for a play change. It is enough for her to act well according to the script.
