After wearing the book, the straight male actor and female debut

After three days of etiquette training, Zuo Ran took his assistant Xiaomei, makeup artist Xiaoli, and bodyguard Xiaoluo to report to the crew of "Twin Flowers".

Director Nie Xia is an internationally renowned Chinese director who has won many honors such as the Best Director Award at the 87th Academy Awards. Screenwriter Yu Lan is a well-known gold screenwriter in China. After Lu-Man joined, the filming lineup of "Twin Flowers" can be described as quite luxurious.

Different from other movies, "Twin Flowers" was quite low-key before the filming started, and there was no word about the casting, which is probably Nie Xia's usual style.

Before joining the group, Zuo Ran specially took the time to watch Nie Xia's works. The styles are changeable and the shooting techniques are beautiful. He is a talented director with great ideas and good at self-challenge.

The suspenseful fantasy story "Twin Flowers" was entrusted to him to shoot, so it was perfectly appropriate, but

Nie Xia is a person who likes to pick out details, and is capable of perfecting the characters he admires to the point of nitpicking. He once proposed to the investor to change the heroine because he was dissatisfied with the performance of a popular female artist. He voluntarily terminated the contract and quit.

A typical case of being rich and willful.

Other directors are trying to make investors happy and get more money, but he does the opposite, and because of his strong background, no one can handle him. During the filming, the crew is his—Yan Tang, temporarily changing the script and stuffing the actors Airborne basically didn't exist, but over time, he became a famous director with a unique style that is enviable.

Before this, Zuo Ran only came into contact with Nie Xia once during the audition, and the other party's first evaluation of him was: "You don't look like a woman."

Zuo Ran never expected such a straight-to-the-point, without a hint of euphemistic evaluation.

Because of the influence of the plot, no one he met except Lu Xiao had ever doubted his true gender.

Nie Xia didn't doubt his gender, but simply felt that he didn't fit the image of the heroine Li Jing in the play. script.

In that audition, Nie Xia let him try four plots, and finally nodded his head reluctantly, leaving a sentence: "You are more suitable for reversing."

Zuo Ran was powerless to refute, because Li Jing was his reverse role, and there were many reasons for his failure to perform perfectly.

The filming crew's first stop was at the Film and Television City in City M, which is a four-hour drive from City A.

Lu Xiao took a moment to send him a WeChat message. It was a 15-second short video. In the video, Lu Xuanming was brushing the raccoon cat's fur. The cat owner squinted his eyes and held his head high, looking quite enjoying it.

Suddenly, Zuo Ran had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He finally understood why the raccoon cat looked familiar to him. There was such a cat beside his master.

The body shape, fur color pattern, white scarf and four little feet are almost exactly the same!

Is it a coincidence?

Zuo Ran—the time was a little dazed, probably seeing that he didn't reply to the message, Lu Xiao directly made a video call: "Have you arrived at the set yet?"

"Just arrived, I haven't seen Director Nie yet."

"Ranran, are you...are you under pressure?" Lu Xiao seemed a little absent-minded when he heard his tone.

"Hmm." Zuo Ran was slightly taken aback, and joked with him, "Director Wan-Nie is dissatisfied with my performance and wants to drive me out of the crew, what should I do?"

"Then I'll drive him away first." Lu Xiao blurted out, then chuckled, "Since when did you lose confidence in yourself?"

Zuo Ran's eyelids drooped slightly: "Because it's a cross-dressing."

If there is no interference of world consciousness, he can only give a maximum of seven points out of ten with his acting skills playing a female role.

A male character with the same depth and personality, if he can achieve the director's effect with eight points of effort, in the case of reverse play, he must pay 100% concentration and effort, and he may not be able to get full marks.

This is the difference.

"But there is pressure to be motivated." Zuo Ran changed the subject, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He basically won all the awards he should have won in his previous life. Simply practicing the trumpet again is meaningless, "Lu Xiao, do you think there are two identical cats in this world?"

"There are no two leaves in this world—exactly the same, cats, of course it's the same." Although Lu Xiao felt that his topic was a bit jumpy, he still said his thoughts truthfully, "You mean to come to our house to eat The raccoon cat that drank?"

"Well, it looks familiar to me." In fact, Zuo Ran didn't deal with the cat next to Master carefully. Now that he thinks about it carefully, the cat and Master have never been in the same frame, but the little thing lived in Master's house. The place popped up a few times.

Maybe he remembered it wrong, or maybe he misread it.

"Tuk-tuk--" There was a knock on the door, and the crew explained a few words to Xiaomei.

Zuo Ran reckoned that it was time to gather, so he hurriedly talked to Lu Xiao, and hurriedly ended the call.

"Ranran, the crew came over just now and said that the leading actors are all here, and the director asked everyone to go over and have a short meeting."

The participants included directors, screenwriters, leading actors, and some important role actors. Nie Xia presided over the meeting of more than ten people, and announced straight to the point: before the official start of filming, there will be a special training for about a week, including etiquette , gestures, lines, etc.

The script "Twin Flowers" tells a fantasy and suspenseful story that took place in the Republic of China. The first scene of the storyboard is Shanghai at night when the lights are just on, and the lights are bright in the distance. Screaming: "Killed—"

The camera zooms in, and a beautiful woman in a white brocade cheongsam is lying in a pool of blood.

When the people from the patrol room arrived in a hurry, there were only dark red blood stains on the ground, and the body was nowhere to be found.

The heroine leaves the mirror, and the chapter begins abruptly.

However, the story does not start in a flashback. Three years later, a family of thirteen members of a local arms supplier died overnight in a sea of ​​flames.

On top of the ruins, a delicate-flashy-desire-dropping pure white twin flower was inserted abruptly on a piece of burnt blackened wood.

Witnesses saw that a beautiful woman in a white cheongsam left the supplier in the middle of the night. Not long after, a fire broke out there.

Private detective Mu Xia and detective Zhong Yuan, the two old rivals, were entrusted with a heavy responsibility and forced to join forces to solve the case.

The suspect of the arms supplier has not yet been found, and the second murder happened again...

Because the background of the story is set in the period of the Republic of China, the costumes of the important female characters in the play are basically cheongsams. With the help of a well-known domestic modeling team, under the strict requirements of Director Nie, the props and scenery strive to restore lifelikeness.

At the end of the short meeting, Nie Xia uttered "ruthless words" in front of everyone: "Ugly words come first, those who plan to take advantage of troubled waters, pack up and leave as soon as possible, and those whose acting skills are not up to standard, prepare to be scolded in advance. If you scold me and teach me, you won’t get the hang of it, so don’t say you know me when you go out and turn left.”

As soon as these words came out, several actors with high status and backgrounds who were obviously inferior to actor Xiao and actress Lu obviously didn't dare to meet Nie Xia's eyes.

Everyone felt sorry for him: I had heard that Director Nie was famous and had a bad temper, and the rumors were true.

Fortunately, in the world of novels, in reality, a director with such a bad temper is probably going to be sacked.Zuo Ran slandered secretly, with a calm expression on his face. He did not object to Nie Xia's strictness, just like the saying "Strict teachers make good students", but when it comes to the principles of life, this is obviously a negative example.

After the meeting, the cast and crew immediately went into special training.

According to regulations, in order to adapt to the role in advance, the first step for the actors to do is to change their costumes, put on the costumes in the play, put on makeup, and then complete basic etiquette training under the guidance of the etiquette teacher, including walking, sitting, etc. , laughing, etc. - every move.

Before Zuo Ran came to report to the crew, he had done the basic disguise work. Now after changing into a white cheongsam, he sat in front of the makeup mirror, and Xiaoli put on the makeup.

"Ranran, when I went to the bathroom just now, I heard someone discussing that the director is so fierce!" Assistant Xiaomei lowered her voice, with a worried face, "Director Nie doesn't know how to beat people, does he?"

"It's true that it has a very fierce face." On the side, Xiao Luo folded his arms and nodded.

Because it was in a separate small dressing room, Zuo Ran basically wouldn't interfere with the few of them talking in low voices: "You can't just look at people on the surface."

Nie Xia is only 36 years old this year, and he has already achieved such great results. He is a veritable talented player, not to mention the temper that most people cannot appreciate. His appearance is above average, because he has a stern face all the year round, a fierce and hard-to-communicate appearance, which makes him feel bad.

"Also, don't talk about people's right and wrong behind their backs." Zuo Ran smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and made a shush gesture to them.

Xiaomei nodded quickly, and made a movement of zipping her mouth shut.

Just when it was quiet here, there was a knock on the door outside the dressing room. It was Lu Man and her assistant who were ready next door.

After Xiaomei went to open the door, Lu Man came over with a smile: "Ranran, have you finished putting on your makeup? Let's go over together."

"My side is still close, Sister Lu, go there first." Zuo Ran smiled at her and declined the proposal.

Lu Man responded with a smile, and then left with his assistant. After walking away, the assistant said indignantly: "Sister Lu, this Zuo Ran didn't give you face too much. You're just a newcomer. Why are you so rude?" Arrogant?"

"Heh." Lu Man glanced at the assistant who had not been in the office for a long time. He didn't say much, but he had already made a decision in his heart: let the agent replace her later. Knowing how to stir up trouble, could it be the undercover agent sent by her opponent?

Everyone in Lu's media knows that Zuo Ran is a newcomer that Mr. Lu strongly recommends. Although she has only acted in one movie, her acting skills are outstanding for all to see. Isn't it fun for you to go to trouble with Zuo Ran?

At the same time, in the dressing room, the assistant Xiaomei asked Zuo Ran very puzzled: "Ranran, do you have a problem with Lu Yinghou..."?It doesn't seem right either.

"To avoid suspicion." Zuo Ran said half-truthfully, with a slight smile in his eyes, "You Lu is always jealous, and you will eat everyone's jealousy."
