This actor needs more money

"Do you know where Xu Wenqiang is?"

In the study, Li Xuejian still asked expressionlessly.

Not far away, Ding Xiu replied dully: "I don't know."

After filming together for so many days, he has already experienced Li Xuejian's acting skills, which can be said to be superb.

People say that people with good acting skills are very good at managing facial expressions. A frown, a glare, or a laugh all contain the character's personality.

But Feng Jingyao, played by Li Xuejian, rarely showed any expression when facing Ding Xiu, Xu Wenqiang, and his men. He kept a straight face throughout the whole process, neither sad nor happy, and spoke very slowly and indifferently.

But just because there is no expression on the face doesn't mean that the person can't act.

His play is all in his eyes and tone.

For example, now, Li Xuejian paused and said, "Is Xu Wenqiang nice to you, or am I nice to you?"

There was just a pause, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the meaning was obvious.

I know you know where Xu Wenqiang is. Now I give you two choices, either follow me or follow Xu Wenqiang.

What it means at a deeper level is that either he dies or you both die together.

Ding Xiu was neither humble nor arrogant, and said word by word: "Mr. Feng once said that friendship is the most important thing in the world. Without Brother Qiang, Ding Li would not be where he is today. I don't want to be a treacherous person."

After saying these awe-inspiring words, he looked at Feng Jingyao and saw that he didn't respond. He swallowed and continued:

"But now that I am working for Mr. Feng, I naturally belong to Mr. Feng. I will do whatever Mr. Feng tells me. I have always had this attitude."

"Okay!" Li Xuejian praised him and said calmly: "Bring me Xu Wenqiang's body."

Ding Xiu was completely devastated, with a bit of sadness on his face, and said softly, "Yes!"

In the process of turning around, he turned around very slowly, hoping that this was just a test by Feng Jingyao and he would stop immediately.

Until he walked out of the door, there was no sound behind him.

"Click!"

"Pass!"

"The camera is going to take some close-ups next time."

"Teacher Li, Ding Xiu, this is great, thank you for your hard work."

Before filming started, Ding Xiu and Li Xuejian said they wanted to change two lines to try out the effect. Gao Xi agreed after hearing this.

I didn't expect the results to be so good.

The strong Ding Li is much more three-dimensional than the Ding Li who cried and begged Feng Jingyao for mercy.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Ding Li doesn't kill Xu Wenqiang, he will die. Even if he doesn't die, Feng Jingyao will send others to kill Xu Wenqiang.

So agreeing is the best choice.

Of course, the confusion on Ding Li's face here makes it difficult to tell whether he really wants to kill Xu Wenqiang. It's just that the director has read the script, knows the final outcome, and made a judgment in advance.

Picking up the thermos cup and taking a sip, Ding Xiu said, "It's all thanks to Teacher Li. He taught me how to act in this scene."

Being in a high position, one should not be indecisive. For a careerist and ruthless person like Ding Li, no matter how much he values ​​love and justice, he will not lose his composure in front of Feng Jingyao.

That's why he thought about changing his lines.

After all the changes, I had no idea how to play him. Thanks to Li Xuejian's constant suggestions, I finally had the current version.

"I just said a few words, but I'm not that capable." Li Xuejian smiled and said, "You are quite suitable to play a character like Ding Li, who is both good and evil."

Before joining the group, he had never heard of Ding Xiu's name. He only knew that he was a very popular young man. It was only after he got in touch with him that he realized how powerful Ding Xiu was.

The martial arts scenes are very strong.

The acting... is a bit erratic.

When playing the early role of Ding Li, the tension and rhythm were a bit lacking.

Just when he thought that Ding Xiu was like this, he was surprised again a few days later. Ding Li, played by Ding Xiu, went to kill people for money. His actions were ruthless and his eyes were fierce.

Those who didn't know thought that this guy had actually killed someone before.

Later, after Ding Li joined the gang, Ding Xiu became better and better, showing his true character as a hero in every move he made.

When facing Xu Wenqiang, he values ​​​​love and justice. When facing Feng Jingyao, he appears to be submissive, but in fact he is very ambitious and wants to replace him.

In the face of beauty, he also did not hide his true nature...

Li Xuejian once wondered whether Ding Xiu was not used to it when he first joined the group and had not yet adjusted well with other actors.

However, several emotional scenes between Ding Xiu and Sun Li made Li Xuejian understand that he was overthinking it. Ding Xiu chose roles, and he had a good grasp of both righteous and evil characters, but other scenes were almost uninteresting.

So he said that Ding Xiu is very suitable to play a character like Ding Li.

"Teacher Li, please don't hurt me. I have just transformed."

Ding Xiu joked.

"It's not necessary." Li Xuejian said seriously: "This is your advantage, why should you throw it away? An actor can perform his own style, which is what many people dream of."

"Besides, it's not time for you to make the transition. There's still a long way to go."

Actors who have been in the industry for a long time and are popular have their own acting style, which generally refers to a certain trait in their body.

The prerequisite for transformation is that after your own performance style is formed, you cannot break through before you can transform.

Many actors just acted in a few more dramas of the same type and then clamored for transformation. This is wrong. They are also playing old mothers, and the image of each mother must be different.

Li Xuejian read Ding Xiu's information a few days ago. There are many costume dramas, but the roles are all different. There is still a lot of room for improvement, and it is far from the extreme.

Ding Xiu smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

The transformation he understood was different from what Li Xuejian understood.

His transformation is a market issue. He wants to try more different roles, expand his acting career, and make more money.

At the end of the day, it’s all about fame and fortune.

The transformation that Li Xuejian understands is to improve his acting skills and start on the path of an old artist.

Everyone pursues something different.

…

In the evening, the crew worked overtime to shoot the night scene, and then in the afternoon filming, Ding Li chased Xu Wenqiang.

Just when everyone thought he was going to take action, he handed Xu Wenqiang a ticket and let him leave, showing his brotherly love.

Xu Wenqiang cut off a finger as an explanation.

Ding Li returned to Feng Mansion, handed Xu Wenqiang's finger to Feng Jingyao, and said that Xu Wenqiang had left Shanghai and would never come back.

Huang Xiaoming was very tired from filming this scene, and he felt like he was being suppressed by Ding Xiu in every aspect.

"Huh!" After watching the playback from the director's studio and the director said it was okay, Huang Xiaoming walked out and took a deep breath.

Ding Xiu seemed to have enlightened himself tonight, his acting skills improved a lot, which put him under a lot of pressure and he almost couldn't catch the scene several times.

In the director's studio, director Gao Xi lit a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Huang Xiaoming's back, and chuckled.

It's a good thing for actors in the same crew to be compared.

Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are not bad. Just look at his masterpiece, The Emperor, and he could compete with veteran actor Chen Daoming a few years ago.

It's just that I haven't received any good works or met good directors in the past few years, so my acting skills are sometimes high and sometimes low.

Tonight's scene was forced by Ding Xiu, and his performance was a little better than usual.

Being chased behind me, I believe tomorrow will be better.
