Xiao He quickly skimmed through the script and soon made a rough summary of the character.

The character's personality isn't particularly unique. In many films and television shows, crime bosses are generally portrayed as ruthless, cruel, and terrifying. However, it must be said that in the current Chinese entertainment industry, very few young actors can portray this character so convincingly.

Because he needs to be ruthless enough, so that the audience can feel the protagonist's fear even through the screen, and his performance needs to be imposing enough, with acting skills that can overshadow the other actors.

Otherwise, if the character has been built up for so long, and then the person actually appears and all the momentum collapses, it'll just look like a street thug acting like a hooligan. The audience will only have one thought in their minds: "Is that all?"

Of course, Xiao He has absolutely no need to worry about this.

Liu Rulan was busy with other things when she noticed Xiao He put down his phone. She looked up and asked, "What do you think?"

“I can accept it.” Xiao He nodded. “I think Director Wang is really going to realize his dream of entering the entertainment industry this time.”

This script is actually quite unique. It creates a third-party perspective between the two camps of police and criminals, with the protagonist Mu Wen, who originally did not belong to either side, participating in the case from the perspective of both participants and recorders.

The struggle between the two sides is also vividly portrayed. These criminal gangs are not only arrogant but also extremely cunning. The police have repeatedly tried to track down the sellers and buyers, but have failed many times. The criminal gangs have also repeatedly tried to exploit loopholes to smuggle antiques, but have been successfully intercepted and confiscated by the police on multiple occasions.

Although the entire series isn't very long, only about 16 episodes in total, Xiao He felt that as an ordinary viewer, he would quite enjoy watching this type of TV drama.

Liu Rulan noticed the satisfaction on Xiao He's face and nodded, "I just checked your recent filming schedule. You've been filming action scenes these past few days, so the filming schedule is very heavy and you definitely won't be able to come. However, after the action scenes, Director Ren has arranged about two days of rest for you. I'll go ask Director Ren first to see if he'd be willing to give you an extra day off."

According to Wang Xingyuan, in such emergency situations, it usually doesn't take too much time; the entire storyline for this character can be filmed in two or three days.

Xiao He hesitated for a moment: "Director Ren shouldn't mind, right?"

I heard that this is considered filming multiple projects at once in the entertainment industry?

Liu Rulan understood immediately: "Oh, you mean filming multiple projects at once?"

Xiao He nodded: "Yes, it seems that fans in the industry are quite resistant."

Liu Rulan chuckled: "You seem to know more and more these days, but don't worry, this is nothing. You're not going to play a major role over there. It's just a short-term replacement. Director Ren will usually agree after a little communication. Besides, it's just to adjust your subsequent filming schedule. It won't delay the overall progress of the crew."

In the early days, filming multiple movies simultaneously was a sign of an actor's hard work and dedication. During the peak of Hong Kong cinema, almost all stars filmed multiple movies at the same time. Not filming multiple movies at the same time only meant that the actor was not famous enough. At the peak, some stars could film 14 movies in a year.

However, later on, the phenomenon of actors taking on multiple roles simultaneously became rampant, and actors who lacked the ability were forced to take on multiple roles, which gradually led to the term becoming a derogatory term.

Generally speaking, fans and directors dislike filming multiple projects simultaneously for two main reasons. One is that seamless transitions between multiple projects can easily lead to a decline in performance quality. The other is that if a lead actor is filming multiple projects at the same time, it will likely affect the filming schedule of the entire production, and other main actors will have to wait for the actor who was filming multiple projects to return before they can start filming.

Liu Rulan patted Xiao He on the shoulder, half teasing and half disdainfully saying, "You little Karami, you should go wash up and go to bed early. I've met the most hardworking person in the industry before, who had 17 movies and several other gigs in one year. Don't worry about it."

Xiao He: ?

ah?
