This matter is related to "The Legend of the Immortals: Fallen Flowers", so Duan Nianzhuang certainly didn't miss it.
Later, many netizens followed the official Weibo account of the production team to his Weibo account to follow him.
Everyone says the cast is quite good-looking, and as long as their acting isn't bad, they'll definitely watch the show.
Duan Nianzhuang, however, lacked confidence in his own acting skills.
He wasn't formally trained in acting; he only transitioned from a regular office worker to a star because of his good looks.
He was also quite lucky, having acted in several films and television series. Although he didn't become a big star, he did accumulate a lot of connections and experience.
However, since he wasn't formally trained, his acting skills were still lacking.
So he was quite worried that he wouldn't do a good job and would disappoint the audience.
Chang Xuan could understand Duan Nianzhuang.
Although he was struggling with memorizing lines, he was actually quite happy inside.
Chang Xuan's acting skills are quite good; he has formal training and has acted in many dramas.
He's never really become famous; he just needs a breakout hit to go viral.
The fact that "The Legend of the Immortals: Fallen Flowers" is already popular before it even airs presents him with an opportunity to become a breakout star.
So even though the script was suddenly changed this time, the time was so tight, and he had to memorize such difficult lines, Chang Xuan didn't complain at all.
He now only wishes that Director Wei could dig out the scenes he had filmed before, delete them, and start over.
He patted the script in his hand and laughed, "You'd better memorize it properly."
When Xu Yanyu arrived, she saw everyone holding their scripts and reciting their lines without even looking up.
She put her things aside and asked, "Everyone's here quite early today."
She usually arrives, but she never sees these people.
Today's spectacle made her think the sun had risen in the west.
Duan Nianzhuang looked up and replied, "There's no other way. I was afraid I hadn't memorized the lines I learned last night, so I came early to reinforce them."
Director Wei wants to speed up the filming process; I can't let everyone have to take too many takes, can I?
Everyone was a little puzzled by Xu Yanyu's leisurely demeanor.
They had more lines, but Xu Yanyu had even more.
Chang Xuan asked, "Have you memorized all your lines?"
Zhang Ying, who was standing to the side, also looked up at Xu Yanyu.
She was also holding a highlighter in her hand, which she used to take notes.
Xu Yanyu was about to nod, but seeing Zhang Ying's tightly furrowed brows, she changed her mind and said, "How could that be? I have so many lines! I need to practice them some more."
After listening to Xu Yanyu's words, Zhang Ying slowly lowered her head and picked up her pen to scribble again.
The other two also picked up their scripts and started muttering to themselves.
Seeing that everyone was busy and didn't have time to chat with her, Xu Yanyu took the script to the stylist for makeup and styling.
On the other side, Director Wei watched this scene with satisfaction.
He turned to the assistant director beside him and said, "Look, Tao Mimi was worried that making too many changes to the script might offend people."
And you're worried that with such a tight schedule, having them film so many scenes might lead to strikes or requests for leave.
"You're all overthinking it. People... won't get up early for nothing. With 'The Legend of the Immortals: Fallen Flowers' becoming a hit, not only am I anxious, but they are even more anxious than me."
They might actually be hoping I'd demand even more from them.
After Director Wei finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and leisurely started smoking.
The assistant director was adjusting the camera, and he replied, "You're right. By the way, where's Master Zhang?"
The scene we're going to film later is Liu Jing, guided by the male and female leads, going down the mountain to kill extraterrestrial demons.
We need him to be our martial arts instructor.
Director Wei took another drag of his cigarette before saying, "He went to pick out props."
After he finished speaking, he shouted to the group of people reciting their lines in the distance, "Aren't you all going to hurry up and change your clothes and get your makeup done?"
While it's necessary to capture the sun, there's no need to wait until midday to start shooting.
The people who were called got up and got busy.
An hour later, when they came out, they saw Xu Yanyu wearing a flowing gauze-woven robe with a lapel collar, holding a sword and showing it to Master Zhang.
Master Zhang was also holding a sword.
"Look... when you're sideways holding the sword, you flip it to the left, rotate it to the right, and then flick it from behind. This kind of rotation is what we call a sword flourish."
As Master Zhang spoke, the sword in his hand spun rapidly.
The flying swords were dazzling to behold.
Duan Nianzhuang couldn't help but clap and cheer.
No matter how many times everyone watches Master Zhang perform his sword dance, they still think he's amazing.
Master Zhang became even more enthusiastic.
His whole body shook with excitement.
Xu Yanyu saw this and was eager to try, but after thinking about it, she held back.
Director Wei walked over from the front and said, "Master Zhang, just teach them some simple movements that they can use."
"They can't learn anything too difficult, so we just need to design a few new sword techniques involving drawing and parrying the sword."
Director Wei knew that Master Zhang wanted to teach with his heart, but TV dramas nowadays are not like they used to be.
Few production teams have the courage to have actors spend a lot of time learning relevant skills in order to enable them to play their roles well.
His production team is considered to have high standards.
He also required the actors to memorize their lines and understand the emotions of their characters.
Master Zhang regretfully put down his sword, but still said to the actors, "I've been teaching you sword flourishes and some simple sword techniques for a while now."
"Has nobody really learned it?"
Since joining the film crew, Master Zhang has been teaching several important actors a few sword moves whenever he has free time.
He not only taught Xu Yanyu the sword flourish, but others have also learned it.
The upcoming scene is going to be a big one, he thought.
He looked at Chang Xuan expectantly.
Chang Xuan shook his head repeatedly, "Master Zhang, I'm really no good! Didn't you say I'm stubborn and useless? And I'm not quick-witted enough either..."
