In order to create a high-quality TV series, this TV series paid special attention to the casting, including the supporting roles, and paid great attention to their acting skills.
The two young actors who played the male lead and the second male lead in their youth are no exception. Their acting skills may still be immature, but they are already quite spiritual.
Director Shi whispered to Lin Xin: "Every time I see such talented young actors, I look forward to their growth, but I am also worried that they will enter the entertainment industry too early and will not be able to withstand the setbacks or temptations, and instead ruin their own future."
Lin Xin looked at the two young actors who were acting together and nodded.
"Why, are you engrossed in watching their performance?" Shang Wenhui came over and asked, "Does it remind you of your past?"
Lin Xin shook her head: "I didn't have their acting skills before. I'm not a talented actor, I'm a hard-working one."
Shang Wenhui smiled but didn't say anything. He thought that Lin Xin was just being modest. Lin Xin acted for the first time, but the director praised her as an actor who was trained in a professional school. If this could be called untalented, then all actors in the entertainment industry probably had no talent.
He didn't know that Lin Xin had indeed studied in the virtual space and was indeed a professional.
Lin Xin watched for a while, then walked up to the young actor who played He Tian's youth and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
The young actor who played He Tian was named Ke Fengning. When he saw Lin Xin talking to him, he was somewhat flattered: "Senior Lin!"
Lin Xin said: "Tell me your thoughts."
Ke Fengning hesitated. After all, as a minor supporting actor, it was not right for him to question the script.
"Tell me about it. I want to hear it too." Director Shi also came over and said with a smile, "I can hear that your understanding of the script is pretty good."
Director Shi is not an overbearing director. Although he will stick to his own script and directing style, he will not refuse to listen to the actors' ideas.
Of course, this idea must be reasonable. If you want to increase the role or steal the show, even the kind director Shi will turn into an angry lion.
"Go ahead." Yi Yang, the young actor who played Zhang Yun as a teenager, encouraged his friend, "I feel quite confused too."
Ke Fengning hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say, "In the script, when He Zihe was a teenager, all the limelight was stolen by Zhang Lanzhi. The novel also describes that when talking about He Zihe's childhood, his parents always praised Zhang Lanzhi... Even though Zhang Lanzhi had a lame leg, others still thought that Zhang Lanzhi was better than him, and even the servants who served him respected Zhang Lanzhi more. If it were me, even if I wasn't jealous, I would be sad. But He Zihe seemed open-minded when he was a teenager, and he didn't worry about this at all. I think that he would kill his best friend and loyal minister for a woman later. During the years when Zhang Lanzhi was away, I wonder if something happened that changed his personality?"
Although the two were close friends at the beginning, the tragedy of He Tian's death of Zhang Yun was even stronger. However, the more Ke Fengning, who played the role of He Tian as a child, figured out the role, the more he found it hard to believe that such a boy would hurt his friends when he grew up.
"Maybe after becoming emperor, he can't tolerate being inferior to Zhang Yun." Shang Wenhui has obviously thought about this problem.
Although some actors are proud of not reading the original works when acting, good actors will not only read the original works, but also study the original works thoroughly to understand the character's personality and sort out the logic of the character's behavior, so that they can better immerse themselves in the role.
Shang Wenhui's role is bound to be criticized by the audience, just look at the comments from the readers of his novel. But he cannot play this role as a fool who is criticized by others.
Director Shi said: "What Lao Shang said makes sense. Even if He Zihe was broad-minded before, it may not be the case after he became the king."
Ke Fengning said: "I see, now I understand."
"Actually..." Lin Xin said, "I asked the original author about this question, and the original author's answer was that quantitative change leads to qualitative change."
Shang Wenhui was surprised: "Huh? Have you asked Teacher Sanyuecao? Isn't Teacher Sanyuecao in the hospital?"
Lin Xin nodded: "I am quite familiar with Teacher He, and Teacher He introduced me to him. You know, if I can't understand the logic of the script when acting, I will feel very uncomfortable..."
Shang Wenhui couldn't help laughing. "Yes, yes, yes. You even chased the director and asked why the hero still had money after fighting and killing people all day long, and whether he was worthy of being a hero if he broke things in ordinary people's homes. The director asked questions that made him go around you, and finally forbade you to ask these questions again. What? Are you torturing Teacher Sanyuecao again? Take it easy. Teacher Sanyuecao is still in the hospital."
Lin Xin was dissatisfied and asked, "What do you mean by torture?"
Ke Fengning and Yi Yang looked at each other in bewilderment. Senior Lin had such a dark history?
Lin Xin said: "Mr. March Grass was happy to chat with me and said he was bored."
Shang Wenhui said: "Yes, yes, but why are you asking Teacher Sanyuecao about He Zihe's character? Shouldn't you be asking Zhang Lanzhi?"
Lin Xin said: "Zhang Lanzhi is the one who knows He Zihe best. Although he was a little surprised when he was sentenced to death, he quickly figured it out and said that he was wrong and it was his own fault. Although it can be understood that he trusted the wrong person, I think with Zhang Lanzhi's character and wisdom, the possibility of mistrust is very small. He is not blindly loyal to his lord. So I want to ask what kind of person He Zihe is that caught Zhang Lanzhi off guard and didn't even prepare for the next move."
"Most of the strategists in the Warring States period prepared a back-up plan so that they could retreat safely. Anyway, there are so many countries, so there is no need to worry about having nowhere to go." Lin Xin said, "I sent my analysis of the character to Mr. Sanyuecao."
After saying that, Lin Xin flipped to the back of his script and found a five-page printed version with the words, "On Zhang Yun's Psychological Changes After He Tianci's Death."
Shang Wenhui: “…” He recalled the fear he felt when he was working with Lin Xin and was dominated by Lin Xin’s character analysis paper.
Director Shi: “…” No wonder Lin Xin can become the best actor, this is a victory of high intelligence.
The two young actors: “…” There was nothing they could do except kneel down and shout 666.
Lin Xin continued, "In the paper, I explained the changes in He Zihe's mentality since childhood. Zhang Lanzhi has always been someone else's child to He Zihe. He Zihe is a very capable person, and he is praised as a rare talent by others. But Zhang Lanzhi is also one in a million among the rare talents. Before the Zhang family got into trouble, Zhang Lanzhi and He Zihe were both members of the aristocratic circle of Jiang State. Zhang Lanzhi was stronger than He Zihe. He's father always talked about Zhang Lanzhi, and as a son, He Zihe must have been under a lot of pressure. With He Zihe's pride, he must have had a competitive mentality towards Zhang Lanzhi... Well, it's the kind of feeling where the king never meets the king. The He family and the Zhang family have been good friends, but He Zihe and Zhang Lanzhi only became familiar with each other after the Zhang family got into trouble, so we know that their relationship was very ordinary before."
"The relationship between the two sons of the family of old friends is average, there must be a reason. The fact that they later had similar temperaments and interests shows that it is not a personality issue. It is a psychological factor. Zhang Lanzhi likes to be quiet, but He Zihe has a wide range of friends. But Zhang Lanzhi is not among He Zihe's friends. The biggest possibility is the competitive mentality."
Lin Xin flipped open the paper, looked at it, and continued, "After Zhang Lanzhi's family got into trouble, He Zihe's competitive mentality towards Zhang Lanzhi turned into pity for her. The higher you fly, the more miserable you fall, and his hostility towards Zhang Lanzhi turned into regret. But even though Zhang Lanzhi had a lame leg, she was still more popular than him. He must have felt a little uncomfortable, but he thought that a lame person would definitely not achieve great things. The more outstanding Zhang Lanzhi was, the more pitiful she seemed, so he was especially nice to Zhang Lanzhi."
"But when Zhang Lanzhi returned from her studies, she overwhelmed him again. Even though he became the crown prince, his reputation was still not as high as Zhang Lanzhi's. In the end, he relied on Zhang Lanzhi to become the new monarch, and became Zhang Lanzhi's king, but everyone knew Zhang Lanzhi, not him. The hegemony of the Jiang Kingdom was also said to be the work of Zhang Lanzhi. He was obviously conscientious and worked hard, but no one could see his glory. He seemed to have become a puppet emperor, although he thought he was a puppet emperor. In fact, Zhang Lanzhi did not do anything beyond her authority, and even Zhang Lanzhi would no longer have any offspring, so she did not pose any threat to him."
"He knew rationally that Zhang Lanzhi would not be a threat to him, so he had been patient." Lin Xin concluded, "Zi Linglan was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The key point was not how much he loved Zi Linglan, but the fact that Zi Linglan was unwilling to be the king's principal wife, and chose a disabled person who could not give her children. This told him that even if Zhang Lanzhi was disabled, he could not compare to her. Even if he was already the king."
"Zhang Lanzhi has become He Zihe's inner demon. When He Zihe killed Zhang Lanzhi, he was already in an irrational state."
"When Zhang Lanzhi was sentenced to death, he would regain his sanity and naturally regret it."
Lin Xin closed the paper: "Teacher Sanyuecao said that I wrote well, that's what he thought."
The others were shocked, but Shang Wenhui's mouth twitched and he said, "When you talked to Teacher He, Teacher He also said the same thing."
Lin Xin blinked: "Is there something wrong?"
Shang Wenhui was silent for a while, and then said, "You are a Chinese teacher who was delayed by the entertainment industry. You are a perfect match for your chef Brother Fei who was delayed by the CEO."
Lin Xin immediately said happily: "Really? Thank you! I also think we are a good match!"
Guan Hanwei was just getting dressed and getting ready for filming. When she heard this, she said helplessly, "You said you wanted to keep it a secret, but is it okay for you to say it out loud?"
Lin Xin said: "I was just worried that you would tell Brother Fei that there was no surprise when I confessed, but now I find that you won't leak it, so it doesn't matter."
Guan Hanwei looked very helpless.
Now she finally understood why people in the entertainment industry generally thought that Lin Xin was a silly and sweet girl. If it weren't for the garage incident, she would definitely think that this child was just silly and sweet.
"What you said makes sense. Let me take a look at your paper." Director Shi thought that Lin Xin's paper analysis was good. "Since you have analyzed it, why don't you tell me?"
Lin Xin said: "I can't interfere with the director's judgment. The final direction of the plot is up to the director to decide. I just need to figure it out myself."
Shang Wenhui laughed and said, "Why did you take it out now?"
Lin Xin said: "Because Director Shi said he wanted to hear our understanding of the script."
Everyone: “…”
It seems like something is wrong, but it also seems like nothing is wrong.
In the end, Lin Xin's paper was copied by everyone and later leaked to the media.
However, it was not the crew who spread the news, but March Grass.
When he was discharged from the hospital and was interviewed by a reporter, he took out Lin Xin's thesis and praised Lin Xin again and again.
"This is the first time I've met such a dedicated actor. I'm looking forward to him playing Zhang Lanzhi," said Sanyuecao.
The reporter took a few photos and got a piece of explosive news.
Do you know how Lin Xin became the best actor? Here is the secret!
With the character analysis paper in hand, I have the best actor award!
…
“Is this hype?”
“You have to write a five-page paper to hype it up (funny face).”
"I have read Mr. Lin's paper. I think it is really well written! I finally understand why He Zihe wanted to kill Zhang Lanzhi. I actually thought it was normal for He Zihe to kill Zhang Lanzhi. QAQ. My values are not right. I feel sorry for Zhang Lanzhi."
"…I felt mixed emotions when I saw the review I wrote in the literature review and citation summary. I deleted it myself. Where did the actor find it?"
"This is indeed a very rigorous paper (turning around to the boss.jpg), that string of citations..."
"Won't it affect the viewing experience of the TV series if the news is revealed first because of spoilers?"
"There's the original novel, so why worry about spoilers? This analysis is also from the original novel. After reading it, I want to watch the TV series even more. Shang Wenhui's acting is good. He should be able to portray He Tian's early conflicts and the psychology of being driven crazy by Zhang Yun in the later period, right?"
"I was wondering, how could a great overlord kill his best brother and military advisor just for a woman? He didn't show that he was a womanizer before, and the novel doesn't show how deep his feelings for Zi Linglan were, and Zi Linglan never flirted with him. To fall in love at first sight to the point of killing, this jealousy is like a completely different person. Compared to this ridiculous reason, I believe that his achievements are greater than his master's."
"Zhang Yun had no offspring, so no matter how great his achievements were, they were meaningless in the eyes of ancient people. That's why it is said that King Jiang Xiang killed Zhang Yun for other reasons. The novel says that King Jiang Xiang killed Zhang Yun because of a woman, but in fact it was because of jealousy. The woman was taken away by Zhang Yun because of jealousy. This reason is very sufficient."
"Poor Purple Bells of the Orchid... In ancient times, women were used to take the blame. It was a universal excuse."
"I used to hate Purple Bell Orchid. I felt that if it weren't for Purple Bell Orchid, He Tian and Zhang Yun would definitely continue to live in harmony, and maybe even achieve the great cause of unification. Now... well... without Purple Bell Orchid, there are still Red Bell Orchid and Yellow Bell Orchid. Zhang Lanzhi's talent cannot be suppressed. It's only a matter of time before He Zihe explodes. I'm sad."
"Actually... I think I can understand He Zihe. From childhood to adulthood, people around him have always praised Zhang Lanzhi. If he was mediocre, it would be fine, but he is also a very talented person. Talented people are often arrogant, but he was overwhelmed by Zhang Lanzhi. If their status were equal, it would be fine, and he would just admit defeat, but he has become the monarch, and the monarch's status is higher than that of the minister, so how can he be willing to admit defeat? If he keeps Zhang Lanzhi, he will feel a thorn in his heart. If he lets Zhang Lanzhi go, it will add help to other countries. He has no choice but to kill her."
"I don't understand it at all. To put it bluntly, it's jealousy. As a king of a country, you are jealous of talented people. Isn't this funny? Shouldn't a king be happy to have such a genius under his command? How did Cao treat Xiao Guo? His subordinate got a talented person, but he killed him because he was jealous of his talent. Is it possible for talented people in the world to come to this country?"
"So the Jiang Kingdom has been declining since Zhang Lanzhi was executed (funny face)."
"I originally thought that the wise men in the world did not go to Jiang because the king of Jiang was obsessed with women, but I guessed wrong. Could the wise men in the world not guess what King Jiang Xiang was thinking? They must have guessed it, and they would definitely not dare to go. What if King Jiang Xiang was jealous of their intelligence and killed them too (funny face)."
"In fact, for other virtuous people, King Jiang Xiang might have treated him better than his own son, just like Cao Dada. But Zhang Lanzhi is different. As Lin Xin said in his paper, Zhang Lanzhi has been suppressing He Tian since he was a child, and He Tian has become a demon in his heart."
"Pressure ♂, um um."
"Please don't drive upstairs suddenly!"
…
…
Some people originally thought that Lin Xin's paper was hype, but the topic soon shifted to discussing the plot of the novel.
There were a few posts from people who had worked with Lin Xin before, saying that Lin Xin had also written papers in other crews. After everyone exclaimed, "Oh, how amazing and powerful!", the topic of discussing novels was replaced by the topic and it didn't even make it to the hot searches.
Perhaps these netizens have long known that Lin Xin's style is different from other stars, so it is not surprising even if his style of reading scripts is unique.
． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
After getting Lin Xin's thesis, Director Shi seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians. He discussed with the screenwriter and made some modifications to the script, and also re-shot the previous shots.
The reshoots were of the two young actors. Director Shi wanted them to act out He Tian's lonely look because of "someone else's child" Zhang Yun.
Loneliness is unacceptable, you have to be lonely, aggrieved, and unwilling. Combined with Ke Fengning's handsome little face, He Tian's pitiful appearance is almost overflowing from the screen.
Director Shi happily looked at the footage and said, "The audience will definitely sympathize with little Hetian."
Shang Wenhui raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I won't be disliked by the audience too much in the future?"
Guan Hanwei lifted her hair and said, "Then I have to work harder and act more tragic than you."
Shang Wenhui smiled and said, "Then let's have a competition?"
Guan Hanwei smiled and accepted the challenge: "Let's have a competition."
Lin Xiaoxin, a bystander, was cheering for the two men. A fight broke out between them, and then the two hooligans snatched away the last generation of dried fish in his hand.
Lin Xin: QAQ.
Xue Fei is on a business trip and cannot provide him with snacks in a short time. Life is unbearable!
The duo of hooligans who gave Lin Xin's dried fish as a favor said that they liked to see Lin Xin's crying expression the most.
Shang Wenhui was venting the grievance he felt when he was overwhelmed by Lin Xin's aura during the scene. Guan Hanwei... Guan Hanwei was also very aggrieved, so it was better not to talk about it.
Anyway, they reached a consensus on making Lin Xin look like she was crying.
Lin Xiaoxin knelt in front of the two jealous men and women.
It is true that jealousy can turn people into devils.
Minors have special treatment. The scenes of the two young actors were filmed in advance. The scenes of other actors were interspersed in between.
When the young actors’ scenes are finished, that’s when the main characters’ scenes are filmed most intensively.
At this time, Shang Wenhui and Guan Hanwei once again truly felt the pressure brought to them by Lin Xin's acting skills.
Lin Xin could also feel that these two people had acting skills, but they were far inferior to those he worked with.
Don't even look at who Lin Xin has worked with before, they are all international film stars. They are not comparable to the so-called new generation of talented actors.
When Shang Wenhui and Lin Xin were acting together, he was instantly drawn into He Tian's emotions. He was filled with admiration and jealousy for Lin Xin, as well as doubt about himself. These emotions were entangled together, keeping him awake at night.
Lin Xin is more talented than Shang Wenhui and has a similarly pitiful past, which makes Shang Wenhui unable to distinguish between reality and drama for a moment.
He couldn't tell whether he was jealous of Zhang Yun as He Tian, or jealous of Lin Xin as Shang Wenhui.
Shang Wenhui also showed this kind of mood when he was interacting with Lin Xin.
He began to force himself to be alone with Lin Xin, and there was an inexplicable heaviness in his heart when he chatted with Lin Xin.
Director Shi saw this and was a little worried. But he couldn't tell whether Shang Wenhui was immersed in the role or was really jealous of Lin Xin. But no matter what, Shang Wenhui was definitely the one who got hurt in the end.
Given Lin Xin's background, even if Shang Wenhui was jealous, he couldn't do anything to Lin Xin.
Lin Xin didn't pay much attention to Shang Wenhui's changes. He was now concentrating on how to confess his feelings.
Xue Fei is coming back. According to the computer's "surveillance", Xue Fei is ready to confess to himself when he comes back this time.
How could he let Xue Fei confess first? Of course he had to confess first.
Lin Xin told Lin Qin about this, and Lin Qin reacted greatly. He didn't expect that his brother actually had someone in his heart. Although he could accept Xue Fei, he didn't expect that Xue Fei could kidnap Lin Xin so easily.
But when Lin Qin heard Lin Xin say that she hadn't decided whether to use 999 roses, hot air balloons, banners or fireworks to confess her love to Xue Fei, Lin Qin was silent for a while, then expressed his support for Lin Xin's pursuit of Xue Fei with a smile on his face.
"You're right. You're a man, so of course you have to take the initiative." Lin Qin said with a very supportive smile and tone, "And Xue Fei is a very worthy person, you should pay enough attention to him. You're also an award-winning actor, and there's a lot of gossip in the entertainment industry, so you have to be grand enough in your confession to give Xue Fei a sense of security."
"In fact, you don't have to choose one, you can choose both." Lin Qin persuaded, "Isn't it just about money? You don't have enough money, but I, your brother, have money. You should plan a grand confession and I will pay for it. Xue Fei is so good to you, and he is your parents' godson and my good brother. If you treat him badly, I will not stand on your side."
Lin Xin held up the phone and nodded, his expression very solemn: "I will definitely not treat Brother Fei unfairly!"
He hung up the phone and said to Shang Wenhui who accidentally heard it: "Brother Shang, didn't you say you have a lot of experience in romance? Can you help me think about it?"
Shang Wenhui, who had listened to the whole thing, said: ...Don't do this! Mr. Xue will cry!
I'm a fool for confusing him with Zhang Yun!
On the other end of the phone, Lin Qin threw his phone onto the table and rolled onto the floor laughing.
The author has something to say: Gay friends: Either the top confesses his love to the bottom with fireworks and roses, or the bottom confesses his love to the top at the award ceremony. What a routine!
Bamboo: Oh, okay, then let the little bottom confess his love to the little top using fireworks and roses.
Friend: …
