Chapter 337: Acting as Oneself
Acting is a job that also requires talent and self-training. For any newcomer to go from being unknown to being the center of attention, it takes time and effort to hone his skills.
As far as Lin Zhi knows, Liu Man has only acted in one movie so far. He took some time these two days to quickly watch "Listen, the Sound of the Wind". In this film, Liu Man's acting skills are acceptable. Looking at the details with a professional eye, it is obvious that she is a novice.
However, her acting skills when playing the role of Princess Huayang were very mature. When facing the leader of a foreign race, she was graceful and elegant, showing the demeanor of a princess. When being teased by Huhanye Chanyu, the shame and timidity on her face were also very vivid. From beginning to end, her expression was real, as if she were a real ancient woman. The play was so smooth that Lin Zhi could hardly find the place to stop. It was passed in one take. The only sense of incongruity came from her makeup and styling.
You have to know that some veteran actors have not yet adapted to the rhythm on the first day of joining the crew, and may not be able to get into the role in a second like Liu Man without any prelude or preparation.
Of course, Tang Tu, who acted with her, also performed very well, portraying a barbarian chief's obsession with beautiful women vividly. "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace" has been filming for two months. Lin Zhi believes that this is Tang Tu's best performance. Fortunately, the previous scenes also have to be re-shot. Lin Zhi hopes that he can maintain this state and continue filming.
On the first day, Liu Lan worked until nine o'clock in the evening. Before removing her makeup, she took a picture of her look in front of a full-length mirror. When Liu Lan was about to leave, Tang Tu stopped her and said, "Let me take you back to the hotel in the city. It should be on the way."
Liu Man declined his offer, "My boyfriend is here to pick me up."
Tang Tu suppressed his disappointment and continued, "It's still a long way from the studio to the exit. Every night there are many fans and reporters waiting nearby. Director Lin doesn't want us to have direct contact with them, so we usually take the side road. You probably don't know how to get there yet, so I'll take you there today and send you to the car. Starting tomorrow, you can walk by yourself."
Tang Tu had good intentions, and Liu Lan appreciated his kindness.
...
...
The two left the set together.
Looking at their backs, the crew members who were cleaning up the set started talking.
"Tang Tu really cares about this junior."
"I heard that she already has a boyfriend."
"I really don't understand. Since he is deeply in love with Liu Lan, why would he enter Fu Feiqian's room?"
"He's a playboy. Fu Feiqian is also very beautiful."
…
The lighting in the Weiyang Palace outside the crew was very dim, especially after turning into the small road, there were even fewer street lights. Liu Lan lowered her head and paid attention to her feet, carefully following behind Tang Tu. Unlike their tacit cooperation when acting, the two were silent when they were alone, and only the slight sounds of breathing and footsteps could be heard.
Finally, Tang Tu couldn't help but speak first, "You performed very well today. Teacher Tian has good taste. Princess Huayang looks a lot like you." At this point, Tang Tu smiled and said, "No wonder you named yourself 'Princess Qie Man' online. It seems that you also think you are a princess. You are quite self-aware."
Liu Lan also laughed, "Now it seems that this online name is not very suitable, why don't I go back and change the name tonight."
"No, no, I was just joking. Besides, all girls nowadays are little princesses or fairies. You have so many fans, and everyone calls you by your nickname. Who would really treat you as a princess?"
Liu Lan’s number of Weibo fans has reached 5 million so far. Although there is still a long way to go before she can reach Tang Tu’s 1.2 million, she can be considered a real big V and a well-deserved internet celebrity.
After discussing this topic, Tang Tu mentioned the recording of the soundtrack album of The Sound of Wind. "Teacher Xue called me to urge me. I have to take time to go back to the capital next month. Then we will play the theme song together."
"Yeah, I know," Xue Yunfei also sent a WeChat message to Liu Lan, asking her when she would be back.
In the three days since the release of "Listen, the Sound of the Wind", the box office has exceeded 50 million, and the attendance rate has reached 95%. Cinemas across the country have increased their screenings. Although the box office is still far less than that of Hollywood blockbusters of the same period, it is definitely a standout among domestic films. This rapid momentum has greatly exceeded Ye Zian's expectations and also made the senior executives of Xinghe Film and Television very excited.
You know, ever since Tang Tu insisted on putting Qiao Xin in detention, they didn't have particularly high hopes for this movie, so they should be thankful to be able to make a profit.
