The shooting progress of "The East Palace" is neither fast nor slow. The time is mainly spent on set design, large-scale scene scheduling and Nazha.

Although Wei Yang's requirements are not particularly high, they must be above the standard. If they do not meet the requirements, they will be re-shot.

It happens that the first half of "The East Palace" is the sweetest and the heroine's most likable plot in the whole play, and it is extremely important, so Nazha cannot be negligent at all and must go all out to perform the Ninth Princess of Xizhou as Wei Yang and the director want.

"Eastern Palace" has a total of 50 episodes, of which the plot of Xizhou is about 10 episodes. Due to the large number of scenes, the shooting time is expected to be one month.

Time is still a bit tight, and it is also said that although Nazha can be given some time to reshoot, she cannot do it at will.

Now, because of her, the progress of the crew has actually begun to be delayed, but fortunately it is not serious and has been suppressed by Wei Yang. However, if it continues like this and affects the shooting arrangements and even the transitions of the entire crew, it will no longer be a trivial matter.

Even though Naza was heartless and thick-skinned, he knew the seriousness of the problem.

During this period, apart from eating, sleeping and filming, I studied with the teachers invited by the crew every day, striving to have fewer NGs during filming and to have fewer scoldings from Wei Yang and the director.

"Expressions, just practice your expressions in front of the mirror, don't be shy, yes, tighten the corners of your mouth, look affectionately, and look at the camera with a misty look..."

The acting teacher who guided Naza was a man in his thirties with a stubble, but he looked very kind and a bit bookish.

If in Wei Yang's eyes, he always has a fishy smell of selling fish, it is Zhang Songwen who later became famous with "Kuangbiao".

But at that time, Zhang Songwen was not well-known, even in the industry. The title of performance technical director was greater than that of actor.

Zhang Songwen was recommended by Wei Yang's senior who ran an acting training school. At this time, he had already participated in the directing of many films.

Moreover, Zhang Songwen is not the kind of comprehensive professor who teaches art exam training. He is better at on-site intensive training and one-on-one training to help actors fully understand their roles, so he was recommended here.

Right now, "The East Palace" is filming in full swing. Normal step-by-step teaching is not enough, and this kind of teacher is needed to guide the newcomers Nazha and Rouba.

It’s just that Naza’s role is more important and crucial, so it takes up most of Zhang Songwen’s energy.

After giving instructions for a few paragraphs, Zhang Songwen stopped. He thought he had taught too much and couldn't remember it all. He asked Nazha to practice on his own, and he corrected him from the side.

Rouba had no role to play, but he also watched and learned from the side. Although his roles were different, many of the skills were universal, so learning was a gain.

As they were practicing, they saw Wei Yang come in with his arm supported, and with the help of two other staff members, he changed his clothes and applied safflower oil.

"What's going on?"

"It's okay. I just strained it during a scene. It's windy outside. Come in and apply some medicine."

Wei Yang moved his arms gently, frowned, and looked a little depressed. Zhang Songwen was very enthusiastic. He came over to take a look and nodded.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, maybe the warm-up wasn't started enough?"

"I was warming up before, but I guess the interval was too long and I didn't take it seriously, so I ended up straining it."

As he spoke, Wei Yang looked at Naza and Rouba and reminded them, "Be careful when you shoot action scenes next time. Learn from my lesson."

Rouba smiled and said, "Boss, you forgot that we practiced dancing."

For them, their body flexibility and stress resistance are much stronger than normal people, and warming up has become an instinctive habit, so they don't need Wei Yang to remind them.

"Well, I said it in vain."

Wei Yang smiled bitterly. Why did he always run into actors with a background in dancing? His action scenes were overshadowed by them. It would be better for him to shoot "My Love from the Star", just make some hand gestures and leave the rest to the special effects.

"Okay, I'll come over and apply some medicine. I won't delay you. You guys continue."

Wei Yang prepared the medicine and was about to leave, but Rouba stopped him and said, "You just got injured, why don't you take a rest."

"It's okay. We've almost finished filming the fighting scenes. These are all literary scenes. I just need to do less movements so as not to affect the filming."

Wei Yang is not that squeamish. This minor injury is not enough to stop working. Nazha's filming is already slow enough. If he takes a break any longer, the crew of "Eastern Palace" will have nothing to do.

Scenes, props, labor, etc., all of these cost money. If the crew takes a day off, they will waste hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This is all Boss Wei’s own money!

Just as he reached the door, Wei Yang suddenly remembered something and looked at Zhang Songwen: "Teacher Zhang, didn't I agree to give you a role before? Now we just happen to be in need of a Danchi prince, the cousin of the heroine. He doesn't have many scenes, you see..."

"no problem."

Zhang Songwen is not picky about roles. As long as he can act and show his face, and not be completely reduced to a behind-the-scenes staff, it is good enough for him.

"I know Mr. Zhang's ability, but you joined the group too late, and many roles have been decided."

Wei Yang smiled and took the initiative to draw a pie: "You have taken great care of this play, and you should help them more. We will have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Zhang Songwen could sense that Wei Yang was not just trying to please him, and he felt warm inside: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will definitely teach them well."

Sometimes the entertainment industry is like this. Although there are many twists and turns in all aspects, there are also people who are truly willing to support talents.

If you do your job well and do it well, and someone sees your ability, they will be willing to give you a chance.

Zhang Songwen works as a performance instructor, on the one hand to make a living and earn extra income, and on the other hand he also wants to use this opportunity to showcase his abilities and be valued by noble people.

Even to Zhang Songwen, Wei Yang's opinion is more valuable than the first two.

After all, although the first two are also famous directors in the industry, they have limited projects on hand, and sometimes their words may not be effective. Although Wei Yang is young, he is the boss of a good-sized film and television company, with many projects and his words make the final decision.

“What a hard job.”

Wei Yang patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder, said something encouraging, and turned to leave.

At present, Blue Whale has no shortage of young female artists in the short term, and there are barely enough male artists. What it really lacks are some talented and golden supporting actors.

Zhang Songwen has good acting skills, a stable personality, is not picky about roles, and is a versatile talent who can act, direct, and be a teacher. If he can be recruited, he will be a good addition to Blue Whale.

"Congratulations, Teacher Zhang."

Rouba seemed to notice something and congratulated them. Nazha was stunned for a moment and then followed suit. Zhang Songwen smiled and continued to direct their performance.

In late March, the crew of "Eastern Palace" entered the second half of filming in Dunhuang.

Today we filmed the first official kissing scene after the male and female protagonists fell in love.

After discussion, the crew of "Eastern Palace" decided that although this scene was filmed on location under an ancient tree, it was surrounded by a green screen to facilitate the subsequent addition of special effects, such as fireflies.

The effect is not good during the day, so you have to wait until night, because you have to adjust the lights and work until eight o'clock before you can start shooting.

Today's scene is quite important. When the hero and heroine first met, the heroine saved the hero, and the hero promised to fulfill the heroine's three wishes.

After spending some time together and sharing life and death, the hero and heroine fell in love with each other and even began to discuss marriage. One time, beside an ancient tree in the wild, the heroine looked at the beautiful fireflies around her and used one of her wishes to ask the hero to catch fireflies for her.

The male protagonist then used his Qinggong skills to catch the female protagonist, making her happy and smiling sweetly. She was so beautiful that the male protagonist could not help but kiss her.

The scenes and clips are still very beautiful and romantic, with ancient trees in the dark night, flickering fireflies, red clothes under the moon, and a kiss to seal the love. The atmosphere is also sweet enough to pave the way for the following abuse.

Wei Yang hasn't filmed many kissing scenes since his debut, so he can't be said to be experienced, but he's not a novice either. He was calm as usual, and was mostly discussing with the director and photographer how to structure the shots.

It was Naza’s first time to film a kissing scene, so she was inevitably a little nervous, but of course she was more excited.

This is a kissing scene!

Rounding it off is equivalent to kissing the boss, rounding it off again is equivalent to saying "hmmmm" to the boss, and rounding it off again is equivalent to saying "umm" to the boss, and rounding it off again, she is the boss's wife.

While waiting in the backstage, Naza's cheeks were flushed. No one knew what was in her mind. She kept lowering her head and chuckling, which made Rouba, who came to watch the fun, very helpless.

"Big sister, please calm down a bit, there are so many people here."

After hearing this, Naza calmed down a little, but soon a smile appeared on his face again: "No, I can't help it."

Rouba: “…”

Fortunately, Zhang Songwen’s teaching these days was not in vain. The two of them quickly thought of a way to divert their attention, which more or less eased their emotions.

It wasn't until the script supervisor called for the filming to begin that Naza's suppressed emotions surfaced again. However, she had no time to adjust and could only quickly let out a sigh of relief at Rouba.

"How is it? It doesn't taste good."

"I brushed my teeth twice and ate half a bottle of gum, but there's still a smell.

Rouba pushed Naza over, then looked at the scene with some jealousy as he watched Wei Yang ask Naza to stand for the filming.

The kissing scene did not start right away. There were other scenes before that. The filming lasted until almost the early morning before it was finally time for the kissing scene.

Na Zha was wearing a red dress with some fur on her body. She looked pretty and charming. She happily stretched out her hand to look at the fireflies in the sky. Her eyes were shining and she was very beautiful.

Wei Yang stared at her blankly, his eyes fixed on her figure, his Adam's apple moving unconsciously, he slowly moved closer, lowered his head and kissed her.

As a result, as soon as the two of them kissed, the director on the monitor shouted "Cut!" "Naza, stop laughing."

"Let's do it again."

Wei Yang was used to this. He and Nazha had been filming for such a long time, and they only got it right in one take a few times.

But when filming started again, Naza couldn't help laughing again. It didn't look like he was laughing, but more like he was happy that he got what he wanted.

This smile obviously doesn't fit the situation in the play, so it has to be re-shot.

However, Naza either couldn't hold back her laughter or made mistakes in her coordination. On two occasions, she even seemed to take the initiative to kiss first, which resulted in the scene of what was originally just a simple kiss being NGed more than twenty times before it was passed. The lip balm alone was applied four times.

After the kissing scene, Naza still felt a little unsatisfied. Wei Yang tugged at his collar, feeling as if he had been abused…
