Chapter 118: "Sword Rain" starts filming, weighing the pros and cons
When Xu Xinyuan returned to the dormitory, it was already past two in the morning.
The agent was worried and waited in her bedroom.
She pushed the door open in a daze, like a walking corpse, with messy hair and absent-minded look.
The agent looked concerned and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Is it because it's too windy outside? Are you cold?"
"Ah?" Xu Xinyuan was stunned. She came to her senses and turned to look at her agent: "Almost, but it's okay, I'm just a little sleepy."
"Really?"
The agent was a little bit incredulous.
Because Xu Xinyuan's current condition is not right and she looks very haggard, which makes her very worried.
"Really, you don't have to worry about me. I'll take a shower and go to bed. You should go to bed early too."
Xu Xinyuan said perfunctorily, and then walked straight into the bathroom without caring about her agent's reaction.
As the sound of splashing water came out, mist rose.
Looking at the blurry figure busy in the bathroom, the agent wanted to say something several times but gave up.
Finally he left the room and closed the door behind him.
at the same time.
Xu Xinyuan stepped into the bathtub.
Warm water trickled out, the water level rose, and wrapped around her body little by little.
Leaning against the bathtub, Xu Xinyuan let out a long sigh.
I couldn't help but recall what happened tonight.
Clearly less than twenty minutes had passed, but it felt like fifty years had passed. It was so hazy and unreal.
At the same time, on Jiang Nian's side.
He didn't think that much.
It's not just because he rarely lingers on women.
Moreover, to him, Xu Xinyuan was just a pastime and entertainment that he accidentally found when he went down the mountain.
Now that the entertainment is over, this matter will naturally pass.
What’s going on? Is he going to find Xu Xinyuan reluctantly and say that he doesn’t want to separate and wants to play with her for a while longer?
What a joke.
"Ah~~"
"I'm sleepy, go to sleep!"
After taking a shower and yawning, Jiang Nian climbed onto the bed and fell asleep soon after.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m too tired or I slept too late.
This time, Jiang Nian actually slept until eight in the morning, which was a rare occasion.
He snored and farted when he was asleep.
But this made Zhang Linyu, who accompanied him early in the morning to exercise every day, a little uncomfortable.
These days Jiang Nian gets up early every day to call him.
Train him just like Pavlov's dog.
Every day at six o'clock, he gets up on time, staring at the door, waiting for Jiang Nian to call him.
but now.
"It's already eight o'clock, why hasn't Brother Jiang called me yet?"
"Is it possible that the time on my phone is set wrong?"
"Hiss, no."
"This situation is not right!"
Zhang Linyu looked at the phone and muttered to himself, expressing his incomprehension.
Just when he was thinking about whether he should go look for Jiang Nian.
"Ding dong—"
A crisp sound attracted Zhang Linyu's attention.
He looked carefully and found that a film crew he had contacted before had sent him a message.
They said they had a eunuch role suitable for Jiang Nian to make a guest appearance, asked for Jiang Nian's opinion, and sent him the script.
To be honest, looking at this script, which only has less than a thousand words in total.
Zhang Linyu didn't even have the desire to give it to Jiang Nian.
But Jiang Nian had requested to play the role of a eunuch several days ago.
Even Yang Mi couldn't persuade him.
Although Zhang Linyu didn't want to do that, he had no choice but to take the script and find Jiang Nian.
By the way, I also wanted to see how Jiang Nian was doing today and why he didn't get up.
"Boom boom boom-"
"Boom boom boom-"
Hearing the dull knock on the door, Jiang Nian woke up from his sleep. He walked to the door with a face full of resentment and opened it.
Seeing that it was Zhang Linyu, he said in a somewhat unfriendly tone: "What do you want to do? You come to disturb me so early in the morning without sleeping. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Zhang Linyu's mouth twitched, and he quickly said, "Brother Jiang, there's a play. The extra you were yelling about is here now!"
Hearing this, Jiang Nian, who was originally a little grumpy, suddenly perked up and immediately changed his tone: "Good brother, I knew I was right about you, where is the trick?"
"here!"
Zhang Linyu immediately handed over the phone as if he was offering a treasure.
What caught his eye was the script sent to Jiang Nian by the unknown crew.
There are only less than a thousand words.
Among them, the action explanation accounts for more than half, and there are only a few lines.
Obviously a minor and insignificant character.
If it is placed before.
Not to mention acting, he wouldn't even look at such a small role.
But now, after realizing that the other party might be able to help him quickly gain a lot of enlightenment.
Jiang Nian said that even small roles can have their own strengths, so he waited quietly.
However.
One minute
three minutes.
Holding the phone, Jiang Nian stood there like a statue for five full minutes.
But nothing happened. No system prompts sounded, and no interface popped up.
"?"
Jiang Nian silently typed a question mark, feeling that something was not right.
As usual, I have a new role.
The system popped up at the first possible moment and displayed the character's information.
But today, after such a long time, there is still no movement.
"Could it be that this character does not meet the system's inclusion criteria?"
This thought flashed through Jiang Nian’s mind.
The corner of his mouth twitched, thinking it was possible.
After all, although his system is a bit simple, it is relatively complete overall.
It is impossible for it not to notice such an obvious bug.
"Damn, that was sloppy."
Jiang Nian cursed inwardly.
Fortunately, he accepted a minor role, which was insignificant, so he could read the script first.
Otherwise, if he signed the contract first and then found out that the role could not be unlocked, Jiang Nian would definitely be furious and explode on the spot.
"How about it, Brother Jiang, do you want to answer it?"
Watching Jiang Nian return the phone, Zhang Linyu didn't know the twists and turns involved and just asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Nian shook his head: "This script is not good, it's too simple, I won't accept it."
"what?"
After hearing this, Zhang Linyu was slightly stunned.
Then he looked at Jiang Nian with a look of surprise on his face, seriously suspecting that Jiang Nian had been too idle recently and was making fun of him.
No, do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Extras. Extras.
Just putting these two words here fully explains the situation of this character.
After the job is done, you take the initiative to ask for a supporting role, but after accepting it, you find that the other party is too simple.
"I'm sorry."
If he hadn't been afraid of Jiang Nian's sandbag-sized fist, Zhang would have had a verbal battle with Jiang Nian today.
"So what do you want to do?" Zhang Linyu asked quietly.
Jiang Nian thought for a moment and said, "At least it should be the same as the 'Du Gao' I played before."
As the first character he unlocked, it was also the character that made him famous.
'Dogo Argentino' occupies a crucial position in his career.
Therefore, Jiang Nian’s lowest standard is him.
Hearing this, Zhang Linyu's mouth twitched.
I thought Du Gao was just a supporting role, while he was already a minor villain.
But there is no way, the subordinates have to run around for a while at the leader's word.
Jiang Nian has already given the standards, what else can he do?
Just keep doing it.
"I'll look for it again."
Zhang Linyu said in a muffled voice, then glanced at his phone: "Oh, Brother Jiang, I almost forgot to tell you this. Producer Wu from the Sword Rain crew contacted you last night and said that you would be filming this afternoon. You were practicing martial arts at the time, so I didn't contact you. See."
"No problem. Just tell Director Huang from the "Swordsman" crew for me later."
Jiang Nian said yes.
Hearing this, Zhang Linyu nodded, then picked up his phone and contacted Huang Junwen.
Huang Junwen said that there was nothing wrong with this matter.
Jiang Nian thought about it and went straight to the crew of "Sword Rain".
The reason for this is simple.
Regardless of the script setting or the original trajectory, Wang Qinian played the role of the Chakravartin.
The Chakravartin always behaves like an ugly old eunuch.
Obviously, given Jiang Nian's rigid conditions, the image of the Chakravartin has nothing to do with him at all.
Faced with this situation, the only option is to resort to makeup, one of the four great sorcery techniques in East Asia.
At the same time, this makeup cannot be painted randomly.
They had to turn Jiang Nian into a different person while maintaining his unique image.
Otherwise, people wouldn't be able to recognize Jiang Nian.
Then it would be a bit of a loss for them to spend such a huge amount of money to invite Jiang Nian over.
High popularity, high focus, and popularity among passers-by are some of the main reasons why Jiang Nian, an amateur, can get such a high pay!
Regarding this point, not only Wu Yusen, the producer of "Sword Rain", understands it, but Jiang Nian also understands it.
This is also the reason why Jiang Nian came to the crew early.
Because it is already difficult to draw him ugly, let alone to keep his personal characteristics.
This requires a long time of polishing.
If he arrived in the afternoon, by the time he finished putting on makeup, it would be dark and the flowers would be cold, and he would not be able to shoot many scenes.
In this way, the scenes that were not filmed had to be filmed the next day, and then I had to spend one or two hours on makeup.
From a long-term perspective, this is not cost-effective.
So Jiang Nian prepared to sacrifice some of today's time for a short period of time, finish his makeup as soon as possible, and start filming as soon as possible.
The more content he shoots today, the more free time he will have after Jiang Nian.
The more free time you have, the higher your proficiency.
Why not do it.
