This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 866: What I Received Instead Was Misunderstanding

In November, "Sword Rain" completed filming the last two major scenes.

In a battle between Zeng Jing and the Chakravartin, Hao Yun imitated Chen Guanxi in "The Thousand Machines" and died on the scene.

One scene is Jiang Asheng’s ultimate show-off. He sharpens his sword before the battle, polishes it to a gleaming shine, and then challenges a group of black market masters alone.

After filming these two scenes, only You Benchang's scene was left.

The old man was invited over and he could recite the lines of the script by heart.

An Xiaoxi was extremely nervous acting opposite a veteran actor of this level.

"Just act freely. The main focus is not on you. Just think of you as a teacher who is here to teach you how to act." Hao Yun consoled him.

Lu Yang rolled his eyes.

Just pamper her.

Only you can say that inviting veteran actors of this level is just for training.

You Benchang is not someone you can invite just because you want to.

Not only does the script have to be good, but you also need to have certain connections, after all, You Benchang has his own drama career to pursue.

"Then I will try my best to ask him for advice." An Xiaoxi ran to act with the old man.

She cherishes such opportunities very much.

The more you act with these top actors, the more your acting skills and lines will be greatly improved.

Unfortunately, such opportunities do not come often.

"Do you want to do it, or should I?" Hao Yun looked at Lu Yang.

"Aren't I the director?" Lu Yang looked alert. Working with top actors is not only the actor's dream, but also the director's dream.

The play has a great cast and Lu Yang learned a lot.

"It's almost finished anyway. If you don't want to direct, it's fine for me to do it." Hao Yun was very considerate.

The "Sword Rain" scene was rehearsed very intensively and was planned to be filmed in two months.

He and An Xiaoxi would ask for leave at any time.

This made director Lu Yang miserable and he lost weight visibly.

I don’t know if his father will call and curse after seeing this.

"I think so!" Lu Yang interrupted him righteously.

If you want to intercept my big show, I can tell you that there is no possibility at all.

"Don't shoot too fast..." Hao Yun was speechless.

He was so considerate to his employees, but in return he received misunderstanding and alienation. It's not easy to be a boss these days.

"I understand. Don't worry, boss. You can go back." Lu Yang waved his hand.

Go away, your play has been completed.

Don't you think it's an eyesore to have people who are busy with all kinds of things just sitting there?
If the company goes bankrupt, all of us workers will be left with nothing.

"..."

Hao Yun moved to the other side, where An Xiaoxi was acting with You Benchang.

You Benchang has been in his career for decades and has met many young actors. The early ones were okay, even if they were a little pretentious, but at least they knew what an actor was.

Later on, it became more and more messed up.

She is so delicate and complains about this and that, and her lifestyle is very problematic.

This is actually not so bad, as it shows that the actors have a high status and can make demands to the paying crew and meet their own material needs.

However, the lack of professionalism of some actors is hard to accept.

For example, it was agreed that the filming would start at 8 o'clock, but she arrived at 10 o'clock, and she had to put on makeup and do her hair, and it was 11:30 when she finished.

The entire crew was waiting, wasting half a day.

When it comes to accountability, he simply puts the blame on his assistant without showing the slightest sense of guilt or an attitude to correct his mistakes.

You Benchang is good at both acting and lines.

What he cannot accept the most is that some actors nowadays don’t even memorize their lines.

They said that dubbing will be done later anyway.

Come on, you don't even say your lines, how can you interpret the character with emotion, or have you reached a level where you can do it with ease.

You Benchang hasn't met many young actresses in recent years.

An Xiaoxi is probably the person he has collaborated with most famously.

Anyone who lives in China, even if they stay in the village all year round, may know someone like An Xiaoxi.

But he didn't know much about An Xiaoxi.

I have guessed various situations and am prepared to deal with this "new generation queen" in the entertainment industry.

I just didn't expect that An Xiaoxi is really just a little girl.

You Benchang was sitting on a prop chair wearing a monk's robe, and An Xiaoxi brought a small stool and discussed the filming of this scene with him.

There's no sign of her being the top star at all.

"Please sit down. Just sit down. Sorry to bother you." Seeing Hao Yun coming, You Benchang wanted to stand up. It was a matter of politeness.

Hao Yun walked forward quickly and asked the person to sit down.

At this age, it’s hard for me to stand up and sit down.

"Director, is there anything else I should pay attention to in this play?" You Benchang sat down with a smile.

"I'm not a director. I just come here to care about my senior colleagues. It's a great honor to invite Teacher You this time." Hao Yun was very polite. He didn't stand while talking. He pulled a small stool and sat on the side.

He and An Xiaoxi were on the left and right.

In such an ancient temple in the mountains, the years seem to be peaceful and quiet.

"Oh, it's rare that someone would ask an old guy like me to act in a play. Thank you." You Benchang said politely.

He was not very good at socializing in this area and could not treat Hao Yun as his boss.

But there is no problem if you are regarded as an outstanding junior in the industry.

Anyone who sees a talent like Hao Yun will feel that he is not alone.

"You are not out of date, you are an old artist." Hao Yun said sincerely.

He respects these older artists very much.

For example, Wei Zongwan and You Benchang.

He felt that no matter how high his attributes increased, he could probably gain some attributes from these people.

Because these people have reached the pinnacle in their own niche areas.

"What old artist? He is just a role. I made him successful and he also made me successful. The past is like a passing cloud. It is okay to reminisce about it, but it is not rational to immerse yourself in it." You Benchang sighed.

"You have a profound insight." Hao Yun praised.

There are always some actors who become so famous for playing a certain role that they cannot tell who made whom famous and put themselves before the role.

"As actors, we may play many different roles in our lifetime, but we are actually playing ourselves. After a long time, we lose our original intentions and cannot tell which one is really ourselves..."

The old man is an in-depth student of Buddhism, and his words are full of Zen.

"I deeply understand this point!" Hao Yun nodded repeatedly. Sometimes he could not tell which one was the real him.

Every day when I wake up and open my eyes, it feels like I have to reset myself.

"You are a director, is acting just your hobby?" You Benchang's understanding of Hao Yun mainly focuses on several of his works.

He doesn't care much for gossip, but he watches movies frequently.

If he has a favorite, it would naturally be "Little Forest". He thinks Hao Yun shot this movie very artistically, with a kind of Zen spirit of harmony between man and nature.

The mind is as pure as flowing water, and the body is as free of right and wrong as floating clouds.

"No, being a director is just my hobby. My main job is being an actor. My goal is to become a versatile actor." Hao Yun said frankly.

If he had just debuted and told people that he wanted to be a multi-faceted actor, others might have thought he was joking.

It's just like an ordinary person saying that he wants to marry An Xiaoxi.

But now, having reached his status, if he says he wants to be a movie star with many faces, everyone will say he has ambition.

You Benchang, who was originally lying on the bed, sat up upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Hello, Thousand-Faced Movie King. You are only in your twenties. Don't forget what you said today and keep going."

"When I win the Best Actor award, please present the award to me," said Hao Yun.

"That won't work. People will say we are in collusion." The old man was very humorous.

"That's right, knowing the result in advance."

Although everyone does know the results in advance, this is an unspoken rule.

It’s like selecting the Golden Eagle Goddess.

This year's Golden Eagle Goddess is Li Xiaolu.

We didn’t know who the Golden Eagle Goddess was until after the award ceremony began, but the custom-made costumes and crowns were all arranged long in advance.

"But I can send you a Weibo post to celebrate." You Benchang laughed.

"Ah? You old man also play this?" Hao Yun was really surprised this time.

Although there are already hundreds of millions of Internet users, most of them are young people. People in their forties or fifties may not go online, let alone people in their seventies or eighties like You Benchang.

I really can’t imagine how old people use social media.

"I was just playing around and didn't understand how to authenticate..." You Benchang said a little embarrassedly.

"I can. I'll help you." An Xiaoxi volunteered.

"Hehe~" Hao Yun did not expose her.

An Xiaoxi is not someone who is very good at using electronic products. She is only a little bit good at using Weibo.

After chatting for a while, we started filming.

Considering that You Benchang signed a one-week acting contract, there was no problem at all in filming this scene.

In fact, one day should be enough.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Perhaps it was because the director arranged an eight-hour work system so as not to tire the old man out, or perhaps Mr. An’s performance was indeed not good enough. The director was striving for perfection, so this scene took five days to shoot.

When the filming was completed, it was already November 2008, 11.
