Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 274 White Wolf with Empty Gloves

She practiced the ability to use her diaphragm to produce sound for a long time.

Therefore, her lung capacity and other physical abilities are far superior to those of an average person.

But not Taylor Swift.

If her various indicators do not meet the standard, she will not be able to take over Li Ruotong's roles.

This led to her being placed alone, where her acting skills appeared to be fairly average.

Compared to Li Ruotong, it appears extremely poor, even utterly useless.

This is like treating a piece of gold the size of a fingernail as a treasure.

But when it was placed in front of a pearl as tall as a person, it turned out to be...

The brilliance of this gold was completely obscured, making it seem utterly worthless.

Moreover, Taylor Swift's acting skills are actually not even worth mentioning.

Therefore, she appeared inferior in front of Li Ruotong.

This resulted in the two actors never being able to get their scenes together in one take.

Because the mold can't connect.

"I know what's going on."

Jiang Nian said.

Li Tiansheng looked at Jiang Nian with amazement:

"Teacher Jiang Nian, please give me your guidance."

"It's actually very simple. As long as Taylor Swift gets into character, everything will be fine."

Li Tiansheng was stunned:

"Teacher Jiang Nian, isn't this asking a bit too much of you?"

"Getting completely absorbed in the role is extremely difficult, no matter which one!"

Jiang Nian smiled calmly:
"How about this, let's use camera tricks to film the scene."

"Li Ruotong's scenes were filmed separately, and so were Taylor Swift's scenes."

"It's just that I'll be her co-star."

Upon hearing this, Li Tiansheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed excitedly:

"That's right! Teacher Jiang Nian, how come I didn't think of that?"

"Alright, alright, let's do it your way!"

"Everyone, adjust your angles, let's start filming again!"

Immediately, everyone on the field began to act quickly.

Li Ruotong couldn't help but become interested at this moment.

Everyone says that Jiang Nian is the most talented person in the industry, even more like a director than the director himself.

She was genuinely curious: was Jiang Nian really as miraculous as the legends suggested? Then, after Taylor Swift left the stage, they filmed Li Ruotong's solo scene first.

She performs while looking at thin air.

Even though there was no one to compare him to, he acted even better than those who did, getting it right in one take and delivering an extremely vivid performance.

In an instant, a burst of enthusiastic applause rang out in the arena.

"it is good!"

Countless actors praised it.

Because Li Ruotong's acting was truly superb.

Especially with so many people watching, and without any props to act with, it's incredibly difficult.

Because she needs to imagine things out of thin air and grasp the rhythm of the other person's speech, etc.

Adjust your own expression and demeanor.

The difficulty level has skyrocketed.

But she did it.

Next, it was naturally time for Jiang Nian and Taylor Swift to take the stage.

Li Tiansheng said worriedly:

"Teacher Jiang Nian, have you memorized the lines for those scenes in Teacher Li Ruotong's script?"

Jiang Nian nodded:
"Don't worry, I've noted it all down."

Upon hearing this, Li Tiansheng gasped sharply, staring at Jiang Nian in disbelief, his eyes still filled with doubt.

Because it's just too hard to believe.

But trusting Jiang Nian, he nodded in agreement:

"Teacher Jiang Nian, let's get ready to begin."

Then, Jiang Nian put on his costume as Bai Shijing and stood still.

Seeing this, Li Tiansheng frowned in confusion, wanting to remind Jiang Nian if she had forgotten to wear Li Ruotong's clothes.

Moreover, in his opinion, Jiang Nian should dress up in a way that is similar to Li Ruotong's makeup so that Taylor Swift can get into character more easily.
But thinking that Jiang Nian wouldn't make such a basic mistake, he didn't say anything to remind him.

Instead, they silently observed the situation.

"Teacher Jiang Nian..."

Taylor Swift stood cautiously and awkwardly in front of Jiang Nian, looking at him with concern.

"Don't worry, you can do it."

Jiang Nian gave her a reassuring look and smiled easily.

That familiar smile seemed to have a magical power, instantly brightening Taylor Swift's eyes and dispelling much of her unease.

“Miss Taylor Swift, I’m going to use Li Ruotong’s lines to act with you next. Just think of me as Bai Shijing.”

"But now I am a cold-blooded and ruthless Bai Shijing who is here to kill you."

Upon hearing this, Taylor Swift's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped some inspiration.

To be honest, she really knows nothing about acting.

The reason I was able to act so well with Jiang Nian this morning is because I had already mastered the knack.

Unexpectedly, he was exposed when he acted with Li Ruotong in the afternoon.

Compared to Li Ruotong's powerful acting skills, she herself seemed utterly worthless.

This caused Taylor Swift a lot of distress.

But now she felt like she could do it again.

Then, under Jiang Nian's guidance, Taylor Swift felt herself getting into the swing of things.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Tiansheng shouted:
"Start shooting!"

All items are activated immediately.

Jiang Nian also acted according to his understanding of the script.

The dialogue went like this:
"Kang Min, you deserve to die!"

Jiang Nian took a cold sip.

Taylor Swift looked at Jiang Nian.

He imagined the familiar Bai Shijing before him as a villain seeking revenge.

The next second, she felt as if she had an inspiration, and immediately put on a fierce, arrogant and disdainful look.

sneered:
"You? You dare to come looking for revenge? You're just asking for death."

Then Jiang Nian refuted them one by one, and the two spent half a day just arguing.

But this wonderful scene made Li Tiansheng's face light up with joy, and he wanted to shout out his approval.

Because this filming is absolutely amazing!
However, in order to prevent it from affecting the mood of the two of them.

In particular, it affects Taylor Swift's mood, preventing her from having any problems.

He could only suppress his excitement and continue staring.

Finally, after going through the scene again and again, the scene was actually filmed in one take!
"Okay! Passed! Click!"

Li Tiansheng stood up excitedly.

The assistant director, Li Ruotong, Chen Haomin, Fan Shaohuang and other actors were all dumbfounded and shocked by this scene.

Li Ruotong exclaimed in amazement:

"Amazing, absolutely amazing! Is this what Teacher Jiang Nian is capable of?"

"This is simply beyond our understanding of acting!"

Chen Haomin nodded in agreement:

"If our acting skills are called 'getting into character,' then Teacher Jiang Nian's acting skills are 'getting into a trance'!"

Fan Shaohuang shook his head and said:

"No! Even being engrossed isn't enough."

"Someone who can easily lead others into a state of ecstasy is already a god; it's a god putting on an act!"

This statement immediately won the approval of everyone, and they all watched the scene unfold with intense focus.

Previously, despite the help and guidance of others, Taylor Swift was unable to get into character no matter what she tried. They even thought that Jiang Nian's scene was indeed very difficult to act.

At least they felt they definitely couldn't pass it on the first try.

Getting it right once out of ten times is already pretty good, so Taylor Swift was given many chances.

Taylor Swift practiced for thirty or forty games but still couldn't get past the mark, which left them quite helpless.

But as soon as Jiang Nian arrived, that feeling returned.

For example, Taylor Swift, who acted opposite Jiang Nian, captivated the audience who were merely watching, making them feel as if they were immersed in the scene.

If Jiang Nian hadn't broken free, they would probably still be immersed in it.

He thought he was just an observer in that play.

This feeling left everyone present terrified.

"It would be great if Teacher Jiang Nian could be the assistant director."

Assistant Director: ? ? ?

Hearing Li Tiansheng's words, he was completely dumbfounded and immediately stood up, thinking to himself:

"If Jiang Nian becomes the assistant director, then what am I supposed to do? There doesn't seem to be any extra space here."

In an instant, the assistant director trembled all over, terrified.

Li Tiansheng immediately went to Jiang Nian's side and said directly:
"Teacher Jiang Nian, are you interested in...?"

Before Li Tiansheng could finish speaking, Jiang Nian directly refused:

"Not interested in."

"Oh, I haven't said what it is yet."

Li Tiansheng stared blankly at Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian looked at Li Tiansheng's dazed and innocent expression with amusement.

A grown man trying to play dumb in front of him and get away with it is a dead end.

Jiang Nian had clearly heard what he had just muttered.

Based on Li Tiansheng's nature...

This old guy probably won't pay a single extra penny; he just wants me to work for free.

So how could Jiang Nian possibly give him a chance? Wouldn't it be better for him to practice martial arts on his own for a while?
"Director, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Jiang Niandao.

Li Tiansheng nodded helplessly, knowing that his plans had failed.

Just as Jiang Nian had thought.

Li Tiansheng originally planned to use moral blackmail to make Jiang Nian work for him without paying a cent.

Because although everyone else is a top actor with excellent acting skills.

However, the effect of a performance that is immersive and one that is not is worlds apart.

Even Taylor Swift, who has absolutely no acting skills and is even extremely bad, became more expressive than veteran actress Li Ruotong after getting into character, making her performance seem almost real.

Wouldn't these veteran actors be even more outstanding when they are fully immersed in the role?

The plot of this drama itself is very good, so it is bound to become a hit, and may even become a classic.

But when I think about how I would have to spend another two or three million to get Jiang Nian to work, wouldn't I be losing out?
Li Tiansheng really couldn't bear to spend that money.

Li Tiansheng shook his head helplessly and sighed.

I'm still poor after all!

Furthermore, since Jiang Nian and Taylor Swift's next scenes have already been filmed.

Although the two have finished filming.

And the entire filming time they took seems very short.

But in reality, all of this has taken nearly half a month.

It is estimated that it will take another six months to complete the filming of the entire series.

Because the other actors had longer and more scenes, and filming required changing locations multiple times.

The cost isn't much, but it's a huge amount.

Meanwhile, Jiang Nian, who had nothing to do, didn't plan to stay there any longer and sent a text message to Li Tiansheng.

He was preparing to drive back, or perhaps return to Beijing to find Yang Mi.

After not seeing her for a while, Jiang Nian still missed her a bit.

Moreover, it's time for him to prepare to set his sights on the role of a grandmaster.

However, just thinking about this gave Jiang Nian a real headache.

In Jiang Nian's memory, apart from Cao Zhengchun, there were basically no other characters who could reach the level of a grandmaster or above and were still eunuchs.

"Could this road really be coming to an end?"

Jiang Nian pinched the bridge of his nose, his face quite unpleasant.

If there aren't any master-level eunuchs, then we can only find more ordinary adventure roles to play, but there seems to be no end to that.

"That rascal Zhang Linyu, all he does is fool around all day."

"Even if you were my agent, you couldn't find the role I needed most."

What use is he anyway?

"Hey, Zhang Linyu! If you can't find me a grandmaster-level eunuch who's even more skilled than Cao Zhengchun within this month, you'll see how I deal with you!"

In a fit of anger, Jiang Nian called Zhang Linyu directly.

But Zhang Linyu's voice on the other end of the phone sounded weak and listless, as if she might breathe her last at any moment.

This made Jiang Nian even angrier.

He was even afraid that the kid would die on his phone the next second.

"No, Jiang Nian."

"Also, didn't Sister Yang Mi find you a new role before? Didn't you just start filming?"

"It's only been half a month, why are you in such a hurry to find a new drama to film?"

"You're a big star now, and you're not short of money, so what's the rush?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Linyu, with dark circles under her eyes, spoke weakly, her whole body trembling.

"Fine, this is still my fault."

"Excuse me, which agent is as irresponsible as you?"

"You don't want to do this anymore, huh? Then I'll just find you a new agent."

"No, no!"

The weak Zhang Linyu said hurriedly over the phone,
"Jiang Nian, don't worry, it won't take a month."

"Three days, I'll find you the next role in three days."

Hearing Zhang Linyu's assurance, Jiang Nian felt much relieved and hung up the phone immediately.

Jiang Nian had great faith in Zhang Linyu's abilities.

At least in crucial moments, this kid has never let me down.

If he could get rid of his bad habits of being unable to tolerate good nutrition and not doing anything productive all day, he would definitely be a top-notch agent.

But this very personality trait is also his biggest flaw.

"Forget it, it was this kid's fault back then, otherwise I wouldn't have taken a liking to him."

Just as Jiang Nian was complaining, Taylor Swift's melodious voice rang in his ear:

"Teacher Jiang Nian, who are you talking to? Why are you referring to yourself as 'this old man'?"

Taylor Swift asked curiously.

"broker."

Jiang Nian said.

As for why he calls himself "this old man," Jiang Nian did not offer much explanation.

It seems his relationship with Taylor Swift has come to an end today.

The two met because of this movie.

If Li Tiansheng hadn't specifically instructed him, Jiang Nian would have left the crew long ago.

"Miss Taylor Swift, until we meet again."

Without giving Taylor Swift a chance to ask any more questions, Jiang Nian headed straight for the parking lot.

Taylor Swift was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

How come it ended so soon?
She hasn't even gotten a single hair on Jiang Nian's head yet.

How am I going to explain this to everyone? This is terrible!
For the first time, Taylor Swift showed panic on her face, and in a moment of panic, she quickly chased after him.

"Teacher Jiang Nian, may I come with you?"

Looking at Taylor Swift beside him, who had two big, bright eyes looking at him expectantly.

Jiang Nian casually said:
"It's up to you, but I'm going to the capital and probably won't be coming back. If you want to come with me, then go ahead."
