Chapter 14 Art comes from life

After putting on makeup, Zhou Le went to take photos.

Zhou Le used to like taking photos very much, not taking selfies, but letting others take photos of him.

You can admire your own handsomeness in the mirror every day, but if someone else takes a picture of you, it means that others can also see your handsome face every day.

At first, Zhou Le was immersed in the novelty and excitement of taking pictures, but as the shooting progressed, he gradually felt exhausted.

Every adjustment of angle and every control of expression is like a difficult battle.

He had never imagined that taking pictures could be so tiring.

The filming was finally completed, and Zhou Le felt as if he was shrouded in some invisible constraints again. The feeling of being invaded by the "class atmosphere" after regaining his freedom made him feel helpless.

Afterwards, bored Zhou Le began to flip through the script.

The script Zhou Le received at the beginning was about a Taiwanese person, but after signing the contract, the script was changed to show Zhou Le's real background.

My father is from Guangdong and my mother is from Jiangsu, but they both started their careers in Beijing very early on, so I have a Beijing hukou.

But it is too difficult to buy a house in BJ.

So they always rented a house until they passed away in an accident.

Therefore, there will be some Jiangsu and Guangdong dialects in Zhou Le's revised script.

Not long after, Qiao Shan sat down next to Zhou Le. They had talked a lot about Zhou Le's past experiences before.

"Le'er, do you watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Zhou Le: "Yeah, I loved watching it before, and later I played a lot of games, such as Devouring the World, Dynasty Warriors, and Three Kingdoms Kill. Among them, my favorite is Three Kingdoms Kill."

"Haha, because just now Nazha said that she filmed a movie called The Legend of Zhao Yun last year and it's now airing on Hunan TV. Then I thought about it. I haven't watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a long time. I can watch it again when I have time. After all, I also have to perform skits sometimes, so it doesn't hurt to watch more."

"That's true, but I don't know if you've noticed, Brother Shan, that their names actually reflect their ambitions."

Qiao Shan: "What do you mean?"

"For example, Liu Bei's sons, Liu Feng and Liu Chan, together they are called Feng Chan."

Qiao Shan: “It seems so.”

"There are also Sun Ce and Sun Quan, put together they are Quan Ce."

Qiao Shan smiled. "That's quite interesting. What about the Cao family?"

Zhou Le: "There are many people in the Cao family, and if you want to show it, you can also include the name of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, Cao Shuang, and Cao Ang."

Qiao Shan listened to these names and began to put them together in his mind: "Fuck, it feels so good!"

"???"

"No, you..." Qiao Shan laughed.

Zhou Le spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. It was given by the Cao family themselves. It has nothing to do with me."

But as he was talking, Naza came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Talking about the Three Kingdoms." Zhou Le replied with a smile.

Qiao Shan also quickly said, "Yes, we were talking about the Three Kingdoms. I said my favorite is Guan Yu." Then he put his arm around Zhou Le's shoulders and said, "It's your turn, Le'er. Who do you like best?"

Zhou Le: "I like Diao Chan the most."

Gulinazha: "???"

Qiao Shan: “???”

Because Qiao Shan had talked with Nazha before, he knew that she played Diao Chan in The Legend of Zhao Yun.

"No, have you seen it?" Qiao Shan asked.

"What have you seen?" Zhou Le didn't understand.

Qiao Shan: "Naza's drama, the one about the martial god Zhao Zilong."

Zhou Le looked at Guli Nazha and thought that if he nodded, wouldn’t he be exposed if the other party asked for more details?

So he shook his head honestly.

"No."

"Then what do you say about Diao Chan?"

Zhou Le: "I just instinctively thought of one sentence, where is my Diao Chan?"

As a result, the next moment, Gulinaza and Qiao Shan said at the same time: "Isn't he here?"

However, Guli Nazha was talking about herself, while Qiao Shan patted Zhou Le on the waist.

Zhou Le: "???"

Gulinazha: "???"

Nazha immediately understood what he meant: "Brother Shan, you are so disgusting!"

After saying that, he ran away with a red face.

Qiao Shan: "No, what did I say? Why am I the only one who is disgusting? What about you?"

Zhou Le laughed: "Brother Shan, handsome people are not vulgar, they are humorous." "No, am I not handsome?"

"Brother Shan, what I mean is that her taste is not good, especially when it comes to men, it's too bad."

"I think so too."

Not long after, Dapeng came back, his hand was bandaged and he received an injection.

Filming continued in the afternoon.

Moreover, the dog named Lili was only comforted and not punished.

Because according to analysis, he was probably startled by the firecrackers at the opening ceremony.

"We'll start shooting the opening credits and the fundraising scenes this afternoon. Teacher Fan, Brother Liu, Brother Long, Yiming, Yunhe, Ranran, and Lu Si, start getting ready and get your makeup and styling done. I'll come over and explain everything to you later."

Zhou Le watched from the side.

Teacher Fan is Fan Wei, who was once Zhao Benshan’s golden partner.

But the role of the surgeon who performed double eyelid surgery on Mr. Fan was played by Liu Yajun, the former guitarist of the Tang Dynasty band. He joined and left the band twice and was once named "China's greatest guitarist" by SPIN magazine.

He is a veteran among veterans in the history of Chinese rock music.

The warehouse manager in charge of the autumn johns is Long Long, who once formed the band Baojia Street No. 43 with Wang Feng, and later joined Zang Tianshuo's band and formed the avant-garde improvisational band "Bu Yi Ding" with Dou Wei. Later, he co-founded the folk record label "13 Months" with musician Lu Zhongqiang.

Afterwards, he formed the "Tuanjiehu Band" and joined the Laolang Band as music director.

After that, he served as music director for major music programs and some concerts, and also had his own company.

But, after a while.

Suddenly, a little girl came running from not far away from the set.

She was wearing a nurse's uniform that perfectly outlined her slender waist. She wore an exquisite nurse's cap on her head, with a few strands of hair playfully peeking out from under the brim, making her face look pretty and lovely. As she approached, Zhou Le saw that the little girl's eyes were bright and clear, like a clear spring, and her smile was curved, as if hiding stars.

It was not known whether it was from running or the heat, but when she came closer, her cheeks flushed slightly, and with the shyness and innocence unique to young girls, she stood in front of Zhou Le and said crisply, "Hello, Brother Zhou Le, my name is Zhao Lusi."

She has a soft voice and a sweet appearance.

It's the kind of sweetness that hasn't been refined.

Zhou Le remembered that the other person seemed to have appeared on a variety show, but there were not many shots of him.

She also made a guest appearance in the drama, playing the role of a young nurse.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Le, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Le asked curiously.

"It's like this, Brother Zhou Le. I have to play a young nurse, so I went back and practiced for a long time, but I'm not sure if I can do it. I originally wanted to ask Director Dapeng, but he was busy. Then I thought about asking Brother Shan, but Director Dapeng said he had to leave first and would be back to shoot the night scene in the evening, so he asked me to ask you."

"Looking for me? Can I help you watch the show?"

"Yes, there are no lines, it's mainly the expressions and eyes."

Zhou Le nodded happily.

"Come on then."

During the process, Zhou Le discovered that the other party's acting was indeed not difficult, and the whole process only involved eye contact and lines.

But to be honest, Zhao Lusi's performance was bland and had no highlights at all. Even a layman like me could see it very clearly.

Zhou Le even felt that the other party must have some background or brought money into the group, otherwise Zhou Le would not have thought that Dapeng would value the other party's points.

But even though the other party had come to him, Zhou Le had never taught anyone acting.

"I think you still don't understand this character."

"First of all, you're a nurse at a plastic surgery hospital. Plastic surgery hospitals are generally private, so service is very important. However, when you're removing Mr. Fan's bandages, you must be nervous and serious, and move slowly. Otherwise, you might just rip his eyelids off. It's bound to be painful, not to mention the bloody Red Lake."

Hearing this, Zhao Lusi couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart.

When I thought of this scene in my mind, I got goosebumps all over my body.

"But when he opens his eyes, how do you feel? You must be happy, because the patient didn't get hurt by you, so when you are happy, you should smile, but not show your teeth. When you two look at each other, you show your teeth. I'll tell you the reason later."

"No need to say much in the corridor, just stand there and watch Teacher Fan perform. You performed well."

"Finally, you're on the hot air balloon. You have to look down, understand? You've never seen anything like this, so you're smiling, happy, and staring intently. As for why you're happy, it's because you're being kept by a big boss. A nurse making a few thousand yuan a month is being kept, or in other words, the boss's mistress. From then on, you experience wealth and glory, so you must be happy."

Zhou Le spoke as he demonstrated.

Zhao Lusi's eyes lit up and she said admiringly, "Wow, it seems to be much better. Brother Zhou Le, you have a strong ability to understand the role."

Zhou Le glanced calmly at the slightly increased experience value on the system panel.

Then he shook his head and said, "It's not that I understand the character, it's just that I have seen the scene with my own eyes."

He had indeed seen it.

At that time, he had just joined the company and because of his strong academic qualifications and abilities, he became an apprentice to the project manager.

After that, he had driven the project manager out at night many times.

Although it was different women each time, their expressions were basically the same.
