Chapter 7 Let him try "Huo Qubing"!
The staff of "The Emperor Wu of Han" looked at Sheng Yunxuan, who was introduced by an acquaintance, and looked at him carefully, and nodded secretly.

Because of the lack of actors, their crew has already started to select people from the extras to appear in the film.

Many extras are handsome men and beautiful women in real life, but they appear mediocre and unremarkable in front of the camera.

Acting skills are also a problem. Many extras can play maids and servants, but they are not good enough to play supporting roles that have a lot of screen time!

And Sheng Yunxuan in front of him, with handsome features, tall stature, and experience in serious filming, is always much better than those extras.

In this special period, people like Sheng Yunxuan who have good looks, shooting experience and low prices are always wanted by every crew!

The crew member was pleasantly surprised and quickly went to find the deputy director Xu Chenglin who was in charge of this matter.

When Assistant Director Xu Chenglin saw Sheng Yunxuan, he immediately made the decision without saying anything.
"Come over and be a supporting actor first. It's 2,500 yuan a month, food and lodging included, and you can come whenever you're called."

"If you come across a role that suits you later, we can sign a new contract!"

Because the drama "Emperor Wu of Han" was filmed on location, we had to travel all over the country.

If they didn't sign a "joining cast" contract, they were afraid Sheng Yunxuan wouldn't be able to stay...

After the contract was signed, Assistant Director Xu Chenglin continued:
"Many roles in our crew require horseback riding skills. How about this? I'll have someone take you to the rented horses to learn how to ride first, so that it will be convenient for the subsequent filming."

Although Sheng Yunxuan's role has not been decided yet, with his appearance, it would be a shame if he didn't play a general...

Sheng Yunxuan did not refuse and accepted the arrangement directly. He was first taken by the staff to learn horse riding.

I have to say, this is a truly big-budget production. For example, the crew currently has around 30 or 40 horses on loan.

This number may not seem like a lot, but in fact, most crews use some shooting techniques when filming, and only a dozen horses are enough to create a usable scene effect.

Renting thirty or forty horses at once would be a huge expense for other crews.

But the crew of "The Emperor of Han Wu" is obviously not enough!

While chatting with the staff, Sheng Yunxuan heard that when the crew was filming on the grassland before, they rented more than 400 horses to shoot the war scenes.

And if it weren't for special reasons, this number would at least increase tenfold...

When they arrived at the stable, the staff who brought Sheng Yunxuan here took special care and asked the trainer to help pick a horse with a gentle temperament.

Since many actors on the crew had already been taught how to ride horses, the trainer was quite familiar with the process.

He helped pick a horse and then gave Sheng Yunxuan a lot of precautions.

Sheng Yunxuan listened patiently, then walked to the horse with the help of the trainer to calm it down.

However, the moment he came into contact with the horse, Sheng Yunxuan suddenly felt an unusually familiar feeling in his heart.

Then, without any help from the trainer next to him, Sheng Yunxuan turned over swiftly and sat steadily on the horse.

The trainer beside him looked at Sheng Yunxuan's smooth movements and said in surprise:

"Can you ride a horse?"

Sheng Yunxuan, who was sitting on the horse, smiled, then opened his eyes and made up a story:
"...Not particularly. I just came across it once before when filming on another crew."

In fact, he learned how to ride a horse because of the second Sims settlement. Because he had enough achievement points, Sheng Yunxuan exchanged them for the horseback archery experience of "Turkic Jili Khan".

However, he had never had the opportunity to actually ride a horse before, and didn't know the full effect of this reward, so he hadn't spoken a word until now. But after actually trying it, he found that riding a horse had already become inexplicably familiar!

The trainer also knew that many actors had learned horse riding during filming, so it was not too strange.

He was just a little surprised. After all, Sheng Yunxuan's movements on the horse just now didn't seem like something someone who had only ridden a horse once could do...

"Then you're quite talented. You can ride like this after just one try..."

The trainer nodded and continued:
"But that's fine. If you get familiar with it a little more, you should be able to participate in the filming of the crew!"

In fact, the crew does not have such high requirements for the actors' riding skills. Most of them just need to be able to ride.

After all, if some actors' shots on horseback are really difficult, they can hire professional equestrians as stand-ins...

Sheng Yunxuan politely said "Sorry for the trouble" to the trainer, and then began to ride around on the horse twice under the trainer's guidance.

Seeing that Sheng Yunxuan's horse riding movements were quite standard, the trainer felt even more relieved and simply let him go and let him try to run on his own.

At this time, Sheng Yunxuan also wanted to test the effect of the reward he had exchanged for.

Upon hearing this, he naturally squeezed the horse's belly skillfully and drove the horse under his crotch to run around the stable.

This horse, which was specially selected for its gentle temperament and has participated in the filming of many TV series, was still cautious when it started running, just trotting in circles with small steps.

But under Sheng Yunxuan's deliberate driving, the horse's speed became faster and faster.

But in just a moment, the ground was being knocked more and more rapidly, the dust started to spread in the air, and the "clattering" sound of horses' hooves became continuous.

Sheng Yunxuan galloped on his horse, feeling the sound of the wind whistling past his ears, without any fear in his heart.

The superb riding skills that seemed to be etched in his bones made Sheng Yunxuan feel at ease. The rapid sound of the horse's hooves even made him feel excited!
However, the trainer next to him saw Sheng Yunxuan riding so fast and was so scared that his face turned pale for fear of an accident. He shouted in panic at him to stop.

Sheng Yunxuan couldn't continue, so he could only slow down his horse and stop...

At the same time, director Hu Lu, who had just finished explaining the specific shooting tasks to several assistant directors, happened to hear the commotion here and subconsciously looked over here.

Because of the distance, director Hu Lu couldn't see clearly. He only saw Sheng Yunxuan's tall figure riding on the horse from a distance.

But it was precisely because it didn't look real that she had room to imagine it herself!
Amidst the rising dust, a heroic and unruly young general galloped towards them on horseback...

Director Hu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help asking:

"Who's riding over there?"

"Oh, he's a new actor. I asked him to learn horse riding... but it looks like he's learned it before."

"Which role are you playing?"

"It hasn't been decided yet..."

"Let him try Huo Qubing!"

"Ah...oh, good!"
