This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 128 You're really good at this!
Before arriving, Li Quan had thoroughly investigated the situation of the film crew and specially ordered coffee for everyone in the crew.

On a hot day, a cup of iced coffee by yourself is still very refreshing.

This is equivalent to the etiquette of joining a group.

Quan Ge is quite reliable when it comes to social skills.

When the little girl heard that there was coffee to drink, her smile became even warmer.

Before long, the group arrived at the film set.

The filming location for "Song of the Clear Sky" was a specially constructed replica of an ancient Tang Dynasty building.

Inside the ancient building, a group of people dressed in ancient costumes are resting.

What's particularly eye-catching is a male actor dressed in ancient costume, sitting on a camping chair with someone holding a parasol for him, and he's sleeping in the chair.

His art style was completely out of place with everyone around him.

Lu Ran recognized the person at a glance; it was Jiang Haoxing.

I have to say, they really know how to enjoy life.

The young girl led Lu Ran and the other person to the monitor.

There was a middle-aged man watching the monitor, and Ning Sirou, dressed in ancient costume, was standing next to him.

Ning Sirou said happily, "Lu Ran, you're here!"

The middle-aged man also turned his head and looked Lu Ran up and down.

Lu Ran took the initiative to step forward and introduce himself.

This middle-aged man is David Ho, the director of "Song of the Clear Sky".

David He's eyes lit up when he looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's appearance is too handsome.

Nowadays, the entertainment industry is rife with ugly male leads in period dramas, and there are far too few good-looking actors.

It's not that there aren't any, it's just that the handsome ones don't get to be in the spotlight.

He Dawei was increasingly satisfied with Lu Ran. He could basically imagine Lu Ran's appearance in the ancient costume drama, which should be more handsome than Jiang Haoxing.

But we can't rush it.

David said slowly, "Take a few steps first, and I'll see your demeanor."

Period dramas have requirements regarding walking posture.

David He didn't expect Lu Ran to walk with a standard square gait, as long as he didn't shake his head or walk listlessly.

After years of experience in the workplace, David He has developed a calm and composed mindset.

When filming a TV series, good enough is good enough.

With this group of actors, what kind of film do you expect?

Although he had seen Lu Ran's performances, there is still a difference between modern dramas and period dramas.

Lu Ran nodded, and the audition began.

He took a few steps back, activated his Emotional Immersion talent, and immersed himself in the role of the tiger demon Changfeng.

Then he took a step forward.

He walked with a steady gait, chest out, head held high, and sharp eyes.

David felt that Lu Ran's eyes were a bit like a tiger's, making him feel a little creeped out.

A few steps later, Lu Ran walked up to He Dawei.

"Director He, how is it?" Lu Ran asked earnestly.

He figured it out himself.

David He looked like he'd seen a ghost.

He was a young actor in his early twenties, and he had never seen anything like it before.

Are you serious about the way you walk?
It really felt like a fierce tiger was walking towards us.

This is much more impressive than he expected.

David He nodded: "Sure, I saw your performance on stage. You can handle a gun?"

"know a little."

"Props, bring me the long-bladed gun," David He ordered.

Shortly after, the props team arrived with a 3.2-meter-long spear.

At that moment, a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties, walked over.

This middle-aged man is Pang Yuntian, the martial arts director of the film crew.

Pang Yuntian is also a martial arts actor with real kung fu skills.

However, action films have declined in popularity, and Pang Yuntian works as a martial arts instructor in addition to acting.

Pang Yuntian leaned closer and asked curiously, "Is this the new actor who plays Changfeng?"

Ning Sirou said with a grin, "Teacher Pang, he's amazing! Did you see the 'Serve the Country with Utmost Loyalty' stage?"

Pang Yuntian shook his head: "I rarely watch TV, but I have heard of this song before."

“If you didn’t see it, that’s fine. He’s a very good shot,” Ning Sirou said.

Pang Yuntian immediately became interested.

Good marksmanship?
How good can it be?

At this moment, Lu Ran had already taken the long-bladed weapon, the Xuan Tie spear. Although it was a prop, it still weighed several kilograms.

However, this weight was nothing to Lu Ran; the gun he used for shooting practice was much heavier than this.

When Lu Ran picked up the gun, everyone on the film crew put down what they were doing and stared at him.

Some people who had witnessed Lu Ran wielding a spear on the stage of "Serving the Country with Utmost Loyalty" also wanted to see how skilled Lu Ran was in real life.

After all, even if the final of the King of Singers is broadcast live, the recorded footage can still be shown when Lu Ran performs his spear dance.

Lu Ran took a few steps back.

Pang Yuntian also asked everyone around to make way, clearing a space for Lu Ran.

Lu Ran first assumed a starting stance, then held his spear horizontally in front of him.

The spear thrust out suddenly, then the tip arced to the left, then to the right, and finally thrust forward again.

Lu Ran then sheathed the spear, twirled it in his hand, and then pulled it back.

The entire action was completed in one smooth motion, taking only a few seconds.

Pang Yuntian was all smiles at first, but then his smile disappeared, replaced by surprise.

Lu Ran just demonstrated the basic movements of the spear: blocking, grabbing, thrusting, and a spear spin.

It looks simple, but you definitely can't do it if you haven't practiced.

"Wow, that's really something," Pang Yuntian murmured.

It's been a long time since we've seen young, popular actors wielding weapons.

David was mentally prepared, but seeing it in person is still different from seeing it on TV.

David was incredibly excited.

"I think I can film some of the moves!"

He has directed many fantasy dramas before, and they were genuine fantasy dramas, not the current fantasy idol dramas.

However, the entertainment industry is constantly evolving, and each generation of actors is not as good as the last.

He also needs to earn money to eat.

David Ho used to say on set, "There's a problem with this part, let's do it again!"

Now he often says, "That's good, that's good, you did a great job!"

Especially the action scenes in the show, the lead actors either didn't want to do them or used stunt doubles.

This prevented many of his ideas from being realized.

But he saw hope in Lu Ran.

David He looked at Pang Yuntian: "What do you think?"

Pang Yuntian nodded: "Very good. With him here, I can make some changes to my movements."

David Ho chuckled and said, "Make me more handsome."

Pang Yuntian lowered his voice: "Aren't you afraid that the male supporting character will steal the spotlight from the male lead?"

David He didn't care.

"I don't care about this or that. He can't blame me for his own lack of ambition."

Only a veteran director like David Ho would dare to say something like that.

Pang Yuntian and He Dawei were old acquaintances, and he smiled and said, "Okay, leave it to me."

David He nodded in satisfaction: "Lu Ran, go and try on your makeup now."

"okay!"

The same girl took Lu Ran to the dressing room again.

After Lu Ran left, Li Quan had already contacted the crew and distributed the coffee he had bought to all the staff.

This kind of behavior is common on film sets. New lead actors or important supporting actors often treat the entire crew to coffee so that everyone can get to know each other.

It wasn't much money, but it could improve the attitude of everyone in the crew, making it easier to move the work forward.

However, this is entirely voluntary; you can choose to give it or not.

For example, Jiang Haoxing didn't send any gifts when he joined the crew.

In the dressing room.

Lu Ran sat in front of the mirror.

There are all sorts of makeup props here, including a whole bunch of wigs and similar items.

Soon, a group of makeup artists came up and surrounded Lu Ran.

A group of people stared at Lu Ran's face for a long time before they started to take action.

This kind of makeup is a delicate task and takes a lot of time.

Lu Ran let the makeup artist do whatever he wanted to his face.

An hour later, the makeup artist said, "It's ready, go change your clothes."

Lu Ran was then led into the changing room by the teacher in charge of clothing.
