Entertainment Era: My Good Sister Is All Over the World

Huang Wenbin's filming, however, went quite smoothly.

For example, the first scene filmed was when the second brother took the third brother to find Sister Hua to recognize her, and then they were caught by Master Huang.

In the original version of this scene, the second and third brothers came to visit Sister Hua. As for whether they played any special games, it's unclear.

Jiang Wen didn't say anything, but simply let the three of them play with the human bicycle for a bit.

Then, Master Huang arrived with his men.

Because Sister Hua was a prostitute bought by Master Huang, he could come to play with her anytime, and also come to collect his debts.

This led to a conflict with the second and third brothers. The reason the conflict was resolved was that Sister Hua gave her personal savings to Master Huang as payment for the second and third brothers' visit.

Master Huang originally wanted to test what they were up to, to find out exactly what they were up to.

After getting the answer he wanted, he took the money Sister Hua offered him and left laughing.

In this version, the characters of Sister Hua and the Second Brother have been changed, and the plot has naturally been changed accordingly.

The second brother brought the third brother to meet Sister Hua to recognize their relatives.

He wanted to confirm whether Sister Hua was indeed his childhood sweetheart.

However, Sister Hua did not easily accept their moves, and the three of them kept testing each other.

Just then, Master Huang arrived with his men, laughing as he questioned the two of them about why they had come to harass his concubine.

Zhang Jinling, a skilled actress, smiled and said, "These two are here to collect their money."

Jiao Huang's eyebrows twitched slightly, but a slow smile still played on his lips: "What silver? Silver thrown in through the window? Wasn't that thrown in by bandits?"

As he spoke, he looked at the second and third brothers with a scrutinizing gaze: "Are you two bandits?"

The second and third brothers' expressions changed slightly, thinking that Master Huang had seen through their identities, and they were unsure whether to defend themselves.

What if this is just Master Huang testing them? Wouldn't they be falling right into a trap?

After several exchanges, Mr. Huang unsurprisingly gained the upper hand.

Zhang Jinling's eyes darted around, and she quickly came to the rescue: "Sir, didn't I already tell you? I was kidnapped. These two officials said they saw the reward my parents offered and wanted to confirm it so they could earn some more money!"

Liao Bingyan, who played the third brother, was somewhat displeased: "Why are you telling him all this! We're government officials, we don't lack money!"

The more they say they have nothing, the more it sounds like they're poor.

Dutch added, "Finding abducted people is the government's responsibility! We're just doing our duty."

"Oh, I see."

Jiao Huang nodded slightly. From his perspective, he was even more certain that these people were there to make money, and they were extremely greedy, not even letting go of this small amount of money.

If that's the case, then there's no obstacle to using these people's lives to make money for oneself.

As the crisis gradually subsided, it became clear that Master Huang didn't really intend to eliminate his second and third sons here.

After exchanging a few perfunctory words with their own ulterior motives, Master Huang left directly, intentionally or unintentionally warning before he departed: "Don't turn into Diao Chan, I'm not Dong Zhuo."

Huang Wenbin, who was watching from the sidelines, found it quite interesting, because this was also the first confrontation between the middle-aged Kangxi and the young Tong Guowei.

The performances of the group were impeccable, especially that of Teacher Jiao Huang.

His portrayal of Huang Silang exudes an aura of quiet authority, a blend of refinement and ruthlessness. Though he speaks and acts with composure, he sends chills down one's spine.

Daqi and Liao Bingyan also performed well, but due to the plot, they were at a disadvantage in the confrontation.

Zhang Jinling was also commendable.

This scene was filmed in one take, it was perfect.

"Passed!"

Chen Huaikai was also very satisfied, and then said, "The actors will take a one-hour break, and the others will set up the scene for the next scene."

The actors breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This scene was rehearsed more than a dozen times, and everyone was on edge. Now they can finally relax.

Huang Wenbin, carrying a water bottle, approached Jiao Huang and said with a smile, "Teacher Jiao, you acted really well. That last moment really had the aura of an emperor. How about you consider playing an emperor or something in the future?"

Jiao Huang took Huang Wenbin's water bottle, and was about to drink when he immediately stopped: "You little brat, are you trying to trick me? I'm not drinking your water."

"How can you call this a trap!" Huang Wenbin said with a grin. "Isn't this just broadening your acting range?"

Jiao Huang shook his head directly: "I won't act. I'm only acting this time because of Director Chen. My main job is still acting in stage plays."

"Making a movie won't interfere with much of your work," Huang Wenbin advised softly. "Besides, with such good acting skills, shouldn't the general public enjoy watching it? Plays are good, but ultimately only a minority can watch them."

That makes sense.

In terms of reach, stage plays certainly cannot compare to film and television dramas.

"We'll see!" Jiao Huang glared at Huang Wenbin irritably. "We still need good scripts. Otherwise, if we put on a bad show for the audience, that would be a huge disgrace."

Huang Wenbin patted his chest and said, "Teacher Jiao, don't worry, I won't produce any bad notebooks."

"Hey, Comrade Xiao Huang, why are you always sticking to Teacher Jiao?"

Zhang Jinling nudged Huang Wenbin with some dissatisfaction: "What about us? Are we not even worth half of your attention?"

"Of course not!" Huang Wenbin laughed and casually said, "It's just that Teacher Jiao is a stage actor, so we hardly ever see him. Sister Jinling, you're from the Beijing Film Studio, so why are you in such a hurry? Would we miss a good show?"

Zhang Jinling laughed: "That's more like it!"

Ge Cunzhuang jokingly said, "Hey, why don't you get me a role as an emperor too?"

"Okay, you'll definitely be included."

Huang Wenbin immediately launched into a line, "I'll write a play about Zhu Yuanzhang, and you'll play Chen Youliang. When his subordinates push him to declare himself emperor, you'll sit high on the dragon throne and say to your men: You've really made my life miserable!"

When this part came up, Huang Wenbin directly imitated Chen Youliang's demeanor and tone when he ascended the throne in Hu Jun's version of "Zhu Yuanzhang". His appearance was very funny, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Grandpa Ge Cunzhuang was so angry that he grabbed something and was about to hit him.

Huang Wenbin darted away in a single stride and quickly disappeared from sight.

"That monkey is really something! Even more infuriating than my own!"

Ge Cunzhuang couldn't help but curse, "Don't let me catch you!"

……

After resting.

The scene for the next scene has been set up.

This time, the scene being performed is the one where Xiao Liuzi is forced to prove his innocence in the tea hall.

This is also a major highlight.

We walked through it together several times, and it seemed like we were almost there.

"Action!" Chen Huaikai waved his hand and shouted.

The cameraman, carrying his equipment, first focused on Li Xuejian, who was playing Hu Wan, and then stopped immediately after Hu Wan finished his lines.

After a slight adjustment, the focus shifted to Xiao Liuzi, played by Zhang Guoli.

This scene was rather complicated to film because it required several camera angle changes.

Huang Wenbin simply observed from the outside, watching the two perform and comparing them to the original version in his mind.

It must be said that Li Xuejian's performance was more nuanced than the original, with some subtle details that viewers might not notice, but which made the character more believable.

Zhang Guoli's acting skills are also better than his son's, but his youthful inexperience is somewhat weaker, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Liu Dagang's portrayal of Wu Zhichong, however, was not as brilliant as Jiang Wu's original performance; it was superficial, but it was still adequate.

"Aren't you just bullying an honest person?!"

At the climax of the play, Li Xuequan suddenly raised his voice and roared.

This scene is reminiscent of Master Yu from the TV series "The Grand Mansion Gate".

Everyone performed perfectly, but near the end, one of the extras lost his footing and fell hard, disrupting the rhythm.

"What's wrong with you!" Assistant Director Zhou Qiyue stepped forward and yelled at the man, "You can't even stand up straight! Do you know how serious a sin it is to waste film?"

The extra was also a little scared. He was a local villager who had come to make do with the money. He didn't expect the camera to pan to him, and he panicked and fell to the ground.

"It's alright, it's alright." Although Chen Huaikai was a little annoyed, he didn't show it and just said, "We can reshoot that little bit later."

Huang Wenbin leaned closer to Chen Huaikai and whispered, "There's no need to reshoot. We've already filmed most of the main scenes. We can cut out the part where he falls and put it in the scene where Xiao Liuzi disembowels himself; that would be reasonable. Not everyone in Goose City is that cold-blooded; there will always be one or two who get scared."

That makes sense.

Chen Huaikai laughed and said, "Your mind really works fast! You're a natural-born director!"
