Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

"My name is Ren Wuliu, but they all call me Digua. I am the reconnaissance company commander of the Wuyi County Independent Regiment."

"With great power comes great responsibility, I..."

Zhang Ze held a piece of paper and read it aloud in a low voice.

This piece of paper contains his understanding of the character Digua, which can be considered a short biography of the character.

With two years of acting experience, he has mastered how to get into character and empathize with the character.

On the bedside table next to her, there was a stack of books about acting.

The Power of Actors

Six Lectures on Acting

Despite his talent for acting, Zhang Ze never gave up during those two years, relying solely on his own hard work.

When he's not filming, he likes to read books and watch movies to hone his acting skills.

At that time, he was staying in a dormitory with multiple people arranged by the film crew.

He shared a dormitory room with four other people: Renao, Dagou, and Daizi.

"So that's why your acting is so good! You've been working so hard behind the scenes!"

Wang Lei walked into the room and saw Zhang Ze lying on the bed reading something. He couldn't help but make a joke.

"Hey, the early bird catches the worm! Without systematic acting training, your foundation is weak. How can you succeed without putting in hard work behind the scenes!"

Zhang Ze said modestly.

"Stop lying there, you guys, let's go play ball!"

"Li Jian got his hands on a basketball, let's play a game."

The group was very interested when they heard that there was a ball game to play.

We're all young people, and coming to this village in Shijingshan, we're really bored every day except for filming.

They ran out excitedly.

They didn't have professional jerseys and were divided into two teams.

Li Jian and Wang Lei led a team with Da Gou and Dai Zi, while Huang Haibo led a team with Zhang Ze, Renao, and Lu Fang Sheng.

Everyone had a lot of fun playing this game.

While the group was playing ball on the court, they did not notice a middle-aged man standing next to them.

"The atmosphere on our set is great!"

"We're all men, there's no fuss around. A good relationship between the actors makes filming easier," director Xu Jizou replied with a smile.

"Director, why didn't you say anything before coming over? Should we go down on set and give you a couple of blows?"

Seeing someone nearby, Wang Lei smiled and invited Xu Ji Zou.

He has a very good relationship with Xu Ji Zou, and the director insisted on casting him in this film despite pressure from the investors.

"You young people have fun, I have an interview to do later," Xu Ji Zou waved his hand in refusal.

"You must be Teacher Ni? Hello, I'm Wang Lei."

Upon seeing the middle-aged man next to Xu Ji Zou, Wang Lei went up to greet him.

He knew Ni Dahong, but they had never met before.

There are only a few hundred well-known actors in the industry, so how could someone who's been in the industry for a long time not recognize them?

Anyone who says they don't know someone is either pretending or deliberately belittling someone for being unknown.

Watching dramas and studying acting techniques is a must for actors; which actor hasn't watched hundreds of films behind the scenes!

At this point, the other actors also stopped playing ball and gathered around.

"Hello everyone, I am Ni Dahong."

"I was delayed by other things and only officially joined the crew today."

Ni Dahong greeted everyone with his unique voice.

The game ended with Ni Dahong's arrival.

The next day, Ni Dahong's scenes began to be filmed.

In this drama, he plays a corrupt official who is secretly loyal to the enemy but secretly plots against them, and is a miserly old man.

The first scene filmed was of Li Dabenshi, Chen Feng, and Sun Chenghai rushing into Cui Xiaobian's courtyard in a panic.

A group of men in black, holding Mauser pistols, surrounded the three people.

Li Dabenshi held two grenades in his hands, pretending to pull the pins, while Sun Chenghai and Chen Feng sat on either side, aiming their guns.

Cui Xiaobian held a silver dollar in his hand, turning it over and playing with it.

"Grandma!"

Cui Xiaobian shouted in a domineering manner.

Staring at them with a blank expression, he asked the three men, "Tell me which gang you're from."

The Eighth Route Army

The Ninth Route Army

"National Army"

The three answered at the same time, but they gave three different answers.

As expected of a veteran actor, Ni Dahong's performance was very captivating.

Although his facial expression didn't change, there was a certain charm about him.

That flavor is the taste of landlords and wealthy people from the Republic of China era.

Ni Dahong's main scenes are with the three main characters and the Japanese soldiers and their accomplices.

Zhang Ze simply observed from the sidelines.

But that doesn't stop him from learning from Ni Dahong's acting skills.

He felt that this actor's acting skills were very good!

Ni Dahong didn't have many scenes and only stayed on set for 5 days, but Zhang Ze was impressed by his acting skills.

In particular, the scene where he boldly took out a bomb, lit it with a cigarette, and self-destructed to kill the enemy was very heroic.

He knows when to be timid and when to be domineering. He is greedy to the core, but he can also give up decades of savings for the greater good.

"Young man, keep up the good work!"

"You all have a natural talent for acting. I believe that if you keep at it, you will definitely become great actors."

Ni Dahong patted Zhang Ze on the shoulder and said to Renao, Dagou, Daizi, and Ding Dasuanpan.

After several days of filming, he felt quite good about these young people. They were all down-to-earth and hardworking, but their backgrounds were too humble.

Without connections, it's very difficult to make it big in the entertainment industry.

He himself had also endured a long and arduous journey to achieve success, but he couldn't tell these young people that; he could only offer words of encouragement.

Ni Dahong is gone, but the drama continues.

Zhang Ze, who played Digua, didn't have many scenes to begin with.

But because his performance was so good, and because Huang Haibo used him as a foil in many shots.

The director had to gradually add more scenes for him.

This added many scenes between him and Ding Dasuanpan.

His character, a nobody, gradually became more fleshed out.

Gradually, his screen time became almost as much as that of the supporting character, Ding Dasuanpan.

This made Zhang Ze very happy.

I originally planned to play a guest role, but I ended up playing a supporting role.

This will be of great help to his future career.

When I went to film crews again, I had some decent works to show for myself.

As he became more and more familiar with the role, Zhang Ze gained a deeper understanding of the character Digua and became more and more adept at acting.

The director and lead actors Huang Haibo, Wang Lei, and Li Jian also provided him with a lot of help, which greatly improved his acting skills.

Zhang Ze was the youngest in the entire crew, and his older brothers took good care of him.
