Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Filming continued the next day.

Today, Zhang Ze's scene involves filming himself as a caretaker of the medical team who gets separated from the main group.

The plot involves the protagonist being wounded by the Japanese soldiers.

Zhang Ze put on a worn-out military uniform, his face smeared with black paint.

He looked filthy.

But he was quite satisfied with the look; one look at the makeup and you could tell this wasn't some kind of anti-Japanese war drama.

"Alright, actors, take your positions."

"Let's begin!"

The assistant director was outside the venue, shouting loudly through a megaphone.

Zhang Ze plays an Eighth Route Army soldier who, along with his comrades, is being chased by the Japanese invaders.

Filming was done intermittently, and the scenes involving Zhang Ze took two hours to shoot.

After that, he worked as an extra, running back and forth between the film set several times.

Fireworks exploded around me several times, and I ended up eating a lot of the mud that was kicked up.

In the afternoon, Zhang Zezuo acted as an extra, playing a Japanese soldier who carried Sanni into the inner room and raped her.

……

On the third day, the director told Zhang Ze early in the morning that they would be filming the scene where he was rescued by Sister Hong, and told him to be prepared.

Zhang Ze had been mentally preparing for several days, and had also developed a very rich understanding of the character's inner thoughts.

Although I was a little nervous, I wasn't afraid at all.

When it was his turn to film his scenes, he quickly got into character.

Zhang Ze lay on the ground covered in blood.

In the dark room, there was only him and another actress, Meng Xia, who played Xin Tian.

Zhang Ze cried out in anguish, "Fight...fight the Japanese devils!"

"Water...water"

Xintian nervously hugged him, covered his mouth, and whispered, "Don't shout, don't shout!"

"I can't get out, I really can't get out!"

Zhang Ze shook his head with difficulty, wanting to speak again.

Xintian forcefully covered his mouth, her eyes brimming with tears and deep worry.

Zhang Ze pretended to be dying, and Xin Tian shouted in hatred, "Damn Japanese devils!"

He ran to a crack in the rocks and peeked out at the hordes of Japanese soldiers outside.

With no other option, she solemnly embraced Zhang Ze, unbuttoned his clothes, and used her breast milk to save the wounded Eighth Route Army soldier.

Finally, Xintian hugged Zhang Ze tightly.

This scene was very difficult to film.

Admirable! Admirable!

The former was a heroic Red Army veteran who sacrificed her life for the revolution, and the latter was an actress.

Zhang Ze was deeply shocked!

After filming the scene, director Guan Hu happily called Zhang Ze to his side and said a lot of encouraging words.

Zhang Ze's scenes will take about eight days to film.

He then filmed several more scenes.

It has to be said that he really has a talent for acting.

You can completely empathize with the characters.

Congratulations everyone on Zhang Ze's wrap-up filming!

In just eight days, Zhang Ze won the recognition of the director and many actors with his acting skills.

After he finished filming, the director and the cast gave him a sincere round of applause.

The director specially kept him for a day, saying that he would have a wrap dinner with another actor who was also finishing filming the next day to send him off.

Zhang Ze certainly wouldn't refuse the director's kindness.

Zhang Ze, who didn't leave the next day, worked as an extra on set for a day, participating in the filming of one of the more representative scenes in the drama.

It was the Red Army's "Sisters-in-Law" who, in the icy river, used their shoulders to build a wooden bridge to cover a regiment of Eighth Route Army soldiers as they crossed.

The women stayed in the river for more than an hour in the dead of winter, the icy water biting cold.

This resulted in many of the "Red Sisters" being unable to conceive for life due to catching a cold.

The youngest of them is only 14 years old.

Although it is September now, the weather in Shandong Province is still quite hot.

However, because the plot takes place at dawn, the crew couldn't film the scene at noon.

Filming can only begin in the morning.

The river water was icy cold.

Dozens of extras, along with several actresses playing main roles, braved the icy river water and soaked in it for an hour.

Watching them use their frail shoulders to carry the planks, squatting in the river and gritting their teeth as they persevered.

Dozens of extras ran across the wooden plank.

Zhang Ze couldn't imagine how 32 women had carried a sliver of hope on their shoulders, enabling thousands of soldiers and equipment from the entire regiment to cross that bridge.

What kind of faith could make them persevere?

That evening, the director and the lead actors hosted a wrap party for him and another lead actor at a restaurant in town.

Zhang Ze drank a lot and exchanged contact information with many of the actors.

This was the first wrap party of his acting career.

He will remember this for the rest of his life!

When Zhang Ze left Yinan County, he took 5600 yuan with him.

This is his payment for the past eight days.

He did not return directly to the capital.

Moreover, he returned to his hometown of Liaocheng.

I've been away from home for more than half a year, working in Beijing, and haven't had a chance to go home.

So I took this opportunity to go home and visit my parents.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

Zhang Ze had never told his parents about his resignation to film in Beijing.

Adhering to the principle of only reporting good news and not bad, he planned to tell his parents when he had made a name for himself.

They are all farmers' parents and have no idea about filmmaking.

They must think that their son doesn't have the talent to act, and that acting is a waste of his time.

That's true, where do kids in rural areas have the opportunity to experience art?

Growing up, we played in the mud and climbed trees to steal bird eggs. Unlike city kids, who learn dance, piano, guzheng, and the like from a young age.

If Zhang Ze hadn't been fortunate enough to accidentally come into contact with the extras,

He might never come into contact with art in his entire life! He might never know that he has a talent for performing.

There are many hidden talents among ordinary people; the vast rural population should not be underestimated.

It's not that they lack talent, it's just that their living environment doesn't allow them to access or develop their talents.

Those who are gifted are God's favorites!

Zhang Ze will never again complain about the unfairness of fate for those geniuses who didn't study but excelled in their studies back in school!
