Entertainment News: This Best Actor's acting range is so narrow it's enviable.
Chapter 5: Abusing the Sister-in-Law is Because of Love for the Brother
Li Wenyan gave Jiang Feng two days to familiarize himself with the character Xueying before filming his scenes.
Xueying was originally just a supporting character with not much screen time.
These past two days, Jiang Feng has been studying the script and the character biography Zhang Jin gave him, gaining a deeper understanding of the character Xue Ying.
Xueying is a disciple of Xiaoyao Hou and the younger brother of Lingjiu.
Throughout the entire series, he basically only does one thing: repeatedly steal the Deer-Cutting Knife and Shen Bijun, and becomes Xiao Shiyilang's enemy.
Jiang Feng also discovered something very interesting: Xue Ying was the man who had the most physical contact with the female lead, Shen Bijun, besides Xiao Shiyi Lang and Lian Cheng Bi.
Because every time he kidnapped Shen Bijun, he would hold her in his arms to prevent her from escaping.
To be precise, he had even more intimate contact with Shen Bijun than Lian Chengbi, who barely touched his wife.
Xueying is all about action scenes. From his first appearance to his death, he's basically fighting from beginning to end, which places high demands on the actors. No wonder they initially wanted Zhang Jin to play the role.
Although it was just a minor supporting role, it was Jiang Feng's first role, and he had to take it seriously.
After a thorough analysis of the character, Jiang Feng's view of Xue Ying also changed.
At first, he thought Xueying was just a pure villain, a beastly abuser who tormented his sister-in-law, a bad guy to the core.
As he gained a deeper understanding of the character, he gradually discovered that Xueying was also a very pitiful person.
When Xueying was young, a fortune teller told his fortune, saying that he would be separated from his family, bring misfortune to his father, mother, wife, and children, and be like a drifting catkin in the wind or a floating duckweed on the water, destined to be lonely and wandering all his life.
In short, he was destined to be a lone star, he had the script of Hua Yingxiong, but he didn't have Hua Yingxiong's protagonist halo.
Therefore, he lacked a sense of security from a young age and was afraid of being abandoned.
Xueying only has his older brother Lingjiu as family. He has relied on his brother since childhood, and his brother is everything to him. Over time, he has developed a very strong dependence on his brother.
He defiled his sister-in-law Lian Chengjin not because he was lustful, but because he was afraid that his brother would be taken away by Lian Chengjin and abandoned.
That's why he did something so beastly, so that when his brother and Lian Chengjin are together, he will think of him and will never be able to get rid of him.
Hmm... Thinking about it that way, it seems even more perverted.
He abused his sister-in-law because he loved his brother; Xueying was probably playing the role of the girl, wasn't he?
Jiang Feng admired the screenwriter's imagination from the bottom of his heart.
Besides researching the character, Jiang Feng was also busy.
Sometimes he would go to the film set to observe other actors' performances and try to get some freebies.
For example, he learned a lot about acting skills from Yu Zhen, the actor who played Xiaoyao Hou, and Zheng Yuzhi, the veteran actress who played Shen Taijun.
In addition, he also needs to receive action training from martial arts instructor Xu Shuangniu.
Xu Shuangniu is a famous martial arts choreographer in Hong Kong. His younger brother, Xu Xiaoming, is even more famous, having directed classic Hong Kong dramas such as "The Legendary Fok Yuan-gap" and "Chen Zhen".
Jiang Feng got 50 points of martial arts and 80 points of martial arts instruction from him.
With these skills as a foundation, Jiang Feng learned those martial arts moves very quickly, almost effortlessly.
Even Xu Shuangniu was impressed by him and even considered taking him on as a disciple, asking him if he was interested in becoming a martial arts instructor.
Jiang Feng politely declined; it would be a waste of his talent to have his face used as a martial arts instructor.
Two days later, it was finally Jiang Feng's turn to have his scenes.
Jiang Feng met the actor who was acting opposite him.
Besides Zhang Jin, there's also Yu Zhen, the actor who plays Xiaoyao Hou, with his long face, and Li Qian, who plays the young master.
Li Qian is younger than Jiang Feng, only 17 years old, but she has already acted in two dramas, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Li Wei the Magistrate".
Her personality is cheerful and lively, like a tomboy, making her perfect for playing a young lady disguised as a man.
Because Jiang Feng was the closest in age to her in the crew, Li Qian and Jiang Feng became close friends and quickly became inseparable.
Despite her young age, Li Qian's acting skills are quite impressive. She has a clever and quick wit when she acts, somewhat reminiscent of Zhou Xun.
Jiang Feng actually managed to extract 80 points of acting skills from her, more than he had from Wu Qilong and Zhu Yin.
Jiang Feng was stunned. Could it be that Li Qian's acting skills were better than those of the two leading actors, Wu Qilong and Zhu Yin?
Of course, it's also possible that he got more because he was closer to Li Qian.
Scene 168, three shots, one take.
"Action!"
Li Wenyan, holding the director's microphone, gave the order, and the script supervisor clapped the clapperboard.
The wire harness operator pulled Jiang Feng, Zhang Jin, and Wu Qilong into the air.
Even with Xueying and Lingjiu fighting two against one, they were still no match for Xiao Shiyilang and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
At the critical moment, a young man dressed as a boy appeared and rescued them.
"Okay, cut. Actors, don't remove your makeup. Let's do one more take."
Filming is a simple and tedious process, especially action scenes. Actors don't experience much fun in acting; they're either flying around or fighting all day long. The only feeling they have is that it's exhausting.
After half a day, Jiang Feng's waist was chafed raw.
After filming the morning's scenes, the actors ate lunch on set.
When Jiang Feng was collecting his lunchbox, he ran into the group leader and the other extras he knew before.
They also heard the news that Jiang Feng was playing Xue Ying.
"I told you you would make something of yourself, and look, it's come true so quickly."
"Brother Feng, don't forget your poor brothers when you become rich!"
"If you find a suitable role, think of your brothers."
The extras fawned over Jiang Feng; for them, being able to play a supporting role was a huge achievement.
Jiang Feng did not look down on them because of his changed status. He had also worked his way up from being an extra. Looking down on them was looking down on his former self.
During the meal, Jiang Feng and Li Qian sat next to each other. Li Qian didn't eat fatty meat, so she picked out all the fatty meat and put it in Jiang Feng's bowl.
Jiang Feng accepted all comers; in these mountains, having meat to eat was already a blessing, so why would he be picky?
"I advise you to eat some meat. You're at a crucial stage of growth, and being picky about food can hinder your development."
Li Qian glanced down at her figure and blushed.
Even food can't shut you up.
After finishing her meal, Li Qian took out a portable music player and a pair of earphones and started listening to music, humming along softly as she listened.
"What song are you listening to? I'd like to listen to some too."
"Give."
Li Qian handed the left earphone to Jiang Feng, and the two of them put on the left earphone and the right earphone respectively, and listened to music together.
"Looking forward to a stroke of luck and a shock / What a wonderful encounter / Climbing over the mountaintops and layers of white clouds / Where is the green light...?"
Not long ago, Sun Yanzi released her third album, "Kite," and the most popular song on the album is "Green Light."
"You bought the newly released album so quickly?"
Just as Jiang Feng was wondering, the next song started playing.
"The gentle starry sky / Should move you / I'm behind you / Creating a sky for you..."
This is the theme song "Meteor Rain" from the popular idol drama "Meteor Garden" this year.
"Damn, it's a pirated copy."
