The Queen's Rumored Father

It's not that Xu Yuan loves money; he's long since become indifferent to it.

The key issue is that he's currently using his daughter's money every day.

How so?

She hasn't even gone through menopause yet, and she's already being supported by her daughter?

Fathers naturally have the dignity of being fathers!

Xu Yuan would never be a kept man, let alone his daughter!

……

For the next three days, everyone began discussing the script. Perhaps because there weren't any particularly big stars, the crew was surprisingly harmonious. And since everyone had a significant amount of screen time, and none of the roles were one-sided, every actor was satisfied and diligently studied the script and their characters.

Lei Jiayin deserves special praise.

As the male lead, his screen time was significantly reduced in the later stages, but he had no complaints. On the contrary, it was precisely this kind of script that moved him. Only supporting characters with soul can highlight the soulful protagonist.

Lei Jiayin has always had a lot of soul, but he lacks a few excellent supporting actors.

In the drama "Chang'an", Lei Jiayin's only worry now is whether Xu Yuan can maintain the level of performance he showed at the audition that day.

If possible, then Lei Jiayin, who has the biggest conflict with the character Long Bo, will be the biggest beneficiary.

Three days later, filming officially began!

Because of the location requirements, filming is mostly done in the order of the locations, rather than the order of the plot.

On the first day, there was a scene involving Xu Yuan.

"Teacher Li, could you come here for a moment?"

Before filming, Xu Yuan called Li Yuan into a small room.

"You don't need to be so polite, just call me by my name. Otherwise, I should call you Teacher Xu too." Li Yuan was very polite. She had been acting for more than ten years, and the Chang'an crew was the crew with the best internal atmosphere she had ever seen.

"That's how it is." Xu Yuan glanced outside and then stated his plan.

Li Yuan's expression gradually changed. After hesitating for a while, he nodded heavily and agreed to Xu Yuan's request.

When they came out of the house, Li Yuan walked behind, but the way she looked at Xu Yuan was different from before.

There was inquiry, curiosity, and a touch of intoxication.

A serious man is truly handsome!

With costumes, props, and sets ready, Cao Dun, holding a megaphone, announced, "Alright, alright, Changmingfang, Scene 3, Shot 1, begin!"

Boom boom boom!

A knock came at the door.

Yu Chang walked to a secluded house and knocked on the door.

Then, the side door opened, and Yu Chang revealed a smile. This shot was blurred on television, so many viewers didn't notice it, but it actually foreshadowed a later incident.

The smile came from two sources: first, the prospect of seeing Long Bo made Yu Chang smile unconsciously; second, she had stolen the map Zhang Xiaojing was investigating and was there to curry favor with Long Bo.

She was already fantasizing about Longbo praising her after they met.

Longbo opened the door, Yuchang entered, and Longbo closed the door.

After that, Long Bo remained hidden behind the door, never showing his face.

At this point, the actors who were familiar with the script began to exchange ideas.

The actress who plays Wang Yunxiu: "Changed the script? He changed the script for the very first scene?"

The actress who plays Wen Ran: "But why change it like that? Not showing her face? Isn't that a loss?"

The actor playing Cui Qi: "He's very brave, but I don't know how the acting will go."

Lei Jiayin remained silent because he had seen Xu Yuan's rewrites before, and they were brilliant. The same applied here; although Xu Yuan wasn't facing the camera, his positioning was correct and wouldn't affect filming.

Whether the changes are good or not remains to be seen, depending on the results.

Yu Chang turned around and hugged Long Bo from behind, then lay on top of him and said, "Everything went according to your plan... It's been two months since we last met, are you tired... Chang'an is too big, I don't like it..."

She spoke three sentences in a row, each with a distinct structure.

The first sentence is about official business.

The second sentence is about selfishness.

The third sentence describes an ideal or even fantastical living environment.

Each sentence builds to a deeper intimacy, and with just three sentences and a gesture of embracing from behind, Yu Chang's character is firmly established. She is a woman who takes initiative in love, deeply in love with Long Bo.

This scene made Cao Dun exclaim in admiration.

The original script didn't include the scene where Xu Yuan is leaning against the door and Li Yuan is on Xu Yuan's back. But in the final cut, this action accurately portrays the inner world and image of the two characters.

It even laid the groundwork for the conflict that followed.

"You're early!"

Long Bo pushed Yu Chang aside, circled around her, and then faced her instead of backing her. He didn't answer Yu Chang's question, but instead rationally analyzed the situation, his calmness bordering on ruthlessness.

Yu Chang explained, "The person who delivered the map was caught by the government officials in Huaiyuan Ward, and I only managed to snatch this map."

After saying that, she took out the map and prepared to hand it to Long Bo.

Long Bo reached out and moved his hand toward the map, but the plot suddenly changed the next moment.

boom!

Long Bo's hand slipped past the map, moving upwards to grab Yu Chang by the neck. Then, Long Bo slammed Yu Chang against the door with a loud thud.

That pinch and push were clearly for real!

"Great!" Cao Dun couldn't hold back any longer and communicated with Chen Kewen, "The atmosphere here is perfect. This is exactly the kind of real, intense feeling I've been looking for. Xu Yuan understands me!"

Chen Kewen nodded. Both Xu Yuan and Li Yuan are good actors, able to perform so convincingly.

The story continues.

Longbo and Yuchang began rehearsing their lines, asking and answering questions.

But slowly, Chen Kewen's expression changed, because he discovered that Xu Yuan's hand was actually choking Li Yuan's neck!

The conversation lasted quite a while, and Xu Yuan used tremendous force; in just an instant, the veins on Li Yuan's temples and around his neck bulged out.

His veins were prominent, his face was pale, and his voice was weak and feeble.

Li Yuan is dying!

"Old Cao!" Chen Kewen patted Cao Dun on the shoulder.

"Wait a little longer, this is the effect!" Cao Dun's face showed great struggle; this was exactly what he wanted. However, he also knew that it was impossible to get the actors to act like this now.

The original plan for this scene was for Long Bo to pinch Yu Chang's neck, then lower his hand, and the two would exchange lines.

It wasn't because Cao Dun didn't know that constantly choking someone would heighten the emotional impact. It's because nowadays, which actor would willingly let you constantly choke them while filming?

Believe it or not, their agent could expose this on Weibo in a heartbeat, saying that your production crew is abusing the actors?

Then some random so-called medical expert comes along and says that this action can easily lead to suffocation, and is a dangerous action, etc.

Then the production crew is doomed.

Big-name celebrities demand human rights, while minor actors seek attention; both will act recklessly.

So let's just be nice to each other, give it a token gesture, and go through the motions.

But unexpectedly, Xu Yuan actually meant it here!

Moreover, Li Yuan was actually cooperating; she was clearly also in the play.

For some reason, Cao Dun's eyes suddenly reddened as he looked at the small machine.

At this moment, we cannot stop, otherwise Li Yuan's efforts will be in vain!

Cao Dun understands Li Yuan; she wants to make a good film, but not everyone understands!

"That's going too far! How dare he bully a female actress like that! Who does he think he is?!" The actress playing Yao Runeng was furious. Xu Yuan's actions were clearly the kind of underhanded tactics that big-name actors use to bully their co-stars!

When slapping someone, he actually did it, and then told the director that he didn't perform well and asked for a few more takes.

When beating up the other character, deliberately make mistakes; when fighting according to a set pattern, deliberately deviate from the pattern; and actually hit others with a stick.

There are far too many instances of this lack of professional ethics.

What gives Xu Yuan the right?

He's neither a big star nor a main character, so why is he bullying Li Yuan?

The actor who played Yao Runeng was so angry that he almost rushed up to him. He and Li Yuan were from the same agency, and Li Yuan was his senior!

However, Lei Jiayin grabbed him and said, "Keep watching!"
