Chapter 503

However, because Xia Liang memorized the lines after reading them once, Ling Xiang found Xia Liang asleep on her bed after going upstairs.

"It seems that I thought too much, nothing will happen..."

For some reason, Ling Xiang felt a little disappointed when she found Xia Liang asleep.

...

The next day, Xia Liang and Ling Xiang arrived at the set on time.

Today's scenes were all Xia Liang's, not Yifei and Wenbin's.

But they still came.

Because Yifei and Wenbin were very curious about the acting skills of the actors praised by the great director Cao Yi.

The first few scenes were all on the street. The architectural style of this studio in Hengdian was that of the Republic of China. A group of extras were found to play passers-by A, B, C, D, and E. After all the actors put on makeup and changed their clothes, the filming began.

The first scene was about the first appearance of the male protagonist Xia Liang played by Xia Liang after returning from studying abroad. There were some magic scenes in this scene.

Before the filming started, Cao Yi asked Xia Liang how to perform the magic in the movie, whether props or post-editing were needed.

Xia Liang said at the time that he wanted to perform all the magic himself, including providing the mechanisms, and he could guarantee that he could perform the magic in the script.

Cao Yi was naturally very confident in Xia Liang's magic. Since Xia Liang could handle the magic by himself without anyone else worrying about it, Cao Yi was naturally happy.

"Is the camera in place?"

"Yes!"

"What about the extras?"

"Also ready!"

"Everything is OK, right? Xia Liang, are all your magic props ready?"

"Yes, it's ready."

"OK... action!"

...

The story begins in Ming Dynasty. Xia Liang, who was wearing makeup, walked slowly on the street with his magic box.

At the director's signal, the camera gave a close-up of his face.

Walking along, when passing by the entrance of "Wangfeng Building", Xia Liang saw many people watching Mr. Chen of Wangfeng Building perform the trick of "Eight Immortals Taking Fruits". He said that whoever could reproduce his trick would be rewarded with gold.

I saw Mr. Chen took a golden basin and put a few walnuts in it, covered it with a lid and shook it a few times, then opened the lid, and the walnuts disappeared.

The people around him clapped their hands and cheered.

Then Mr. Chen closed the lid and shook the golden basin, and when he opened it again, the walnuts appeared again.

"Good! It's amazing!"

The people around shouted.

"How about it? Who can reproduce my trick?"

The boss said proudly.

At this time, Xia Liang raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"Can I try it?"

"Come on!"

Mr. Chen smiled and greeted.

"Let us all see what this brother can do!"

Xia Liang walked over, took off his hat, put down the box in his hand, picked up the golden basin, and put in the walnuts.

He also followed the boss's method, closed the lid and shook the golden basin a few times.

A miracle happened, the golden basin made a sound of water, and several drops of water spilled out.

"This... there is water in the basin! What's going on?"

A bystander exclaimed.

Xia Liang looked at the audience, and then made a gesture of splashing water.

The bystander was frightened and dodged.

However, no water was splashed out of the basin, but a pigeon flew out. The script said that the pigeon would poop on Boss Chen's forehead. Although Xia Liang could do it, this kind of thing is best done with special effects in the later stage.

Although there is no shit, the actors have to act as if there is shit.

The actor who plays Boss Chen is also an old actor. He touched his forehead with a confused look on his face, and then looked at his hand.

"This... this... bird shit?"

Xia Liang smiled apologetically,

"Sorry, this pigeon is too naughty."

The people around laughed when they heard what Xia Liang said.

At this time, someone shouted.

"Boss! People broke your trick, shouldn't you pay? I promised to give you gold!"

"This..."

Obviously, Boss Chen was not willing to pay.

He originally thought that no one could restore his trick, but he failed to show off and was slapped in the face by Xia Liang.

At this time, a clever clerk said loudly.

"He has changed the walnut away and has not changed it back! Therefore, the trick is not completed!"

Boss Chen quickly followed up when he heard it,

"That's it! You should be reasonable! The walnut hasn't changed back yet!"

The onlookers saw that Boss Chen wanted to default on his debt, and they all laughed.

But Boss Chen was also thick-skinned. He insisted that Xia Liang change the walnut back even though everyone laughed.

"Little brother! Change the walnut back for him to see! Make him convinced!"

"Everyone, don't worry..."

Xia Liang smiled and said.

"The walnut is on Boss Chen."

As he said, Xia Liang stretched out his hand and touched Boss Chen's body...

A walnut suddenly appeared in his hand.

Then Xia Liang stretched out his hand again, and another walnut appeared in his hand.

When Xia Liang wanted to grab another walnut, Boss Chen hurriedly stopped him... After all, it didn't feel good to be touched by a big man.

"Okay, this brother doesn't need to change... I'm convinced..."

As he said, Boss Chen reluctantly picked up a plate of gold on the table and handed it to Xia Liang.

Xia Liang smiled and said.

"No need for gold."

When Boss Chen heard this, he said quickly.

"Then why are you so embarrassed?"

But after saying this, he put the money back on the table at the same time, obviously he still didn't want to give it.

"Brother, I don't know what your surname is, where did you learn from?"

Boss Chen asked Xia Liang, hugging his fist.

Xia Liang said with a fist in return towards Boss Chen.

"I'm in Xiachenke. I don't have a master. I just teach myself for fun."

After hearing Xia Liang's extremely pretentious words, everyone clapped and applauded.

…

"Stuck! This one passed!"

Cao Yi smiled.

"Xia Liang, you really did a great job! It's rare that you can pass the movie without making any mistakes for the first time! Your magic is also very exciting! I didn't expect that I just showed you the script. , you can really perform the magic I want! It’s amazing!”

Xia Liang's performance just now was natural, as if he really was Xia Liang.

Calm and elegant, confident and generous.

The most important thing is that Xia Liang's stance is also very good.

There are very few actors who can grasp the position of the camera and then face the camera at the best angle right from the beginning. Many new actors often fail to grasp the position of the camera when they perform for the first time, and things like blocking the camera happen from time to time. .

He is simply a born actor.

"It's such a waste of film to film with you."

Cao Yi smiled and said, "There is no need to be NG."

At this time, Wen Bin and Yifei also came over.

"Master Xia, your performance is really good! You can't tell that you are a new actor at all! You are simply an experienced actor who has been acting for many years!"

Wen Bin praised.

"That's a compliment."

Xia Liang said modestly.

"I'm telling the truth, Yifei, don't you think so?"

Yifei heard Wen Bin's question and echoed with a smile.

"Xia...Master's acting skills are indeed good...much better than mine."

"What you said makes me dizzy..."

Xia Liang waved his hand.

After some polite exchanges, Wen Bin and Yifei left.

Originally, the two of them had no scenes today, so they came here just to see Xia Liang's performance. Now that I’ve seen it, I’ve been amazed and amazed, and it’s time to go back home.

On the set, due to Xia Liang's outstanding acting skills, except for a few mistakes by supporting actors and extras, everything else was basically a one-off. So Xia Liang's filming for today's scene was all over by noon.

"Brother Xia, everyone is really happy filming your scene. You can take a half-day break early."

Lighting engineer Xiao Liu smiled.

"Isn't it? This is the first time I've seen an actor like Brother Hao who makes no mistakes or is ungrateful."

"I'm embarrassed by what you said."

Xia Liang smiled.

"But we are telling the truth."

"Haha, okay. Then I'll accept it. It's noon, so I'll treat you all to a good meal."

"Okay, okay!"

"Director, come too!"

Xia Liang turned around and looked at Cao Yi, who was watching the video he just shot.

"Well, okay, let's go together."

Cao Yi nodded and turned off the computer.

"There's nothing particularly delicious in the film and television base. Let's go out to eat. Since we have a treat, we can't be careless. Let's invite Wen Bin and Yifei."

Xia Liang said.

"It's all up to you."

Cao Yi said with a smile.

Xia Liang's performance today was really outstanding. Cao Yi was very fond of him. Besides, Xia Liang's identity was there.

Today's filming went really smoothly and saved a lot of things, so Cao Yi always had a smile on his face.

"I'm going to change clothes first."

Xia Liang was still wearing her acting gown, so she would definitely need to change clothes if she wanted to go out.

However, there were some minor problems when changing clothes. When Lingxiang helped Xia Liang get clothes, she accidentally damaged the clothes and made them dirty, so Xia Liang had to put on some clean clothes prepared by the crew.

After everyone arrived, everyone got on the crew's bus and went to a famous mountain villa near the film and television base.

"Wow...Brother Xia, why don't you take us to such a nice place to eat?"

Prop master Xiao Zhang said in surprise.

Not only Xiao Zhang, but others including Cao Yi were also surprised. This place is extremely expensive, not even the rich can afford it. It is normal to eat a few cents in a meal.

After we were seated, the waiter came up with a menu.

"Hello everyone, what do you need to eat?"

When the waiter said this, he kept staring at Cao Yi, Wen Bin and Yifei.

It's not because these three people are famous that the waiter was curious.

Because the people who come here to eat are either rich or noble, the waiters have long been accustomed to it.

The reason why she stares at the three people is also very simple. After all, the person who is treating the guests is ordering!

A place like this is so expensive, so why don’t eating here have to be an AA standard? There has to be someone to treat, so this person must be one of the three celebrities, Cao Yi, Wenbin and Yifei.

After all, most people can't afford to eat here, let alone treat them.

"Give me the menu."

Xia Liang said with a smile.

The waiter was stunned when she noticed Xia Liang, because although Xia Liang's clothes were clean, they looked cheap at first glance. The waiter really didn't think Xia Liang had the ability to treat guests. She felt that Xia Liang was just a staff member.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Liang said strangely.

"Sorry, I got distracted."

Although he was confused, he still had to be polite. The waiter smiled and handed the menu to Xia Liang.

After a cursory look, Xia Liang felt that there were too many things to eat, and it would be very troublesome to order them one by one, so he said.

"Place all the signature dishes on the first two pages of the menu. For small portions, such as truffles and fish roe, serve them according to the number of people."

"all?"

"Yes."

The waiter hesitated for a while, wondering why Xia Liang, a staff member, was so good at talking without asking other people's opinions.

Out of "good intentions", the waiter looked at Cao Yi, Wenbin and Yifei and said,

"The signature dishes on the first two pages are the most expensive. They cost almost four yuan in total..."

Because the waiter still thinks it will be these three people who pay.

"Oh, it's so expensive, Master Xia, you are so generous!"

Cao Yi smiled.

"This is the first time I invite you to dinner. I must give you the best meal! Waiter, just place the order as I just said... Also, open two more bottles of Romanée-Conti and a bottle of 1982 Lafite..."

The waiter was stunned when he heard this.

This is the first time she has made a mistake after working here for so long!

"Anyone else want anything to drink?"

Xia Liang asked.

"No, no, Master Xia, you have already served such expensive wine, why should we drink anything else?"

"Yes, yes, nothing else is needed."

Just when most people refused, Lingxiang said.

"I don't want to drink, I want to drink Coke."

"Uh... OK. Waiter, get another bottle of Coke."

Xia Liang said.

"Okay...ok."

The waiter calmed himself down and asked, "Do you want anything else?"

"No need, serve as soon as possible."

"no problem!"

Because Lingxiang ordered a Coke just now, everyone else was staring at Lingxiang with funny eyes.

If you don't drink a few cents worth of red wine, but you drink Coke...you are too inexperienced and ignorant.

Feeling the weird looks in everyone's eyes, Lingxiang pouted and said,

"Why are you looking at me like this! I'm not ignorant. I know those wines are very expensive! But I never drink. I don't think wine tastes good at all. It's a waste to give it to me!"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Lingxiang's appearance, everyone laughed.

"It's good to be young."

Cao Yi smiled and said,

"Unlike us, people who have been in society for a long time will inevitably equate the quality of something with its value. Coke is indeed very delicious, fragrant and tasteful."

"Oh, director, you are laughing at me!"

Lingxiang said while stamping her feet.

"Hahaha, don't dare."

In fact, Lingxiang's idea is right.

For a person who doesn't like drinking and doesn't know how to drink, what's the difference between expensive wine and Coke? It's just a drink.

After everyone chatted for a while, the dishes were served.

Black truffle, caviar, foie gras...

Abalone, shark fin, Kobe beef...
