Chapter 1556 Domineering (1)
But since this time, Xia Siyu seems to have opened up her Ren and Du meridians.
I'm not talking about her acting, but about her relationship with Bo Yan.
She joined the crew earlier than Bo Yan, and Wang Ju visited her in "Sunrise". Seeing her calm and graceful appearance during filming, she looked like a lady from a noble family, so he asked her to play in the ancient costume drama "The Falling Beauty".
In the past, Xia Siyu was considered vulgar, superficial, and ostentatious. Even when she was filming "The Storm", she was very sexy and straightforward.
But in "Sunrise", people can see that under her calm appearance, there may be undercurrents, so he asked Xia Siyu to film in ancient costume.
Moreover, this time in "The Falling Beauty", she is still the heroine, and also the biggest villain.
Unlike the female villain who still has a conscience in the drug lord's den in Director Ji's modern drama, Xia Siyu this time is completely bad. She is the root of all sins and the embodiment of all beauty.
The so-called "The Beauty of the Country" seems to be good-looking, beautiful enough to overwhelm a country or a city. In fact, from the literal meaning, "The Beauty of the Country" means to destroy a family and a country.
And unlike the traditional image that many people feel is weak in front of people and vicious behind people, Xia Siyu wears a mask in front of people, and is ruthless before raising her hand, killing people like flies. But when she was seriously injured and met the male protagonist, she had to pretend to be a lady because of the injury and avoiding assassination, but she was weak. The male protagonist is passionate and cool, and he is also the pioneer of the anti-her camp, and he is also avoiding her arrest documents. The two got along while concealing their identities, and they fell in love unknowingly. Then there was the conflict when they met at the end.
To be honest, it is still a commercial film. This and the Republic of China drama shot by Shang Feier before, the script was handed over at about the same time. It's just that the other one is obviously a work of art, aiming for awards. And this is an ordinary commercial film. Of course, it's not bad, but now, Wang Ju no longer needs to affirm himself through box office, what he wants more is the award.
But there is no way, that movie has been asked to shoot Shang Feier, and he has also carefully produced it. At present, this is the only script that has been polished well. Anyway, there is still a chance for cooperation in the future, so let's shoot it first.
Xia Siyu took this script. Although she joined the crew very quickly, Wang Ju still hoped that she could practice first. In other words, she can shoot the part of "pretending to be weak" that she is familiar with first, and the part of being domineering in the court when doing conspiracies and intrigues can be saved until she has practiced it.
It's not that Xia Siyu is not domineering. She is usually fierce. If she says she wants to hit someone, she will really hit someone. There is no ambiguity at all. Wang Ju means that ordinary domineering and domineering are different. Her identity in front of people is a powerful bad guy who is behind the scenes and above everyone else. She must have thunderous domineering, and a look can decide people's life and death.
As for "pretending to be weak", she has played the pure little white flower for seven years before, and she has long been familiar with it. Adding a little gracefulness of a lady, it is not a problem at all.
So Xia Siyu filmed during the day, and went to a teacher at night to learn how to act "dominant". And she couldn't act the kind of domineering aura of a king, but had to act the kind of tyrant and vicious. But how to practice domineering? Kill you with your eyes?
She thought about it for a long time, and finally found her former opera singer.
If you want to improve your acting skills quickly in a period of time, the most convenient way besides drama is to sing opera.
In opera, there are people who specialize in this, such as "Farewell My Concubine", and if you sing a good king, you can sing for decades.
Xia Siyu's teacher also gladly accepted her, and then asked her to get up early tomorrow morning to watch the birds flying around.
Xia Siyu was speechless. Although the teachers' guidance methods are different, what kind of method is watching birds? The teacher also said: "You stand still and follow with your eyes."
Xia Siyu had to get up every morning to watch the birds. Fortunately, the hotel is located in a resort with a forest behind it. There are really birds flying when she gets up early, otherwise she would have to trouble Wei Jingjing to buy her a bird.
In the morning, Wei Jingjing was afraid that she would stay in bed, so she asked her to get up to film. Seeing her standing motionless by the window, she was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Siyu stood still: "I'm looking at a bird."
"..." Wei Jingjing, "Why are you cursing so early in the morning?"
Xia Siyu said again: "No, I'm actually practicing my acting skills."
Wei Jingjing also looked out the window side by side with her: "What's there to practice?"
Xia Siyu tilted her head and thought for a while: "Probably, kill you with my eyes?"
"..."This kid is hopeless!
Just because of overuse of eyes in the morning, the acting state today is not very good. Wang Ju was still very surprised: "Are you very tired recently? Why are you listless?"
If it wasn't the scene where she was injured, her listless eyes would easily make people think of a blind person.
In the evening, she went to see the teacher again. Xia Siyu happily showed the teacher the results of her eye use. Just as she glared at him, the teacher smiled: "You don't need to look hard. Just be natural, and don't need to admire it. Just follow its flight path. Especially don't use your eyes too much."
"Why?" Xia Siyu was a little confused. She understood that the teacher meant that she was second to none, so other people were like ants in her eyes, just like people looking at birds, without fear or sympathy, but only thinking about whether to steam or braise (?).
The teacher just smiled: "Have you ever seen a tyrant who always shows that he wants to kill you? When the emperor is angry, blood will flow. But most of the time, he is calm and composed. You have seen tigers, not the ones in the zoo, but in the animal world. Most of the time, he is lazy, but at the moment of hunting, he shines with golden light. This is what you need to learn."
Xia Siyu got up early again and practiced her eyes on the birds. It's hard to say what the other effects were this time, but when filming during the day, Wang Ju praised her: "It seems that you had a good rest last night and you are in good spirits."
After practicing for a few days in a row, she didn't feel anything else, but she got up earlier than usual to practice her eyes, so she ate a little more breakfast. Fortunately, it's okay to eat more breakfast, except for fried food, she doesn't restrict her from eating carbohydrates.
Until there was a scene where she needed to pretend to be weak in front of the male lead, but occasionally when she heard something, her eyes immediately became sharp. But when she saw the male lead appear, her eyes softened immediately.
Xia Siyu acted very well in this moment of eye change. Wang Ju couldn't help but praise: "This look is very good."
