Chapter 52 Xu Er's new mission: to guide Liu Tianxian's performance
Regarding the selection of actors for the production crew,

Xu Er didn't ask much about it.

Looking at the curious Liu Qianqian in front of me,

Xu Er smiled politely.

I shook Liu Xixi's delicate little hand.

It can be considered as a greeting.

After playing the role of Little Dragon Girl in The Return of the Condor Heroes,

This young actress is already very popular in the country.

Maybe she's not the perfect candidate.
However, it is understandable that Zhang Yimou chose her.

After all, there are popular female stars in the film.
Not only can it increase publicity,

It can also be considered a box office guarantee!

And Liu Qianqian previously played

They are also characters in martial arts dramas.

There will inevitably be martial arts scenes in "Blade Dancer".

To some extent,
It's also a martial arts film.

The audience wouldn't find it too awkward for her to be the female lead.

In addition, Irelia is also a dancer.

This means,

Actresses must have a good dancing foundation.

In the film,

The elegant fighting style of Knife Girl,

A perfect performance!
Liu Qianqian can also satisfy this point.
After all, she is an orthodox actress who graduated from Beijing Film Academy.
And I started to be an actor since I was a child.

I also have a dance background.

……

In the following days,
Xu Er became even busier.

His position on the set,

Even though he's just an assistant director!
But as a new director,
Xu Er has a lot to learn!
Occasionally Zhang Yimou would let him play.
Go shoot all the unimportant clips to practice.

And out of the studio,
Xu Er also has to work overtime to produce the follow-up plot of "The Battle of Two Cities".

but,

Just when he was about to finish the next part of the plot!
Zhang Yimou gave Xu Er a new task!
……

"Let me guide her performance?"

After hearing Zhang Yimou's request,
Xu Er looked at Liu Qianqian who was pouting in front of him.

Very puzzled, he asked:
"Director Zhang, I haven't studied acting either!"

Zhang Yimou was also helpless about this.

"You can't say you're directing a performance!"

"Just find a way to help her understand the character of Irelia more deeply!"

In fact, Zhang Yimou's choice of casting

Already very satisfied.

But at that time, Liu Qianqian might be too young and had little experience.

I can't always perform.

The kind of Irelia charm that he wanted to capture!

The character of Irelia,

It’s completely different from the female roles Liu Qianqian had played in previous martial arts dramas!

Characters like Zhao Linger and Xiao Longnu,

Liu Xixi can act cute and adorable.

Or maybe he is just inexperienced and very naive.

But the character of Irelia is different!

She is much more complicated!

And in the film,

Irelia's experience
There are also several very significant waves of transformation.

For example, after the invasion of Noxus,

After Irelia returned to her hometown,
There are so many different levels of sadness.

When I saw my family's graves,
When I saw the family crest broken,
Then she waved the blade formed by the family crest fragments,
Break out of the enemy's encirclement.

For example, when the Ionian rebels were ambushed by Swain,

Irelia decided to step forward.

Until she cut off Swain's arm,

When he led the Ionians to victory in the war.

……

There are many more.

All of these need to be performed by Liu Qianqian!

So for her,

It’s too difficult!
After all, the roles she played before,

They are all just pure and cute types.

A complex character like Irelia,

It was indeed a problem she had never encountered before! In fact, before she joined the group,

A lot of preparations have been made.
Like the film "Blade Dancer" produced by Xu Er,
Liu Qianqian doesn't know how many times she has watched it.
I have reached the point where I can memorize the plot!

Unfortunately, Zhang Yimou was still not satisfied with her performance!

Some shots even took a whole day to click!
At the end,
Zhang Yimou came up with this un-solution!

Although Xu Er doesn't know how to perform,
But he wrote the script!
To talk about my understanding of Irelia,

Even Zhang Yimou can't compare to him!

"Xu Er! I'll leave Liu Qianqian to you!"

"You must teach her to the church!"

After Zhang Yimou brought Liu Qianqian over,
After saying a few words, he was about to leave!

The crew had a very tight schedule.

Liu Xixi can't take this photo.
He had to finish filming the other scenes quickly.

Now Zhang Yimou can only try his best to save the situation.
I hope Xu Er can teach Liu Xixi.

……

Looking at the pretty little beauty in front of me,

Xu Er was somewhat helpless.

He hasn't read "An Actor's Self-cultivation"
What good solution is there?

"I don't really understand the techniques used by you actors."

"Anyway, Director Zhang's intention is to strengthen your understanding of the role, right?"

Liu Qianxi nodded.

What they think is,

This allowed Liu Xixi to have a deeper understanding of the character of Irelia.

Maybe the performance will be more natural and realistic.

Xu Er thought about it,

So he took Liu Qianqian back to the room.

But don't get me wrong,

Xu Er thought,
Take her to watch the movie "Blade Dancer" again.

In this way, the two of them watched the film and explained it at the same time.
It also makes it easier for Liu Qianqian to understand the role.

In order to avoid any possible embarrassment between the two,

Xu Er also specially called Su Feifei over.

However, it turns out that
He thinks too much,

Liu Tianxian was more talkative than he had imagined.

“Is this your equipment?”

“Is that how you made the film?”

"How do you come up with these stories?"

"The Battle of Two Cities is so exciting! Are you ready for the rest of the story?"

Looking at Liu Qianqian in the room, like a curious kitten,
Xu Er was speechless.

He was indeed worried too early.

How could it be embarrassing?

This is just a chatterbox!
"OK OK!"

"Come and get down to business!"

Xu Er opened the video.

Three people each sat on a small stool in front of the computer.

"If you have any questions, just ask me!"

Xu Er also gave a reminder.

However, after the video is played,
"Woo woo woo, why did you write that all of Irelia's family members were killed?"

"Wow, it's not easy for Irelia."

"Woooooooo..."

Liu Qianqian kept wiping her tears with her little hands.

Su Feifei handed her a box of tissues.

"I can't help it. It's too sad to cry here."

Seeing Xu Er's face full of speechlessness,
Liu Qianqian also felt a little embarrassed.

"Who asked you to take such a beautiful and touching photo?"

Xu Er took a deep breath.

Are you blaming me for the relationship?
"It's okay, let's watch it again!"

……

In the following days,
Xu Er then had an additional task of explaining the role to Liu Xixi.

After Liu Qianqian finished filming,
Just come over to chat with Xuer.

The two also exchanged contact information.

For this pair of handsome men and beautiful women who often appear in the eyes of the public,
There is already gossip spreading among the crew.

For these things,
Of course Zhang Yimou saw it.

However, for the crew director,
None of this matters!!

Because of Liu Xixi's acting skills,

It has indeed improved!
