Because Fang Zhao saw Zaro as a junior and knew Zaro's character, Fang Zhao did not bother with Zaro's attitude that offended people easily.
"Being an actor is really not easy. Reading scripts, memorizing lines, attending training classes, pondering over the role, and pondering over the concept. How tiring!" Zaro grumbled. Most importantly, he felt that he had worked hard, but others wouldn't admit it. He felt very sullen. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to fight for his pride, he would have packed up and left.
Fang Zhao chuckled. "From an artistic point of view, you guys are also changing the world. It's all worth it."
Zaro didn't notice the deeper meaning of "you guys" in Fang Zhao's words. Hearing Fang Zhao say this, Zaro felt rather proud. Changing the world!
Yes, a critic had said that 'Founding Era' had influenced people of the New Era spiritually and spiritually.
"Cough, that's what I should do. Although my acting is very good, I hope to play this role even more deeply! To change even more people on a mental and spiritual level! "
Zaro waited for Fang Zhao to give him some suggestions. Zaro had placed himself in such an important and high-profile position. Fang Zhao should at least give him some suggestions, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be nice!
Fang Zhao didn't know much about the Leizhou chapter, especially the earlier parts. He wasn't familiar with them and hadn't finished reading the script. In the consultant team, he was only in charge of the Yanzhou chapter.
Fang Zhao pondered as he listened attentively to Zaro's upcoming scene and listened to him talk about the role he was going to play.
Actually, those training classes had been effective. At least in terms of understanding the role, Zaro had indeed improved. It was just that Zaro hadn't absorbed much of the professional acting knowledge and practical techniques that the teacher had taught him.
The next scene to be filmed would be a conflict between the character Zaro was playing and his partner. This was a common conflict during the Period of Destruction, but it wasn't easy to act well, at least for Zaro.
Given Zaro's personal experience and his different way of thinking, it was too challenging to act out the effect the director wanted. Even if he could understand the character he was playing and knew the emotional effect the director wanted him to play, he wouldn't be able to act it out. As he acted, he would be drawn into himself and the character would go awry.
That was why Zaro felt that he was acting well and was very engrossed, but in the eyes of others, his character was crumbling.
Zaro was not suited to acting in such a serious historical drama, but since he had come looking for him, Fang Zhao would help think of a way.
After serious consideration, Fang Zhao said, "If you want to perform the effect that the director wants, it is not impossible."
Zaro's screen time had increased in the third season, but overall, his screen time was still light. Therefore, if they couldn't improve Zaro's acting skills, they would have to find another way to save the day.
"If you are just looking at the effects of the shoot, there is a method that might be suitable for you," Fang Zhao said.
Zaro perked up. "What method?"
"You just have to suffer a little," Fang Zhao added.
"… How bitter?"
"That's not really hard. It's a little uncomfortable, but it's only for the duration of the acting."
Zaro seriously pondered for a moment and asked, "Will it hurt my face?"
"I won't."
"Speak!"
…
On the other side, the agent who went to the food court to buy mineral water spent two hours.
Actually, it only took half an hour at most, but Zaro's agent could guess what he was thinking. He didn't leave after leaving the house. He watched Zaro go looking for Fang Zhao before heading over to the food court. But he pretended he didn't know anything. After buying mineral water, he sat in the food court for over an hour.
It was rare for a young master like Zaro to lower his head and beg for help. His agent was worried that a conflict would break out.
Actually, it wasn't that the cast and crew didn't recognize some big-name actors, and they all had ties to the Renault family. For example, the actor who played General Renault had graduated from a military academy and had dealings with the Renault family after becoming famous. He was indeed capable and had been personally selected by Old General Renault.
Because of the Renault family, that actor would also be concerned about Zaro. But because he was the main character, his duties were too heavy, and he was under more pressure than others. He wanted to chat with Zaro, but he couldn't find the time. When he finally had the time, the conversation wasn't effective and Zaro drove the other party away.
Zaro's agent lamented more than once that if Zaro's surname wasn't Renault and he didn't have the protection of the Renault family, he would have been beaten to death.
There were other actors who had ties to the Renault family, but basically none of them could talk to Zaro calmly for more than five minutes.
Zaro's agent knew what those people were thinking.
I'm not your grandfather. Why should I go along with you? I have to consider your emotions at all times! We have our own status and identity!
Who isn't busy in the cast and crew? Who isn't stressed out? Busy as a dog and deeply affected by the character? We can't even find a psychiatrist in time. Who cares about your feelings? How shameless are you? Which member of the Renault family who wields real power isn't more impressive than you? At most, I'll suck up to the thighs of other Renaults! If not for your surname being Renault, I would have smacked you to death!
Among his peers, there seemed to be no one who could tolerate Zaro.
Thus, Zaro's agent was very worried when Zaro went to look for Fang Zhao.
Given Zaro's character, what if he accidentally offended someone?
Given Fang Zhao's martial prowess, he could beat up 10 Zaro without breaking a sweat.
However, he hadn't expected to see Zaro beaming with joy when he returned, as if he had obtained a secret manual and was itching to try it out.
"Something good happened?" Zaro's agent probed.
"I can't say." Zaro had a mysterious look on his face. He wanted to give everyone a surprise.
On the day of filming.
Many of the actors on the Leizhou film crew didn't leave after finishing their scenes. They found a place to watch.
Today, Zaro had a scene. Currently, Leizhou was receiving a lot of attention online. Zaro was in no way inferior to the few main leads and important supporting roles. He was a character who was at the heart of the struggle.
Of course, the actors were also paying attention. They were worried that Zaro would destroy everything once he appeared. If that was the case, all their hard work would have been wasted!
However, Zaro was very spirited today. He seemed full of confidence and wasn't the least bit affected by the pressure online.
"His ability to withstand pressure is really good," someone muttered.
"He must be lacking a brain," another actor said in a low voice.
Today, the Leizhou film crew's director was as gloomy as ever.
"Are you ready?"
"Just a moment... I'm ready!" Zaro stuffed something into his mouth and gestured to the director.
Begin filming!
"Save someone? Who can you save? You will just lose another life!! "
The deafening roar seemed to be mixed with all sorts of emotions. This kind of roar wasn't the kind that Zaro had deliberately faked in the past. The emotions were too intense, too real, and it could practically fool the ears of veteran actors.
After saying his lines, Zaro gasped for air. His facial muscles were twitching, and his eyes were red. Even glistening tears were beginning to well up. That kind of pressure, impatience, and heartache could be felt from 10 meters away!
The director couldn't help but give him a close-up.
Surprise!
Big surprise!
This was the effect that they wanted!
The director's expression turned from gloomy to sunny.
The surrounding actors and crew members were all stupefied. Their jaws were about to drop to the floor.
This is Zaro?
It's really Zaro? His emotions are on point. This isn't a substitute wearing Zaro's mask?
He exploded just like that?
They couldn't understand. How could this idiot suddenly be enlightened? In the past, so many training classes had been ineffective. After not seeing him for a few days, he had suddenly changed?
At this moment, the actor in front of Zaro was also outperforming himself. His lips were trembling, his expression was one of forbearance, his fists were tightly clenched, and his veins were bulging. It was as if he was about to fly up and punch someone but was forcibly holding back.
This actor was also acting pretty well. His acting skills could even fool everyone's eyes.
Previously, there had been so many problems. Why were these two so well coordinated this time?
Could it be that the two had rehearsed in private? Had they practiced?
When this part was over, the director was very excited. "Pass!"
The gloominess on his face was gone. The director gave Zaro a rare satisfied smile. "Very good, very good! Keep it up! "
Looking at the comments online, he had really thought that Zaro would slow down the progress of the Leizhou chapter and cause the Leizhou filming team to be laughed at by the other teams. But now it seemed that Zaro was still pretty good when he was serious.
Therefore, he still had to give the youngster a chance and some time. He could not be prejudiced against Zaro just because of his past.
Looking at his condition today, it was great!
Sure enough, some pressure was needed. Once external pressure came, didn't Zaro come into form?
Standing to the side and watching the filming, Zaro's agent had a faint sour look in his eyes. He was so moved that his eyes were brimming with tears. If not for the occasion, he would really have cried.
It hadn't been easy!
Zaro had acted in so many scenes, but this was the first time that his emotions had directly radiated to the surroundings. Even though he was standing so far away, he could still feel that kind of emotional outburst. That was something that only a skilled actor could do!
He had finally trained Zaro... He had finally brought Zaro out!
He had finally completed the heavy responsibility he had shouldered!
He had completed his mission as a specially appointed agent!
Zaro's agent had mixed feelings. He watched Zaro run over and a smile hung on his face.
Every step Zaro took was higher than before. He skipped and ran like a cheerful antelope. When he reached his agent, he did not wait for his agent to say anything. Zaro let out a long breath.
A dizzying smell wafted over.
"Can you smell it?" Zaro asked delightedly.
Zaro's agent: "..." His smile was tinged with despair.
Bullsh * t acting!
Zaro, who did not understand his agent's complicated feelings, was currently immersed in excitement. This success had made him very, very emotional.
That director, who had always been gloomy and gloomy, had praised him quite a few times! Actually, this director was not bad. He had good taste!
The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. Although eating those things was indeed very uncomfortable, it was worth it to stimulate the emotions and to achieve the effect that the director wanted!
"Hehehe, how satisfying!"
That day, Fang Zhao had said that he could eat something to stimulate the emotions. For example, garlic. It would be best if it was grown on planet Wai and eaten raw. The taste was stronger and more stimulating. Zaro had even improvised a little and added some other sauces. That feeling... he had instantly experienced the emotions of the characters in the movie.
After expressing his thoughts, Fang Zhao had suggested he give it a try.
Zaro himself had not expected that his first try would be so successful!
It was done in one take!
Just as he was feeling pleased, the actor who had just been acting with Zaro came over with a complicated expression and pleaded sincerely, "Senior Master, next time you do this, please let me know beforehand."
When the smell had assaulted him, the impact had been too great. He had suddenly felt dizzy and had nearly forgotten his lines.
When he was in a good mood, Zaro was very easy to talk to. "Sure thing, sure thing!"
Zaro turned to his agent and said, "Did I act well just now? Was it a little heart-wrenching? But it was really heart-wrenching. Maybe it was because I ate too much garlic and sauces during my first try, and my stomach was upset. Fang Zhao seemed to have mentioned that tea, milk, or something else could alleviate it. Hey, he had prepared those things for me and forgot to bring them! Hurry, hurry, hurry, let's go back! "Zaro pulled his agent away with quick steps.
Zaro's agent could no longer be bothered with the smell of stinky feet surrounding him. He was afraid that Zaro had really eaten some dark cuisine, and if something happened, he would have to shoulder the blame. He did not dare delay and did not return directly to the dormitory. Instead, he brought Zaro to the set district hospital for a checkup. He would not be at ease without a checkup.
After going to the hospital, there were no major problems. After drinking some medicine to buffer his stomach, Zaro pulled out his phone and could not wait to share it with others.
There was no internet access in the set district, but everyone was given a phone that could only be used for calls and not internet access, and it was limited to the set district.
"Fang Zhao, I really have to thank you this time! When season three is over, I will treat you to a meal at the gourmet food city! Hey, by the way, if anyone mentions me again, just tell them that from now on, on the cast of 'Founding Era,' I, Zaro, will complete my scenes in one take!! Hahahahaha! "Zaro's laughter was especially loud.
Zaro's agent thought to himself, Aren't you afraid of diarrhea when you talk big?
Zaro felt as if he had opened the door to a whole new world. Today's success had allowed him to find the guiding light for his own acting path.
It was not that he did not have acting skills, it was just that he was unable to perform to the effect that other people wanted. But if he used this kind of technique, he would be able to accomplish it!
On the other side, Fang Zhao had just finished filming a scene and was resting with a few of his fellow actors. They still had to continue filming in a while.
When Fang Zhao received the call and found out about what had happened, he smiled. In his previous life, he had once seen one of his subordinates try a similar method for a mission. When analyzing Zaro's character, Fang Zhao had thought of this method. Zaro was not really a newcomer who did not know anything. With appropriate targeted stimulation, perhaps there might be some results.
Now it seemed like it was really effective.
Seeing Fang Zhao like this, an old actor beside him asked, "Who was that? I think the laughter coming from the other side sounds a little familiar. "
"It was Zaro. He said that the filming over there went very smoothly and that it was completed in one take," Fang Zhao replied.
The other actors resting nearby all had shocked expressions on their faces. They suspected that they had heard wrong.
Zaro?
Who was that from Leizhou? The one who hopped around happily all day long. Other than having a good family background, he did not have a fart of ability and would only drag the crew down?
Completed in one take?
When did the Leizhou team's director have such low expectations? Would the lead director agree?
In any case, he just did not believe it.
"Do you believe it?" someone asked Fang Zhao.
"I believe it," Fang Zhao replied. "You will see it when it is broadcasted."
After Zaro finished his call with Fang Zhao, he called everyone he knew in the cast.
"Ba ~ That b * stard, I heard that you took two takes for a few matches in the Lazhou group. Too lousy! I completed it in one take. Not that I am bragging... "
On the other end of the line, Barbara hung up expressionlessly.
Zaro listened to the "du du" sound on the other end of the line and pursed his lips before changing to another person.
"Hey, Woo Tianhao, I heard that your Tongzhou team's filming yesterday did not go smoothly. You too, go to more training classes and hone your acting skills. Don't read novels after filming..."
"F * ck you!!"
The sound of Woo Tianhao smashing things could be heard on the other end, followed by the "du du" sound on the other end.
Zaro grunted. "What a narrow-minded person."
Beside him, his agent stared at the ceiling with a wooden expression.
Zaro continued to call people.
Didn't you guys often mock me in the past? Now, this young master has completed it in one take! Are you stupid?
"If you can't act, quit the cast!" Zaro continued to provoke people.
In the past, you guys provoked me. Now, I am provoking you guys and pressuring you. The slaps you gave me, I will slap them back several times!
Zaro felt good showing off to others. When he was finally done, he was in a good mood. He told his agent, "Fang Zhao has done a great job this time. Do you think I should give him a big red packet? His pay for this series is not high. He is really pitiful. "
Zaro's agent's tone was calm. "I heard that his endorsement fee has doubled."
"How much?" Zaro did not mind.
Zaro's agent gave him a figure.
"F * ck! How can his endorsement fee be so high?! "Zaro, who had been prepared to help the poor, felt a bucket of cold water pour over his head.
Zaro's agent continued to pour cold water on him. "I calculated it. I won't say much, but I can tell you that he has more money than us. He is not pitiful at all. But if you act well, when the third season airs, it will not be too bad for you to take on endorsements. "
"Definitely!" Zaro's self-confidence, which had just been shaken, swelled again. He tossed the phone aside and went to look at the script, researching what to eat for the next scene and what ingredients to add.
Lead Director Roman had also heard about Zaro's one take at the Leizhou film series. It was not Fang Zhao who had said it but Zaro's own publicity. After watching the part where the Leizhou film series had finished filming suspiciously, Roman felt as if he had seen a miracle and asked, "This improvement is really big."
"I heard that it was a bit of a trick," someone from the directing team told him.
Roman shook his head. "Not everyone can use this kind of method. Do you think that no one has tried it before? But how many people can really put on such an effect that fits the plot? Zaro still has talent, it's just that his talent is not too mainstream. "
Looks like there was no need to call the Leizhou governor.
After sighing, Roman asked, "Who gave Zaro this idea? This is really a good way to deal with Zaro's personality. "
"That I am not sure, but I heard people say that Zaro went to look for Fang Zhao. After that, that scene was done in one take," the director in charge of the Leizhou chapter said.
Roman's smile deepened. "Oh my, Fang Zhao still has this ability!"
He could carve a piece of rotten wood into a miracle. What did this mean?
It meant that Fang Zhao could still teach people!
It meant that Roman's eyesight was good!
Look, this is what I recommended!
Three days later, another scene. Zaro, who had been publicly acknowledged as a drag, was done in one take once again.
Very quickly, the entire cast and crew knew about this matter.
After that, the lead director changed. Now, whenever he caught anyone not in form, thinking about other things, or not taking filming seriously, he would spit, "Look at human Zaro!"
All the actors felt that this time, the lead director was even more ruthless!
If it was Fang Zhao, they would have accepted it. Fang Zhao's ability and drive over the past few months was really indescribable, and they were almost immune to it. But if it was Tizaro, they would not accept it.
Disgrace!
