Chapter 376 Your Smell Is a Bit Realistic

Although fans and netizens who follow the entertainment industry wailed online, the crew did not respond much, just asking everyone to look forward to the release.

At the same time, they were engaged in intensive preparations.

On March 20, the crew held a simple opening ceremony at the Guangdong Provincial Cantonese Opera House and officially started filming.

Soon, nearly a month passed.

April 15, Hong Kong.

The sky was a little gloomy, as if it was about to rain.

In a house built in the style of the last century, the trees were lush and green.

In the villa in the center of the courtyard, there was a mahogany table on the left side of the old-fashioned sofa, on which stood a phonograph that looked like a morning glory. There was a small dining table in front of the sofa.

Not far away, on the other side of the room, the crew was setting up the scene and adjusting the lighting.

In the actor's lounge in the next room, the makeup artist was touching up the actor's makeup.

The house was busy, and outside the house, a car stopped at the door.

An elegant lady got out of the car and smiled at Chi Yu who was standing at the door.

Chi Yu walked forward and bowed slightly, extending his hand: "Hello, President Zhong, I have heard of your name for a long time."

This is Zhong Huiying, the director of the Guangdong Cantonese Opera Theater, a partner of the film. She is almost fifty years old this year, but perhaps because she has taken good care of herself and is well-read, she looks a dozen years younger than she actually is. She played Bai Suzhen in "The Legend of the White Snake" a few years ago without any disobedience.

Zhong Huiying shook his hand and said with a smile: "Secretary Chi, you are too polite. We talked on the phone before."

"Dean Zhong, Director Chen has to finish the filming before it rains. He is too busy to come here. I am sorry to let me pick you up first."

Zhong Huiying smiled and shook her head, "Don't be polite. He just called me and told me. And I came an hour early. Don't adjust your time for me. The most important thing is to make the movie well."

Chi Yu made a gesture of invitation and took her into the courtyard. As they walked, he said: "Would you like to take a rest first? Or go to the filming site first?"

"Will it disturb you if I go to the filming site?"

Chi Yu smiled and said: "Dean Zhong, you are joking. Today we are filming the scene of Mr. Xue Juexian and Shisanlang reuniting. A Cantonese opera actor and a Cantonese opera screenwriter, you can help give some pointers."

"You are too polite. How can I know anything about filming?"

The two of them were polite and walked along the cement road, through the emerald green courtyard, and into the red brick villa.

Just as she was about to walk up the steps, Zhong Huiying was repelled by a foul smell.

A figure walked out of the house.

Zhong Huiying looked closely and found that it was the lead actor Xie Ming.

Xie Ming's hair was like a chicken coop, and his face was covered with dust stains under his glasses with a missing lens. He was dressed like a beggar, wearing a shabby short shirt that had faded to dark blue and was covered with patches and stains. His vest and pants were also worn out.

And unlike the others who were wearing winter clothes, he was barefoot and wearing a pair of tattered straw sandals. There was a faint odor on his body.

Zhong Huiying didn't dare to go forward, and kept a distance of one meter and looked up and down in surprise. It wasn't that she disliked him, but she was afraid that she would accidentally rub off a stain on him and ruin his too realistic tramp costume.

She had read the script, and Shisanlang was mostly a tramp in the later period.

But this smell... a bit realistic.

"Teacher Xie, is your costume so real?"

Not only the smell, but also the skin on his face was rough and natural. His hair really looked like it hadn't been washed for several days.

Xie Ming hugged his arms and walked to the bottom of the stairs, sighing, "Dean Zhong, to be honest, I wore this outfit every day to run and sweat, and I didn't wash my clothes or take a shower for a week. I really wandered the streets for a few days."

"Ah? This..." Zhong Huiying opened her mouth slightly.

So miserable, no wonder the smell is so real.

She forced a smile and said, "It is indeed more realistic this way."

Xie Ming nodded, "Well, sit on the ground, the movements are very skillful, and it is easy to find the feeling when lighting a cigarette. Then the reactions of other actors who were smoked were also very real."

"Okay, keep it up." Zhong Huiying smiled.

Indeed, she was smoked just now, but she didn't show it out of politeness.

She wanted to raise her hand to pat his shoulder to encourage him, but she put it down again after raising it, "I won't touch you, so as not to pat the dust unevenly."

"Teacher Xie, the makeup artist is looking for you." The stage manager came over and said with a smile.

"I'll go right away." Xie Ming smiled at Zhong Huiying, "President Zhong, I'll leave you first."

"You're busy."

Zhong Huiying continued to walk up the outer staircase and entered the living room on the second floor. She said hello to Chen Xiao and sat in the corner.

The script supervisor happened to pass by, and she waved, "Xiao Liu, which scene are you shooting?"

"Please wait a moment." The script supervisor ran to the table next to her, took out the script, quickly turned a page, and came back to hand it to her, "President Zhong, this is it, you read it first, I'll go prepare the script board."

"Okay, you're busy." Zhong Huiying took the script.

This plot is about Shisanlang's difficulty in compromising with the secular world and falling into madness. After the liberation of Guangzhou, Taishigong was worried that Shisanlang's nonsense would cause trouble, so he sent him to Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, he was like a beggar, talking incoherently and without a fixed place to live.

That day, an old friend found him and entertained him at his home.

The next scene to be filmed is the scene where he didn't want to stay and ran away.

And her favorite scene was just filmed this morning.

Just as I saw this, the assistant director's voice came from the side: "President Zhong, they are editing this segment next door. We will start shooting in 20 minutes. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"It's so tightly scheduled?" Zhong Huiying looked up and smiled.

"You get used to it after working together more. And it's not too tight. Because it's going to rain soon, the actors will have a day off starting at 3pm today. Director Chen and the editor and colorist are doing some post-production work. The next door should be importing the material into the software now."

"Then I'll go take a look." As she said that, she returned the script to the script supervisor and walked to the editing room next door.

After saying hello to everyone, she saw her favorite clip on the screen.
