"Xiaoxian, you can put on makeup now."
The film crew's director, Cheng Xiaodong, called Wang Xian'er to get her makeup done.
As the female lead, her appearance is very important, as it affects the overall aesthetics of the film.
Her period costume look, in particular, is quite complex and takes half a day to complete.
"Little Master Longyan, we're about to shoot the first scene. You need to get your makeup done and change into the wandering monk's costume first."
Xu Ke was on set, personally supervising the production.
Long Yan nodded and immediately began applying makeup.
He played the role of the young monk Shifang.
A natural performance!
.......
041 How can one find a way to have it all, to be true to both Buddha and one's beloved?
"Young master, you have a great sense of the camera!"
Long Yan changed into the clothes of a wandering monk and carried a wooden box, perfectly matching producer Xu Ke's fantasy of the male lead.
The male protagonist of A Chinese Ghost Story 3 is also a newly adult monk with the Buddhist name Shifang.
As a martial monk from the Oolong Temple, Long Yan perfectly embodied the role!
When he steps into the camera's view, he exudes a cinematic quality.
It drew praise from the production crew.
"Young master, you've done an excellent job!"
Chief director Cheng Xiaodong also gave a thumbs up.
It's not just because Long Yan's temperament perfectly matches the male lead,
More importantly,
It was his first time acting, but he wasn't nervous at all and was very composed!
This was completely unexpected by Cheng Xiaodong.
If Cheng Xiaodong hadn't known beforehand that Long Yan was a martial monk from Wulong Temple, she might have even thought he was an experienced and talented actor.
Moreover, Long Yan's image quality on camera is even comparable to that of Zhang Guorong.
"Okay, let's start filming the first shot."
Cheng Xiaodong served as the chief director, overseeing the entire operation. All crew members were in place, and the extras were all ready.
At this moment,
An old monk emerged from the dressing room, holding a staff, his white hair flowing; he was clearly a high-ranking monk.
Xu Ke introduced to Long Yan:
"Young master, this is Liu Xun, who plays Master Baiyun in the drama. He is your master."
In the movie A Chinese Ghost Story II, Liu Xun played the centipede demon Pudu Cihang.
He played the role of Master Baiyun in the third installment, which was also intentionally done by screenwriter Tsui Hark.
This suggests that the third part is a sequel to the second.
"Disciple, follow your master on the journey." Liu Xun quickly got into character, and even before filming officially started, he was already calling Long Yan his disciple.
"Master, Guo Bei Town is just ahead," Long Yan said, quoting a line from the script.
Now Long Yan has another master, Zen Master Baiyun!
Although Baiyun Zen Master was an actor playing a role, Liu Xun's temperament was very much in line with the image of a high-ranking monk.
"Everyone is in position!"
"action!"
The production crew set up the clapperboard, officially commencing the first shot.
According to the script of A Chinese Ghost Story 3,
Long Yan plays the monk Shi Fang, who is traveling with his master, Zen Master Baiyun.
During the journey, strong winds and heavy rain occurred, and we took shelter from the rain in a thatched hut.
Then they encounter Yan Chixia, played by Zhang Xueyou, while chasing a group of thieves.
This is the first shot.
The main characters are the young monk Shifang played by Long Yan, the Zen Master Baiyun played by Liu Xun, Yan Chixia played by Zhang Xueyou, and a group of bandits played by extras.
It's not difficult to act.
The main challenge is setting up the scene, which requires a lot of effort.
Especially the opening scene, with its howling winds and swirling yellow sand.
As the electric fan blew, the sand and dust on the ground swirled up, instantly creating the right atmosphere.
Master Baiyun, leaning on his staff, walked ahead with steady steps.
And Long Yan, playing the monk Shifang, followed by him...
……
I spent the whole afternoon taking pictures.
We finally finished filming the first shot.
Surprisingly smoothly!
Long Yan's performance, in particular, drew applause from Xu Ke, as it perfectly matched the script!
"Little master, my understanding of the script is truly vivid!"
Although Xu Ke was not the director, he supervised the entire process as a producer and saw that Long Yan's acting skills were very fitting for the character.
There were virtually no NGs due to Longyan.
the reason is simple,
Long Yan had watched the movie A Chinese Ghost Story 3, at least a dozen times, so of course he knew how to play the male lead.
In addition, he is a martial monk himself, so his temperament is just right, which makes his performance outstanding.
"Little master, take a rest. After dinner, we still have to film the night scenes, which are the main event."
Director Xu Xiaodong brought over a boxed lunch and handed it to Long Yan.
They also specially prepared a vegetarian meal.
The main scenes of A Chinese Ghost Story 3 all needed to be filmed at night.
After all, it's a horror movie, and the atmosphere is even better at night.
Just during dinner,
Actress Wang Xian'er came out of the dressing room.
I spent the whole afternoon doing my makeup!
She plays the female ghost Xiao Zhuo, and is a major highlight of the show.
Therefore, makeup must be done meticulously!
This time, in particular, the headdress was quite complicated and weighed over ten kilograms, so it took a lot of time to put on.
As a "professional female ghost actress," Wang Xian'er looks absolutely stunning in ancient costumes, captivatingly beautiful, both innocent and alluring.
She stretched out her slender fingers and smoothed her hair down her chest.
Then she spun around on the spot, her skirt billowing in the wind, revealing her fair legs.
Finally, glancing back at Long Yan, her large, watery eyes brimming with charm, she asked in a sweet voice:
"Shifang, do you like me?"
Oops, it’s a heart-pounding feeling!
Long Yan was indeed tempted.
Even if it takes ten years of cultivation,
Even that couldn't resist Wang Xian'er's allure.
This woman is so alluring!
However, this is just acting.
Long Yan wasn't going to take it seriously, but he went along with the act and said:
"Xiao Zhuo, how can one have it all, to be true to both Buddha and to you!"
This is the language that Long Yan could think of that best suits the situation.
Although it's not a line from A Chinese Ghost Story 3, it's full of poetry and incredibly fitting.
How can one find a way to have it all, to be true to both Buddha and love?
This answer stunned Wang Xian'er!
That's great!
What a beautiful love poem!
Wang Xian'er was moved; her heart raced, as if she were experiencing her first love.
I never expected that Long Yan, who is only eighteen years old, would be so talented.
It's unbelievable that she could say such touching love words.
It expresses both devout faith and deep affection.
Although there was no direct confession, Wang Xian'er was truly moved.
