After Waking up Beside the Villain

Although Teacher Chu did not have any teaching talent, and even shied away from classmate Yin who came to ask for advice, the shooting the next day went smoothly.

Zhang Feifan had heard of Yin Zheng’s reputation.

The news in the circle wasn’t always true or false. He had been around for a long time, so naturally it iwa not so easy for him to believe those rumors.

But Yin Zheng’s acting skills were what he was really worried about.

After all, popular little fresh meat were all carved out of the same mold. Although Yin Zheng used to have talent and some acting skills, it may not be enough to play Du Mingyao.

However, after Yin Zheng joined the group, most of Zhang Feifei’s worries were dispelled.

He was a director who was very good at teaching actors, so it was not difficult to see that Yin Zheng was a piece of gold covered in sand. And this piece of gold was not a piece of gold that was self-indulgent, trying to get by. He worked hard and was willing to learn, was very practical in acting, and wanted to make himself shine.

This surprised Zhang Feifan.

You must know that he really only came to Chu Yunsheng at first, and only because of Chu Yunsheng’s behalf did he accept Yin Zheng, who was riddled with scandal and was almost suppressed.

But now, Zhang Feifan was staring excitedly Yin Zheng, this piece of raw jade.

“Cut!”

A hoarse shout came from the loudspeaker, Zhang Feifei sat on the chair and waved his hand, “The actor on the far left… Yes, it’s just you, your expression was wrong just now… and Xiao Yin, with his shoulders pulled away, his aura is deep and fierce. Don’t exaggerate, you know what I mean? You are playing a powerful handsome man, not a gangster boss!”

“Five minutes of break!”

Teaching well meant high demands.

After Zhang Feifei discovered Yin Zheng’s talent, he immediately changed his requirements for Du Mingyao, and discussed with screenwriter Wang for two nights to fine-tune Du Mingyao’s role and character.

Since Yin Zheng had the ability to support Du Mingyao, what could he do to help him?

Chu Yunsheng was wearing a light blue robe, and let the makeup artist swipe around his face to touch up his makeup. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Feifan, who was smiling and a little tangled not far away. Yin Zheng, who was reciting words, was not surprised.

That strange task allowed him to “change Yin Zheng’s fate”, Chu Yunsheng only played along and did not refuse.

But he was very clear that the only one who can really change a person’s destiny is themselves.

Chu Yunsheng can help Yin Zheng and give Yin Zheng a chance.

But the only one who can really take advantage of these help and seize these opportunities is Yin Zheng himself.

In fact, in the original novel, if Chu Yunsheng had not completely cut off Yin Zheng’s acting dream and put the last straw that broke the camel’s back, Yin Zheng would not have been driven crazy. He would have still looked for opportunities to rise up again.

Just as he thought about it, Yin Zheng, who was very good at seizing opportunities, moved over and said with a serious face: “Mr. Chu, what do you think my performance just now lacked? I really didn’t know much about the warlords of that era…”

This part of the filming right now was the most important one.

In the previous plot, after Du Mingyao temporarily took Yuan Qing from the Da Yanguan, he left him at home like a plaything. Yuan Qing was like a walking dead and didn’t respond. Whether it was the Du Mansion or the Da Yanguan, there was no difference to him.

In this scene, Du Mingyao learned that one of his subordinates had betrayed him, so he took out his gun and shot him.

The adjutant cleaned up with trepidation, while Du Mingyao brushed his gun while downplaying what happened after. Then he saw Yuan Qing, who had long been forgotten by him.

Yuan Qing stood at the entrance of the stairs, his face pale from the sound of gunfire, but his eyes were calm, and he glanced over the corpses without any expression. He stood there, his face pale and handsome, his eyes dark, and shadow falling on him.

Du Mingyao beckoned him over and asked, “How many people have you killed?”

Yuan Qing replied calmly, “Two.”

Du Mingyao’s gloomy and indifferent eyes suddenly showed a hint of interest, but he didn’t say anything. He just took a foreign language original book, handed it to Yuan Qing, who couldn’t understand it at all, and let him leave.

This scene was Du Mingyao’s second official appearance, which was completely different from the romantic and strong impression he gave the first time. This performance was the first battle that really showed most of Du Mingyao’s character and established Du Mingyao as a character.

His scheming, ruthless, cautious, and shortcomings in his character were all reflected in this short scene.

Chu Yunsheng recalled their rivalry just now and said, “Your performance just now was good. You think Du Mingyao is a wolf, right?”

After the make-up artist cleaned up, the props were rearranged.

Chu Yunsheng stood in the Republic-style study, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Yin Zheng.

Yin Zheng was really a big-hearted person. After half a month, he had changed from an angry bird to a good student who was diligent and hardworking. Facing Chu Yunsheng’s normal contact, he was no longer tense and stiff, which was a good sign.

“Yeah.”

Yin Zheng took the water naturally and took a sip.

Chu Yunsheng’s voice was light: “A wolf’s nature; wild, cruel, greedy and violent. It’s okay to define Du Mingyao in this way, but it’s too shallow. A person’s personality is not a fixed value. When facing different people and different things, they will show different sides. But in their bones, there will always be a real temperament.”

“Du Mingyao is a wolf.”

Chu Yunsheng met Yin Zheng’s gaze, “He is not an ordinary wolf, but an alpha wolf. If you want to act like an alpha wolf, you are not only cruel, but also convincing. His way of doing things is ruthless, but stable. In this era, a little spark can burn down a whole country.”

Yin Zheng was deep in thought.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t rush him, he threw the mineral water bottles into the garbage bag, and said, “I asked Yuan Meng to find some documentaries and biographies of the Republic of China. Are you free at night? Watch it with me, and practise.”

Yin Zheng came back to his senses. No one knew what he was thinking but his ears turned slightly red: “Okay.”

The director gestured over, and Zhang Feifan’s loudspeaker sounded again.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t notice what was wrong with Yin Zheng. He walked out of the study and returned to the stairs.

This scene was filmed for the seventh time, and finally, there were no more mistakes.

Zhang Feifan and the assistant director rewinded it over several times before they were satisfied.

There was no night shooting today, so work was over in the evening. Zhang Feifan called Yin Zheng and Chu Yunsheng out alone, and said hesitantly, “Old Chu, Xiao Yin, are you both ready for the scene you’re going to shoot tomorrow? Yes? What this…if you need it, just say it, don’t be embarrassed.”

Yin Zheng’s ears burned again. He was awkwardly silent.

Chu Yunsheng glanced at him, and suddenly understood why Yin Zheng had been sneaking glances at him at every turn for the past two days.

According to the shooting schedule, tomorrow will be the first “bed scene” between Yuan Qing and Du Mingyao.

Originally, Chu Yunsheng had planned to seek Yin Zheng’s opinion before, whether to take a stand-in or consult with the director, or simply cut out this part. But later, when he got busy, there were too many things to do in the newly opened company alongside his scenes in the movie, so he put it off again and again, until today.

After thinking for a while, Chu Yunsheng said, “Yin Zheng doesn’t like men, so it might be embarrassing. I remember that scene is in the afternoon, why don’t I ask Yuan Meng to arrange a substitute tomorrow morning…”

Yin Zheng’s face changed slightly, interrupting Chu Yunsheng’s words: “I don’t need a substitute.”
