Chapter 27:
August 13th.
Renee arrived at Ming Qing Palace early in the morning.
Today's filming was at the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
It was estimated that the filming would start around ten o'clock.
Renee arrived at half past eight.
This was professional ethics. She would rather wait for the director than let the director wait for her.
"Teacher Renee, you're here so early?”
Xu Jingan did not expect Renee to come so early. The time he set was ten o'clock, and it was now half-past eight. Renee was really very dedicated, which surprised Xu Jingan.
"It's fine. Come over early and study more.”
Renee smiled.
"Then I really have to thank Teacher Ye. Come, come, Little Wang, arrange a seat for Teacher Ye Ran. Teacher Ye Ran, it's a problem of conditions. There's no separate lounge, so I can only let you sit there and rest.”
Xu Jingan got someone to arrange for Renee to rest.
Renee nodded. He had experienced even tougher filming environments before, so it didn't matter if there was a lounge or not.
Xiaowang was the stage supervisor. When he saw Renee, he politely handed the chair to Renee and even gave her his personal electric fan.
It could also be considered the treatment of a lead actor.
"Teacher Renee, do you want something to drink?”
Little Wang asked Renee.
"Just mineral water."
Renee said.
The latter immediately left. After twenty minutes, he bought a lot of water, and it was iced.
It was actually quite nice to drink a mouthful of ice water in the middle of summer.
Xu Jingan came over and took the script to discuss it with Renee.
"Teacher Ye Ran, this movie is about the last day of Emperor Chongzhen. Because it's a big online movie, the screening time is 70 minutes. Excluding the opening and ending, it's actually about 60 minutes. Your movie takes up 35 minutes, so it's divided into five acts.”
"The first story is that Li Zicheng came to negotiate peace. You really wanted to negotiate peace, but because in the late Ming Dynasty, negotiating peace was equivalent to surrendering, you wanted to negotiate peace, but you didn't say it. Instead, you asked all the officials in the court, but none of them answered.”
"In the second story, the peace negotiations were rejected. You waited for the elite soldiers from all walks of life, hoping that they could still resist tenaciously and stall for time.”
" In the third story, the dust has settled. The people in the palace are scattered, and it is filled with depression and panic. You are in despair. You bring the palm-print eunuch Wang Chengen to the Longevity Mountain. When you see the smoke and fire outside the palace, you return to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and ask someone to bring wine and call the Empress and Princess.”
" In the fourth story, you ordered all the concubines in the harem to die and personally cut off the princess's arm. You were filled with grief and despair, and finally took Wang Chengen to the coal mountain.”
"The fifth scene is also the last scene. At the end of your life, you choose to hang yourself. This scene is the most important. Teacher Ye Ran, I really hope that you can capture that kind of charm. It's not the domineering aura of the Qin Emperor, but a declining emperor.”
Xu Jingan carefully explained the scene to Renee.
Renee nodded, indicating that he understood.
In fact, in the past two days, he had also read a lot of historical information about Emperor Chongzhen.
This emperor was lamentable and somewhat reaped what he sowed, but he was mostly helpless. He wanted to be a good emperor, but he was powerless.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit.
Just like that, at ten o'clock sharp, the extras were all in place, and the photography team was also ready.
Compared to the Heroes production team, the production team of Chongzhen's last day was obviously much worse. However, from the costumes and props, it could be seen that Xu Jingan was very serious and was a dedicated director.
Renee went to get her makeup done.
Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, this emperor needed to set his makeup. Because it was the last day, he would definitely look very haggard.
Renee frowned after the makeup was done.
Her hair was a little unkempt and she looked haggard. It was fine, but there was something wrong with her hairstyle.
Renee found Xu Jingan and raised this question.
" Director Xu, Chongzhen's hairstyle shouldn't be so messy. Although it's to reflect the last day, if it's really the last day, Chongzhen's appearance should be neat. Because he's the ruler of a country. In the face of national crisis, anyone can panic, but he can't. This basic etiquette can be messy for the last scene, but not for the first scene.”
Renee pointed out this shortcoming.
After Xu Jingan heard it, he immediately agreed and felt that Renee's words made sense.
Therefore, after adjusting her hairstyle again.
At eleven o'clock sharp.
Only then did the movie officially start filming.
Twenty to thirty extras walked into the hall, and it suddenly became crowded and lively.
Renee changed into the Ming Dragon Robe.
In an instant, the system's voice sounded.
"Ding…Emperor Prestige activated! Detected that the host is playing the role of Chongzhen. Perfect match in progress!”
"Ding! Activating the title of Emperor Specialist. Detected that the host is playing the role of Chongzhen.”
The system's voice sounded.
In an instant, Renee got into character!
And the movie officially started filming.
