After becoming Famous, I Became Successful In My Cultivation
Scene 8 - "Continuing the smooth-acting"

The next day, Su Xinghe started the second scene with a full fighting spirit after a whole night of practice.
This scene is even simpler. He and the heroine met by chance at a banquet. He thought that spring was just around the corner and the future was long. Who knew that behind this scene he was so far away and so uncertain about life and death?
This scene has also become a memory that the heroine will never forget in her life.
The heroine Bai Man is the winner of last year's most popular talent show. She is naturally good-looking and has good company, so she has good resources. After acting in an online drama, she started to get roles in star dramas.
It's just that Director Huang got a headache when he saw her. It was not because of anything else but her poor acting skills.
Fortunately, she looks good; otherwise, Director Huang's head would be even more painful.
Bai Man herself knew her problems, but after she became famous, her work schedule was full and she had no time to hone her acting skills, so she could only make do with it for the time being.
So she was quite curious about Su Xinghe, a powerful newcomer. In addition, there was no resource conflict, and the atmosphere during the meeting was relatively friendly.
Filming of this scene soon started. Different from the first scene, Su Zezhi was in a normal state at this time. He was wearing indigo clothes, tied his hair with a jade crown, and had a jade necklace around his waist, standing in front of a peach blossom.
He was admiring this late-blooming peach blossom, but others were admiring him.
The heroine was passing by the garden at this time. She was in a hurry, but when she saw him, she stopped with a blushing face.
This may be the most natural expression that Bai Man contributed to this drama because she didn't need to act. As soon as she saw Su Xinghe, she was struck by Su Xinghe's beauty.
This beautiful boy is simply a treasure in the world.
What's more, he is such a beautiful young man with a good temperament and appearance.
Bai Man's face felt a little hot, and she had entered the state.
Her maid coughed twice when she saw this and said in a moderate voice, "Miss, the master is still waiting for us."
Su Xinghe turned around after hearing this, and a gust of wind blew up the corners of his clothes. A piece of peach blossom fell and rested on his shoulder.
Under the scorching sun, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are like clear springs, and they are as bright as the jade trees in the Nine Heavens Moon Palace.
Bai Man's face turned redder.
Su Xinghe was very surprised to see her, and his face showed the shyness that only belonged to a teenager.
In the camera, you can even see his eyes light up for a moment.
At this time, in this place, in front of this person, he was no longer a thoughtful and energetic young man from an aristocratic family, but just a young man with the beginning of his love.
"Hello, Miss Third." He lowered his eyes and spoke softly as if he were afraid of offending the girl opposite.
Bai Man also whispered, "Hello, Mr. Su."
There were no more words or eye contact between the two of them, but the sun was just right, the spring was blooming, and the air seemed to be tainted with the scent of peach blossoms, becoming ambiguous.
Director Huang looked at the picture on the monitor quietly and breathed a sigh of relief.
The hazy yearning and good feelings between boys and girls are so young and moving, just like the peach blossoms in the background—the peach blossoms bloom first in spring, and everyone can't help but see the beauty.
"Okay, it's over!" He waved his hand and announced that the scene had passed.
Bai Man was stunned when she heard this and then raised her head in surprise.
She passed one?!
This is her first time on this crew.
She hurried over to see the monitor.
Director Huang was in a good mood, so he let her watch and said to her, "You performed well today."
The girl's surprise and shyness at first sight of her sweetheart were well expressed.
Bai Man also felt that she performed well. She couldn't help but look at the young man on the other side of the screen. His figure was tall and straight, his eyes were clear, like clouds in the sky, like white snow, and more like orchids blooming in spring.
So beautiful.
How touching.
So it’s a pity.
Bai Man suddenly understood the heroine's early psychology. She must have been very happy to be engaged to the young man she loved, so after learning of his death, she found it so difficult to accept it and tried every means to help him get revenge, which started her life entangled with the hero.
[*Sai: Heroine = female protagonist, hero = male protagonist.]
Thinking of this, Bai Man couldn't help but sigh that the fate of heaven is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people.
She said to Su Xinghe next to her, "You did a really good job."
Su Xinghe didn't expect that the crew of "Full Palace" would be so friendly. From the director to the actors, from the actors to the staff, everyone praised him for his good acting when they met him.
What kind of luck is he to meet such a loving crew?
But he knows what level he is at, and he doesn't take everyone's compliments seriously.
He is still very self-aware.
But when he was praised, he had to praise her back. This is the way of speaking that Sister Zhang taught him, so he immediately said, "Sister Bai acted so well that she brought me into the play."
This is similar to what he said yesterday to the male protagonist, Yi Tian.
Bai Man knew that Su Xinghe was being polite, but she couldn't help but smile.
Director Huang saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was good, so he quickly started filming the next scene, which was the scene where the two got engaged.
Although the two of them were not in the same frame in this scene, their expressions when they looked at the wedding poster were the same.
Su Xinghe sat by the window, looking at the peach blossoms outside the window. His slender fingers gently touched the wedding sticker in his hand. What was written on it were his and the names of his beloved.
There is no more touching writing than this.
He raised his head and couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.
In this play, he has innocent smiles, shy smiles, and helpless smiles, but this is the only smile that comes from the heart and is filled with joy.
Unfortunately, after this smile, his life came to an abrupt end.
The scene to be filmed the day after tomorrow is his highlight, helping the fifth prince to block arrows.
Director Huang told him after the play: "The day after tomorrow is the horseback riding scene. Although there will be a stand-in, you still have to prepare well."
Although Su Zezhi in the play is in poor health, he has been learning horsemanship and swordsmanship since he was a child. He is very skilled, so he can help the fifth prince block the fatal arrow.
Su Xinghe heard this and said, "I can ride a horse by myself."
He once went to the grasslands with his master for a year and was on the horse every day, so there was no need for a substitute in this scene.
Director Huang was stunned: "You don't need a substitute? Can you ride a horse?"
Su Xinghe nodded.
Director Huang became interested: "Then let me see how you ride tomorrow."
The next day, the borrowed horse for the filming arrived.
Su Xinghe looked around excitedly. After returning from the grassland, he hadn't seen a horse for a long time.
The staff was standing by to help everyone get on their horses, and Su Xinghe was ready to take action when he saw this.
The staff member said, "Brother Su, let me help you."
After all, it is a strange horse, and you will need their help when getting on the horse for the first time.
Su Xinghe said: "No need."
He had just been observing for a long time and felt that the help of the staff would be a burden, so he might as well get on the horse himself.
Just as the staff was about to persuade him, they saw Su Xinghe using his arms to turn over neatly and get on the horse with a swipe.
? ? ?
This is too neat.
He looked like a professional jockey.
Before he could praise Su Xinghe, he saw the maroon horse in front of him shoot out like a galloping arrow.
Su Xinghe pulled the reins skillfully and leaned forward slightly, letting the strong wind whistle in his ears and feeling like he was about to fly.
Director Huang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to the cameraman next to him, "Hurry up and shoot the behind-the-scenes footage! This section must be added to the behind-the-scenes footage!"
When the actor Yi Tian heard this, he only saw Su Xinghe riding on the horse with graceful movements, like a shooting star. Normally, they would be galloping across the racecourse, and their movements would be no different from those taught by the equestrian teacher.
Are all the supporting characters nowadays so powerful?
…
The next day, Yi Tian, whose thighs were stiff due to long horse training, arrived at the set early for the first time.
He gave up. He couldn't do it anymore.
Besides, why compete with a supporting character in riding skills? His acting skills are enough to overwhelm minor supporting roles.
Although Su Xinghe has talent and looks, it's still too early to steal his limelight.
When he came, Su Xinghe had already arrived.
Director Huang was very happy to see that both of them attached great importance to this scene and said, "Come, let me tell you two about the scene."
Today's scene was mainly an action scene for Su Xinghe.
He needs to complete the actions of riding a horse, chasing, and blocking arrows. In addition, he also needs to show the weakness of recovering from a serious illness and being exhausted.
Director Huang said: "This scene is quite difficult and requires very high horse control skills, so I suggest using a stand-in. If you want to do it yourself, you can try it first."
Yi Tian wanted to say that there was no need to try and just go directly. He wanted to be a substitute, but seeing that Su Xinghe didn't even speak, he held back.
After all, if you use a stand-in, you can only shoot half-length and big headshots, and the pictures will be scattered and incoherent, so you can only rely on post-production editing.
Su Xinghe is different from Yi Tian. He is very confident in his horse control skills.
After watching the martial arts instructor's movements, he made an OK gesture and jumped onto the horse.
"Be careful!" Director Huang said from the side.
Su Xinghe answered with a smile and ran a circle in the woods with his hand on the horse's belly. Then he imitated the movements when an arrow came, leaned forward, quickly drew his sword to block it, and finally turned around neatly and headed towards Yi Tian's location.
This series of movements was fast and steady. The horse under him was as obedient as Su Xinghe's legs, running wherever he pointed.
Upon seeing this, Director Huang stopped forcing Su Xinghe to use a stand-in. If the actor himself did it, the film would be better.
Especially today, he was wearing a horse riding outfit. Su Xinghe had a good figure. A pair of straight and slender legs firmly clamped the horse's belly, and the smooth muscle lines were perfectly wrapped.
In terms of figure alone, Su Xinghe has absolutely no flaws.
Director Huang looked at Yi Tian again. Yi Tian straightened his back and said stubbornly, "I'll try to do it myself."
Then he failed.
After Su Xinghe blocked an arrow for him, he had to act frightened and angry, jump off his horse, and hug Su Xinghe, who fell to the ground.
Just this one jump was too difficult, and he couldn't do it at all.
So in the end, a substitute had to come.
Director Huang didn't mind either. The actor's safety was the most important thing. He said, "Then let the stand-in teacher come."
When everyone was almost ready, the filming of the scene finally started.
