After becoming Famous, I Became Successful In My Cultivation

Scene 16 - "Finished shooting [Qiu Xuan]"

Translator: Google Translate

Editor: Sai Hiroto

Su Xinghe, who felt that he had a heavy responsibility and a glorious mission, spent the next few days shooting movies with the most down-to-earth style, the most resolute attitude, and the most stringent standards, just like every office worker who was fighting for the year-end bonus.

Ji Yujia was almost depressed by her state of having to go through several things every day.

Because she couldn't keep up with Su Xinghe's rhythm at all, she didn't even know how Su Xinghe did it.

The character Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord is actually very difficult to play because he has very distinct personality traits at each stage of his growth, but no matter how he changes, his essence does not change, which requires the actor to grasp the unchanging characteristics while interpreting the differences.

This is very difficult; at least Ji Yujia can't do it. She has wasted all her energy to perform the state and emotions of each scene smoothly.

As for considering the integrity and continuity of the entire character, she doesn't have the energy yet.

Of course, if a director was not very particular, he or she would not make any special requirements. After all, a drama has dozens of episodes, and the schedule is very tight. There's no way they'd pay attention to details like making a movie.

Therefore, in Director Zhou's opinion, Su Xinghe only needs to be able to successfully perform the distinctive characteristics of several periods. He is not picky about requiring actors to act out these changes smoothly and flawlessly.

Because in the final episodes aired, the majority of the scenes were about Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord, and there were very few scenes about his youth and growth. The audience would automatically help the actors fill in the blanks of these changes in their minds, so some flaws are completely tolerable.

But Su Xinghe gave him a big surprise.

Su Xinghe is only eighteen years old, so there is nothing wrong with him playing the young Qiu Xuan.

All he had to do was change the slightly sharp makeup he wore when the Immortal Lord was there, and he was now a fearless young man.

If they just look at this outfit, no one would doubt that he is the protagonist in other dramas.

After all, Su Xinghe at this moment was dressed in red with gold accessories all over his body. Even the boots that were occasionally exposed were embroidered with gold thread. He was almost the same person as Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord.

Therefore, if the actors are not careful, it is very easy to portray the young Qiu Xuan as someone else.

But Su Xinghe is different. Even the most demanding people in the crew have to admit that this Su Xinghe is the young Qiu Xuan in their hearts, the young phoenix with the most dazzling talent in Kunlun Fairy Mountain, and not anyone else.

Because the light in his eyes was blazing, fearless, and without any dodge, it seemed that no one or thing could make him surrender, and he was almost the same as the later Immortal Lord.

It's just that the former is more unscrupulous and the latter is more restrained and deep.

This feeling is very subtle, and it may be difficult for many people to describe how Su Xinghe did it, but Director Zhou is an experienced director, so he knows.

All of Su Xinghe's micro-expressions and movements are the same as when he was the Immortal Lord.

If this was specially designed by Su Xinghe, then he is indeed a very attentive actor.

If not, then he is truly blessed by God.

But whether there is or not, Director Zhou is very satisfied.

"Attention all units, take action!"

As soon as Director Zhou finished speaking, Su Xinghe appeared on the camera with an angry face.

"What are you doing?!" At this moment, his eyes widened, like a little leopard that had been stepped on.

Because the scene in front of him was so infuriating.

The young Qiu Xuan had no idea that at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, monks were practicing with the souls of living people.

Moreover, this monk was no stranger to him. He was the favorite grandson of the Lord of Kunlun Mountain.

"Is it you?" The person who was discovered didn't care at all. He threw the lifeless mortal in front of him to the side, stood up, and said, "What? Do you want to stand up for these mortals?"

Qiu Xuan said angrily., "Using mortal souls to cultivate is an evil way. Even if you are the grandson of the Lord of Kunlun Mountain, the world of immortality will not tolerate you!"

"Tsk! My grandfather ascended to heaven a long time ago. Even if I use the soul of a cultivator to cultivate, the people on Kunlun Mountain will not dare to say anything."

The master of Kunlun Mountain has long been ranked as immortal, and the monks dare not make irresponsible remarks to his favorite grandson.

But Qiu Xuan is not such a person.

So the tragedy of his life begins here.

"Cut!" Zhou Dao said.

Su Xinghe stopped angrily. The sense of involvement was too strong, so he was still angry.

When he thought about Qiu Xuan's family being ruined, his spiritual roots being broken, and his love being lost because of that evil cultivator, he became extremely angry.

Zheng Ming had recently figured out Su Xinghe's situation and knew that he was slow to act, so he quickly brought a cup of milk tea over and coaxed Su Xinghe to drink it.

Sure enough, after drinking milk tea, Su Xinghe's expression softened.

Zheng Ming wiped his sweat. Fortunately, he had a magical weapon like milk tea; otherwise, Brother Su would have been so angry.

After all, Qiu Xuan's life was so miserable that he even felt angry, let alone Brother Su, who played Qiu Xuan himself.

The actor who played the dandy evil cultivator couldn't help wiping his sweat when he saw this. Although the crew had only started filming for half a month, everyone knew that acting with Su Xinghe was stressful.

Because Su Xinghe NG too few times, and his seriousness made him incompatible with others.

Besides memorizing lines, he studied the script. He neither joined the group that joked during the day nor the group that gathered at night. It was like a top student mixed in with a group of poor students and a top student at the level of the dean of studies.

Just terrible.

Su Xinghe, who was completely unaware of the psychological shadow he had caused on others, was very innocent.

On his left shoulder was Mr. Qin's sky-high investment, and on his right shoulder was Qiu Xuan's tragic life. He had to burn the midnight oil and fight every day, hanging the beam and stabbing the thigh, for fear of screwing up the role of Qiu Xuan.

He didn't even participate in the exam that the weapon spirit prepared for him at night and only studied the play wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, he became a little angry again. Qiu Xuan was so miserable that he had to drink two more sips of milk tea.

During the difficult filming process, only the mellow taste and rich aroma of milk tea could heal him.

Thanks to the crew who bought him his first cup of milk tea a few days ago.

But the life of an adult is never easy. Maybe Director Zhou was excited to see the prey, or maybe Director Zhou's expectations were suddenly raised, so Director Zhou made a decision. He wants to impose strict requirements on Su Xinghe.

"Xinghe, come here, I'll tell you about the scene just now."

Su Xinghe had to put down the milk tea and sat next to Director Zhou.

"Your anger just now was a bit too exaggerated. You could adjust your expression."

From that day on, Su Xinghe, a top student, became a scumbag.

Ji Yujia and the other actors finally put their minds at ease.

Because Su Xinghe also ended up NG frequently, similar to everyone else.

The actors in the crew must be neatly organized and uniform!

Five months later, Su Xinghe, who had lost more than ten kilograms, finally completed the project.

Through this filming, he also became more certain of his self-awareness: in addition to being a loser in the practice of Taoism, he is also a loser in acting.

Alas.

After Su Xinghe sighed, he happily packed his luggage.

Although he was reluctant to say goodbye to Qiu Xuan, he had to go back and offer incense to his ancestor.

Because he was too tired from filming, he not only stopped doing his daily homework but also stopped paying homage to his ancestors.

Grandmaster and master have worked hard.

They unexpectedly met a useless and unfilial descendant like him.

Su Xinghe, who had paid a lot of money, went home to practice immortality. No, he went home to practice Taoism, but the others who were left behind were not at peace.

Director Zhou looked at the filmed materials and felt that this drama was going to be a hit.

Especially the male lead is sure to be an instant hit!

If not for anything else, just because Su Xinghe looks so good and acts so well.

For a newcomer to have such a performance, it is unreasonable to not be popular.

Director Zhou calculated that a purple star should fall from the sky in the ancient drama circle.

Director Zhou was extremely happy, but Ji Yujia was not so happy.

Although she is the leading heroine, to be honest, she has to admit that she was indeed crushed.

Her character is actually pretty good. After all, she is the heroine and has her own career path. But Qiu Xuan's character is also not bad, beautiful, strong, and tragic. Although his role is one-quarter less than hers, he is always the highlight every time he appears.

So she had to start discussing future marketing strategies with her team.

We can't let the newcomer Su Xinghe take all the profits from a drama. At least a large part should be left for her.

Otherwise, how would she meet anyone after this?

Su Xinghe didn't think too much. After finishing the filming, he decided to give himself a holiday first and then deal with Mr. Qin's affairs.

After all, cultivating Taoism is difficult. He usually doesn't even have time to do his homework, and he feels even more useless.

He is lucky enough not to be caught by ghosts, but catching ghosts is impossible.

But before he could review the basic training of a Taoist priest, director Huang from the crew of "Full Palace" called him.

As the talent scout who discovered Su Xinghe, Director Huang was very optimistic about Su Xinghe himself. In addition, since he was one of his own artists, he decided to bring Su Xinghe to the investment promotion meeting as soon as "Full Palace" started soliciting investment.

This is an investment fair held by Eggplant TV every year. There are a lot of crews and stars who go there. As an unknown third male lead, Su Xinghe really wouldn't be able to go if it weren't for the company's support.

Su Xinghe thought for a while, torn between doing homework and seeing the world for a long time, and finally agreed to Director Huang in pain.

"Aren't you going to study how to catch ghosts?" The weapon spirit suddenly asked.

Su Xinghe:...

It’s so difficult to stick to your original intention; there are too many obstacles.

But he wanted to broaden his horizons in the lavish entertainment industry.

After entering the entertainment industry, he stayed on the set almost every day, and he didn't meet many celebrities.

He wanted to see the colorful world.

No wonder his master wants to stay on the mountain all the time. There are too many temptations at the bottom of the mountain.

Even he, a Taoist priest who devoted himself to cultivating Taoism, could no longer hold on to his original intention.

When the weapon spirit heard this, he criticized him: "Master Patriarch's original intention was to act; how can you say that he can't stick to his original intention?"

"It doesn't matter whether you practice Taoism or not. The key is that you haven't taken the exam yet!"

When the weapon spirit said this, Su Xinghe felt his original intention was even more shaky.

"You can't blame me for the exam..." Su Xinghe couldn't help but defend himself.

It's either that he didn't work hard or that he worked too hard on the movie, so he didn't have time to take the exam.

Every day when he returned to the hotel, he could only lie down and be like a salted fish. Not to mention taking exams, he burned a lot less incense for his ancestors.

The weapon spirit thought about it and said, "Then let’s go to the colorful world first!"

This country bumpkin also wants to see the entertainment industry that the founder described, which is confusing, full of intrigue, and in dire straits!
