After becoming Famous, I Became Successful In My Cultivation
Scene 24 - “The filming of the Great Wu Dynasty begins”

Editor: Sai Hiroto
After the three children arrived in Chang Town, Su Xinghe settled down completely in the rented house.
Although Qin Xuan was reluctant to leave, the director and screenwriter of "Great Wu Dynasty" were all preparing for a new play here, and it was obviously better for Su Xinghe to follow them.
Su Xinghe was actually reluctant to leave Qin Xuan. After he came down the mountain, Qin Xuan was considered his best friend, especially since they had encountered a powerful ghost together before. In short, in Su Xinghe's heart, Qin Xuan was already the closest person to him besides his master.
"It doesn't matter. I'll come to visit when I'm free." Qin Xuan said with a smile.
In addition to being reluctant to leave Qin Xuan, Su Xinghe was also worried about him, "Then be careful when you go back."
The bronze mirror they found was obviously not simple, and Su Xinghe suspected that it had something to do with Qin Xuan's yin and yang eyes.
But the weapon spirit said that although the thing was evil, it would not open the eyes of an ordinary person.
"To know the answer, we still have to start from Zhongqu Village." The weapon spirit thought for a long time and still felt that Qin Xuan's affairs were closely related to Zhongqu Village.
"Because I remember that this thing was sealed a long time ago. Didn't you say that a batch of cultural relics was unearthed in Zhongqu Village decades ago? Maybe it was dug out at that time, and there should be other things dug out together."
It was rare for the spirit of the weapon to show its wisdom, and Su Xinghe also expressed his approval.
But he couldn't do anything with the mirror, so he could only hold it and seal it with a spell.
But the seal obviously has no effect. As long as someone takes the mirror, the ghost may still appear again.
Su Xinghe originally wanted to send the mirror to Changchun Temple, but the weapon spirit disagreed.
"This is a rare ghost weapon. It cannot be handed over to others. If someone has bad intentions, it will be a bad ending."
There are many people in Changchun Temple. There are many Taoist priests in the temple, many Taoist priests who hang up their names, and there are also people who come to exchange and learn. With people coming and going, who knows if the news will be leaked? Once the news is leaked, this mirror will definitely become the object of competition.
So Su Xinghe could only put away the mirror and send the three little ones to watch it every day.
Speaking of these three little ones, they were still lamenting the hardships of life before going down the mountain, but after going down the mountain, they were completely relaxed.
Except for patrolling the studio every morning, noon, and afternoon, they developed their own interests and hobbies at other times.
For example, the little white pig recently likes to wander to the pig pen of the farmer's house next to it. They don't know whether it is to make friends or to feel superior.
Peach’s butt, on the other hand, likes to go out with Su Xinghe. After hearing a lot of people's words, she gradually starts to learn their tongue.
As for the big white goose, it paces back and forth outside the house every day, staring menacingly at people approaching, for fear that some unsighted person might come to the house and steal things.
So when the actors of the crew arrived in Chang Town and started to read together, they found the three mascots of the crew.
Gao Xinhong is the actor who plays Wu Yu. He had heard that Little Wu Yu was a newcomer. Out of trust in the director, he did not think that this newcomer was not good. Instead, he was curious about how good this newcomer was that the director signed him against all odds.
It was indeed against all odds because, including the investors, the child star Pei Feipeng was the favorite. He has good acting skills and a popular base. He is almost a national brother that everyone has watched grow up.
No matter how they look at it, he is more suitable than Su Xinghe.
But in the end, both the director and the screenwriter chose Su Xinghe, which really surprised many people.
So after Gao Xinhong came to the set, the first person he wanted to see was Su Xinghe, but he didn't see Su Xinghe but saw the three little ones patrolling the set first.
...
It seems that their crew didn't need the guardian beasts, so where did these three beasts come from?
It was only when the assistant came forward to explain that they were used to ward off evil spirits that Gao Xinhong calmed down.
He had filmed several plays with the director and he knew his temper. It was indeed what a superstitious director could do.
"Brother Gao, don't disbelieve it, it's really weird." The assistant told him everything he had heard, "More than one person was in trouble. It wasn't until these three came to patrol every day that the strange things stopped."
The same thing happened. This also happened to other veteran actors. After they all knew that these three little ones were just Su Xinghe's pets, they looked at Su Xinghe differently.
How can you learn to practice superstition with the director at such a young age?
During the first reading meeting, Su Xinghe felt that everyone looked at him and felt a little regretful that iron could not become steel.
? ? ?
He hasn't started reading the lines yet. There's no need to be so disappointed in the relationship.
The director cleared his throat and introduced them to each other.
Gao Xinhong sat next to Su Xinghe. They both played Wu Yu, so they naturally needed to communicate more. So Gao Xinhong and Peach's butt on Su Xinghe's shoulder made eye contact.
That's right, the director is a superstitious person. He believes that the mythical beast can ward off evil spirits, so he welcomes Peach's butt to read with them.
Peach's butt is also a follower. She follows Su Xinghe wherever he goes.
It glanced at Gao Xinhong with its beady eyes and said hello to him: "Hello."
After saying that, it flapped its wings and said to everyone, "Hello."
These two sentences were said accurately. It was round and made everyone jump.
But after a while, Gao Xinhong's eyes sparkled, "This parrot speaks really well."
It was the first time for others to hear a parrot speak so standardly. Suddenly, Peach’s butt surpassed Su Xinghe and became the focus of everyone.
Peach’s butt was a person who acted crazy. Su Xinghe was afraid that it would say something shocking again, so he quickly caught it and did not disturb the order of the reading.
However, after this episode, the group of people quickly became familiar with it.
This time they read the script of the first five episodes. In addition to the little Wu Yu, there is also a Wu Yu who is smaller than the little Wu Yu who appeared in the first five episodes. However, because the child was too young and could not miss classes, he did not come this time, so they started directly from the clip played by Su Xinghe.
Su Xinghe picked up the script and attracted the attention of others.
Because except for him, everyone present was familiar with each other and had worked together in other dramas before. Only he was a newcomer, so of course he attracted attention.
Su Xinghe was a little nervous when being watched, so he simply put his peach butt on the table and read the lines that he had practiced many times.
He didn't deliberately lower his voice, it was just a clear, boyish voice, but when he read the lines, it didn't seem thin at all because his emotions were very accurate.
Although Wu Yu, 13 years old, already had several younger brothers, as the only grown-up prince, he was still the central figure of the entire dynasty.
Su Xinghe appeared to play the first frustration of little Wu Yu.
He recalled this plot in his mind: the five-year-old second prince was running around in the corridor, he walked out from the corner, and the two happened to meet, The second prince grabbed his jade pendant and broke it, so he lost his temper at the servants beside the second prince, and perhaps his words were too harsh, which scared the second prince to tears.
When he recited this line of reprimanding the palace people, he did not appear angry, because this was not in line with the cultivation of a prince, so his tone was obviously suppressing anger, and the more he spoke, the less angry he seemed.
At the end, he had recovered his usual calmness, but his tone was stern, "Be careful in your work in the future. Fortunately, I caught the second prince today. What if the second prince falls in the future?"
After saying this, the second prince was frightened and cried.
At this moment, little Wu Yu did not scare his brother, because he felt that he was disciplining the palace people for his brother, and the purpose was also for his brother's good, so he just comforted his brother without any pain or itching.
At this time, his tone was different from just now. At least everyone could hear that he was not anxious about it but rather a little disgusted with his timid brother.
So the second prince was still sobbing until he left.
He didn’t know how this matter was spread later. By the time it reached the Emperor’s ears, he had frightened his younger brother to tears because of a jade pendant.
But his father did not listen to his explanation and only scolded him for not caring enough for his younger brother.
Wu Yu was obviously shocked at this time. One was shocked by the distortion of the rumor, and the other was shocked by his father's attitude.
After the shock, he was naturally aggrieved. He suddenly became anxious, and his tone was no longer as calm as before.
"Father! How could I blame my second brother for a jade pendant? I just..."
He said this, scaring Peach’s butt to flap his wings.
Huh?!
Why is the little bully suddenly so aggrieved?
Peach’s butt was a little confused, so she started to rub against Su Xinghe with her wings.
Even it could clearly hear Su Xinghe's grievances, let alone others.
Everyone looked at Su Xinghe's expression again. Although they were holding back, their eyes were a little red.
This little actor is great!
The emotional layers come out.
There aren't many lines in this scene, but the scene changes, so little Wu Yu's emotions change a lot.
Before Su Xinghe started talking, many people were actually worried because young actors tend to make mistakes at this time, that is, they are too emotional.
Especially in the last part, the shock and grievance add up, it's very easy to overact, but if it's overacted, the flavor changes.
Because Wu Yu is the prince, although he is spoiled, he is not a child from an ordinary family who can quarrel with his parents at will.
Therefore, the handling of this part requires a lot of skill. It is necessary to show his past favor—he dares to refute—and also to show his awe of the imperial power—he dares not be too excited.
Su Xinghe handled it very well. His emotions were well structured and did not overflow.
At least that's what it sounded like from the script.
Gao Xinhong couldn't help but pat Su Xinghe's other empty shoulder and praise sincerely, "Not bad."
Others nodded.
The director is worthy of being a director, and his vision in selecting people is indeed good.
Such performance is no worse than Zhan Pengfei*, who was favored by investors.
[*Sai: I don't know which is the correct name of the child star, Pei Feipeng or Zhan Peifeng, the author seems to have forgotten about him.]
A month later, "Great Wu Dynasty" officially started filming.
This drama has been the focus of everyone since the beginning of preparation. Many fans of celebrities have been eyeing this drama, hoping that their own steamed cooking can get in to get some qualifications.
But unfortunately, except for a few popular stars who graduated from professional schools, other traffic stars have no chance to act in this drama.
In this case, Su Xinghe is particularly eye-catching.
On the day of the start of filming, as the young male lead, he was the target of the media's interviews.
The crew allowed the media to take photos publicly, but there was no interview session because filming would start immediately after the start of filming.
Su Xinghe wore a costume. Unlike idol dramas, the costumes of historical dramas naturally try to restore the customs and rituals of that time.
Today's drama is about offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, so Su Xinghe wore a royal robe. As the prince of a country, he wore a white gauze middle singlet and a black dress, which were embroidered with nine patterns such as dragons, mountains, insects, and fire. He wore accessories such as nine white beads. Although he did not wear a crown for the time being, the whole person standing there was already afraid to look directly at him.
In the photo, his face is that of a teenager. If he is said to be thirteen or fourteen years old, no one will question it.
But his momentum was something that no one dared to underestimate. He was different from an ordinary young man. Standing there, there was no doubt that he was the Crown Prince!
This character is different from Su Zezhi and even more different from Qiu Xuan.
He is a man who can turn his hands into clouds and rain. He is a hero in today's world, and he is also the leader of a country that can rule the world and create a prosperous age.
Such a person, even in his youth, is already remarkable.
His back was straight, and his eyes were staring straight ahead without any dodge. He was full of energy, but this energy was not frivolous but made people feel extremely stable.
Because his self-confidence is not vain, he believes that he relies on himself, not anything else.
Therefore, his eyes are very firm, so firm that they can even infect the people around him.
In addition to him, the same is true for Gao Xinhong next to him.
The two are of different ages and have different looks, but strangely, everyone feels that their temperaments are very similar—they have the same posture and eyes.
The media couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the photos in their hands. They also interviewed many crew members. Most of the actors in the opening photos were not in the state. The state in the photos seemed to be on an outing, loose and without any energy.
But the "Great Wu Dynasty" is different. They all wear costumes, including the emperor, ministers, and ladies. Without exception, they all fit the status of the characters very well.
Especially the two Wu Yus, they really make people applaud.
A teenager and a middle-aged man overlap inexplicably as if the emperor a thousand years ago walked out of the history book and was looking at everyone through the photo.
It makes people have goosebumps all over their bodies.
Sometimes the effect of a drama can be seen in the details.
Sure enough, this start-up photo was uploaded to the Internet, and the people who were questioning the crew before suddenly shut up.
Other veteran actors and actors who graduated from professional schools are fine, but Su Xinghe really gave people a surprise.
Everyone knows him from the role of a noble son in "Full Palace". His acting skills are indeed good, and he interprets the temperament of a noble son very well. However, a noble son is a noble son, and a prince of a country, especially the youth of a prosperous monarch, are two completely different concepts.
That's why everyone is worried about whether Su Xinghe can interpret such a role.
Many young actors have played princes or even emperors, but they look like embroidered pillows, and they can't be emperors even if they wear dragon robes.
It's not that their acting skills are bad, but their temperament is not suitable.
People who live in luxury and privilege cannot be trained for a short time. No matter how good the actors are, if they don't have much life experience, they don't know who to imitate.
Gao Xinhong, the veteran actor who played Wu Yu in "The Great Wu Dynasty", had originally made his debut as an emperor, and his family background was extraordinary, but Su Xinghe was really surprising.
A 19-year-old boy standing there has the bearing and demeanor of a prince and is completely different from the previous Su Zezhi, which is really amazing.
Such talent, no wonder, no wonder.
Many people in the industry instantly understood why Lu Sheng chose him.
Su Xinghe himself did not expect that the debuff of the ancestor's elixir would help him so much.
He did try hard to interpret little Wu Yu, but it is undeniable that Di Jiang helped him a lot.
Di Jiang, some people say it is a god, some say it is a divine beast, some people record it as a ferocious beast, and some even say it is the son of Huangdi, but no matter which statement it is, its aura is not comparable to ordinary people.
Su Xinghe grew up in the mountains, so he naturally didn't have the aura of the Heavenly family, but Di Jiang did.
So when he put on little Wu Yu's costume, even he was in a trance, thinking that he really became little Wu Yu.
The director was even more surprised and pulled him aside to praise him.
Gao Xinhong was also very friendly to him. The two discussed a lot about Wu Yu during the reading: Wu Yu's growth process, Wu Yu's psychological changes, Wu Yu's habitual movements, and Wu Yu's various micro-expressions.
So when the filming started, the two looked so similar.
This was a month of meticulous polishing. Without this month of polishing, even if both of them were geniuses, they would not be able to interpret Wu Yu, the eternal emperor, well.
Therefore, Gao Xinhong did not miss the first scene today. In fact, he did not intend to miss any scene of Wu Yu.
Because Su Xinghe was not playing someone else, but the teenage and young adult period of the character he played.
He even communicated with Su Xinghe many times before the scene because the two of them had to reach a consensus so that Wu Yu would not be out of touch.
Although Su Xinghe had already filmed two dramas, it was obvious that the crew of "Great Wu Dynasty" was the most serious and professional crew he had ever worked with.
Compared to thinking about the "exam" alone, communicating with Gao Xinhong was obviously more helpful to him.
At this moment, the image of Wu Yu in his mind has become more and more concrete.
He reviewed the movements and lines in his mind, took a deep breath, and completely entered the state in the voice of the director.
In this scene, he follows the emperor to offer sacrifices to heaven.
The scene was very grand, and there were many extras.
Welcoming the gods, playing music, burning firewood—these processes had been rehearsed many times before, and there were no major mistakes.
Next was the ceremony, and the emperor, the prince, and all the officials had to kowtow.
He stood in his position and bowed deeply.
The camera gave him a close-up.
Under the nine-tasseled crown, there was a face full of ambition.
Of course, he was in awe of the world, but at this moment, he wanted to be the emperor who stood in the front and kneeled to worship the throne.
Therefore, at this moment when no one could see his face clearly, he revealed his ambition.
His father had just reprimanded him because of his younger brother.
He could only bear it, and even his rebuttal was so pale.
In his previous career as a prince who had everything he wanted, this was the first time he felt the powerlessness of a prince.
Yes, compared to the emperor, the prince was naturally powerless.
This annoyance and resentment took root in his heart, and until this moment, they gave birth to a deep desire for power.
Wu Yu in the camera couldn't help but glance at the emperor standing in front of him with his peripheral vision.
Everyone was kneeling, but the emperor had already stood up and began to place the sacrificial plate.
This is power.
Everyone kneels; only he has the power to stand.
This power the prince does not have, only the emperor has.
Thirteen-year-old Wu Yu can no longer stop the seed of power from taking root in his heart.
He lowered his eyes, covering all the emotions in his eyes.
He is the prince, and the emperor will be his sooner or later.
Don't worry, don't worry.
With the sound of etiquette, he kowtowed again.
This is Wu Yu's first sacrifice to heaven in the play.
After this, there will be two more sacrifices to heaven in the play.
The second time, he had already ascended the throne, in his prime, full of vigor and energy, as if the world were in his hands.
The last time, he was already very old, and when he washed his hands and ascended the stage, he glanced at the prince kneeling behind him from the corner of his eyes. In a place where no one could see, his eyes were full of jealousy and nostalgia.
He was jealous of the young prince and was nostalgic for the power in his hands and the life that was passing away.
He even began to recall whether his father had looked at him the same way when he was the prince.
However, in an instant, he understood his father.
These three times are a cycle of power.
Su Xinghe has completed the opening of this cycle.
He stood up and looked at Gao Xinhong standing next to the director.
In the warm winter sun, although Gao Xinhong did not wear a costume, Su Xinghe seemed to have seen the future Wu Yu.
It’s really good to act in this crew.
