Chapter 598: Chapter 596: Person in the Play [Third Update]

”Alright, cut the crap! Everyone, get ready!” Lu Xiaobu continued.

At his command, everyone dispersed.

Those who needed make-up did so, and those who needed to rehearse busied themselves with it, quite enjoyably so.

The specifics were taken care of by Chen Feiyang’s team, not something for Lu Xiaobu to worry about; he had to make more overarching decisions!

Therefore, Lu Xiaobu went to see how the main actors were doing.

”Young Master Bu.”

When the lead actors saw Lu Xiaobu coming, they all stood up and put down their self-written character biographies, respectfully calling out to him.

These past few days, they had been busy with this task. They of course knew the parts in the script, but what they needed to do was write out and deeply contemplate the things not included in the script.

Take the character of Li Yunlong, for example; the script mentions he was a bamboo weaver in his hometown.

So the actor playing Li Yunlong, Qiao Kong, needed to write that.

Hmm, what was Li Yunlong’s family life like when he was young? What were his parents like?

Did he get into fights as a child? How did he fight?

At what age did he start learning his craft?

What was his state when he was learning his craft?

What was his teacher like?

Did the teacher ever get so annoyed with him that he jumped with rage?

These are all things they needed to think about, or rather, create. Only by doing this could they truly understand the character, become immersed in it, until they became the character!

Even Chen Feiyang, upon seeing these efforts, praised them immensely: ”Old stuntmen indeed, modern actors hardly do this anymore!”

He was genuinely moved; Young Master Bu was excellent at choosing people!

Do you know?

One of the younger actors was assigned the role of the gunner—Zhu Zi—who appeared in the first episode!

The one who was promised half a jin of sweet potato liquor by Li Yunlong, and then was killed right after firing a shot!

Do you know? Even for such a short-lived character who doesn’t survive the first episode, they are seriously writing a biography!

Tell me, with such dedicated actors, how could the show not be a hit?!

Chen Feiyang felt certain Young Master Bu would reveal a satisfied expression!

But!

Upon hearing this greeting, Lu Xiaobu’s face instantly darkened: ”What the hell is everyone doing?!”

This angered outburst shocked everyone!

Apart from fear, they were even more perplexed.

Where did they go wrong?!

Then, they saw Lu Xiaobu deliver a slap that sent the character biography in Qiao Kong’s hands flying.

Lu Xiaobu stared coldly at Qiao Kong: ”Who are you?!”

At this moment, Lu Xiaobu’s face no longer had the warmth from before, but was filled with dissatisfaction!

”I, I’m Qiao Kong!”

Qiao Kong was both panicked and afraid.

He didn’t know how he had managed to offend Young Master!

”Bullshit! You’re Li Yunlong right now! Does Li Yunlong look like this to you?! Ah! Greeting me? Who am I? Would Li Yunlong greet me?!”

Lu Xiaobu’s scolding echoed throughout the room.

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, everyone instantly understood why he was so furious!

It was because of their belated immersion into their roles!

At that moment, a wave of guilt surged in their hearts.

Yes, this wasn’t just normal acting, this was a battle, a battle with their backs to the river.

They hadn’t done enough, it still wasn’t enough!

They had so much more to do!!

So at this moment, everyone’s gaze began to change.

Especially Qiao Kong, whose change was particularly noticeable, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

It was a fierce look, but it also carried a hint of slyness, and he glared at Lu Xiaobu:

”You motherfucker, are you trying to rebel?! I am the leader of the Independent Group! Usual times I let you have your way, but once the gunfire starts, everyone in the group has to listen to me!”

”Good, very good!” Lu Xiaobu finally revealed a satisfied expression and turned to leave.

This idea had just popped into his head the moment he opened the door!

Seeing Lu Xiaobu leave, everyone in the room looked at his retreating figure with admiration!

Young Master Bu is really awesome!

However, this feeling quickly dissipated, as they had to carry out Lu Xiaobu’s orders now!

They were the people in the play, not merely acting that person!

This was the best way to repay Young Master Bu!

They even casually assigned a role to Lu Xiaobu, using the scene just now for a quick rehearsal to familiarize with their roles.

Qiao Kong (Li Yunlong): ”You sons of bitches have really turned the world upside down!”

Kong Jie (Shan Tianxiang): ”Hey, Old Li, cool it.”

”...”

Listening to the bustling voices inside, Chen Feiyang revealed a thoughtful expression.

To tell the truth, the state that Young Master Bu demanded was not groundbreaking.

In the American film industry, this state is a very common and widespread practice.

This isn’t about idolizing foreign cultures, it’s just stating a fact.

Mainly in America, their culture advocates for this kind of approach.

A plethora of award-winning, impressive actors, they’re always in character, even before shooting or even in their daily lives.

For example, there was once a very famous actor who was to play a fierce Native American.

He insisted that everyone on set treat him as a real Native American.

Because of this, he even managed to drive his agent away!

Moreover, once during a meal on set, he persistently provoked everyone.

At that time, the entire cast was fed up with him, and another star who acted with him ended up breaking his nose!

This is a state often seen in the American film and television industry.

However, such a state is very rare, or even nonexistent, in our country.

This isn’t a question of professionalism, but of cultural differences.

Not everyone, or rather almost no one can do what Young Master Bu does.

For example, just now, if someone else in power had been scolded by Qiao Kong, would they not get angry?

Of course, they would get angry! They might even rage!

Let alone others, even as a director, if he had been scolded by an actor, he doesn’t know if he could keep from getting angry!

However, Young Master Bu didn’t get angry, instead, he was very satisfied!

Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Xiaobu’s back and couldn’t help but give a silent thumbs up!

He had actually been a little bitter about Lu Xiaobu becoming the director while he was the assistant director.

But now, that bit of resentment had long since dissipated!

The role of chief director must be Young Master Bu’s!

He couldn’t do it!

The gap was too wide!

This wasn’t a gap in professionalism, but an unbridgeable gap!

”This time, it will definitely create a huge wave in the film industry, just like ’A Chinese Odyssey’!” Chen Feiyang clenched his fist, his eyes burning with boundless passion!

Definitely can do it! Absolutely!

Young Master Bu is certain to stir up the skies again!
