Wearing a Chinese entertainment uniform, I'm too handsome, so it's normal to be a bit of a

Chapter 12 Meng Ziyi: Explain yourself, little brother! Suddenly you're limping!

Lunch break time.

Han Xian took two boxed lunches, found a place to sit down, and started eating.

The investment in "God of War Zhao Zilong" was as high as 200 million yuan. Han Xian didn't know where all that money went, but he thought the boxed lunch was pretty good.

Braised lion's head meatballs, braised pork belly, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and egg drop soup with visible eggs.

Whether it's meat dishes or vegetarian dishes, they all taste pretty good.

Meat first, then vegetables, and finally some braised pork to eat last – this is a habit from those who have lived through hard times.

"Han Xian!!!"

Meng Ziyi then mysteriously approached Han Xian again.

She called out once and then fell silent, scrutinizing Han Xian carefully from head to toe with her large, watery eyes, as if she were seeing him for the first time!

He's still so handsome.

But I didn't see any murderous aura that could terrify people.

Han Xian instinctively protected the lunchbox in his hand, "The lunchbox is right behind you, go get it if you want to eat, and while you're at it, get me a bowl of egg drop soup."

Case solved!

That possessive behavior towards food, that killer gaze, it's all a complete lie!

Meng Ziyi couldn't help but give her a cute, wide-eyed roll. "I told you last night when we were eating barbecue that I'm on a diet, and I wouldn't steal your lunchbox!"

Another diet?

Han Xian looked at Meng Ziyi in her ancient costume, and her curvaceous figure in "Peach Blossom Village" and her classic fair skin images floated into his mind.

With such a great figure, why do you need to lose weight?

No wonder he's so popular; when it comes to self-discipline, he can't compare to Sister Meng!

Meng Ziyi squatted down next to Han Xian, gently nudged him, and whispered, "I heard that your action troupe has a crazy actor on their end. Just one look from him was enough to make Director Cheng yell 'cut,' the entire directing team was terrified, and the male lead almost fell off his horse!"

Han Xian took a bite of food and mumbled, "Where did you hear this rumor from? How come I didn't know about it?"

Is there a madman in the action scenes crew?

The action scenes are mostly performed by stuntmen, so the action sequences are definitely no problem.

But when it comes to acting skills, it's impossible to reach the level of a "drama fanatic," unless you're one of the Seven Little Fortunes!

Meng Ziyi chuckled, "I heard that the 'drama maniac' isn't a stuntman in the action troupe, but an extra. You should have heard of his new role—the flag bearer of the Yamen Army."

Ok?

Flag bearer of the Yamen Army?

That's not his role?

Han Xian paused, then suddenly realized, "Beautiful Meng, the 'drama maniac' you're talking about isn't me, is it?"

"Otherwise what? Besides you, is there another standard-bearer in the action scenes crew? You're quite something, aren't you? You've only been on set for two days, and your fame is almost overshadowing the male and female leads!"

Meng Ziyi slightly raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes smiling.

From the moment Han Xian taught her how to play Shi Yan well, she knew that Han Xian's acting skills must be excellent.

She never expected Han Xian's acting skills to be so frightening.

She had previously heard that the madman in the action scenes was named Han Xian, and she thought it was just someone with the same name.

Because she felt that Han Xian's acting skills might be very good, but they probably didn't reach the level of a "drama fanatic," since "drama fanatics" are usually veteran actors who have been in the industry for more than ten years, which is not related to Han Xian!

But the image of the madman they described seemed exactly like Han Xian. They spoke as if they were there themselves, so she became skeptical.

She could make anyone cry, even playing a corpse, and throw the entire crew into chaos.

It's understandable that he played a flag bearer in the Yamen Army, which scared the entire production team and nearly caused the male lead, Lin Zhenxin, to fall off his horse.

Han Xian smirked, "Don't listen to those people's nonsense, it's completely untrue!"

Meng Ziyi narrowed her beautiful eyes. "All rumors? Are you sure?"

"All Director Cheng did was yell 'cut,' nothing like the entire directing team being scared to death, or the male lead almost falling off his horse!"

"Those people also said that Lin Zhenxin called you 'brother' right after that scene ended, but that's not true either?"

"Of course not! Lin Zhenxin is a rising star, how could he possibly call an extra like me 'brother'? Absolutely not!"

"Brother Xian! So you're here! I've finally found you."

Lin Zhenxin walked over cheerfully, greeted Meng Ziyi, and placed the six cups of hot orange juice she was carrying next to Han Xian.

"..."

Meng Ziyi remained silent, just smiling at Han Xian with her lips pursed, her eyes full of amusement.

Didn't you say Lin Zhenxin didn't call you "brother"?

What's going on, little bro?

Sister Meng, am I hallucinating?

Uh……

It's not a hallucination!

He was so handsome that he completely overshadowed Lin Zhenxin, which is why Lin Zhenxin respected him!

Han Xian grinned at Lin Zhenxin, "Brother, can you stop calling me 'brother'? I've already said you're older than me, I should be calling you 'brother'!"

Lin Zhenxin smiled. "Don't we Northeasterners always greet each other by calling each other 'brother' or 'sister,' right, Sister Meng?"

"Uh-huh!"

Meng Ziyi nodded, still smiling as she looked at Han Xian.

People from Northeast China do indeed greet each other by calling each other "brother" or "sister".

Yesterday morning, Han Xian invited her to breakfast and called her Sister Meng.

But this Sister Meng is not the same as Brother Xian of Han Xian.

One was a casual nickname, and the other was a deliberately chosen name.

Right, Brother Xian?

Han Xian: "..."

Why does it feel like some strange boomerang spun around and hit me?

He opened a glass of orange juice and handed it to Meng Ziyi to shut her up, then said to Lin Zhenxin, "You're a professional actor and rising star who graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, asking me, an extra, for acting advice? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Lin Zhenxin said with lingering fear, "As the saying goes, there is no order of learning; the one who achieves it is the teacher. Thinking about that look in your eyes just now still makes me scared, and I really want to ask you how to use your eyes to break character."

He had a lot of questions to ask about that look that had terrified him.

There are many actors in the film and television industry who can convey emotions through their eyes, but those are all veteran actors.

Han Xian has only been in the industry for a few days, starting as an extra.

How can someone display such a captivating gaze in such a short time?

He genuinely wanted to know if there was some quick and easy secret to it.

Han Xian: "..."

Knew it!

The male protagonists in novels are all born with an aura; no matter how humble they are, they will automatically radiate a rainbow of light, like the brightest star in the night sky.

It's likely we'll rarely hear that assessment of him as having nothing to do except be handsome anymore.

Han Xian searched his mind for knowledge about the acting skills of male leads in period dramas, and after some deliberation, he said in a half-truthful tone.

"I have never studied acting and do not know how to act, so I tried to put myself in the battle-ready state of the flag bearer. The flag is the flag and I am the flag bearer; if I am not the flag, I will die. I look around and there are enemies everywhere."

"Substitution?"

Lin Zhenxin seemed to be deep in thought.

Simply put, performance can be divided into three styles: experiential learning, method acting, and performance acting.

The experiential learning approach involves firsthand experience, gaining a genuine sense of hearing, seeing, and feeling.

The method approach, also known as the academic approach, involves hands-on teaching by experiential educators.

Expressionism involves creating a fictional character and immersing oneself in it; it's also called fantasy.

Han Xian's method of immersion is the third type of performance – the performance style.

Director Cheng said that his portrayal of Zhao Yun was handsome enough, but while handsome, he lacked soul. Was it because he didn't immerse himself in the role of Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong?

Lin Zhenxin pondered it carefully for a while, and his eyes gradually lit up.

He thanked Han Xian sincerely, then left with a big smile and excitement, clearly having gained something from the experience.

Of course, before leaving, Lin Zhenxin added Han Xianwei on WeChat and transferred 5,000 yuan to him, saying it was for the cost of consulting him. This was obviously a price she had found out from Meng Ziyi or her female assistant.

Knowing that Lin Zhenxin was not short of money, Han Xian did not refuse and accepted it without hesitation.

"Hmph hmph hmph!"

Meng Ziyi stared at Han Xian with eyes that seemed to see through everything, but smiled and remained silent.

What's going on, little bro?

Lin Chengxin not only calls you Brother Xian, but also asks you for advice on acting, and you even gain some insights from it.

This is something I, Sister Meng, saw with my own eyes; it's not that I'm hallucinating again!

Han Xian ignored Meng Ziyi and continued to eat his rice, taking sips of fresh orange juice after every few bites.

Although Lin Zhengxin was a bit of a jerk, the fresh orange juice he brought was quite delicious, sweet and sour, refreshing and tasty!

uh-huh!

Meng Ziyi pouted. "Don't you have anything to say?"

Han Xian raised an eyebrow. "What did you say?"

"Why is your acting even better than I imagined? Not only can you teach me and Lin Zhenxin, but you can even intimidate the entire crew with just one look. I'm starting to suspect that you came to the set to experience life."

"You don't actually believe what I just said, do you?"

"Otherwise what? Did you just say all that to fool Lin Zhenxin?"

"You got it right!"

"Impossible! I found everything you said helpful. How could you possibly be trying to fool Lin Gengxin? It's impossible!"

"..."

Han Xian didn't want to talk anymore.

Can you gain something from a half-truthful, half-lie lie?

Is it because the academic school is too strong, or is it because Meng Ziyi, the harem heroine, is destined to become famous, and therefore has an exceptionally strong ability to understand?

Snapped!

Han Xian finished the last bite of braised pork, closed the lunchbox, and gulped down the remaining orange juice. "I'm going to the action scenes crew. You go back to the drama scenes crew and continue filming."

Meng Ziyi stood up. "I'll go with you."

"Don't you have any acting jobs?"

"With your guidance, my filming went much smoother. I usually only needed one or two takes. The morning's scenes are already finished, and I don't have any scenes to film this afternoon."

Meng Ziyi smiled proudly, her lips curling up and her eyes crinkling.

Han Xian: "..."

The requirements for idol dramas are indeed low; even a newbie can get it right in one take.

Of course, the status of the celebrities also plays a role.

"God of War Zhao Yun" is an idol drama that focuses on the male lead, so the requirements for the male lead Lin Zhenxin's screen time will definitely be higher.

As for Meng Ziyi, an obscure supporting actress, she's good enough for me!
