Chapter 124: An imperial edict? Let's write him one!
In the next scene, the camera is focused on Shen Lang who is sitting high above the crowd!
"hiss……"
"hiss……"
Li and Xu both took a breath of cold air at the same time.
Shen Lang, dressed as a eunuch in a white robe and black cloak with a bright red lining, was sitting on a chair at an angle. His legs were relaxed and crossed, one arm was placed behind the chair, and in his hand he was holding a white handkerchief, gently pressing away the non-existent dirt from the corner of his lips.
He did not look at anyone, but at the ground in front of him. He seemed to be absent-minded about the interrogation in front of him, and did not care about the Minister of War writing a letter of remonstration to accuse him of something bad.
Shen Lang's acting is so good and relaxed that just with a relaxed sitting posture, he managed to portray the image of a powerful eunuch.
But this is not what surprised the two directors.
What surprised them was that Shen Lang's makeup on the monitor was so stunning.
Originally, if you looked closely, Shen Lang was a joke, but from a distance, the powdered whiteness, the drawn eyebrows and eye area, and most importantly, the sunburned redness of unknown color, all of which further demonstrated what is called... feminine.
Coupled with the action of pressing the white handkerchief to the mouth, it further deepens the viewer's first impression.
Li Huimin sighed: "Director Xu, it seems that I was wrong. Teacher Shen's styling is absolutely amazing! Especially the styling designed by Teacher Li Qiu for Teacher Shen has instantly engraved Cao Shaoqin's cold and feminine image into everyone's mind!"
Xu Ke sighed: "I think that Mr. Shen's look will become one of the most classic looks in our Chinese film industry in the future!"
The play is not over yet.
Shen Lang leaned on the chair, and the attributes of [Intermediate Villain Acting Skills] and [Sunflower Manual] kept flashing in his mind.
At this moment, it seemed as if every tiny movement he made was planned in advance.
Every line he spoke, down to every detail and syllable, was so precise as if he had rehearsed it countless times in advance.
All I heard was a lack of interest: "Master Yang...?"
Seeing this, Li Huimin quickly instructed the camera positions in front of the four cameras on the intercom: "Quick, keep shooting upwards, as high as possible!"
Shen Lang: "You are deliberately looking for trouble with me..."
In the monitor, the composition at this time is classic.
Shen Lang is high above, like a god who controls life and death in the world.
The two headmen faced the camera, looking at Yang Yuxuan with a fierce look, and then they bowed and looked at Cao Shaoqin who was sitting on the hall.
And at the very top of this composition, a wooden plaque with inscriptions was revealed... [The Imperial Court's Confidant].
The camera was still shooting from above. At this moment, Shen Lang waved his sleeves and said casually, "We, the eunuchs of the East Factory, have always been loyal to the emperor. You are slandering me and going against me like this. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
After all, Xu Ke and Li Huimin are famous directors who have been famous for many years.
It’s just a small adjustment of the camera position.
He used the camera to tell many stories.
A eunuch who claims to be loyal but is actually plotting a rebellion is dealing with the stumbling block that stands in his way of rebellion.
What’s funny is that above his head, there is a plaque with the words “Court Confidant” hanging!
How ironic?
At this time, the actor who played Yang Yuxuan was locked in a wooden yoke, covered in blood, and looked disheveled.
He said righteously: "According to the teachings of our ancestors, eunuchs cannot interfere in government affairs. You have set up your own court, killed loyal officials indiscriminately, and destroyed lives. You even dared to deceive the emperor. This is intolerable!"
What an infuriating scene!
Loyal people are imprisoned...
The camera turns,
It's still the same overhead shot from before. The treacherous villain is in a high position...
Shen Lang was still in the same posture, not moving at all.
At this time, the four big bosses were all glaring at Yang Yuxuan with hateful looks.
In the camera, Liu Xun, one of the four big bosses, looked cold and pointed at Yang Yuxuan, saying, "Still talking stubbornly, execute him..."
Yang Yuxuan was tortured and vomited blood.
The camera cut away, and this time, Shen Lang finally moved. After seeing Yang Yuxuan vomiting blood, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face, and he finally changed from leaning on the chair to sitting upright.
Even when he was sitting upright, his arms were still on the armrests of the chair. It was obvious that he had no sympathy for the tragedy happening in the hall.
Xu Ke noticed this detail from the surveillance camera.
He pointed at Xu He's relaxed hand and said, "Director Li, a good actor is a good actor. Every detail is handled perfectly. Look at Mr. Shen's hand and his expression. It's really perfect. It shows everything we designed the shot to express."
Li Huimin also nodded excitedly: "That's right, we really discussed these shots for a long time. I thought I had to explain to Teacher Shen what we wanted to express in and out of the camera, but who knew that he would naturally..."
Xu Ke sighed, "Alas... maybe this is an actor's understanding of the camera. It's really hard for me to imagine if Cao Shaoqin was played by someone else, would we still be able to be as worry-free as we are now!"
Li Huimin shook her head. "It's impossible. Even if the best actor were to act, without our explanation of the storyboard, they wouldn't be able to express our intentions as perfectly as Mr. Shen did."
Lin Xia was also surprised. Although she was considered a newcomer in the film and television industry, she had acted in several movies and was not a complete amateur.
It was the first time she saw an actor so relaxed on the set.
He was so relaxed that it felt like he wasn't acting at all.
Every movement, every expression, and even the sound of Shen Lang's voice made her feel as if she was there.
Lin Xia felt as if at this moment, she was standing on a certain day in the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, watching loyal ministers die and treacherous officials take power.
At this time, Shen Lang's lines interrupted Lin Xia's thoughts.
"Yang Yuxuan, I think you are getting more confused as you get older!" Shen Lang's face turned stern, and his eyes were like an eagle, staring at Yang Yuxuan in the hall.
"Hand over the military power!"
"I will spare your life!"
Shen Lang almost gritted his teeth as he spoke these two lines word by word.
At this time, the dying Yang Yuxuan said: "You bunch of...rebellious eunuchs..."
"Without the emperor's order, don't even think about me handing over my military power!"
When Yang Yuxuan said this, according to Xu Ke and Li Huimin's request, the monitor switched to Shen Lang's expression.
Shen Lang, who had been sitting upright just now, leaned back on the chair again after hearing these words, as if Cao Shaoqin, who was full of murderous intent just now, had put his sword back into the sheath.
He stared at Yang Yuxuan below, then took out a white handkerchief and wiped his mouth pretentiously, saying calmly, "You want an imperial edict? Come on, let's write one for him!"
After saying that, Shen Lang stared at the front, his arms resting on the armrest without moving, his fists clenched, and suddenly he pointed his index finger at Yang Yuxuan!
At this moment, all the extras on the scene, because of the lesson last time, did not dare to look at Shen Lang who was in the hall.
But they were all shocked by the contempt for imperial power in Shen Lang's words.
How could a dead eunuch be so bold?
However, the most shocking people were actually Xu and Li.
The moment Shen Lang in the monitor extended his index finger, Cao Shaoqin - came back to life!
Starting from tomorrow, stable updates, six thousand per day!
I’m posting this here as proof!
There's one more chapter today!
