In the entertainment industry, the silly system claims it's the immortal realm.

Chapter 14: The Nine Heavens Soul-Capturing and Puppet Control Technique

Hengdian.

The atmosphere on the set of "14 Blades" was a little strange today.

Many people got up to watch the spectacle.

Even the thought of watching a good show.

The cause was director Zhang Li.

He suddenly appointed Wei Yi, a young assistant director who had recently joined the crew, to oversee the filming of a scene.

Regarding Wei Yi as a person.

Many people in the crew had different opinions.

The reason is quite simple.

First of all, he is only eighteen years old and a freshman in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

Besides making the news many times because he was the top scorer in the college entrance examination and went to Beijing Film Academy.

They have no other strength besides that.

And that's how he ended up being.

Because of Zhang Li's fondness.

He suddenly became the assistant director of the film crew, and even had real power and access to the monitor.

This made many people in the crew feel resentful.

There are people both behind the scenes and in front of the camera who are dissatisfied.

Zhang Li is one of the best directors of the fifth generation.

Only a handful of people, such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, are of higher rank than him.

Ironically, they were all his classmates and close friends.

Even if she was dissatisfied with Wei Yi, she had a different opinion in her heart.

So far, no one in the crew has dared to show their true colors in front of Zhang Li.

Say something.

Zhang Li and his group of fifth-generation directors, as long as they make it big.

Each of them was a person of great authority and control within their production team.

Now Zhang Li actually wants Wei Yi to do an internship.

No one in the "14 Blades" production team could stop it.

Neither Zhang Li nor Wei Yi could prevent these people from having the urge to watch the spectacle.

soon.

Filming begins.

Zhang Li stood to the side with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.

Wei Yi gritted his teeth and began working as a director.

At this moment, the actor standing in front of him was only thirty-seven years old.

Yet he can certainly be considered a veteran actor in the Central Academy of Drama.

His name is Huang Zhizhong, and he has previously given outstanding performances in TV series such as "Cao Cao", "The Grand Mansion Gate", and "Closer to You, Warmth to Me".

In the film "14 Blades", Huang Zhizhong played the head of the Eastern Depot.

It was actually Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Yi had him try out a scene earlier.

A veteran actor is a veteran actor; even if they are not formally trained, they still have acting skills.

However, they cannot escape the stereotype of having delicate fingers and speaking in a high-pitched voice.

"Card!"

Wei Yi called out and turned to look at Zhang Li.

The latter just smiled, watched him smile, without saying a word or giving any instructions.

Wei Yi had no choice but to say to Huang Zhizhong:

"Teacher Huang, although the character you played, Wei Zhongxian, is a eunuch, he must first and foremost be a 'person,' a man with ambition for power, not just a simple 'eunuch.'"

Huang Zhizhong was somewhat dismissive, feeling that Zhang Li was just playing along with Wei Yi's nonsense.

However, Zhang Li is currently standing by, and Huang Zhizhong doesn't dare to voice his opinions.

Huang Zhizhong said with a smile:

"Director Wei, this... if a eunuch doesn't look a bit effeminate, will the audience be able to tell?"

"Forehead……"

Wei Yi suddenly realized that what he said made sense.

In his view.

This is just an ordinary TV series with a moderate budget.

There's really no need to nitpick over the details.

Since Huang Zhizhong is playing a eunuch, let him have the stereotypical image of a eunuch.

It saves both time and shooting costs.

The audience can understand and accept it.

However, the required tension is very high.

Old Zhang wanted to film eunuchs who were neither effeminate nor stereotypical.

This is where Wei Yi, the director of the web series, falls into a knowledge gap.

He can use his special abilities to capture god-like, high-level shots.

However, this technique can only be applied to camera language and visual aspects.

In terms of directing and explaining scenes, he was only slightly better than a raw recruit.

Good thing...

Wei Yizheng was struggling with how to explain the concept of "living people".

Suddenly, a "ding" sounded in my mind.

The sand sculpture system's panel unfolds on the retina, shimmering with light:

[Detected that the host's cultivation of the "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Soul-Capturing Puppet Technique" is hindered; the mortal puppet's intelligence is currently obscured, unable to manifest 'true humanity.' It is recommended to spend 10 spiritual energy points to exchange for a True Word Talisman (fragment).]

Wei Yi rolled his eyes inwardly. This idiot is at it again.

What incantations or spells? They're probably just some Stanislavski-style modified version.

However, he has now achieved "dual cultivation" with Senior Sister Chen.

You can earn several spirit points a day.

Ten points of spiritual energy.

He can afford it now.

"Change, change, change," Wei Yi muttered to himself.

Instantly, a copy of "An Actor Prepares," with a worn cover and what appeared to be instant noodle oil stains, appeared in the system inventory. The system notification solemnly announced:

[The incantation is ready. This talisman contains the supreme mental techniques of the 'Experiential Learning' school, which can help mortal puppets break free from the constraints of stereotypes and bear the weight of the divine soul in a mortal body. (Click to use)]

Wei Yi silently clicked and operated the system.

Immediately afterward, the book "An Actor Prepares" disappeared from his system inventory.

His "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Soul-Capturing and Puppet Control Technique," which was originally only at level 0, suddenly increased to level 1.

He immediately knew how to get Huang Zhizhong to perform this scene.

"Teacher Huang, let's talk about Wei Zhongxian first. The Wei Zhongxian we've seen before was either portrayed with a white face or a fake voice."

With the system backing him up, Wei Yi's tone became more confident:

"Director Zhang only had one request for Teacher Huang: to portray Wei Zhongxian as a living, breathing person."

"In our drama, before Wei Zhongxian became the Nine Thousand Years Old, his love for Ke Yinyue was both domineering and humble."

"He castrated himself for power, but even more so so that he could protect the people he loved like a mad dog."

"Think about it, when he looked at Ke Yinyue, there were only two things in his eyes—a burning possessiveness and a deep-seated inferiority complex."

"So, I think you..."

"..."

Just as Wei Yi was giving Huang Zhizhong acting instructions, Wei Yi suddenly became incredibly skilled.

He himself was actually in the middle of the "stage".

Zhang Li was not the only one smiling and watching him.

The entire crew of "The Embroidered Uniform Guard," consisting of dozens of people, was watching him.

"Zhang'er, what do you think?"

"Not good at all. You call this acting instruction? In our school, this is at best the level of an art student, not even a freshman."

"Ha, keep your voice down. Besides... he's just a freshman!"

Left side of the film set.

Ma Yili plays the female lead, Ke Yinyue, in this film.

She was whispering to Wen Zhang, the actor who played the third male lead, Zhu Youxiao.

By this time, Ma Yili was already somewhat famous.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to play the female lead in this film.

At this moment, Wen Zhang, like the other actors who made cameo appearances at the Beijing Film Academy, was still a student.

The two played a couple in the drama, and now they are good friends.

The two are currently commenting on assistant director Wei Yi's acting skills.

One of them graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and the other is a student at the Central Academy of Drama.

Both of them were among the best students in school.

At this moment, watching Wei Yi's somewhat clumsy performance of the play, I actually looked down on him a bit.

However, Ma Yili's attitude was relatively milder.

Heraldry is a reflection of one's own personality.

In addition, he was somewhat envious and jealous of Zhang Li's special regard for Wei Yi.

The tone should naturally be relatively more aggressive.

"elder sister."

He lowered his voice and said to Ma Yili:

"I'm glad this guy didn't go to the Central Academy of Drama or the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Otherwise, wouldn't that have unnecessarily lowered the standards of both our schools?"

"That's not entirely true."

Ma Yili smiled gently, "After all, he's only a freshman in college. And the shots he took are really impressive."

"I feel like I..."

The emblem wanted to belittle it, but then it remembered the scenes that had been produced by Wei Yi, each one so perfect it was unbelievable.

For a moment, I found myself unable to bring myself to belittle Wei Yi's photography skills.

"I understand!"

Sudden.

Surrounded by people, Huang Zhizhong exclaimed, "Director Wei, thank you! I think I know how to act now!"

what?

The emblem looked at Ma Yili blankly, and Ma Yili was also a little confused.

This……

So Teacher Huang now knows how to act?

They just listened to Wei Yi's very ordinary speech.

It's nothing new; it's almost entirely just content from textbooks on how to talk about and direct plays.

Now you know how to act?
