Chapter 129 Rehearsal

Jun Qiulan practiced the two dances taught by Teacher Tang Qing over and over again.

Some time ago, no matter how busy I was, I would take time out every day to dance a few times.

I have almost turned these two dance moves into my muscle memory.

And there are the emotions that Yan Jing needs.

Jun Qiulan had an ancient dance teacher. After pondering the so-called emotions for so long, she was able to pass Yan Jing's test.

After watching Jun Qiulan dance, Yan Jing's eyes were filled with appreciation and satisfaction.

"I really don't understand. Your emotions when you dance are so on point, but when you're bullied and teased, your scenes always seem a little off."

Jun Qiulan didn't know what to say.

How similar are his identity and experience to that of the most noble young man in the capital?

Once upon a time, Jun Qiulan was also the renowned Crown Prince of Dasheng Capital, and his appearance was the topic of private conversation among the noble ladies in the capital.

However, their state of mind was completely different.

In other words, his state of mind was different from Yan Jing's.

He has never been able to perfectly express the emotions and feelings that Yan Jing wants, because the soul Yan Jing injected into this character with words is different.

But when he performed this role, his soul did not match the character's soul.

This led to a sense of emotional disconnection.

Intellectually speaking, Yan Jing is the creator of this character. Yan Jing should understand this character better, and he should perform it in Yan Jing's way.

But Yan Jing didn't want him to "act", but wanted him to truly integrate into the role.

Really get into the role.

Yan Jing looked at Jun Qiulan's little expression and couldn't help but rub his hair.

Well, it feels good, more comfortable than the one Jun Bai gave me.

Jun Qiulan was still thinking about the problem and didn't notice that he seemed to be taken advantage of.

Yan Jing looked at Jun Qiulan's ankle again and asked, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your foot?"

Jun Qiulan nodded: "I'm sure there are no problems at all."

As he spoke, he twisted his ankle a few times.

Yan Jing was also somewhat surprised by the efficacy of the folk remedy he mentioned.

You know, Yunnan Baiyao is really a good medicine on the market for bruises and injuries.

Even the prescription is state secret.

Unexpectedly, this folk remedy is more effective than this secret formula.

Yan Jing wanted to say that his teacher’s village had such a highly effective formula a few days ago. If it was contributed, the entire village would be able to get rid of poverty and become rich.

But Yan Jing also discovered a problem. Jun Qiulan didn't seem very willing to talk about things in his teacher's village.

The more secrets there were, the more curious he became, but at the same time, he was unable to ask.

He always felt that what Jun Qiulan had been hiding from him was beyond his imagination.

Both dances passed Yan Jing's test.

Yan Jing took him to see the set, and they talked as they walked: "This scene will start shooting in the evening."

Jun Qiulan thought there shouldn't be any problem.

Uncle Jin hasn't caused him any trouble recently.

He thought about it and decided that he must have been held up by Duan Wen and Huo Lan, and secondly, the war had started again.

Compared to him, the deposed crown prince, perhaps the explosives that appeared on the battlefield would interest Jin Guojiu more.

It just so happened that he could take a few days' break.

He couldn't escape meeting Uncle Jin after all, but at least it shouldn't delay his role.

He asked, "I learned two dances. Which one should I use during filming?"

Yan Jing smiled and said, "Of course I'll do both. We'll see which one is more suitable during the final editing."

Jun Qiulan nodded silently.

The set has been built.

As soon as Jun Qiulan walked in, he was held in place.

To a certain extent, Yan Jing's aesthetic taste is really amazing and very advanced, but it is not to the extent that ordinary people cannot understand it.

In short, it won't be too highbrow.

It is to the extent that everyone will be completely amazed when they see it.

Jun Qiulan looked at his father's calligraphy and paintings that were surrounded and hung in the middle of the stage.

He suddenly thought of a question: "Wei Xi, I remember there's a fire scene later on, is it here?"

Yan Jing couldn't help but laugh. He certainly knew what Jun Qiulan was worried about. "Don't worry, your teacher's works have all been reproduced. They won't be burned."

Jun Qiulan also breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that Yan Jing would burn all the paintings for the sake of the true meaning of art.

Although he had paid the money and the transaction was completed, he still couldn't bear to see his father's paintings turn into ashes.

Yan Jing continued, "During the filming, the entire venue was filled with candles."

Because the shooting is done in the evening to night time, the lighting issue needs to be taken into consideration.

In ancient times, there were no electric lights, only candlelight.

Coincidentally, the candle's halo is also suitable for constructing the light and shadow of the characters.

Jun Qiulan nodded silently.

By the time, all the actors involved in this scene were present.

Although it’s just a rehearsal now, all the makeup and styling are done properly.

Everyone's appearance, whether walking, sitting or lying down, must be in this style.

Let them start familiarizing themselves with everything about this scene now.

Jun Qiulan also changed her clothes and came out.

But he was wearing a windbreaker.

It looks a little bit out of place.

Jun Qiulan really didn't expect that this piece of clothing would be even cooler than a woman's belly hug.

Although she knew in advance that the dress would be somewhat revealing, Jun Qiulan accepted it. However, it was still a little awkward as it was her first time wearing it.

It was Liu Yue who saw it and quickly wrapped him in a windbreaker.

The weather is getting colder.

When Yan Jing saw it, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"The fact that you're wearing a coat now proves that you're feeling awkward. Wouldn't it be even more awkward to dance in this outfit during the actual photoshoot?"

Jun Qiulan was speechless and could only take off his coat and hand it to Liu Yue.

When he took off his clothes, the actors and staff on the scene laughed and cheered, but it was not a big deal. However, Jun Qiulan clearly felt that Yan Jing's eyes dimmed for a moment.

I always feel that this kind of look is very dangerous.

Like a predator spotting its prey.

Yan Jing's original idea was to have Jun Qiulan wear a white robe. He wanted him to maintain that pure white in such a dirty place and make the most handsome man in the capital into the image of Bai Yueguang.

But after watching the promotional video Jun Qiulan shot for local cultural tourism last year, he realized that Jun Qiulan was actually more suitable for red clothes.

The white clothes are just his appearance, the red clothes are his inner world.

Just like the feeling Jun Qiulan gave him.

After seeing it with his own eyes today, Yan Jing realized that there was indeed nothing wrong with his aesthetic taste.

The degree of compatibility between Jun Qiulan and the red dress, coupled with the special design of the clothes, almost perfectly achieved the "humiliation" that a nobleman was about to face.

It is probably human nature to have some destructive desire.

This is what Yan Jing is thinking now.

dirty.

Yan Jing lowered his eyes, calmed his mind, and then began to work.

In addition to the actors' performances, the cooperation of the staff also needs to be in place.

This rehearsal lasted for two full days.

During this period, Jun Qiulan wore this "sexy" red dress and repeatedly danced these two dances on the stage.

Gradually, he became immune to this set of clothes.

Anyway, they were all clothes, and only the waist and abdomen were exposed, and the legs were vaguely visible.

It's no big deal.

The men in the village and the soldiers in the military camp, when they go to the river to bathe in the summer, which one of them doesn’t do it in person?

The ancient people were conservative to a certain extent, but in some aspects, they were much more open than modern society.

"Alright." Yan Jing was finally satisfied. "We'll start the official filming tomorrow."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, from the hot summer to late autumn, the main actors, important supporting roles, and countless extras and staff were on the scene.

There are hundreds and thousands of them in total, and they have all had contact with other crews before, to a greater or lesser extent.

But this is the first time I have seen a director as rigorous as Yan Jing.

Perhaps this is why Yan Jing has won so many awards.

Once he relaxed, familiar actors came over to Jun Qiulan.

In the past two days, they have commented on Jun Qiulan's costume a lot.

Jun Qiulan went from being embarrassed at first to being used to it now.

Qu Feng came over and said, "I bet that after the movie is released, this scene of yours will definitely go viral on the Internet."

To the point of becoming a god with just one mirror.

Many actors can become popular on the Internet just because of a line or a shot in a play.

Of course, Jun Qiulan’s future is definitely more than this.

They have been working together for so long, and have known each other for so long. He has also been observing me on the set for so long.

Even though Jun Qiulan always asks for leave and Yan Jing indulges him, some people still complain privately that it is unfair.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yan Jing’s requirements for Jun Qiulan are actually higher than anyone else’s.

Everyone thought that the scenes were passable, so Yan Jing also took his time to polish Jun Qiulan, always feeling that he could perform better.

Of course, Jun Qiulan never lets Yan Jing down.

That is why the scenes where the two disagreed were delayed and not re-shot.

It’s not that Jun Qiulan is torturing Yan Jing, but Yan Jing is torturing Jun Qiulan.

In short, he felt that the two of them were arguing with each other over these scenes.

Jun Qiulan said with a smile: "Brother Feng's role is about to end, are there any plans for the future?"

Qu Feng said, "It's that variety show you participated in before. The second season is about to start."

He has not taken on any other movies or TV series for the time being.

After starring in Yan Jing's movie, he might be able to receive higher-level film contracts after the movie is released.

What he and his agent meant was that they should not be in a hurry and just use this variety show to maintain their exposure.

Jun Qiulan pursed her lips: "Brother Feng, can you take me with you?"

He also wants to find a variety show to be a regular guest.

Sister Xu Su received quite a few invitations, but the quality varied.

There are variety shows produced by major TV stations, but they may not be suitable for Jun Qiulan.

In the end, I haven't chosen the right one.

Qu Feng pondered for a moment, "I'll have to ask about this for you, but don't worry, I have a lot of resources here. I'll ask my agent to help you screen them, and then I'll contact your agent when the time comes."

Jun Qiulan nodded: "Thank you for troubling Brother Feng."

Qu Feng waved his hand. "You're always so polite. It makes me feel like our relationship isn't quite there yet."

To be honest, if it weren't for Jun Qiulan, he might not have been able to get the role in Yan Jing's movie.

Having been in the crew for so long, he couldn't see that Yan Jing really preferred to use new actors.

In short, new actors are more easily "trained". They are like a blank piece of paper. What content is written on it is all decided by director Yan Jing.

No matter what, he still owed Jun Qiulan a favor in this matter.

"By the way, didn't you plan to appear on the variety show before?"

Jun Qiulan didn't lie: "I have a lot of personal matters to attend to later. It's not appropriate to take leave frequently while filming. But I have to make money here, and didn't you say that I have to maintain my exposure?"

Qu Feng couldn't help laughing: "That's a good idea, and it's not suitable for you to continue taking on roles now. You can think about it after the movie is released."

His situation is exactly the same. Once the movie is released, Jun Qiulan's status will be different.

It may not be a good idea to rashly take on some TV dramas and movies now.

Jun Qiulan also understood this truth.

In addition to his work as an extra, he has actually been on quite a few crews, but after working with Yan Jing, he finally understood what a truly good work, a good director, and a good crew are like.

Who doesn’t want to work with a good director? Who doesn’t want to read a great script?

The higher you stand, the more opportunities you will have to come into contact with a team of this level.

Thinking of this, Jun Qiulan smiled again.

Maybe Yan Jing’s crew is an exception, after all, Yan Jing likes to use newcomers.

After the rehearsal, Yan Jing generously let them go back early to rest.

As soon as Jun Qiulan returned to ancient times, a voice came from the intercom.

It was Duan Wen calling, his tone was very urgent.

Jun Qiulan quickly called back, "Brother, calm down, what happened?"

Duan Wen: "Junior brother, the master has been taken away by Uncle Jin."

Jun Qiulan's mind was confused for a moment, "Why?"

"It's probably what happened that day at the city gate. Uncle Jin realized it was you who instigated it. Although he only invited you to have tea, I'm still worried that you might be in danger."

Su Changxun is just a scholar after all. Although he is wise, if Uncle Jin is determined to kill him, he will now be a criminal.

Jun Qiulan's eyes were filled with anger: "Have you contacted General Huo?"

"We've contacted them, but the Rong and Di tribes have regrouped today. General Huo has gone on an expedition, so we only sent a few people to find Uncle Jin and hand over the people. The results are not ideal."

Jun Qiulan knew clearly that Mr. Su was implicated by him.

In fact, Jin Guojiu's ultimate goal was to find him.

It might be because Senior Brother Duan and General Huo were both trying to help him, and Uncle Jin couldn't find his family, so he used Mr. Su to threaten him.

Jun Qiulan: "Brother, don't be anxious. Uncle Jin's target is me. Go ask him what he means. If you want to meet, then we can meet."

There's no escape after all.

Furthermore, the promised food and fodder has been gradually brought into the city these days, but only two or three carts of food are delivered every day.

That's far from enough.

Jin Guojiu insisted that the food and fodder had to be collected from all over the country, and it would take time. He was not sure when all the food would be delivered.

The reason was so plausible that they couldn't find any reason to refute it.

However, it is obvious that Jin Guojiu also wants to use food and supplies to control them.

Just today, General Huo had just led his troops to war when Uncle Jin attacked Mr. Su.

They can't continue to be so passive.

It would be better to capture Jin Guojiu directly and use some means to force him to send all the food and supplies over as soon as possible.

If it really doesn't work, we can just throw away the food.

Don't be taken advantage of because of this.

Duan Wen was also hesitant. On one side was his teacher who had been very kind to him, and on the other side was his junior fellow apprentice, who was also the leader who would lead them into a new world.

No matter which of the two people was involved, it was not what he wanted.

Jun Qiulan guessed his thoughts: "Brother, don't worry. I have a way to save my life. I will definitely be able to escape unscathed. Besides, General Huo also left me a small team of troops. If a fight really breaks out, the people brought by Uncle Jin may not be our opponents."

Duan Wen sighed, "Okay, I'll go over there and see what he means."

The two ended the call. Jun Qiulan thought about it and called Wan'er and her father to confirm their safety.

Fortunately, they left early.

Jun Shuwan: "Brother, don't worry, Sister Miao'er and I are both with Doctor Xu. We have gained a lot in the past few days. Master Xu is really amazing."

Hearing his sister's voice, Jun Qiulan felt relieved.

"Remember, don't go down the mountain recently."

"I understand." Jun Shuwan said, "It's quite safe here with Doctor Xu. Brother, please be careful too. If you encounter danger, don't worry about other problems. You are more important."

A smile appeared on Jun Qiulan's lips. "Brother knows. When you are free, you can contact Mom and Dad to confirm their safety."

"I know. It's good to have a walkie-talkie. We can contact each other every morning and evening to let them know we're safe. Don't worry, brother."

Jun Qiulan agreed, let her rest early, and then contacted her parents.

Things are also going well for my parents. They live in the valley, have no worries about food and clothing, and the whole family is together.

The only thing I worry about is Jun Qiulan's safety.

But fortunately, Jun Qiulan's ability to travel through time and space is the key to his survival.

As long as that mysterious force did not suddenly take back his ability, he would always be able to save his life.

The next day, news finally came from Duan Wen.

That uncle Jin is simply a shameless person.

Ever since the day that Uncle Jin came into the city and talked about wanting to taste the delicacies and beauties of the border town, Huo Lian directly transferred away all the maids serving in the residence arranged for Uncle Jin.

Only some burly old women and burly servants were left.

Even in this situation, it is impossible for Uncle Jin to eat anything he wants.

I want to go to a place with fireworks, but unfortunately, the government has completely banned all the brothels in the border town some time ago.

Those who are willing to live a normal life have basically started to do serious work.

Those who were unwilling were given severance pay, and many of them went directly to other places to make a living.

There are no girls or boys doing that kind of business in the city.

If you want to forcibly abduct a woman.

This is Huo Lan's territory.

Uncle Jin had to come to the border town this time. In addition to wanting to see the situation on Jun Qiulan's side, he actually also had the intention of winning over Huo Lan.

As for the eldest prince, although he seems to be the most likely to inherit the throne, he is only the most likely.

This is possible, there are too many uncertainties.

The other princes had relatives from families with a history of hundreds of years, and relatives who were military generals.

Unfortunately, Jin Guojiu's family background is not very strong, and they do not have the support of military power.

By then, even if the eldest prince sits on the throne, it is not certain whether he can hold the position firmly.

Huo Lian, who used to not care about court affairs and only knew how to fight wars, had no involvement with the other princes' relatives, making him the easiest target to win over.

So at this time, Uncle Jin would not offend Huo Lan over such a small matter.

The message that Jin Guojiu conveyed to Duan Wen now was the same as what he said at the city gate.

Invite Jun Qiulan and Jun Shuwan, brother and sister, to play piano and chess to pass the time.

Jun Qiulan almost crushed the walkie-talkie in his hand.

Such an insult...

Fortunately, Wan'er has already gone to see Doctor Xu.

As for himself, he had to go there no matter what.

Jun Qiulan: "Did he say when?"

It’s definitely not possible today, as the dancing scenes have to be filmed this evening.

"He said today," Duan Wen said.

Jun Qiulan: "Brother, I have something important to do today."

It is impossible to stand up Yan Jing's crew at this time, but Mr. Su cannot help but go to rescue them.

He continued, "Can you find a way to hold on for another day while I finish my business over there today?"

Duan Wen: "I told him that you often go into the mountains to hunt, and you might not be able to find anyone. I asked him to give you some time, but he just said tomorrow night at the latest."

Jun Qiulan breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, Senior Brother, don't answer him yet. If he asks, just tell him that he sent someone to the mountains to find me. I will be there on time tomorrow night."

Duan Wen said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. Master is very wise. The situation over there has stabilized, and Master is not in danger for the time being."

Remind Jun Qiulan not to take too many risks.

Jun Qiulan knew Brother Duan's good intentions. "Recently, Brother has asked the comrades in the city to take shelter for a while and not to directly clash with Uncle Jin's men."

Jin Guojiu has been here for several days. He is not as indifferent as Wang Shuo. He is accompanied by his staff and retainers, so he must have heard some news.

They haven't taken any action yet, probably because they just want to take him down directly. The rest of the people will just be scattered guerrillas and won't be a force to be reckoned with.

Or he could send someone to send a letter back, probably still waiting for news, but how could Huo Yan let the news about Uncle Jin spread?

This also concerns the safety of Huo Lian's family in Beijing.

Jun Qiulan quickly sorted out the current situation in his mind. After ending the call with Duan Wen, he went directly to the crew.

We're shooting today.

According to Yan Jing, it would be best to complete the shooting today instead of wasting time again and again.

The main reason is that Yan Jing has very high requirements for lighting.

After checking the weather forecast, today is the last sunny day, and then there will be a week of continuous cooling and rain.

The feeling of light in the evening on a rainy day and in the evening on a sunny day cannot be changed or adjusted simply by using modern technology.

The crew was busy discussing today's scenes.

The filming of this movie has reached the middle stage. If everything goes well, it may be completed before the New Year, and they can all go home to celebrate the New Year happily.

Jun Qiulan thought so too.

He actually doesn't have many scenes left. After today's scene, he has one final big scene to close.

In the middle, he appeared a few times sporadically, and he didn't necessarily have any lines.

But the key point is that Yan Jing said he wanted to change his final scene, but he still hasn't given it to him.

-----------------------

The author has something to say: They should be exposed in the next two days. Guess how they will be exposed?

Hehehe. [dog head][dog head][dog head]
