Chapter 27
Filming of Ding Feng Bo Wraps Up
When Yingnian and others moved to the tent, Ling Suisui was putting on bloody makeup.
There were several bloody marks on her face, and her white undergarment was stained with blood from the props. In order to create the feeling of weakness as if he was about to die, Ling Suisui had not eaten anything or drunk any water since morning.
The previous scene had indeed exhausted her strength. She was now dry-mouthed, with an empty stomach, and she still had a long wait to go.
Zheng Wenjun asked her: "Sui Sui, you really don't want to drink water?"
"No." Ling Suisui was firm. "The filming will show the state of excessive blood loss. I can't still have a rosy and shiny face."
The director came over to take a look at her condition. Originally Ge Kun was worried that Ling Suisui had exhausted himself and would not look good on camera, but when Ling Suisui gasped slightly and gave him a look as if she was on her deathbed, he sat back with relief.
Ling Suisui's facial features are good enough that he can handle any pose. More importantly, her eye acting is particularly good, so after weighing the pros and cons, the director felt that he could give up the pursuit of exquisite pictures and focus more on vividness and naturalness.
Compared to some actors who only care about whether their looks are good or not and try desperately to find angles, Ling Suisui is truly a breath of fresh air in the industry.
Today, Ge Kun also hopes that she will become famous sooner.
Ying Nian's RV was parked outside, and the coordinator came over and said, "Teacher Ying, please wait here for a moment. I'll arrange for Guang to go over and locate it."
"No need." Ying Nian's assistant said, "This is the highlight, we'll go there right away. The artists need to get into the mood and find the feeling in advance."
The coordinator immediately praised: "Teacher Ying, you are so dedicated!"
The assistant laughed in his heart, what's the big deal? He just wanted to go and see Ling Suisui earlier.
Ever since Yingnian made his debut, he has had an assistant by his side. He had never seen one of his artists go so crazy over a female star.
Okay, but it's understandable. Ling Suisui is good-looking, and she looks even more gorgeous in ancient costumes. Yingnian has never been in a relationship in these years, so it is normal for him to have feelings for her.
Yingnian put on his costume and headed straight for Ling Suisui after entering the tent.
Ji Zhaoying and Xia Tian also came, but because they were going to shoot a sad scene later, they didn't want to disturb the actors' emotions, so they didn't go near the actors and just stood behind the monitor.
Ling Suisui had already put on battle-damaged makeup. Apart from a large wound on the left side of her face, there were also a few small bloodstains on other parts of her face.
There was blood around her mouth, and she would have to hold the prop plasma in her mouth later. Zheng Wenjun asked for her and found out that it was honey with food coloring mixed in with a little tomato juice.
After Ying Nian entered the scene, the director first filmed the scene of him rushing in to kill the enemy. While he was filming the fight scene, Ling Suisui was lying on the ground as a background board, providing Ying Nian with a direction for his eyes.
This martial arts scene was performed by Ying Nian himself, without using a body double. Ling Sui watched from the ground and thought he was fighting pretty well.
Of course, this "okay" is based on the comparison with various slow motions, fanning, turning around, and spinning in circles in domestic entertainment martial arts dramas.
At least Ying Nian was really imitating the martial arts actors, and his movements could be considered vigorous and powerful.
Ling Suisui watched and learned at the same time. The martial arts instructor hired by Yingnian is very good, and combined with Ge Kun's control of the camera, this segment will definitely look great.
Alas, she also wants to film such a cool martial arts scene, but she doesn’t know if she will have the chance to get such a role.
Feeling her gaze, Ying Nian became more excited when filming the action scenes. He originally wanted to show off his skills, but ended up being scolded by the director.
"What are you doing? Qin Xian is about to die, and you don't seem to be in a hurry at all!"
Year: ...
Ying Nian quickly returned to the role and found the feeling of anxiety to complete the fight scene.
The scene of him running towards Qin Xian was a rare one, because at this time Ling Suisui had been waiting for too long, and was really hungry, his lips were dry, and he lay on the ground with no strength.
Ying Nian really felt sorry for her. He knelt on one knee on the ground, hugged her carefully, and stroked her cheek with trembling hands.
He wanted to cry in this place, and tears would fall as soon as he opened his mouth.
In order to create this extremely sad emotion, Ying Nian spent a long time preparing for it and went over all the memory materials for crying scenes in his mind. A few minutes later, his eyes turned red and tears glistened in them.
Here it starts with a close-up, then turns to a close-up. The director arranged multiple cameras and asked them to shoot continuously first to get a feel for it.
Yingnian hugged her and cried, saying that he was late. And Qin Xian was really about to die at this time. Ling Sui opened her lips slightly, did not speak, just stared at him with her eyes, and tried to raise a smile at the corner of her mouth.
——This was something they had discussed in advance. Ling Suisui's smile at this time not only showed that Qin Xian loved Zhao Yan deeply and was relieved to see him return safely, but it was also a performance technique that used happy scenes to set off sad feelings and enhance the emotional impact.
Ling Suisui mouthed the words "Your Highness" and looked at Zhao Jing with eyes still full of love.
Compared to Yingnian who has to deal with many kinds of complex emotions, Ling Suisui has to take "love" to the extreme.
Qin Xian loves her husband and also loves the country that gave birth to her. She killed the enemy leader and achieved her goal. She was exhausted and could only hold on for one breath. She had no way to think about anything else.
In the last moments of her life, all she had left was her love for Zhao Yan and her passion for helping him restore the Central Plains and end the division.
Ling Sui's close-up has passed, and one more was saved. Judging from the average performance level of the Ding Feng Bo crew, she is the top student who gives the director the least worry.
Ying Nian hugged her and cried bitterly, crying until he was hoarse and his voice was hoarse.
But the director was not very satisfied with it, and his comment was that it was "not touching enough to the heart."
——Well, I just think his performance is superficial and doesn’t seem to be serious.
Yingnian cried five times in a row, but the effect was worse each time. It’s like revising a design countless times, only to find that none of them are as good as the first version.
Ling Sui was worried about him. He didn't control himself the first time he cried, and he didn't know how to adjust afterwards. The intense crying was a double drain on his physical and mental strength.
The director paused filming and came up to explain the scene to him.
Ge Kun gave him a lot of key points and asked him to think about how important Qin Xian was to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Ling was bullied since childhood, and it was Qin Xian who helped him chase away the bad kids; Zhao Ling was not valued and had no political capital, and it was Qin Xian who helped him make connections and the Qin family protected him;
His greatest wish before going to the battle was to drive away the enemy and reunite with Qin Xian as soon as possible, but after he devoted his life to the Kingdom of Li and escaped death, he discovered that the emperor not only failed to take care of and protect his family, but also forced Qin Xian to sacrifice her own life, and he was about to die.
The director almost broke down the relationship into pieces and told him about it. Yingnian's emotions were aroused again, but he cried twice and still couldn't achieve the effect the director wanted.
The producer was anxious and asked the director in a low voice: "Lao Ge, you've made the actors cry so much, how long will it take to shoot this scene?"
The cost of filming a movie is very high. Every extra shot is a waste of money!
Ge Kun was also helpless: "You also know that Xile and Yingnian's team want to use this drama to win awards... No matter what, there must be a highlight clip for marketing promotion, right?"
Although Yingnian is the 95-born student with the best resources, his traffic is not outstanding, his performance in online dramas and satellite TV dramas is not outstanding, and his top three movies have not been released yet. He is often in an awkward position in the inventory of 95-born students.
In order to push him to the top of the 95 students, or at least put him in the first tier, the team set their sights on mainstream awards to widen the gap with other male actors of the same age.
Awards can indeed be operated, but you can't let the judges vote blindly. You have to come up with some real examples that are recognized by the audience, so that everyone will be convinced of your award.
Otherwise, not only will no judges dare to help at the risk of ruining their reputation, but winning the award will not be a positive bonus for the actor, but will only lead to a backlash in public opinion.
Ge Kun's task was to capture the highlights of Ying Nian's acting. After much thought, he felt that this scene would be a breakthrough.
His co-actor is Ling Suisui, who not only does not drag the performance down but can also carry the male lead; Ying Nian himself also has a strong liking for her, making it easier for her to get into the role... Moreover, crying scenes are the most emotionally infectious, the most eye-catching, and easiest for the audience to empathize with.
If it were any other role, there wouldn't be such favorable conditions.
Producer: "I understand the reason, but if he keeps crying, his eyes will be damaged. How will we shoot the rest of the scenes? How will we explain this to his agent? If Ying Nian makes a mistake on the set, will his elders let us off?"
Ge Kun was also very annoyed. These annoying guys wanted everything, which made him feel very uncomfortable!
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to Xiao Ling and ask her to help Ying Nian get into the role. Sometimes, no matter how much the director says, it's not as good as the sparks that the actors create on their own."
The producer was skeptical: "You mean that lucky actress? Can she do it? She's a newcomer too."
"Of course I can. Don't worry." The director glanced at him and said, "Don't forget to repay them in the future. Think about it if you have any good resources."
The producer was skeptical and obviously didn't take it to heart.
Ge Kun snorted, believe it or not.
You may look down on her now because she is a newcomer, but when she becomes famous in the future, you may not be able to invite her!
Ge Kun walked over and said, "Two actors, adjust your state and find the feeling first before shooting."
In fact, it was Ying Nian’s crying scene that didn’t pass, but the director said “two actors”.
Ling Sui understood that she was asked to help take care of Ying Nian, but she couldn't say it out loud in order to save the male protagonist's face.
Ling Suisui: ...
Well, if this clip goes viral, it will be good for her. Even if Yingnian didn't include her name in the press release, her face wouldn't be blurred out, right?
The stagehands brought in two small stools, and Yingnian and Ling Suisui sat on them to touch up their makeup.
She finally drank some water, still using a straw. She had to continue with her acting and keep her lips dry.
Ying Nian was indeed tired from crying, and the fatigue in her eyes was particularly obvious. Ling Suisui moved her stool closer to him and said, "Can you hold me?"
Ying Nian responded to her request with action. He stretched out his left hand to hug her and let Ling Suisui's head rest on his shoulder.
He felt a little ashamed: "I'm sorry to ask you to accompany me over and over again. It's really me who held you back."
Ling Suisui shook his head. Yingnian’s acting skills weren’t actually that bad.
Those crying scenes just now would be fine in an idol drama, but the director has higher requirements and his team has higher expectations.
She threw her arms around his neck and snuggled into him. Ying Nian stroked her long hair and closed her eyes to try to find Zhao Ling's feeling.
He heard Ling Suisui say, "Have you ever thought about what happens after death?"
Yingnian didn’t know, he felt that the concept of death was too far away from him.
Ling Suisui raised her head and looked straight into his eyes.
"After I die, you will probably forget me soon. Because your life will be filled with new things, and the people and things in the past will not be so important anymore."
Ying Nian subconsciously denied: "No, don't use the first person..."
He was just about to say that this was unlucky when Ling Suisui stretched out his index finger and put it on his lips.
Her eyes sparkled with tears. She said, "You will definitely marry again, and someone else will become your wife. By then, the person in your arms will no longer be me."
Ling Sui's tears flowed down her cheeks. She looked sad and aggrieved, but even so, she was reluctant to speak to him in a blaming tone.
The immersive experience of being watched by her like this was too strong. Even though he knew it was just a plot setting, Ying Nian couldn't help but feel guilty.
He could only explain palely: "You are different. Your place in my heart can never be replaced."
He wanted to wipe away the tears from Ling Suisui's face, but the more he touched her, the more she couldn't stop crying.
Ling Suisui choked up and said, "I know, I know you should do this...but I...I haven't grown old with you yet...The sapling we planted in the courtyard hasn't even started to bloom and bear fruit..."
She pressed her face against his armor, feeling his arms gradually tightening, holding her tighter and tighter.
Ling Suisui cried and asked him: "Will you plant trees with others and hold her like this? When you have such memories with others, you will forget me and no longer need me."
"No." Ying Nian's eyes gradually filled with tears. He kept repeating, "No, I will never forget you. You are the only one I love the most."
The director picked up the walkie-talkie and asked all departments to hurry up and make adjustments and prepare for filming.
He had thought that Ling Sui was very strong, but he didn't expect her to be so strong. Could it be that this was the double buff of technical skills + Ying Nian's true love for her?
Ling Suisui continued to cry and said, "But you will form a new family and have children... You and I don't have children..."
"It doesn't matter even if you love someone else more... I just hope that you don't forget me..."
Ying Nian didn't want to listen anymore, so he interrupted her: "I don't want anyone else, I only want you. Stop talking, stop talking."
The fire was almost ready, Ling Sui raised her tear-stained face.
She looked at him calmly and gently stroked his face.
She said, “But I’m already dead.”
"Look, I'm bleeding a lot. I was stabbed to death by the enemy with a dagger. Every time I was stabbed, it hurt... I put poison on the blade, and every time I was stabbed, I felt like my body was about to break apart..."
Ling Suisui didn't actually get stabbed, but Yingnian's heart had been stabbed to pieces by her.
His emotions completely broke down and he cried loudly while hugging Ling Suisui.
The staff removed the stools they were sitting on and the camera was immediately in place. Ying Nian maintained her state and cried with extreme concentration and abandon.
Not only did he meet the director's requirement of "touching the soul", he even almost cried his soul away. He hugged Ling Suisui tightly and continued acting in a tone of extreme sadness.
The lines were the version they revised. After Ling Suisui said in a weak voice, "I would rather die than refuse my wish, Your Highness," Yingnian's emotions were also pushed to the highest point.
He swore to her with his life that he would never forget the ideal of expelling the barbarians and restoring the Central Plains, because this was their common ambition and pursuit. With this bond, no one can surpass Qin Xian's position in his heart.
Even after the scene was finished and the director called for a cut, Ying Nian was still very excited.
He held Ling Sui tightly in his arms, sobbing as he breathed. Seeing him like this, the two assistants were a little at a loss and hesitated to step forward.
Ling Suisui: "...Teacher Ying, please let me go. I feel very uncomfortable when you hold me like this."
After being reminded by her, Ying Nian's thoughts wandered back to reality.
He quickly let go of her hands and wanted to help her up, but Zheng Wenjun, who received Ling Suisui's eye signal, was one step ahead of him.
His left arm still retained her body temperature, but now she distanced herself from him.
Ying Nian felt a little lost. He wanted to say something, but felt it was inappropriate to start here.
Ji Zhaoying and Xia Tian walked over. Xia Tian was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, and no one knew where she came from.
"Happy wrap!" She gave the flowers to Ling Suisui.
Ling Sui had just wiped away her tears, and now she felt moved again.
She took a photo with her two friends holding a bouquet of flowers. Ying Nian also wanted to go over, but he suddenly realized that Xia Tian had given her flowers and Ji Zhaoying had taken out a gift box of building blocks from behind, but he had not prepared anything.
He looked at his assistant and whispered, "Why didn't you remind me?"
assistant:……
The assistant complained in his heart, why don’t you pay attention to the girl you want to pursue!
Even the director prepared two red envelopes for Ling Sui.
One was to celebrate her completion, and the other was because she was playing a "dead person" today, which was a tradition of the crew.
Ying Nian originally said that he would treat everyone to dinner tonight, but then he realized that it was not possible because he had to shoot a night scene today.
He could only sigh: "I'm sorry, I forgot to prepare a gift for you."
"It's okay." Ling Suisui said politely, "I have learned a lot from Teacher Ying during this period of time. It has been very helpful to me in all aspects."
Xia Tian: “For example…”
Before she could start sweet-talking, Ji Zhaoying quickly covered her mouth.
Year: ...
Thank you. Although Xia Tian didn’t say anything, he inexplicably felt that the lethality had become stronger.
After Ling Suisui changed out of her costume, everyone prepared to see her off.
Yingnian still has to film, so Ji Zhaoying and Xia Tian will have to stay in Hengdian for a few more days. Xia Tian was interested in this place, while Ji Zhaoying was interested in the gossips of the various crews (crossed out
Ling Suisui waved at them and said, "Just drop it off here. Wenjun and I are going back to the hotel to pack our luggage."
Xia Tian: "See you at the beginning of school."
Ji Zhaoying: "Although I'm not studying in the imperial capital, you're welcome to come to the magic city to play with me!"
Ling Suisui agreed with a smile. She looked at Yingnian and said goodbye to him.
Ying Nian looked at her blankly.
She finished filming and was leaving...
He felt that his consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred. But the sight of Ling Suisui turning and leaving made him feel an indescribable panic and resistance in his heart.
"Wait a minute!" Yingnian's voice was faster than his brain, "Sui Sui, don't leave yet."
His words were a bit abrupt, and Ji Zhaoying and Xia Tian's expressions were a bit subtle.
Xia Tian was about to say something, but Ying Nian interrupted her: "You two should go away first. Sui Sui and I have something to talk about."
summer:……
Her spellcasting has been interrupted twice today. Do these people really not want her to speak?
Tsk, a bunch of guys who can't stand the truth.
Ling Suisui sighed. Looking at Yingnian's attitude, he knew that it was useless to escape and the problem had to be solved head on.
She said, "It's okay, you guys go first. Wenjun, go buy me a bottle of water, I'm so thirsty."
Zheng Wenjun nodded and ran away. Are you kidding? She doesn't dare to stay in this scene.
Assistant Ying Nian also said: "She didn't know where to buy water, so I took her there."
After these four people were sent away, Yingnian and Ling Suisui were speechless for a while.
He thought for a long time before speaking: "Sui Sui, I..."
"What?" Ling Sui turned his head to look at him.
Ying Nian was in a state of confusion, so he simply followed the most direct idea: "I don't want you to leave."
Ling Suisui smiled and said, "But I've already finished filming. Qin Xian's story is over."
She said, "Ying Nian, your affection for me is just because you are too immersed in the role, plus we filmed such an emotional scene today. You can't bear to leave me, but it's actually Zhao Yan who can't bear to leave Qin Xian."
"……Yeah?"
Ying Nian took a half step forward: "No, it's not what you said, it's not just the role..."
"You need to calm down." Ling Suisui gestured to stop. "Many actors fall in love with a role, but they can't distinguish between the inside and outside of the play, the character and themselves."
"Ying Nian, when we are apart for a while, you will figure it out."
Her tone was so calm that Ying Nian also fell into self-doubt.
The person in front of him was wearing modern clothes, had taken off her hair bun, and removed her makeup... Her face was exactly the same as Qin Xian's.
But she was leaving, she wasn't filming here, and he wouldn't be able to see her for a long time... Thinking of this, Ying Nian's heart still felt like it was being grabbed by someone.
“I really…?”
How could he not tell the difference? When he thought of her in his heart, it was always Ling Suisui and never Qin Xian.
[Congratulations to the host, [Yingnian]'s favorability towards you has reached 100! 】
Ling Suisui paused.
She said in a very affirmative tone: "Well, you just haven't gotten over the drama yet."
The author has something to say:
Yingnian: I’m heartbroken, so sad QAQ
