Li Changsi's acting skills were beyond everyone's expectations. In addition, Zheng Han acted in this drama according to the standards of movies, and every shot was extremely beautiful.
A retro and literary girl holds a bunch of white roses blooming in the early morning and walks on the streets of the ancient city in the cultural district where time has settled. She amazes the silent time, as if Gu Tingyu in the play has walked out vividly.
The crew members who were hastily put together were shocked. The temperament, emotions, and micro-expressions were all just right, and there was a sense of mystery that could not be brought out by acting skills. Is Li Changsi really not a professional actor?
Zheng Han looked at the camera with red eyes and his hands shaking violently. This drama would be popular just by looking at his face, not to mention Li Changsi's acting skills. With the blessing of the script, even if Song Xingyue was asked to shoot it, it might not be able to achieve this effect.
"Everyone take a break, let's discuss how to shoot the second scene."
For every scene Zheng Han is filming, he discusses it with the actors and staff to work out the best way to perform it. He then records it from various angles with his camera, and finally selects the best shots to edit into the final film.
Qi Ce: "Teacher Li, are you going to eat lunch on set or out? My assistant will bring lunch over shortly. Do you need me to order one for you?"
Li Changsi: "My agent will give it to me."
Qi Ce was a little excited: "Actually, I'm your fan. I follow the wilderness survival variety show you participated in every day. Especially when you discovered the shipwreck ruins, the scene was so shocking."
At first he was really just a fan of Li Changsi's looks, but after acting with her, Qi Ce's heart started pounding. Li Changsi's eyes were truly the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen, slender and deep, mysterious like the deep sea. He didn't catch it at the beginning, and he had to NG several times, and cold sweats broke out all over his body.
Perhaps because she could see his nervousness, Li Changsi restrained herself a little in the following scenes. Only then could he perform the whole scene under her gaze.
Qi Ce had never had this feeling before. He couldn't believe that if Li Changsi's aura was fully released, who in the circle could imitate her role? Would it be Bai Zhuo, the top star who is famous for his acting skills?
He didn't know, but he knew that within two years, Li Changsi would become a huge star. Although she was popular now, Li Changsi would use her works to slap all her haters in the face.
"Teacher Li, why did you choose to play this role?"
Qi Ce also saw the hot searches last night and felt a little sorry for Zheng Han. After all, in the past ten years, Xu Lin, who had always been a victim, became a top female artist thanks to what happened back then, while the talented director Zheng Han fell into disgrace and became a scruffy bearded man who picked his toes and was shooting a small web drama with a well-conceived movie script.
There is no need to say who is miserable.
"The script is good, and the female lead is captivating," Li Changsi said succinctly. This is a crime thriller with a high-IQ female lead, and it's a serial crime drama, with a clever plot to murder four wealthy businessmen, almost one person per episode.
During the investigation, the police discovered that these four wealthy businessmen were all responsible for murders and were core members of a large transnational criminal group. They trafficked women, organized the sale of silver, sold human organs, and conducted human experiments... The history of their rise to wealth was a bloody history of crime.
The heroine is one of the girls who escaped that year. The most amazing thing is that in the end, the heroine relied on her high IQ and the help of the victim girls to have an alibi every time. The police could not catch her and finally watched her succeed in revenge. At the very end, the plot began to reverse again, and the ending was shocking.
Zheng Han is shooting a web drama with the requirements of a movie, and it will definitely be a hit.
"Director, someone is looking for Teacher Li."
Li Changsi looked back and saw Rong Shu, dressed casually, coming to the crew with a lunch box.
The crew members recognized him as the famous pianist renowned both at home and abroad, and they immediately looked like they had found some good news. Wow, Rong Shu came to visit the crew.
Many fans online are supporting the Acacia Tree couple, is it true?
"Changsi, fans heard you were filming here. My home is nearby, so I brought you lunch." Rong Shu smiled at the director team, "I ordered fruit and coffee for everyone. This is Changsi's first time filming, so I hope everyone will take good care of him."
Holy crap!!! Did they declare their sovereignty? Seeing the mild-mannered Rong Shu so aggressive, the staff's faces lit up, their gossip spirits aflame, their inner groundhogs screaming. Is this couple real?
Director Zheng Han now regarded Li Changsi as his lifeline, practically worshipping him as a patron saint. He quickly said with a smile, "Teacher Rong, thank you for the expense. We are just looking out for each other."
"Excuse me, is Ms. Li here? Here is a set lunch meal from Qiu Yinong. It was ordered by a Mr. Bai, and they said it would be delivered directly to the crew." Qiu Yinong's exclusive delivery staff got out of the car holding boxes of exquisite food.
Holy crap!!! Another one? That legendary, sky-high priced Autumn Nong private kitchen?
What kind of large Shura field is this?
On Teacher Li's first day of filming, a renowned pianist and a top-tier actor both sent him lunch? And they bumped into each other?
Who said Bai Zhuo and Li Changsi don't get along? Come out and get beaten!
The crowd was in an uproar. Li Changsi and Bai Zhuo? Li Changsi and Rong Shu? Whichever pairing turned out to be, it would cause Weibo's servers to crash.
Li Changsi directly distributed the luxurious private dish set meal of Baizhuodian to the crew members.
Rong Shu saw that she seemed to dislike Bai Zhuo very much, which was completely different from what was rumored on the Internet. He smiled and said nothing, otherwise with his conditions, he would definitely not be able to compete with Bai Zhuo.
After delivering lunch, Rong Shu showed up on the set and went straight back without disturbing her filming. Li Changsi was different from all the girls he had met. She was independent and aloof, like a fire with cold flames, mysterious and uncontrollable. They were moths flying into the fire, and at present, the number of moths was still increasing.
In the afternoon, the crew continued filming Li Changsi's scenes. It was a major scene, which was consistent with the title of the play, a solo dance.
Zheng Han was still a little worried about Li Changsi's solo dance, so she asked the dance teacher to lead her in the dance first.
This scene is one of the most important hunting scenes in Tingyu. One of the wealthy businessmen likes girls with graceful dancing postures and trades girls in underground exchanges all year round. The heroine disguises herself as a captured girl and dances a beautiful dance of death.
"Teacher Li, the dance is primarily classical. This scene requires not only a solo, but also the heroine's despair, fear, and brokenness. If the dance is challenging, I'll try to capture your micro-expressions and use close-ups. Any questions? How about we go through it first?"
Zheng Han talked about this scene over and over again. He didn't want to shoot such an important scene on the first day, but after seeing Li Changsi's acting skills and her fit with the character in the play, Zheng Han's inner standards have been infinitely raised.
In the beginning, people only cared about the looks and traffic, but now every shot must be perfect.
If Li Changsi can't keep up with the dancing, there will be time for her to learn from the dance teacher later.
Li Changsi nodded. "Director Zheng, I'll discuss the dance part with the dance instructor. Classical dance is too soft and beautiful. It doesn't visually impact the audience enough, nor does it reflect the heroine's inner murderous intent. How about combining classical dance with ancient war dances and adapting it, perhaps incorporating the ancient war dances mid-sentence?"
The director slapped his thigh. What a great idea! He could film a solo dance that felt like an ambush from all sides.
The dance instructor was stunned: "I don't know this ancient war dance."
Li Changsi said calmly, "I know a little bit. Teacher, you only need to teach me the classical dance part."
Thanks to her extravagant and licentious father, her brothers and sisters all knew how to perform the war dance. Emperor Chongwen loved musical instruments and dance, especially the war dance, and he would rehearse it in the imperial palace every month, imagining his Spring and Autumn dream of conquering the enemy and unifying the surrounding kingdoms.
"Let's start shooting right away." Li Changsi looked at the time and decided to finish shooting early and go home.
Zheng Han nodded blankly: "Oh, okay."
No, just shoot it directly?
Zheng Han gritted his teeth and went to set up the venue. Once everything was ready, while Li Changsi was changing clothes, he pulled the dance teacher he had shamelessly invited aside and asked, "Is Teacher Li's dancing up to par? Do you want to focus on training for a while? You'll need to help. Just spare two or three hours a day."
The dance teacher was unsure and said vaguely, "I taught her once and asked her once, and Teacher Li said she knows it all."
He did dance from beginning to end. Li Changsi watched it carefully, and then it was over.
Not to mention ancient war dances, she didn't even dance classical dances.
But the dance teacher didn't dare to say it, and he didn't know why, under Li Changsi's gaze, he was as nervous as when he participated in the dance competition. He hadn't danced so seriously in many years.
Zheng Han still understood him and sighed, "If it really doesn't work, just use a close-up of his face. This dance is indeed a bit difficult. Generally, good dancers don't have good acting skills, and good acting skills don't dance well. There are too few all-round artists in society nowadays. Too few."
At least Li Changsi's acting skills are guaranteed. Many traffic stars in the entertainment industry rely solely on hype and looks, and their acting skills are terrible, but they still shoot one bad drama after another, and fans still pay for them.
Li Changsi changed her clothes and came out. She was wearing a soft silk mini dress, dark red, like the blood flowing from a girl stepping on a rose bush.
The second scene begins filming.
"Jump, jump quickly!" Countless greedy and malicious gazes came from all around. Amidst whistles, screams and laughter, the trainer waved the whip and hit the girl's white back, leaving a thin red mark and causing a commotion and madness.
The girl was driven to the center of the stage with anklets on her ankles, and danced a solo dance with terror and despair, like a butterfly in spring, whose wings were strangled by a big hand. She struggled with her broken wings, and the sound of drums rang out during the struggle. The soft classical dance began to transform into a murderous and powerful war dance, and finally fell to the dust, struggling to death and dying silently.
Li Changsi's expression in the camera slowly changed from brokenness at the beginning to numbness. His hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his palm-sized face. As he leaned over the chain platform, he took a last look at the camera. His deep ebony eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, and he curled his lips in a smile, so beautiful that it was shocking.
There were horrible screams from the crowd, the hunt was over!
The whole audience was silent. Zheng Han even forgot to shout "cut". The dance teacher was like a dehydrated fish on the shore, with his mouth wide open. He lost his voice during this thrilling solo dance.
It was so beautiful. He had never seen such a beautiful dance. The softness of classical dance and the strength of war dance were perfectly combined together by the dancer wearing anklets. The softness and the killer move were embodied in one person.
This is not dance, this is art!!
The dance teacher was ecstatic.
"Click." Zheng Han's hands and feet became weak, and he slumped in the chair, laughing like a madman. His acting was so damn good that he started to cry with his hands covering his face.
Not only the director went crazy, but everyone in the crew was a little crazy too. Li Changsi danced so beautifully, this dance will definitely go viral, absolutely!
One pass!
"Director Zheng, are we still filming the rest of the scenes? If not, I'll go find Teacher Li and ask her if she wants to apply to our dance academy." The dance teacher was a little incoherent, dancing excitedly. "Yes, apply to the dance academy. The ancient war dance has long been lost. If it were re-incorporated into modern dance, it would definitely be a world-class performance."
"Why would you want to apply to a dance academy? Don't you see she was born to act? Such a talented actress is going to dance. Go away, leave quickly, there's no place for you here."
"Old Zheng, you're such a traitor! Who said dancers have to apply to film academy to reach the pinnacle of art?!"
"Come on, forget it. How many of your dance academy's students have made it to the pinnacle of art? Only their works will be immortal and passed down for thousands of years to come."
The two started arguing.
Li Changsi: "..."
Who said she was going to apply to film academy and dance academy?
The first day of shooting ended perfectly.
Li Changsi's acting and solo dance captivated the audience. With top star Bai Zhuo and pianist Rong Shu delivering lunch, and Golden Melody Queen Lin Lushen ordering coffee for the entire crew, the day was a thrilling roller coaster. They enjoyed an exorbitantly expensive Qiu Yi Nong lunch, coffee courtesy of Lin Lushen, and fruit courtesy of Rong Shu! They also witnessed Teacher Li's impressive professionalism.
Oh my god, they're willing to work with Teacher Li for another 500 years! How did Teacher Li become so unpopular before?
With such good looks, acting skills, and dancing skills, any one of them can make her famous, let alone she has them all.
The forum exploded that night.
—Anonymous revelation: A recently incredibly popular celebrity joined a film set, and top stars, pianists, and divas all sent him lunch and coffee. Whoever said there's no sincerity in the entertainment industry? I'll give him a slap in the face.
There is also a certain star whose acting skills are amazing, and his solo dance is so beautiful that it makes you cry.
—I figured it out. Wasn't Li Changsi the person who recently joined the crew? It's so easy to figure out. Li Changsi can actually dance, is that fake?
——It’s obvious at first glance that this is a marketing post from a cyber-troll army, but there are actually fans who believe it.
—Haha, spreading rumors is legally responsible. Li Changsi's marketing team isn't promoting his "lucky guy" persona, but is now promoting his "charming all-around charmer" persona? Have you got some shame? Haven't you had enough of sucking my brother's blood? Do you plan to suck his blood forever?
——Oh shit, the OP is really brave. I don’t even dare to say this. My home is near the crew, and I went there on purpose to meet him. I saw the pianist. He is really handsome in person, with a gentle and artistic temperament. Li Changsi is a real beauty. You can wait for a Reuters photo. The shape is beautiful.
——A Lu fan next door posted something, and it said exactly the same thing as the original poster.
——My blind guess is that the fans of the wilderness survival variety show are fighting each other, but the guests have a good relationship in private. They are probably worried that Li Changsi will join Zheng Han’s crew, so they went to support her.
——I only care about whether Li Changsi's acting is really that good? Look at you all praising it to the skies. If "Dancing Solo Girl" doesn't get an 8 on Douban, everyone here will be responsible, hehe.
Anonymous posts and chatter on the forums were rife. "Dancing Solo Girl" began to appear on various forums, and its popularity gradually grew.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Li Changsi finished work and went home. Filming was more tiring than he had imagined, and Zheng Han had high requirements. Many shots needed to be retaken with close-ups in order to achieve perfection.
Tian Ye: @长思, how was your first day of filming? I heard that Brother Rong sent you a charity lunch today, hehe~
Lin Lushen: Brother Ye, it's a shame you're not a paparazzi. I'm also bringing coffee to my sister~
Song Xingyue: Wow, did I get to taste the melon firsthand?
Rong Shu: Changsi was filming near my house, so I went to take a look.
Xuan Yiyi: Brother Rong, I'm rooting for you~
Xuan Yiyi: I will be turning 20 next month and would like to invite everyone to my house. I wonder if you all have time.
…
Li Changsi took a look at the group, then threw away his phone. The dance he performed today was very exhausting and he even sweated.
When she came out of the shower, her cell phone kept ringing.
"Hello, Ms. Li. I'm Song Mao. I'm sorry to bother you so late. A batch of national artifacts were salvaged from a shipwreck on a deserted island, and my husband said he needed to inform you. Do you have time to go to the Cultural Relics Bureau tonight?"
"Now?"
"I'm already waiting downstairs at your house."
"OK."
Li Changsi changed his clothes and went downstairs, and saw a black Bentley parked quietly on the side of the road. In Jingcheng in October, the leaves of the sycamore trees in the city began to turn red.
In the twilight, the car window was half open. Lu Qi leaned back in the car with his eyes closed. His sharp brows were like a knife cutting through the falling sycamore leaves. The moment he opened his eyes, a cold dark light was annihilated in the night.
Li Changsi narrowed his eyes. He and his master were really alike, like the two extremes of light and darkness. His master was the light, and Lu Qi was the darkness.
"Ms. Li." Song Mao got out and opened the car door.
Li Changsi got on the back seat. The Bentley was originally spacious, but the space seemed inexplicably cramped.
"Li Changsi, long time no see." Lu Qi's voice was gentle and low, as if the scene she just saw was just an illusion.
"Is Mr. Lu also going to the Cultural Bureau?"
Lu Qi: "The national artifacts salvaged are beyond our imagination, including lost national treasures."
Li Changsi nodded. If it wasn't a heavy weapon, they wouldn't have called her in so late at night. Maybe there would be an international lawsuit later.
"I'll take a nap first. Please call me when you get there, Mr. Lu."
She finished, closing her eyes and taking a nap.
"Yeah." Lu Qi turned around and took a small blanket from behind the car seat and covered her legs.
In the cramped space, the man's cold aura enveloped him. Li Changsi put his hand on his chest and opened his eyes, feeling embarrassed.
The chest muscles under her fingers were firm and smooth, and her heart felt like it was burning with a small flame. Certain memories suddenly flooded into her mind. Her fingers trembled slightly, her eyes closed, and she silently recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra.
How could he think of such shameful things? He and his master were two extremes. His master was like the first snow on earth, pure and unselfish, while Lu Qi was a man full of control and trapped in darkness.
"Changsi?" Lu Qi saw her clutching the shirt on his chest, his eyes darkened. She was clutching him, but in a daze?
"What kind of incense are you using?" Li Changsi suddenly opened his eyes.
Lu Qi: "I don't need incense."
Before he could finish his words, Li Changsi, who had been lazy and sleepy just now, suddenly approached him and sniffed his chest carefully. The man's sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his whole body tensed up.
