Chapter 35 Variety Show Broadcast
After the filming of "Yue Yan" officially started, the entire crew entered a high-speed operation state.
The shooting rhythm proceeded in an orderly manner.
At noon that day, the first episode of "Actors in Progress" was released on Triangle Video.
Shi Qing didn't look.
She was catching up on her sleep on the bed in the RV. The high-intensity shooting over the past few days made her a little tired.
On the sofa not far away, Wu Xiao was wearing headphones, lying on the table, watching the first episode of "Actors in Progress" attentively.
When Shi Qing woke up, she heard a faint sobbing sound.
Looking at Wu Xiao’s red and swollen eyes.
"Sister Qing..." Wu Xiao took off his headphones, his voice still nasal, his eyes filled with tears of emotion. "You acted so well! Seriously, it broke my heart! When will Sister Xia get you a movie like this?"
Although there is a live broadcast during the recording of the program, there are ultimately few people watching it, and most netizens will still wait for the recorded version edited by the platform.
After excellent post-production and rhythm control, the impact of Shi Qing's performance was presented without reservation, and some details were even better than the live broadcast.
Shi Qing sat up, took the warm water handed to her by Wu Xiao, and smiled helplessly.
He whispered, "I hope I can have this opportunity."
It is not easy to cross the line between the TV drama circle and the film circle.
Speaking of this, she recalled the art film she poured all her efforts into and even destroyed herself shooting four years ago. However, due to the sensitive subject matter, it has been suppressed and has not passed the review until now.
However, when she thought of the script directed by Feng Guohao, a glimmer of hope was rekindled in her heart.
Maybe, there really is a chance.
Not long after the variety show was broadcast, with the secret promotion of agent Xia Zhu, the entry #施晴像# became a hot search on Weibo.
The hot search square was flooded with praise and admiration.
After all, Shi Qing’s previous dramas were basically campus dramas and costume dramas, which were more idol-themed.
She has never played a realistic role like Wang Xiu in "Baby", who struggles on the edge of despair.
This huge contrast brings unparalleled surprises.
Oh my god... Is this really the Shi Qing I know? That final, heartbreaking crying scene, even a grown man like me was in tears and had goosebumps watching it in the office! This is what an actor does!
I used to think she was an idol, just pretty. I was wrong, and I sincerely apologize! She brought the role of a mother who lost her child to life. The numbness and deadness that came from the depths of her soul were absolutely amazing!
The contrast is stark. Yue Jingchen looks like a wooden man the entire time, while Shi Qing is Wang Xiu. Please, sister, please go act in a movie! With this face and acting skills, it would be a waste if she doesn't shine on the big screen!
[Am I the only one who noticed the way Director Feng Guohao looked at her? It was a look of ecstasy, like finding a treasure! Our Qingqing has a promising future!]
——
This afternoon's scenes mainly focus on the friendship between Shi Qing and the second female lead Lou Qianqian, played by Ji Qingyao.
Before filming began, Shi Qing still had a headache.
Although Ji Qingyao hadn't openly found fault since the last audition, her deliberate and arrogant disregard was almost written on her face during the script reading and training. The two of them didn't communicate much unless necessary.
Shi Qing was already prepared to spend some time adjusting the situation in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the set, she saw Ji Qingyao walking straight towards her. Behind her, her assistant followed her closely, holding a parasol.
Wu Xiao immediately stood in front of Shi Qing like a hen protecting her chicks, her eyes full of vigilance.
"Hello." Ji Qingyao stopped in front of Shi Qing, took off her sunglasses, revealing a face that looked a little uncomfortable.
She cleared her throat awkwardly, her eyes wandering for a moment, and then she spoke as if she had made a great decision: "You...you performed quite well in the variety show."
Shi Qing was prepared to be challenged, but she didn't expect Ji Qingyao to come and praise her.
"Especially," Ji Qingyao saw that she was silent, thinking that she didn't believe him, and her tone suddenly became excited, her voice rising several degrees, "It feels so good to slap that rubbish Yue Jingchen in the face!"
When mentioning Yue Jingchen, Ji Qingyao's face was full of undisguised disgust and relief.
She explained to herself, "I worked with him on an idol drama before. He was incredibly slutty both on and off screen, and he especially loved to get physical."
"I'm trying my best to avoid suspicion and avoid hyping up our relationship, but he's the one who's doing it right. He's instructing his team to release all sorts of press releases online, creating those seemingly ambiguous relationships to suck my blood. Once the show's over and he's gained enough fans, he'll kick me out! Damn it, I've never experienced such humiliation before!"
Shi Qing nodded quickly. She was also deeply affected in this regard, but Danhao Entertainment was very supportive of Yue Jingchen in those years and did a good job in marketing. They were very skilled in this method of hyping up CP and then purifying it.
Ji Qingyao poured out her grievances in one breath, and then seemed to feel a little better. She added, "It's that judge named Zhao Qi. Her character is not very good. I remember that her early films were quite inspiring. I didn't expect that now, for the sake of resources, she has even thrown away her professionalism and face. She is really going backwards."
Shi Qing listened quietly and did not agree with her evaluation of Zhao Qi.
The edited version of the variety show has cut out most of the ambiguous touches between Zhao Qi and Yue Jingchen, and Zhao Qi's team is also working hard on public relations to reduce the hype.
Shi Qing curled her lips and responded sincerely: "Thank you for your appreciation, and thank you for telling me this."
Her frank thanks made Ji Qingyao, who was used to being challenged, feel a little overwhelmed.
The stalemate between the two that lasted for nearly half a month was resolved in just a few words.
When the staff on the set saw this scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, the best friend scenes in the afternoon went extremely smoothly.
Although Ji Qingyao's acting skills are still a bit immature, her attitude is positive and she is no longer resistant, and the chemistry between the two of them emerges.
The close and playful girlish friendship between Qi Yue and Lou Qianqian was portrayed vividly by them, and many of them were performed in one take.
However, the real highlight of today is the night show in the evening.
A palace banquet for the emperor's fiftieth birthday.
This scene has many characters and a huge amount of information, and the crew has been shooting for two consecutive nights.
The focus of tonight's filming is the little princess Qi Yue performing a dance to celebrate her father's birthday.
For this scene, Shi Qing practiced hard with her dance teacher from the beginning of training.
As night fell, the filming location in the main hall of the palace was brightly lit.
Sheng Han, dressed in a black robe, stood in the shadow of the corner with his arms folded across his chest. His eyes were burning as he looked through the crowd and fixed his gaze on the bright figure in the center of the venue.
A smile unconsciously spread across his lips, easing the coldness around him.
