Chapter 76 Black and Red Are Also Red
Director Hong is a person who strives for perfection.
Although the original script was brilliant, Director Hong still let his
The editor adapted it according to his ideas. While keeping the general story the same, add some details that highlight the characters.
Han Qi took advantage of the time when Director Hong was polishing the script to start filming and promoted the film on Big Eyes. The male lead chosen by Han Qi was also very familiar to Lu Yuqi, and that was Song Xiuyuan.
Originally, the two had a pretty good relationship when they were in the crew of Licheng Fengyun. But later in the crew of Jinlingjing, Lu Yuqi felt that Song Xiuyuan seemed to have changed. She didn't know whether he had changed or his true nature was exposed, and he was sarcastic in his words and deeds. Lu Yuqi intentionally or unintentionally distanced herself from Song Xiuyuan, and since she was really busy during that time, the two gradually stopped contacting each other.
"Brother Liu, when will Director Hong finish revising the script?" Lu Yuqi felt that Han Qi was spreading the word just to seize the initiative.
"It's hard to say if the script will be changed. Besides, the actors haven't been selected yet, so it will probably take some time."
"oh!"
"Don't worry, I won't leave you idle. There's a movie here that invites you."
"Oh~ what movie?"
"It's an art film, with the second male lead."
"Uh!" Lu Yuqi thought about it and didn't expect it to be an art film: "Isn't an art film too difficult?"
"Well, I've read the script. It's about dancing. The script is good, and the director is from that place. He must be very satisfied with you if he found you. Why don't you give it a try?"
"I can give it a try, but I'm not sure if I can act well. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I was rejected?" When it comes to art films, Lu Yuqi feels that a lot of them are about inner drama.
"So I didn't agree right away. Since you don't want to go, then you can continue studying. Do you remember the theater teacher that Director Li mentioned before?"
"Ah! I remember!" Liu Jiahe had not contacted this teacher before, because Lu Yuqi's acting skills were really too poor before. Now his acting skills have improved a lot, and he can go to the Grand Theater for in-depth study.
"Well, I'll contact this teacher and you can study with him."
"OK."
The teacher at the Grand Theater is a national first-class drama actor: Xiang Hongbo. He has appeared in many TV dramas, and now at the age of 75, he is still active in performing dramas in the Grand Theater.
"You're a good-looking guy. Have you ever acted in a play before?"
"No, Mr. Xiang, I haven't seen it either..."
"Oh~ you'd better take a good look at it later."
"Okay, teacher."
"Kids, please perform a show for this handsome boy to open his eyes." Xiang Hongbo walked towards the stage while calling other drama actors.
A simple beam of light illuminated the stage. The actors, without any makeup or costumes, performed a vivid drama for Lu Yuqi, who was deeply attracted.
The actors did not have any amplification equipment and relied entirely on their own skills. Their lines were read loudly, emotionally and clearly.
"How does it feel?" After finishing the performance, Xiang Hongbo sat next to Lu Yuqi.
"It makes my hair stand on end!"
"Hahaha. You're a good guy. Start rehearsing with us tomorrow."
"Okay, teacher."
On the first day at the Grand Theater, Lu Yuqi discovered that
Every actor in the drama was memorizing his lines seriously. Standing on the stage, Lu Yuqi found that his voice could not be transmitted that far, and the end result was that his voice became hoarse after a day of singing.
"Brother Lu, what about your voice?" Xiao Chen was very worried that Lu Yuqi would overuse his voice and cause permanent damage.
"I know what's going on, but I didn't use it correctly at the beginning. I'll be fine after two days."
"Then I'll prepare some more monk fruit for you. It's good for your throat."
"Um."
The longer he stayed in the Grand Theater, the more Lu Yuqi felt the charm of body language.
"You need to be more restrained in your expression. After all, you are mainly focusing on the big screen, so don't make too exaggerated an expression."
"Well, it's okay. Not bad. I'm getting more and more confident."
Privately, Xiang Hongbo often mentioned to Director Li that the person being introduced this time was a good candidate. Director Li said that if it wasn't possible, why would he introduce it? Wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face!
Lu Yuqi stayed there until the filming of Director Hong's new drama started before leaving the Grand Theater.
"It seems like you're reluctant to leave." Liu Jiahe could see that Lu Yuqi was reluctant to leave the Grand Theater.
"Yeah, it feels quite interesting. Besides, you won't get a chance to do it again during a formal performance. One minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage."
"Then you can come to the Grand Theater more often when you have nothing to do in the future."
"I told the teacher and me that I can rehearse with them when I have time in the future."
"It's pretty clear."
"This is Director Hong's new script. It should be the final version. You should familiarize yourself with it."
"Okay, I can memorize lines super fast now."
"Then you should perform well in the crew."
Director Hong’s new drama is named Jiuxiao Lingyun, which tells the story of how the male protagonist Ling Jiuxiao goes from being an annoying gangster in the mortal world to changing his fate step by step and eventually becoming a generation of immortal.
Filming martial arts dramas is Lu Yuqi's comfort zone. The familiar crew and familiar people make Lu Yuqi feel like a fish in water and live a very happy life.
Director Hong is filming seriously, while Han Qi has already finished filming and is in post-production. Han Qi is no longer thinking about making a high-quality TV series as he did in the beginning. He just wants to fulfill the contract as soon as possible. It will be fine if the acting is good enough, otherwise he can do dubbing in post-production. Don’t be afraid of stiff expressions, just change your personality. In this way, the fantasy drama filmed according to the original script has become completely unrecognizable in Han Qi's "You can do it, you can get by, and that's all."
Han Qi also focuses on speed when it comes to the special effects of fantasy dramas, just to seize the summer season, and doesn't care how shocking the 50-cent special effects are.
As Han Qi wished, the entire drama had been edited before the summer vacation and could be directly reviewed and waited for broadcast. All major radio stations contacted Han Qi as soon as possible, wanting to buy his exclusive broadcasting rights. Han Qi knew very well what kind of drama he was directing, so he didn't dare to sell it exclusively or at a high price. He just sold it at a random price.
However, Han Qi was still willing to spend money on publicity and bought some internet trolls, insinuating that a big director also wanted to film the drama he was shooting. What should he do? First they poached him unethically, and then they used the script as an issue, forcing him to change it. He had no choice but to stay in this circle and couldn't afford to offend them.
The more netizens were looking forward to the show, the more disappointed they were when it was aired.
【What is this shot of】
[Can this actor please stop staring? Staring with surprise and fear, why is there such an expression? 】
[The male lead looks so delicate, it seems that he doesn’t fit the character well! 】
[Sister, I feel the same way! 】
There was a lot of criticism online, and everyone felt like they hadn’t seen a TV series of this quality in a long time! The more criticisms there were, the more people watched the show. The daily ratings were still rising gradually. This was something Han Qi had not expected. It turned out that being black and red was also red.
