Chapter 59
The next day, the director fulfilled his promise and came to give him a lecture.
To be precise, it is them.
Bai Gaoxing was squatting on a shelf, surrounded by the heroine Pei Jue, Empress Huang Shaqing, minister Li Pu, and several other supporting characters who would appear later.
"Before, we removed the emotional entanglement between the Queen and Ning Chen due to insufficient conditions, but now that we have Dabai, the emotional line between the two characters is more convincing, so we added it back now."
Ning Chen is the character played by Li Pho.
After several twists and turns, Bai Gaoxing finally knew what role he was playing - a treacherous minister!
A meticulous and scheming character.
Just like his name, in the original novel, he is like a bottomless lake, with a force like a mountain pressing down on the court, making people breathless. Ning Shen is the most difficult obstacle for the heroine to overcome on her growth path, and she almost lost her life in his hands.
Director Sun stood in the middle of the group, explaining the setting ideas of the original work.
"When the queen was young, she loved Ning Chen, but unfortunately she had to hide her feelings after becoming the queen. Until she met the heroine——
”
Director Sun turned his gaze to Pei Jue.
Pei Jue understood what he knew and continued: "Ning Chen wanted to get rid of the heroine, so he used the queen. The queen and the heroine fought for a while. In the end, the queen's conspiracy was exposed by the parrot, and she hanged herself."
Director Sun nodded. "In fact, the queen knew that she was being used, but she was still willing to do it. She didn't get rid of the parrot that Ning Chen gave her before she died. Even if her words were exposed by the parrot, she didn't have any thoughts of revenge."
Huang Shaqing was shocked. "What a stupid woman."
Director Sun smiled and told the truth: "If you act well, it will be infatuated, tragic, and heartbreaking; if you act badly, you will be scolded."
Huang Shaqing picked up the page with the added drama with a bitter look on her face. Now the pressure was shifted to her.
"Now, we want to add roles for Dabai and Ning Chen. Ning Chen raised the parrot, and the maids around the queen were his trusted aides. He has a long-term plan, and if his plan fails, he will definitely not let the queen say a word."
He paused, "This part is a quiet perspective. When we were shooting, we just knew that the focus was still on the heroine."
After that, he smiled and asked, "How is it?"
Li Phou thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection."
If there is such a entanglement, the character's motivations can be more clearly explained. In the original plot, the queen's hostility towards the heroine was still a little unclear. Even though it created a conflict between the two, it was not convincing enough.
Hearing this, Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu. Now, the parrot was his both in and out of the play.
Well, they all occupy an important position!
Naturally, the others had no objections and started studying the new script on the spot. Bai Gaoxing looked around in the light from his high place and looked at the hand of the person closest to him.
[Ning Shen teases the parrot (carelessly)]
[Ningchen strokes the parrot (showing a rare gentle smile with a dark mood)]
[Ning Chen carried the parrot through the corridor and handed it to the servant, asking him to handle it with care.]
This, this, this, feels a bit weird?
Looking at the extremely concise and rough description on the page, Bai Gaoxing deeply suspected that Director Sun had a side job.
"I misheard what Director Sun said last night. I thought he was going to add some romance to the story between Teacher Li and Dabai..."
Huang Shaqing's voice came from below, and Bai Gaoxing was startled. Then he heard her talking to Pei Jue about last night's misunderstanding, and they both laughed out loud.
"Don't laugh." Director Sun glanced at Pei Jue, "You have a scene with Dabai."
Bai Gaoxing was stunned. He actually has a relationship with the heroine?
The smile on Pei Jue's face immediately disappeared: "What drama?"
It's unlucky to hear the word "rivalry"!
Director Sun said in a gentle voice, "The heroine is aloof and cold, but her methods are decisive. Other people's emotional indecision is not a problem for her. In other words, after the queen died, you got the parrot, and you knew that the bird was too smart and too dangerous, so you should not leave any trouble for it, so--"
Pei Jue was shocked: "Stop it!!"
Then she must be scolded to death! ?
Pei Jue and a few people nearby stared at each other blankly. They also knew how popular Dabai had been. Even though it has been out of the public eye for many days, there are still many people online who are looking forward to seeing more of Dabai. It is enough to imagine how many people like Dabai!
Let her - even if she just sends someone, to get Dabai... is she really the heroine!?
Bai Gaoxing was also shocked. He didn't expect the director to be so cruel!
But he likes it, hehe, it's exciting!
However, after the play was finished, Bai Gaoxing did not wait for the instructor to teach him the technique of pretending to be dead. It is said that the director was arguing with the screenwriter on how to write this part of the play, and the negotiation was fruitless, so it was temporarily postponed.
The days of being dragged around to watch the excitement were enjoyable and fulfilling, whether the crew was filming or not. Finally, after a few days, Bai Gaoxing got to have the "romantic" scene with Li Pu.
It's another bad weather day.
It was drizzling outside, the sky was overcast and a cool breeze was blowing. Li Pho, dressed in court robes, stood under the eaves, his long sleeves and the hem of his clothes fluttering in graceful arcs.
This was not the first time that Bai Gaoxing had acted with someone, but it was the first time that he felt so nervous.
There were cameras all around him, pointing directly at him; the atmosphere was oddly depressing.
The man walked towards him slowly, his eyes not showing the usual gentleness and calmness, but a hint of coldness and reserve.
Then he smiled.
This smile was not as gentle as melting ice and snow, but it was unexpectedly aggressive and particularly touching.
Bang bang bang!
Is it hail?
Bai Gaoxing looked up at the sky, oh no, it was his heart beating.
This scene depicts a treacherous official playing with birds while Bai Gaoxing listens to reports from people below him. The actor's lines are sonorous and powerful, but Bai Gaoxing has no intention of listening.
The whole parrot seemed to be in a fantasy state, trance-like, and its movements were completely based on body memory. My fingers were still warm, but the back of my hand was a little cold, after all, it was raining and windy...
“Crack!”
Director Sun called for a stop.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Bai Gaoxing shuddered: What happened! ?
He looked around blankly and came up with the answer:
Is this NG? ?
The staff around him also looked very surprised. Although Dabai didn't have many scenes, every shoot went smoothly. Being interrupted... this was the first time.
Bai Gaoxing was a little flustered. He thought about his actions carefully, but he had no idea what he did wrong. He could only shrink his head and wait for the director to roar.
However, Director Sun just strode over, looked at Li Pu, then looked at him again, and said, "It seems that being too familiar is not a good thing."
Huh? What do you mean?
Bai Gaoxing tilted his head in confusion, but Li Pu understood: "Well... Dabai is closer to me."
As he spoke, Li Pu extended his hand again, and Bai Gaoxing then put his face close to him, looking at the director in confusion: What's going on?
"Look! That's it." Director Sun looked at him and said.
Li Pu withdrew his hand, and Bai Gaoxing took two steps forward.
Then the fluffy face pressed against the fingertips again.
Director Sun: “…”
Bai Gaoxing: “?”
Bai Gaoxing: “!!!”
Bai Gaoxing finally realized what he had done. He turned his head to stare at his fingers in front of him and took a bite.
Bad habits acquired at home!
It’s all Li Pho’s fault!
Looking at the parrot's resentful expression, Li Pu rubbed his fingertips and stroked the fluff on its head.
"Actually, we shouldn't be so intimate..." Director Sun muttered to himself, then looked at Li Pu, "Can Dabai restrain himself for a moment?"
"I'll try." Li Pu's voice was filled with smile, and his frown relaxed a little.
Oh, what's there to be happy about?
Bai Gaoxing raised his head and scratched it, feeling a little disgusted with his bad habits.
Watching Li Pu walk back to where he was, Bai Gaoxing took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling. Come on, he will definitely not fail this time!
Slowly, the hand comes over, hold on——
"Click!" again.
"..." He couldn't help it because of his physical habit.
Director Sun was watching from the side and wanted to laugh: "How well do you touch Dabai at home?"
Li Pu thought about it and decided that it wasn't very frequent, he just did it when he was reading the script.
He glanced at the still lush feathers on the parrot's head, wondering if he should reduce them a bit. I heard... it would cause the parrot to become bald?
"Let's do it one last time. I won't force it." Director Sun patted the script rolled into a paper tube in his hand. This time, he actually felt it was real - the one in front of him was an ignorant parrot, not a parrot spirit.
Shoot.
Bai Gaoxing was cracking melon seeds - pretending to eat them, while out of the corner of his eye he saw Li Piao approaching.
This time, he couldn't help but raise his head, then with his strong willpower he held his head and didn't stick to it.
It's finally over.
After the filming, Director Sun said "OK" with satisfaction, and then asked to cut the first two scenes into the highlights.
The staff on site were amazed.
“No matter how many times I see it…it still shocks me.”
"So well behaved! He is indeed the best behaved under Teacher Li's tutelage!"
"The photos have been sent to the group, save them now!"
Bai Gaoxing watched as several other actors came forward to chat with Li Pu. They were about to go to shoot the next scene, but he had already finished his own part and felt a little bored.
Fortunately, Lin Shi would take him shopping.
In the corridor, Bai Gaoxing looked up at the sky, immersed in thought.
After counting, he actually didn't have that many parts in total. Once he finished filming the part that the director hadn't decided on yet, he would be able to die gloriously.
I just don't know if he will leave here after the killing...◢
We have to find a way to stay!
Bai Gaoxing worked hard quietly and racked his brains to think of a way to lie down in the crew, but before he could come up with any reasonable idea, Wang Peter came with news.
[Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, no rush, let Dabai get some sleep before coming back! ]
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. Once he heard the news, Bai Gaoxing felt so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
Then, he saw Li Piao call the director.
"Hmm? Go ahead!" Director Sun was still watching the filmed footage in front of the monitor at that time, and he was stunned for a moment after answering the phone.
He agreed readily.
Celebrities’ schedules are very full, and filming times are all based on notices. It’s rare to see someone like Li Pho who rarely leaves during filming.
Not to mention, the other party's scenes were almost finished.
Thinking of this, Director Sun laughed and said, "It's rare. What is it this time? Endorsement? Interview? Variety show?"
Li Pu pondered for a moment, kneading Bai Gaoxing's hair with his fingers, "It's for the magazine shoot."
"Oh?" Director Sun was really surprised this time. After thinking for a while, he couldn't remember any famous magazines in the industry recently. "You want to be a model?"
Li Pho paused and said, "It's not me, it's Dabai."
