Zheng Anxing walked over and rubbed Ji Li's head as if he were his own child. "I should be thankful that I didn't replace you at that time, otherwise it would have been a loss for our crew."
"Thank you, director. I want to go and rest for a while." Ji Li forced a curl of his lips. His emotions were still affected by the scene just now and he felt depressed.
"Go ahead, act in the play, it's done." Zheng Anxing understood his emotions.
Qin Li's eyes followed his back, with a look of frown on his face.
Zheng Anxing looked at his condition and said, "Qin Li, don't take a break. Let's just shoot the next scene."
If you rest for too long, you will easily lose your mood.
Qin Li was thinking of taking more photos, so he agreed without hesitation, "Okay."
The other scene had already been arranged, in a narrow alley on one side. The plot is coherent. Not long after Song Zhao died, Song Yi's men captured a group of assassins and left two of them alive.
The death of his brother stimulated Song Yi. He used the most brutal method to force out the mastermind behind the scenes. This was also the key turning point in his break with the king.
Qin Li stood still at the entrance of the alley, closing his eyes and letting the makeup artist touch up his face.
Makeup artist Xiao Mian tried to stand on tiptoe. She was always lively but she didn't dare to say a word today. She looked at Qin Li with a cold face and kept muttering in her heart -
What happened to Brother Li today? My whole body was cold and it was frightening.
Xiao Mian finished her work and quickly ran to the side. Zheng Anxing's question came from the horn, "Qin Li, are you ready?"
Qin Li slowly opened his eyes, pinched the bloodstains on his clothes with his fingertips, and his eyes turned cold again.
Zheng Anxing saw him quietly entering the character state and quickly started filming.
The assassin's body was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
Qin Li carefully put the bloody bun into his arms, then walked towards the alley with an expressionless face. He passed by an assassin who was struggling to death. The latter desperately grabbed his clothes, spitting blood and begging, "General, save me, save me!"
"I know I was wrong. We don't want to kill you..."
Qin Li squatted down, picked up the dagger dropped by the assassin, and stabbed it with all his might.
The dagger pierced the assassin's heart, killing him instantly.
The blood hidden under his clothes splattered and landed on Qin Li's face, but he seemed not to notice and continued to stand up and walk forward.
Every time Song Yi passed by the body of an assassin, he would stop and stab them in the heart. More and more blood fell on his face and clothes, which further highlighted the creepy hatred in his eyes.
It was written in the script that in order to avenge his brother, Song Yi stabbed the assassins' hearts with his knife, even the dead bodies were not spared.
Qin Li's acting skills undoubtedly added tension to this scene.
The onlookers were speechless and all of them were impressed by the man's acting skills. He is worthy of being the best actor who has won four trophies. He can act out even the fake ones as if they were real!
Yuan Yifei, who was sitting in front of the monitor, took a deep breath and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
The filming continues.
The two assassins were brought alive in front of Qin Li. They had already seen the other party's "stabbing" behavior just now, and there was uncontrollable fear in their eyes.
"General! General, spare my life!" The assassin on the left knelt down and begged for mercy, "We, we are really just following orders!"
Qin Li clenched the bloody blade in his hand and said concisely, "Whose order?"
"Yes..." The kneeling assassin was about to confess.
"Shut up! You cowardly bastard!" The assassin on the right shouted to stop him, "Song Yi, your brother deserves to die. Who made him have someone like you..."
The resistance stopped abruptly.
Qin Li stabbed the knife into the heart with a sinister look, pulled it out, stabbed it again, pulled it out again, and stabbed it again... This was a one-way massacre without any humanity.
The assassin looked at the bloody hole on his chest in disbelief, struggled to cover it and fell to the ground, dying with his eyes open.
"Pull out his tongue." Ji Li ordered to both sides, "Throw it to the dogs."
The soldiers suppressed the chill in their hearts and did as they were told. They all had the same understanding in their hearts - the general had changed.
Song Yi has made great military achievements. There are many people who want to kill him, whether they are current enemy countries or royal families of former states. He has also encountered many assassination attempts before.
But there has never been a time when he would kill assassins as crazily as he did today.
The remaining assassin was terrified and trembled, "It was Xiao Yong who was beside the king who sent us here. He had the king's token and asked us to assassinate you."
Qin Li's pupils trembled violently.
Xiao Yong was Cao Shijing's eunuch. He was loyal to the latter and would never act presumptuously. Who actually gave this order? The answer is self-evident.
He helped Cao Shijing build his kingdom, and finally recognized his brother. He even had the idea of resigning and returning home. What's the result? The former wanted to kill him, and the latter died in his place.
How ridiculous.
Qin Li's face was completely numb, and he said ruthlessly, "Kill them, transport all these people back to the palace, and throw them in front of Cao Shijing."
Song Zhao died, and his heart, which had finally warmed up, became completely cold. In this case, why should he care about the loyalty between the emperor and his subjects? He wants Cao Shijing to be buried with Zhao'er!
"Cut!" Zheng Anxing breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Qin Li, calm down and let's take a few close-up shots."
Qin Li covered his throbbing temples and said, "Okay."
…
Ten minutes later, Qin Li came back after finishing the close-up shot.
Yuan Yifei stood up from the armchair and was about to go forward to praise him, but he saw Qin Li with a rare sour face, "Don't talk to me, I'm annoyed when I see you now."
"..." Yuan Yifei stopped and almost laughed out of anger, "You are so into the role? It's rare."
Qin Li ignored him and walked aside.
Yuan Yifei was not angry after being rejected. Instead, he pushed his glasses hard.
If Qin Li continues to act like this, won't he and his opponent be "suppressed"? No, he needs to study the script again.
He yelled to his assistant, "Orange, give me my script."
The assistant looked innocent and said, "Brother Yuan, you said you wanted to relax and not read the script today, so you asked me not to bring it."
“…”
Yuan Yifei coughed deliberately.
No way, did he really say something so unpromising?
Zheng Anxing replayed the footage that had just been filmed. Qin Li stood aside solemnly. He relaxed only after confirming that everything was alright and allowed the staff to wipe the "blood stains" off his face.
He looked around but couldn't find Ji Li. Somehow, his heartstrings, which had just relaxed, suddenly tensed up.
"Where is Ji Li?" Qin Li asked in a low voice with a frown on his face.
Cheng Yin, the script supervisor at the side, quickly responded, "Brother Li, I just saw him heading towards the canteen."
"Okay." Qin Li responded and turned to leave.
Cheng Yin looked at the direction Qin Li left, and her heart, which had been tortured to pieces not long ago, instantly pieced itself together -
Woo woo woo, Brother Li went to find Ji Li as soon as the show was over!
Woohoo, the Soong brothers are real!
Woohoo, it’s time to give out candies!
…
When Qin Li walked to the store, he found Ji Li lying on the table outside. He held a small cup of ice cream in his hand and ate it seriously, bite by bite, with a plastic spoon.
The blood on the young man's face had not been cleaned yet and he looked pitiful.
Qin Li unconsciously relaxed his brows, "Ji Li."
Ji Li looked up and was surprised to see the other person approaching him. "...Teacher Qin Li? Have you finished filming?"
"Yeah." Qin Li sat opposite him and asked, "Why don't you stay in the crew, but hide here to eat ice cream?"
"I didn't hide." Ji Li scooped another spoonful of ice cream for himself and said vaguely, "I'm just used to it. I'm used to eating ice cream after the filming is over to distract from the role."
In the past, his assistant would prepare food for him, but now that Ji Li was alone, he had to go to the store to buy food himself. But he didn't have much money, and he couldn't bear to buy the most expensive ice cream in the store, which cost twenty yuan a cup, so he had to make do with the cheaper ice cream at six yuan.
"Get used to it?" Qin Li grasped the key words. Isn't this the young man's first time acting?
"I mean that when I encounter unhappy things, I like to eat ice cream to calm my mood." Ji Li realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and added an explanation.
He poked the almost empty ice cream with a spoon and sighed, "Song Zhao actually couldn't bear to part with his brother, but if it happened again, he would still make the same choice."
No one feels this role more deeply than Ji Li.
Qin Li didn't want the young man to continue indulging in this emotion, so he changed the subject, "Is the ice cream delicious? I also want to calm down. Acting with an actor like you is really too 'emotionally taxing'."
The second half of the sentence can be considered a compliment to Ji Li.
The emotions the other party expressed when playing Song Zhao were so strong that Qin Li had to respond with the same enthusiasm.
"Ji Li, you acted very well. I'm glad I didn't stubbornly replace you." Qin Li said again. This was the first time he was so optimistic about a new actor.
Ji Li's eyes lit up instantly, "Teacher Qin Li, you acted very well too. I'm very happy to act with you."
"Don't call me Teacher Qin Li all the time. Just call me Brother Li like everyone else." Qin Li said, "You seem to be a lot younger than me."
Ji Li was stunned.
In fact, his real age is three years older than Qin Li, and deep down he has always regarded Qin Li as a talented "junior" actor.
Although treating such an all-time best actor as a junior does seem a bit like taking advantage.
Ji Li poked the empty ice cream cup with a spoon and called out softly, "...Brother Li?"
Qin Li saw his ears gradually turning red and found it interesting. "Why? Is it a disadvantage to call me Brother Li?"
"no."
Ji Li secretly thought: You are the one who is at a disadvantage.
"Do you want more ice cream? I'll buy you another one?" Qin Li asked again. Perhaps it was because the character's emotions had not yet passed, he always unconsciously wanted to "compensate" Ji Li and treat him better.
"No need, I'll buy it for you!" Ji Li stood up suddenly.
Since he has already taken advantage of the other person's age, he must always make up for it secretly in other ways so that no one will suffer any loss.
Ji Li walked to the freezer, his eyes stayed on the most expensive ice cream for a few seconds, then he picked it up and bought it.
Qin Li followed the young man and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the balance on his phone, a pitiful two digits.
After buying the ice cream, there was very little left.
Ji Li suppressed the pain in his flesh and reluctantly handed the ice cream over, "Eat it, it's delicious."
Just looking at the price it must be delicious.
"Thank you." Qin Li suppressed his smile. "Your role as Song Zhao can be considered a mid-level special contract. How much share will the company give you when you return?"
"Where does the share come from? None." Ji Li shook his head, not understanding. "This role was offered by the company, and I got it by chance. It's great to have the opportunity to act with an award-winning actor like you."
If I remember correctly, the 'indenture' that the original owner signed was the one with the lowest degree of freedom. In addition, the trainee salary had already been paid out early, so this time I'm afraid I won't get a penny.
After all, the company is not a business, so how can it subsidize these new and famous people every time?
Ji Li was worried about what to do after returning. You can't just sit around and wait until your savings run out.
When Qin Li heard what the young man said, his brows unconsciously frowned.
"Brother Li, shall we go? It's getting late. I should change my clothes and go back." Ji Li said. He had spoken to the company driver on the phone before and learned that there was a bus back home at 3pm and he had to hurry to catch it.
"Okay." Qin Li suppressed the doubts in his heart. He was not in a position to ask the young man more about the share of the contract.
The two returned the same way, and when they passed Qin Li's RV, Qi An had just gotten off the car after a company video conference.
Qi An saw the ice cream in his friend's hand and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The sun rises from the west? Why did you buy this kind of sweet ice cream?
Before the three of them could start a conversation, a series of sparse noises were heard from the bushes behind the RV. The major general came out of the bushes, leaning down, with a dirty, skinny cat in his mouth.
"Meow~" The sound of this picked-up cat is so weak.
The major general placed it at Qin Li's feet, raised its proud little head, and wagged its tail wildly as if asking for encouragement.
