Ji Li broke free from the state of the role and walked towards the monitor side by side with Fang Mo.
Director Rong Tong did not directly say "pass or fail", but asked the staff to first play back the main shot just now, "Fang Mo, Ji Li, take a look at the performance just now."
Rather than straightforward and tasteless oral narration, Rong Tong prefers to let actors re-experience their acting skills from the perspective of an observer.
Ji Li deliberately bent his body very low to make it easier for other staff members watching behind him.
When Fang Mo saw his conscious courtesy, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
During the four-minute long scene, both actors carefully examined their performance.
There was nothing wrong with the previous clips, until the camera stopped in front of Ji Li's side.
The thin lips that were pursed in silence, the slightly flushed corners of the eyes, the slow-paced wiping, and the fleeting drop of water on the lens.
This series of images impacted Fang Mo's brain.
It was not until then that he realized how accurate Ji Li's performance was when he turned his back to him.
Mu Qin is a reserved person. He doesn't have the impulse to express extreme sorrow or joy, but his emotions are always revealed in subtle ways.
In this scene, Mu Qin is forbearing, confused, but also finally relieved and determined.
No wonder he could feel so many clearly conveyed emotions from Ji Li's single back just now.
The other party integrated himself into the character of Mu Qin, breaking down all his inner emotions into countless tiny fragments and hiding them in his words and actions.
These seemingly simple three seconds are definitely the highlight of this scene!
Fang Mo recalled his performance after Ji Li's turn, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was one step behind.
Because the focus of the main shot at that time was Ji Li, the character Zhou Yong played by him, on the contrary, showed a thin emotion, which was totally unmatched by Ji Li's wonderful performance.
He relaxed his focus and lost his aura.
Fang Mo couldn't help but look at Ji Li standing beside him, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.
The other party continued to stare at the images on the monitor, and that serious look seemed to be able to poke two holes in the monitor.
——Brother Mo, Ji Li is the actor with the strongest empathy I have ever seen. You must not take it lightly when acting with him.
Qin Li's words reappeared in Fang Mo's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh with a smile.
He fully understood the terrifying and formidable acting skills of the young actor Ji Li.
You cannot relax at all when acting with Ji Li, otherwise, his aura will come at you like a flood and a beast, and if you are not careful, everything will collapse.
Ji Li also finished watching the scene just now, and secretly glanced at Rong Tong, feeling a little troubled.
He knew about Fang Mo's acting skills in his early years, so he did not hold back at all during this scene.
The two had no problem with their acting in the first half, but when it came to the lines about the case after he turned around, the other party seemed unable to fully catch the show?
Ji Li was a perfectionist, and he was secretly wondering how he could propose to perform it again without hurting the other party's self-esteem.
Before he could open his mouth, Fang Mo took the initiative to admit, "Director Rong, please do it again. I didn't follow Ji Li's role well in the second half."
When Rong Tong heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it again."
This is not the first time the two have worked together. Fang Mo is an actor with a strong sense of perception. Since the other party can find the problems himself, then he, as a director, does not need to waste any more words.
When the makeup artist heard that they would have to reshoot, he took the opportunity to say, "Brother Ji, come over and touch up your eye makeup."
Ji Li bowed slightly to Rong Tong and Fang Mo with bright eyes, "Director, Brother Mo, I'll go first."
"Go ahead."
After Ji Li's figure had moved a little further away, Rong Tong put his arm around his friend's shoulder and said, "Fang Mo, how did I find the male lead, Ji Li?"
"The waves behind push the waves ahead. I finally understand what this means." Fang Mo sighed and shook his head.
"Although Ji Li is young, his ability should not be underestimated. After retiring for so many years, my current acting skills are no match for his."
"Hey, don't underestimate yourself. Your acting sense and performance in the first half were above average, but you relaxed a little in the second half."
Rong Tong pressed his friend's shoulders and gave him timely affirmation, "If other actors retired for ten years and came back, it would be difficult for them to achieve the level you are at today."
Fang Mo smiled, accepting Rong Tong's comfort, "I'll go get ready first, and take the time to get my emotions together."
He couldn't afford to lose again in the next game, otherwise he wouldn't know where to put the face of this senior.
"good."
It was not until Fang Mo left that the staff members watching around dared to discuss in low voices.
"What's going on? Teacher Fang Mo asked for another try, and even admitted defeat, saying that his acting skills were outperformed by Ji Li?"
"Wasn't the rivalry just now good? Ji Li's acting is good, but I think Mo Ge also acted very well."
"Isn't it? Mr. Fang Mo has two highly prestigious Best Actor awards, yet he is still modest and says he can't compare to Ji Li? Doesn't that mean Ji Li's acting skills can also win the Best Actor trophy?"
Rong Tong looked around at the crew members and smiled without saying anything.
Different fields are like different mountains. The layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
In his opinion, as long as Ji Li persists in honing his acting skills and accumulating works, the entertainment industry will soon have another outstanding young actor.
Five minutes later, the second scene began.
Ji Li and Fang Mo's auras matched well with each other and they quickly passed this first scene perfectly.
The following plot of "Reverse Hunting" is also very exciting——
At Mu Qin's reminder, Gao Yong deliberately told the team members to secretly investigate the identities of the other six hotel residents. The first traveler was a male painter, 28 years old, who probably lived in the studio all year round. He had a gentle and fair appearance, or to put it in an exaggerated way, he was frail. This time he participated in the "Catching Summer" activity, on the one hand, to expand his social circle, and on the other hand, to gain more inspiration.
The second passenger was a retired Chinese teacher, 55 years old, with the usual high ponytail and black-framed glasses. She had a somewhat harsh personality and was always preachy. It was said that her neighbors disliked her very much, and her husband often stayed out and did not come back.
The third passenger was a female student, sixteen years old, a typical rebellious child who dyed her hair, smoked and drank. This time she skipped classes to attend the event.
The fourth traveler was a woman in her fifties who had lived alone since her husband passed away a few years ago. She and her sister signed up for this trip, but the latter did not come due to some urgent matters, so she was left alone to form a new team.
The fifth passenger was a bad-tempered rich second-generation, and the sixth passenger was an innocent-looking working girl.
A month ago, the second-generation rich man met a working girl in a restaurant. After much persuasion, he lured her to this event. He was planning to find an opportunity to take action against the girl, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen on the first night.
Together with the seven people including Mu Qin, they came together seemingly without any intersection.
After careful investigation, the police discovered a subtle commonality between them, which was similar to what Mu Qin had guessed.
"The six people present besides him were all family members of other hidden murder cases."
The male painter had a sister who was abducted by a mentally ill person when she was a child, taken to the wilderness, raped and murdered. The case ended without any result and the only compensation she received was a ridiculous amount of money.
Fifteen years ago, the son of a Chinese teacher went on a trip and fell off a cliff outside a scenic area and died tragically. It was finally ruled to be an accidental fall.
The girl's parents had different personalities. When she was three years old, her alcoholic father strangled her mother with a rope after a fierce quarrel. She is still in prison now.
The middle-aged woman's husband accidentally drowned while swimming.
Speaking of which, the only two people who had nothing in common were the rich second generation and the working girl. The police temporarily left these two people aside and conducted a more in-depth investigation of the remaining five.
The deaths of these relatives seemed unrelated, but they were very close on the timeline, and all of them were hastily closed or remained unresolved.
If Muchin's parents were hunted down by the murderer who died for the fifth time, what about the others? Did you receive the same strange invitation?
Sure enough, after further investigation by the police, the remaining four people all took out photos of the letters they had received.
The second hunt was of a little girl covered in blood.
The third hunt yielded a male corpse that was smashed into a bloody paste.
The fourth hunt was for the swollen man floating on the water.
The fifth hunt was of a young couple embracing each other after death.
The seventh hunt was to kill the strangled woman who died with her eyes open.
Their purpose of participating in this event is actually the same as Mu Qin's, which is to find out the truth behind the photos.
They came quietly, but they didn't expect to be arranged together. What they didn't expect was that things would develop as described on the back of the photo -
"As long as you come here alone, the murderer who killed you will appear before your eyes."
The innkeeper died.
The diaries and murder weapons found in various places in his hotel can verify everything that happened that year.
Rape, falling, strangulation, drowning, stabbing, the victims were different, the methods of death were different, it seemed to be a serial murder with no rhyme or reason.
But what followed were many more confusing questions:
Why? Are the photos of the first hunt and the sixth hunt missing?
Did the murderer fail in hunting before he died, or did he fail to invite the family members? Were the rich second-generation couple and the working girl really just accidentally involved in the case?
Also, even if this is the case, there is no way to prove Mu Qin's innocence.
After all, stabbing an adult male to death silently and tying him up on the rooftop of a hotel with great force, is this something that an average person can do?
Solving a case always requires evidence.
Judging from the condition of the innkeeper's body, the most suitable suspect is the young and strong Mu Qin.
Just when the situation reached a stalemate, Mu Qin, Gao Yong, and the real murderer behind the scenes took different actions.
Five days later, the rich second generation who was first cleared of suspicion by the police suddenly died at home!
Right next to his body, the murderer carved seven large bloody words.
In remembrance, the sixth hunt.
Many years ago, the other two hunting deaths and? photos were not found, but now another murder has occurred?
Who was behind this?
…
When Ji Li read this plot for the first time, he got goosebumps.
But this is just a tiny reversal in the movie. Starting from the death of the rich second generation, the plot of the movie has fallen into wave after wave of reversals.
Every character's appearance is full of high energy. It can be said that it is impossible to determine who the murderer is unless you watch the last second.
For a suspenseful plot like this, all the actors must have excellent acting skills to achieve quality.
So except for Ji Li and Fang Mo, the actors for the other six roles were also carefully invited by Rong Tong and the production team.
From low-key and talented actors to talented student actors who are appearing in a movie for the first time, everyone's appearance fits the role very well.
When they met on the set, the camera recorded them all acting like crazy.
Ji Li really likes this kind of crew atmosphere. Even if he has memorized the script by heart, he will still study it seriously every day.
The more Ji Li filmed, the more he looked forward to the day when the movie would be released in theaters.
Most of the film's scenes were shot in Haishi. Ji Li used an RV to travel between the set and home every day and lived a relatively stable life.
In a blink of an eye, two and a half months passed and the crew completed filming.
At the wrap party, Rong Tong excitedly expressed that if the post-production progresses quickly, he would be able to meet everyone directly at the end of the year.
After the wrap party, Ji Li posted a group photo of the crew on Weibo.
"Another wonderful and exciting life has come to an end. Don't worry, it's a good ending."
"Mu Qin, the filming has been completed. I look forward to meeting you all in the future."
Fans all know their own Jili’s habits. When the filming is completed, they will post a Weibo to express their attitude, and when the work is finished, they will also post a hand-drawn Q version to say goodbye.
This sense of ritual just proves that he is a good actor who treats his role with care.
So when Ji Li posted on Weibo, his fans flocked to him.
——Ahhh, thank you for the hard work in the filming! Looking forward to the release of the work! mwah!
——Baby, promise mom to send you more selfies, okay? Our beautiful looks should not be wasted, dear!
——Help me, our Jilizizi is so cute. He knows that fans want to see a good ending, so he made a special note to explain it this time hahaha.
——Son, can you give me a variety show commercial?! "The Backpacker" is about to be aired, why are you not making any moves at all? [The eager eyes of career fans.JPG]
Ji Li leaned against the RV, sipping milk tea with one hand and scrolling through the real-time comments with the other.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Poor Travels" is going to be broadcast?"
Baozi responded, "The first episode is a bonus. Two episodes will be broadcast this Friday and Saturday, and it will still be broadcast on satellite TV."
Ji Li was busy filming a scene a few days ago, and Baozi knew that he had to concentrate on it, so he didn't have time to tell him about this.
When Ji Li heard this, he immediately clicked on the Weibo of "The Poor Travel Notes", and the first post about the release date showed very strong data.
Fans of the four main guests put in all their efforts, and the number of reposts was more terrifying than the last. Even Feng Cheng and Qi Heng, who temporarily replaced each other in the show, received a lot of reposts from their fans.
"The Poor Travel Notes" was originally positioned as an online broadcast. Later, due to the importance of the participating guests, many radio stations shifted their focus and actively requested to cooperate with the program team to broadcast it on satellite TV.
The chief director discussed with the original website and chose Haishi Satellite TV, one of the most popular TV stations among the audience.
However, the number of variety shows that TV stations can broadcast each year is limited. If "The Backpacker" is to be broadcast, the TV station will need to adjust its schedule.
So this delay lasted for three months.
Fortunately, the fans' enthusiasm has not faded. As soon as the final trailer of the program came out the day before yesterday, fans from all groups spontaneously boosted the popularity.
The program team and the TV station also spent a lot of money on publicity and promotion. It has been on the hot search for three consecutive days before it even aired.
It seems that it is about to launch an offensive towards the hit variety show of the year.
Ji Li raised his eyebrows and quickly retweeted the variety show Weibo.
If the show is popular enough, it can help him maintain exposure while he's seriously filming, so there's nothing wrong with that.
"Brother Ji, have you been resting at home this month?"
The producers of "The Demon Monk" have notified us that the filming will start in early November and will probably take three to four months in the real-scene greenhouse built in Hengcheng.
When Ji Li heard Baozi's question, he was also thinking about it in his heart.
He actually wanted to go abroad to find Qin Li, but the other party was also busy filming, and his daily filming schedule was probably full.
Moreover, the script of "The Demon Monk" that he had just received was a super thick volume, and he needed to calm down and study it no matter what.
Qin Li was busy, and he was busy too.
It's really not easy for two workaholics to get together.
Before Ji Li could come up with a decision, Yu Fuya in the front row suddenly turned sideways and asked with a frown, "Ji Li, is Qin Li injured?"
“…”
When Ji Li heard this, he was stunned for several seconds, "What?"
"you do not know?"
Yu Fuya had just learned the news, so she simply showed him her phone, "It seems like it's been half a month."
"According to the news from his fans, he was injured while filming a scene where he jumped out of a car. The details are unclear."
The company seemed to have deliberately concealed the news, and only said in the official group that it was nothing serious, but fans of the brand were still worried.
When Ji Li heard what Yu Fuya said, he felt heartbroken.
Injured from jumping out of a car?
Has half a month passed? Why? Qin Li didn't mention a word to him?
The closer the filming of "Reverse Hunting" gets to the end, the busier the male lead Ji Li becomes. In addition, there is a long time difference between him and Qin Li, so the number of their video chats is indeed not frequent.
But they kept in touch through text messages almost every day, and during the occasional video calls, Qin Li did not show any signs of abnormality.
Yu Fuya and Baozi looked at each other and roughly guessed the reason.
"The company didn't mention it on purpose, but Qin Li is still in touch with you. It should just be a minor injury from filming an action scene. Fans always feel sorry for their idols."
Even a small injury would be magnified thousands of times in their eyes.
Baozi responded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Ji, you too, your arm was broken and bleeding during filming last month, and you didn't even let us talk to Teacher Qin Li in private."
To put it bluntly, this couple was afraid of worrying each other, so they hid some bad situations from each other.
Ji Li took a deep breath. Seeing that there was no one else in the car, he simply made a video call to Qin Li.
The call was answered quickly. Ji Li took a deep breath and asked, "Qin Li, where are you?"
"The crew has taken a unified holiday. I'm at the Qin family's old house. What's wrong?" Qin Li answered calmly.
"Point the camera of your phone at yourself and show me from top to bottom." Ji Li asked again, with an inexplicable sense of depression in his heart.
“…”
Qin Li was silent for a moment, then smiled and did as he was told, "I just changed into my pajamas and was about to rest."
There is nothing unusual in the video.
Ji Li really wanted to rush into the video and take off Qin Li’s clothes, and take a closer look at where he was injured.
"Baby, happy wrapping. I owe you some ice cream. I'll give it to you when I get back to China, okay?"
When Ji Li heard this, he felt his eyes and nose sore for some reason, "Okay, you should go to bed early, I have a photo shoot later."
"good."
The conversation between the two lasted less than a minute, and Qin Li unexpectedly did not try to keep him.
After the call ended, Ji Li rubbed his temple and sighed heavily, "Baozi, please help me book a plane ticket."
The more Qin Li acted like this, the more worried he became. In that case, he might as well go find him in person.
Baozi had already anticipated Ji Li's decision, and when he heard this, he opened his phone and asked, "Brother Ji, do you want to book for tomorrow?"
"I'm going to the airport now and I want the fastest flight." Ji Li replied firmly.
Because of his work habits, he carries all his identity documents with him. As for clothes, he can buy them there and there is no need to go home to get them.
Yu Fuya could see that Ji Li had made up his mind, so she had no choice but to agree, "Then let's set it for today. Baozi, check if there is still a suitable time?"
Since there is a month of rest time, Ji Li can of course arrange it freely.
Baozi is very efficient in these aspects. He found a suitable flight quickly and is still in time for the airport.
Ji Li confirmed the landing time and quickly sent a WeChat message to another person.
"Sister Yu, Baozi, please help me take care of the cats and dogs for a while."
"Of course, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us."
"Um."
…
The plane landed safely.
Ji Li wore a hat and a mask and walked out of the airport in a hurry.
"Ji Li, this way." Qi An waved at the airport entrance.
Ji Li walked over quickly, carrying the small backpack he had taken from Baozi.
Qi An nodded, feeling deeply moved, "When I saw the WeChat message you sent me, I thought you were joking."
"Where's Qin Li? He said he's at home."
"Well, Mrs. Qin is worried, so he has been living in the Qin family villa for some time."
When Ji Li heard this, he frowned and asked, "Where is he injured? Is it serious?"
Qi An drove the car to the destination.
"When I was shooting the action scene of jumping out of a car, my left calf was injured. A piece of metal left on the road opened a cut. I had to get about ten stitches, so I'm resting now."
"Anyway, when you see him, just ask him directly." Qi An shook his head. "You look so aggressive. I don't want to get involved in your relationship."
"By the way, I haven't told him about your coming here."
Ji Li looked at the lights on the road that were rapidly moving backwards, and he couldn't tell what he felt.
He never likes to talk about his pain and stress to others. Even if he and Qin Li became lovers, he didn't want to make her worry about him.
But after this identity reversal, he realized that the practice of "hiding everything and not letting your lover worry" would only bring anxiety and uneasiness to your partner.
——Ji Li, I hope I am not the other half that you need to hide and can push away at any time.
Now thinking about Qin Li's words again, Ji Li understood it even more clearly.
He had been worried about Qin Li's injuries since before boarding the plane, and was even more angry at himself for his irresponsibility and neglect as a lover.
After driving for nearly forty minutes, the car stopped at the door of the Qin family villa.
"I spoke to Madam Qin in advance, and she said the servants would open the door for you. Qin Li should be on the second floor at this time, and his bedroom is on the far right of the corridor."
"good."
Ji Li got out of the car with her bag and walked neatly into the villa area. He explained his identity to the servant on the first floor and walked eagerly to the bedroom on the second floor.
He took a deep breath and then knocked on the door calmly.
"who?"
After a few seconds, the locked door of the room was opened. Ji Li's sight was lost for a moment, and he dropped his eyes subconsciously.
Because his leg injury has not healed and it is inconvenient for him to walk, Qin Li is now sitting in a wheelchair.
He looked at his lover who suddenly appeared in front of him, stunned for a second or two, and rarely felt a sense of embarrassment as if he had been caught.
"Baby? You..."
Qin Li tried to get up from the wheelchair in a panic, but in the next second, Ji Li, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed his shoulders and pushed him back down.
"Sit down right there?!"
"..." Qin Li was stuck.
Ji Li was so angry at his guilty look that his teeth itched, but he couldn't help but want to throw himself into his arms.
Ji Li put his hands on both sides of the wheelchair and bent down to block Qin Li's escape route.
"Qin Li."
"Huh?" Qin Li tried to admit his mistake with his eyes.
As their eyes met, Ji Li suddenly kissed his thin and slightly cool lips, with a hint of hot love called "missing" in his breath.
"I miss you."
The author has something to say: #Jili throws himself into my arms, brother Li, you'd better be sensible (hehehe)
#The rest of the movie plots are waiting to be released, remember to buy tickets to watch hahaha
