In order to match the "evil and charming" character of the evil monk, the costumes in the play are mainly black and red.
The inky black serves as the background color, and a large area of flowing "mantras" are embroidered with flashing red and gold threads. The whole dress is more gorgeous than the "white clothes with gold characters" costume of the holy monk.
The Buddhist robes have always been holy and solemn, but when the person wearing them becomes a "demon monk", it is not so rigid anymore.
There are two half-open arc designs on the top of the collar. When shooting martial arts scenes, if there are some large-scale fighting movements, you can see Ji Li's delicate and seductive collarbone.
The top of the clavicles on both sides were connected to the neck, and were engraved with black and red spells, extending all the way into the invisible clothes.
The mysterious characters that imply powerful connotations arouse people's imagination, and they can't wait to peel off the robes to explore.
The well-tailored clothes wrapped around Ji Li's figure. The dark red silk ribbon outlined his slender waist, and the dividing line formed was enough to show off his long legs.
Just seeing this is enough to make people drool.
In order to differentiate herself from the 'charm' of the female characters, Ji Li's makeup was not gaudy at all. She only drew a small section of dark red eyeliner at the ends of her eyes, which was as captivating as a burning red hook.
Red and black are the most commonly used main colors after the characters in film and television dramas are "blackened", but the most unique thing about this makeup is——
The small mole on Ji Li's nose bridge was changed from its original light brown to dark red.
This mole on the bridge of the nose belongs to Ji Li alone, and has always been the biggest killer of his "pure lust" temperament. Now that it is dotted with bright red, this "sense of lust" is magnified tens of millions of times.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, teardrop moles are common among celebrities. In film and television works, there are also many cinnabar dots between the eyebrows, but Ji Li's mole on the bridge of his nose has become a unique symbol of the "evil monk"!
This suddenly broke away from everyone's inherent impression.
Eyes from all directions gathered around him, but Ji Li did not feel the slightest sense of urgency and quickly walked to the camera. "Teacher, I'm almost done here, and I can be ready to shoot at any time."
In order to be in line with the upcoming makeup photo shoot, he had already changed his mental state, freed from the sad and happy mood of the holy monk just now, and there was already a hint of teasing in his eyes.
As the distance gets closer, the mole on the bridge of the nose becomes more and more thrilling.
The cameraman took a deep breath. He had photographed countless celebrities in his career, but the shock that Ji Li the Demon Monk gave him was definitely number one.
There is no need for exaggerated makeup. Just an attractive mole on the bridge of the nose is more attractive than thousands of words of deliberate teasing.
"Just be ready, let's get started."
The staff brought a special bracelet, which was not a round Buddhist bead bracelet, but a bracelet made of very small skulls.
Ji Li wrapped it tightly around his wrist, then stood with his palm in front of him. His eyes dropped slightly, and when he raised them again, all the evil in his body burst out instantly.
The corners of the eyes outlined in red seem gorgeous and affectionate, but the arc on the sides of the lips carries a frightening murderous intent, as if it could take the life of anything in the next second.
Of course, the most amazing thing is the mole on the bridge of the nose!
The desire that used to require careful observation to be detected was now clearly revealed, making everyone present feel excited.
The most evil and the most beautiful, the most enchanting and the most lustful.
It was not until this moment that everyone suddenly realized that the evil monk in the script was not a character beautified by literary writing, but a character that could actually exist!
"Fuck! My nose is bleeding! Who can stand this?"
"To die under the peony flowers, even as a ghost, is still romantic. Oh my God, even if I were a woman, I would want to rush over and knock Ji Li down now!"
"Stop it! He is a demon monk. He can kill you before you even pounce on him."
"Isn't that right? Otherwise, why would the screenwriter Lan Lingmeng say that some ghosts and demons would rather die than meet the demon monk Chen? If it were me, I would be willing to do that too!"
"Who on earth came up with this look? The red mole on the bridge of the nose is killing me! F*ck!"
Lang Ge, the makeup director, heard the discussion among the staff and his eyes drifted to Ji Li who was in the middle of the photoshoot. "Ji Li proposed it himself."
Yu Fuya asked in surprise, "Did he bring it up himself?"
She had just received an invitation call from the editor-in-chief of a first-line magazine and had not had time to check what was happening in the dressing room. When she returned after the event, the mole on Ji Li's nose bridge was already stained red.
Yu Fuya thought that this finishing touch was decided by the styling team long ago.
"He was the one who proposed it." Brother Lang repeated it again, confirming the answer.
"Ji Li is very aware of the advantages of his appearance, and can perfectly integrate his appearance with the role."
Unlike some actors in the industry——
I think my curly hair looks good, so I have to wear curly hair in every role.
She thinks she looks good with curled lips, so she always smiles in a greasy way.
Ji Li knows how to use his looks to his advantage, but he doesn't abuse it, which is rare.
Lang Ge sighed, "As a stylist, I like him very much."
Yu Fuya and Baozi looked at each other and both felt proud of Ji Li.
First, I got recognition from the director and screenwriter, then from my competitors, and now I've got double recognition from the cameraman and stylist.
Putting all these together can only prove that their artists are really amazing!
When the people around heard this, they nodded involuntarily.
As crew members, their love for the leading actor Ji Li has already reached its limit even before the filming officially started!
Xu Yanzhi did not show up, but just stood by his own dressing room and watched from afar. He looked at Ji Li who was seriously taking the final makeup photos, and the impulse in his heart surged out again.
"What's wrong? I haven't seen you with such a fighting spirit in your eyes for a long time." Xu Yanzhi's cousin and agent asked with a smile, following her brother's line of sight.
"To be honest, I'm looking forward to the scenes with Ji Li." Xu Yanzhi laughed softly, and simply stopped hiding it. "I hope the start date can come sooner."
…
One week later.
A post containing explosive information suddenly appeared in China's largest entertainment forum.
"I saw Ji Li's new movie look. It's so tacky. After all, no one in the entertainment industry can pull off a bald look."
——New movie look? Is this the evil monk directed by Xu Cheng?
——Shit, is it really a bald hairstyle? Damn it, I can’t accept it just by imagining it. Why doesn’t the handsome guy take good care of his hair!
——It should be just a wig, right? But is it really ugly?
——What’s the point of talking about a ball of yarn without a picture? You can black people just by opening your mouth!
——Apply for deletion. Ji Li fans please stop giving this post some attention. We are patiently waiting for the official announcement of the movie poster.
The signs of dispute in the front row have not yet been fully ignited, so the author of this post added a blurry half-length photo of the back.
Under the dim indoor lighting, the bald head like a boiled egg is particularly shiny, and the back of the head seems to have some bumps and bumps.
"My friend is a crew member. This is the photo he sent me. The back view is Ji Li. Believe it or not. I advise everyone to be mentally prepared, lest you be killed by ugliness when the finalized poster comes out."
As soon as this photo came out, it caused widespread ridicule.
——Is it really Ji Li? I'm bored. I really can't accept all the handsome guys shaving their heads.
——Thank you for the invitation, it’s so ugly that I don’t even want to take a second look at it.
——I didn’t expect that even Ji Li’s appearance would have a day of decline. I imagined his face and suddenly I couldn’t accept it.
——A photo of the back of the person whose fans couldn’t recognize him, but a ‘passerby’ was 100% sure it was Ji Li? The author of the post? If you are a hater, please be quiet, so as to avoid being slapped in the face later.
More and more people joined in the discussion, and the thread became increasingly crowded. As people started to debate, they started arguing about the movie itself.
——Can there be a fourth installment in this series of crappy movies? Is Director Xu Cheng just relying on his past achievements? The box office of the third Flower Demon movie at the beginning of the year has been much lower than before, right?
——+1 to the above, except for the special effects, the plot of Flower Fairy is a mess.
——Flower Demon? A box office of 2 billion is good! You call this not okay? Who is this jealous person trying to find fault with me?
——Asking Ji Li to play the bald monk, I can only say that Director Xu was so obsessed with money that he even lost his basic aesthetic sense.
——I can guarantee that "The Demon Monk" will be a complete flop. The audience is not stupid. Which movie series would have four films in a row? Flower Fairy just ended at the beginning of the year, and a new movie was released in less than a year?? A bad movie is scheduled?!
——I spent so much time on this post, is it to criticize the movie? Are all the passers-by really gone? Right! Don't waste your data to chat.
Suddenly, everyone in the forum started to mock "The Demon Monk" and the male protagonist Ji Li. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what was going on.
There have always been many disputes in the film and television industry?
Isn’t it?
Some competitors were so afraid that "The Demon Monk" would become a big hit that they took out loans to mock the film for flop before it even started filming.
Soon, this post was pushed to the top of the HOT list, and at the same time, a new post was posted.
"Look! The finalized poster for the movie "The Demon Monk" has been released?! Ji Li is amazing!!"
There was a black post causing trouble earlier, and netizens who were browsing the forum saw this new post and clicked "enter" out of curiosity, only to be speechless with the beauty of it.
The official released three finalized posters for the series at one time.
The first one is a picture of a holy monk wearing a white robe with gold inscriptions. His eyes are light and moist with a hint of wateriness, and his thin lips are slightly raised in an unnoticeable arc, looking so transparent and holy that no one dares to defile them.
The third one is black and red?
The hued shape of a demon monk, red eye makeup, complex and mysterious black and red neck lines, the evil smile at the corners of his mouth that is captivating, and the seductive red mole on the bridge of his nose, seems to be able to seduce people's souls if they look at it for one more moment.
The one in the middle is the most outstanding.
The saint and the demon stood opposite each other, one was pure and innocent, the other was a demon and charming. The complete sense of opposition rushed out, but there was a subtle sense of fusion of auras.
"If meanness is the norm in this world, I want to be that indelible, indelible white spot!"
"Where did all these gods and Buddhas come from? They are nothing but a bunch of despicable and shameless ants. If you want to kill them, I will kill them to my heart's content!"
"In the movie "The Demon Monk", Ji Li plays Chen Yi?"
Because of the previously hotly debated negative posts, the forum netizens were somewhat affected. They did not have high expectations for Ji Li's appearance, and they also took a calm wait-and-see attitude towards this series of movies.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the final makeup photos came out, netizens' attitudes instantly changed.
——Fuck! Oh shit! Oh shit! I was actually amazed by this design?!
——Ji Li is absolutely beautiful! What’s wrong with Director Xu Cheng’s aesthetic taste? He clearly knows what we girls want to see!
——The first three films of Divine Slayer all have female protagonists, so it would be nice to have a change of style with the fourth one! Ji Li is so beautiful that I am drooling.
——Let me tell you, Ji Li is the most handsome girl in the entertainment industry, don’t you have any objection? From his previous buzz cut to his current bald hairstyle, he can actually hold his own. Awesome!
——The holy monk is so fair and tender, the evil monk is so attractive! How did Ji Li do it? I almost thought it was a role played by two people.
——Daffodil, can I?! I can take it upon myself?! Start looking forward to the release of this movie now, hurry up!
——Hahaha, it’s time for my favorite face-slapping part again. The source of the photo in that post has been found. It was from a cosplay club from two years ago. And the OP even deliberately photoshopped the back of his head. Wow, you all understand, right?
Entertainment forums have never been a one-sided forum for fans of a single family. Even if the Ji family fans don't come forward at this moment, the praise from forum netizens is enough to explain everything.
The number of replies to this post increased, and in less than half an hour it was pushed to the top of the hot posts. As for the previous "ugly-looking" black post, it had been deleted without a trace.
Not only was the forum lively, but there was also an explosive amount of public opinion feedback on Weibo.
As the saying goes, a bald head is a better way to test whether you are handsome than a buzz cut!
Without the cover of the hairstyle, the flaws in appearance will be exposed one by one, but Ji Li's bald style not only did not affect his handsome appearance, but instead highlighted the three-dimensionality of his facial features, which is so fascinating that people can hardly breathe.
——I am willing to accept Ji Li as the most handsome man in the world!
——The mole on the bridge of your nose is the cinnabar mole in my heart!
——Help! This man is damn good looking!
——Ji Li = handsome guy, who doesn’t like handsome guys? So, who doesn’t love Jili?
——After all, he couldn’t escape Ji Li’s appearance attack and fell into the pit and lay flat.
More and more compliments appeared in the real-time hot searches, and countless lurking fans of the rival team were extremely jealous. They were particularly disdainful of this string of exaggerated flattery.
Do the fans here have any shame? Why are you pretending to be a passerby here? Unexpectedly, when they clicked on the Weibo IDs of these people, they found that all of them were real strangers.
Yes, it’s true that those who are praising it are the real passers-by and fans of The God Slayer. As for the fans of Ji Li, there is no need for them to control the comments or grab the front row.
I'm sorry, but Jilizizi can make a name for himself on his own, and we fans just need to stick up our proud little heads and click "like", it's always been easy.
The younger fans of the Ji family can be relaxed, but the older fans have become very busy?
Thanks for the invitation. I'm busy writing the article, but I've already imagined the beautiful love between the evil monk and the holy monk Narcissus.
Thanks for the invitation. I'm busy drawing and will be able to produce two beautiful character fanarts tonight.
Thanks for the invitation. I’m busy editing. Will there be two more people added to Ji Li’s collection of film and television roles?
Thanks for the invitation, I was busy photoshopping... wait, sorry, I almost forgot that we are naturally beautiful and don’t need any photoshopping!
Writing articles? The wife is busy, the master artist is busy, the editing teacher is busy, and the most popular krypton gold boss in the Ji family is different?.
He forwarded the official movie poster and attached a line of text:
@天天要吻泣叽哩: Pretty, cute, I want to kiss her.
The fans who followed the big boss’ Weibo account saw this update and immediately rolled on the ground laughing.
——Hahahahahahahahahaha, I’m almost dying of laughter.
——Boss, are you stupid? So what if you have more money? Jili will always be the man that you and I can never get, so can he only lick the screen like me?
——The boss’s love can no longer be controlled, and has become more and more unbridled over the past six months.
——I suspect that the boss is doing something pornographic, but I don’t have any evidence.
——Fuck, hahaha, the sister above +1, I think the boss wants to kiss more than just the baby (dog head.JPG)
——Oh, you’re getting more and more slutty.
The fan circle is an all-encompassing existence.
Jili is so beautiful, who wouldn’t want to kiss and caress her?
Besides, the boss's words and deeds are all within controllable range. When Jili Baby's works are released, he can also promote them in a serious manner.
The release of a movie requires off-site financial support, and the launch of a magazine requires a rush of purchases... At times like this, the big guys have never been afraid, and the amounts of money spent are getting more and more awesome.
Therefore, when faced with his occasional dirty talk, fans accept it well and even think it is particularly down-to-earth.
Since there are "girlfriend fans" in the fan circle, it's not surprising that there are "boyfriend fans" too, right?
Less than two hours after the movie poster of "The Demon Monk" was released, Ji Li made it into the top three hot searches with his good looks.
Within half a day, Ji Li gained millions of fans, and the total number of fans on Weibo exceeded 20 million in one fell swoop.
There are many stars who gain fans through film and television works, but Ji Li is the only artist who can attract crazy fans with just three makeup posters and share the same aesthetic taste as most fans.
Ji Li's nicknames in the fan circle have changed from the original "hard photo killer", "beautiful raw photo maker", "artificial tear gland", "famous director harvester", etc., to one more -
The most beautiful person in the world.
As the only male lead in the movie, Ji Li boosted the popularity of the movie with his absolute advantage. Not only that, the posters of other actors also benefited from it and became more discussed.
"I didn't see it wrong! Is Xu Yanzhi the actor who plays Yan Su? I didn't expect that he would come back to make movies again."
"I remember he's Director Xu's nephew, right? Why didn't he play the male lead? Or did he play the male supporting role?"
"The above people please stop attracting negative attention. We fans are very happy that Yan Zhi can come back to act!"
"Xu Yanzhi has been handsome since he was a kid! I hope he can stay in the entertainment industry for a long time this time!"
"The movie poster has such a great texture. Director Xu is really very popular. The guest actors are all big names who can carry a movie on their own."
"Is the filming about to start? I really like our Chinese-themed special effects mythology films! Hurry up!"
The online craze lasted for three full days before it died down slightly. When it comes to the most anticipated movies, "The Monk" must be one of them.
With such eager anticipation, the film "The Demon Monk" finally officially started shooting in Hengcheng.
All the scenes in the movie were carefully designed by the art team, which took one and a half years to build and produce as many as 200 special scenes for the movie. A large number of fighting scenes involving monsters, ghosts, and gods also needed to be packaged by the visual effects team in post-production.
Therefore, unlike the on-location shooting of ordinary movies, the movie scenes of the Divine Slayer series were all built in advance.
This time, the entire indoor studio area of "The Demon Monk" reached 5,000 square meters, and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were consumed in the early stages alone.
It is said that Xu Cheng and the producers are just trying to make quick money? That's totally wrong?
Who says that movie series can only get worse and worse? Their "The Demon Monk" is bound to break the box office records set by the first three films!
Just wait and see!
Hengcheng has already entered winter in November. The cold air came particularly early this year, and there was an indescribable damp and cold feeling indoors.
The cold air poured in from all directions, so fiercely that it seemed to penetrate into the gaps between bones.
Ji Li was sitting in the dressing room, wrapped in a cotton coat, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, with a standing heater on the side, but she still felt the cold.
The first shoot today was near a pool, and I could only wear a thin costume in the scene. I think it was going to be a tough battle.
Yu Fuya felt distressed. "You are afraid of cold, so filming in winter will be a torture. I have asked someone to prepare ginger soup. Drink some to warm yourself up before filming later."
"good."
No matter how cold it is, we still have to do serious work.
Ji Li picked up the script and went over the content that was going to be filmed later.
This is the first scene where Chen Yi appears in the movie. While walking in the forest, he notices unusual movements around him. A monster has been following him with murderous intent.
It's been a long time since I encountered such a foolish monster.
Chen Yi was in a playful mood and pretended to be unaware of the situation as he approached the deep pool. Ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake, and a huge water python monster rushed out.
She wrapped Chen Yi around her body, and before he even ate him, she fell in love with his appearance.
It was in this situation that Chen Yi launched a counterattack that was like crushing an ant.
This is the first climax at the beginning of the movie, mainly used to shape the character of the evil monk.
If the first impression of the core characters in a movie is good, the audience's overall impression of the movie will improve.
This shows the importance of this scene.
About half an hour later, Ji Li was brought by the staff to a place in the studio.
The deep mountains and old forests, the fallen leaves and dead vines, and the eerie atmosphere give people a sense of inexplicable danger.
The scenes that look real were actually built in advance by the art team and the prop team.
Xu Cheng saw Ji Li and waved, "Ji Li, come here."
Ji Li walked closer and nodded to Xu Yanzhi who was standing next to Xu Cheng.
There is no scene for Xu Yanzhi today, but after the filming started, he chose to stay in the crew's studio just to watch Ji Li's next first scene.
"Director Xu." Ji Li didn't know what he was thinking, and said to Xu Cheng, "I'm ready."
"Ji Li, do you know what the most difficult part of today's scene is?"
"It's a performance without physical objects, and my opponent is a ball of air," Ji Li expressed.
The water snake needs to be produced through post-production special effects. If Ji Li wants to shoot it now, it can only be a "one-man show".
In rivalry, the actors can convey emotions to each other and complete the performance through their aura.
One-man show can shape the role and complete the performance through the actor's own psychological changes.
But the next scene is different——
Ji Li acted opposite the air on the set, but when the movie was released, the audience saw him and the anaconda monster.
Can their eyes meet? Can the emotions match? These are the difficult parts of the test.
"I heard that you usually passed the first screening of your previous movies in one try." Xu Cheng first praised him and then asked with a smile.
"How many times do you plan to pass this first scene without physical objects?"
Ji Li looked at everything that the crew had already prepared and replied calmly, "Director Xu, I can shoot the next storyboards in one go."
The author has something to say: #叽哩: There is no such thing as NG and start over in my dictionary.
↑The above words come from Asi’s mother’s eyes. Although there are some exaggerated jokes, our Jili is really awesome! ! !
