Qin Li, dressed in casual clothes, walked over. Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing looked at each other and stood up in surprise at the same time.
The former put his arm around Qin Li's shoulder and patted him, "How come you have time to come? Has Lao Zheng's movie finished shooting?"
"Yes, we finished shooting in the early morning. Qi An said that your crew is filming nearby. Before leaving Hengcheng, I came to check on you, the great director." Qin Li looked around and asked with a smile, "I hope I didn't disturb you? Is it your break time now?"
In Qin Li's film and television career so far, the only TV series he starred in was "Career Hunter", which was written by Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing. That year, he also won the Best Actor trophy for this TV series.
Yao Chuan recalled the farce just now, and his brows that had just relaxed were furrowed again. "Don't mention it. Xingyuan is an unreliable producer. He gave me a new actor who was afraid of hard work and fatigue. He quit after performing on the wire a few times."
"Oh?" Qin Li disliked this kind of attitude towards filming the most.
"Come on, everyone, have a drink." Qi An walked over with his long legs, followed by several assistants, each carrying a large box in their hands.
"Thank you Brother Qi, thank you Brother Li!"
"Long live Teacher Qin Li!"
The crew members cheered. Qin Li has never been fake in the circle, so he has accumulated a lot of good popularity and reputation.
Yao Chuan heard the laughter around him, and his irritability was finally relieved. "You are not in our crew, so why should I let you spend money?"
"It's my duty. It's just a small amount of money."
"Let's go, shall we sit down and talk?" Yao Chuan asked.
Qin Li nodded, and the group went down to the director's tent.
Ji Li didn't expect that his "stand-in" would be put to use the first day. At this moment, he could only sit obediently on the chair and let the stylist fiddle with his headgear.
"Do you feel uncomfortable with this degree of tightness?" The stylist looked at the handsome face in the mirror, his heart filled with joy.
She swore that this was definitely the most handsome stand-in she had ever seen, so handsome that he could completely replace the original protagonist He Ling!
"No, it's not uncomfortable to wear the headgear." Ji Li smiled at her politely.
The stylist was so mesmerized by the smile that he pretended to be calm and asked, "Why do you want to be a stand-in? With your looks, you can definitely sign with a company and debut."
"He Ling and I are from the same company, but I don't have any movies to shoot right now, so it's a good opportunity for me to follow him to a big crew to see some of the best scenes." Ji Li answered simply.
The stylist nodded thoughtfully.
It was an open secret within the group that He Ling 'brought money into the group', and since he started acting like a big shot just one day after arriving, the stylist didn't have a good impression of him.
Ji Li is obviously more handsome and has a humble and polite personality, but he can only be an anonymous extra.
This entertainment industry is so realistic and cruel.
The stylist felt a little regretful when she thought of this. She fixed Ji Li's hair, walked around to the front and said, "The stage manager hasn't come to urge me yet. I'll put on your makeup."
"Do I need to put on makeup?" Ji Li put down the script in his hand and said in surprise, "I'm just a stand-in. I have to wear a veil in this scene."
What's more, a stand-in cannot have frontal shots, and it is even rarer to see a male stand-in wearing makeup.
"It's okay, just sit down and I'll do a simple makeup for you." The stylist had her own selfish motives. In their profession, nine out of ten people are obsessed with appearance.
From her years of observation, Ji Li is definitely a rare gem. If I help the young man dress up myself, what if he is noticed by the big boss of the crew and is asked to play the leading role?
She is doing good things, and she does it willingly.
It didn't take long for the stylist to feel 'abrupt' about his decision.
When she looked closely, she realized that with the young man's naturally handsome face, there was no need for makeup! This skin looks like it has been soaked in milk, how can it be so white and delicate? Not a single pore can be seen.
Her watery eyes seem ruthless yet affectionate, easily making people fall in love with her. Her lips are a light red, the color is just right. The most amazing thing is the mole on the bridge of her nose, which is a godsend!
Because of this, the young man's originally pure and fairy-like face secretly added a bit of sexy temptation.
——It makes people want to commit a crime!
These five big words popped into the stylist's mind and he couldn't help but take a breath.
"What's wrong?"
"You are so beautiful that I have a hard time starting." The stylist praised sincerely.
Ji Li was amused by her, "Thank you."
The stylist still didn't dare to "damage" the face too much, and only added some eye makeup after a simple base.
Ji Li had just changed into his costume when the stagehand came over on time and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Alright." The stylist smoothed Ji Li's hair and showed it off with a smile, "Brother Lin, what do you think?"
When the stagehand saw Ji Li in ancient costume, he was stunned for a moment.
Although they have the same appearance, the temperaments displayed by Ji Li and He Ling are completely different.
He Ling's modern look is very outstanding, but after putting on the ancient costume headgear, his original face shape is elongated. Coupled with his anxious look as if "everyone owes him money", he looks like a complete dandy.
But Ji Li looks very noble in white clothes, his delicate facial features look very gentle, and the outline of the end of his eyes exudes a bit of sharpness, giving him the feeling of a 'King Jin' who is both good and evil.
Unfortunately, no matter how well he fits the character, he can only be a stand-in.
The stagehand pulled back his thoughts and said, "Don't waste time. Come with me to the assistant director first and try out the wirework moves with him a few times. Once we're sure there's no problem, we'll go find Director Yao for the official shoot."
The next shoot cannot go wrong or make the director unhappy.
"You've seen He Ling's situation just now. Let's try to get it done in one go when we officially start filming. Do you understand?" the crew requested.
Hanging on wires is a common occurrence for Ji Li. He nodded calmly, "Yeah, I understand."
After saying that, Ji Li put on a veil and followed the crew to the shooting location.
In the makeshift sunshade tent, Qin Li was chatting with Yao Chuan and others. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a white figure in the distance, "…Who is that actor?"
Yao Chuan couldn't remember for a moment, "A substitute, what's his name?"
"I don't know. It's a stand-in brought by He Ling." Fang Zhixing explained casually and looked at Qin Li, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking." Qin Li concealed his true thoughts. Since it was a stuntman, it shouldn't be the person he was thinking of.
A few minutes later, the assistant director came running over and said, "Director Yao, the rehearsal is almost done over there. I've asked someone to invite Sister Miao. Do you think we should start the formal shooting?"
"Well, we can't delay any longer." Yao Chuan nodded and walked quickly towards the monitor.
Qin Li and others didn't say anything and chose to follow to watch the fun.
The actress Xu Miaomiao, who played the leading role, finished her makeup and came up to Qin Li, smiling with a rare shyness, "Brother Li, long time no see."
She had always been a fan of Qin Li before she officially debuted.
"Long time no see." Qin Li smiled slightly, and his response was filled with a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance.
Qi An stood by and saw through it but didn't say anything.
Good friend is a typical person with a warm appearance but a cold heart. People in the entire entertainment industry praise him for his good temper and easy going, but there are very few people who can truly enter his inner social circle.
"Miaomiao, go and prepare for the filming first." Yao Chuan interrupted and mentioned the filming business.
"Okay." Xu Miaomiao walked back to the tree trunk and let the prop master tie her up.
Her wrists were once again rubbed by the thick rope and she couldn't help but frowning, "Is this stuntman reliable? Don't do a dozen NGs for me, or I will be unable to bear it."
"Sister Miaomiao, you've worked hard today." The prop master quickly consoled her, "The stand-in actor's trial just now went smoothly, so there shouldn't be any problems."
At this time, Ji Li had already pressed the wire rope and leaned steadily against the tree trunk. His eyes were closed under his hat, and he was quickly brewing the character's emotions, waiting for the sound of the board to be hit.
The on-site adjustments were made quickly and everything was ready in less than ten minutes.
In the woods, the mountain breeze brought up a smell of blood.
The heroine Xiao Ke'er, played by Xu Miaomiao, had tears in her eyes and looked at the bandit's body on the ground in horror.
Not long ago, she accidentally fell into a trap in the forest. These thieves were attracted by her beauty and wanted to humiliate her on the spot. At the critical moment, several dark red crossbow arrows shot from high above, piercing the foreheads of the thieves and killing them on the spot.
She was glad that she escaped, but what followed was a greater sense of panic.
She was not sure who was the killer in secret, and she was even more afraid that she would be the next person to die.
Xu Miaomiao tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes and looked around vigilantly, "Who... is it?"
There was an obvious tremor in his voice, and even his bound hands were struggling.
The camera captured the real red marks on her wrist. Seeing this, Yao Chuan, who was sitting in front of the monitor, had a hint of praise in his eyes.
This is what a real actor looks like. People like He Ling, who even have to use a stand-in for the "first appearance of the character", are simply not decent.
During the brief moment of distraction, a warm and pleasant voice hit everyone's eardrums, "... Sorry, it seems that I acted too abruptly and scared the girl?"
This drama adopts a dual mode of live sound plus post-production sound filling. As soon as this line appeared, it completely attracted the attention of Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing.
It sounds like a simple and ordinary sentence, but it actually captures the character very accurately.
Prince Jin Xie Yan is a man who appears gentle on the outside but is actually very cunning on the inside.
It will be revealed later in the script that these bandits were all disguised as Xie Yan's subordinates. He deliberately arranged this encounter in order to gain the trust of the heroine and use it as a point of entry into the protagonist's small group.
The subordinates thought it was just an act, but Xie Yan took advantage of their loyalty and killed them.
He had just killed someone, but in the blink of an eye he was speaking insincere and gentle words, and even the tail end of his voice was tinged with a hint of laughter. People who don't know the truth can be fooled by him just by listening to the voice.
Can a stuntman have such ability in delivering lines?
Yao Chuan immediately became interested and focused his eyes on the camera display of 'Xie Yan'.
Ji Li seized the opportunity and jumped off the tree with the help of the staff. His body was straight and his posture when he jumped down was very relaxed and natural, as if he was a master of light skills, and no one could find any fault with him.
The mottled shadows of the trees fell on him, and even the hem of his clothes was lifted into a gentle arc by the mountain breeze.
Ji Li landed steadily on the ground, exactly in a place with excellent light. At that moment, the white gauze as light as a cicada's wing was blown up by the wind, revealing the young man's stunning profile hidden under the veil.
Before everyone could see clearly, the face was covered completely by the white veil again.
The staff at the scene were in a daze for a moment, and suddenly they became itchy and anxious - damn, this stand-in is incredible! That second just now was too amazing!
It’s more than absolute.
It's exactly like Xie Yanbenyan!
Fang Zhixing's eyes lit up with surprise. As a screenwriter, he understood Xie Yan's charm better than most people.
The appearance of Prince Jin Xie Yan had to be stunning, even deified. Only in this way could a contrast be formed with the tragic ending at the end, arousing strong resonance among the audience and readers.
He is not only a heartless and ruthless villain, but also a tragic character with strong colors.
In just one second, others only saw Ji Li's profile, but Xu Miaomiao, who was standing in front, saw his entire face. She maintained her acting emotions on her face, but she was already howling in her heart -
Ahhh, why does this stunt actor have a halo when he appears?
With this kind of beauty, could it be that the crew deliberately brought her in to "attack" the heroine?
"Girl, are you okay?" Seeing that the director did not call cut, Ji Li continued to immerse himself in the role. He leaned forward slightly and reached out to untie the thick rope on Xu Miaomiao's wrist.
The white gauze on the brim of the hat accidentally brushed against the side of Xu Miaomiao's face, making her feel tingling. She subconsciously turned her eyes to the side and looked at the figure so close.
The face hidden under the white veil is looming, giving people endless room for imagination.
"Okay, it's okay." Ji Li stared at the scratch on her wrist, his gentle voice full of temptation, "Does it hurt? Do you need my help to treat it?"
"...It hurts." Xu Miaomiao unconsciously frowned, "No, no need, I'm fine."
When the two first met, Xie Yan secretly flirted and deliberately approached Xu Miaomiao, who was rescued, and was attracted to him.
The two actors' performances were just right. After a few seconds, Yao Chuan shouted, "Cut! Pass!"
The staff gathered around, Ji Li breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back and kept a distance from Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao came to her senses belatedly and quickly took her assistant to the lounge. She covered her slightly hot cheeks.
I was actually teased by a stuntman and blushed! She is such a loser!
Qi An quietly approached his friend and asked in a low voice, "It's been such a short time since we last met, how come Ji Li ended up being a stand-in in Director Yao's group?"
The moment the white veil was lifted, those sitting in front of the monitor recognized Ji Li.
Qin Li shook his head imperceptibly, his eyes always fixed on the young man.
Yeah, for no reason, why would you be so wronged as to become a stand-in? Could it be that someone is targeting me in the company?
The pulling feeling of the wire on his body disappeared, and Ji Li breathed a sigh of relief. He took off his veil and looked in the direction of the director's monitor.
The next second, he unexpectedly met a pair of deep and familiar eyes.
