"OK, passed." Yao Chuan stood up from his seat and smiled at Qin Li, "I didn't expect that after so many years, your nickname 'Qin Yitiao' has become more and more firmly attached to you."
Qin Yitiao, it only takes one take to get through the official shooting.
Qin Li came back, looking relaxed, "Is that all for today?"
"Well, the remaining two major scenes will be held tomorrow." Yao Chuan nodded. Today's scenes were just to give Qin Li and Ji Li some transition time to get used to their roles.
"Let's change the scene. After dinner is over, we will start filming the night scene between the male and female protagonists." He turned sideways to instruct the crew members and then turned his gaze to Ji Li.
"You and Qin Li should both finish work and go back. Tomorrow's scenes are crucial. Go to bed early tonight."
Ji Li agreed decisively, "Okay, then I'll go remove my makeup first."
He stayed up all night filming last night and only took a short half-hour break at noon. Now that I've relaxed, I feel a little tired.
After saying that, he and Qin Li exchanged glances subconsciously but tacitly, and the latter nodded at him imperceptibly.
It was not until Ji Li left that Yao Chuan took Qin Li aside and asked him quietly, "Qin Li, tell me the truth, is there something going on between you and Ji Li?"
"When we were acting together just now, I saw that boy's neck and ears were all red."
Qin Li raised his eyebrows subtly, then shook his head silently, "No, the things on the Internet about our relationship are all fabricated."
"Really?" Yao Chuan obviously didn't believe it.
"Really not, Ji Li was just too into the role. When we were filming the movie, I found that he really liked 'immersive' empathy." Qin Li analyzed and guessed.
Although it is not explicitly stated in the script, Xie Yan always has some inexplicable feelings for Xie Chenyuan.
"He must have understood the character very thoroughly, so he had such a natural reaction at the moment."
Yao Chuan nodded in agreement after hearing this. "However, the immersive empathy performance style is very hurtful. I don't think that kid will feel relaxed after performing the two big plays tomorrow."
Qin Li also thought of this and frowned, "Let's find a way to make it quick tomorrow. Those two scenes in the script are really too exhausting."
"I hope you guys can cooperate well and give me a pass."
Yao Chuan patted his shoulder and joked, "Ji Li is so good at understanding roles. When I saw the shooting footage just now, I thought he was really interested in you."
Qin Li's eyes sparkled. He patted Yao Chuan's shoulder and avoided answering. "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go take off my makeup first."
"Well, go ahead."
…
Half an hour later, Ji Li, who had tidied himself, came out of the dressing room.
"Brother Ji, Sister Yu said the car is almost at the parking lot." Baozi came over with his small bag, "Let's hurry over there."
Ji Li looked at Qin Li's rest room not far away, a brief hesitation flashed across his brows, but in the end he did not go forward to disturb him, "Well, let's go."
It is still not appropriate for him and Qin Li to get too close in private, so as to avoid being caught in rumors and criticized.
The two left the set through the back door as usual, but surprisingly, in the parking lot where few outsiders came and went, there were actually a dozen fans waiting in the corner today.
There was nothing covered on Ji Li's face, and he caused a sensation among fans as soon as he appeared.
"It's Ji Li! Here she comes!"
"Jili! We are all your fans, can you sign an autograph for us?"
"Brother, you've worked hard on the filming! This is the gift I bought for you."
Everyone rushed forward and immediately surrounded Ji Li in the middle. Baozi saw that something was not right and stretched out his hand to stop them seriously, "Stop pushing! Stop shoving!"
Ji Li obviously did not expect this situation. According to common sense, the parking lot is under the control of the crew.
Although most of the gathered fans were girls, they could still push each other violently when they got excited.
Baozi was shorter than Ji Li, and it was very difficult for him to stop the man. His face almost turned red.
In order to calm everyone down, Ji Li had to free up his hands to sign autographs while calming them down, "I know you've all been tired after waiting for a whole day. I'll come one by one if you want autographs. Please don't get excited."
After hearing this, the fans calmed down a little, but they kept waving their hands to ask for autographs.
A black business car drove in.
At the same time, someone walked around Baozi and came up from behind, "Ji Li, I'm your male fan, can you take a photo with me?"
Ji Li glanced sideways and saw that the other person was wearing thick square glasses, a worn plaid shirt, and had an overly long and somewhat sloppy hair style.
The man in the shirt touched Ji Li's shoulder without waiting for his consent.
Ji Li's eyes suddenly changed and he involuntarily dodged to the side.
The man in the shirt seemed completely unaware of his resistance. Just as he was about to press on, Yu Fuya, who came rushing over, slapped him away.
Yu Fuya pulled Ji Li behind her and said, "Calm down, everyone. Do you want to see Ji Li get hurt?!"
This sentence was shouted loudly and forcefully, and instantly stunned the fans.
Baozi took the opportunity to help Ji Li get into the car and quickly closed the door.
Yu Fuya stood in front of the car door. She rolled up her sleeves and looked around sharply. "This is the parking lot reserved by the crew. How did you get in? Can you get the recognition of other online fans? I think everyone knows better than me."
"Everyone likes to support Ji Li, as his agent, I am very grateful. But in a relatively private occasion, please be careful about chasing stars. I look forward to meeting them in a formal occasion in the future. Thank you."
After saying that, she bowed to her fans, then turned around and got into the car, ordering the driver to leave the spot quickly.
Ji Li leaned on the car seat and looked at the fans who were getting farther and farther away, with a complicated expression.
Baozi patted his chest and let out a long sigh, "I was so scared, how did they get in? How long has Brother Ji debuted? How come there are fans following him offline?"
"Ji Li's popularity rose too quickly some time ago, and there wasn't enough material to support fans' curiosity, which led to this result."
As a newcomer who has just debuted, his popularity exploded and bad "complications" are inevitable.
Ji Li currently doesn't have many film and television works or magazine interviews to investigate, so some fans got excited and wanted to go to the set to catch him in person.
“Ji Li, don’t be too soft on your fans. Some people will only take advantage of this and get more than they deserve.” Yu Fuya warned sideways.
"I will instruct the production team and the company to strengthen the control of the venue. However, you should also be more active on Weibo and don't ignore your fans too much."
Operating normally online and keeping distance offline is the best way to get along with each other.
Ji Li nodded silently, his expression still not improving.
The crowd of fans just now reminded him of the unpleasant things that had happened in the real world.
Yu Fuya and Baozi looked at each other, both a little worried.
"It's okay, I'm glad you're not hurt."
The former took out a thick document bag and handed it over, like coaxing a child.
"Open it and take a look. Comfort your frightened little heart. Sister Yu will take you to eat delicious food tonight."
Ji Li was amused by her tone, "Sister Yu, I'm not a three-year-old child."
As he spoke, he opened the file bag.
Inside was a brand new movie script, with four big, clear words written on the clean cover: "The Time Lobbyist", third edition.
Ji Li was suddenly delighted, "Sister Yu, have you managed to get the third male lead in the movie?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Yu Fuya smiled and told the truth, "Although I believe in your vision, as an agent I still have to take certain responsibilities."
So, she took the time to read the first draft of the script.
"The subject matter is indeed different from previous youth films, and the third version has better details. According to the role of the third male lead, you can shoot for a month at most, which is not too time-consuming."
Chaoying Culture does not have any particularly good film or television scripts in the second half of the year. Since the young people have their own favorite projects, they should take it.
No matter what the ranking of the third male lead is, it is always a good thing to have accumulated suitable works.
"However, the investment in this movie is quite modest. If there is not enough publicity funds after its release, it may be buried."
Yu Fuya said the ugly words up front, "I have the obligation to remind you that you must be mentally prepared for failure."
On the market, some so-called "hit dramas" and "box office kings" are completely marketing-generated. In fact, the scripts are very low-level and have very bad reputations.
On the contrary, some high-quality scripts have no interest after being released due to insufficient initial funding and poor subsequent publicity.
"I know." Ji Li stroked the smooth cover of the script, his eyes shining with anticipation, "I always believe that a good script will not be buried."
Yu Fuya couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "The filming will be finished in two days, and you will have nearly half a month to rest and adjust."
She pointed at the script and made arrangements. "This one will join the crew in the middle of next month."
"good."
…
The closer it got to the end of the filming, the stronger the cohesion of the entire crew became. Everyone was tense and didn't dare to relax at all.
The next morning, Ji Li got up before six and did her hair and makeup.
Today is his wrap day, and he also has two crucial tough battles to fight.
Ji Li walked into the filming location with the script in his pocket and a serious look on his face. In the magnificently decorated hall, Qin Li was already sitting together with Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing, seemingly discussing the next plot.
Qin Li was the first to notice Ji Li. He waved softly, "Come here quickly. Did you have a good rest last night?"
"Well, good morning, Brother Li." Ji Li carried his small stool and sat down next to the three of them. "Good morning, Director Yao and Teacher Fang."
"You have to work harder today. I have already prepared the red envelope for you." Yao Chuan patted Ji Li on the shoulder.
Ji Li nodded and opened the script filled with marks again. He had memorized all the plots by heart.
In the thirty-seventh year of Dazong's reign, the late emperor passed away.
Xie Yan was about to ascend the throne with the 'last will' he had received early in the morning, but at the last moment, Xie Chenyuan suddenly joined forces with the Queen to counterattack and 'killed' Xie Yan by surprise.
They pushed the eleventh prince, who was only ten years old, to the throne, the queen became the queen mother, and Xie Chenyuan became the regent in the name of "assisting"...
Xie Yan became known as the King Jin who failed to seize the throne and was placed under house arrest.
People in high positions sent people to poison him several times under the pretext of "house arrest", and when they knew that he had escaped, they even intensified their efforts by sending people to assassinate him.
Being betrayed and hurt for no reason by the person you trust the most is like being pushed off a cliff from which there is no return. Xie Yan was driven mad with hatred, became numb with pain, and then turned into an indifferent monster.
This "throne seizure" plot is not only the root cause of the breakdown of the relationship between the uncle and nephew, but also the beginning of Xie Yan's dark transformation.
…
This scene is very large and involves a lot of extras. By the time a group of people were busy making arrangements, it was almost noon.
Everything is ready, and the actress who plays the Queen finally arrives in her best attire.
The other party is called Weng Mei Ni. Six years ago, she starred in a popular long-running palace fighting drama "Exquisite Bone", which once dominated the ratings for nearly five consecutive months. Her role as the heroine was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, not long after, Meini Yung announced that she had married into a wealthy family and was pregnant and had a child. The crew really put in a lot of effort to invite her to play the role of "Queen" this time.
After a brief greeting, everyone entered the audition stage.
Yao Chuan was afraid of draining too much emotion from Ji Li and the others, so he only let them rehearse their lines twice and perform the scene once.
Unrelated staff left the room, and Ji Li stood in the center of the hall, surrounded by soldiers holding swords.
Yao Chuan sat in front of the monitor and gave an order.
"The Queen is here--" came the eunuch's shrill voice.
In the side hall at the back, Weng Meini, wearing a phoenix robe, walked over calmly. Her face in the camera was so beautiful that it was beyond words. In just a few steps, she showed the dignity and spirit of a mother of the country.
"Sister Minnie is indeed a veteran in acting in palace fighting dramas. She has such a steady momentum the moment she appears on stage." The stagehand exclaimed.
Ji Li's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sharp light. Even though he was surrounded by guards, he was not at all panicked.
"My Queen, what are you doing?"
"You are such a daring rebellious son! The emperor has just passed away, and you are so eager to seize power and ascend the throne with a fake edict? Who gave you the courage?"
Weng Meini waved her sleeves domineeringly and asked loudly.
Ji Li lowered his eyes. The long swords surrounding him made his face look even colder. "Who is the Queen pretending to be for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Li pulled the hand of a guard and used the force to sweep away the obstacles around him. The long sword swept across each person's neck quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and blood splattered on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Li killed all the people around him, grabbed the sword and rushed towards the queen.
The queen was suddenly startled, and at the critical moment, the sharp blade stopped in front of her.
The blood of others fell on the corner of Ji Li's raised lips, "...If you are afraid of death, why do you have to seek death?"
The tone was understated, but the aura that emanated was completely different from that of cruel murderous intent.
Weng Meini was frightened by him and subconsciously took half a step back. Ji Li noticed her sudden action and quickly pushed the sword forward again.
"I have a debt that I've always wanted to settle with the Queen. Back then, my mother was framed and sent to the cold palace, and the nanny who raised me was poisoned to death..."
Every time Ji Li made a point, his tone became more serious.
"How much evil did the Queen do secretly for that useless Eleventh Brother? Not to mention me, how many people did you kill yourself in order to fight for the throne for the Eleventh Brother?"
Weng Meini had underestimated the expressiveness of this new actor beforehand, but now that she realized it, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"My Che'er is the legitimate son! Who do you think you are? The emperor was suspicious of you during his lifetime, so how could he possibly give you the edict to succeed to the throne?"
Weng Meini took a half step forward, letting the sharp sword tip press against her body, and said fiercely, "If you have the guts, kill me, the queen, in front of everyone!"
"I want to see who in this world dares to acknowledge you as the heretic dog emperor!"
Yao Chuan, who was in front of the monitor, saw this scene and felt a little surprised.
Weng Meini’s acting skills are good, but due to the limitations of the palace fighting role, she has always been a little reserved and unable to let go.
She was just being forced to act by Ji Li, who was fully committed to the role, and she was able to force out some of the madness that only the character could have.
If Yao Chuan were to say, the most hidden and cruel person in the whole play is none other than the Queen.
Women have the most vicious hearts, and this sentence is most appropriate for the queen. The relationship between Xie Chenyuan and Xie Yan deteriorated, largely due to her.
As he was speaking, an arrow was shot from outside the hall.
…
"Okay, it's passed! Actors, keep it up, and the props teacher, quickly install the props for Ji Li! Hurry up."
“Good director.”
The props team that had been prepared rushed forward immediately.
Ji Li closed his eyes and calmed himself down, letting the prop teachers fiddle with him. His left shoulder and clothes were treated and a bloody fake arrow was pressed on them.
In less than ten minutes, the filming continued.
Ji Li pressed his left shoulder in pain, blood staining his clothes red. Just now, a short arrow pierced his shoulder, leaving a bloody hole.
"Queen, be careful." The eunuch took the opportunity to protect his master, overjoyed, "It's the prince, the prince is coming with his soldiers!"
The sound of orderly footsteps was heard outside the hall.
As soon as Xie Chenyuan was carried into the hall, he met the young man's eyes of disbelief.
His eyes fell on the other's injured shoulder, and a flash of pain flashed across his pupils. He whispered, "From now on, no one will do anything without my order."
The head of the guards was startled when he heard this, "Yes."
Xie Yan did not hear clearly the conversation between the two people. He was originally confident of winning, but now he was suddenly confused.
Just as he was about to step forward, he saw the guards the man brought rushing up and mercilessly swinging their swords to hold him in place.
Weng Meini straightened her clothes, showing a look of joy at having turned defeat into victory, "Prince Duan, you came just in time."
Qin Li clenched his hands behind his back for a moment, then walked towards the other party, "If the Queen hadn't used herself as bait to let the Ninth Prince relax his vigilance, how could my guards have succeeded so easily?"
The ninth prince?
A strange and cold title that is frightening.
Ji Li stared at the man opposite him, his eyes turning red at an unexpected speed, and he shook his head in confusion and suspicion, "Uncle Wang, why?"
The trembling voice makes it easy to discern the grievance and hurt hidden within.
It shouldn't be like this.
You clearly said that you would be with me no matter what I do?
In the past, even if I was slightly injured, you would rush over to me the first time. How come you are standing in the enemy camp now and are indifferent to me?
Xu Miaomiao, who was watching, looked at Ji Li on the monitor and sighed inwardly.
Young people really have a special magic when they act.
Even a short line, once matched with his expression, can maximize the emotional ups and downs of the character itself.
Just like now.
Even through the screen, Xu Miaomiao could feel Xie Yan's grievance, and she was crying in her heart.
——Shit, I just spent the day shipping this uncle-nephew couple and already I’m giving her a live BE? This is too miserable!
The shooting continues.
Qin Li took out a roll of brocade from his wide cuffs, exuding a strong aura.
"According to my brother's secret decree, I appoint the eleventh prince as the crown prince from today onwards, and will ascend the throne on an auspicious day granted by heaven. Considering the crown prince is still young, I have specially ordered Prince Duan to assist him to protect the country."
Qin Li met the young man's gaze, and his face lost its usual gentleness and doting, and only increased its chilling disgust. "Ninth Prince, I advise you to surrender immediately. For the sake of the blood relationship with the late emperor, the queen and I can spare your life."
The sword in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Xie Yan laughed briefly and pulled out the short arrow from his shoulder with force. The intense pain brought him back to reality. His figure swayed two steps and he cried and laughed crazily twice.
The guards standing beside him had no time to draw their swords, and several more red cuts appeared on his body.
Xie Yan knew better than anyone that the will in his hand was written by the late emperor himself before his death, but so what?
He was so 'eager' for the throne, but he just wanted to protect one person.
What's the result? For the sake of power, the other party can push him into the abyss with a backhand.
Xie Yan wiped the tears and blood off his face in a ridiculous manner, and numbly bowed to the man opposite him, "...I am a guilty subject, and I will leave it to you, Your Majesty, to decide my fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly vomited blood and fell to his knees on the ground.
Xie Chenyuan's pupils trembled, and his fists hidden in his sleeves were almost bleeding.
…
"Card!"
Yao Chuan, whose face was tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief and struck while the iron was hot, "Ji Li, you performed very well. Let's add a few more shots. Qin Li, you also need to add a few close-ups."
Ji Li got up from the ground with red eyes and nodded sullenly.
The entire crew went through the process over and over again for nearly half an hour before Yao Chuan, a detail-obsessed man, announced the end.
Ji Li climbed up from the ground exhausted, his temples were throbbing with pain and his eyes were sore and uncomfortable.
Baozi and Yu Fuya, who were squatting at the side of the set, rushed over immediately, one on each side of him, "Brother Ji, are you okay?"
Ji Li didn't say anything. He walked around them and went to the lounge.
Qin Li, who was standing by, saw this and immediately frowned and walked over, "Ji Li."
Ji Li paused, looking at Qin Li who was following him with a swollen head.
The man was still dressed as Xie Chenyuan, but he no longer had the coldness and ruthlessness he had just shown, and the worry on his face was obvious.
Ji Li, who had not yet withdrawn from the role, had tears in his eyes almost instantly. He pursed his lips and said aggrievedly and unreasonably, "What are you doing here?"
But soon, he realized something was wrong, "Brother Li, I'm sorry, I want to be alone."
As soon as Ji Li finished speaking, he ran to the lounge.
Baozi and Yu Fuya were stunned when they saw this scene. The latter said, "Qin Li, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that child hasn't finished the play yet."
"I know." Qin Li was helpless, feeling a little worried about Ji Li being alone. "Don't go over there yet. I'll have a good chat with him."
If other actors did this, Qin Li would definitely not care, but he had seen the empathy between young people and characters.
Xie Yan in the play was betrayed by his closest relatives and was in great pain. This kind of emotional impact must have been difficult for the actor.
Thinking of this, Qin Li immediately chased after him.
Yu Fuya and Baozi looked at each other, confused about the relationship between the two.
"Sister Yu, what's going on? Should we go over there?"
"Wait a little longer, let Ji Lijing act out the show."
Xu Miaomiao in the corner accidentally captured this scene.
She completely lost her vigilance as an idol fan girl, and instead her eyes suddenly brightened up, and she almost stamped her feet in joy.
Thank you thank you!
I bumped into it! I bumped into it!
"Sister Miaomiao, what are you thinking about? The crew asked us to move the location and prepare for the shoot."
Xu Miaomiao's assistant looked at the blush on her face in confusion, "Is it hot?"
It's hot.
It's so hot!
Let her bear the passionate love of CP alone! She can!
Xu Miaomiao came back to his senses and pretended to be serious, "Well, I'll go over now."
