Qin Li met Ji Li's gaze, only to find that his eyes were unusually clear, without the slightest anger. Even the grievance just now seemed like an illusion, as if he was just seeking a positive answer.
“…”
At this moment, Qin Li was unusually silent.
He was indeed worried about the acting skills of the new actors, and even before filming began, he could not completely put aside the idea of "changing actors".
But the other party's behavior just now is enough to show that he is concerned about the role of Song Zhao. Moreover, the empathy effect performed was not bad.
Qi An chuckled barely perceptibly, crossed his legs and watched the show.
Even if others don't know, how could he not know?
Based on Ji Li’s acting skills in the assessment video, his friends must have a good impression of him. As long as the rivalry between the two can be maintained, even if the casting director finds a talented young actor Zhou Qingming to replace him, I'm afraid his friends will be reluctant to let him go.
"Ji Li, we were initially worried that you didn't have enough acting experience and wouldn't be able to portray this role well, so we asked someone to find a backup actor." Director Zheng Anxing took the initiative to explain and praised, "But your acting performance just now was very good."
Both are true.
"Qin Li, isn't that right?" Zheng Anxing changed the subject.
Qin Li nodded calmly, "I don't mean to replace you, but for the sake of the quality of the film, I don't want any actor to fall behind."
As soon as the voice fell, Ji Li, who was sitting in the seat, suddenly laughed, "Well, I understand."
Anyone would be worried when the talented actor originally scheduled for the role was suddenly replaced by a "newcomer" like him. Finding backup actors is just a roundabout way to ensure progress on the set.
If Ji Li were in Qin Li's position, he would use the same method.
But now it seems that Qin Li should approve of his performance just now.
The other party is an actor of the "God-level" in the entertainment industry. Ever since meeting the real person, Ji Li has been looking forward to the next rivalry.
Ji Li moved his stool closer to the other person, his eyes flickering slightly, "Teacher Qin Li, don't worry, I will try my best to catch up with your opponent. If I can't, you can always change someone else."
Ji Li is confident but not arrogant. If the aura of the characters they play cannot blend in, he would be willing to withdraw.
Qin Li curled his lips, "Okay."
Zheng Anxing smiled and said, "We'll see whether you two 'brothers' can do this or not later."
"Brother Li, why don't we change into our costumes first?" Qin Li's stylist checked the time with the stagehand and leaned in to ask, "It's your turn for the next scene."
"Yeah." Qin Li stood up, signaled to the director with his eyes, and left quickly with the staff.
Zheng Anxing looked at Ji Li, who was sitting obediently on the small stool, and thought of the half-finished bread he hadn't finished. "You only ate half of the bread. Are you full?"
"Not full, but enough." Ji Li took out his script and flipped through it. "The dry rations given to the soldiers in the play are not enough to fill my stomach. If I eat too much outside the play, I won't feel any effect during the filming later."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Anxing looked at the young man with a serious look. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to talk to the young man about acting, so that his performance in the subsequent filming would not lag too far behind Qin Li.
Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
Ji Li obviously has his own understanding and expression of the role of Song Zhao. In that case, why not let him go and give Qin Li a try? If it really doesn't work, you can also do NG and then replay it.
Zheng Anxing thought about it, and finally smiled silently, "Not bad, act according to your own understanding."
After the incident just now, the casting director had already recognized Ji Li. He looked at the little beggar in front of him and scratched the back of his head in confusion.
Such a handsome newcomer is willing to dress up as an ugly one?
And from what the director said, his group performance was pretty good? Is this true or false?
…
In less than twenty minutes, Qin Li came back after changing his clothes.
Because the character he played, Song Yi, was a famous general, in order to pursue a solemn feeling for the character, the costume team put a lot of effort in designing the battle robe.
The black copper armor plates used for "defense" on the battle robe are very heavy, and wearing them weighs at least 20 kilograms.
But Qin Li seemed to feel nothing and walked briskly to the shooting point. He took the reins from the staff, stared at the stirrups and jumped up with neat and handsome movements.
The battle robe exuded a heavy luster in the sun, which made Qin Li's facial features more profound, and even his eyebrows and eyes had a bit of the sharpness that only came from a veteran on the battlefield.
After Qin Li sat firmly, he bent down and touched the horse's head soothingly. The smile on his lips suddenly diluted the solemnity on his body.
Ji Li stared silently, feeling that Song Yi had walked out of the book.
Wearing golden armor on the battlefield, riding a horse and singing a triumphant song, this is probably what it looks like.
Anyone who can reach the top of the entertainment industry must have his or her own unique charm. Ji Li was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, but when it came to Qin Li, he still sighed -
It’s really handsome.
He is so handsome that his male hormones are overflowing, and his body hidden under the costume must be amazing.
I don’t know who will be so lucky in the future to be able to…
"Ji Li, come and review the scene." the assistant director called out.
"Hey, here I come!" Ji Li stuffed his script into his backpack and hurried over. He looked at Qin Li on horseback and greeted him with a smile, "Teacher Qin Li."
"Well." Qin Li said in a businesslike manner, "Let's go ahead."
The next part is also simple.
Not long after the advance troops delivered dry food to the refugee beggars, Song Yi arrived at the closed city with his troops. In order to thank the general for his kindness, everyone spontaneously stood at the city gate to thank him and welcome him.
Song Zhao recognized his biological brother in the crowd, but the latter was unaware of his presence and just led the large group away.
This scene mainly depends on Ji Li's reaction. As for Qin Li, he just needs to go through the motions on horseback.
After the scene was finished, Zheng Anxing held up a loud speaker and shouted, "Everything is fine, right? If everything is fine, we'll get ready to start filming."
Everyone walked back to their designated seats, and then, the director shouted 'Action'.
The beggar who was hiding at the city gate and watching came back and shouted, "It's the Flame Wing Army! The army is coming!"
When the beggars and refugees heard this, they all rushed to both sides of the street. The sound of galloping horses rang out, and the leader jumped over the defensive fence at the city gate and tightened the reins.
The handsome horse with shiny black fur raised its feet and let out a loud and long howl, but was subdued by the man on its back and stopped steadily.
The assistant director looked at the footage captured on the monitor and clenched his fist excitedly, "Great! You are worthy of being Brother Li!"
This technique is almost as good as that of a professional horse trainer. This difficult action of leading a horse does not require a stunt double at all.
The extras were impressed by Qin Li's heroic demeanor, their eyes sparkling with light, and someone shouted, "General! It's General Song Yi!"
Everyone reacted and cheered. Soon, soldiers arrived to intercept them, leaving the main road for the army in the rear to pass.
Ji Li was pushed to the front by the crowd and looked up with curiosity and admiration.
Qin Li appeared in front of him on horseback. When he looked up, he could just see the man's superior jawline. "Be careful not to hurt ordinary people."
"yes!"
The uniform response inspired the people around them, but Ji Li's eyes trembled violently.
He stared at the man's profile in disbelief, and even hurriedly squeezed through the crowd to the front left. He straightened his body and raised his head, wishing he could see the other person's face clearly.
He was so anxious that his neck and hair turned red, but his mouth seemed to be stupid and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Don't go through!" The soldier in front of him stopped him.
Qin Li, who was on horseback, looked around calmly, but suddenly, he met a sight——
Eager and eager.
It is extremely pure yet contains thousands of words.
The moment she fell into his eyes, even the cheers from the people around him slowed down.
When their eyes met, the other person's gaze became even hotter. Qin Li unconsciously tightened the reins, quickly turned his gaze, and rode away.
The camera slowly moved forward, and Ji Li stared at the departing figure without blinking, with tears in his eyes.
"Cut! Passed!" Zheng Anxing said, feeling slightly excited. "Qin Li, Ji Li, come here."
He asked his assistant to play back the video and waited for the two actors to come back with a smile on his face.
Ji Li thought that he had performed well just now, and he had a relaxed smile on his face when he approached. In contrast, Qin Li had a calm face without any extra expression.
Zheng Anxing clicked on the playback, the smile on his lips getting deeper and deeper, until the scene where the two of them looked at each other, he quickly clicked the pause button, "As for this look at each other, you two handled it very well. Especially Qin Li, why didn't you tell me in advance that you changed the details of the script?"
In the script, it was clearly a fleeting glance, but Qin Li stayed on Ji Li for three full seconds.
In this way, the 'specialness' of the brothers that is different from others comes out, but it is not exaggerated. After all, Song Yi was a decisive general and would not pay too much attention to a beggar on the roadside.
Qin Li's face was tense, and he said, "If you think it's okay, then it's fine. Let the staff have their meal, and we can start shooting early after we finish eating."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the RV.
Qi An, who was watching, immediately noticed his friend's emotions and asked the director, "Old Zheng, was this scene really done in one take? I think Qin Li doesn't seem satisfied?"
Zheng Anxing looked at Qin Li walking away, then returned his gaze to the frozen monitor and suddenly smiled, "Of course, there is no problem at all. If he was not satisfied, he would have asked for a reshoot a long time ago."
Ji Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the focus of this scene was on him.
"Logistics, please serve the food. We'll try to shoot the afternoon scenes on time." Zheng Anxing said into the intercom.
"Director Zheng, if there's nothing else, I'll find a place to rest first." Ji Li said. He has a night scene today and cannot leave the crew for the time being.
"Well, go ahead." Zheng Anxing was very satisfied with his performance and said, "Get an extra lunch box at noon so you can eat your fill."
Ji Li responded with a smile, clutching his backpack and walked away.
…
The No. 4 Film and Television Base mainly features scenes of "border towns and wasteland sand". In order to speed up the progress, the crew naturally concentrated these scenes together for filming.
The protagonist of several scenes in the afternoon was Qin Li, and the story was about Song Yi leading his troops to station in a camp ten miles away from the closed city, and deploying various matters in advance.
We rushed to finish the shoot and didn't miss the crew's dinner time.
Qin Li was sitting in the RV eating. The major general squatted at his feet, staring at the braised pork bones on the table.
When Qi An got in the car and took a look, the dog was so greedy that his saliva was almost falling to the ground. He took out a pet bone from the cabinet and threw it over. The major general took it nimbly and hid aside, gnawing on it.
"There's another show later, can you handle it?" Qi An asked.
"good."
Qin Li had an easy time in the few scenes in the afternoon. What we are going to shoot later is the scene of 'The Soong brothers recognizing each other', which is one of the important scenes in this branch line.
Qin Li paused in his eating action unconsciously when he thought of Ji Li, who was going to act with him.
Before he could speak, Qi An beside him started laughing, "By the way, I just saw Ji Li on the way here. Guess what that guy was doing?"
Qin Li looked at his friend.
Qi An said, "He was helping the props team 'carry bricks' and he was working very hard."
Qin Li frowned slightly, and found it a little funny. "...Why would an actor like him go to help the props team?"
