Qin Li came back to his senses and handed over the script and backpack in his hand. "During the filming just now, you handled the arm details very well. I misunderstood before. I'm sorry."
The second half of the sentence refers to his questioning of Ji Li about moving the props. The last two words were pronounced a little more heavily.
Ji Li was stunned for a second, and then the smile in his eyes became even more intense. He didn't expect that an actor like Qin Li would choose to apologize to a newcomer like him for such a trivial matter.
"Where did the misunderstanding come from?" Ji Li took his things and easily turned the page on the matter. "Where's Zhang Ming? Why is my backpack here with you?"
"He had something urgent to do and had to leave." Qin Li briefly explained, and then asked, "Where are you staying tonight? Will someone pick you up?"
The young man has two more performances tomorrow, so he should spend the night in Hengcheng. But throughout the whole day, no company personnel were seen around the other party.
"I'm alone, and the company has arranged a place for me to stay." Ji Li took out his phone and clicked on a reservation message. "But where I live is a bit far from the crew's hotel, and the crew bus is not on the way, so I guess I'll have to take a taxi."
He had just changed his clothes and went to inquire about this matter.
"The location of the No. 4 Film and Television Base is remote. I heard that it is difficult to get a taxi at this time." Qin Li glanced at his watch.
He has come to Hengcheng to shoot several movies and is familiar with the location of each film and television base.
Ji Li frowned in distress and was about to think of another way when he heard the other party say, "Come with me. I'll ask the driver to take you back on the way."
"...Teacher Qin Li, can I go with you?" Ji Li hesitated.
After all, their status in the entertainment industry is very different. If they were photographed by paparazzi, who knows what kind of nonsense they would make up.
"Just asking the driver to drop off the crew members, what's the big deal?" Qin Li guessed his thoughts and a little smile welled up in his heart.
If it was any other new actor, he might have taken this opportunity to get close to him, but the guy in front of him did the opposite. He started to hesitate before he even got close to the popularity.
"Let's go. The area around the crew is sealed off and outsiders can't come in." Qin Li explained softly and turned around first.
"Okay." Ji Li was not the type to be stubborn. After his hesitation was dispelled, he simply followed.
…
When the two men approached the RV, Qi An happened to be coming back from taking the major general for a walk.
As soon as the dog saw Qin Li, it broke free from the leash and ran up to play around, howling excitedly, and its tail almost turned into a propeller.
Ji Li liked dogs and looked at it with interest, "Teacher Qin Li, is this your dog?"
"I picked him up from the garbage dump. His name is Major General. I've had him for four years." Qin Li touched the dog's head and stopped him. "Be quiet. Stop making noise."
When the major general heard the order, he immediately calmed down.
It sensed a strange smell nearby and began to circle around Ji Li cautiously, sniffing the scent. After a few seconds, it began to wag its tail again.
"The major general seems to like you very much." Qin Li said.
"Really? It likes me very much?" Ji Li smiled, looking at the big German Shepherd who had already sat at his feet.
Qi An looked at the two people and the dog opposite him and spoke to regain his presence, "Yes, this dog is only enthusiastic towards Qin Li, and is indifferent to everyone else, let alone you, a stranger he met for the first time."
Now it can wag its tail at Ji Li, and you can tell at a glance that it really likes him.
"By the way, why did Ji Li come here with us?" Qi An asked.
Ji Li briefly explained it, and then saw Qin Li and the dog get into the car, and said to him, "You come on up."
"Okay." Ji Li followed obediently.
Qi An looked at the two people who got on the car one after the other, and raised his eyebrows subtly——
I was thinking about changing someone this morning, and now I can send someone off 'on the way'?
This man is so fickle.
…
The No. 4 Film and Television Base was a bit far away, and it took half an hour’s drive to the hotel where Ji Li was staying.
Qi An sat in the front passenger seat, separated from them by a foldable car wall. Qin Li picked up the tablet as soon as he got in the car and looked at the entertainment plan that the company had recently submitted with a frown.
Ji Li didn't disturb him and honestly chose a seat far away and near the window to sit. For the first time ever, the major general did not move closer to his master, but instead lay down at Ji Li's feet.
The street lights on both sides moved rhythmically backwards. Ji Li leaned against the car window and watched. He felt his legs were warmed by the dog and soon he felt sleepy.
The half-hour drive passed in a flash.
Qin Li noticed that the car had slowed down. He looked up and found that the young man had already fallen asleep. He lay on the table, his head resting on his hands, and his sleeping face looked incredibly adorable.
A very shallow curve appeared on the side of Qin Li's lips, so faint that he didn't even notice it.
——Knock knock.
The driver in the front row said, "Teacher Qin, we have arrived at the hotel where the actor is staying."
Ji Li was a light sleeper, and woke up with a start. He patted his forehead out of habit, and his voice was soft after waking up, "Are we there?"
"Well, we're here." Qin Li put down the tablet and said.
"Thank you. I'll be leaving first." Ji Li came to his senses, picked up his backpack and walked out.
Qin Li watched the young man leave, and before he could take his eyes away from the door, the figure appeared in his eyes again.
The colorful light outside the car fell on Ji Li's face, and the light source spread a little bit, then blurred in the darkness inside the car. The young man stood at the dividing point between light and darkness, and even the mole on the bridge of his nose and the smile at the corner of his eyes were seen particularly clearly.
"Good night, Teacher Qin Li."
"……good evening."
After a few seconds, Qin Li turned his gaze back to his tablet and suddenly felt that these plans were boring.
…
The next morning.
The crew decided to shoot in the restaurant, intending to film the meal scene where the Song brothers recognize each other.
As soon as Ji Li stepped into the restaurant after finishing his styling, he saw Qin Li standing next to the director.
He raised a smile on his lips and walked over to greet them, "Good morning, Director Zheng, and Teacher Qin Li."
Qin Li heard his voice and turned to look.
Ji Li was no longer wearing the beggar's clothes from yesterday. Instead, he changed into a beige garment. The waist belt with white patterns outlined his slender waist, making him look much taller.
Although there is still a thin layer of black powder on her face, fortunately there is no "deliberate" stain, and her facial features can still show some refinement and liveliness.
As Ji Li approached, he noticed something special, "Are we wearing brother clothes?"
Qin Li was wearing a black suit, and from the patterns on the waistband, it could be seen that their clothes were similarly matched. Without the cold solemnity brought by the battle robe, today's styling and clothing obviously have a more intimate and human touch.
The staff placed the fresh dishes that had just been delivered on the table, including a roasted leg of lamb that was golden brown and juicy.
Ji Li's eyes lit up when he smelled the fragrance.
He got up too early to have breakfast and was planning to eat something during this scene, but he didn't expect the crew to be so conscientious and serve such good food.
Zheng Anxing saw his greedy look and asked with a smile, "Are you hungry?"
"Yes, a little bit." Ji Li nodded truthfully.
"You guys just sit down and rehearse your scenes. Once you're ready, you can start filming," Zheng Anxing said.
This scene is very simple and aims to create a relaxed atmosphere.
On the second day after the Song brothers recognized each other, Song Yi took advantage of the noon break to take his brother to the only small, shabby restaurant open in the city and ordered a table full of dishes for him.
Song Zhao, who had been nervous, completely relaxed in front of the food. The two brothers ate and talked, and finally they found the family feeling they had when they were together before, and even began to imagine the future.
This scene is one of the few heartwarming moments in the script.
Ji Li and Qin Li tried the play twice and felt that it was fine. Zheng Anxing did not waste any time. He sat in front of the monitor and shouted "Action", and the three cameras started at the same time.
Song Zhao, played by Ji Li, stared at the table full of dishes and swallowed slightly. He hadn't seen so much food in many years, and he wanted to stuff it all into his stomach.
However, he didn't dare to move until his brother started eating.
What should I do if I don’t eat properly and the other person dislikes me?
Ji Li thought of this and raised his eyes cautiously.
Qin Li met his humble and cautious gaze, took a breath, and said, "Zhao'er, just eat if you are hungry, just like when you were a child, eat as much as you want."
Ji Li clenched his clothes tightly with sweaty palms, but still didn't dare to pick up his chopsticks, "...Brother, eat first."
"Okay." Qin Li suppressed his heartache and forced a smile on his face. He put the rare piece of meat into the other person's bowl and said, "I remember that you like meat the most. Come and try it to see if it suits your appetite. Eat it however you want. Brother won't blame you."
The meat in the bowl gave off an enticing aroma, and Song Zhao finally gave in.
Ji Li eagerly picked up the chopsticks and put the piece of meat into his mouth. His hungry instinct overcame his reason and he swallowed the piece of meat in one gulp without even chewing it.
After finally tasting the meat, how could I continue to pretend?
Ji Li clenched his chopsticks tightly, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Qin Li opposite him, his face flushed with anxiety, "Brother, I, I want to..."
Qin Li understood immediately, and he used chopsticks to put the dishes on the table into the other person's bowl one by one. Ji Li was delighted and buried his head in the bowl, randomly picking up the food that the other party had brought.
One of them picked up the food while the other ate. The unfamiliarity between the brothers disappeared completely in this back and forth.
Song Yi looked at the bruised face and suddenly remembered the past——
When Song Zhao was a child, he was picky about food. No matter how his parents fed him, he refused to eat. But he just listened to his older brother. Every time he ate, Song Yi would hold a small bowl and feed him a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of vegetables.
Later, war destroyed their home and took away their parents. Song Yi fled with his younger brother. When the latter had a fever and fell into a coma, Song Yi fed him soup bit by bit to keep him alive.
I thought I had lost my loved ones in this world, but now this concern is back.
Qin Li looked at Ji Li tenderly, and the latter raised his head at the right time.
The two looked at each other, and suddenly, Ji Li tore off a piece of mutton and quickly stuffed it into Qin Li's mouth.
He moved his stuffed cheeks and said vaguely, "Brother, this mutton doesn't smell bad, you try it."
Qin Li was slightly stunned.
This was an action added by the other party on the spur of the moment. It was not in the script, nor in the first two auditions.
Zheng Anxing in front of the monitor also noticed this. His eyes lit up slightly, and unexpectedly he did not shout "Stop".
As a qualified actor, on-the-spot reaction is indispensable. Seeing that the filming had not stopped, Qin Li began to slowly chew the mutton in his mouth, while his eyes never left Ji Li opposite him.
The worry in my heart turned into a smile in my eyes, which gradually came out.
Ji Li looked at him eagerly, and asked expectantly, "Brother, is it delicious?"
Qin Li smiled affirmatively, "The meat Zhao'er picked for me must be delicious. Give me another piece."
"Okay!" Ji Li tore off another piece of meat for him and handed it to him, "Brother, here you go."
Qin Li didn't do anything, but moved closer and took the food with his mouth.
Zheng Xing'an looked at the two people in the camera and secretly shouted "wonderful" in his heart.
Once this interaction is added, the care and dependence between brothers is no longer one-sided, but a two-way concern and care.
At this moment, Song Yi was no longer a high-ranking general, and Song Zhao was no longer a timid beggar. Although the war separated the two and made them grow up in different environments, it did not block the blood ties between them, and when they met again, they were still the same as before.
The script supervisor Cheng Yin stood in the corner and secretly took another quick photo of the two of them. His heart was throbbing with cuteness.
The general looked at his brother with such tender eyes that tears almost came out of his eyes! And my younger brother, he looks so cute no matter how you look at him while eating!
The most important thing is, the look in their eyes when they looked at each other was almost tearing tears!
How can this be called brotherhood? Clearly...
Woohoo, no one understands how happy she is at this moment! No one!
In the camera, Qin Li and Ji Li's scene is still going on——
"Brother, I want to go back to my hometown."
"Okay, once the chaos in the enemy country is resolved, I will resign from my position and take you back."
"If that grapefruit tree was still there..."
"Brother will help you pick it."
Immersed in the joy of reunion, the two people envisioned the future, little knowing that they would soon be separated forever.
"Cut! Passed!" said Zheng Anxing.
Ji Li broke free from the role and immediately apologized to Qin Li, "I'm sorry, I changed the action without discussing it with you. I just thought that this expression would better highlight the relationship between the two characters."
"Ji Li, your action just now was very good. It directly brought out the character's tension to the maximum." Zheng Anxing agreed first and recognized the other party's performance from the bottom of his heart.
Not only did he perform every scene perfectly, but the character effects he delivered were also perfect. He is truly a wonderful actor.
Qin Li naturally noticed the finishing touch. He adjusted his state and responded in a hoarse voice, "It doesn't matter. Actors should respect the script, but they can't be confined to the script."
Many of the wonderful scenes in film and television clips are often the result of the actors' impromptu ideas after they get into the role.
Before the two men stood up from their seats, a burst of surprised cheers came from outside the venue.
The staff made way for them, and a tall, thin figure appeared at the entrance of the restaurant, smiling deeply, "I'm here to visit you."
