"Just a few seconds is too little."
Although it is a play by a big director, the role given to her is dispensable and she is just a vase that appears on the screen.
If he performs well, the box office has nothing to do with him, but if he performs poorly, he will be criticized, which is not worth it.
"Sister Li, what we lack right now is exposure. Instead of wasting time in a bad drama, why not guest-star in a role that will impress others?"
"Okay." Li Ai sighed and agreed to his request. "Next time you need something, ask Xiao Zhao to follow you so you don't get photographed by the paparazzi."
"Got it. I'll go back first."
"Go ahead."
Li Min called to say the transfer was complete and the keys had been handed over to her mother. Xu Jing felt relieved after calling to confirm.
Now that the elderly have been settled, it’s time to take care of your own affairs.
Xu Jing contacted Director Li to perform the scenes he was owed.
Director Li had been looking forward to this Buddha for a long time, and finally it came.
As soon as someone arrived, he was immediately dragged into the dressing room.
After spending two hours putting on makeup, the moment he saw him, Director Li felt that he had found the character in the book.
The sickly makeup he wears now, combined with his figure, makes him look just like Qiao Wan from the book.
The actor Wu Yi, who was acting opposite her, blushed at the sight of her. "Director, where did you find her? She looks so much like him."
"You must be envious. Act well and try to get it done in one take."
Director Li didn't have much time left. Although "Peerless Beauty" was not a weekly drama, he had been delayed in Hengdian for a long time. In order to avoid excessive consumption, he strictly required the actors to get it right in one take.
This scene tells the story of the young general Lu Huaizhi who was playing snowballs with others on a snowy day and accidentally injured Qiao Wan, the daughter of an official who had just moved in next door.
Qiao Wan was already in poor health, and when she got off the car, she was hit by a snowball thrown at her and fell into the snow unexpectedly.
The maid hurried to help her. Wu Yi looked at the girl in the bright red brocade jacket, and a ripple of emotion welled up in his heart. He didn't show it on his face, but looked up and said, "You are so useless."
What answered him was Qiao Wan's angry glare and the maid Chun Liu's cursing.
After Qiao Wan returned home, she had a high fever that wouldn't go away for three days and three nights, and she almost died of the burn.
Mrs. Qiao came to argue, and General Lu, in a rage, used family discipline on Lu Huaizhi. The cane whipped Lu Huaizhi's back until it was bloody and his consciousness was blurred. Lu Huaizhi hated Qiao Wan.
Before his injury healed, Lu's father asked him to take the blame and apologize to Qiao Wan.
It was a snowy day, with a cold wind blowing outside. Lu Huaizhi was bare-chested, with a bramble tied behind his back, kneeling in the snow.
No matter what the Qiao family said, Lu Huaizhi was as stubborn as a donkey and refused to get up.
Until the door of the boudoir opened, Qiao Wan, wrapped in a red brocade robe, walked towards him with a swaying step.
With every step she took, Lu Huaizhi felt that she might fall at any time.
She staggered to him, a trace of apology on her pale face. She said: "I, I'm fine, you go back."
In an instant, the anger in Lu Huaizhi's heart disappeared without a trace. He could not forget those clear eyes that day, nor could he forget her stubbornness as she walked towards him step by step.
She is like a crumbling snow lotus, which should have bloomed on the snow-capped mountains but now has to shrink in the world due to illness.
His heart was moved, and he rushed forward without hesitation, shielding himself from the wind and frost with his arms. "Go back quickly, it's cold outside."
At this moment, he regretted very much why he did not bring a fox fur cloak to protect her from the wind and frost.
"No, it's okay." The curve of her lips cut through the obstacles in her heart and easily took away all his attention.
Qiao Wan is so beautiful. He has lived for more than ten years and this is the first time he has seen such a beautiful girl at the border.
In order to see her more often, Lu Huaizhi would find excuses to go to Qiao's house every day to see her, watch her get better day by day, and dance with swords and play music for her.
As the days of knowing each other grow longer, my love for you only grows stronger.
During the Lantern Festival, he accompanied Qiao Wan to go shopping and see the lanterns.
The crowd surged, and he protected her as they walked forward, inevitably making physical contact. Lu Huaizhi naturally took her hand, and as the fireworks blazed, he whispered in her ear that he loved her.
In the scene painted by fireworks, a touch of sunset glow stained her cheeks. He held her hand, unwilling to let go. "Wait for me every night, I will marry you."
She smiled without answering, her eyes moving, telling him clearly that she was the same.
Before he had time to ask his parents for an arrangement, something big happened in Lu Huaizhi's family.
Concubine Lu in the capital died of illness, and the emperor issued an imperial decree ordering Lu Huaizhi to come to the capital as a hostage.
He was forced to leave the border, and the only person he couldn't let go of was Qiao Wan.
Before leaving, he met with Qiao Wan, gave her the family heirloom jade pendant as a token of trust, and promised that he would return to the border to marry his bride within five years.
Unexpectedly, after he returned to the imperial capital, Tubo rebelled and Lu's father was sent to quell the rebellion and died on the battlefield.
The emperor sent other people to fight, but they were defeated again and again, and the border was always in turmoil.
Lu Huaizhi volunteered to go to the border to fight, but was rejected.
That night, he received a letter from home at the border.
Tubo captured Wancheng at the cost of 50,000 casualties. After Wancheng was captured, the Tubo garrison announced a massacre of the entire city.
The Lu family fought to the death, and no one escaped, and all died.
The destruction of his family was not the worst of it. He also received a blood-stained jade pendant from the border.
In the Qiao family, his fiancée, Qiao Wan, also met an untimely death. Because of her beauty, she was possessed by the enemy leader and died after enduring inhuman torture on the eve of his request for his life.
Lu Huaizhi fell seriously ill because of this, and was a completely different person after waking up.
He began to tone down his edge and learn to be tactful in dealing with people.
After receiving the emperor's compensation, he said nothing and began to bide his time and avoid the spotlight.
When the country had no one available, Lu Huaizhi stepped forward and carried the coffin to the battlefield.
By defeating the enemy with fewer troops, Lu Huaizhi quickly gained the upper hand and recovered the lost territory in two years.
On the day of his ennoblement, he placed Qiao Wan's tablet in the ancestral temple. Using the ancestral hall, he worshipped with her tablet and got married.
After Qiao Wan's death, Lu Huaizhi sealed his heart and locked away his love until he met someone who looked like Qiao Wan and then slowly opened his heart.
But only when he wakes up in his dreams at midnight can he avoid deceiving others.
His Wanwan died in the year he loved her the most.
No matter how outstanding the person who comes after her is, he will no longer be her.
"Okay, congratulations to Ji Wan on finishing the filming."
Xu Jing was quicker to leave the role than the male actor, patted his shoulder and said, "Are you okay?"
"Teacher Ji, you acted so well." Wu Yi was a newcomer trained by Director Li. He had very little acting experience and his facial expressions often fluttered due to his emotions, which delayed a lot of filming time.
He originally thought that this scene would take at least three days to shoot, but unexpectedly it was finished in a day and a half. I have to say that Ji Wan's emotional acting was really good, and he was immersed in the role.
