After Li Qianwen led her inside, she arranged for her to sit in a corner of the venue.
This scene is the interior of an antique palace, and it looks like it's from a period drama.
Sitting in the corner, she immediately spotted Si Zhuoxi in his wheelchair, dressed in a cloud-patterned brocade robe with gold trim, and a gold embroidered sash that accentuated his narrow waist.
His lips were smiling, his features were incomparably handsome, and his phoenix eyes were gentle and warm.
Even as a child, the second senior brother was a handsome young man. Even when he was wearing coarse linen clothes and walking in the fields, he still had a calm and elegant demeanor.
He always looked at her with a gentle smile.
At this moment, Si Zhuoxi is acting with the female lead, who is wearing a light blue, neat outfit, with her hair tied up high and a blue longsword at her waist.
He looks dashing and elegant.
"Gu Qingqing, look what you were doing just now! You were suspended by wires, what were you afraid of?" A voice clenched its teeth and spoke, the voice preceding the person.
Director Liu Hongquan is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a stubble beard, wearing black glasses and a gray hat.
Holding the script in her hand, she stormed up to Gu Qingqing and Si Zhuoxi.
Seeing that the director was angry, Gu Qingqing shrank back behind Si Zhuoxi's wheelchair like a quail.
A pair of bright, watery eyes looked at Si Zhuoxi, hoping he would put in a good word for her, "Waaah, I'm really scared!"
Si Zhuoxi was always gentle, and seeing the director so angry, he could only try to comfort both sides.
"It's normal for Gu Qingqing to be scared since it's her first time being suspended by wires. Let's do it again."
Looking at Si Zhuoxi's gentle face, Liu Hongquan's anger vanished instantly.
This young actor is really good; he has a great appearance, great temperament, and a great temper. I'd like to work with him again in my next film.
In short, working with this kind of actor is a completely different experience compared to working with a star like Gu Qingqing.
There was nothing we could do. Gu Qingqing was the daughter of the Gu family, and she brought her own investment to the project, investing 80 million yuan without batting an eye.
For the sake of the money, he'll put up with it.
In today's society, who doesn't bow to money? Liu Hongquan isn't some saint; he has no principles. Otherwise, he wouldn't be making period dramas.
Ancient costume dramas are profitable now. They're quick to produce, there are many IPs, you can just pick a novel, adapt it, and film it and you'll make money. Plus, they have a fan base, so you don't have to worry about not having viewers.
Even if he didn't ask for anything, he should at least have done this action.
"Director Liu, calm down." Su Ming was watching his artist's performance from the side, and he was about to have a headache. How could there be an artist who was so difficult to teach?
He hurriedly grabbed the water from the side and went to Director Liu to apologize.
Fortunately, although Gu Qingqing is a rich girl, she knows that she is not talented and does not put on airs. She will do whatever the director says.
Otherwise, Si Zhuoxi and the others wouldn't have spoken up for her.
"Waaah, I'm so sorry, I made everyone work overtime again. Su Ming, could you buy everyone a milk tea? It's on me, waaaah. Please, director, let me try again." Gu Qingqing may not have much acting talent, but her emotional intelligence is definitely not low.
Seeing her pitiful state, Director Liu could only sigh and say, "Never mind."
He still has to coax those who bring their own funding to join the production team.
So Liu Hongquan told all departments to get ready and come back in fifteen minutes.
We also had the action instructor demonstrate it again in person, which meant he was teaching us step by step.
If he still can't do it, Liu Hongquan will have to put himself on a ventilator.
The action director is a genuine martial arts expert who acted in many martial arts films when he was young. It's just that the kind of exhilarating and cathartic martial arts films are no longer popular.
With ancient costume dramas being popular now, he could only work as a martial arts instructor.
He didn't even need to be suspended by wires. He supported the male lead's wheelchair with one hand, and with a graceful side somersault, he landed in front of the male lead, holding a sword in one hand, assuming a protective stance.
After reading it, Gu Qingqing swallowed hard. She could dance a little, but her arm strength was really weak.
She was suspended in the air with a wire around her waist at the request of her martial arts instructor.
However, her core strength was simply insufficient to support her in completing the side roll.
I tried several times, sweat pouring down my face, but I still couldn't get over it.
Liu Hongquan gripped the script in his hand, gritting his teeth, completely bewildered.
The thought of the more than thirty fight scenes to come gave him a headache.
At this pace, can we film this scene today?
"If all else fails, just tie ropes to all four limbs and let the machine operate her to perform the actions," Liu Hongquan said through gritted teeth.
Gu Qingqing was completely devastated. She admitted that she had no talent and blamed it all on her brother, who treated her like a cash cow.
"Miss? Is that you?" Su Ming called an assistant to buy milk tea and happened to see Si Jinyan sitting in a dimly lit corner.
Si Jinyan looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of her and smiled politely.
To everyone's surprise, Su Ming suddenly knelt down in front of Si Jinyan, who was so frightened that she stood up.
However, she remained completely calm on the surface, saying, "Mr. Su, please don't perform such a grand gesture."
At this moment, everyone else on set also noticed this. Si Jinyan originally wanted to wait quietly for Si Zhuoxi to finish her work, but now he suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Si Zhuoxi had actually noticed his junior sister when Li Qianwen came in, but he was too busy to greet her.
My junior sister is really beautiful, and she's much more mature than she was when we were kids.
As he thought about his childhood, the corners of his mouth curved into a wider smile, a visibly happy expression on his face.
“Jinyan is timid, Mr. Su will frighten her.” Si Zhuoxi stood up and stepped forward to defuse the situation. He was dressed in a magnificent golden robe, exuding both nobility and gentleness.
"Second Senior Brother." Si Jinyan called out as she watched her senior brother walk towards her.
The two of them standing together are truly a sight to behold. Both of them have gentle personalities, and their presence together brings joy and comfort to those around them.
When Su Ming saw that this young girl actually knew the newly crowned Best Actor Si Zhuoxi, and that they were quite close, he immediately stood up and went to ask Si Zhuoxi for help.
"Waaah, Mr. Si, you know Qingqing's level. She's really not good at action scenes. I watched Miss Si's rescue video yesterday, and I really think it's very suitable for the role."
Su Ming cried and wailed, then turned on his phone and showed the video to Si Zhuoxi.
To everyone's surprise, Si Zhuoxi's face immediately darkened when she watched the video from last night.
He said in a low voice, "Don't risk your life to save people anymore."
Si Jinyan smiled sheepishly, raising his eyes to look at Si Zhuoxi, whose face was dark and gloomy.
"I'm really amazing, and now I can even catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits," Si Jinyan whispered in Si Zhuoxi's ear, standing on tiptoe.
Seeing the slight pride in her expression, Si Zhuoxi patted her head helplessly.
My junior sister is really a handful, but Master said her cultivation is very high, even more powerful than Master's.
Of course, their master told them not to tell their junior sister this, lest she get too cocky.
