Chapter 113 Persistence
No matter how the two of them tried to justify themselves, the makeup artist and Liu Yue who came after them were all star-eyed.
What straight guy would ask to see another man's abs for no reason?
True love.
This must be true love.
The photographer was already prepared, and his eyes lit up when he saw Jun Qiulan.
Three hundred and sixty degrees without blind spots, this is what actors like Jun Qiulan are like.
Such an actor will look good no matter how he is photographed, without having to find special angles.
With several experiences of taking photos, Jun Qiulan was already familiar with the process, but before he started, Yan Jing called for a stop.
“Go to the set and shoot.”
The effect of shooting on site will be more impressive.
The photographer was also Yan Jing's personal photographer, and he made an OK gesture.
At the same time, he was muttering in his heart that the character of Jun Qiulan seemed to be really favored by Yan Jing.
No, being preferred is not necessarily about the role.
When the filming started on the scene, Yan Jingzhi gave Jun Qiulan ten minutes to prepare his emotions. The other actors in the crew were also in place and were discussing their upcoming movements and even the tone and speed of their lines.
No matter they are new actors or veteran actors, after a period of adjustment, they have realized Yan Jing's strictness and will not be careless in treating any scene.
Even the extras who just flash by have to put in 100% of their energy and 30% of their acting skills.
In other TV series and movies, there may be some inconspicuous extras having mistakes, but in Yan Jing's movies, this will never happen.
"Are you ready?" Yan Jing asked Jun Qiulan.
Jun Qiulan has already entered into the character's emotions, gently shaking an exquisitely crafted jade fan with a smile on his lips.
He said nothing.
So high-spirited.
When this character first appears, he is a nobleman at the center of power. Even the princes have to respect him. He is a well-known and most handsome man in Kyoto. No matter whether they are young girls or wives, they all want to come over and take a look at him.
But his smile and his behavior are all humble, only with a bit of arrogance in his bones.
When Jun Qiulan entered into this role, he was actually thinking about his past.
When he was fourteen years old, he participated in and supervised a government affairs, and did a great job. Wherever he went, people would compliment His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his unparalleled wisdom.
Even the eunuchs around the emperor were respectful to him. You have to know that the people who stayed with the emperor the longest were not any concubines or ministers, but only the eunuchs who grew up with him.
Although he is just a close eunuch, no matter how high your official rank is, you have to respect him.
But at that time, Eunuch Liu took the initiative to show goodwill to him.
He was not very familiar with the queen, but at those times, the queen would take the initiative to call him over and say a few polite words.
At the age of fourteen, the so-called miracle doctor had not yet appeared. Because of that political event, everyone thought that his position as the crown prince was secure.
Back then, he was young, energetic and proud.
Also so high-spirited.
Yan Jing's throat rolled over, "Sir, please."
Jun Qiulan smiled politely and nodded slightly, "Please lead the way, young man."
Yan Jing was simply at a loss for words. What was going on? Did they treat him as a doorman?
Jun Qiulan raised her eyebrows slightly and just looked at Yan Jing.
Yan Jing really lost to him.
The camera movement has been reviewed in advance.
Jun Qiulan stood at the position before his appearance.
Yan Jing glanced at him and returned to the camera. He suddenly wanted to shoot this scene himself.
The cameraman didn't seem surprised.
He made a gesture and everyone took their positions.
This shot is Jun Qiulan’s first highlight moment. When he first entered the scene, we had to capture his beauty, his nobility, and his cultivation.
This shot then forms a sharp contrast with the later plot.
The camera flashed green.
Jun Qiulan walked into the venue slowly.
A group of maids passing by, carrying plates, bowed their heads, made way for him, and knelt slightly to salute him.
He walked straight ahead without looking around.
Given his status, it seemed that such scenes were nothing new to him, and his gaze wouldn't linger on anyone.
Straight to the person he was targeting today.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke in the clear and melodious voice of a gentleman.
Needless to say, his ability in delivering lines is also excellent.
Jun Qiulan often feels fortunate that the official language in the two worlds is the same, otherwise he would have to face the problem of learning the language.
Just imagine, a handsome young man speaking in an incomprehensible dialect or poor Mandarin, how dramatic would that be.
The entrance shot ends here, but it is not completely over. Another shot has to be cut, which is called storyboard, and he has to go through it again.
Another shot was taken from behind Jun Qiulan, capturing his steps, his back, and the moment he walked in and everyone's eyes stopped on him.
A short scene was shot repeatedly many times, and every angle was shot to perfection.
Today it is said that Jun Qiulan has a role, but in fact there is only this one scene.
Given Yan Jing's meticulousness, this scene would definitely take more than a week to shoot.
Even if the film has already been shot, if he is not satisfied with it later, he may overturn it and reshoot it at any time.
The entire crew has gradually become accustomed to Yan Jing's fussiness.
However, everyone can understand why every one of Yan Jing’s movies is a huge hit.
He does have such strength and capital.
Most of the other crews shoot flying pages, for example, the plot of the same scene may be shot together.
After the shooting, move to the next location.
It is also a way for the crew to save money.
However, this may result in the hero and heroine being madly in love in the first scene, but becoming enemies in the next scene.
Dealing with emotions is really a test of acting skills.
But this situation hardly occurs in Yan Jing's filming. He almost shoots according to the rhythm of the entire plot.
At most there is a slight time difference.
Yan Jing would not let the actors shoot extreme joy in the morning and extreme sorrow in the afternoon.
Unless it is a specific scene transition.
In every scene, the actors' emotions and even their costumes echo and contrast sharply.
Moreover, Yan Jing particularly likes to bury Easter eggs.
Only a good movie can make people ponder it over and over again and look for those wonderful moments.
In fact, Jun Qiulan’s several highlights are quite scattered.
The first scene was his appearance. As the most handsome man in Kyoto, he stunned the audience as soon as he appeared.
The second scene is about Jun Qiulan's family being demoted, from a nobleman to a prisoner, a child of destiny falling into the dust.
The third scene is Jun Qiulan’s highlight, where he dances and amazes the audience, and it is also the beginning of his revenge.
In the fourth scene, Yan Jing told Jun Qiulan not to read the script too early, saying that he had not yet decided on the final outcome for the most handsome man in Kyoto.
It was originally written, but as Yan Jing was taking pictures, he suddenly became dissatisfied.
I don’t think it’s exciting enough.
Then the script has to be adjusted.
Jun Qiulan was speechless. He was an actor, so of course the director had the final say.
As a screenwriter, Tang Yan couldn't help but complain to him. People like Yan Jing are too fickle. They could never become emperors in ancient times, and if they did, they would be incompetent.
Changing orders every day.
Every time Jun Qiulan heard this, she had a hard time holding back her laughter.
To be honest, Yan Jing was actually quite suitable to be an emperor in ancient times.
If we say that he changes his mind every day, it is actually because he has his own direction in mind, and his past has also proved that his persistence is right.
Being an emperor is probably the same?
Jun Qiulan had learned a lot about the ways of the emperor in the past.
The old emperor told him that although he had to listen to the opinions of his ministers and balance the court, he had to have his own ideas in his heart and not be influenced by others.
Thinking of this, Jun Qiulan also sighed.
I don’t know how the emperor is doing now.
I heard someone say before that after he was sick, he started to seek immortality from a miracle doctor.
Throughout history, how many emperors who pursued immortality had a good ending?
fear death?
In fact, everyone is afraid of death.
It's good to be alive.
However, ordinary people do not have the ability or financial resources to pursue immortality. At most, they can ask a doctor to prescribe a few tonics to prolong their life.
The emperor is different. He owns the resources of the entire country.
Once someone says that he can make him live forever, no, even if someone says that he can make him live to be a hundred years old, the emperor will not give up this opportunity.
The court is now in a state of chaos. I wonder if the man whom he has called father for eighteen years still remembers what he said.
Jun Qiulan sighed again.
"What are you talking about? It's your turn now." Liu Yue reminded from the side.
Jun Qiulan nodded and quickly adjusted his mentality.
In one scene, several important actors performed so well that those watching on the side couldn't help but applaud.
It is indeed a wonderful play.
It’s just that Yan Jing shot slowly and meticulously. Just the scene where Jun Qiulan appeared took him a full week to shoot.
I don’t know if Yan Jing really prefers this role, or for some other reason.
Jun Qiulan has been repeatedly NGed too many times.
But Yan Jing didn't scold him or lecture him. He just told him calmly, "You can do better."
Jun Qiulan did not get tired of pondering it over and over again.
Try to understand the character and also try to understand Yan Jing.
After a busy week, the scene was finally finished.
Jun Qiulan also got a chance to catch his breath.
These past few days he has been filming, shooting over and over again, doing the same actions and saying the same words over and over again. Sometimes, he can't even tell what day it is.
He also had no time to care about things in ancient times.
His parents have bought a house in the city and have been busy renovating it recently, so he has no time to go and see it.
After finishing this scene, he had to wait for the next big scene. There were some minor scenes in between, but they were not too important.
No, it's still important.
It’s just not that difficult.
Jun Qiulan found Yan Jing and said he wanted to take half a day off.
"My teacher has something going on. I have to go over there tomorrow."
Yan Jing didn't say it was good or bad. On the computer in front of him, Jun Qiulan's performance was playing repeatedly.
Jun Qiulan's scalp was tingling.
No way, no way, no way.
Could it be that Yan Jing has a new idea?
Yan Jing couldn't help laughing: "Are you afraid of me now?"
Jun Qiulan also laughed: "I can't help it, Director Yan is too strict, reminding me of a strict teacher, the kind who would hit the palm of your hand with a ruler if you didn't behave well."
Yan Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.
go to school?
As far as he knew, Jun Qiulan had not received any systematic training and had never been to school.
Master?
Is there a private school in this mountain?
Yan Jing suddenly remembered that the third time he met Jun Qiulan was when Jun Qiulan was carrying large and small bags of supplies up the mountain.
In fact, Jun Qiulan was much thinner at that time and seemed a little malnourished.
But when he thought about Jun Qiulan living in a Taoist temple, he didn't think much about it.
He suddenly remembered that when he was helping to build the cableway, he also went to the Taoist temple. Except for the poor facilities and equipment, the temple had no shortage of anything for daily life, and the other Taoists all had rosy faces.
It seems that Jun Qiulan is the only one who looks a little thinner?
Also, he asked Jun Qiulan where he learned to write and paint.
Jun Qiulan explained that he copied it by himself and practiced slowly.
He also thought of the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, who also knew how to write calligraphy and used small brushes when copying scriptures.
So he didn't think much about it.
But, Jun Qiulan later had another master?
This master, Mr. Yan Geng, is even more mysterious.
My grandfather had asked him to investigate Mr. Yangeng, but he was not allowed to use any unconventional means. He used some conventional means to investigate over and over again, but he didn't find any clues at all.
Fortunately, he bought a lot of folding fans that were sold on the market by Mr. Yangeng at high prices.
Some time ago, his grandfather suddenly told him not to check anymore.
It also made him confused.
But that doesn't matter.
He looked up at Jun Qiulan and asked, "Where's the cow that grandpa gave your teacher? How is it now?"
Jun Qiulan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It's being raised quite well. The teacher knows that this calf was a gift from Grandpa Yan, and he's almost raising it as a pet. Jun Baisong is almost out of favor."
If he and his mother hadn't persuaded his father, his father would have wanted to raise the cows at home.
Although my mother and younger sister also like this cute and docile cow, a calf is still a cow, and it poops in large clumps.
Now, the calf and their donkey are neighbors, and the two animals get along well.
My father also went to the village to find an old farmer who had experience in raising cattle, and asked the old farmer to pass on some experience to him, and also allowed him to download a lot of cattle-raising knowledge in modern times.
Yan Jing smiled, "They get along pretty well as friends. If Jun Baisong falls out of favor, you can bring him to the crew to play. He will definitely be the crew's favorite."
Jun Qiulan said with a smile: "I'm afraid it will delay your filming."
Yan Jing's mind moved. Jun Baisong has always been quite smart and not afraid of strangers. "Why don't you consider signing Jun Baisong as an artist in your amateur troupe?"
"Artist? Jun Bai is sending an artist cat, right? What's the matter? Director Yan Jing wants to send me to his house for filming?"
Yan Jing couldn't help laughing: "I have this idea. It's not difficult to add a scene. Let's bring him over to watch it sometime."
Jun Qiulan was helpless and amused, "Okay."
Yan Jing had thought about including cats in his movies before, but most cats are afraid of strangers.
Also, cats are not very controllable, so it is a bit troublesome to shoot them.
For him, it would be better to take some interesting pictures of the cats in the cat park with his mobile phone.
But Jun Baisong is different. He is brave, good-tempered, well-behaved and cute.
The nobleman played by Jun Qiulan has a pet. Isn't that normal?
There were many cat lovers in ancient times.
"By the way, you haven't told me if I can take a leave."
Yan Jing was speechless for a while: "Can I still refuse you?"
Jun Qiulan was choked again, always feeling that Yan Jing did it on purpose.
He pursed his lips and said, "Then I won't come over tomorrow morning. I'll see if I can bring Jun Baisong over to play in the afternoon."
He didn't respond to Yan Jing.
We have known each other for such a long time, and recently we have met almost every day. Although we are in a crowded crew, we still find time to chat every day.
Although he has never experienced love, he is not a piece of wood.
He could feel Yan Jing's kindness towards him.
He touched his heart, completely unintentionally?
No.
His heart would also beat for the person in front of him.
He was just timid.
The responsibility on his shoulders is too great.
If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
And how can he confess his origins to Yan Jing?
Lifelong secrecy? Impossible.
There would always be flaws, and he hadn't figured out how to say it yet.
And he has been traveling between two worlds, and he is an ancient man, so he probably can't give his other half enough sense of security?
According to common knowledge, people in ancient times got married early. If Yan Jing asked him, he would of course answer truthfully.
But he had no way to prove it.
Moreover, Jun Qiulan was also afraid. What if one day he could no longer come here?
Where will Yan Jing go to find him?
Jun Qiulan lowered his eyelashes, hiding the surging emotions in his heart.
Otherwise, try taking Yan Jing with you?
I'm afraid this matter needs to be considered over a long period of time, so let's take it slow.
Yan Jing is a director, so he naturally did not miss Jun Qiulan's emotional changes in that instant.
Jun Qiulan's psychology seems to be very complicated.
It's like carrying a huge secret.
He probed again, "Last time I saw you had pretty good abdominal muscles. Have you been keeping up with them these days?"
The topic was brought back again.
Jun Qiulan held his forehead with his hand.
Last time, Yan Jing asked him to go to the hotel to see his abdominal muscles after filming in the evening, and he was really stupid enough to go.
As a result, after arriving at the place, the emotions between the two people suddenly became subtle.
Just lift up your clothes and let Yan Jing see?
I always feel it's weird.
Jun Qiulan thought of a scene at that time, where he lifted up his shirt, revealing his abdominal muscles, and then Yan Jing commented on his abdominal muscles.
It makes my scalp tingle.
In the end, Yan Jing asked him to take a photo himself.
Yan Jing didn't let him send it to him, but read it directly on his mobile phone.
I deleted it after reading it.
Then he said stiffly: "Not bad, just keep it as it is."
Maybe it was too awkward and delicate for both of them.
I was busy filming during this period and never mentioned it.
It suddenly came up again today.
Jun Qiulan was speechless for a moment. "You're still looking pretty good. What's up? I'll take a picture of you and send it to you tonight."
Yan Jing suddenly looked away.
He was obviously thinking of the photo he saw that day.
It's actually quite strange to make such a request.
If it is really a relationship between the director and the actor, the problem is not a big deal, after all, it is for the film's visuals.
It is very common for directors to ask actors to control their weight and develop a certain body shape.
There's nothing wrong with watching it between male directors and male actors.
But he and Jun Qiulan already had some ambiguity, so it would be very strange for him to make such a request.
He sighed: "Anyone who asks you to send private photos is a scumbag, including me. Be more careful in the future."
He was too embarrassed to talk about the photo Jun Qiulan took last time.
Maybe Jun Qiulan doesn’t take selfies often and is not very good at finding the right angle in the mirror.
She used the front-facing camera to take a selfie, her face wasn't visible, but her pointed chin was revealed.
The summer silk shirt was lifted up by him, as if biting on the corner of his mouth.
After seeing this scene, Yan Jing deleted it without any hesitation.
If this gets out, it will be a disaster.
It is common practice for male and female artists to show off their bodies.
This photo of Jun Qiulan looks weird.
He reminded her again: "Anyway, don't send such private photos to anyone in the future, even if they don't show your face."
Jun Qiulan uttered an "oh" in a trance.
I've requested leave.
Jun Qiulan ran away.
This topic is really not suitable to continue discussing.
Don't be too ambiguous.
Huh! Jun Qiulan walked out of the crew and exhaled a breath of foul air.
Liu Yue was already waiting for him in the car.
I bought the car anyway.
Yan Jing’s second-hand car.
Jun Qiulan was still hesitating at first, but Yan Jing directly asked Tang Te to drive the car over, wash it clean, and deliver it to him.
RV, Type B RV.
There is a small kitchen worktop, a bathroom, and a small bed for him to rest.
Jun Qiulan exclaimed in surprise at that time, as if he had never seen the world before.
To be honest, he had never come across an RV before, and he didn't expect that there were such cars in the world.
When he was still a prince, his car was also very luxurious, but compared to this RV, it was nothing more than a little brother.
Those inlaid gems, ivory, and silk are only good-looking but not practical.
This RV is good, this RV is wonderful.
It's simply a mobile home.
He fell in love with it at that time. After a few words of persuasion from Yan Jing, he earned 200,000 yuan for Yan Jing in a daze. Tang Te went directly to help him with the transfer, and then he asked Liu Yue to come and drive.
The car has been driven for two or three days.
Liu Yue originally practiced using her father's delivery van, and driving an RV was just what she wanted.
Moreover, this RV is much smarter than her father's van, and can be driven with just hands.
She also checked the selling price of the RV.
Until now, she has not dared to tell Jun Qiulan that the bare car price of this RV, not counting the modifications inside the car, is more than two million.
Although RVs depreciate quickly, you won’t be able to buy one for just $200,000.
Moreover, excluding the mileage driven from Shanghai, this RV had only been driven about 2,000 kilometers.
It's completely up to the standard of 95%.
As a result, she now doesn't know how to tell Jun Qiulan.
She could see that Director Yan Jing obviously had bad intentions towards their Lanlan.
This person's intentions are not pure, just take a sip.
Jun Qiulan actually knew that this car was not cheap. The aviation seat with massage function that he was sitting on was worth a lot of money.
He really doesn't know much about cars, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the value of them.
I was so happy at that time that before I knew it, the car was already in the name of his studio.
It would be awkward to ask Yan Jing to give him more money at this time.
Let's wait and find a suitable opportunity to give him a plum.
