A few days later, Gu Qingchi's role appeared.
This is Wang Haisheng's habit. Whenever there are newcomers in the crew, he always lets them go up to work for a while to get some experience in the role.
The early shots taken by newcomers are usually not usable, so he just took a start and learned in the group. There is also an award-winning actor in the crew this time, so it would be a waste not to use his talent.
By the later stage, when they have basically honed all aspects, they will be allowed to practice their skills a few times. By then, the resulting films will be quite presentable.
Directors generally like to use mature actors, preferably someone like Xie Luyu, who doesn't have to worry about anything and may even win an award or something.
Wang Haisheng is no exception. Hiring new people is a huge challenge to his patience.
He has a bad temper, and training a new person for a day is like challenging his limits, which is a torture for both parties.
But it is no exaggeration to say that newcomers are reborn after working under him.
All your minor problems like being stiff in front of the camera and being easily nervous are cured.
Gu Qingchi is not only a newcomer but also not a professional actor. However, Wang Haisheng attaches great importance to the role of Ke Mu. He is determined to hone Gu Qingchi's acting skills.
It doesn’t matter if you feel unnatural in front of the camera, just do a few more shots and you’ll get used to it. It doesn’t matter if your acting is not good, just do it a few more times and break down all the details and make them clear.
It’s okay to be nervous in front of your seniors. Just put Xie Luyu as a big Buddha in front of you. You will stop being nervous after a while and will not feel afraid when you meet anyone in the future.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't produce a Ke Mu who was above the passing line.
So Gu Qingchi’s first scene is against Xie Luyu.
There are several machines placed nearby, looking very impressive, but actually they are not turned on. When the time comes, only one or two will be turned on symbolically.
The scary little Gu Qingchi was so nervous that he came to cheer him up.
In order to distract Gu Qingchi, she chatted with him for a long time.
The film intersperses various stories about the actors' rookie days, hinting to Gu Qingchi that, look, we all started out as rookies, and everyone has a dark history.
It was hard to tell whether Gu Qingchi was nervous or not. He just sat there with the script spread out on his lap.
Just like usual, she didn't talk much and was quiet, but she wouldn't ignore anyone either. When she spoke, Gu Qingchi would just say "um" and "ah", etc.
Finally, Xiaoke took a sip of water, put a piece of Jinsuo in his mouth, and risked having his bonus deducted by Ye Li to give Gu Qingchi a final encouragement.
"Brother Gu, after you finish your performance, I will go buy you milk tea without telling Brother Ye."
Gu Qingchi then raised his eyes, hummed, and became more and more demanding, speaking slowly.
"I want a large one, with coconut."
Xiao Ke, who had been working hard for most of the day but didn’t seem to have the presence of a cup of milk tea: “…Oh.”
After Xiao Ke stopped talking, Gu Qingchi began to flip through the script, calmly and unhurriedly, as if he was just reading a book to kill time during his free afternoon break.
Next to him should be a carefully tended garden, and in front of him is a wooden table and chairs with a pot of black tea.
Xiaoke finally realized that the person she was here to comfort didn't seem to be that nervous?
I don’t know whether Gu Qingchi was nervous or not, but Xie Luyu was nervous.
But everyone thought he was not nervous.
When Xie Luyu was still a newcomer, he was extremely arrogant. Not long after that, he rose to a powerful position, and it seemed natural for him to be so arrogant.
Not to mention anything else, just winning the Best Actor award at the age of 27 was enough to make him so arrogant.
Xie Luyu is worthy of the name.
Others may not know, but everyone in his team knows that although Xie Luyu has been on the hot search list every few days, he has never bought any traffic and it is all real traffic.
But he is not an idol or a traffic star, but an actor who focuses on acting, which is enough to show how terrifying he is.
Especially now, he is still known as the youngest film emperor in China.
The word "nervous" doesn't apply to him.
Xie Luyu has never been nervous about international blockbusters, and Xie Luyu has never been nervous about productions worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Xie Luyu was nervous when he watched the commercial movie that he just picked up to kill time.
Xie Luyu has a separate dressing room and rest room. The makeup artist is now putting makeup on him.
Xie Luyu fixed his head, stretched out his arms and read the script through the gap, turning the script over and over.
The assistant didn't understand.
"Brother Xie, don't you always memorize the script before filming? Why are you always reading the script this time?"
"Please correct your attitude, thank you."
Xie Luyu's eyes haven't moved away from the script.
"As an actor's assistant, you actually complained that your actor read too many scripts. Okay, stop talking. I'll deduct 2.5 yuan from your bonus and I won't do it again."
In fact, it’s no wonder that others can’t see that Xie Luyu is nervous. His nervousness is so different from others and it never affects his performance.
The assistant was used to it.
"No, Xie Ge, I just want to say that it's time to start."
Xie Luyu's hand trembled, and the script fell to the ground with a thud.
The first scene was filmed in the early stage of Ke Chengqi. At that time, he was just a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old who had just grown up.
The more willful Ke Chengqi was in the early days, the more painful he became later.
At the time of this scene, Ke Chengqi was still acting willful, and not only willful but also naughty.
Ke Chengqi was detained at home because he was too naughty.
Ke Mu received the order and guarded Kecheng seven inches away.
Even as a teenager, Ke Mu's martial arts skills were already outstanding, and he was more than capable of keeping an eye on Ke Chengqi, who had abandoned martial arts.
But Ke Mu was always docile in front of Ke Chengqi. He would never refuse Ke Chengqi, but he could not disobey his wife's orders.
So Ke Chengqi took a step back and took Ke Mu to Zuichunlou for fun for the first time.
Ke Mu seldom left his house. Ke Chengqi's friends had never seen Ke Mu. They were attracted by his outstanding appearance and started to talk to him.
When Ke Mu looked at the people who were indulging in sensual pleasures and drowning in the noise with ignorant eyes, he even made the noisy occasion become more restrained for him.
Ke Chengqi finally got the chance to come out, but was overshadowed by Ke Mu, which made him very angry.
When others asked him who Ke Mu was, he bluntly said that Ke Mu was his servant, and mocked him unceremoniously that Ke Mu was as his name suggested, very wooden and a fool.
Although it is true to say so, Ke Mu was raised by Ke Chengqi's mother, and he is treated as a half-master in the mansion.
If others spoke a few more words to Ke Mu, Ke Mu's abnormality would be noticed, but Ke Chengqi is a member of the Ke family, and others would also consider themselves for Ke Chengqi's sake.
His attitude made people look down on Ke Mu.
Finally, when Ke Chengqi wasn't paying attention, some bastard was so bold as to target Ke Mu.
Ke Mu is mentally retarded, but he is never easy to mess with. He is only docile in front of Ke Chengqi.
He is just an untamed wild beast. He doesn't care about many things. No one has ever taught him what to do. If someone provokes him, he will instinctively open his mouth and bite hard.
So when the second son of the Duke's family provoked him, Ke Mu grabbed his head and slammed it hard on the table.
Others complained to Ke Chengqi, deliberately distorting the facts and saying that Ke Mu suddenly hurt people.
Ke Chengqi didn't even listen to the end. He just picked up the jar of wine and went over and gave the second son of the Duke's family another jar of wine. This time he smashed his head directly.
After smashing it, he took Ke Mu back home.
When he got home, the news had already been passed back. Ke's father was furious. Ke Chengqi didn't even enter his room but went straight into the ancestral hall. He was first whipped thirty times and then forced to kneel.
He had just knelt for a while when Ke Mu came in quietly from outside.
Ke Chengqi was used to being punished. At that time, he took the responsibility alone to protect Ke Mu, but now he started to feel uncomfortable again.
The young man was very conflicted. He was the one who saved Ke Mu, and now he was also angry at his parents' favoritism. However, Ke Chengqi's anger did not last long.
Ke Mu knelt down beside him, and Ke Chengqi realized that Ke Mu was dressed in black, and the back of his clothes was soaked in blood.
From then on, Ke's father established a rule that no matter what trouble Ke Chengqi got into or what punishment he received, Ke Mu would be held responsible as well.
From that time on, Ke Chengqi completely took Ke Mu as his own responsibility, and would carry it on his shoulders for the rest of his life.
Today we filmed the scene in the ancestral hall, which was full of emotion and required a lot from the actors.
This is also what Wang Haisheng meant. Start with the most difficult one, and then you will find each session easier than the next.
The ancestral hall is connected to a long corridor. Both the hall and the corridor are very dark, with almost no sunlight coming in.
In front of the ancestral hall was a pile of densely packed black tablets. There was no incense burner on the altar, but instead there was a broken spear, the body of which was covered in bloodstains that had oxidized and turned black.
There was no cushion in front of the altar, just a cold and hard floor.
Although Xie Luyu was nervous, he got into the game as soon as he came on the court.
Xie Luyu was wearing a young man's bright red dress. After several ordeals, the dress was a little disheveled, and his back was whipped and oozing with blood.
He is no longer the age of Ke Chengqi. Although he looks like an adult at the age of eighteen or nineteen, his every move shows the youthful vigor.
Although the makeup artist softened his overly distinct features, when Xie Luyu stood there, he was a charming adult.
But once the camera turned on and the board was played, he suddenly became a different person.
Now he was kneeling there, with annoyance between his brows, and the image of a lively young man emerged, without any sense of incongruity.
At this moment, he is Ke Chengqi.
There were footsteps coming down the corridor, and then they stopped.
Ke Chengqi looked up.
Ke Mu stood at the entrance of the corridor.
He should have spoken his lines now, but Xie Luyu paused, so quickly that almost no one noticed.
But Xie Luyu knew that his expression was wrong just now and he couldn't control it, so he gestured to pause.
"Oh my, I'm sorry, do it again."
Everyone retreated and prepared to try again.
Xie Luyu put his hands on the floor and closed his eyes. Just now, Gu Qingchi was standing at the entrance of the corridor, with light and shadow interweaving on his body.
It was that look again, Gu Qingchi still looked at me in the same way, with nothing in his eyes.
Xie Luyu was in a trance for a moment.
It was as if I was back in the locker room that afternoon, when Gu Qingchi looked at me through the smoke, and also that time in the company, when they looked at each other across the crowd.
All that was reflected in Xie Luyu's eyes was Gu Qingchi, but Gu Qingchi's gaze was like a flying bird, gently passing through the sky, leaving nothing behind.
