This time, Gu Qingchi’s video became a hot topic, and Ye Li took this opportunity to promote his new movie.
If the movie is a success, Gu Qingchi will become famous and it will be easy for him to get the next role.
Gu Qingchi still has a long way to go as an actor.
Judging from Weibo alone, as an actor, Gu Qingchi currently has quite a lot of fans.
There are also many endorsement offers coming to him, which is an important part of a star's income. Currently, this part accounts for about 90% of Gu Qingchi's income.
This is totally unreasonable. He is an actor and the film pay should be the bulk of his income.
Generally speaking, an actor's fame and ability should match the endorsements he can get.
But Gu Qingchi's situation is very special. He can easily gain favor from the fashion industry. Various big brands have extended olive branches to him, and he has received many endorsements.
But he is still not considered a first-tier or even second-tier actor.
If he debuted as an idol, he might have already become a top star, receiving invitations all day long.
But he is an actor, and the standard for measuring an actor is his works. He only has one Ke Mu, and although he started on the big screen, it was a bit thin.
Movies can easily cost hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, so casting must be done with extreme caution.
Directors are not stupid, they like experienced actors.
Ye Li still often receives scripts for TV series, but since he has already appeared on the big screen, going back to acting in TV series would be the worst option.
As long as the resources of TV series are managed properly, anyone can get them. In fact, many traffic transformations start with TV series.
But it’s not the same with movies. There is too little to do and you can only wait patiently.
But Ye Li and Gu Qingchi are not in a hurry. They probably don’t care what happens to Gu Qingchi. As for Ye Li, what he wants is not Gu Qingchi’s short-lived popularity for two or three years. His ambitions are bigger.
Gu Qingchi only has one last scene before it’s completely over.
In his first two scenes, the character's emotions did not fluctuate much. He only had to show the numbness in life, and that kind of dull emotion was very familiar to Gu Qingchi.
During those two years, his body's self-protection mechanism kept him in this state almost all the time. Even now, he would fall into that state out of habit.
This is exactly the state that Slater wants. In addition to the numbness, the character also presents a feeling that is difficult to express, like facing a work of art that has gone through a long time and cannot be touched.
Even though he's fallen, he's terrible, he's bad to the core.
The next scene is where the soul of the entire character lies, when his emotions are most exposed and he is most vivid.
This is also why Slater went to great lengths to hire Colenso to take Gu Qingchi through life.
According to the movie timeline, this plot is in the middle part.
The heroine and the hero went to the nightclub to find Silva, but they returned empty-handed.
This is a scene where Slater requires Silva to laugh, but it makes it look like he’s about to cry.
This scene has been filmed several times.
"No, the emotions need to be more intense and the expressions more exaggerated."
Slater rolled up the script that was covered with words in his hand and kept tapping the chair.
The second time of the day has begun.
Colenso sat at a nearby table.
"I guess he's going to start losing his temper after the third time today."
Xiaoke, who was sitting on a small stool with her bag, nodded in agreement. She had become familiar with Colenso over the past few days.
"Cut, try again, stop filming!"
Slater dropped the script in frustration.
"Are you dead? Look, smile! You are enjoying yourself, you are indulging yourself."
He lost his temper and went out.
"Take a two-hour break and start again in two hours."
Gu Qingchi was sitting there. Several actors went to comfort him. Gu Qingchi stood up and thanked them one by one as he walked away. Xiaoke came over but he didn't stop. He just said hello to Xiaoke and left.
"Don't worry, I'm a little tired. I'll go lie down in my room for a while."
The room was upstairs. He quickly entered the room, closed the door, sat down against the door, and took a deep breath.
The fact that he had failed to live up to other people's expectations and wasted their time and energy made Gu Qingchi very uneasy.
He is suitable for living on his own. If he is alone, no matter how bad things are, the only person he needs to take responsibility for is himself, and it doesn't matter what he says.
Gu Qingchi sat for a while, and without knowing when, he unlocked his phone and opened WeChat.
Xie Luyu made Gu Qingchi feel at ease. Although Gu Qingchi did not notice it, he did not need to be too restrained in front of Xie Luyu and worry about causing trouble to others.
Even though he was very mean and unreasonable, and could be called venting his anger or feeling wronged, in Gu Qingchi's subconscious mind, Xie Luyu owed him something and he had already paid the price in advance, so he would not feel uneasy when asking for it.
He hesitated for a while, but still tentatively sent a message to Xie Luyu.
【Are you there? 】
Xie Luyu replied almost immediately.
[Yes, what's wrong? ]
Gu Qingchi wanted to say that he did not perform well in the acting and was scolded by the director. In front of many people, he also dragged down everyone in the crew, but with his hands on the mobile phone keyboard, he didn't know how to start, and finally just typed a few words.
【nothing. 】
As soon as the message was sent, Xie Luyu's phone popped up, and Gu Qingchi subconsciously pressed the answer button.
Xie Luyu seemed to be very noisy over there, but he quickly walked to a quiet place.
"What happened? Is the food bad or are your clothes gone?"
"Why did our little Gu suffer so much?"
Everyone came to see the parents.
Xie Luyu didn't say the second half of the sentence because he was afraid that Gu Qingchi would hang up on him again out of shyness.
There was no sound from Gu Qingchi, and Xie Luyu waited patiently.
It was several minutes before he spoke.
"My last scene, there was a problem."
Gu Qingchi briefly talked about Slater's evaluation of himself.
Xie Luyu analyzed the situation carefully and guided Gu Qingchi.
"...I can't completely control the expression on my face right away. It involves too many muscles. We'll practice slowly when you come back. Now, do you remember that video you made earlier?"
Gu Qingchi didn't pay attention to the domestic situation, and Ye Li felt there was no need to disturb him.
"What video?"
Xie Luyu knew it and simply passed it over.
"There was a video that a tourist accidentally took. You were in the square with a few foreigners. Remember? When you were smoking, you were smiling brightly. I think it fits that part. Try to find the emotions and feelings you had at that time."
Gu Qingchi suddenly understood. He had always been very good at sensing and empathizing with emotions, but he had always misunderstood the character's emotions.
He felt that Silva must be depressed and frustrated, so he kept impersonating Silva, and he was even affected without realizing it.
But in fact, he had always misunderstood this emotion. Silva should be happy, and very happy. He felt comfortable with the gangsters and relaxed in the nightclub. In his opinion, he was the first to abandon the world.
"Yes, I understand."
Xie Luyu laughed over there.
"Very good, go ahead, I'll hang up first."
Xie Luyu hung up the phone before opening the door and going out.
The director who was standing outside the door was startled.
"Why are you going to the prop room? Just come here to play a cameo role, you don't have to work for me. Even if you do, I will only pay you one cent."
"I'm just looking for a place to help my kids with their homework."
This director is an honest man.
"The tabloids outside said that you were secretly married. Is it true?"
"Why would I hide my marriage? If I had any news, I would have sent you an invitation first and asked you to give a gift."
Irene entered the nightclub and started searching around. She found her target almost immediately.
There is no other reason, Silva is just too dazzling. Even in this environment, he attracts the most attention.
Silva was sitting on the sofa, with two buttons of his white shirt undone and a smile on his face. A woman with bright makeup was leaning against him, and he was surrounded by his friends.
He was in the middle, a cigarette burning between his fingers, his handsome face a little blurred in the smoke.
When he saw Irene, he didn't even dodge, but whistled as a greeting.
He even smiled more brightly at Irene, as if to say, Come on, join in.
Irene went up to talk to him.
The music was so loud that she practically shouted as she pulled on Silva’s sleeve.
"Why don't you dance anymore!"
Silva raised his hand along with the crowd, the attention simply not on her.
After a while, he leaned close to her ear.
"I was just about to jump."
After saying that, he stood up and went up to the platform. The pole dancing girl on the platform also made way for him and the screams from below became noticeably louder.
The boy who originally danced Latin had a strong waist and graceful limbs. He used his more than ten years of dance skills to dance this kind of dance.
"Card."
This time Slater was finally satisfied.
In addition, Gu Qingchi has a few more scenes, which have been filmed long ago. It was in the heroine's memories. That part was simple. He danced a Latin dance with the heroine.
By now, all of Gu Qingchi’s scenes have ended.
Xiaoke had already started packing his luggage a few days ago.
When the game was over, Colenso walked up to Gu Qingchi.
"I'm a very good Latin dancer, better than the students in the academy. Slater promised to give me a part when the male and female protagonists compete in Blackpool. I'm their evenly matched opponent, the pair that came in second. You'll be able to see me in the movie then."
Gu Qingchi listened quietly.
"Your male lead's Latin is not that good, but that Irene is pretty good. She doesn't have a fixed dance partner either. We tried it and the teamwork was pretty good. Maybe we'll go to Blackpool together, and then we'll be more than just the second."
Finally, Colenso said a lot of things and finally took out his cell phone.
"Thanks to Toslet, I bought a new phone, the kind that can tap the screen directly. I have never used this before, but Irene told me that there is a small green app on it that is quite fun. I am playing it now, so how do I add friends with it?"
Colenso put it in Gu Qingchi's palm and clicked the vx icon.
