Inspection standards
[Everyone, everyone, why do I feel like Jing Shengxi is a little angry?]
[I feel the same way. He used to cooperate with the program team in promotions and even interacted during live broadcasts. Why does he seem unhappy this time?]
[Maybe I was interrupted. Originally, the set visit was supposed to be private, but with the production team's publicity, I couldn't do it anymore. I can only cooperate with the production team's publicity.]
[Who do you want to visit on set? Who here is familiar with Jing Shengxi?]
[The ones I'm more familiar with are Li Li and Yu An. The three of them have worked together before, but if you go to see them, they'll probably just greet each other from the beginning, using their influence to attract traffic.]
[It shouldn't be Li Lai and Yu An, and the three of them were obviously surprised to meet each other, and there was no communication afterwards.]
[You guys can argue and quarrel all you want, but who understands seeing Li Li and Yu An holding hands during a live broadcast?]
[The production team also mentioned that the two of them had a lot of communication on the show. Ahhh, it's time to soak up the old conversation.]
[And in the latest adaptation, the two will be working together. I can play Leopard Cat.]
When the news about Li Li and Yu An's collaboration came out, the media and the outside world paid close attention to it. Although it was forbidden to arrange interviews, many people called Yu An to inquire about the rehearsal progress.
Yu An was very cautious and did not give a definite answer.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't take it seriously, but just said that he was looking forward to Yu An's performance.
However——
With two days left before the performance, Yu An entrusted the program team to release the information.
"Due to a leg injury, Mr. Yu An has decided to withdraw from the 'Life Star' program after careful consultation with the program team. Yu An deeply apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause."
Because Yu An withdrew, their group was eliminated and Li Lai's contract with the program team expired.
Yu An still became a loser.
Lan Yan smiled and took the valuable gifts to apologize to the program crew and guest performers one by one.
No one said anything on the surface, and some even said with regret that Yu An was a very talented and good kid, and asked him to rest and recover, as there would be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. But everyone knew in their hearts that Yu An had deserted at the last minute, and it would be difficult for him to have future opportunities in the entertainment industry.
No, he can rest with his sister Lan Yan around.
After leaving the "Life Star" program team, Li Li now only has work to do with the crew and troupe.
Artists cannot be idle, otherwise something bad will happen.
Lan Yan contacted and informed her everywhere, and Li Li was also auditioning for roles in other crews.
Her identity is neither awkward nor embarrassing now. The program crew will consider her popularity when choosing suitable roles, and she is also considering unsuitable roles.
Lan Yan suggested that she take advantage of this period to do live broadcasts and appear on variety shows to increase her popularity.
After all, this is an era where traffic is king. Although the public and audiences are very resistant to traffic stars, it has to be admitted that scrolling screens and marketing can indeed attract the attention of passers-by.
The attention of passers-by will bring clicks to search engines, clicks will drive big data, and big data will bring traffic to a person.
A few years ago, I would definitely agree with Lan Yan's approach and would actively participate in various variety shows. However, after experiencing the "beating in the street" incident, I calmed down for a few years and looked at the problem as a bystander.
Li Li has come to understand that being an actor is just a job.
Whether you are unknown or famous, this is your job. Whether you do it well or not, only those who come into contact with you know your true ability.
The entire crew has basically finished filming their scenes, but there is a group of people whose nerves have been tense and they have not relaxed, and they have been preparing for the last big scene.
Taking into account the character's daily routine in the detention center, Liu Qiang deliberately adjusted his diet and daily routine. He also had no scruples about the food he ate, and now accepted anything high in oil, calories, and fat.
In his words, "Finally, it's someone else's turn to live a hard life with only coarse food."
Whose turn is it?
It was Li Li's turn.
The scenes he played included traveling thousands of miles in pursuit of the truth, visiting the families of the victims one by one, and reviewing a large number of files within a limited time.
To show Li in several scenes of film and television dramas, it is necessary for Li Lai to play for real in private.
I sit outdoors without applying sunscreen, drink water when I'm thirsty, drink water when I'm hungry, and drink coffee when I'm sleepy. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep at night, so I specially start a video chat with my boyfriend.
Li Lai hadn't had a good rest for three days, and Lan Yan hadn't had a good rest for three days either, which caused her to break down in the video: "Are you filming or am I filming?"
"Of course I'm filming. I only have three days to prepare, but the crew has been busy for two months without a break. What else can I do but persevere."
"You better be careful. Your body isn't as strong as it used to be. Don't let anything really happen to you."
Li Li also knew this, so she had to wait four hours after the filming officially started before she could have a full meal and a good sleep.
The stagehands were setting up the venue. Li Li stood in a corner in her costume, quickly reviewing her lines, and didn't notice anyone approaching from behind.
Director Ding has been looking for Li Li for a long time.
These past two days he heard from others that Li Li was drinking coffee, basking in the sun, and talking on the phone with her agent all night long.
Today they were shooting a long court trial scene, but Director Ding couldn't find her. He was a little angry and looked around the set twice before he saw someone standing in the corner wearing a blue shirt and black pants with his back to him. The person looked a bit like Li Li from behind.
As I walked up to her and listened to her mumbling the lines quickly, I snorted in my heart, even if you are very talented and can memorize the lines in just a few minutes, I have to say a few words to her because of your improper attitude towards filming.
I was so angry that I walked up to her and said, "Li Li."
When she turned around, to be honest, he was a little surprised. Her face was tired and haggard, which instantly matched the image of the female prosecutor in his script who had fought for two months for this trial.
There is no way to create the appearance of fatigue with makeup. Her cheeks are obviously sunken, and the red bloodshot eyes make her look at people with a sense of fighting spirit.
"What are your plans?" Director Ding asked.
"Waiting for inspection." This is Li Li's answer.
"Okay, we still have ten minutes to prepare."
The trial scene has been set up, and a group of people in the team have been dressed up as audience members participating in the public trial, and staff from various units are ready.
The studio was quiet, with only the mechanical sounds of the machines running, and no one knew how long this set of shots would take.
A set of long shots tests not only the acting skills of the actors, but also the director's narrative and acting abilities, and the coordination abilities of various units on the set.
The director also made a military stand. There were several people in the studio today. Just standing there gave off a different aura.
When they appeared, the director who was originally sitting immediately stood up to greet them and shake hands.
"Who are Sister Li Li and the others? Why is Brother Jing, who has already finished filming, here too?" asked the new actor who also played the prosecutor.
Li Li looked towards that place and saw those people standing together. Jing Shengxi seemed to be introducing Director Ding.
This is how it is in the circle, both resources and connections need to be expanded.
Jing Shengxi has been able to get to where he is today by relying on a little bit of connections to expand his resources.
"I don't know, maybe he's a friend of the director."
When the filming officially started, the actors performed according to the previous rehearsals. The results were not bad, but they did not meet the expectations.
"It lacks a sense of conflict and confrontation," Director Ding said to Liu Qiang and Li Li. "It lacks dramatic tension."
"The script says that when I saw the names of the victims listed during the prosecutor's cross-examination, I felt condemned and chose to plead guilty." Liu Qiang touched his chin. "Otherwise, I would have refused to plead guilty. It was only after the witnesses testified and the physical evidence was complete that I was found guilty."
Director Ding said okay, and performed it again according to Teacher Liu Qiang's suggestion. The effect was better than before, but still a little lacking.
Director Ding felt a bit of a headache and turned around to ask Jing Shengxi and the others, "I've encountered a problem during filming. You are all experienced people. Could you give me some advice?"
These people are also very smart. Why would they say anything about other people's filming works? What's more, if they give their opinions, what if the filming results are not good? Not only will the cooperation fail, but they will also get into trouble.
Seeing that no one said anything, the situation was a bit awkward. Li Li's tendency to embarrass others came back, and she took the initiative to suggest: "How about adding a contempt of court scene?"
Director Ding gestured for Li Li to continue.
Li Li: "When I present evidence, he just admits it, and when I interrogate him, he denies everything he said. Finally..."
Li Li was a little worried about how to deal with the final scene. To increase the dramatic tension, there would need to be a special reversal, but she couldn't think of one yet.
Liu Qiang continued, "He killed so many people. He should have known he would receive a heavy sentence. He must have been cunning and exploited some loopholes."
Li Li nodded in agreement: "My mission is to plug the loopholes and make a judgment based on absolute evidence."
The two of them hit it off immediately and quickly exchanged words, leaving Director Ding to look at the others with a bit of pride: "Hey, we actors are just having a little fun, please don't laugh at us."
This performance was more tense than the previous ones, showing the tug-of-war between the pros and cons.
When confronted with the accusations, Liu Qiang denied them one after another and began playing word games, bit by bit reversing his previous confession, trying to defend his intentional homicide charge to manslaughter. This resulted in him having to stop every time he filmed a segment to rehearse his lines.
This went on and on until noon. Director Ding arranged for everyone to take a break while he went to the nanny car to have a secret conversation with those people.
Li Lai hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of food, then took a pen and paper and began to rehearse the lines with Liu Qiang, narrating the story logic, and making sure that there would be absolutely no revelations in their group's scenes.
After several people in the car finished discussing the subsequent advertising placement, they heard a quarrel coming from the set. It sounded like Li Li and Liu Qiang. Before they could move, Jing Shengxi, who was on the outermost side, suddenly stood up and opened the car window to check.
Li Lai was seen arguing with Liu Qiang with a pen and paper: "Your words are totally illogical. This is a realistic script. Everything must be based on reality."
Liu Qiang: "I won't argue with you. I'll perform it your way, then mine, and then see the results."
Seeing the two arguing over the performance, the people in the car laughed: "I knew that Teacher Liu Qiang was a drama fanatic, but I didn't expect that this Li Li was even more exaggerated than him."
"Li Li, she is very good." Director Ding said.
