Visiting the set
The farce was resolved when Lan Yan arrived with security.
The fanatical fans were asked to leave, and Lan Yan unhappily talked to the hotel manager about security issues.
Jing Shengxi carefully said to Li Li: "She and I are just ordinary friends..."
After breaking up, having friends is actually not a big deal, Li Li thought.
Quickly straitening her expression, not wanting to let anyone see her emotions, Li Li looked straight at Jing Shengxi: "Sorry, I might have to go to the crew with my agent."
Seeing Jing Shengxi take a step forward, Li Li took a step back.
Now they don't have an intimate relationship that could involve each other, and keeping a distance should be the most polite part of interpersonal communication.
Now Li Lai's main task is filming. She has few scenes and many shots have been re-shot. She is just waiting for Liu Qiang to finish shooting a few scenes before starting to shoot the most important long-shot scene for the entire crew.
As long as the filming progress is not delayed and the actors can complete their tasks well, the crew can let them go.
So, Li Lai ran back to the program crew to participate in rehearsal that day.
To be on the safe side, Yu An chose a comedy script for rehearsal, and Lan Yan also used his connections to invite guest performers, all of whom were well-received actors in the circle.
Lan Yan also has her own little plans. She is afraid that Yu An will be eliminated.
Since there is still no progress in the communication with the brand, she has to make plans in two aspects.
Li Li is a self-signed artist. Putting her together with Yu An can, on the one hand, use the CP fan effect to build popularity for the two of them, and secondly, Li Li and Yu An already know each other, which can also ease Yu An's nervousness.
However, I heard Li Lai mention once that there is a good contestant named Bai Zhi who doesn’t have an agency yet. If possible, we can consider signing her.
Angelica dahurica?
Lan Yan really didn't think there was anything good about the girl. She didn't have a good appearance, didn't have a good figure, and had a poor sense of camera. She was out of place several times, which affected the viewing experience.
"Trust my instincts and sign her quickly before the price goes up."
Li Lai had a lozenge in his mouth. His throat felt a little uncomfortable from reciting lines every day these past two days.
"It's not impossible to dig up a stranger's background nowadays. I'll investigate her background first. How is Yu An doing now? I sent her a message, but she didn't reply."
"I think it's okay. What are you afraid of with me watching over you?" Li Li glanced at the time and saw that it was almost time for rehearsal. He did not continue to communicate with Lan Yan. He hung up the phone and returned to the rehearsal room, where he saw Yu An being lectured by Luo Zhong.
Luo Zhong is an acting teacher at Lan Yan Company. Several actors in the circle specially asked him to guide their acting skills before joining the crew. He is very capable, but notoriously strict. His thin lips are like eyebrow razors, and he can draw blood with just a few words. They began to fall into self-doubt.
In the past, before Li Lai could attend his acting class, she would have to struggle for a long time before mustering up the courage to step into the classroom.
I went in with my tail between my legs and sat with three other guest performers to watch Yu An's performance.
"The audience in the audience has offended you. You put on this kind of performance for them, and you can't even speak a coherent sentence. You shouldn't be an actor anymore."
"Teacher Luo, I'm sorry for taking the trouble to guide me again."
"It's not me who's working hard, it's these people who are acting with you."
Li Li quickly stood up after meeting Yu An's eyes. "Let's practice a few more times and give the audience the best performance."
The leading actor was Yu An, and all the roles were his. The jokes created according to the script were particularly awkward. Yu An laughed for no apparent reason, and after laughing, he spoke his lines as if he had a date in his mouth, and it was impossible to understand them.
His acting didn't seem like acting. He would blink and look at other actors' movements and reactions. He was so busy and chattering that he didn't even know what he was acting.
The guest performer came for Lan Yan's sake, and didn't say anything good or bad. After performing twice, he felt that Yu An was not in good condition, so he asked him to take a break and calm down.
"Go to the bathroom and wash your face. I'll find you later." Luo Zhong ordered with a dark face.
Noticing that Yu An was in a bad mood, Li Li followed him out of the rehearsal room and found Yu An, who had relieved his anger, in the hotel's emergency exit.
"It's okay. Teacher Luo Zhong is just a tough guy. I've been scolded by him before," Li Li handed Yu An an iced cola. "I saw that your performance was pretty good before. Maybe you're not used to the fast-paced performance style now."
Li Li found many reasons for Yu An to give. After performing a script many times, he would naturally feel bored.
"Don't make excuses for me. I know I have a talent for acting." Yu An repeatedly pressed the button on the Coke bottle. He was very anxious now.
In the past, we had plenty of rehearsal time and were very relaxed. We would basically rehearse once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and complete the day's tasks while drinking coffee and listening to soothing music.
Yu An didn't feel much pressure in the first few episodes because he knew that there were people in the same group who had worse acting skills than him.
"I'm aware of my own abilities. I'm not as good as the best, but better than the worst. Previously, the show eliminated one person per group, and I thought I could get through it without any problems. Until the announcement of the program revamp, which started with eliminating one group per episode, I was really scared. I wasn't afraid of being eliminated myself, but I was really scared that I would drag you down with me and that my abilities would be questioned by the outside world."
Yu An’s anxieties don’t stop there.
Li Li, who participated in the program with him, started from a lower point than him and had also experienced a low period. She participated in the program as a team manager, and as soon as she came back, a film crew asked her to film.
Even the three guest performers were generous in praising her.
Obviously, she was not as good as herself at the beginning.
"Take your time. Acting is a delicate job. Don't rush."
"Were you anxious at the beginning? I mean when you were scolded by Teacher Luo Zhong."
Looking back, I would wipe away my tears every day as I went to and from acting class, bending my legs, bending over, practicing my body movements, and performing various scripts over and over again. I couldn’t see whether the road ahead would be bright or dark, so I could only lower my head and hurry along the path in front of me.
"I'm so anxious, and I hate myself for not being so smart."
Some people try a hundred times, but are not as good as a spiritual person who performs once.
Li Li offered words of encouragement to Yu An: "Escape won't solve the problem. Since you've chosen to participate in this program, you should give an answer that you won't regret."
"I really don't have the courage right now. I can't even say the most basic lines properly."
"Why don't you recite your lines while walking?" Fearing the other party wouldn't believe her, Li Li gave a personal example: "You know me. I used to be criticized for my unstable breathing and my inability to properly emphasize sentences. Later, I went to learn from an acting teacher, and she gave me a tip: memorize your lines while running."
Li Lai's acting career has not been smooth sailing. She may stand out among artists of the same period and level, but if she is placed in the entire entertainment industry, she can only be the most ordinary one.
In order to avoid being eliminated by the market and not being a flash-in-the-pan artist, Li Li must improve himself.
During breaks, Li Lai put on his running shoes, memorized his lines while running, learned how to breathe, and improved his abilities little by little on his own.
There was no rehearsal in the afternoon, so Luo Zhong gave Yu An one-on-one teaching.
In the evening, the two of them had a hotel buffet together. Yu An was still not in good condition, so Li Lai suggested that they go for a walk in the hotel courtyard after dinner.
"Practice your lines." Yu An saw what Li Li was thinking.
"I heard there are a few calico cats in the backyard. Come with me to see them."
Seeing that the afternoon teaching was not going smoothly, Li Li did not dare to ask him to practice the lines. Thinking that he liked cats, she let him play with the cats.
The calico cat in the backyard gave birth to a litter of kittens, which were just one month old and very noisy. The hotel did not lock them up intentionally, but just marked out a small area in the backyard for the kittens to play.
Yu An held the kitten in his arms and admired it for a long time, while Li Li was beside him, helping him take pictures, feed the cat, and edit the photos.
"When I was little, my parents were busy at work, so my favorite place to go was the pet hospital downstairs. I would look at sick pets every day and wonder if my parents would come back to see me if I got sick too."
Thinking of this, Yu An chuckled: "Divorce if you want, why are you saying you're busy at work? Do you really think I don't understand?"
Yu An was in a bad mood and talked a lot to Li Li. When it was night, the mother cat took her children home one by one, and it was time for the two of them to leave.
The two walked and chatted along the way they came.
"Li Li, who picked you up from school when you were a kid?"
"My grandpa."
"ah?"
"We in the north call our maternal grandfather 'Grandpa.' My mother works and my sister goes to school in another city, so Grandpa picks me up and brings me home. When we get home, my grandma has already prepared dinner."
After walking up a flight of stairs and through the corridor to enter the hotel, I saw someone standing at the door.
It was dark and the light was against them, so they couldn't see who it was. The two of them thought it was the hotel staff and continued talking. When they walked in, they found that it was the silent Jing Shengxi.
"Jing Shengxi, what are you doing here tonight?" Yu An glanced at Jing Shengxi, then subconsciously glanced at Li Li next to him.
"I'm here to visit you on set." Jing Shengxi nodded slightly at Yu An as a greeting.
Seeing that Jing Shengxi was followed by staff carrying cameras, they should be the program crew shooting materials. Li Li gently pulled the corner of Yu An's clothes twice, and then the two of them tacitly retreated to the side.
A group of people passed by them, and the camera even deliberately filmed them. The two did not take it seriously, thinking that it would be edited out, but they did not know that this was a surprise live broadcast by the program crew.
At this time, the number of people in the live broadcast room increased rapidly, and the messages on the public screen could not be seen at all. Fans in the live broadcast room shouted that this was a real unscripted arrangement.
The director of the program team's face was frozen with laughter. The original purpose of the public live broadcast was to stimulate traffic and prevent the traffic from declining after the program was revised.
Capture the real private lives of artists and contestants, and tell the outside world that this show is all about authenticity.
I never expected that these surprises would come one after another.
First, the camera captured Jing Shengxi coming to the hotel late at night and inviting him to participate in the live broadcast, and then Yu An and Li Lai were seen taking a walk together.
The assistant director did not forget to perform his duties during the live broadcast and answered questions from netizens in the live broadcast room one by one.
"Yes, they were taking a walk. Who were they? Of course, it was Li Lai and Yu An whom you saw."
"They have a good relationship in the production team. Li Lai will be in the same group with Yu An. Friends who care about them should support them."
"Who is Jing Shengxi visiting?" The staff read out the most frequently asked questions on the public screen.
Turning to look at Jing Shengxi, he didn't dare to laugh anymore.
Jing Shengxi, who was standing next to him, didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about the live broadcast. He had a cold face and didn't say a word. His brows were furrowed, and no one knew what he was angry about.
He had a very good impression of Jing Shengxi, who cooperated very well with the program crew, did not promote himself too much, and did not act like a big shot. Now he suddenly became upset. Could it be because he did not publicly recommend his new drama?
"Hu Xuechun, come to our live studio too and take a look at your leading man." The staff member pointed the camera at Jing Shengxi and said, "Jing Shengxi, what do you want to say to Hu Xuechun?"
"I'm here to visit the set." Jing Shengxi said.
