"Si Cheng, why are you blushing? Ah? Why are you blushing!" Jiang Wen laughed in anger. Every detail of the previous shot was just right, but Si Cheng's blushing at the end was a bit inappropriate.
Could the hero Chun Yu Yuan be someone who would easily blush in front of prostitutes and boys in a brothel
Si Cheng felt aggrieved. This kind of physiological reaction was not something he could control just because he wanted to.
Jiang Wen took a sip of water to moisten his throat and buried his head in watching the replay.
The director stopped talking, and the orderly set gradually became chaotic. At first, people were talking in low voices, and then the voices became louder and louder.
"Oh My God… "
"That was so beautiful just now!"
"To be honest, I was almost stunned."
"Why didn't I realize Xu Qiao was so pretty before? I can't take it anymore."
Jiang Wen listened to the sounds around him, but didn't get angry. His mind was completely on the monitor.
The moment Xu Qiao raised his head, he felt as if he was watching a movie.
In the noisy and chaotic background, the pair of eyes like black glass balls looked over steadily, as if they had artificially separated two worlds.
On one side is the hustle and bustle of the mundane world, and on the other side is the beautiful and quiet world beyond the mundane world.
This is a face that was born for the big screen. How did it hide until now, and was discovered by a small web drama director like him
Jiang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and really wanted to burn incense to Li Chengxuan who introduced Xu Qiao here.
What a good guy this is. He sent a treasure to me. He is so nice.
Think about when Li Chengxuan called and said, "Director Jiang, I heard that you haven't found a suitable actor for the role of Jin'er? Let me introduce you to someone, Xu Qiao. He must be a perfect fit."
At that time, Jiang Wen thought that Li Chengxuan's words were strange, but now he thinks that this was a very foresighted move, and it was not very appropriate!
Coming back to his senses, Jiang Wen patted the script to signal for silence.
He looked at Sicheng: "Sicheng, adjust your mood and try again when you are ready."
Si Cheng's face was still red, and he nodded after hearing Jiang Wen's words. He took a deep breath and patted his face, trying to cool down the heat on his face.
After a while, he gestured to Jiang Wen to indicate that he was ready.
Everything is in place, the script supervisor hits the clapboard, and the characters start moving again.
Si Cheng didn't blush this time, but his eyes were evasive and he didn't dare to look Xu Qiao in the eye.
When Xu Qiao looked up at him, he was obviously panicked, and subconsciously, his honey-colored eyes turned away to avoid contact with Xu Qiao.
Jiang Wen stared at the monitor, his thick and messy eyebrows frowned together, and he was obviously in a bad mood.
Xu Qiao's brilliance is too bright. At this moment, he is Jin'er, the most popular waiter in Zuihuan Pavilion.
But Si Cheng couldn't keep up with his play.
Who would believe it if I told them that Si Cheng, who was a child star and had rich acting experience, was completely suppressed by Xu Qiao, who had no acting experience at all.
This is not to say that Xu Qiao's acting skills are explosive, but Si Cheng himself was timid and didn't find the state. Jiang Wen didn't know what was wrong with Si Cheng.
I shot this several times repeatedly, but the results were not ideal.
"Let's pause the filming and take a break." Jiang Wen took off his headphones. "Sicheng, think about your role again. You have to believe in your character, okay?"
Si Cheng said sorry and felt a little depressed.
He walked aside and sat on a stool, taking out the script on which he had taken notes many times.
Suddenly, a shadow fell on the script.
Si Cheng looked up and saw Xu Qiao standing in front of him.
Long black hair and thin red dress.
Si Cheng stood up quickly and said, "Brother Xu Qiao, I'm sorry, I, I delayed everyone's work."
As he spoke, he lowered his head unconsciously and was stunned when he saw Xu Qiao's fingertips were red from the cold.
It was a very cold day and he played Jin'er, wearing such thin clothes.
Si Cheng felt even more guilty, and hurriedly picked up his down jacket and handed it to Xu Qiao: "Brother Xu Qiao, put it on first."
Xu Qiao was stunned for a moment, then took the down jacket and put it on, then said thank you with a smile on his face.
Seeing Si Cheng still standing in front of him somewhat stiffly, Xu Qiao smiled and said, "Sit down."
Si Cheng nodded helplessly and sat back on the stool.
Xu Qiao half-knelt down, his eyes slightly lower than Si Cheng's. Seeing Si Cheng wanted to give the stool to him again, Xu Qiao shook his head.
"Look at me." Xu Qiao saw Si Cheng lowering his head and lowered his voice.
Si Cheng raised his head and looked at Xu Qiao, his fingers clenched around the script, trying to look away again.
Xu Qiao spoke softly, using the voice of Jin'er: "You are Chun Yuyuan, a young man dressed in fine clothes and riding a fierce horse, a chivalrous warrior who is feared by the martial arts world... You are the man I admire."
"There are so many men who like me, but you are the only one I like."
Si Cheng's ears twitched slightly, and his wandering gaze finally stopped firmly on Xu Qiao's face.
Those were a pair of eyes full of affection, clear and transparent, like a pool of water with a few fish swimming in it.
He lowered himself so low and looked up, as if he was willing to devote himself wholeheartedly.
Affectionate. Affectionate and humble.
Xu Qiao sighed and said, "I am humble, and I am someone you never put in front of your eyes. You don't even bother to feel disgust towards me, because I am so insignificant."
"Hmm?" Xu Qiao crossed his arms on his knees, tilted his head, and stared at Si Cheng.
Si Cheng's throat rolled twice, and he looked at Xu Qiao, his gaze finally firm.
He nodded: "Yeah!"
At this time, he was Chunyu Yuan.
Chun Yuyuan will not blush when he sees Jin'er, nor will he be flustered when he sees Jin'er, because Jin'er is just an insignificant speck of dust in his life.
The dust was just brushed away without causing any ripples.
In the following filming, Si Cheng seemed to have found his form all of a sudden, and his efficiency began to increase. After finishing this film, Jiang Wen shot a few more takes, and most of them were passed in one take.
By twelve o'clock in the morning, it was very late at night. The lighting and prop masters had been replaced, and everyone in the crew had unconcealable fatigue on their faces.
Jiang Wen was still in high spirits. He looked at his work schedule and found that today was going better than expected. He even managed to shoot a few more shots than planned.
He waved his hand generously: "Okay, that's all for today, everyone go back and have a rest!"
After hearing the director's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started to clean up the venue.
"Usually we have to work until two o'clock. It's rare to finish so early."
"I can sleep more when I get home."
"See you tomorrow."
Listening to the sounds of people around him finishing work, Xu Qiao yawned, changed out of his costume sleepily, wrapped himself in a warm down jacket, and squinted comfortably.
Li Feifei had been waiting by the side, stuffed a hot water bottle into his hand, unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup and handed it to him: "Brother, drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold. After you finish drinking, let's go back to the hotel and take a hot bath."
It was the coldest time of the year, and Xu Qiao was wrapped in just a few layers of thin gauze. They had been shooting for such a long time that Li Feifei felt very cold just watching them.
Xu Qiao took the thermos cup and stopped just as he brought it to his mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qiao stared at the warm ginger soup inside and said lazily, "Prepare more ginger soup tomorrow and share it with everyone."
Li Feifei was stunned, and looked Xu Qiao up and down, thinking that it was not easy for his brother to finally learn some worldly ways, and quickly responded: "Okay, I'll order a few barrels to be delivered tomorrow."
Xu Qiao nodded, said hello to everyone and walked out.
Many people looked at Xu Qiao's back, and their gazes were somewhat conflicted.
Xu Qiao, the rumored vase, had already been prepared countless times, and everyone was planning to work overtime.
As a result, he performed unexpectedly well, and made everyone else's work a lot easier.
Rumor has it that Xu Qiao has a bad temper, but seeing him wearing such thin clothes in such cold weather, shooting for the entire night without a single complaint and smiling at everyone, he is obviously a dedicated and polite actor.
Jiang Wen was in a good mood. He took out his cell phone, thought for a while, and turned to Li Chengxuan's chat dialog box.
The last message he sent was not long ago:
Director Li Chengxuan Jiang, Xu Qiao, you have also heard about it. In short, please bear with us.
What are you worried about? I thought Xu Qiao was so bad.
I had prepared myself mentally, telling myself that no one else could play the role of Jin'er, and that I had to go ahead and shoot the film no matter how bad Xu Qiao's performance was.
But now, things were completely different from what he had imagined. Xu Qiao's performance was beyond his expectations.
There is a pearl hidden in the oyster, and now I am the first person to take it out.
As for Li Chengxuan, he could vaguely understand what this person was thinking.
He and Xu Qiao are in the same group. No matter how much they appear to love each other on the surface, there is always competition and scramble for resources inside.
Whoever plays the role of Jin'er will inevitably be scolded, it is not an easy job. Li Chengxuan introduced Xu Qiao here, most likely with bad intentions.
However, this role would be criticized by everyone, but not necessarily Xu Qiao.
Today’s performance...
Jiang Wen calmed down and typed two words and sent them over: "Are you there?"
Li Chengxuan replied quickly.
Jiang Wen made a phone call.
Li Chengxuan seemed not surprised that Jiang Wen would come to him, and said in a relaxed tone: "Hello, Director Jiang."
"Chengxuan, I called you to talk about Xu Qiao—"
Before he finished speaking, Li Chengxuan responded, "Did Xu Qiao cause you trouble?"
Jiang Wen raised his eyebrows.
Li Chengxuan's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very sincere: "I'm so sorry Director Jiang, I was the one who introduced him, I apologize to you. Xu Qiao, it's not the first time that people have criticized him for not having the ability, please bear with me."
Jiang Wen's expression was ambiguous: "I called you to thank you."
"What?" Li Chengxuan was puzzled, and a bad feeling came over him.
"Thank you for introducing Xu Qiao. He is very much my type."
"Uh." Li Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, not sure if Jiang Wen was speaking sarcastically or something else, and laughed dryly, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Wen crossed his legs, with an expression that said "I'm here to annoy you" on his face: "He's really nice. I appreciate your introduction of him. Thank you."
Li Chengxuan: “… ?”
