"Brother Li!" Ji Li walked quickly to Qin Li's side, with an unstoppable smile of surprise in his eyes, "...I didn't expect to see you here again."
Unlike the deliberately blackened beggar makeup in the movie, the young man's ancient costume looks very eye-catching at this moment.
Qin Li was infected by his smile, and the arc of his lips raised unconsciously, "Well, long time no see."
Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing looked at each other, and asked suspiciously, "You two know each other?"
"Ji Li played my character's younger brother in "Bang Guo", and we have collaborated in several scenes together." Qin Li paused for a while, and added, "Director Zheng likes him very much."
Speaking of this, Yao Chuan immediately realized, "Is he the rookie actor that Lao Zheng praised so much in the circle of friends?"
The connections in the director circle are all interconnected, and Yao Chuan and Zheng Anxing also know each other in private.
Qin Li nodded in affirmation.
Ji Li heard about this for the first time, and his eyes lightened slightly, "Brother Li, Director Zheng praised me in Moments? When did it happen?"
"On the day you finished the filming, Lao Zheng seldom posted on Moments, and he praised you eloquently that day." Qi An answered the conversation from the side, and he recruited the staff to take an extra chair.
After watching the scene just now, Fang Zhixing equated him and Xie Yan in his heart, "Your name is Ji Li?"
"Yes." Ji Li introduced himself politely, "Hi Director Yao, Teacher Fang, my name is Ji Li."
"Sit down, you handled the scene just now very well." Yao Chuan said.
"Thank you, director." Ji Li calmly sat beside Qin Li, and glanced at the monitor, "Just now my hat gauze seemed to be blown up by the wind, won't it wear out? Do you need me to make another one?"
"No need, I've already seen it." Yao Chuan has directed plays for so many years and knows what the audience wants to see.
In the close-up shot, there is only a side face passing by, which is not too obvious, but the vague beauty exuded by the youth is poking people's hearts.
"Ji Li, I remember that you belong to Dream Media." Qi An took advantage of the gap and asked the doubts in his heart, "Why did you come here as a substitute? The company's agent forced you to come?"
Let a potential and talented rookie actor come in as a stand-in? This company is so unreliable.
Qin Li looked at the young man, and he also cared about this in his heart.
Afraid that they might misunderstand, Ji Li explained, "I have chosen a movie role, but the production team is not ready yet, and there is about two months of vacancy."
"I heard that the production team of "Da Zong Juvenile Scheme" is very good, so I seized this opportunity of 'stand-in' to follow the group. I want to learn more, and I want to get to know some contacts by the way."
Ji Li's answer was very sincere and true.
Which newcomer doesn't want to get in touch with the crew of a big production? Don't want to grab every legitimate opportunity to climb the ladder
Yao Chuan let out a deep laugh, apparently he had a good impression of Ji Li.
Qin Li pursed his lips and asked for the first time, "When I was in the film crew before, why didn't I see that you asked for my WeChat and Director Zheng's WeChat? Don't we still have good connections?"
"How come?" Ji Li retorted, smiling embarrassedly, "Our time together is too short, I'm afraid you won't give it. So I only added the WeChat of a few staff members, and I follow the news of the crew through them every day .”
A rookie who has just debuted wants to add the actor's WeChat, isn't this wishful thinking
Ji Li is still very self-aware.
However, since the other party has taken the initiative to mention it now, can he try to ask
"Brother Li, can I add you on WeChat? If there is any suitable role audition in the future, you can push it for me?" Ji Li stared at Qin Li anxiously, and added, "I'm a newcomer who just debuted. It's very cheap."
When the people around heard this, they chuckled in unison.
The young man approached slightly, his exquisite facial features were too eye-catching, his eyes looked sincerely, as if even the trembling eyelashes were appealing.
Qin Yue's eyes were getting darker, and he was almost caught in the attraction of the close distance, so he had to straighten his body, "Of course."
Qi An noticed his friend's abnormality, and raised his eyebrows subtly.
As for Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing, they just watched the fun from the sidelines. They all understand that a newcomer who can get the unanimous approval of Qin Li and Zheng Anxing must have something special.
It's a pity that Xie Yan's candidate has already been decided on He Ling, otherwise they would definitely bring Ji Li to the crew.
The staff who were secretly poking around were already stunned—
Ji Li and Brother Li have worked together? And in front of them, he took down Brother Li's private WeChat
Someone sighed in a low voice, "Ji Li is actually a new signing of Dream Media? No wonder she looks so good-looking."
"What's the use of being good-looking? If you want to work in this industry, you still need to have capital." Someone said quietly, "Look at the same company, He Ling can be the villain, and Ji Li He is only worthy of being a substitute who cannot show his face."
"What's wrong with the double? In the same scene, Ji Li's lethality is a hundred times stronger than that of He Ling." The stylist who followed the shooting scene interjected, "Just wait and see, with Ji Li's face, Red is a matter of time."
While everyone was discussing, the field manager ran to Yao Chuan's side to ask for instructions, "Director Yao, there is something wrong with the filming of Group B. It is conservatively estimated that it will take two hours to get back to the scene."
Due to the need for scenes, today's filming is divided into two groups. Group A is the scene where Xu Miaomiao and He Ling meet for the first time, and group B is the daily scenes of the male protagonist and others.
Yao Chuan frowned again when he heard this, "This is taking too long than expected."
"Look, do you want to move tomorrow's martial arts scene first?" The stage manager suggested, then looked at Ji Li and said, "He Ling said from the beginning that all his martial arts scenes will be done by a stand-in."
Ji Li heard this conversation and took the initiative to express his opinion, "Director Yao, I'm fine, I can cooperate with filming needs at any time."
Anyway, he has already put on the headgear and put on the costume, so if he can do one more filming, he will naturally do one more filming.
Yao Chuan pondered for a while, "Where are the martial arts instructors and group performers here?"
The field manager replied, "It's all here, Wu Zhi said, there is still time to teach martial arts moves on the spot."
"Okay, hurry up and take Ji Li to prepare." Yao Chuan looked at the time and added, "Tell Group B not to come over after filming, and catch up with the rest tomorrow."
Field affairs should be down.
Ji Li hurriedly got up, spoke politely to everyone, and followed closely.
Qin Li waited for him to leave before asking with a straight face, "Which actor is Ji Li substituting for? What about the actor himself?"
Originally, the affairs of the production team had nothing to do with him, but thinking that the young man could only be wronged to be a stand-in, he felt faintly uncomfortable.
Fang Zhixing saw that he was concerned, so he told him about the matter, "He is also an artist of Dream Media, named He Ling. According to Xingyuan, he took the initiative to find him..."
Compared with the average rookies, He Ling is more popular and good-looking. Most importantly, he brought 30 million into the group out of his own pocket.
Their drama has a lot of martial arts elements, and the content of the imperial court is not a hot palace fight. Over the years, similar themes have been filmed one by one. The novel market and the film and television market are still limited. No matter how powerful the original novels are, the investment they can get is also limited.
In order to make high-quality goods, funds can only be used wisely.
Producer Mo Xingyuan is essentially a businessman, thinking that as long as He Ling can get by in acting, such a deal would not be a bad deal for the crew, so he persuaded Yao Chuan and others to agree.
As a result, I didn't expect that on the first day of entering the group, He Ling's acting skills could not be seen, but his temper made everyone see clearly.
Qin Li picked up the script on one side and flipped through it, and said casually, "...haven't thought about changing people?"
After reacting, Qi An was slightly startled, and stopped with a low voice, "Qin Li, you haven't seen He Ling before."
You know, according to Qin Li's past temperament, he would never interfere in the affairs of other crews that had nothing to do with him, but what he said now clearly suggested that Yao Chuan and others should replace He Ling.
My friend and He Lingsu haven't met each other. If this matter gets out, maybe outsiders will misinterpret it.
Qin Yue didn't change his face, "If you want to make a good drama, you can't be sloppy with any character. There are obviously more suitable and more cooperative candidates, why do you have to choose someone who plays big names and is not professional?"
Yao Chuan and Fang Zhixing looked at each other, and the latter asked in a low voice, "You mean to replace He Ling and let Ji Li come on?"
Qin Li's hand holding the script was tight, and he didn't say absolutely, "There are so many good actors, the casting needs still depend on you."
"This matter still has to be decided by Lao Yao and Xingyuan." Fang Zhixing looked at director Yao Chuan.
To be honest, he himself has a good impression of Ji Li, and he is also looking forward to playing Jin Wang Xie Yan played by him. It's just that as a screenwriter, he doesn't have any substantive decision-making power over the casting of actors.
Yao Chuan lit a cigarette for himself, shook his head in the smoke, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."
Because He Ling brought money into the group, it was clearly written in the actor's contract that unless there was some force majeure, the actor could not be replaced. If the film party breaches the contract, it will pay double liquidated damages.
If you insist on forcing a replacement, I'm afraid the disturbance will not be small.
"This matter has to be discussed with Xingyuan and the others. During the filming of the crew, I don't want to cause too many irrelevant problems." Although Yao Chuan's personality is a bit tough, his thoughts are still delicate, "It's okay to change someone else , if Ji Li is replaced, I am afraid that this child will be targeted by He Ling in the company in the future."
Taking a step back, actors and roles just need time to adjust, he can't beat He Ling to death. As a director, he is also obliged to help actors figure out and shape their characters.
Having said all this, Qin Li nodded, "If you need funds in the future, you can find me."
"That's right, the ip investment department of our Lixing Culture is worrying about having money and nowhere to spend it." Qi An joked.
He and Qin Li cooperated to open a film and television company, and there were countless talented and veteran actors who signed contracts to cooperate. In addition, there will be regular acquisitions or film and television resources, and the current development momentum is very strong.
"Okay, after I finished filming this TV series, I plan to take a small step to make a movie called "Special Operations". The first version of the script has already been written, and I will show it to you when the time comes."
Qin Li put down the script in his hand and responded, "Okay."
As soon as the words fell, the scene manager came over with the martial arts director, and said excitedly, "Director, the preparations are almost done. The assistant director has already arranged for the actors to audition, and the filming can start later."
Yao Chuan was surprised when he heard this, "Are you almost ready?"
"It's less than half an hour." Qin Li glanced at the time and said.
After teaching a set of martial arts moves, no matter how fast an actor digests them, it would take an hour.
The martial arts instructor hired by the crew was Wang Ruixiang, a famous hit star in the early years. Later, due to the decline of kung fu movies, he transformed into a martial arts instructor.
People of their generation have real kung fu, even if they switch to behind-the-scenes, they will not relax their guidance requirements for acting.
"Old Xiang, don't let the water go, our play can't be sloppy." Yao Chuan reminded.
"Who is sloppy?" Wang Ruixiang is notoriously serious, and for the first time there is a smile on his usually stern face, "I still want to ask you, where did you find the good seedlings?"
Qin Li's eyes brightened slightly when he heard this obvious 'compliment'. He looked at Ji Li who had been tied to the wire in the distance, and heard Wang Ruixiang say again.
"Let me keep it a secret first, you can see for yourself."
