It was just after eight o'clock when Ji Li arrived at the filming set.
It was still early, and the crew was doing preparatory work. The core area of the filming was sealed off, and outsiders were not allowed to enter and exit at will.
The company did not send any assistance to Ji Li, but only gave him a pass for the actors and crew.
At this moment, Ji Li was standing at the outermost edge of the set, with his palms tightly clutching the straps of his backpack, his expression rarely showing a bit of confusion—where is he going to report
These chores outside of filming were previously handed over to his assistant.
A man in a black jacket saw his figure, approached and asked, "Hello, who are you? This is the set of the film crew, so you can't enter casually."
When Ji Li saw the work ID on his chest, he immediately reacted and said politely, "Hello, big brother, I am the actor who plays Song Zhao in "Bang Guo Tian Xia". My name is Ji Li."
With that said, he handed over his actor pass.
"Ji Li?" The man glanced at his ID, and then carefully scrutinized his appearance, "So you are the newcomer from Dream Media who was temporarily stuffed in?"
Stuck in temporarily
Ji Li thought about this word secretly, and asked hesitantly, "May I ask who you are?"
"I'm the casting director of this show, Xiao Linsen." Xiao Linsen handed back his ID, and pointed to the road, "Go straight for fifty meters, and you will see the actor's dressing room on the right turn when you see the blue wall. You can find someone there ask."
"Okay, thank you director." Ji Li nodded, not delving into the meaning of what the other party said just now.
Xiao Linsen stared at Ji Liyuan's back, shook his head and murmured, "It looks good, but it looks like a vase that can't act."
Come on, let's hurry up and follow Teacher Qin Li's instructions to find a candidate actor.
With Ji Li's appearance, how could he be willing to pretend to be ugly? I'm afraid I don't even want to get my makeup dirty!
He dared to bet that he didn't even have to wait for the rivalry with Teacher Qin Li. The other party would not be able to pass the first beggar group scene this afternoon.
…
Ji Li found the small room where the supporting characters put on makeup, and before knocking on the door, the stylist came over with a bunch of things.
As soon as the two had a face-to-face meeting, the latter asked in surprise, "...are you Song Zhao's actor?"
"Yes, hello teacher, my name is Ji Li."
The stylist raised his eyebrows and signaled him to go in, "Just call me Zhang Ming, go in, I'm in charge of your overall look today."
Ji Li nodded, and silently followed behind Zhang Ming.
"I heard that someone was changed temporarily, but I didn't expect to be replaced by such a handsome little boy like you." The stylists in the circle basically regard 'rainbow fart' as a necessary skill, and they can use any adjective.
Ji Li was not surprised, so he could only curl his lips slightly.
"Sit down, put on the headgear first, then make up, and finally change clothes." Zhang Ming took out the equipped headgear, patted the simple modeling table, "The first scene in the announcement is scheduled for half past ten, we You have to hurry up."
The scene may not be shot on time, but the styling must be done on time. This is the default principle on the set.
Ji Li sat down calmly according to his instructions, and took out the thin pages of the script in the small backpack.
Seeing his calm appearance, Zhang Ming asked amusedly, "Is this your first time filming? I have met a lot of newcomers before. Some are nervous and some are excited. I have never met someone like you."
"...It's the first time filming." Ji Li said from the position of the original owner.
He lowered his eyes and opened his script, and filled the thin paper with colored pens of various colors on the thin paper, which was less than three pages long.
"So serious?" Zhang Ming was really shocked now.
How can a beggar character who doesn't have many roles be treated with such care by young people
"Of course you have to be serious." Ji Li looked at Zhang Ming behind him through the mirror, and curled his lips, "Even if it's a small role, I can't let it go badly."
Zhang Ming was taken aback by his pure smile, and he was stunned for half a second before continuing with the action at hand, and encouraged, "Then you work hard."
Ji Li smiled and looked back.
This is the first step for him to start again, and he must work hard.
The movie "The Kingdom of Heaven" is adapted from the novel of the same name, telling the story of Song Yi, the famous general of the Luo Dynasty, and Cao Shijing, the king of the state. [*]
The content of the script that Ji Li could get was limited. In order to understand the background of the whole story, he spent an afternoon and overnight to complete the original novel.
Song Zhao played by him is Song Yi's younger brother who lives outside.
The two brothers were forced to separate when they encountered wars when they were young. Elder brother Song Yi was adopted by the royal family and became a general of a generation, while younger brother Song Zhao was living outside and became a beggar.
Song Zhao's appearance in the novel has only three lines, and the five scenes in the script have been expanded.
Ji Li is not from a major, and his usual way of acting is to turn himself into the character itself.
Such an 'immersive' method of entering the play has not been the mainstream advocated by the film and television industry, because once encountering a complex role, if the actor empathizes too deeply, it is very likely to affect the psychological state of the person.
Ji Li once minored in academic performance theory during her free vacation. Even so, he still can't change the 'immersive' performance mode.
So after getting the role of a beggar, Ji Li went hungry for two days, skipping meals and even drinking as little water as possible, just to keep herself in a real sense of hunger.
Not only that, but the sum of his sleep time in the past two days was less than six hours.
The background of the movie is full of wars, and the common people will die in chaos if they are not careful. For beggars like Song Zhao, it is normal not to dare to sleep deeply and not to sleep enough.
When the physiological state is similar, the details of the character will come out naturally.
Zhang Ming went to the front to prepare for makeup, and immediately noticed the dark circles under Ji Li's eyes, "It's not that I'm talking about you, you youngsters can't stay up late just relying on your energy."
"You have dark circles under your eyes. Fortunately, what you want today is a beggar's 'dirty makeup'."
Hearing his real feedback, Ji Li felt satisfied in his heart, "Help me make it look less ugly, the rougher and dirtier my skin, the better."
When Zhang Ming heard this request, he couldn't help but cry, "Others want the characters in the play to be as handsome as possible, but you do the opposite? Originally, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt to the beggar look, so I asked me to help you look a little better. "
"Role comes first." Ji Li didn't care at all, and asked instead, "How can there be a beggar who is innocent?"
Zhang Ming is a handsome dog. He had a good impression of Ji Li because of his looks, but now because of Ji Li's seriousness about the role, his impression in his heart has soared.
"It's hard for me to look so delicate." He looked at the white and smooth skin of the other party, and exaggerated, "But I promise, I can turn you, a little fairy boy, into an ugly beggar."
Ji Li chuckled lightly, agreeing.
…
It was past ten o'clock when Ji Li changed into her costume. After Zhang Ming finished his styling, he rushed to put on makeup for other group performers.
The field manager never came to ask Ji Li to come on stage. Seeing that the expected shooting time in the notice was getting closer, he simply grabbed the script and went out, intending to go straight to the shooting scene and wait.
The pain of hunger came from his stomach, Ji Li curled up and squatted on the ground, silently enduring it. He didn't think about going to the warm water in the thermos for relief, for fear that it would affect the dry lips.
Filming is about to start, and he can't let his work go to waste here.
It wasn't until the staged discomfort dissipated that Ji Li struggled to get up.
The numbness of his feet after squatting for a long time, coupled with the dizziness caused by hunger, made him move forward uncontrollably.
Ji Li didn't have time to make adjustments, so he could only subconsciously cover his head with his hands.
—Crack.
The expected pain of falling to the ground did not appear, but bumped into someone instead.
"Are you okay?" The deep voice hit the eardrums, "Be careful when you walk."
"Sorry." Ji Li was taken aback, and quickly took half a step back to stand firm. He raised his eyes and bumped into that superior figure—
The height of the other party is 188 by visual inspection, and his appearance is extraordinary and handsome with makeup on. He is wearing an ancient costume headgear, and his long ink-like hair is tied up by a gorgeous golden and copper-colored hair crown. He is capable and free and easy.
The man was wearing ordinary black short-sleeved clothes, and it looked like he hadn't changed his clothes yet. Even so, I can still think of the strong figure under the clothes, and the powerful aura exuded is natural.
In an instant, Ji Li recognized the person who came, it was Qin Li.
In the original book, the other party is a legendary figure standing at the top of the entertainment industry, and the protagonist Ji Yunqi collaborated with him in his first film and television work.
After the assessment that day, Ji Li searched the Internet for the movie "The Awakened" and got a better understanding of Qin Li.
The other party's acting career is almost legendary in Huaguo's entertainment industry. His vision in choosing scripts is extremely vicious, and all the movies he starred in won the box office champions in the same period after they were released.
There is a saying in the film and television industry - the only person who can surpass Qin Li is probably Qin Li himself.
This time, the movie "Tianxia Guoguo" was invested and supervised by Qin Li himself.
It took nearly a year and a half for the pre-production of the film. It is said that after the filming started, all the actors involved in the filming were capable and experienced actors.
But the crew's secrecy measures have been done very well. After so long, they just haven't leaked a little bit of wind, which tickles the hearts of netizens.
It can be seen that the crew really wants to make a movie, rather than relying on excessive marketing to gain popularity.
This time Qin Li plays General Song Yi, the elder brother of beggar Song Zhao. Ji Li's few three rivalry scenes are all about playing with each other.
Ji Li is a bit obsessive in his bones, even in the real entertainment circle, he still loves to cooperate with actors like Qin Li.
It's not that he looks down on new actors, but that acting pays attention to the blending of aura between characters, and experienced actors are more efficient when they work together.
Thinking of Qin Li's superb acting skills in the movie clip, Ji Li suddenly looked forward to the next filming.
The entire face of the 'little beggar' in front of him was blackened and messy, except for those eyes which looked particularly agile and bright.
Qin Li looked at him with an indescribable sense of familiarity.
"Qin Li, why did you stop here?" Qi An approached and saw a stranger beside him, "You are a group performer? Why did you come here?"
Before Ji Li could reply, the field manager rushed over in a hurry, "Ji Li? Why don't you just stay in the dressing room, why are you walking around like this?"
Seeing Qin Li's figure, the field manager subconsciously slowed down his words, "Brother Li, what are you..."
"Hello, I'm Ji Li."
"The filming is about to start. The director is calling you to go over and set the scene. Hurry up." The scene manager kept the business in mind and urged.
Hearing this, Ji Li nodded slightly, then ran towards the set with his backpack in his hands. Since he and Qin Li have a rivalry, sooner or later there will be a chance to strike up a conversation, so there is no rush for this moment.
"Brother Li, I'll go back first if the person is found." The field manager said.
"Hmm." Qin Li looked sideways at Ji Li who had already run away, the familiarity in his eyes was still lingering in his mind.
In the next second, he saw Qi An slap his forehead suddenly, "I said, why is this name so familiar! So it's him!"
It is definitely not as simple as a group performance to be able to shout "beggars" alone.
Qin Li guessed this, "It should be Song Zhao's actor."
"Yes, but I'm not talking about this." Qi An hooked his friend's shoulder and explained, "I also watched the assessment video sent by director Wang Zhang a few days ago..."
As a manager, Qi An still has the ability to know people.
He felt that the trainee in the video was a potential stock, so he investigated the other party's information privately.
"Ji Li... this name is not common." Qi An glanced at his friend, teasingly reminded, "Mr. Qin, didn't you expect that? The trainee you are optimistic about and the newcomer actor you are not optimistic about are actually the same person .”
Qin Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and he finally understood where the subtle sense of familiarity came from.
He shook off his friend's hand and glanced lightly, "Let's go, let's go to the shooting site."
