004
Xu Yin studied the script after returning.
It is a fairy-tale web drama, adapted from a novel written many years ago. Although the novel was a little popular back then, it did not last long and has no influence now.
In addition, one of the male and female protagonists is a third-tier male actor who has a bad reputation due to his temper, and the other is a new generation female member who was criticized for her poor acting skills in her first drama for a whole year. The remaining book fans are very disappointed with this lineup, and after criticizing the crew for several days and nights, they said they would definitely not watch this drama.
Although the leading actress has a large number of fans and has worked hard to promote the show, the outside world is ready to make fun of the show, so overall... this show has become a flop before filming even started.
This is probably why Xu Yin, the male fourth role, was cast without an audition...
But to be honest, the role Qin Yue chose for Xu Yin is a good one and has a lot of room for development.
Mu Yunyi, the son of the leader of the martial arts world and the young master of Taoyun Villa, was a poetic and smiling young man in white clothes with a sword when he first met. He was completely evil after the entire villa was massacred by the demons and some underworld forces. He walked through the bloody road step by step with a smile on his face, which not only scared the demons but also scared his companions. In the end, he completely turned into a villain, a tragic character who was killed by the heroine reluctantly after he went astray.
When it was white, it was really white, and when it turned black, it was forced to become completely black step by step.
There are many important characters in the novel, so even though Mu Yunyi's presence is very strong, he is only the fourth male lead. However, the character has many fans. After all, a character who is almost the white moonlight in the hearts of all girls when he first appears, but becomes evil because his whole family is killed, and is driven completely crazy by reality bit by bit, and dies so miserably, this kind of tragic character will always arouse pity.
The name of the whole drama is "Chaos Pearl", and the setting involves gods, mortals, demons, the imperial court, and the rivers and lakes, with a lot of elements. The novel begins with the suspected murder of Zizhu Xianjun, who holds the Chaos Pearl, and the Chaos Pearl falls into the mortal world and turns into the heroine, the gate of heaven closes, the immortals descend to the mortal world, and the demons are born. It has a total of more than 700,000 words, and the structure is actually quite large, but I don't know how the online drama will be filmed, and the expected 50-cent special effects are also scary.
Xu Yin studied it carefully on the way to the barbecue restaurant, and finally rubbed his forehead.
No matter what, he just needs to play his part well.
I still have to meet the director in a few days and take some final makeup photos. The filming will officially start in a month. As for Gu Lin, Xu Yin will only work for a few more days until it is exactly one month, and then he can't continue.
In the next few days, Xu Yin maintained a life rhythm of working during the day and completing tasks and studying scripts at night.
Speaking of which—
"The probability of getting a random task on the Assorted Road is really high..."
Xu Yin encountered a random task on Shijin Road for the seventh time and couldn't help but sigh.
No, to be precise, he has only gotten random tasks on the Assorted Road so far.
Seeing a group of stray dogs rushing out of the alley ahead, four of them were besieging another one. In Xu Yin's field of vision, the words on the task bar changed to "Please rescue the poor little dog who somehow provoked the big guys. 4 points."
018: "Tsk, today's mission is a bit simple."
Xu Yin stepped over.
The little black dog staggered and fell to the ground. Looking back, he saw several big dogs pressing towards him and started screaming miserably.
The big dogs howled "Woof woof woof woof" and their tails swung wildly. Just as they were about to move forward, a dark shadow suddenly pressed over from the side, and at the same time a deep roar sounded: "Woof!"
They were startled and turned their heads to see a human with two paws raised. The white and thin paws looked quite ferocious, and the bared mouth looked quite fierce. This fierce human rushed towards them: "Woof woof woof!"
"Ahhh!" The big dogs were frightened and quickly fled in all directions.
The little black dog was stunned. He looked up and saw the human put down his paw and smiled at him: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
“…” The little black dog, “…Woo woo woo!”
It turned around gratefully, hugged the human's ankle with its two front paws and rubbed it, and it seemed as if tears were about to burst out of its two wet little eyes!
Xu Yin smiled and squatted down to stroke the dog's head. Suddenly, he felt something and looked up at the road.
In the familiar black car, the man in the back seat was staring at him deeply.
Xu Yin… Xu Yin smiled and waved at the other person: "Hi."
018 Tucao: "Is this person waiting for you on this street every day?"
Mr. Melon Eater, who had been making eye contact with Xu Yin for seven consecutive days, paused. For the first time, before being taken away by the car, he took the initiative to raise the window and turned his head.
Xu Yin didn't care. He stood up with a smile and wanted to leave, but the little black dog held his ankle and refused to let go.
Xu Yin looked down.
The puppy looked up.
A minute later, the little black dog successfully sat in Xu Yin's arms, wagging its tail wildly and panting with its mouth wide open, "Hahahaha".
In the traffic, Wen Congyan lowered his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly spoke in a low voice: "… The security on Shijin Road is not very good recently."
The assistant who was acting as the driver in front: “???”
Then why have you asked me to drive to Shijin Road every day recently? ?
After Wen Congyan finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced out the car window.
The lights on the street lamps changed, and there was no trace of the young man on the sidewalk.
The only thing left in my mind was the image of the other person smiling and waving.
In the darkness, his ears felt a little hot.
While doing the task, Xu Yin did not forget to draw - his tablet had arrived, and all the necessary software had been installed on his laptop. After contacting Gu Lin's sister, Xu Yin drew two sketches and showed them to Gu Lin's sister the general style of the painting.
Xu Yin already has his own style of painting, which is relatively mature. It all depends on whether the other person likes it or not. However, as soon as Gu Linmei saw it, she sent a string of “Ahhhh, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful” responses.
The order was finalized smoothly, and Xu Yin did not ask for any fees.
Sister Gu Lin kept asking: "Is it really possible? Is it really possible? Do you really want to give me one? Brother qaq!!"
Although Xu Yin didn't have any examples and only gave her two line drawings, Gu Lin believed that she was quite knowledgeable about this aspect. As soon as she saw the line drawings, she knew that Xu Yin's drawings would be fine. And Xu Yin actually planned to give her one of these quality drawings directly! What a bargain!
Xu Yin laughed.
After all, the girl is Gu Lin's sister, and this is his first picture in this world. Xu Yin feels that he is not in a hurry to make money, so he replied: "If you like it, please help promote it when the time comes^^"
Sister Gu Lin: "Ahhhhh okay okay thank you so much brother!!!"
After the chat, Gu Linmei turned around and sent a message to her great friend: "Wow, let me show you [picture][picture], my brother's junior high school classmate drew it, isn't it beautiful! He said he would give me a double design for free!"
Gay friend: “??? Damn, free gift?!”
Sister Gu Lin: "Yes!!!"
Friend: "Show me the pictures after they are ready. If they are ok, give me your contact information!"
Sister Gu Lin: "Okay, but I haven't asked him about the price he charges."
My friend: "Price is not an issue, as long as the painting looks good."
Sister Gu Lin's eyes immediately filled with tears. The great god is worthy of being a great god. He is not short of money.
Xu Yin went back and registered another account on Weibo to hang out in the art circle.
His Weibo name is Yin, the same as his Weibo name in his previous life. His introduction is simply "The Painter". After putting two drafts on the Internet with watermarks, he switched accounts and checked his artist accounts.
There are only over 10,000 fans, and we don’t know how many of them are zombie fans.
The most recent Weibo post was half a month ago, and there are only more than 20 comments so far, many of which are incomprehensible and meaningless monologues.
After the filming officially starts, this account will need to be used more frequently...
Xu Yin put down his phone and continued to study the script.
On the second day after her work at Gu Lin officially ended, Xu Yin went to take makeup photos.
This was also the first time Xu Yin met the director. He didn’t know if things in the entertainment industry were always so hasty, but their drama seemed to be quite hasty at the moment…
However, after meeting the director himself, Xu Yin further realized that Qin Yue really didn't just randomly give him the drama after being urged by Wen Yan.
I haven't seen the male and female protagonists Xu Yin, so it's hard to say what they are like. It's probably true that the crew didn't have enough funds, and the special effects are worrying. But Xu Yin still likes the role of Mu Yunyi. Director Yu Fei is very young, maybe he just graduated from college, but he gives people a very down-to-earth feeling.
Xu Yin chatted with him for a few words, and Yu Fei couldn't help but look at Xu Yin carefully.
Xu Yin smiled: "What's wrong?"
Yu Fei whispered, "I didn't expect it to be so reliable."
Xu Yin: “…” Uh.
Yu Fei lowered his head and muttered to himself, "I have no say in the actors of this drama. I can only use whoever the investors put in. The auditions were all done according to the procedures. As a result, the fourth male lead broke his leg before filming started, and the replacement was even more hasty. I didn't expect... that he was quite reliable."
He looked up at Xu Yin again.
Xu Yin smiled, he didn’t hear anything.
Yu Fei said to the staff around him, "Go put on your makeup."
So Xu Yin was taken away to change clothes and put on makeup.
The whole venue was not too busy. After all, Xu Yin came to take the final photos at this time because of special circumstances, and he was the only one who needed care today.
However, with so many people on the field, not many people actually paid attention to Xu Yin.
After all, they had never heard of the name Xu Yin. Although the boss of Wenxing Entertainment, where he worked, came from the super wealthy Wen family, the company was doing very badly.
Perhaps something happened inside the wealthy family that was unknown to outsiders, and the Wen family no longer cares about them. They have been self-reliant but have never been able to grow stronger. They are small in scale and have little sense of presence.
Of course, it’s no problem to cram people into such a small web drama.
But again, a little-known male No. 4 from such a company would hardly attract the attention of other staff members. Since Xu Yin came in, many people actually haven't looked at him carefully.
… Only the stylists in the dressing room swallowed their saliva secretly.
The young man closed his eyes and was very quiet.
Not long after, Yu Fei was in the corridor, cigarette in hand, talking to his assistant on the phone to explain something, when he suddenly heard a commotion. He looked in the direction of the sound in the room and was stunned.
Everyone in the room now focused their attention on one person.
The young man who was the focus of attention was dressed in white and had a sword at his side.
Her black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin inserted in it.
Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque and she smiles gently.
He raised his eyes slightly, his eyelashes were like crow feathers, and the curve of the corners of his eyes was slightly outlined, which further highlighted his gentleness and handsomeness.
Everyone present was stunned when they saw it.
Who is this? !
Wait, is this the fourth male who was just chatting with Director Yu
No, they knew there were many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, so when the young man walked in just now, although he had a good figure at first glance, it really wouldn't make these people who have been in the entertainment industry for a long time take a second look. But now that they have a closer look at the face of the man standing in front of them, it is simply...
The face itself is very small, and the facial contour is amazing, in a state between hardness and softness, which is just the right masculine beauty. If you look closely at the jawline and neck, it is simply exquisite.
With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his posture is upright and elegant, and he is a picture wherever he stands.
Especially the smile on the young man’s lips…
He is calm but gentle, and there seems to be a hint of smile in his eyes. If you look into his eyes, you will be drowned by his gentleness!
I’m dying! I’m dying!
The eyes of several girls present were wide open!
This is what Mu Yunyi originally intended!
—After carefully reading the script and the original novel, Xu Yin was actually somewhat fortunate that the character of Mu Yunyi was in line with him in some ways, which made him more confident in playing the role.
Yu Fei had looked at Xu Yin carefully when they were chatting just now. Of course, he knew that Xu Yin was good-looking, but with this kind of dress, coupled with Xu Yin's smile...
His Adam's apple rolled, and after coming to his senses, he quickly threw the cigarette out of his mouth.
When I walked into the room, Xu Yin was already standing in front of the camera, ready to start filming.
Xu Yin noticed him and smiled at him with narrowed eyes.
Yu Fei… Yu Fei frowned and watched the photographer's filming carefully. After a while, he suddenly asked, "If you were Mu Yunyi at the end of the play, how would you act?"
According to the general routine, when a character turns evil in the later stage, both the makeup and clothing will become darker.
However, no matter how the outside world speculates what kind of drama their drama will become, Yu Fei himself does not like to drastically change the original work. Fortunately, the investors do not intend to interfere with Yu Fei in this regard, except for inserting people, so he can do what he wants.
In the original novel, even though Mu Yunyi turned evil in the later period, he was still dressed in white and had a smile on his face. The female supporting character who once admired him also always admired him.
But Mu Yunyi had already changed, completely.
In front of the camera, the young man had been smiling, and the curve of his mouth gradually widened.
He pulled his chin back very slightly, but his eyes were still looking forward with a smile.
Still smiling, but it was a casual and playful smile, without any warmth in his eyes.
Yu Fei heard a girl next to him curse softly, well, it was a "fuck" to express praise.
He loosened his hands that had been clenched into fists, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a smile.
After taking the final photos, Xu Yin removed her makeup and changed her clothes in front of many people. She put on the simple white T-shirt and jeans again, put on a baseball cap and a mask, and returned to the apartment.
"If I join the crew, it's likely that the difficulty of completing random tasks will become higher, right?" Xu Yin pondered.
After joining the crew, he could no longer decide where to move around, and so far, he had only gotten random tasks on Shijin Road. When he entered the film and television city, Shijin Road was gone...
018: "Well... But you can get half of the points at the beginning of the stage mission, and when you complete it, the remaining half will be given to you. You just need to ensure that you can maintain a balance of more than 10 points every day before officially joining the team."
Life is not easy, Xu Yin sighed.
At night, he changed into sportswear, put on sneakers, and said, "Let's go to Shijin Road."
At this moment, in a quiet corner of Shijin Road, on the second floor of a restaurant.
A man was standing by the window, looking at the road outside, quietly, quietly looking...
There were footsteps behind me, followed by a surprised voice: "Cong Yan? You're here so early."
Wen Congyan turned around and nodded, "Second brother."
Wen Yu's father is the second child in the family, and also the second among the younger generation of the Wen family. He is Wen Congyan's cousin.
This restaurant was newly opened by a friend of Wen Yu, so he came to try it out and tried to call Wen Congyan. But he didn't expect Wen Congyan to come, after all, Wen Congyan was very busy, and eight out of ten times he couldn't call him. Unexpectedly, he responded today and came the earliest, which was really like the sun rising from the west.
Wen Yu was very happy. Nowadays, there were not many opportunities for the brothers to get together in a year.
However, he did it first and asked for permission later. He coughed lightly and said, "By the way, Wen Yan will also come today. He brought a friend with him. You should remember him. He was a classmate of his in high school. They had a good relationship back then. His name was Nan Ye."
Wen Yu didn't have any special thoughts about Nan Ye, but he thought it was strange for Wen Yan to bring him here today, after all, it was originally a family dinner. But he wouldn't say anything if Wen Yan wanted to bring him here.
After hearing Wen Yu's words, Wen Congyan just nodded with no expression on his face.
Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but was not too surprised—to be honest, Cong Yan probably didn't take Wen Yan seriously, cough.
Not long after I finished speaking, the person appeared.
Wen Yan appeared at the door with his hands in his pockets, followed by Nan Ye.
Seeing Wen Yu, Wen Yan greeted him nonchalantly: "Second brother."
"Hey, now that you're here, sit down and see what you want to eat." Wen Yu said quickly.
Wen Yan responded again, sat down at the round table, glanced at Wen Congyan, and said "huh".
Wen Yu patted him immediately.
Wen Yan moved his shoulders and rolled his eyes at Wen Congyan.
Nan Ye laughed and called out, "Second brother... Brother Cong Yan."
Wen Congyan just nodded and turned back to look out the window.
Wen Yan rolled his eyes at him, rolled his eyes, and rolled his eyes again... His eyelids almost cramped from rolling so much, but Wen Congyan still looked out the window seriously without even turning his head.
Wen Yan: No, he is tired of flipping through the pages. What is this guy looking at?!
