The training time was not long, and no one fantasized about being able to cultivate an actor in a few weeks, and Ji Sheng didn't feel that he had any talent beyond ordinary people in acting, so when he finished learning the basic theoretical knowledge, Xie Xuanming just took him with him. After the revised script returned to China, Ji Sheng immediately began to analyze and study the script of "The Drummer".
Before, Ji Sheng only skimmed through the script, because the plot fit his own life experience, so he didn't read it very carefully. Now after careful study, Ji Sheng discovered that, as a semi-documentary, the emotional scenes in this book are a bit out of line.
"One man and one man singing love songs duet in a small room?" Ji Sheng flipped through the script, "Is this possible to film? And why don't I remember that I have done such a thing before?"
"You have." Xie Xuanming said.
"...well, I have." Ji Sheng and him looked at each other for a second, then compromised, "But there's no need to shoot it so straightforwardly, it's based on life experience... I feel like I'm going to come out straight away in this drama gone."
"That's not true." Xie Xuanming said jokingly, "It's not you who wants to come out."
In fact, the script of "The Drummer" does not describe much about the feelings of the "Drummer" himself. What is more inscribed is the sincerity and enthusiasm of the drummer for his dreams. On the contrary, the male lead as the narrator always has a certain perspective on the male lead. This kind of friendship between appreciation and yearning seems ambiguous in various scenes.
Ji Sheng, who had read the script, naturally knew that the prototype of the second male character was Xie Xuanming. He flipped through the script and said, "Is it okay to shoot like this... The audience can also guess which role corresponds to you."
"Adaptation." Xie Xuanming said, "And it doesn't matter even if you guess, because it's a fact that I like you."
"Wow." Ji Sheng put down the script, covered his chest with a smile, "Why didn't I realize that you are so good at talking about love?"
"Finally realized?" Xie Xuanming glanced at him, "You used to be good at everything, but your vision was not very good."
After he and Ji Sheng got together, he gradually let go of some obsessions, and he can joke about the bitter past.
Naturally, Ji Sheng knew what he meant, and said with a smile, "It's enough to have good eyesight now."
He turned another page of the script, couldn't help pointing at the name on it and laughed out loud, "But this pseudonym is too much."
"The Drummer" couldn't use the prototype's real name, so Ji Sheng turned into Ji Renshi, Xie Xuanming changed his name to Xie Yuan, and Sheng Kongzhi went too far, turning directly into Sheng.
When Ji Sheng saw the script for the first time, he laughed so hard at "Sheng" that he might as well just print Sheng Kongzhi's ID number on the script.
Xie Xuanming calmly explained this: "Some people don't do human affairs, so there is no need to save face."
Ji Sheng laughed enough, sat up straight and sighed: "Is there really anyone willing to play this role? The character design is too bad."
Zheng Meiyun clutched the script, his hands trembling slightly.
As an 18th-line actor who has guest starred in various online dramas all the year round, Zheng Meiyun has been in the showbiz for many years. His greatest achievement is that he has a building in a forum that "no one thinks that Zheng Meiyun is a fool like Zheng Meiyun." "Sheng Kong Zhido" discussion on the 200-story building, of which the 180th floor is controlled by fans of Sheng Kongzhi, the eighteenth floor is fans scolding him for gossip, and the remaining two floors are "dd" posted by the host himself.
Therefore, being able to receive the resources to cooperate with Xie Xuanming in online dramas, and still a high-ranking role in the male third, is undoubtedly a blessing from heaven for a bad guy.
Zheng Meiyun was overjoyed when he received the invitation, he answered without even reading the script, packed his luggage and quickly entered the set, and started his unlucky crew life.
It doesn't matter if there are few roles, it doesn't matter if the characters are poor, and it doesn't matter if the role is low.
But no one told him that Xie Xuanming still had the bad habit of wearing small shoes for supporting actors.
It's okay to get off the camera, but once in front of the camera.
Zheng Meiyun held Ji Sheng's hand according to the director's invitation, and felt like crying without tears as Xie Xuanming's knife-like gaze fell on him not far away.
Is it because I acted too badly? It felt like King Xie was going to rush over angrily in the next second and throw himself down from the fifth floor.
Zheng Meiyun had a chill, and suddenly remembered the first time he met Xie Xuanming. He was so excited that he bowed ninety degrees, and when he raised his head, he found Xie Xuanming scanning him up and down with icy eyes.
"It really looks alike." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zheng Meiyun heard a cool sentence.
"What?" he asked fearfully.
"It's nothing." Xie Xuanming seemed to have finally remembered etiquette, squeezed out a smile, and reached out to shake his hand, "Come on."
That tone sounds like I'll kill you if you don't try...
From that moment on, Zheng Meiyun was terrified, deeply reflecting on where he had offended Actor Xie, and when he couldn't remember, he even complained about the good-tempered male lead who also had no right to speak.
"Does Teacher Xie hate me?" Zheng Meiyun took Ji Sheng's hand and asked frowningly, "Every time he looks at me, it's as if I robbed his wife."
Ji Sheng: …
He glanced at Xie Xuanming who was looking at him from a distance, and then looked down at Zheng Meiyun, who was holding his hand, and pulled it out with a dry smile: "Why, Mr. Xie is just strict. Don't you think he usually takes care of new actors?"
This is the truth, Xie Xuanming turned his anger on his anger, and he would not intentionally miss out on anything when he invites the crew to have supper and milk tea on weekdays. And he also took care of Zheng Meiyun, and brought several magazine resources with him.
Although the real reason is to only bring Ji Sheng to the filming, it is too obvious, afraid that the rumors will be bad...
But judging from the results, Xie Xuanming can barely be regarded as a generous senior who actively supports the younger generation.
"That's right, maybe actor Xie is such a cold-faced and warm-hearted person..." Thinking of this, Zheng Meiyun felt a little relieved, but after a while his face turned bitter again, "But actor Xie's expression on people is too scary, because Am I acting badly? Is he doing the same to you?"
Ji Sheng: "..."
Ji Sheng: "Haha, maybe."
At this moment, the atmosphere of the production crew was extremely chilly, Xie Xuanming folded his arms and looked at the two huddled in the corner of the camera, the entire production crew was silent under his low pressure.
In the scene being filmed, the male lead sings the band's new song to the third male lead.
Feeling the cold light behind him, the director secretly groaned, thinking, God knows why a drummer sang a love song to Bass, God knows why the screenwriter wrote hand in hand, God knows why Xie Xuanming's face was as green as a hat.
Fortunately, Ji Sheng and Zheng Meiyun performed well, and two of them passed. The director let out a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to shout "cut".
"Huh." Zheng Meiyun let go of Ji Sheng, smirked and fanned the wind with his hands, and couldn't stop looking at Xie Xuanming, "Mr. Xie is really strict..."
In the middle of his speech, he watched the cold-faced Xie Xuanming come over, put his arms around Ji Sheng's waist and led him away. While walking, he lowered his head and asked softly, "Just now, my shoulder hit the wall. Did it hurt enough? Does it hurt..."
Zheng Meiyun was left alone, with his hands raised, as if struck by lightning.
He doesn't know if Ji Sheng got knocked or not, anyway, he did.
At the same time, he also vaguely realized the reason why Yingdi Xie looked coldly at him.
Zheng Meiyun looked down at his hands that were frozen in the air, and shivered in fear.
On the side, Ji Sheng and Xie Xuanming walked aside, and took off the hands around their waists funny: "Isn't it the script that has been reviewed? Why are you still jealous of the actor?"
"I was jealous once during the review." Xie Xuanming refused to budge, and grabbed Ji Sheng's wrist with his backhand.
"Oh—" Ji Sheng drew his voice and joked, "Then you can turn your back on it, and you won't see it."
Xie Xuanming narrowed his eyes dangerously, and took half a step forward.
"Okay, okay." Ji Sheng grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "Isn't there a scene with your opponent soon?"
Because it starts with the emotional line of the characters, and although the drama "The Drummer" has a hidden same-sex emotional line, it is really too obscure. There are only five scenes in total, and the later episodes were shot very quickly.
Neither Ji Sheng nor Xie Xuanming wanted to reveal Ji Sheng's relationship with Sheng Kongzhi, and the script was changed accordingly. In order to cover up his relationship with Sheng Kongzhi, Ji Sheng and Xie Xuanming's gossip was changed to Sheng's affair because he was found out. In connection with an illegitimate meal, the company launched Ji Ren's ten-block knife, which hypes an ambiguous relationship with Xie Yuan.
The plot that needs to be filmed immediately is the scene where Ji Renshi and Xie Yuan kiss in front of the bus stop, deliberately letting the reporter take pictures of the ambiguous scene.
This scene is naturally based on reality. In Ji Sheng's previous life, it was because of such a borrowed photo that he had a scandal with Xie Xuanming.
The director who filmed the web drama is one of the few friends in Xie Xuanming's circle who can talk. Before filming, he hesitated with the script for a long time, and finally his curiosity overcame his reason. He leaned over and carefully asked Xie Xuanming: "At that time, did we really kiss each other? "
Xie Xuanming was holding the coffee, but he didn't want to drink it anymore, and looked up at the director coldly.
The director shrank his neck back: "Didn't I restore it for the maximum effect... I know, I know, you can do whatever you want..."
Xie Xuanming then looked back, took a sip of coffee, and frowned.
too bitter.
But Ji Sheng must like this taste.
This scene needs to be filmed on location and at night. Ji Sheng waited in the dark for the crew to clear the scene and the props crew to be in place. After the director gave the ready gesture, he stood by the bus stop and stood face to face with Xie Xuanming.
Before the filming started, Ji Sheng raised his head slightly, and gestured for height: "I seem to have reached your nose before, but now I have only reached your chin."
Xie Xuanming didn't reply, only a low "um".
His temperament sank, his eyes were like a deep pool suppressing the vortex at the bottom of the water, the impenetrable darkness and depth, as if he had already entered the drama.
Ji Sheng was also shocked by this look, and suddenly recalled some memories of his previous life.
"Borrow a seat?" He gently pulled off Xie Xuanming's hand, "or..."
"Action!" The director shouted inappropriately, Ji Sheng quickly stopped the car, and the remaining words turned into a sigh, stuck in his throat.
The prop bus approached slowly, lying between the camera and the two.
It's almost time.
Ji Sheng exhaled lightly, and at the second the bus stopped, he took a half step forward, raised one hand to cover his face, and leaned forward in an intimate speaking posture.
The evening wind blew gently, mixed with the unique gasoline smell of the bus, and the red text on the notice board above the head changed from "vehicles entering the station" to "4 more stations away from this station".
Ji Sheng lightly pressed Xie Xuanming's lips.
He tasted the bitter taste of coffee on those lips.
