Return of the Reborn

"Li Shao, do you want to drink water? Are you tired? Do you want me to beat your waist and legs?"

The corner of Li Ming's mouth twitched, and he sighed helplessly as he looked at the young man who was sitting across from him and asked him how he was. "No need, I'm not tired; you don't need to call me Young Master Li, just call me Li Ming."

"How can I do that! Young Master Li, don't dislike me. Although I'm an intern manager, believe me, I got perfect marks in all subjects when I was in college, and I'm absolutely capable! This time I can be your manager, Young Master Li. It's my glory, so you can leave everything to me with confidence!" The young man spoke more and more vigorously, and his face began to turn red.

It's just that Li Ming on the side is a little troubled.

Yesterday, after he talked with Director Wang about the contract and everything about the filming, Director Wang arranged for him this agent.

Now Li Ming has not signed a contract with a company, he is a freelance actor, but after all, the director of the play is very important to him, so he sent an agent for Li Ming, named Li Lian, with the same surname as Li Ming, who just graduated from university. Still ignorant.

He has no experience at all, but he has passion and energy.

No, it should be said that there is excess energy.

With his chin propped up, Li Ming looked out the window boredly, ignoring Li Lian's noise beside him. Li Lian hadn't stopped in the car since the morning. In fact, Li Lian might consider becoming a cross talk actor.

Thinking of this, Li Ming raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Li Lian on the side became quiet in an instant, Li Ming looked back at him with some doubts, Li Lian shook his head, and said seriously to Li Ming: "Young Master Li, don't laugh like that in the future, you must never laugh like that in front of others! "

Li Ming tilted his head: "Why?"

"It's too penetrating!" Li Lian clenched his fists suddenly. "I'm really telling the truth. It's too intrusive. I feel like you are plotting against someone, Young Master Li, eh? Don't you plot against me, Young Master Li. You are the first celebrity I am in charge of. Although my experience is not very good, I will definitely learn from it. Young Master Li, don’t dislike me..."

"Aren't you thirsty?" Looking at Li Lian who started to chatter again, Li Ming was really helpless.

You obviously want to do this kind of thing for your own good, but you really don't want to accept it...how should you refuse?

"Not thirsty, not thirsty!" Li Lian took out a bottle of mineral water from a bag he was carrying. "Look, Li Shao, I have prepared Zhou Dang for a long time. This bag is full of food. It is specially prepared for you, Li Shao. I heard that this time I will go to the deep mountains and old forests. Alas, I used to be in some places. I have seen it in the small crew, but I heard that filming, especially in the deep mountains and old forests, is particularly hard..."

Li Ming turned his head calmly and continued to ignore Li Lian's nonsense.

Director Wang had already told him yesterday that this time... Li Ming frowned slightly. In fact, until now, Li Ming was not sure that he could play this role well. In fact, the degree of difficulty was a bit high. .

Some of the previous roles were actually relatively simple. After all, Li Ming has a lot of life experience, and he can roughly simulate the character of some characters, so it has been smooth sailing until now, and he has not encountered any bottlenecks.

But this time, maybe he really encountered a problem.

Boring to pick up the script, Li Ming concentrated on reading it again. In fact, the script is very simple, and the content to be expressed is also very clear. Even Director Wang told him clearly when he came that the role he played was a little bit of a borderline.

It was nothing more than a young leader of a mysterious oriental tribe. His tribe survived by relying on the great oriental country, so he came to the great oriental country with this gratitude, brought the best gift of their tribe, and even danced their tribe for the emperor himself. dance.

And the emperor was also quickly attracted by the young tribal leader, and there was even some ambiguity between the two of them, until the tribal leader was about to return to his tribe, the emperor even personally sent them off, and gave the young leader a lot of things. Protect the young leader and go back.

Everything looks great, doesn't it?But if that's all it is, Director Wang won't pay much attention to this scene, just find someone to act it.

The important thing is the reversal later on. As soon as the young leader returned to the tribe, he immediately put away his ignorance in the world in the great eastern country. His purpose of going to the eastern great country was very simple from the beginning, which was to gain the trust of the eastern emperor and find the key to the treasure.

It took decades for their tribe to find a treasure. It is said that the treasure inside can easily make a tribe a hundred times stronger. The tribe of the young leader is not strong, and there are even many powerful tribes around who want to annex them .

The young chief knew that the treasure belonged to the Eastern Emperor, so he went to get the key, and finally...

"Young Master Li, Young Master Li? We're here, are you still reading the script?" After being pushed by Li Lian, Li Ming broke away from the script.

Looking up at Li Lian, Li Ming rubbed his eyes before getting out of the car. He checked the time. It was already afternoon. He didn't expect it to take so long.

On the other hand, Li Lian touched his face in puzzlement. The feeling Li Ming gave him just now seemed to be a little bit wrong.

Shaking his head, Li Lianquan thought that he was delusional, how could it be different, they were obviously the same person.

In the evening, the crew set up a tent. This time, the scenes in the palace were first filmed, and the scenes of the tribe had to go into the deep mountains and old forests. It would not be easy to toss around then.

Director Wang shouted loudly with a straight face as always, but Director Wang must also be nervous.

Li Ming was already a little tired after a day's ride in the car. He told Li Lian and went to rest early. The male star, I haven't met him yet, I heard that he won't be here until early in the morning.

And some other actors are still a few short, really, a mess...

Since he went to bed early, Li Ming woke up early in the morning. Someone from the production team had already cooked breakfast. Li Ming had no appetite, so he barely drank a few mouthfuls of porridge. Director Wang ate a lot, and then regained his energy Started to command people.

Instead of filming today, I started to hold a filming opening ceremony, which is regarded as auspicious. In fact, this kind of ceremony is almost the same, I just want to comfort my heart and give myself affirmation.

The other leading actor who played against Li Ming also came to the scene. He heard that he had to catch an overnight flight and took an early morning car to come here.

His name is Liu Huadong. He has the appearance of a standard man. He is handsome and not lacking in temperament. Li Ming has also seen the files of the other party. He has indeed made many good films. Director Wang did put a lot of effort into finding someone for the first time.

The only thing that made Li Ming uncomfortable was that when shaking hands with him, the other party obviously held it for a few seconds longer, as if a little unwilling to let go. In fact, this kind of thing is also very common in this circle. Men who have a good impression of each other , It's okay to go to bed together once in a while or something.

But the premise is that both of them have that kind of sexual orientation, and they are both voluntary.

Obviously, Li Ming didn't want to, and Li Ming directly expressed his meaning with his face all day long. Liu Huadong also knew Li Ming's background, and at most he acted more intimately, but he didn't dare to go any further, just looking for interest in boredom.

In the evening, Director Wang specially had a meal with several leading actors, and also said a lot. Li Ming listened to some and remembered it, but he was still not ready. The first part of the role he played was not bad. , but the final climax part requires full acting skills.

Otherwise, it can only become a snake swallowing an elephant with a lack of heart.

Especially in the scene where the young leader's ambitions are exposed at the end, it really put a lot of pressure on Li Ming to play such a character well and vividly.

With this state, Li Ming was called out countless times by Director Wang when the filming started the next day. There was really no way, Director Wang could only let Li Ming rest first, and shoot other things first.

Li Ming also knew that he was not in the right state. He always felt that he was close to something. He had read the script many times. In fact, sometimes he still entered the role, but it was just a little bit, just a little bit.

Li Ming was calm, but Li Lian at the side was a little anxious, and specially delivered the boxed lunch to Li Ming at noon. "Young Master Li, if you want me to tell you, it's better to take your time when it comes to filming. Don't worry, it's useless. In fact, I think you acted very well, but Director Wang is very demanding. It's okay. Let's continue in the afternoon. Eat, here."

Li Ming looked at the boxed lunch handed over and shook his head. "I don't really want to eat it, you can give it to them."

"Don't worry, people are like iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will feel hungry! I know Li Shao, you feel uncomfortable when Director Wang yelled at you in the morning, but you still have to eat, otherwise how can you have the energy to continue acting in the afternoon? Well, I think Li Shao, you acted really well, but I also feel that there is a little bit missing, and I can't say it, but I believe Li Shao, you will definitely be able to do it!" Li Lian's eyes suddenly lit up, behind him Great pride.

Li Ming laughed, and looked at Li Lian, Li Lian was actually a good person, although he was a bit wordy, but there was always energy and enthusiasm in young people. "I see, thanks; but I really don't want to eat much."

Li Lian also probably knew that Li Ming would not eat if he said he would not eat, so he muttered a few words before leaving.

Seeing that Li Lian was gone, Li Ming picked up the script and continued to read it. They are filming the scene where the young leader enters the Eastern Great Country. There is also a dance in it. The dance teacher will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so the dance part may be Postponed until the end.

After the young leader performed the dance, the emperor was attracted, let the young leader stay in the palace, and rewarded a large number of clothes, one of which was more important.

Because the emperor attached great importance to this young leader, some veteran officials in the court had some opinions on this. Some even directly said that the young leader was a disaster, and the emperor went to the back mountain after a big quarrel with these veteran officials.

But he saw the young leader sleeping on a tree.

It was when the wind was blowing in summer, the sound of cicadas, the sound of the wind, and the peaceful sleeping face of the young man made the emperor instantly brighten his mood.

The emperor was touching the boy's sleeping face and muttering, but he couldn't hear what he said, the humming of cicadas overwhelmed the emperor's murmur...

"Hey!"

"Da!" Li Ming was taken aback by the visitor, and the script in his hand fell to the ground in an instant.

Picking up the script, Li Ming glanced at the person coming, and silently patted the dust on the script.

"It is said that you don't dare to eat the crew's boxed lunch because of your poor performance?" Director Wang put the boxed lunch in his hand aside, sat down beside Li Ming and continued eating. The boxed lunch in his hand was already half eaten.

"Did Li Lian ask Director Wang to come over?" Li Ming could probably guess why Director Wang came over.

"There is a silly kid who has a lot of fighting spirit and blood, but his own actors don't give face, so he has no choice but to ask me." Director Wang said while eating, eating very fast, but it didn't affect his speech .

"He's not bad, but he's a bit wordy." Li Ming gave an appropriate evaluation.

"Let's not talk about him. In fact, at your age, Li Ming, you are very talented to be able to act like this. It's just that I want more than that. Among you young people, I have always valued you very much. It can make people break through your previous acting skills." Director Wang rarely said some words of praise.

"Consolation?" Li Ming didn't care.

"Fart, do I seem to be someone who can comfort people! But Li Ming, you are indeed too calm and quiet. What are you hiding? I have a hunch that as long as you act in your true colors in the last few ambitious scenes, it will definitely be fine." Shine brilliantly." Director Wang ate a few more mouthfuls of rice, chewed and swallowed it before continuing. "Absolutely!"

"Director Wang, you mean that I am such an ambitious person?" Li Ming looked at Director Wang who was eating with a smile, but his expression became subtle.

Indeed, he never dared to reveal his true nature when he was acting. He knew that the last few scenes where the chief was almost crazy were not much different from his hidden true nature.

"I didn't say that." Director Wang stopped eating, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "Li Ming, what do you think of the film I made?"

Li Ming turned his head and thought for a while. There are not many directors in Director Wang's generation. In the past few years, Director Wang has made many high-quality films, and he is already considered a leader among them. "The forward part."

"Then what do you think of my films among all the directors?" Director Wang continued to ask.

This time Li Ming raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything; although Director Wang is famous for "quality films", in terms of level among the directors, there are still many people in front of him who shoot better than Director Wang. dead director.

"My father is a small director. When I was young, I thought it would be good to surpass my father. When I grew up and my vision widened, I realized how small I am. There are too many people I want to surpass. There are too many." Speaking of this, Director Wang's eyes became a little misty.

"Our generation is obviously worse than the previous generation, what about the next generation? Who can guarantee that the next generation will not be worse than our generation? The only thing I want to do now is to make better and better movies, Li Ming, I have high expectations for you, so don't let me down this time." After finishing speaking, Director Wang glanced at Li Ming with unsatisfactory eyes, and didn't feel like eating the boxed lunch anymore, so he simply covered the boxed lunch in his hand.

Standing up, Director Wang stretched. "I lost my lunch box, come and take a picture after eating later."

Li Ming tilted his eyes slightly, and didn't look back until Director Wang left.

expect?Ah……
