This rich and powerful young master is not right for me [entertainment]

Before the official shooting of "Black Curtain", both Ji Yan and Xi Ming received gunfight scenes and action training. The action directors of the "Black Curtain" crew are all top-notch in the industry, in order to let the actors reach the best state during the shooting, but only It's because a little training before filming was not enough. After the filming started, Ji Yan and Xi Ming would receive guidance on action scenes during their break time.

This is Qu Xiyu's rigid requirement.

Both chose to accept.

Because of the Sky Award, Ji Yan and Xi Ming had some exchanges, and Xi Ming strongly invited Ji Yan to participate in the script of "The Dark Curtain", but in fact, the two are not very familiar with each other, and the private interaction is more is hardly ever.

Ji Yan only knew that Xi Ming was serious about shooting, but he didn't have a clear understanding of how serious the other party was.

But after officially cooperating with the other party, Ji Yan gradually realized it.

Xi Ming is 40 years old this year. He has been in the film and television industry much longer than Ji Yan, but he is also a model of young fame. He entered the film industry at a young age and was recognized by the Sky Award , followed by bright stars all the way.

It stands to reason that at Xi Ming's age, with two Best Actor trophies in his hand, there is no need for him to work so hard.

But Xi Ming completed all the training before filming meticulously. His physical strength is not as good as that of Ji Yan. He didn't take the initiative to ask to stop. On the contrary, his shooting movements were standard and meticulous. When fighting with the action director, he also punched very hard with every punch, and he didn't mean to relax at all.

In daily life, Xi Ming's personality can be called gentle. Apart from his status as an actor, he also holds positions in some associations in the circle, and served as a jury member when "I, Nameless" was nominated for the Sky Award Vice Chairman, Xi Ming has always had a very good reputation in dealing with people in the circle.

However, when filming the movie, the other party seemed to be a different person.

Not only does he have high demands on his own filming, but he also treats co-stars with impoliteness, but Xi Ming's request is not offensive, because even if he offends someone during the filming, after the filming is over, this person Always make it up in time.

After only a few days in the crew of "Dark Curtain", Ji Yan realized how powerful Xi Ming is.

Director Qu Xiyu is as honest as the rumors say, no matter whether Ji Yan has just won the Sky Award or whether Ji Yan has tens of millions of fans, her attitude towards Ji Yan is very cold, of course, the same is true for Xi Ming , always in a businesslike tone.

Ji Yan felt that this was the shooting atmosphere he was used to.

Qu Xiyu just had a cold face. In fact, she was not as fierce as Zhu Shuguang, but this director also had his own unique views on the script, and he could even be called stubborn. Not long after joining the team, Ji Yan learned it once.

In this movie, Li Yu played by Ji Yan is the villain, but his villain is different from the villain in "The Lost Murder".

If Cheng Yuan is a flesh-and-blood avenger, Li Yu is an inhuman devil. This character was abused by his parents when he was young, which inspired Li Yu's anti-social personality. He did bad things for no purpose , he doesn't have many huge ambitions, he is just pure evil, he should be a bad person by nature.

Ji Yan had never encountered this kind of role before.

When Ji Yan took this role, Xi Ming was actually a little surprised, because in the script, Li Yu is a born bad guy. For an actor like Ji Yan who is on the rise in his career, taking this type of role In fact, it is not conducive to self-development.

A villain is usually a supporting role rather than a protagonist, and Ji Yan also played a villain in "The Lost Intention of Murder". This "Shadow" has added a villain. After a long time, the industry, including the audience, will stereotype his image .

But Ji Yan still took it, without any refutation, and never thought of asking the screenwriter to change his character design. Xi Ming has never done this kind of thing himself, but he knows that some actors will do it, not only those who are praised by fans Hot-headed up-and-coming Peanuts can do it, as can some established actors.

When playing the role of Li Yu, Ji Yan habitually brought up the habit of filming "The Lost Intention of Murder"—since the character Li Yu had a tragic experience when he was young, Ji Yan thought that he would play the role now. The shadow of Li Yu's existence in the past was performed on Li Yu.

He believes that if you think about it this way, the audience can better understand the role of Li Yu.

But Qu Xiyu only replied with three words: "No need."

What she meant was that there was no description of this aspect in the script, and Ji Yan didn't need to diverge from the characters, as long as he honestly acted out what was already in the script, it was enough.

Ji Yan encountered Waterloo in the first filming of the "Shadow" crew.

However, Qu Xiyu didn't say much, and only asked Ji Yan to clarify the role again: "I hope you can put aside the knowledge you have acquired before, and think about Li Yu's role from Li Yu's perspective."

"Okay." Ji Yan didn't refute, but sat aside with the script, and read it seriously again.

"Drink of water."

Ji Yan raised his head and greeted Xi Ming who was sitting next to him.

There are two lines in the movie "Shadow". One is the righteous side represented by Xi Ming's Gu Chao. At the beginning of the movie, the policeman Gu Chao and Li Yu had cooperated many times. He obtained a lot of key information and solved many cases, but with the appearance of a murder case, Gu Chao's suspicion gradually turned to Li Yu.

The other line is the dark side represented by Li Yu.

The two lines intersect to a certain extent, but in the first filming, the shooting of Ji Yan and Xi Ming is often staggered. After the shooting of Ji Yan's part of this group is over, the filming of Xi Ming's part will also officially start.

While thinking about the role, Ji Yan observed Xi Ming's filming.

If Ji Yan had to use one word to describe Xi Ming's control over the character, Ji Yan could only use the word spicy.The role of Gu Chao has the justice that belongs to the police, but he is not an upright policeman in the traditional sense. He has his own thinking, and sometimes finds a different way. In the team, he is quite unique.

The moment Xi Ming's filming started, the words "character possessed" immediately popped up in Ji Yan's mind.

He felt that he was not exaggerating, because it was.

Ji Yan has seen "One Me". After all, he lost to Xi Ming several times in the awards season, so he naturally wanted to see what kind of movie "One Me" was.

But now he finds that Xi Ming's interpretation of the role of Gu Chao has no connection with the role in "One Me", they are two completely different roles.

This is the strength of Xi Ming.

The other party just stood there, and the flavor of Gu Chao's role was fully displayed.

Ji Yan flipped through the script backwards. In the second half of the script, he and Xi Ming had a lot of rivalry scenes. Watching each other's performance now, Ji Yan couldn't help but think that it's really time for the two to play against each other. Can he handle Xi Ming's scenes?

As an actor who became famous at a young age, I have to say that Xi Ming's performance really surprised Ji Yan.

It's just a simple scene of instructing subordinates to do things. Xi Ming's performance has movements, facial expressions, and eyes.

Ji Yan didn't even read the script, and stood directly behind the monitor, watching Xi Ming's performance.

Seeing Ji Yan's actions, Qu Xiyu didn't say much, and still stared at the monitor with a serious expression, as if each actor present owed her tens of millions.

"I'm in a hurry, Lao Gu, tell me this?"

"What's the rush?" A trace of indifference flashed in Gu Chao's eyes, "He can't escape."

Gu Chao's fingers seemed to flick over the documents on the table casually, but what didn't match his sloppy movements was his sharp eyes at the moment. He searched the documents with his eyes, and his mind flashed through the documents he had already had. Evidence in hand.

Ji Yan recalled the contents of the script. He had memorized Xi Ming's lines, not only the lines after the two played against each other, but also the previous lines. The only thing he can be sure of is that Xi Ming really wrote the lines in the script. The content is fully interpreted.

Word for word.

Qu Xiyu didn't call a timeout, and Xi Ming's performance continued.

Xi Ming's interpretation of this section is very coherent. Ji Yan witnessed him turning a long section of the script into the details of the performance, without stopping at all, almost in one go.

But Qu Xiyu still picked out a problem with Xi Ming's performance, it was just a small detail, but Qu Xiyu didn't perfunctory, she hoped that Xi Ming could improve this part.

Xi Ming nodded in response.

He sat next to Ji Yan again, and while the other actors were filming, the two of them held the script and reviewed the lines while analyzing the details of the characters. Xi Ming told Ji Yan his understanding of Li Yu's role, and Ji Yan Tell Xi Ming what he thinks about Gu Chao.

"Indeed." Xi Mingning said, "Your starting point is different from mine, but it's a good point."

The two opened the script at the same time, and wrote down their perceptions of the characters in the blank space.

Then, Xi Ming looked at Ji Yan and smiled, and Ji Yan couldn't help laughing—the scripts of both of them looked a bit old, and the scripts were densely filled with notes, especially the parts that were mostly dialogues. , Both of them actually brought a notebook with a thick biography of the characters already written on it, and all the parts that couldn't be written in the script were all written in the notebook, but Xi Ming has more experience, and the content he memorized is more organized. Ji Yan's was a little messy.

"Lend me this one first?" Xi Ming asked, "Lend mine to you too."

Although the exchange between the two was not long, they did hear some useful things from each other, which will undoubtedly be more thorough when viewed in conjunction with the script.

In this way, the two exchanged scripts and notebooks, planning to go back and slowly ponder each other's views on the role.

Although Gu Chao and Li Yu are two completely different characters, there are many rivalry scenes between the two in the movie. Ji Yan and Xi Ming will definitely take into account the character of each other's characters when acting, and then cooperate with each other in a targeted manner.

Communication is really necessary.
