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

"Ji Yan, good morning."

"Morning, Brother Xi."

Ji Yan and Xi Ming greeted each other softly.

On this day, the first scene between the two of them started filming. The filming time announced by the crew was 9:8 am, but before [-]:[-] am, Ji Yan and Xi Ming appeared at the filming scene by coincidence.

After breakfast, Ji Yan and Xi Ming discussed the parts that may need to be paid attention to during the play.

Although Ji Yan's experience is not as rich as that of Xi Ming, his understanding is not bad. Once Xi Ming reminded him, he basically understood it. Ji Yan also took advantage of the opportunity of communicating with Xi Ming to steal his teacher like crazy. Anyway, It is a rare opportunity to cooperate with an actor with such rich experience and outstanding acting skills.

"How do you plan to act this part?" Xi Ming circled a part of the script and asked Ji Yan softly.

"It should be that Li Yu is regarded as a complete villain." Ji Yan replied, "Director Qu felt that there was no need to drag things around. After thinking about it myself, it seems that it is indeed the case."

The role of Li Yu is a cold-blooded monster. There is really no need to get to the bottom of this role, otherwise it will make the audience have unnecessary associations.

Qu Xiyu is not the kind of director who hopes that the audience will sympathize with the villain, and the script of "Dark Curtain" has no intention of making Li Yu change his ways.

"Okay, then the two of us will shoot like this." Xi Ming smiled at Ji Yan, "I'm still a little nervous."

After joining the crew of "The Dark Screen", although Ji Yan learned more from Xi Ming, in fact, Xi Ming was also observing him.

To be recognized by the Sky Award, Ji Yan’s strength is beyond doubt—Ji Ming has watched all the three films that Ji Yan has participated in so far, and he can only feel that for some people, the ability to act is almost innate. Ji Yan's performance in "I, Nameless" was still a bit green, but his progress in the later two films "A Love Poetry of a Teenager" and "The Disappearing Murder Intention" can be said to be quite obvious.

Some actors find it difficult to get the hang of it even after filming multiple works, but Ji Yan obviously belongs to the category that can quickly master shooting skills after only a short training.

Even because he is not from a professional background, his interpretation of the role does not have the craftsmanship of a professional, but seems to be natural.

Just like Ji Yan didn't want to be suppressed by the other party in the confrontation with Xi Ming, as a senior actor, Xi Ming also didn't want to lag behind Ji Yan in the confrontation.

He could clearly see Ji Yan's hard work in the "Dark Curtain" crew. Regarding the performance, the other party did not hesitate to do it, but really tried his best to do it.

A few minutes after 8 o'clock, Qu Xiyu also came to the shooting scene.

Ji Yan has never met this female director on official occasions. It is said that Qu Xiyu is very low-key in private, not keen on participating in various activities, and often expresses indifference in the selection of awards, but she Several of the director's films have done well at the box office and have a good reputation. For the directors, it doesn't really matter whether the film wins an award. The important thing is that the film can be sold.

Take "The Lost Intention" as an example, the leading actor Ji Yan won the Best Actor Award at the Sky Award, and the film lost the best director and best picture competitions to "The Wind Breaks the Frontier" and "Towards Dawn". This does not affect Lu Ming's status as the most popular director at the moment. The situation is completely different from before the filming of "The Lost Intention".

Qu Xiyu came in advance to make preparations before the shooting. She greeted Xi Ming and Ji Yan briefly, and asked them: "Is today's shooting okay?"

Ji Yan made an OK gesture, and Xi Ming nodded slightly.

But Qu Xiyu still called the two of them aside, and briefly talked about the general state she wanted.

It's not that Qu Xiyu is worried about the two of them. Ji Yan and Xi Ming are both powerful factions in the industry. Naturally, she doesn't need to worry about their performances. During the few days of filming, Qu Xiyu is very aware of this matter. In terms of comprehension, Xi Ming and Ji Yan's understanding of the characters and the plot occasionally goes beyond the framework Qu Xiyu set for the script.

It's true that the other party did a good job, but like calculating a question, although Ji Yan and Xi Ming were able to get the standard answer in the end, their performance was a bit out of line.

"Okay, let's rest for another quarter of an hour and prepare to shoot."

With Qu Xiyu's order, the crew who were eating steamed stuffed buns and drinking water all stopped, and the other actors who were cooperating with the two also got ready.

In addition to the joining of Xi Ming and Ji Yan, the movie "Shadow" also invited many powerful actors in the industry. Ji Yan played more scenes with Huang Qiuhan, who won the Best Supporting Actor in the Sky Award in the 90s. Yu's number one thug, Xi Ming's righteous side is joined by Kong Fei. The latter has been active in the film industry for a few years, and then temporarily quit for a few years due to health reasons. When he came back, he couldn't find a suitable position. up.

Unlike ordinary Hong Kong action movies, Qu Xiyu’s movies have no emotional scenes, and it has been like this since her first movie, because her movies are either written by herself, or she picked a script, After a thorough overhaul and putting her own stamp on it, Qu Xiyu is not good at writing emotional dramas, she would rather leave out this part, and don't want the fast pace of the film to be affected by emotional dramas.

Rather lack than abuse, this is Qu Xiyu's style.

Therefore, there are very few female characters in Qu Xiyu's movies. Even if there are, they are either heroic policewomen or ruthless villains. Each of them is full of style on the big screen, but often because the characters are too vivid, Qu Xi Yu's movies often attract actresses. After the movie is released, the participating actresses usually attract a lot of fans.

There is a female character Jing Qiong in "Black Screen", she is one of the military advisers of Li Yu's faction, a woman who is as cruel and ruthless as Li Yu.

In other words, in "Shadow", Li Yu and the representatives of Li Yu's faction are all mentally ill, and there are few characters who are slightly more normal.

"Filming begins."

In this scene, Gu Chao, played by Xi Ming, finally finds out that something is wrong with Li Yu. He commits a crime alone and finds Li Yu, but Li Yu waits for him like a rabbit, and the two start a confrontation of brains.

In the script, this is also the foreshadowing of Li Yu's final loss to Gu Chao. If Gu Chao is killed here, the ending will inevitably be rewritten.

Ji Yan's image is also different from the previous few scenes.

In terms of appearance, he hasn't changed much in this scene. The makeup artist also asked Qu Xiyu if he needed to add more shadows to Ji Yan's face to highlight the villain's status. Stop this idea.

Then, without any changes in appearance and shape, Ji Yan needs to directly show the evilness of Li Yu's image.

This is very different from Cheng Yuan in "The Lost Intention of Murder", although he also plays the role representing evil.

Ji Yan took a deep breath, waiting for Qu Xiyu's eyes to indicate.

In this scene, Gu Chao is waiting for Li Yu in the old place, and both sides are well aware of the change of each other's identities.

The light in the bar was dim, handsome men and women danced without passion, Gu Chao lit a cigarette, maybe the lighter was out of gas, Gu Chao tried twice but failed to ignite the cigarette.

At this moment, a figure approached silently, and lit a cigarette beside Gu Chao.

There is only half of Li Yu's profile in the camera, but perhaps because his whole body is in shadow, Li Yu's appearance gives people an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

It is difficult to describe in words the atmosphere that Ji Yan outlined in three or two strokes, but even if his face is not fully revealed at this moment, no one can see his eyes, but the character's dark atmosphere is well captured Rendered out.

Perhaps, the word calm can describe Ji Yan's performance at the moment.

His performance of Li Yu is too down-to-earth and stable, so he can firmly catch Xi Ming's scene, so in terms of aura, there is no feeling that one side is weaker than the other, but there is a sense of evenness.

Even though the shooting scene at this moment is extremely short, the atmosphere is indeed there.

Almost all the actors in the crew of "Black Curtain" are strong, and there are some things that are not taught in textbooks, but years of filming experience have given them a unique understanding of acting.

"Li Yu."

The moment Li Yu appeared on the stage, Gu Chao confirmed his identity, but when he received the cigarette, he didn't panic at all, the smoke was caught between his fingers, and immediately filled the small bar.

"Brother Gu." Li Yu chuckled, and then the camera slowly moved to him, giving him a clear close-up.

At first glance, the face was still the same. Although he was smiling, there was no smile in Li Yu's eyes, like a cold camouflage machine.

"It's you."

The moment Gu Chao's voice fell, Li Yu turned his fingers lightly, and a small-caliber pistol dexterously turned around his fingers, and suddenly it touched Gu Chao's temple: "Brother Gu, don't be so serious, we are also We have cooperated many times, can you let go of my brother's mistakes?"

Li Yu's fingers were very long and slender, not at all like the hands that can wield knives and guns every day, but no matter how relaxed his voice was, the pistol never moved away from Gu Chao's temple.

Gu Chao's expression was also calm, he stretched out his hand, and gently held Li Yu's hand that was pressing on the trigger: "Since you said so, let's have a good chat."

The state of the two is like old friends who can sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk for many years, and they have no intention of putting each other to death.

Li Yu looked at Gu Chao quietly.

Gu Chao also looked at Li Yu quietly at this moment.

The smile on Li Yu's face slowly disappeared, his expression was cold, and his eyes were fixed on Gu Chao like a poisonous snake. At this moment, he shed his loose temperament, and his evil side was infinitely magnified at this moment.

This face is very young, but as the boss behind the scenes, Li Yu's most obvious temperament is the cold feeling around him, it seems that he is an emotionless person, even if he just looks at him at this moment, the people around him will feel scalp tingling feeling.

It's just a simple performance, but a person's temperament can produce such earth-shaking changes.

Qu Xiyu stared at the monitor without saying a word. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Xi Ming and Ji Yan. How should this scene be filmed?They really look forward to it.
