Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 12: The young man is strong, so please be considerate

Yan Li, who was not aware of Qin Lan's situation, hurried back to the crew of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" to put on makeup and start filming.

His scenes today mainly revolve around the afternoon and evening.

We originally expected it to be finished around 9pm, but it was almost 12am and we still hadn't finished filming.

Delayed finishing of work is very normal for the crew.

It is impossible for every day of filming to go smoothly. Sometimes the actors had to make too many NGs, the set was slow, there were some mistakes in the costumes and props, and even the venue and transportation were not coordinated well.

In short, if the work is delayed due to various problems, the completion time will be postponed. The more problems there are, the longer the delay will be.

This was not the first time Yan Li had encountered this. He relaxed his anxiety and fatigue, maintained his condition, and continued to shoot as he should.

The scene shot in the evening was the one where the heroine Li Rongrong assassinated Yang Guang. Yan Li did not appear much. The first part was about the love-hate relationship between Yang Guang and Li Rongrong. He only came out to rescue the emperor and capture the people at the critical moment.

So, while other actors finished work early, Yan Li waited until the end.

According to the plot, the heroine Li Rongrong is a great beauty with superb musical skills. When Yang Guang was still the crown prince, he coveted her and asked her father for marriage, but was rejected. Yang Guang was so angry that he framed her and killed her father's family.

Li Rongrong was lucky enough to survive and lived among the people. Later, she met Qin Qiong and Wang Bodang, and fell in love with Qin Qiong.

Because of the blood feud of her family, Li Rongrong was determined to kill Yang Guang and originally placed her hopes on Qin Qiong.

As a result, Li Yuanba of Siming Mountain killed all the eighteen rebel kings. This sister was eager for revenge, so she slapped her forehead and asked Wang Bodang to build a mechanical piano, and she went to kill Yang Guang herself.

In fact, the overall revenge plan of the heroine Li Rongrong is quite good. She uses the pseudonym Qin Rong and bribes the palace maid. Yang Guang is lustful and greedy for flowers, and she is both a master of the zither and a beauty, so it is easy for her to be introduced to Yang Guang.

Because she looks like Li Rongrong back then, and what cannot be obtained is the best, Yang Guang is very interested in her and is even bewitched by her to listen to her music alone.

However, Yang Guang was one step behind. Concubine Xiao, who was by his side, was not a pushover either. She realized that something was wrong with this woman and went to report to Yu Wenzhi.

Yu Wenzhi was very cunning and guessed Li Rongrong's true identity. He immediately sent Yu Wenchengdu to protect him.

Originally, Li Rongrong was playing the piano to prepare for the event, and she was also trying to reduce Yang Guang's vigilance. However, when Yuwen Chengdu broke in, she realized that she was exposed and took decisive action.

As a result, the hidden arrow was blocked by Yuwen Chengdu using a soldier, who then smashed the zither into pieces and grabbed his neck with one hand.

"Who are you and why did you assassinate the emperor?"

After that, Yan Li had no other lines except the last sentence "take away". He just kept holding Li Rongrong's neck with one hand, and occasionally increased the strength as Yang Guang talked to her.

Before filming began, Yan Li specifically sought out Tong Lei, who played the female lead, to rehearse scenes with her.

This woman is about the same age as him and is said to be still studying drama. Since they have never acted opposite each other before, Yan Li has hardly had any contact with her.

However, this time, strangling her neck was considered a physical scene, and it was a critical part, so Yan Li specifically talked to her to avoid using too much force and hurting her.

"I apply a little force and you react. Can you try this strength?"

Tong Lei is young and seems to be gentle and shy. She nodded immediately when Yan Li spoke.

"Brother, it's okay, don't worry, I will cooperate with you."

Yan Li tried it out. Tong Lei's neck was not very thin, but his hands were big and he could easily wrap his arms around her. He simply determined the specific strength and then put his hands down.

The girl also knew that Yan Li was doing this for her own good, and she was quite polite: "Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome."

Yan Li was used to it. He didn't look old, but he didn't look young either. He looked a little older than his age, and his personality was relatively stable, so he didn't look like a man in his early twenties.

Qin Lan had always assumed he was around 25 or 26, so the crew often mistook him for someone else. Many of the younger actors and staff, due to their age or status, simply called him "brother." Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, Yan Li remained silent. After all, calling him "brother" was better than "little brother."

After filming started, Yan Li mainly focused on facial expressions and movements, which was not difficult. However, he felt a little pressure when acting opposite Tong Lei and Tse Kwan-ho, and had to do two NGs, but overall it went smoothly.

After filming this segment, we finally called it a day. Many people who had scenes the next day quickly lined up to remove their makeup and go back to rest.

Yan Li had no filming tomorrow, so he was not in a hurry. He asked the photographer for a cigarette and walked slowly to the dressing room.

On the way, it was 12 o'clock in the morning. The daily intelligence was refreshed on time. Yan Li didn't sleep, so he checked it directly.

...

[Daily Intelligence ②: Qin Lan's suitor is Huang Xiaoming, a 96-year-old graduate of the Beijing Film Academy's Acting Department, Class of 24. He is 1.73 meters tall and weighs... He has appeared in TV series such as "Diary of a Networm," "The Emperor of Han Dynasty," and "My Fair Princess 3." His career prospects are highly regarded by the industry.]

Huang Xiaoming?
Yan Li had an impression of this name, but not because he had seen the other person in any drama or something, but because of two of Huang Xiaoming's classmates.

Zhao Yanzi and Chen Kun!

The former of these two became famous for "My Fair Princess" and "Romance in the Rain", and the latter also became well-known for his role in "Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind" directed by Zhao Baogang.

With the help of these two girls, the class of 96 of Beijing Film Academy also attracted a certain amount of attention. Among the rest of this group of classmates, Huang has developed quite well.

Yan Li entered the Beijing Film Academy in 2000, and the class of 96 had already graduated.

Unexpectedly, because of Qin Lan, I had an unexpected encounter with this senior.

However, Yan Li didn't take this matter to heart.

What's wrong with the senior? He's acting like a scoundrel, so he has to take action. It's not the first time he has beaten the senior.

Do you think it’s easy to be the ex-boyfriend of the campus beauty of Beijing Film Academy?
There were many seniors who had been eyeing Dong Xuan, this little cabbage. The few who were out of line were dealt with by Yan Li and his brothers.

The one who left a deep impression on me was a second-generation star named Du from Class 99. Yan Li broke into the other person's dormitory to block him, and was later given a serious punishment for this.

[Daily Intelligence ④: Ex-girlfriend Dong Xuan could no longer tolerate Yan Li's long-term non-contact. She swore to her best friend Guan Yue that if Yan Li didn't call her again, she would break up with him completely and not linger any more.]

Yan Li: “…”

I haven't paid attention to her for more than half a month. It's really a bit too much. How about I find time to reply to her tomorrow?
Well, I can’t reply directly. If I do, it will be too much trouble. I should reply to Guan Yue and show my concern for her indirectly. Guan Yue will definitely inform her.

[Daily Intelligence ⑥: Qin Lan, who was sleeping in the hotel at the moment, was having an erotic dream. The object of the dream was Yan Li. In the dream, the two...]

"Cough cough..."

Yan Li was choked by the cigarette in his mouth and felt a little confused. He didn't understand what was wrong with this girl. How could she have a wet dream while eating?
So the restaurant owner didn’t add anything to the dishes, right?

[Daily Intelligence ⑧: Wang Decai, deputy director of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties," recommended Yan Li to the producer, director, and assistant director he knew, praising him highly and asking if there were any roles suitable for Yan Li.]

Yan Li clapped his hands and said, "Okay, the 3000 yuan red envelope was not given in vain. Lao Wang really does his job."

I'll take him to have a barbecue later and give him some praise. Maybe before the filming is finished, Lao Wang can help me get the next film contract.

[Daily Intelligence ⑩]: A honey trap ring has recently emerged in Hengdian, targeting men through sexual harassment and then extortion. Please remain vigilant. (Note: Their initial bait often consists of small cards placed in various hotels in Hengdian.)

Tsk, why are you telling me this?
Yan Li said with disdain, but when he passed by the trash can in the dressing room, he honestly took out his wallet and threw a colorful small card into it.
The young man is in his prime, strong and energetic, and his passion is extraordinary.

Being alone every night, it’s inevitable that I’ll be curious sometimes, which is understandable…
