Chapter 52 Yan Li: I especially like your role as Jinsuo

In front of the hotel elevator

Liang Guanhua is a kind person. He got along well with Yan Li. Knowing that Yan Li was a newcomer, he took the initiative to introduce him to the crew and help him integrate into the crew as soon as possible.

"This is Yan Li, also from our crew, playing the role of Song Dian."

After that, he praised the two actresses and said, "I don't need to introduce these two."

Of course, Yan Li didn't need Liang Guanhua to introduce him, as he actually knew the two of them.

Zhang Ting became a big hit in mainland China with the two dramas "The Twin Dragons" and "Love Across Time and Space". She is currently considered a popular young actress in the circle.

Fan Xiaopang, one of the three beauties in "Return of the Condor Heroes", although she is at the bottom of the list, has accumulated considerable fame. In addition, she has developed well in recent years and has a very promising future.

"Hello, teachers."

Yan Li greeted him politely. Usually when meeting someone for the first time and not being very familiar with them, he would just call them teacher.

There is no way, especially when facing such young female artists. Calling them "beautiful MM" seems too frivolous, calling them "sister" or "sister" is not convenient for considering their age, and you don't know if they are willing to do so, and it is difficult to strike a balance between intimacy and distance when calling them by their names.

Someone like Liang Guanhua has age and experience, and can act like a senior, but Yan Li, a young newcomer, can only act like a grandson.

Perhaps because she saw the handsome guy, Zhang Ting became much more lively than when she faced Liang Guanhua, and said with a smile.

"Don't call us teacher, it makes us sound old."

Fan Xiaopang was more formal. He took the initiative to shake hands and said something polite like "It's a pleasure to work with you."

This is probably also related to the fact that Song Dian, played by Yan Li, has a lot of rival scenes with her character.

Yan Li also took the initiative to release friendly words: "I am also very honored. When I first watched "My Fair Princess", I particularly liked your role as Jinsuo."

"Really."

The smile on Fan Xiaopang's pretty face faded slightly.

It was an accidental encounter. After chatting for a few minutes and saying hello, the two girls left. Before Yan Li entered the elevator, he couldn't help but look back at the backs of the two girls as they left, talking and laughing.

Speaking of which, Yan Li felt that he had a strong connection with "My Fair Princess".

I have acted in three dramas in total. I met Qin Lan in Hengdian, and I have also seen the new versions of Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and Xiao Jian. Now I have met Jinsuo in the old version.

However, the real Fan Xiaopang is a little different from the Jinsuo in Yan Li's impression.

In his memory, Jinsuo was a servant girl, a little girl who cried all day long.

Fan Xiaopang has probably grown up now and is much prettier than when she was filming "My Fair Princess".

Her skin was fair and tender, her facial features were delicate and three-dimensional, and her oval face, which was the size of a palm, was pure and bright, which made Yan Li a little surprised.

As for Zhang Ting, forget it, she’s not the type Yan Li likes.

Liang Guanhua noticed Yan Li's eyes and thought that it was a young man who was attracted by the pretty girl, so he laughed and joked.

"Hey, come back to your senses, these two are not easy to chase."

Yan Li burst out laughing when he heard this. He didn't mean anything else. He was just a little surprised by the change in Fan Xiaopang, and admired him out of pure love for beauty.

I still haven't gotten Qin Lan in Beijing, so how can I have the time to hook up with other girls?

However, seeing that Liang Guanhua had misunderstood, Yan Li did not explain, but just smiled foolishly.

"I don't even dare to pursue you. I'm only willing to chat with a teacher like you. Women are too troublesome."

"You can't think like that." Liang Guanhua patted Yan Li and said, "You're a handsome young man, how can you be afraid of girls? I'll teach you a few tricks later, and I guarantee you'll find a girlfriend."

Yan Li declined: "I think being single is pretty good."

"You are still young and don't understand. Once you meet a woman, you will understand. Come, come, I tell you, don't look at me now, think back to the past..."

Liang Guanhua also felt that he had a good relationship with Yan Li. The fact that Yan Li kept calling him "teacher" aroused his desire to be a teacher. He began to teach Yan Li how to pick up girls by using his experiences in his youth.

Yan Li was helpless. He originally wanted to ask Liang Guanhua about acting, but why did he start teaching this?

He doesn’t need to learn this!
...

In the afternoon, Yan Li tried on some makeup.

The character he plays, Song Dian, is the governor of Suzhou during the Yuan Dynasty in the play, so most of his costumes are official uniforms and armor.

At the same time, in order to reflect the Mongolian elements of the Yuan Dynasty, he was given a mink hat which was a bit out of place.

Yan Li accepted it well, mainly because he saw the final makeup photo of the male lead Shen Wansan in the dressing room.

Zhang Weijian's hairstyle, except for the longer extensions at the back and the short bangs in the front, is no different from the modern one. This also made Yan Li directly understand the level of costumes and props in "Cornucopia".

It’s good enough if he is not given a Qing Dynasty official uniform, why does he need a bicycle?

Although the costumes and makeup are average, Yan Li's face and figure are very attractive, and several sets of costumes look good, especially the armor set. He looks tall and handsome. The makeup artist was a little worried for a while, fearing that he would steal the limelight from the protagonist.

Zhang Weijian was also considered handsome when he was young, but now he is focusing on strength and humor, and it is hard for him to stand up to Yan Li.

Finally, Cheng Lidong, who had heard the news, made the final decision: "Song Dian is so handsome, but he can't snatch women from Shen Wansan. Doesn't this further prove the charm of the male protagonist?"

Yan Li gave a thumbs up: "It has to be Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Lidong took some time out in the evening to catch up with Yan Lixiao. When he came back after dinner, it was almost eleven o'clock.

After all, since he had just arrived at the crew, Yan Li was quite concerned about gathering intelligence. He simply took out his script and read it, then waited for today's intelligence update.

In "Cornucopia", Yan Li plays the character named Song Dian, who is an overall tragic villain.

Song Dian was successful at a young age, held a high position and had good looks. However, the girl he loved, Zhao Xue'e, insisted on marrying Shen Wansan, who was a poor boy at the time, and the two of them became enemies from then on.

Later, Song Dian hooked up with the villain Su Bancheng, played by Liang Guanhua, and opposed Shen Wansan in various ways. He also married Su Bancheng's sister Su Liniang.

That’s right, Su Liniang also liked Shen Wansan, and later she went crazy because of her deep love and hatred.

This is also the reason why Yan Li has a relatively low sense of immersion in this role. He has never experienced such a tragic situation.

Song Dian suffered a series of emotional setbacks and his career wasn't going well either!
Because Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Suzhou, Song Dian, who was once a high-ranking official of the Yuan Dynasty and had defected to Zhang Shicheng, was arrested. At the request of Shen Wansan, he was spared at the cost of dismissal from office and broken legs.

When he returned to the Su family, Song Dian was disabled and had no official position, so he was bullied by his wife and brother-in-law. Finally, in remorse and despair, Song Dian had a reconciliation meal with Shen Wansan and jumped into the lake to commit suicide.

This character is actually not likable, but because he repented and committed suicide, he somewhat saved some points in the impression.

Yan Li also chose this role because he was attracted by the final ending and felt that Song Dian had some character layers and was not a purely stereotypical villain.

At present, Yan Li has memorized all the lines related to Song Dian and has also made some analysis and interpretation of the character.

The overall performance was not difficult. The only thing worth mentioning was the suicide scene at the end. Yan Li wanted to use this scene to make the character's image more full-bodied.

After going through the script, thinking about and marking the scenes in recent days, it was already early morning and Yan Li opened the system.

[Daily Intelligence ①: Fan Bingbing was left behind by the other two actresses in "My Fair Princess," and her role as a maid was awkwardly positioned... Therefore, Fan Bingbing has mixed feelings about her iconic character, Jinsuo, and is reluctant to be mentioned. Yan Li accidentally touched on her sore spot, leaving Fan Bingbing with a very neutral impression of Yan Li...]
