After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 158

Although everyone is more inclined to the former two possibilities, the latter possibility cannot be ruled out.

In fact, it was a bit unexpected for Li Mingji to choose "Bodyguard", a drama that does not seem to be the current mainstream.

At present, "Bodyguard" is still in post-production after it is finished.

Director Zhang didn't let Li Mingji participate in the dubbing, probably because he wanted to find another voice actor.

Although Li Mingji's voice is not bad and he can speak his lines clearly, he is still not professional enough, so there is nothing wrong with hiring a voice actor.

Although this will definitely cause controversy in the future, saying that "lines are also part of acting", since Li Mingji was chosen to play the leading role, he must bear these things, not to mention that the focus of controversy is also Li Mingji himself.

So sometimes it is very cost-effective to invite Xiao Xianrou. If the filming is good, it is the credit of the screenwriter, director and veteran actors.

In short, the high salary invites not only an actor, but also a tool person, a backer.

It's just that both sides have their own benefits, so being scolded can only be said to be what they deserve.

Li Mingji can only hope that when this drama comes out, some people will take a look at him. After all, with his current ability, he can really say that he has tried his best.

And now, he will try his best to shoot the next work.

However, during this period of time, in order to maintain the popularity of the show, the crew of "Bodyguard" has been releasing some materials until the official broadcast.

For example, Li Mingji was injured and suffered a lot in order to shoot action scenes. He even slept very little every day in order to rush to shoot, and insisted on playing when he had a cold and a fever.

Although it is good to listen to some of these words, it is not false propaganda, but exaggerated.

Of course, no one would believe this except the fans, but those still photos are real after all, even if they are pretending, it makes people wonder why Li Mingji behaved like this.

Just to arouse fans' distress?

There is no need for this, after all, he can have a group of fans feel distressed on the trending search with a broken finger, so why do he go around in such a big circle.

In this way, the possibility that seemed to be the most improbable has become possible in the eyes of these outsiders.

As for "Dragon Born 2", due to Wu Jing's good confidentiality, although some falsehoods were still revealed by the outside world, it is not clear whether Li Mingji really played a role in it or had any cooperation.

With the "bodyguard" in front, Li Mingji's performance this time naturally attracted more attention.

After all, martial arts dramas are different from Nao Shizi's fairy tale dramas. Let's not talk about the problem of Diao Wei Ya. Let's just say that there are not so many green screens and cutouts. There will be more scenes that need to be performed in person, and there must be swords and other props, swords and guns. Without eyes, this fight is harder to hold back than fists and kicks.

So will the news of "Li Mingji's injury" hit the trending searches soon?
The astute reporter had already begun to think about how to write about it and drafted it first, but the on-site press conference started with director Lu Xing's opening remarks.

However, after the introduction of the main actors, the reporters started to bombard Li Mingji again without waiting for a few questions.

Li Mingji is already used to such a scene, and with the help of the master of ceremonies, it can be said that he can handle it with ease.

After all, the questions asked by the reporters did not bring out any new ideas, as usual, they were the ones from the past.

Sometimes I would ask some off-site topics, but this is a new drama launch after all, so I quickly pulled it back.

As for the information about the new drama, there is not much that can be leaked, and they don't want to ask any nutritious questions when they know very little about it.

To put it bluntly, it is a repeat of the previous launch conference.

It's just that this press conference has completely become Li Mingji's personal show, which is even more exaggerated than the previous "Bodyguard" crew.

At that time, there were at least Weng Chenxi and Qin Yi, a new heroine who appeared suddenly, which attracted the attention of other reporters. The combined strength is not enough for Li Mingji to "fight".

The only one who can still get some traffic is Lin Siyi, but because of her low profile, she still can't compare with Li Mingji in terms of news topicality.

Especially when she was asked a question, she would always answer very briefly, with a "I'm done" expression on her face, which made the reporters dull after a few moments.

As expected, Li Ming is still very good...

This press conference was undoubtedly on the hot search, and the topics about Li Mingji's new drama, Li Mingji's witty remarks, and tongue-in-cheek chats at the press conference also aroused extensive and heated discussions.

Obviously, Li Mingji's way of dealing with reporters has been talked about by many people since he didn't know when it started.

You say he does Tai Chi, and he is answering questions seriously, but you say he answers questions, but in the end there is not much substantive content.

However, some jokes have been widely used in various forums, and Li Mingji is about to become a new generation of golden sentence masters on the Internet.

This kind of interview is far from the explosion and violent news that the reporters expected, but it cannot be said that there is no traffic, because fans like to watch it, and they think it is a clever and humorous performance of their idols.

Passers-by also like it, who doesn't like people who are witty and can tell jokes?

In fact, Li Mingji just likes and is good at saying some small and witty things. This may be a personal talent, and sometimes it will relieve his tension.

Don't be surprised, although Li Mingji's heart is big enough, he has only achieved a certain degree of habit in the face of reporters' long guns and short guns. To fully adapt and get used to it, he may have to wait another six months to a year—after all, he Serious press conferences don't go through a lot.

And to say some witty words, on the one hand, he can relax himself, and on the other hand, he can ease the atmosphere. In a relatively friendly atmosphere, he can also relax.

Moreover, he often surfed the Internet in his previous life, and he has already reached the point where the popular jokes and jokes on the Internet are at his fingertips. Those things that have been played badly on the Internet in the previous life can be brought up again in this different world. There is a fad.

Although there are some words that do not have specific occasions, the effect of saying them will be much weaker, but because of his different identities, sometimes the words he uttered will be read for comprehension, and in the end they will be misinterpreted and turned into another meaning and another meaning. Kind of a joke.

It is hard to believe that in the past few months, Li Mingji has created memes on the Internet because of his remarks, even longer than he has in the past two years.

However, after a rather harmonious press conference, he had to enter the intense filming work, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the wave he set off on the Internet.

In fact, although the crew has been set up at this time, the staff and actors are in place, and agreements have been signed, but in fact, except for the hotel where everyone lives together, the crew has not officially rented any place in the film and television city.

So even the launch conference was held at a stage outside the hotel.

Fortunately, the weather was good this day, neither hot nor gloomy, just right.

This is something that can’t be helped. After all, if those venues are really going to be rented, the money has to be counted every day. Before the actors have not yet been decided, shooting is impossible. If you don’t use it for a while, it’s a waste.

However, the production team must have communicated with the film and television city in advance, and in fact must have signed an agreement. After all, the scenes and equipment in the film and television city are used repeatedly. When one production team is finished, take a break and then another production team quickly catches up.

So when the agreed time comes, the crew will naturally be able to move in.

Of course, sometimes there will be some unexpected situations. Maybe the last crew did not perform the contract on time. In this case, additional coordination is required.

Fortunately, they weren't that unlucky. The last crew was only delayed for a day, and after re-counting, cleaning and tidying up, the crew officially settled in this area.

This is a building complex imitating an ancient town, and it is also part of the scene where the story mainly takes place.

In addition to the main roles of the three brothers, it also includes the roles of the heroine and villains.

Although these stories actually took place in different places, most of them pass by in a flash on the outside, and the audience will not study it carefully. For indoor scenes, it is enough to fix a few main locations.

This is also to save costs. After all, the cost of renting a venue alone is not a lot, but if there are many places and a long time, it is not a small amount.

Although it is an ancient costume, there are not many changes in the setting of the crew. Generally speaking, there are three main places, one is here, and the other is going to the grassland, which is also the scene of the final decisive battle.

And the last one is to go to the palace complex on the other side of the film and television city, which is used as the "imperial palace".

But the main venue is here, and the reason why Lu Xing chose this place is because there is a "moat" next to it, and then find a room facing the river to be the heroine's room, and it will be convenient to "jump into the river" at that time.

At the beginning of the film, the identity of the protagonist and his background must be quickly explained, so that the audience can get into the drama as quickly as possible.

This is actually a bit like those action blockbusters in Europe and the United States. The opening chapter is often fascinating with an action scene, interspersed with the background, personality, relationship, etc. of the protagonist.

There is a similar principle in the so-called golden chapters in online articles. If the opening chapter is not attractive, you can't expect everyone to have such good patience and read it slowly to get the feeling.

In the filming, this was also chosen by the director as the opening scene, with the same purpose, in order to let the actors get into the state as soon as possible.

Whether it's Li Mingji or the other two, the brotherhood of the three brothers and their respective personalities will be shown in this scene.

The audience may not be able to observe so carefully when watching, and may not reflect it at the first time, but they may come back to it slowly later.

There is no action scene here yet, it is the daily life of the three protagonists, which is relatively simple.

The three brothers all live in the same alley, and they all have the status of Jinyiwei, and they go to "work" together every morning.

Through the words and deeds of the three people, briefly list the background of the three people:
The eldest brother has an old mother in his family, and there is also the legacy left by his father, hoping to make further progress in his official career.

Because his father once held the position of Baihu, he also hoped to be able to achieve the position of Baihu. However, because he was an honest man and did not know how to please his boss, and at the same time he did not have the money to flatter himself, so although he worked hard and accomplished a lot, he was never promoted. .

The second brother, who is also the protagonist, is regarded as a Buddhist in terms of official career, but there is a woman he likes in the brothel, that is, the heroine, who is now raising money to help her redeem herself.

The third younger brother looks the most innocent and doesn't have much trouble, but he also has a woman in his heart.

And secretly he also has troubles, that is, his senior brother, because of his secret, has been using this as a threat to get money from him. On the one hand, he is unbearable, and on the other hand, because of his growing appetite, he Gradually I couldn't satisfy him, so I was always absent-minded.

The three of them each have their own ideas and needs, as well as their own difficulties and predicaments, so they naturally fall into the eyes of the villain, the eunuch Zhao Zhongyi, and he has a comprehensive plan to use them to do things for him...

At the beginning of this story, the events and the relationship between the characters have been clearly explained, and the tone has also been set.

This will not be a very happy drama. Although there will definitely be a refreshing revenge later, the main line is generally depressing.

"Wait a minute, let's do it again, when the camera comes over there, slow down a bit..."

This scene will be shot from four directions: the front, the side, the back, and the top. Lu Xing's request is to make it as lifelike as possible.

Although he will definitely go commercial in order to make money, he still retains the heart to tell stories well and construct the background world, so he also hopes to use the lens to show the style of that era.

Although this section is just a scene of three brothers walking, in the surrounding environment, some neighborhood life performances are used to show the characteristics of the times at that time.

For example, peddlers wandering and yelling, children chasing and playing, officials passing by in sedan chairs, and Zhao Zhongyi who was secretly observing them.

Generally speaking, this is not difficult for many actors including Li Mingji, but it is a challenge for the director, because many actors have to be dispatched at the same time for the first scene.

Originally I wanted to use a long shot to describe it directly, but in the end, under the influence of the group performers, I had to split it into several shots, just to show it from multiple angles, and then the background of the times presented on the big screen will also be different. More intuitive.

The three protagonists are undoubtedly small people. Although the name Jin Yiwei is frightening, they are also wage earners. The problems they encounter are actually problems that many people may encounter in reality. It is still very immersive. .

"OK, transfer to the next game!"
