Before the script reading began, Qin Xi and Di Shen had an in-depth discussion. Qin Xi almost talked about his entire ancestry, so you can imagine how talkative Di Shen is.

Of course, Qin Xi also knew Di Shen inside out. Di Shen was 29 years old this year. He had poor grades in high school, but he had good physical fitness. He served in the army for two years after graduation.

I was discouraged by some highly educated technical soldiers in the military camp. In Di Shen's words, "Why can they be promoted to non-commissioned officers right after graduation, but I can only be a private? Why? Sister, tell me, why?"

After retiring, Di Shen felt that a higher education was still more popular, so he decided to learn from his mistakes and take a bachelor's degree. However, his professional course results were so poor that he finally chose to take the art exam.

Di Shen was a complete blank slate during the interview, but with his handsome face and perfect body, he was spotted by the teachers of Beijing Film School at first sight. They thought Di Shen was the scarcest type in today's entertainment industry - a tough guy!

Indeed, his appearance brought him many opportunities. He started out by starring in a drama directed by Xie Feng. The drama was a huge hit that year and won numerous awards. Di Shen was also nominated for the Honghu Award for Best Actor for this drama. Although he was still a little green at the time and could not compete with the veteran actors, he became famous in the industry. (The Honghu Award is one of the most prestigious awards in the domestic TV drama industry.)

It has to be said that Di Shen is quite talented and has been very successful in the drama circle. In the past few years, he was once again nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Honghu Awards. Unfortunately, he lost to the same veteran actor again.

After reading the script of "Lone Eagle" and working with Director Xie, Di Shen saw hope again. He resolutely took the job just to win another award.

In just a few minutes, Qin Xi learned about Di Shen's wonderful life experience over the past 29 years.

The amount of information was so huge that Qin Xi didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only admire from the bottom of his heart, "Brother, you are so inspiring!"

Di Shen waved his hand and said, "Sister, you are not bad. You are so young and you have received many big plays. Your future is limitless!"

Qin Xi and Di Shen's conversation gradually turned into one of mutual flattery, which was eventually interrupted by Director Xie, who slammed the table.

But this in-depth exchange also brought back some forgotten memories for Qin Xi. If Qin Xi remembered correctly, Di Shen performed very well in "Lone Eagle", and many people in the industry predicted that Di Shen would definitely win the Honghu Award.

It’s a pity that he was runner-up again and lost to the veteran actor for the third time.

Yes, it was the same person three times.

I have to say that Di Shen's luck in winning awards is really bad. Every time he was nominated, the competition was extremely fierce. He lost three times in a row. At that time, many media outlets mocked Di Shen.

Some even said, "The veteran actor who wins the Best Actor award has always been Di Shen's nemesis!" "Di Shen is not destined to win the Best Actor award", etc.

But Di Shen is an indomitable person. Although he is not lucky in winning awards, he has a good character and reputation, and he has never lacked dramas to shoot.

A few years later, when he was nominated for the fourth time, perhaps the TV festival judges couldn't stand it anymore and finally he won the Best Actor award.

At the award ceremony, Di Shen was a tough guy but also a tender-hearted man, shedding tears. The scene was very dramatic and was reported by countless media outlets at the time.

How could Qin Xi forget such interesting news in the circle?

Looking at Di Shen again, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. This big brother's hopes were destined to be disappointed this time.

But it doesn't matter, life is like this, when you think there is no way out, you will find a way out. Who would have thought that a few years later, when Di Shen himself was in despair, the Best Actor trophy would fly into Di Shen's arms.

-

Qin Xi never expected that the first scene she filmed after joining the crew would be an emotional scene in which she learned that her brother Xiang Xinghe died in the war and his body was nowhere to be found.

It is also one of Xiang Xingran’s few important scenes.

Qin Xi and Shu Yang, the actor who played Xiang Xinghe, had only met each other a few times. Qin Xi thought about him but couldn't even feel anything.

But Qin Xi had made sufficient preparations for this scene several months in advance. Every day, she put herself into the role of Xiang Xingran writing letters to her brother who was away on the battlefield, missing him with all her heart.

She also collected a lot of classic movies related to the death of loved ones, and watched how those old artists expressed their emotions, which gave Qin Xi a lot of inspiration.

Qin Xi knew that Director Chen Wanqing was very emotional and had great experience in directing emotional scenes. She even called Director Chen for advice and received a lot of constructive suggestions.

Practice in front of the camera every day, record all possible emotions, observe yourself in the camera, and see which emotion is the most natural and sincere. How to smoothly switch between several emotions.

From the time she received the script to the time she started filming, Qin Xi did not miss a single day of practice.

Now it is finally time to test the results. Although it comes a little suddenly, Qin Xi is already a little impatient.

Just as Qin Xi was about to build up her emotions, Director Xie interrupted her with a megaphone, "Qin Xi, throw away all those crappy skills you learned in the costume dramas before! You can't cover your mouth, your facial features can't fly around, and you can't open your mouth and howl to the sky!"

"You can't rely on emotions either. It's meaningless to rely on emotions to get into the role. Then you're just playing yourself!"

"What I want is Xiang Xingran's expression, completely Xiang Xingran, do you understand?"

Although Director Xie's words were all good advice, Qin Xi now wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She said these words with a loudspeaker in front of so many people in the crew, completely showing that she did not believe in herself!

Qin Xi's popularity rose immediately. Even though I come from costume dramas, not all costume dramas are bad, there are also many classics! Qin Xi has never touched these common performances.

Qin Xi secretly made up her mind: since you look down on me so much, I must act until I impress you!

"Action!"

"Xingran, Xinghe led 10 planes in the air battle against the Japanese army, and fought against more than 100 Japanese planes. He shot down several Japanese planes. In order to cover his comrades, he was unfortunately bombed by Japanese planes and his plane crashed. Xinghe died heroically and did not leave a suicide note..."

When Xiang Xingran heard the news, she stood there in a daze for a few seconds, her face full of disbelief. She didn't dare to believe it, and couldn't believe it, that her brother, who had been communicating with her a few days ago, was gone like this, without even a word or a body left behind.

Then came the collapse of accepting the reality. She felt helpless and wanted to vent. She looked dazed and her eyes were wandering. She wanted to shout, but no sound came out.

What followed was grief and helplessness. She had lost the person who loved her unconditionally forever. Even if she was unruly and unreasonable, she always had her brother to support her. But now she was alone, and she didn't know what to do in the future. Only at this moment did she really cry heartbreakingly.

Finally, she turned to forbearance and restraint. She collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, but she tried to calm herself down. Her brother was gone, and her sister-in-law would definitely not be able to accept it. What's more, her sister-in-law was pregnant. She had to protect this family for her brother...

"Card!"

Qin Xi's four emotions progressed layer by layer, and the transitions were smooth without any trace of performance. As a dancer, Qin Xi is very good at expressing emotions with her body. She slumped on the ground, sadness and despair running through her whole body, and even touched the audience's soul...

Even Director Xie couldn't help but stand up and applaud Qin Xi. This was an unrepeatable movie-level performance. It can't even be called a performance, it expressed the heart and soul of the character!

Director Xie thought to himself, I was right, Qin Xi has a natural sense of drama!
