This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!
Chapter 41, Not Flavorful Enough
Filming for "The Best in Heaven and Earth" has officially begun.
Mr. Li received an extra 1000 yuan in red envelopes.
In fact, even the White Dragon King of Thailand and the masters of Taiwan do not charge too much money for incense offerings for their rituals. In their words, it would be immoral to charge too much money directly for performing the rituals.
Of course, the "resource exchange" afterwards is not immoral; it reflects the pilgrims' sincere devotion to the Tao.
Wang Jing lifted the red cloth and turned on the camera.
Three storylines, three main characters, attacking from three different angles, acting on three different fronts.
"I hope our 'The Best in Heaven and Earth' can truly become our year's dark horse in ratings."
With a shout from Wang Jing, filming officially began.
.....
The cameras were turned on, filming began, and everything proceeded at a rapid pace.
Read the lines aloud together.
At this moment, Li Qing was reciting his lines.
First, we filmed the individual subplots, and then we filmed the main plot that combines the three storylines.
The person next to Li Qing is Shangguan Haitang.
Dressed in a white gentleman's robe, he exuded a heroic spirit. If one did not know that the actor was a woman, one might really mistake him for a handsome boy.
Gui Haiyi's feelings for Shangguan Haitang.
It's unrequited love, it's admiration.
It is a love that is deeply hidden from childhood to adulthood and never fades away.
"One stab, you really don't need to..."
"We're partners, aren't we?"
"Is it really that simple?"
Li Qing remained silent.
Ye Xuan'er continued, "I know that you suffered internal injuries after shielding me from Cao Zhengchun's Heavenly Gang Yuan Qi, and I also know that you gave me the only Seven-Colored Purple Vine that can heal internal injuries..."
At this moment, Li Qing remained silent, utterly silent...
Then there is no more then.
"Click."
"No, no, no, Guihai Yidao, you're not in character," assistant director Jiang Yue said, shaking her head.
"Feel sorry."
Li Qing also apologized.
Indeed, he didn't get into character.
One could vaguely sense the madness he had developed after cultivating the Demon Blade.
And his 'love' for Shangguan Haitang.
He can act, but he can't get into character as quickly as he did when he played Yin Zhiping last time.
Yin Zhiping was the founder of Taoism, and Li Qing had known about his personality for a long time.
Adding one's own understanding and the identity of a true Taoist priest, it's easy to get into character.
He really benefited from playing the aloof and powerful minister Yin Zhiping last time.
But this time, Guihai Yidao is different.
I always felt that even if they forced themselves to continue acting, it would still feel like they were only scratching the surface.
It doesn't taste right.
Some shots, even the assistant director's, didn't quite feel right.
Jiang Yue paused for a moment and then said, "Let's film other scenes first. You can rest and think about the script before we talk about anything else."
But inwardly I was shaking my head.
For someone just starting out, this "Guihai Yidao" has already done a very good job, even better than some of the most popular leading actors on Hunan TV.
But this drama, "The Best in Heaven and Earth," is not like the idol dramas on Hunan TV; simply having a charming smile, a domineering smile, or a cold, arrogant smile isn't enough...
The roles here require the skill of a true "actor" to portray.
Li Qing still had a headache by evening; Ng had come a lot more times today.
Li Qing watched their performance and felt boundless admiration.
Whether it's Ye Xuan'er, who is slightly older than me, or the other supporting actors, their acting skills, movements, and expressions are all better.
It was filmed better and more professionally than most of the supporting roles in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
The main cast of this drama consists of TVB actors, and many of the supporting roles are played by top TVB actors.
I heard that TVB actors don't get any rest; they just film, film, film all year round.
It's true that she was exploited by the contract and didn't get much, and her acting skills honed through hard work are also genuine...
Compared to them, Li Qing felt like a complete newbie who was dragging everyone down.
At this moment, Ye Xuan'er came to Li Qing, who was drinking goji berry water, and said something.
"There's no need to feel so pressured. Actually, your performance was quite good."
Perhaps her initial expectations were too low. Actually, Ye Xuan'er felt that Li Qing's performance today was alright. Although it wasn't great, it was at least within the scope of an actor.
It was definitely a performance.
"Thank you." Li Qing sincerely thanked Ye Xuan'er for her comfort.
"It's nothing, just an objective evaluation."
Ye Xuan'er smiled and said, "Actually, you have a real talent for expressing emotions; your micro-expressions are excellent."
"It's just that the performance is too obvious."
This is what is commonly referred to as overexertion.
"I don't really want to either," Li Qing said, somewhat amused and exasperated. "It's just that, how should I put it... I feel that Gui Hai Yi Dao's image is too vague."
"Oh, you're an experiential learner."
Ye Xuan'er suddenly realized.
That's the nature of the experiential learning approach: it's slow to get into character and slow to get out of character.
If you get into character and become one with the role, your performance will be outstanding and you'll have a significant advantage.
But... on the contrary, if one cannot become one with the character.
That would be a huge loss.
"Experiential learners should be careful about their mental health," Ye Xuan'er kindly reminded her.
"There's absolutely no problem with that," Li Qing smiled confidently. "To have a clear understanding of one's own heart and to see oneself clearly is what we Daoists do."
Even though I couldn't understand it, it seemed really impressive.
Ye Xuan'er thought for a moment and then said.
"Well... that's settled then. I'll tell you a method; a senior colleague once told me about it."
"You have a biographical sketch of the person, right?"
"some."
Li Qing always carried the biographical sketch of Gui Hai Yi Dao with him.
This is the script provided by the production team.
The above provides a basic introduction to Guihai Yidao, his personality, and the events he experiences in the story.
Ye Xuan'er glanced at the script and then spoke.
"Take this script apart, write it yourself, change the perspective from 'Guihai Yidao' to 'I', and then list it out in a timeline."
"Think about it, not 'Guihai Yidao,' but what kind of person 'I' would become, what kind of personality 'I' would have if I had gone through these things..."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
It seems... that is indeed a possible solution.
"Thank you very much, Sister Xuan'er," Li Qing said gratefully.
Ye Xuan'er simply said it calmly.
"It's okay, this is something a senior taught me. I may not be able to use it, but you, who are more experiential, might be able to give it a try."
"No need to thank me too much. I'm your leading lady, after all. If you act well, my role as your co-star will also be more outstanding."
"Keep it up!"
At this moment, Shangguan Haitang was dressed in men's clothing, holding a folding fan in his hand, smiling gracefully, looking every bit the dashing young master.
Open and honest.
