This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

"I wonder what kind of sound engineer their poor, clueless production team could possibly hire." Zhang Jiawen shook his head with a chuckle.

The sound supervisor for "Lost in Beiping" was a musician from Tehran named Peyman-Yazdanian.

How prestigious is it?

Well, Zhang Jiawen didn't know either. In short, it was a very expensive and high-class foreign pianist who composed the music.

Western composers will provide the music for us.

Is it even that bad?

It's important to know that music is also a crucial component of art films.

Music can better enhance the emotions and climaxes of the plot, making the entire film more perfect and smooth.

This is one of the biggest differences between being rich and not being rich.

Compared to that, he even felt a little sorry for the people at Ocean Heaven.

That would waste several months.

But for some reason, thinking about this made him want to laugh.

I can't laugh, absolutely not. As a professional actor, how can I let myself lose control of my emotions?

"Hahahahaha!"

But I really couldn't help it.

Zhang Jiawen smiled happily.

.....

The crew of "Poor Brothers" still held a start-up banquet the day before filming began, at a small food stall on Qingji Island.

Of course, it wasn't that Xue Lu was stingy; after all, the seafood at this small food stall wasn't cheap.

The restaurant was small but exquisite, and the seafood was indeed very fresh and sweet. Li Qing ate three big bowls with tears in her eyes, without holding back at all.

"Director Xue, you don't seem surprised by my appetite." Li Qing suddenly asked an adorable question.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't ask such questions, okay? You're going to ruin my image of Ximen Chuixue," Gao Yuanyuan complained. She was also a fan of martial arts novels, a fan of Cha Liangyong and Gu Long.

Especially Gu Long, whose masters always have a unique charm, such as Chu Liuxiang, Ximen Chuixue, Jian Shisan, and Ye Gucheng.

"Our lead actor eats quite a lot too," Xue Lu said with a smile. "I heard that you and he both practice martial arts, and you both have a large appetite. I heard that the more skilled you are, the more you eat."

Xue Lu thought to herself, "Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie can eat five big bowls in one meal."

Li Qing nodded and looked at the bowl in his hand.

Forget it, I'll just eat three big bowls and be half full. I still need to maintain some decorum!

At this moment, Gao Yuanyuan, who was peeling shrimp shells, spoke.

"I feel like something's missing because our main star isn't here."

"He went to Taiwan to visit friends. It's alright. We can do a script reading first, so everyone can get to know each other and find a feel for the play."

Xue Lu looks gentle and weak, but her words carry an undeniable sense of strength.

He seems to be a director who demands a lot from everyone.

...

Qingji Island Ocean Park is where the movie "Ocean Heaven" was filmed.

The lead actors haven't arrived yet, and the crew of "Poor Guys" hasn't officially started filming, but they can still do some pre-rehearsals like reading lines together.

Every take involves costs, and too many takes are also bad, especially for a low-budget production crew.

At this time, everyone was getting familiar with their roles in their own places. Li Qing came to the telephone booth in the aquarium, accompanied by a pretty young woman.

Li Qing was the first to extend her hand in greeting.

"Hello, my name is Li Qing."

"Hello, I'm Gui Mei. Please guide me from now on."

Gui Mei has a somewhat androgynous, cool and approachable look. She might not seem particularly beautiful at first glance, but the kind of person you find quite pleasant to look at after a while.

She plays a role opposite Li Qing in this film, which is considered an important female character. She was genuinely attracted by Li Lianjie's name. She has starred in many supporting roles in art films and is considered a familiar face in the genre. Her acting skills are quite good for a young actor.

Gui Mei looked Li Qing up and down and smiled.

"Seeing you like this, I just can't seem to connect with the character of Daifu."

Gui Mei may seem to be criticizing Li Qing, but that's not actually the case.

Gui Mei's first impression of Li Qing was that she had a cool and aloof feeling when she wasn't speaking, but she was kind of cute when she spoke.

It was difficult for me to immerse myself in the scene with Dafu.

The role of Dafu requires a lot of acting skills and a good image; if someone is too good-looking, it's easy for the audience to overlook their actual appearance...

"It's okay, I'll go put on some makeup in a bit."

With that, Li Qing jogged off to put on makeup.

This is Li Qing's secret weapon, a little trick taught to him by Jiang Chenggang: to make his face appear flawed through makeup.

It became even more chaotic.

After coming out, Gui Mei exclaimed in admiration.

"Yeah, I feel much better now."

Makeup can really change how a person feels.

Li Qing looks a bit dull-witted now.

This makes it more immersive.

In the drama, Li Qing's character "Dafu" is in love with Gui Mei's character "Lingling".

The withdrawn and naive Dafu's feelings for Lingling are different from Lingling's feelings for him.

It's all joy, it's all love.

But Lingling's feelings for Dafu were more of care and pity.

You need to portray that feeling.

"From now on, this call will be from Lingling, okay?"

Gui Mei looked at Li Qing, picked up the phone from the phone booth, and put it to Da Fu's ear.

Dafu pouted, looking at Lingling with somewhat timid eyes.

I want to secretly watch Lingling.

The look in his eyes was filled with a feeling, timid and somewhat hazy.

He kept scratching his left upper arm with his fingers.

Looking at Li Qing, Lingling gradually found her footing as well.

"You need to answer the phone, you know?"

Lingling held Li Qing's hand, but there was no 'kindness' in her eyes.

Is that a mother's feeling for her son? Or a sister's feeling for her brother?

In conclusion, Gui Mei performed with considerable professionalism.

Li Qing was somewhat impressed; Gui Mei, who seemed gentle, was even faster than Li Qing in finding her footing.

"You get into character so quickly!"

"Practice makes perfect; you'll get the hang of it after playing these kinds of roles a lot."

She's a method actress, so she doesn't need to get too immersed in her roles.

She only needed to know how to act out such a role, and then she would act accordingly.

There is an upper limit, but compared to the experience-based approach, it doesn't quite grasp the subtle changes.

Although both are ruthless swordsmen, Ximen Chuixue and Guihai Yidao are different.

In most cases, method actors are actually more likely to try out a wider range of acting styles...

"But, it still feels a little strange..."

Gui Mei's gaze began to move upwards, her eyes showing a hint of eagerness.

Li Qing was startled when she felt her gaze...

Then...

Then he understood, he said helplessly.

"That's acceptable."

"Then I'll do it myself; my skills are pretty good."

"All right..."

Gui Mei was staring at Li Qing's hair.

Ugh, it's driving me crazy.
