Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 103 Waving your hand is not a rejection, it means no need to say more
Or by the river bank.

Liu Xiaoli sat on a chair, with her hands folded across her chest and her legs crossed, watching Qin Chuan and Liu Yifei acting together.

By the way, I also observed the surrounding environment to see if there were any paper balls or anything like that.

"This kid is quite good at choosing places."

This place is remote and deserted, and if something really happens, no one will see it.

Qin Chuan didn't care about Liu Xiaoli's thoughts, he just wanted to finish the scene with Liu Yifei and leave.

So the activity that usually takes two hours was completed in just half an hour today.

"I'm sorry." Before Qin Chuan left, Liu Yifei finally apologized to him.

"fine."

Qin Chuan would not vent his anger on a little girl. If he really wanted to vent his anger on her, it would be Liu Xiaoli.

"Auntie, the phone will be turned on tomorrow, and I won't come here anymore. If you need any help, feel free to call me."

Liu Xiaoli: “…”

No, what does this mean?
What does it mean to call him if you need anything?
What could you possibly need?
The next day, at Hengdian World Studios, the filming started.

As a Hong Kong director, Li Guoli still follows the traditional way, worshiping gods, offering pig heads, setting off firecrackers, and giving out red envelopes.

Qin Chuan felt that he could actually jump directly to the last step of sending the red envelope.

"Brother Chuan, stand over here."

Qin Chuan, who was used to standing at the back, was invited by the staff to the first row this time. He was surrounded by either movie emperor Xie Junhao or veteran actor Xu Jingjiang.

I'm still a little bit uncomfortable with it.

"Come on, I'll count to three, two, one, and let's all shout out "Happy Chinese Paladin" for the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Three, two, one!"

"I wish the filming of The Legend of Sword and Fairy a great start!"

Under the photographer's shutter, everyone's photo is fixed in the frame.

Afterwards, Qin Chuan also received the first startup photo in his life.

I was twenty that year and was in the center of attention.

In the afternoon, the crew officially started filming.

The crew rented a warehouse next to the hotel as a makeup place, and everyone usually does their makeup here.

The same goes for extras. After putting on makeup, they were directly towed to the set by vans or buses.

Unlike extras, the leading actors have to put on makeup in a separate area, which is separated by baffles and covered by curtains outside.

This was the first time Qin Chuan enjoyed an “independent” dressing room.

"Boss, lower your head for a moment."

"Right, that is it."

After several days of training, Wang Tingting felt that her skills had improved and she was more adept at putting on makeup.

With each stroke of her brush, Qin Chuan's face began to change.

The eyebrows are more heroic, the jaw line is more obvious, the nose bridge and the bridge of the nose are higher, and the small acne marks and blemishes on the face are gone.

After putting on the headgear, the appearance is raised to a higher level.

"Boss, you're right, you're really suitable for playing ancient costumes."

Wang Tingting said as she looked at Qin Chuan in the mirror.

Costume dramas use a lot of makeup, which greatly enhances one's appearance. A person with a 70-point appearance can easily become an 80-point person with the help of a headpiece, costume, eyebrow trimming, and makeup.

Qin Chuan has a good foundation, is young, has practiced martial arts for many years, and has a good-looking frame.

One obvious thing is that he doesn't need shoulder pads.

When many male actors put on ancient costumes, their shoulders sag and their clothes fall to the sides.

Qin Chuan is different. He has broad shoulders and can definitely hold it up.

I heard that all martial artists in Peking Opera do this, doing handstands and holding their heads high every day to exercise their arms and shoulders, and their shoulders become broader over time.

Not to mention the specially designed slim-fitting ancient costumes, even the large dragon robes used in opera performances can be worn.

"I can act, but not too much." Qin Chuan touched his forehead and said, "I'm worried that I'll become a Mediterranean after middle age."

"I feel like my hair has been falling out a bit fast lately."

Once the hood is put on, there is glue and alcohol, who can withstand it?

Wang Tingting said: "You haven't filmed any costume dramas recently. Could it be caused by smoking, drinking, staying up late, foot massage, and eating barbecue?"

"is it?"

"Be confident, that is."

“Looks like I need to eat less barbecue.”

Qin Chuan didn't mention anything about smoking, drinking, staying up late, and foot massage.

After finishing their makeup and hair, Qin Chuan and Wang Tingting went out. A seven-seater SUV was already waiting for them.

As the leading male role, it is standard to be picked up and dropped off by a special car.

Soon, we arrived at the shooting site.

A peach blossom forest.

They are all artificial peach blossoms, made of plastic.

Originally the crew wanted to use real ones, but the timing didn’t work. The peach blossoms won’t bloom until February or March next year, so it’s too late.

After getting off the car, Qin Chuan took off his down jacket and gave his cell phone to Wang Tingting for safekeeping.

The weather is a bit cold today, and most of the crew members have started to keep warm in early winter.

Qin Chuan, wearing a thin costume, went to the director's studio to report to Li Guoli.

"You two have been in private contact for several days, so this scene shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"No problem, Director Li. We've checked it several times."

As they were talking, Li Guoli waved and called Liu Yifei over to discuss the play together.

Unlike the pink costumes in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Liu Yifei's costumes in this drama are more diverse in color.

Mainly green.

It highlights the character's playfulness and youthfulness, as well as the "skin" color that matches the Mother Earth, the descendants of Nuwa.

"When we act later, I need Ling'er to be a little bit cute, youthful and energetic, and not too pretentious. Just act out the personality that belongs to your age."

"In your heart, Li Xiaoyao is your lifesaver from ten years ago. You two have known each other for a long time, so you will show your girlish gentleness, cuteness, and defenselessness in front of him."

"Don't be as cold and smart as Wang Yuyan, the character you played before."

Wang Yuyan and Zhao Linger are two extremes.

Li Guoli was also a little afraid that Liu Yifei would copy his previous role again, which would be a complete failure.

Liu Yifei said confidently: "Okay director, I understand."

Qin Chuan had already taught her during the acting process.

Liberate your nature and free yourself.

You don't have to act hard, just express the emotions that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl should have.

"Qin Chuan, you too..." Li Guoli was just about to explain the play to Qin Chuan when he turned his head and saw the boy with his hands folded in front of his chest, staring at him with clear eyes and a smile on his lips.

Isn't this Li Xiaoyao's style? "No, Xiao Qin, the filming hasn't started yet, you don't have to get into the role."

"I'm used to it. Once I put on this outfit, I automatically get into the role." Even Qin Chuan's tone of voice and shaking head gesture are the same as Li Xiaoyao's.

Young man, it's hard to be a leader if you do this. Li Guoli waved his hand: "There's nothing more to say. Go get ready and start shooting right away."

Ten minutes later, the peach blossom forest.

Everyone is ready.

"Scene eight, shot four, action!"

The stage manager used a board to cover Liu Yifei's face, patted him once, and quickly left.

Liu Yifei continued.

"Brother Xiaoyao, don't you remember me? I'm Ling'er."

These were the lyrics the two of them had rehearsed a few days ago. Liu Yifei is now very familiar with it. His expression, state, and body language were all trained by Qin Chuan.

"Ah, should we get to know each other?"

"Yes, I did. Ten years ago, I..."

It took less than five minutes to shoot this scene, and then we changed the camera position to shoot it again. The two times combined did not exceed fifteen minutes.

It went incredibly smoothly.

"Come on, prepare for the next one."

For traditional Hong Kong directors, the first scene is very important. If the first scene goes smoothly, the rest will also go smoothly.

Qin Chuan and Liu Yifei made a good start, and Li Guoli was very happy.

However, compared to the first scene, the second scene is a little more difficult.

In the lotus pond, Liu Yifei took a bath.

In November, the weather had already turned cold, and we couldn’t use hot water in the lotus pond, as the heavy fog affected our photography.

Even if Li Guoli could be used, he would not be used.

Liu Yifei's status is not high enough to warrant using hot water, so it's not worth his time.

Just like wearing a tube top dress, Liu Yifei simply wrapped a few layers of plastic wrap around her body, put on a chest-length jacket, and went into the water.

But you still have to be shirtless above the chest.

I shivered as soon as I went down.

"How do you feel? Can you hold on?" Li Guoli asked on the shore.

Liu Yifei gritted his teeth and said, "No problem, it's okay."

She knew that the role of female lead was hard to come by, and she couldn't give up after finally getting the role. Even though it was very cold, she still had to persevere.

At the side, Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter soaking in the water and felt so distressed.

"Put your shoulders in too." Qin Chuan reminded, "Submerge your neck so you can get used to the water temperature. It will stop being cold in a few seconds."

Anyone who has swum in winter knows how cold it is when you first get into the water.

The human body can automatically adjust its body temperature to adapt to the surrounding environment.

Liu Xiaoli gritted her teeth and wanted to kick Qin Chuan into the water to help him adapt to the water temperature.

"Wow."

Before Sister Li made any move, Liu Yifei squatted down, letting the water cover his neck.

Shaking even more.

But after a dozen seconds, the feeling gradually disappeared and she adapted to the temperature of the water.

"Director, I can do it."

"Okay, hide in front of the lotus and let the lotus cover you. Then turn around and show your face so that the flowers can set off your face."

"By the way, show your back, but not too much. And keep your hands busy, do some water-playing moves."

Every scene of every play has long been imprinted in Li Guoli's mind, so he can talk about the play with ease.

"Qin Chuan, when you peek later, don't look too lustful. I want the curiosity, excitement, longing, and ignorance of boys in adolescence towards girls' bodies."

Li Guoli's requirement for Liu Yifei was to show his face and back.

Coming to Qinchuan is twice as difficult. You have to voyeur, but you can't be lascivious. You also have to be curious, excited, longing, and ignorant.

If it were someone else, he would have started cursing, but Qin Chuan just waved his hand.

Li Guoli frowned: "Did you not understand or can't do it?"

His requirements were indeed a bit high, but this was the effect that this scene wanted. If Qin Chuan didn't understand, he could explain it in more detail.

If you can't do it, it's really useless.

Qin Chuan: "No need to say more."

Li Guoli: “…”

Okay, okay, now it’s my turn to show off.

"You better perform the effect I want later."

Two minutes later, the second scene began shooting.

Li Xiaoyao came to Xianling Island and accidentally saw someone taking a bath in the lotus pond, so he hid behind a rock and watched secretly.

"She's so beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful girl before."

Qin Chuan stood on tiptoe, leaned forward, raised his chin, with a smile on his face, and said while staring at the figure in the water in a daze.

Director Li Guoli immediately directed the camera through the intercom: "Close-up of Qin Chuan's eyes. Yes, that's it. Very good. Keep it up."

Leaning back in the chair, Li Guoli was in a very good mood. He didn't expect that Qin Chuan would capture the emotion he wanted in just one go.

The scene where an adolescent boy peeks at a girl taking a bath should be censored in comics and novels.

But the feeling Qin Chuan portrayed was not erotic.

Instead, you feel curiosity and appreciation, but you can also feel the rising male hormones on his face and in his tone.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

There were many people watching the show, including Xu Jingjiang, who had a smile on his face at the moment.

It was a pity that he had no pen in his hand, otherwise he would have been able to draw Qin Chuan's expression.

This kind of scene of a young boy in puberty, but with a sense of propriety, is something he rarely encounters in normal times.

The name has been thought of, Teenager Peeping Picture.

"Who's there? Who are you and how did you get here!" It was Liu Yifei's turn to speak. She simply glanced back, and she was more beautiful than a lotus.

He really makes a living by his looks.

This was the first thought of everyone present.

A good-looking face conceals Liu Yifei's lack of acting skills.

On the other hand, Qin Chuan is a real talent for acting.

He turned his head away and squatted on the ground, not daring to look again, feeling ashamed and flustered: "I, I, I came here to ask for medicine, but I accidentally entered the fairy sister's bath, please forgive me."

"Turn around, don't peek... My grandma said that anyone who peeks at girls bathing is a pervert. I'll beat you to death!"

Zhao Linger pulled up her pants and turned her face away, ready to start fighting.

Fortunately, I recognized Li Xiaoyao at the critical moment.
