Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 104: No Madness, No Life, Certification from the Movie King

"Click, pass!"

Director Li Guoli's voice was heard at the scene, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step was to reshoot the scene where Qin Chuan peeked at Zhao Linger taking a bath.

Liu Yifei still has to get involved.

Fortunately, it was just a reshoot, and Liu Yifei didn't need to do anything. Just put on some makeup, play in the water, and make some splashes.

It only took about ten minutes to get it done.

As soon as Liu Yifei came ashore wet, Liu Xiaoli immediately wrapped her with the bath towel that she had prepared in advance to prevent her from exposing herself.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Qin Chuan approaching.

After glaring at the boy, he walked away in shame.

When Liu Xiaoli went to get some hot water, Qin Chuan said to Liu Yifei, "Are you okay?"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "No problem, just think of it as a cold shower."

"Take a shower when you get home. We don't know what kind of bacteria there is in this lotus pond."

The lotus grows out of the mud but remains unstained. The ground is full of all kinds of mud, rotten tree roots, and a lot of bacteria, making it unclean.

Unlike the small rivers and streams in the countryside, the water is flowing all the time and is much clearer and more hygienic.

"Yes, I'll remember that."

Qin Chuan saw Liu Xiaoli coming from afar and retreated without saying a word.

Liu Yifei finished his scenes this morning, and he still has several more to come.

Inside the studio.

Under a large green cloth, Qin Chuan performed without props, paddling on the boat.

This is the plot where Li Xiaoyao encounters a storm while going out to sea.

The crew did not have the conditions to shoot at sea, so they could only use special effects in post-production, and the actors were the ones who had to work the hardest.

Qin Chuan was paddling while twisting and turning. This was at the request of director Li Guoli. In a storm, people would always be blown all over the place.

It was already noon when we finished shooting this scene.

The crew had dinner.

Qin Chuan finally had the main meal.

Three dishes and one soup, with extra chicken legs.

After being busy for the whole morning, Qin Chuan was exhausted and ate with big mouthfuls, not caring about his image at all.

Wang Tingting said: "Boss, this is your first main meal, you can't finish it, you have to leave some, it means there will be more in the future."

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes at her: "Do you think I haven't seen Prison on Fire? Young people don't believe in these things."

When a prisoner completes his sentence, he must finish his last meal before being released and there is no turning back.

It means that once you finish eating, it’s gone and there’s no going back.

On the contrary, if there are leftovers, you will have to eat them later.

Qin Chuan is on a film set, not in jail, so why would he resort to such crooked means?

Ten minutes later, Qin Chuan was full and ready to go back to the hotel for a nap and come back in the afternoon.

There were a few slices of vegetables and half a bowl of soup left on the plate.

After returning to the hotel, Qin Chuan left his costumes in the dressing room, except for his hairstyle.

This thing is troublesome. You need to use alcohol to remove makeup, and glue to put makeup on. The hairline is a bit unbearable.

After a good hour's sleep, Qin Chuan started working in high spirits in the afternoon.

Hengdian Film and Television Base.

The scene at the inn was filmed in the afternoon.

Li Xiaoyao woke up from his dream and met a few people from the Moon Worship Sect who were staying there for the night. In fact, they had other purposes.

They poisoned his aunt and made her unconscious. In order to save her, Li Xiaoyao had to go to Xianling Island.

They secretly followed Li Xiaoyao to the island.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing the inn scenes, the crew did not call it a day, but replaced them with another group of staff to prepare for the martial arts filming.

During dinner time, Qin Chuan saw the movie emperor Xie Junhao.

The two of them ate at the same table.

Qin Chuan joked: "Teacher Xie, why do I feel that you look more like the protagonist than me?"

A handsome face of a middle-aged man, with long gray hair that looks a little weathered, tied on top of his head with a unique curved hairpin.

There are a few dragon whiskers scattered on the forehead and temples.

He also carried a sword behind him.

At this moment, Xie Junhao looked like he was drinking wine when he drank soup, unrestrained, wanton and uninhibited.

The dress is secondary, the main thing is the temperament, the melancholy uncle type, if this happened a dozen years later, it would be crazy.

Xie Junhao wiped his mouth and smiled charmingly: "I'm old, not as handsome as you."

He was born in 1963 and is 40 years old this year.

Qin Chuan is only twenty years old.

People who reach middle age understand that youth is capital and cannot be compared.

Qin Chuan retorted: "As the saying goes, men are like wine, the older they get, the better they taste."

Xie Junhao laughed: "Old man smell?"

For some reason, Qin Chuan suddenly thought of Su Daqiang and couldn't help laughing.

The old man and the young boy were laughing so hard that they couldn't stop. The people around them didn't know what was going on and just felt confused.

"Teacher Xie, do we need to check the manuscripts first?"

After laughing, Qin Chuan asked.

The two of them have two scenes tonight. One is that the Drunken Swordsman descends from the sky and helps kill a few minions of the Moon Worshiping Cult.

One scene is at Shilipo, where Li Xiaoyao is taught the art of swordsmanship.

Xie Junhao shook his head: "I noticed that you didn't read the script for a few scenes today, which means you are very familiar with the lines, which is not right."

"Our roles are different. My role has a slower tempo overall, while yours is a bit faster. When the time comes, you play your part and I play mine. We won't compromise with each other."

"If I make any sudden moves during the performance, just ignore me and continue acting, unless the director calls cut."

An old actor is an old actor. Qin Chuan could tell from Xie Junhao’s words that he not only studied his own role, but also Li Xiaoyao’s.

Qin Chuan had heard of this practice from some memories of later generations.

Some great actors not only memorize their own lines, but also their opponent's lines, so that when they act, they know their opponent's mentality and state and can respond accordingly.

But Qin Chuan has never seen any of them in real life.

I'm not sure whether Xie Junhao remembered his lyrics.

In the evening, night is falling.

In Yuhang Town, Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, and Aunt Li were hunted down by members of the Moon Worship Cult.

After Qin Chuan finished his part, Xie Junhao's performance also began.

A sword fell from the sky and exploded.

A figure followed closely behind and fell.

"Hahahahaha!"

A sword and a pot of wine, this is the Drunken Swordsman.

With the help of wire work, Xie Junhao, holding a wine in one hand and a sword in the other, started the first martial arts scene of the play.

To be honest, the sword technique is very simple and not very difficult.

The people of Lavia are not considered master chefs.

But Xie Junhao's Drunken Swordsman is so cool, optimistic and unfathomable.

After defeating the Moon Worshipers in a few moves, he raised his head and took a sip of wine.

Behind the monitor, Li Guoli's mouth was almost crooked with laughter.

He invited Xie Junhao, who was the highest paid person in the whole drama, but you get what you pay for, and it can only be said that the money was not wasted.

He completely portrayed the feeling of the Drunken Swordsman that he wanted. The best actor is worthy of being the best actor.

The camera turned, and Qin Chuan quickly walked up to him, bowed and nodded, and said with a flattering face: "Master, this is so cool, why didn't you teach me this move?"

Xie Junhao didn't even look at him, shaking his wine gourd and said, "I did it on purpose, or else you can ask me."

"Hehehe, I beg you, I beg you."

When Qin Chuan and Xie Junhao started acting against each other, it was obvious that their characters had different styles: one was fast and the other was slow.

Li Xiaoyao is quick-tempered, unscrupulous, without any moral principles, and speaks in a fawning manner, like a little gangster.

Xie Junhao is slow. He takes a sip of wine before speaking his lines and may take two seconds to speak before he starts talking.

Normally, in this kind of drama, one party will always be led astray.

Qin Chuan and Xie Junhao were not affected at all, and they did not act on their own without caring about each other's life or death.

Instead, both of them are in the play and the atmosphere is not broken.

One fast and one slow, blending very well.

"Click, pass!"

After all the lines were spoken, Li Guoli reluctantly called out "cut".

On the set, everyone looked at Qin Chuan a little differently.

This kid has something.

Xie Junhao is a movie emperor. It's not easy for him to act opposite this actor without losing any of his aura.

While the two were acting together, Liu Yifei could only watch nervously from the side.

I really hope that in the future I can be as calm and composed as Qin Chuan and perform freely in front of the best actor.

The next step is to change the camera position and take more photos.

After working for another half an hour, everyone seized the time to continue filming the next scene.

When the Drunken Swordsman first met Li Xiaoyao, he chased him and wanted to teach him kung fu, thinking he was a drunkard. Li Xiaoyao was both disgusted and refused.

He also said that if he regretted it, he should call him grandpa.

The next second, the Drunken Swordsman flew away, and Li Xiaoyao chased after him, shouting "Grandpa".

Run all the way to Shilipo outside the city.

"Grandpa, I want to learn martial arts from you."

"Look, I'll teach you once, just once."

Li Xiaoyao in this scene is different from the previous ones. He is completely like a gangster, which is very funny.

But Qin Chuan continued to perform stably without any mistakes, and even stole the limelight from Xie Junhao in several scenes.

At around 11pm, the crew finished work.

Xie Junhao glanced at Qin Chuan and said, "It's time to get off work, why are you still in the mood?"

Qin Chuan said: "Master, you can see all this?"

"That's nonsense. Normal people play different roles. The way you sit, stand and walk now is very much a character's personality."

Not only now, Xie Junhao discovered in the afternoon that Qin Chuan was acting even when he was eating.

Although he tried his best to change, small actions like shaking his legs and laughing from time to time still exposed his contrast.

If there was only a little bit of role color in the afternoon, then now that the filming had just finished, Qin Chuan was completely immersed in the role and did not come out of it at all.

This was the first time Xie Junhao had seen such a situation.

I've heard of people having difficulty getting into a role, and I've also heard of people having difficulty getting out of a role.

But their difficulty in getting out of the role is more of a psychological problem, and the character remains after the filming is completed.

For example, when filming, you have 100% of the role, but after wrapping up, there is only 45% left.

Qin Chuan was fine, he had finished work and was still the same as when he was filming.

Fortunately, he was not playing the emperor, otherwise he would have his hands behind his back and kept calling “I” all the time.

Qin Chuan explained: "I'm used to it. I get into the role quickly and leave it slowly."

In order to perform well in the evening scene, he gained some experience in his dream at noon.

Now Li Xiaoyao's name has been engraved in his bones.

"Hiss!" Xie Junhao sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked at him as if he were a freak. He entered the role quickly and exited it slowly. What kind of genius was he?

No wonder the acting is so good.

"It's good to get into a role quickly, but it's not good to get out of it slowly. If you do it for a long time, you will break down mentally and spiritually. You'd better find a balance and control it."

"In the acting industry, every year there are actors both at home and abroad who become too absorbed in their acting and cannot get out of it, leading to depression, and in serious cases, even committing suicide."

Qin Chuan's heart tightened: "Not really."

Xie Junhao said seriously: "You are acting in a costume drama now, and you are a hero, so of course you won't have this feeling."

"But what if you play a vicious and perverted murderer?"

"What if I play a poor guy whose wife and children are separated and whose whole family is gone?"

"What if your wife cheats on you, your child is not yours, and you're a wimp who takes away all your money?"

Qin Chuan's heart sank. What Xie Junhao said made sense. It would be good for him to take on some positive roles.

If it is a psychopathic and deformed character, you will be affected even more.

If he really was an unforgivable murderer, would he have stabbed a few more people when he was emotionally upset?
"Teacher Xie, is there any good way to get people out of the show faster?"

"Yes, first, don't take on roles too often, take a break for at least a year or two in between, and second, develop hobbies."

"It's better to do something that is different from the character. For example, in this movie, you are in ancient costume. After get off work, you can play more games, surf the Internet more, sing, dance, go to the supermarket, and do other things that modern people do when you have nothing to do."

Xie Junhao looked at Qin Chuan and said, "There is another way to get out of the show the fastest."

Qin Chuan quickly asked: "What method?"

He has tried surfing the Internet, singing, smoking, drinking, and foot massage. They are useful, but limited.

It takes a long time to offset the negative effects of the character.

If there is a faster shortcut, of course he would want to take it.

As for taking a long rest, he can't do it because his career is on the rise and he can't take time off.

"Dating." Xie Junhao laughed, "Science has proven that being in love secretes a lot of dopamine."

"After get off work, chatting with my girlfriend, shopping, watching movies, and imagining the future together is definitely more interesting than immersing yourself in a role."

"If you get married and have children, it will be even better. At that time, acting will be a job for you, and your wife and children will come first."

"After filming, you don't have time to be sentimental. You just want to spend time with your wife and play with your kids."

Qin Chuan tilted his head in a daze, still thinking about these words in his mind. They did make sense.

Although foot massage is very comfortable, you will inevitably get tired of it after a long time.

There are only a few things that can stir emotions.

Falling in love is a good option.

On the set, Liu Xiaoli was talking to Liu Yifei. Suddenly, she saw Qin Chuan staring at her out of the corner of her eye.

"What does this kid want to do?"

She frowned and glared back.

Qin Chuan also saw Liu Xiaoli's gaze and felt a little amused. How could he have provoked this person when they were so far apart and he didn't say a word?

But you know what, although Sister Li is a little older, she still has her charm.

He looked him up and down again.

Liu Xiaoli gritted her teeth and wanted to punch the boy.

"You can't live without madness. You are a genius, but genius is only madness."

Xie Junhao's words brought Qin Chuan back to his senses.

"Whether you are a genius or a madman is up to you."

There is only one step between genius and madness. Qin Chuan is still young. If he can pass this test, he will definitely have a place in the future film industry.

Qin Chuan stroked his hair in a showy manner and said cheerfully, "Are you an acting genius? I guess this is my certification as the best actor!"

Xie Junhao smiled and said nothing.
