Huayu: Traffic is king

Chapter 105 "Xiao Jingyi": With this perseverance, you will succeed in everything you do
Since joining the crew, Gu Jingyi started shooting from the first shot of the male lead.

"According to the law, my son Xufeng needs 49 days to achieve Nirvana. Tonight the period ends. Lord Liaoyuan, please help him to complete it."

The Queen appeared in the main palace that day and summoned the hero Xu Feng's right-hand man, Liao Yuanjun, and said this to set the scene. The director also moved the camera closer to Gu Jingyi, who was playing Xu Feng's Nirvana without a real person, deep in the green screen.

His eyes grew more determined as the heat rose, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. As time passed, the wing pattern on Gu Jingyi's back became clearer.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked ahead with confidence. Several cameras were filming, capturing this change in his expression as the initial shot of Xu Feng's rebirth.

The phoenix wing pattern on Gu Jingyi's back suddenly became hot, and he raised his head to look at the sky.

"Cut!"

Director Zhu Ruibin called a stop and Gu Jingyi walked out from the green screen.

"Jingyi, this part is fine."

He studied the scene in the camera and nodded.

"it is good"

The next part was the special effects team's job. They had to create a special effect. The wing patterns behind Gu Jingyi unfolded to create phoenix wings. He transformed into a phoenix, bursting through the roof and soaring into the sky.

While in the sky, an arrow took advantage of the weakened spiritual power of the Phoenix Rebirth, and the dazzling Phoenix was struck. It fell backwards, failing its Rebirth, and fell from the heavens to the flower realm. A large crater was created in the flower realm, and it was picked up by the heroine Jin Mi.

Xu Feng's rebirth failed and he turned into a burnt black bird. Jin Mi mistook it for a crow. She picked it up and tried to eat it, but her companions stopped her and asked her to rescue it.

Jin Mi buried the "crow" in the soil, watered it, and tossed it around. Later, seeing that the "crow's" breath was getting worse, she fed it with nectar she had brewed herself.

This is also one of the talents of the Daughter of the Flower Goddess, and the prepared nectar is effective.

After Xu Feng drank it, his spiritual power improved. He was picked up by Jin Mi and thrown onto the bed, while Jin Mi went to find tools to make bird soup.

"Little crow, I'm going to make soup out of you~"

Yang Zi, who played Jin Mi, walked in with daggers and screamed in fright when she saw the figure of Xu Feng on the bed.

"Ah, little crow. How did you get so big? How can I stew it in this pot?"

I have to say that Yang Zi's acting is quite good, although her face has been adjusted to look a bit technological. However, her every frown and smile is still quite accurate and very vivid.

A look of regret appeared on her face, regretting that she had not stewed it while it was still in its crow form to replenish her spiritual power.

"This must be a monster. It can actually transform into a human form." Yang Zi moved closer to Gu Jingyi and circled around him carefully.

Gu Jingyi, whose Nirvana failed, looked rather dusty in his human form, and his all-black clothes looked dull. But he was still handsome, even the charcoal grey painted on his face amazed Cheng Feng, the executive director responsible for the storyboard.

Gu Jingyi closed his eyes and could hear Yang Zi's movements. The sound of her footsteps and her breath became clearer as she got closer.

"I heard that all spirits, monsters, and beasts have inner cores, and all their abilities are concentrated in them. If I eat your inner core, would it be like eating the whole crow?"

Yang Zi looked up at the sky and quickly thought of this method.

"Little Grape, you are so smart," she squinted her eyes and shook her head complacently.

"Cut, try again from a different angle"

Executive director Cheng Feng called a halt, changed the direction and asked Yang Zi to do it again.

The interior of the bedroom of "Grape Fairy" Jin Mi is small, and there is not enough space for too many cameras.

The crew could not use multiple cameras to capture the actors' facial expressions like before, so they could only stop after taking one shot and start shooting another.

The focus of this scene falls on Yang Zi, who needs to portray Jin Mi's innocent and naive character. This requires filming from various angles and choosing the best angle to edit in.

Gu Jingyi is like a "sleeping beauty" in this scene, and he is not awakened until Jin Mi, played by Yang Zi, throws a dagger at him.

Don’t think that Gu Jingyi made money just by lying down. It is also very tiring to lie in bed for a long time without a pillow to maintain this posture.

When the executive director called for a break, Gu Jingyi stood up swiftly.

He glanced at Yang Zi and felt inexplicably frightened. In the next scene, Xu Feng, played by Gu Jingyi, mistakenly believed that the "inner elixir" was below, and he was about to be stabbed by Jin Mi with a dagger.

Even if the crew's daggers were not sharpened at all and had undergone certain protective treatments, it would still be scary, okay?
Gu Jingyi is even more satisfied with Dior than his handsome face. He has always been known as "Jugai".

Even the live shots of the "Idol Producer" stage have a "lower body" version shot by fans specifically for the sake of being sexy.

[Well, there are more than 100 sisters watching with me.]
[Jingyi, the hardware is so superior...]
[Gu Jingyi is the chosen husband, the male protagonist of Jinjiang's Fugitive]
There are so many similar comments, maybe this is one of the reasons why Gu Jingyi has so many dreams about girls.

"Gu Jingyi, are you afraid later?"

Noticing that Gu Jingyi was staring at the dagger in her hand, Yang Zi smiled and deliberately played with it in her hand, teasing Gu Jingyi and deliberately watching his reaction.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Gu Jingyi suddenly became a little nervous.

"Sister Yang Zi, please pay attention later. Let's try to get one of us through, okay?"

Gu Jingyi looked at the prop dagger and the corners of his mouth twitched.

If he had known he was going to film this segment today, he would have worn a few more pairs of underwear before going out...

"Jingyi, you don't believe in your sister Zi's acting skills?"

Yang Zi laughed heartily. Of course, she didn't care. Even if there were a few more, she wouldn't feel any psychological burden.

But Gu Jingyi, who played Xu Feng, had to lie on a small bed without a pillow while she looked at him everywhere.

He threw the dagger again, and a cold light flashed before Xu Feng's eyes. He moved his body upwards and dodged the attack.

Yang Zi only needs to be cute in this scene with a flick of her wrist.

Gu Jingyi had to endure the "Cut" in front of her and the long waiting process before throwing the dagger. When throwing the dagger, he moved his body online after hearing the off-field prompt sound.

Torture, too much torture.

Just like the "cutting bungee jumping" that became very popular later on, it is a pure test of your mentality.

"Sister Zi, you're not a man, so you won't understand. This isn't a question of whether or not you believe in your acting skills. It's a matter of lifelong happiness."

As a man himself, the executive director could certainly understand Gu Jingyi's worries.

"Actually, Jingyi, if you're really worried, we can shoot this part separately. First, shoot Zimei throwing the dagger. During this part, she controls her strength and doesn't throw it towards you. I'll only shoot the dagger in the air and pause after shooting. Then have the props team insert the dagger into you about a centimeter or two below you and cut to a close-up."

"Ashes of Love" is a big production, so the quality of the team members is naturally good.

The executive director actually thought of a little trick for Gu Jingyi, which sounded quite feasible.

"No, I'd regret it if I really filmed it like that."

Although Gu Jingyi was somewhat tempted to implement the director's suggestion, he still held back for the sake of a more complete plot.

The dagger provided by the props team on the set wasn't sharpened at all. It was even blunted, so even if it was accidentally touched, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Gu Jingyi observed the location and made a rough estimate. He and Yang Zi were not far apart during the filming, so the danger should not be that great.

The executive director looked at Gu Jingyi with admiration, "Jingyi, you are this! You are truly a man among men, a masculine among masculine men."

He gave Gu Jingyi a thumbs up, expressing his admiration.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

As the command sounded, Gu Jingyi lay on the bed again to shoot.

Gu Jingyi was lying on the prop bed, and Yang Zi searched him thoroughly.

The search method was also very simple, just touching everywhere. When she withdrew, she glanced at Gu Jingyi's lower body and said curiously: "Strange, why does he look completely different from me here?"

Yang Zi frowned, watching with some curiosity. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, "I know, this is the inner elixir. It will definitely help me increase my spiritual power, hehe."

She rolled her eyes and looked quite mischievous.

"Hey!"

The next second, the dagger was really thrown.

Gu Jingyi's eyes flashed coldly, "Who is it?"

Although he had lost his spiritual power, his body's reaction speed was still there, and he suddenly dodged upwards.

The next second, a dagger was stuck in the wooden board under his lower body.

Gu Jingyi looked at the dagger below with great surprise, feeling a little confused and a little scared due to excessive surprise.

This is probably every man's nightmare. Just looking at it makes me feel a phantom pain.

Gu Jingyi was breathing heavily and was still a little scared.

He was about to break. He was sleeping soundly in the last second, and the next second, a knife flew straight towards Xiao Jingyi.

Yang Zi was also standing behind the door curtain, looking at him with some guilt.

Gu Jingyi was still looking around when he immediately noticed Yang Zi's sneaky behavior.

He looked at her with a cold face and without any emotion.

Yang Zi also picked up a branch and walked over bravely.

"Dao... Daoist friend, are you awake?"

She looked a little embarrassed and guilty.

Soon, the camera gave a close-up to Gu Jingyi.

He looked over very seriously, and although he was in trouble, he still carried the pressure of a superior.

"Who is this little demon?"

Yang Zi was startled by his look and took a few steps back. He pointed with a branch in his hand, "I'm not a little demon!"

She felt a little guilty, but still kept her back straight.

The executive director cut to a close-up shot. "Since you're awake, you can call me your benefactor. I do good deeds without leaving a name. Even though I'm just a fruit spirit..."

I have to say that Yang Zi is worthy of being the best actress among the 90s flowers. Her acting is indeed quite natural. When she was lying, her eyes were a little erratic and she didn't dare to look into Gu Jingyi's eyes.

But he still pretended to be calm and finished filming the scene.

"Cut! Thank you for your hard work. I'll stop here for today."

When this scene was finished, Executive Director Cheng Feng looked at the picture from the camera and nodded in satisfaction.

Today's shooting task also ended here, Gu Jingyi nodded and just walked out of the camera.

Cheng Feng smiled and patted his shoulder, "Jingyi, you have this perseverance and you will succeed in everything you do in the future."

Gu Jingyi laughed a little. The scene where Yang Zi threw the dagger was retaken five times.

He was a little scared every time, but fortunately the actual effect was good.

The crew was very efficient, and he finished the scene of his first encounter with Jin Mi today.

Both Yang Zi and Gu Jingyi are outstanding actors of their generation, so they will naturally not lag behind during the filming.

When two people with good acting skills act together, the effect is "1+1>2".

It's easy to get into the role and the collision is also good.

After finishing today's filming, Gu Jingyi and Yang Zi exchanged contact information and took the nanny car provided by the company to the hotel where they were staying.

"Jingyi, your joining the cast of 'Ashes of Love' has already become a hot topic today."

Lin Ze was sitting in the back seat, right next to Gu Jingyi and talking to him about trending searches.

As a manager, in addition to managing the artist's work invitations in an orderly manner, one of his responsibilities is to regularly monitor public opinion and control the direction of the trend.

"Yeah, the official account has announced it. I retweeted it, it would be strange if it didn't go viral."

Gu Jingyi leaned back in the back seat of the car feeling a little tired, and put on a steam eye mask to restore his energy.

"Your fans are all celebrating, but fans of Naipaosen's teammates aren't so happy. They're calling you an ungrateful person for rushing to join the group right after your debut. You don't even participate in group shows, you have no team spirit."

Lin Ze glanced at his notes, summarized them, and told Gu Jingyi.

"This is weird. A limited draft group, everyone fought their way through the survival draft, and their ages are between 94 and 02. Everyone's age difference is pretty close, so we're both teammates and rivals, right? What is team spirit? Why do we always wish for things that are so hard to come by?"

He was really speechless. Isn't the fate of the draft team all about fighting?
The only time they are missed is either after they disband or after their teammates fall out of favor.

"I don't understand what they're thinking. Oh, it's not important. I'm just telling you. Jingyi, you're becoming more and more famous now, so you must be careful with your words and actions. Even if you're not so satisfied with the group activities, don't express it in front of the team."

Lin Ze turned his head and taught earnestly.

"Okay, I know. It's private, but I'll be careful in public."

Gu Jingyi nodded and listened.

In fact, the proportion of fans of Milk Foam Sen Tuan is very small, almost to the extent that anyone can step on the fans of the only one.

Generally, only contestants in the lower ranks will try to win the love of group fans and support their activities or albums.

The fans of the top players all maintain accounts, and when needed, they deliberately lead the opponent's rhythm and take advantage of the situation.

Gu Jingyi simply ignored all of this. With his current popularity, if he really asked his fans to leave, it would be poverty alleviation.

After "Ashes of Love" is broadcast, he will become a top star with no shortcomings in the true sense with the big hit drama in his hands.

He has works, is popular, and has loyal fans.

Wuhu, take off!
The atmosphere on the set of "Ashes of Love" is quite good, and the relationship between the male and female leads is harmonious. Gu Jingyi is also the most famous actor, and after becoming famous, he is surrounded by friends.

Before Gu Jingyi joined the crew, Huace put pressure on the crew to let a male actor who brought his own screenwriter give up the idea of ​​"stealing the limelight".

The quality of the latter part of "Ashes of Love" is indeed not as good as the former, and it definitely needs to be changed.

However, the first dozen or so episodes were all written by the original author, and the quality was up to par.

He had just joined the crew and was already lagging behind his fellow actors.

Naturally, we had to concentrate on reshooting the scenes after Deng Lun ran away.

In the early stage of "Ashes of Love", Xu Feng failed in his rebirth and came to the flower world, where he was rescued by Jin Mi by accident.

During this time, Jin Mi introduced Xu Feng to all her friends. Chang Fangzhu also noticed the movement that day. She had been searching for any suspicious people. Jin Mi took Xu Feng to hide from place to place.

Until Xu Feng recovered his spiritual power and returned to heaven with the childish Jin Mi.
