After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 168 Sick

Fortunately, it was all over and it was only a five-day delay. After returning to the crew and taking a short rest, Li Mingji had to go back to the heavy shooting task.

In the past few days when Li Mingji was away, the crew naturally did not stop and roughly filmed the scenes of several important supporting characters.

And when Li Mingji came back, he and Lin Siyi were about to enter the emotional drama of the hero and heroine.

Lin Siyi did not participate in the Skyhawk Awards before, saying that it was because there was no work this time, and there was no good way to say it in the past, but it is more likely that she will be "the king does not see the king" with Cai Minglan.

Moreover, if the last year's Skyhawk Goddess is in the same frame as this year's Skyhawk Goddess, there are too many topics to write about, but it is very likely that they will "like the new and dislike the old", and even the Skyhawk Award itself may secretly promote.

In this case, even if it was a good exposure opportunity, Lin Siyi would definitely not be willing to use it as a stepping stone for others.

However, her roles were basically directly related to Li Mingji, so after Li Mingji left, she was also free.

And this woman really didn't seem to care about such things, she actually stayed in the crew well and didn't go out much.

As for whether to figure out the role carefully, or just be a home girl, only she knows.

Now that Li Mingji is back, she will also be busy.

Although this drama is mainly a man's drama, the tenderness of the tough man and the emotional drama can be regarded as a strong stroke.

In this day and age, purely masculine dramas can't attract so many people to the cinema, especially when watching movies has become a daily routine for many couples, and women are increasingly making choices when watching movies.

In this case, chick movies and youth movies came into being and became popular.

It’s okay to say that there are so many high-quality chick movies, but youth movies are really a pot of rat shit, and there is no one that can be watched in mainland China.

There may have been similar types in the past, but they were not called youth movies. This is a deliberately created vocabulary in recent years.

However, this kind of garbage classification is not necessarily a bad thing for moviegoers. If you see this type of movie, you can avoid it 100% by taking a detour.

Youth movies can be so bad that everyone complains, "I don't know whose youth is in the movie. It's not our youth anyway." This shows what kind of castle in the air the current screenwriters and directors live in.

It is not advisable to blindly blame idols, actors, and management, because it can be said that it is a problem of their ability and vision, and if they are stupid, then these writers and directors are purely bad and deliberately disgusting people.

All kinds of plots with wrong three views, are they teaching by example that these are the "Beat Generation"?
There has long been no market for this kind of statement, but some people are still happy to promote this kind of view by stuffing private goods in film and television works.

However, for this kind of film and TV, there are still people who pay for it, and there are quite a few people, and it has become a situation where one person is willing to play and one is willing to suffer, which makes people even more helpless.

The general environment is like this, so there will be more and more talents making films without technical content and artistic accomplishment with low cost and high return.

Capital also seeks profit. Since it can make money, why would they bother to find a good book or train a good actor?

It's no wonder that some directors say things like "this audience is too bad". In a sense, what he said may be true.

Of course, "Splendid Clothes and Embroidered Brightness" is definitely not that kind of film. Although it is not a drama film or a literary film, the style of traditional martial arts films is indeed not comparable to that of junk youth films.

The emotional drama here is actually a taste of it, there is no intimacy scene in the whole process, and the male and female protagonists are all "respectful" people.

After all, we must consider the characteristics of the times. Neo-Confucianism developed from its peak to gradually distorted in the Song and Ming Dynasties. The Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Principles became an invisible cage for women, and the relationship between men and women became a taboo topic.

It may be a joke now that "a man and a woman are not close to each other", but there were indeed many examples of bloody forests in that era to prove it.

Although the identity of the heroine has become a member of Jiaofang Si, and she has a relatively generous personality, but she is inevitably constrained by the times, and the protagonist's previous protection for her prevents her from being with Jiaofang Si other women. Generally, they sink early, so they are still mostly shy when it comes to matters between men and women.

Therefore, the interaction between them mainly relies on dialogue.

Of course, in addition to the lines, the heroine's frowns and smiles, and the hero's every word and deed are all interactive, so the director team also focused on making a fuss about this aspect.

To make people feel the sweetness of love, there is tenderness on the one hand, and innocence on the other. Such a fairy couple can easily arouse the audience's beautiful fantasies, and then worry about what happened to them. With the ups and downs of the plot, Rejoice for them and worry about them.

To be honest, this is also where Li Mingji felt that the original work was not very good. Although the hero and heroine cannot be said to have no sense of CP at all, and the scene of the red dress in the snow is indeed beautiful, but generally speaking, it is Unable to impress.

This is not only because of the dog-licking character design, but also because they don't have that "feeling of love" from beginning to end.

But now, the settings have been changed, and the scenes will naturally change. The atmosphere between the male and female protagonists will no longer be slightly alienated. Instead, they clearly want to get closer, but due to etiquette, they must maintain a certain distance. People also have each other in their eyes.

This is actually quite challenging for the two actors. Li Mingji will not mention it first, but Lin Siyi is a representative of the famous "look at everyone as if you are looking at a stranger" with paralyzed acting skills and dull eyes.

This time Li Mingji also had a good understanding of the other party's unique performance. It is really hard to figure out how such a performance can always be filmed with love scenes.

"...Lin Siyi, you have to smile more. This character has a cheerful and outgoing personality. You have to be more lively. It is best to add some movements to look cute and childish. And unconsciously, there is some dependence on the other party... "

Director Lu Xing really taught Lin Siyi how to do it in every scene.

In fact, Lin Siyi's acting skills are not really that bad. When the director's guidance is in place, she can perform well.

But Li Mingji didn't know why, she often acted and acted, and she would turn into the same appearance, as if there was a built-in system program in her body, "different routes lead to the same goal".

This makes Director Lu very helpless sometimes, because he has to keep reminding him.

In contrast, Li Mingji relieved him a lot. Sometimes he didn't need to say anything, Li Mingji could realize the problem by himself.

Of course, another reason is that there is Pei Mingde next to Li Mingji. He often watches Li Mingji's performance on the spot, and then guides him on the spot.

It's actually not convenient for Lu Xing to say some things as a director, but Pei Mingde can say whatever he wants, his status allows him to have no scruples.

Anyway, it was Li Mingji who asked him all the time, not him who asked Li Mingji.

Of course, if he knew how many people "liked" him because of Li Mingji's relationship, this "old naughty boy" would probably be very happy.

"You've really improved a lot now, and it's beyond my expectation that you haven't lost your condition when you come back this time."

Li Mingji felt that the time might be too short, so it was not so easy for him to get out.

This was supposed to be his fault, it took time to get out of the play and into the play, but occasionally it was like this, but it was a good thing.

Of course, as long as you know this kind of thing clearly and don't get carried away, you should still "enjoy" it when you are praised.

So he just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Of course, you also had a little problem just now..."

really!

Li Mingji's face immediately collapsed again, half of this was true, and half was done on purpose.

Pei Mingde couldn't help laughing, but he didn't intend to be funny, so he gave some pointers next.

Teacher Pei never disappoints people, and Li Mingji feels that he has benefited a lot from his advice every time.

Coupled with his own hard work, he can clearly feel that his acting skills have improved a lot compared to before in this crew.

This time it's not the case where the foundation is too weak so even a little improvement seems to make a lot of progress, but a feeling that I have found the key.

Although he still hasn't discovered the "trick" that Pei Mingde mentioned, the most powerful thing about Pei Mingde, a registered teacher, is that he can constantly lead him in the right direction.

It's not that he deliberately hides it, but just like what he said, everyone's path is different, and his path may not be suitable for Li Mingji, so he has no way to help Li Mingji make a decision. direction of death.

But step by step, relying on experience to guide him on his own path is possible.

"Okay, let's do this again..." Lu Xing was calling for the start of filming again, and Li Mingji and Lin Siyi also finished their breaks and rejoined the filming.

It was still the same scene, the heroine who was arranged to pick up the guests, while performing her newly learned tune, looked at the male protagonist shyly and timidly, and the male protagonist also looked back at her affectionately.

The heroine was originally a fisherman's daughter, so it was difficult for her to learn art halfway, and one can imagine what kind of treatment she received before, so she has a deep-seated resistance to playing the piano.

But in front of the man she loves, she is willing to play to him.

The male protagonist is running around outside, trying to save money for the future of the two of them. He is unwilling to tell the other party about his hard work, but only with the other party can he get peace of mind.

Although this scene is simple, the performances of the two are always flawed. To put it bluntly, they don't seem to be very attractive.

In fact, watching the performances of the two of them alone, they can still pass, but when put together, it feels as if they are doing their own things, without the kind of emotional expression required by the director.

In the end, I had to do it again and again. After four or five more attempts, I finally managed to pass.

The director saw that the time was quite late, so he could only announce helplessly: "Okay, let's stop here, everyone disbands first. Wait for a while, and come back at night..."

The biggest difference between this film and Li Mingji's previous films is that there are too many night scenes. It is impossible to shoot during the day and night, so the shooting of the day usually starts in the morning and ends in the evening.

This will help the progress of the filming, but it is not a small burden on the actor's body, especially for the protagonist Li Mingji, who still has many fights. Even if he has trained his physical fitness well before, his foundation is too poor.

As a result, he showed more and more fatigue. He didn't even need to look in the mirror to know how terrible the dark circles under his eyes would be without makeup.

Naturally, both Lu Xing and Pei Mingde have seen this, but the filming is like this, not only Li Mingji alone, but the whole crew follow this kind of work, especially Lu Xing follows the crew all the way, his working hours are definitely shorter than that. Li Mingji is much longer.

When Li Mingji himself didn't take the initiative to complain about suffering and tiredness, and wanted to give up, Lu Xing would only make a small adjustment silently, and it was impossible to make major changes.

Brother Wang and the others tried to persuade Li Mingji to take it easy, but Li Mingji didn't know if he had fallen into a strange state, and the more he was in this situation, the more energetic and motivated he was.

He faintly felt that he seemed to have touched something in such a situation of squeezing himself, as if he could reach a new "state" as long as he made a little more progress and made a breakthrough.

However, what he waited for first was not a breakthrough, but a disease.

"Ah!"

"Isn't it because of a cold?"

It is not uncommon for non-acting factors to interrupt the shooting. It is not necessarily unprofessional to be unable to hold back a sneeze or scratch an itch at a scene like this. After all, ordinary people are hard to bear.

And it's just a shot, NG to do it again, isn't it better than enduring the discomfort and not being in good condition?
At this time, Lu Xing didn't have any thoughts about the NG itself. He was more concerned about Li Mingji's state at this time.

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now when I'm worried, I can't help but think about some aspects, and after looking at it like this, I feel more and more that Li Mingji's state is not right.

"Well, it shouldn't be. I don't seem to have anything..." Li Mingji said and suddenly got stuck. He felt that his mind went blank and his limbs were a little weak.

If it wasn't for Ni Yuan who was next to him to rush over to help him, he would almost fall to the ground.

Lu Xing was also shocked, and immediately shouted: "Go and call the doctor, and help him to the side to rest!"

The shooting stopped naturally. Li Mingji's sudden abnormality disrupted the shooting plan. Although he had a backup plan, he couldn't continue shooting today—it was almost evening, and he was about to rest.

Li Mingji's fall touched the hearts of the entire crew. No matter what their thoughts were, everyone didn't want him to have problems at this time.

The doctor came soon, and after the examination, he said: "It should be mental weakness and muscle strain caused by overwork. The problem is not serious, but I need to rest. I really need rest!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is nothing to do, as for the rest, in fact, the crew has already caught up with a lot of progress during this period, but there is enough time invisibly.

Li Mingji didn't expect such a result. He wanted to stand up, but his limbs couldn't use the strength, so he had no choice but to accept the reality, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I have to delay everyone because of me." It’s time…”
