I am a leader in the entertainment industry

Chapter 45: Crush peers?

Liu Daqing is a real mainland celebrity, winner of both the Golden Horse Award and the Hundred Flowers Award. The entire crew needs to look up to him. Even the director has to respect him. Even though he just got out of jail and his status and image have plummeted, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse!

Just like in the previous life, Liu Daqing was arrested and imprisoned for suspected tax evasion and other economic problems. She spent more than a year in prison. In the end, Jiang Dabin came forward to bail her out. However, because this is a parallel time and space, the incident happened much earlier.

As a double-award-winning actress, she was chosen by CCTV to play the role of Queen Mother in”The Lotus Lantern” as soon as she was released from prison. In this drama, she has a lot of interactions with Erlang Shen played by Li Qi, and she is also the character that Li Qi feels the most pressure in this drama!

It is also because she had just been released from prison that at least half of the reporters at today’s”The Lotus Lantern” launch conference came for her. Even though she has disappeared for more than a year due to her imprisonment, her every move is still watched by countless reporters. If she did not have tremendous power, how could she, who was surrounded by scandals, have joined this crew?

The entertainment industry is very complicated, and there is nothing to discuss here about the controversial news about the actors themselves. Since it is a collaboration, what Li Qi really cares about is Liu Daqing’s terrifying acting skills. For Li Qi, being able to act with an actor of Liu Daqing’s level is definitely a precious opportunity!

“Too bad this isn’t a movie……”

Li Qi secretly clenched his fists.”The Lotus Lantern” is not a movie, which means Liu Daqing will not go all out, and the script will not provide that environment. After all, the performance requirements of a TV series cannot be compared with those of a movie.

If possible, Li Qi would like to have a scene with Liu Daqing. Even if he is defeated overwhelmingly, it would be a very good experience. Li Qi believes that if actors like Chen Daoming are unattainable among domestic male actors, then among female actors, Liu Daqing’s acting skills are at the pinnacle.

In terms of awards, Liu Daqing may be inferior to Gong Huang, but you have to know that they are not in the same era. Liu Daqing’s peak period also influenced a generation of people. It is hard to say which work has a greater weight in the history of Chinese film, Furong Town or Red Sorghum. The eras are different and we can’t just compare the awards.

Li Qi sat in front of the mirror, and the makeup artist put on his makeup. He was a little young, so his makeup was steady. His appearance was not much different from the original in his memory. There was an interwoven pattern on his forehead, which was somewhat similar to lightning and glowed with a faint golden light.

A set of silver-white armor, this armor is quite heavy to wear

Li Qi has a habit of discussing the character’s image in the play with the crew’s stylist before filming, and he is very diligent in participating in the design. Originally, the stylist planned to design the armor in metallic color, but Li Qi used real metal in pursuit of the texture of metal. In this way, the weight of the armor is heavier than the original, but the armor’s style is undoubtedly raised to a higher level.

In the play, Yang Jian’s armor is the most frequently seen image, followed by Yang Jian in a black gown. However, in order to enrich the image, Li Qi added some shapes that did not appear in the original version.

For example, the blue shirt is made of silk. It has a white border with elegant patterns. When Li Qi puts on this shirt and the hairpin prepared by the crew, he was praised by the stylist after trying it on once.

There is also a version with a white shirt. The white shirt of a gentleman is an indispensable classic ancient costume. In addition to objective factors such as acting skills, there is another reason that is not known to outsiders for the requirements of CCTV’s”Baolian Lantern” for Yang Jian, which is that he must have the charm of a handsome man in ancient costume.

All in all, this is also related to the fact that the investment scale of this version of”The Lotus Lantern” is far greater than that of the previous version. The overall costumes and props of this play have been upgraded to a whole new level!

After finishing his makeup, Li Qi pushed open the door of the dressing room. At this time, the scene outside had been almost set up. Some actors had also finished their makeup and were waiting outside for the filming to begin. As a result, when Li Qi appeared in front of everyone, all pairs of eyes were focused on him in an instant!

Is there something wrong? Being stared at by so many strange eyes, Li Qi couldn’t help but feel strange. He looked at his armor carefully and didn’t find any flaws.

At this moment, screenwriter Jiu Nian, who had been sitting outside chatting with the actors, stood up, approached Li Qi and looked around. When Li Qi couldn’t help but ask a question, he spoke quietly:”You are like Yang Jian in The Lotus Lantern. As a screenwriter, this is the image of Erlang Shen in my mind!”

“Scare me”

Li Qi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief

At this time, Shu Chang, who played Xiaoyu in The Lotus Lantern, could not help but exclaimed:”Brother Qi looks so elegant in his armor. This is the first time I have been impressed by the handsomeness of Erlang Shen!”

“yes”

“So handsome!”

“The main reason is that Brother Qi has a good figure and looks good in anything he wears. Yang Jian in”The Lotus Lantern” will definitely become a classic TV image of Brother Qi!”

“……”

True and False

Surrounded by praise and compliments

Li Qi also had a gentle attitude and exchanged a few words with everyone.

……

The filming started soon

Because today is the first day of filming, the scenes arranged by the crew today are very simple and do not require any acting skills. The director’s goal should be to allow the actors to have a basic familiarity with each other, because the actors who acted with Li Qi today kept changing.

Observe each other? This should be the director’s purpose

Li Qi understood this and began to quietly pay attention to every actor he acted with. As a result, after a day of filming, Li Qi had a basic understanding of the actors who acted opposite him in the play. You know, everyone’s acting style is different, and the actors need to adapt to each other and blend into the same scene, otherwise it will be bad if they are out of character.……

Li Qi is observing others, and others are also observing Li Qi

In particular, some actors of similar age to Li Qi are extremely concerned about Li Qi, because compared with his peers, Li Qi is too dazzling, so dazzling that many people are inevitably a little unconvinced and want to test Li Qi’s quality.

Is the role simple? That’s not a problem

It was precisely because today’s scenes were simple that the basic skills of the actors were tested. As a result, Li Qi only used one scene to shock a group of actors of the same generation, and they quietly put away their inner dissatisfaction.

Lines!

Speed ​​of getting into the role!

In the simple scenes, just comparing these two aspects, Li Qi directly crushed most of his peers in the crew. He had the experience of his previous life, which made him better than the average peers. In addition, he has been improving in the past two years, so naturally he has achieved the level of”experts can tell whether there is any skill after just one move” today.”

Unconsciously, Li Qi’s acting skills have improved to a certain extent, and he is clearly different from his peers.

After watching Li Qi wield the three-pointed double-edged sword, action director Zhao Jian said with a little emotion:”I didn’t expect that he also knows martial arts. Without more than ten years of practice, you can’t perform to this level.””

Director Yu Minsheng nodded:”Among actors of his generation, his acting skills are among the best. I am a little curious now. What kind of surprises will he bring me in the difficult scenes later?”
