Chapter 77: During the filming, the routine wins people's hearts

Jinli is receiving guidance from screenwriter He.

Although the shooting time was limited, the crew also wanted to see her acting skills and what roles were suitable for her.

So screenwriter He said: "The first scene is a very stable scene, which tells the story of the princess's outing. At that time, the princess was innocent and naive, and she still admired her sweetheart, the prince, and was very friendly to everyone around her.

You just need to remember that the princess at this time was still being held in the palm of her hand by those around her, and she was very happy, so her tone of voice was cheerful. "

Jinli turned to the corresponding page, read the plot content, and nodded.

She had already changed into her costume and there was a makeup artist doing her makeup.

The crew was under time pressure and no one had time to write, so screenwriter He took this opportunity to explain the play to Jinli.

"The second scene is a scene with intense emotional conflict." Editor He paused, "When the princess learned that the prince was going to get engaged, she felt as if the world was falling apart, because she had always thought that she would become the prince's wife."

"She is the emperor's favorite daughter. Apart from the queen, she is the most noble woman in the world. She has everything she wants. Moreover, she has always shown her feelings. She never thought that the prince would not marry her."

Jinli opened this scene.

When the princess heard the news, she was combing her hair with a hairpin in her hand.

Because she was too excited, the hairpin pierced her skin and caused bleeding. She only came to her senses after being reminded by the maid.

Editor He specifically said, "I'm not asking you to stab hard. You just need to pretend. The bleeding palm will be used as a special effect later."

Jinli nodded again, "Okay."

Editor He: "The next is the third act. This act is about the princess finding out that the prince has a lover, so she goes to her father to find out, but from him she learns that she is going to be married off to a distant place.

The emperor announced this news in front of the prince. The princess felt embarrassed and unbelievable. She could not accept the marriage. "

Jinli turned to the corresponding plot, thought for a while, and asked: "Did the princess already know that marrying a foreign prince is a road of no return? She didn't expect her father would send her to marry a foreign prince. This shocked her more than the prince not marrying her?"

Editor He said appreciatively: “Yes!”

"The princess is innocent, but she is not stupid. Since ancient times, princesses sent to marry would never have a good result. Only weak countries would think of marrying to quell war.

In the past, small countries would send their princesses here to choose their husbands, but this time, the princess of the royal dynasty is marrying far away. From this, we can see that the dynasty is already very weak. "

Jinli recalled the entire script.

She almost forgot that this is not only a costume drama, but also a drama of male chauvinism, and the revival of the dynasty depends on the prince.

Later, after the princess was married off to a distant place, many things happened in the dynasty, and it was all thanks to the heroes and heroines who turned the tide.

The role of the heroine in this.

She is not only a good wife, but also an extremely smart and extraordinary woman. She has guessed the male protagonist's thoughts several times and cooperated with him from inside and outside.

Although this drama is marketed as a costume drama and the plot seems ordinary, it has all the right beginnings, developments, climaxes and endings. If it's well-made, it might become a small hit.

Jinli does not look down on these ancient puppet shows.

Those classic routines are used over and over again. Netizens criticize the lack of innovation, but they will go back to watch it.

Why is that?
In a word: Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts!
Innovation is risky. It can lead to success or failure.

But the risk of routines is not that great, you will just be criticized for being old-fashioned, but there is a market for old-fashioned things.

After screenwriter He finished explaining the play to Jinli, he left the dressing room and came to the director's lounge.

In the lounge.

Not only Director Li was there, but Producer Zhang was also there.

Without waiting for Director Li to speak, Producer Zhang asked first: "How is it, have you communicated with Jinli, how do you feel?"

Screenwriter He thought for a while and said slowly, "It's hard to say."

Producer Zhang said anxiously, "If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work. Why are you making it so difficult to say and leaving people hanging?"

Director Li guessed something and couldn't help but ask, "Maybe you thought she was a newcomer who didn't know anything and needed to be taught well.

But after communicating with her, I felt that she didn’t look like a newcomer and her attitude was very professional, so I’m not sure? "

Screenwriter He groaned: "Half and half."

He explained: "She didn't act like a newcomer. She didn't ask me many questions. I was basically the only one doing all the talking. But the questions she occasionally asked were very powerful and she grasped the character's situation at the time.

But I'm not sure if she's a newcomer. She didn't communicate with me in depth about the role. I felt that she had already figured out the role, so there was no need to communicate with me again. "

He changed the subject, "But I also felt that since she had never acted in a movie, she wouldn't be so experienced, so after thinking about it, I couldn't figure out her plan."

Seeing that Director Li and Producer Zhang both looked a little solemn, Editor He smiled freely.

"Don't be too nervous. We have to test her skills before deciding on the next steps. I have only simplified some of the plots in the script and have not made any major changes.

I plan to wait for Jinli to film today's three scenes, see her abilities, and then think about how to change them.

The three acts we selected have progressive emotions, each stronger than the last, which can always test her level.

We still have a few days to go, we can slowly polish it, as long as the same thing that happened to the last actor who was wronged doesn’t happen again, it will be good enough.”

What screenwriter He said made sense. Producer Zhang and Director Li looked at each other and decided that this was the only way to go for now.

No matter how anxious you are, it's useless!
An hour later, Jinli's makeup was done.

She felt that the crew chose these three acts today not only because of the progressive emotions, but also because the same set of costumes were used in these three acts.

Wearing the same costume can save time on changing clothes and doing makeup.

The script supervisor runs around the crew.

He had to coordinate many actors, and for Jinli's scene, he had already called all the maids from the first scene over in advance.

"Hurry up, hurry up, run! The crew is waiting for you!"

"There are still lighting guys, come here quickly!"

"Have you moved yet? Where is the stand-in who specializes in moving?"

Jinli waited there for another ten minutes.

After everyone was arranged, she put down the Wu San in her hand and walked to the designated point.

When the script supervisor came over to notify me, I took a look and thought: Well, this actor is quite diligent. He didn't play with his phone and didn't put down the script until the performance.

Huh, wait!

The script supervisor blinked several times, "Five years of college entrance exams and three years of simulations? This isn't a script, is it?"

"The stage manager is here!"

After being called, the stage manager ran away quickly.

He is not a big fan of celebrities, he only remembers the actors, and Jinli's face is a new one in his eyes.

The script supervisor muttered to himself: Could it be that the crew was desperate and specially hired a high school student to play the princess?
Although the age is suitable, is his acting ability good enough?
Soon after, Jinli proved to everyone with her body, strength, and actions.

Is her acting good?

"First scene, start shooting!"

"Princess, this flower is so beautiful!" said a maid.

"Princess, these are peach blossoms. You've seen so many peach blossoms on this trip. Maybe you can see the prince today!" said another maid.

Jinli picked a peach blossom, acted like a shy little girl, and pinned the flower in her black hair.

Her eyes and eyebrows showed her innocence, untainted by the dust of the world. She turned around and asked the maid: "Do you think I am beautiful?"

"It looks good, the prince will definitely like it too!"

Jinli carefully held the flower in her hair with one hand and said angrily, "Who wants that idiot to like it!"

Outside the camera, a group of people dropped fake flower petals from a tall building, and another group used a blower to blow the flower petals.

It dances wildly outside the camera and is beautiful inside the camera.

"Card!"

Director Li called a stop, reviewed the footage, and thought Jinli’s handling was okay.

There are definitely flaws, even if there aren't any.

If we follow the attitude of striving for perfection, we have to perform it again anyway, so that it will be easier to edit and choose the best one.

It's just that Jinli has limited time and not enough energy to perform for a long time, so Director Li immediately decided: "This is it, get ready for the next one!"

The next scene is an indoor scene, and the entire crew has to change the location.

However, in order to pursue efficiency, the indoor scenes had already been arranged in advance for the shooting group A to enter, so Jinli and Director Li only needed to go to the scheduled scene to start shooting directly without having to wait for the main group to move.

In the film and television city, every few steps you take will bring you to a different scene.

Jinli only walked for a few minutes before arriving at the indoor scene reserved by the crew.

She sat down and looked at the exquisite bronze mirror in front of her.

She just took a curious look at it, then picked up the five-three in her hand and continued to practice questions.

Director Li hasn’t started filming so soon, so I’ll try to squeeze in as much time as possible for studying.

When she is seriously focused, she can use one minute as if it were three minutes, and her efficiency soars.

As for the script, Jinli had memorized the parts she was going to play, so she didn't need to translate them.

I don't know if it's because she was used to acting in the heavens before, but Jinli felt okay acting in the human world this time.

In heaven, she is a little drama queen.

In the human world, she gradually regained her original feeling.

Ten minutes later, Director Li and the crew were ready.

Jinli asked Xiaoluo to help her take away Wusan and tidy up her appearance.

"Second scene, start shooting!"

A maid was helping Jinli with her makeup, and another maid took out a hairpin for her to choose from, "Princess, which one do you want to wear today?"

Jinli tapped her hand lightly, and under the camera, her hand appeared slender and distinct, like the white part of a scallion.

Director Li immediately gave a close-up of these hands!
There were other cameras in front of him, still shooting from a wide angle.

Jinli pointed at one of the hairpins. She had seen this hairpin in the hands of the prince before and thought that the prince had bought it for her.

She was delighted and sent someone to buy the hairpin.

“Let’s take this one!”

The maid was about to take off the hairpin when Jinli suddenly said, "Hey, wait!"

She took off the hairpin herself, looked into the bronze mirror and smiled, "I'll do it myself."

Suddenly, a maid ran in hurriedly.

"Princess, this is bad!"

Another maid spoke first: "Why are you panicking? What if the princess is frightened by you?"

Jinli said: "Okay, okay, I'm fine!"

She asked, "What happened and why are you so panicked?"

The maid knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Just now, just now, I passed by Chengtian Hall and heard the eunuch guarding outside say that the prince told His Majesty that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Shangshu!"

boom!
Jinli looked panicked, as if something broke, as if it came with her own background music.

She clenched the hairpin in her hand tightly, "Impossible, this is impossible!
There is no way he doesn't understand my feelings. I have said many times that I want to marry him. There is no way he doesn't understand what I mean!"

The head maid said anxiously: "Princess, your hand!"

Jinli looked down and saw that her palm had been cut by the sharp part of the hairpin, and a stream of bright red blood was flowing out.

She seemed to have escaped from an endless nightmare and immediately loosened her hand. The hairpin slipped and fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, a crystal teardrop rolled down her eyes.

"Cut!" Director Li called for a stop.

He watched the footage over and over again. He didn't expect Jinli to be so flustered.

how to say……

It was not the same picture as he had expected, but the effect of expression was surprisingly good.

Director Li groaned and said, "This scene is over!"

The other crew members couldn't help but be a little surprised. Was this scene happening again?

The way they looked at Jinli was a little different.

This actor seems to have some skills!
The next scene required very strong emotions, so Director Li gave Jinli a half-hour break to let her adjust her emotional state.

Because Jinli's performance gave Director Li a surprise, he specially called screenwriter He to go over and explain the play to Jinli.

But less than five minutes later, screenwriter He came back with a strange look on his face.

Director Li and Producer Zhang were still looking at the camera, observing the scene that Jinli had just filmed.

"Her performance is very special. I feel like she has a talent for acting."

"Well, it is more flexible than the professional ones, and not so formulaic, but it is not like the experiential approach either. You can still see traces of performance."

"If it is carefully polished and carved, it may be a beautiful piece of jade."

Producer Zhang caught sight of Editor He from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, why are you back?"

Director Li also asked: "Have you finished talking about the play?"

Editor He said helplessly: "You think too much, she doesn't need me to explain the play. I asked her if there was anything she couldn't understand, and Jinli said she probably understood it all, there was nothing she couldn't understand.

After saying that, he lowered his head to review the "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation". I saw that he was doing questions, and they were physics questions.

Seeing that she had solved a problem with great concentration, I left. Putting aside other things, Jinli works too hard in studying! "

Director Li seemed to have thought of something and said, "I heard Qiu Qiwen say that she wanted to bring Jinli to act in the play, so I searched her information. She only has a junior high school diploma, and it seems that she said she wanted to take the college entrance examination?"

Producer Zhang: “I know this, she is also the charity ambassador of Maozhua Live.

Last week, she fainted from exhaustion while participating in a live broadcast to help farmers, but she continued to participate the next day. People in the industry praised her for her hard work. Her live broadcast room is a learning room, where she often listens to lectures and practices exercises.

He Bian said thoughtfully: "According to this statement, Jinli has a strong willpower?"

Director Li affirmed: "She is so popular now, but she doesn't run around for promotions, but instead says she wants to study. This is not a decision that ordinary people can make."

Have a nice weekend everyone~
