Chapter 46: 50-50

In the following days, Li Qi’s filming will focus on action scenes.

As a mythological drama,”The Lotus Lantern” is not short of action scenes, and Yang Jian, a character who can be compared with the Monkey King Sun Wukong, has countless fighting scenes in the play.

The action director is Zhao Jian, and the two work very well together. Since Li Qi has an outstanding martial arts performance, he also participated in some of the action designs for Erlang Shen.

“Be handsome”

This is the request made by Li Qi and Zhao Jian.

You have to know that one of the most important reasons why Yang Jian is so popular is that he is handsome. He looks handsome, wears handsome clothes, and fights handsomely. If he can also have pretty good acting skills on this basis, it would be even better. So Li Qi doesn’t think there is anything wrong with this request.

“Snap”

The sound of a folding fan opening, Li Qi’s face behind the folding fan

In the action design, Zhao Jian also designed the action of turning the fan. In fact, not only the fan needs to be turned, but also Erlang Shen’s exclusive weapon, the three-pointed double-edged halberd.

In the action scenes of”The Lotus Lantern”, the scenes that can be shot on location are indeed shot on location, but some shots are destined to be impossible to shoot on location, so a green screen must be used to facilitate special effects production in the later stage.

By the way, there are also some flying shots, which were also shot intensively. The crew prepared a lot of dry ice to create a fairy-like feeling, allowing the actors to perform the action of driving the somersault cloud.

This was Li Qi’s first time filming a mythological drama, so when shooting these scenes, he felt that his actions looked too embarrassing. Fortunately, everyone had similar scenes to shoot, so no one laughed at anyone else. Moreover, these shots were actually very cool after post-processing. So it was a bit embarrassing, but Li Qi took the actions very seriously.

In this way, after filming the action scenes for a week, the crew of”Baolian Lantern” finally returned to filming the literary scenes temporarily, but the scenes were mostly off-stage scenes. What they were going to shoot today was the scene where Chenxiang and Erlang Shen met by the river.

Behind Li Qi, Chen Xiang, played by Cao Xiaojun, slowly woke up from his coma. He looked at Li Qi, who had his back to him, with a confused expression:”Why am I here? Who are you?”

“I……”

Li Qi laughed at himself, then turned around and looked at Cao Xiaojun with a smile in his eyes, but his tone was a little disdainful:”Didn’t Liu Yanchang tell you who your relatives are?””

Director Yu Minsheng, who had been watching the performance in front of the camera, secretly praised it in his heart and asked the photographer to pull a close-up, so that the whole picture only had Li Qi and Chen Xiang.

“Relatives? Yes!”

Cao Xiaojun’s eyes seemed to carry the innocence of a child, and he smiled and said,”I have a fourth aunt who comes to my house to visit me every Chinese New Year and other festivals!”

“Are there any other relatives?”

Without meeting Cao Xiaojun’s gaze, Li Qi turned his head to look at the lake, seeming to be somewhat expectant, but also somewhat resistant, still a very contradictory feeling.

“Well handled”

Liu Daqing appeared beside director Yu Minsheng at some point and whispered,”The first conversation between the two was based on a sense of contradiction. Yang Jian at this time had not yet started his formal planning.””

“Yes”

Yu Minsheng looked back at Liu Daqing and said in surprise:”Didn’t Sister Qing say before that she looked down upon the script of The Lotus Lantern? How come she seems to be quite familiar with the plot now?”

“Correct it for you”

Liu Daqing said softly,”I didn’t like the published script of”Baolian Lantern”. Later, the script was changed in the ninth year. I like the second version of the story very much. It can be seen that the script was changed for the role of Erlang Shen Yang Jian, but it also gave me, the role of Queen Mother, more room to play.……”

Yu Minsheng smiled

Liu Daqing suddenly made a gesture to silence him. Yu Minsheng was stunned. If someone made such a gesture to him, he would definitely be angry. But if the other person was Liu Daqing, it would be a different story. He turned his head and looked at the

At this time, Cao Xiaojun had already left

The person who appeared beside Li Qi was Xiaotian Dog, played by actor Chen Chuang. He looked at Li Qi and said,”Master, why didn’t you just kill him to avoid future troubles?——”

Li Qi turned his head

He glanced at Chen Chuang

Chen Chuang’s voice suddenly stopped, and then Li Qi looked at the lake and said in a very complicated tone:”This child will never achieve anything in the future.”

“so……”

Chen Chuang seems to understand

Li Qi sighed and said,”Xiaotian Dog, from today on, I will not allow anyone to hurt him. I will try my best to fulfill his wishes.”

“Yes, master!”

Chen Chuang nodded immediately

Then Li Qi looked out the window again. His back seemed particularly lonely. Liu Daqing, who had not spoken a word, smiled and said in a strange voice,”It turns out that he has a pair of eyes that can speak.””

Li Qi at this time

Looking towards the lake

That feeling of melancholy just won’t go away

Yu Minsheng called out”Cut”, and the scene was over. He then looked at Liu Daqing and said with a smile,”It’s rare for Sister Qing to speak so highly of a young actor. Do you think he can take on this important role?”

Normal TV series

The leading man takes the lead

But the drama”Baolian Lantern” not only needs the male lead, but also the male second played by Li Qi to share the heavy responsibility. This drama has two lines, one is Cao Xiaojun’s line, and the other is Li Qi’s line.

Cao Xiaojun’s line is about struggle and counterattack

This is the main theme of the TV series

Li Qi’s line is much more complicated.���, layer by layer, step by step, dealing with all kinds of characters. If Li Qi’s line has problems, then Cao Xiaojun’s line will also be affected.

“Hard to say”

After thinking for a moment, Liu Daqing said,”Let’s wait and see.”

Next day

“TV series”Lotus Lantern”》”

“Scene 154, Scene 2!”

The clapperboard sounded again, and Liu Daqing showed his solid line skills:”Everyone has desires, but due to the environment in which each person lives, the responsibilities they bear, the principles of being a human being and many other factors,……”

Outside the venue, everyone stared at Li Qi and Liu Daqing.

Yan Danchen and Shu Chang were also discussing quietly.

“I don’t know how long Li Qi can hold on. Sister Qing doesn’t seem to be planning to hold back.”Yan Danchen said, a little worried about Li Qi.

“Hard to say”

“Although Li Qi’s acting skills are pretty good among our peers, he is still not good enough to compete with a double-award-winning actress like Sister Qing. Especially when Sister Qing is serious, Li Qi will probably fail.”Shu Chang replied in a low voice

But soon

They were both stunned because they found that Li Qi was still able to maintain a 50-50 performance despite being suppressed by Liu Daqing’s acting skills, and he was not at a disadvantage, and he gradually found his own rhythm.

“Click”

The director’s voice sounded

At this time, Yu Minsheng’s face was full of smiles, because Li Qi’s performance made him very satisfied. This would undoubtedly speed up the shooting progress a lot.
