"By the way, what do you think of me taking the male route?"

Chi Yue thought about it and asked Xia Rui, he is also developing towards a breakthrough now, in fact, it is not easy to break through, there are too many stars in the circle, there are all types, and the last TV series directed by Yu had a good evaluation of him, but it is still said that there is a little shadow of when filming idol dramas, but most of the evaluations are still positive, but it is not so easy to break through the previous self. This time, after Director Yu's play received the invitation, he was also very happy, even if he was in the pain of training stretching, he kept gritting his teeth and enduring it.

"Huh? What type of male route? Xia Rui is also a little interested, "Martial arts star? I don't think your drama is very much, now the martial arts scene is not as popular as it was in the early years, and those stars who could fight without stand-ins in the past are basically few who can be moved now, and there is not a film that was sprayed or something in the first two months, saying that the fighting scenes in it are not sincere at all. But think about it, people who are already sixty or seventy years old, and the age is there. If you want to take this drama road, you have to think clearly, it's really not something that can be supported by a little showmanship, people are still trained from childhood, and you can't practice it now. ”

Xia Rui didn't want to fight Chi Yue, he really wanted to take the road of martial arts, it was really not an easy thing, learning martial arts was not an easy thing in the first place, when the martial arts style was popular, most of these were famous for being able to fight without stand-ins, but it also caused danger and had to go on it personally, and there were many dark injuries on the body. After getting older, the physical fitness declines and can no longer play, and the audience will naturally feel that the gap is too big.

"And to be honest, the path of martial arts stars is not particularly broad, you think that as soon as the predecessors came out, as soon as they saw that face, they would subconsciously feel that this film must be indispensable for martial arts scenes, and after a long time, there is such a stereotyped thinking pattern, and they have formed a fixed impression." Xia Rui thought about it and said, Chi Yue is still young, if such an impression is fixed for everyone all of a sudden, it will be even more difficult to break through in the future.

Chi Yue pondered for a moment, feeling that what Xia Rui said was not casually talking, but really helping him think about it, and it was quite reasonable.

"Your role this time is pretty good, if you really want to change, why don't you shoot that kind of tough guy theme? The gym exercises a body of tendon meat, the kind of eight-pack muscles that look thin and undressed in clothes? Xia Rui thought about it and said, "I think it's not bad for the military, I'm not talking about the kind of war, but the special forces, I think this direction is not bad." Of course, the premise is that you just toss your muscles, don't make your face a rough face all at once, your appearance is still very important. ”

Chi Yue's appearance is very good, and it is the kind of sunny and cheerful type, this kind of image is still good, at least it is quite marketable, but the figure is good, the contrast is cute.

Chi Yue thought about it, and also felt that Xia Rui's proposal sounded pretty good, and maybe it had unexpected effects.

"What about you, are you going to pick up a movie or a TV series for yourself this year?" Chi Yue asked Xia Rui about her plans for this year.

"Besides, it depends on the time." Xia Rui said so, in fact, she actually knew that she probably wouldn't be able to take on the drama like this year in the future, after all, the coursework of the original discipline was not too easy, of course, if you don't care about grades and want to mix casually in the past four years of college, there is an easy way, but if you want to make some grades or go further, it will not be so easy.

The Department of Mathematics of Beijing University was originally one of the signature majors, and there are many talented people in it.

"How?"

"I have to maintain my reputation as a scholar," Xia Rui smiled, "Do you think that a scholar doesn't need to study hard?" It's all pretended, calm on the surface, but secretly fighting inside. We have a lot of cattle tied up, and I have to work hard not to be ashamed. Otherwise, if there is a failure or the like being reported by the paparazzi, then I will lose my face. ”

"Yes, that little junior sister, you work hard, and when you count those top students in the entertainment industry in the college entrance examination every year in the future, your name will be on it!" Chi Yue also smiled, and artists like Xia Rui who came out of non-acting schools are rare.

"That's a must!" Xia Rui said as a matter of course, "That's what I'm here for." ”

Chi Yue was speechless when he saw Xia Rui so cheeky, but the two of them talked and laughed, which also swept away the depressed atmosphere he had before, and the N-machine incident that originally made him feel a little depressed was not so important, but in his heart Chi Yue still secretly made up his mind that he must be more attentive tomorrow, and he can't be embarrassed in front of his little junior sister.

That night, Ye Huan had already been notified from the assistant director that he would shoot the scene tomorrow, and Xia Rui got up at five o'clock the next morning, and now in the summer, the sunrise time in the morning is quite early, and after practicing in the morning and pulling his muscles and bones for breakfast, Xia Rui went to the studio.

The makeup artist and stylist also came over early, and when they were halfway through the change of clothes and makeup, Chi Yue also came, followed by Jiang Yi, the actress No. 1 who didn't get off work until half past eleven last night.

Jiang Yi can be considered beautiful if she wants to say that she is beautiful, but she can't be considered very beautiful, and the most important thing among the stars is those good-looking female stars, but Jiang Yi is a little more heroic. There are too many kinds of beauty, some charming, some pitiful, but although Jiang Yi can't be considered particularly beautiful, the little heroism in the eyebrows is special enough and very recognizable.

Jiang Yi is not young, although she has a lot of maintenance on weekdays, and her skin is not too loose, but there are already some fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

"Xiao Xia came really early." Jiang Yi smiled when she saw Xia Rui, who was already halfway through her makeup, and said hello, the title of the word "Xiao Xia" was familiar with points, as if she had known each other for a long time.

"I just joined the crew, Sister Jiang also came early, I heard last night that the filming didn't end until half past eleven?" Xia Rui doesn't care what people call her, but since people are so polite, she is just as polite.

"It's okay, I'm used to it, it's pretty good, at least it's a good night's sleep, sometimes it's not uncommon to shoot until one or two o'clock in the morning when I'm in a hurry, and it's not unheard of to shoot at seven or eight o'clock in the morning." Jiang Yi said with a smile, as soon as she sat on the makeup chair, the chief makeup artist had already begun to put makeup on her, but it was not a complicated makeup, with her hair tied in a bun, and the clothes on her body were also neutral, so she also had a sense of heroism just by looking at it.

Xia Rui didn't delay much in the dressing room after putting on makeup, after all, she was not the only one in the crew who still had to put on makeup, but after coming out of the dressing room, Xia Rui felt a little hot, after all, wearing long-sleeved clothes in the summer is really a hard thing, plus she originally had long hair, although she didn't toss too much when the hair was coiled, but it was originally a very offending thing to wear long hair in the summer.

Ye Huan had also arrived at the scene, hurriedly handed the small hair dryer in his hand to Xia Rui, and also opened the parasol, so as not to sweat all over his body after the heat and spend his makeup.

Director Yu is also already there, greeting the scene notes and the filming crew, wearing a peaked cap, it looks like a pure college student, but those who know know that he has nothing to do with Chunliang at all, especially when you ask you again and again "No, let's reshoot it once" and "No, let's reshoot it again", it is really a saint who can be driven crazy.

"Director Yu!"

Xia Rui took a step forward and called obediently.

"It's already good, that's okay, while the weather is not too hot in the morning, let's shoot a few big scenes in the morning," Director Yu's perception of Xia Rui is still very good, and he doesn't hold the script in his hand, he remembers most of the scripts clearly, "Just shoot when your group enters the city, and then shoot the scene of Chi Yue's masturbation, do you have any questions?" ”

There are probably not many problems in the first scene, at most it will be a long shot, a close view, the main thing is that there need to be a few close-up shots, and the difficult thing to shoot is the scene where Chi Yue took the people and horses to take advantage of the moment they went out of the city, the scene must be a little messy, and the close-up and long-range close-ups even contain martial arts scenes, and then there must be Weiya, it would be good to be able to shoot these two scenes all morning, and if you are unlucky, you can toss for a long time.

Director Yu is even ready to shoot for a day or more.

"I don't have a big problem." Xia Rui thought about those two scenes, and it was really not too much of a problem for her.

This martial arts drama is about the emperor is mediocre, eunuch messing with power, when the eunuch of the court is even more tempting to indulge in the faint monarch in the woman's sex, the faint monarch's uncle Qing Wangye has the heart of plotting to usurp the throne, and the big eunuch steals the country, there are loyal in the court to find the behavior of the two and collect evidence, the big eunuch forged the holy decree to make the Jinyi Wei command to seize the evidence of the rebellion of the military department, but in the action it was found that it was the dynasty Yuxi who discovered the truth, which has caused a series of changes.

And Xia Rui's role was a weak and harmless character in the early stage, and she could refer to the style of those little white lotuses, but in fact, she was a righteous daughter of King Qing, a ruthless killer, hiding beside the commander, just to seize the jade seal, take down the evidence of rebellion, and eradicate those loyal and good people.

Pretending to be a poor little white lotus is really not much pressure for Xia Rui, and the problem is not too difficult for martial arts, but this is for her personally, because she is a villain, generally speaking, this kind of character is not very able to please the audience, so of course the villain role will not be so popular, but for Xia Rui, after reading the whole script, she still likes this villain, there is a contrast. Anyway, she hasn't played much of a villain, and it's good to play one.

The actors also came very early, the male number one came relatively late, Guo Hongli, who debuted as a martial arts star, is not young, in his thirties and almost forty years old, but because it is a martial arts practice, the whole person's physique looks very good, but I heard that the wind evaluation in the circle is not too good, and there is a little bit of the rhythm of drama bully.

However, this basically does not have much impact on Xia Rui, after all, for her, in addition to martial arts, most of the male number one is still in literary drama, even in literary drama, there is still a female number one.

"Come on, come on, the scene we are going to shoot today is the seventeenth scene of entering the city," Director Yu held the megaphone in his hand, "Field affairs, are the props ready?" ”

The field attendant returned an OK gesture, the main prop of the day was nothing else, and horses. Don't underestimate this thing, this is generally an indispensable prop for filming costume dramas, although it is not a pure-blood, but there are many people who have rented it, and the cost of this is not small for a long time, but there are also professional horse trainers who accompany them, and these trained horses can generally do some designated actions, after all, it is really difficult to break it up in the event of an accident.

"Okay, you and the horses will get acquainted with each other first." Director Yu also expressed his satisfaction, the scene of entering the city is basically to be filmed, but most of the crew are also old actors, and there is no problem with horseback riding, and there are a few who are not very good.

Xia Rui also had a scene with a horse, so soon a horse trainer led a red horse to her.

"It's a mare, and she's very docile." The trainer said, "You get acquainted with it first, and I'll take you around when you're on the horse." ”

Xia Rui reached out and touched the mare's head, she was really docile, and basically did not resist her action, and even rubbed her head in the palm of her hand, the horse trainer also felt a little relieved about Xia Rui's reaction, their horse farm is specially cooperated with film and television, don't look at the stars who are heroic when they appear on TV on horses, there are many stars who are very afraid during filming, and there are also those who have been tossing for a long time. He saw that Xia Rui was not afraid, and naturally felt a little more relaxed, just not afraid, not afraid that he would be able to do a lot less when the time came.

The horse trainer originally wanted to help Xia Rui get on the horse and let her get acquainted with it, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she saw that Xia Rui had stepped on the pedal very freely and turned over on the horse, she pulled the reins, and the group of maroon mares had slowly begun to wander around under her command.

"I'll go around." Xia Rui said to the horse trainer casually, and without waiting for the horse trainer to react, she had already ridden away neatly, this horse was probably a little suffocated, and now it was finally possible to come out and let go of the wind, it was also happy, and it was also faster and faster.

The horse trainer was a little dumbfounded, he hadn't told her to pay attention to it, why did he run away with the horse all of a sudden?

"It's okay, Miss Xia, she is a member of the Equestrian Association, and she has won awards in competitions." Ye Huan was also shocked by Xia Rui's sudden action, but in the end, he had been with Xia Rui for a long time, and he also had a certain understanding of her, seeing that the horse trainer's expression was a little ugly, he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

The horse trainer nodded stiffly, but he also knew in his heart that he could not look at the person's neat movements just now, and in terms of this riding skill, it could really be regarded as a professional level.

Xia Rui didn't run too far, and after a while, she had already played back and forth, stopped steadily, sat on the horse's back and stroked the horse's neck gently, and several staff members in the crew had just taken their mobile phones and secretly took photos.

Ye Huan also had to admit that the picture of Xia Rui wearing an ancient costume and riding on a horse really felt very good, as if she was supposed to be like this.

"I said Xia Rui, you can do it," Director Yu was not annoyed, he admired Xia Rui's riding skills, "Next time, I will come out and ride together when I am free." ”

"Okay, when the time comes, let's have a game, will you give the lottery head then? If I don't have a lottery, I won't come! Xia Rui also said casually that she had a horse in the Beijing Horse Farm, a purebred, and she often went there on weekends when she was free.

"Cut, you little girl, just your hand, if I play a game with you, I will only be wronged by you!" Director Yu snorted and said, he is not stupid, Xia Rui just knew that this girl was good at riding, and he played with her at his own level, and it was estimated that he would only be played by her, he was not stupid and played with her.

"Do you want to switch to a race car?" Director Yu also has a lot of hobbies, and there are also racing competitions among the stars, and he also won the third place once.

"No, I haven't had a driver's license yet." Xia Rui shook her head when she heard this, she didn't have a driver's license and still played racing, "It's the same if we go to go-kart." ”

Director Yu snorted, when he was still young, who still played this, this is probably a girl like him playing with a film.

Half an hour later, all the actors are here, and the makeup is basically not too good-looking, after all, what we want to create is the hard appearance of the wind and dust along the way, and after the filming started, a group of people slowly moved towards the city gate, and even used a blower, and the blower blew the whole yellow sand in the end, almost making people's eyes almost unable to open.

Half of Xia Rui's face was covered by a long veil of windbreak and sand, and she raised her eyes and glanced forward, her eyes were also a little worried, and Jiang Yi was also riding a horse in front, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

The long shots were shot quickly, followed by close-ups and close-ups, so a scene had to be repeated several times, especially when shooting close-ups, there were basically subtle mistakes, and Director Yu had to cut.

Although they came together, everyone's mental journey is different, for example, Jiang Yi played a dart master of the dart game, and at the beginning of the period, she took this dart out of helplessness, so when she arrived in Fengsha City, she was a little relieved, and she was a little relaxed, feeling that she was finally going to get rid of the predicament in front of her, and they also had the rules of the Jianghu people, and most of them were unwilling to participate in the court. So she and her dart masters have a sense of relief, relaxation, and even a bit of euphoria.

However, Guo Hongli's Jinyiwei is not so relaxed, and there is still a little bit of sadness in his eyebrows, and the calm along the way cannot make him take it lightly, and even feels that perhaps a bigger crisis is just around the corner.

And Xia Rui pretended to be an orphan of a loyal minister who had been destroyed, and she naturally believed in and relied on Guo Hongli, at least before entering the city, she looked worried and scared, but she was completely relieved of Guo Hongli, but when she lowered her eyes, the ruthlessness in her eyes flashed

Everyone's mental journey is different, and the natural performance is also different, plus there is Director Yu's strict director, and the last few close-up reshoots are basically normal.

After tossing and turning for about two hours, this scene was completely filmed, Director Yu looked at the picture in the monitor and felt satisfied, originally what he was most afraid of was not others, but he was afraid that Xia Rui would not be able to play the kind of double-sided nature he wanted, originally this role was a complex role, not a single one. If you want to perform the side of the White Lotus, Director Yu has not worried about Xia Rui, and he wants to perform ruthless and cruel, although the requirements are a little higher, but he still has confidence in Xia Rui, but the difficulty is that when he suppresses his nature, if he is replaced by an old actor with rich acting experience, it is estimated that it is not a big problem, but a young actor, what he pays attention to is a comprehension.

He was even prepared, maybe it took a little more time than usual to prepare for the shooting, but when he filmed, he was also very satisfied with Xia Rui's performance, and his understanding was quite good. Compared with the previous filming of "Love Letter" together, his acting skills have improved a little, and he originally thought that she would probably not be able to do it after staying in school for so long.

shouted to stop, and watched it over and over again, Director Yu was also satisfied, and decided that this scene was so decided and he didn't plan to reshoot it again, after all, it was already a version that couldn't find anything wrong with it, where did he not know that this group of people was also afraid of his reshoot, but how could he be full enough to reshoot it when it really made him satisfied, you must know that remakes also need funds.

Chi Yue is also standing behind Director Yu, Director Yu has no objection to people standing behind him to watch the shooting together, and even pointing at people, he was embarrassed to do this at first, but now after a long time, he is basically not embarrassed, and from Director Yu's actions, he can also see how others act.

Chi Yue originally thought that his acting skills were not bad, at least he should be better than Xia Rui, but after watching it several times, he realized that before he knew it, his little junior sister already had her own acting skills, which may be a little worse than the actress and senior actors, but she also has her own highlights.

Chi Yue also began to have a sense of crisis, originally thought that he had at least one junior sister to comfort, but according to the current development, maybe when she will be left aside by this junior sister, and she is not an orthodox professional born in a class, and there are basically only a few crews she has experienced, and she can even hone such acting skills.

He really should work harder, finally have such a crew, and be able to play with such a protagonist, if he is thrown away such a big time, he will become that failure!

Director Yu glanced at Chi Yue, who was very combative, and didn't say anything, he was also satisfied with Chi Yue's reaction in his heart, as long as he was willing to move forward, he was not afraid that there would be no chance of progress, if he didn't even have the slightest ambition and didn't want to grow, he really couldn't keep the rhythm of his substitution halfway.

After filming the first scene, Director Yu asked him to rest for a while, after all, he still had to prepare the field affairs for the next scene, and there must be a lot of group performances in this scene, so the assistant director also had to talk to the group.
