After watching the replay, Qin Chuan and Li Lianjie praised each other, put on makeup, and prepared to shoot the next scene.

This is a big drama, involving dozens of actors, and is mainly divided into three battlefields.

One is on the side of Zhao Huaian and Yu Huatian, one is on the side of the head of the Western Factory, and the other is on the side of Zhao Huaian’s two brothers.

There was fighting on all three battlefields.

When Qin Chuan was putting on makeup, he found that the head of the Western Factory also came to put on makeup. This character wore a mask the whole time and had colored contact lenses in his eyes.

After being in the group for more than half a month, this was the first time he saw the other person’s true face.

After the other person took off his mask, he looked familiar.

Seeing Qin Chuan staring at him, the other party smiled and said, “Hello, I’m Fan Shaohuang.”

It turned out to be Li Wang.

Qin Chuan remembered that this person was also a veteran actor. He had good resources in the early years and had played many leading roles, such as Xu Zhu in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and the movie Li Wang.

Especially Li Wang, who was very powerful and refreshed his understanding of kung fu movies.

Even though Li Wang’s tendons on his hands were cut, he was able to pull them out and tie them into knots by himself.

Pull out the enemy’s intestines and strangle him to death.

However, in recent years, Fan Shaohuang has been in a bit of a downturn. His prime has passed and he can only play supporting roles everywhere.

If Qin Chuan remembered correctly, in this play, Fan Shaohuang could only take off his mask and show his face once in the death scene.

“Hello, I’m Qin Chuan.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you.”

After a brief greeting, the two didn’t say anything else. They didn’t have many scenes together, only a few in total.

Over the next few days, the crew continued filming the fight scene on the boat.

Change the location after shooting.

This time it was in the desert.

On the set, Li Yuchun was very excited and rubbed his hands, saying, “It’s finally my turn to perform.”

Qin Chuan encouraged: “Don’t be too nervous, just treat it as a normal rehearsal.”

The two had rehearsed several times, and he knew Li Yuchun’s level very well.

I’m just not suitable for acting and I don’t have the talent for it.

Beside the two of them, Long Danni, the president of Tianyu Media, arrived. Today was Li Yuchun’s debut, and she had to come and see the quality and whether he was suitable for this job.

Patting Li Yuchun on the shoulder, she said, “It’s your first time acting, so it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes.”

“Well, Mr. Long, I will try my best.”

In fact, this is not Li Yuchun’s first time acting. In 2006, the top few contestants of the Super Girl Contest co-starred in a TV series.

There’s just no fire.

If she is good at singing, she can also act. She really wants to be an actor.

With her current status and popularity, it will be difficult for her to advance further as a singer. Only by trying to open up a path as an actor can she move to the next level.

Just look at Qin Chuan and you will know that half of the reason why he is so famous is due to his acting skills.

“Go.”

“Boss Long, I’m going too.”

Qin Chuan and Li Yuchun were waiting in the wings.

The location of this scene is in the desert, and the crew built a Dragon Gate Inn.

The old version of Dragon Inn burned down more than ten years after filming was completed, so it was rebuilt this time.

The two waited for more than ten minutes, and soon it was their turn.

“Is there anyone?”

“Open the door!”

“It’s so windy outside, it’s almost covered in sand.”

Qin Chuan spoke a few words according to the script, and soon, the door of the inn opened, and two groups of people inside were ready to fight with swords drawn.

Li Yuchun dressed up as a man, took off her veil, and said, “I’m here, is there anyone who can talk?”

Behind her, Qin Chuan also pulled off the veil that was blocking the sand and looked at the scene with a nervous look on his face.

This time, he plays Fenglidao.

In this play, he needs to play two roles, one of which is the Jianghu man Feng Lidao.

Although the same face is used, any discerning person can see the difference between the two characters. Yu Huatian is feminine and cold.

Fenglidao is mean, ordinary, and has a darker skin.

“Why is the Governor here?”

“Maybe it’s just similar. I’ll give him a try.”

There are two cameras for one scene, and the whole scene lasts more than three minutes, all shot in one take.

Qin Chuan and Li Yuchun don’t have many lines, most of them are the communication between the Tatar woman played by Fan Xiaoxuan and the head of the Western Factory.

After the last word was uttered, the director shouted “Cut”.

Li Yuchun immediately ran to the monitor to watch the replay. It was such a long shot, everyone was unsure, so they all gathered around.

Only Qin Chuan didn’t pay much attention to it. He took the coat from the assistant, sat on his own lounge chair, lit a cigarette, and watched the next script of Feng Lidao.

He didn’t have many lines, so the performance of this scene was not difficult, and he had a rough idea of ​​what he was doing.

In front of the monitor, Li Yuchun quickly watched the replay, feeling mixed emotions.

She thought she had performed well, but when she looked closely at Qin Chuan next to her, she suddenly lost her confidence.

This scene is a hodgepodge, with four groups of people taking turns speaking: the Tatars, the people from the Western Factory, the people from the inn, and her and Feng Lidao.

When one party was talking, the others were silent. If you look closely, you will know that Qin Chuan didn’t speak most of the time, but the expression on his face never stopped. When listening to others speaking, he was either shocked, flattering, or smiling.

His hunched back has never been straightened up, and he looks like a small fry.

There is such a huge difference between him and the previous factory manager Yu Huatian that I almost thought they were played by two different people.

This acting skill is definitely the best among all singers, no doubt about it.

“What do you think of Chunchun?”

On Qin Chuan’s side, Long Danni came over at some point.

She also watched the playback and even stood in front of the monitor when it was filmed. She also asked Xu Lao Mo for his opinion, but the other party was a veteran and spoke vaguely, and it was as if he had said nothing after all he said.

“Not suitable for filming costume dramas.” Qin Chuan gave his own evaluation.

Costume dramas are probably the easiest to shoot in film and television dramas. Often, the audience’s focus and attention are on the storyline and appearance, and the requirements for the actors’ acting skills are the lowest.

As a leading actor, you can have average acting skills, but you can’t have average looks.

To put it simply, costume dramas focus on appearance.

No matter how good your acting skills are, it’s useless if you don’t have good looks.

Li Yuchun is not a beautiful woman. To be honest, her natural appearance is just that. Even with the help of makeup, headgear, wigs, and ancient costumes, her appearance is only about 70 points.

Just compare it with Zhou Xun and you will know how big the gap is.

Zhou Xun also dressed as a man in this drama, but he looks very handsome, his facial features are very photogenic, and there is a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

Another female character is Su Huirong played by Fan Xiaoxuan. In ancient costume, she has a good figure, beautiful face, and exudes charm.

Gui Lunmei plays a Tatar with dark skin, wild clothing, and a wild beauty.

Li Yuchun is just ordinary and has no special features.

So Qin Chuan said that she was not suitable for ancient costumes, she could not play the role of a beautiful woman, and she did not look like a female knight.

“What about your acting skills? Can you make a living from this?” Long Danni asked.

She had watched the replay and knew that Li Yuchun was indeed not suitable for ancient costumes, but as long as she had the acting skills, there were many roles she could play and there was still a chance for transformation.

“Difficult.” Qin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette and said calmly, “You watched the replay just now. She is too new to it. She was just reading the lines according to the script.”

“Then do you have any good suggestions?”

“I suggest she focus on singing instead of acting.”

Qin Chuan was not making this up. He had heard Li Yuchun’s songs and they were indeed good. She wrote the lyrics and composed the music for many of them herself, and she had a high musical talent.

If you continue to study hard, you will be able to reach the forefront of the Chinese music scene in the future.

Looking back, seeing Long Danni in deep thought, Qin Chuan said, “I was just talking casually. I don’t get involved in the company’s affairs. You have the final say on how to decide.”

He was really afraid that Long Danni would cut off Li Yuchun’s career as an actor, and if Li Yuchun made a scene, the company would push him out to take the blame.

Long Danni forced a smile and said, “Don’t worry, I will think about it carefully. Let’s wait until the movie is released and see the market feedback before making a decision.”

Of course, she hopes to cultivate one more all-round artist.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel regretful if I can’t cultivate it.

“By the way, the New Year’s Eve concert is coming up soon. Come over a day early for rehearsal. I’ll arrange for the crew to take a day off for you.”

This time she came, in addition to seeing Li Yuchun’s performance, she also took the opportunity to inform Qin Chuan to participate in this year’s Xiangnan Satellite TV New Year’s Eve concert.

Liu Dehua has confirmed that he will not come this year, and Zhang Xueyou cannot be invited either. Qin Chuan is considered the most popular artist after the Four Heavenly Kings.

His participation is a guarantee of ratings, and no one can be without him.

Qingluo squinted his eyes, took a puff of cigarette, frowned and said, “Okay, I understand.”

Now he really doesn’t want to attend these parties as it wastes time.

With his fame, he no longer needs to rely on shows to increase his popularity.

“Sister Long, please add another singing program for me. I’ll bring someone with me. Forget it. I’ll change my program to a duet.”

Since he had to go there anyway, Qin Chuan planned to bring an artist from the company.

He doesn’t need this kind of fame, but the newcomers in the company do.

It is possible that just this one song can greatly increase the traffic of newcomers and save them a few years of hard work.

“No problem.” Long Danni nodded.

Considering Qin Chuan’s status, this kind of face should be given.

Besides, that’s how the entertainment industry works. You help me, I help you, and we are all in the same circle, so we help each other when we need help.

After finishing the work here, Long Danni invited Qin Chuan and Li Yuchun to dinner in the evening. The three of them chatted about family matters and work, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

After returning to the hotel, Qin Chuan called Qinchao Entertainment and asked Jinlian to arrange for the artists to go to Xiangnan TV’s New Year’s Eve party.

It’s December now, and this will only happen in a few days.

……

There are still two days until New Year’s Eve.

Qin Chuan stayed at the hotel arranged by Xiangnan TV.

In the afternoon, he called Zhao Liying and they went to the International Convention and Exhibition Center for rehearsal.

“Brother Chuan, I didn’t expect you to bring me here. When Sister Jinlian called me, I couldn’t believe it.”

Zhao Liying, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, said excitedly.

The artist contract she signed with the company was not long ago, and she is currently a newcomer among newcomers, with no acting skills and no popularity.

Qin Chuan didn’t bring Liu Sisi to such a good thing as the New Year’s Eve concert, but took her instead.

Pie in the sky.

Qin Chuan didn’t say anything, but just said: “Work hard, I’m optimistic about you.”

Zhao Liying became even more excited and her face turned red.

I didn’t expect the boss to appreciate her so much. (End of this chapter)
