Chapter 719
Joining the cast of "A Comeback from Desperate Circumstances"
The director's tricks are more numerous than you can imagine.
After joining the film crew, the staff did not take her to a place to eat first, but took her directly to the filming location.
Jinli had never been to this film and television city before.
Moreover, even if you've been there before, each film crew has a different setup and different terrain.
The scene that the crew happened to be filming was quite intense, and Jinli couldn't help but feel her blood boiling after watching it for a while.
The way "Counterattack" was filmed is very different from that of "Dawn".
Dawn leans more towards an industrialized model, which puts actors' performances without props to a great test.
Although "Desperate Counterattack" also tests players without physical objects, it provides a lot of assistance, and there is still a complete storyline.
Moreover, the production crew kept the sound effects on throughout the entire production to constantly engage the actors' emotions.
The assistant director observed her expression, felt it was about right, and asked:
"Why don't you go up and give it a try?"
Jinli looked over: "Huh? I don't have that kind of scene, do I?"
Assistant Director: "No, but you can experience it. Our crew is very humane."
Jinli thought for a moment and shook her head: "Forget it, my character is a complete weakling. If I like the feeling of fighting, I'm afraid I won't be able to portray him well."
She plays the male lead's ideal woman, named "Xiao Yue".
This is a code name.
People born in the apocalypse have no names, only code names.
The code name is related to one's abilities, so that people can remember those abilities.
Xiao Yue is as her name suggests; she has a strong ability to perceive things under the moonlight, but her constitution is an extreme one.
His physical condition was very poor, but his senses were exceptionally sharp.
Therefore, many readers believe that her perception was obtained at the cost of an extremely weak physique.
But she is also very capable.
Some readers believe she is the goddess of the night, capable of anything once night falls.
Her senses are incredibly sharp in the dark, and even more so under moonlight, when they are the strongest in the world.
Because under the moonlight, although she has no fighting power, she can be resurrected an infinite number of times.
Simply put, it's unkillable.
But during the day, she is incredibly vulnerable and can be easily injured.
Similarly, one can also die quickly.
The author designed her with extreme abilities and an extreme physique, all for the purpose of sacrificing her from the very beginning.
Such a role is specifically prepared for sacrifice.
Because the character is so well-developed, his sacrifice resonates with a large number of readers.
The moment Xiaoyue sacrificed herself was considered by readers to be the most heartbreaking moment.
If you torture your readers too much, you'll easily lose followers.
Xiao Yue's character is especially popular. If she were to die, a large number of book fans would probably give up reading the book.
But this author is also very good at writing.
He allowed Xiaoyue's life to remain at its best moment, making a sacrifice to save the male protagonist and pushing him from naivety to maturity.
When readers all believed she was completely dead—
Even if you place her body under the strongest moonlight, the wounds may heal, but she will never wake up again.
The author takes a surprising turn, suddenly writing about a magical herb that appeared in a certain place.
This herb has only one ability: "awakening".
Therefore, the author designed a resurrection storyline.
The reason why the male protagonist becomes stronger and stronger is largely due to his search for medicinal herbs.
With this thought supporting him, the male protagonist's belief will become more steadfast, and he will also have the motivation to become stronger.
The plot is clichéd, but readers love it.
This is because it ignites not only the protagonist's hope but also the readers' hope. Therefore, Xiao Yue in the book is strong in perception but weak in combat ability.
It's impossible to make rapid progress, move in and out quickly, and wield weapons like this group...
The assistant director was pleased rather than angry when he heard her reason for refusing.
Jinli gets into character very quickly; she's really grasped the essence of the character.
However, if he wanted Jinli to start work today, he naturally had his own methods.
So the assistant director tricked Jinli into going somewhere else.
On the other side, here with Gu Cheng.
He was filming, immersed in his role, when he caught a glimpse of Jinli out of the corner of his eye.
He was taken aback.
However, because the production crew had a tight schedule, Gu Cheng didn't have the mind to think too much and continued to immerse himself in acting.
By the time he finished filming his scenes for the day, it was already 6 p.m.
He looked at his assistant and asked, "Has Jinli arrived yet?"
This assistant had been with Gu Cheng for several years and knew about his relationship with Jin Li.
Celebrities can't hide their relationships from their assistants, and assistants are often the people who know the most about their celebrities.
Even agents may not fully understand their artists, but assistants do.
The true personality, scandals, and dirt on celebrities are all revealed by their assistants.
Therefore, when a celebrity's assistant reaches a certain level, such as having worked for several years and knowing a great deal, the celebrity will treat them differently from ordinary assistants, and their salary will increase.
But these are all assistants who are favored by celebrities.
If you're just a regular assistant who carries things and does odd jobs, don't expect a high salary.
Because of the celebrities' schedules, these assistants are often busier than ordinary workers, and their salaries are not high.
The assistant not only knows where Jinli is, but also what Jinli is doing now.
The assistant said, "The makeup artist is doing a makeup test on Jinli. If all goes well, we can start filming Jinli's scenes tonight."
Gu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "She was also lured here by the assistant director?"
The assistant nodded: "Yes, the assistant director even personally supervised the makeup artist, saying that he had to give her the most suitable makeup."
At this point, Gu Cheng didn't even bother to eat. "I'll go take a look."
The assistant said somewhat hesitantly, "Brother, this isn't a good idea. This is a film set; you need to avoid any appearance of impropriety."
Gu Cheng said openly, "She is my female lead, and I have to be satisfied with her image, otherwise I can't portray that feeling."
assistant:……
Okay, okay, whatever you say is right.
Gu Cheng quickly arrived at Jin Li's place and found that her makeup trial had reached the final stage.
Everyone else was very satisfied, and the assistant director's face lit up when he saw him.
"Gu Cheng, you're here. I was just about to send someone to find you. What do you think of this makeup? This is the makeup you wore when you first met Xiao Yue. Doesn't it give off a 'white moonlight' vibe?"
Gu Cheng thought to herself, "I only looked at their faces when we first met, and I didn't pay much attention to their clothes."
Jinli's makeup was beautiful, but Gu Cheng thought it was a bit too heavy.
Her skin is so good that she doesn't need heavy makeup to cover it up.
So he said, "It's too strong; a lighter touch suits her better."
"The 'white moonlight' is just a feeling, a feeling of love at first sight, not about how beautiful she actually is."
Jinli thought for a moment and agreed, "Yes, let's change the makeup."
Seeing that both actors were very serious, the assistant director happily said, "Okay, let's change the makeup."
Gu Cheng then said, "Jinli, you haven't eaten anything yet, have you? Go and eat something first, otherwise you won't have the energy tonight."
Before Jinli could speak, her assistant Chen Qin said, "She didn't eat. She came straight to the film set after getting off the plane and hasn't rested at all."
Gu Cheng looked at the assistant director: "Shall we go eat first?"
The assistant director said awkwardly, "Okay, let's eat first." (End of Chapter)
