Chapter 109 The Abandoned Movie King
After Yi Yunyang's look was completed, Wei Anquan was very satisfied. He looked at Yi Yunyang in front of him and secretly admired in his heart: "This boy is really born beautiful!" Yi Yunyang has delicate facial features, clear eyes, fair skin, and exudes a fresh and refined atmosphere. Wearing a black and shiny long hair headgear and ancient costume, he looks more graceful, elegant and noble, just like an ancient prince.
Wei Anquan couldn't help but sigh: "This child looks exactly like Ji Jinshang!" He felt that Yi Yunyang not only looked like Ji Jinshang, but also had a very similar temperament. He believed that if Yi Yunyang could perform normally, the role of the young Li Zhi would be secure.
However, Wei Anquan was still a little worried. He looked at Yi Yunyang, frowned and said, "The only thing I'm worried about is that the age difference between him and Zhao Yilin is a bit big. Will it feel awkward when acting together?" He knew that Zhao Yilin was more than ten years older than Yi Yunyang, but he hoped that the emotional scenes between the two in the play would not make people feel awkward. Especially in the play, Li Zhi had some intention of taking Wu Yi by force.
In order to find out the answer earlier, Wei Anquan decided to ask the makeup artist to change Zhao Yilin's makeup to match Yi Yunyang's. After a careful dressing, Zhao Yilin's image was completely renewed. Her makeup became more fresh and natural, which complemented Yi Yunyang's style. When Yi Yunyang saw Zhao Yilin's new look, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes again. He couldn't help but praise: "Wow, sister, you look better like this!"
Zhao Yilin smiled and replied: "Thank you for the compliment, brother. I like your look too."
Wei Anquan didn't expect the effect to be so good. The two looked like a sister-brother relationship, and it made people feel very comfortable and natural, making the audience willing to believe that such a Wu Yi could indeed win the heart of the young Li Zhi. He couldn't help but applaud and praised: "Wow, why do they feel like a golden boy and a jade girl."
His praise made Zhao Yilin and Yi Yunyang feel embarrassed, and they both lowered their heads.
Ji Jinchang was feeling jealous, but she didn't know what she was jealous about. She was the one who proposed the suggestion and asked to find the young actors. Now that the effect was good, shouldn't she be happy? Why was she jealous? Was there something wrong?
Assistant Director Leng Qi also came over and exclaimed when he saw Yi Yunyang and Zhao Yilin, who had finished their makeup: "Wow, they are such a good match. Yilin is more than ten years older than her, but you can't tell at all. How about we shoot their scenes first, so that we don't have to change the looks anymore after the makeup is done?"
Wei Anquan also agreed, "I think it's okay, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yi, are you okay with it?"
Yi Yunyang naturally agreed, "Director Wei, I can do it."
Zhao Yilin didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "I can do it, Director Wei."
Wei Anquan was very excited, "Okay, let's shoot the first meeting scene first, the production manager..." He trotted all the way to find the production manager to prepare for the scene.
Zhao Yilin and Yi Yunyang looked at each other and followed. Leng Qi also followed with a smile, leaving only Ji Jinshang in the dressing room.
He looked at his costume, not knowing whether to take it off or not, and muttered aggrievedly: "They all ran away, just abandoning me like this, right?"
Because the scene was simple, the scene was quickly prepared. On a winding corridor, Wu Yi, who had just left the palace after serving the emperor, unexpectedly met the Ninth Prince who had come to pay his respects.
Talented woman Wu Yi was of low status and humble position, so she could only stand aside silently and make way for the Ninth Prince. Normally, concubines in the harem should not accidentally meet the princes, grandchildren and ministers of the previous dynasty in the corridor, but the Ninth Prince's situation was special.
Because his mother died when he was young, the emperor loved him very much and brought him up personally. This special treatment gave him the opportunity to enter and leave the emperor's bedroom at any time without being summoned. Even now that he has grown up to be a handsome young man, he can still enter and leave the palace freely.
Zhao Yilin, wearing a pink palace dress, stood at the side of the corridor, keeping quiet and concentrating. Yi Yunyang walked through the corridor with his hands behind his back, led by a young eunuch.
He walked to Zhao Yilin and stopped. His eyes were full of amazement, "Hey, who are you? You are so beautiful, how come I have never seen you before? I heard that my father is going to help me choose a concubine recently, it can't be you?"
Zhao Yilin cautiously took a step back to avoid him. It turned out to be the prince. According to ethics, she was his concubine mother and should avoid suspicion.
The eunuch next to Yi Yunyang was so stunned by the two people's engrossed performance that he forgot to reply. Wei Anquan called a halt, "Cut, why don't you say anything, you who plays the eunuch? Yilin and Yunyang both performed well. Yunyang's astonished eyes and Yilin's stepping back were really great."
Zhao Yilin returned to normal after stopping filming, but the amazement in Yi Yunyang's eyes was still there. He really thought she was so beautiful and she was not acting.
Wei Anquan asked the actor who played the young eunuch to recite his lines once, "What happened to you just now? Didn't you remember the lines well? Say it again for me."
"Your Highness, you are mistaken. This is Consort Wu. She is your concubine's mother, not the concubine chosen by the Emperor for your Highness."
"Isn't this good and smooth? Do it again and don't forget the words again."
The actor who played the young eunuch nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. Director, please give me another chance."
Wei Anquan directed everyone to get back in position, "Lighting and photography are in place, makeup should be done, we will do it again."
The second take went smoothly, and Wei Anquan said to Leng Qi happily, "That's great! Where did you find such an actor? He performed well!"
Leng Qi was very proud to receive Wei Anquan's praise, "I was found by the acting school. Thank you for the compliment, director."
"But he's only sixteen, and he's already been admitted to art school?"
"I heard he was specially recruited. His grades are very good. Originally, freshmen were not allowed to take acting jobs outside. I negotiated for a long time before the school gave him special permission to come."
Wei Anquan was not stingy with his praise, "Good boy, you will definitely have a bright future!"
Hearing Wei Anquan's praise, Leng Qi was happier than if he were praised himself. An assistant director with vision must have a bright future.
The filming stopped, Zhao Yilin and Yi Yunyang stood there without moving, waiting for the director's next arrangement. Wei Anquan's arrangement was to film a flirting scene.
Zhao Yilin was a little surprised, "Director Wei, are we going to shoot that scene? Xiao Yi and I are not familiar with each other yet, how about we shoot other scenes?"
Wei Anquan squinted at her, "Xiao Yi didn't say anything, why are you worried? Besides, every scene you have is very intimate, right? It's almost the same no matter which one you shoot."
Zhao Yilin thought about it and it seemed so. She and the young Li Zhi didn't have many scenes, but they were indeed very intimate scenes. Xiao Yi was a professional actor, and so was she, so she had to have confidence.
When Zhao Yilin raised her eyes, she saw Yi Yunyang looking at her with a half-smile in his eyes, and she immediately regained her composure. She couldn't be worse than a little brat.
