Chapter 250: Playing Against the Play
Wen Li moisturized her throat, covered her thermos, packed her belongings, and went back to the hotel to rest.
The second scene was shot at seven in the evening, Wen Li had dinner and waited on the set to start filming her scene.
Before shooting, the assistant director called out to Wen Li, saying that the male number one wants to play opposite her.
The focus of the second scene was Wen Li’s scene with the male number one.
Male No. 1 was sitting under the shade of a tree with a matzah, holding a script in his hand, and from afar, he looked over and mumbled something.
The man’s role is called Lu word, early years with a puppet show “fierce generals” popular, and now this play is he in order to return the director’s love to take over.
Lu Lyric’s character in the play is the X-party who investigates Qin Wu’s death, and is also Qin Yao’s high school classmate.
Wen Li’s first sight of Lu Lyric gives her a feeling of detached politeness.
Lu Lyric was a head taller than Wen Li and stood on Wen Li’s right side, setting off Wen Li’s petite and thin appearance.
Assistant director Song Yujie introduced the two to each other and said, “Everyone is here, let’s pair up.”
Wen Li and Lu Zi were pairing up for the second scene of the night, which was also Qin Yao and Cheng Jun’s first meeting after graduating from high school.
Wen Li was picking up Lu Lyric’s scene, and always felt that the other party was acting like a flowing river and was too natural, causing Lu Lyric to add a lot of pressure on her, and exerting herself too much during the scene pairing.
At the end of the scene, the assistant director took the script to Wen Li to say the scene, “this place to perform a little more convergence, you have not seen for many years, each other unfamiliar, to maintain a little distance, you imagine a classmate who has not seen for many years, and still unfamiliar classmates, you can all of a sudden familiar warm up? Understand?”
Wen Li listened sideways, offering her own insights from time to time.
After the director’s group debugged the equipment well, they sent a young man over to shoot the scene.
The second scene was filmed in the lobby of the X Bureau, Qin Yao came over after work to find out about the kids and ran into her high school classmate Cheng Jun.
Wen Li wore a haze blue sweater with a pair of beige suit pants, and stood in the lobby of Bureau X with a black coat on her left hand, waiting for the police officers to inform her about the ins and outs of the child’s beating, and the child’s future stay and departure.
Wearing a police uniform and holding a report, Lu Zi confronted Wen Li in the lobby of X Bureau.
Lu word and Wen Li glanced at each other, nothing fluctuating in the bottom of their eyes, “Qin Yao?”
Wen Li nodded her head and politely spoke, “Hello, Comrade X. I received a call from the police saying that there was a result in the matter of the beaten child, so I came over to understand the situation.”
Lu Lyric played Cheng Jun, a police officer with a strong sense of justice, and he recognized Qin Yao as his high school classmate the first time he saw her.
Without any expression on his face, he said the results of the investigation in a business-like manner, “The child was originally a child of an orphanage, and was later adopted by an old man, who died unexpectedly within a few years, leaving the child unattended, and after a few days of starvation, he ran to a restaurant and stole the wallet of one of the guests.
The customer was a gangster and beat him up. That’s how it happened, when the child’s body recovers, we’ll take the child to the orphanage, and the gang of punks were arrested by us.”
After saying that, he sighed, “The child’s life in the orphanage is not easy, children of the same age will take advantage of the fact that no one is there to secretly bully him, but this is the best way for now.”
Wen Li’s brows tightened, and after a long time, she returned, “Well, thank you Officer Lu.”
Wen Li said her thanks, squeezing the shoulder strap of her blue purse slightly loose as she turned to leave the lobby of X Bureau.
Lu Lyric hesitated for half a second, rushed at Wen Li who walked to the door and shouted, “Wait ……”
Wen Li twisted her head in disbelief and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
Lu word spoke anxiously, “Wait for me to change clothes.”
“Click, over.” The director called a halt.
Wen Li couldn’t help but hold her breath the moment she heard “click”, and then her whole body relaxed when she heard “pass”.
The director’s eyes light up, can not help but praise Wen Li, “good yo Wen Li, I thought you have no acting skills, it seems that the acting skills have improved not a little bit, and then put in more effort not to let me down.”
Wen Li said with a speechless face, “Director, your way of praising people is quite unique.”
If there was a director who praised Wen Li’s improved acting skills before, it was definitely the director who was talking nonsense with his eyes open.
The staff who watched Wen Li’s acting at the scene were disdainful and even mocked Wen Li’s bad acting skills before the start of the shooting, and after watching it, the expressions of all the people present were all astonished.
Compared to Wen Li’s acting skills in the past, her acting skills now have improved not a little bit.
Some of the people who are observant, went up to Wen Li to get close to her and say good words.
Wen Li said without moving her lips, “Where where.” Attitude humble, let people can not imagine that the former arrogant and domineering Miss will one day know how to be modest, treat people kindly.
The second scene was shot at night, the lighting requirements were extremely high, waiting for the lights outside the X Bureau to be debugged.
The second half of the second scene also officially began.
Lu word change off the police uniform, outside wearing a black coat, inside with a gray sweater, standing in front of the X Bureau.
The height difference between Lu and Wen Li was a head’s distance, and Wen Li tilted her head to look into Lu’s black eyes, “Officer Lu, what are you looking for me for?”
The night of autumn, the weather is getting cooler.
Lu word exhaled a mouthful of hot air, rubbing his hands over his palms, walking down a step, “Walk and talk.”
Wen Li hung her head and walked down the steps one step at a time, the two of them leaving the X Bureau one after the other.
Walking on the bustling streets, Lu Lyrics asked in a relaxed manner, “Qin Yao, do you still have contact with your high school classmates?”
Wen Li raised her eyes in dismay, “What?”
Her expression was too shocked, giving the impression that she really couldn’t remember him as a person.
Lu Lyric’s chest let out a muffled laugh and said in a cloudy voice, “Also, forgetting is normal.”
When she went to school, Qin Yao was the top student in the school, all day long her mind was thinking about her studies, not noticing him was a normal thing.
Cheng Jun was a bratty, naughty student in the eyes of the school’s teachers, who was often asked to be a parent for something and became a regular visitor to the principal’s office.
Wen Li paused in her steps, raised her head, and looked straight into Lu Zi’s eyes with a puzzled look in her eyes, as if she was pondering the meaning of the words.
Wen Li’s eyes with puzzlement, finally trying to recall still can not remember, revealing an awkward but not rude smile, “Sorry.”
Lu Lyric waved his hand awkwardly and laughed, “Why! Normal.”
The director behind the monitor, nodded and shouted, “Stop.”
In late fall, the weather in Hengdian was already cold, Wen Li touched her frozen red nose, took the thermos cup in Ling Ling’s hand, and drank a few mouthfuls to warm her body.
The director went up to the two main actors, explaining the details that needed to be dealt with in their scenes.
