Chapter 115 Xi Zan and Di Shen
Because of Qin Xi's "high moral character", the funds for "The Story of Yan Qing" were more abundant. Director Xie had money, so in order to make the character of Yan Qing more perfect, he decided to add a few scenes of fighting in the previous life. As the only female commander of Feng State, Lan fought on the battlefield and led the troops, which further highlighted that she was as brave as men in her previous life.
In this life, Yan Qing finally went to war as a civil official and military advisor, but that was just a trick to deceive people. In the end, he went into battle with dozens of cavalrymen to lead the enemy general into a corner, showing his divine power, piercing the enemy general's throat with a long spear, and completely destroying the enemy army. He led Fengguo to turn defeat into victory.
So whether it was Zhan Lan in the previous life or Yan Qing in this life, they were both excellent horsemen and masters of spears. It was true that Qin Xi could ride a horse, but he was definitely not an expert. The spear was something that he had never touched before or in this life.
In order to make the character of Yan Qing more vivid and real, Qin Xi resolutely decided to join the crew to train in horse riding and spearmanship a month in advance, striving to be more outstanding and eye-catching in the grand scene where all the martial arts brothers personally took part.
The audience must not be given the illusion that this female general, this elegant scholar, is actually disguised as a delicate little girl.
Qin Xi had fought very hard to get the role, so even if he had to endure hardships every day, it was sweet. After receiving the notice, Qin Xi excitedly packed up and joined the crew with Lili.
But soon he suffered a "heavy blow" from director Xie.
Director Xie has never taken his eyes off Qin Xi since he saw her. Director Xie frowned and looked Qin Xi up and down.
"I asked you to gain 10 pounds, but why do I feel like you've gained more than 10 pounds now?"
Qin Xi was shocked when she heard this. This was the first time she was attacked because of her weight since she entered the industry.
Qin Xi felt very aggrieved, "Director, I weighed 88 kilograms before, but now I only weigh 98 kilograms! I control my weight very accurately, I can get on the scale now to prove my innocence!"
Director Xie said doubtfully, "Really? Why doesn't it look like that to me? You look a lot rounder."
Qin Xi suddenly felt like she had received 10,000 critical hits, and felt that she was more wronged than Dou E. She really didn't eat and drink to her heart's content. Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty. It should be... not...
(In fact, Qin Xi was really wronged. The last time Director Xie had an impression of Qin Xi was at the "Honghu Award" ceremony. At that time, in order to look good in a dress, Qin Xi only ate one cucumber a day and starved for three days...)
Director Xie gave the final conclusion, "Maybe I made a mistake in my judgment at the time. I didn't expect you to be like this after gaining ten pounds? Sigh..."
Qin Xi: ...Do you have to be so direct? !
"Although Yan Qing is a woman dressed as a man and cannot be too thin, she is carrying a blood feud after all, so her entire body must be very thin and skinny. You definitely can't be like this now, you still need to lose more weight."
Qin Xi burst into tears in her heart, gaining weight and then losing weight, are you kidding me?
Gao Feng, the chief martial arts instructor next to him, is a veteran of Yuanjing Film and Television. He had worked with Qin Xi before in "Lone Eagle". Because Qin Xi is very smart and insightful in action scenes, Gao Feng likes Qin Xi very much.
Gao Feng was quite experienced. He saw through the truth at a glance and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Director, there is absolutely no problem with Xiaoxi's weight. It may be that her body fat is a little high, so she doesn't look tight enough, but these are all minor issues. The action training we designed for her is completely intense enough. In addition, Xiaoxi has a good foundation. I guarantee that after a month, Xiaoxi's body lines will be more obvious, and she will achieve the effect of being thin but not weak!"
Finally, after Qin Xi repeatedly assured him that he would train hard and reach the standard as soon as possible, Director Xie nodded in satisfaction and moved on to the next topic.
Qin Xi is also considered a half producer because of her "technical investment". She is also the heroine of "The Story of Yan Qing" and can be said to be the soul of the whole play. For some specific roles, Director Xie still needs to seek Qin Xi's opinion.
When Qin Xi heard this, he became very frightened.
"Director, what kind of big shot am I? Can I participate in the casting? I am just a diligent little actor. How can I take on such a delicate job? Please don't flatter me too much. I completely trust your vision and will listen to you in everything!"
Director Xie rolled his eyes at Qin Xi. "Now the media is saying that you are the top star of the era who has surpassed the four little beauties. Is this the courage of a top star? Let me ask you, why are you so scared!"
Director Xie said sharply, "Why? How can I leave the casting work entirely to you? How can I trust you so much? I have already decided on the main roles..."
Qin Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "Who are they? Director, can you tell me more~"
Director Xie was quickly led astray by Qin Xi, and when he talked about the actors chosen for "The Biography of Yan Qing", his eyes became much gentler when he looked at Qin Xi.
"Thanks to saving you this huge sum of money, our crew has a lot more money, and we have a wider range of choices when it comes to casting..."
With a proud look on his face, he said, "Guess who I have chosen to be the Emperor Zhan Yuan?"
Seeing Director Xie's satisfied expression, he must be a big shot. Although Qin Xi already had the answer in his mind, he still looked very sincere and asked eagerly.
"Who is it?"
Director Xie was quite satisfied with Qin Xi's reaction and laughed.
"It's the veteran actor who defeated Di Shen twice in the 'Honghu Award' and was just defeated by Di Shen this time - Xi Zan!"
"Wow!"
Qin Xi's expression was very exaggerated, I was so surprised! The director even invited Xi Zan, how amazing!
Director Xie was once again pleased with Qin Xi's reaction and talked freely.
"When I first got the script for [The Story of Yan Qing], I felt that the role of Zhan Yuan was very important as both the male protagonist and the villain. He is the foundation of Yan Qing's revenge. If Zhan Yuan fails, then [The Story of Yan Qing] will not stand!"
"As soon as I read the script, I substituted the face of Zhan Yuan with Xi Zan. Xi Zan's image and temperament are very suitable for the emperor sixteen years later. His acting skills are also enough to show the emperor's bright and sunny appearance, but sinister and suspicious psychological state in his heart. So Xi Zan is my first choice!"
"But after all, this is a drama with a female lead, and it's unlikely that an actor of Xi Zan's caliber would be able to play the female lead, so I just handed him a script and gave it a try. Xi Zan hasn't responded yet, and I had already given up hope..."
Director Xie then said excitedly, "Who would have thought that shortly after the 'Honghu Award' was presented, Xi Zan's team actually called and said that Xi Zan agreed to take on [The Biography of Yan Qing]. Do you think you were surprised? Are you surprised?"
Qin Xi nodded wildly.
Director Xie shook his head and sighed, "After all, he is a Grand Slam Best Actor. The situation is different. The competition is based on roles, not scenes! But I think it's not just that. Why didn't he agree earlier or later, but agreed after the 'Honghu Award' was presented?"
Without waiting for Qin Xi to respond, Director Xie gave the answer first, "I think he was defeated by Di Shen this time and was hit hard. He wanted to experience the guidance of Di Shen, the hero behind the scenes - that is, my guidance. Tell me, it is rare for such a successful actor to be so humble and ask for advice..."
Qin Xi tried hard to control the corners of her mouth that wanted to rise, and she couldn't control her expression even after thinking about the sad things a hundred times.
Qin Xi wanted to say, Xi Zan had pressed Di Shen to the ground three times in his previous life, but he still accepted the role of Yan Qing. He might just like the depth and plasticity of Zhan Yuan. It has nothing to do with failure and frustration, and wanting your advice...
"So I also invited Di Shen to make a guest appearance, playing the great general who was instructed by Zhan Lan and became the most famous general of Feng State sixteen years later. I believe that the rivalry between Xi Zan and Di Shen will surely create some wonderful sparks!"
Director Xie showed a rare smile, obviously very satisfied with his decision.
Qin Xi was stunned and gave a thumbs up.
I really didn’t expect that there would be such an episode in “The Biography of Yan Qing” in this life?
Director, you really know how to play!
