Chapter 207: Undercurrents of struggle, veteran actors

After worshipping Mazu, Jin Li looked even more radiant, and her spirit was very good.

Gu Cheng originally planned to scan a shared bicycle to carry Jin Li back. He felt they had walked a lot of roads.

But Jin Li waved her hand and said heartily: "No need, this sea breeze is comfortable. Let's walk back along the coast!"

Gu Cheng looked at Jin Li for a few seconds, finally paused on her face full of smiles, and compromised:

"How about this, I'll scan a shared bicycle, and I'll push it. If we get tired halfway, we'll ride the bicycle back."

Jin Li nodded: "Okay."

The two walked back again. Fine sand occasionally drilled into the gaps of their shoes, making their feet a bit itchy. Jin Li took off her shoes directly.

Her white feet stepped on the beach one deep and one shallow. She specifically stepped where the waves could hit. The sand here was the softest and finest, and wouldn't stick to her feet. Occasionally, the waves would hit her calves.

Gu Cheng followed behind her, noticing her calves hit by the waves, which were even more eye-catching than the crystal clear reflection of the sun on the sea surface, and couldn't help but darken his eyes.

He walked a few more steps forward, walking side by side with Jin Li, specifically walking on the innermost side, lest she walk deeper inside.

The poor shared bicycle hadn't exerted its effect yet, but was first soaked by the sea water shallowly time and time again.

However, the quality of shared bicycles these years was excellent, and there was nowhere they couldn't go.

Returning to the set, the two ate a box lunch and walked to the hotel.

Gu Cheng and Jin Li were in the same hotel, as usual opened a presidential suite, and were neighbors with Jin Li.

The two agreed to do questions together later.

After Gu Cheng packed up, opened the door and walked toward Jin Li, he found Ren Zhangtao knocking on the door outside the corridor.

The two looked at each other, as if they could see the sparks of threat in each other's eyes.

Jin Li opened the door and was slightly stunned: "Ren Zhangtao? You came over to—"

Ren Zhangtao said grinningly: "I came over to ask what you like to eat. I'm holding a small wrap-up banquet tomorrow and am collecting the menu."

People were already at the door, so it wasn't good not to let them in, not to mention Gu Cheng was also here.

Jin Li let them in to sit for a while first, opened the door directly, and didn't worry about being photographed at all.

After pouring them a glass of water each, Jin Li said: "I don't have any taboos. I can eat anything. It's by the sea here, so eating seafood is very good. I heard the crab paste is very fat recently. Just order a few sea crabs to eat."

Speaking of eating crabs, the hairy crabs in Chengyang Lake were also very famous, but these were river crabs, different from sea crabs, each with its own taste.

Some people didn't eat river crabs, river shrimp, or river fish, thinking they had a muddy smell, while sea ones didn't have this smell.

It's just that the current ocean wasn't necessarily very safe.

Ren Zhangtao took out his phone and recorded it, then looked at Gu Cheng and asked what he wanted to eat.

Gu Cheng followed suit: "Since Jin Li eats sea crabs, then I'll eat sea shrimp. Bring a few lobsters."

Jin Li couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You are not polite at all!"

Gu Cheng also smiled with his brows and eyes: "Believe Old Ren wouldn't want me to be too polite."

The two talked familiarly, not seeing any strangeness at all, just like old friends who had known each other for a long time, making Ren Zhangtao look a bit chest-painful.

Ren Zhangtao smiled and said: "Yes, no need to be polite. It's by the sea here, and seafood is cheap. We should also adapt to local conditions when eating."

After finishing the menu, Ren Zhangtao didn't move his butt, wanting to stay and chat with Jin Li for a while.

They were acting in the same set, and as long as they wanted to find a topic, they could find it.

Ren Zhangtao just said the word "I," but was covered by Gu Cheng's voice. "Jin Li, which subject do you want to do today?"

Jin Li searched her bag and randomly drew a math 5-3.

"Do math."

Gu Cheng looked at the name. It was a practice book for the first semester of the second year of high school. He said: "Before doing it, I'll randomly ask a math question. You do it, how about that?"

Jin Li said generously: "Okay, I'll challenge it and see what difficult problem you want to ask."

Gu Cheng smiled: "It's very simple. Just treat it as practicing your hands. The question is, what is the intercept on the y-axis of the line 2x+3y+5=0, and what is the slope?"

Jin Li's mental arithmetic was usually not very good. She took out draft paper to calculate and quickly wrote down the numbers.

Solution

Let x=0, then 3y+5=0

∴y=-5/3

∴The intercept is -5/3

Ren Zhangtao stretched his neck and glanced at it. He could understand some, but this part of the knowledge was already very vague.

The intercept was calculated, and Jin Li quickly went to calculate the slope.

2x+3y+5=0

3y=-2x-5

y=-2/3x-5/3

∴The slope is: -2/3

She handed the draft paper over. "You see if the steps are correct."

Gu Cheng took it, just looked at the answer and said: "Correct. You have mastered this part of the knowledge very well. You can start learning the content of the next unit."

Jin Li's cheeks bulged with a dimple, and her mood was very good: "Do the final exam paper of this unit first. If the score is quite good, I will start learning the next unit tomorrow."

Learning is most afraid of no harvest.

The feeling of learning while steadily rising is really great.

She opened how many pages, and Gu Cheng also opened how many pages. The two had extreme tacit understanding, opened and immediately lowered their heads to do questions.

Ren Zhangtao sat on the side, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't find words to say.

It was impossible for him to learn from them and do questions!

Disturbing others when they are doing questions is a very impolite behavior.

He didn't want Jin Li to think he was impolite.

Ren Zhangtao left silently.

When he left, he specifically opened the door wider, only needing to stand in the corridor to see Gu Cheng and Jin Li.

"Although I know you are very happy after filming, what's going on with coming to me for a drink tonight?"

Ren Zhangtao went to Deng Zexu's place, didn't say a word, and started drinking, his mood depressed.

Deng Zexu: "It doesn't matter if you get drunk, but I still have to film tomorrow!"

Ren Zhangtao was silent for a while before saying: "I just feel..."

He muttered: "Am I too accomplished in nothing?"

Deng Zexu: "How to say?"

Ren Zhangtao sighed and drank another mouthful of beer: "No, I just feel that I don't have any career. No wonder no good girl can look at me."

Deng Zexu popped out a sentence: "Being able to rely on your father is also a kind of ability. Don't belittle yourself. How many people want to gnaw on the old but don't have the opportunity."

Ren Zhangtao: "I feel you are scolding me."

Deng Zexu laughed: "I am praising you. Believe me, I am sincere."

He turned his words: "Are you feeling a lot of pressure after seeing Gu Cheng?

It's not that I'm saying, what is there to compare between you and Gu Cheng? There are so many idol groups in the inner entertainment, and there is only one March Sky.

You are a newcomer who just entered the entertainment industry, comparing with an artist standing at the peak of idols, isn't it a bit overestimating your capabilities?"

Ren Zhangtao thought about it and drank another mouthful of wine: "What you said makes sense."

Deng Zexu glanced at him. "But you still don't understand. What's the use of drinking now? The key is to find the goal and then overtake."

Ren Zhangtao didn't understand: "Do I have to do questions like Gu Cheng? No, my knowledge has all been returned to the teacher."

Deng Zexu said frustratedly: "Jin Li is an actor. Wouldn't it be fine if you have some achievements in acting? You silly!"

That night, a big wind rose on the sea, and a big wave came to the shore.

The fishermen by the sea were worried about whether there would be a typhoon. Although the weather forecast said it had been calm recently, the weather at sea changed, which was unpredictable.

Gu Cheng stayed on the set for another morning, watching the veteran actors film the murder scenes, one scene after another, dazzling, and his eyes were too busy to look.

Director Deng was also too busy, temporarily requisitioning Gu Cheng as a helper, asking him to carry things. Gu Cheng helped very diligently, without any idol baggage at all.

Those veteran actors saw it in their eyes and couldn't help but nod secretly.

These old-school people pay attention to being down-to-earth, walking up step by step, and naturally can be respected and loved by the audience.

For those young people who became popular for no reason, they didn't have any disgust, but they wouldn't have any good feelings either.

If the young people were arrogant and took on airs because of their fame, the veteran actors wouldn't say a word to them.

In Gu Cheng, they could feel that this young man was truly diligent and eager to learn, running around on the set, and not angry when used as a handyman by the director.

The attitude was in place, and the veteran actors were also willing to teach some acting techniques.

They were old, and keeping their own set was useless, so it was better to cultivate more young people for the Film and Television Association.

It is no longer an era where you hide good things to death.

Some people want to pass on their knowledge and experience, but it's not necessarily that someone is willing to learn.

Jin Li had no scenes in the morning, so she stayed on the set to watch Gu Cheng run around, and also followed to watch the veteran actors' performance.

She was an actor and had important scenes in the afternoon, so the director didn't dare to command her.

After finishing, a group of people gathered for dinner at a nearby restaurant to hold a wrap-up banquet for Ren Zhangtao.

This meal was eaten very ordinarily, nothing happened, the atmosphere was harmonious, and a veteran actor specifically mentioned Gu Cheng.

"If you have anything you don't understand, you can call me."

"Haha, Little Gu might not necessarily know how to act, Old Pang can't wait to snatch people!" A veteran actor joked.

The person called "Old Pang" smiled and said: "Little Gu specifically came to visit the set and likes to watch us act. He must have the heart to enter the field. I am cultivating talents for the Film Association in advance."

Another veteran actor also said: "Little Gu has a good image and bright eyes. Whether it is a positive or negative role, he can act. It's a pity not to act."

Gu Cheng asked curiously: "Actually, someone always asked me to film before, but they were youth films like school hunks, so I wasn't very interested. Do you think it's good to film this type?"

Originally thought the veteran actors would oppose this type of film, after all, there was no depth, no plot, and all relied on faces.

But who knew these veteran actors agreed very much, saying one after another: "In the prime of life, why not film?"

"I also loved watching handsome men and beautiful women film when I was young."

"Film more when you can film now. Don't always think about making depth. When you are old and can't eat youth rice, then come to transform.

Some actors now eat youth rice when they are young, and want to eat youth rice when they are old. The wrinkles on their faces have come out, why bother?"

Ren Zhangtao said at this time: "Seniors, can I also act in this type of film?"

The veteran actors gave a vague answer: "If you want to act, you can act."

Ren Zhangtao's appearance is also handsome, but his bones are evil, suitable for playing that kind of role that is both positive and evil.

This is the first impression given by temperament, which is difficult to change.

Encountering a suitable character, he will perform very well.

But encountering one that doesn't suit him, I'm afraid he won't act well.

Not every actor has the ability to be ever-changing in the field of acting, unless the strength of acting can overcome the temperament emanating from the actor's bones.

But obviously, Ren Zhangtao currently doesn't have this ability.

Compared with Gu Cheng, he has already lost at the starting line in terms of appearance.

After sending Gu Cheng away, Jin Li immediately returned to the set to film.

The scene she filmed in the afternoon was a beach scene, which would appear as a memory in the movie.

The boundless sea surface, the surging waves hitting, Vera, played by Jin Li, struggled violently on the sea surface.

She wanted to swim inside, but the waves on the beach pushed her further and further away.

However, excellent swimming skills still let her swim to the little boy's side. The little boy reached out to her, and Vera was about to reach out.

At the critical moment, she suddenly stopped her movements and took her hand back.

She let the big waves push her further and further away, letting herself sink into the seabed.

She calculated the time, knowing that someone had already swum over.

Finally, Vera was saved, sitting on the coast wrapped in a blanket, looking at the dead little boy with sobbing eyes.

This was the scene in the movie, but when it was really filmed, it was very easy to be disturbed by uncertain sea breezes.

Jin Li had excellent swimming skills and could do many high-difficulty water movements, but the little boy found by the set was a bit timid and couldn't let go in the water.

Because of the boy, this filming was once stalled. Jin Li soaked in the water for at least three hours.

When she waited on the shore, Chen Qin brought several hot water bags over and said quietly:

"The director and set worker are doing psychological work for the little boy. This boy said he was found in a swimming team, and his swimming skills were very good. I didn't expect to see the surging waves of the sea and be so afraid."

Jin Li used a hot water bag to apply to her armpits, trying hard to keep her body temperature.

"This is normal. Before, I swam in a swimming pool, which cannot be compared with this boundless sea area."

Her voice was a bit trembling, her face looked a bit pale, and Chen Qin felt distressed.

When Sister Fang trained her, she said many times that Jin Li had a poor body and should take good care of her on the set.

Chen Qin hesitated and wanted to say something, when suddenly a male voice came: "Your face is too pale. If the little boy hasn't adjusted yet, it will be in vain to continue filming. I'll go tell the director to let you rest first."

Jin Li looked up and found it was Ren Zhangtao, a bit surprised.

"Aren't you wrapped up? Why are you still on the set?"

Ren Zhangtao replied: "Anyway, I have nothing to do when I go out, so I want to stay on the set first and see if there is anything I can help with."

He turned and was about to leave: "I'll tell the director now."

Jin Li immediately stopped him. "No need, wait a little longer. After filming for so long, the little actor also wants to film well. Give him a little more time."

Ren Zhangtao looked at her with some worry: "But your body?"

Jin Li smiled, her clear eyes showing a warmth: "Don't worry, I can hold on. I believe the little boy can film very well next."

As for why she believed.

That was naturally seen from physiognomy.

Only one step away from success, Jin Li didn't want to drag it to tomorrow. ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
