Chapter 776: A Shura field of three people, how should you respond?

Jin Li's switching between "literary and martial" and "active and static" conquered those actors in the crew who were unconvinced by her.

As for the rumors about Jin Li in the crew, Director Chu also knew them clearly.

In fact, today's scenes were specially arranged by him, just to let those actors know Jin Li's ability.

For this, he even specially swapped the scenes of several actors, just to make Jin Li's "seamless switching" state appear more obvious.

In the evening, he discussed the local details that needed to be modified with the screenwriter and mentioned this matter by the way.

Director Chu revealed a calm composure of having expected this, saying: "I knew that since Jin Li and Gu Cheng didn't participate in the pre-group training, many actors would be unconvinced by the two of them, and the crew would spread some gossip."

Screenwriter: "I thought you would strictly supervise the crew's discipline, let them focus more on acting, and not always gossip."

Director Chu smiled: "I actually wish their discipline were stricter, putting their minds on filming every day, without me having to manage it."

"But there are so many people in the crew, it's impossible for me to train them into an army. Now the atmosphere of the crew already satisfies me; it didn't let down the two days I spent at the beginning training them to stand in military posture."

The screenwriter thought for a while and said: "Your method is good; it can not only show Jin Li's ability but also let some actors see the gap between them and top actors."

He could see that Jin Li looks like an experiential actor on the surface, but is actually a technical actor.

Many of her performances are imitations of other excellent actors, with some of her own personal understanding added.

She hasn't formed a personal style in acting yet, but she is already walking towards this direction step by step.

Jin Li's acting skills cannot be said to be very excellent and outstanding, but they are much better than other new-generation actors.

With the type of their play, the requirements for acting skills are not that high, and Jin Li's acting skills can hold it.

The screenwriter didn't know what he thought of, and said: "With Jin Li suppressing the actresses, I'm not worried. It's just on the actor's side, Gu Cheng and Bai Jiang are both in the crew, will there be any problems?"

From the perspective of scenes, Bai Jiang is still the well-deserved male lead, continuing the male lead personality of "Dawn 1".

They just changed the female lead of the second part from Xu Ting to Jin Li, but the male lead hasn't been changed.

It just so happens that Gu Cheng previously acted in another special effects blockbuster "Desperate Counterattack", which is also very famous in the industry, plus he and Jin Li are suspected to be a couple.

So although the role Gu Cheng plays cannot compare to Bai Jiang in terms of scenes, he can rival Bai Jiang in popularity in the crew.

It's troublesome for actresses to tear each other apart, and it's not necessarily easy for actors to tear each other apart.

It would have been fine if the screenwriter hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, Director Chu laughed.

"Before the crew started filming, I also thought about this problem. One mountain cannot contain two tigers. Both male stars are very popular. I was worried that they would occupy mountains and form gangs in the crew."

"But when filming, I found that these two people are very disciplined. Like Jin Li, they film honestly, and rest after filming, without participating in any disputes of the crew."

"According to my observation, the relationship between these two actors in the crew is quite good. They will get together to discuss acting skills, and the atmosphere is good."

The editor raised his eyebrows and said with great interest: "The scale of the filming of Part 2 is more magnificent than Part 1, and more actors are invited. I was worried that something would go wrong.

But according to what you said, the atmosphere seems to be better than when filming Part 1."

Director Chu didn't know what he thought of, the smile on his face became shallower, and he said lightly:

"As long as the top actors don't make trouble, the atmosphere of the crew won't be bad."

Standing at the director's level, he felt that the relationship between Gu Cheng and Bai Jiang was good.

However, in the crew that looks calm on the surface but is actually surging with undercurrents, others feel that the conflict and contradiction between these two people are about to be put on the table.

Although the two male stars didn't swaggeringly say "want to add scenes, want to change scenes", they both looked quite hardworking.

But in the eyes of other actors, it just feels like these two actors are competing.

It seems they are competing with each other in acting skills.

"Today Bai Jiang's scene passed in just five minutes, one take, and the director praised him for filming well!"

"Gu Cheng's scene also passed quickly. Although it wasn't one take, the scenes he has filmed so far are quite difficult, and filming a few more times can ensure the film effect."

"I saw Gu Cheng's fight scenes. He is worthy of being the male lead of "Desperate Counterattack". The martial arts scenes are very powerful. Bai Jiang is not as powerful as him."

"But Gu Cheng's literary scenes are not as good as Bai Jiang's, and his emotions are not as rich as Bai Jiang's."

"Is it possible that the plot of the role Gu Cheng plays is not as rich as Bai Jiang's, so he can't compare? I think Gu Cheng's acting skills are actually much better than Bai Jiang's!"

After filming for a week, Jin Li heard this gossip from Chen Qin.

The protagonists of the gossip had long since changed from her to Gu Cheng and Bai Jiang.

Jin Li shook her head, feeling that this group of people was still too idle, actually having time to care about the gossip of two big stars.

Chen Qin said with a smile: "Gu Cheng is your boyfriend in reality, and Bai Jiang is your official match in the play."

"Wait, stop, Bai Jiang's official match is not me. In the first part, the male lead liked Su Yuxuan played by Xu Ting the most."

Chen Qin blinked: "But everyone won't think so. It's assumed that the male and female leads will be together.

What's more, there wasn't much emotional drama in the first part. It's normal for the male lead to have a good impression of Su Yuxuan first, and have a better impression of the supporting actress Ruan Ruanruan more than ten years later."

Jin Li: "... You are right, but I am a clone in the second part, and I am not called Ruan Ruanruan, but Ruan Tang."

Chen Qin said excitedly: "This is not important, as long as they think so."

Jin Li helplessly supported her forehead, suddenly feeling a little fortunate. Fortunately, the scenes of her, Bai Jiang, and Gu Cheng haven't been filmed yet, otherwise she would have to appear in this gossip news again.

However, not appearing now doesn't mean it won't appear in the future.

Chen Qin gossiped secretly: "Sister Jin Li, in the crew, the Ruan Tang you play obviously has a better impression of the male lead played by Bai Jiang, but Gu Cheng's role also has a good impression of you. How should you respond to the Shura field of three people?"

Jin Li said speechlessly: "Don't respond. I will act according to how the script is written. Am I the kind of actress who likes to change scenes?"

Chen Qin said regretfully: "You are not."

Jin Li spread her hands: "So don't ask me this question. I didn't think so much when filming."

Filming is very busy every day. Although she and Gu Cheng are in the same crew, because there are not many overlapping scenes at present, they are all filming individual lines.

So they can't communicate every day.

Even though the two are in the same cast, they speak less to each other every day than they do via WeChat; they can only chat during lunch or evening breaks.

But wanting to chat face-to-face is also a bit difficult.

The crew is crowded and noisy. After meeting once or twice, both of them felt it was inconvenient, as if they were being watched.

They are discussing recently whether to change the chat during rest time to video chat.

Others do this because of long-distance relationships. Their "same-crew relationship" is not necessarily easier than long-distance relationships.

That night, Jin Li video-chatted with Gu Cheng and mentioned the gossip about him and Bai Jiang.

Gu Cheng had already learned about this gossip from his assistant today, and said helplessly:

"I don't know where they saw that I am competing with Bai Jiang. From the experience of filming, he has filmed more movies than me, and he filmed the first part of Dawn before, so he understands Director Chu's style and rhythm, and adapts faster than me."

"If I compete with him, the one who loses will only be me."

He changed the subject, "Our relationship is good. Recently, some scenes have overlapped. I will find him to discuss the script, and Bai Jiang is willing to give me pointers."

Jin Li recalled the clips she had filmed with Bai Jiang before, and couldn't help nodding:

"His acting skills are much more mature than when filming the first part before. He has put a lot of effort into understanding the characters, and his physical fitness has improved a lot, but his handling of special effects is still a bit stiff. You are better than him in this point."

After all, Gu Cheng had just finished filming a special effects blockbuster not long ago, and he is more familiar with special effects handling than Bai Jiang.

Gu Cheng also said: "I also think his character understanding is good, so I discussed the script with him and asked him about his thoughts on my role.

Combining his thoughts, I have a newer understanding of playing the role. Fortunately, Director Chu's filming is not so jumpy. Although the scenes arranged every day are also strung according to the venue, the filmed plot can generally be smoothed out."

If the scenes arranged by Director Chu were too messy, filming him working in the laboratory in the previous scene and sacrificing in the laboratory in the next scene, the emotional progression and substitution would not be so fast.

At this time, it tests the actor's acting skills.

The perception of emotions is always a subject that actors cannot get around.

In this regard, Jin Li has a unique advantage.

Gu Cheng thought of something and said hesitantly: "My scenes will probably take more than a month to film. I found that Director Chu's filming style is very different from Director Zheng's style.

Director Chu's style is more commercialized, with a template that can be used, while Director Zheng has a strong personal style and will always pick on details."

"I appreciate Director Chu's filming style very much. What do you think if I go to Director Chu's side to help with chores and learn when I'm not filming?"

Jin Li: "You are a directing major after all. While cooperating with various big directors, you can also learn a lot. No matter what you think, I support you."

Gu Cheng's mind was set, and he smiled.

"I am an actor and have a certain popularity. If I really let myself follow the director to do chores, I feel that I will have some idol baggage and can't let go of my status."

"But I don't want to miss such a rare learning opportunity. Knowledge from books is shallow, and one must practice to know the truth. I want to learn directing knowledge as soon as possible."

"Whether it is Director Chu or Director Zheng, in terms of practical ability, they are actually more powerful than professors in school."

He paused and said: "Originally, I couldn't make up my mind immediately, but with your support, I feel much more settled. Starting tomorrow, I will do this."

Jin Li asked with a smile: "Can you put down your idol baggage?"

Gu Cheng sighed lightly: "If I don't want to put it down, I have to put it down. You have never fallen behind in your schoolwork, and you can apply for national-level scholarships."

"Since I signed up for the directing major, I have to be responsible for this major. Otherwise, you graduate as an 'excellent student', and I am just an ordinary graduate. How embarrassing that is!"

Jin Li didn't expect that it was because of her that Gu Cheng was so attentive to his studies.

Waves of light flowed in her eyes, and she encouraged: "Then you have to work hard. I have innate talent in philosophy, and if you want to counterattack acquiredly, you have to put in more effort."

Gu Cheng said "um" with a solemn expression.

Jin Li is running with all her might, and he cannot hold her back.

Say it and do it.

Once Gu Cheng made up his mind, his execution was very strong.

Early the next morning, he came to the crew, and the field manager greeted him and asked curiously:

"What are you doing in the crew so early? I remember you don't have any scenes this morning."

Filming is very tiring and busy. Except for when they first started filming, actors would be too excited and soak in the crew all day.

After this excitement passed, let alone big actors, many small actors would only appear when it was their turn to film that scene, and would not arrive at the crew two or three hours early.

And Gu Cheng, Jin Li, and Bai Jiang appeared only when it was their turn from the beginning, and did not stay in the crew too much.

This is not because the more popular the star, the more airs they have.

But it is not a good thing for these stars to stay in the crew too much, which will cause interference to other actors and staff.

Because of their high popularity, once they arrive at the crew, they must send two or three staff members to follow them, serving them.

Why waste crew resources?

Wouldn't it be better to let these people go out and help the crew more?

In addition, not showing up too much can also reduce a lot of trouble.

Some small stars will come up to get close as soon as they see big stars, keep saying good things, making those big stars annoyed.

Don't underestimate the desire of small stars to become popular. Those small stars didn't have a chance before. Now that they are in the same crew, isn't the opportunity to make friends with big stars coming?

Even Jin Li, when she is not filming, she stays in the RV more.

The greater the popularity of a star, the more it is destined that they cannot be too approachable in the crew, which will lead to many incidents.

Gu Cheng said: "I am here to observe others filming."

The field manager nodded, didn't say much, opened the shift schedule in his hand and took a look.

He scratched his head, strange, there is no big actor filming in the morning, what is there to observe?

Eh, wait, Bai Jiang has a literary scene at ten o'clock, is he here for Bai Jiang?

Who said that Gu Cheng and Bai Jiang have a good relationship and are not competing?

Isn't this just competing!

I have to say, this is a wonderful misunderstanding.

As soon as the crew started filming, Gu Cheng leaned towards Director Chu.

Director Chu entered the working state, his expression was relatively serious and relatively silent.

He glanced at Gu Cheng, and seeing that he was not in the way, he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and continued to focus on the camera screen.

After filming for more than an hour, Director Chu came to his senses.

During the break, he looked at Gu Cheng and said meaningfully: "Are you here to steal the art?"

Gu Cheng quickly raised his hand and said: "No, Director Chu, I am just here to learn lens language, so I know what kind of lens expression is the most beautiful!"

Director Chu gave an "um-huh" and asked again: "Do you understand, just staring there all the time?" ===== CHAPTER 777 =====
