call my name

In the afternoon, the filming of Lin Xia's first scene as the protagonist started.

Director Li saw Lin Xia's nervousness, and reminded him in advance: "This scene is not difficult, and there are not many lines, but the male lead is still at the stage of carefree, feasting at the hunting ground with the noble children. We mainly shoot Luxurious scenes, not many close-up shots of you, so don’t be nervous.”

Although Lin Xia couldn't stop nodding, she still had no confidence in her heart.After changing clothes and styling, I looked at the image in the mirror, but I felt awkward no matter how I looked at it.

The moon-white robe hangs down, and the rich peony pattern is decorated with dark patterns, accompanied by exquisite cloud pattern curling, which is luxurious and low-key.

The crew prepared the costumes very carefully, from head to toe, there were no flaws, and it looked antique.

The only thing that made him feel wrong was his face.

Seeing him in a daze, the makeup artist hurriedly asked, "What's not satisfactory? Let's fix it again."

Lin Xia shook his head: "You helped me transform very well, but my own temperament is not good." He laughed at himself in the mirror: "I don't look like a prince in a dragon robe, it's me."

The makeup artist kindly encouraged him: "Your appearance is obviously very classical and beautiful! Don't be too modest, you will definitely be able to perform well!"

However, after the filming started, it was stopped repeatedly by the director.Just a scene of drinking under an open-air tent was NGed more than a dozen times, and the other actors who played the role gradually couldn't hide their impatience.

The director explained to him again: "Your character identity is the prince, and the whole world belongs to his family. Just imagine, how noble this is! So his state is a kind of self-confidence; especially at this time, he is still carefree. A thoughtful young man, he must show that kind of elegant and chic temperament with every gesture. So you must be full of aura, but effortless... well, you need to find out how you feel."

Lin Xia listened carefully to the director's instructions, but a thin layer of sweat had already broken out on her forehead, so she went back to the dressing room to fix the shape, trying to take this time to catch her breath and calm down.But I heard the disdainful comments of other actors resting outside the door:

"I'm just saying, I haven't studied acting, and I didn't even have a decent role before. How can I play the leading role when I come up, how can I play it well? Now the director is really dumbfounded, right?"

"The director can't do anything about it. His backstage is hard. He changed from a supporting role to a leading role in one sentence, and even the audition was avoided. The face is pretty good, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the aura of the leading role at all! It took an entire afternoon to even pass one. When will it go on like this before we can finish it?!"

"Speaking of which, the benefactor behind this is really interesting. Apart from reshooting his original scenes with replacements and compensation for the extension of personnel schedules, there are a lot of liquidated damages for the termination of the contract with Roy, and the loss of fan traffic due to the temporary replacement of the leading role. ...Even so, it's still a change of roles, it's really generous..."

"Why are you envious?"

"Hahaha I'm really envious, don't you?"

"Hey, it's a pity that even now I don't even know who this patron is, so I can only envy him blindly..."

The make-up artist kept silent knowingly, Lin Xia smiled helplessly and did not explain.

He became the protagonist in a daze, but even he himself didn't know who Qi Yue was.

Taking a deep breath and walking towards the set, the monkey came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Be nervous, it's inevitable to play a leading role for the first time, just follow the director's instructions."

Lin Xia was grateful for his kind encouragement: "I'm working hard...Maybe the scene in the play is too unfamiliar to me, I can't act it out..."

He has never been a self-confident person, and it is really difficult to show that kind of noble and unrestrained temperament in the play suddenly.

The monkey didn't take it seriously: "What kind of reason is this? How can everyone live like an actor? By the way, if you really feel that the image of a dandy in bright clothes and angry horses is too strange, you can recall the characters in reality and learn from them." His demeanor, isn't it ready-made."

Seeing that Lin Xia was still in a daze, he tapped the script in his hand to remind: "Qi Yue! Is there anyone around you who is more dandy than him?"

Lin Xia retorted reflexively: "He's not a dude..."

In the eyes of outsiders, Qi Yue, who came to the film crew to play tickets but is idle, is indeed a playboy.Although Lin Xia knew this was not the case, it was undeniable that Qi Yue's temperament was indeed in line with the protagonist's character image.

Noble and gentle, elegant and naughty, melancholy and chic.

Lin Xia suddenly realized.

Tracing Qi Yue in her heart, Lin Xia returned to the set and took her place.

The index finger and middle finger hold the small white jade wine glass flatly, the slender neck is slightly raised, leaning back against the beauty, one long leg is bent, the other hand rests on the knee, the half of the wide sleeve is about to reach the ground, covering the cloud pattern pinch. With golden soft boots, the figure is loose but not scattered; the eyes are looking forward and shining, and the corners of the lips are raised into a smile - in the sound of dancing and music under the seat, he raises a glass to invite the children of the aristocratic families sitting around.

Lin Xia didn't know how well he could interpret the prince's peerless demeanor, so he just immersed himself in the play.

……

"Yes! Next one!"

The director was satisfied and praised unexpectedly: "That's right, I feel that I found it very accurately! The performance is also very good. Did you design the details of the movements?"

Lin Xia was so praised that she was at a loss: "There is no design..."

Just do it naturally because it feels like that's the way the person is.

The director praised again and again: "Well, well, I didn't expect you to be very savvy! Take a break and continue shooting in this state."

The gazes of the others were less contemptuous, and Lin Xia looked gratefully at the monkey next to him: "Thank you, brother monkey, for your guidance."

The monkey ticked off the schedule and shook his head sighingly: "Although I have never seen that young master Qi wearing ancient costumes, it should be the feeling you acted in. It is really resembling! Well, you observed him very carefully."

Qi Yue.

Where is he now?Already on the plane?

Lin Xia was distracted for a second, and then continued to defend Qi Yue without finishing what he had just said: "Although Qi Yue has a good family background, he is really not that kind of dude. He is very busy with his family's company and work, and often sleeps late..."

"Haha, how do you know that he often goes to bed late?" Monkey grinned gossipingly, seeing that Lin Xia was at a loss for words, he didn't go into details: "He doesn't live in the mansion at home and the big office of the company, so he just came to this remote place to be a little girl." The hotel is busy working overtime? I really came to watch the filming to see what's new, isn't it just a whim of a little dandy? Ah, having money means being able to do whatever you want..."

Houzi stopped talking, and looked at Lin Xia meaningfully: "By the way, he didn't seem to do anything other than replace you as the lead actor during this crew experience tour."

Although he knew that the monkey didn't mean to mock, Lin Xia still blushed.

At the end of the break, the monkey waved his hand to signal him to enter the studio: "Tian Bin said that you don't even know what he's behind, but you just picked up such a big deal for nothing. It seems that this is true. Maybe it's really a fool's luck. But brother Remind you, these kids from rich families have more means of sex than you can imagine. If you can praise you today, you can block you tomorrow. come out."

Lin Xia smiled wryly in her heart.Isn't it just that I have fallen into it and don't want to come out.

After getting it right, the filming of the next scenes went smoothly. Lin Xia was in excellent condition and finished today's scene earlier than the scheduled time.

After replacing Qi Yue's image, the character became extremely familiar.There is no need to think deeply or to be guided by others. Every movement and look is very natural, as if imprinted in my mind.

He likes to turn the finger on the handle before bending the bow and drawing the arrow. When he is riding on the horse, he will pay attention to loosening the rein by an inch. Although he is very clean, he does not care about his clothes when walking in the dusty pasture...

Lin Xia was in an excited and joyful mood until she returned to her room to wash and lie down to rest.Not because of the leading role, but like a warm dream.

Thanks to Qi Yue for giving him this opportunity.

Lin Xia wanted to send a message to Qi Yue to say thank you, so she took out her phone, typed and deleted, repeatedly, but finally did not send it.

He may be working at his desk, he may be gathering with friends in a noisy bar, he may be driving on the Riverside Avenue in S City... In short, he is living a wonderful life, and it has nothing to do with you, Lin Xia.

Why bother him.

But Lin Xia still held the phone tightly in his hand.Qi Yue said that he would contact him again, so that when Qi Yue's message came, he could reply as soon as possible.

But until he fell asleep, Qi Yue's message never came.

***

The location scenes were filming smoothly, and Lin Xia would still help the crew as before, and his way of dealing with people did not change because of playing the leading role.

He set Qi Yue's column to the top in the message column, and glanced at it from time to time between filming.

Gradually, the people who had been sneering at him when changing roles became friendly and less snarky.

Xu Biao especially appreciates him. From the beginning, he was dissatisfied with him changing the movements he designed, and now he often comes to listen to his suggestions when designing martial arts movements.

Lin Xia was born as an orphan, and he is used to being ignored or even underestimated. Now this feeling of being recognized and respected makes him feel that his life is full and complete every day when he wakes up.

In fact, it was not completely satisfactory. Until the end of the location shooting, there was no news from Qi Yue.

The location where the location was filmed was not too far from City N. Before returning to City S, the production crew gave them a day to rest. Under Tian Bin's reminder, Lin Xia took a car to see Qu Niannian.

He went to the orphanage first, and handed over the money that Tian Bin entrusted to him, together with his own share, to Aunt Jiang: "It's not much money, it's a kindness, to improve a few meals for the children. Tian Bin said that when he earns A lot of money, come back and build a new dormitory in the courtyard."

The gray-haired Aunt Jiang has become the director of the orphanage, and she smiled kindly: "Young people these days are all caring. Someone said a few days ago that they would build a new hospital for us! It is not easy for you to go to a big city. As long as you can live a good life! That's right, you are busy with work, I won't waste your time, go find Niannian!"
