Soup of Rebirth

The new assistant is called Zhong Yin. She is a chubby girl with a small round face. When she smiles, she is very festive, like glutinous rice balls to eat on the morning of New Year's Day.

Speaking of Zhong Yin, she is really a good girl with quick hands and feet. When Ji Junxin is not filming, she runs back and forth with Ji Junxin, picking up clothes and bags, keeping an eye on make-up and clothing, to ensure that everything is safe.When Ji Junxin came on stage, she watched from the sidelines and chatted with the crew.Although the girl is chubby, she is good-looking, round and festive, with a sweet mouth, and she got acquainted with the staff after a while.

The new assistant that Qiao Rubai sent this time was also known to Mi Hongdou in her previous life.

In the previous life, Zhong Yin joined Qiongyu about five years later, when he was about the same age as Mi Hongdou.At that time, Ji Jun's heart was at rest, and Zhong Yin followed Bao Yueqiao.When Zhong Yin first entered Qiongyu, he also had this chubby appearance. With his festive appearance and sweet mouth, he was able to be a man, and soon became acquainted with the old people in Qiongyu.

In fact, in the last life of Mi Hongdou, apart from filming, she was trying her best to become fan friends with Ji Junxin, not to mention Zhong Yin, even Bao Yueqiao...she was not very familiar with her either.About Zhong Yin, Bai Tang gossiped to him when he was free.The so-called people should not be judged by their appearance, probably refers to Zhong Yin.Don't look at her chubby and cute, but many people in Qiongyu had a happy chat with her, and they were in a good mood at the end, but thinking about it carefully, the matter of Bao Yueqiao who originally wanted to inquire about it from Zhong Yin I didn't ask a question, but I was dug out a lot of material on my side.Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger is probably like this.However, Zhong Yin has the ability, and next time he will make people willing to chat.When Zhong Yin followed Bao Yueqiao, he could be regarded as grasping inside and out, and everything was handled in an orderly manner, which made the manager who brought Bao Yueqiao happy and depressed at the same time.There are fewer things, I am happy, I am almost fine, of course I am depressed.

Mi Hongdou looked at it, Qiao Rubai took so many years ahead of time to find Zhong Yin to be Ji Junxin's assistant, which can be said to be well-intentioned.Before Lu Gaoshi was kicked away, Shen Zhu had a problem again, Xiao Zhang...it's hard to say.Ji Junxin's side has been empty for so long, it seems that Qiao Rubai has indeed been thinking of a way.It is easy to find a competent assistant, but it is difficult to find a competent and knowledgeable assistant.

From the perspective of Zhong Yin now, he is much younger than when he entered Qiongyu.It's just that when she does things, she is as serious and meticulous as she was back then. If she is given some time to grow up, she will definitely help Ji Junxin.

Mi Hongdou knew that Qiao Rubai must have spent a lot of effort to find Zhong Yin back from the vast crowd in advance.Combining the experience of the previous life, Mi Hongdou really thinks that it is quite suitable for Zhong Yin to be Ji Junxin's assistant.However, with Zhong Yin's arrival, Mi Hongdou felt more and more that in the past, she was the only one who took care of Ji Junxin, and the days when the two of them lived together may be gone forever.

Speaking of which, Zhong Yin is quite good at being a human being. Although he is Ji Junxin's assistant, because there is still Mi Hongdou living in Ji Junxin's heart, so after Ji Junxin expresses that he needs some private space, Zhong Yin will disappear automatically when he returns to the hotel.Before Ji Junxin had no assistant, she had breakfast with Bai Tang, and had lunch and dinner with rice and red beans, Zhong Yin didn't interfere, and just obediently ate the box lunch by herself.On weekdays, she earnestly follows Ji Jun, has a sweet mouth, but she doesn't deliberately get close to Ji Jun like Shen Zhu.

Such an assistant is really good.

It's a pity that Mi Hongdou's affection for Zhong Yin lasted only a few days, and it shattered like a bubble.

The disappearance of Mi Hongdou's affection for Zhong Yin was not because Zhong Yin did not do well enough, on the contrary, it was because Zhong Yin did too well!

As an assistant, Zhong Yin is eloquent, able to move and resist, hard-working and clever, which is already quite good.As a result, she can do even better!

One afternoon during the filming break, as usual, Bai Tang took out some tea and snacks from his bag to give to Ji Jun, and then Zhong Yin also took out a bag of snacks, smiling and letting everyone taste her handicrafts together.

The dim sum that Zhong Yin brought out was actually very simple, just like the buttery garlic toast that Mi Hongdou made last time.Except, she made sweet, buttered toast.

The sweet butter toast should be cut into small cubes with toast, spread evenly with butter before baking, and then sprinkle some sugar on top, after baking, it will be a small snack with a golden yellow and attractive luster.

It's just the buttery toast made by Zhong Yin. It tastes different in your mouth.Small square bread pieces, just the size of a thoughtful bite, crispy but not dregs.In addition to the aroma of butter, there is also a faint fruity aroma. The rice red beans can be eaten with fruits such as grapefruit or lemon, but if it is brushed with jam, this toast cannot be so crispy The taste is gone.So Mi Hongdou guessed that it should be something like fruit powder.

Mi Hongdou, who is full of cooking skills, can still guess. Ji Jun, who was conquered by this fresh taste, asked directly.As a result, Zhong Yin's answer was... When making it, he used homemade fruit sugar powder instead of the granulated sugar in the recipe, so it tastes buttery and fruity, fragrant but not greasy.Afterwards, they contributed a lot of Zhong Yin brand homemade fruit candies.

So... Mi Hongdou's affection for Zhong Yin shattered like a bubble.

What is this called, well, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!

Originally, as the finale was approaching, Mi Hongdou became more and more reluctant to part with Ji Jun.At this time, Mi Hongdou was a little jealous to kill someone who could accompany Ji Junxin every day in the future.It's okay that this person is very capable, at least I can take care of Ji Jun's heart more in the future, but this guy is also so good at cooking and eating!

Mi Hongdou has a feeling that Ji Junxin doesn't need her anymore after the filming is finished.

I hate skill overlapping the most!

Mi Hongdou is a little jealous of Zhong Yin, but more importantly, she still feels that it is always good to have such a person to take care of Ji Junxin in the future.

However, once Mi Hongdou inadvertently asked Ji Junxin how he felt towards Zhong Yin, the latter actually replied...it's okay.

Mi Hongdou really doesn't understand why an almost all-round assistant is rated as okay by the employer.However, he was a little relieved.

Heh, of course Mi Hongdou doesn't understand the reason for this.

Zhong Yin is so capable, and Ji Junxin is not a fool, of course he can see it.But the problem is, on the first day of Zhong Yin's arrival, Ji Jun took her around the room and complained about the falling curtain in the bathroom.As a result, within a few hours, Zhong Yin did not know how to persuade the owner of the hotel, and someone came immediately, and took down the curtain that Mi Hongdou had painstakingly glued with layers of double-sided adhesive transparent glue. Then the glass door was pasted with opaque ink pattern stickers, and an inner lock that can be buckled was thoughtfully added inside the glass door.

It is agreed that this bathroom is one of the boss' favorite designs?It is agreed to create the kind of shiny, unobstructed, refreshing style that the whole bathroom can be seen at a glance?Why couldn't I talk to Mi Hongdou before, but Zhong Yin got it done in a while?

"This way you won't be afraid of the curtain falling down. If someone is inside, you can also fasten the inner buckle, so that you don't have to worry about someone accidentally opening the sliding door outside." Zhong Yin said caringly.

Facing such a powerful assistant, what else can Ji Junxin say?Could it be that, I'm sorry, I just want the curtain to fall!I just want to break in directly!so...

Ji Jun could only praise Zhong Yin's work ability in his heart.

Some people are so good, but they show up at a bad time and place, and that's about it.

Regardless of how many changes the appearance of Zhong Yin brought to the lives of Ji Junxin and Mi Hongdou, the script is still getting thinner and thinner with the passage of time.

Soon, only the last few scenes remained.

Only four years after returning to the court, the emperor's old injury relapsed, and he passed away before he could make a will.In the court, because someone brought up the matter that the empress voluntarily surrendered in front of the stage back then, they felt that the eldest son of the emperor was raised by the empress and would be controlled by the empress in the future, and the Ji family would eventually be named Qin.As a result, the court was divided into two factions, supporting the eldest son of Miao Qianye and the second son of Concubine Zhu Shu (played by Jiang Duo) respectively.In order for Miao Qianye's son to ascend the throne smoothly, the queen took the initiative to drink poison and committed suicide.

What was going to be filmed today was the most important one among the last few scenes, the one where the queen committed suicide, and Miao Qianye rushed to stop it, but didn't make it in time.

The part where Mi Hongdou committed suicide by drinking medicine went smoothly. Although the coke was not tasty, it was not too bad. It was better than drinking soy sauce.

It's just that Mi Hongdou lay on the bed and pretended to be a dead body.When I started filming the scene where Miao Qianye went to the central palace, but didn't even get to see the queen for the last time, it didn't go very smoothly.

According to the script, when Miao Qianye got the news, she rushed to the central palace immediately, but broke into the queen's bedroom all the way, only to see the blue sky and white sun, but the curtain on the bed was lowered, and when she stumbled closer, she saw a smear of bright red blood on the edge of the bed .With trembling hands, Miao Qianye slowly opened the curtain, only to see the queen lying quietly on the bed, beside the bed was a lot of blood that seemed to be spit out by the queen after drinking poison.Miao Qianye slowly stretched out her hand, and brought it closer to the Queen's nose, then lowered her hand weakly, staggered back a few steps, and knelt down beside the Queen's bed, uttering an extremely sad moan without any image. howling.

Ji Junxin felt that the filming of this scene was actually quite smooth, and there were no interruptions in the middle.It's just that after the first performance, Director Pan always felt that it was almost tasteless.

Director Pan replayed the scene just now.

If you look at it separately, Ji Junxin acted well after getting the news and rushing to panic and panic.The eagerness to break into the queen's bedroom all the way is also very realistic.After arriving at the dormitory, whether it was the momentary stupefaction when seeing the bed with the curtains down, the eager and hesitant look when he stepped forward, or the trembling hands when he opened the curtains, some of these details were not detailed in the script , but Ji Jun grasped her heart very well.Then when it became clear that the queen was dead, the initial disbelief, doubts, verifications, and later grief were all in line with what was written in the script.Even the last wail is enough to make people hear the sadness in it.

Obviously everything is as written in the script, even in many places, what Ji Junxin expressed is better than what was written in the script.But Director Pan just felt that it was a bit close.

Director Pan, as a director, needs to control the smoothness of the plot of the whole drama, the richness of details, and even the emotional penetration.A film has been filmed for several months and is coming to an end.It can be said that Director Pan has thoroughly understood the drama.

Indeed, Ji Junxin's performance was very good. If the scene just now had been done, no one would be able to fault it even when it was released.However, Director Pan felt that this should not be the case.In Director Pan's opinion, this scene is a very important plot point in "Royal Secrets", and at the same time, it should also be an emotional flashpoint in "Royal Secrets".Even from Director Pan's own feelings, the emotional outburst in this scene should be stronger than the two tragic points of thinking that the emperor is dead, and that the emperor really died.

Hmm... well, although it is reasonable to say that the emotions of the two tragic points should explode the strongest.But... Now that the filming of this film is in progress, Director Pan feels that this scene is the highlight of the film.Although... there seems to be something wrong.But Director Pan's directing instinct told him so.

Just because Director Pan attaches great importance to this scene, Ji Junxin's good performance, in Director Pan's opinion, is not enough.

To put it bluntly, the director can say the wrong lines, the wrong actions, or even the wrong emotions, and the shortcomings of the emotions can be corrected by the actors.But if the director thinks it's almost tasteless, then the actor will be hard to change.

Director Pan also understood this, so he didn't say too much.I just want to say that this scene is very important, and I plan to take a few more shots so that I can use more materials for processing in post-production.Then I had a heart-to-heart chat with Ji Jun, signaling her to invest more.

So when shooting the second piece, Ji Junxin really put a lot of effort into it.Whether it's the urgency when rushing to the dormitory, or the fear after entering the dormitory, or the final sorrow, Ji Junxin put in a little more effort when acting, pushing up the emotions of eagerness, fear and sadness a lot.

Compared with the first shot before, the emotional explosive power of the second shot is obviously much stronger.

However, Director Pan was still not very satisfied.

Some intuition, just intuition.Some feelings, just feelings.It is difficult to explain this kind of experience from people, let alone let people understand and improve it in a short period of time.

Director Pan is not an unreasonable director.At this moment, the scene is obviously okay, but it can't reach the height in his heart. Although he is impatient, he won't take his anger out on others casually.

"Hey, the emotional explosiveness is already very strong, if it is more explosive, it will act like a psychopath." Director Pan sat in front of the screen with a sad face, talking to himself.

Then a voice that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly sounded beside him, and already made people feel a little strange.

"Why, isn't this scene very good?" Qiao Rubai, who just came from Jiangcheng, just in time to see Director Pan replay the content of the second shooting of the scene just now on the screen.

Director Pan was startled by the sudden appearance of the voice.Turning around to see, it turned out to be Qiao Rubai, no wonder everyone walked around, and no staff member reminded him.

"Yes, it's good." Qiao Rubai's arrival couldn't appease the impetuous but powerless Director Pan, "But I always felt that something was missing. I thought before that the emotional strength was not strong enough, and the explosive power was not strong enough. But it made Ji Jun heartbroken. Increase the emotional performance, although it looks stronger, but it is still not the feeling I want."

"I think it looks good." Qiao Rubai looked at Director Pan, who seemed to have eaten bitter melon with a sad face, and persuaded, "I think this one is already pretty good, I can pass it."

Director Pan shook his head: "No."

Qiao Rubai was also speechless.

Speaking of which, Qiao Rubai knew that the scene of the death of the little queen was going to be filmed today, so he left a lot of things waiting for her to deal with in Jiangcheng, and got up early in the morning and took the car for more than five hours to come here.When the result came, she saw, ah, the scene that made her feel a little worried was over.

Seeing that the scene was safe and sound, the filming was finished without twists and turns.Qiao Rubai was a little lucky.As a result, Director Pan sat there and thought about it for a while, then waved his hand, but it still didn't work, so he took another shot.

This time, I took several shots in a row.

Although Director Pan has already stated that this scene is very important, he only took a few more shots in order to reserve more material for post-production.But the number of shots was too many, and everyone still felt that something was wrong.This one-by-one, the number of times is increasing, it doesn't seem like a reserve material, but it looks like NG.

But there were too many beats in this line, and Director Pan gradually figured out some ways from his intuition and feeling at the beginning.What is the difference, Director Pan finally noticed a little bit.

"Xiao Ji, your feelings are still not real enough." Director Pan called Ji Jun's heart aside, and said gently, "It's not that the emotions I said before are not enough, nor is it that the explosive power in the back is not enough. It's just that it's not real enough. How should I put it, It’s the difference between acting and reality, you know?”

Ji Jun nodded heartily.

I like this kind of actor with high comprehension and obedience the most!Director Pan suppressed the impatience in his heart, and continued to speak patiently: "So let's take another one later, as if you were really Miao Qianye, and then lost the little queen who supported you all the way. You feel, don't just rely on acting , emotionally with a little truth, to be more involved in the drama."

Although Director Pan called Ji Junxin aside to talk, Qiao Rubai, who was worried, and Mi Hongdou, who was a little worried about Ji Junxin, followed.

Hearing what Director Pan said now, Qiao Rubai couldn't bear it anymore: "Aren't actors just acting? It's enough to act well, so why do you want to be so real?"

Director Pan didn't feel dissatisfied with Qiao Rubai's refutation, but explained: "If this play relies on acting from the beginning, then of course I wouldn't propose to make her more real in this scene alone. The key That is, in this drama, Ji Junxin, Xiaomi, and even Jiang Lingling, whether it is the previous court drama or the later Zhuangzi drama, the emotional truth is more important than the acting. Since it has been like this before, there is no reason to be in it. In such an important play, it was a failure, right? Can you make this play a little higher, I can say, just watch today's play."

As a well-known veteran director, Director Pan's words were quite eloquent until the end.Qiao Rubai couldn't refute for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere is not good at this time, Mi Hongdou, who was worried that Ji Jun's heart would be in a bad state if he took too many photos, lightly pulled Ji Jun's heart, and said half-jokingly: "It's okay, why don't you be more serious?" After a while, I'll make a flat bowl of Coke and drink it in front of you, then I'll fall on the bed and play the poisoned hair again. Just pretend I'm really dead, and try to see if I can get into the show more."

Originally, Mi Hongdou said this, on the one hand, to make fun of it and ease some of the awkward atmosphere at the moment, on the other hand, he really wanted to help Ji Junxin quickly meet Pan Dao's request.After all, for a scene with a lot of emotional ups and downs, the more consecutive shots are taken, the more tired the person will be, and the worse the person's condition will be as the filming progresses to the end.Take a few more shots, it is very likely that the previous effect will not be as good.

Mi Hongdou was also in a moment of anxiety, out of kindness.But Qiao Rubo, who came here specially for this scene, heard that it was the little flame that ignited the powder keg.

"Oh, if it's true." Qiao Rubai raised the corner of his mouth, sneered, reached out and patted Mi Hongdou's shoulder, "Come on, my sister will tell you what is true."

Qiao Rubai stretched out his hand and grabbed Mi Hongdou, pulling her directly to the bed she had just been lying on not far away.

Ji Jun always felt that something was wrong, so she kept up with three steps and two steps, her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to persuade Qiao Rubai something.

At this time, Qiao Rubai looked back quickly as if eyes had grown on the back of his head, "Stand there, don't come over."

Qiao Rubai spoke quickly, and his tone was undeniably serious.Qiao Rubai had never spoken to Ji Junxin in such a harsh tone, and Ji Junxin was stunned for a moment. This delay made Qiao Rubai pull Mi Hongdou away.

Seeing that Qiao Rubai didn't do anything to Mi Hongdou, but just dragged her to the bedside where Mi Hongdou was lying on the body, and let Mi Hongdou lie down, Ji Junxin didn't follow her.

"Lie down." Qiao Rubai took Mi Hongdou to the side of the bed, pressed her to sit on the bed, and said so.

"You..." Mi Hongdou looked at Qiao Rubai hesitantly, she was going crazy.

"Don't you want to be true? Let me tell you what is true. I want to see how dare you... how dare you let her think you are really dead." With a sneer, Qiao Rubai poured out words to Mi Hongdou in a low voice, as if with anger that could no longer be suppressed, and even because of this anger, he couldn't even speak smoothly.

Qiao Rubai's words were a little hazy, but seemed to imply something.Mi Hongdou didn't know why, her heart started beating wildly, and she was a little dazed.So Qiao Rubai didn't show politeness to her, and directly pushed her down on the bed, and roughly wiped her eyelids down, helping her close them.

In the darkness, Mi Hongdou listened to the sound of Qiao Rubai walking away.

Qiao Rubai left, obviously Mi Hongdou could get up, but she didn't...

Mi Hongdou seems to have guessed what Qiao Rubai wanted to tell herself.
