Chapter 8

It was already twelve o'clock when we arrived in Huaidu. After getting off the bus, Qiao Qiu groped his way to a hotel according to the address given by Likert.

The hotel is not big, and it can barely be regarded as clean. After Qiaoqiu packed his things, he found Likert with the help of the staff.

Likert was sitting in front of the microphone talking to others, the scene was a little chaotic, several people were carrying things to and fro, saw Qiao Qiu, and said hello.

Qiao Qiu recognized that this was a member of Likert's crew, and felt a sudden sense of intimacy. Seeing that everyone else was busy, he found a place to squat and read the script.

After a while, Likert stopped talking, walked up to Qiao Qiu, and asked, "Have you finished reading the script?"

"Hmm." Qiao Qiu said, "It's very pretty."

Likert smiled: "Then tell me, what kind of character is the Jiang Yang you play?"

"...?" Qiao Qiu didn't think about this question, and his mind went blank for a moment. After a long time, he said, "Uh, I'm stronger, don't talk much, and work hard."

Li Kedian nodded, looked at Qiao Qiu meaningfully, and said, "You are a newcomer, don't be nervous if you let others play a few scenes with you in a while. Take your time, it's like this at the beginning, if you don't do well, I will criticize you, don't take it personally."

Joe begged: "Okay, when will the show be played?"

"After lunch."

"Huh?" So fast?

"The scenes are all set up, so don't shoot now, wait until five or six o'clock." Likert raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said to Qiao Qiu, "I just want to teach you first."

He first introduced to Qiao Qiu the lighting engineer, makeup artist, etc. There are many people here, most of them know Qiao Qiu and are very polite to him.

Then there is Lao Li who wants to play against Qiao.Lao Li is about 50 years old this year and has a fierce face. He plays the stepfather who beats Jiang Yang in the play.

But in real life, Lao Li has a very mild temper, running after Likert.

Likert wanted to talk to Qiao Qiu about a play, so he rejected Lao Li's invitation, and took two boxed lunches to eat with Qiao Qiu face to face.

The crew’s food was average, just enough rice, Qiao Qiu asked for two boxes in a row, and Likert smiled and said that he couldn’t afford you.

Qiao Qiu was very embarrassed and said that I should eat less that night.

"Don't, I'm just kidding you," Likert became serious, "Your figure is suitable in the early stage, and you should be as fat as possible in the later stage."

Qiao Qiu is nearly 1.9 meters tall, but weighs only 130 kilograms. He can't get fat no matter how much he eats. Hearing this, he feels a little heavy and eats two more mouthfuls of rice.

After lunch and a 10-minute break, Qiao Qiu started playing with Lao Li.Because it was the first day, I only had to shoot the two scenes where Jiang Yang was beaten by his stepfather and Jiang Yang escaped and hid in the haunted house. One was filmed in the afternoon and the other in the evening.

But because Qiao Qiu is a newcomer, Likert planned to let him get used to it first.

Before playing, Qiao Qiu was very unconfident, rubbed his eyes with his hands and said, 'I can't do it. ’ Likert comforted him and said, “Why didn’t you try it before?”

Just as Qiao Qiu was about to say something, Lao Li suddenly gave him a solid slap on the back, with a 'plop' sound like diving.

Qiao Qiu turned around in shock, saw Lao Li lighting a cigarette, and said, "Little brat, what are you talking about, do you look down on Lao Li?"

Qiao Qiu didn't speak.

Likert said: "Okay, I won't record it now, you can just find out how you feel."

After finishing speaking, he moved a bench and sat beside him, and said to Qiao Qiu, "Let it go, it's nothing, they are all from the crew."

Qiao Qiu was beaten. He was a little surprised, but he was not angry. He thought to himself, don't mess it up, or you will cause trouble to others.

Likert originally thought that a student like Qiao Qiu would not act like a child being abused, but in fact Qiao Qiu's voice was a little distorted at the beginning, but after practicing a few times, he really felt that way.

Likert called a stop, flipped through the script, and asked Joe to perform a frightening performance.

Qiao Qiu was a little shy at first, but when Likert shouted 'Please...', Qiao Qiu's eyes became firmer and more devoted.

Likert was greatly impressed, thinking that this child really has value in training.I just don't know how he feels about the camera.

It was dark in the summer, but Likert asked to prepare in advance, and asked the makeup artist to give Qiao makeup around two o'clock.The female teacher knew Likert, touched his face with a smile, and said, "The skin is so good, use less powder, and then turn on the light and it will be fine."

Qiao Qiu took off his clothes, changed into the costumes of the crew, and sprinkled a handful of sand in his hair.

Likert looked at the crew and felt that the preparations were about the same, and said through the microphone: "It's the first time for our male lead to act, so let's try it in advance to save some trouble, okay?"

The crew was very dedicated, and when they heard this, they gathered around one after another.They also wanted to see what kind of person Qiao Qiu was, and how he could be picked by Likert.

Only two people appeared in the first scene, so one can imagine the psychological pressure on Qiao Qiu.Qiao Qiu is a typical representative of the kind who can't do anything well by himself, and doesn't want to be underestimated when there are people watching, and is afraid of causing trouble for others. Seeing so many people surrounding him, Qiao Qiu took a deep breath, Said to Lao Li: "Okay, come on."

Lao Li also changed into the costumes of the crew, and he looked like a farmer. He paused, and began to curse after hearing the director's instructions.

Lao Li grabbed Qiao Qiu by the collar and pressed him against the wall.

Since Lao Li is only 1.7 meters tall, he is a whole head shorter than Qiao Qiu, so it looks a bit funny.But no one in the crew laughed. In fact, Lao Li had to wear very tall shoes when filming this scene, which was taller than Qiao Qiu, to create a sense of oppression.

Qiao Qiu and Lao Li performed such a scene more than ten times, and Qiao Qiu's voice became hoarse. When the recording started at six or seven o'clock, Qiao Qiu's brain hurt a little.

I was outside all the time during practice, and moved into the room when the shooting started.Lying on the wooden bed, Qiao Qiu couldn't help curling up when he heard drunken footsteps outside.

Joe Qiuren is tall and thin, with his back to the camera, and the mark of a spine is very obvious.

The drunken stepfather picked up Jiang Yang angrily and pushed him against the wall because there was no white water at home.

The dark room reminded Qiao Qiu of bad memories, he panted loudly, and looked at his stepfather in panic.

Through the lens, Likert is startled.He originally thought that it would be difficult for a rookie like Qiao Qiu to make such a convincing expression.

But when he was admiring Qiao Qiu's expression, Lao Li suddenly grabbed the seat, and Likert said angrily: "What are you doing?! If you steal the scene again, I will let you go!"

Lao Li didn't expect this kind-hearted director to be so fierce during filming, so he apologized immediately.

Qiao Qiu couldn't understand what Likert was saying, thinking it was talking about himself, he was panicked and at a loss.

The second time was soon carried out. This time, Lao Li didn't dare to steal the scene again, but squeezed Qiao Qiu against the wall more fiercely.

Qiao Qiu's face was flushed red, he couldn't breathe, and a vein on his forehead was bulging. When Lao Li's fist was about to hit his face, Qiao Qiu closed his eyes reflexively, and a line of tears flowed down his left eye down.It is impossible for Likert to really let Qiaoqiu get beaten, so he began to borrow his seat. With his back to the camera, his stepfather beat the boy's face and shoulders hard. Jiang Yang's voice was shrill and hoarse. He couldn't control his strength when he was drunk, and grabbed his neck hard. Jiang Yang let out an 'uh' and his whole body trembled.

The room was silent.No one expected Joe Qiu's first performance to be so... realistic.

"Very good, Qiao Qiu, pay attention to keep your face pointed at the camera in the future." Likert turned his head and said, "Get ready for the next scene."

All crew members stood up.
