Chapter 124 Golden Acting Technique, Despair +10 (Ch 124)

On the morning of September 22,

Qi Jia followed the crew to the Bayinbuluke Grassland in western Xinjiang, one of the filming locations for the Bayinbuluke Plateau Car Rally.

This is the second largest grassland in China and has been selected as a national 5A-level scenic spot.

The terrain is flat and open, and everywhere you look, you can see lush green grass. Your girlfriend will never dislike you taking photos here.

Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Qi Jia couldn’t help but yawn.

He and his assistant arrived in the early hours of last night. After a busy night, they got up early this morning, so they are still a little sleepy now.

“Qi Jia, thank you for your hard work. You just arrived last night and you will follow us to the set today.”

Shen Teng came over with two cups of Starbucks, handed one to Qi Jia, and said with a smile,

“Thank you, Brother Shen.”

Qi Jia quickly took it and thanked him, then made a joke.

“It’s not hard. I get paid.”

Shen Teng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, drank a mouthful of bitter coffee, and said with a smile,

“Haha, your speech is just like Huang Bo’s singing, funny and nice to listen to.”

After saying that, he and Qi Jia looked at each other, and both thought of the scene of Huang Bo being hung up and singing, and then they laughed at the same time.

While the two were chatting, Director Han came over with two other leading actors.

One is Yin Zheng, who plays Zhang Chi’s navigator Sun Yuqiang in the movie, but netizens prefer to call him Yuan Hua.

The other is Zhang Benyu, who plays the god-level maintenance star in the movie, and Liu Bei in the web drama “Never Expected”.

He is nicknamed “the cutest Liu Bei” by netizens.

“Qi Jia, you didn’t sleep well last night. It’s a matter of time. We have to finish filming your scenes in Xijiang within these two days. I have to trouble you for a while.”

Director Han came forward, patted Qi Jia on the shoulder, and said politely,

“Director Han, you are too polite. I should be the one to say thank you for your hard work and for coordinating my schedule.”

The director was being polite to you, but Qi Jia couldn’t really be so unruly, so he waved his hand and said,

“To thank you brothers for taking such good care of me, I will treat you all to a midnight snack after work tonight.”

OK, OK~ Everyone smiled and responded.

Yin Zheng and Zhang Benyu, who met for the first time, were very satisfied with Qi Jia’s attitude, and their impression of him was greatly improved.

“Okay, let’s make it quick today. Let’s do today’s scene one-on-one.”

Director Han laughed a few times, took the script, and began to arrange today’s scenes.

There are four scenes to be filmed today.

Three sections are on the racetrack, and one section is at the maintenance base.

At nine o’clock in the morning, after the crew finished their preparations, they began filming.

The starting point of the race was already full of racing cars used as props, all of which were painted with various dazzling paint jobs.

This segment was shot when Lin Zhendong was helping Zhang Chi fix his racing car. The two rivals, who were both enemies and friends, finally stood on the same track.

The two of them didn’t have any lines throughout the whole scene, relying entirely on expressions.

“The whole world is ready!” Director Han raised his megaphone, looked around the set, and shouted,

Hearing the sound, the boardmaster walked to the camera and raised the board.

“Flying life, thirty games, four shots once, Elkeson~”

Bang! The board is over.

Lin Zhendong, played by Qi Jia, is wearing a red racing suit and standing next to his racing car.

The sunlight on the track was very dazzling. Qi Jia frowned slightly and accepted the interview of the media reporter with a calm expression.

When I heard the reporter ask me what I thought about competing with Zhang Chi,

Qi Jia’s expression became slightly solemn, showing Lin Zhendong’s inner caution towards Zhang Chi.

At this moment, the camera turned and Zhang Chi’s car stopped behind Lin Zhendong’s car.

Shen Teng, wearing a white racing suit, got out of the car and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar racetrack.

The expression on his face was one of emotion but also of relief.

“Unit 3, follow up!”

Director Han picked up the intercom and took control of the whole scene.

Unit 3 is gone, the camera returns to Qi Jia’s face, at this time Zhang Chi, played by Shen Teng, is passing behind him.

He stopped and looked at Lin Zhendong quietly for a few seconds, wanting to say thank you to him, but in the end he did not say a word.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Zhendong seemed to have sensed something and turned back.

The two opponents who were both teachers and friends smiled at each other and nodded to each other. They both understood what the other meant. Real men need no words!

“Crack!”

When shooting here, Director Han shouted, this one is perfect,

Then everyone returned to their seats, saved one line, and performed the scene again.

After finishing this segment, the crew immediately prepared for the next one and were busy until around five in the afternoon, when they finally finished filming all the daytime scenes.

The crew returned to the maintenance center in the movie, ate a box lunch, and took a short rest.

At 7 o’clock in the evening, the crew was in place and officially began filming the last scene of the day.

This scene is divided into two shots. One shot shows that Zhang Chi’s racing car was damaged in an accident on the road, and he was facing the dilemma of being retired from the race because he had no spare car.

The second shot shows that at this time Lin Zhendong stepped forward and asked his professional team and Jixing to repair the car together to help Zhang Chi participate in the competition smoothly.

The scenes on camera mainly featured the performances of Shen Teng, Yin Zheng and Zhang Benyu, while Qi Jia stood aside and watched.

As soon as the filming began, Qi Jia was shocked by Shen Teng’s acting skills.

He stared at the damaged car with lifeless eyes, and he looked as if his soul had been taken away, dull and sluggish.

His chin trembled slightly, and he walked forward slowly with heavy steps.

“Is there any hope?”

He looked at Ji Xing knowingly, still holding a glimmer of hope in his heart.

At this moment, a long-lost voice sounded in Qi Jia’s mind. At the same time, a ball of golden light appeared on Shen Teng’s body.

“Ding, copyable properties are detected nearby, please choose to copy!”

“Ding, successfully copied to the emotional acting skill [Despair +10]”

Qi Jia was very excited about the direct +10 attribute. Although he had filmed a lot of movies this year,

But the actors in the crew couldn’t match his acting skills, so he never copied any acting skills.

I basically relied on my own experience on the set and studying in the practice room at night to improve my acting skills.

It seems that I need to spend more time with people who are better than me in the future, so that I can improve faster.

While Qi Jia was distracted, the first shot had already been completed. After securing one take, he was ready to start the second shot.

Qi Jia immediately adjusted his state and prepared to go on stage.

Bang! The script supervisor finished clapping and everyone immediately started shooting.

Zhang Chi, played by Shen Teng, took the withdrawal application with a sad face and was about to sign it.

At this time, Lin Zhendong, played by Qi Jia, appeared in the camera. He held down the withdrawal application with one hand, looked at Zhang Chi, and said,

“No more rescue efforts?”

His tone was calm, but when he said this, his right eyebrow was raised and his left eyebrow was level.

The look he gave Zhang Chi was filled with strong confidence and pride.

Known as the “top driver of the new generation”, he would never allow his most valued opponent to leave the track in such a lonely way.

After the two looked at each other for three seconds, Shen Teng slowly looked away and said in a low and lost voice,

“money”

“Accessories”

“All gone~”

“Even if there is, this amount of time is not enough to repair it!”

…

“The referee is right. We are all experienced drivers. There is no need to fantasize. We are wasting everyone’s time and blocking the road~”

When he said the last sentence, his expression was a forced smile, as if he was trying to convince himself that it was time to give up.

After hearing this, Lin Zhendong’s expression was indifferent. His nervous heart was relieved. He could hear Zhang Chi’s unwillingness from his tone.

He was really worried before that Zhang Chi would really want to withdraw from the competition because of this setback.

“Do you know what your five years of not competing mean?”

Lin Zhendong looked at Zhang Chi with a relaxed expression and asked,

“It may mean that my era is completely over, right young man?”

Zhang Chi said this in a self-deprecating tone, and looked at Lin Zhendong.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhendong turned around and smiled, and said confidently,

“Those five years meant technological advancement. Things that were impossible before are now possible!”

According to the script, the scene ends here.

Director Han stood up with satisfaction and shouted “Cut!” After hearing this, everyone looked relieved and prepared to call it a day.

Only Qi Jia, who was already overwhelmed with the acting, was still standing there, scratching his head and thinking!

“Not bad, the acting is very good. After one more take, we can call it a day.”

After Director Han stood up, he immediately praised him.

But Qi Jia didn’t look happy at all, and still had an expression of being in pain.

“What’s wrong, Qi Jia? Are you worried that you won’t have enough money to pay for dinner?” Director Han joked.

Qi Jia frowned and thought for a few seconds before saying

“Director, do you feel like there’s something missing from this scene?”
