Chapter 391 Unhappy in He Wei (Ch 391)

The scenes in the drama Awakening Age are very grand, with dozens of historical figures appearing.

So apart from the main characters such as Chen Duxiu and Cai Yuanpei, the other characters don’t have many roles.

For example, the character Chen Yannian played by Qi Jia, although he appeared in 13 episodes in total, the total running time was only more than 40 minutes.

So, although there are many episodes, each episode is actually just a few scattered shots.

The same is true for Liu Mei, played by Zhang Ruonan. She appeared in 11 episodes in total, but the cumulative running time was only a few dozen minutes.

Yi Qunxian, played by Zhou Ye, appeared even less, only in two episodes in total.

The filming was easy as there were fewer scenes to watch. The filming started the next morning and Zhou Ye finished shooting at noon, breaking the fastest finishing record in his acting career.

After saying goodbye to a few people, she returned to Hengdian that day to continue filming “For There Is a Fragrance”.

April 12, 2 p.m.

Qi Jia has three scenes today, two in the afternoon and one in the evening.

The first scene is when the police rode on horses and rushed into the streets, brandishing batons and beating students who were dispersing rallies and marches. In order to protect Liu Mei, played by Zhang Ruonan,

He was hit on the head with a baton and fell to the ground unconscious.

This shot only takes a dozen seconds, it is very simple, plus Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan cooperated very well, there were no NGs throughout the whole process.

“Crack! Over!” Zhao Junkai decisively called a stop when he saw Qi Jia fall to the ground at the last second.

Then he shouted to Yu Hewei who was reading the script,

“Teacher Yu Hewei, you have the last ten minutes to prepare. The next scene is between you and Qi Jia.”

Yu Hewei was studying the script at the moment, frowning and thinking, looking confused and entangled, and ignored him completely.

“What’s wrong? You didn’t respond when I called you.”

Director Zhao walked up and patted him. Yu Hewei then came back to his senses from his deep thoughts.

Seeing that he looked absent-minded, Zhao Junkai thought that he was feeling unwell and couldn’t help but feel a little worried. After all, the next scene was too important.

This scene of conversation in the ward is a key display of the emotional bond between Chen Duxiu and Chen Yannian, father and son, in the TV series, and cannot go wrong.

“It’s alright,” Yu Hewei waved his hands, rubbing his teeth and said, “It’s just this scene. I feel the emotional expression is a bit stiff and I can’t figure it out.”

After Zhao Junkai heard the reason behind the incident, his eyes lit up before he had time to worry.

He reached out and grabbed Qi Jia who happened to be passing by.

“Teacher Yu, tell this kid the question again.”

Yu Hewei looked at Qi Jia, who looked confused, with some hesitation. He felt that Zhao Junkai was desperate and was trying all sorts of methods.

When he was filming, Qi Jia didn’t even know where to pee and play in the mud. He couldn’t figure it out, so asking Qi Jia wouldn’t be like taking a eunuch to a brothel, wouldn’t it be useless?

Zhao Junkai didn’t care what he was thinking. After giving his instructions, he went about directing the arrangement of the set.

“Teacher Yu, is there any problem with our scene later?” Although Qi Jia didn’t know what was going to happen exactly, he thought that there shouldn’t be anything else except the script, right?

“Actually, it’s not a big deal.”

Everyone was being dragged here, Yu Hewei felt that it would be bad to say nothing, so he said casually,

“It’s the scene next, where Chen Duxiu reads the article he wrote all night to Chen Yannian after he wakes up. I played it over and over again, but I always feel that the emotions are too stiff…”

Qi Jia listened quietly. He had studied this scene for a long time, but his understanding was all from the perspective of the character Chen Yannian.

So after listening to Yu Hewei, he pondered for a while and said,

“Teacher Yu, how about this, let’s do a segment first and see where the problem lies?”

“This…” Yu Hewei was not very willing. He still felt that it was a waste of time. But seeing Qi Jia’s sincere attitude, the words of refusal turned into agreement when they came to his lips.

The two of them came directly to the set.

The staff were busy setting up the equipment and no one paid any attention to them.

Qi Jia lay on the bed and immediately got into the role. His expression and movements all showed that he was really injured.

Yu Hewei let out a cry of surprise in his heart, and his originally casual attitude turned serious.

He treated the script as a prop, and after adjusting his mindset a little, he also immersed himself in the play, reciting in an excited and rhythmic voice,

“…If the civilians of the two countries do not use force to overthrow them, no matter how much you shout about justice every day, it will be of no use. We do not advocate the use of force to despise justice, but we must advocate the use of force to uphold justice…”

Yu Hewei’s voice attracted a lot of people’s attention, but most people just took a curious look, and after seeing that it was a rehearsal, they lost interest.

Apart from some extras who wanted to improve themselves and stood around to watch and learn, the rest of the people were busy with their own things.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Qi Jia felt his blood boiling.

This is the strength of the veteran actor. His line delivery skills are simply amazing. Every word is pronounced clearly and accurately, and his tone is sonorous and powerful, which makes his scalp tingle!

The surrounding extras felt the same as Qi Jia.

“This line is too good!”

“I was shocked! I think I really got it!”

“I didn’t think so before, but now I realize that Mr. Yu Hewei is really amazing.”

“Yeah, I thought he would just talk, then play music and dance.”

While Yu Hewei was reciting excitedly and the extras were listening with fascination, Qi Jia, who was sitting on the hospital bed, calmed down after the initial excitement and began to pay attention to and try to understand Yu Hewei’s micro-expressions and movements during the performance.

Suddenly, a sense of strangeness rose from the bottom of his heart, but it was fleeting. Qi Jia didn’t have time to think about it, so he grabbed it and raised his hand to interrupt directly.

“wrong!”

This abrupt sentence instantly made Yu Hewei lose his focus, and the startled extras around him started to murmur to Qi Jia.

“How rude! How can you interrupt someone when they are talking? You have no manners at all.”

“That’s right, who the hell is Qi Jia? He actually wants to teach an old actor how to act.”

“Look, Teacher Yu Hewei’s face has turned black.”

“I’m serious, he won’t do it, will he?”

“Even if he did, I think he was right. After all, it was Qi Jia who was rude first and dared to interrupt Uncle Liu.”

Yu Hewei was very unhappy with being interrupted suddenly. The good impression he had of Qi Jia disappeared completely. He threw the script in his hand onto the bed and wanted to leave.

But considering Qi Jia’s current status and popularity, he suppressed his emotions and asked with a stern face: “Teacher Qi Jia, do you think something is wrong?”

Hearing him call Qi Jia teacher, the expressions on the faces of the people around him suddenly became interesting. Yu Hewei was obviously very dissatisfied and didn’t even bother to pretend.

Qi Jia naturally heard it, but the inspiration was fleeting, leaving him no time to explain. He picked up the script, pressed Yu Hewei on the bed, and said anxiously,

“I’ll act out an apology for you first, and we’ll talk about it later.”

When Yu Hewei heard this, he immediately became unhappy. What kind of logic is this? You interrupt me and want me to apologize to you later?

In anger, he wanted to get up and leave, but before he could do anything,

The next second, Qi Jia’s first sentence shocked him onto the bed.
