They didn't have a good first impression of each other. Qin Guan liked the chubby, honest, bespectacled director, but Yin Li, who was used to revolutionary figures with thick eyebrows and big eyes, couldn't help but smack his lips when he saw Qin Guan.
The actor was a little too handsome. In the words of the older generation, he looked like a westernized officer who had been educated at the Huangpu Military Academy. Every move he made was full of charm.
Even the background of the male protagonist, who was Taiwanese, was just a medical student raised by his farming mother in the countryside. Would he be able to act out the rustic yet unsophisticated character of the soldiers of that era?
It was hard to say.
Maybe he could prove it with his strength.
Qin Guan seemed to know what the director was worried about. He took out a hat he had prepared for that day's interview from his soft black Hermes bag.
Once he entered the door, he saw a tripod with a round fork on the top and a military coat hanging on the hanger. He pointed at it and said, "Director, can I borrow your coat?"
Yin Li was stunned by Qin Guan's bold style. He nodded and said, "Go ahead." He liked the young man inexplicably.
He was brave enough not to have stage fright.
How many people had succumbed to his majestic aura and cowered in fear, unable to perform at their normal level?
It was rare to meet a young man who was not afraid of his superiors.
Qin Guan took advantage of the time to change his clothes. He looked like a different person, with an inexplicable sense of time.
On his head was a tattered military cap that he had gotten from god knows where. There was even a bit of cotton on it, and he was wearing a dusty military coat that no one could tell that it was originally emerald green.
He was holding an ordinary glass cup in his hand, which looked like an enamel jar. Qin Guan held it in his palms.
He was no longer as elegant as he had been when they had first met. Instead, he looked like a mature man who had gone through a lot of hardships.
His eyes were bright, but they were not filled with the charm of a playboy. Instead, they were filled with the unwarranted reverence for his own ideals and beliefs, as well as the sharpness of his determination to advance bravely in the service of his ideals and country.
They were dazzling and nostalgic.
Yes, that kind of look no longer existed in that era.
That kind of pure, wholehearted devotion to the country, faith, and revolution had disappeared along with the passing of a generation. Such a trace could no longer be seen.
Qin Guan didn't say a word. He just stared at Yin Li silently, as if he were his direct superior and he would carry out his orders without hesitation.
Yin Li suddenly looked back and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"You passed."
Qin Guan was still looking at him like that. There was no change in his expression.
‘CUT？ Cut? "
Qin Guan relaxed and smiled at Yin Li. "When can I start filming, Director?"
"You can come tomorrow and meet the other crew members. We will leave this week."
"Thank you, director! I'll go back now. "
"Okay! Hey, Qin Guan, put the coat back on the shelf!"
Qin Guan walked out of the office and put the coat back on the shelf.
That was close! I was so engrossed in my role that I forgot about the hat on my head.
The two groups of people were very satisfied with their meeting. Qin Guan got into his Mercedes-Benz commercial car and watched as more and more people gathered outside the factory.
"Are they going to start shooting?"
"Yes, how many Wang Baoqiangs can there be? I always feel that this child has given this group of actors a kind of unrealistic hope. '
"I abandoned my studies, abandoned my hometown, and came here without knowing if I had the ability to do so."
"He has no worries about food and clothing, and he is struggling to survive. Was it a dream, or was it the fame and fortune after success? How many people can really see clearly? '
If they could see it clearly, they wouldn't be squatting by the roadside. In the past, if there were so many people who would sell themselves into this industry, the troupe leaders wouldn't know whether they would be happy or cry.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with Qin Guan, who had already met up with the film crew.
Because among the group of actors who had already packed their bags, he saw two familiar faces that he had worked with before.
They were Li Bingbing and Gui Yalei.
She had played Qin Guan's gigolo, but she didn't have any scenes with Qin Guan in the film.
Because she was playing the role of an old female supporting character, the unmarried Xu Ruoxuan who had been waiting for him in Taiwan.
Li Bingbing, the old acquaintance of Qin Guan's, could finally cooperate with her in this film. They would no longer have to rely on unreliable directors to create gimmicks.
Because the funding for the crew was invested by a state-owned film group, it naturally brought out the style of a domestic movie production.
First of all, the shooting location was self-sufficient.
The filming of this Taiwanese setting was all shifted to Zhangzhou in Fujian Province, a small town that still retained its original ecology from the 1930s and 1940s.
Even the beautiful scenery of the water village had been restored exactly the same by China's top set and prop crew.
There were bamboo buildings, waterwheels, bridges and people.
The scenery was beautiful and fascinating.
Li Bingbing didn't have any scenes in Fujian, but she shamelessly paid for her own plane ticket to tag along. She didn't leave Director Yin Li's side at all.
Li Bingbing panicked. They had been separated for many years. The man, who had won numerous international awards, was no longer the young boy she had known.
She didn't know how high his acting level had reached. If he couldn't know himself and his enemy, then he would be the one embarrassed in the future when they acted together.
Fortunately, there was a dumb roe deer to help him explore the way. Thinking of this, Li Bingbing bit his lower lip subconsciously. It was a pity that the girl's acting skills were not good enough. If only Miss Gui Yalei had gone first.
