On July 10, Li Can, Li Jingyao, and Xia Yunzhen boarded a plane with their suitcases in hand and headed to Northwest Film and Television City to film the TV series.
The crew has been filming here for some time. After all, the drama "Emperor Wu of Han" is expected to shoot about 60 episodes. Li Can will appear in more than 40 episodes, and it will mainly be in war scenes.
After arriving at the scene, the three of them went straight to the set.
Filming has already begun on site. This is CCTV’s opening drama of the year after next, and special attention is paid to all aspects. The director of this drama is Ning Ya, the queen director of CCTV. Although she is only a female director, she is very good at big scenes.
After seeing Li Can, Ning Ya's eyes lit up, "Your image is really good, otherwise everyone would recommend you."
"Thank you, director." Li Can nodded to Ning Ya calmly.
"Can you ride a horse?"
"Won't."
"Study. Master Li!" Ning Ya waved to a woman in her early 30s. She had slightly dark skin, short hair, and was wearing a sportswear. She had a well-proportioned figure. "This is the crew's martial arts. You have to work 4 hours a day." Filming. The rest of the time is spent learning horse riding from her."
Li Can raised his eyebrows, then nodded, "I know."
The director's assistant said politely: "Li Can has just gotten off the plane not long ago, let me take him to the hotel first."
Ning Ya nodded after hearing this, "Go ahead, we'll start filming your scenes the day after tomorrow, and I'll set your makeup tomorrow. Take the time to learn how to ride a horse. After all, you have a lot of horse riding scenes."
"Um."
Li Can turned around and left, led by his assistant to the hotel in the studio. In the entertainment industry, there are clear regulations on 'cafe position', and the hierarchy is very strict. Logically speaking, Li Can, who has never acted in many dramas and has always been a supporting role, is an ordinary standard room or a luxurious standard room.
However, Li Can's popularity is extremely high, especially when "One Shot to Fame" is being released recently. Therefore, the assistant reserved an executive suite specifically for Li Can. There are two bedrooms, a living room, a toilet and a bathroom, and a balcony.
After Li Can put down his luggage, he stretched his body.
The assistant smiled and said: "This hotel has three restaurants. You can order whatever you want to eat, just provide your room card and we will pay."
"I know, thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome. You don't have a driver or assistant? Then you will be downstairs in the hotel at 8:30 tomorrow morning. A car will pick you up then."
"good."
After the assistant left, Li Can began to think about this issue. Indeed, it seems a bit inappropriate that he is still considered a star and not only does he not have an assistant but also a driver. Generally speaking, child actors like me who can't film two dramas a year are followed by their parents. However, both Li Qing and Xia Shuyue had to go to work, and the family had no intention of relying on Li Can to make money.
This is very good. Li Qing has said more than once that if Li Can doesn't like filming, then he doesn't have to do it. They still have no problem raising their sons. It doesn't matter even if you don't want to work in the future, they will support you.
But just like this, Li Can was willing to come out to film and work hard to make money for the family.
"This is filming!"
Li Jingyao sat on the sofa and stretched, "It feels very good."
After arriving at the movie theater, Li Jingyao's eyes were not idle, and everything she looked at was fresh. Northwest Film and Television City is an important location for filming Han and Tang dramas. It basically replicates Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace and other places one-to-one. Moreover, there are also large markets and horse farms.
Therefore, in addition to the crew of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", there are also many crews filming here.
"You get bored after a while."
"Hehe, not really."
Li Jingyao came to the cinema for the first time. Everything she saw was new. The three of them went out for a walk in the evening and met many stars filming here. However, most of them are little famous celebrities, but they are really good-looking, and each one is more beautiful than the other. But the entertainment industry is so complicated and there are so many beauties that it’s hard to get ahead.
Li Can was also recognized. Not only fans, but also many celebrities took the initiative to chat with Li Can.
Many celebrities have regretful expressions in their eyes. Li Can is too young. If he were older, having a meal with Li Can or walking on the street might be trending.
It's a pity that Li Can is only 17 years old, an age where even the media dare not publish similar ambiguous news. They didn't dare to go too far.
In the evening, we bought some barbecue and fruit wine, and the three of us sat on the sofa and watched the World Cup.
The next day, filming officially started.
Crew racecourse.
In fact, Li Can had certain beautiful fantasies about galloping on the grassland, but in reality the reality was not that beautiful. There were feces everywhere in the racecourse. It was midsummer now, and the air was filled with a very pungent smell. Li Can frowned and took out a mask from his pocket.
Master Li saw this scene and thought about it for a while before speaking. If it were an ordinary actress, she would definitely scold her. But there was a little boy opposite her. She thought about it and said in the gentlest tone:
"Li Can, have you ever ridden a horse?"
"No." Li Can shook his head, "I only rode at scenic spots."
"Okay." Master Li did not express her position. She brought a horse and stroked it gently, "She is the gentlest mare and the 'old drama star' of the entire racecourse. She can do almost many stunts. Come out. Get familiar with it first."
Master Li stood beside Li Can, holding the reins and teaching him carefully.
Li Can saw the rapid improvement in 'riding' in the lower left corner of his sight. It seemed that Master Li was really a good teacher.
"Okay, now you hold it and walk around this venue..."
"Now you can try to mount the horse...try to make it move forward...good...very good..."
[Tip: Riding skill breaks through to level (2)]
[Physique increase (2)]
The effect of teaching with personal experience is great! The upgrade speed is so fast.
After his riding skills were upgraded to level 2, Li Can felt that his control over the mare under his crotch had been significantly improved, and Li Can could easily control its condition. Li Can made a little effort and leaned forward slightly, and the mare immediately started galloping on the school field.
Master Li was frightened by this scene. Li Can had just studied for more than half an hour! Why did you just run away on horseback?
However, seeing the state of Li Can and the state of the mare, Wu Zhi, who had been dealing with horses since childhood, immediately understood that Li Can had completely mastered the mare!
Genius, truly a genius!
After two laps around the school grounds, Li Can stopped his horse in front of Master Li.
"Master Li, how are you doing?"
Master Li raised his thumb and said, "Bull! It's better than the apprentices in our company who have been practicing for more than half a year! It seems that you and this horse have a good compatibility."
"Maybe." Li Can turned over and dismounted, "What else are you going to learn next?"
"How to fight with long weapons now, I will teach you some basic moves. Tell you how to fight better."
Master Li was very serious and responsible, especially after seeing Li Can's talent, she felt like she wanted to teach him everything she had. Although Li Can felt that the movements of fighting on horseback should be regarded as "martial arts", he did not expect that it was his acting skills that improved. Maybe the system thinks this is just a show to scare people.
However, because of Master Li's careful teaching throughout the morning, Li Can's acting skills, which were already on the verge of a breakthrough, have also increased to level 5.

"You are really a genius." Master Li smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to teach anymore. There is nothing left to teach. I will tell Director Ning this afternoon that you have started teaching!"
"Thank you, teacher." Li Can bowed respectfully to Master Li. Although it was just a job, Master Li did not hide anything from his teachings. This alone was enough for Li Can to be grateful.
At noon, I found a secluded place, and the stage management lady specially delivered three starring-level lunch boxes.
Yes, the lunch boxes on the set are also divided into different levels. It can be roughly divided into four grades: 98, 68, 38, and 18. The starring and director are naturally rated 98, the main supporting roles are rated 68, and so on.
Of course, this level is not so fixed. For example, Li Can, although she does not have many roles, is very famous nowadays, the drama management will generally treat her according to the level of the leading actor.
A famous actor once said that since he became famous, the entire crew saw smiling faces.
Li Jingyao sat next to Li Can with a sumptuous lunch box, "Cancan, the crew's lunch box also includes crab leg meat from king crab? It's so luxurious."
"It's easy to divide people." Xia Yunzhen has spent more time with the team, so she can naturally distinguish between warm and cold people. "Now that Cancan is in full swing, the drama managers have arranged top-level lunch boxes for ordinary actors. Ordinary lunch box.”
Li Jingyao stood up and looked around. In the distance, there were people squatting in twos and threes on the roadside. The lunch boxes in their hands were indeed very ordinary. Just looking at the boxes containing the meals, you can clearly feel the difference.
"Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes!" Li Jingyao sighed speciously.
In the afternoon, Li Can came to the dressing room.
"Hello, teacher, I'm Li Can, here to set your makeup."
I don’t know when everyone in the entertainment industry would call me teacher. When the makeup artist saw Li Can, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sit down, sit down."
After Li Can sat down, the makeup artist first put a wig on Li Can, and then put Li Can into the clothes of a Han Dynasty general. Finally, several makeup artists discussed it.
"Teacher Li Can, we have discussed it. Because Huo Qubing is a general, his skin will be rough. At the same time, we will draw you with harder edges and corners, which will make you appear more mature."
"Can."
Li Can nodded and signaled the makeup artist to continue the operation.
On set, in addition to makeup skills, the most important thing is lighting. Excellent lighting can make people's facial features more three-dimensional, thus magnifying advantages and minimizing or covering up disadvantages.
Of course, at 17 years old, Li Can has no shortcomings in her facial features or skin.
After putting on makeup, Li Can put on his armor, mounted his horse, and galloped around the set.
Ning Ya was talking about a play with an actor, but something didn't feel right. Ning Ya was a little anxious. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Everyone on the set stood up and looked into the distance. They saw a young general in armor holding a long spear and standing on horseback, like a god descending from heaven.
"Okay!" Ning Ya recognized that the person who came was Li Can. Her hands were trembling with excitement and she said to her left and right:
"This is the champion in my heart! Snap it quickly and keep it as promotional materials!"
Now Ning Ya knows Li Can well. He looks really handsome when he puts on this armor! To put it simply, Li Can doesn't have the same style of painting as the rest of the crew. Others are all historical dramas, and Li Can starts a fairy tale drama alone.
