After Jiang Jingyu finished speaking, he let go of Ji Yanli's hand and turned to look out the window.
Ji Yanli's hand that was frozen in mid-air slowly fell down. He glanced at the back of his hand, with a dark look in his eyes.
Tianyu was not at Ji's Group headquarters. Ji Yanli asked the driver to take Jiang Jingyu to Tianyu and then returned to the company.
Except for the serious director, the crew of "Empress of Daye" are very easy-going and took the initiative to say hello to Jiang Jingyu after meeting her.
"Teacher Jiang is here."
"General Zhu has two scenes today, come on!"
Jiang Jingyu smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your encouragement."
After saying that, she walked into the dressing room, sat in front of the dressing table and let the makeup artist arrange her look.
During this period, Chu Yue sent a message saying that she had something to do today and had to come over later.
Jiang Jingyu put on makeup and came to the camera. Based on her understanding of the character, she acted out the scene where General Zhu was asked to go to the border to support his father and brother, fearing that his mother would be sad and leave home overnight.
Originally I thought she was just a showman, so the crew specially prepared a prop Trojan horse for her.
But who would have thought that the moment Jiang Jingyu entered the camera, she walked straight to the horse that was as tall as a person. She grabbed the reins with one hand and stepped on the pedals with one foot, turned over and mounted the horse. The whole movement was done in one go, without any sloppiness!
The crew members were shocked when they saw this, and even the director had a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Yesterday, after Jiang Jingyu passed the audition, her assistant sent all her information to the director. The director usually doesn't pay attention to news in the entertainment industry and concentrates on pondering the script.
It can be said that yesterday was the first time he learned about Jiang Jingyu.
After seeing the comments about Jiang Jingyu on the Internet, the director didn't take it to heart.
Yesterday's audition showed that Jiang Jingyu is indeed more in line with the image of General Zhu. That's enough. As for how others evaluate her, the director doesn't care.
He only believed what he saw.
What we are going to shoot today is the scene where General Zhu leaves home in the middle of the night and goes to the frontier. In the past, the director always pursued real guns and live ammunition when filming. Therefore, after the actors are confirmed, if there are horse riding or fighting scenes in the scene, the director will notify the actors in advance to spend some time. Time to learn.
But Jiang Jingyu only passed the audition yesterday to replace the previous actor. The director was not sure whether she could ride a horse, so when the crew led the horse to the studio, he ordered someone to prepare a wooden horse prop.
Jiang Jingyu's smooth movements just now made the director and crew look at her with admiration.
Jiang Jingyu was wearing a battle armor and sitting astride a horse. She pursed her lips and looked at the mansion in front of her. Through the camera, she could feel reluctance, sadness, hesitation and other emotions changing on her face.
In the end, these emotions all turned into determination and determination.
"Mom, my daughter will definitely come back with her father and brother!"
After saying that, she tightened the reins and turned the horse's head, slowly rushing towards the darkness ahead.
She had just walked a little further when the closed door behind her opened.
A woman with red eyes walked in tremblingly.
As if it was a psychological connection between mother and daughter, Jiang Jingyu, who was riding into the darkness, suddenly tightened the reins and turned to look behind him.
When she looked there, she saw her haggard mother holding on to the door frame with a sad look on her face, stretching out her hand in her direction, but no sound came out from her mouth.
Jiang Jingyu frowned tightly, her vision blurred by tears. She gritted her teeth and pinched the horse's belly hard.
"drive!"
The moment the horse swept forward, hot tears dripped from the corners of Jiang Jingyu's eyes.
The scarlet armor flashed by in the night. The delicate daughter of the Zhu family tied up her black hair for her father and brother. Her beautiful skirt was replaced by the hard armor, and she traveled across mountains and rivers to the frontier to fight!
"Card!"
The director's loud voice rang out in the studio, and everyone in their daze was brought back by this shout.
They looked straight at Jiang Jingyu who got off his horse and walked towards them, the shock on their faces undisguised.
"The queen of bad dramas recognized by the entertainment industry? A showman who cannot be reused?"
"If this can be called the queen of bad dramas, then I pray that our crew will give it a try!"
“I originally thought it was a last resort that I had no choice but to make, but I didn’t expect that it turned out to be a good one!”
"Our crew found a treasure this time!"
The crew members spoke to each other and expressed their praise for Jiang Jingyu’s performance just now!
The director, who has always been serious about his words, gave Jiang Jingyu a thumbs up and praised without hesitation: "Good acting, keep up the good work!"
In the end, Jiang Jingyu relied on her memorization of the content of the novel and her background in a major to get through the scene.
"Have you read the novel Empress of Daye?"
It is rare for a director to talk to the actors in a pleasant manner about topics other than the script.
Jiang Jingyu nodded: "I've seen it, I've seen it three times."
The director praised: "You have a good vision! This time you found the right person by mistake!"
Because Jiang Jingyu had read the original novel, the director chatted a few words with her about the plot in the novel. He wanted to give it a try and asked Jiang Jingyu for her opinion. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingyu had unique insights into certain plots.
The director became interested and asked Jiang Jingyu to sit aside and watch while the other actors were performing. They would chat a few words from time to time, and Jiang Jingyu also enjoyed it.
The time came to noon unknowingly, and Chu Yue rushed over after finishing the matter.
Seeing that her best friend was having a lively conversation with the director, Chu Yue raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms and came behind the two of them.
"I've also read this novel, can you add me?"
Chu Yue bent down to the side of Jiang Jingyu's cheek, curled her red lips and joked.
"Yueyue? Why are you here?"
Jiang Jingyu looked at the beauty beside him in surprise.
Chu Yue raised her watch in front of Jiang Jingyu: "Here, come to pick up my dear Princess for lunch. I wonder if Her Majesty can give me a favor?"
The director looked down at the time and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I forgot the time when we were talking about it. Come on, let's go. Don't delay your lunch time."
The director spoke and the crew dispersed.
Chu Yue held Jiang Jingyu's shoulders like a big sister and looked at her with a half-smile: "I just had something to do and was delayed all morning. Why is my baby suddenly so familiar with the director?"
In the past, Jiang Jingyu always acted like a young lady, acting as she pleased without communicating with the director at all.
Now I can actually see her sitting with the director to discuss the plot, which Chu Yue never dared to think about before.
Jiang Jingyu curled her lips: "The director is very dedicated and his insights into the plot are very sharp. I am very happy to be able to discuss the plot with him."
"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, young lady, let's go, a new steakhouse has opened nearby, give it a try, the food will be delicious, and you will be twice as happy!"
Chu Yue took Jiang Jingyu to a newly opened restaurant near the company.
"I'll go, my ideal type!"
