It's seven o'clock in the morning.
Guo Qilin returned to the hotel to rest.
Shooting can only be done at night, and sometimes it takes eight or nine hours to shoot. It is normal to stay up all night until seven o'clock.
But after cleaning up, Guo Qilin didn't feel sleepy at all.
It’s not easy to be a director. You’re always thinking about the camera. Because underwater is the highlight, the actors’ performance must be meticulous, so it’s impossible to find a stand-in.
Otherwise, how could I be so worried?
There are many people who are better at water than them.
Just as he was thinking about it, the screen of his mobile phone on the bed lit up, and the word "Zi Qi" appeared.
Guo Qilin knew that his wife had called, "Hello."
"How are you, dear? Did the filming go well? Did you just get up?"
Rubbing his temples, Guo Qilin forced a smile and said, "No, we shot all night and then we stopped talking about getting up."
"So busy."
Hearing that Dalinzi was busy all night, Deng Ziqi felt heartbroken. They were still a young couple, and their friendship was strong.
"Is there any difficulty? It's your first time as a director. Don't tire yourself too much."
"The main underwater scenes are difficult to shoot. We need a girl with good water skills. If the filming doesn't work well today, I plan to change actors."
"What kind of play are you planning to change actors?"
It is common for the crew to change actors during filming, especially now. Guo Qilin can't afford to delay, so he told some things through chat. Although his wife is not an actor, she often shoots music videos and has certain shooting experience.
There might be similar introductions. If not, he would directly discuss with the master to ask other actresses to try.
After listening to the play, Deng Ziqi had a rough idea of what kind of role he was playing. There didn't seem to be too many roles, just a few scenes, but these few scenes needed to be good, so it was difficult for him to get it.
"Wait a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Guo Qilin didn't know what his wife was going to do. Within half a minute, the video link was suddenly sent.
In the video, you can clearly see Deng Ziqi's disheveled appearance, and Deng Yiling next to him. It's obvious that the sisters are both young.
"Sister, what do you want to do? I haven't washed up yet."
The man with messy hair was pulled over. Deng Yiling was very embarrassed when she saw her brother-in-law. It was the first time she faced him like this.
"Your brother-in-law has encountered difficulties in filming and plans to find an actress with good water skills."
"Then why do you ask me? I'm going to wash up first."
Deng Yiling wanted to escape as soon as possible and stood up to leave, but was grabbed by the arm and dragged back to the sofa, "But you have a diving certificate, right? The water quality is not bad either."
Brush it.
Guo Qilin, who was tired after a night of shooting, his eyes brightened up, and he looked at the two sisters who had not yet dressed up, and looked incredulously, "My sister also took this exam?"
"It's not just her, I have one too. Don't you know that my family lives in Xiangjiang? How can I not go to the sea in Xiangjiang, so I took the exam when I was bored."
"When you're bored?"
Guo Qilin once again lamented that the life of rich people is different, and diving is just like playing. Although it is hard to get a diving certificate, ordinary people cannot imagine it and have no access to it.
But this is not the time to think about this.
"So what do you want, daughter-in-law?"
"Let my sister come over and give it a try. If it works, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, there is no loss. Anyway, you have to find an actor again."
"Eh? What? Sister, what are you going to do?"
Feeling that she was about to be betrayed by her sister, Deng Yiling was frightened and wanted to escape in various ways, but she was dragged by her sister in various ways and refused to move. She also asked her to think about it.
Guo Qilin was really thinking that Makiko had very few scenes and hardly needed any special acting skills. The only acting skills were those dozens of seconds in the water. However, that was not much of an acting skill. She was just acting like a corpse with her eyes open.
Not to mention professional actors, ordinary people with good water properties can try it.
My sister's words are not bad.
She has never appeared on the screen and people don't know her. Even if she is not good as my wife said, it is not a big loss.
"Okay! I'm in Hainan, how soon can you come over? I'm pressed for time."
"Eh? What? Don't you ask me if I am willing?"
My sister is really anxious because she is going to Hainan.
Guo Qilin laughed out loud, looked at his sister, and explained everything to him, explaining the current situation and role.
Just to coax.
When she heard about acting, Deng Yiling was very reluctant. Strictly speaking, she was engaged in music, so she could not act.
As a result, my sister and brother-in-law had no choice but to agree when it came to this matter.
"Can I?"
"Why not? Let's try again. Let's go to Hainan for a trip."
He glanced at the disheveled sister next to him and then at the brother-in-law in the video. He hesitated for nearly ten seconds before nodding.
"Then let me try."
"Great, how soon can we come?"
Deng Ziqi said, "It's very fast. I'll buy a ticket after cleaning up. I should be able to arrive in the evening."
"It just so happened that we were shooting at night too."
"Get some rest early." Deng Ziqi approached the video and opened Dalin's eyes seriously, "You are so busy that you almost have dark circles under your eyes. I will bring my sister over in the evening. You can rest first."
"Okay, call me when you get there and I'll pick you up."
After the video call, Guo Qilin felt relaxed and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect the sisters to have this side. It seemed that they got married too quickly and they still didn't know much.
After the filming is finished, I must get to know my wife better.
Bang bang bang!
While he was enjoying himself, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, startling him.
"Who?"
"Me!"
Hearing that the voice was Master, Guo Qilin immediately went to speak cheerfully. When the door opened, he found that his old man had brought him food.
Both steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk are available.
"Eat something, we'll be busy all night."
"Thank you, Master."
Guo Qilin was not polite at all when he took the things. He was indeed hungry, and he was so worried that he didn't react.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? I thought you were in trouble." Yu Qian was curious, knowing that their difficulties were not over yet.
"That's right."
When the apprentice told him that his wife and sister were coming over to try it out, Yu Qian laughed.
I never thought I could be of help here, I hope it works.
If it succeeds, Makiko's role will be hers, and they can finish shooting the underwater scenes as scheduled and get back to business.
"I will pick up the pieces in the afternoon, and they will probably buy tickets for the afternoon."
"No, you have a good rest. I will arrange for a few assistants to pick up people. You will be tired after working for a few days."
The master felt sorry for his apprentice and planned to let him have a good sleep.
"I'm going to pick him up. Sisters, come over here together."
Guo Qilin was very stubborn. How could it be possible if he didn't pick them up personally when the two of them arrived in Hainan? Yu Qian had no choice but to compromise and thought of leaving, "After eating and going to bed, tonight will be another awesome night."
"Yeah."
After eating, Guo Qilin went to bed without delay and began to sleep.
After staying up all night, how could I not feel sleepy? I fell asleep within a few minutes.
When I woke up, I glanced at the time and found it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
I woke up and rested for two hours. After receiving the news that my wife and sister were coming to Hainan, I immediately took a car to the airport.
As soon as they arrived at the airport, the sisters were no longer dressed as they had been in the morning. They came in pure vacation style, bringing a lot of things, especially Deng Ziqi, who seemed to have wanted to come here for a long time.
"Brother-in-law, how is this scene going?"
In the car, Deng Yiling was still hesitating and wondering whether she could perform well.
"You first read the script in the water. There are no lines, so just show something. That's the only thing that's difficult."
Deng Yiling took over the script. There were indeed no lines in the script, but the underwater actions and what to do were explained in great detail, and there were also text annotations.
As he watched, Deng Ziqi suddenly looked at the scenery outside the window and made a curious voice, "Aren't you going to the crew? Why are you coming to the aquarium?"
"If we want to shoot here, there is no better place than this. But let's go to a nearby place to eat first. After eating, we will meet Master. Master is probably making preparations at the moment."
After getting off the car, Guo Qilin took the two of them to eat and arrived at the scene after eating.
Deng Ziqi showed the same surprised expression as his sister. There were equipment and lighting equipment all around, and there were many people walking back and forth. Some people even went into the water to check the condition of the cage.
The scene was lively and busy, as if something big was going on.
"Yiling, how are you? Are you mentally prepared?"
Despite her reserved personality, Deng Yiling is actually just as curious as her sister. Otherwise, why would she go diving with her sister?
"Brother-in-law, please tell me more."
"Of course I have to talk about it, probably like this..."
Guo Qilin continued to talk to his sister, and the process of talking was fluent and smooth, as if he had a good grasp of everything. During this period, some staff members came over to ask about things, and he explained and handled them very quickly.
It seemed that he was the only one who was the backbone of the team, and even Teacher Yu Qian was only there to help.
This made Deng Ziqi sit beside him and stare intently.
Guo Qilin didn't know that the sisters had learned diving, but she didn't know that Dalinzi had such a side to her. This feeling once again reflected his charm and reassuring reliability.
It's almost time.
See the sun is getting dark.
The whole crew got into the mood, and Deng Yiling started to put on the diving suit. Once she put on the diving suit, she tried it briefly.
Guo Qilin found that it was not simple. Even though actresses had gone through certain training, their psychological quality was really not as good as hers.
"Are you ready? You can't communicate underwater. Everything depends on gestures. Have you memorized the script in your mind? If not, we can do it later. There is no rush."
"I'm ready." Deng Yiling took a deep breath. Acting with her brother-in-law was something she had never imagined.
She looked back at her sister, who gave her a thumbs up and encouraged her the whole time.
"Get into the water."
Thump thump thump.
Guo Qilin, Deng Yiling and the crew photographer all entered this huge dolphin pool.
The dolphin pool may look good during the day, with blue everywhere, but now it's just the looming lights interspersed in the darkness, and the sight is very bad.
Because of this, the moment Deng Yiling entered the water, in addition to her heart shrinking, she also felt scared.
Even if she was diving, she didn't do it at night. Fortunately, the water temperature was not low, so it wasn't too cold.
After swimming for half a minute, she saw the large iron cage in the center of the pool through the faint light, and then got into it first.
Through the script, she knew how she wanted to perform.
In order to determine the process, Guo Qilin chose to shoot the most difficult part first.
In this part, after Muzi found out that He Fei was gone, he unplugged the ventilator and eye mask, silently watched the starry sky under the sea in the cage, and waited for death.
"Three, two, one!"
Guo Qilin could not make a sound in the water and could only use gestures to remind the photographer and his sister Deng Yiling.
After seeing the gesture.
The sister in the cage instantly fell into the drama according to what was explained. It was when she entered the drama that Guo Qilin's expression outside the cage changed a little.
Since she has never acted, doesn't she have any talent?
Apparently not.
As soon as the gestures were made, the feeling of the play was very good. His eyes looked in one direction subtly, and then he stretched out his hand to remove his ventilator.
It's okay here, I can hold my breath, but it's different when I take off the blindfold.
Some people are born unable to open their eyes underwater. Deng Yiling does not have this problem. After taking off the ventilator and eye mask, her eyes opened wide.
Guo Qilin knew that at this moment she was enduring the sting in her eyes to play a role waiting for death.
And he was filled with despair, not even struggling. Being abandoned by his boyfriend, there was no need to struggle.
It's a pity that things are always so unhappy. Water is buoyant.
Because it was her first time trying, she didn't notice this, and her body was leaning slightly against the upper part of the cage.
A loud bang.
After Deng Yiling opened her eyes and looked upward and held her breath for a second or twenty seconds, Guo Qilin reached into the cage and put on the floating ventilator on her.
When she felt the ventilator, Deng Yiling knew to stop filming, immediately closed her eyes to relax and took deep breaths.
Although you are familiar with water, you still feel unsafe when taking a ventilator underwater. If you are not careful, you may choke on the water.
When she swam to the shore of the pool, Deng Yiling was still immersed in that sense of insecurity, her chest rising and falling violently.
"How's it going? Did you choke?" Deng Ziqi ran over to care about his sister and handed her a towel.
"No."
"Then the shoot was successful?"
"No."
The problem lies in why we can't shoot underwater scenes in a day or two. Sometimes we overlook a small detail and have to go back to the shore to shoot again and think of ways to plan.
It’s not easy going back and forth.
"Brother-in-law, what's the problem?" Deng Yiling turned her head and looked at Teacher Dalin next to her to ask. After her sister got married, she kept calling her like this. After a long time, she started to get used to it.
"There is a problem with buoyancy. The body unconsciously leaned on it. Yi Ling, when you enter the cage and take off the ventilator, try to control it. Don't worry, let's get familiar with it first. If you encounter discomfort underwater, just give up. We Beside you.”
"Yeah." Deng Yiling nodded,
The crowd was quiet for a while. The underwater scenes were not so easy to shoot. All information could only be conveyed through gestures, which was very troublesome and time-consuming.
But this time Guo Qilin saw hope in his sister. The moment she took off the ventilator and looked up hopelessly at the starry sky under the sea, it was almost the scene he wanted.
I never expected that a girl like her could endure psychological fear and physical discomfort like that.
I owe them a huge favor.
"Take a break and we'll shoot again in five minutes, no problem."
"No problem."
"Try to shoot this scene today, and I will take you to eat delicious food every day and visit Hainan all over." (End of Chapter)
