Chapter 253 "My First-Class Brother" starts
The next day, early July.
Today is the day when "My First Class Brother" is launched.
Early in the morning, Jin Qixuan rushed to the filming location by car.
Due to my hangover last night, my face was a little swollen.
But time was tight, so Jin Qixuan could only hold his nose and drink iced Americano to reduce the swelling.
On the way, Sheng Bingxu told Jin Qixuan about various endorsement invitations.
Jin Qixuan kept replying with his eyes fixed on the documentary about high-level paraplegics on the tablet.
Speaking of which, in order to perfectly portray the character, Lee Kwang Soo worked out and went to the Disabled Persons' Federation community to experience life, observe and imitate at close range, and he was very dedicated.
It is said that because Lee Kwang Soo integrated into the group of people with intellectual disabilities without any violation, he also received a small cake given to him by a caring person.
Jin Qixuan has been running crazy road shows this month and has no time to study the role in detail. He only experienced and simulated it in a B&B for half a month.
To be honest, this high-level paraplegic character setting has severely restricted Jin Qixuan's performance.
He can only express the character's emotions through the intonation of language, facial micro-expressions and limited movements.
Performing only from the neck up is undoubtedly a huge challenge in Jin Qixuan's career.
Especially under the premise that Li Guangzhu was well prepared, just thinking about Jin Qixuan felt a lot of pressure.
Seven twenty-five.
Arrived at the filming location of the Nan Yangzhou crew.
Jin Qixuan arrived very early, and Director Lu was the only one on the set with his hands on his hips directing the staff who were busy setting the scene.
Seeing Jin Qixuan arriving, Director Lu greeted him and asked him to do the styling.
In this drama, the ages of the two protagonists range from 15 to 16 years old as high school students to 27 to 28 years old as adults.
I started acting when I was a high school student, so Jin Qixuan’s hair and makeup had to be appropriately aged.
Under Li Zhien's guidance and care, Jin Qixuan's skin became white and tender.
In addition to losing 30 pounds in two months, I don’t need any extra makeup at all.
Sitting there, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his sense of youth almost overflowed.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if Han Hyo-joo put on a little older makeup, Kim Qixuan could play her son.
After cutting his hair, Jin Qixuan looked at himself in the mirror and felt like he was back in the filming of 1988.
I have to say that hairstyle really affects a person’s temperament.
The actor who played the role of high school student Kim Ki-hyun was auditioned at Chung-Ang University's drama major, and he is somewhat similar to Lee Kwang-soo.
Jin Qixuan can play a high school student, but Lee Kwang Soo cannot.
His long face doesn’t look like a 16 or 17-year-old boy no matter how he dresses.
Therefore, we can only replace people.
About eight o'clock.
Jin Qixuan is practicing in a wheelchair.
Lee Kwang Soo brought Lee Sun Bin to the scene.
The role of the swimming coach in this movie was ultimately decided by Li Xianbin.
Jin Qixuan is still happy to arrange a marriage.
When they met, Lee Kwang Soo smiled and patted Jin Qixuan on the shoulder to say hello.
Li Xianbin looked at Jin Qixuan who turned to greet Li Guangshu and was stunned, and hesitated: "Are you...are you Jin Qixuan xi?"
Jin Qixuan was wearing a simple blue and white plaid at the moment. Shirt and jeans.
With her slim figure and makeup that deliberately reduces her age, she looks like a high school student.
The kind who will be kicked out if you go to a convenience store to buy cigarettes.
For this reason, Li Xianbin was a little bit hesitant to recognize Jin Qixuan because his image was so different from the last one at the VIP preview of "Sweatless Party".
Although Jin Qixuan really wanted to tease Li Xianbin and say that he was not Jin Qixuan to see how she would react.
But considering that Lee Kwang Soo was eyeing him next to him...
Jin Qixuan still nodded and admitted honestly.
This also aroused Li Xianbin's surprise. He searched for Jin Qixuan's information on Naver and found out that the other person was one year older than him before he felt at ease.
After chatting for a while, the two went to the dressing room to do some styling.
After a while, Jin Qixuan was tapped on the shoulder.
Turning around, his old acquaintance Liu Zaiming greeted Jin Qixuan with a smile and said: "We and I are going to work together again."
The role played by Liu Zaiming is the priest of the welfare home. He doesn't have many roles, but it's Jin Qixuan. Special guest appearance.
“Thank you for your hard work, senior.”
Jin Qixuan smiled and bowed.
“Hey~ don’t be so polite.” Liu Zaiming waved his hand and said, “Which of us is following who?”
While the two were chatting, Xue Jingqiu also arrived.
Seeing this, Liu Zaiming said hello to him and went to do styling.
Xue Jingqiu's eyes were red now, his face was tired, and his hair was a little messy. It looked like he had been forced to wake up by the alarm clock.
However, his state is very consistent with the situation where Uncle Shihe struggled all night before sending Shihe to the orphanage.
Same hangover.
Looking at Jin Qixuan's full of energy, Xue Jingqiu couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said that it was great to be young and he recovered after sleeping.
After chatting for a while, we were ready to start the power-on ceremony.
The normal process is the ceremony to worship the gods → the final makeup photo → the start of the first scene.
However, because there were too many reporters at the scene, Jin Qixuan discussed with Lu Xiang Xiaoyi and decided to hold a launch conference after the ceremony.
It’s no secret that filmmaking is done on the peninsula.
Especially in the second trailer of "Hyori's Bed and Breakfast" released by JTBC yesterday, it was revealed that Jin Qixuan will simulate the character in a wheelchair.
After a little inquiry, I learned that Jin Qixuan will be filming near the Disabled Persons' Federation Center in Nanyangzhou.
The residual heat of "Do Bong Soon" has not subsided, and coupled with the explosive box office of "The Party That Sweats", Jin Qixuan is now extremely popular.
Various streaming media want Jin Qixuan's traffic, and Jin Qixuan also wants to use these media to hype up the popularity of this movie.
The two sides hit it off and successfully held a launch conference.
Members present to take questions from reporters were Kim Kee-hyun, Lee Kwang-soo, Lee Sun-bin and director Yook Sang-hyo.
Seeing this cast, the reporters in the audience were stunned and whispered among themselves.
Lee Kwang Soo is a man favored by the God of variety shows in the variety show industry.
It is not particularly outstanding in the TV drama circle, but it is not unsatisfactory, it can be regarded as quite satisfactory.
But in the film industry, he is a bit embarrassed and has no status at all.
Not to mention Li Xianbin, he has been playing supporting roles in TV series, but there is no such person in the film industry.
Director Lu Xiangxiao has only made one movie, which was many years ago, and it was pretty good.
With this lineup, how much money did Jin Qixuan spend before he decided to star in it?
This confusion became even more confusing after the director introduced the theme of the movie.
In all of Jin Qixuan's works, there will be countless screen-licking clips showing off his figure.
And he is also a tough guy action actor on the big screen.
But in this movie.
Jin Qixuan abandoned his biggest physical advantage and familiar action areas, and turned around to challenge pure literary drama.
And it’s still limited to literary dramas from the neck up.
In view of Kim Soo Hyun’s “jewels” first.
The reporters quickly asked Jin Qixuan questions with worried doubts.
Jin Qixuan took the microphone, pondered for two seconds, and said:
“I didn’t get paid to play this role, but I really like this meaningful story.”
“ It is actually true to say that it is a transformational work. I am still very ambitious to become an actor in Ba Color Bird, and I don’t want to be limited to just playing cool roles.”
After that, Jin Qixuan also expressed the hope that everyone would not look at Lee Kwang Soo and Lee Sun Bin through colored glasses.
"Lee Kwang Soo Xi is a really hard-working actor. In order to play the role of Dong Gu well, he went to the Disabled Persons' Federation Center for two months to observe, imitate, and integrate into life..."
After finishing speaking, Jin Qixuan turned his head and glanced at Li Xianbin again and said:
"Actually, many new actors have good acting skills, but they just lack opportunities. I was lucky and was discovered by director Shin Yuanhao. So I hope I can pass on my good luck to Li Xianbinxi who also lacks opportunities."
After Jin Qixuan said these two paragraphs, both Li Guangzhu and Li Xianbin were moved.
It seems that if Jin Qixuan says some more sensational words, the two of them will give Jin Qixuan a kiss.
Afterwards, reporters asked Jin Qixuan many questions.
It feels like taking the lead in supporting a work for the first time;
Which brand is this dress from?
How do you feel about the box office of "Sweatless Party", which has over 10 million viewers? How was your relationship with IU when recording at a guesthouse in Jeju Island?
When will the new magazine be shot?
...
Looking at Jin Qixuan who was answering questions fluently, Li Xianbin showed envy in his eyes.
These reporters are all here for Jin Qixuan.
The questions asked were naturally about Kim Qixuan, and occasionally I could cue Lee Kwang Soo and Yook Sang Hyo.
But as for Li Xianbin’s question, there was no question until the end of the press conference...
At the end of the press conference, all the actors went to take makeup photos.
The media there also quickly posted the dialogue from this press conference on their own website.
Given that Jin Qixuan was at the peak of his popularity, coupled with the Internet bombardment of countless streaming media, the movie "My First Class Brother" became popular before it was filmed.
Many businesses sensed business opportunities and sent market research departments to the crew of "My First Class Brother" for on-the-spot inspections.
See if the film has commercial value, and consider related investments such as advertising placement, sponsorship, and naming.
However, many fans of Jin Qixuan had mixed emotions after seeing this news.
Usually when Jin Qixuan makes movies, he is guided by big guys like Han Xiaozhou and Seol Jinggu.
Suddenly, he himself became a big boss and started taking over the box office.
While fans have high hopes for Kim Kyi-hyun, they are worried about being dragged down by the two trolls, Lee Kwang-soo and Lee Sun-bin, and they are also afraid that the movie will be a hit at the box office after its release and follow in the footsteps of Kim Soo-hyun.
After all, Jin Qixuan has already served in the military. If the movie gets a bad reputation after it is released, where can he hide...
Jin Qixuan didn't have time to read the worried comments about himself on the Internet.
Because the filming is about to start now, director Yook Sang-hyo is talking about the first scene with Jin Qixuan, Seol Kyung-gu and Yoo Jae-myung.
The first scene shows Shihe’s uncle pushing Shihe to the Responsibility House.
The second shot shows the priest standing at the door, telling Shihe the meaning of a responsible home.
The third scene is the first encounter between young Shihe and young Dongjiu.
After the communication was almost complete, Lu Xiangxiao walked back behind the monitor and shouted into the wireless flashlight:
"The actors enter, all units prepare!"
Hearing this, Jin Qixuan closed his eyes.
The originally upright posture leaned softly to the side.
When he opened his eyes again.
The energetic and sunny energy was gone from my body.
The eyes are full of indifference, numbness and disgust towards the whole world.
The same goes for Xue Jingqiu.
The whole person was stooped, his face looked tired, and he had aged several years in an instant.
At first glance, one can tell that this man is full of stories.
"One scene at a time, let's begin!"
"Crack!"
The clapperboard sounded.
Xue Jingqiu had a sullen face, hunched over, and pushed the wheelchair Jin Qixuan was sitting on, slowly moving forward on the stone road.
At this moment, the camera followed Xue Jingqiu, moving little by little from his back to the side, reflecting the pale cheeks of Jin Qixuan who was sitting in a wheelchair.
As the wheelchair bumped along the uneven road, his body shook like a dead thing, looking inexplicably out of place.
Neither of them spoke, and there was only the sound of the wheelchair rolling on the gravel road.
Xue Jingqiu pushed the wheelchair very slowly, as if what he was pushing was not a wheelchair, but a boulder weighing thousands of kilograms.
With such a simple scene of pushing a wheelchair into the scene, a strong sense of story came over the scene.
Director Lu Xiangxiao looked at the picture on the monitor and felt his eyes light up.
The chemistry between these two is so good.
Without any words, the two perfectly displayed the character's state and emotions through their performances alone.
Sure enough, there is no real person under the great reputation, and he is worthy of being an actor among millions.
The corners of Lu Xiangxiao's mouth curled up unconsciously, and he leaned back leisurely on the chair with his arms folded, looking forward to the subsequent performance of the two.
More than ten seconds later, Xue Jingqiu pushed Jin Qixuan to the gate of the Responsible Home.
He didn't push the wheelchair in, but stopped there.
Then, Xue Jingqiu raised his head and his eyes stayed on the words "responsible home" for a while, with a trace of struggle and entanglement on his face.
After a while, he said slowly:
"Your dead mother can also understand me. I have done my best."
After that, he didn't stop anymore. He threw the "responsibility" that originally belonged to him at the door of the orphanage, turned around and left.
"Uncle."
At this time, Jin Qixuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, stopped him.
His voice was not mixed with any emotion, but anyone could tell that there was no emotion in this "uncle".
Xue Jingqiu paused, turned his head, and looked at him slightly impatiently.
"I fell down, please help me right myself."
Hearing this, Xue Jingqiu took a deep breath, turned around, walked back to Jin Qixuan, squatted down, and straightened his body that was leaning to the left. Then place your hands on your knees.
The camera slowly advanced from the side camera position and gave Jin Qixuan a close-up of his face.
There was no expression on his pale and bloodless cheeks, but his eyes showed strangeness and alienation.
After Xue Jingqiu straightened Jin Qixuan's body, he was about to leave when he heard a "thank you" in his ears.
Hearing this, Xue Jingqiu pursed his lips, looked up at the sky, and seemed to be struggling in his heart.
A few seconds later, Xue Jingqiu turned back to Jin Qixuan, took out a few banknotes from his trouser pocket and stuffed them into the pocket of Jin Qixuan's shirt, and said slowly: "We will see you later."
After that, he He lightly patted Jin Qixuan's shoulder and left as if running away.
At this time, the camera once again gave a close-up of Jin Qixuan’s face.
His expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, as calm as water.
The only thing that changes is the fading back.
……
"CUT!"
After Lu Xiangxiao shouted cut, he watched the replay on the monitor, and then took the lead in applauding.
“It’s really amazing. He is worthy of being a three-horse actor. There is no trace of acting.”
Immediately afterwards, the staff and actors on site applauded the performances of Jin Qixuan and Xue Jingqiu.
As we all know, the first scene has always been the most difficult part of filming.
Because the first scene was stuck, it was common to greet family members, change actors, and shoot for three to five days.
With the perfect cooperation between Jin Qixuan and Xue Jingqiu, they easily overcome the difficulties in the first scene.
At this moment, Xue Jingqiu no longer looked like the troubled middle-aged man he had been during the performance. The whole person was exuding a golden and dazzling "big boss" light...
Xue Jingqiu only had this A play.
After a few additional shots, the film was successfully completed and won admiration from the audience.
After taking photos with various fanboy actors, Xue Jingqiu smiled and patted the shoulder of Jin Qixuan who was going out to see him off, and said:
"Since all of us are here, the support car will not be sent away. ”
"Brother, you don't have the face to tell me about this~"
"Haha, you kid..."
After sending Xue Jingqiu away, the crew filmed the subsequent scenes step by step.
According to the shooting plan, there will be no filming scenes for Lee Kwang Soo and Lee Sun Bin in the first week.
However, these two people did not leave. They kept watching Jin Qixuan's performance on the set, and from time to time they transformed into staff members to help the set move here and there.
In his spare time, Jin Qixuan could see Li Xianbin holding a small notebook by the side of the field, writing and drawing in it.
Jin Qixuan took a closer look and saw that each actor was written on it, including some of his status and details during the performance.
Not to mention, Li Xianbin’s Xiujuan’s small characters are quite beautiful, neat and pleasing to the eye.
Noticing the sudden shadow on the notebook, Li Xianbin raised his head, looked at Jin Qixuan and smiled sheepishly: "I am recording your performance..."
Jin Qixuan nodded and said nothing.
I think he was also on the set of "Goblin" and recorded Kong Liu's performance.
If nothing else, at least Jin Qixuan learned a lot about the improvisational performances that Kong Liu was good at.
However, Jin Qixuan had just left and walked a few steps. After thinking about it, he turned to Li Xianbin and said:
"What I learned on the set is too fragmentary. If you really want to make progress, why not come to Central University to study systematically?" Let’s take a postgraduate entrance examination?”
Li Xianbin: “…”
Can we not say that taking the postgraduate entrance examination is as easy as eating?
