Half an hour later, Director Li finally selected 5 female extras, but he could not find another extra that stood out to him like An Qi.
"Okay, 60 a day, I'll take care of the food, and the director will give you a show later." Director Li said and returned to the theater.
"You, braided guy, come with me." Director Li pointed at An Qi.
An Qi was startled at first, and then quickly caught up.
"How are you preparing your lines?"
“Basically OK”
"Little girl, she's quite powerful. Tell me again." Director Li stopped.
An Qi also pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Empress, please don't do this. Your Highness, he also has his own reasons."
"Mother, great news, your highness's teacher has returned to the court."
"This slave can't bear it anymore. Why does the empress wrong me so much?"
There are only a dozen words in each paragraph, but the tone and demeanor give people an immersive feeling.
The cadences, priorities, and rapid changes in tone shocked Director Li.
"Your name is An Qi, right? Which school did you graduate from?"
"No, I'm self-taught, Director Li."
"You are very talented. I will give you the role of the palace maid. It costs 180 yuan a day and takes three days to shoot."
"Thank you, Director Li, thank you, Director Li"
An Qi's excited eyes shone with light, she raised her little fist high and jumped up.
Her girlish liveliness comes alive at this moment.
"Dream back to the fourth brother, the first show in Hengdian" as the venue affairs were being decided.
The male lead and the female lead began to walk into the camera, expressing affection.
"Your Highness, don't do this. I'm just a palace maid and I'm not worthy of what you do."
"But I love you, I love you, and I want to ask my father for a decree."
An Qi felt indescribably awkward watching the two actors' over-the-top performances.
To be honest, the relationship between them should not have reached this level yet, why are their expressions so crazy?
The same goes for the male protagonist, he seems so brainless, and he was just roaring when he said this.
"Stop, stop, stop, you can't stop roaring, so affectionate, so affectionate." Director Li also shouted at this time.
The male protagonist is also a newcomer, but his agent is quite powerful and is a friend of Director Li, so he arranged a role as the protagonist.
An Qi couldn't stand the performance that left her speechless. She took her own lines and continued to study.
From these more than 200 words, An Qi can actually see the emotional fluctuations of the male and female protagonists, from falling in love to strangers, to separation between life and death, and finally staying together for a lifetime.
"That palace maid, it's your turn." At this time, the steward called An Qi.
An Qi stood up immediately and raised her hands.
I ran quickly and came to the field attendant.
"Remember your lines. You can only say a few words for this scene. Don't make any mistakes for me." The steward reminded me again.
An Qi definitely nodded.
"Dream back to Fourth Brother, Hengdian, second game once, start"
In this scene, there are only the heroine and An Qi, and the other maids are just background walls.
"Agarwood, do you know His Highness the Second Highness?" An Qi asked.
The heroine was silent, looking down at the jade pendant in her hand.
"Well, since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."
After saying that, An Qi left the heroine angrily.
"Click, OK, go over it again," Director Li shouted happily.
In the theater, only the director can shout "Ka".
This was the only scene that I played over again today. The previous scenes between the male and female protagonists had been clicked at least twenty times.
This time the heroine only needs to look at the jade pendant affectionately, and all the lines are An Qi's.
"We're done for today, the extras can pay their wages to me," the assistant director in a vest shouted with a loudspeaker.
"An Qi, come here," Director Li called to An Qi.
An Qi heard this and ran over, a little excited, because she was not tired at all today and earned a thousand yuan.
"Director Li, what can I do for you?"
"How do you feel about your performance?"
"It's not very good, my expression and movements seem to be a little off." An Qi said her shortcomings sincerely.
"You're quite humble. I suggest you find a place to study systematically." Director Li took out his business card and handed it to An Qi.
The meaning was obvious, Director Li recognized himself.
"Thank you, Director Li, thank you, Director Li." An Qi took the business card with respectful hands and bowed to Director Li.
On the way back to the rental house, An Qi hummed a ditty, the song "I'm a Girl" from her own planet.
Yanyan followed her, "You are so excited today, why would you invite me to dinner? The iron rooster has plucked its feathers."
"Cut it, you can order any skewers later, don't waste it."
"Make a lot of money?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's less than two hundred."
An Qi stretched out two fingers and waved them around in front of Yanyan's eyes.
"Less than two hundred!" Yanyan's eyes widened.
"You, you shouldn't be unspoken by that director, right?"
"Go away, I can't let good farts out of my mouth, I took a role with lines." An Qi told her own experience.
Yanyan looked at An Qi with admiration, "I want to eat ten skewers of mutton!"
In the rental house, the two sisters were wearing pajamas and eating kebabs on the floor with their bare feet.
"That's great, sister. You've finally made it. The extras with lines are much better than those background walls."
Yanyan raised a can of beer and drank it.
"Idiot, you can do it too, my good sisters will take care of you."
"Me? I've been in Hengdian for three years, and it's still the background wall"
Yanyan stood up as she spoke, "What's wrong with me? I have a good figure and a face that's no worse than that of a celebrity. That's why no talent scout takes a fancy to me."
"Yes, yes, yes, we, Yanyan, just have one chance to drink."
The two sisters just drank and drank, then hugged each other and fell asleep.
[System settlement in progress]
The host performs a palace maid with lines today, and the reward skills are palace maid etiquette (Part 1)
Skill: Maid Etiquette (Part 1)
In her sleep, An Qi heard such a sentence, and then she came to a classroom with only one teacher and students.
"Today I will teach you the etiquette of a palace maid, so watch it."
It seems that An Qi can only stay fixed at the bottom of the stage, watching the students' movements, the etiquette of the court ladies in the Qing Dynasty, the etiquette of the court ladies in the Ming Dynasty, and the etiquette of the court ladies in the Song Dynasty.
Each dynasty is very different, but for An Qi, this seems to be an infinite cycle.
Performed over and over again.
"Okay, it's your turn." The female teacher looked at An Qi.
Then Angel's figure suddenly appeared on the stage.
"Qing Dynasty palace maid, salute," the female teacher said seriously.
An Qi started doing it in a decent manner.
"Get down on your knees"
"Raise the handkerchief"
"Eyes! Don't raise your eyes."
"Don't bend your back"
"Watch it again"
Then the student did it again next to An Qi. This time An Qi looked carefully and the student looked like her.
"This, how can this be me?" An Qi wanted to run but her feet were fixed to the stage, unable to move.
"Want to leave? Once you have learned everything, you can leave," the female teacher said fiercely.
[Please host to claim the next day’s sign-in reward]
A turntable appeared in front of An Qi again.
After a night of tossing, An Qi's pajamas were soaked through. Looking at Yan Yan beside her, she was sleeping soundly.
"Spin it for me and I'll get a golden reward," An Qi prayed again.
