In this era of variety shows blooming everywhere, if a variety show's ratings can reach 1.0, it is considered a qualified work.
If it is 2.0 or above, then this program is likely to be the flagship variety show launched by the local station.
And now, "The Year of the Singer" has only released its second episode, and the ratings have actually reached a terrifying 4.0.
And this is the knockout round!
Wouldn’t the ratings of the next semi-finals have to break 5, maybe even break 6?!
Early in the morning, many people were talking about it.
Li Yi opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the sunshine outside the window, which was already shining brightly.
He rubbed his neck and looked like he wasn't awake.
After finally washing up, he and Song Yingying got on the plane and returned to Hangzhou.
It was already afternoon when he returned to Hangzhou, but Li Yi went directly to Hengdian Film and Television City instead of taking a rest.
Because he knew that if he delayed for one more day, the "Myth" crew would spend a lot more money.
When Li Yi came to the set, all the crew members applauded.
"Welcome back Brother Yi!" The cameraman whistled loudly!
"Welcome! Congratulations to our Li Yi for winning first place again!"
"Brother Yi, the "Fairy Tale" you sang is so beautiful."
Li Yi was very embarrassed and asked: "Have you seen it?"
Director Jiang Jiajun said: "Of course I watched it, we watched it together as an organization."
Brother Cheng Long came over from the rest shed at this time. He said happily: "I didn't expect you to win the first place again! Yes, it seems that you do have the talent to be a singer."
"I still like to be an actor." Li Yi smiled.
"No wonder you came to our crew as soon as you got off the plane." Hu Ge said with a smile, "I've been waiting for the scene where you enter the palace and become a eunuch."
After Li Yijing Huge reminded him, he remembered that before going to the Mango Stage competition, he had just played the role of entering the palace as a eunuch!
Li Yi's lower body couldn't help but tremble. He always felt that there was so much space down there.
Seeing that Li Yi was back, Jiang Jiajun simply filmed the scene where he was a eunuch.
He smiled evilly and said, "This is the first time I photographed a handsome guy like you as a eunuch."
"This is also my first time to play a eunuch!" Li Yi thought to himself that if it weren't for the purpose of giving full play to the eunuch's acting skills, he would not "abandon" his "brother."
Li Yi walked into the dressing room and waited for the makeup artist to dress her up.
When Gao Yao entered the palace and was castrated, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were rudimentary, and he was in a state of desolation.
Especially that face, there is a lot of dirt and grime.
The makeup artist was very professional. He slowly applied makeup on Li Yi, quickly turning his delicate face into a look that was disgusting.
Even Hu Ge on the side couldn't help but said: "You look too much like a eunuch."
"Bah, I am a down-and-out person, okay?" Li Yi scolded with a smile.
Soon, Li Yi was taken to a room by the staff. There was a bed in the middle with ropes around it.
This scene made Li Yi always feel
Jiang Jiajun asked Li Yi: "Are you ready?"
Li Yi nodded.
"Okay, all departments, pay attention!"
【The lighting team is ready!】
【The photography team is ready!】
【Equipment group is ready!】
The stage manager took the clapper board and shouted: "Scene 18, Act 3, begin!"
As soon as the play started, several eunuchs grabbed Li Yi and pushed him onto a wooden bed.
Li Yi was helpless. He shouted: "You, what are you doing?"
The eunuch tied his hands and stuffed his mouth with a dirty gray cloth.
Li Yi kept banging his head on the wooden board and struggling with his hands.
Jiang Jiajun watched Li Yi's acting skills on the monitor and said to the cameraman of Unit 1: "Zoom the camera in! I want to see Li Yi's expression! The expression is the most important!"
The cameraman immediately moved the lens closer.
At this time, an older eunuch grabbed a handful of cornstarch and sprinkled it on his hands and Li Yi's body.
At this time, Li Yi seemed to have become a high-ranking official. He became very scared, worried that he would really cut himself with a knife.
So Li Yi struggled hard.
A young eunuch next to him comforted him: "Don't be afraid. The more you struggle, the more painful it will be. Eunuch Cao is very skillful. I guarantee you will be fine soon with just one stab."
When Li Yi heard this, he shook his head desperately and shouted: "No! No!"
But his mouth was covered, and all he said was a sound of "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu".
Eunuch Cao took out a sharp knife from his tool bag, and he held the knife with an orchid hand.
This detail was caught on camera.
Li Yi looked at the sharp knife and panicked.
His eyes widened, he banged his head on the wooden bed behind his head, trying to break free.
But the plot doesn’t allow him to do this!
The knife passed through the lens at once!
Li Yi's expression was spot on, and he rolled his eyes directly.
The clenched fists of both hands finally loosened unconsciously.
"Okay, click!"
Director Jiang shouted at this time.
Many stage staff came forward to support Li Yi on the wooden bed.
But Li Yi was still in shock, so he asked: "Isn't it really going on?"
"Hahaha, Brother Yi, if it's cut, you'll feel it!" a stage manager joked.
Li Yi got up and breathed a long sigh of relief: "You don't know, I really put myself into the role of Gao Yao just now. I thought I was really going to be cut."
"Hey~ Brother Yi, how can you say such vulgar words?" One of the female crew members joked.
Another man from the stage management choked and said: "You usually watch male stars on TV all day long, but you still want to strip him naked and covet his body!"
The female stage manager's eyes widened: "I didn't say anything, don't talk nonsense!"
"No, Lili, you said it!"
"No!"
This little episode made everyone in the room laugh.
Li Yi also came to Director Jiang and asked: "Director Jiang, how is this film? Can it pass?"
"Okay, the next scene is your inner scene, you need to go dark at this time!" Jiang Jiajun explained.
Li Yi nodded, thinking that the eunuch's specialized acting skills could finally be put to use!
Before preparing to perform the next scene, Li Yi specifically checked the eunuch's information.
He didn't check a lot of information before, and he only knew some information about eunuchs.
For example, the room he just stayed in is a clean room. It is a separate room, not large.
The chosen address was surrounded by no one because there were no painkillers after castration and the pain would last for at least three or four days.
At that time, the eunuchs screamed very pitifully, like slaughtering pigs. No one dared to hear their screams, so no one lived near the cleansing room.
Stay alone in a room by yourself for three days, and let it scab over automatically, which is comparable to hell on earth.
Thinking of this, Li Yi finally understood why Gao Yao turned dark in the play. This kind of inhuman abuse had already distorted his body and mind!
Soon, he changed into a eunuch costume.
At this time, everyone on the crew was ready to start filming the next scene!
"Scene 19, Act 1, begins!"
Li Yi was cleaning a house with a roster. He muttered painfully: "It's too bullying, it's too bullying."
The eunuch's acting expertise has been activated at this time.
His voice and demeanor changed into something else.
Li Yi slowly turned his head, looked at the highest tag hanging in the air, and said word by word: "When you are a eunuch, you must also be the highest and the biggest eunuch."
He recalled that when he crossed over, he was beaten in public by soldiers on the street. The soldier kept kicking him and shouted: "You are tough! Kick you to death! Kick you to death!"
He recalled that when he was holding two steamed buns and wanted to ask the poor man to get two more, he was shouted out directly by the poor man: "Be lazy at work, be active at eating, take the bowl and get behind me!"
He recalled the scene where he was sold as a slave by Liu Bang and castrated by the eunuch in the cleansing room.
Li Yi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "I must be the tallest and biggest eunuch, I swear!"
His expression was terrifying, like a person who had been bullied suddenly awakened!
At this time, the assistant director looked at Jiang Jiajun and asked: "Director Jiang, this scene has passed."
"No need to stop, let him continue acting. The current state is just perfect as I imagined! He is Gao Yao now! He is Zhao Gao! He is the one who wants to be the tallest and biggest Zhao Gao!" Jiang Jiajun said excitedly.
