Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 344 You can always trust Shanhai’s casting!

As the most anticipated project in the current circle, every move of "Nirvana in Fire" has become the focus of entertainment reporters and the media.

Even though the filming has not officially started yet and it's just a makeup photo shoot, the outside of the studio is already surrounded by entertainment reporters and self-media people with cameras and long guns. Without asking, you know that they must want to take advantage of the time difference to sneak a sneak peek at the makeup look in order to attract some traffic.

In the Internet age, efficiency is traffic, and traffic is money!
When Zhou Hao appeared, all the cameras were instantly pointed at him. His popularity is no less than that of Nirvana in Fire itself. This attack on Huaban.com has shaken the whole circle's established structure.

What a tough guy!
When Zhou Hao walked into the studio, all the staff and actors on the scene came over to greet him one after another, with a lot of respect in their words.

Especially the attitudes of those actors, which were respectful and mixed with sincere gratitude, because many of them were victims of the black public relations system of Huaban.com, but they were powerless to fight back.

What Zhou Hao is doing now is what they want to do but dare not do!

Even director Li Guohua gave him a thumbs up when they met, "You are really awesome, you scolded me so happily!"

Zhou Hao chuckled. He didn't intend to talk too much about this topic. After all, it was not a happy thing.

Almost everyone on the scene was wearing makeup, and the makeup was basically based on the content in the storyboard of the script, which showed full respect to the original author.

"Take a look. If you think there is any problem, tell me and I will ask you to make some changes. It should still be in time," said Li Guohua.

Zhou Hao looked around and said, "It should be fine. Even if there is a problem, it is just a detail. It will be fine-tuned during the filming... Go and do your work. Don't worry about me."

After hearing this, Li Guohua left with peace of mind and began to direct the filming work on the scene.

According to the order of seniority, the first person to start filming is naturally the male lead Mei Changsu.

Jiang Shangrong, who got this role, is a serious professional student with a perfect figure and demeanor. Wearing exquisite custom-made clothes, he looks elegant and graceful.

From a distance, this image is indeed impeccable and is not inferior to the original version on Earth.

However, when he took a closer look, he clearly felt that something was not right. What was the problem? Zhou Hao himself could not figure it out for a while.

Jiang Shangrong was startled when he noticed that Zhou Hao was frowning. He quickly gestured to stop the filming, then ran to Zhou Hao with a nervous look on his face, "Teacher Zhou, is there anything wrong?"

The director and photographer nearby also looked over, confused.

Zhou Hao shook his head. "It does taste a bit off, but I can't tell what the problem is right away..."

"Come and take a look at the photos." Li Guohua waved his hand and said, "Look at them a few more times, and maybe you can find the problem."

Upon hearing this, the photographer immediately transferred the photo to his computer, opened the picture and presented it to Zhou Hao.

Unretouched green screen photos look a bit rough at first glance, but that’s not the problem.

After reading it over and over again several times, he finally understood where the problem lay.

"Eyes." Zhou Hao enlarged the picture, pointed at the eyes and said, "Mei Changsu is a man who has experienced life and death. His mental journey is incomparable to that of ordinary people. His eyes are the windows to his soul, so the expression in his eyes must be quite complicated. Your eyes are a bit too clear and sharp."

"Yes, that's it!" Li Guohua slapped his thigh and said, "This character should have that kind of vicissitudes of life before withering. Yours is indeed a bit too sharp."

Jiang Shangrong was stunned for a long while, then showed a bitter smile of sincere admiration, "I'm sorry, teachers, I'm not into the role yet, and I can't find the state all of a sudden."

"It's okay." Zhou Hao said, "It's fine as long as it feels about right. Don't strive for perfection. After all, it's just a makeup photo."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Zhou, thank you Director Li." Jiang Shangrong thanked them verbally but he didn't dare to take it seriously.

Are you kidding? The problem has been pointed out to him in person, and if he still doesn’t change, then he is just being immature!

There are so many colleagues out there with evil intentions eyeing this role, we can't be careless!
Without any hesitation, he asked for leave to rest, saying that he wanted to regain his form. Seeing this, Zhou Hao sighed helplessly. He really wasn't demanding perfection... But it was good this way, so that he could experience the role in advance.

Hu Ge in the original version was also a lucky man who had experienced a life-and-death catastrophe, so his role as Mei Changsu was almost a true to himself. The vicissitudes of life after surviving the catastrophe and the calmness and beauty when facing death were almost natural.

It would be difficult for Jiang Shangrong to reach that level... after all, some things cannot be acted out.

With Jiang Shangrong's previous experience as a lesson, the people who came on stage to shoot later all became nervous, fearing that they would also be pulled out and criticized...

Fortunately, Zhou Hao did not express any opinions throughout the whole process. He just sighed secretly: Shanhai Film and Television is really willing to spend money on costumes and props.

In terms of the design precision and texture of this costume, it can basically beat 99% of domestic dramas. At first glance, it is a luxurious high-end product, completely different from those low-quality ancient costumes in the style of photo studios.

As I said, if you want to make a good drama, the necessary condition is to spend money wisely.

Those movies that hype up the lead actors’ pay every day are outrageous...you don’t even need to watch them, they are basically 100% bad movies.

By the evening, all the makeup photos were taken. Zhou Hao helped to select a few suitable ones as promotional materials, officially completing today's work.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Zhou." Li Guohua held Zhou Hao's hand and shook it vigorously twice.

"Call me Zhou Hao from now on. You are a senior in the industry, and it feels weird to call me that." Zhou Hao shook his head.

"Okay, I won't be so hypocritical then." Li Guohua said with a smile, "It is expected to officially start filming in five days. You must not be absent then. No matter how busy you are, you must come to support the scene."

"it is good."

At noon the next day, the official Weibo account of "Nirvana in Fire" began to release the characters' makeup photos one after another.

"Handsome, this Mei Changsu is just right!"

"Brother Su, my brother Su!"

"Fuck, this Prince Jing is good, he looks like a military commander!"

"Nihuang is so cool and heroic!"

"She perfectly matches my imagination of Princess Nihuang. She's so beautiful. I really want to marry her home!"

"Wake up upstairs! This is the female general guarding the southern border. She can crush you with one punch!"

"You can always trust Shanhai's casting, it's amazing!"

"Oh, our Xingxing is also included?"

"Wow, Nana's ancient costume is so beautiful?!!"

Seeing the overwhelming positive reviews in the comment section, Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

This first level should be passed.

However, when he was preparing to take a few days off and get ready to join the crew of "Nirvana in Fire", he unexpectedly received a call from Xu Lingyue.

"There's a music awards ceremony I can't go to, can you attend it on my behalf?"
