Chapter 166, Qiao Qiao's Little Thoughts

"Hello, Brother Lang."

"Hello."

This year, Fan Qiaoqiao is only 21 years old.

Shen Lang looked at her. She looked much more mature now than when she played in Return of the Condor Heroes.

She has large facial features and a medium-three-dimensional complexion. She is recognizable from her domineering aggressiveness, grand and gorgeous appearance, and radiant beauty, collectively known as the "CEO queen face." She does not have the "milky" and "timid" look of a young girl, nor the warm spring breeze of a person's face. Instead, she displays the unpleasant and aggressive mature charm to the extreme, with a very strong sense of aura and distance.

This is also the reason why she was able to outshine all the other girls on the red carpet later on, relying on her domineering and gorgeousness.

He is of the same type as Liu Tao. His maturity makes him more charming and his fragrance is like old wine, which becomes more fragrant as it gets stronger.

And this jar of old wine has been up and down in the original time and space.

Fan Qiaoqiao's real acting career started in 1998. Although she was willing to play Jinsuo, the maid of Xiaoyanzi, played by Zhao Wei, in "My Fair Princess" for 1800 yuan per episode, when she was performing the scene of slapping Xiaoyanzi, the momentary demeanor displayed by Jinsuo was quite manly.

In the days that followed, she left Qiong Yao, worked diligently to run her own studio, walked countless red carpets, filmed many blockbusters, made hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and also decided on a boyfriend to marry...

In the eyes of the public, she made a perfect comeback and became a winner in life. It seemed that everything she set out to do was successful. She eventually became the most lucrative, popular, mysterious and controversial female star in the mainland entertainment industry, and she truly became "Fan Ye".

But the facts have proved that Fan Qiaoqiao, who is enshrined in a high place, can fall to pieces if he is not careful.

Eventually, the “Queen of Topics” stepped down from the altar in the glamorous and extravagant entertainment industry.

"Please put on your makeup and change your clothes first."

"Ok."

After seeing Shen Lang, Fan Qiaoqiao felt excited, thrilled and happy.

Because she was really in a hurry.

After terminating her contract with Qiong Yao in 2000, she was signed by Wang Jinghua. In the same year, Wang Jinghua sold his agency to Huayi Brothers and became the general manager of Huayi. She followed him into Huayi.

Although Wang Jinghua was very optimistic about her and made a plan for her to "appear on CCTV and get good roles", she was always tepid after playing leading roles in TV series such as "Young Justice Bao 2" and "Pingzong Xiaying".

She realized that the TV series could not make her famous again, so if the TV series didn't work, she had to find another breakthrough.

In the millennium, there were two places in China's film and television circles that showed great vitality, one was Formosa Province, and the other was Hong Kong. The former focused on idol dramas, and the latter focused on movies, but TV dramas in Formosa Province were dominated by Qiong Yao, so there was only one way for her to go - the Hong Kong film industry.

By then, Zhao Wei, who had become famous for starring in Return of the Condor Heroes, had already entered the Hong Kong film industry.

She starred in "Battle of the Forbidden City" with Andy Lau, Ekin Cheng and Nick Cheung;
She starred in "Ineffable" with Wu Qilong and He Rundong;
Starring in "The Unparalleled" with Liang Chaowei, Zhang Zhen, and Wang Jingfei;
Starring with Stephen Chow in Shaolin Soccer...

It can be said that Zhao Wei has worked with almost all of Hong Kong's top stars, which makes Fan Qiaoqiao extremely envious and jealous. However, she has not found a way to enter the Hong Kong film industry at this time.

Just then, Ning Hao extended an olive branch to her.

In this movie, she plays the female police officer Chen Xiaoyu. Although she doesn't have many roles, she still feels very satisfied.

Even though this is Shen Lang's first movie, the three TV series he has starred in have had extremely high ratings, all ranking among the top three of the year. This shows the audience's love for Shen Lang and his appeal. As a result, as long as Shen Lang's drama is filmed, a lot of exposure can be obtained, which is of great help to her who is in the early stages of her acting career.

Moreover, Shen Lang is perfect in terms of appearance, figure, and career development. He is the "Prince Charming" among all young actresses. Being able to work with him is her dream.

The first scene between the two is when Chen Xiaoyu appears in the process of catching a criminal, and suddenly walks towards Shen Tao on the street and asks him to hug her for hiding.

"Hey, what are you doing..."

"Hold me and don't talk!"

"what?"

"Hey, where are you holding your hands?"

"You are sick..."

"Oh, hold me!"

……

Well, just for this 30-second scene, I had to do eleven NGs in a row.

And it was all Fan Qiaoqiao's fault, which made Shen Lang wonder if she did it on purpose.

I deliberately didn't say it because I was quite nervous to act such an intimate scene with Shen Lang right away.

"Brother Lang, director, I'm sorry, I'll adjust it a little bit." Fan Qiaoqiao blamed himself but was happy at the same time.

"Then take a five-minute break." Ning Hao had already demonstrated how to act, but the result was still not good, so he turned to Zhang Songwen and said, "Old Zhang, it's your turn."

"Okay, I'll try to see if I can help her adjust." Zhang Songwen roughly saw where Fan Qiaoqiao's problem lay.

He also joined the crew of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", playing the role of rhythm master Quan Guanqing. Today, he was called by Shen Lang to come here to play a thief. There is only one scene, and he will go back after the filming.

After his guidance, Fan Qiaoqiao gradually found his form and passed the second take after filming again.

The role of signing him has been demonstrated once again, and he can also serve as an actor trainer for Julang Film and Television.

After spending a few days together, Shen Lang discovered that Fan Qiaoqiao was much more proactive than Liu Tao and was already close to Alyssa Chia.

The signals she sends out are not as direct as those sent by Alyssa Chia. It may be because they have been together for too short a time and she is afraid of making things worse.

But after the filming was completed, Fan Qiaoqiao still gave Shen Lang his phone number and QQ number.

The hint has been given. In fact, when she starts to take the initiative, it means she has made up her mind.

Shen Lang felt that she was doing okay at this stage, and if there was a chance in the future, they could learn from her.

------

------

Shen Lang returned to the crew of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and stayed for two days. Then the large group set off for Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In order to restore the Jin Yong martial arts world in the book to the greatest extent possible, the crew cooperated with the local tourism department and invested 1.1 million yuan to build the Dali Film and Television City in southern Yunnan, covering an area of ​​more than 700 acres.

Among them, important scenes such as the Zhenlong chess game, Dali Zhennan Palace, and Western Xia Palace have been reproduced one by one.

At this point, Shen Lang has more roles to play.

Zhang Jizhong divided the entire crew into four groups.

Zhou Xiaowen and Zhao Jian led a team to film the civil and military dramas;

Ju Jueliang led a team to shoot a purely literary drama;

Yu Min led a team to take pictures of the landscape background;
Yuan Bin and Yang Junyi led a team, and this team shot pure martial arts scenes.

This arrangement is intended to improve efficiency and speed up progress.

Shen Lang and Liu Yifei are from Zhou Xiaowen's team.

They set out from the Xinchang County garrison before dawn, and along with them was Xiu Qing, the actor who played Murong Fu.

We arrived at the Qianzhang Yougu Scenic Area at six o'clock to shoot the water mill scene.

Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan fled on horseback, and the Xixia warriors chased them on horseback and rushed into the water mill; they quarreled with Murong Fu who was among the Xixia warriors; finally Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan escaped from the sea of ​​fire and flew away together.

Xiuqing has relatively few scenes, so his part was filmed first because after finishing filming here, he had to return to the county town to film the scenes at the Big Buddha Temple.

"It was not until I watched Liu Yifei's version of Wang Yuyan that I realized how determined Murong Fu was to restore his country!" This was a joking comment made by netizens in the original time and space about Murong Fu and Xiu Qing.

Unlike the righteous and chivalrous Qiao Feng, nor as good as Duan Yu who came from a royal family, or Xu Zhu who acquired peerless martial arts, the character of Murong Fu seems to be a tragedy from the moment he appears.

In terms of martial arts, he is as famous as Qiao Feng;

In terms of family background, he could be considered a down-and-out prince;
He also has a childhood sweetheart cousin who has been secretly in love with him since childhood.

However, because he did not have the halo of the protagonist, he ultimately failed to restore his country and became crazy and stupid.

In this version of "Tian Long", Xiu Qing portrayed Murong Fu's ambition and cunning to the fullest.

At the same time, because of his handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, he became the "most handsome version of Murong Fu".

Unfortunately, the drama made Azhu Liu Tao and Tong Lao Shu Chang famous, but the most promising characters Murong Fu and Xiu Qing remained tepid.

Xu Qing's acting skills are impeccable, and he completed the filming of all the scenes in less than an hour.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'll go first."

"Goodbye."

Xiuqing left without stopping.

Next, it’s Shen Lang and Liu Yifei’s turn.

The venue was rearranged.

"Scene 189, shot 11, Action!"

The staff stood on the attic on the third floor and sprayed water towards the mill on the second floor. Shen Lang supported Liu Yifei and stood at the door.

God didn't help. Suddenly, there were gusts of wind of level 3 or 5, bringing a chilly autumn breeze. The water from the faucet became foggy when the wind blew.

At this time, Zhou Xiaowen and photographer Shen Xinghao were waiting for the effect of raindrops indoors, forgetting that Shen Lang and Liu Yifei who were outside the door were suffering from the rain.

But the shooting is not over until the director calls out “cut”.

Seeing this, Shen Lang lifted up his robe and used his tall body to cover Liu Yifei.

It wasn't until Zhou Xiaowen ordered them to break into the wooden house that it had been raining for three to five minutes.

"Very good, get ready for the next shot." Zhou Xiaowen and Shen Xinghao both smiled with satisfaction.

Shen Lang's costume was wet from front to back. Even though he was strong, he couldn't help but shiver from the cold when the autumn wind swept across him.

As for Liu Yifei, thanks to his care, only a small corner of her skirt was wet.

"How did it become like this?" Liu Xiaoli frowned, looked at Shen Lang gratefully, and said softly: "Xiao Shen, go change your wet clothes quickly, it will be bad if you catch a cold."

Shen Lang's behavior just now was very similar to Duan Yu's meticulous care for Wang Yuyan. Liu Yifei was so moved that her eyes were red, and she murmured: "Brother Lang~"

Shen Lang went to the next room to change clothes, but they only had one set of each type of costume jacket, and this part of the plot was connected. In order not to be exposed, he could only change his underwear, wring out the jacket and continue wearing it.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yifei felt very sorry for Shen Lang and couldn't help but complain about the crew.

Zhou Xiaowen was also worried that Shen Lang would catch a cold. The illness of the leading actor would have a great impact on the crew, so he asked someone to make some hot ginger tea and speed up the filming to finish the scenes here as soon as possible.

Shen Lang and Liu Yifei adjusted themselves and went up to the second floor of the wooden house.

What was filmed immediately was Wang Yuyan, who was poisoned by the Beisu Qingfeng poison and felt weak all over. Because of the severity of her injuries and being drenched by the rain, Duan Yu had to close his eyes and change clean clothes for her.

Liu Yifei had to take off her coat to expose her shoulders. Although she was wearing a tube top underneath, she was still embarrassed.

You know, in "The Story of a Noble Family", the most intimate scene between her and Shen Lang was just holding hands.

Now they were face to face, at close distance, and Shen Lang wanted to take action. A shy blush instantly appeared on her face.

Although Shen Lang is a scumbag, he is not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in the name of filming.

Seeing his clear eyes, Liu Yifei's heart slowly calmed down and the blush on her face faded a lot.

This state of the two people exactly matches the state of Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan.

One treats the other person as a goddess and dares not have any blasphemous intentions.

A shy and struggling woman, bound by the etiquette of physical contact between men and women.

If you are in good condition, you can pass it in one go.

Then, the scene shifts to the outside, and the only part of the entire water mill left is Duan Yu riding a horse and taking Wang Yuyan away.

After a simple rehearsal, both of them knew how to ride a horse, so there were basically no problems and they got through it in one take.

The filming at the water mill went very smoothly and we finished work at two o'clock in the afternoon and returned to the county town.

The exterior scenes of Xinchang include the Big Buddha Temple and the Thousand-foot Valley.

The exterior of the Big Buddha Temple includes the ancient temple, the Condor Heroes Village outside the temple, and the cliffs within the scenic area.

The Dafo Temple Scenic Area is not only an ancient temple, but also a national 4A-level scenic area. It consists of multiple mountain bays and is opposite to the county seat.

Zhang Jizhong chose this place as the filming location because he couldn't find another scenic spot as good as this one to shoot the Shaolin Temple scenes.

If you really go to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, you can only film at the mountain gate and the pagoda forest. There are very few scenes and you can't capture the majestic feeling.

Moreover, Zhang Jizhong has decided to continue filming the subsequent "The Return of the Condor Heroes" here, and has invested hundreds of millions of yuan to build a Condor City at the mouth of the Thousand-foot Valley, turning it into a martial arts film and television city that blends with the unique peaks and beautiful waters.

On the third day after arriving here, Shen Lang and Ju Jueliang's drama troupe went to film the scene in which Duan Yu learned the Lingbo Weibu in Wuliang Mountain.

On the seventh day, the four teams gathered at the Big Buddha Temple to start filming the battle scene of the Shaolin Temple heroes.

This evening, Zhang Jizhong allowed a group of reporters into the crew to interview the actors.

This era is unlike later generations, with the well-developed Internet, where all spoilers and leaks can be posted online.

Now it is the journalists who obtain the latest shooting situations and then publish them in newspapers, magazines and forums.

However, no matter what era it is, the efficiency of the media is equally fast.

A day later, there was a related report.

"Haah~"

Shen Lang came out after putting on his makeup and yawned several times.

It rained heavily last night. The window of his room broke in the middle of the night. His bed was close to the window, so the rain poured in and soaked him all over.

It rained so heavily that the windows were difficult to repair. We tried for a long time but failed. And the room was full, so we ended up squeezing into Yang Junyi's room.

As a result, Yang Junyi snored loudly and didn't sleep well that night.

"Brother Lang!" Liu Yifei, who was waiting outside the dressing room, saw Shen Lang coming out and walked over. Seeing that he had two panda eyes, she covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Didn't the makeup artist use foundation to cover your dark circles? This doesn't look good."

Shen Lang yawned again, and then said, "It's a thick layer. It can't be covered. Forget it. I'll just take a few shots today."

Liu Yifei said with concern: "I'll talk to my mom later and make some soup for you at noon."

"No, that would be too much trouble for Auntie." Shen Lang yawned again and said, "I'll finish work early and go back to sleep."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "It's not a problem. I'll just say I want to drink, and then I'll give it to you if I can't finish it."

Shen Lang followed with a smile and said, "So I can eat the leftovers, right?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled and did not answer.

Liu Xiaoli's care for her daughter can be said to be meticulous and she always responds to her daughter's requests. Moreover, she has seen how Shen Lang has taken care of her daughter since he joined the group. It's just a meal of soup, and she knows that her daughter has been doing this all the time.

"By the way..." Liu Yifei handed a magazine in her hand to Shen Lang, her smile faded, and she snorted, "These reporters just write nonsense."

"Really?" Shen Lang picked up a magazine. It was a well-known domestic television magazine "China TV Early Knowledge". The cover featured the actors of their drama. It was obviously a special issue using the material from yesterday's interview.

"Page five." Liu Yifei reminded.

【Visiting the set of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"——The film set is full of love

Shen Lang and Liu Yifei, who play Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, are a perfect match. It can be compared to "Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai". However, Liu Yifei is a graceful lady, very quiet, not Baochai's type, while Shen Lang is tall, sunny and enthusiastic, not Jia Baoyu's type either. This couple will definitely surprise the audience. 】

Shen Lang turned to the fifth page, read a paragraph, and said, "The title is a bit exaggerated, but the content is fine and written quite objectively."

Liu Yifei said, "Ouch!" and said, "Look behind you."

[Liu Yifei behaved very quietly on the set. She always spoke softly when she occasionally talked to people. She was never seen laughing, but she smiled often, which was consistent with the dignified and quiet character of Wang Yuyan in the play.

However, her attitude towards Shen Lang was completely different from Wang Yuyan's attitude towards Duan Yu. She was quite close to him and cared for him very much. When Shen Lang fell into the water, she personally handed him a towel and combed his hair.

In the play, they are a pair of fairy lovers that make others envious, and outside the play, they are just like a loving couple. 】

The interview ended that evening and the reporters were able to watch the filming of a scene but were not allowed to take pictures.

It happened to be the scene with Shen Lang and Liu Yifei. This was a scene after arriving in Xixia, consisting of a total of 69 shots.

In the releasing pond of the Big Buddha Temple, lights are shining everywhere. There is a row of century-old camphor trees, whose branches are more like the Welcoming Forest in Huangshan Mountain, hanging obliquely in the water and extending out of the pond.

The melancholy Wang Yuyan slowly appeared by the pool, her eyes blurred by tears and the moonlight. In the beautiful scene, she looked like a fairy descending to earth.

In order to win the heart of the beauty, Duan Yu determined to compete with Murong Fu for the chance to be the prince consort of Western Xia. After the fairy sister confessed her true love of "I cannot repay you in this life, but I hope to repay you in the next life", the infatuated young man was so surprised that he fell into the pond.

This scene was designed to have Zhong Ling, Mu Wanqing, Xu Zhu, the four sword ladies of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, two chivalrous generals from Dali and others appear together and laugh at Duan Yu.

Because Yan Danchen and Jiang Xin were delayed in filming for another team and did not arrive on time, their scenes were omitted and Duan Yu's lies were added to the dialogue: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Miss Wang's earrings were lost, and I went down to pick them up for her!"

After Zhou Xiaowen said "OK", Liu Yifei immediately went to the staff to get a towel for Shen Lang, and helped him tidy up his messy hair.

These were seen by the reporters and considered as gossip within the crew, so naturally they were made into a big deal.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "You are indeed very good to me."

Liu Yifei blushed and said, "Oh, Brother Lang..."

Shen Lang counseled her, "You don't have to get angry over a piece of news. In order to attract attention, the media often fabricate untrue news by making up stories, quoting out of context, editing and splicing. If you take it to heart, you'll be playing into their hands."

Liu Yifei blinked and said, "Well, I understand."

At this time, Ma Qi came over and said to Shen Lang: "Brother Lang, it's almost time, we can set off."

He now follows Shen Lang as his bodyguard and assistant.

Shen Lang nodded, then turned to Liu Yifei and said, "Let's go."

Liu Yifei smiled and waved, saying, "Goodbye, Brother Lang. I'll watch your performance on TV tonight."
