Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 37 Trailer

Compared to the shabby crew of Rurouni Kenshin, which consisted of just a dozen people, the crew of Ancient Love Song was of a much higher standard.

Hundreds of people were busy on the crew, with lighting, photography, props, extras, and supporting actors all ready to go.

In the dressing room, Su Yan, wearing a new look of long straight black wig, looked in the mirror.

He has a slender figure and is dressed in a plain white brocade robe with blue edges. Compared to the cold-blooded killer look in Rurouni Kenshin, Su Yan now looks like a scholar.

"Not bad." Su Yan was impressed by his own handsomeness.

After all, he wasn’t so handsome in his previous life. After taking a deep breath, Su Yan walked out of the dressing room.

"Hello, Teacher Su Yan."

"Hello, Teacher Su Yan!"

As he walked along, the staff along the way would stop what they were doing and greet Su Yan.

In the Xia country's film and television market, screenwriters and producers have almost the same status on the set.

If Su Yan was not satisfied with them, even if they were crew members chosen by Shinozaki Ikumi, they could be kicked out with just a few words from Su Yan.

But it is also because of this that the Qingfeng drama has become what it is today due to the willful behavior of Qingtian Sanji.

He is not only the chief screenwriter, but also has a huge influence on producer Tu Heng.

Walking into another room, Su Yan heard several familiar voices before entering the door.

"How is it? Do you think this makeup is okay?"

"So beautiful, Qing Yuan, the ancient costumes of Xia Country are much more gorgeous than the ancient costumes of Sakura Island in Rurouni Kenshin."

"I was worried that your Yukishiro filter was too heavy, but after changing your makeup, your whole style has completely changed."

"Qing Yuan, try to act out the look of Lu Yuan in his youth. I'll see if there's anything missing so I can ask the makeup artist to add it."

Su Yan arrived at the designated place, where the makeup artist of the crew helped Gu Qingyuan put on the final touches of her makeup.

Director Shi Peihua and producer Shinozaki Ikumi both chatted with Gu Qingyuan with smiles on their faces.

Everyone got along very well when filming Rurouni Kenshin. Shi Peihua basically recognized Gu Qingyuan's acting skills and would not put on airs as a director in front of her.

Su Yan walked into the room and took a look.
At this time, Gu Qingyuan was wearing a red dress with makeup on her eyebrows. Her clear and bright eyes flashed a hint of tiredness and wisdom, and her skin was fair and her lips were rosy.

Lu Yuan, who appeared in the first episode of Ancient Love Song, is 36 years old. The emperor is an idiot, and basically the entire country is controlled by her as the queen.

Su Yan was still worried that Gu Qingyuan wouldn't be able to act out that feeling, but after just one look, he actually approved of it.

When Shinozaki Yumi, Gu Qingyuan, and Shi Peihua looked at Su Yan, their eyes lit up.

They had similar feelings towards Su Yan. Now Su Yan looked around with his clear big eyes, which was completely different from Kenshin's style.

"Hello, Teacher Su Yan." Gu Qingyuan's previously calm face revealed a faint smile and said softly.

"Hello, Lu Yuan." Su Yan responded.

Gu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized that this was Su Yan expressing his approval of her makeup.

"But speaking of it, there are not many people whose names contain the character 'Yuan'. The heroine in your script, Su Yan, is named Lu Yuan, which is exactly the same as Gu Qingyuan's 'Yuan'. It feels like reference. Teacher Su Yan, did you choose this name because you were thinking of working with Gu Qingyuan again from the beginning?" Shi Peihua and Su Yan were familiar with each other, so she joked directly.

"Or, it's not possible that Lu Yuan's character prototype was designed based on Gu Qingyuan."

"This is pure coincidence." Su Yan said.

"The personality differences between Lu Yuan and Gu Qingyuan are still very big. But now you have only seen the scripts of the first three episodes, so you won't have too deep feelings.

Why is the heroine Lu Yuan named with just one character, Yuan?"

"It will be revealed in the script of the last episode of Ancient Love Song. This is a small foreshadowing."

"And why I have certain requirements for the makeup and clothing of the two characters in this drama, and why Lu Yuan wears a bright red palace dress at the beginning of the plot, and her clothes become more and more plain and elegant in the subsequent filming."

"Why does the male protagonist Shen Buyan wear plain clothes when he first appears, and the color of his clothes will become darker and darker as time goes on? These are all metaphors and foreshadowings. After all the episodes are filmed, everyone will be able to understand the deep meaning behind them."

Gu Qingyuan's eyes became curious.

She had indeed heard that before the filming of this drama began, Su Yan had made a series of requests to Shinozaki Yumi.

For example, when it comes to important interludes, Ikumi Shinozaki has to respect his choices, and Su Yan has to get involved in the makeup and clothing. As for the location selection of some important shots, although it would be a bit more expensive to shoot on location, he also requires Ikumi Shinozaki to squeeze out the budget and not to mess around in the studio.

Su Yan even said that the script of the first episode of Ancient Love Song, which seemed ordinary and a bit confusing, was actually full of foreshadowing throughout the entire work.

"The last episode?" Shinozaki Ikumi became interested.

"You figured out the script for the last episode."

"I've only confirmed some of the foreshadowing." Su Yan smiled, but did not give a clear answer.

Otherwise, if Shinozaki Ikumi asked, wouldn't she know that the ending of this drama was a very sad story?
It doesn't matter if she knows the ending, but if she asks Su Yan to change the script, there will inevitably be an argument.

Because of the depressing ending of Rurouni Kenshin, she is remembered by many Kenshin fans. She doesn't want to continue to be scolded for making a tragic work.
The three of them were talking as the sky gradually darkened.

Su Yan only took two days to shoot the modern plot of the first episode of Ancient Love Song.

But the plot of the second half of the first episode is all night scenes.

The sun sets and night falls.
The imperial city buildings constructed in the Shanghai Film and Television Base were also hung with lanterns, creating a magnificent look.

The props needed for filming, such as the willow branches and the mustard greens and boiled eggs that the Sheng people eat during the Shangsi Festival in the play, have been prepared.

Gu Qingyuan looked at Su Yan, who was several meters away from her, and spoke.

"Teacher Su Yan, please give me your guidance in the next three months. Be it the martial arts scenes, or the ancient musical instrument guzheng that the heroine Lu Yuan will use during the filming process as you said. Although I may not be as proficient and knowledgeable as you are, I will try my best, at least to not let you down in the filming and editing of the scenes." "Same here, I also need to learn from you in acting." Su Yan said with a faint smile when he heard this.

Time is up.

Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan walked towards the camera in front of everyone in the crew.

It was the second time the two worked together, and there was no tension.

The scene to be filmed tonight is the first meeting between the male protagonist Shen Buyan, who came from the modern era to the ancient Sheng Kingdom, and the demon queen Lu Yuan.

Time passed and it was late September.

During this time period, major TV stations have already started promoting their new dramas to be broadcast next season.

"Doctor Lonely" is an A-level doctor workplace drama produced by Shanghai TV with an investment of 4300 million yuan.

Zhongxia TV invested 3800 million to produce the A-level fantasy horror drama "The Man in the Painting".

Sakura TV invested 3900 million in an A-level drama, "The Gilded Man", which tells the story of workplace struggles.

For this kind of A-level drama, their promotional advertisements are directly based on the dramas aired in the prime time of this season, and they are seamlessly connected after the end of each weekly broadcast.

Before they were even aired, the three dramas had already attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of drama fans in Xia Country.

Moreover, these three dramas have a good understanding with each other. They are broadcast separately in the three prime time slots of 8 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to avoid competing for ratings and audience in the same time period, which would cause a lose-lose situation.

Sakura TV also invested 2900 million in the B-level food drama "Midnight Gourmet", 2700 million in the B-level love drama "Under the Blue Sky!", and 1500 million in the C-level fantasy love drama "Night Sakura".

The TV stations have also made great efforts to promote these three dramas, and their launch trailers will be given a place during the advertising breaks during the prime time of the TV stations.

As for the seven or eight C-level dramas broadcast by Sakura TV during the autumn season, including "Gu Xiangsi Qu", although there will be a certain amount of advertising resources allocated to the TV station, after all, the advertising is only carried out during time periods when there are not many audiences, and the effect is obviously much worse.

But even so, for those fans of Rurouni Kenshin, the news of the release of the trailer for Ancient Love Song spread throughout the group at the first opportunity.

Detailed information about the dramas broadcast by Sakura TV can be found on the Sakura website.

Including important personnel information of the director, screenwriter, producer, actors, art team, lighting team, and makeup team.

After Sakura TV set up a dedicated official website page for Gu Xiang Si Qu on Sakura.com and uploaded the trailer of Gu Xiang Si Qu.
Rurouni Kenshin fans, who had been silent for over a month, have completely revived.

This includes Tong Xiaoqi.

God knows how she got over it after finishing watching Rurouni Kenshin in mid-August.

Two nights after watching the fourth episode of Rurouni Kenshin, she was angry for hours and couldn't sleep when she thought of the tragic love between Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin Himura.

After the fourth episode, I experienced the online abuse of Su Yan in the first week. In the second week, I realized the magic of Rurouni Kenshin's ending. In the third week, I began to understand what kind of masterpiece Su Yan created. And now...
I'm totally a fan of this couple Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan.

As a die-hard fan of Rurouni Kenshin, her only request is that he and Gu Qingyuan appear in Su Yan's new drama "Ancient Love Song".
It would be best if they played lovers in the drama.

It must, must end with a happy ending.

Su Yan must not waste his good looks, godlike talent for martial arts, and excellent acting skills by simply being a genius screenwriter who never shows his face.

That would be the greatest blasphemy to the talents God has given him.

With all kinds of expectations, Tong Xiaoqi clicked on the short preview video of Ancient Love Song on Sakura.com.

The picture paused for half a second, and then a familiar voice sounded.

I must change her fate

A man dressed in plain white brocade clothes with blue edges, with a handsome face, elegant appearance, and a firm gaze appeared on the screen.

Tong Xiaoqi's breath was instantly choked.

这 是
Su Yan.

The narration began to emerge.

"Su Yan as Shen Buyan"

【We are not casual acquaintances! 】

Another familiar female voice sounded.

A beautiful woman in red appeared, her fingers brushing across the strings of a guzheng.

"Gu Qingyuan as Lu Yuan"

The two people who appeared in the first three seconds of the trailer already told Tong Xiaoqi very clearly.

The male and female protagonists of this drama are played by Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan.

At this moment, those Kenshin fans who had already seen the trailer began.

Barrages of comments floated across the screen.

【Fuck! 】

[These two have collaborated again! ]

【Great! 】

[I must follow this drama! ]

[Don't say it, I will definitely watch this drama! 】

[Teacher Su Yan understands! As long as this drama can make up for the regrets of Rurouni Kenshin, Teacher Su Yan, I will be your fan for life! ]
