I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 184: We seem to have underestimated Li Xuan

At this time, the script reading of the protagonist group has also come to an end.
Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Tang Yu Xiaobao, and Anu.

The love lines of these characters, even the Drunken Swordsman and the Saint can draw a love line.

Even a dog can be used to create a CP line. This is the strategy of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

What is called.

Love.

This theme runs through the entire "Chinese Paladin", or in other words, from beginning to end, it revolves around this word.

At this point, it is very simple to find the feeling between the characters and visualize their emotions.

Lin Yueru loves Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger loves Li Xiaoyao, Tang Yu Xiaobao loves Anu, Anu loves Tang Yu Xiaobao
Let the boys and girls respond to each other with the most passionate feelings. They are all handsome men and beautiful women, so finding this feeling should not be a problem, right?

"By the way, our Moon Worshiper didn't come to the script reading." Hu Qu beside him paused and said, "His script is too simple."

"I will discuss and revise his script with him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't come."

Li Liguo didn't care that much. He had a clear idea of ​​the key points of the script. For example, the key plot of "Chinese Paladin" was actually the love between the main characters, and in the role of Moon Worshiper, the most love was presented in the father-son relationship, but in fact, it was not that much.

Or in other words, it is not particularly important. What the audience likes to watch is the idol love between handsome men and beautiful women, and the love story between fairies and female knights in the world view of immortals and heroes.

The important points have been listed, that is, the CP line between the male and female protagonists, their love, is what needs to be listed as the focus.

It is enough if these points can be performed well. Li Liguo also wants to focus on the shaping of the protagonists. The importance of character creation also varies. Now it seems that the most important element in this script, the performance of the protagonists, is enough.
"Forehead"

Hu Qu didn't say anything. The director said it was not a big problem. There was nothing much for him, a young actor, to say.
Originally, he felt the same way.

Li Xuan is just an unlucky guy.

Until the afternoon, when Li Xuan arrived on the set.

When "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to officially start filming.

Hu Qu originally wanted to see how the unlucky guy was doing during this period of time.

However, he did not feel even a little bit confused as he expected.

It seemed that the 'Li Xuan' was completely different from the one we first met.

One, with a look in his eyes that made people feel uncomfortable.

Calm.

evil.

He is completely different from the young man who just joined the crew and immersed himself in the script, looking a little green.

"Is this our Moon Worshiper?"

Li Liguo was a little surprised at this time. It was the first time he saw Li Xuan, or it was the first time he looked at this young man directly. Until just now, all his attention was on the protagonists, because the core selling point of this drama was composed of them.

No one would look at the Moon Worshiper.

The young man in front of me with makeup on.

His eyes are very deep.

So deep that it seems to be able to suck people into it.

A little.

Feeling out of place.

It looks out of place at first sight.

In this world where you love me and I love you, the wisdom and rationality in his eyes are really incompatible with this environment.

This is the script he copied.

What is the character status he found?
It seems to be true.

Something.

"I seem to have underestimated Li Xuan."

Peng Yuyan was a little surprised at this moment and looked at Li Xuan with interest: "It seems that the rumors are not all exaggerated."

Although Hu Qu felt that Li Xuan was a little strange.

That feeling of being out of place.

It has always lingered in my mind.

That’s right, it’s a sense of disharmony.

Even uncomfortable.

Even when she saw him, she felt a genuine disgust. It was not the slight jealousy that she felt when Liu Yifei showed her attitude towards him at the beginning, but real disgust for this guy named Baiyue.

"Do you hate him?"

"It's a bit annoying."

"That means you've gotten into the role of Li Xiaoyao."

At this time, Peng Yuyan squinted her eyes and said, "Do you know what a villain is?"

"A villain is someone whose stance, thoughts, logic, and everything else are different from yours. You'll hate them, and they're villains to you. When you embody the character of Li Xiaoyao, he's compatible with this world, so his logic revolves around love."

"In this world where everything revolves around the word love, the rational and loveless worship of the moon is the biggest villain."

Li Xuan was able to grasp this point.

Act out this feeling.

Right.

At this time, director Li Liguo was really surprised.

Taste is something that is neither difficult nor easy.

For some people, just standing there, the smell comes.

Some people need to act.

Li Xuan, he does not have the natural temperament and talent to control "Baiyue". Some people know that he is a bad guy just by standing there.

The closest ones in mainland China include An Jiahe, and the farthest one is Guan Yu. In the older generation of crews, this kind of situation happens frequently. After all, in the older generation of crews, suitability is the biggest criterion.

You can tell at a glance which person is born to play which role. You can tell at a glance that someone was born for a certain role. Just by standing there, no one will doubt the authenticity of this role.

You will feel that he really exists and is not a false creation.

The most surprising thing about Li Xuan, the Moon Worshiper, is that he does not have this kind of trait, the kind that can be seen at a glance. However, Xu Mianjiang can at least be seen as a bad guy at a glance. If it weren't for the roles in the Ximen Daguanren series that made his reputation very bad, he would have been able to play the Moon Worshiper in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" at the first sight. Li Xuan is just a product of the power struggle.

The result was unexpected
Surprisingly, he is really good at it!

"Even if it's a power struggle between those with the right to speak, the fundamental purpose is to make the show a success."

At this point, Li Liguo knew the composition of the crew's investors - these investors could follow.

There is work to do.

You have to know that some crews, in order to promote their own people to the top, turn a blind eye to quality, and even put pressure on others to steal the show for fear that they will become more prominent.

Some strong directors can fight back against these things, but most directors still cannot defeat the sponsors and have to do what the sponsors say.

Now it seems that the sponsor of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" really wants to make the film well. This signal makes Li Liguo feel very comfortable.
"This has already exceeded my expectations. However, it all depends on the performance of the protagonists."

The filming of "Chinese Paladin" officially started.
A young boy in plain clothes, sailing in a small boat amidst the raging waves, arrived at his destined destination, a place called Fairy Island.
Li Xiaoyao, the unlucky fellow, was in his own small town, drinking wine and singing songs, accompanied by two beauties. Apart from occasionally dreaming of becoming a hero,
This Li Xiaoyao is a carefree child - except that he has dreams.

However, Li Xiaoyao has a dream, Wang Xiaohu also has a dream, and there are many people who have dreams.

The difference is.

Li Xiaoyao has a fortuitous encounter with the Moon Worshipers, which changes the course of his life. His aunt is injured and needs medical treatment from the Fairy Island. Then the Moon Worshipers give Li Xiaoyao the medicine, which allows him to go to the Fairy Island, break the restrictions, and seek the immortals and elixirs to treat his aunt.
After arriving at Xianling Island.

Li Xiaoyao saw Zhao Linger coming out of the bath.

"Wow! Fairy! So beautiful."

His eyes were wide open, and his acting was so good that it didn't look like he was acting at all. It was like he was really having lustful thoughts and drooling.

"NG, wait a minute."

"Huh? Is it my problem?"

"You do have a problem. Control your acting a little bit. You didn't act like a street kid just now, you acted like a gangster. Control your acting a little bit! Don't act like you've never seen a beautiful woman, okay?" Li Liguo was scolding Hu Qu here.

Hu Qu blushed - It’s not that I haven’t seen beautiful women, it’s just that I haven’t seen anyone as beautiful as this.

"You too, be shy, don't be angry, you like Brother Xiaoyao, he is the Brother Xiaoyao you have been waiting for for many years, your husband..."

"Yeah." The crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was very nice to Liu Yifei. They asked her to play a bathing role and only let her show her arms, while the rest of the body was covered tightly. If it were anyone else, they would not have this treatment.

Liu Yifei also quickly apologized
"I'm sorry, I'll adjust my state."

'Angry' is greater than 'shy'.

Brother Xiaoyao
At this time, Liu Yifei tried hard to control her emotions and move towards shyness. However, she was not able to get into the role for a while. Even when the director gave up on this shot, Liu Yifei said one last time.
"This is the last time, but I'll just get through this scene."

"Um"

Hu Qu has adjusted his state and is going to perform more restrainedly.
And Liu Yifei was thinking and pondering.

The 'Brother Xiaoyao' in front of me is not Hu Qu.
But
Not far away, there was the class monitor in black robe, the top student of the 2002 class of Beijing Film Academy.

"Look, you're still in good shape." At this time, Li Liguo looked at the state Liu Yifei was in and nodded slightly.

However, Liu Yifei was just looking at the "Baiyue" not far away.

In addition to blushing, she was also confused about one thing.

Who is he to me?

Why does his every move always make me think more?
The filming went smoothly, and Li Liguo gradually shifted the focus of the filming to the main characters including Liu Yifei and Hu Qu. From the very beginning, they had an encounter on the Fairy Island, fighting monsters and upgrading their adventures. Zhao Linger was guided to unleash the power of Nuwa, grew a snake's tail, and escaped all the way to escape from Li Xiaoyao, who was confused about his own identity.

At this time, the fierce Lin Yueru entered their world.

A savage and willful martial artist with great martial arts skills. In other dramas, she can also be the heroine of a heroic female hero.

In the words of Li Liguo.

Lin Yueru is responsible for the love scenes, while Zhao Linger is responsible for the emotions.
Li Liguo sighed.

Li Xiaoyao, who is full of youthfulness, hesitates between the two women. No matter how many times, this kind of love between handsome men and beautiful women is always pleasing to the eye.

At this time, Li Liguo was amazed.

"Li Xiaoyao is responsible for the youthful vibe, Peng Yuyan is responsible for the puppy vibe, Ady An is the fierce heroine, and Liu Yifei is the celestial fairy. These four people can support a complete idol drama team."

“Well, this combination is indeed a perfect combination.”

"You haven't left yet?"

"Hey, I'm filming here, why are you leaving so quickly? The scenery in mainland China is so beautiful, I want to stay here for a while. Besides, I'm here with Patrick Tam and Ben Wong, and we're going shopping together later."

The person speaking next to her is Zhao Linger's grandmother. She doesn't even have a name in the play, but outside the play, her name should be well-known in mainland China.

Her name is Cheng Pei-pei.

The previous generation of female actors in Hong Kong are old and have retired to guest-star in idol fantasy dramas.

Cheng Pei-pei, Patrick Tam, Ben Wong, and Yang Kun are all well-known actors in Hong Kong and mainland China. These veteran actors have now come here to play supporting roles.

"My drama is about to be finished, so it's up to you." At this time, Patrick Tam, also known as Shushan Jiang Ming, smiled. His part was also about to be finished. His role in the drama was the eldest brother of the Shushan sect. His role in the plot was still to sell the CP, and he was the one who indirectly shaped the role of the Shushan 'Sword Master'.

Become possessed by love and become possessed by demons.

If the world won't tolerate you, then I, Jiang Ming, will! Only I, Jiang Ming, will tolerate you. This is the play of this Shushan senior brother.

Huang Zhixian plays the role of the Witch King, and his opposite is the beautiful Sun Li, a woman who can portray maturity and charm to the fullest and is naturally charming.

Of course, it is precisely this kind of charm that allows her to form a perfect pairing with the Drunken Swordsman, the Sword Master, and the Witch King.

In fact, these people all admire the script. They admire the creative team for being able to produce such a script. The CP lines of various characters and the mutual entanglements between them are exciting just by listening to them.

Huang Zhixian said at this time.

"Tangren has huge ambitions. This time, they're clearly targeting idol drama groups."

"The chairman is quite accomplished at a young age." At this point, Cheng Peipei sighed, "I feel like I've been pushed forward by the waves behind me for most of my life."

"Hahaha, Kung Fu Queen, you still have the nerve to say that the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves out. You don't know how many back waves you have beaten to death on the beach. There is only one Kung Fu Queen in Hong Kong, you."

There is a foreign counterpart named Michelle Yeoh, but she is much younger and not of the same generation.

Cheng Peipei has truly experienced the ups and downs of Hong Kong. She witnessed the rise of Hong Kong from the first generation, and watched it being brought to its current state by the financial crisis.
However, Cheng Peipei thinks it's okay. For an actor who has achieved this level, it's not bad to retire after achieving success. Those who want to move to the next level, like Stephen Chow, are unwilling to give up but can't even attract a local investor for "Kung Fu". They all hope that he can return to his original position. Not to say that he is an enemy of the world, but at least he is unwelcome.

Cheng Peipei feels that, in one’s life.

It is not a particularly embarrassing thing to understand your position clearly and stay there peacefully.

Not everyone can climb to the top step by step.
"I won't say any more. We're going to start filming your scenes soon. Are you confident about the first scene?" At this time, Cheng Peipei looked at Huang Zhixian next to her.

Huang Zhixian gave a thumbs up, no problem, the people he had the most scenes with were the Moon Worshiper and Sun Li.

He 'loves' the descendants of Nuwa, and his personality is a bit like that of the King of Zhennan in Dali, a man who loves beauties to the extreme - although the Witch Queen does not like the Witch King, and her marriage to him is a political marriage, he even developed feelings for the Drunken Sword Immortal and the Sword Saint while traveling.

But, it doesn't matter.

If you can't even accept being cheated on, how dare you say you love her?

Of course I choose to forgive her! Such love is too pure.

The love of the Witch King is a love of high purity.
As for being bewitched later, well, that was all Baiyue’s fault.

There is no dispute about this point. The root of all evil is moon worship.
At this time, not far away, some people had quietly come to visit the set. Liu Lili, Cai Yilon, and Yao Zhuangpian, the three main upstream investment figures of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", came here.

All to see how their 'children' perform.

"Your daughter is truly amazing. Her acting skills are clearly still immature, but just by standing there, she can convince people that she is a fairy from heaven." Cai Yilong looked at Liu Lili and Liu Yifei with envy and said, "Genes like these are a gift from heaven."

Liu Lili cannot deny this. She has never denied the advantages and gaps brought by beauty.

It can be said that Hongxingwu only acts as a "protective umbrella" to protect Liu Yifei from the dirty harm in this circle. Most of the roles she was able to get were due to Liu Yifei's own efforts.

With this appearance and this temperament, she is born to make a living in this circle. Of course, if this appearance and talent fall into an ordinary family, it is not a gift from heaven, but a double-edged sword. It is possible that this double-edged sword will hit her own back.

"Everyone on my mother's side is good-looking."

Liu Lili smiled slightly and said, "This must be our family's talent."

"Yes, indeed. She is the Zhao Linger in my mind. Oh my god, she is simply a fairy descending to earth."

Yao Zhuangpian, the head of the original studio of "Chinese Paladin" and the general manager of Dahua, developed the "Monopoly" and "Chinese Paladin" series at a young age and made a lot of money. However, games are still at the bottom of the contempt chain. All parents will regard them as a disaster. Even after the development, Cai Yilong said that he would not say that it was adapted from a game, and Yao Zhuangpian accepted this.
the current era.

Only a young president like Tangren Film and Television would be willing to try to develop game IP.

She was the first person.

However, Yao Zhuangpian is the father of this IP after all. In terms of status, he and Cai Yilon have the same level of relationship.

"Our Hu Qu is pretty good, isn't he?" Cai Yilon said with a smile. When Yao Zhuang Pian was about to appoint Hu Qu as Li Xiaoyao, he immediately gave the nod.

The protagonist has a strong sense of youth, just like Li Xiaoyao in Yaozhuang Pian's heart.
Yao Zhuang nodded and looked at Li Xiaoyao, who was acting and speaking on the stage. He could only admire this outstanding youth.
It feels like walking out of a game, and it’s really the right feeling.

"The casting of the main characters is perfect. If I have to say there's a flaw, it's probably your Moon Worshiper. Sigh, I thought Xu Mianjiang was really good. What a pity, what a pity."

Yao Zhuangpian prefers Xu Mianjiang. After all, Xu Mianjiang is a veteran actor, and his interpretation and expression of villain roles are well-known.

It can only be said that there is still a little difference in the concept of filming from Tangren. The concept of Tangren Film and Television, or Cai Yulong's concept, is to shoot it as an idol drama, which is a pure-blooded idol work, while Yao Zhuangpian still has some martial arts feelings in it. In the production of "Chinese Paladin", the "great love" of the people of the world is the main driving force of expression.

Of course, professionals should do professional things. Since Cai Yulong is extremely professional in the field of TV dramas, it is understandable to listen to her on this matter.

There are always regrets. Who calls this IP? Game adaptation is at the bottom of the contempt chain.
Alas, games are still not popular in this era.

Occasionally, Yao Zhuangpian would fantasize that if the value of games became so great that they could go abroad, then he should have a greater say.

"Well, it's unfortunate that you just happened to catch this scene." Cai Yulong said helplessly at this time: "The next scene is the scene with the Moon Worshiper."

It is a bit regrettable to say that the role of the Moon Worshiper is the product of the struggle between Cai Yulong and Liu Lili - this young actor is very capable, but after all, he is still not as good as Xu Mianjiang.
If he is not satisfied with it, then there is nothing we can do.
"it does not matter."

Yao Zhuang Pian also had a psychological expectation at this time - the protagonists were so good, it didn't matter if other places were a little worse.

Only Liu Lili still had a vague sense of anticipation in her heart.

How he played a big 'evil' villain.

At this time, Li Xuan came to find Li Liguo and said.

"I want to go and chat with the extras."

"Well, go ahead." Li Liguo didn't care. Extras... whatever, whatever. They'll just be responsible for shouting 'Kill the Demon Queen! Kill the Demon Queen!' and playing the role of the bewitched people. There's no need for any expressiveness.

On the contrary, Li Liguo had a higher opinion of the acting between Sun Li and Huang Zhixian.

Something that allows you to see [acting skills].

Especially the look Sun Li gave Huang Zhixian.

The look that the Witch Queen gave the Witch King was more like pity and doting. In her opinion, the feelings between her and the Drunken Sword Immortal, the Sword Saint and herself were what could be called the love between men and women, while the feelings between them and the Witch King were more like the feelings of a sister for her brother, a mother for her son, and a god for the common people.

In addition to feeling that the old actors in this crew are fighting with their acting skills, I also feel a little pity for the role of Huang Zhixian
The character of the Witch King is indeed a bit confusing.
