Huayu Entertainment Starts with Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu
57. My Charming Great-Grandma [Please continue reading]
The production team of "Sito" organized a launch ceremony.
Despite being known as the "Queen of Bad Movies," Jing Tian has still managed to make a certain presence in the industry. Everyone knows she's a resource-driven actress who can't be made famous.
Jiang Yang also gained some fame after the broadcast of "Legend of Chu and Han".
Besides, don't they still have the power to make money?
At the invitation of the travel expenses, the reporters were eager to hear what these two had been up to.
"What does the title 'Sito' mean?"
"The most popular genres in the past two years have been historical romance dramas, but according to the filing information, your drama is actually a fantasy drama with a modern setting and a Republican era background. What was the reason for this?"
"Are you two playing a couple in the drama?"
"Sito" is indeed very mysterious.
Because it is a rare original script, and unlike semi-fictional historical dramas, it does not have a historical background.
Just like "Legend of Lu Zhen," although it is a fictional story, it still makes no secret of its basis in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
This way, the audience at least has some expectation.
As for "Sito", both its name and genre are baffling.
Jiang Yang raised the microphone.
"Si Teng is the name of the female lead in this drama, the character played by Ms. Jing Tian."
"Because there has been a surge of ancient costume dramas in the industry in the past two years, we do not want to simply repeat or imitate them. We hope to create something new in terms of subject matter and bring a fresher experience to the audience."
"As for our relationship, I'll keep you in suspense for now."
"All I can say is that it's very unique."
"If I had to describe her in one sentence, I would call her my charming great-grandmother."
What is that?
Great-Grandma!
It's truly unique; I've never heard of any drama where the male and female leads have this kind of relationship.
Not to mention them, Jing Tian was also shocked.
What great-grandmother?
Oh, right.
She belatedly realized that there was indeed such a scene in the story.
Qin Fang once suspected that he was a descendant of Bai Ying, and Bai Ying and Si Teng were originally one, so according to seniority, Si Teng would be equivalent to his great-grandmother.
He exploded.
Whose male lead confesses his love with "I can accept that you're not human, but I can't accept that we're related by blood"?
Is this show serious?
Ahem, we have to be serious, otherwise it won't pass the review.
To clarify: This is a misunderstanding. Qin Fang has no blood relation with Si Teng or Bai Ying.
Jing Tian thought to herself that she hadn't felt anything when she was reading the script, but now that Jiang Yang was bringing it up and keeping her in suspense, it seemed like it was actually quite exciting.
Those with quick reflexes immediately conjure up even more ideas.
"So, the characters you're playing belong to two different timelines, right? Jing Tian is from the Republican era, while you're from the modern era?"
"What's the main plot of this fantasy drama? Revenge? Adventure? Mystery?"
Will the two characters have any direct interaction in the drama?
Jiang Yang stopped there, offering only a small bait before refusing to say anything more.
"To avoid spoilers, we won't go into more details about the plot here. We hope you will continue to follow our 'Sito'."
"This film is absolutely a work of sincerity."
"In addition, Ms. Jing Tian's image and performance in this drama will be a groundbreaking breakthrough compared to her previous roles, and I believe she will not disappoint everyone."
He made another boast, but without any evidence, it was obviously not to be taken seriously.
It's okay, you'll find out when the time comes.
After the ceremony, filming officially began, and Jing Tian came over to tease Jiang Yang.
"What were you thinking just now, Great-Grandma?"
"Haha, I was quite surprised!"
"But if I were your great-grandmother, wouldn't you be my eldest grandson?"
She found it inexplicably funny and couldn't stop laughing.
It's fine if Jing Tian laughs a couple of times right now, but if she can't stop laughing during filming, then it'll be an accident.
"Pfft... I'm sorry!"
After laughing for what felt like the umpteenth time, she took the initiative to apologize.
Jiang Yang felt helpless.
"What's so funny? Do I look ridiculous to you?"
Laughter is indeed unavoidable.
But constantly laughing during the performance makes one seem very unprofessional.
If an actor can't even control their laughter, what kind of acting skills can you expect from them?
Most importantly, this isn't a comedic scene.
In the TV series "Si Teng", Wang Yanlin played the second male lead, Yan Furui, a comedian. The male and female leads would sometimes banter to lighten the mood, but that's not what's being filmed now.
Jing Tian explained, embarrassed.
"Sito's tone of voice is so funny, so I..."
Sito's tone is indeed unique.
Because she originally lived during the Republican era, and was awakened by Qin Fang after being sealed away for decades, she is essentially a semi-time traveler.
Watching how she integrates into modern life is one of the show's regular sources of humor that creates a lighthearted atmosphere.
Sito's writing style is old-fashioned and literary, which suits her proud and reserved queen-like personality. The comedic effect is natural without being deliberately funny.
For example, when Qin Fang suspected the relationship between the two, Si Teng also exploded, contributing one of the most memorable scenes in the show.
"You have no attachment to this world anymore, have you?"
Low emotional intelligence version: Do you want to die?
Despite the objective conditions, Jing Tian had acted before, so she should have been able to control her emotions. However, she couldn't hold back her emotions as soon as she saw Jiang Yang's face.
Jiang Yang shook his head.
[You had an in-depth conversation with celebrity Bai Mengyan and have been awarded a chance to win a prize. Would you like to participate now?]
[You've been selected! Congratulations! You've obtained the skill - Comedy Talent]
[Comedic Talent: A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but a truly interesting soul is one in a million]
It's probably this thing causing the problem.
He knew the reason, but since it was Jing Tian who was laughing, he could only think of a solution based on her.
You clearly have a low threshold for laughter!
Jiang Yang put on a stern face.
"Are you done laughing? How many times have you done this?"
"Do you think it's appropriate for everyone to laugh with you?"
"How about we skip filming today and come back after you've finished laughing? The others can film first!"
This is an attempt to kick someone out; the words were quite harsh.
Seeing that he seemed angry, Jing Tian dared not laugh and joke anymore and quickly made a vow.
"I promise I won't laugh again!"
Jiang Yang: I'll trust you one more time, with a wave of his hand.
"Again!"
The atmosphere on set was serious and tense. Jing Tian was not a carefree person to begin with, and this put her on even tighter nerves. Sure enough, she didn't mess up and passed smoothly.
"call!"
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt lingering fear as he looked at Jiang Yang.
As for Li Muge and the other crew members, all we can do is express our deepest respect.
They all knew that Jing Tian was the big spender of "Si Teng," so even though the latter laughed a few times, he didn't dare to say anything. Even the director, Li Muge, could only laugh along.
Only Jiang Yang dared to reprimand her.
Tsk tsk, Li Muge was completely convinced and secretly gave a thumbs up.
Bro, you're awesome!
What does it mean to live off a woman's money and still insist on it? This is a model for us all.
Jing Tian was actually a little aggrieved, because she didn't mean to laugh.
It's just so funny...
He squatted in a small corner, pitifully reflecting for a while, before suddenly realizing what had happened.
Huh? You dare to yell at me?
