Perfect Life

Huairou Film and Television City, the filming site of "The Legend of the New White Lady".

Indoor, distant view.

A camera was aimed at the door.

The other two cameras have been aimed at the vacant seat behind the round table in the room and are currently in operation.

Xu Xian was wandering back and forth in the room, when he heard footsteps suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked to the door in one step.

Bai Suzhen entered.

Xu Xian went up to meet him, took Bai Suzhen's left arm, and said with a smile, "Miss, you're back!"

The two entered the room hand in hand and went to the table. Xu Xian helped Bai Suzhen to sit.

At this time, he seemed a little attentive, "Miss, you have worked hard!"

Bai Suzhen's voice was indeed a little tired, and she sat down and said, "It's okay."

Xu Xian picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water and handed it over, and said, "I'm tired!"

Bai Suzhen finally realized that something was wrong, and said, "No!" She looked at Xu Xian and said with a smile, "What happened to you today? You are so polite! Did you cause trouble again?"

Xu Xian pouted, a little embarrassed, but a little aggrieved, but he couldn't help laughing and dropped his book bag, "I do things carefully and act according to reason, how can I cause trouble!"

Bai Suzhen also smiled, showing the unspeakable intimacy and tacit understanding between the young couple, and said, "Then why are you so attentive to me?"

Xu Xiandao: "Of course it's because the lady has done great deeds for the locality and has been praised by the villagers! I'm happy for you!"

Bai Suzhen smiled: "Then, what did they say?"

Xu Xian was a little proud of Yourongyan, but also a little childish and naughty, shook his head and said: "They said, you look good!"

Bai Suzhen was stunned when she heard the words, then glanced at him, a little shy and a little helpless: "What are you talking about!"

Xu Xian stood up. He walked around behind Bai Suzhen and said at the same time: "They also said that the lady is not only beautiful, but also a virtuous and capable person. She has a good heart and can cure diseases and disasters for the villagers! It can also eliminate the root cause of disasters in the local area. It is a living Bodhisattva!"

Bai Suzhen smiled, shook her head, and waved her hand.

Xu Xian continued: "You still told me..."

Bai Suzhen asked, "What did you say?"

Xu Xiandao: "Say I'm lucky, maybe the lady owes me love in her lifetime, and she will marry me in this lifetime."

Bai Suzhen was slightly stunned. Then he smiled thoughtfully.

…………

This scene is very long. It is said that Bai Suzhen had a conversation with Xu Xian after forcing the Taoist priest Wang Daoling back from Maoshan and curing the local people. It should be said that this is the relationship between their young husband and wife. An increasingly harmonious story, and at the same time, of course, it is also a further shaping of Bai Niangzi's tender heart and extraordinary methods.

This shot has been gone through beforehand, and Li Qian feels that the effect is good.

Bai Yujing's experience and grasp of the role of Bai Suzhen. It is becoming more and more skilled and more nuanced, with many small expressions, small smiles, and small movements, all of which have amorous feelings. He also appears to be generous and decent and unpretentious everywhere, which has become more and more perfect in line with Li Qian's definition of the character Bai Suzhen.

And Zhu Qiang, after more than two days of filming interruption, after in-depth stroking, he also began to gradually find the position of the character Xu Xian - the male version of Xu Xian, and the reverse version of Xu Xian, of course, there must be differences.

If there is a cross-play, because it is the actress who is playing the role, of course. The cowardly side of the character comes out more easily, in many episodes. The positioning of this role is relatively clear, because the actresses cross the line. It doesn't make the audience hate the character just because he's cowardly. But if it is played by an actor, it can't be so cowardly.

Therefore, Li Qian has fully considered Xu Xian's repositioning problem since the beginning of writing the script. After confirming that Zhu Qiang will play this character, he patiently talked to him about this character many times.

To put it simply, the male version of Xu Xian's bookishness, as well as the kind of simple and honest atmosphere naturally brought out, must overcome the feeling of cowardice - for example, the female version of Xu Xian can be Xiaoshou, but the male version of Xu Xian But just a little more naive.

Zhu Qiang was born more handsome. To a certain extent, some boys and girls feel like women, but men and women are different after all. In particular, Zhu Qiang's "eye drama" is quite good, and Li Qian is not willing to waste it. And actors with beautiful and smart eyes are usually not easy to perform that kind of simple and honest feeling.

Therefore, the way Li Qian found for him was: the pure feeling of performing!

The so-called pure feeling is that in front of familiar people and familiar things, you can be excited and appear quite active, but in the face of slightly complicated and unfamiliar things, you will be a little ignorant, slow in response, and even do not know what to do at all. Do——If you replace the understanding, it is roughly equivalent to the technical otaku of the 21st century!

Such characters are a bit bookish, smart, and keen, but they are actually somewhat introverted. Once they are separated from the people they are familiar with and the world they are familiar with, they will feel a little timid and stupid.

In the beginning, Zhu Qiang couldn't grasp this feeling. He seemed a little stupid in the opposite scene with Bai Suzhen, and the scene with the extras seemed a little too jumpy. Therefore, Li Qian drove him back to the hotel and asked him to start again. Figure out the characters.

But this time, in the previous rehearsal, Zhu Qiang did quite well, even quite brilliantly, so after Li Qian watched their first rehearsal, he made a decisive decision at that time, and the second time was filmed on the real machine. .

Now it seems that the effect is quite good!

In the monitor, a young couple are talking to each other, and they are very affectionate. Behind the monitor, Li Qian is sitting on the director's chair, holding his chin in one hand. Satisfied look.

Behind Li Qian, Sun Yuting looked at her with ecstatic expression. Seeing the meaning, if it weren't for the filming, she could not help but applaud.

As soon as she arrived on the set yesterday, she, the so-called "drama manager" who is very free, kept poking behind Li Qian to observe how he was filming. At that time, she had already seen Bai Yujing's acting skills - or That said, in fact, the elements of the performance are not particularly sufficient. The key is that she stands there, elegant and imposing, dressed in ancient clothes. With a smile on his face, he naturally has a gentle and virtuous look. Coupled with her indescribable elusive celestial spirit, the white lady she played, Bai Suzhen, seemed to be really in front of her!

So, after filming was over in the evening, when Li Qian deliberately made a few cans of beer and a few side dishes, and took some of their classmates from Shuntian Film Academy for a small gathering, Sun Yuting said bluntly to Zhu Qiang: "You The pressure must be great, because Bai Niangzi's acting is really great! Play against her. You must show 200% of your strength!"

As a result, today's Zhu Qiang really showed 200% of his strength!

In yesterday's filming, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing acted opposite each other. The actor named Zhong Ling who played Xiaoqing brought Xiaoqing to life. Bai Yujing also portrayed the strong and wise side of Bai Niangzi in a penetrating manner. Today, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian's play. Bai Yujing showed Bai Niangzi's gentle and virtuous side to the fullest, but Zhu Qiang insisted on taking it, and expressed Xu Xian's smart and bookish feeling in front of Bai Niangzi. The interpretation is delicious!

After watching the scenes of these three actors, although it is not enough to make Sun Yuting make a scene, but in terms of the TV series she has watched, this level of performance is definitely already a first-class level!

In particular, Zhu Qiang was actually able to act with Bai Yujing without any weakness!

…………

In front of the camera, the young couple laughed and admired the painting.

This painting is exactly the small portrait Xu Xian painted for her when she was thinking of Bai Suzhen.

Xu Xian shook his head vigorously. Bai Suzhen was both happy and ashamed, with a smile on her face.

Because of this episode. Li Qian is going to insert a song, so. Feeling that the length is almost enough, I shouted decisively: "Crack! It's over!"

There was an instant commotion in the extremely quiet studio.

The camera stopped, and the first action of all the staff was to raise their hands to wipe the sweat.

The two drama managers, Xue Changlong and Song Yupin, had been waiting outside the door for a long time. As soon as they heard the shouting "Crack!", they immediately ran in with two electric fans, dragging long wires, and put them separately for men and women. In front of the protagonist, the electric fan was turned on, and Bai Yujing and Zhu Qiang were both gasping for breath, blowing violently at the electric fan.

To be honest, the weather in Shuntian Prefecture at the end of August, morning and night, is already a bit cold, but during the day, especially at noon, the temperature is still high, not to mention that everyone else is short-sleeved shorts, only Actors must be in ancient costumes, wrapping their whole body tightly?

For such a long shot, the two of them can hold it down smoothly without sweating on their foreheads, which is pretty good.

After shouting "ka", Li Qian also got up and walked over. Sun Yuting, like a little follower, was of course following behind him.

Zhu Qiang and Bai Yujing raised their heads slightly while blowing the fan, and asked the makeup artist to touch up their makeup. praise.

After encouraging the two actors, Li Qian clapped his hands, and when the scene quieted down a little, he said: "Everyone, pay attention, let's try to pass the next scene, after waiting, the crew rests for 20 minutes, let's eat watermelon!"

Many staff at the scene heard the words and immediately agreed.

Filming in such weather, taking a break every two or three hours to eat a watermelon is really a great enjoyment-although for the crew, it is just sending someone to drive to the nearby Huairou District, the watermelon is more It's not worth a lot of money, but with just a dozen or twenty watermelons every day, the crew has been in a good atmosphere from the start of filming until now.

This deal is a good deal.

Leaving the time for the two actors to brew their emotions, Li Qian walked back to the monitor, opened the water glass, took two sips of cool white, and couldn't help but recall the scene just now, three monitors, watching from one angle to another. , thinking about the editing direction at that time in his mind, turned his head and saw Sun Yuting, he smiled, "You are the drama manager, eldest sister, what are you doing with me? Lao Han didn't give you work?"

Sun Yuting said with a natural tone, "Send it! But I have divided the work among Song Yupin, Xue Changlong, and Lu Bin!" Then she bent down and bumped against Li Qian's shoulder, "I said, Old Li, I'll be the assistant director for you? Isn't Sister Juanzi in charge of finances? Besides, she's an executive producer, so she can't help you at all. And she doesn't know anything about film and television, but You know. I understand! Okay? Let me be your assistant!"

Li Qian thought for a while after hearing the words, grabbed his chin, nodded after a moment, and said seriously, "Alright!"

Sun Yuting was about to cheer when she heard the words, but Li Qian handed over his cup immediately, "Assistant Sun, get me a glass of water! I want it to be cold, I don't want pure water, mineral water or anything sold outside. !"

Sun Yuting was stunned for a moment. But soon the cup came to him obediently, with a dog-legged look, "Follow the order! Good luck!"

…………

Most of the indoor scenes of "The Legend of the New White Snake" were filmed in Huairou Film and Television City. It is expected that the entire crew will stay here for more than two months.

From the end of August to around the beginning of November.

After the filming in Huairou Film and Television City, the crew will move to Zhejiang. First, they will go to the West Lake in Hangzhou to pick up some exterior scenes, and the other will go to a film and television city in Jinhuafu, Zhejiang. Go ahead and shoot some street scenes, and some street action scenes.

Then, most of the crew can leave. There are only a small number of relevant actors left. They have to follow the film crew to Chengdu Mansion and other places, and then go to shoot some exterior scenes. Even if the filming stage of the entire play is completely over.

In fact, before the official start of filming, Jin Han had already taken the camera crew to the Dasong Film and Television City in Kaifeng, where he took a lot of empty shots of related houses. When the time comes, the editing is in, just to give the full style of the Song Dynasty.

The crew officially started filming at the end of August. There was some stumbling at first, the actors and the characters. If it fails to fully meet the director's expectations, it is natural to continue to run in, while filming and finding feelings. When the time enters September, the entire crew gradually completes the run-in, and the rhythm of the shooting gradually begins to be found.

Moreover, with the addition of more and more supporting actors from all walks of life, the entire crew has grown a lot, and it has become a lot more cheerful.

Zhou Yuhai's bald head and ring, but white beard and white eyebrows, the figure of a master monk, and his cunning and wise feeling when his eyes are slightly narrowed, amazed all the young people who came from the Shuntian Film Academy.

And the quarrel between Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong, played by a pair of veteran actors from China Resources Sheng and Chen Xinfang, in and out of the show, as well as the teasing of each other in their spare time, also made the atmosphere of the entire crew not tight. stretched up.

All in all, with the in-depth filming, the activities of the entire crew seem to be more and more relaxed.

You know, this movie will take three and a half to four months to shoot. So many people have to work together all day for such a long period of time. If the atmosphere of the crew is not good, this job will be very difficult. well done.

And obviously, once again, Li Qian showed the old and hot side of his novice - Sun Yuting didn't feel it at first, but after filming day by day, her assistant director became more and more immersed in it, and when she woke up suddenly Only then did he realize that, without making a sound, Li Qian had completely mobilized this rather large crew.

The atmosphere of the crew is relaxed, the mood of the staff and actors is good, and the progress of the filming is naturally fast, and it is much faster than expected!

So, before you know it, time flies by.

…………

As early as August 29th, which is the last Tuesday in August, Wuxing Wusu's first album "Rebirth from Ashes" after the reorganization was officially released.

This album came a little bit suddenly.

Because until the album was released, there was almost no promotion on Huage Records.

But after thinking about it, people quickly understood what Huage's idea was to win the game - the original Wuxing Wusu was almost disbanded, and with Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan signing contracts with Minghu Culture, a new The girl group Rose Power, the top and bottom of the domestic music scene, whether musicians, music critics, or fans, actually regard the new Rose Power combination as a continuation of the original Wuxingwusu combination, after all, there are a total of five Personally, Rose Power accounts for three, and the producer behind them is Li Qian!

On the contrary, it is the newly formed Wuxingwusu group. Although they still occupy this title, Zhou Pingping also remains in it as the captain, but for many fans who pay more attention to the entertainment and music circles, they are no longer everyone in the past. I like the five elements I have.

The time has entered the end of August, and the new album of the Rose Power group will be released soon. Minghu Culture attaches great importance to this album, and all kinds of advance publicity are of course full of power. So the album "super-star" was not released before it was released. It has already aroused serious expectations from many fans.

In fact, this is equivalent to Minghu Culture's efforts to push Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan, the three former members of the Five Elements and Wusu Group, to the front desk and fire them up.

The three new albums of the three of them will be released soon. Thinking about it, many fans will subconsciously think of the five elements of the past! And fans have feelings, for businesses. Of course, it is a good time to sell your feelings!

As a result, "Rebirth from the Ashes" was actually listed before "super-star"!

And after six days of listing, the sales results for the first week came out, and the performance of this album turned out to be quite good - it was airborne to the top of the album sales chart of Dongguan Bookstore in the first week!

In the week of the end of August and the beginning of September, although the students have already started school one after another, as the classmates who have not seen each other for two months reunite to discuss summer fun with each other, it is inevitable that they will mention themselves. Books, movies, TV shows, and songs you've heard, places you've been to, etc. Therefore, for cultural products, this is a period of time when word of mouth accumulates and ferments, and it is different from the time-consuming process and the need to go to special places to watch movies or climb mountains. Records and albums are recommended by others. Students can buy a set and listen to them at home after school. Therefore, it is inevitable that the movie market will fall back from the summer peak, but the record market will set off another wave. The best-selling small*.

In this week's Dongguan Bookstore sales rankings, this situation is particularly clear.

For example, Zheng Guofeng's "Winter Rose" was in its eleventh week of listing. There was another big rebound in sales and a surprising return to the highs of over 130 million copies sold. And He Runqing's "The Price of Love", which was listed in the middle of the summer, was the eighth week after his own listing. Once again heroically won 23,581 sales in a single week, and the rebound is even greater than that of "Winter's Rose"!

And this week, of course, the most in the limelight is "Reborn from the Ashes."

The fifth album of the Wuxingwusu group, in the first week of listing, won 29,054 sales!

If there is no abnormal situation, according to normal market rules, they are likely to break 30,000 in a single week next week!

Although it is not quite comparable to the two albums "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "The Boy Opposite" at the peak of Wuxingwusu, it shows that although there are fans who will still buy their albums, there are still quite a few of them. Fans are obviously more interested in the rose power that has inherited the true "mantle" of the original Wuxingwusu, which has affected the album sales of the new Wuxingwusu, but after all, the weekly sales of nearly 30,000 copies in the first week are not enough In my opinion, this Five Elements is already a shameless performance!

However, when the Dongguan Bookstore sales chart came out on September 11, it turned out that the second week of the album "Rebirth from Ashes" was a disappointment——

After almost consuming fans' nostalgia in the first week of its release, the album's sales dropped sharply in the second week, from more than 29,000 copies in the previous week to only 17,051 copies!

A drop of more than 40%!

So, a very miraculous scene appeared.

Because on Tuesday, September 12th, that is, tomorrow, Rose Power's first album "super-star" will be officially released, and the market is extremely looking forward to this album, so in the ten days before that , the vast majority of record companies and singers have an attitude of avoiding it, and therefore, except for the "Rebirth from Ashes" by the Wuxingwusu group, there are no powerful singers and powerful albums appearing, so , With the sudden slump of "Rebirth from the Ashes", "The Price of Love", which has come to the ninth week of listing, although this week is also a slump compared to last week's rebound, it is still in a position of 17558 Sales, back to the top!

He Runqing, and her "The Price of Love" beautifully won the sixth weekly sales champion after the launch!

Although it was not a six-week winning streak, it was listed for nine weeks. During this period, it was hit by new albums many times, and even lost the single-week championship three times, but six weeks is six weeks! And it's six weeks during the summer!

And although Liao Liao's "Woman's Flower" has been overwhelmed by Zhou Cong's "Wizard's Tears" for six consecutive weeks, it was only for six weeks - in terms of momentum. He Runqing's "The Price of Love" is actually not much less than "Women's Flower"! In terms of toughness, it's even better!

From the launch of "Woman Flower" on May 15. There are only seventeen weeks in the long record-selling period that ends on September 10. Liao Liao ruled the first six weeks, and He Runqing ruled the last six weeks.

All other record companies, all singers big and small, and countless new records, in these seventeen weeks, they can only share five of them!

Reaching this level, it can be said that the two queens have joined forces to dominate the entire summer season of the record market!

And next. On Tuesday, September 12th, another new album by Minghu Culture's anticipated and dreaded super celestial group Rose Power will be released again!

If their new album, called "super-star" in the promotion, can be as strong as it was in the original Wuxingwusu period, then it is foreseeable that in the next five to eight weeks, another It will belong to Minghu Culture!

However, at this time, on the eve of the upcoming release of "super-star". When Wuxingwusu was promoting the album on the last variety show, Zhou Pingping, the captain of Wuxingwusu, suddenly threw out a shocking conclusion when asked by the host how to evaluate the combination of Rose Power!

The atmosphere was good. After all, singers are on the show to promote their albums, so they don't need money, it's free, and for the show side, top groups like Wuxingwusu are also the most recent topical figures, which themselves can boost the ratings, so, during the recording of the program. Everyone followed the pre-established conversation plan, and the conversation went smoothly.

but. When the host asked about the connection with several sisters in Wuxingwu in the past, and the combination of rose power that is now widely believed to be Minghu culture by the outside world. When it was the real Wuxingwusu, when the members of the new Wuxingwusu thought about it, as the captain, Zhou Pingping replied at that time: "The Wuxingwusu is the Wuxingwusu, the rose power is the rose power, we are not one. Combination, it's not even the same thing at all!"

And then, as the conversation progressed, she said—

"We have a good personal relationship, but I don't personally evaluate their singing skills or anything."

"Li Qian, um, Qian Shao was indeed a very talented person, that's true, but now... I heard that he went to film a TV series? I think his choice itself just shows that he is smart people!"

"No, I didn't say that his talents are exhausted, I mean, he knows how to do the right things at the right time. For example, now, he is already the highest in the music world, everyone recognizes his talent, and he has never I haven't produced any unsatisfactory works, so I switched careers to film TV dramas at this time, um, I think it's pretty good!"

"Oh, we've been too busy before, so I didn't pay attention to them. It turns out that their new album is called "super-star", the name is so foreign! Haha, I don't mean anything else, no, I just said The name they gave is very foreign! In fact, I have always disliked the feeling of adding English between Chinese characters, Chinese characters, and English names for Chinese songs... Maybe they want to go international and sing English songs Well... In short, I personally don't like it very much!"

"Sales...No! How can we fight, we are not the same thing at all! We are five elements...Thank you, thank the fans for their love, the past results have always been good, and Rose Power is a new combination."

"Predicting their results... It's really not easy to predict! I heard that Young Master Qian is going to film a TV series, so even Young Master Qian chose to retire bravely, so you can imagine..."

"Is it all Jiang Lang's talent... It's hard to talk nonsense like this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I haven't said that, but, just listen to their new album and you'll know! It's said that it's Qian Made with less hands! However, I firmly believe that our Wuxingwusu must be the best female singing group in China. Of course, we welcome Rose Power to challenge!"

…………

On Tuesday, September 12, "super-star" was officially launched nationwide.

On September 13th, what Zhou Pingping said at the recording site of the program was spread out in pieces, which aroused the amazement of those in the industry!

On Friday night, September 15th, with the official broadcast of the uncensored version of this episode, the domestic pop music scene, and even the entire domestic entertainment circle, instantly caused an uproar!

***

After writing this chapter, it is actually past twelve o'clock, but the amount is still very sufficient!

By the way, I can't help it, and I have to complain again: Is it really necessary to set the word uproar as a prohibited word? (To be continued.)
