Low Key Star

  Chapter 274 [274] First experience of filming

  The filming crew in Wuxi mainly filmed the first episode, that is, the process of Li Mochou, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Yang Guo, Lu Wushuang and others appearing one after another. Zhang Yang and Lin still don't need to participate in this part.

  Jiuzhaigou is one of the scenic spots with the most scenes in the whole drama. Most of the off-site scenes, such as outside Zhongnan Mountain and inside the Valley of Unrequited Love, need to be filmed here.

  Because the ancient tomb is still under construction, Zhang Yang and Lin are still in the original scene. It is not the first time they meet, but the outdoor scenes of practicing martial arts, quarreling, and getting along. The two have studied more during this period, and this part of the script is also.

  It is the first time filming, so it is inevitable that there will be various emotions such as apprehension, fear, curiosity, anticipation, etc., intertwined together, and the feeling is quite complicated. Fortunately, we are with each other, and we are not too worried.

There are not many group performances in this part of the filming, but there are many logistics staff. The crew directly rented a hotel, and the main personnel have their own rooms. Lin Yiran and Zhang Yang each have a nanny car for rest at any time. not bad.

On the personnel side, Zhang Yang is still Yan Xixi and Zhang Hongkang. On Lin Yiran's side, due to the lack of staff in Yiyang Film and Television, Jiang Qing, who was sent by Su Hui to Lin Yiran's personal assistant before, is now the department head, so naturally there is no way to come over. Assistant, and although Kan Wenxi was with the group, she served as the director of production as the representative of Yiyang Film and Television, so she sent another girl who was an intern to act as an assistant. An assistant, and Yuan Tong, came to take care of her together.

   This gave Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran a lot of confidence who were prepared to endure hardships.

When the two arrived, the production crew had just arrived and hadn't had a big meeting yet, and they were all carrying luggage. The arrival of Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran caused a certain commotion. look up. Both of them have become accustomed to this, and they don't care about it. Anyway, they will spend a long time together in the future, and they will no longer have such curiosity in a few days.

Although the previous targeted training was a bit tiring, it was far from exhausting. Coupled with the excitement of joining the crew for the first time, both of them were in good spirits. They went back to the room to put down their things, and then went to Li Changge with the script. Have a meeting in the room and listen to tomorrow's play.

There are not many scenes for Zhang Yang tomorrow, only two scenes. The first scene is a man catching rabbits in the forest, and then finds that the flowers are lush, which is just suitable for him to practice "Jade Heart Sutra" with Xiaolong; After leaving, he met Hong Lingbo and tricked her to go to the ancient tomb together.

Considering that Yang Guo was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he appeared on stage, Li Changge, after discussing with Zhang Yang and others, finally decided to play Yang Guo in front of the ancient tomb with a young actor. The young actor selected was named Li Shaoyu, who was not very famous. However, it was Li Changge who selected from nearly ten candidate child actors, many of whom were popular and popular child actors, whose popularity was comparable to that of first-line actors, but he was still rejected by him.

   Zhang Yang still appreciates and admires this point.

Compared with the whole play, Xiao Yang Guo's role is not light or heavy. Zhang Yang remembers that the selection of the 06 version of the previous life was completely based on popularity. As far as the results are concerned, his personal sense It's not good, it's just a bluffing brat, not at all the clever, chivalrous, cynical, stubborn and extreme young Yang Guo in the original novel.

To put it bluntly, in the original novel, Xiao Yang Guo is an orphan who lost his parents early and experienced the warmth and coldness of the world. At this time, his personality as an adult has begun to emerge, while that version of Xiao Yang Guo seems to be only trying to play the role of the eccentric. Even when showing unyielding and strong side, it feels more like a child playing with his temper, not even in form, let alone in spirit.

Li Changge's requirements for Xiao Yang Guo are quite strict. It is said that when filming the scene of Lujiazhuang in Wuxi, the scene where he appeared was reshot more than 20 times, in order to show Yang Guo to the audience when he appeared. Make a solid first impression!

  This requirement is very difficult and challenging even for adult actors, let alone for a 13-year-old child? However, Li Changge was able to pick Li Shaoyu out of so many candidates. This little boy naturally has his own advantages. According to Li Changge's evaluation during the WeChat chat, if Li Shaoyu does not go wrong, he has the potential to become a top movie star in the future.

   Zhang Yang knew the elegant meaning after hearing Xiange, and immediately understood what Li Changge meant. When he was about to get along, he would inquire a little bit to see if he could sign this potential stock.

Among the few young actors, in terms of acting skills and talent, Li Shaoyu is already very outstanding, but he is still three points behind Zhang Zining. The performance of the little girl during the audition is impressive, and it is even more amazing when she is actually filming. It's a pity that Xiao Chengying has too few roles and has already wrapped up.

   "Still, your first scene tomorrow is the part where Qinyin retreats from the enemy. It's not difficult, just make it look good. And you can play the guqin, at least there's nothing wrong with your fingering... Don't be nervous, it's easy."

Lin Yiran's first scene is also the first time that Little Dragon Girl appears in the whole play, but in order to keep the mystery, there will be no frontal face, only clapping the piano, hands, and silhouettes to set off, no need Whatever acting skills, just look good.

   And it just so happens that for her, looking good is the least difficult thing.

  She is not proficient in guqin, but because Su Hui and the elderly in the family like it, she has learned it for a while, and her **** may be unfamiliar, but for filming, she only needs to practice for a while, and it is not difficult.

In addition to this scene, she also has a scene where she takes Xiao Yang Guo out of the ancient tomb to find the Chongyang Palace on the way back, and teaches him how to fight with others. .

They don't have many scenes, because the main content is basically the conflict between Xiao Yang Guo and Quanzhen Sect, and the difficulty is not too big. Everyone listens carefully to the lectures of other people, in case other stones can be used to attack jade.

  After all this work, Li Changge still had to discuss the details of the filming with several executive directors, including props and time. It seemed to be quite busy, and Zhang Yang didn't get in the way. He took Lin Yiran back to her room to discuss and figure out the script.

   As a result, I went back to the room, just sat down, and before we had time to discuss, the phone rang. He has a wide range of career lines now, and he didn't dare to hang up rashly when he saw an unfamiliar number. He waited for a while with his mobile phone, and saw that the other party was very sincere and didn't seem like a harassing call, so he answered.

   "Hello, is Zhang Yang?" It was a calm female voice, and it sounded like she was in her thirties.

   "It's me, you?"

   "My name is Wu Tianying. We met once in China TV Building. I don't know if you still have any impression."

Zhang Yang tried hard to recall, and soon remembered that when he went to Huashi Building to discuss casting with Li Changge and the others at the beginning of this year, he once met a middle-aged woman with an aura in the elevator. At that time, the other party also said that he hoped to have a chance in the future Cooperation.

   "Hello, I remember."

   Zhang Yang smiled and expressed that he still remembered the other party. Wu Tianying smiled and said: "I am currently a member of the preparatory team for the Spring Festival Gala of the Jiaxu Year. I would like to invite you to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. Is your schedule convenient?"

Zhang Yang was a little confused, and Lin Yiran, who was also leaning next to his phone and heard the conversation, also widened his eyes in surprise. At this time, the China TV Spring Festival Gala was far from being able to show up to all traffic stars, and more than a dozen stars sang a song together. To a certain extent, for stars in the entertainment industry, it is still a great honor to appear on such a stage, because those who can appear are all top celebrities who have been tested by time in the industry guy.

   If Zhang Yang can take the stage, he will undoubtedly be the youngest among the entertainment stars to attend the Spring Festival Gala, bar none.

   "Uh..." Zhang Yang hesitated for a while, because he didn't spend much time with his parents this year, and if he wasn't at home during the Spring Festival Gala, it seemed a bit unreasonable.

Wu Tianying said with a smile: "But I have to explain one thing to you first. The current invitation is only to participate in the rehearsal. It does not mean that you will finally be able to appear on the stage. It still needs to be reviewed... Also, will you have a new album this year? Do you have any new Chinese style songs? ?”

   Zhang Yang immediately understood why he was invited. Apart from popularity, Chinese style should also be a very important reason.

  Thinking about it, Zhang Yang quickly made a decision, "Yes, the recording has been basically finished... Uh, I mean the new Chinese-style song."

   "If it's convenient, can you send me to listen? Don't worry, only the relevant person in charge can listen, no more than four people, and it will never be leaked."

   "That's okay, but... I'm filming, and I may not have much time."

   "I know. I have already asked Director Gao and Director Li beforehand. They said that there will definitely be rehearsal time, and you need a lot of preparation time for filming. It is impossible for you to stay on the set for the next six months."

   "Then I have no problem, I'll ask someone to send you the song."

   "Okay, I'll let you know when the rehearsal time comes out."

   Hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang still felt a little unreal, looked at Lin Yiran, Lin Yiran looked at him, and then reached out to pat his face, "Then you won't go home for the Chinese New Year?"

   "Hey, it's just singing a song, it doesn't mean I'm going to stay there all day."

  Lin Yiran wrinkled his nose and snorted softly. Zhang Yang suddenly reached out to hug her and lay down on the bed. Lin Yiran said "ah", "What are you doing?"

  The mattress was quite elastic, and Zhang Yang felt it bumped a few times, so he kissed her **** the cheek, "Happy."

  Lin still wiped off his saliva, kicked him aside, and sat up again, "I want to read the script, don't bother me."

Zhang Yang curled his lips, called Nan Xue, told her about it, and asked her to make some preparations. Seagull has artist experience on stage at the Spring Festival Gala, so he didn't intend to hype it up. He mainly wanted to gain some experience. Especially the approximate time schedule, so as to avoid any mistakes or omissions.

  Hang up the phone, add Wu Tianying's WeChat, and forward the email she sent to Nan Xue. The next thing he has to do is to wait for the notification.

  Of course, filming is also very important.

  In Lin Yiran's room, they discussed how to film for a while. After a while, Li Changge called and invited them to dinner together. Since it was the first meal here, I didn't eat any more boxed lunches, and the group performers also went out to the restaurant together, so I could have some sweets before going through hardships.

Zhang Yang and the others were sitting alone at the same table. Apart from Li Changge, the assistant director, two executive directors, and main actors such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Li Mochou, and Gongsun Lue were present at the same table. At the wine table, Li Changge specially toasted Zhang Yang. Said something.

"Our goal is to make this show well, so let's say something up front. You are the original author and an investor, but when filming, you only have the role of an actor. If there is something wrong Live, as a brother, I will help you here first, but when you are filming, you should say what you should say, and you should scold me, I will not ruin everyone's efforts by taking care of you."

These words are not necessarily intended for Zhang Yang, because apart from him and Lin Yiran, the acting skills of others have been more or less proven in other works. Although Shangguan Qiyu is also a newcomer, she Zhang Yang's role and importance are far inferior to the two of Zhang Yang, and the others may not have some thoughts in their hearts.

Li Changge's words are not so much a warning to Zhang Yang, but a reassurance for everyone... It is a warning, and it means more to Shangguan Qiyu, because he is not familiar with Shangguan Qiyu, so it is not easy to say these things, so he can only use Zhang Yang Come and kill the chicken.

He had already communicated with Zhang Yang about this in advance, and played down the possible negative effects of these words, but it does not mean that there is no warning to Zhang Yang... Zhang Yang can understand and naturally support it. Complaints—if there are complaints, I hold back and wait for the filming to finish.

The next morning, Zhang Yang was woken up on time at 6:30, and began to watch Xiao Yang Guo, Guo Jing, Qiu Chuji, Huo Dou and others put on makeup. His scenes with Lin Yiran were filmed in the afternoon, so waking up so early was to get used to it. The second is because of curiosity.

  He guessed that this curiosity and freshness would soon be worn away, but he didn't expect that his curiosity and freshness would be worn away by just the first scene in the afternoon.

   Finally understand why putting on makeup is so troublesome, Li Changge only arranged two scenes for him and Lin Yiran.

   It’s not even afternoon yet, Ji Bu is ashamed of his promise, and it’s not as good as saying it will be the end...it’s me!
