Chapter 130: The Great X

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

Indoor, vista.

A camera is pointed at the doorway.

The other two cameras, which have been pointed at the empty space behind the round table in the room, are also in operation.

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

Bai Suzhen entered.

Xu Xian greeted him, grabbed Bai Suzhen's left arm, and said with a smile: "Lady, you're back!"

The two of them 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 courteous, "Lady, you have worked hard!"

Bai Suzhen's voice did carry a slight sense of exhaustion, and she said as she sat down: "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 sensed that something was wrong, and said, "No!" while looking at Xu Xian, she said with a smile: "What's wrong with you today?

Xu Xian pursed his lips, a little embarrassed, but a little aggrieved, but he couldn't help but smile and drop his bookbag, "Contemptible people are cautious and cautious, and everything is done according to reason, how can they get into trouble!"

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

Xu Xian said: "Of course, it is because the lady has made great contributions to the local area and has been praised by the villagers! I am happy for you!"

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

Xu Xian was a little proud and proud, and a little childish naughty, shaking his head and saying, "They said." You're good-looking!"

Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then she glanced at him. A little shy and a little helpless: "What are these words!"

Xu Xian stood up and walked around behind Bai Suzhen, and said at the same time: "They also said that the lady is not only Peugeot, but also virtuous and capable, with a good heart, and can cure the villagers and eliminate disasters! It's just that. It's a living bodhisattva!"

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

Xu Xian continued: "Still say that I'm ......"

Bai Suzhen asked, "What are you talking about?"

Xu Xian said: "Say that I am blessed, maybe my wife owes me a love in her life, and in this life, she will marry me." ”

Bai Suzhen was slightly stunned, and then smiled thoughtfully.

…………

This scene is very long, and it is about Bai Suzhen returning home after forcing back the Maoshan Taoist priest Wang Daoling and curing the local people. A conversation with Xu Xian, it should be said. This is a story of the increasingly harmonious relationship between their young couples, and at the same time, of course, it is also a further shaping of the White Lady's gentle heart and extraordinary means.

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

Bai Yujing's experience and grasp of the role of Bai Suzhen is becoming more and more sophisticated and nuanced, many small expressions, small smiles, and small actions are not only amorous, but also look generous and decent everywhere, which has become more and more perfect in line with Li Qian's definition of Bai Suzhen's character.

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

If you are playing the reverse drama, because the actress is playing it, of course, the cowardly side of this character is easier to come out, and in many plots, the positioning of this role is relatively clear, because the actress is anti-string, and it will not cause the audience to hate this role because of cowardice. But if you change to an actor to play, you can't be so cowardly.

Therefore, Li Qian has fully considered Xu Xian's repositioning from the beginning of writing the script, and after determining that Zhu Qiang will play this role, he has patiently talked to him about this role many times.

To put it simply, the male version of Xu Xian, the bookish anger, and the kind of honest atmosphere that naturally brings out, must overpower the feeling of cowardice - for example, the female version of Xu Xian can be a little shou, but the male version of Xu Xian is only relatively more honest.

Zhu Qiang was born relatively handsome, to a certain extent, there are some boys and girls, but men and women, after all, are different, especially, Zhu Qiang's actor's "eye play" is quite good, Li Qian is reluctant to waste, and actors with beautiful and smart eyes are usually not easy to perform that kind of honest feeling.

Therefore, Li Qian found a way for him: to perform that simple feeling!

The so-called simple feeling is that in front of familiar people and familiar things, you can dance and appear quite active, but in the face of slightly more complex and unfamiliar things, you will be a little ignorant, slow to respond, and even don't know what to do at all - if you replace understanding, it is about equivalent to a technology otaku in the 21st century!

Such a character is a little bookish, very smart, and very sensitive, but in fact, he is somewhat introverted, and once he gets out of the familiar people and the familiar world, he will be a little timid and a little stupid.

At the beginning, Zhu Qiang couldn't grasp this feeling, the rivalry with Bai Suzhen seemed a little stupid, and the scene with the extras seemed a little too jumpy, so Li Qian drove him back to the hotel directly and asked him to figure out the characters again.

But this time, in the rehearsal in advance, Zhu Qiang did quite well, even quite brilliantly, so after watching their first rehearsal, Li Qian decided decisively at that time to shoot the second time.

Now it seems that the effect is really good!

Behind the monitor, Li Qian sat in the director's chair, holding his chin with one hand, and while watching, he couldn't stop nodding slightly, with a satisfied look on his face.

Behind Li Qian, Sun Yuting looked like her eyebrows were dancing, looking at the meaning, if it wasn't for the filming, she would have already applauded.

Just arrived on the set yesterday, and she, a very free so-called "drama manager", poked Li Qian behind her vigorously to observe how he filmed. At that time. She has already seen Bai Yujing's acting skills as an actor - or rather. In fact, the ingredients of the performance are not particularly sufficient, the key is that she is a person who stops there, elegant and contained, dressed in ancient costumes, smiling, naturally with a bit of gentleness and virtuousness, coupled with the indescribable ethereal fairy aura on her body, let her play the white lady Bai Suzhen. It's as if it's right in front of you!

Therefore, after the filming ended in the evening, when Li Qian deliberately made a few cans of beer and a few side dishes, and pulled a few of their classmates from Shuntian Film Academy to have a small gathering, Sun Yuting bluntly said to Zhu Qiang: "You must be under a lot of pressure, because the White Lady is really good!

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

In yesterday's shooting, Bai Suzhen played opposite Xiaoqing. The actor named Zhong Ling, who played Xiaoqing, played Xiaoqing vividly. Bai Yujing also portrayed the strong and wise side of the White Lady very well, and today, the scene between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, Bai Yujing showed the gentle and virtuous side of the White Lady to the fullest, but Zhu Qiang took it, and interpreted Xu Xian's smart and bookish feeling in front of the White Lady!

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

In particular, Zhu Qiang can really play with Bai Yujing all the way!

…………

In front of the camera, the young couple smiled and admired the paintings.

This painting is the small portrait that Xu Xian painted for her when she missed Bai Suzhen.

Xu Xian shook his head and praised violently, while Bai Suzhen was happy and ashamed, full of smiles.

Because of this plot, Li Qian was going to insert a song, so he felt that the length was almost enough, so he decisively shouted: "Click!

The extremely quiet set instantly had a commotion.

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

As soon as they heard the shouting "Click!" inside, they immediately hugged two electric fans, dragged long wires and ran in, put them in front of the heroes and heroines, and turned on the fans, and Bai Yujing and Zhu Qiang also looked like they were breathing a sigh of relief, blowing at the electric fans.

To tell the truth, the weather at the end of August here in Shuntianfu, one morning and one night, is already a little cool, but during the day, especially at noon, the temperature is still high, not to mention that everyone else is short-sleeved shorts, but the actor must be dressed in ancient costumes, wrapping his body tightly?

With such a long shot, the two of them can hold it down smoothly and have no sweat on their foreheads, which is already good.

After shouting "Click", Li Qian also got up and walked over, Sun Yuting was like a little heel, of course, she followed him step by step at this time.

Zhu Qiang and Bai Yujing raised their heads slightly while blowing the fan, asking the makeup artist to touch up their makeup slightly, and at the same time, they also had to talk to Li Qian - this time it was okay, what Li Qian said was all praise.

After encouraging the two actors, Li Qian clapped his hands, and when the scene was a little quieter, he said: "Everyone pay attention, let's try to go through this scene again, wait for it, the crew will rest for twenty minutes, let's eat watermelon!"

When many staff members at the scene heard this, they agreed at that time.

Filming in such weather, taking a break and eating a watermelon every two or three hours of filming is really a great pleasure - although for the crew, it is just to send someone to drive to the nearby Huairou District, and the watermelon is not worth a few dollars, but just a dozen or twenty watermelons a day have made the crew have been quite good from the start of filming to the present.

This deal is a good deal.

Leaving time for the two actors to brew their emotions, Li Qian walked back to the back of the monitor, opened the water cup, drank two sips of cold water, and couldn't help but turn back the shot just now, three monitors, looking at it from angle to angle, figuring out the direction of editing at that time in his heart, he turned his head and saw Sun Yuting, he smiled, "You are the drama manager, big sister, why do you keep following me? Lao Han didn't send you a job?"

Sun Yuting said in a natural tone, "It's sent! But I'll give the job to Song Yupin, Xue Changlong, and Lu Bin!" Then he bent down again and bumped Li Qian's shoulder. I said. Lao Li. I'll be your assistant director? Sister Juanzi isn't in charge of finance, besides, she's an executive producer, so she can't help you at all, and she doesn't understand film and television, but you know, I understand! Let me be your assistant!"

Li Qian thought about it when he heard this, and grabbed his chin. After a while, he nodded and said very seriously: "It's okay!"

Sun Yuting almost cheered when she heard this, but Li Qian immediately handed over his cup, "Assistant Sun, take me a glass of water!

Sun Yuting was stunned for a moment, but soon obediently came to the cup, looking like a dog's leg, "Obey the order!"

…………

Most of the chamber scenes of "The Legend of the New White Lady" were filmed in Huairou Film and Television City. It is estimated that the entire crew will take more than two months just to stay here for filming.

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

After the filming in Huairou Film and Television City, the crew will move to Zhejiang, one is to take some exterior scenes on the West Lake in Hangzhou, and the other is to go to a film and television city in Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang to continue filming some street scenes and some street action scenes.

Then, most of the crew can leave, and only a small number of relevant actors are left, who have to follow the film crew to Chengdu Mansion and other places, and then shoot some exterior scenes, and the filming stage of the whole drama will be completely over.

In fact, before the crew officially started filming, Jin Han had already taken the camera crew to the Great Song Film and Television City in Kaifeng Mansion, where he took a lot of empty shots of related houses, and when the time came, he edited them in, which just gave the style of the Song Dynasty to the fullest.

The crew officially started filming at the end of August, and there were some stumbles at first, and the actors and characters failed to fully meet the director's expectations, so it was natural to continue to run in, while filming, and find the feeling, and when the time entered September, the whole crew gradually completed the run-in, and the rhythm of filming gradually began to find.

Moreover, with the addition of more and more supporting actors, the entire crew has also grown a lot and is a lot more cheerful.

Zhou Yuhai's image of a high-ranking monk with a bald head but white beard and white eyebrows, and the cunning and wise feeling when his eyes narrowed slightly, amazed the newcomers who came from the Shuntian Film Academy.

And the quarrels between Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong, played by Hua Runsheng and Chen Xinfang, a pair of old drama bones, in and out of the play, as well as the ridicule between each other during filming and leisure, also made the atmosphere of the entire crew never tense up.

All in all, as the filming deepened, the activities of the entire crew became more and more relaxed.

You must know that it takes three and a half to four months to shoot this drama, and so many people have to stay together and work together all day for such a long time, if the atmosphere of the crew is not good, it is difficult to do this job well.

And obviously, once again, Li Qian showed the old and spicy side of him as a novice - Sun Yuting didn't feel it at first, but after the filming passed day by day, she, the director's assistant, became more and more immersed in it, and when she woke up suddenly, she found that Li Qian had completely mobilized this quite large crew.

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

So, unconsciously, time passed quickly.

…………

As early as August 29, that is, on the last Tuesday of August, Wuxing Wusu's first album "Rebirth from the Fire" after the reorganization has been officially released.

This album came a little suddenly.

Because until the album was released, there was almost no publicity on the Chinese record side.

But after thinking about it carefully, people quickly understood what the idea of Huage was at the bottom - the original Wuxing Wusu was almost disbanded, and with Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan signing a contract with Minghu Culture to form a new girl group Rose Power, the top and bottom of the domestic music scene, whether it is musicians, music critics, or the majority of fans, in fact, regard the new Rose Power Combination as a continuation of the original Five Elements Wusu Group, after all, there are five people in total, and Rose Power accounts for three, and the producer behind them is still Li Qian!

On the contrary, it is the newly formed Five Elements Wusu Group, although it still occupies this title, Zhou Pingping still stays in it as the captain. But there are many fans who pay more attention to the entertainment industry and the music industry. They are no longer the five elements that everyone used to like.

It's the end of August. The new album of the Rose Power Group is about to be released, and Minghu Culture attaches great importance to this album, and all kinds of advance promotions are of course full power, so the album "Super-Star" has aroused serious expectations from many fans before it is released.

In fact, this is equivalent to the development of Minghu culture. pushed Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan, the three members of the former Five Elements Wusu Group, to the foreground and stirred up.

The three of their new albums are about to be released, and when you think about it, many fans will subconsciously think of the five elements of the past!

As a result, "Rebirth from the Fire" was released before "Super-star"!

And six days after its release, the sales results of the first week came out, and the performance of this album turned out to be quite good - it landed at the top of the album sales chart of Dongguan Bookstore in the first week!

In the week of late August and early September. Although the students have already started school, they have reunited after two months of absence. Discussing summer fun with each other, it is inevitable to mention the books, movies, TV series, songs you have heard, places you have visited, etc., so for cultural products, this is a period of time when word-of-mouth accumulation and fermentation, and it is different from the need to consume a lot of time and need to go to characteristic places to go to the movies, go to the mountains, etc., records, The album is recommended by others, and students can buy a disc and listen to it at home after school, so it is inevitable that the film market will fall from the summer peak, but the record market will set off another wave of best-selling small climaxes.

In this week's Dongguan bookstore sales rankings, this situation is particularly stark.

For example, Zheng Guofeng's "Winter Rose" in the eleventh week of its listing, there was a big rebound in sales, and surprisingly returned to the high level of more than 130 million copies sold again, while He Runqing's "The Price of Love", which was listed in the middle of the summer, once again won 23,581 sales in a single week in the eighth week after its listing, and the rebound was even greater than that of "Winter Rose"!

And this week, of course, the most popular is "Reborn from the Fire".

The fifth album of the Five Elements Wusu Group won 29,054 copies in the first week of its release!

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

Although it is not very good to compare with the two albums of "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "The Boy on the Other Side" at the peak of Wuxing Wusu, it shows that although some fans will still buy their albums, after all, there are still quite a few fans who are obviously more interested in the rose power that inherits the real "mantle" of the original Wuxing Wusu, which has affected the album sales of the new Wuxing Wusu, but after all, the weekly sales of nearly 30,000 copies in the first week are already a shameless performance for the current Wuxing Wusu!

However, when the sales list of Dongguan Bookstore came out on September 11, it turned out that the second week of the album "Rebirth from the Fire" was still disappointing.

After almost consuming the nostalgia of fans in the first week of release, the sales of this album plummeted in the second week, from more than 29,000 copies in the previous week to only 17,051 copies left!

More than 40 percent down!

And so, a very magical scene appeared.

Because on Tuesday, September 12th, that is, tomorrow, the first album of Rose Power "Super-Star" will be officially launched, and the market is extremely looking forward to this album, so in the past ten days before that, most record companies and singers have an attitude of avoiding it, and therefore, except for the "Rebirth in the Fire" of the Five Elements Group, there are no strong singers and powerful albums, so with the "Rebirth in the Fire" 's sudden plunge, which has come to the ninth week of the market, although compared to last week's rebound, this week is also a sharp fall posture, but it is still back to the top with 17,558 sales!

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

Although it is not a six-week winning streak, it has been on the market for nine weeks, during which it has been hit by new albums many times. He has lost the single-week championship three times. But six weeks is six weeks! And six weeks during the summer vacation!

And Liao Liao's "Woman Flower" has been pressed all the way to Zhou Yan's "Witch's Tears" for six consecutive weeks. But it's only six weeks -- in terms of momentum, He Runqing's "The Price of Love" is actually not much inferior to "Woman Flower"! If you talk about toughness, it is even more than that!

From the release of "Woman Flower" on May 15 to the long record sales period ending September 10, there were only 17 weeks in total, with Liao Liao ruling the first six weeks and He Runqing ruling the last six weeks.

All other record labels. All the singers, big and small, and countless new records, can only share five of those seventeen weeks!

To this extent, it can be said that the two divas have teamed up to dominate the entire summer of the record market!

And then, on Tuesday, September 12th, another exciting and terrifying new album of the Super Tiantuan Rose Power Group under Minghu Culture will be released again!

If their new album is called "Super-Star" in the hype. If it can be as strong as it was in the original Five Elements period, then it can be predicted. The next five to eight weeks will belong to Minghu culture again!

However, at this time, on the eve of the upcoming launch of "Super-star", when Wuxing Wusu was promoting the album in the last variety show, Zhou Pingping, the captain of the Wuxing Wusu group, was asked by the host how to evaluate the combination of rose power, but suddenly threw out a shocking statement!

Originally, the atmosphere was very good, after all, the singer came to the show to promote the album, so he didn't need money, it was free, and for the program side, a top group like Wuxing Wusu was the most recent topic figure, which itself could boost the ratings, so during the recording of the program, everyone chatted vigorously according to the pre-formulated conversation plan.

However, when the host asked about the connection with several sisters in the past Five Elements and the fact that the outside world now generally believes that the combination of rose power in Minghu culture is the real Five Elements and what the members of the new Five Elements and Wusu think, as the captain, Zhou Pingping replied at the time: "The Five Elements are the Five Elements and the Rose Power is the Rose Power, we are not a combination, and it is not even the same thing at all!"

Then, then, as the conversation progressed, she said—

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

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

"No, I didn't say that he was talented, I mean, he knows how to do the right thing at the right time, for example, now, he is already the highest in the music industry, everyone recognizes his talent, and he has never come up with unsatisfactory works, so at this time he changed careers to make TV series, well, I think it's good!"

"Oh, we've been too busy to follow them, so they didn't pay attention to them, so their new album is called 'Super-Star', that's the name...... Haha, I don't mean anything else, no, I'm just saying that their name is very foreign! Actually, I've always disliked the feeling of adding English in Chinese, and Chinese song with an English name...... Maybe they're going to take the international route and sing English songs...... All in all, I personally don't like it very much!"

"Sales ...... How can we fight, we are not the same thing at all! We have five elements...... Thank you all, thank you to the fans for their love, the past results have been quite good, and Rose Power is a new combination. ”

"Predict their results...... I've heard that Qian Shao went to shoot a TV series, so even Qian Shao himself chose to retreat bravely, so you can imagine......

"Is Jiang Lang talented...... It's not easy to talk nonsense, and I haven't said it either, but what the quality is, just listen to their new album! It is said that it was created by Qian Shao! However, I firmly believe that our Wuxing Wusu is definitely the best female singing group in China. Of course, we welcome the power of roses to challenge!"

…………

On Tuesday, September 12, "Super-Star" was officially released nationwide.

On September 13, what Zhou Pingping said at the recording site of the program was passed out in fragments, which caused an astonishment among industry insiders!

On Friday night, September 15th, with the official broadcast of the uncut version of this episode, the domestic pop music scene, and even the entire domestic entertainment industry, instantly set off an uproar!

***

After writing this chapter, I saw that it was past twelve o'clock, but the amount was still very sufficient!

By the way, I really can't help it, and I have to complain again: Is it really necessary to set the word uproar as a forbidden word? )
