Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Chinese Wedding (Part I)
In front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Guan Zhilin looked at the white wedding dress on his body steadily, with mixed feelings in his heart, knowing that this was acting, but he still couldn't help but yearn for it. This wedding dress, which is layered with light yarn and is embellished with roses and gemstones woven from soft satin, is her hope for love and happiness.
And Wang Zheng in the distance, wearing a dress, was discussing something with director Zeng Zhiwei, and he couldn't see the excitement he should have as a groom on his face, which made Guan Zhilin a little disappointed, and he didn't know what year he would have to wait until he could wear a real wedding dress.
"Ah Zheng, there are already scenes of Paris in the play, and I think it is more suitable and romantic to shoot the final wedding at St. John's Church. Zeng Zhiwei insisted.
"Since we Chinese have a funeral, why use Western-style weddings? Although Xiangjiang is still in the colonial period, I am very sure to tell you that it will not be long before Xiangjiang returns to the mainland. ”
Wang Zheng also did not let it go at all, when he came to this era, he did not forget the goal of promoting traditional Chinese culture, but he was slowly proceeding step by step, in order for Zeng Zhiwei to agree to his Chinese wedding, he used a killer feature:" Ah Rong and Ah Weng are the most outstanding in ancient costumes, plus Li Xiangqin and Guan Haishan are a total of four couples, using ancient Chinese weddings for the final ending, that will have enough visual impact, not only Western-style weddings are romantic, Chinese also have Chinese romantic ways. ”
Seeing Wang Zheng say this, Zeng Zhiwei could only nod in agreement, who told him that he was not only the screenwriter and chief producer of this film, but also the youngest best director in Xiangjiang, and was forced to change the script by the youngest best director, Zeng Zhiwei couldn't resist.
After discussing with Zeng Zhiwei, Wang Zheng came to Guan Zhilin, saw her looking at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in a daze, and quipped: "What do you think about so fascinatingly, it's like you are really getting married today." ”
Guan Zhilin, who was broken by his heart, had red cheeks, puffed up his chest and said coquettishly: "Hmph, even if I get married today, I will be 21 years old soon, and I have already reached the age of marriage." ”
Wang Zheng really didn't dare to take her words, if he hadn't hid Wang Guojing, she would have received the certificate with the goods last year, and changed the topic with an embarrassed smile: "You should have seen a lot of church-style weddings in the West, but you must not have seen an ancient Chinese wedding!"
"Isn't it necessary to take wedding photos for ancient weddings?" Guan Zhilin was a little puzzled.
Wang Zheng smiled: "I just discussed with Director Zeng that Western-style weddings can't better express the events in the movie, but Chinese-style weddings can better present the Chinese's affairs." Liang Guan's dress, hairpin dress, Jiupin official dress, Fengguan Xia Wei, you must not have worn these ancient newcomer dresses, and they are definitely not worse than the wedding dress on your body. ”
Although she couldn't walk into the church with Wang Zheng in a wedding dress, the ancient dress that Wang Zheng said made Guan Zhilin yearn for it, and she asked with some expectation: "When will the ancient wedding start filming?"
Wang Zheng said a little melancholy: "It's only September now, and there is enough time left for us to shoot, and the more difficult thing to do now is Qiu Degen, the boss of Songcheng, who is our number one opponent of wireless." ”
Qiu Degen is not only the boss of Songcheng, but also the big boss of ATV today, if you want to shoot the last ancient wedding in Songcheng, I am afraid it is not an easy thing, but for the effect of the whole movie, Wang Zheng has to talk to Boss Qiu anyway.
In the bustling international metropolis of Kowloon, there is a completely different classical Chinese "city", that is, the Song City located on the seafront. Compared to the skyscrapers that soar into the sky not far away, it really looks like a village in the city. The Song Dynasty is also the city of the Song Dynasty in China. I saw that the surrounding city walls were towering, and there were soldiers holding swords and spears standing on the city walls, yellow flags with the word "Song", hunting and fluttering branches, moats, sparkling waves, and heavy city gates, ruthlessly cutting off the outside world.
Wang Zheng came to this Song City built on the Qingming Riverside alone, although it is only an area of eight acres of land, it is a famous scenic spot in Xiangjiang, and it is also the royal filming location of ATV costume dramas.
The Great Song and Han rivers and mountains, the momentum will last forever overseas.
The mansion of the rich family is famous in the city.
This pair is written quite boldly, and from the small "Song City", you can see the strength and prosperity of the Song Dynasty back then. This pair is still inlaid with the word couplet, the beginning of the embedding of the word "rich", indicating that the Song Dynasty is a "country of great wealth", the middle of the embedded "Song City" two words, just buckle the name of this place, at a glance you know that it is from the hand of a famous artist.
Wang Zheng didn't know if Qiu Degen would be in Songcheng, he came here today mainly to see the buildings in Songcheng, walked to the ticket window at the door, took off the sunglasses on his face, and smiled at the young female conductor inside: "Hello, I'm Wang Zheng, I don't know if your boss Qiu is in the city today?"
There are not many tourists who come to Songcheng in the afternoon, and when they heard Wang Zheng's self-introduction and questions, the female conductor was stunned before she reacted, and said a little excitedly: "Ah, you are Wang Zheng, I like your movie, I don't know if Boss Qiu is not there, but can you help me sign it first?"
Although he was a little speechless at the female conductor's request, Wang Zheng still smiled and said: "Of course you can sign it, but can you ask your leader first, I have something to talk to your boss Qiu!"
When the female conductor heard this, she picked up the phone and asked her leader, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a suit brought Wang Zheng into Songcheng, and the female conductor also got the autograph as she wished.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Boss Qiu's secretary, with the same surname as Mr. Wang, today the boss happened to be drinking tea in the city, and when I learned that Mr. Wang was coming, I specially asked me to greet him!"
"I don't dare to welcome you, I bother Secretary Wang to take me in, and I just want to see the scenery in Song City. ”
The words of the secretary surnamed Wang were very polite, and he took Wang Zheng to walk on the bluestone road in the city, if it were not for the fact that there were still some tourists on the street, Wang Zheng also thought that he had traveled to the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago "Bianliang", just because there were many shops, taverns, teahouses, courtyards, mansions, There is even a palace sitting in the center of the Song Dynasty, and the guys in the shop not only dress up as Song Dynasty people from head to toe, but even there are soldiers in armor in front of the palace to guard, all imitating the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, making people feel like they are in the Bianliang Imperial City.
There were also a number of acrobatic performances on the streets, all dressed as Song people, and followed Secretary Wang around the palace to a humble house at the end of the city, the only feature being that it was surrounded by turquoise bamboo.
Looking at the only lantern at the door with a big word "tea" written on it, Wang Zheng thought that Qiu Degen would meet him in the royal city, but he didn't expect it to be in an inconspicuous house on the corner of the street.
