Chapter 284: Formal Filming and Rehearsal
Tong Yao didn't expect that she could still have such an opportunity, and she was too surprised.
When the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady" recruited actors, they never mentioned that they would adopt a novel way of disguising women as men and letting people play Xu Xian.
If the crew releases this news in advance, I am afraid that there will be more actors who will come to play Xu Xian, and the topic of this drama will be more sufficient.
However, the nursery rhyme thought that since the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady" began to recruit actors, there has been no news on the Internet, which may be because Gu Che and they deliberately wanted to hide from the public and only let out rumors in the industry.
Just like the previous stage plays and movies, it wasn't until a week before the release that netizens knew that Gu Che had actually done something.
The way that the promotion only started a week ago is rare in the industry.
Only when you are confident in your content will you start the promotion in such a short time, and the general crew will start the promotion for a month.
Tong Yao took a deep breath, and the script in her hand felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.
She can already imagine what kind of surprise and heated discussions her outfit will cause everyone when the crew officially starts filming tomorrow.
She let out a long exhale, "It's so stressful!"
Tong Yao smiled bitterly: "I knew that I was going to play Xu Xian, so I wouldn't take the initiative to ask the director. He can give it to me whenever he wants, and it's no problem to delay it until the moment before filming starts. Now that I've given it in advance, I'm afraid I'm going to lose sleep all night!"
Xu Xian, a woman dressed as a man!
Although "The Legend of the New White Lady" is based on myths and legends, it is already very different from the original "The Legend of the White Snake".
But.
Xu Xian, who dressed as a man, was too surprising.
Can nursery rhymes imagine what kind of bloody rain will be ushered in once this drama is broadcast?
She looked determined and held the script tightly.
But even the director and Gu Che are not afraid, what is she afraid of?
Since they are willing to give her a chance, then she must not let them down!
Tong Yao decided to hold the script 24 hours from now on, and never leave her!
The next day, the crew officially started filming.
"The Legend of the New White Lady" adopts a closed filming throughout the whole process, and during the filming, every actor eats and lives in the crew, and cannot ask for leave to go out, even if it is a supporting role.
Because Gu Che knows that once netizens know that Xu Xian is played by an actress disguised as a man, it will definitely cause a discussion on the Internet, and it may even make this drama die during the filming.
So now, what he has to guard against is not to let the news be revealed in advance!
So he deliberately rented a resort, and even after the filming of the supporting roles was completed, he couldn't go out, and stayed in the resort until the filming of this drama was completed.
In the crew, the actors looked left and right, guessing who Xu Xian was playing.
The actor of the White Lady has been determined, and she is a famous beauty in the industry, called Ming Yazhi.
Although Ming Yazhi is only a second-tier actor, she has been out of the circle several times with her beauty and contributed several sets of divine pictures.
Most of her popularity is made by relying on those few divine pictures.
So she urgently needs a masterpiece of her own in order to gain a firm foothold in the industry.
"The Legend of the New White Lady" is a script that she finally won over, so she worked hard to polish her acting skills, and specially hired a teacher to teach her relevant acting skills in her free time.
Ming Yazhi still remembers the two words that Gu Che said to her during the interview.
"I'm very happy with your appearance, you fit the standard of a white lady in my mind. But I'm not satisfied with your acting skills, and now there is about half a month of preparation time before the crew starts filming, and I hope that during this time, you will be able to polish your acting skills, and when the crew officially starts filming, your acting skills will be better than now."
Ming Yazhi nodded, and said with great apprehension, "I will work hard, Teacher Gu!"
She held the microphone nervously, her palms sweating.
But Gu Che was not satisfied with her answer.
With a serious expression, he said, "It's not about trying, it's about doing it. There are several actresses with the same appearance as you, and each of them has better acting skills than you. If you're still acting like you are doing when the crew starts filming, I'll replace you."
This sentence scared Ming Yazhi enough, and it was at that time that she made up her mind to hire an acting teacher who could be announced at any time, otherwise she would not be sure that she would be able to meet Gu Che's requirements.
The team took her request very seriously, to be precise, the question raised by Gu Che.
For this reason, Ming Yazhi had to reduce some announcements and spend more time studying acting.
On the day the crew started filming, although she felt nervous, she already had a little confidence!
In the past half a month, she dares to guarantee that her acting skills have improved by leaps and bounds!
"Oh my God, who is she?"
"She's the actor of Xu Xian!"
"No wonder the crew has been refusing to release the news to the public, Xu Xian is actually a woman dressed as a man!"
Ming Yazhi couldn't help but look over and was stunned.
"This actor is ...... Tong Yao?"
Tong Yao is very handsome, and her male appearance is not weak at all.
When interviewing actresses, the director will ask them to come to the men's costume once.
At the time, they only thought that there was a supporting character that needed a woman to dress as a man.
And the classic myth and legend of "The Legend of the White Snake" naturally does not have a plot of a woman dressed as a man, it is conceivable that this is a plot adapted and added by Gu Che.
Although everyone is curious about what role a woman dresses as a man, they haven't delved into it to the end, after all, it's just a supporting role, not a starring role.
Now, Xu Xian, played by Tong Yao, stood up, and all the stars were in a trance, it turned out that the woman dressed as a man referred to Xu Xian!
Gu Che is crazy?
The director is crazy??
Or are they all crazy???
How can Xu Xian disguise herself as a man?
Once this news leaks out, netizens can't see it, and they can spray this drama to death!
Sun Zhengxin understands that the actors' minds are very impetuous, after all, when he first knew, he was also very impetuous.
So before the official filming, he gathered all the actors together and held a meeting to elaborate on Gu Che's thoughts.
"Presumably everyone has seen the classic myths and legends of "The Legend of the White Snake", and knows that Xu Xian's original character is relatively cowardly, and our screenwriter Gu wants to satirize Xu Xian's weakness and show Xu Xian's kindness by dressing up as a man."
"When I first learned that he had adapted it this way, I raised a lot of objections, but in the end I was persuaded by Gu Che."
"So I hope that everyone in this drama can work together and continue filming without fear of wind and rain. has become the most unique one among all the TV series adaptations related to "The Legend of the White Snake"!"
The actors' faces changed for a while, and they were all thoughtful.
Director Sun Zhengxin is also right!
The series "The Legend of the White Snake" has been brought on fire by Gu Che, and now there are two major adaptations of "The Legend of the New White Lady" and "The Legend of the White Snake".
Who knows if there will be several other adaptations in the future?
After all, "The Legend of the White Snake" is classic enough, and it is not impossible to take it out and remake it every few years.
In an adaptation, as long as the audience mentions "The Legend of the White Snake", they will never forget "The Legend of the New White Lady"!
Regardless of whether this drama is popular in the end or not, it is definitely right to make it memorable.
Thinking like this, the actors' floating minds quieted down again.
After a while, the first act of "The Legend of the New White Lady" officially started filming!
And Gu Che also showed his face and looked at the first scene filmed by the crew.
Ye Ming followed Gu Che's side, looking down at his phone from time to time, and when Gu Che finally finished filming the first act, he immediately said, "You've seen it too, hurry up and follow me to catch a plane!"
Gu Che was a little helpless, "Can't you not go to the rehearsal? Today's first day of shooting, it's a little important, I'm worried—"
Ye Ming said with a dark face: "No, you are not a director, if you want to grasp the quality of the crew, it is not for you to grasp the quality of the crew, but you are the leading actor in the rehearsal of "The Strongest Singer", and the rehearsal time of all singers is fixed, you will not meet other singers if you go now."
"If you don't go, Li Yi will have to readjust you, which will disrupt a lot of plans."
"The Strongest Singer" adopts the method of announcing a @Essence Shuge debut singer every week, and now there is nearly a month to go, and there are four @Essence Shuge debut singers who have not yet been announced.
But now the rehearsal for the first round of competition is about to take place, and in order not to delay or leak other singers, the stage rehearsal has been strictly arranged, so that every singer can't meet each other.
Ye Ming knew that Gu Che was worried about the crew, but he was Gu Che's agent, and it was necessary to remind Gu Che what was important.
Gu Che also understood this truth, and told Sun Zhengxin that he must shoot according to the script, and embarked on a rehearsal journey.
After Gu Che left, the atmosphere of the crew couldn't help but become relaxed, and even Sun Zhengxin quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He looked at Luo Mingli, who was helping out in the crew, and asked secretly, "In the past, when Gu Che was rehearsing the Cantonese opera stage play, was he also so serious?"
Gu Che's gaze was very sharp, and the actors in the crew became angry and didn't dare to gasp, a little nervous.
Luo Mingli shrugged his shoulders, he didn't think Gu Che was very serious.
may have been accustomed to Gu Che's rigorous attitude for a long time, as long as it is something that Gu Che does, he is very serious.
"When I was rehearsing the Cantonese opera stage play before, Gu Che was just a playwright, and the director was our senior brother Kong Ping.
"TV dramas are different from movies, they take a long time, and there will be a lot of variables in between, so he's a bit strict."
Luo Mingli explained: "But I think it's good to be strict, the daily consumption of the resort is not a small amount, and if the filming is not finished in a day, all the actors can't leave for a day, Gu Che may be a little nervous to withstand the pressure of closed shooting."
No matter how much money you have, it's not like that!
Senior Brother Kong Ping actually said Gu Che, don't use closed shooting, the consumption is too great.
But Gu Che believes that if the news is leaked in advance, this drama is more likely to be unable to continue, so he decided to close the filming.
Luo Mingli has no problem, anyway, he can still invest.
Originally, the little junior brother planned very well, and with him staring at him, he was sure that the crew would complete the filming within two months.
But I didn't expect that "The Strongest Singer" found him again at this time.
The "Strongest Singer" program team put the filming occasion in Zhongzhou for recording this year, so Gu Che and Ye Ming flew to Zhongzhou in the afternoon and arrived at Zhongzhou Airport in the evening.
The two of them were fully armed and rushed to the program team non-stop, and Gu Che didn't have time to eat a bite of food, so he started the rehearsal first.
He only had one night to spend with the band.
But the people in the band have been waiting for Gu Che for a day.
So when Gu Che rushed over, he also brought a lot of gifts and said sorry to everyone.
In any case, the superficial work must be done sufficiently.
The song prepared by Gu Che is a Cantonese song, and it is a brand new one-
Slow song!
There are so many love songs in his song library that Gu Che doesn't know which ones to pick.
In the end, Gu Che decided to carry out the Cantonese style to the end, so he chose to choose from the Cantonese thesaurus, and finally selected a very classic love song.
This love song is also one of the masterpieces of a certain heavenly king on earth, but it is famous for the Chinese version, not the Cantonese version.
Many people think that the Chinese version was released first, and then the Cantonese version.
In fact, this is wrong, but the Cantonese version appeared at least a year in advance, and the Chinese version was born.
Because this song became popular, the king sang a Chinese version again.
As a result, even he himself could not have imagined that the Chinese version would be more popular, covering the original Cantonese version.
Gu Che's ability is excellent, and he has an innate sense of control over music more and more.
So once he got into the groove, he just ran in with the band twice, and let the band unconsciously follow his pace.
It's not Gu Che who caters to the band, it's the band that caters to Gu Che.
It's also strange to say, after waiting for a day, those band teachers will be more or less resentful in their hearts, feeling that Gu Che is too disrespectful to this stage, no matter how busy the announcement is, they should say it in advance, instead of letting them wait in vain.
But when Gu Che really came, they didn't think so anymore.
It's worth the wait!
Gu Che's singing skills and sense of tone are even better than they imagined!
They've seen many singers sing better in the studio and not so well in the live version.
I don't know what kind of singer Gu Che belongs to, but at least he sang in the scene, and Gu Che gave them the feeling that the singing voice was like in the studio.
Walking humanoid CD!
After Gu Che finished rehearsing, he felt that it was already okay, and it was eleven o'clock in the evening.
Gu Che apologized to the band teacher again and invited them to have a barbecue together.
A few bottles of wine, a bunch of skewers, those band teachers were already convinced by Gu Che.
Ye Ming and Gu Che had already booked a hotel to stay in, and when the two went to the hotel, Ye Ming also said with a smile: "Originally, I thought those band teachers would talk about you, but I didn't expect that they didn't even speak, you have such a good temper!"
Gu Che smiled and said disapprerovingly, "Maybe it's not that you don't lose your temper, but it's not necessarily that you've been conquered by my singing."
Ye Ming doesn't understand music, and he can't hear anything good or bad, "How is it possible, how many singers have you heard the band teacher sing, and your singing voice is so special?"
However, Gu Che involuntarily pinched his throat, thoughtful.
Tonight's rehearsal and singing, he felt like he had a better grasp of his music.
Last year, when he was on the stage of "I Am a Singer-Songwriter", he had this feeling -
It was as if he could control the stage.
And tonight's rehearsal made him feel this more profoundly.
I don't know if it's his delusion.
Gu Che gave Ye Ming a precautionary shot in advance: "Maybe you can prepare the information for me to be promoted to a first-line singer first."
Ye Ming "cut" his voice, "You have the ability, you will jump to a first-line singer for me in a month!"
He patted Gu Che on the shoulder: "Now your identity is a rookie singer, a pure newcomer!" Please identify yourself, Singer Gu Che!"
