"Hah! Zihang! Long time no see! ”
When Luo Zihang brought his assistant Zhao Qi to the crew of "Dragon Division" to report, Wang Chen came forward very enthusiastically and gave him a big hug.
In fact, Wang Chen was the first person to discover that Luo Zihang had great luck and put it into action, but it is a pity that he was "pitted" by the director and screenwriter of "We Are the Champions".
After that, he wanted to cooperate with Luo Zihang, but he couldn't find a chance, so he was really happy from the bottom of his heart that the shining group could be reunited this time.
Luo Zihang looked at Wang Chen, whose face was full of enthusiasm, and sighed somewhat in his heart......
This was the case when he was in the Shining Troupe, Wang Chen openly and secretly supported the strongest You Zhenkun, but he had a bad relationship with Wu Zelin of the same company, and then failed to compete with Wu Zelin in Blue Shadow, so he was very wise to immediately bow down and be small.
And for those famous artists, whether they are seniors or juniors, he all behaves respectfully, but those artists who are not famous, he will not pay attention to them at all, which leads to Wang Chen still having the nickname of "Xiaochenzi" in the circle, ironically He is no different from the ancient father-in-law, but Wang Chen still goes his own way, and almost writes the word "snobbery" on his face.
After all, compared to the "friends" who smile on the surface and give a knife behind their backs, "dog legs" like Wang Chen are more favored by stars who are accustomed to flowers and applause...... Anyway, it's rare to have a true friend in this circle, so it's better to get to know more followers, so that the mood can be happier.
And Wang Chen may not have any dignity in doing this, but he did get some resources because of this, and even because of his character, he got a fixed team seat in a variety show, and his character is a snob.
"Long time no see." Luo Zihang smiled and hugged him in turn.
Because of the other party's behavior, he reminded him of the days when he pretended to be a grandson in front of various leaders and customers in his previous life, so he would not despise the other party......
Of course, that's all there is to it, it is impossible to get Luo Zihang to spend a lot of effort to help him, there are more people like Wang Chen in the entertainment industry, but most people are not as red as him.
Luo Zihang is not a saint, just a salted fish with good luck.
In addition to Wang Chen, five other former teammates also came forward to greet him, and even Wu Zelin was no exception.
After all......
Zheng Xilan is such a small transparent person in the entertainment industry, just because Luo Zihang gave a line and suddenly became popular, no matter how you think about it, it seems a little too magical, so even Wu Zelin, who does not believe in evil, can only bow to reality at this time......
He is just an ordinary rich second generation, and his family relationship and money do help him in the entertainment industry, but it is basically the limit for him to maintain his popularity now, unless he hits some good luck later......
But when it comes to good luck, in the entire entertainment industry now, Luo Zihang is one who is absolutely inescapable, so as long as Wu Zelin wants to become more popular, he has to come to have a good relationship with Luo Zihang.
It's just that Wu Zelin's mentality hasn't completely changed, and he is still a little unconvinced in his heart, or rather, he doesn't want to behave like Wang Chen, nodding to Luo Zihang, which causes his expression to look a little awkward, and people want to come over but refuse to come.
In addition to Wu Zelin, You Zhenkun's expression is also very entangled, he is the most arrogant one when he shines in the group, as the "real first" with all his abilities, he looks down on Wu Zelin who throws money, and Luo Zihang, who can't do anything, he confidently believes that he can become the most dazzling star in the entertainment industry......
But the reality has hit him again and again, among a group of them, the best mixed is Luo Zihang, who was the weakest at the beginning, this "unscientific" gap makes You Zhenkun very angry, but the ups and downs of the past few years have made him have to accept such a reality.
He still wants to become a star, so according to his agent, he should have a good relationship with Luo Zihang, but he can put the hope of becoming famous on illusory luck, not on his own strength, and You Zhenkun really can't do anything to please Luo Zihang, so he can only stand there awkwardly and squeeze out a very reluctant smile.
And Wei Yachao and Liang Qi, who are also unsatisfactory, seem to be a little submissive, if it weren't for the fact that the director of "Dragon Division" wanted to reunite with the shining troupe this time, the two would still be running blindly between various crews, just for a role.
In addition, the company where the two of them work has no sense of existence in the circle, so in the face of Luo Zihang, who is no longer of the same class as them, the two who lack confidence don't even dare to come forward to communicate, and honestly stand at the back with You Zhenkun.
Zhang Ge, who doesn't have much idea about acting, is probably the most peaceful of the six, and he doesn't have too many utilitarian ideas when he greets Luo Zihang, but is very interested in Luo Zihang's ability to write the song "Destiny", and wants to find an opportunity to have a good chat with him about music.
After his eyes swept over these "old teammates" with different expressions, Luo Zihang nodded, released kindness and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I'll go to the director first, and we'll get together again when the filming is over." ”
At the beginning in the Shining Group, the relationship between them was not good, but it was not bad, except for Wu Zelin, who was a little bit of a son-in-law, the others basically had no intersection with Luo Zihang, and even for a while, Liang Qi got along well with himself, so Luo Zihang naturally had no need to worry about them.
Seeing Luo Zihang talking so well, Wang Chen's smile became even bigger, and Wei Yachao and Liang Qi's expressions were also a lot more relaxed, You Zhenkun was stunned, his expression was not so entangled, and Zhang Ge's expression did not change, but Wu Zelin ...... His expression became even more awkward......
It's not that he doesn't want to accept Luo Zihang's kindness, after all, he relented and agreed to match Luo Zihang, as long as he doesn't go to be a dog, he still won't resist normal cooperation and exchange.
The reason why Wu Zelin's expression is awkward is because he has always regarded Luo Zihang as his "competitor" before, which is also the main reason why he has always resisted cooperating with Luo Zihang.
But now Luo Zihang's usual attitude finally made Wu Zelin sober up from that unconvinced, and he finally found that Luo Zihang had never regarded himself as an opponent from beginning to end, and he had only unilaterally regarded the other party as his imaginary enemy before.
After recognizing the situation, the tangled look on Wu Zelin's face finally disappeared, and was replaced by a little loneliness.
After a brief greeting with the rest of the crew, Ye Shi, the director of "Dragon Division", organized a script reading......
In the previous "Hero Lin Tiannan", the fact that Director Liu Xu got a lot of inspiration from Luo Zihang has long been spread, so Ye Shi also hopes to replicate Director Liu's experience and make the quality of "Dragon Division" to a higher level.
Moreover......
You can also learn from Director Liu to hype it up.
Although it is an act of picking up people's teeth, this kind of thing is originally one or two, and it can't be repeated over and over again, and he doesn't take this opportunity to follow the trend, and it will be too late in the future when the public is accustomed to this method or even disgusted.
Luo Zihang didn't know what Director Ye Shi was thinking, because he had asked them to revise the script as much as possible before, so his impression of "Dragon Division" was still the content of the previous first revision, and he hadn't seen the latest version in his hand.
This is also the reason why Director Ye Shi organized the script to be read...... Like Luo Zihang, the other actors have actually only seen the early version, and the new version of the script is unfamiliar to everyone.
So for a while, the whole crew was quiet, and only the sound of turning pages could be heard from time to time.
And the more Luo Zihang watched it, the more he felt that the script in his hand was like "Clever Little Don't Understand" that he had seen in his previous life, and the memory of this drama in his previous life had also recovered a lot.
And then......
Again, he felt that the two were not so similar.
In my memory, there is actually only about half of the content about the academy in "Clever Little Understanding", and the second half is about the court, but because this "Dragon Master" is changed from a campus drama, there is no content in the court at all, and there is no setting that the protagonist is a prince who is outcast.
In addition, there are some details that are not the same, such as not knowing that he is looking for a woman who grows camellia for the emperor, while Lu Zhilong is to cooperate with the retired bachelor to investigate the corruption list of local officials......
“emmmm……”
Although this reason is a bit ridiculous, considering that "Dragon Division" is not based on court dramas, and it is still a comedy genre, this is not too big a slot.
If you really want to count it, there are more ridiculous settings in "Clever Little Don't Understand", especially the court drama in the back, Luo Zihang feels very ridiculous in retrospect, but it still won't weaken its excitement.
Overall, it's more like an expanded version of the first half of "Clever Little Don't Understand".
Then Luo Zihang flipped through the cast again, and the expression on his face was a little weird......
Wang Chen plays a student who wants to befriend the children of high-ranking officials, Zhang Ge plays a student with musical talent, Wei Yachao plays the role of a master tailor sissy, and Liang Qi plays a peasant child who wants to study hard but has no talent......
Not to mention the characters who are full of déjà vu for the time being, the director is too suitable, right?
Wang Chen and Zhang Ge don't talk about it, the roles of the two are indeed the most suitable for me.
Although Wei Yachao is not very familiar with Luo Zihang, when he was in the talent show before, he was the one with the strongest "fat powder", there was a special box for cosmetics, and there were a lot of clothes, and he was hacked by many people because of this at that time......
I don't know if he still has his pile of cosmetics with him.
In addition, Liang Qi Luo Zihang still knows better, his background is similar to Luo Zihang, but one of the two is from the mountains and the other is from the countryside, and the family is really farming, which is also the reason why their relationship was better before......
However, the student of the rich second generation and the second generation of black is not Wu Zelin, but played by You Zhenkun, and Wu Zelin chose the identity of a teacher.
As for his psychology, Luo Zihang can guess a little...... He probably doesn't want to be his "student", so he would rather choose a role with fewer roles but can be on the same level as himself.
How so...... It's quite naïve, if it weren't for Wu Zelin taking the initiative to back down, the rich second-generation character with a lot of scenes would definitely not fall on the head of You Zhenkun, a person who was almost abandoned by his own company.
In fact, when Luo Zihang complained about Wu Zelin, he also regretted it.
I used to die to save face, and I was told by my agent that I would not repent, but now I finally figured it out, but it's too late to change it.
"I guess everyone has already finished reading the script, right? You can put forward any suggestions, there is a lot of power in numbers! ”
Ye Shi saw that everyone had closed the script, and immediately asked, but his eyes kept looking at Luo Zihang.
But it's a pity that Luo Zihang, who hasn't entered the dungeon yet, can't give him any advice.
"I don't have any suggestions," Luo Zihang shrugged his shoulders at Ye Shi, who looked expectant, "This script is very interestingly written, and the ratings and on-demand ratings should be very good." ”
Ye Shi was not in a hurry, after all, "Hero Lin Tiannan" was not changed according to what Luo Zihang said at the beginning, he turned his head to look at the others, and continued to ask, "What about you?" Feel free to share any ideas, and while my main aim is to get a good fortune on Zihang, if you do have useful suggestions, I'll take them. ”
The director's candid speech made the rest of the actors a little confused, but after several old-timers looked at each other for a while, they really put forward some ideas, and the director's assistant on the side also recorded their words seriously.
After collecting everyone's opinions, and then everyone began to discuss their respective characters, but Director Ye Shi was pleasantly surprised to find that Luo Zihang, who had been recognized for his old drama bones and acting skills, did not mention for the time being, and several other people in the Shining Troupe had a deep understanding of the roles......
It was Wu Zelin who pulled a little.
And Luo Zihang glanced at You Zhenkun, who had not been very emotional, with some surprise, and the others had a deep understanding of the characters, but You Zhenkun ......
What he is good at should only be singing and dancing, and he is still very idol in terms of acting skills, at least the roles he played at the beginning, his performance was very average.
Could this product really be a black second generation, right?
If this is the case, then Director Ye Shi is also a talent, and he can assign roles to them so accurately.
After reading the simple script, then several main actors went to change into costumes to take makeup photos, and Wu Zelin, Wei Yachao and Liang Qi, who had fewer roles, also had their share in taking makeup photos because the crew wanted to use the shining troupe as a publicity point, so they also went to change costumes together.
It's just that as supporting roles with little status, several of them and Luo Zihang don't put on makeup in the same place, but the protagonist has a special dressing room.
Luo Zihang, as the protagonist, has to change several sets of clothes - robes, regular clothes, and the uniforms of the academy teachers...... Although Luo Zihang didn't understand why even teachers in a college had to wear special uniforms, the director designed it like this, so change it.
The makeup artist took a bunch of things and fiddled with Luo Zihang's face for a while, and then, like other peers, exclaimed: "Mr. Luo, your skin is so good, you don't need to do too much retouching at all." ”
Then he also cocked his orchid finger and stroked Luo Zihang's face twice......
"Big brother, please hurry up." Luo Zihang urged with a black line on his face.
Although many people say that there are seven gay out ten male makeup artists, in fact, some male makeup artists deliberately pretend to be sissies, because doing so will make people more convinced of their ability in makeup.
As for what the makeup artist in front of him is, Luo Zihang doesn't know, and he is not interested in knowing.
The makeup artist curled her mouth very girlishly, and continued to pinch the orchid finger "delicately" and said: "I hate it, people are not big brothers, just call them Shanna or Nana." ”
However, although he complained, the work in his hand was very neat, and he quickly put on a hair cover and wig for Luo Zihang, and then took a navy blue robe from the side.
Because it was filming a TV series, this robe has been modified to a certain extent to make it more slim, and it is also embroidered with auspicious clouds and gossip pictures, which looks more like some kind of cosplay costume.
After changing his clothes, Luo Zihang stood up and moved twice, feeling quite good, and then he glanced at the crew next to him and looked at his body suspiciously.
"What are you all looking at me like this? Is it wearing the wrong one? ”
