Chapter 66: The Crew
Taipei, Yangmingshan.
As one of the most famous tourist attractions on Treasure Island, it is characterized by beautiful scenery.
And because it is a rare volcanic area on Treasure Island, because of the influence of volcanic activity, it has formed underground sulfur eruption holes and boiling sulfur springs, making its scenery peculiar and spectacular, so it is the most famous, and it is one of the tourist centers and summer resorts in the north of Treasure Island.
Every summer, a large number of tourists come here to visit.
And the main filming location of "The Legend of the New White Lady" on Treasure Island is here.
The crew deliberately built a relatively large interior studio here for filming.
On September 5, after Chen Qiming came to the crew, he was immediately welcomed by the crew.
Especially Cao Jingde, the producer of the TV series.
This has a very high status in Taiwan Television, a bit similar to Ge Fuhong's status in China Television.
Many of the current excellent variety shows of Taiwan TV are produced by him.
For example, variety shows such as "Happy Every Day" and "Happy Stage" are all produced by him.
In the late 80s, he began to move to the field of television, and successively cooperated with Taiwan Television and China Television on TV series such as "Angel Love" and "Sai Jinhua" with high ratings on Treasure Island.
From Cao Jingde's previous dramas, Chen Qiming analyzed one of its characteristics.
That is, this person is willing to spend money on TV.
Whether it is "Angel Love" or "Sai Jinhua", he has spent a lot of money to invite Hong Kong big names to bless the TV series.
In "Angel Love" in eight or nine years, he invited Leslie Cheung, who was at the peak of his career at the time, to sing the theme song "Angel Love" for the TV series.
In the 90s, "Sai Jinhua" directly invited the famous Hong Kong TV actress Chen Yulian to star.
And this year's "The Legend of the New White Lady" is the same, he directly invited Zhao Yazhi.
Don't underestimate Zhao Yazhi, although Zhao Yazhi is not well-known in the Hong Kong film industry, in the field of television, she is undoubtedly the top in the industry.
In the early 80s, after "Shanghai Tang" became popular, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the first actress of TVB.
In addition, because of the developed film and television industry in Hong Kong, Hong Kong actors are not very affordable to film and television in other places.
Therefore, when it comes to invitation, it is often very costly.
And Chen Qiming.
In terms of popularity, after the release of a "Trendy People", Chen Qiming has undoubtedly become one of the first-line ranks of the treasure island.
For Cao Jingde, as long as Chen Qiming's popularity can be blessed with a small half of the TV series, the ratings of the TV series will definitely be able to achieve good results.
Therefore, after Chen Qiming came to the crew, he warmly received him and personally introduced the directors and actors of the crew.
After some introduction, Chen Qiming had a preliminary contact with most of the crew.
Xia Zuhui, the director of this play, the famous director of Huangmei Opera, is responsible for the overall planning and drama of this play.
He Lin, Chen Qiming doesn't know much about this, he only knows that he is the director of Taiwan TV, who is responsible for filming the main scene in the play.
Then Zhao Yazhi followed Ye Tong.
These two basically don't need to be introduced, Chen Qiming knows that they are famous red stars in Hong Kong.
Although Zhao Yazhi has rarely filmed again over the years, her reputation is still the same, and she has a large number of people chasing her.
Well, maybe there are too many people chasing her, causing her husband Huang Jinshen to follow her ass almost all the time.
When Chen Qiming greeted Zhao Yazhi, Huang Jinshen was standing next to him, his eyes constantly examining Chen Qiming, as if he was afraid that Chen Qiming would sleep with his wife.
Chen Qiming disagreed with this and smiled at him.
Although Zhao Yazhi was indeed a well-known existence in the past.
But now!
In fact, Zhao Yazhi is also very beautiful now, not only beautiful, but also because she has given birth to several children, she has a unique temperament that is mature and attractive.
But Chen Qiming is really not interested in her.
In terms of age, Zhao Yazhi is almost as old as his mother, and he really doesn't have much interest in her.
chatted with Zhao Yazhi and his wife, and Chen Qiming met Ye Tong and Chen Meiqi under the recommendation of Cao Jingde.
Chen Meiqi's words, although it is a family, Chen Qiming has no deep impression of her, and the only impression is that he learned from some newspapers that this person seems to have been intervened in the relationship by Guan Zhiling, which led to the breakdown of the marriage.
It's Ye Tong, for this, Chen Qiming admires it very much.
I admire her acting skills.
Chen Qiming has seen several of her movies.
In terms of acting skills, to be honest, they are among the top Hong Kong actresses.
Well, the second best actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards is her.
Because he admired her acting skills, Chen Qiming chatted with her for a while, mainly asking her to help guide her acting.
Compared with other Hong Kong actors who have a sense of contempt when facing actors in other Chinese-speaking regions, Ye Tong has a very good personality, Chen Qiming asked her several questions, and she patiently explained to Chen Qiming.
After Chen Qiming got acquainted with the crew's personnel environment, he began to change clothes under the leadership of the staff.
The play "The Legend of the New White Lady" can be divided into two parts.
Part of it is the story of the White Lady and Xu Xian in the early stage.
The second part is the story of the White Lady being pressed in Leifeng Tower, and after Xu Xian became a monk, their son Xu Shilin vowed to win the top prize and save his biological mother Bai Suzhen.
The first part has been almost completely filmed, and the second part is getting ready to start shooting.
Chen Qiming didn't shoot in the first two days when he came to the crew, he just took a few sets of stills after changing his costume for publicity.
Since the crew invited Chen Qiming to come, they naturally will not waste his high popularity in vain.
As soon as he arrived at the crew, the crew released the news that he would participate in "The Legend of the New White Lady".
And the next day, the stills of his makeup were published in the newspaper.
"Popular singer Chen Qiming joins Taiwan TV's annual drama, adding another point of bargaining chips to Taiwan TV"
As the supernova of Baodao this year, Chen Qiming's news is really less than that of Lin Zhiying and Wu Qilong.
Therefore, as soon as this newspaper was published, it immediately attracted the attention of many of his fans.
If there are fans who pay attention, the newspaper will naturally have sales, and if there is sales, the newspaper will naturally pay attention to it.
So, from the third day onwards, there were inexplicably more reporters around the crew.
These reporters are all here for Chen Qiming.
There are even fans who come all the way to Yangmingshan from other parts of the treasure island, just to meet Chen Qiming.
"You're so popular!"
The filming location is the scene where Xu Shilin and Qi Baoshan played by Chen Qiming met today.
Qi Baoshan shot the bird, the bird fell, and knocked Xu Shilin, who was reading in the tree, unconscious, and then Qi Baoshan thought he was dead and wanted to bury him.
To be honest, Chen Qiming has a why.
That is, why did Xu Shilin run to the mountains in the wilderness and climb the trees when he read books?
Is it for bird watching?
However, that's how the plot came about, Chen Qiming is just an actor, and he takes pictures.
When he came to the crew, Liu Ciwei explained to him, no matter what the play was, he listened to the director.
If you talk nonsense, it's easy to offend the director.
Therefore, he can only bury this doubt in his heart and shoot according to the plot.
Chen Qiming's acting talent has been verified again here, and a total of three scenes have been filmed.
After filming, the crew began to rest and prepare to change venues.
As soon as he and Ye Tong sat down in the shade of the tree next to him, there was a sound of chattering not far away.
It was the tourists who discovered the crew.
"It's Chen Qiming!"
"Oh my God! It's him! ”
"Obviously, I'm so hard to find you! I've climbed three mountains and finally found you! Woowoo woo ......"
With a burst of shouts, everyone in the crew looked at Chen Qiming.
Even Ye Tong couldn't help but say, "You are so popular!" ”
"Sorry! I'll take care of it! ”
Seeing that the fans rushed over, Chen Qiming said a word apologetically, and then walked over quickly.
