Chapter 175: Doubts and Expectations
Wei Xiao feels that he is still quite low-key in both life and work, but the key is that the audience doesn't think so.
The top directors in China, the works in their hands cover almost all the themes that men, women and children like, and they have won almost all the director awards at home and abroad.
In one sentence, Wei Xiao is someone else's director.
"Empress Yuan Zhao" is a large-scale historical conspiracy drama that he created after three years, and the protagonist in the play is the only empress in history with the highest popularity value.
is that even if he just routinely posted a poster of the heroine according to his habit, even if it was still on a working day, a lot of people silently looked forward to paying attention to the party.
So such a dynamic, just under the spontaneous promotion of netizens, the popularity that is visible to the naked eye has soared.
It's just that when I saw such a big production, the heroine who started was just Jiang Lingxi, who was not even a second-tier and had been in the dark before, was almost all voices who didn't understand and didn't accept it for a while.
[Shocked my whole family, who is Jiang Lingxi? ] Is Director Wei crazy this time, even if it's not Xu Qingmei, She Man, Lin Qingxuan, anyone, why did you find such a little actor! 】
[Jiang Lingxi can hold up the aura of the only empress in history, don't make trouble, I suspect that Aite who manages the account of the crew is the wrong person, hurry up and change it. 】
[I don't accept Jiang Lingxi to play the empress, and return my majesty to the empress who shocks the universe! ] 】
……
After a while, a different comment quietly appeared.
[That, do you want to click on the official promotional image to take a look, it's best to take a look at the eyes on the photo.] 】
This comment is mixed with a lot of comments that are not optimistic, but because there are too many people discussing, it is still targeted by many people, and they will click on the picture suspiciously.
The picture is instantly enlarged, covering the entire phone screen.
The person who clicked on the picture thought about the comments he had just seen, and after sweeping the magnificent background of the picture and the strongly colored vermilion dragon robe, he landed on the face in the photo that was half blocked by the crown, and when he met the eyes that looked through the gap in the crown, he subconsciously held his breath.
After a while, I breathed a sigh of relief.
When I looked down, I saw that the hairs on my arms were still in a state of fried hair.
The moment he met the eyes in the photo, he really felt that he was being quietly scrutinized by a pair of superior eyes. These eyes did not wave, but they instantly set off a monstrous wave in his heart.
Until this moment, there is still some scalp tingling.
You know, it's just a picture.
Rubbing his arms, subconsciously clicking on the photo to save it, and returning to the comment area, I saw that there were more different comments.
[After complaining, I went to click on the photo and looked at it, well, I apologize for my attitude in front, the look in the photo really scared me. 】
[Professional makeup artist, the actor's lip color in the photo is actually light, I always thought that the aura of the big red lips was the strongest, so I P myself, with two pictures for comparison, it is actually a stronger aura on the promotional picture, which is a bit subversive of my cognition. 】
There are also a lot of comments under this comment, and one of them has the highest number of likes.
[This shows that the aura is not affected by the color of the lips, it should be covered by my aura, even if it is a light lip, it does not affect the momentum of the actor. 】
[I just went to search for Jiang Lingxi's early photos and attached pictures, and I asked you, is this really the person on the promotional map? ] 】
Many people are curious and click on the picture, and they see that the photo has heavy makeup, red lips, and beauty, but it is exaggerated and cannot see the slightest connotation.
Compared with the pair of eyes on the promotional picture that people don't dare to look at directly after looking at it, the shape is similar, but the gods in it are very different.
[This, the temperament has changed too much! ] 】
[If you can achieve this effect in the photo when filming, it's not that you can't look forward to it! ] 】
[I used to be a black fan of Jiang Lingxi, but after surviving, I am now a passer-by fan, and I have watched the promotional video, I decided to believe Director Wei, with Director Wei's character, I will definitely not pick on actors. Since Jiang Lingxi has been selected, there must be something outstanding. 】
The strong sense of contrast has caused a new wave of strong comments.
Although there are still some doubts about the actors' acting skills, there are not so many objections at the beginning.
That's just the effect of a promotional photo.
More than an hour passed before someone realized it.
[Why is there only a promotional photo of the heroine? ] 】
[Yes, what about the male protagonist, what about the two women, the three women, the two men, and the three men? ] 】
[There is another question, Empress Yuan Zhao did not have an imperial husband in her life, so which role will the male protagonist be? ] 】
[Based on my experience of reading so many empress fandoms, blindly guess that the male protagonist is Prime Minister Shen Cheng. 】
[Haha, upstairs with me, Your Majesty's Shen Qing must be the best. If it's another role, I won't accept it! 】
[According to Director Wei's consistent habit, it seems that he wants to send a promotional photo a day, today is the female protagonist's, and tomorrow it should be the male protagonist's promotional photo. 】
[I'll have to wait a day, let's set special attention first.] 】
[Does no one blindly guess who plays the male lead? ] 】
[I guessed, but I felt that no one could play Shen Moqing, and I look forward to a surprise from Director Wei. 】
[Looking forward to +1!] 】
……
*
The incense in the big incense burner has quietly burned out.
The opening ceremony of "Empress Yuanzhao" continued Wei Xiao's low-key style, and he didn't invite any large and small media to come to take pictures, interviews and publicity.
Jiang Lingxi looked at the horse that was led by the staff.
This first scene is a big scene, the royal school martial arts competition.
Originally, it was just a competition in which a group of princes came to chase the rankings to win their father's approval, but Emperor Yuan Zhao, who was still the princess of the country, quietly reported his name, and on the day of the competition, a fiery red riding suit appeared on her red-blooded horse on the school martial arts field, and beat the brothers without saving face at all.
The founding emperor of Dayin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had another headache, and he had no choice but to give her the first prize.
For big scenes, there are many actors needed.
In addition to several actors who played the emperor and the prince, the extras wearing the clothes of the palace maids and guards were even more blockbuster.
The other actors who participated in the opening ceremony but did not have a role in the first scene also did not leave, and sat on the edge of the filming venue in twos and threes.
Jiang Lingxi walked to the horse she was going to ride later, and she could feel several gazes behind her that fell behind her.
The first scene pays attention to a smooth beginning, and passing through one shot means that the next shooting will also be smooth.
Generally, directors will choose a simple scene, but whoever asked them to direct Wei Xiao was stunned to do the opposite.
As a result, the pressure was put on the heroine with the most shots.
That is, her.
There are so many people watching with scrutiny, and the pressure increases suddenly.
Even Wei Xiao frowned and ordered one after another, and the tense emotions made the crew staff dare not be lazy at all, and busy figures were everywhere.
Under the intense preparation and quiet scrutiny of this full audience, Jiang Lingxi put on his back the props and arrows to be used later, reached out to take the reins handed over, and turned over neatly in a few small exclamations on the side.
Kicking the horse's belly, the red horse raised its hooves and rushed forward.
