392. Chapter 130: Uproar X

Huairou Film and Television City, the shooting site of "Legend of the New White Snake".

Indoor, vista.

A camera is aimed at the door.

The other two cameras have been aimed at the empty space behind the round table in the room and are currently in operation.

Xu Xian was wandering back and forth in the room, when he heard footsteps suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped towards the door.

Bai Suzhen enters.

Xu Xian went up to meet her, grabbed Bai Suzhen's left arm, and said with a smile, "My lady, you are back!"

The two entered the room hand in hand and went to the table. Xu Xian helped Bai Suzhen sit down.

At this time, he seemed a little attentive, "Miss, you have worked hard!"

In Bai Suzhen's voice, there was indeed a little tiredness, and she sat down and said, "It's okay."

Xu Xian picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water and handed it over, and said, "I'm tired!"

Bai Suzhen finally realized that something was wrong, and said: "No!" Looking at Xu Xian, she smiled and said, "What's wrong with you today? You're so polite! Did you cause trouble again?"

Xu Xian curled his lips, a little embarrassed, but aggrieved, but he couldn't help but smiled and dropped his book bag, "I am cautious in doing things, and follow principles in everything, how can I get into trouble!"

Bai Suzhen also smiled, showing the indescribable intimacy and tacit understanding between the young couple, and said: "Then why are you so courteous to me?"

Xu Xiandao: "Of course it's because the lady has made great contributions to the local people and won the praise of the villagers! I'm happy for you!"

Bai Suzhen smiled: "Then, what did they say?"

Xu Xian was a little proud of himself, but also a little childishly naughty, shaking his head and saying: "They said, you look good!"

Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, then glanced at him, a little shy and helpless, and said: "What are you talking about!"

Xu Xian stood up, walked around behind Bai Suzhen, and said at the same time: "They also said that the lady is not only beautiful, but also virtuous, capable, and kind-hearted. She can cure diseases and eliminate disasters for the villagers! The root of the disaster. It is simply a living Bodhisattva!"

Bai Suzhen smiled, shook her head, and waved her hands.

Xu Xian continued: "Still talking about me..."

Bai Suzhen asked: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Xiandao: "If you say I'm lucky, maybe the lady owes me love in one lifetime, and she will marry me in this lifetime."

Bai Suzhen was slightly taken aback, then smiled thoughtfully.

…………

This scene is very long. It is about the conversation between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian after she forced the Maoshan Taoist Wang Daoling to retreat and cured the local people. It should be said that this is the relationship between their young husband and wife. A story that is becoming more and more harmonious, and at the same time, of course, it is also a further shaping of the gentleness and extraordinary means of the white lady.

This scene has been passed through beforehand, and Li Qian feels that the effect is good.

Bai Yujing's understanding and grasp of Bai Suzhen's role is becoming more and more proficient and nuanced. Many small expressions, small smiles, and small movements are not only charming, but also appear generous and unaffected. It perfectly fits Li Qian's definition of Bai Suzhen as a character.

As for Zhu Qiang, after more than two days of filming interruptions, and after in-depth touches, he also began to gradually identify the role of Xu Xian—the male version of Xu Xian, and the reverse version of Xu Xian, of course there must be differences.

If it’s a reverse play, because the actress is playing the role, of course, the cowardly side of this character is easier to come out. In many plots, the role’s positioning is clearer, because the actress is reversed, and it’s not because of cowardice It made the audience hate the character. But if you switch to an actor to play it, you can't be so cowardly.

Therefore, Li Qian has fully considered Xu Xian's repositioning from the very beginning of writing the script. After confirming that Zhu Qiang will play this role, he patiently talked with him many times about this role.

To put it simply, the male version of Xu Xian, bookish, and the natural and honest atmosphere must overcome the feeling of cowardice-for example, the female version of Xu Xian can be Xiaoshou, but the male version of Xu Xian But it's just relatively simple and honest.

Zhu Qiang was born more handsome. To a certain extent, he looked like a man and a woman, but men and women are different after all. Especially, Zhu Qiang's "eye tricks" are quite good, and Li Qian was not willing to waste it. And actors with beautiful and agile eyes are usually not easy to perform that simple and honest feeling.

Therefore, the way Li Qian found for him is: to perform that kind of pure feeling!

The so-called simple feeling is that in front of familiar people and things, you can be happy and appear quite active, but when faced with slightly more complicated and unfamiliar things, you will be a little ignorant, slow to respond, and even don’t know what to do at all. To do——to replace understanding, it is roughly equivalent to a technical nerd in the 21st century!

Such a character is a little bookish, very smart, and very sharp, but in fact he is somewhat introverted. Once he leaves the familiar people and the familiar world category, he will feel a little timid and a little stupid.

At first, Zhu Qiang couldn't grasp this feeling, the scene with Bai Suzhen seemed a bit stupid, and the scene with the extras seemed a bit too jumpy, so Li Qian directly drove him back to the hotel and asked him to start again. Try to figure out the characters.

But this time, in the rehearsal beforehand, Zhu Qiang did quite well, even quite brilliantly. Therefore, after watching their first rehearsal, Li Qian made a decisive decision at that time to shoot on the actual camera for the second time. .

Now it seems that the effect is quite good!

In the monitor, a young couple is talking to each other, they are very tender and affectionate. Behind the monitor, Li Qian is sitting on the director's chair, holding his chin with one hand, watching, and constantly nodding slightly, his face showing Satisfied look.

And behind Li Qian, Sun Yuting was beaming with delight. If it wasn't for the filming, she would have already couldn't help applauding.

As soon as she arrived on the set yesterday, she, a so-called "drama manager" who is very free, kept poking behind Li Qian to observe how he was filming. At that time, she had already seen Bai Yujing's acting skills—or Said, in fact, the composition of the performance is not particularly sufficient, the key is that she stands there, elegant and subtle, dressed in ancient costumes, smiling, naturally already has a gentle and virtuous look, plus her The indescribable ethereal spirit on her body makes Bai Suzhen, the white lady she plays, as if she is really in front of her eyes!

So, after the filming was over at night, when Li Qian deliberately bought a few cans of beer and some side dishes, and brought some of his classmates from Suncheon Film Academy together for a gathering, Sun Yuting said bluntly to Zhu Qiang: "You There must be a lot of pressure, because the White Snake is really great! To play against her, you must show 200% of your strength!"

As a result, today's Zhu Qiang really showed 200% of his strength!

In yesterday's filming, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing acted opposite each other. The actor named Zhong Ling who played Xiaoqing played Xiaoqing vividly. Today, in the scene between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, Bai Yujing vividly showed the gentle and virtuous side of Bai Suzhen, but Zhu Qiang insisted on accepting it, and made Xu Xian's smart and bookish in front of Bai Suzhen The feeling, the interpretation is delicious!

After watching the plays of these three actors, although Sun Yuting would not be able to make her stand out, as far as the TV dramas she has watched, this level of performance is definitely already top-notch!

In particular, Zhu Qiang was actually able to play along with Bai Yujing without any weakness!

…………

In front of the camera, the young couple smiled and said, enjoying the painting.

This painting is exactly the small portrait that Xu Xian drew for Bai Suzhen when she missed her.

Xu Xian shook his head and praised fiercely, while Bai Suzhen was both happy and ashamed, smiling all over her face.

Because of this episode, Li Qian was going to insert a song, so he felt that the length was almost enough, so he decisively shouted: "Crack! It's over!"

There was such a commotion on the extremely quiet set in an instant.

The camera stopped, and the first action of all the staff members was to raise their hands to wipe their sweat.

Xue Changlong and Song Yupin, the two directors of the show, had been waiting outside the door for a long time. As soon as they heard "Ka!" from inside, they immediately ran in with two electric fans and dragged long wires, and put them in the male and female respectively. In front of the protagonist, the electric fan was turned on, and Bai Yujing and Zhu Qiang both breathed a sigh of relief, blowing fiercely at the electric fan.

To be honest, the weather in Shuntian Mansion at the end of August is already a little cold in the morning and evening, but during the day, especially at noon, the temperature is still high, not to mention that everyone is wearing short sleeves and shorts, only But actors must be dressed in ancient costumes, covering their entire body tightly?

For such a long shot, the two of them can survive without any sweat on their foreheads, which is considered pretty good.

After shouting "click", Li Qian also got up and walked over. Sun Yuting, like a little follower, of course followed behind him step by step.

While blowing the fan, Zhu Qiang and Bai Yujing raised their heads slightly, asking the makeup artist to touch up their makeup a little bit, and at the same time, they had to talk to Li Qian—this time it was okay, what Li Qian said was all praise.

After encouraging the two actors, Li Qian clapped his hands, and when the scene became quieter, he said: "Everyone pay attention, let's try to go through the next scene. After that, the crew rests for 20 minutes. eat watermelon!"

Many staff members at the scene agreed when they heard the words.

Filming in such weather, taking a break every two or three hours to eat a watermelon is really a great enjoyment-although for the crew, it is just sending someone to drive to the HR area next to it. It's not worth a lot of money, but with just a dozen or twenty watermelons every day, the atmosphere of the crew has been quite good since the filming started.

This deal is very cost-effective.

Leaving time for the two actors to brew their emotions, Li Qian walked back behind the monitor, opened the water glass, took a couple of sips of cold water, and couldn't help but switch back to the scene just now, three monitors, one angle at a time , thinking about the direction of editing at that time in his heart, he turned his head and saw Sun Yuting, he smiled, "You are a drama manager, big sister, why are you always with me? Lao Han didn't assign you any work?"

Sun Yuting took it for granted, and said, "Sent! But I assigned the work to Song Yupin, Xue Changlong, and Lu Bin!" Then she bent down and bumped into Li Qian's shoulder, "I said, Lao Li, shall I be your director's assistant? Isn't Miss Juanzi in charge of finances? Besides, she is an executive producer, so she can't help you at all, and she doesn't understand film and television, but You know, I understand! Okay? Let me be your assistant!"

Li Qian thought for a while, grabbed his chin, nodded after a while, and said seriously: "Alright!"

Sun Yuting was about to cheer when she heard the words, but Li Qian immediately handed over his glass, "Assistant Sun, get me a glass of water! It's cold and free, I don't want purified water, mineral water, etc. !"

Sun Yuting was stunned for a moment, but soon obediently got the cup, looking like a dog's leg, "Zunzhi! Hold on to you!"

…………

Most of the indoor scenes of "Legend of the New White Snake" were filmed in Huairou Film and Television City. It is estimated that the entire crew will spend more than two months just staying here for filming.

From the end of August to around the first ten days of November.

After the filming in Huairou Film and Television City, the crew will move to Zhejiang. First, they will go to the West Lake in Hangzhou to take some outdoor scenes. In addition, they will go to a film and television city in Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang to continue shooting some street scenes and some street scenes. action scenes.

And then, most of the crew can leave, only a small number of related actors are left, they have to follow the crew to Chengdu and other places, and then go to shoot some exterior scenes, even if the filming stage of the whole film is completely over .

In fact, before the crew officially started filming, Jin Han had already taken the camera crew to the Dasong Film and Television City in Kaifeng Prefecture. The atmosphere is full.

The crew officially started filming at the end of August. At the beginning, there were some stumbles. The actors and characters failed to fully meet the director's expectations, so it was natural to continue to run in, while filming, while looking for feelings. When the time entered September, the entire crew gradually completed the run-in, The rhythm of shooting gradually began to be found.

Moreover, with the addition of more and more supporting actors from all walks of life, the entire crew has grown a lot and is also a lot more cheerful.

Zhou Yuhai's image of a bald-headed monk but white beard and white eyebrows, and his cunning and wise feeling when his eyes are slightly narrowed, amazed all the freshmen from Shuntian Film Academy.

And Hua Runsheng and Chen Xinfang, who are old actors in the drama, played Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong's couple in and out of the play. The bickering between the couple, as well as the teasing between each other during filming, also made the atmosphere of the entire crew never tight. tense up.

In a word, with the deepening of filming, the activities of the entire crew seem to be more and more relaxed.

You know, it takes three and a half to four months to shoot this movie. So many people have to stay together and work all day for such a long period of time. If the atmosphere of the crew is not good, this job will be very difficult. well done.

And obviously, once again, Li Qian showed his sophistication as a novice—Sun Yuting didn't feel it at first, but as the day after day of filming passed, she, the director's assistant, became more and more immersed in it, until she suddenly woke up Only then did I realize that Li Qian had completely mobilized this rather large production crew without making a sound.

The atmosphere of the crew is relaxed, the staff and actors are in a good mood, and the progress of filming is naturally fast, and it is much faster than expected!

So, before you know it, time flies by.

…………

As early as August 29th, which is the last Tuesday in August, Wuxingwusu's first album "Rebirth from the Ashes" after the reorganization was officially released.

This album came a little out of the blue.

Because until the release of the album, there was almost no publicity on Huage Records.

But thinking about it carefully, people quickly understood what Hua Ge's idea was - the original Wuxingwusu was almost disbanded, and with Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan signing Minghu Culture, they formed a new one. The girl group Rose Power, the top and bottom of the domestic music scene, whether it is musicians, music critics, or fans, actually regard the new Rose Power group as a continuation of the original Five Elements and My Elements group. After all, there are five Personally, Rose Power has three of them, and the producer behind them is Li Qian!

On the contrary, it is the newly formed Wuxingwusu group. Although they still occupy this title and Zhou Pingping is still in it as the captain, but among many fans who pay more attention to the entertainment and music circles, they are no longer the same as everyone used to. I like the five elements and my elements.

The time has entered the end of August, and the new album of Rose Power will be released soon. Minghu Culture attaches great importance to this album. Of course, all kinds of promotion in advance are full of power, so the album "super-star" Before it was released, it has already aroused the serious expectations of many fans.

In fact, this is tantamount to Minghu Culture's efforts to push Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, and Sun Ruoxuan, the three former members of the Five Elements Wusu Group, to the foreground and be fired.

The new albums of the three of them will be released soon. If you think about it, you will know that many fans will subconsciously think of the five elements of the past! And fans have feelings, for the merchants, it is of course a good time to sell their feelings!

Therefore, "Rebirth from the Ashes" was released before "Super-star"!

Moreover, six days after its release, the first week's sales results came out, and the album's performance was actually pretty good—it airborne to the top of the Dongguan Bookstore's album sales chart in the first week!

During the week at the end of August and the beginning of September, although the students have already started school one after another, as the students who hadn’t seen each other for two months gathered together again to discuss interesting summer vacations with each other, it was inevitable that they would mention themselves Books, movies, TV series, songs I have heard, places I have visited, etc., so for cultural products, this is a period of time for word-of-mouth accumulation and fermentation, and it takes a lot of time and needs to go to Special places can only go to the movies, go hiking and so on. Records and albums are recommended by others. Students can buy a set and listen to it at home after school. Therefore, the film market has dropped from the summer peak. It is inevitable, but the record market will set off another wave of best-selling booms.

In this week's Dongguan Bookstore sales rankings, this situation is particularly evident.

For example, Zheng Guofeng's "Winter Rose" had a big rebound in sales during the eleventh week of its release, and surprisingly returned to a high of more than 130 million copies. He Runqing's "The Price of Love", which was listed in the middle, once again proudly won 23,581 sales in a single week in the eighth week after its listing, and the rebound rate was even greater than that of "Winter Rose"!

And this week, of course, the most popular one is "Rebirth from the Ashes".

The fifth album of the Wuxingwusu group, in the first week of its release, sold 29,054 copies!

If there is no abnormal situation, according to the normal market rules, they are likely to break 30,000 in a single week next week!

Although it is not quite as good as the two albums "Sister and Sister Stand Up" and "The Boy Opposite to Look Over" at the peak of Wuxingwusu, it shows that although there are fans who will still buy their albums, there are still quite a few of them. Fans are obviously more interested in the rose power that has inherited the true "mantle" of the original Wuxingwusu, which has affected the sales of the new Wuxingwusu's album. As far as the five elements are concerned, it is already a performance that does not shame face!

However, when the Dongguan Bookstore sales rankings came out on September 11, it turned out that the second week of the album "Rebirth from the Ashes" was still disappointing——

After exhausting the nostalgia of the fans in the first week of its release, the sales of this album dropped sharply in the second week, from more than 29,000 copies in the previous week, to only 17,051 copies left!

The drop was more than forty percent!

Then, a very miraculous scene appeared.

Because on September 12th, Tuesday, that is, tomorrow, Rose Power's first album "super-star" will be officially released, and the market is extremely looking forward to this album, so in the ten days before this , most of the record companies and singers have an attitude of avoiding them, and therefore, apart from "Rebirth from the Ashes" by the Wuxingwusu group, there are no strong singers and strong albums, so , with the sudden plunge of "Rebirth", "The Price of Love", which has come to the market for the ninth week, although compared with last week's rebound, this week is also a sharp drop, but it is still at 17,558 Sales, back to the top!

He Runqing, and her "The Price of Love" won the sixth weekly sales champion after its launch!

Although it was not six consecutive weeks, it was released for nine weeks. During this period, it was hit by new albums many times, and even lost the single-week championship three times, but six weeks is six weeks! And it's six weeks during the summer vacation!

And Liao Liao's "Women's Flower" won the championship all the way over Zhou Mo's "Witch's Tears" for six consecutive weeks, but it was only for six weeks. In terms of momentum, He Runqing's "The Price of Love" is not inferior to "The Price of Love". How much does a woman spend? In terms of toughness, it even surpasses it!

From the release of "Women's Flower" on May 15th to September 10th, there were only seventeen weeks in total. Liao Liao ruled the first six weeks, and He Runqing ruled the next six weeks.

All the other labels, all the artists big and small, and countless new records, can only share five of those seventeen weeks!

Having reached this level, it can be said that the two queens have joined forces to dominate the record market for the entire summer!

And next, on Tuesday, September 12th, the new album of Minghu Culture's another highly anticipated and feared super group Rose Power will be released again!

If their new album, which is called "super-star" in the publicity, can be as strong as it was in the original Wuxingwusu period, then it is foreseeable that in the next five to eight weeks, there will be another It will belong to Minghu Culture!

However, at this time, on the eve of the upcoming release of "super-star", when Wuxingwusu was promoting the album on the last variety show, Zhou Pingping, the captain of the Wuxingwusu group, was asked by the host how to evaluate the power of roses During this combination, a shocking conclusion was suddenly thrown out!

The atmosphere was very good. After all, the singer came to the show to promote the album, so there was no money, it was free. For the show, a top group like Wu Xing Wu Su, who is the latest topical character, can increase the ratings in itself Therefore, during the recording of the program, everyone followed the conversation plan formulated in advance, and the chat was very smooth.

However, when the host asked about the connection with the sisters in Wuxingwusu in the past, and the fact that the rose power combination of Minghu culture is generally believed by the outside world to be the real Wuxingwusu, what do the members of the new Wuxingwusu think? At that time, as the captain, Zhou Pingping replied at that time: "The five elements are my principles, the five elements are my principles, and the power of roses is the power of roses. We are not a group, and we are not even the same thing at all!"

Then, next, as the conversation progressed, she said—

"We have a good personal relationship, but I personally don't comment on their singing skills."

"Li Qian, well, Qian Shao was indeed a very talented person at first, it's true, but now... I heard that he is going to make a TV series? I think his choice itself just shows that he is a smart person. people!"

"No, I didn't say he was out of talent. What I mean is that he knows how to do the right thing at the right time. For example, he is already the highest in the music world. Everyone recognizes his talent. Moreover, he has never I haven't produced any unsatisfactory works, so I switched to filming TV dramas at this time, well, I think it's pretty good!"

"Oh, we were too busy before, so we didn't pay attention to them. It turns out that their new album is called "super-star". The name they chose is very foreign! In fact, I have always disliked the feeling of adding English in Chinese and Chinese characters, and Chinese songs with English names... Maybe they want to go international and sing English songs Anyway... Anyway, I personally don't like it very much!"

"Sales... No way! How can we fight, we are not the same thing at all! Our five elements and my nature... Thank you all, thank the fans for their love, the past results have always been pretty good, and Rose Power is a New combination."

"Predicting their results... It's really hard to predict! I heard that Qian Shao has gone to film a TV series, so even Qian Shao himself chose to retire bravely, so you can imagine..."

"Is Jiang Lang's talent exhausted... It's not easy to talk nonsense, and I haven't said that. However, just listen to their new album and you will know how good they are! It is said that it was created by Qian Shao! But , I firmly believe that our Wuxingwusu must be the best female singing group in China. Of course, we welcome Rose Power to challenge!"

…………

On Tuesday, September 12th, "super-star" was officially launched nationwide.

On September 13, what Zhou Pingping said at the recording site of the program was spread in fragments, which aroused the amazement of insiders in the industry!

On September 15th, Friday night, with the official broadcast of the uncut version of this episode, the domestic pop music scene, and even the entire domestic entertainment circle, instantly caused an uproar!

***

After finishing this chapter, I saw that it was already past twelve o'clock, but the amount was still quite sufficient!

By the way, I can't help it, and I have to complain again: Is it really necessary to set the word "uproar" as a prohibited word?
