【274】First experience of filming
The crew's attractions in Wuxi mainly filmed the first episode, namely the process of Li Mochou, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Yang Guo, Lu Wushuang and others appearing one after another. Zhang Yang and Lin still don't have to participate in this period.
Jiuzhaigou is one of the attractions with the most scenes in the entire drama. Most of the scenes outside the scene, such as outside Zhongnan Mountain and Jueqing Valley, need to be filmed here.
Since the ancient tomb is still under construction, the initial scenes between Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran were not the first meeting, but the outdoor scenes of practicing, quarreling, and getting along. The two of them have studied a lot during this period, and this part of the script is also the scripts.
It's all the first time filming, so I will inevitably feel nervous, frightened, curious, and expectant. It's intertwined and feels quite complicated. Fortunately, I'm accompanying each other, and I've also had plug-ins, so I won't be too worried.
There are not many extras in this part of the filming, but there are many logistics staff. The crew directly booked a hotel, and the main staff had independent rooms. Lin Yiran and Zhang Yang each had a nanny car for rest at any time, and the conditions were pretty good.
On the staff, Zhang Yang is still Yan Xixi and Zhang Hongkang, and Lin Yiran's side. Due to the lack of Yiyang Film and Television's staff, Su Hui sent Lin Yiran's personal assistant Jiang Qing, but now he is the department head, so he naturally cannot be an assistant. Although Kan Wenxi followed the team, he served as the director of the production as the representative of Yiyang Film and Television. So he sent an intern girl to serve as an assistant. Su Hui was probably worried about the person who received Zhang Yang's salary, so he sent an assistant and Yuan Tong to take care of him.
This has added a lot of confidence to Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran who are ready to endure hardships.
When the two arrived, the crew had just arrived and had not been very popular, and they were carrying luggage in big bags. The arrival of Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran caused a certain sensation. The extras and staff came to watch, and some living people were also looking at each other secretly. Both of them were already accustomed to this and did not care about it. Anyway, they had been together for a long time and would not be so curious again in a few days.
Although the previous targeted training was a bit tiring, it was far from exhausting. With the excitement of joining the crew, both of them were in good spirits. They went back to the room and put down their things, took the script to Li Changge's room for a meeting to listen to tomorrow's opera talk.
Zhang Yang has few scenes tomorrow, only two scenes. The first scene is a person catching a rabbit in the forest, and then he found that the flowers were lush, which was just right for him to practice the "Jade Girl Heart Sutra" with Xiaolong; the second scene is when he escaped from the ancient tomb, met Hong Lingbo, and deceived her to go to the ancient tomb together.
Considering that Yang Guo was only thirteen or fourteen years old when he appeared, after discussing with Zhang Yang and others, Li Changge finally decided to enter the tomb Yang Guo, who was in front of the tomb, was played by a young actor. The final selected young actor was named Li Shaoyu, but he was not very famous, but Li Changge selected from nearly ten alternative child stars, including many popular child stars, who were famous as first-line actors, but he still rejected it.
This is quite popular and admired.
Compared with the whole drama, Xiao Yangguo's scenes are said to be light and heavy. Zhang Yang remembers that the selection of the 06th version of the previous life was completely based on popularity. In terms of results, his personal sense was not good. He was just a little brat. He was not as clever but smart, chivalrous, but cynical, stubborn and extreme in the original work.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Yangguo, the original work, was an orphan who had lost his parents early and experienced the warmth and warmth of the world. His adult personality had already begun to show signs at this time. The version of Xiao Yangguo seemed to be only working hard towards the eccentric. Even when he was unyielding and strong, he gave people the feeling that he was more like a child throwing his temper. He couldn't even talk about his appearance, let alone the spirit.
Li Changge has strict requirements for Xiao Yang Guo. It is said that when filming Lujiazhuang scenes in Wuxi, the scene he appeared was remade more than twenty times, in order to hold up the first impression Yang Guo gave to the audience when he appeared!
This requirement is very difficult and challenging even for adult actors, let alone a thirteen-year-old child? However, Li Changge can pick out Li Shaoyu from so many alternatives, so this little boy naturally has his own uniqueness. According to Li Changge's comment during WeChat chat, if Li Shaoyu does not go the wrong path, he will have the potential to become a top movie star in the future.
Zhang Yang knew the meaning of elegant words when he heard the string song. He immediately understood what Li Changge said. When he was about to get along, he asked for a little while to see if he could sign this potential stock.
Among the few young actors, Li Shaoyu is already very outstanding in terms of acting skills and talent, but he is still three points inferior to Zhang Zining. The girl's performance during the audition is eye-catching, and it is even more amazing when the filming is real. Unfortunately, Xiao Chengying has too few scenes and has already finished filming.
"The first scene tomorrow is the part where the piano sound retreats to the enemy. It's not difficult, just take a good shot. And you can play the guqin, at least there's no mistake in the fingering... Don't be nervous, it's easy."
Lin Yiran's first scene was the first time Xiaolongnu appeared in the whole drama. However, in order to keep it mysterious, she did not have a face, but only had a piano, hands, and silhouette to set off. She didn't need any acting skills, just look good.
And just so happens, looking good is the least difficult thing for her.
She is not proficient in guqin, but because Su Hui and the elderly in her family like it, she has learned the fingering for a while, and may be unfamiliar with her fingering, but when filming, she only needs to practice it for a while, and it is not difficult.
In addition to this scene, she also had a scene where she took Xiao Yang out of the ancient tomb and found Chongyang Palace on her way back and taught him how to fight with others. The plot in the original work was changed by Li Changge on the way back.
There are not many scenes on both of them, because the main content is basically the conflict between Xiao Yangguo and Quanzhen Sect, and the difficulty is not high. However, both of them are filming for the first time, so they are more nervous. Even Xiao Yangguo, Guo Jing, Huo Du and others listen carefully to the opera talks in case that the stones on the mountain can be used to attack jade.
After all these things, Li Changge had to discuss the details of the filming with several executive directors, including props and time. He seemed to be very busy, so Zhang Yang didn't have the trouble. He pulled Lin Yiran back to her room together to discuss and figure out the script.
As a result, when he returned to the room, he just sat down and before he had time to discuss, his phone rang. He now had a wide career line. When he saw that it was a strange number, he didn't dare to hang up rashly. He held the phone for a while and saw that the other party was very sincere, not like a harassing call, so he answered it.
"Hello, is Zhang Yang?" He had a calm voice, and he looked like he was in his thirties.
"It's me, are you?"
"My name is Wu Tianying. We met once in the Huashi Building. I wonder if you still have any impressions."
Zhang Yang tried hard to recall and soon remembered that when he went to Huashi Building to discuss casting with Li Changge and others at the beginning of this year, he met a middle-aged woman with a very aura in the elevator. At that time, the other party also said that he hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
"Hello, I remember."
Zhang Yang smiled and said that he still remembered the other party. Wu Tianying smiled and said, "I am currently a member of the preparation team for the Jiaxu Spring Festival Gala. I want to invite you to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. I wonder if the schedule is convenient for you?"
Zhang Yang was a little confused. Lin Yiran, who also came close to his phone and heard the conversation, also widened his eyes in surprise. At this time, the China Television Spring Festival Gala was far from being able to show up for any traffic stars. The degree to which more than a dozen stars sang a song is still a huge honor for celebrities in the entertainment industry to appear on such a stage, because those who can show up are top tycoons with both qualifications, status, popularity and time-tested top tycoons.
If Zhang Yang can appear on stage, he will undoubtedly be the youngest among entertainment stars to attend the Spring Festival Gala, no doubt.
"Uh..." Zhang Yang hesitated for a short time because he hadn't been with his parents all year this year. If the Spring Festival Gala was not at home, it seemed a bit unreasonable.
Wu Tianying smiled and said, "But I have to explain something to you first. The invitation is just to participate in the rehearsal, which does not mean that you will eventually be on the stage, and you will also need to review it... In addition, do you have new albums this year? Do you have new Chinese-style songs?"
Zhang Yang immediately understood the reason why he was invited. In addition to popularity, Chinese style should also be a very important reason.
After his thoughts were heard, Zhang Yang quickly made a decision, "Yes, I've basically finished recording... Uh, I mean the new Chinese-style song."
"If it's convenient, can you send me a message? Don't worry, only the relevant person in charge can listen, no more than four people will never leak it."
"It's OK, but... I'm filming, so there may not be much time left."
"I know, I have asked Director Gao and Director Li in advance, and they said there will definitely be time for rehearsals, and you also need a lot of preparation time for filming. It is impossible for you to stay in the crew for the next six months and not go out."
"Then I have no problem, I will ask someone to send the song to you."
"Okay, I'll notify you of rehearsal time."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang felt it was a bit unreal. He looked at Lin Yiran, Lin Yiran looked at him, then reached out to pat him on his face, "Then won't you go home during the Chinese New Year?"
"I just sing a song, I'm not asking me to stay there all day."
Lin Yiran wrinkled his nose and snorted softly. Zhang Yang suddenly reached out to hug her and lay on the bed. Lin Yiran said "ah" and said, "What are you doing?"
The mattress was very elastic. Zhang Yang felt it slammed several times and kissed her on the cheek, "Just be happy."
Lin Yiran wiped his saliva, grabbed his hands and kicked him aside, and sat up again, "I want to read the script, don't bother me."
Zhang Yang curled his lips and called Nan Xue, told her about this matter and asked her to make some preparations. Haiou has the experience of artists on stage on the Spring Festival Gala. He did not have the idea of hyping this matter. He mainly gained some experience, especially the general schedule, so as not to make any mistakes.
Hang up the phone, add Wu Tianying's WeChat, and forward the email address she sent to Nan Xue. The next thing he has to do is wait for the notification.
Of course, filming is also very important.
After discussing how to film in Lin Yiran's room for a while, Li Changge called and invited them to have dinner together. Since it was the first meal here, he didn't eat boxed lunches anymore, and the extras also followed him to the restaurant, which was just a bit of sweets before suffering.
Zhang Yang and the others were alone. In addition to Li Changge, there were also deputy directors, two executive directors, as well as major actors such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Li Mochou, and Gongsun Lu'e. At the dinner table, Li Changge specially toasted Zhang Yang and said something.
"Our purpose is to make this drama well, so let's say that in the front, you are the original author and the investor, but when filming, you only have the identity of an actor. If you have anything wrong, you will be here to match you here. However, when filming, you should say what you should say and scold what you should scold. I will not ruin everyone's efforts by taking care of you."
These words may not be for Zhang Yang to hear, because except for the two starring him and Lin Yiran, the acting skills of others have been more or less proven in other works. Although Shangguan Qiyu is also a newcomer, her role and importance are far less than Zhang Yang and the others, and the others are not without some thoughts.
Li Changge's words were not so much a warning to Zhang Yang, but rather a relief for everyone... It was a warning, and it would be even more meaningful to Shangguan Qiyu, because he was not familiar with Shangguan Qiyu and could not say these words, so he had to use Zhang Yang as a chicken to kill him.
He had already talked with Zhang Yang in advance to downplay the negative effects that might have caused by these words, but it did not mean that there was no warning to Zhang Yang... Zhang Yang could understand and naturally supported him. He smiled and made a statement that he would admit beaten and punish without complaints or complaints before he could finish the filming.
At 6:30 the next morning, Zhang Yang was woken up on time and began to watch Xiao Yangguo, Guo Jing, Qiu Chuji, Huo Du and others put on makeup. His and Lin Yiran's scenes were filmed in the afternoon. He woke up so early, one was to adapt, and the other was to be curious.
He guessed that this curiosity and freshness would soon be wiped out, but he didn't expect that the first scene in the afternoon would have worn out his curiosity and freshness.
Chapter completed!
