Chapter 458 Liu Shishi: Sorry, My Hand Slipped
Dali, the crew of "Legend of Dance and Music"
Liu Shishi wore a black futou, a round-necked robe, a jade belt around her waist, a little red mark on her forehead, a jade face and cherry lips, looking handsome and unrestrained.
She played opposite the "villain" Hai Donglai in the play.
This role is very colorful. The leader of the inner guards of the Tang Dynasty, wearing a red shirt, a blood-red cloak, and a hood to hide part of his face, holding a red umbrella, with sharp eyes. The actor is Liu Yijun who came from "The Pretender".
The original "Legend of Dance and Music" has no problem with the plot, strict logic, various reversals, and very high quality.
But there are two fatal flaws. One is the actors. It's not that the actors performed poorly, but sometimes, some roles do need some better actors. This is not just a problem of strength, but also a problem of image.
Take the image of Hai Donglai as an example. The style in the play is very high.
Because he had a strange disease and could not be exposed to direct sunlight, he wrapped himself tightly every time he went out, holding a red umbrella, and the taste of the sickly and elegant villain boss came out at once.
At the same time, because he killed countless people and loved to wear red, the play was called "the blood sea is surging, and the Red Emperor is coming from the east".
And he has excellent character. Whether it is friends or enemies, he has given high praise. He has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty. In the end, his death can be regarded as a regret in the play.
It can be said that the ability, personality, and style of this character are among the best in the play.
As a result, the actor found an actor with a rough appearance and no memorable points to play the role. Coupled with the bad costumes and props, a character who can impact the classic role was turned into a "dragon".
Let's put it this way. Without watching the play, anyone who sees the original Hai Donglai will not give a high evaluation.
But now Liu Yijun has been invited, it's different.
This actor is not only a powerful actor, but also has a very outstanding image. He is known as the "uncle circle heaven dish", and the most important thing is that his eyes are full of stories.
He is simply too suitable for a role like Hai Donglai, which is so cool. With the upgraded look, the audience can feel the power of the role at first glance, and think that this role is particularly awesome.
So sometimes, it is no wonder that some ordinary-looking powerful actors cannot stand out. The image is indeed an important factor that restricts actors.
Don't be afraid of being ugly, just be afraid of having no characteristics!
If you are ugly and leave a deep impression on the audience, you can still play a villain or an important role, but if you look ordinary and your professional level is not particularly outstanding, so that the audience can't remember you, then you can only play an ordinary supporting role.
To put it more cruelly, not only the audience can't remember you, but the producers and assistant directors are likely to ignore you when casting. Not to mention the role, the chance of joining the group is smaller than others.
The original version of "Legend of Dance and Music" had a small investment and could not afford to hire any actors, so naturally they were all made up, and it was okay.
Blue Whale is different. It has a lot of funds, a loud signboard, and a wide network of contacts. It is also the two top new dramas of Liu Shishi and Zhang Ruoyun, so it has recruited a lot of actual and second- and third-tier stars, and the lineup is much better than the original.
Similarly, this shortcoming has been made up, and another fatal shortcoming will not be let go.
That is, the costumes and props are extremely sloppy and shabby!
It's still a joke because of poverty. There was a mysterious organization in the entertainment industry called [Rongguang Sect], which is a team composed of Yu Rongguang, Wang Juan and others.
Yu Rongguang is the director + leader, Wang Juan is the screenwriter + deputy leader, and there is a producer Jiang Xiaorong, who is considered an honorary leader + elder. In addition, there is the royal female lead, Qiu Cixuan, who is also known as the flower of the sect + the saint.
There are several characteristics of the works produced by Rongguang Sect.
The title of the play is lame, the costumes and props are terrible, and it has a strong atmosphere of a grass-roots team, but the plot is rigorous and exciting, the rhythm is extremely fast, and the actors' acting skills are excellent. As long as you ignore those shortcomings, you will shout awesome.
"Legend of Dance and Music" is the representative work of Rongguang Sect, and naturally it also has these characteristics.
It is no exaggeration to say that the costumes and props of the original "Legend of Dance and Music" have reached the point of persuading the audience to leave. Many viewers think it is a thunder drama when they see those strange costumes and props, and they don't want to watch it.
There was no money for costumes, makeup, props and actors, not to mention publicity, which was almost zero.
Fortunately, the drama was broadcast on CCTV and had a large base, so it did not fail completely.
The subsequent word-of-mouth fermentation and countless tap water helped to recommend it, which opened up the situation. Even so, due to the obvious shortcomings, the drama was not particularly popular.
Now the Blue Whale version has tried to make up for these shortcomings as much as possible, the cast has been improved, and the costumes and props are the forte of Blue Whale.
In the industry, in terms of the professionalism of costumes and props, Blue Whale dare not say that it is the best, but it is definitely in the first echelon.
Even because "Legend of Dance and Music" also takes place in the Tang Dynasty, many costumes, makeup, props and various materials can be directly used with "Legend of Wu Mei Niang", which was also produced by Blue Whale.
The "Legend of Wu Mei Niang" in this time and space is not all about attracting people with low-cut clothes in Fan Xiaopang's previous life. Blue Whale has participated in the script and even the production.
To put it bluntly, Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang's Ice Ocean Company paid and outsourced the project to Blue Whale.
Blue Whale tailored a drama with Fan Xiaopang as the core, and then Fan Xiaopang cooperated with Blue Whale in publicity and promotion. When the drama was finally sold, Blue Whale took a portion, and the rest was shared by Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang.
From this perspective, it seems that Blue Whale lost money and was completely working for Fan Xiaopang.
But in fact, Fan Xiaopang's fame and gimmicks are the most critical bargaining chips for selling the drama. If someone else plays the role, no matter how well Blue Whale shoots, the price will not be as high as Fan Xiaopang's.
One side becomes famous, the other side contributes, and Boss Wei pays the money later, and is also the biggest beneficiary.
Wei Yang is willing to support Fan Xiaopang and others to rise to the top, but it does not mean that he will sacrifice his own interests. He has always been particular about win-win situations, and he has always won the most.
Look, a considerable part of the costumes and props of the previous "Legend of Wu Mei Niang" can be used for "Legend of Dance and Music" after a few changes, one thing for two uses, and win again.
With the full support of Wei Yang and Blue Whale, "Legend of Dance and Music" has been fully equipped, and it has been designated as a key project for next year while it is still being filmed.
Liu Shishi herself is still quite satisfied with the filming.
There are fighting scenes in the drama that she is good at, and more importantly, the heroine in this drama has a super IQ, and her personality is more lively and cunning than her previous roles, which makes it quite fresh to play.
After finishing this scene with Liu Yijun, today's filming also ended here.
Liu Shishi said hello to everyone and returned to the hotel with her assistant.
Compared with the past, the biggest change of Liu Shishi in the crew this time is that she is more aloof.
Although she is not an extrovert, she does not reject people from a thousand miles away. On the contrary, she is very happy to chat and interact with colleagues in the crew and make some friends.
Therefore, Liu Shishi has always had a good reputation in the crew, and some of her good friends are known in this way.
However, after experiencing the backstab of molasses, Liu Shishi, who has not recovered yet, still has a distrustful attitude towards the outside world.
So this time when Liu Shishi came to Dali to film, except for a few acquaintances, the rest of the time was official business, with very little social interaction, and even if someone came to hug her thighs, the reaction was mediocre.
There are many people in the entertainment industry, and combined with the news not long ago, it is estimated that Liu Shishi is in a bad mood now, so no one dares to approach easily.
Especially the male lead Zhang Ruoyun, except for filming, he stays far away in private, and dares not say anything except greeting when meeting.
There is no way, he is afraid!
Because Zhang Ruoyun is now very popular, he is the representative of handsome young men, and because of his good luck, he has worked with many top female stars in succession, so many people tease him, and there are some words that make him tremble.
In addition, Liu Shishi is in a bad mood now, and she is single on the surface, which looks like a low period.
This seems to be the most suitable time to take advantage of the situation. He foolishly moved forward, and who knows what will be said.
If Boss Wei misunderstands something, he will be punished to death.
Long before Zhang Ruoyun joined the group, his agent and immediate boss Yang Tianzhen personally warned him twice that he must be cautious and must not ruin his bright future. The water is very deep, and the farther away the better.
Later, he was really worried, and Yang Tianzhen even sent an assistant to keep an eye on Zhang Ruoyun to prevent him from making a fool.
Zhang Ruoyun knows what is good and what is bad. Not only is he obedient and knows his limits, but also because he saw a fool being dealt with with his own eyes.
There are smart people and stupid people in this world.
There are always some self-important idiots who don't know the depth of the situation. They think that this is a rare opportunity and they can come to steal the house and steal the corner of Boss Wei.
Little did they know that Wei Yang has always been cautious and usually arranges spies, not to mention this special moment.
There are four people in the team that joined Liu Shishi this time. At least two of them were completely bribed by him, and the rest are more inclined to support the two of them getting back together.
Let's put it this way, it is impossible for black fans and anti-Wei factions to stay around Liu Shishi. Once such signs are found, they will be reported by spies, and then Boss Wei will find fault and drive them away.
He will not easily let the spies under his control brainwash Liu Shishi, but he will never let anyone put eye drops on him.
After all, without the instigation of his bestie and the people around him, the conflicting couples and couples in this world can be half stable and harmonious...
In addition to the team members, Wei Yang usually arranges bodyguards to follow when going out to film. This time, he also sent more people and even greeted the crew members.
It can be said that the crew of "Legend of Dance and Music" and Liu Shishi are all undercover agents of Wei Yang.
Someone wants to poach someone?
Wei Yang received two or three reports after he came to get close to her for the second time, and then that night, that person was replaced.
Immediately before leaving the crew, he had a conflict with an "ordinary traveler" in the same hotel and had a fight.
Then the incident was exposed by "informed sources". It was rumored on the Internet that a certain actor was suspected of being a big shot and fighting. Not only did it successfully become a hot search, but also various media began to dig up the previous black material.
Not long after, two actors who claimed to be his ex-girlfriends publicly broke the news, criticizing him for being a gigolo, cheating, and having aborted him, etc.
In short, the actor's reputation and image collapsed after this, and his situation was extremely embarrassing. He also repeatedly hit a wall in the industry and once fell to the point of changing his career.
On the contrary, the two ex-girlfriends may have spoken out for justice, and later they got some film and television resources. The one who broke the news of abortion may be too pitiful, and later signed a contract with Coral Entertainment, which can be said to be a turn of events.
Of course, this is what happened later.
At this time, Zhang Ruoyun only saw that the person's fight was on the hot search, and his past black material was dug up, causing the whole network to rage.
But this is enough!
At this time, Zhang Ruoyun knew what it meant to turn the hand to cloud and the hand to rain, and understood what it meant to be an entertainment boss.
The initial high-spirited attitude after becoming famous after being promoted to the top echelons has now dissipated in an instant, and she is now filming honestly.
Although that person's methods are ruthless, he is one of our own. Thinking about it from another perspective, if there is no conflict with him, having such a boss actually feels quite safe.
After all, Boss Wei is famous for protecting his shortcomings.
Moreover, Zhang Ruoyun also believes that Wei Yang's character is not that fierce, and this time he has hit his bottom line.
He is also a man, and he will compare his feelings with others when encountering such a thing. If it were him, he might be more ruthless.
How Zhang Ruoyun cleared Wei Yang's name is not mentioned, but after this incident, he was far away from Liu Shishi. Others were also shocked. Even the director temporarily promoted a female deputy to talk to Liu Shishi on a regular basis. Let him follow every play.
Liu Shishi naturally noticed something was wrong, but adopted a default attitude.
This is also good. She was a little uncomfortable with appearing in front of people because of so many hot searches some time ago. Now it makes her feel a lot calmer.
Back at the hotel, Liu Shishi first made a video call to Wei Yang, who had already flown to Thailand for filming.
Soon, a "mature man" with dark skin and a beard appeared in the video wearing a Southeast Asian floral shirt.
"You haven't stopped working yet?"
"No, the time difference here is one hour slower than in China, but it is faster. There are no night scenes today. I will go back to the hotel after these two scenes."
"Then get busy. I'm going to have dinner and watch the live broadcast later."
"What live broadcast are you watching?"
"Golden Eagle Award, let's take a look at the style of the new Golden Eagle Goddess. I heard that the number of votes was higher than mine."
Wei Yang: "..."
"Oops, the director is calling for filming, so I'm done."
Liu Shishi curled her lips and asked her assistant to eat at a restaurant near the hotel. This was a treasure restaurant she had just found. It tasted very good. She basically ate here whenever she was free these days.
I asked for a small booth and while waiting for the food, Liu Shishi browsed Weibo online, and then saw the behind-the-scenes footage of the Golden Eagle Goddess.
This is to build momentum for the Golden Eagle Awards, show some behind-the-scenes, attract fans' attention, and then drive traffic to the live broadcast.
Liu Shishi clicked in to watch out of curiosity. The video inside mainly introduced how wonderful the design of Zhao Liying's Golden Eagle Goddess jersey was, how complex the production process was, and how outstanding the finished product was.
Watching some of the rehearsal videos in the video, Liu Shishi was a little jealous.
Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she has to say that Zhao Liying's Golden Eagle Goddess jersey is indeed beautiful, even better than hers before.
"That dog man must have done it!"
Liu Shishi's original costume design was done by someone sent by Wei Yang, and Zhao Liying would naturally think so this time.
However, she was wrong this time.
It was precisely because it was later revealed that Wei Yang had intervened last time that everyone knew why Liu Shishi actually got rid of the rustic and weird style of the Golden Eagle Goddess in the past. They praised it greatly and even hoped that Hunan TV Station would continue to do this in the future.
This greatly stimulated Hunan Province and Taiwan, so this time, Wei Yang was not allowed to control what he said. He spent a lot of money and effort to customize Zhao Liying's jersey, and also published a pilot episode.
I just want to tell everyone that when it comes to taking it seriously, its clothing and styling are still a model in the industry.
But soon, Liu Shishi saw a detail, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
The pilot film mainly focuses on the Golden Eagle Goddess. In addition to showing off her jersey, she also keeps blowing rainbow farts on Zhao Liying. This is a normal operation.
But one thing that is more interesting is that the behind-the-scenes reveal that Zhao Liying was wearing a pair of 25cm high heels when she appeared as the Golden Eagle Goddess. She had difficulty moving and sometimes even had to be helped by the staff.
In fact, the original intention of the pilot film was to exaggerate Zhao Liying, thinking that in order to present the best stage effect, she worked hard to overcome difficulties, tried her best, and was very hardworking and dedicated.
But Liu Shishi ignored all these and only saw one word——
short!
And there is more than one person who thinks the same as Liu Shishi. After all, Zhao Liying has a lot of negative fans, and there are many ridiculing and complaining posts on Weibo.
Liu Shishi picked a Weibo post with sharper words and liked it in a large size. After 5 minutes, he canceled the like and left a comment below.
[Sorry, my hand slipped]
(Yes, I did it on purpose)
Liu Shishi put down her mobile phone contentedly, and she had recovered the last time Zhao Liying "swiped" to like.
Moreover, today is Zhao Liying's big day. Her help in making a hot search can be regarded as a kind of congratulation. I think the other party will be very happy.
Disgusting people, like who wouldn't...
