Chapter 271 Liu Yifei and Da Mimi's amazing acting skills
The selling point of the novel "Zhu Xian" is the love-hate entanglement between Zhang Xiaofan, Bi Yao and Lu Xueqi.
Especially the main plot of Zhang Xiaofan resurrecting Bi Yao is definitely the essence of the novel "Zhu Xian".
Yang Hao couldn't understand why Xiao Ding would delete more than 2024 words in and directly cut Bi Yao from the heroine to the supporting actress.
It's so fucking frustrating!
Before going to bed, Yang Hao cursed "Xiao Ding is an idiot" and then fell into a deep sleep.
-
The next day, the crew of "Zhu Xian" officially started filming.
Yang Hao has studied the novel "Zhu Xian" carefully.
The brutal massacre in Cao Miao Village, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu going up the mountain to become apprentices, and Zhang Xiaofan’s daily life in the sect, these are actually nothing to watch.
"Zhu Xian" starts with Zhang Xiaofan's adventure in the back mountain, followed by Tian Ling'er being kidnapped. Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi and others go down the mountain for an adventure, and Zhang Xiaofan gets to know Bi Yao. Only here does the plot start to get interesting.
The previous version of "The Legend of Chusen" was probably made to make more money, so it was a watered-down series and filmed too many meaningless plots, which made the pace very slow in the early stages.
Yang Hao naturally couldn't destroy his reputation, so when he was writing the script, he cut out all of these to make the rhythm of "Zhu Xian" more compact.
"Cut, this one passed." Assistant Director Li Guoan shouted.
"Director Yang, come and take a look at how this shot went?" There was a scene in which Yang Hao appeared just now, and the filming was done by Li Guoan.
"Okay, let me see how the filming goes." Yang Hao sat directly in front of the director's monitor, ready to play back the film he had just shot.
Tian Ling'er was kidnapped, and the Qingyun Sect went to the Blood Refining Hall together. This was the first climax of the drama "Zhu Xian" and it was of great significance.
In the words of the industry, these are the "golden three episodes". Only when the scenes in the first few episodes are well shot will the audience feel involved and continue to watch.
For an excellent TV series, if it needs to be padded, it should be done at the end, so that even if the audience notices it, they will accept it with a pinch of their nose.
Just as Yang Hao was watching the finished film, Da Mimi and Liu Yifei also came over together, stood on either side of Yang Hao, and also leaned over to watch the replay together.
When he was acting on the stage, the feeling was not obvious, but when he looked at the monitor, Yang Hao found that Da Mimi's acting skills were very good and very spiritual.
The Bi Yao played by Da Mimi has an aggressive look in her eyes, with some of the enchantment and charm of a witch, and her every frown and smile is very alluring.
In contrast, Lu Xueqi, played by Liu Yifei, has an ethereal air but too few facial expressions, and her whole person is like an ice cube. Perhaps Liu Yifei's understanding of ethereal air is probably being cold and aloof.
It’s not that this acting is bad, but when compared with Da Mimi, it feels a little bit lacking.
However, what they are filming now is the material for the TV series "Zhu Xian", which is not so demanding. Although Liu Yifei was slightly overshadowed by Da Mimi, the impact is not that big.
"Sister Mi, your acting is great!" After watching the full playback of this scene, Yang Hao couldn't help but praise Sister Mi Mi who was standing beside him.
"Thank you Director Yang for the compliment."
Hearing Yang Hao's praise, Da Mimi's face was full of smiles. She felt that the great effort she spent studying the role and figuring out the plot last night was worth it.
At the same time, Da Mimi glanced at Liu Yifei meaningfully.
"Director Yang, am I not acting well?" Liu Yifei naturally saw Da Mimi's provocative look. How could she endure this humiliation? She asked Yang Hao directly.
"Ugh!" Yang Hao felt a headache when he heard Liu Yifei's words that seemed to be full of jealousy.
Neither of these two women is easy to get along with!
"Sister Fei's acting was also good."
There are too many people in the crew, so we have to pay attention to the impact. Yang Hao calls Da Mimi and Liu Yifei "sister".
"Hehe, thank you Director Yang for the compliment." Liu Yifei was very satisfied when she heard Yang Hao's compliment. She glanced at Da Mimi and gave her a provocative look in return.
Perhaps letting Liu Yifei and Da Mimi fight with each other is the correct way to open the drama "Zhu Xian".
In the play, Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao fall in love with the same man at the same time, and they are in competition with each other.
Outside the play, Liu Yifei and Da Mimi also fell in love with the same man at the same time, and both had children. They also had a competitive relationship.
The character setting is highly similar, and it feels like he is acting in his true colors.
A few days passed in a flash, and as the filming of "Zhu Xian" progressed, Yang Hao could clearly feel that Liu Yifei and Da Mimi were both getting into the role.
As they got more into the role, the filming of "Zhu Xian" became extremely smooth.
Many scenes were shot in just one take, and even if there were NGs, it was usually not Liu Yifei and Da Mimi's fault.
-
Because Yang Hao directed and acted in this play, when Yang Hao was acting, the filming tasks were handed over to Li Guoan.
Sitting in the director's seat, through the monitor, Li Guoan could clearly feel the love contained in Liu Yifei and Da Mimi's eyes when they looked at Yang Hao, so much so that it was almost tearing.
Clearly, she was looking at Yang Hao with love in the previous second, but when Liu Yifei and Da Mimi looked at each other in the next second, it turned into a bloody storm.
The mood changed so quickly!
Absolutely!
This movement, this demeanor, this facial expression, it’s all drama!
When did Da Mimi and Liu Yifei become so good at acting?
Isn't it rumored in the industry that both of them have poor acting skills?
Sure enough, rumors can kill people!
If it weren't for this opportunity, he really wouldn't have known that these two 85 flowers had such superb acting skills.
-
When Liu Yifei and Da Mimi were acting, the other actors were watching and saw it all. They were shocked by their acting skills.
"Sister Mi, Sister Feifei, your acting skills are so good? It's completely different from the rumors in the circle."
"Sister Fei's eyes are so lively, they are all acting!"
"Sister Mi must have been in too many roles in the past and her condition was not good, which is why people misunderstood her as having no acting skills."
"That should be the case. Sister Mi has performed less in recent years, but her acting skills are really good."
"Sister Mi was praised by a teacher at Beijing Film Academy, saying that she has great acting talent. Now it seems to be true."
……
It has to be said that the performances of Liu Yifei and Da Mimi in "Zhu Xian" conquered many actors and behind-the-scenes workers on the scene and refreshed their perception of the two.
An actor’s reputation within the industry is really important.
Why did Da Mimi rarely receive acting offers from big directors in her previous life?
That's because she has too many dramas. Although she is very famous, her acting skills are too bad and no big director likes to use such an artist.
The reputation within the circle is definitely not spread by hype and gossip on the Internet, but by word of mouth among the assistant directors, directors and other behind-the-scenes staff in the crew.
The acting skills displayed by Liu Yifei and Da Mimi in the "Zhu Xian" crew will definitely spread everywhere with these behind-the-scenes workers.
This will have unexpected benefits for Liu Yifei and Da Mimi's future acting career.
A lot has really changed in this life. At least, since Da Mimi followed me, she has rarely appeared in other dramas. With the release of movies such as "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle" and "Knife of the Assassin", Da Mimi's reputation in the circle has been improving.
Yang Hao feels that if Da Mimi continues to keep up her performance, she will soon become a people's artist.
-
"Fei Fei, when did your acting become so good?" When a scene was over, Shu Ye ran to Liu Yifei, took her arm, and asked curiously.
Shu Ye is Liu Yifei's good friend. She knows Liu Yifei very well, but she knows that although Liu Yifei is beautiful, her acting skills are hard to describe.
It’s really hard to believe that Liu Yifei’s acting skills have improved so much in such a short period of time.
"Changchang, do you think my acting skills were bad before?" Liu Yifei asked back.
When Shu Ye and Liu Yifei were playing and fighting, Yang Hao came over.
He said to Liu Yifei, Shu Ye, and Da Mimi and Guan Xiaotong who were not far away: "Come on, let's shoot a short video." "Here we go, here we go." Liu Yifei, Guan Xiaotong and Da Mimi responded in unison.
Because of his connections, artists in his company and some good friends with whom he has a close relationship have all registered accounts on Douyin, and now they all have millions of fans.
"Is it the Douyin short video that has been advertising recently?" It seemed that Shu Ye was the only one at the scene who didn't have a Douyin account. He had only heard about Douyin short video from hearsay.
"Yes, that's it. This app is quite interesting. Do you want to download one and try it out?"
Hearing Shu Yu asking this, Yang Hao couldn't help but think that Shu Yu would almost bid farewell to the entertainment industry in the future and devote himself to live streaming and selling goods.
For a nationally popular star like Shu Ye, promoting products is no different from picking up money, and it is easy to make a few million a month.
"What type of short video do you want to shoot?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.
The last time Yang Hao helped her shoot a short video of changing clothes at the right time, it directly increased her Douyin fans to over 10 million. Liu Yifei is very interested in shooting short videos at this time.
"We will appear on camera together, say hello to netizens, and then shoot some on-site environment of the "Zhu Xian" crew. That's probably enough." Yang Hao said after thinking for a while.
Short videos are meant to record life and share daily life.
Yang Hao, Liu Yifei, Da Mimi, Guan Xiaotong, and Shu Ye, when the five of them appear on the screen at the same time, it will bring a huge wave of traffic, there is no need to do any fancy things.
"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Yifei, I'm on the set of Zhu Xian."
"Hello everyone, I'm Yang Mi, I'm on the set of Zhu Xian."
……
It’s a very simple short video of a few people sitting together, waving their hands and saying hello to the audience.
After checking and finding no problems, Yang Hao, Liu Yifei, Da Mimi and others sent the short video to their respective accounts.
Yang Hao, Liu Yifei, and Da Mimi have all reached agreements with Douyin, and the short videos posted from their accounts will receive additional traffic support.
Once the video was released, the number of views soared immediately and there were countless comments.
"Big Honey is so beautiful."
"Liu Yifei is so beautiful."
"Is this the crew of Zhu Xian?"
"When will the filming of Zhu Xian be completed? I look forward to its release."
"I'm so envious of Brother Hao for being able to film with so many beautiful women."
"Brother Hao, remember to take a nice picture of my goddess."
……
Shu Ye’s account has not yet been verified with real name, so without the additional streaming from Douyin, the traffic for this video will be much smaller.
Even so, Shu Ye also gained a lot of traffic because of the co-creation of short videos.
"Oh my! My fans have exceeded one million." During lunch, Shu Ye came to Yang Hao and said excitedly.
Although Shu Ye has millions of fans on Weibo, the activity level of these fans is really not very high.
In the past, when I posted a Weibo post, there would only be a few hundred comments, and occasionally there would be over a thousand.
But just after a short video was posted, it received thousands of comments in just a short while.
In a trance, Shu Ye felt like he had returned to the moment when he became famous in the past.
"Shu Ye, you must manage your Douyin app account well. It will be of great help to you in the future." Yang Hao said meaningfully.
"Director Yang, I think this app is very interesting and very much to my liking. I will manage it well." Shu Ye agreed with Yang Hao's words.
-
After spending these days together, Liu Yifei and Da Mimi are no longer at odds with each other like they were in the beginning. It seems that they have reached an agreement in private.
Yang Hao has figured out the pattern: 1, 3, and 5 are definitely the times when Da Mimi comes to his room.
2, 4, 6 must be Liu Yifei coming to her room.
As for Sunday, it seemed like they gave themselves a day off on purpose, probably because they were afraid of tiring Yang Hao out.
After all, we have entered a civilized society where sustainable development is important. Liu Yifei and Da Mimi also know this.
However, Guan Xiaotong seemed to have seen through their sustainable development path. Every Sunday, Guan Xiaotong would secretly come to Yang Hao's room.
Cultivating immortality, eating honey, and fighting against leg growth, Yang Hao’s days on the set of “Zhu Xian” were truly very happy.
-
Today is Thursday, and it is Liu Yifei's turn to be on duty.
Yang Hao discovered that Liu Yifei's condition seemed a little abnormal these days.
In the past, when Liu Yifei met me alone in the room, she would basically throw herself into my arms immediately.
But now, he sat beside him with his head down, not saying a word.
"What's wrong? Feifei." Yang Hao took the initiative to pull Liu Yifei into his arms and asked.
"Yang Hao, is it true that my acting skills are not as good as Da Mimi's?" Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Yang Hao hopefully, wanting to get the answer she wanted from Yang Hao.
To be honest, Liu Yifei and Da Mimi's acting skills were basically at the same level a few years ago.
But Da Mimi and I have been together for a long time and we have not been in the same scene for a long time.
After being tempered by many high-quality movies such as "Bridget Jones Meets Seattle", "Bridget Jones: The Unbreakable Love Letter" and "Knife of the Assassin", her acting skills are now even better than Liu Yifei.
I think Liu Yifei herself has also felt it during these days on the set.
"Fei Fei, your acting skills are very good. Don't underestimate yourself. You are the best." As a veteran in the love field, Yang Hao certainly knew what to say nicely now.
No matter how good your acting is, if you are asked, I will say that you are the best.
"Hmph! You just know how to coax me." After hearing Yang Hao's words, although Liu Yifei probably knew that Yang Hao was coaxing her, she was still happy to hear such words.
Seeing the happy smile on Liu Yifei's face, Yang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.
Women are big liars. If Yang Hao had said just now that Liu Yifei's acting skills were not as good as Da Mimi's, she probably wouldn't have had time to sleep tonight.
"Yang Hao, can you give me some private lessons and help me with my acting skills?"
"Okay, I'll give you some acting lessons right now."
"Hey~ Hey, it's not about tutoring this j."
