Chapter 141 A woman’s heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea
The second half of Wang Yaoyang's sentence does make some sense.

Not to mention Jia Jingwen, she fell into a slump in Bay City and shifted her focus to development in the mainland.

There is also Xu Jinjiang, who played the role of the Lion King. He is a famous veteran and has contributed to many Hong Kong erotic films.

Guo Feili, who plays Zhang Wuji's mother Yin Susu and has many rival scenes with Du Sheng (who plays Zhang Cuishan + Zhang Wuji), is a Singaporean artist.

She is also a model, so it is inevitable that she is good-looking.

Ever since she became famous for playing the Peony Fairy in "Journey to the East", she has been voted by netizens as one of the "Four Beauties of Southeast Asia".

After that, there is Chen Xiuli, who plays Ji Xiaofu, a Malaysian artist.

Du Sheng guessed most of what Wang Yaoyang said about the difficulty in communication.

Apart from the fact that I can't speak Mandarin well, it's actually a matter of treatment and pay.

Du Sheng didn't say much about this.

After all, this is a drama prepared by Lai Shuiqing, who had been working on it all over the place two years ago.

He guessed there were two main reasons why the other party invited overseas artists.

First, Lai Shuiqing has cooperated with many overseas TV stations, which even has benefits.

Secondly, it is easier to sell the series at a high price, and TV stations will tend to consider the fame and influence of celebrities when purchasing films.

Although Du Sheng didn't mind, it would be somewhat difficult for her to perform if she didn't speak the language.

When someone keeps saying 12345 to you during filming, not only will you be able to remain calm and continue to act, you'll probably end up with an unnatural expression.

But it’s okay to be able to communicate in Cantonese, so as to avoid the situation like those young handsome guys in the previous life.

In addition, the role of Zhang Wuji is not easy to interpret.

The transformation of his character in the book is quite complicated. He always gives people the impression of being tolerant, hesitant, and if he is not careful, he will act too cowardly. He even becomes a passionate playboy who wants to have the best of both worlds.

After the previous life's "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was broadcast, Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen both clearly expressed their dislike for Zhang Wuji in interviews, believing that he had let down the deep affection of several women.

It would be fine if Du Sheng was just a spectator and didn't care much about these things, but he is an actor now and he has to strike a good balance.

Otherwise, the whole show would be a mess.

But then again, if he was really Zhang Wuji, possessing such powerful martial arts and such a huge influence, he would have become the king long ago.

It’s just like the movie version directed by Wang Jing, surrounded by money, power, and beauties, how happy it is.

But since TV series have to be long, some flaws are inevitable.

Since some venues have not been fully rented yet, the afternoon will mainly be spent in groups reading.

Lai Shuiqing once explained that the plots of Ice and Fire Island and Ruyang Palace would be filmed first in the early stages.

Du Sheng got together with Jia Jingwen, Guo Feili, Xu Jinjiang, Shi Xiaolong and others.

This was the first time he had admired two beauties so closely.

Guo Feili is worthy of being a model. With a height of 170cm and high-heeled embroidered shoes, she is almost as tall as some men.

And her biggest advantage is her ancient costume look at this moment, which is mature and stunning, and she can be said to be one of the most dazzling presences at the scene.

As for Jia Jingwen, her royal sister temperament is indeed well-deserved.

The beauty of the former school belle was well deserved.

Jia Jingwen is eloquent and even joked during the conversation:

"In middle school, I was actually quite lively, like a little girl. It wasn't until high school that I became sensible and emerged from my cocoon and became a butterfly..."

She could even talk lightly about the fact that she had received countless love letters from boys and some girls had written to her to scold her out of jealousy.

During the reading, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she kept affectionately calling Du Sheng "brother".

Du Sheng didn't feel uncomfortable with this title, he just smiled.

It is a pleasure to be close to such a beautiful and easy-going lady.

When they were bored while reading together, Shi Xiaolong and Guo Feili would chat about interesting things in their student days and talk about each other's growth experiences.

This kind of atmosphere makes people feel particularly relaxed and pleasant.

Looking at the beauties around him, Du Sheng felt a little emotional:
'Some people's beauty is innate, while some people's charm is gradually accumulated over the years...'

"you sure?"

At this time, Jia Jingwen suddenly looked at Du Sheng curiously:

"You can actually play the flute?"

"Did you underestimate Mr. Zhang?"

Du Sheng just mentioned it casually:
"Literary and military strategy, poetry and songs, playing musical instruments and singing, all kinds of martial arts... Which one of them is not my strong point?"

Jia Jingwen was amused by his words and smiled, saying:

"Are you flattering yourself or Zhang Wuji?"

Du Sheng also laughed:
"Isn't exaggeration just praising myself?"

"Haha!~"

Jia Jingwen smiled even more happily, her eyes curved into crescents:

"You're almost becoming a dramatic actor!"

"More than that, I can hardly tell whether I am in the play or outside of it."

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that Du Sheng was only busy chatting and laughing with Jia Jingwen, Guo Feili also had some thoughts and pretended to joke:

"Ah Sheng, weren't you going to play the role of Zhang Cuishan? Why did you change it to Zhang Wuji who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman?"

"oops?"

Du Sheng turned his head and looked surprised:

"Sister Feili, when did you learn to squeeze people so tactfully?
Did you learn this from Jinjiang and Xiaolong after coming to the mainland? "

He knew it was probably because of his identity as an investor and action director. In the crew, even if the actors didn't curry favor with investors, producers, directors, etc., they would still try to make friends with them.

The reason is simple and practical.

Either they want to get some resources, or they want better treatment, or they want to take shortcuts.

In the future entertainment industry, there is nothing that female stars cannot do in order to make their own way forward.

It’s not so bad now. At least he is not so unscrupulous and knows how to protect his reputation.

Xu Jinjiang and Shi Xiaolong were lying down and shot, they smiled and waved their hands:
"I would like to teach you, but the beauty won't give me the chance."

"Why call me Sister Feili? We are partners now. Call me Susu."

Guo Feili rolled her eyes at him, looking a little coquettish.

It's true, it's obvious that the actor has thought about the character.

The character she played, "Yin Susu", the daughter of the leader of the Sky Eagle Sect, is both good and evil. She can be tender and affectionate in one second and draw her sword to fight in the next. She dares to love and hate.

Although she is not in the play at the moment, she still shows her "witch" side, which shows that she has a very good grasp of the role.

Jia Jingwen kept smiling, but she felt a little unhappy but didn't know how to express it:
"I am also his wife in the drama, how do we calculate our generational relationship?"

If we go by the plot, I have to call Yin Susu my mother.

Xu Jinjiang and Shi Xiaolong looked at each other: "..."

They can all be compared to each other, it can only be said that women's hearts are as deep as the sea.

Du Sheng shook his head and smiled, knowing why the two women were making a fuss about it.

Yin Susu’s character is actually very similar to Zhao Min, or it can be said that Zhao Min is her plus version.

Both of them are "evil women" despised by the righteous. They are both beautiful, intelligent, and strong in fighting. They are also a little cunning and have a bit of "evil spirit". They both fell in love with men who seemed impossible to be together.

It is said that when Jin Yong wrote "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", he originally planned to use Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu as the male and female protagonists, so he wrote almost a quarter of the content, but later for various reasons he let them take a back seat.

By the way, the setting of a noble son and a demon cult girl, both of them are deeply affectionate and loyal, especially since the male protagonist has no beautiful women around him...

In the readers' minds, this couple is even better than Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji.

However, Yin Susu was not as lucky as Zhao Min. She followed her husband Zhang Cuishan, who committed suicide out of guilt, and died for love.

Perhaps out of pity, the screenwriter of this version showed special favoritism to her and pushed the blame of the massacre of the entire Longmen Escort Agency onto Cheng Kun, greatly whitewashing the mistakes made by Yin Susu as a "witch" in the original novel.

In this way, the two characters will be compared more by the audience.

Guo Feili and Jia Jingwen are also very clear about this, so it is certain that they have some calculations.

creak!

Just as everyone was having a heated discussion, the door of the conference room opened and Hwang Deok-ri and Won Bin walked in together.

"Hello, teachers!"

Everyone greeted each other in a chaotic manner.

"Are you all here? The atmosphere of the reading group is really great!"

Huang Deli took a look at the scene, but found that everyone was just waving and no one stood up.

He looked at Du Sheng and the others and pretended to be angry:
"Hey, we are teachers after all, is this the only sincerity you have?"

Everyone knows that he is Du Sheng's adoptive father and one of the specially hired martial arts directors.

During lunch, everyone had basically met each other before, and most of the time they joked around.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was sitting at a table in Emei Sect and was very quiet, suddenly turned her eyes slightly and joked with a smile:

"Uncle Huang, if you can really give us some of the legendary Qilin blood, we will stand up and bow to you immediately."

Huang Deli's most well-known role in the film and television industry is Nie Feng, the ancestor who drank the blood of the unicorn in "Feng Yun".

Therefore, when he heard Gao Yuanyuan's words, he was not annoyed, but laughed out loud:
"If you can find the Fire Qilin, don't even bother with the blood. I'll even cut off the Qilin's arm for you!"

Yuan Bin counted the number of people present:
"How many main actors are still missing?"

Huang Deli knew the situation and said:

"The two of the iron triangle, one is working on the "Cell Phone" movie, one is hosting "World Collection", and they will be here in a few days, and...

Director Lai said that those who come here should practice first, especially since the scenes are very important, those with poor basic skills need to work harder. "

Yuan Bin didn't care about it anymore, he looked at everyone and said bluntly:

“I won’t say polite words anymore. Now everyone, please follow us and practice hard.

Kung Fu, weapon use, horsemanship, wirework skills, etc., all are essential."

He changed the subject and looked at Du Sheng:
"Ah Sheng, can you help with the action design?"

Du Sheng knew what the other party meant and nodded slightly:

"Alright."

This previous version had a lot of flaws, and the trivial fighting scenes accounted for a large part of it.

If the skills are not good enough, special effects will make up for it.

One of the reasons for the slow filming was the action scenes.

Lai Shui-qing himself was not good at these things, and he did not hire an action director, so he just asked the martial arts director to make do. After a lot of bumps and bruises, the three-month filming took half a year.

Of course, another reason is that the director doesn’t speak Mandarin very well and speaks Cantonese on the set.

Since Du Sheng is involved here, he will naturally try his best to avoid these things.

At the very least, the schedule must be shortened.

He is a bit pressed for time, as he has a drama to be filmed and two movies to be starred in, starring Andy Lau and Pak-Chi Cheung.
