Chapter 22 A lot of love
Two days later, Du Sheng arrived at Xingyeyuan in Hengdian.
The crew rented some areas of the venue and prepared to conduct two weeks of intensive training for the actors.
As he walked in, Du Sheng saw several familiar actors.
As soon as I stepped into the rest area, I heard a lively conversation.
The people in the room were divided into several small groups, whispering to each other.
Among them, Liu Tao was chatting enthusiastically with a slim girl, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Two young men sat next to them, interjecting from time to time, adding a bit of liveliness to the atmosphere.
Liu Yifei chose a quiet corner, put on headphones and read the script in her hand attentively, as if she was completely immersed in her own world.
"what!"
When Liu Tao saw Du Sheng coming in, he clapped his hands in surprise and excitement:
"Did you make it through the audition, too? What a coincidence!"
That day, she passed by the corridor and was amused by the funny couple Du Sheng and Wang Yaoyang.
Du Sheng nodded in response and said:
"Yes, thanks to the support of the producers and directors."
He caught a glimpse of Liu Yifei reading a script out of the corner of his eye, and she seemed to want to stand up and say hello.
But when he saw him being pulled away for an introduction by the enthusiastic Liu Tao, he sat back down.
Liu Tao didn't notice these details. She was in a good mood at the moment and took Du Sheng to introduce him to the girl next to her:
"This is Wang Yi, playing the role of A-Bi. She is also your maid."
She herself played the role of Ah Zhu, who was loved by the Murong family since childhood. She was nominally Murong Fu's trusted maid, but her actual treatment was comparable to that of the Murong family's adopted daughter.
So there is no doubt about the enthusiasm, we are all in a small circle.
Wang Yi is tall, has a clear voice and is a little shy.
"Hello."
She stood up and shook hands with Du Sheng politely:
"I heard that your acting and martial arts are both very good, please give me your guidance!"
She played A-Bi, who had a crush on Murong Fu, and ended up accompanying the crazy Murong Fu for the rest of his life. Naturally, they needed to understand each other.
"Sir, there's me too!"
Liu Tao was wearing a red dress and joining in the fun with a smile on his face.
In the play, Ah Zhu's character is lively, cute, quirky, and considerate. She has already gotten into the role in advance.
Besides her special skill of 'disguise', Ah-Zhu is also proficient in body movements, acupoints and leg techniques, so it is reasonable for her to be given some pointers.
After introducing Wang Yi, Liu Tao pointed to the tall, thin man sitting still and introduced:
"Ma Yuke plays You Tanzhi. Don't underestimate him. He comes from a family of drama actors and has acted in many plays!"
Du Sheng immediately recognized Duan Kun from Tsim Sha Tsui and greeted him with a smile:
"Hello, my name is Du Sheng, please take care of me in the future."
Ma Yuke didn't put on airs and pointed to the seat next to him and asked him to sit down.
The same is true for another young man with a flat head who plays Zhu Danchen.
After all, it is no longer a secret that Du Sheng was recognized by four directors during the audition.
It is said that there are investors who are optimistic about it.
Even if they are envious, jealous or unhappy, they will not show it.
"Producer Zhang is busy and can't come today. Director Ju and Director Zhao should be in charge here."
Wang Yi took a bottle of juice from the table and handed it to Du Sheng:
"I think they'll be very busy these two days. I heard something happened with the martial arts instructor. We'll have to wait a while."
"Thank you."
Du Sheng took it and chatted for a while.
Seeing Liu Yifei sitting there alone with her head tilted, he smiled and walked over.
"Brother Sheng, we meet again."
There were a lot of people around, and Liu Yifei was obviously a little shy, so she greeted him shyly. "We are on the set, so you have to call me cousin now."
Du Sheng smiled and noticed her MP3 player:
"What song?"
""fleeting time""
Liu Yifei explained shyly:
"This is my favorite singer. I will listen to all her new songs..."
After listening for a while, Du Sheng recognized it:
"It's the work of the singing queen. The day before yesterday, I was singing in a bar, and a customer asked me to sing "Forget Love Letter."
Liu Yifei was slightly surprised:
"Can you still sing?"
Du Sheng did not say that this was a skill for making a living, but smiled and said:
"Don't you know that your cousin is a man of both literary and martial arts? Ask A-Bi. I was the one who taught her music."
Liu Yifei was infected by his relaxed and cheerful mood and smiled softly:
"My cousin has always been aloof and proud, but he never brags about himself."
Seeing her blending into the atmosphere, Du Sheng laughed:
"Even good wine needs to be soaked in water. I have to show up before your brother Duan comes."
"Haha!~"
Liu Yifei's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled:
"You got into the role so quickly!"
"There's nothing we can do. If we don't raise our voices now, we'll just have to stand in the corner when those big names come."
Seeing Du Sheng chatting and laughing with Liu Yifei as soon as he sat down, Liu Tao joked:
"Master Murong, aren't you so devoted to restoring your country that you don't even recognize your relatives? This style doesn't seem like that of a villain."
Du Sheng pretended to be surprised:
"You are still the owner of the Murong family's 'Tingxiangshui Pavilion'. Does that count as aiding and abetting the evil?"
In this revised version of "Tian Long", Murong Fu is one of the main villains from beginning to end, and he is also the mastermind of the evil deeds.
He killed the masters of Qingcheng Sect and Penglai Sect, murdered Ma Dayuan, colluded with Quan Guanqing, framed Qiao Feng, exposed Qiao Feng's Khitan ancestry, and provoked internal strife in the Beggars' Sect...
Jin Yong's dramas have been remade many times, and people have a general understanding of the content of the original works. If they just copy and paste them, it will inevitably appear bland and boring.
So Zhou Yaowen made a suggestion to Jin Yong, and this adaptation was quite powerful.
Although Murong Fu was changed into a conspirator, he is much more charismatic as a villain compared to the mindless ones in previous versions.
Carefully planned step by step, all kinds of cruel means were at hand, all just for the "great cause of restoring the country".
Liu Tao had nothing better to do when he read the general script. He looked at Liu Yifei and joked:
"After all, I am still your sister, but someone is obviously a little biased."
None of us are famous, so we can chat freely.
Moreover, this can bring them closer together and make them fit the roles, which complements each other.
Liu Yifei was a little shy when she heard the joke, but she was not willing to be outdone:
"Since Sister Zhu considers herself a member of the Murong family, why did she end up supporting her mortal enemy Qiao Feng? This is not my cousin's fault."
Liu Tao opened his mouth, speechless.
Although in this revised version Wang Yuyan also ran away with Duan Yu halfway through, she finally returned to her cousin.
And she not only presented the supreme treasure "Yi Jin Jing" stolen from Shaolin Temple to Qiao Feng, but also fell in love with Qiao Feng. This is really irrefutable.
Wang Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw the usually sharp-tongued Liu Tao being humiliated:
"It seems our sister Ah Zhu has met her match."
Liu Tao's eyes turned, and he suddenly changed the subject and looked at Du Sheng, saying:
"Today, your 'tryst' with a famous star has become a hot topic on the Internet. You are so lucky!"
The big star she was talking about was, of course, Fan Bingbing.
The other person's status is at least eighteen levels higher than hers.
When these words were spoken, everyone, including Liu Yifei, looked over curiously.
Du Sheng knew that what happened in the bar that night was most likely filmed, but no one would believe him even if he admitted it, so he smiled calmly:
"I hope this is true, but the truth is too far-fetched. Who can turn me into a big star?"
