Chapter 245: Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger
Thirty minutes later, Du Sheng hugged Zhong Xinxun tenderly for a while.
Seeing that she really couldn't get up, she simply ordered breakfast and then washed up.
Today he has to rush back to the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", and in a few days he has to go to Neon, so he can't waste time.
After breakfast, Zhong Xinyan cheered up and drove him to the airport, saying softly:
"Ah Sheng, when will the song you promised to compose for us last night be finished?"
Their group is planning to release a Mandarin EP, but they haven't received any good songs recently.
The reason why I accepted Liu Dehua's charity invitation and joined Du Sheng's party the night before was actually to try my luck.
After all, the song "Only Have Feelings for You" that Du Sheng wrote for Zhang Baizhi is still often on the best-selling list.
The online album released by the other party not long ago was all sung and written by the artist himself. It can often be heard and played in music stores in Hong Kong, and his talent is beyond doubt.
Du Sheng thought about it. Although he was drunk at the time, he still had some memories. He said:
"It's the song 'I Really Want to Love Him', right? It'll take two days, and there's still some work to do."
In fact, the last time I used "Flash of Inspiration", I tinkered with a few songs of the group "Girls' Generation", including this one.
Now Liu Yifei and the other girls are still in the stage of improving their singing skills, so they cannot be used for the time being.
The item has been returned to its original owner, and this song doesn't matter.
Zhong Xinxun was quite happy. She stopped at a red light and happily kissed the man on the cheek.
But after the joy, she felt a little shy:
"When will you come to Hong Kong next time?"
Their base is in Hong Kong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Southeast Asia and other regions. If Du Sheng doesn't come, there will be little chance to get together.
Du Sheng was a little surprised, but not surprised.
He couldn't remember how many times he had opened up the land between last night and morning.
Judging from the reluctant look on this girl's face, this must have happened quite a few times.
This made Du Sheng feel a little melancholy.
The image of Zhang Baizhi's cute face with bared teeth and claws emerged in my mind.
He turned to look at Zhong Xinyu:
"Infernal Affairs 2 will be released on National Day, I should come in advance to promote it.
As for the songs, I will send them to you on QQ. You can also contact me if you have any questions. "
Zhong Xinxun didn't say anything else and silently wrote down the QQ number.
.........
That afternoon, after Du Sheng returned to Zhejiang Province, he first went to Star Media.
After discussing the follow-up business with Ye Jingzhi and Wang Jinhua, he got on the car and went to Hengdian.
Directors Luo Ting, Liang Guoguan, and Li Dachao had already reviewed the location and even planned to build some scenes to facilitate subsequent filming.
After the last press conference, many people have joined the team and arranged related matters.
Huang Deli, Ma Lisheng and others also came here more than half a month ago to make preparations before filming.
At the same time, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan and others were invited to join the training group.
Although this fantasy drama is somewhat similar to "Snow Goddess Dragon" and the fighting moves also rely more on special effects, in order to highlight the fairy-tale temperament, some basics must be mastered professionally.
For example, Li Xiaoyao, who is famous for his swordsmanship, would have to be trained in swordsmanship for at least half a month if an ordinary person were to play the role.
Hu Ge, who had no acting skills in his previous life, trained for almost a month for this.
Du Sheng had no awareness of this at all and only arrived just before filming began.
After all, he is an action director and many of the moves are designed by him. He only needs to practice them a few times with his rivals in his spare time.
Liu Yifei has some experience in action scenes, and she didn't have many fighting scenes, so the practice process went quite smoothly.
According to this girl, the person who was most active in training during this period was Tang Yan.
This female student from the Central Academy of Drama who was signed to Zhongyao Films was older than the other three, but she seemed extremely excited because it was her first time to see a martial arts scene.
He even took the initiative to ask Huang Deli for additional training.
In comparison, Yang Mi's situation is a bit tragic.
The character she played, Lin Yueru, involved a lot of fighting scenes, but she had rarely been involved in fighting scenes before. When practicing her moves, she looked weak and lacked strength, so she was severely trained by Wong Tak-lee.
She was obedient and carried out her duties seriously, but she would occasionally complain to her sisters that it was not as hard as when she was filming Xiao Zhao in "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber".
Liu Shishi has been practicing ballet since she was young, so she has an inadvertent habit of walking in a straight line, which is quite common among many ballet dancers, but it has become a flaw in the fairy tale drama.
In addition, she is nearsighted, so Du Sheng will have to wait until he has the chance to help her correct it later.
During this period, Ma Lansheng not only had to cooperate with Huang Deli to design moves, but also had to teach martial arts movements and correct everyone's mistakes. He was very busy.
Fortunately, the maids were diligent and hardworking, otherwise Ma Lisheng would have been overwhelmed long ago.
Liu Yifei became familiar with them and was not in a hurry to leave after finishing her practice. She often practiced with the sisters until late at night.
A week ago, major supporting actors such as Peng Yuyan, Sun Yaowei, Xu Jinjiang, and Xie Junhao also joined the crew for intensified training.
Sun Yaowei got in through Du Sheng's relationship and played the third male lead, Liu Jinyuan, the top scholar of the dynasty and Lin Yueru's cousin.
With the foundation of "Dragon Goddess" and its own popularity, Zhong Zhen and others naturally welcomed it.
As for inviting Sun Yaowei to film a movie, will it offend those people who previously threatened to ban him?
Du Sheng didn't take it seriously at all.
In this way, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
When Du Sheng arrived at the crew in the afternoon, he announced that the main creative team was basically in place.
But the others were still training, so he didn't bother them.
The press conference was held before, and he came here today to take the final makeup photos. But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli just got out of the car.
When Liu Xiaoli saw Du Sheng, she was stunned for a moment, and then returned to her cold and elegant appearance in public.
The contrast between the before and after is so great that it is very impressive.
If Du Sheng had not had an in-depth discussion with her when they went to buy two villas last time, outsiders would never know how enthusiastic and proactive she was when it was late at night and no one was around.
Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. This is no joke.
However, in front of Du Sheng, even such a tiger or wolf can only lie down obediently.
When I turned my head at this moment, I saw Liu Xiaoli's profile.
As the weather was hot in August, Liu Xiaoli only wore a simple set of light-colored shirt and trousers.
Only when he looked from the side did Du Sheng deeply understand the meaning of the poem.
Looking from the side, it looks like a mountain; looking from the front, it looks like a beacon!
Perhaps feeling his gaze, Liu Xiaoli just nodded, her expression remaining unchanged.
But Liu Yifei's eyes lit up and she came forward:
"Cousin, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be much more handsome and taller now."
Du Sheng waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile:
"Cousin, the light makeup you put on today is quite pleasing to the eyes."
Liu Yifei stroked her cheek gently, smiling with her eyebrows curved:
"Really? Then I should try this kind of makeup more often in the future. It's suitable, right?"
After taking a closer look, Du Sheng gave his affirmation:
"Yes, this light makeup really suits you."
The art of makeup ultimately varies from person to person.
For a girl with good skin and good looks like Liu Yifei, simple and fresh makeup is enough to highlight her temperament.
Heavy makeup is unnecessary for her.
Not only does it conceal her own charm, it also does not fit in with the pure and ethereal image that Liu Yifei has always portrayed.
Recalling that during the filming of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", she often went out without makeup, whether shopping or exploring natural beauty.
"Cousin, you haven't put on makeup yet, how about I help you put on makeup?"
When Liu Yifei was in a good mood, her little tail started to curl up.
"... Well, let's put on makeup for those girls. They need to take photos to set their makeup, so it's not suitable to wash it off."
After chatting for a while, both sides went about their business.
Du Sheng came to the dressing room and let the makeup artist carefully sculpt her, and her first outfit was finally completed.
As soon as he left the dressing room, Yao Zhuangxian, the CEO of Ruanxing Technology, came almost right after him and examined his new look.
Du Sheng knew that this person was very concerned, so he greeted him and asked:
"Boss Yao, are you satisfied with this outfit?"
Yao Zhuangxian nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.
"Satisfied! Very satisfied, this is exactly the character I've always dreamed of!"
Although Yao Zhuangxian's praise contained some courtesy, it was mostly out of his heartfelt appreciation.
At this moment, Du Sheng was wearing a plain inner shirt and a casual light blue robe on the outside. There were unruly patterns scattered on the lapels of his clothes, and he wore a lively flower-carved hat on his head.
The whole person exudes the carefree and easy-going nature of a chivalrous knight, yet still retains the youthful and lively aura of a teenager.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a handsome scholar who travels around the world with a sword.
Liu Yifei is not bad either.
She wore a green cloth long dress with various pink and yellow patterned headdresses, which made her look fairy-like.
This look surprised many people as soon as it appeared.
Especially when she and Du Sheng stood side by side, everyone felt that they only envied the mandarin ducks and not the immortals.
Du Sheng cooperated with the photo taking, holding a long sword in front of his chest, while Liu Yifei simulated the posture of casting a spell with hand gestures. The two of them leaned slightly towards each other, snuggling up to each other, and had a strong sense of couple, as if they were made for each other.
Liu Yifei smiled like a flower. At this moment, she felt like she was back to the crew of "Tian Long" and was with her cousin. All the good things were back.
Especially that innocent smile, which gives people a feeling of youth, vitality and beauty.
Soon after, Yang Mi and Tang Yan also excitedly stepped into everyone's sight.
In the previous life "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", the makeup of the character Lin Yueru was rougher than that of Li Xiaoyao, who was born as a waiter in a fishing village. Her clothes were shabby and gave people a bad feeling of being put together in a mess.
In the script given by Du Sheng, Lin Yueru's character background was given more changes, especially strengthening her image as a daughter from a wealthy family.
Therefore, the multiple looks designed for Yang Mi all embody luxury and sophistication.
In addition, the costumes are carefully designed, making each of Yang Mi's looks gorgeous and delicate.
This time she wore a white short jacket with green pleats at the neckline and hem, paired with a pink and black floral long skirt.
The attitude of a rich girl is fully displayed.
Especially with Yang Mi's own graceful temperament, Tang Yan, who played the general's daughter 'Anu', was somewhat overshadowed.
In certain circumstances, this visual contrast is just right.
But if it runs throughout the whole play, it may result in a very different visual style.
There has to be a good balance between the good and the bad.
