Filming ancient costumes is much more burdensome than filming fashion dramas. It is not easy to wear warm clothes in winter, and to cover them in summer, not to mention headgear and makeup. Ordinary scholars are fine, but if they are knights and swordsmen, they must carry weapons. Even props, it is not easy for a day.
Tie Canglong's production team started on February 18th. First shoot in the film and television city on the outskirts of the city, and then go to other places to shoot scenes after the weather warms up.
On the first day of shooting, many reporters came to the shooting site, but most of them came for Shen Leming. Cheng Yan heard the movement outside in the dressing room. Shen Leming's slightly hoarse voice was mixed with the reporter's loud questions.
A photo of Shen Leming having dinner with Xu Ningyi just came out two days ago. In the photo, the two of them are in an intimate posture, suspected to be a couple. Xu Ningyi is a popular actress in another company. She is two years older than Shen Leming. She has starred in several dramas and became famous earlier. Naturally, she is more famous than a retired model like Shen Leming.
Sibling love, women are stronger than men, are hot spots. The reporters naturally flocked to Shen Leming to ask for confirmation. They all stretched their necks and asked how he and Xu Ningyi met, and whether they were dating that night. Few people care about the upcoming new drama.
This time not only Fangfang, but even Xiao Hu felt angry: "The posture outside is like a press conference! Those who don't know think he is the leading actor."
However, Shen Leming is from the same company as them, so we can't really do anything to him.
Cheng Yan didn't care too much. The headgear had just been put on, and he tried to move it, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Flipping through the script, he comforted Xiao Hu and Fangfang: "It's okay to let him be more popular outside the play. He is really capable if he can steal the limelight in the play." .”
Shen Leming was seizing the opportunity to pose the best poses and angles to the reporters, letting them take enough shots, while laughing and rambling, and when they were done talking, he answered slowly: "Ning Yi and I are very close." Good friends, it's normal to have a meal together... "
"However, we do have dinner together because we have something to discuss."
Immediately, a reporter asked loudly, "What happened?"
Shen Leming raised the corners of his mouth: "I can't say it now, we have to keep it secret for now, everyone might as well guess."
The reporter was in an uproar. Given such a room for imagination, it is like saying "you can make random guesses and write, the more exaggerated the better".
Just as Cheng Yan came out of the dressing room, Shen Leming glanced at him, immediately turned around and pulled him over, hugged his shoulder affectionately, and said to the reporter: "This drama is starring seniors, everyone, don't just stare at me ah."
The shape Cheng Yan had just finished was that Lin Bushi had just left the school and went down the mountain not long ago, and the homespun clothes were very plain. Shen Leming is wearing short cowhide boots with laces. She is nearly 1.9 meters tall. She wears black pencil pants to make her legs look longer. She also wears a small plaid jacket with a large lapel collar. She looks as perfect as if she just came off the catwalk. Looking at Cheng Yan who is half a head shorter than him, I really don't know who is more like the protagonist.
Fang Fang was so angry that her mouth was crooked.
I have seen it done, but I have never seen it done like this!
Cheng Yan felt something else—he pressed against Shen Leming's shoulder, and could feel Shen Leming's slight trembling.
Perhaps it was the excitement of facing so many reporters, but the greater possibility was that the weather was too cold and freezing. Many of the reporters on the opposite side were wearing down jackets and thick trench coats. Shen Leming looks very slim, but also very thin. As soon as Cheng Yan came out of the room, he stood there for a while, and felt that the heat on his body was about to dissipate.
Fortunately, Fangfang posted some warm babies for him. The costumes are loose and can't be seen.
Whether he is the number one lead actor of Fu Canglong's crew, of course the reporter has to grab Cheng Yan and ask him a few questions. But the drama hasn't been filmed yet, so I can only ask Cheng Yan if he has the confidence to surpass the movie version, and his impression of the co-stars and director.
Cheng Yan answered one by one in a leisurely manner, repeating a few scenes over and over again.
Shen Leming's center of gravity shifted from his left foot to his right foot, and from his right foot to his left foot. Finally, a field manager came to greet them to enter the booth, and the reporters gradually dispersed.
On the first day, Cheng Yan mainly had scenes with the old actor who played the master and the heroine. An old actor has been in the industry for 30 years, and he is familiar with everything. Of course, it is easy to play a master who is about to die from a serious injury and endures humiliation. The heroine Chu Tong is not satisfactory. Although her acting skills are not bad, she tends to forget her words, and what's worse is the jokes.
Laughter is contagious. In the last scene of the day, Chu Tong was okay during the rehearsal, but when it came to the official shooting, the first one failed, and the two consecutive NGs were all because of the laughter. When it came to the fourth article, Chu Tong was fine, but Cheng Yan couldn't help laughing. The eyebrows on his face trembled, and Chu Tong burst out laughing immediately, unable to stand still, and squatted down.
The director lost his temper because of them, so he had to record it as a sideshow. In the end, Chutong's manager pulled her aside and talked for a long time. It's finally over to the fifth article.
At that time, another group that mainly filmed villain scenes had already finished work. Shen Leming came to watch.
When Cheng Yan finished work and took off his makeup, Shen Leming followed.
"Chu Tong is dating Director Chen." As soon as he opened his mouth, he called Cheng Yan to pause.
"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see the ambiguity between Chu Tong and the director, and everyone is just tacit understanding. I guess this big news will have to be delayed until the end." Shen Leming said enthusiastically.
Cheng Yan was surprised. It's just started. Although the director's attitude towards Chu Tong is really good, he has some doubts in his heart, and he doesn't dare to insist that there is nothing between the two of them. Shen Leming was so sure that he knew it before.
"...It's no wonder that Director Chen is reluctant to scold her, but it's hard work for senior," Shen Leming said sincerely, "I heard that senior's acting skills are good before, but after seeing her today, it's really better than I thought."
Cheng Yan washed his face, smiled and said a few words modestly.
Shen Leming dragged him to dinner again: "I know there is a restaurant nearby that serves authentic Cantonese cuisine."
Cheng Yan politely declined and only said next time.
As soon as he left, Cheng Yan's face immediately collapsed. Shen Leming's gesture of digging out the secret was too eager and annoying.
Because they are from the same school, they have a better understanding of the inside story. To the outside world, the company's excuse for the sudden promotion of Chengyan is that Daisy's Director He took a fancy to him and deliberately pulled him up. Later, the effect of the performance was really good, so this statement was fooled. But since the company was originally interested in Shen Leming, it probably got along with Director He. Then it suddenly changed to Yanshang, Shen Leming naturally felt it.
A company is not just a circle. Shen Leming was dug out by another big-name agent in the company.
Cheng Yan sighed deeply.
