Jiang Wen leaned to one side, and he could hardly suppress the irritation in his eyes.
He looked at Guan Han who was surrounded by the little sun, and then looked at Si Cheng, Zhang Yinghui and other main actors who were sitting aside, holding their not-so-hot hot water bags and silently flipping through the script. He was very angry.
Guan Han's agent didn't say a word and asked people to bring all the small suns they could see to Guan Han's side. The few small suns in the crew were all given to her, even the one that Jiang Wen specially left for Si Cheng to dry his clothes was taken away.
Although Jiang Wen usually scolded Si Cheng and the others, the children performed with real heart. Although he didn't say anything, he was satisfied in his heart.
Seeing Si Cheng's clothes soaked with cold water, and the child reading the script without a word of complaint, Jiang Wen was furious, and the photographer standing next to him was trembling with fear, afraid of being affected.
Jiang Wen's face was gloomy, and he suddenly looked at the young photographer. The photographer shuddered and asked cautiously: "Director?"
Jiang Wen raised the corner of his mouth with a forced smile, and under the photographer's horrified gaze, he reached out and held the hand that was controlling the direction of the camera.
The young photographer stammered, rather uncomfortably: "Director, what are you doing..."
Seeing his wavering eyes and tangled expression, Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment and said unhappily, "What are you thinking about?"
After a pause, Jiang Wen whispered, "Turn on the machine."
The photographer nodded in confusion and turned on the camera, not knowing what Jiang Wen was going to do.
Jiang Wen held his hand and moved it slightly, controlling the direction of the camera, sweeping across Guan Han, Si Cheng and others. The camera, which lasted less than ten seconds, was deliberately out of focus, and the camera was shaking, making it look like it was just randomly sweeping across.
"Okay, let's close it." Jiang Wen's gloomy expression faded a little, "Save this part, and don't tell anyone else."
The photographer hesitated for a moment, responded, and then asked hesitantly: "Director, what are you doing..."
Jiang Wen didn't answer him immediately, as if he was lost in thought. After a while, he sneered, "In case it comes in handy."
The photographer didn't dare to ask any more questions. He took a piece of dry cotton cloth to wipe the camera. When he looked up, he happened to see Xu Qiao who had returned from the dressing room.
In order to keep warm, the makeup artist originally planned to wrap him tightly with several layers of plastic wrap, but because it would somewhat affect his body shape, Xu Qiao refused and just put on a flowing white dress.
The already quiet set became even quieter when he walked out.
Guan Han and her agent were chatting and laughing, and their voices became increasingly abrupt in the extremely quiet studio. Sensing that something was wrong, Guan Han raised her head and looked in the direction of everyone's gaze.
The person who came out from the corner, his sleeves fluttering layer by layer, his skirt like a fluttering butterfly. He raised his head and looked at me with indifferent eyes, which reminded me of a black glass ball immersed in ice water.
Her white dress was whiter than snow, her figure was slender, her waist was thin, and her black hair fell behind her. She truly gave off an air of immortality.
The original novel uses sentences like "as if a light cloud covers the moon, as if snow is blown by the wind", "her figure is slender and graceful, and her height is just right." to describe Fairy Meng Xuan, comparing her to the Goddess of Luo River, describing her as unparalleled beauty with a stunning appearance.
Guan Han is certainly pretty, as evidenced by the popularity of several youth idol dramas she starred in. But it would be more accurate to describe her as the beauty of the class next door when she was in school.
She is fresh and attractive enough to be liked by others, but she is not fairy-like or spiritual, and she does not have the aloof and otherworldly temperament that a fairy like Meng Xuan should have.
In fact, Jiang Wen didn't really think about finding a female star who perfectly reproduced the original novel to play Meng Xuan. If the original novel said so, can it really be played like this? Then 99% of the TV series cannot be filmed.
There are so many beauties in novels and scripts. If we really select actors according to the standards in the books, how can we shoot? There is no way to shoot at all.
So as long as it’s not too different and totally deviates from the character, that’s fine.
Guan Han is delicate and beautiful, and has her own traffic, so what else can she ask for
But now Jiang Wen knew he was wrong. Why couldn't he restore it perfectly? Isn't there a ready-made one right in front of him
When she put on Jin'er's red dress, her face was as beautiful as a peach and plum, and she was charming. When she put on Meng Xuan's white dress, her figure was well-proportioned, cool and unworldly, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water and as cold as black ice.
So clean, so elegant.
The plasticity is so strong that it doesn't feel awkward to play the role of a female lead.
The actors around were so shocked that they didn't move for a long time. After a long time, they came to their senses, and their expressions were still a little dazed.
Mom, I saw a fairy.
This must be the fairy from heaven who doesn’t know the five grains of human world.
Many people couldn't help but secretly take out their mobile phones and took a few photos of Xu Qiao.
These little actions naturally did not escape Jiang Wen's eyes. It was a clear rule that no photos could be taken without permission in the crew, but now... Jiang Wen glanced at Xu Qiao, then at Guan Han who looked unhappy, but did not stop them.
Guan Han clenched the cup in her hand, looking unhappy. Even though she was very confident in her looks, she knew that she was completely crushed by Xu Qiao in a white dress.
Her vigilance suddenly reached its peak, and she finally understood where Li Chengxuan's taboo against Xu Qiao came from. She originally thought it was just a straw vase, but who would have thought that this vase had such magical power.
But what does it matter? No matter how good-looking he looks, he is just a stand-in for himself. When the film is finished, he can't even show his face, so how can the audience know what he looks like now
Thinking of this, Guan Han's expression became better.
Time was running out, so Jiang Wen summoned Xu Qiao Sicheng and several extras who would play the villains. He talked for a while about the movements in the water dungeon, rehearsed the fighting scenes several times in the open space, and then officially started filming.
Si Cheng walked into the water dungeon and hoisted it up again. When everything was in place, the stage manager hit the clapboard.
In the dark and damp dungeon, water droplets formed on the walls and dripped down.
The camera first gave an overall view of the water dungeon, then moved to Si Cheng, lingering on his handcuffed hands that drooped limply, and his bruised and purple face.
Suddenly, there was a sound of splashing water.
Si Cheng moved his fingers, his closed eyes trembled twice, and then he opened and looked in the direction of the sound.
The camera followed his gaze and moved over. The fairy in white standing in the water was otherworldly and seemed out of place in this water prison.
"Meng... Fairy." Si Cheng spoke vaguely and started coughing.
As soon as Xu Qiao stepped into the pool, she felt like she was going to freeze. It was cold, and she was wearing a thin skirt without any warming measures, so it took some effort to stop her body from shaking instinctively.
This body is not as good as the body in the world of books that has all kinds of strange abilities. He has overestimated his physical fitness.
Xu Qiao swept his cold gaze over Si Cheng, his brows like the heavy fog on the distant mountains.
The sound of clear flowing water was heard. In the dim water dungeon, there was only a small window the size of a palm on the top. The shallow sunlight came in and shone on Xu Qiao's pale face. The sunlight seemed to turn into moonlight, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by a layer of light smoke and mist, which seemed real and illusory, and he occupied the quietness of the sky and the earth.
Xu Qiao waved his hand, and the iron chain hanging Si Cheng broke.
At this moment, seven or eight people rushed into the water dungeon and besieged the two men.
The sound of running water suddenly became more intense. Xu Qiao's figure was as graceful as flowing water in the crowd. She pulled the powerless Si Cheng forward and backward in the crowd with a measured manner. Her white skirt fluttered, and the splashing water droplets were sharp.
Jiang Wen looked at the monitor and became more and more satisfied.
We all knew about Xu Qiao’s fighting scenes when he played Jin’er. His body balance, flexibility and control were all very good, and his various movements were very steady. What’s rare is that he was light enough and his posture was elegant, which was pleasing to the eye.
After the shooting was successfully completed, all Guan Han had to do next was add a few frontal shots of her face.
Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang Wen's face gradually faded.
Well, after post-editing, this clean and neat fighting scene with full body movements belonged to Guan Han.
After hearing the director shout "cut", Si Cheng called for someone to unlock the handcuffs on his hands and helped Xu Qiao out of the dungeon.
In the previous part, he was being pulled by Xu Qiao, and most of the movements were performed by Xu Qiao. One can imagine the amount of energy Xu Qiao consumed.
"Brother Xu Qiao, are you okay?" Si Cheng asked worriedly, looking at his pale face and wet clothes.
Xu Qiao nodded, but her body trembled uncontrollably. Li Feifei quickly took a dry towel and wrapped it around Xu Qiao, feeling distressed.
Jiang Wen personally brought over two bowls of ginger soup: "Hurry up, both of you, drink the ginger soup and change into dry clothes, and go to the rest room to rest. I'll have someone send two little suns over to warm up by the fire."
Si Cheng thanked him and took the two bowls of ginger soup, handing one to Xu Qiao: "Brother Xu Qiao, drink it quickly."
Seeing Xu Qiao trembling and unable to hold the ginger soup, Si Cheng pursed his lips and took the ginger soup from him. Seeing Xu Qiao's doubtful eyes, he hesitated for a moment, suppressed the urge to feed him himself, and gave the soup to Li Feifei: "You feed him."
Li Feifei responded and carefully fed her brother with the bowl.
After drinking the soup and taking off the wig, Li Feifei helped Xu Qiao to the rest room. Xu Qiao took some dry clothes and was about to go to the locker room to change when she heard Li Feifei's furious voice: "This bitch!"
Listening to Li Feifei's angry scolding, Xu Qiao curled his lips. It was the first time he heard such an evaluation from him. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Li Feifei looked like she was about to cry. She handed her phone to Xu Qiao and said, "Brother, take a look yourself!"
Xu Qiao took the phone and saw Guan Han’s Weibo homepage on the screen.
The latest Weibo post was posted ten minutes ago.
Guan Han: I'm here to guest star~ It's a water prison scene, are you looking forward to it? It's cold, everyone remember to keep warm, love you!
Two photos were attached, one was a selfie of her on the set, and the other was a picture of the water dungeon.
The number of comments below increased rapidly.
Ahhh, is it a fighting scene? I’m really looking forward to it!!!
It's so tiring for Hanhan to go into the water to film in such a cold weather. Hanhan must take care of herself and don't catch a cold!
The goose girl is awesome and dedicated, chirp chirp
This is Hanhan's first ancient costume look, I really want to see it
The water hasn't even entered the water yet. Fuck the professional character. Are you trying to disgust people? Is it possible that his brother suffered so much in the water, and he used it all as a gift for you
Li Feifei was so angry that she couldn't sit or stand, and was extremely anxious.
Xu Qiao returned the phone to him.
Li Feifei gnashed her teeth and said, "This bitch, bitch!!!"
"Fei Fei, is there a mirror?" Xu Qiao asked calmly.
Li Feifei's curse got stuck in her throat. She didn't know why Xu Qiao wanted a mirror, so she found one for him with a wronged look: "Brother, I'm so mad at you. I can't let her get away with it!"
Xu Qiao looked at himself in the mirror. There were still drops of water on his face and his lips were pale.
He stretched out his hand to Li Feifei: "Give me the hydrating spray in your bag."
Puzzled, Li Feifei took out a large bottle of hydrating spray from her bag.
Xu Qiao took it and sprayed it on his face and hair. The mist was dense, and Xu Qiao sprayed for a long time until the mist formed into water droplets and slid down his face.
Looking at the mirror, Xu Qiao rubbed his temples.
Now it looks like a disheveled person who just came out of the water.
Xu Qiao put down the mirror and asked Li Feifei: "Do I look miserable?"
Li Feifei did not hesitate: "It's tragic, it's tragic!"
"It's miserable." Xu Qiao smiled, sat on the chair, and wrapped herself tightly with the big towel, only accidentally revealing a little bit of the corner of her white skirt that would be invisible if no one paid attention.
