The crew of "Hidden Dragon" never expected that the moment the stills were released, the entire venue fell into an embarrassing silence.
The entertainment journalists who were originally very enthusiastic, looked at a loss in front of the freshly released lead actors and makeup photos. However, they are all professional anyway, and they quickly replied and followed the process. But that fleeting suspicion still exists.
Even many people didn't say anything on the surface, but they felt in their hearts that the drama "Qianlong" didn't need to watch the clips, but just looked at the makeup photos, and they felt that it was probably going to be cool.
This costume is too crude. The actor's makeup is even more indescribable. The key female lead is fine, but the male lead is too weird. What is it all about
I know it's to highlight the youthful feeling, but the main problem now is not the young age, but the forced pretending to be young!
Before looking again, they agreed on several important questions that they need to ask. One of them is how they feel compared with the presentation in the second dimension.
How can this feel? It must be the crew low! Those cosplayers in the second dimension, regardless of whether they are commercial performances or relying on love to generate electricity, there are two points for sure. First, when someone casts a character, they must have read the original text carefully. The costumes and makeup are all done with extreme care. Second, the late stage, this late stage is too important. It is said that the masters are among the folks, and Heisha's later team is definitely the type of folk masters. The photo was edited flawlessly, and Heisha itself looks good, making it look more like a flat person, coming to reality.
The key crew is also very confused. I'm afraid they're all fools, I've seen the pictures of cosplayer Heisha, why did I make the facade like this
And it's okay to make it like this, and asked them to ask such questions.
Where did the face come from? They can't ask.
These entertainment journalists all looked at each other, and none of them wanted to be the first to ask questions and throw out those mentally handicapped questions.
The reporter has this attitude, but the Internet has already started to criticize.
"Is this the fabled big production? I'm going to go blind with just one makeup photo!"
"What the hell is that little fresh meat? Don't tell me this is Ning Jin, the young master of Guangfeng Jiyue!!"
"This isn't Ning Jin at all, okay? Look at this big, round figure, angular face, and greasy temperament. At such an age, don't come out ashamed, go back and play his greasy president, no?" okay?"
"I'm going to throw up! Don't just see the male protagonist's ragged clothes. Look at the female protagonist, what is that on top of her head? A big fork for eating instant noodles?"
"I can't bear it anymore, just looking at this makeup photo, I will definitely not watch this drama."
"The most insane drama this year has already been released, and it's "Dragon"."
On Weibo, the TV drama sections of the major entertainment forums are full of posts criticizing the crew of "Qianlong".
However, the press conference of "Hiding Dragon" has just been halfway through.
"What's going on?" The chief investor looked at the online reviews, and couldn't hide his anger in an instant.
"Me, we don't know too well." The subordinates were also confused, completely confused about what the source of the complaints on the Internet was.
Compared with other crews in the first half of the year, the costumes of "Qianlong" are already very sophisticated. And they are fictional in ancient times. The headgear on the heroine's makeup photo is also a very common style in fictional dramas. It has never been complained about by others before, so why did they switch to them
However, what they didn't expect was that after the full movie was released, the scolding did not decrease, but increased.
As the saying goes, success is also martial arts, and failure is also martial arts. Originally, the happy rivers and lakes in "Qianlong" are some fans who believe that they can crush "Sinking" at the root, but when it is filmed in three dimensions, the insurmountable dimensional wall between reality and the two-dimensional dimension has led to these outrages. The plot has become the biggest failure.
The special effects of fifty cents, the rubbish martial arts moves of the actors, and the fight has no feeling at all. The point is that there are good-looking martial arts movies in China, but those martial arts movies are accompanied by real big investments, which rely on money to pile up. And their kind of TV series can't be piled up at all.
There are more than forty episodes. If each episode is as piled up as a movie in the screen circle, I am afraid that the investors will be dragged down by the funds before the filming of the show is finished.
But in the end, this is the truth. For the audience, these reasons cannot be an excuse for the show to be bad.
"I feel sorry for the director and the post-production, it's already a godly edit, but that can't handle the lack of money and the actors' acting garbage!"
"I only feel sorry for the author of "The Hidden Dragon". Have you seen the main line of this piece of flowers? The screenwriter is probably an idiot!"
"I'm going crazy. With so much publicity in the early stage, I thought I was going to do a good job this time, but the more I hoped, the more disappointed I was."
"Actually, you don't need to think about it at all. As far as these IP dramas are concerned, half of the investment is the actor's salary, plus the publicity, and there is only a little left who can do the drama. If the actors themselves are not good, they will not Can't see it."
"Hey, I'm suddenly worried about "Sinking" in the afternoon. Compared with the character design, Yuan Jiu and Qi Fan are far worse."
It can be said that there was a lot of scolding.
As popular as "Hidden Dragon" was before, it is now full of scolding. But the crew of "Hidden Dragon" is still far from understanding where the mistakes are.
Seeing the wind direction getting more and more biased, Guan Bo had no choice but to give an explanation. For example, the origin of costume design, such as the reason for casting. It looks high-sounding and seems to make sense.
But just a ruined design is already unforgivable for book fans. What kind of textual research you have is completely useless. Originally they were just scolding in their respective circles, but now they all gathered under the official book.
"What the hell is the textual research, I'm afraid those who obey Huadao are not blind, [picture] [picture] the screenshot of the original clothing description protects your face. Compare it yourself, can this be compared to those broken sacks?"
"Is there any basis for choosing an actor? I'm afraid I'm farting! Let me ask you, what is the difference between a beautiful young man who is beautiful and beautiful, and a greasy old man who is almost thirty? You see Looking at that waist, it doesn't fit at all."
"When it comes to talking nonsense with open eyes, I will obey the crew of "Qianlong"!"
The backlash from fans of the original book is far greater than what they imagined at the beginning. The chief investor was sitting in the office, watching the reactions on the Internet, and immediately couldn't sit still.
As far as the current trend is concerned, it goes without saying that it is definitely cool. The point is, he never expected that the traffic he had worked so hard to provide to Qianlong's original work, now the traffic has become a big hand that pushes the crew into the abyss, leaving them almost no room to breathe.
"It's going to be bad if it goes on like this." The subordinate was already sweating anxiously.
"You don't need to say it! I can see it too!" The chief investor didn't even have the energy to curse. But after a short period of calmness, he thought of Yun Zheng again.
It stands to reason that Yunzheng invested a lot in publicity in the early stage, and he used a set of promotional models. Now that they are being scolded, then Yunzheng's "Sinking" will only get worse. Because compared with their big crew, the crew members of "Sinking", from the director, screenwriter to actors, are all old and transparent grassroots.
"Hehe, don't worry! We will definitely not be the only ones who fail." Thinking of this, the mentality of the chief investor also began to distort.
But immediately after, the opening press conference of the crew of "Sinking" severely slapped his face swollen.
Who would have thought that the press conference of "Sinking" was completely different from the traditional mode in the public's perception, and it turned out to be held in the mode of webcast. The invited reporters are all Internet entertainment journalists, and at the same time, in order to allow the majority of netizens to see the specific situation of the crew at the first time, the official book of "Sinking" stated that the launch conference will be in real time. Live broadcast on the three network broadcasting platforms. As Yunzheng's old club, Zero Hour Platform also gave a big helping hand this time. Separately opened up a live broadcast room for "Sinking", live broadcasting the whole process of the launch conference.
"Wow! This is great! You don't need to wait for Yuji to transfer the photos, right?"
"But having said that, I don't have much expectations after watching the garbage makeup photos and trailers of "Hidden Dragon"."
"At any rate, it's a modern drama. I only hope that "Sinking" can be done without being so outrageous."
After the blow of "Hidden Dragon", many people's expectations for "Sinking" have also dropped a lot.
But when the live broadcast started, their eyes lit up immediately!
interesting.
It is different from the process of the general crew's launch conference. There is no one who sinks up, but directly cuts into a piece of music.
It was a piece of weird, ethereal, original music that was enough to make the bones tremble with chills. Immediately afterwards, a young man in a black loose shirt with a cigarette in his mouth came out from behind the scenes.
Too long bangs covered his bright and shrewd eyes, and the smoke added another layer of mystery to him. Even the way he walks is subtle. A handful of bones that are obviously thin, but the sensitivity and explosive power hidden inside can still make people instinctively feel dread.
And just after he stood still, a makeup photo immediately fell on the screen behind him, which was the photo of Yuan Jiu as the actor of Qi Fan.
"Hi everyone, I'm Yuan Jiu, but now, I'm also Qi Fan."
Those Internet entertainment journalists were immediately dumbfounded. In the live broadcast rooms of various platforms, the bullet screen was silent for several seconds, and then a huge exclamation broke out.
"Pray for Fan!"
"Qi Fan! This is Qi Fan!"
"My God, fans of the original book are satisfied."
"My mother, didn't you say it was played by Yuan Jiu? How could it be so similar?"
"Yuan Jiu has lost weight, can't you see it? I am convinced of plastic surgery acting skills, really convinced."
And this is just the beginning, no one expected that the host of this press conference would also be Yuan Jiu.
"After all, we are relatively poor, so the director team said that I can't afford the host, so I want to make a guest appearance. Next, please allow me to introduce other actors for you." Simple opening remarks, without a word of nonsense, but Yuan Jiubi Usually teenagers would have a deeper voice, but it coincided with the background music everywhere. Coupled with the clothes on his body, it is even more confusing whether it is Yuan Jiu or Qi Fan in the original book who is standing here.
And the heroines and main supporting roles who also appeared in costumes in the back, every one of them, made people gasp in amazement and shock.
No one expected that a grassroots crew like "Sinking" could restore all the settings in the original work so powerfully. Even the details such as the color of the phone ring with the heroine's hair tied up are meticulously noticed.
"My mother, I'm going to cry. Is this really an online drama? It's too conscientious!"
"Qi Fan's cigarettes, Meng Qing's hairstyle, Wang Lengzi's tattoos, Police Officer Li's police uniform with patched cuffs...it's really awesome, it's 100% restored, and I'm crazy about the actors and kimono girls, sisters and brothers! "
"I just came back from the production press conference of "Hidden Dragon", and now I see "Sinking" here, and I feel so sad that I want to cry."
"I was so touched that I wanted to cry. Thanks to the director team of "Sinking", I didn't ruin a classic."
Different from the scolding received by the crew of "Hidden Dragon", "Sinking" can be said to have received more praise. Every time a makeup photo and an actor come out, a wave of screens will be swiped, and even the few unknown supporting roles have won a lot of praise.
"..."
At this moment, the chief investor of the production team of "Hidden Dragon" has been completely silent. After watching the set makeup photos of "Sinking", I directly compared the service of "Qianlong" to the actors. He himself was slapped so hard that he even wanted to scold the street.
What a f*cking web drama you are, you made it even more refined than a historical drama! Are you going crazy
But they never expected that after the film crew of "Sinking" released later, they couldn't even find out where the face was.
Decadence and depression are the overall tone of the film "Sinking". But this feeling of oppression, unexpectedly, does not make people feel suffocated, so they want to escape the disgust. Instead, it will be transformed into a desire to break through the siege.
And under such a tone, the hero and the heroine are constantly looking for clues, falling into the vortex of one after another. Sinking in the fog, longing to catch the light that represents the truth.
"Deceit and betrayal, acting and deceit, life and death, you will never guess, who is telling the truth and who is telling lies..." At the end of the film, Yuan Jiu's deep voice with a sigh, and the treacherous music , directly aroused everyone's desire for feature films.
shock!
There are no so-called gorgeous special effects, and there are no overly exaggerated editing and post-editing techniques. But the feeling of the whole paragraph is completely consistent with the text of the novel "Sinking".
That kind of eloquent narrative rhythm, that kind of seemingly ordinary but frightening detail arrangement, all make fans of the original work feel a sense of happiness that has been satisfied to the extreme. It seems to be a picture made up in the book, completely presented on the screen.
Even the part due to scale modification and the addition of original characters are not in the slightest abrupt. Not only will it not affect the plot, but it will make the whole drama look more plump and three-dimensional. Even the occasional bit of obscurity in the original work has been completely revised and made round and perfect.
"I'm going to cry happily, I'm really a conscientious crew!"
"The adaptation is better than the original, my mother, I'm almost dying!"
"Who said it was a grassroots crew before? With this strength, could it be made by an ordinary grassroots crew? Not to mention, among these actors, except for the hero and heroine, they are all new actors! Except for their own excellent quality , the director's training ability can also be seen to be mediocre!"
"I've watched the clip three times, but I can't speak until now. I said before that Yuan Jiu is not suitable for Qi Fan. Now I have been really beaten in the face, and Yuan Jiu's acting skills have exploded! Live Qi Fan!"
"Luo Yaoyao is also working very hard. She should have gained weight in order to fit Mengqing's personality better. But I am fascinated that her current baby face is so cute, I want to pinch it."
"The post-production music is really troublesome. The atmosphere is quite good. In comparison, the other side of "Hiding Dragon" is simply scum!"
"Sinking" was full of praise, and the press conference was a great success. But on the other side of the crew of "Hidden Dragon", they suffered a crushing defeat and fell into complete silence.
"Tell me! Why is this?" The chief investor's face sank, and he felt that his anger was almost uncontrollable. In fact, according to the amount of investment, "Hidden Dragon" and "Sinking" should be similar. After all, it is a set of tactics. But the two diametrically opposite endings now made him completely unacceptable.
However, those subordinates did not dare to take over at all. It wasn't until the end that someone mustered up the courage to say such a sentence.
"We should have been tricked." He looked at the face of the chief investor, and continued to analyze: "In the beginning, Shen Shen set up a trick. The voice-over of his non-character film was originally composed by Yuan Jiu. In addition , There is also a saying on that cover, that figure from the back should also be Yuan Jiu."
"In "Sinking", a psychological hint was given to readers from the very beginning, that is, Yuan Jiu's figure is the figure that Qi Fan should have. Yuan Jiu's voice is Qi Fan's voice. So even if there is a king's cosplay They won't be afraid of Zhuyu in front of them. But on the side of "Qianlong"..."
"Heisha is too good, and preconceived, it seems that we can't do it. In addition, Yuan Jiu was born in a professional class, and his acting skills are good. When he played Ming Lu, he was trained by Director Li. Although Luo Yaoyao is the second female of Wannian, but she The acting skills are also remarkable. This is something our leading actors cannot compare with.
"And that director... I asked Director Wang, and he said that he is a buried talent. So..." Speaking of this, the subordinate was a little afraid to say.
"So what?" The chief investor laughed angrily.
The subordinate swallowed and spat out seven words with difficulty, "We should have lost."
"Understood, let's all go back!"
After hearing this sentence, the chief investor was unexpectedly not angry. The subordinates went down tremblingly. However, after he left, the chief investor showed a tired look on his face.
In fact, what the subordinates said, they also understood in their hearts. But in the end, he was still unwilling to be teased by a teenager. But looking back at the series of propaganda methods of the "Sinking" crew, even if he is not convinced now, he has to sigh,
What a Yunzheng, what a Linglong thought.
This time, he did lose.
—
Among the positive reviews on the Internet, the launch conference of "Sinking" can be said to be a great success. After the director team became well-known, Yun Zheng also became famous in the circle. The related matters after starting up have also become step-by-step. Therefore, after Yun Zheng solved this matter, he was finally able to calm down and do some things of his own.
Recently, Yunzheng has added another course in the artisan space, which is calligraphy. However, the copybook given is extremely peculiar, not any common font in the world. Moreover, the order and method of teaching are still very messy. Today Yunzheng was asked to learn running script, and tomorrow he was forced to practice regular script.
However, facing this situation, Yun Zheng has no good way. The craftsman space of the system is very domineering. Since the time outside is always static when studying inside, the system forcibly requires that if Yunzheng's learning level is not up to standard, he will not let Yunzheng come out of the space.
And Yun Zheng tried to communicate several times, but did not get any response. In the end, you can only follow the arrangement.
Fortunately, Yun Zheng was very interested in these things in his previous life, so the systematic compulsory teaching did not bring him too much trouble. Instead, it made him more and more excited.
Moreover, in order to strengthen his practice, Yunzheng also allocated a lot of time during the day to practice meticulous painting and calligraphy. In this way, life is more fulfilling than when I was busy before.
As the Chinese New Year approached, Ling Xiang, who had just received his report card, was also summoned home by his eldest brother from Yanjing.
"You really don't want to keep me anymore?" Thinking that after leaving, it will be New Year's Eve before he can eat Yunzheng's cooking again, Ling Xiang wished that he could become a pendant and stick to Yunzheng's body anytime and anywhere.
Faced with his plaintive tone, Yun Zheng was a little helpless, but before he could speak, Gu Yan gave Ling Xiang a cold look, and Ling Xiang immediately stood up straight, turned around and got into the car.
"So when do you plan to go back to Yanjing?" After sending Ling Xiang away, Yun Zheng returned to the room and suddenly asked Gu Yan.
Yun Zheng had thought before that if Gu Yan went back, then he would just go back to the orphanage to live for a while. Although now I go back two or three times a week, but after all, the Chinese New Year is coming, and there are a lot of things to prepare for the New Year, as well as gifts for teachers and children, etc. Yun Zheng worries that the old director will not be able to do it alone.
But Gu Yan replied calmly: "I won't go back."
"?" Yun Zheng was surprised.
But the irony in Gu Yan's eyes became deeper.
"I haven't celebrated the New Year at Gu's house since I moved abroad. And..." He paused, and put his arms around Yunzheng: "With you here, I won't go anywhere."
What Gu Yan said was extremely serious, and Yun Zheng felt even more distressed when he mentioned his family.
In fact, when Gu Yan was kidnapped, neither Gu Yan himself nor Ling Xiang talked about it very vaguely. But Yun Zheng is not a fool, so he can naturally understand the hurdles.
I'm afraid that back then, some members of the Gu family also participated in it. Otherwise, how could Gu Yan, as the heir of the Gu family clearly pointed out by Mr. Gu, be kidnapped by a tutor and hide for so long without being discovered
So now, maybe there is no evidence, or maybe it's because of the blood relationship, so Gu Yan can't take action to punish him, and he simply doesn't go home for the New Year.
Forget it, Yun Zheng changed his mind and felt that Gu Yan would not go back unless he went back. The new year of those rich and powerful families is probably not interesting, and they may have to socialize everywhere, and they are too busy to eat well.
My little milk dog has suffered so many crimes before, and finally got a little fat recently, so why go back and ruin her body again.
Thinking of this, Yun Zheng didn't ask any more questions, instead he pulled Gu Yan to discuss the arrangements for the New Year at the orphanage.
Just talking, the two rubbed against each other again. Now that the old butler is sending Ling Xiang to the airport, there are only the two of them at home, so Gu Yan's movements are much more relaxed than before. Even when asking for a kiss, he did it more openly, quite a bit arrogantly.
"It's almost done!" It would be night if the trouble continued. Yun Zheng knocked on his head once, signaling Gu Yan to be more honest, but there was more indulgent smile in his eyes than usual, but he didn't mean to blame him at all.
And Gu Yan already clearly understood Yun Zheng's weakness, so he hugged him even more aggressively and did not let go. In the end, even when he fell asleep, he wanted to occupy Yun Zheng and not let him go anywhere.
"You are really..." Looking helplessly at this Gu Yan who has been spoiled more and more clingy by him recently, Yun Zheng finally deeply realized what a sweet burden is.
But even so, he didn't have any good solutions. Who made him like this!
The time with Gu Yan always passes quickly. Seeing that there are less than ten days left before the Chinese New Year. The New Year's goods at the orphanage, Yun Zheng has already helped to prepare almost. And the annual feast of Internet celebrities is getting closer and closer.
On this day, Yun Zheng was discussing the details of the annual feast with Gu Yan, but in the middle of the conversation, he was interrupted by the old housekeeper who came in.
"What's the matter?" Gu Yan asked, and took the invitation from the old housekeeper. But as soon as he took it apart and took a look, his expression became meaningful.
This invitation is a bit interesting.
