Because the first season of "The Crown" was a big success, the second season's episodes also quickly established a team, which is much better than the first season.
In the first season, they could only go to a remote castle to shoot, and many scenes seemed a bit repetitive. But the second season is different. Some investors have lent out their private estates to ensure beautiful scenery and convenient transportation.
Mei Zihan originally thought that he was considered rich, but after seeing this kind of manor, he deeply felt that he was really poor.
Capitalism is a bad thing, it is too corrosive to the minds of socialist successors.
Keke, far away.
The budget for the second season is more than that of the first season, and the actors cooperate more tacitly than before. Whether it is a series of promotions or broadcasting, the follow-up orders have been finalized early. And because the audience's voice for the second season is too high, so I plan to film and broadcast it at the same time. I hired several screenwriters to revise the script, and almost every protagonist has a fixed line. The screenwriter is in charge.
As a popular character in the first season, Mei Zihan won the Best Supporting Actor again, so the treatment he received was not bad.
"Mei, you must come to this fashion week. I have prepared several sets of clothes for you." Jefferson also won the best costume design award in the last season, and this time he is still the chief designer of the TV series. . Not only that, he also brought several students to help.
When those students saw Mei Zihan, they all cheered a little, but Jefferson was embarrassed to come up and ask for autographs and group photos. Hey, thank God, I didn't expect the teacher to bring them here this time. It turned out to be the crew of "The Crown". If they didn't sign a non-disclosure agreement, I really want to show off on Twitter.
Mei Zihan thought of Jefferson's show clothes, and there was something hard to explain on his face, but he nodded in agreement. After all, he doesn't have any movies or TV shows in China right now, so it's good to catch some fashion week news.
The second season of "The Crown" is a little more content than Will previously planned.
The salaries of many supporting characters in the first season have also risen, but Will has no plans to stop the grind and kill the donkey. Those actors also knew what the second season of "The Crown" meant, and they didn't dare to open their mouths even if the salary was increased. Therefore, the original cast basically played the role.
Mei Zihan needs to play two roles in the second season.
One is the original Feng, and the other is Feng's twin brother, the vampire Dragon.
The character setting of the dragon is a little more three-dimensional than before.
Will originally wanted Mei Zihan to win an award for his excellent performance in the second season, but he didn't expect Mei Zihan to be so talented that he won the best supporting actor in a TV series in the first season. Then, the characters in the second season don't need to be too exaggerated to show off the actors.
The shape of the phoenix is only modified on the basis of the original one, but the shape of the vampire dragon has not yet been decided. Not long after Mei Zihan finished chatting with Jefferson, he was caught in the dressing room and began to toss about the vampire's look.
In fact, there are too many vampire shapes in film and television dramas, but the general style is still unified. But Jefferson was not very willing to make the dragon look too conformist. After all, dragons and phoenixes are oriental, even if they wear vampire costumes, they shouldn't be all tuxedos like western vampires.
How about changing the robe that Feng is wearing to black and adding some buttons
Thinking of this, Jefferson quickly came up with the corresponding costume design in his mind, and began to call on his students to come over and prepare materials.
"Mei, you are a little fatter than in the first season, you'd better lose weight in these few days." Jefferson replied after measuring Mei Zihan's body data, "In the second season, the dragon will be bigger than the phoenix." More powerful and thinner, so you not only have to be thin, but also have lines."
Mei Zihan smiled embarrassedly.
He really had a bit too comfortable these days.
But there is no way, Jiang Ying has recently started to learn how to make chocolate desserts, they are so delicious. Dessert is a combination of honey and arsenic for actors.
But it would be too torturous for Mei Zihan to watch Jiang Ying making dessert and then refuse to eat it.
Jiang Ying had no choice but to make the dessert sugar-free and cream-free, so she managed to maintain Mei Zihan's figure. And in recent days, in order to let Mei Zihan consume more physical strength, Mei Zihan also took the initiative to use more postures when completing the great harmony of life.
Of course, such words are not enough for outsiders.
The shape of the dragon took about two days to complete.
Feng's long hair is basically loose or partly tied. On the other hand, the dragon wore a high ponytail, and his whole person was much smarter and sharper. The raised eyeliner added a bit of weird charm, looking dangerous and deadly.
After the makeup photo was taken, Mei Zihan wiped his sweat and took off his clothes.
Damn, he was about to be strangled to death, and his waist was too narrow, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
After the first day of filming, Will and his wife Martha sneaked into Mei Zihan's room like thieves.
Well, Jiang Ying went out to see Teacher Armand, and she won't be back for a while.
"Director, Mrs. Martha, why are you here?" Mei Zihan felt very curious. Jiang Ying told them when she went out today.
"If Jiang hadn't gone out, we wouldn't have come to find you." Will rolled his eyes, "Little Martha said she wanted to discuss something with you."
"What is it?" Mei Zihan knew that in the director's house, Mrs. Martha had always been in charge. What she said, Will said nothing.
"The second season of "The Crown", do you want Jiang to also film?" Martha is a very neat person, and she explained her intentions straight to the point.
Mei Zihan was stunned.
"You have a way?"
Of course he thought, he wanted to shoot with Jiang Ying even in his dreams, okay? But Jiang Ying said that if he promised his father, he could not go back on his word, and he didn't let go on the bed. In fact, it's fine for him to talk to Dad, or cry to Dad at worst! Jiang Ying is good at everything, but her personality is too upright to be soft.
As for Jiang Ying's beautiful face, if he cried to his father, let alone acting, his father could take off the stars in the sky for him.
Of course, if Mei Zihan's eyes were red, Mei Zihan would go through life and death for him.
"Jiang has his own ideas. It is absolutely impossible for us to want him to appear on TV officially. But we can use a special method." Martha briefly explained what she meant.
It turns out that when Martha and Will were discussing the plot of the second season, they planned to add a character such as the Holy Son of the Holy See.
This holy son is different from those sanctimonious priests. He is a truly good person. He has dedicated his life to God and has many believers. His face was disfigured from saving an army attacked by vampires and witches, and his voice was hoarse from reciting the Bible for the dead. In order not to be scary, I have been practicing with a mask on.
But precisely because of the actions of the Holy Son, the believers have extremely high expectations for him, and even hope that the Pope of this term will die of old age and replace the Holy Son as soon as possible.
"This role will only appear at the end of the second and third seasons, and the total playing time will not exceed ten minutes. The actor must have a great aura and a pair of eyes that can talk. Because the Holy Son is from the beginning to the end. If you cover your face, you can only rely on your eyes for all activities." Martha said, looking at Mei Zihan expectantly, "Jiang doesn't show up, no one knows who he is. Even the actor on the cast list A name, or just a code name."
Not being exposed in front of anyone, not showing up, not only allows Jiang Ying to enjoy the fun of acting, but also does not make it difficult to leave because she is too deeply involved in the play.
"When I conceived this character, my first thought was Jiang." Martha took a deep breath, "Mei, no one knows better than you what an excellent actor Jiang is, but he can only play as an actor in other professions all his life." To be alive and not be able to be on his stage is just too cruel."
Why didn't Mei Zihan know
It's just that it's easy to persuade Dad, but it's difficult to persuade Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying was a person who said one thing and said another, and Mei Zihan had already experienced this. When Jiang Ying said she would refuse premarital sex, Mei Zihan's seduction plans failed countless times.
For Jiang Ying, not acting is not only a promise to his father, but also a promise to himself.
Even if he has such a thought in his heart all the time, he can restrain himself.
Such a person is called principled if he agrees, and he is called principled if he disagrees.
But Mei Zihan felt hopelessly that even if Jiang Ying made Tianji, she would be willing to follow behind him.
"Thank you." Mei Zihan still decided to give it a try, "I will make it happen. If Jiang Ying really agrees, I, I will lose another five catties!"
"Haha, good." Director Will couldn't help laughing when he heard Mei Zihan's words, and smiled ambiguously at Mei Zihan, "Then I'm looking forward to your results. By the way, Mei, in fact, there are Lots of nice places where you can have fun with Ginger. Every time Martha won't agree to my rude request, as long as I... ummmm..."
Director Will was dragged away by Mrs. Martha who felt very ashamed.
Really, Mei and Jiang are reserved and shy orientals, and they don't know where and who to talk to at all! Don't even think about the actor who plays the role of the Holy Son if you teach people badly.
As everyone knows, Mei Zihan's eyes lit up after Director Will finished speaking.
Aww, does the director mean that he can seduce with beauty? As expected of an open and enthusiastic American, this idea is commendable.
Alas, it's a pity that the director was dragged away too early, and he hasn't asked anything useful yet. Why don't you secretly send a text message to the director later, and ask about the director's experience and other little secrets.
