A week later, "Jinyuqiwai" held its opening ceremony.
During the event, in addition to the traditional act of worshiping the gods and gods, the most important thing is to invite major media to the scene to release the promotional information of the movie, including the outline of the story, the introduction of character candidates, and a small makeup promotion.
Therefore, after offering sacrifices to the sky, Bai Lang also received a costume belonging to the protagonist "Li Chuanqing". When all the important characters in the play put on their costumes and lined up on the stage, Bai Lang understood Zhu Kuan's plan somewhat.
There are so many elements to a movie that can play out without being able to captivate audiences with an actor's reputation; unique storytelling, fantastic special effects, even quirky editing, and more. And there is a kind of movie, even if you don't have an impression of the actors' performance after watching it, the costumes, atmosphere and scene arrangement in it will leave a deep image in the audience's mind. At this time, as long as the actors perform evenly, the movie can still achieve Xiaohong's results.
In the "Golden" drama, the tension of the story similar to the prince's distress is enough, and there is also a lesser-known tailor's theme, which is entertaining and fresh, but there is still a lack of an element to attract audiences to the theater. And this time, Zhu Kuan should have chosen "Visual Effects".
This clue can be seen from the fact that the opening ceremony abandoned the hotel venue that is generally used, and instead rented the warehouse of a furniture company to hold it.
With limited funds, all kinds of high-end furniture have been used in the warehouse to create a graceful and luxurious retro-style flower hall. High-hanging crystal lamps, palace-style brocade curtains, embroidered high-back chairs and fringed throw pillows, etc., are almost the first scene in the movie. Combined with the heavily decorated and even slightly exaggerated costumes on the actors, the visual impact immediately expresses the film's features.
Even Shen Airu, who plays the heroine, cannot be called absolutely glamorous with facial features, but under the contrast of the clothes and background, it is extraordinarily dazzling. The wavy retro micro-curly short method, the dark green silk forged dress, the beige fur shawl, and a set of pink pearls glowing with soft light, when the makeup is set, it immediately kills a lot of negatives.
On the other hand, Bai Lang changed clothes quickly, and had already appeared one step earlier. At this moment, Shen Airu was slightly surprised and stiff. With a slight smile, he stepped forward and handed out his left elbow in a gentlemanly manner.
The actions that were not in the arrangement made Shen Airu stunned for a moment, and her eyes couldn't help but move to Bai Lang, who was wearing a dark dress.
He was tall and straight, with a smile on his face. In the luxurious and dazzling flower hall, the crystal lamps glow with warm tones, and Bai Lang's eyes are warm and elegant as he looks down. It seems that he is really like the protagonist in the movie who was originally unattainable, but still looks like a dream after he is down. "Li Chuanqing".
Shen Airu's heart couldn't help beating fast for a beat or two, just like the gentle gentleman who was drawn closer to her line of sight, she stretched out her hand ignorantly and lightly placed it on the elbow that Bai Lang held out.
Immediately, the spotlight of "Pacha Pacha" flashed wildly.
Many media chose to use Bai Lang and Shen Airu's gentle and loving gaze as a behind-the-scenes photo to introduce the movie "Jin Yu Qi Wai", which was well received.
It is a pity that this news did not climb the headlines of the movie version.
The headline of this day is the report of "Fengdi" which was selected to start on the same good day.
◇◇◇
"Long live, Bai Lang has a new play, I must watch it!"
"As soon as people become popular, they will look better and better. This sentence is true. This white Lang in the newspaper is so handsome."
"That's for sure. I fell in love with Jiang Xincheng since then. Sure enough, I have a unique eye. Oh, don't you think that Shen Airu is very beautiful, what show she was on before, I just thought it was ordinary, no Thinking of standing next to Bai Lang in such a dress, it's pretty decent."
"The art director is strong, and the setting is also very elegant. It's gorgeous, Enen, it seems to be worth seeing..."
"Anyway, I'll definitely watch it, hehe, as for the 'Fengdi' you mentioned, I don't think it seems to be serious, although there are all kinds of things, but those coup d'etat wars and so on, I always feel that I can't get enough."
"Please, the focus of 'Fengdi' is acting. The director is not Li Ziyuan, but Qu Quan is in it, but it's very difficult to act from young to old, and he doesn't play any fancy and gorgeous, ten-on-ten strengths. "
"Hey, are you saying that my Bai Langhua is untrue! Think about those UNI feather coats in your closet, who accompany you to snatch them."
"Good eldest sister, that's not what I meant. I mean, the two movies are going in different directions. One is for entertainment, and the other is for in-depth viewing."
"I don't understand what you said. I'll just see what I want to see. If you don't go to see Bai Lang with me, I won't accompany you to see Emperor Feng."
"Come out, I'm also very interested in Bai Lang's movie. Maybe there will be surprises in the small production..."
◇◇◇
The effect of "Jinyuqiwai" and "Fengdi" starting on the same day made some film and television reviews just like the reactions of many movie fans mentioned above, and inexplicably compared these two films that were inextricably linked. .
The reason why the film and television critics do this is mainly to emphasize that the large production, large lineup and anticipation of the "Fengdi" drama are absolutely different from ordinary movies.
After all, in "Feng Di", apart from the famous director Li Ziyuan, the film kings are below Ququan, the heroine is Fei Hong, the newly released actress in the last year, and the male supporting roles include first-line niche student Ouyang Xian, veteran actor Jiang Yiliang, and many more. Popular artists to help out, the lineup is so luxurious that anyone who needs to say a few words at the opening ceremony may cause trouble.
Among them, the more subtle connection between the two films is that the role of the important villain "Guang Shi" in "Fengdi" was originally intended to be played by Que Qiming, who is also highly qualified and has excellent acting skills. Just after a few wrestling, the role of "Guangxi" was suddenly replaced by Jiang Yiliang. While everyone was still speculating about the reason, Que Qi's name was announced to take the role of "Jin Yu Qi Wai".
At this moment, the two films "collided" again, and some of the comments were full of gossip.
But no matter what, even if "Jin Yu Qi Wai" is not invincible in this comparison, the fame has hitched a ride with "Feng Di", and it has risen a lot, with the retro and gorgeous visuals of Bai Lang and Shen Airu. 's promotional photos, the comment trend is to praise "Fengdi", and most of the "Golden" dramas will also comment on something worth looking forward to. It was a surprise.
◇◇◇
After the "Golden" drama was launched, the filming schedule was very tight due to limited funds.
After all, many luxurious furniture and mansions are used in the play, which are all rented by the owners from related manufacturers. One more day's delay is one day's rent. The cost is not low, so Zhu Kuan will never waste the time that can be saved. There was a lot of tension in the beginning.
Seeing this, Bai Lang was not worried.
He has no way of knowing when the shortage of funds will break out, but if the situation is to worsen to the point where Zhu Kuan and the owner Shen Qinglin have to announce that they will stop filming and then inject funds, the situation may not be able to be saved, so he entered Zhu Kuan before that. The circle of friends, and getting some information in advance, became the means that Bai Lang had to take.
It's just that in this life, Bai Lang is no longer an unlucky star, but is the most famous in the crew except for Que Qi, who is treated with courtesy by everyone in the crew. Under such conditions, Zhu Kuan's way of treating himself is polite. alienated a lot.
And with Zhu Kuan's temperament, he's not afraid of getting acquainted with it after a long time, but Bai Lang didn't dare to let the time go by like this. In his previous life, Bai Lang had a deep impression on Zhu Kuan, and his habit of eating late-night snacks. Therefore, Zhu Kuan Yuan Yuan's big beer belly was small and large ten years ago, and Bai Lang was not surprised when he first saw it.
So after a few scenes, Bai Lang started to bring his own food box to eat on the set.
The reason is due to the physical condition. I am not used to eating out food mixed with flavor, so I have to prepare my own food to fill my stomach.
Even if this was immediately interpreted by some people as a specific performance of playing a big name, Bai Lang brought his own food without bothering others, and even Bai Lang remembered to prepare an extra portion to share, and there was a limit to picking mistakes. It's just that at the beginning, no one dared to respond except Hong Hong, who was already used to it. After a few times, the first person to wait was not the fat Zhu Kuan, but the extremely thin Que Qiming.
At dinner time, Que Qiming slowly came over with a bento, and Sven asked, "Mr. Bai, I think your dish should be a local dish from T, right?"
Que Qiming is in his early 60s, and his appearance is gentle and upright; he must have been good-looking when he was young. This time, for the "Gold" drama, he dyed his hair white, and he was even more noble. And he is playing the role of the fourth uncle "Li Haiyun" who kicked the protagonist "Li Chuanqing" from heaven to the bottom of the valley and bullied him all the way. In the whole movie, the opponent scene with Bai Lang is comparable to the first male supporting role.
"Senior Que is very polite, just call me Alang. You guessed right, this is the T dish. If you don't mind, would you like to order it?" Bai Lang smiled upon hearing this.
"Hey, then I'll be too cheeky to be polite to you. You also call me Que Lao," Que Qiming said jokingly, "To be honest, I've been looking at your food box for several days, and I'm envious. tight."
Bai Lang has never been in contact with Que Qiming in his previous life, and he doesn't know who he is. In addition, the unspoken rule in the entertainment industry is that if the famous person takes the initiative to look for it, there is no problem; if the famous person takes the initiative to look for it, it is to gain a relationship, so Bai Lang had a relationship with Que before. Its attitude is also cautious.
At this moment, Que Qi's name showed goodwill, and Bai Lang naturally followed the trend and hurriedly opened the extra prepared food box. The golden crispy fried food is placed in a clean round food box, and the green lettuce is matched, and the appearance is quite good.
Bai Lang also asked Hong Hongduo to pour a cup of warm wheat tea in a thermos and handed it to Que Qiming. "I'm allergic to flavorings, so I have to trouble myself and do it myself. It sounds like Mr. Que should be a gourmet too, and he recognized the coriander squid at a glance."
Que Qiming did not refuse and happily accepted it. "Thank you, you are very thoughtful. I was filming in T City for a while. At that time, I had this dish on the table, but I was afraid to eat it. I miss it a little bit today."
Bai Lang smiled and said, "It should be the 'Scream' filmed by Mr. Que at the harbour, right? We locals recognized the location at a glance." After the cast list was finalized, Bai Lang naturally found it. Judging from the film works of Que Qi's name, this is also one of Bai Lang's early preparations.
That's why Que Qi's name was quite surprised, "That's an old movie, so you've seen it?"
Bai Lang was a little embarrassed, "Hey, I looked at the list of actors to find it," which means, not for the sake of looking at it.
Que Qi's eyes lit up, "That's not bad. There are not many young actors who have done such meticulous homework now. If you keep it up, there will definitely be a future."
Bai Lang sincerely thanked him, "I don't dare, this junior is still just getting started, so I have to rely on my senior for more advice."
Que Qiming responded with a smile, grabbed a piece of squid, and had lunch with Bai Lang.
During the banquet, the two talked about some past filming experiences; the main thing was Que's name, Bai Lang listened, and the topics were endless.
After putting down his chopsticks, Que Qiming held the barley tea and sipped his eloquence, "If you want me to say, you have figured out this character quite well, and your body movements and movements are also very good. The persuasiveness expressed in front of the camera is Enough, I don't dare to rely on the old man to sell the old man, and give random instructions. However, I think you can do it more thoroughly. "
Bai Lang never thought that Que Qiming was willing to give pointers, so he stopped his chopsticks and asked seriously, "More thorough?"
"Think about it, when we are acting, the closest audience is the person in front of you, right?" Que Qi's name smiled gently, "If you use what you just said, worry less about the camera, and use it more to convince you to play against you. People, there may be more surprises.”
"The person who plays against?" Bai Lang was taken aback.
Que Qiming smiled and nodded again. "Didn't you do a good job the day you started?"
When Bai Lang heard this, he fell into contemplation on the spot.
It was also from this day that Bai Lang followed Que Qi's name to learn the subject of "Rendering Power".
◇◇◇
The unexpected harvest made Bai Lang dive into a new topic.
When he regained his senses, among the diners who would gather at meal time, finally, as Bai Lang wished, director Zhu Kuan was added.
However, the timing also entered before and after the Lunar New Year.
According to the plan, the crew will end the scene of renting the villa before the New Year's holiday, and after the annual leave, the filming will be transferred to the tailor's studio in the second half. Therefore, the progress cannot be delayed, any NG must be made up on the same day, and the progress is very urgent.
And such a full schedule, on the contrary, ensures that the crew has a two-week annual leave, so more and more people are beginning to discuss the two-week vacation plan. For those who return to their hometowns and those who go abroad, Bai Lang naturally cannot escape being asked this question.
Ke Kou Li replied "Go home", the real answer, Bai Lang himself did not know.
In particular, even Qiu Qian had to arrest Qiu Xiaohai and return to the new island for Chinese New Year. The day the two left; it was also New Year's Eve, and the apartment was eerily quiet.
Bai Lang took off the watch and put it in the drawer.
In the clutter of the drawer, Bai Lang caught a glimpse of the old mobile phone that was deactivated.
Unable to hold back a certain voice in his heart, Bai Lang plugged in the power supply and found a text message from Bai Li a few days ago.
"Enough of anger, it's time to go home for the New Year. 』
Bai Lang twitched the corners of his mouth, then threw the old phone back to its original position, and turned off the new one.
Then he covered his head and slept happily for a long time, eating one's hot pot.
He thought he had to get used to this.
◇◇◇
However, Bai Lang's quietness only lasted until the third grade.
On the night of the third day of junior high school, the door of the apartment was kicked open rudely, and Qiu Qian strode in with a bad expression, "What are you doing, why is no one answering the phone?"
Qiu Xiaohai, like a small cannonball, threw himself on Bai Lang's leg, "Abai, don't disappear, I miss you so much."
Bai Lang couldn't help hugging Chou Xiaohai, harder than usual.
