not good, immortal

Chapter 24 Thighs, here she comes
"It's really a fairy!"

"Sister Immortal has descended to earth!"

Before the audition started, the stylist had just done the makeup and hair, which attracted everyone's admiration.

Qiao Zhenzhen looked at the person in the mirror, like herself, but not exactly like herself.

This makeup is said to have been adapted from Zhengdan's makeup in Huangmei Opera. It is different from the gorgeous and coquettish tones in previous dramas. It makes her look elegant and beautiful, full of ancient flavor.

A few crystal tear moles were dotted under the eyes, and a bit of modern makeup was added to the rendered eye shadow.

I don't know if she looks like a concubine or a fairy.

However, compared to the roles that the company had given her in the past, she was quite satisfied.

The stylist is still adjusting the hair, and she looks at it with a book.

Her character is very simple, just playing a fairy.

Well, rounding it up, it can be regarded as acting in his true colors... right?

This film is adapted from the Huangmei Opera repertoire "Pairing of Immortals", and the subject matter is not particularly new.

In the past few decades, there have been various film and television adaptations of "The Match of the Immortals", including the renamed "Seven Fairies of Joyful Heaven" and "Flying Immortals Beyond the Sky". Each version has its own characteristics.

The difference is that Director Chen is a theater lover. His idea is to add a lot of elements of Huangmei Opera to the movie, including some arias.

In order to inherit the classics and carry forward the Chinese culture.

Even the leading actors are Zhengsheng and Zhengdan who were hired by the troupe.

But this alone is not enough, the market does not recognize artists in any theater troupe, there is no traffic, no stars, no one will watch it, and investors are not very happy.

Director Chen thought of a way to invite some traffic stars to come as guest stars. After all, there are seven fairies alone, and it would be no problem to put a girl group in.

But the idea is an idea, but it is actually quite difficult to operate.

As soon as the news came out, it was like an audition. The brokerage companies scrambled to come up to matchmaking, and the artist's information was stuffed in front of Director Chen like a snowflake.

What is drama adaptation? It's art!
If you can show your face in a movie, you can turn from a traffic floret to an artist in an instant, and your net worth will double. This is much easier than going to a Ph.D. in film and television studies.

This is a matter of avoiding detours for ten years.

But it was hard for Director Chen's team.

First screen out some "artificial humans" who can't cry or laugh, and then screen out some "variety cafes" who can't cry or laugh.

In the end, I have to secretly investigate whether there is any legal coffee, lest a pot of soup be ruined by a mouse dropping...

Director Chen was very angry when he picked and picked.

These artists these days can be described as illiterate.

Someone actually took the script and asked him what the "carrying" of "carrying a shoulder pole up the hill" read...

Difficult, really difficult.

As for the actor Qiao Zhenzhen, Director Chen didn't want to get in touch with her either. After all, his drama has just exploded.

Don't you see, there are quite a few actresses who say they want to serve as a foil for ordinary people, but they immediately refuse.

And as we all know, Qiao Zhenzhen is "semi-literate", and she doesn't seem to have even studied in college. How can she study what is Chinese history and what is artistic heritage?

If it wasn't for the old sister who introduced him to him, Director Chen would never have thought of this person.

As a result, I had such a casual chat with Qiao Zhenzhen yesterday...

Well, the old sister is mighty!
I found the treasure.

What he didn't know was that Qiao Zhenzhen really didn't study the history of China, she was a witness of history.

The content of the audition is also very simple, just sing a part of "Four Praises from Fairies".

Simply a piece of cake.

"Not bad, not bad. Zhenzhen, do you have any opinion on our look, makeup and hair, or the overall script?" After Qu Bi, Director Chen was quite satisfied.

The person in front of him had a charming smile and beautiful eyes, which fit the image and temperament of a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Qiao Zhenzhen thought for a while, then pondered, "The clothes don't seem too big, do they?"

Director Chen's expression changed.

"This dress is so pretty!" The manager, Sister Mei, winked frantically at the side. What kind of monster is her artist doing?

Director Chen interrupted her: "Do you think there is something wrong with this dress?"

The costumes and makeup are mainly modified from the classic appearance of Huangmei Opera, just like Director Li's "Dream of Red Mansions".

"As far as I know, although the formation period of Huangmei Opera itself can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, it was officially formed in the late Qing Dynasty." Well, this part is the knowledge I just picked up in the car.

"Not bad." Director Chen cast approving glances.

The girl looked at it and went back to study it.

"But the version of "Pairing of Immortals" filmed this time, the script introduced that it was adapted from the earliest "Biography of Dong Yongyu Immortal"?"

"Not bad." Director Chen nodded, it seemed that he was also seriously reading the script.good.

"But this "Dong Yong Yu Xian Zhuan" is adapted from "Dong Yong Selling His Body" in the Twenty-Four Filial Piety in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The first recorded Zaju was in the Yuan Dynasty."

Didn't Dong Yong meet the little fairies who were playing fruit with her in the mountains two thousand years ago?

"Yes, yes, that's right, you continue." Director Chen was very happy, but he didn't expect this little girl to be quite thorough in her research.

"I think that costumes should highlight the story of the movie, so that the audience can be more immersed in the story, rather than a superficial art form."

Qiao Zhenzhen doesn't quite understand, isn't acting in costumes just acting?
She went on to say: "We can actually draw up an era for this movie, and then make the movie itself more contemporary through persuasion.

"It can be the Han Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, but if you wear costumes throughout the whole process, it may not have the effect of promoting Huangmei Opera itself."

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Someone stared at Qiao Zhenzhen with a half-smile, and said that Director Chen wanted to show the elements of Huangmei Opera in all directions. So many artists and teachers didn't say anything. A young actor with no education is just playing around here?
Director Chen naturally didn't answer.

This is indeed a bit different from what he imagined, showing the elements of Huangmei Opera in an all-round way.

But it's not entirely unreasonable.

In fact, the audience's response to Director Li's "Dream of Red Mansions" was mediocre.There are still posts on the Internet complaining about makeup, hair and kimono, and they have been made into emoticons.

"Okay, okay, what Huangmei opera do you know?" Sister Mei was about to cry.

She finally understood that Qiao Zhenzhen's fault of not being able to read people's eyes was repeated again.Last night, she felt that she could win a role by herself, she did a good job, and today she can offend Director Chen to death.

Qiao Zhenzhen looked at Sister Mei speechlessly, you are in a hurry.

After thinking about it, she added:

"If you must have costume elements, you can actually use the Huangmei opera aria as the narration at the beginning, and cut it in."

Director Chen raised his eyes, looked at Qiao Zhenzhen with a frown, opened his mouth, pondered something, and finally said, "You go back first."

Seeing this expression, Sister Mei murmured secretly, it's over, it's over, it's over.

This contract is only a matter of signing and stamping, and the goods are returned by someone.

"Okay, thank you Director Chen."

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't care, she was a thousand-year-old demon, she didn't care whether she was an artist or not.

In contrast, it is more important to tell the truth, after all, Director Chen is pretty good and has no pretensions.

She went out to take off her make-up and changed her clothes, got into her nanny car, and knocked her head. Why did she always feel like she forgot a big thing after getting up today? What was it?

So he poked the little assistant in the front row: "What is my itinerary for today?"

The little assistant opened the memo: "Uh, it's an audition in the morning, and I'm going to attend a luncheon at noon. In the afternoon, I'll cut the ribbon, shoot magazine covers, and in the evening, I'll be live-streaming... It's gone."

What the hell is going on?

Qiao Zhenzhen was in a daze.

Sister Mei opened the car door and sat down cursing.

Director Chen said that he wanted to do something, so the contract was naturally not signed.

"Let me tell you, Qiao Zhenzhen, you have only one play contract with the company, but the contract is still two years away. You have just become popular now, and you are not a top-tier celebrity. Do you want to make money for ruining your connections like this? Liquidated damages?"

"What?"

Qiao Zhenzhen listened to this kind of preaching a lot, and it always went in one ear and out the other.

Seeing her like this, Sister Mei became even angrier: "You are a star, you don't want to curry favor with the director, you are fine every day, you are from the police station of the mental hospital, what are you going to do?!"

"Stop! Say it again!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Not this sentence, the previous sentence."

"It's okay every day, from the police station of the mental hospital... bah bah bah, what a mess, Qiao Zhenzhen, are you finished?"

"That's right!" Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, "Call me!"

"what phone?"

"You said last night, the phone number from the Xingfu police station!"

What about acting, being famous, well, plus falling in love, it’s all considered wool.

Now the key is her thighs, Fenghe.
