Chapter 139

On March 3, the crew of [Langya Bang] held a launch ceremony at the Qinwanggong Scenic Area of ​​Hengdian Film and Television City.

Gu Wei brought his small team into the group one day in advance.

Early this morning, the main actors who had joined the crew put on their makeup and costumes, and gathered outside Qin Palace under the arrangement of the crew.

The weather in Hengdian was still very cold in March. Gu Wei was wearing a light gray ancient men's robe and a long down jacket.

Wang Kai, Tang Yan, Gu Wei and several other main supporting roles were surrounded by other crew members and stood in the front row of the crowd.

The opening ceremony was relatively simple, and there were not many media who came here. Sunshine at noon has never paid much attention to these formal things.

The host is Wang Yongquan, the executive director of the film crew. He said that the name may not be familiar to everyone. Director Wang also played a cameo role in "Langya Bang".

It is one of the great villains of this play, the head of the Xuanjing Division——Xia Jiang.

People who have watched "Langya Bang" may have a deep impression on the character "Xia Jiang". He is insidious and cunning, and he is a very ambitious person.

And such a villain played by Wang Yongquan is lifelike, which makes the audience's teeth itch. It can only be said that the director has nothing to do with the actor when he acts.

"Today, all the cast and crew of [Langya Bang] are in this episode today."

Director Wang began to preside over the speech at the opening ceremony.

He pointed at a group of actors standing in a row with a finger.

"Some of the actors are our old friends, and I will introduce some of them that I don't know.

First of all, we would like to introduce the actor of our male number one 'Mei Changsu' - Gu Wei! "

Gu Wei took a step forward with a smile and bowed to the crowd opposite.

"Then there is Tang Yan, who plays the role of 'Princess Nihuang' in our drama."

Tang Yan stood next to Gu Wei and also bowed.

Then he smiled and waved his hands, "Hi everyone!"

Later, Wang Kai, who played the role of "Prince Jing", Mr. Liu Mintao, who played the role of "Concubine Jing", and Wu Lei, who played the role of "Fei Liu", the youngest actor in the show, were introduced one after another.

"Let us congratulate our actors with the warmest applause, and wish them good health and smooth sailing during the filming of our drama [Langya Bang].

Applause~"

After speaking, Director Wang clapped his hands.

The audience below are also very face-saving, applauding and applauding.

After introducing the actors, the director announced that the opening ceremony of [Langya Bang] has officially started.

Under the guidance of the staff, Gu Wei and the others followed the director to several cameras covered with red cloth.

The director counted "three, two, one"

Crackling firecrackers sounded from behind, and several people pulled the red cloth off the camera together, marking the official launch of the TV series.

[Langya Bang] This drama is a typical Chinese-style "Prince's Revenge".

Its essence is just like Shakespeare's revenge prince Hamlet.

His father was killed and the court was corrupt. The prince endured for many years and returned to the court to avenge his father. This process was also accompanied by intricate emotional entanglements and psychological contradictions.

In [Langya Bang], the "Prince of Vengeance" Mei Changsu fits all the characteristics of Hamlet. For example, his mother is the emperor's younger sister, and his aunt is the emperor's concubine. He can be regarded as a "prince", but at the same time the emperor is also The culprit that caused his family's tragedy.

In an unjust case, Mei Changsu (Lin Shu) survived by chance, and thus embarked on the road of revenge.

However, the ingenuity of the screenwriter lies in the transformation that conforms to the Chinese cultural paradigm in this classic narrative.

For example, Mei Changsu's "revenge" is by no means Hamlet's "revenge", where he had to kill the culprit to create a bloody tragedy scene, but replaced "revenge" with "justice". In order to rehabilitate Chi Yan's old case and give the unjustly deceased an innocence.

In Chinese Confucian cultural theory, the emperor is the guide for his ministers, and he abides by the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers. Although the unjust case was caused by the emperor, if the vengeful prince kills the emperor as in the Western story, it will violate the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, and the audience may not be able to accept it.

Therefore, "redressing injustice" made Mei Changsu's behavior more Chinese and more civilized. In the end, the emperor just admitted his mistakes.

Unlike Hamlet, who frequently draws out his long sword and is full of hostility, Mei Changsu's road to "revenge" is Wen Sheng rather than Wu Sheng, which is a relatively advanced and Chinese way of handling.

In the character setting of "Langya Bang", Mei Changsu is a white-faced literati who has no power to restrain a chicken, suffers from serious illness, and can't even take care of himself. He has no heroic spirit of an avenger. Of course, it highlights his extraordinary strategic wisdom.

In the story, Mei Changsu achieved success step by step by relying entirely on his personal planning, deduction, persuasion, and strategy, until he finally helped King Jing ascend the throne, cleared the wronged case, and embarked on a wonderful way of revenge through literature.Facts have also proved that fighting wits is far more exciting than fighting bravely.

Of course, the character image of the "Prince of Vengeance" is actually divided into two in "Langya Bang", one half is Mei Changsu, and the other half is King Jing. The two formed a cooperative relationship between monarch and minister from the very beginning.

As the real prince, Prince Jing is in charge of face, while Mei Changsu is the prince who hides his identity, in charge of face.

The highest state of ancient Chinese literati is to become "the talent of Wang Zuo". Mei Changsu helps King Jing to ascend the throne as a counselor. This relationship between Wang and Zuo makes the story more rich and three-dimensional.

Prince Jing's suspicion of Mei Changsu's identity has been a clue to the relationship between the two throughout, and it also constitutes a fascinating suspense.

The opening ceremony is over, and the actors are ready to start filming.

"Hi, Gu Wei, I'm Tang Yan, I'm very glad to be working with you on this drama, I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the next few months!"

When everyone walked into the field together, Tang Yan said to Gu Wei beside him with a smile on his face.

Tang Yan attached great importance to this filming of "Langya Bang". After she became famous for filming "Immortal Sword 3", she filmed "Three Thousand Golds of the Xia Family" which made her very popular.

But since then, she has been going all the way on the road of filming "Silly White Sweet". She tried to change the way of the play several times and change the style, but all ended in failure.

Originally, in the second half of this year, she was going to film another big-budget modern idol drama [Why Shengxiaomo].

But in comparison, she values ​​the drama [Langya Bang] more.

The essence of "Zhao Mosheng" still hasn't jumped out of the types she played in the past. Even if the drama becomes popular, the heroine of "Mary Su" will not help her career much.

After all, as she grows older, it is impossible for her to act "silly, white and sweet" for a lifetime, and the audience will always get tired of watching it.

But [Langya Bang] is an excellent opportunity. If "Nihuang Princess" plays well, she can change the course of the play and have more opportunities in the circle.

"Hi, nice to meet you, Sister Tang Yan, I really like Zi Xuan played by you in [Legend of Sword and Sword 3].

The Love of the Three Times, from the innocence of a girl to the maturity and beauty of a fairy later, the acting is particularly good. "

Gu Wei looked at Tang Yan who was dressed in a heroic style and praised him.

He feels that the director team still has some ideas about finding actors. At present, there are only a few well-known actresses born in the 80s.

Although Tang Yan is used to playing the role of "silly, white and sweet", but I am 172cm tall, as long as I don't smile, I will look like a royal sister when I dress up, and it shouldn't be difficult to play the heroic "Nihuang Princess" strenuous.

When Tang Yan heard what Gu Wei said, she felt extremely happy. Many people praised her for her beauty, but few praised her for her good acting skills.

And Gu Wei is not just boasting for no reason, being able to tell the characteristics of her character as Zi Xuan in [Immortal Sword 3] makes her very satisfied.

"Where is it, I'm still far behind. I watched your [Detective Chinatown] some time ago, and I think you made that movie very well."

Tang Yan smiled happily while talking to Gu Wei.

Le's big teeth were all exposed, with an expression of a silly big sister.

My favorability for Gu Wei soared.
