I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 194

The script reading took place in a hotel conference room. Perhaps to preserve the documentary, two cameras with different angles were arranged at the scene. When Zhou Dingran and others arrived at the conference room, directors Wang Sheng and Lu Tao had already arrived in advance.

In addition to the two directors, crew members such as producers, coordinators, and Fu Huadao were also present.

Looking around, there are a total of 30 people in the entire conference room. The conference room is extremely quiet at the moment. Although the reading meeting has not officially started, everyone is reading the script carefully and preparing for the next filming stage.

Seeing the arrival of Zhou Dingran and others, Lu Tao took the initiative to stand up and say hello: "You are here, Lao Zhou, sit here with me!"

Zhou Dingran looked over and found a chair reserved next to Lu Tao, and Zhou Dingran's nameplate was placed on the conference table in front of the chair.

He nodded and walked over, while the others took their seats according to their corresponding nameplates.

When Zhou Dingran sat down, he saw that the person sitting opposite him was Tianmang's super newcomer Hong Shaorong.

"Hello." Zhou Dingran was the first to say hello. After all, she was the actress she would get along with almost every day for the next three months. Maintaining a harmonious relationship with the crew was the only factor to speed up the filming progress of the work.

When Hong Shaorong heard this, he immediately stood up, bent slightly, stretched out his hand to Zhou Dingran, and smiled: "Brother Ran, hello, this is my first film and television work, please give me your advice in the future."

Hong Shaorong was dressed like an ordinary lay person today, simple dark blue jeans, which highlighted her slender and round legs, and a black round-neck sweater, although it was a loose fit, but it looked very compact, highlighting her amazing curvature.

Her skin was as white as milk and looked fragile. At this moment, her eyes flickered, and her delicate facial features showed a gentle smile, which was very humble and polite.

Since there was a conference table between the two of them, Zhou Dingran had no choice but to stand up and bend down to touch Hong Shaorong's little hand slightly, and said with a smile: "I am also a newcomer, we grow together."

At this moment, everyone in the crew was watching the male and female protagonists meet for the first time. Surprisingly, no one spoke. The scene of the handsome man and the beautiful woman confused many people.

It also made the entire conference room silent.

Soon Wang Sheng coughed and said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start the script reading!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But in fact, before this, Wang Sheng and Lu Tao had already had separate meetings with the teachers of the Fuhua Dao Group and the Photography Group, and the designs of the characters' costumes and other designs had been finalized, and there was no need to introduce them specially in this reading meeting. , the current script reading meetings are mainly conducted for the main actors of the work.

"There are a total of 38 episodes of "Sword of Immortal". Everyone will work overtime today and try to briefly go through the main content of the script today."

Wang Sheng said.

As soon as these words came out, many actors looked a little helpless. The 38-episode script might not be read through until midnight, but after all, the director personally spoke, and everyone had no choice but to nod in agreement.

So, in the next few hours, starting from the first scene of the first scene, Zhou Dingran, Hong Shaorong, Wang Ke and others began to hold their respective scripts and start to match the lines.

If you just recite the lines, you don't need to wait until [-] o'clock in the evening, you can go through it in just three or four hours.

But in script reading, in addition to reading the lines, you also need to focus on whether the actors' emotions are correct when reading the lines. If you don't understand something, you can also listen to the director narrating the scene for you. After that, the actors need to figure it out individually. Characters, created and performed.

In fact, it is not common for the crew of "Sword and Fairy" to be so serious about the script during the reading meeting. This is due to the habit of director Wang Sheng who has a background in realistic themes.

If it were Lu Tao, today's script reading group would only read a few lines, and the script might not even be over after finishing it.

After all, the filming time was very long. Three months was enough time for the actors to recite their lines and figure out the characters.

After working overtime, a reading meeting did not end until ten o'clock in the evening.

Apart from eating a boxed lunch, almost everyone in the crew did not leave the conference room.

And a script reading completely established Zhou Dingran's status on the set, just because of Zhou Dingran's professionalism when reading his lines and his selflessness in his expression. After all, other people were reading the script in this scene, clinging to those "fairies". Chivalrous" lines are bound to make people feel embarrassed and put into drama.

But Zhou Dingran didn't make people feel embarrassed or dramatized at all. As soon as he started reading the script, as long as he sat there, he seemed to be Li Xiaoyao by birth.

Today Chen Daozhou was absent from the reading meeting due to work schedule, but for such a big shot, even if he doesn’t read the script, he can easily perform the director’s intention by just memorizing the lines and listening to the director describing a few scenes. Effect.

It's strange that such a big shot could come here.

The reading meeting has been successfully concluded, and the first scene will be shot tomorrow afternoon. However, since the actors have costume, makeup and hair needs, the director will not gather with the crew until ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

After everyone agreed on a time, they dispersed.

When we returned to the hotel in the evening, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms. At this time, Zhu Qian couldn't help but quickly stepped forward and asked: "Brother Ran, do you have the opportunity to teach me some acting skills?"

Zhou Dingran paused, stared at Zhu Qian's pretty face, and said with a smile: "Of course you can, but I think Teacher Chen's teaching method is more suitable for your study. As long as you listen carefully in class, you will have merit in the audience, or in other words If you have read and learned all the acting books issued by the school, then I feel that you don’t actually need to study. As long as you accumulate enough practical experience, the future Golden Rooster Awards, Academy Awards, and Golden Horse Awards are waiting for you to challenge. ."

After saying that, he immediately walked away.

Oh my god, Zhu Qian's eyes were so bright that Zhou Dingran felt that if he invited her to stay in the room to read the script at night, Zhu Qian might not be polite and agree on the spot.

Zhu Qian looked at Zhou Dingran's quickly leaving figure, bit her lip lightly, and then turned around and returned to her room.

Early the next morning, Zhou Dingran was woken up by a text message reminder.

He picked up his phone and saw a text message from "The King of Masked Singer" inviting him to participate in the eighth episode tomorrow.

This left Zhou Dingran scratching his head. Today is the afternoon when the filming of the first scene starts. It would not be good to ask for leave tomorrow. However, this show cannot ask for leave. Zhou Dingran thought about it and decided to ask Lu Tao and ask him what the crew needs tomorrow afternoon. No need for yourself.

"Why do you want to go?"

Lu Tao asked curiously on the phone: "Tomorrow will definitely be very busy, especially in the early stage of filming. It is very important to get along with the crew and actors in all aspects. You won't ask for leave tomorrow, will you? Director Wang must be in a hurry with you."

Zhou Dingran said awkwardly: "I have a temporary schedule here and need to leave the crew for a while."

"How long will it take?" Lu Tao asked.

Zhou Dingran thought for a while and said: "From three o'clock in the afternoon to nine o'clock in the evening..."

"What's the difference between that and taking a day off? Can't we just move the schedule back a few days?"

"This is really not possible. I signed the contract."

When Lu Tao heard this, he agreed: "Okay, I know about this. I'll let Director Wang know."

"Don't talk about it now, wait until today's filming is over, so as not to affect Director Wang's mood." Zhou Dingran said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, Brother Lu!"

"Why are you so polite to us!"

Lu Tao suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "By the way, don't forget to go to the beach after work in the evening. I specially asked the manager to arrange a few top names..."

Zhou Dingran didn't have time to pinch his feet. He had to think about tomorrow's competition song at night, so he wanted to reject it outright, but when he came to his mouth, he said: "I don't have time tonight, another day, another day." Hearing this, Lu Tao kept saying, He persuaded, "Those top ones are very smart, have great skills, and can also speak."

"I dont go."

Zhou Dingran refused righteously this time.

I'm a top-notch person, how can I be seen to go to the city to wash my feet?

Lu Tao's persuasion was fruitless and he had no choice but to give up.

Zhou Dingran got up, washed up, and knocked on the door of Wang Ke and others' room. After everyone had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, they rushed to the set without stopping.

After arriving at the crew, there were already people coming and going on the set, all of them were staff members. Immediately after Zhou Dingran and others arrived, staff members from the costume team came up and took one actor back to change their makeup.

Because I had tried makeup and hair before, practice makes perfect this time. Soon, Zhou Dingran and others appeared on the set wearing ancient costumes.

It is worth mentioning that Hong Shaorong, who plays the heroine, left Hengdian overnight after the reading meeting last night.

Because there is no role for Hong Shaorong in the early stage, and Hong Shaorong still has some personal schedules that have not been completed, so he can take a day off and leave early.

When Zhou Dingran heard the news, he was murmuring in his heart, wondering if the director would smash the camera if he knew he was leaving tomorrow.

At this time, many staff on site were looking at Zhou Dingran.

Zhou Dingran plays the male protagonist Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao was originally a waiter in a country inn. He was very talented. Because of a pot of wine, he was taught the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect swordsmanship by the Jiujianxian. Later, he met Zhao Ling'er on Fairy Island. Since then, he has gone through many hardships and finally grown into a unique figure. Xia.

What we want to film at this stage is Li Xiaoyao, the waiter under the Li Family Inn. He dreams of having a fierce battle with a Rakshasa ghost in the air, being knocked down and falling back to bed, and then being beaten awake by Aunt Li.

Aunt Li told Li Xiaoyao to open the store.

As soon as Li Xiaoyao opened the door, he saw three weird moon worshipers.

The three of them stayed at Li's Inn, but they actually had another purpose.

They made Aunt Li unconscious, and in order to save Aunt Li, Li Xiaoyao fell into a trap and went to Fairy Island, where she met Zhao Ling'er by chance.

If everything goes well, the plot before the fairy director can be filmed in one day. Zhou Dingran also has this confidence. In fact, Lu Tao, who is familiar with Zhou Dingran's acting skills, is also very confident in today's filming because the plot is relatively simple. There are not many martial arts actions. If you are a mature actor, these scenes can be done in one go.

Wang Sheng was a little embarrassed. It was his first time directing a fairy tale drama, but he also had a martial arts work that received good reviews before that. However, the filming of that work was about seven or eight years ago. Now he is exposed to a costume drama again. , Wang Sheng said that he is still adapting.

However, when the filming of the first scene of the first scene started, Wang Sheng's feeling came.

Just because Zhou Dingran's performance is so smooth, whether it is wording or every move, it has a philistine atmosphere of ancient people. After all, Li Xiaoyao's current identity is a waiter in a shop, and Zhou Dingran's boyish face also deeply attracted the audience. Every staff member.

In particular, the scene of the fight with the three moon worshipers happened all at once, making Lu Tao standing next to him enjoy watching it.

Wang Sheng's face was also flushed: "This actor is capable of dancing and is really flexible. He can get twice the result with half the effort when acting in a martial arts film."

There were almost no reshoots in the first half of the first episode. If Wang Sheng hadn't wanted to prepare one, almost all of today's scenes could have been finished early.

But even so, it took three or four hours to shoot.

After the filming was over, Wang Sheng announced that Zhou Dingran's work was over for today, but in fact the director team had to change locations to shoot other plots. If Hong Shaorong hadn't asked for leave, we could almost see the classic scene of a beautiful woman taking a bath today.

And obviously we won’t be able to see it tomorrow.

After finishing work, Lu Tao ran over to tell Wang Sheng about Zhou Dingran's request for leave tomorrow, but he never thought that Wang Sheng was not surprised at all, "I know, his agent has told me in advance?"

"Agent?" Lu Tao was stunned.

Wang Sheng nodded and said, "Well, Zhou Dingran's agent is Liu Ruyan."

"Then I won't ask any more questions..."

Lu Tao suddenly realized, then changed the topic and asked: "Then what should we shoot tomorrow?"

"Photographing scenery." Wang Sheng replied.

Of course this is just a joke.

But after all, the male and female protagonists took two days off each other, which really made Wang Sheng feel a little unhappy.

On the other side, Zhou Dingran took off his makeup and hair, returned to the hotel, and began to prepare the competition track for the next day.

At the same time, it was approaching evening.

The seventh episode of "The King of Masked Singer" was also officially launched on Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Because Fathead Fish's song "My Past You" in the last program was so popular, this song is still ranked No. 1 on Haijiao.com's hot song list to this day.

This has led to an unprecedented surge in the popularity of the topic of "The King of Masked Singer", and has also made many netizens who have not paid much attention to this show have a sense of anticipation for tonight's episode.

What kind of song will Fathead Fish bring?
This has become the most anticipated project for almost all TV viewers every week.

And when the players pass through the levels.

When the song "Blue Lotus" appeared in the Singing King Contest, the entire Weibo, Douyin, and Haijiao hot searches were all hot search terms related to "Blue Lotus".

For example, "Nothing can stop me from my yearning for freedom!"

Another example is "A song that can bring tears to people's eyes!" and so on.

Just click in and take a look, and the video of Fathead Fish's performance on the stage of "The King of Masked Singer" will be displayed directly.

The number of clicks almost always increases by tens or millions.

Countless netizens also expressed their love for the song "Blue Lotus".

"You said "Blue Lotus", I almost starved to death in 318!"
