Chapter 5 Spicy Chicken

Becoming the notorious "White Emperor", except for the person involved who is unhappy, everyone else is very happy, such as the brokerage company, such as the two people I will talk about next.

"Look, Lao Li is the right actor."

"Although his acting skills are mediocre, he is highly topical. There are nine hot search terms related to him this month."

"Red is really red, and it even changes the meaning of the idiom "天无二日". Now when people say "天无二日" on the Internet, there will be a little black guy who will follow up with the sentence "dogs are yellow and white", am I rich in foresight? ."

The eloquent person is Lao Lian, the producer of "The Swordsman". His face is full of arrogance. His words are meant for director Li Cang.

The foresight is bullshit. When I decided to invite Huang Baiyou, the hot searches of the New Four Heavenly Kings had not yet come out. It was not because of the distribution channels of Greedy Tianyu Media.

"Having him participate in the show can bring a lot of attention." Li Cang did not argue, but raised his glass to indicate that everything was in the wine.

"Many celebrities deliberately talk nonsense, or try to act ugly in front of the public without getting any attention. Huang Baiyou is lucky." Lao Lian took a sip of edamame and a drink of wine.

"Because others are pretending to be ugly, Huang Baiyou is really making a fool of himself." Li Cang hit the nail on the head and secretly ate the fish face meat of the steamed sea bass.

"It makes sense. Reality is always better than fakeness, even if it's ugly." Lao Lian agreed, and then remembered a key point, "His acting skills are so ridiculously bad, won't it affect our project?"

"Other actors are also bad. I can only say that Huang Baiyou is particularly bad. For a TV series, there is no difference between a particularly bad actor and a bad actor." Li Cang said: "Besides, Lin Pingzhi is only the third male actor, and the character setting is originally Annoying."

Lao Lian was relieved and took a sip of wine in his glass. He wanted to ask the waiter to open another bottle, but was stopped by Li Cang, who said: "Hey, there will be a power-on ceremony tomorrow morning, so let's not drink tonight."

It made sense. Lao Lian began to pay attention to the dishes on the table and said: "This dish should not be called spicy chicken. It should be called chicken spicy chicken. The plate is full of red peppers and there are not a few pieces of chicken."

"Spicy chicken only eats chili peppers. Who likes this kind of chicken? It's like watching Jin Yong's drama, just for the gimmicks. If you really look at the plot, Jin Yong's novel has been adapted so many times, who still cares about the plot." Director Li Cang said.

"You understand the audience so well." Lao Lian gave a thumbs up.

Knowing the audience so well, Li Cang didn't think it was a compliment. He picked up a red pepper and chewed it in his mouth, "In today's entertainment industry, it's okay for directors to have a bad film, but it's the original sin to have a bad film without any new ideas."

While eating and drinking, they talked about how the environment in the entertainment industry was getting worse and worse. I didn't want to go into details. The general summary was that Xue Hua accused Xue Beng of being unkind, and they didn't go home until early in the morning.

The next day, it was a little rainy.

The slanting wind and drizzle could not delay the start-up ceremony in Haizhou City, Zhejiang Province. The props team, photography team, and creative team started working early in the morning. The filming location of the drama is in the Longchuan Gorge Scenic Area, so the location selection highlights the use of local materials.

Huang Baiyou and his life assistant Lu Shu arrived at Luqiao Airport. The person who picked them up was Xiaoliang from the crew, and they arrived at their destination in ten minutes by car.

A large poster was erected at the scene with the message [Warmly congratulating the launch of "The Swordsman"]. On the left and right sides were cameras covered with red cloth. A long table was set up in the middle as an incense table, with a small incense burner and several plates. fruit.

Starting from the incense table, the red carpet was laid out, and then the large incense burner and double dragon tripod were placed. The whole process spread from the opera circle. Xiangjiang is the most strict, and worshiping God must be Guan Gong. However, after it spread to the mainland and was improved, there was no fixed object of worship. Take the first part of the original play as an example, even worshiping the old man Geng Meng.

The original person was so curious that he specifically asked the older generation of the crew, and got the answer that Lao Langshen is the founder of opera. Some said it refers to Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, but others said it refers to Li Shimin or Geng Meng.

Anyway, I want to worship Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty if I want to play the role of fire, I want to worship Li Shimin if I want to be safe, and I want to worship Geng Meng if the actors can remember their lines. This shows how panicked the director of the previous film was before filming started.

"Bai... Brother Bai You, I am Guo Xing, who plays Yue Lingshan. Well, I especially like your performance... Hahaha. Anyway, it's nice to meet Brother Bai You."

Guo Xing next to him took the initiative to say hello. He changed his words twice without any embarrassment, and wore a hearty smile.

Upon hearing the self-introduction, Huang Baiyou turned to look over, and then responded in a familiar manner, "Young Master, you obviously want to call me Bai Di."

"Uh-" It was a bit embarrassing to be exposed in person, but Guo Xing's embarrassment only lasted a tenth of a second, and he immediately argued, "No way! I just want to call you Brother Bai You, and I'm thinking of treating you to a big meal next time." For meals.”

"Next time it won't be an infinite adjective."

"How can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air with red lips and white teeth?"

It was obviously the first time for the two to meet, but they seemed to have known each other for many years, and they were talking and laughing very familiarly.

There are fools in the entertainment industry, but most of them are not fuel-efficient. Huang Baiyou sighed inwardly. Guo Xing's micro-movements showed that his familiar and cheerful personality was a disguise. Judging from even the angles of his toes and sideways, Guo Xing should have some social exposure. fear.

It was obvious that Guo Xing took the initiative to make friends with him. After Huang Baiyou understood it, he went down the slope to respond.

If he could use half of his disguise ability to act, it would be easy to act as an opponent, which made Huang Baiyou feel a little happy.

The male number one Linghu Chong is played by Wu Zinan, the male number two Dongfang Bubai is played by Cheng Guang, the female number one Ren Yingying is played by Gao Zi, and the female number two Lan Phoenix is ​​played...

The creative team all said hello one after another. Although Huang Baiyou is the third male lead, it is undisputed that he is the most famous, so everyone will want to get to know him.

Especially Cheng Guang, who is about 25 or 26 years old and has a more sunny appearance. He talks about surfing: "Brother, the filming is over. I will take you to surf. Then you will know the excitement of standing on the top of the wave." ."

They are all young people in their twenties and thirties. They communicate briefly and there is no generation gap. On the surface, they laugh and laugh harmoniously, but privately——

"Wouldn't inviting Huang Baiyou here lower the quality of the TV series? What's his level? He graduated from Shen Normal University. Are there any famous people in the drama school of Shen Normal University who are worthy of acting with me?" Wu Zinan complained crazily in his heart.

Wu Zinan majored in Chinese opera, drama, film and television performance, and had a natural sense of superiority towards Ye Luzi. He originally had a passerby attitude, but when he learned that he was starring in the same series as him, he was very conflicted.

Especially when the other party's attention is so high, why? Just because of his poor acting skills? ! This is what Wu Zinan is thinking in his heart.

Everyone was chatting, and soon the auspicious moment arrived. The director quickly sent out red envelopes to all members of the crew, and the set manager distributed incense sticks to the creative team and heads of various departments.

The incense is added in the order of the producer, director, creative actors, props team leader, etc., and inserted into the cauldron. It is very important that the order cannot be messed up.

"Wish you good luck."

"Two thanks for a good start."

"The Three Worships drama is a big hit."

"Four prayers for unity and friendship."

After the ceremony, producer Lao Lian and director Li Cang stepped forward and unveiled the red cloth on the camera, marking the official completion of the start-up ceremony.
