Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 97: Reverse Tiangang
Xinsuo Records, Yanjing branch building, recording studio.

"Your heart is like a red stone

Break all the love

All the memories were confiscated and left in the desert, holding a red stone in my hand..."

The filming of "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" was completed a few days later than expected, and it was not finished until the 20th.

However, it only took one and a half months to complete the filming, which was very efficient.

There are only 22 episodes, and most of the scenes are the same, so it's normal that it's fast.

On the second day after the filming was wrapped, Shen Lang brought Gao Yuanyuan to record a song. Finishing early would allow them to have a better rest.

Gao Yuanyuan's singing is indeed average. Her pitch is poor, she sings out of tune, her rhythm is unstable, she can't find the beat, she doesn't have enough breath, and her notes are not long enough. These are common occurrences during a morning of singing.

She also has advantages. Her voice is soft and pleasant, with a special charm that makes people feel happy after hearing it.

Shen Lang was very patient, just like he taught his students before, one note at a time, one word at a time.

Gao Yuanyuan studied very seriously and sang very seriously. Since she had agreed, she would try her best to do her best.

"Go eat first, give your throat a rest, and digest what I just said."

"When I saw you singing in it, it seemed so easy, and it only took a few takes to record. But now that I'm in it myself, I realize it's not as easy as it seems."

Gao Yuanyuan pouted, feeling a little stupid, but she would not be discouraged. Besides, Shen Lang's presence would give her great confidence. After leaving the studio, she asked, "I've read the script. If I choose Leng Qingqiu and Zhao Min, would that be a bit too greedy?"

Shen Lang was not surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Do you know why I want to open my own film and television company?"

Leng Qingqiu is the first female lead in "The Story of a Noble Family" and Zhao Min is the first female lead in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Water flows to low places, people go to high places, and the actor’s goal is to be the protagonist.

If there is an opportunity to choose, any normal person would know how to choose.

Gao Yuanyuan recalled for a moment and said, "You said before that if you live under someone else's roof, you have to depend on that person's mood."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "This is just one of the reasons. Another reason is that I can direct the TV series myself, and I can lead the creative team. I can let whoever I want to direct and whoever I want to act in the series be the actors. I can change the script however I want. I can feel free and comfortable to do whatever I want."

Gao Yuanyuan blinked. This was something she had not expected. She pondered and said, "Aren't you afraid that my poor performance will affect the ratings?"

Shen Lang asked again: "Are you afraid of being scolded by the audience?"

Gao Yuanyuan nodded, then shook her head and said, "I do care about the audience's evaluation, but...how should I put it? If it is criticism of my acting skills and interpretation of the role, I can accept and bear it."

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "That's all, just act peacefully."

Gao Yuanyuan plays Zhao Min, and Jia Jingwen plays Zhou Zhiruo, it’s not impossible.

He doesn't have that first impression effect.

These first impressions are not always correct, but they are the most vivid and solid, forming and occupying a dominant position in the mind.

Just like there will be no more Monkey King after Liu Xiao Ling Tong, and there will be no more Colonel Frank after Al Pacino.

From the audience's perspective, there is an emotional connection between a specific actor and a specific role, and once a role is successfully portrayed, no matter how outstanding the subsequent interpretation is, it is difficult to completely replace the original classic image.

For example, Sun Li was originally chosen to play Luo Zijun in "My First Half of Life", but she thought the role was a bit pretentious and eventually refused. Ma Yili took over and her wonderful acting won the recognition of the audience;

Song Tie was originally chosen to play in "Sito", but she chose another work, which made Jing Tian a first-line actress;
Gu Bin turned down the role of Gao Qisheng in "Kuang Bi", and Su Xiaoding took over, and his outstanding performance created a classic character.

But Shen Lang will not be influenced by "preconceived ideas".

For some roles, similar actors may play them in different styles, but the impact on the whole drama is minimal. Just like he played Xu Zheng's Zhu Yunwen, played Bao Jianfeng's Gu Yuetao, is about to play Chen Kun's Jin Yanxi, and played Su Youpeng's Zhang Wuji. As long as the acting skills keep up, the audience will like it.

Because they are not time travelers and don't know the original situation, there is no question of first impression effect.

Besides, for example, Lai Zi has played both Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo, and there is no sense of incongruity.

As for Leng Qingqiu in "The Story of a Noble Family", Dong Jie performed well, but he is not irreplaceable.

Among the group of actresses who emerged around the millennium, Dong Jie can be called a "jade girl".

Pure and holy, like a blooming white lotus, it makes me feel pity for it.

Unfortunately, this white lotus revealed her true colors after only a few years in the circle. She used all kinds of despicable methods that were completely incompatible with her harmless face. Eventually, she went from being a beloved jade girl to a despised "lustful woman".

And Shen Lang has money, connections, and resources, so there is no doubt that he will support his girlfriend.

There will be many more roles for Gao Yuanyuan to play in the future.

This is “hate capital, understand capital, and become capital”.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Don't worry, I will go back and study the script carefully, think about the role, and play these two roles well." Gao Yuanyuan's expression was very firm. She looked straight at Shen Lang, showing her determination and courage.

"Since you are so serious, I can't fall behind. Let's work together, a man and a woman teaming up, and the work won't be tiring." Shen Lang blinked at her. The meaning was self-evident. It was something that couples loved to do.

Gao Yuanyuan spat, and a hint of pink appeared on her cheeks, making her look very delicate and beautiful.

The two of them went to eat, talking and laughing.

The recording time in the afternoon was almost the same as in the morning. It took three consecutive days to finish recording "Red Stone".

Shen Lang's "The Crossroad Where Phoenix Flowers Bloom" was completed in just half a day.

After the fall, the temperature in Yanjing became much more comfortable.

Xiangshan is probably the place with the most beautiful autumn colors in the capital. There is a saying that goes, "The beauty of Yanjing's autumn lies in Xiangshan."

The red leaves on the trees are dancing in the cool autumn wind. The whole mountain is covered with red, in full swing, showing the strong autumn atmosphere.

"You are clearly asking me to be a laborer! I protest!"

"The protest is ineffective!"

On the mountain path, Yang Junyi hit Shen Lang with a big bag in his hands.

Shen Lang was not to be outdone and threw the heavy backpack onto him.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was following behind, laughed like a silver bell.

Ning Hao and Du Ting, who were at the end of the team, had smiles on their faces.

They went camping near Xiangshan Mountain.

Several of them have been busy since the Chinese New Year. It's time to take a good rest and combine work and rest.

The idea was thought up by Gao Yuanyuan, and the location was chosen by Shen Lang.

Ning Hao and Du Ting were called to provide cover.

The reason why I came to see Yang Junyi was because I had something to discuss.
