Chapter 158 Shooting on Langya List

The one-month etiquette training was quickly and successfully completed. After the set photos were taken, the preparatory work for the crew was completed, and the construction of the Su Zhai, prison, Su Zhai secret room and related special effects scenes were basically completed.

On November 11th, a day with beautiful wind and clear sky, the crew of "Nirvana in Fire" held a grand launch conference at the Qin Palace Scenic Area of ​​Hengdian Film and Television City.

As Qiao Yi's first TV series starring, the news of this drama was released, and it attracted the attention of the public at the beginning of the preparation.

Therefore, at the launch conference, more than 30 mainstream print media reporters covering the country, more than 20 mainstream TV media reporters, and more than 20 mainstream Internet media reporters were invited. Others also invited mainstream TV and satellite platforms across the country. , TV media, and some mainstream website platforms.

Similarly, the guests present included all the main creators, representatives of investors (that is, representatives of Yifang Culture Media), and main cast members.

Three to 10 minutes before the start of the press conference, the media began to sign in, and the relevant guests also entered the venue at the same time. The main creators and cast members waited in the background.

He Jiong was unable to attend due to work reasons, but he still invited Sao Ning to host the launch conference with high standards.

With a burst of passionate background music, Sa Beining stepped onto the stage, announced the start of the press conference, introduced the guests and major media friends present, and delivered an opening speech at the same time.

Qiao Yi and the others watched Sa Beining play freely on the stage in the background, and not only sighed, professional is still professional, much more professional than the host pretended by the staff during the rehearsal.

After the opening procedure, Sa Beining invited Gu Ruobai up.

She is the producer of "Langya Bang" and is also the representative of the company. Friends who are familiar with her must be able to tell that this is the third cooperation between her and Qiao Yi.

The first time was the short film "Dumplings", the second time was "The Unknown", and the third time was this "Langya Bang".

"It seems that a beautiful producer is about to appear in our industry!"

The current Sa Beining is very different from most of the impressions of him. Since he started to let go of himself, the hosting style has also changed freely. Then he glanced at the cue card and asked her: "Producer Gu , About this "Langya Bang", the guests and media friends at the scene must want to know more, can you tell me something?"

Gu Ruobai smiled gracefully, took the microphone and said: "The Langya List contains all the talents in the world. The play "Langya List" focuses on redressing unjust cases, supporting wise kings, and revitalizing mountains and rivers. It tells the story of Mei Chang, a talented Qilin scholar. Su is unparalleled in talent, clears away the fog with his weak body, is clever and treacherous, and engages in a series of struggles to clear up years of unjust cases and support the new king... From the beginning of creation, the company has paid great attention..."

Gu Ruobai talked freely on the stage and revealed the theme and creativity of the TV series.

After that, two directors were invited, and during the Q&A session between host Sa Saoning, a preliminary impression was initially formed in everyone's mind: this will be an imaginary historical conspiracy drama with the color of a serious drama.

Afterwards, Gu Ruobai took his seat, and the two directors, Sa Beining, Kong Sheng, and Li Xue, began to introduce the main actors.

The order of appearance of the actors, from the secondary actors, to the main actors, and then to the leading sequence.

When each person appears on stage, his/her huge standing photo will appear on the curtain behind the stage.

The last person to appear is naturally Qiao Yi, who plays Mei Changsu.

His appearance was also accompanied by background music, and in the middle of the curtain, there was a photo of Mei Changsu dressed in white, who looked like a handsome young man and gentle as jade, which gave the media present a huge surprise.

The previous leading actors, such as Wan Qian who played Princess Nihuang, and Zhang Ruoyun who played Prince Jing, who are gentle and heroic, rich and gorgeous, and upright, have already given the media a lot of surprises.

Although the custom-made photos cannot explain the quality of the final product, just the high-value custom-made photos and the sophisticated production style revealed have already given a lot of attention to many TV, satellite TV platforms and Internet platforms who intend to introduce this TV series. Great confidence.

Therefore, when Qiao Yi's customized photos came out, many people already had the urge to take out their checks and fill in the numbers casually.

And the cameras of the media reporters kept pressing the shutter.

At this time, the two directors, Kong Sheng and Li Xue, had already gone down to take their seats.

"The ice and snow in the world are reflected in the distance, and the dark fragrance is floating in the river. I know the hero's road all over the world, and there is Meilang on the left of the river with his head bowed."

Sa Beining talked about Mei Changsu's verdict in the play and asked Qiao Yi curiously: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing such a script and creating such an almost perfect character?"

Qiao Yi took the microphone and slowly told everyone the story that had been made up in his head: "I have been familiar with the Three Kingdoms since I was a child, and I am very envious of the characters in the Three Kingdoms. It is a pity that I was born too late and did not catch up." opportunity to play them."

"Then if I were to give you a choice now, which character in the Three Kingdoms would you rather play?" Saoning asked.

"Zhuge Liang!"

Qiao Yi expressed his tendency without any hesitation, and then explained: "I am naturally irresistible to people with high IQs, especially such a real and perfect person who is 'very wise and almost demonic'. My heart longs for it.”

"Langya ranks first, Jiangzuo Meilang. If you are a unicorn, you can win the world."

Sa Beining once again read out Mei Changsu's comment and asked: "This sentence is probably derived from the saying of 'A crouching dragon and a phoenix can bring peace to the world'?"

Qiao Yi nodded: "It is precisely because of the regret of not being able to play Wolong that I came up with the idea of ​​creating a character who is also 'more intelligent and almost demon'. Then, during the creation process, I added some popular plots and revenge plots, It makes this person look less unreal, and then there is this "Langya Bang".

"No one knows what the script of "Nirvana in Fire" is like now. But I heard that you intend to change the play "Nirvana in Fire" into a novel and publish it, right?"

"Yes, the novel has been completed now, but the specific publication time depends on the publisher's arrangements."

"Then we are looking forward to it!"

Afterwards, after asking some more questions, the opening ceremony started, and all the main creative staff took a group photo on stage. After that, it was time for the main creatives to accept exclusive interviews with the media.

After the press conference, the crew immediately entered the efficient shooting.

The two directors are divided into two teams, one is in charge of Mei Changsu's appearance, and the other is in charge of other characters and court scenes.

More than 20 days later, on the day of heavy snowfall in the [-]th solar term, the Qin Palace Scenic Area received its first snowfall, so the director changed the shooting plan for that day and mentioned the snowfall for several snow scenes originally planned for a few days later. this day.

There are not many snow scenes in "Nirvana in Fire", but every scene is a wonderful climax and a point of emotional catharsis.

Although it is possible to make snow and even post-production special effects with the current technical conditions, in terms of background and atmosphere, it is still not perfect in front of real snow.

So taking advantage of the first snowfall, the crew stepped up the pace of shooting.

Fortunately, for three consecutive days, the snow continued to fall.

After filming this episode, other scenes were filmed normally until the end of the year, before the Spring Festival, the crew was on vacation, and the actors temporarily left Hengdian Film and Television City where they had been staying for two months, and went home.

During the first Spring Festival after traveling back in time, Qiao Yi spent it peacefully with her grandma in her hometown.

At the same time, at the beginning of the new year, the novel "Langya Bang" was officially launched in major bookstores across the country, as well as major online e-commerce platforms.

All of a sudden, Qiao Yi once again dominated the trending searches after the success of several film festivals a few years ago.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, the crew assembled twice.

Then it went to Hengdian, Xiangshan, Zhejiang West Grassland, Yandang Mountain, Wuxi and other places to shoot. In the warm spring of March, "Langya Bang" was finished, and it was transferred to post-shooting.

What's worth mentioning is that in the plot of King Jing's wedding, Qiao Yi secretly invited Tang Yixin to play the guest role of Princess Jing, which almost stunned Zhang Ruoyun.

After returning to BJ and finally coming out of the role of Mei Changsu, Qiao Yi really had time to arrange the next work.

First of all, the drama "Introduction to Architecture" can start preparations.

It is worth mentioning that, after everyone's discussion, the name of this play was changed from "Introduction to Architecture", which seemed unclear, to "Etude of Memory".

Because in the script, Qiao Yi forged the name of a group at the end of the last century. Among them, "Etude of Memory" runs through the youthful part of the hero and heroine, showing the implicit feeling of first love at that time.

Because it is a modern play, there are not many characters in the play. Except for the young and middle-aged versions of the male and female protagonists, there are only three or four main characters left, so it is easy to start the role.

Hu Ge and Zhang Zifeng have already booked the roles of the middle-aged hero and the young heroine respectively, and there are no auditions for other roles.

As a middle-aged heroine, when filming "Nirvana in Fire", Qiao Yi thought of a suitable candidate, Wan Qian, who played the role of Princess Nihuang. After reading the script, Qiao Yi agreed.

As for the other roles, the young man, Qiao Yi chose Liu Haoran again.

Liu Haoran's performance in "The Unknown" was very good, but he did not appear in the same scene as Zhang Zifeng from beginning to end. This time, he could film a youth love scene that ended before he could even confess his love.

"Speaking of which, when will you prepare your first movie?" Gu Ruobai asked Qiao Yi with a smile after discussing the filming of "Etude of Memory".

"Let's wait for a while. After this movie is finished, we will probably start filming Brother Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2". There is probably no time in the first half of the year, and there is also the recording of "Longing 2". Wait until these two things are over Now, let’s think about the movie again.” Qiao Yi thought for a while and said helplessly.

"At that time, the filming of the tip of the tongue will be almost finished." Gu Ruobai reminded Qiao Yi.

"Well, I've been paying attention."

"That's fine, as long as you make arrangements yourself." After Gu Ruobai finished speaking, he stopped talking.

At this moment, Qiao Yi's cell phone rang, and a call came in suddenly.
