Chapter 51 Joining the group of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3"
April, Hengdian
Wei Yang got off the car. This was not his first time coming to Hengdian. The total time he spent here with his team in his previous life was a few years.
But every time he comes to Hengdian, he sees the antique landscape and the sense of separation of time and space caused by the passers-by wearing modern clothes, which always makes him lose his mind.
"It's funny. When I first came back, I walked around Hengdian in my free time. It was quite interesting."
Liu Shishi, who was riding in the same car, looked at Wei Yang's expression and thought he was shocked when he saw Hengdian for the first time, so he shared his experience.
"Really? I really want to take some time to play here. I'll ask you to be my guide later."
"no problem."
Liu Shishi readily agreed, with "Twinkle Twinkle Star" waiting behind her. She and Wei Yang naturally felt a sense of closeness when they got along with each other on the set of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
"You guys go to the hotel with me first, and we'll arrange a makeup trial in the afternoon."
The actor coordinator came over and led Wei Yang and others to the hotel. Although "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is considered a large crew with high standards, it is still very cost-effective.
Most of the actors and staff were given double or triple rooms. Wei Yang was assigned a double room, and since he had no assistant, he shared it with others.
Living in the same room with him is the famous supporting actor Teacher Yue Yueli, who is a well-known professional master/father and the actor who plays Tang Kun, the grandfather of the heroine Tang Xuejian in the play.
Teacher Yue has an assistant, but he seemed to be busy with some personal matters and took a long leave, so he was assigned to Wei Yang this time.
Yue Yueli arrived one day before Wei Yang. Seeing that his new roommate was very enthusiastic and the socially awkward Wei Yang immediately slapped him on the stick and started chatting with him.
"Teacher Yue, I have really grown up watching your dramas. I have watched "Wanjun" and "Green Grass by the River". It is really an honor to meet you today."
"Oh, you are from Yu Province. I always thought you were from Taiwan Province. That's good. We are related to each other from Lu and Yu. We are half fellow villagers."
"Don't be polite, just call me Xiao Wei. If you have anything to do in the future, just talk to me. Come on, Teacher Yue has a cigarette."
"..."
By the time Yuan Hong and Liu Shishi came to see him downstairs for lunch, Wei Yang had already bought beer and cooked food, and he and Yue Yueli were eating the specialty beef that the latter brought from his hometown, and drank from one cup to another in the room.
Liu Shishi and Yuan Hong couldn't help but look at each other, somewhat in a trance.
Didn't Wei Yang only act in one play, so the two of them knew each other?
Only then did Yue Yueli remember that Wei Yang had to try on makeup in the afternoon, so he quickly stopped him: "I can't drink anymore. I want to drink it tonight. You are trying on makeup and the alcohol tastes bad."
To Wei Yang, this amount of wine was no different than drinking water, but he didn't want to offend his senior's good intentions.
"Okay, let us find a restaurant tonight, and I will definitely accompany you there."
"No problem, I won't go home until I'm drunk."
"..."
Because it was a Tang Dynasty production crew, it had some special care for its own artists. Liu Shishi and Guo Xiaoting, who was familiar with each other, were assigned to a room. Yuan Hong was senior and the company provided assistants, so the two of them shared a room.
Under this arrangement, the two of them don't have to worry about getting along with their roommates. Before, they were worried that Wei Yang couldn't handle it well, so they thought about asking about it during dinner.
Now it seems that the worries are completely unfounded. With this attitude, a few days later, Wei Yang announced that the two of them were going to marry each other and they all believed it...
…
After finishing lunch and taking a rest, Liu Shishi couldn't help but ask Wei Yang on his way to try on makeup in the afternoon.
"I heard that today you and Teacher Yue met for the first time."
"That's right."
"Then why do you talk to him so well, like an old friend? Can you teach me something?"
"This can't be taught. When I make friends with people, the main thing I focus on is a compatibility."
Just kidding, Wei Yang has social talent and a skill honed over more than ten years of hard work. Even if he wants to teach, he must be able to teach it well.
At least with Liu Shishi's character, Wei Yang didn't think that Liu Shishi was suitable for being a social butterfly.
The place where the makeup was tried on was only a few minutes away from the hotel. We walked and chatted and arrived in a short time.
Wei Yang and the others arrived not too early, and there were several people waiting here when they entered. The first ones were a man and a woman. They were Huo Jianhua and Tang Yan who had joined the group first.
Seeing Wei Yang and others coming in, Huo Jianhua, who was playing with his mobile phone, raised his head and glanced at them. Everyone nodded and gave Wei Yang a special smile.
The most popular member of the cast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" should be Hu Ge, but Huo Jianhua is not far behind.
He made his debut in Taiwanese puppet theater and acted in seven idol dramas in one year, gaining initial popularity. Later, he moved to the mainland and encountered the hit movie "The Best in the World", which made him famous in the mainland.
In the past few years, Huo Jianhua has starred in many works, many of which have good reputations and ratings, and he is considered a popular niche player in the industry.
More importantly, Huo Jianhua is a Taiwanese actor. In the current film and television market, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are half a chip or a chip ahead of mainland actors.
This can be easily seen from the remuneration, according to the information Wei Yang inquired about.
The salary for "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is 40,000 yuan per episode for Hu Ge, while Huo Jianhua, the second male lead, is paid 80,000 yuan per episode.
Even though Hu Ge and Tang Ren may have suppressed some of their remuneration due to some terms, the double difference is enough to explain everything.
Therefore, Huo Jianhua's status in the crew is still somewhat aloof.
Facing new supporting actors like Wei Yang, they just nodded to show friendship, but had no intention of communicating.
However, Tang Yan is not as confident as him.
This girl graduated from the Chinese Theater Academy two years ago. She just signed with Orange Sky Entertainment last year and formed a seven-member post-80s girl group [Chengtian Seven Princesses] with six other newcomers. She is the Tianshu position, which is the eldest sister.
The Seven Princesses of Orange Sky will be regarded as a joke in the eyes of future generations, and six of the seven people did not get out.
However, at this stage, the outside world is still quite curious and concerned about this kind of marketing method, so they still have a certain degree of popularity and popularity.
Tang Yan is currently the most developed of the seven princesses. Through Cheng Tian's channels, she has been with Hong Kong's Fatty King and has made two movies. She is known as "Princess Jing".
But because it was always tepid, coupled with the outbreak of the Teacher Chen incident and the earthquake in Hong Kong, Tang Yan returned to the mainland for development.
It is said that she was able to join the cast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" because her makeup photos of Chu Chu in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" were seen by people in the Tang Dynasty, and she felt that she had plasticity, so she was invited.
This may be true, but the more important thing is that Tang Yan's new manager Ji Rujing is from Taiwan and has deep connections, so she got her into "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
Such Tang Yan has no confidence to show off, so she treats Wei Yang and the others in a cordial and enthusiastic manner.
"I am Tang Yan, and I play the roles of Xuejian and Xiyao in the play."
"I am Wei Yang, playing the role of Demon Zunzhenglou."
Wei Yang shook hands with Tang Yan, looked at Tang Yan with a sweet smile, and thought about Cai Yinong who didn't come to Hengdian with them because of something else, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Lao Cai won't go to intercept Da Mi Mi at this time, right...
…
After a while, the stylist Chen Gufang and the costume designer Song Xiaotao of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" showed up and directed everyone to try on the makeup.
These two are also well-known stylists in the industry.
The former is very experienced and has styled many classic Hong Kong films. She has collaborated with Star Wars and Jet Li all year round. Later she joined Tang Dynasty and has appeared in every classic Tang Dynasty drama.
The latter was also a behind-the-scenes figure in the Tang Dynasty, and was later poached by the dead girl with a lot of money. His representative work is "Story of Yanxi Palace", which is retro and exquisite, and was well received at the time.
The two of them are responsible for the styling, and the other designs the costumes. They jointly created the appearance of each classic character in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".
But today, the two of them had a snack here in Weiyang.
Wei Yang had already fought for the right to participate in the makeup design of Mo Zunzunlou from Cai Yinong. He had actually dealt with Chen and Song before.
There is no doubt that the two of them did not like this kind of actor who questioned their professionalism, and felt that Wei Yang was arrogant.
Even though they later saw the design draft and thought Wei Yang might have two brushes, they were still dissatisfied. It wasn't until Wei Yang tried on makeup and styled his clothes today that they really felt that they had underestimated Wei Yang before.
There are not many shapes in the Demon King Tower, and it mainly focuses on two modes.
One is the battle mode, which is more inclined to games and original dramas. He has black armor and red hair, two big horns on his head, and smoky makeup with contact lenses.
The other is the normal mode. In the game settings, Demon Zunzunlou often hides his identity and hides in the world, so Wei Yang suggested making him look more like a human.
The overall shape of Wei Yang is somewhat borrowed from the male protagonist Dongfang Qingcang in the later "Canglan Jue".
The makeup is thicker than that of ordinary characters, but far from smoky makeup. It mainly highlights the sharpness and strength of the character.
The slightly permed hair is tied back with long hair tied behind the back. The two small golden corners have the function of a headdress, and at the same time bear the characteristics of a demon king.
The clothes are a black robe with dark gold patterns, and there are a few faint red lines. It looks noble and gorgeous, and the hair and eyes are slightly red, which is more fitting for the demon king, but also has a bit of evil charm.
The whole person is now there, with a slender body, a defiant gaze, and indifferent eyes. What stands out is a domineering and luxurious look.
"handsome."
Even the two stylists, who are used to seeing handsome guys and beauties, couldn't help but be a little surprised by Wei Yang's appearance, and they also understood why he insisted on participating in makeup.
The heavy building style they did before is indeed quite different from this one.
Comparing the two, Wei Yang is the Demon Lord of the Six Realms, and what they have got is just a general under the Demon Lord.
However, Wei Yang's face also adds a lot of points to their look. Although it is not as stunning as the above, it is still heroic and domineering and very cool.
Liu Shishi and Tang Yan heard the commotion and came to watch the excitement. When they saw Wei Yang's appearance, their eyes lit up. Liu Shishi looked at his gorgeous and exquisite costumes and even felt a little jealous.
"Are these clothes made according to the role's status?"
"Don't touch it blindly, or you may damage it again."
Wei Yang knocked off Liu Shishi's hand and stroked the black robe with dark gold patterns on his body.
These clothes were not made by the crew. Cai Yinong was reluctant to spend so much money to buy clothes of this level for the supporting characters. Wei Yang found someone to tailor them according to the design draft. The craftsmanship and materials were quite particular. There were four sets in total.
, which cost him 20,000 yuan.
You must know that his salary for this drama is less than 200,000, which is very low-budget.
He had no choice but to look down on what the crew did. In order to achieve good results, Wei Yang had no choice but to bite the bullet and pay for it out of his own pocket. For this reason, he often complained behind his back that Cai Yinong was stingy.
The costumes of the Tang Dynasty are not bad, but it is difficult to say that they are particularly good. Normal props are fine, but some special props and costumes are slightly inferior.
For example, characters like the Emperor of Heaven and the Demon King don't have many roles, but from a plot point of view, the costumes and props need to be more sophisticated. If it was a big crew like that, they would definitely do it perfectly.
Of course, it is a TV series after all. The production schedule is stressful and the cost is limited, so there is no need to be so demanding.
So even though Wei Yang complained in his heart, he didn't force the crew to do anything. He made the costumes at his own expense and could collect them after filming, which was actually not bad.
Wei Yang only had these two looks in total, and the rest was the adjustment of details. The makeup test was very fast.
Liu Shishi is not slow either, and she doesn't have many looks. Putting aside a few of the looks in her memories, she mainly wears two looks: Lan Kui and Hong Kui.
Tang Yan and Huo Jianhua were in more trouble. The heroine Xue Jian alone had more than a dozen looks, and she tried and corrected them one by one.
The two of them started trying yesterday. Wei Yang and the others have finished trying today. The two of them haven't finished yet. They will probably have to try again tomorrow.
It seems a bit tragic, but both Wei Yang and Liu Shishi hope that these tragic things will happen to themselves.
If Wei Yang is really allowed to play the role of Xu Changqing, he will be willing to pay tens of thousands more for costume expenses. Even the extra money is not negotiable...
…
After the makeup trial, Wei Yang took Yue Yueli to drink. Yuan Hong, Liu Shishi and two fellow actors also came to join in the fun.
The crew hasn't officially started filming yet, so everyone is letting it go.
The last time Yuan Hong met Wei Yang, they mainly chatted and didn't really drink much. This time he planned to have a good exchange of feelings with Wei Yang.
What can Wei Yang say? When his senior brother drinks, he will accompany him. When the wine is dry, he will drink as much as Yuan Hong drinks.
In short, the meal lasted until nearly eleven o'clock in the evening. Yue Yueli was okay, at least he could walk back by himself. Yuan Hong could no longer stand and was helped back to the hotel by Wei Yang and Liu Shishi.
After putting the person on the bed, Yuan Hong was already unconscious and helped his assistant clean up. Wei Yang and Liu Shishi came out. The latter helped him all the way. He rubbed his waist when he was tired and couldn't help complaining.
"Why did you drink so much with him? He didn't sleep soundly in the end, and we were tired from the whole trip."
"I didn't drink him a glass of wine."
Wei Yang was also wronged: "He insisted on drinking with me. He said he drank all over Huashan Road during college. I thought I had met a master. Who would have thought that it would be useless in less than two boxes of beer."
Liu Shishi: "..."
"Is there a possibility that people who drink two cases of beer are already very powerful?"
Wei Yang curled his lips: "I'm sorry, in my place, people who can get drunk even if they drink beer have no right to make noises."
The next day, Wei Yang went to visit Yuan Hong, who didn't get up until noon. He looked listless and had a splitting headache. From then on, he never mentioned anything in front of Wei Yang.
However, Wei Yang no longer cared about his thoughts. On the third day after joining the team, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" was officially launched.
Two days later, Cai Yinong announced the change of roles. Tang Yan, who had already taken her makeup photos, was surprised to be stripped of her costume by Lao Cai, and the heroine Tang Xuejian was replaced by the second heroine Zixuan.
On the same night, Damimi joined the cast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" to play the heroine Tang Xuejian...
