I got off work late, and I only finished the first draft without having time to revise it. Let’s read it later.
I will try to change it into a chapter of 5,000 words. Please forgive me. (Changing the word count is free of charge)
…………
After the group entered the door, a dozen outsourced temporary security team members quickly formed a human wall to block the reporters who were following them outside.
Boss Cai's secretary was already waiting at the front desk. When he saw Zhong Yunqing and Sisi walking in front, he quickly straightened his shirt and walked over to greet them.
"Here you guys, please, I'll take you up."
Zhong Yunqing met her last night, so when he saw her coming to guide him, he smiled and nodded in response:
"Secretary Song, I'm sorry to trouble you."
As Lao Cai's secretary, she was certainly aware of Zhong Yunqing's "entanglement" with Tang Ren. So when she thought that this young man in his twenties might be able to take over Tang Ren in the near future, she responded very politely:
"You should, don't be polite to me."
I have to mention here that Lao Cai’s secretary is called Song Shiying, and her name is quite nice.
So to put it aside, when I learned this name yesterday, Zhong Yunqing was still thinking a little unscrupulously: Could it be that one of this girl's parents is also a "traveler", and that her aesthetics are similar to Zhong Yunqing's?
.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that when Zhong Yunqing was preparing to enter the Tang Dynasty with two buns, a female secretary with such a nostalgic attribute and whose name included "Shi, Ying" appeared inexplicably...
Okay, maybe this is just a coincidence, and Zhong Yunqing is indeed overthinking it.
After getting out of the elevator, Secretary Song walked in front and continued to use standard etiquette to guide Zhong Yunqing and others to a large independent space that looked about 300 square meters, like a dance studio.
However, this place has obviously undergone some temporary renovations, and nearly half of the area has been divided into small spaces with plastic boards.
Song Shiying explained some people’s doubts:
"This is the big classroom where we usually train newcomers. But this time, because it is a costume play, there are many actors trying on costumes, so it has been temporarily changed into a dressing place. It will be restored to its original state later."
Zhong Yunqing nodded after hearing this, took Sisi's hand and followed her inside.
Anyway, both of them have been exposed for more than half a year. They are a real "old married couple" and he is not afraid of others gossiping.
As for Sisi, with her salty fish attributes, she let him lead her more casually. However, Ying Bao, Zhang Jianing, and Mao Xiaotong who were walking behind them began to curl their lips without leaving a trace, seriously disgusting these two.
At this time, don’t forget the “shameful” behavior of spreading dog food!
At this time, all the actors who were supposed to come for the costume fitting had already arrived. Except for the relatively big names, Huang Qiusheng, who played the role of Huang Yaoshi, was not seen. He probably would go directly to the studio to shoot only for his part.
Although this guy is a "gang, du"! But his character has nothing to do with his acting skills. He is a great man who has won three Academy Awards. This still needs to be acknowledged.
As for the other actors who are preparing, or most of the familiar faces that Zhong Yunqing played in the drama in his previous life, you can basically see them.
Zhong Yunqing looked over one by one and found that these actors were basically the same as in the previous life. Apart from the male and female protagonists, the main part was basically the more familiar "gang, tai" actors.
There is nothing we can do about it. If the drama "The Condor" were to rely on Tang Ren alone, there would be no way to assemble the main cast.
Because the scale of the Tang Dynasty during this period was still relatively small, far less powerful than that of later generations. At least now we can’t see the relatively well-known Lin Gou, Jin Chen, Li Randi, and Yaomei...
There are only two actors who are really well-known in Tang Dynasty. One is Lao Hu, who is barely considered a first-tier actor, and the other is Sun Li, who is barely considered a third-tier actor. However, Sun Li terminated her contract and married Huang Sanshi after playing the role of Sword One. Yuan Hong is now
He was still a "passer-by", but he really started to become known to the public when he played Yang Kang.
But then again, there are actually a few changes to the cast list for this version of The Condor Shooting.
Sisi was going to play Huang Rong, so Zhong Yunqing knew the cast early. Maybe it was because of him being a little butterfly that Sun Xing, who was supposed to play Hong Qigong, still found reasons to refuse the role like he did in the previous life.
Then during the fitting period, it was temporarily changed to Liang Jiaren, whom Zhong Yunqing is familiar with. That is, the martial arts champion in "Tang Bo Hu Spots the Fragrance of Autumn" by Master Xing.
Although Zhong Yunqing doesn't like the actors in these two places very much, but after all, he is not qualified to care about these things now.
However, Zhong Yunqing came from a later generation, and he did not have the same "inferior" mentality towards the entertainment industry of this period as mainland actors did towards "high status".
But other people don’t have this mentality. Just like Wu Jing, who is the leading male lead in the mainland, but when he went to Gangdao, he still started out as a walk-on and a supporting role. That kind of bitterness...
In fact, at that time, people did not stand in God's perspective like Zhong Yunqing. He knew that the "gang, di" entertainment industry at this time had gradually declined compared with the booming mainland market.
It's just that this process has not yet appeared, and it needs a little catalyst. That is to say, wait until Teacher Chen takes action and "catch all the new eras over there in one fell swoop!"
Then many well-known actors had to abandon their figures and go north to the mainland to "dig for gold". After all, making money does not require distinguishing between regions.
According to the original timeline, the mainland entertainment industry would have to wait until after 2010 to grow enough to compete with the "gangti"...
However, Zhong Yunqing is confident that this will end faster.
When we arrived at the audition area, only Sisi could enter for the time being. Secretary Xie was about to lead Sisi to the dressing room dedicated to the heroine, and then Lao Hu also walked in from the outside.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhong Yunqing and Sisi bringing a few girls from yesterday, so they walked over with a smile and said hello:
"Lao Zhong, Sisi, you guys are here so early."
When Sisi heard what he said, she couldn't help but look at the watch on her wrist...
"It's still early, it's already ten o'clock, Cauldron!"
"Ahem, aren't we saying hello out of politeness?"
After saying that, in order to demonstrate his embarrassment, Lao Hu then continued: "Just in time, it's almost time. Sisi will go with me to change clothes first."
After speaking, he thought for a while, and then continued to say to Zhang Jianing and the others:
"You girls... let's do this. I'll ask my assistant to take you for a casual tour of the company first. After taking the makeup photos for a while, I'll invite you all to dinner."
Ying Bao is no longer as excited as she was when she saw Lao Hu yesterday. The only thing she is worried about now is whether she can survive Lao Cai's "dangerous eyes". So she is extremely nervous now.
As for Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong, they had no objections to Lao Hu's arrangement.
These two girls came here with the mentality of "tourists" to see the inside of the "legendary" Tang Dynasty. Now that Assistant Lao Hu can take them "around", they naturally have no objections.
So they all waved their hands and said:
"Well, you are busy with your business. Guests are welcome."
As for Zhong Yunqing, he also felt that Lao Hu's arrangement was okay, so he allowed the two girls to be led out by his assistant.
"Then let's do this for now. Where is your boss Cai? I'll take Li Ying to find her first."
At this time, Song Shiying finally found an opportunity. She interrupted and said to Zhong Yunqing:
"Mr. Cai is in the office, and he should be with Director Lin now. I will take you there now."
"Okay, Sisi, you go put on your makeup first, and I'll come find you later."
"Um."
Sisi was treated like a heroine, so she was directed to the dressing room.
"The heroine has a cheeky face, and the heroine still has a cheeky face. This..."
After Boss Cai interviewed Xiao Zhao Tongxiao, he and Zhong Yunqing went backstage to share their thoughts.
"What's the point? My idea is that we want to train our own people. Xiao Zhao, you may not think she has a round face, but this child is very hardworking. I dare to say that aggressive girls like her will either be completely wiped out or destroyed.
Make a name for yourself. I prefer the latter..."
There is a saying, in fact, in the previous life, since Sisi left the Tang Dynasty, Boss Cai’s ability to praise people has declined again and again. This is especially obvious for Hu Bingqing and Yaomei. Of course, this is also related to the lack of high-quality resources in the later generations of the Tang Dynasty. In 2015
After the first part of "Wuxin Master", there has never been a new hit drama in Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty film and television industry, which "produced by Tang Dynasty must be high-quality products", has completely declined. It is very sad.
Cai Yinong obviously still had little confidence in Ying Bao, and responded with a frown:
"I still want to think about it again..."
"Lao Cai, don't be too stubborn. Look at Fei Bao, and then look at Shi Bao now. In fact, girls with round faces are potential stocks. Instead of letting other actresses take the role, you might as well let Liying try the water. Wan
She became famous instantly because of this!"
"Also, whether you let her play Mu Nianci or not, I will still support her. I will arrange her role in my movies in the future. Again, I am very optimistic about the success of Liu Yifei and Sisi.
This little bun."
"Because she is cute! We can hold her up and see a genre of "cute girls" that is different from "pretty", "sexy", "good figure" and so on. Don't you think this is super interesting!
"
"And how should I put it, this is an intuition. I am more optimistic about her future development."
"The future is so elusive, how can you be so sure?"
"Because I am absolutely convinced that there are enough actresses with oval-shaped faces and snake-shaped faces in this circle. If one or two dumplings suddenly come in, there is still a lot to be done. I even think her future achievements may reach the level of Liu Feibao.
!”
Zhong Yunqing said so much, and Lao Cai was also seriously considering it at this time. One thing Zhong Yunqing said is right. There are not many girls with bun faces in the circle now, and the only two are now red and purple. It proves that now
Audience aesthetics are undergoing some changes.
"Okay, let her try it."
She is just a supporting female character, if she finds out that she is popular, she will accept my love.
Well, if Zhong Yunqing knew that Lao Cai now considers issues no longer in black and white, he would definitely feel very relieved.
And from the moment they met, Zhong Yunqing has been trying to change Lao Cai's behavior. From now on, Tang Ren will still focus on his works and will not play the trick of smearing and spreading rumors.
Because of his intervention, Sisi is already much more popular than at the peak of her previous life, and no longer needs to rely on "Little Liu Yifei" to accumulate attention.
And without the "Little Liu Yifei" incident, now she and Fei Bao have not thought that the whole Internet is black and have made a fuss.
So without this, if Fei Bao is invited to star in the Sword and Sword movie in the future, maybe he will get a chance... Deep in Zhong Yunqing's heart, he has always regretted this big movie that was promised for ten years.
After all, this is a big movie with a box office of over 2 billion!
…………
After settling the issue of Ying Bao's participation, dressing up in ancient costumes is troublesome and basically impossible to complete in less than two hours. So Zhong Yunqing did not wait in the dressing room, but slowly visited Tangren Film and Television with Zhang Jianing and the others.
About an hour and a half later, he returned there. Yingbao and Sisi had already dressed up in ancient costumes and took various selfies. Several girls asked the staff to help take a lot of photos. Especially Yingbao, who was so excited about her wrists
I took several photos of Lao Hu’s arm.
The little excitement of a little fangirl standing together with her idol is vividly expressed.
…………
Well, how should I put it, the costumes are still the same as those that Zhong Yunqing saw in his previous life, and the actors who came to take pictures are almost the same ones that he saw in his previous life.
Not to mention, the costumes in this version of the Shooting Condor are really not that good. Especially the belt that Huang Rong tied around her waist.
Probably because of the same little boy face, Ying Bao looked perfectly at ease wearing the same Mu Nianci outfit that Sisi wore in her previous life.
"Old Zhong, how about it, do I look good in this outfit?"
"You look good no matter what you wear!"
"That's pretty much it!"
…………
"Lao Zhong, I was chatting with Sister Na in the dressing room backstage just now. She asked me when we were free and could go to their place to play."
Sisi's statement made Zhong Yunqing a little strange. He looked at Sisi and asked:
"Wait a minute, sister, when did you get another "Sister Na"?"
Sisi bared her teeth and responded sheepishly:
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, it's Xie Na, the one who hosts Happy Camp. She plays Hua Zheng in this drama."
Oh, having said that, Zhong Yunqing remembered that Xie Na did play Hua Zheng in Lao Hu's version of The Condor. The TV series aired in 2008 always seems "old" to him, a soul from 2021, and he can't remember it.
It's normal to live with other actors.
But Zhong Yunqing didn’t plan to go to a variety show. So even if he thought about it, he still shook his head:
"You said Kuaiben, I think those games are crazy, so we'd better not go there."
But how could Sisi listen to his sophistry? She had a very happy chat with Xie Na just now, and she had also watched a few episodes of Kuai Ben and thought it was a very enjoyable program. It was also quite interesting to go and play.
So Sisi stepped forward, grabbed Zhong Yunqing's arm and shook it, and started acting coquettishly and cutely:
"Hmm...but I think it's quite fun. Let's go and play if we have time?"
"You also said "you have time", but you forgot that you have to learn sign language during this period, and then you will come to the Condor Shooting crew immediately after filming. How can you have time? Be good, stop being naughty."
Zhong Yunqing dislikes variety shows from the bottom of her heart. They are all arranged using scripts. What should be done and what should be said are all arranged accordingly. They are like puppets on strings. It is so boring!
"That's right. I feel quite busy during this period. I really don't have much time."
Sure enough, Sisi calmed down completely after hearing her boyfriend's reasons. Then she stopped acting like a coquettish girl and became possessed by Master Shi again.
When I looked at the makeup photos, there were still about twenty minutes left,
So, she let go of his arm and ran to where Ying Bao and the others were to chat.
