The next day, the "Blind Face Bell" incident began to unfold. This time, Zhong Yunqing gained another false title of "King of Pretenders" in the eyes of passers-by and anti-fans.
And as the first nationally recognized "King of Games", this guy is really hated by people with gritted teeth.
Not to mention, he is indeed the first one who dares to pretend to be so fresh and refined. The reason is very simple, it is still 2007...
At this time, whether it is Xiao Ma who has a small house, Lao Ma who is not interested in money, Lao Wang who has a small goal of 100 million, or the original face-faced Dong Dong, they are all still in the stage of hard work.
As for those on a smaller scale, such as Peking University, it’s OK, let alone a CCTV intern!
At this time, Zhong Yunqing is already a well-known actor and director with the support of four hit dramas and a movie with a box office of over 40 million. In terms of popularity, he is already qualified to pretend to be like this!
But the strange thing is that even after the name "Blind Face Bell" spread, passers-by and anti-fans started shouting "beat and kill" him! In his and Sisi's fan groups, this incident did not cause much backlash.
The reason is actually because fans are used to it! As the most liked post on Tieba said:
"I don't know what those people are so angry about. They say that your girlfriend is not beautiful and it bothers you! Anyway, I have long been accustomed to this guy's ability to mess around. Every time I participate in interviews or interviews, he doesn't
I'm not used to making big noises. That's why I don't understand, it's just a "face-blind clock", why are you making such a fuss!"
"Yes, it's just a young couple flirting. What's so angry and so dark? I'm really speechless! But I still want to say, Zongzi Da Da, if you don't think Sisi is pretty, then let it go! We
I think she is as beautiful as a fairy... Just let us help you protect her..."
As long as such a comment is highly praised, Zhong Yunqing's true self will definitely reply: "You are thinking about eating peaches!"
Of course, just like the previous life, such small disturbances come and go quickly. After all, the other kings are still dormant, and he himself is obviously unable to influence public opinion.
For the majority of otakus, no matter how good Sisi is, she is still a "married woman". Netizens argued about it for two days and the popularity subsided.
However, another piece of news that just came out is different.
Because the recording of "Red Zhao Yuan" was in a hurry, Zhong Yunqing still entrusted Lao Cai to help find a team to record. The matter spread quickly.
After all, Zhong Yunqing has composed classic songs such as "Just Once". Now he has composed another song, and it is an ancient song with the theme of four beauties...
Originally, this was not big news, after all, it had not happened yet. However, the rumors included Liu Yifei, Liu Sisi, and Zhao Liying and Tong Liya, who have been in the limelight recently...
Isn't this a coincidence? A song about four beauties in ancient times, and Zhong Yunqing happens to have a good relationship with these four popular actresses now!
So everyone thought: these four actresses will sing together and play the role of four ancient beauties... Well, don't mention it, just thinking about it is very worth looking forward to!
Of course, no matter what the outside world speculates and speculates, Zhong Yunqing is preparing step by step according to the plan.
In the next four days, there will be no night scenes for Liu Feibao. She will come to Zhong Yunqing's house after dinner to practice dancing and chorus skills of this song with several other partners.
The reason why they can practice it well in a few days is not because they are geniuses, but because the song "Red Zhao Yuan" is not complicated in terms of lyrics, music and dance. They all have a certain foundation, so it is easier to practice.
Well, of course, Feibao didn't come here by herself every time, but came with her mother. And in order to avoid suspicion, every time the mother and daughter came to the gate of the community, Sisi and Yingbao would go out to pick them up.
Nowadays, various rumors are speculating about Zhong Yunqing's new song and the four beauties... So even if Fei Baotian and Sisi appear mysteriously in the community, there won't be any random rumors.
As for Zhong Yunqing, Feibao's mother is not as rigid as the outside world rumored, and it is quite easy to get along with her. She is just divorced, so she has a high degree of dependence on the female goose.
Of course, part of it is probably due to Zhong Yunqing's status as a well-known director. After all, she plans to let Feibao stay in the film and television industry for a long time. People of Liu's age should understand the principle of multiple friends and multiple paths.
Thorough.
But then again, Fei Bao's mother is indeed a national first-class dancer. When Zhong Yunqing had just finished dancing "Red Wishes" for the first time, Mama Liu saw that this dance was more suitable for little girls.
Then she studied for a whole night and helped make some improvements suitable for these big girls to dance... Zhong Yunqing exclaimed that it was amazing!
A few days later, the costumes and headwear specially customized by Zhong Yunqing arrived, and the crew of The King of Kung Fu also finished shooting the plot in Hengdian and were ready to go to other places again.
Then Fei Bao resisted the pressure and took two days off from the foreign director of the film to cooperate with Zhong Yunqing's shooting plan...
Anyway, all the MV was shot in Hengdian, so there were two days left.
This time, Zhong Yunqing suddenly had the idea of having these four actresses with outstanding looks in ancient costumes sing "Red Wishes" together, and the four beauties in ancient costumes would play the four beauties in ancient times... To be honest, he himself felt like a dream.
Moreover, Zhong Yunqing is not just copying "previous life". He has been in the entertainment industry for several years, and he also has his own understanding of these scenes.
Therefore, in his adaptation of "Hong Zhao Yuan", in addition to the scenes of the four beauties singing together, there are also the city and the Qin Palace. But when it comes time for everyone to sing alone, he is ready to shoot the environmental backgrounds of different eras.
For example, Yaya, who plays Xi Shi, was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so her clothing and surrounding environment must be consistent with this period of history;
The order of dynasties is deduced in this way.
Wang Zhaojun, played by Fei Bao, is from the Western Han Dynasty, and Diao Chan, played by Ying Bao, is from the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Whether there are any differences in the costumes and environments of these two girls, Zhong Yunqing also pays great attention to the details in this aspect.
When it comes to Concubine Yang played by Sisi, it is from the Tang Dynasty period, and it is another style.
As for why Sisi was chosen to play the role of Concubine Yang, it was not because Zhong Yunqing had any bad taste and wanted her to sound better as a concubine.
Just because this girl is now almost 120 pounds. In addition to her little bun face, her body looks a little bit chubby. She is just right to play Yang Guifei among these girls...
Anyway, she tried to lose weight many times but her boyfriend refused to let her, so the girl has given up on "struggle"!
Another thing is that Zhong Yunqing spent a lot of money on his version of "Hong Zhao Yuan"!
After all, the version sung by the little girls in the previous life could not capture the historical weight of these ancient beauties due to budget and age constraints.
And Zhong Yunqing has just made a lot of money through movies and hit dramas, and he has no financial worries!
So on a whim, this guy invested more than two million in order to shoot this MV, which lasted about six minutes...
The reason why he spent so much money is simple. He didn't just want to create a classic song that could stand the test of time.
Moreover, he required that the costumes should be prepared based entirely on historical data, and that the MV should be made into a costume template so that no one can fault it! He wanted to create a super MV that could withstand the scrutiny of details by various experts and scholars!
You are a reborn person! Either don’t do it, or do it to perfection!
Among them:
Xi Shi washes the sand; Zhaojun goes out of the fortress; Diao Chan dances; the imperial concubine smiles... He arranged about half a minute for each short story.
You know, two million is already the investment for many small-budget movies nowadays, just for a MV of a few minutes?
Even Lao Cai, who had always admired him, felt that he was too serious this time, and he couldn't spend money like this if he had money!
But Zhong Yunqing came from a later generation, and he was very certain, or in other words, firmly convinced!
With the support of Fei Bao, Sisi and Yaya Yingbao, girls with very good looks in ancient costumes, "Hong Zhao Yuan" can be said to be a hit as soon as it comes out.
As long as the song becomes popular, you can imagine that just selling copyrights will make your hands cramp from counting the money! Why care about this "petty profit!"
Although he thinks this guy is "stupid and rich", Lao Cai is still quite generous. In order to cooperate with Zhong Yunqing in filming this MV, this beautiful boss is also very considerate and responds to his requests.
Not only did they suspend the filming work of the crew, they also "lent" a number of leading actors and actresses of the Tang Dynasty to him.
This time, Tangren Film and Television really showed off their best talents!
Among the four short stories, the first one was filmed first: Diao Chan performs a dance.
Since Diao Chan is Ying Bao, then Dong Zhuo will naturally be played by Lao Hu!
Zhong Yunqing has such a bad taste, he just wants this young couple to "fall in love and kill each other". Humph!
Well, actually Ying Bao's dancing is pretty good. Apart from her height, this girl looks quite attractive when she dances.
For this filming of "Diao Chan Dances", Zhong Yunqing invited dozens of extras, and also asked several Tang Dynasty actresses to cover their faces with gauze and perform court dances with Ying Bao, restoring the scene from the 1994 version of the Three Kingdoms.
Lao Hu put on a big beard and wore the official uniform of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, sitting there calmly and confidently. He really looked a bit like Dong Zhuo...
I finished the Diao Chan scene in an hour, and then moved on to the next scene. Next, Sisi played the role of Concubine Yang.
Since the palaces and buildings of the Tang Dynasty had not yet been built in Hengdian at this time, we did not shoot the exterior scenes this time. We directly rented an area and built and decorated the interior layout of a Tang Dynasty imperial concubine.
During the filming, the two palace maids who followed Sisi were not ordinary extras, but Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong.
Zhong Yunqing asked these two girls to play maids for Sisi, not to humiliate them, but to maintain Chef Fang's popularity.
You must know that such a MV that brings together four popular female stars is basically a must-have. Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong have no other films to shoot in a short period of time. At this time, they can follow Sisi and the others to gain some exposure in the MV.
, and can also maintain the good impression left on the audience in Chef Fang’s hit drama.
It is worth mentioning that in this version of the Hong Zhaoyuan MV adapted by Zhong Yunqing, the scene of Yang Guifei is not just about the master and servant playing around and eating lychees. It also includes the sentence "The concubine riding on the red dust laughs, and no one knows that it is the lychees that are coming."
The poem is summarized completely.
The half-minute short story about Concubine Yang will be edited in ten seconds to include several additional shots of the cavalry at various stations transporting lychees non-stop.
Then in the rest of the chapter, lychees are delivered to the palace. Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong are in frontal shots, dressed as palace maids, helping Sisi choose lychees.
Finally, there is a close-up of Sisi's mouth eating lychees, and a close-up of a satisfied and sweet smile.
After filming the Sisi scene, the short story of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress was immediately followed.
It is different from the little girl's look back in the previous version. Zhong Yunqing has no shortage of filming funds, so he cannot just shoot this scene casually.
It's about making the scene as big as possible.
At this time, Fei Bao, who was dressed in an all-red Hanfu and a similarly red cloak, was helped onto a simple carriage by a maid played by a Tang Dynasty actress.
In order to film Zhaojun's departure from the fortress, Zhong Yunqing recruited more than a hundred actors to play the role of ordinary people on the roadside. Then there were more than thirty stuntmen who were tall and powerful. They wore Han army cavalry standard armor and each rode a horse.
, playing the role of the Han Dynasty cavalry escorting Wang Zhaojun...
And there is another thing worth mentioning, that is, Zhong Yunqing himself made a guest appearance as the leader of the escort general.
In just thirty seconds of MV footage, Zhong Yunqing played such a big battle! It can be said that the lineup of this MV is enough to star in a big movie!
Of course, there is one thing to say: if you are acting in a movie, even if the current salary is not as outrageous as in later generations, the production budget of two million is not enough to pay these well-known actors and actresses!
The filming team started at the city gate. When everything was ready, Zhong Yunqing shouted "Start."
Fei Bao opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look at it with a reluctant look on her face.
"Click..."
"Sissi, it will be difficult for Wang Zhaojun to come back once he leaves, so if the action of turning back can bring some tears in the reluctance to leave, it will be more expressive!"
"Ok, I see……"
Zhong Yunqing then continued:
"You need to brew your emotions first. If you really don't feel anything, we'll add props... There's no need to waste too much time on this."
The "props" mentioned here, Fei Bao knew were eye drops. She shook her head stubbornly:
"Director Zhong, I am an actor..."
These words gave Zhong Yunqing a new understanding of this Filipino, who was later called "box office poison".
She got off the carriage, stood at the city gate and suddenly looked back, with tears in her eyes...
This girl still has plasticity, but she has acted in too many bad movies in the future, and she has gradually lost herself!
The last little story is much simpler. It doesn’t have as many extras or big scenes as the previous ones. It’s just the beautiful scene of Ying Bao playing with a handkerchief by the stream.
The short stories in the MV were shot first. It is a rare opportunity to shoot a song together, and every short story was carefully crafted.
"Okay, I'll shoot the other three short stories in the morning, and then shoot the scene with Diao Chan looking at the moon in the evening."
