"Sister Sisi..."
At the exit of an airport in Yanjing, Zhong Yunqing and Sisi were waiting here when they saw a little girl running toward them carrying a small purple schoolbag.
The two of them wore glasses, which made them easily recognizable. So other passengers coming and going were curious about who the young couple picked up...
Well, in fact, she is just an ordinary little girl. But the only little girl that Zhong Yunqing and Sisi can pick up in person is probably Jiang Jiaen's little friend.
For this little girl who almost became the go-to girl for both of them, both Sisi and Zhong Yunqing really liked her.
When Sisi saw her running towards her, she hurriedly took a few steps forward to follow her, then looked at her carefully, and Sisi scratched her little nose:
"My Doudou has grown taller and fatter."
"Yes, I'm already in the second grade! Of course I have to grow taller! But I'm not fat!"
No matter what age a girl is, the word "getting fat" is an absolute taboo!
At this time, Zhong Yunqing naturally wanted to make fun of her, using a funny tone from the side:
"Wow, we, Dou Dou, are already in the second grade. How awesome! Rounding it up, we will graduate from college soon!"
As a result, his joke was messed up. Xiao Doudou couldn't understand it, so she tilted her head and looked at him and then at Sisi:
"Can I go to college in my second year?"
After hearing this, Sisi immediately punched Zhong Yunqing on the shoulder and said angrily.
"Look at you, you've led the child crookedly. You are not allowed to talk nonsense anymore!"
At this time, Xiao Doudou's parents also walked out from the exit pushing a small suitcase. Because they knew it was the young couple who were picking up the plane, the couple walked a little slower.
Then when he came closer, Father Jiang looked at Zhong Yunqing and Sisi and said:
"Yun Qing, Sisi, I'm really sorry for having to trouble you to come pick me up at the airport every time..."
At this time, Zhong Yunqing stopped teasing the children and continued to follow Father Jiang's words:
"Brother Jiang, don't be so polite. It's because Sisi and I both like Xiao Dou Dou, so we'll come over to pick you up when we have time."
Then he stepped forward and took the suitcase and said softly:
"Okay, it's not convenient to talk too much at the airport. Let's go home first."
The few people had just walked a few steps to the parking lot and put their suitcases away when they saw several men and women who looked like entertainment reporters approaching from all around.
"Zongziju, can we briefly interview you?"
Zhong Yunqing asked Doudou and his family to get in the car first, and then he and Sisi faced reporters together.
"Okay, you can ask."
"We just saw you and Sisi picking up a little girl at the airport, can you tell us..."
"Oh, it's nothing. This little girl is the childhood role of the heroine that Sisi will play in the next drama. We came to pick her up this time just to allow the child to adapt to the filming environment in advance."
"Really? A small guest role actually requires Qingshi to come to pick him up at the airport. Is it possible that the mainland entertainment industry is so united and friendly now?"
Zhong Yunqing's words are fine for deceiving children, but they obviously have no effect on these entertainment reporters who have been involved in the film and television industry for many years.
Although he could also see that the reporters expressed disbelief after hearing these words, Zhong Yunqing had no intention of continuing this topic.
Moreover, he put on a mask for Doudou from the beginning and did not allow reporters to take photos at will. This can be regarded as a kind of implicit protection for this little girl.
"Zongzi, there was news some time ago that your and Sisi's next drama will be about military affairs. Are you ready to start filming?"
"Yes, there will be news about the launch in the next few days."
"Can you tell me who the cast is?"
"Forget it, you will naturally find out when the launch conference is held."
After saying these words, Zhong Yunqing asked Sisi to get in the car, and then put his hands together and made an apologetic expression:
"Okay everyone, we have other things to deal with later. Please give way. Let's talk about it next time when we are free..."
Since Zhong Yunqing became famous, he has never set up any obstacles in interviews with reporters, and he has never been a big name. Therefore, everyone pays attention to maintaining this relationship. Seeing that he really has no other topics that need people to care about, they all dispersed.
Make it easier for him to turn around.
list of actors
…………
A few days later, the crew held a launch press conference and launch banquet at a hotel in Yanjing.
The shooting schedule was relatively tight, and there was no time to hold a press conference a few days in advance like other TV series. The press conference was held in the morning, the opening party was held in the afternoon, and then the filming started directly the next day.
At 9:30 in the morning, the invited media set up filming and recording equipment. Several leading actors took the stage one after another.
Since the training in the army was kept secret before, except for the plots of Zhong Yunqing and Sisi, which need to be exposed in advance, the rest have not been announced.
Now everyone was wearing military uniforms without leading military ranks, and the media finally got a clear look at the cast of this drama.
The seats on the rostrum were announced, with Zhong Yunqing and Sisi sitting in the middle. Director Liu Meng should have been sitting in the middle, but he was a "freshman" after all, and he hadn't figured out how to face so many media.
The first female reporter who was called up to ask a question was asked by Lao Hu with a brisk look on her face.
"Hello Hu Ge, I'm a fan of yours. I'm looking forward to hearing that you're starring in a military drama this time. But I'm also curious, why are you willing to take on such a supporting role?"
"I feel that my acting skills are very average, and I need to do more filming to practice different roles. And I have always acted in idol dramas before. This time playing the role of a special soldier is not only a training for me, but also more.
Having some experiences with different characters is a great opportunity for an actor’s growth.”
"Then are you and Li Ying related in the drama? We all know that Zhong Yunqing and Sisi play a couple, so if you, Li Ying, are also filming this drama, is there also a couple scene?"
"Well, I won't spoil the inconvenience of being a couple here. Everyone who follows the drama will naturally understand."
This drama was originally shot in Yanjing, and about a month later it was moved to Qiongdao to shoot the scenes in the rainforest.
Needless to say, Hou Yong's acting skills are very decent. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is also a professional in military-themed film and television dramas, and he plays military officers.
This time when filming Special Forces, the casting aspect actually changed little from the previous one, that is, three new faces were added: Zhong Yunqing, Hu Ge, and Yuan Hong.
Among them, Zhong Yunqing naturally plays Xiaozhuang, and Lao Hu's funny nature, playing the role of a paratrooper is also a genuine performance. After all, the female armed policeman and paratrooper played by Ying Bao are a pair, and there is a kiss scene in the plot, so it would be inappropriate not to let Lao Hu play the role.
.
Yuan Hong plays the role of Shi Dafan, the health worker. After all, he and Lao Hu have been good friends since the beginning of the drama. They are familiar with each other, so it is easier to get into the role of a couple.
Then there is Zhang Jianing, who plays the role of Xiaoying’s best friend in the army and the daughter of the lieutenant general.
Mao Xiaotong plays the drug lord's female goose Ma Qitong in this drama. The girl doesn't mind that Zhong Yunqing always arranges these roles for herself, because she is very confident in Zhong Yunqing's TV series. As long as she has the opportunity to film, she will not play any role.
Urgent. What's more, although this character is the female goose of a drug lord, she is not bad in nature.
Then there is Yaya. She is actually only a guest star and only has a few scenes.
Originally, Zhong Yunqing also wanted to have an all-star cast for this drama like Chef Fang. Later, he thought about it and let Liu Meng play freely. After all, the actors he knew were not necessarily suitable for military themes.
The street is embarrassing.
Fortunately, Liu Meng has a pretty good eye for casting, and he picked out most of the characters from the vast crowd.
The boss is still Ren Tianye. His appearance looks like a tough guy, which is very suitable for the character selection of this special forces commander.
Then the other members of Lone Wolf Group B are no different from the previous life. They look a little younger than in the previous life. But this is understandable. After all, I was a special forces soldier in the previous life. The project started in 2009, and now it is two years ahead of schedule.
There are many, and the actors are naturally younger. They all have professional backgrounds, so they should be pretty much the same when filming.
These actors are all little-known now, but they are very dedicated to cooperating with Zhong Yunqing in a drama, and they are also very serious and hard-working during training.
…………
The opening ceremony is skipped here. Not to save money, but this drama is about special forces after all. Putting an incense table at the door of our most elite unit will always give people a feeling of being out of place.
You must know that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have no longer believed in ghosts and monsters, especially the military. I have only believed in one thing: all fear only comes from insufficient firepower!
The sky is full of gods and Buddhas, and how many teachers do they have!
So Liu Meng and Zhong Yunqing discussed it and skipped the opening ceremony themselves, and started filming the first scene directly the next morning after the opening banquet.
There is no army scene today, and the first scene is a famous scene, which is the hostage incident of the little girl on the first mission of Lone Wolf Group B.
Zhong Yunqing invited Yaya to guest star as the mother of a kidnapped little girl.
But there is a small episode here. In fact, Sisi originally planned to play the role of "Mama" herself. After all, she had long wanted to hear Xiao Doudou call her "Mama". If it hadn't been for Zhong Yunqing's
If there was any obstruction, she would have already taken action.
However, as soon as Sisi proposed this idea to Zhong Yunqing, he quickly rejected it.
The reason is also very simple. With him as an investor, this drama is not like Liang Jian but has limited filming funds, and it is not like Liang Jian to have one person "guest" multiple roles.
Moreover, she was supposed to play two roles by herself. Playing Xiaoying and Yatou was already enough for her to keep busy. This girl unexpectedly wanted to play a supporting role...
"Sister, you are really not afraid of being criticized by the audience!"
The filming location was not far from the military camp. It was a community housing military dependents on the army side. There was a fairly large police station nearby, and I could invite someone to help with the filming of this scene.
After all, it is a TV series fully supported by the troops stationed in Beijing. As for the props, including rifles and sniper rifles, the individual equipment used in the filming today except for the lack of live ammunition, the rest are real!
So a Warrior from the reconnaissance company drove to the set, moved a few boxes from it, and opened it to see that they were all various individual combat suits. Such as bulletproof vests, armed belts, scopes, etc.
These equipment are supervised by the troops before filming begins, and the actors are only allowed to wear them when preparing for filming.
No, Zhong Yunqing had just completed the handover with squad leader Han Li and led several actors to change their costumes.
Sisi watched all this from the outside, and then saw Zhong Yunqing taking a set and going to the dressing room. Sisi rolled her eyes and sneaked in too.
She wanted to see Zhong Yunqing put on a special forces combat suit. She had never seen him wear a body armor when he was in the army. She was curious whether her boyfriend looked handsome in these.
"Hey, do you even remember the lyrics of that children's song of yours..."
"Don't worry, Director Zhong. If we can't remember these lyrics in half an hour, then those of us with a background in majors will all be in trouble!"
"Okay, let's get ready, we'll start shooting in ten minutes."
"Dou Dou, come here."
When the little friend next to Yaya ran over, Zhong Yunqing rubbed her little head and said:
"Come on, I'll teach you a line, you can finish it like me, and then make a scared face and let me see..."
The little girl didn't know why, but she nodded obediently:
"Yeah. It's very simple to follow your instructions."
Then Zhong Yunqing pretended that he had been kidnapped by the kidnappers, and started to perform:
"Mom, I want to go home...Mom!"
"Come on, say this again."
"Mama, I want to go home..."
After Xiao Doudou finished speaking, Zhong Yunqing shook his head. It was indeed a bit overwhelming to ask a little girl with no acting skills to perform a frightening performance.
However, the little girl in the previous life was too eccentric, so he still wanted to train her as much as possible so that Dou Dou would have less negative history in the future.
Then, remembering that something was missing, Zhong Yunqing shouted to Song Shiying who was drinking water not far away:
"Xiao Song, bring over the eye drops I just prepared..."
"Oh, okay. The girl put down the water glass and ran over with it.
"Come and shake, I'll give you two drops of eye drops and try shouting again."
Although he performed it again with tears in his eyes, it still didn't meet his expectations, but it was much better than the first few times. Once Zhong Yunqing saw that he could get by, he stopped being so serious.
After all, making TV series is not like making movies, which requires excellence. TV series usually have dozens of episodes, and a little bit of polishing is not impossible, and the shooting expenses will be like running water. Even if he has a net worth of over 100 million, he still can't afford it... so
As long as most plots are coherent enough and have few flaws, they basically meet the requirements.
"There is a group of elves on the other side of the mountain and on the other side of the sea...ah, cute little rookie, cute little rookie. They worked together and used their brains to defeat the veteran team, singing and dancing happily..."
