Chapter 249: Entering the group to practice martial arts
On New Year's Eve, Fang Jing's schedule was in the middle, with a proper C position, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a simple denim jacket that almost froze him into a dog.
When he sang, he made bursts of vibrato. People who didn't know better thought he was showing off his skills, but it was actually because he was too cold.
After singing a song, I immediately went backstage and hid in the lounge. I turned up the air conditioner and couldn't get out.
Wu Jiajia quickly handed him clothes and hot water.
Taking out his mobile phone, Fang Jingjin watched the live broadcast on Xiangnan Satellite TV. Han Hong, Sun Bei and other guests who were on the singer show this year were all there.
The same goes for Liu Wei. He joined Tianyu Media at the invitation of the leadership of Xiangnan Satellite TV, and his family members naturally appeared on their own programs.
Kuaiben, Tiantianxiang, now Liu Wei has appeared in these two major variety shows several times, and his fame is much greater than when he was in Huanrui.
Fang Jing looked at the number of her Weibo followers, which was more than 20 million, comparable to the average second-tier followers.
After flipping through the contacts in his phone, he edited the New Year greeting messages one by one and then closed the phone. It would naturally be sent on time as soon as twelve o'clock passed.
…
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five...two, one, 2016! Happy New Year to you!"
At twelve o'clock, gorgeous fireworks shoot up into the night sky, colorful and wonderful, and every household is filled with festive smiles.
Another year has passed!
"Yi Feng, can you say a few words of blessing to your fans?"
"I wish everyone a happy family and happiness."
"Liying, what about you?"
"I wish my fans good health and family reunion."
A large number of media were surrounding the aisle, and every celebrity passing by was pulled to say a few words.
Without walking down the aisle, Fang Jing finished wishing the audience New Year greetings on the stage, walked out of the employee passage to the underground garage, got into the studio car and left quietly.
A week later, the actors from Laojiumen joined the group to practice martial arts.
Cheng Weiting, Zhang Ming'en, and Hu Genghao, who plays Chen Pi's Ah Si, play a lot of scenes. In order to cooperate with them, Xu Shi, the producer, rented an empty basketball court for them to practice, and even used the pressure of the crew to get it.
It was freezing and snowy, but unfortunately all the martial arts had to be performed before filming even started, and Fang Jing also followed suit.
Outside the basketball court, several RVs were parked. After practice, one came up and the other came out again when the body was warm.
"The cartwheel whip kick is not good. It's not strong enough, and it doesn't have that kind of sharp momentum. I need a substitute to do this move."
"Flying on the knees can be done, the actors can do it themselves."
"You can do a 360-degree backflip, pass!"
"I'm not proficient enough in this set of small-inch boxing, so I need to practice more."
"The Hong Quan is very powerful and the horse's steps are very steady. I must have practiced it before. It's passed!"
On the side, Lu Xing and Lin Dong were training one by one with small notebooks. If there were some action actors that they couldn't do, they would write them down and go back to find a professional martial artist to act as a stand-in.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. With constant fighting and training every day, everyone's physical fitness and martial arts routines were basically memorized, and the expected month was not used.
All the scripts were handed over to the actors, and they memorized the lines in the car when they had nothing to do. In more than ten days, Ying Haoming and Cheng Weiting finished correcting all the lines.
On the twentieth day, Fang Jing asked everyone to take photos of all the makeup, and three days later, he went home early to celebrate the New Year.
On the last day of January, the crew sent out all the final makeup photos taken and announced that filming of Laojiumen will begin next month.
Fang Jing, Zhao Liying and Cheng Weiting forwarded it one after another, and other less-famous actors and crew posted a small amount one by one for the audience to search.
Cheng Weiting's makeup is the most handsome! He wears a warlord coat that is fully stretched by his frame, black boots, and black gloves. He is extremely domineering. In one word, handsome!
Zhao Liying wears a dark blue cheongsam with a sable draped over it. Her hair is tied up, her forehead is at the level of her eyebrows, and she wears a silver-white silk mesh cover. She looks like a lady from a wealthy family.
There is also a pure white coat, full of fairy spirit.
Compared to the lead actor, the supporting characters such as Fang Jing are relatively simple, wearing a white cloak with a red costume underneath, and their hair is modeled after the 37-part hair style during the Republic of China period.
Ying Haoming has his head turned sideways, wearing round-framed old glasses, a Republican robe, a long scarf, and is reading with his left hand and right hand. He has the elegance of a scholar and a bit more cunning.
Zhang Mingen wears a plaid suit, which is no different from modern youth.
It was the first time for several actors to see photos of themselves wearing makeup, and they couldn't wait to repost them.
In Yanjing, Cheng Weiting, who was about to go home and get on the plane, looked at his makeup photos and smiled bitterly, and said to the agent next to him: "I may have an extra label now."
"This is a good thing. You were supposed to enter the market for Gu Jian Qi Tan the year before last, but you kept pushing it until it was very late today. From this morning to now, your meager number of fans has increased by more than 1.2 million."
"I have a hunch that maybe you want to get angry!"
"I hope so!" Cheng Weiting sighed.
It is ironic to say that after working hard in the Mainland for three years, I have not gained much fame and I have not been filming many dramas. Unexpectedly, because of a makeup photo of the Laojiumen crew, it has been trending several times today, and my fans have increased greatly.
He is not the only one whose fans have grown. Ying Haoming is also very popular among the supporting actors. The image of Qi Tiezui he plays is so consistent with the original work. In addition, many viewers look familiar to him and search for his name.
"I didn't expect that he is actually an old actor and has acted in many TV series."
"I thought he looked familiar, but it turned out to be Ling Duan from the ancient sword!"
"Don't you understand this? Ling Duan's martial arts was abolished and he was reincarnated as Qi Tiezui, and Senior Brother Ling Yue became Zhang Qishan."
Thanks to the promotion of the publicity team, the topic of Laojiumen was included in the few hot searches for seven days in a row.
In order to maintain the popularity for seven days, Xu Shi invested 3 million from the crew's funds. This was because Fang Jing's publicity team did not charge him labor fees, otherwise an additional 3 million would have been needed.
You Fang Lao Dao: "When you see other people filming online dramas to make money, you also want to film them. Is Xu Shi crazy? He wants to follow the trend in everything. And Fang Jing, can't you sing well? What's the situation with your own acting skills that you don't have any points for?"
"To find a bunch of third-tier actors I've never heard of as the lead actors, the directing team will be crazy poor, bah!"
Hai Weiwei: "Fuck! I couldn't help but come in when I saw this post. I didn't expect it to be you, a troll."
"Tell me! How much did you charge? Third-tier actors, thanks for your words, Zhao Liying, Fang Jing, Cheng Weiting, these casts are much better than Tomb Raiders Notes."
"And the investment is 100 million, which is several times higher than that of Tomb Raiders Notes. The director, production and camera are all top-notch. In comparison, Tomb Raiders is more like a money trap."
The louder the noise online, the happier the crew will be. Don’t let this free advertising opportunity go to waste.
On New Year's Eve, in Chengdu, Fang Jing and Fang Hui had dinner, dad went to the kitchen to cook, and Xu Li went to visit the left-behind students and couldn't come back for the time being.
The TV was on in the living room, and the Spring Festival Gala was singing three hundred and sixty-five blessings.
"Brother, if you don't want to watch it, can you turn it off? It's very noisy!"
"Does it bother you to eat your food?"
The Spring Festival Gala is becoming more boring every year. Not to mention this life, I haven’t watched it in previous lives for many years.
Ever since Uncle Benshan left, every year has been worse than the last.
