"The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" announced the choice of the male and female protagonists to the outside world as early as early September. The most eye-catching thing is of course that the famous film and television actress Sun Li will play the heroine Zhen Huan, portraying the growth of a simple girl who is not familiar with the world.
She is a deep palace woman who is good at seeking power.
However, many netizens and fans of the original film raised objections after seeing the posters and stills released online, and the casting issue became the focus of controversy for a while.
It is generally believed that Sun Li is a fresh and natural girl next door, while Zhen Huan needs to reverse the beauty and smart heart of all living beings, and in the end she has that kind of momentum, and Sun Li is not suitable for that kind of momentum.
To put it bluntly, Sun Li's previous screen image was that of a pretty girl, and she didn't do many costume dramas. The inherent impression she left on movie fans limited everyone's imagination.
At the same time, amid the controversy over Sun Li's role as Zhen Huan, netizens also spontaneously provided their favorite candidates for Zhen Huan. It turned out that Tong Yali, who had successfully portrayed Zhao Feiyan in "Mother of the World", was the most vocal.
Because in this drama, Zhao Feiyan went from being pretty before entering the palace to becoming charming and scheming by all means to get the emperor's favor after entering the palace, and turned against her sister, whom she depended on for life. Her temperament and experience are quite similar to Zhen Huancong's.
In particular, Tong Yali's appearance in this drama is particularly beautiful, and she was even given the title of "the most beautiful woman in ancient costume" by the audience.
This is a genuine comment made by netizens, and there is no deliberate hype factor in it. Cheng Hao has always been worried about this when he asserted to He Xin that Tong Yali could not play Zhen Huan, and he did not hesitate to come forward in person to support his best friend.
There is not much controversy about the male lead, Uncle Jianbing, because Cao Cao, played by Uncle Jianbing in the previously popular "New Three Kingdoms", is quite popular.
Oh, one more thing, when netizens spontaneously voted for Zhen Huan, Cheng Hao also received a lot of votes. The reason is that her role as Diao Chan in "The New Three Kingdoms" was particularly amazing. The reason why she did not surpass Tong Yali in the end was because netizens soon
Posted a photo of her with a bloated body and a big belly.
At this time, the paunchy heartthrob was sitting in a brand new 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter RV. This purely imported Mercedes-Benz Sprinter RV was specially ordered by He Xin for his wife after Cheng Hao became pregnant.
3.5 displacement, 6-seater ring-shaped sofa, lifting coffee table, which can be lowered to reveal a large bed, National IV emissions, equipped with bathroom, refrigerator, cabinet, TV, DVD, surveillance camera, new car costs RMB 1.58 million, and is now nearly RMB 1.8 million.
When he picked up the new car, Cheng Hao complained verbally about why he bought such an expensive RV, but his expression of surprise could not be suppressed.
Today was the first time she traveled far away in a RV, and she specially called Tong Yali, Chu Qing, and Yaya's assistant. The four women chatted non-stop.
The driver was still the same uncle that He Xin helped find for Cheng Hao. He Xin sat in the passenger seat and used text messages to understand the situation at the scene with Xiao Douding, who had rushed to Jietai Temple early in the morning.
Most of the main creators including director Zheng Xiaolong, screenwriter Wang Xiaoping and the author of the original work are here. The leading actors such as Sun Li, Pancake Uncle, Barbecued Pork Fen, Wang Kai and others have already started to put on makeup. Because the weather is not very good, it started to rain early this morning.
, a highlight scene that was originally open to the media after the opening ceremony was cancelled. After the opening ceremony, it was scheduled to be filmed a scene in which the emperor and the queen, played by Pancake Uncle and Barbecue Fen, worshiped Buddha at Jietai Temple.
The scene in Jietai Temple was mainly to film the scene where Sun Li temporarily became a monk after being forced to leave the palace, and then the whole crew went south to Hengdian for filming.
A well-produced TV series is inseparable from the control of the director, the superb performances of the actors and a capable behind-the-scenes production team.
The reason why He Xin decided to cooperate with Zheng Xiaolong in the first place was because Zheng Xiaolong's scenes were absolutely guaranteed and he had enough contacts in the industry.
Sure enough, He Xin was shocked when he saw the list of behind-the-scenes creators: Photography director Xie Ze, who is the official photographer of the National Master, was responsible for last year's "Three Guns" and the currently being screened "Hawthorn Tree Love".
It is his photography work; lighting engineer Li Tianlei, "Let the Bullets Fly"; art director Cheng Haozhong, the new version of "Dream of Red Mansions"; styling designer Cheng Minzheng, Olympic makeup stylist, and other works "Confucius", "Revolution of 1911"; costume design
Cheng Tongxun, "The Orphan of Zhao", "The New Three Kingdoms".
These people are all top-notch people in the country, enough to support a blockbuster movie, and can be gathered into the production of a TV series. It must be said that Zheng Xiaolong, a big boss in the Beijing circle, has enough face.
Jietai Temple is located on Ma'an Mountain in Mentougou on the outskirts of Beijing. After exiting the Fifth Ring Road and walking along National Highway 108 for a short distance, then go up the winding mountain road to arrive. As soon as the car arrived outside the mountain gate, there was already a sea of people here, including the media.
Journalists and star-struck movie fans.
Seeing the Mercedes-Benz RV drive in, many reporters and movie fans gathered around.
Suddenly someone shouted: "Congratulations!"
Good guys, they immediately gathered around and slapped He Xin who was sitting in the passenger seat. Fortunately, Lu Xiao arrived in time with the security guards, opened a lane, and guided the RV directly to the No. 3 parking lot inside.
.
This is probably the parking lot inside Jietai Temple. There are security guards at the entrance, so no one can get in. There are also three RVs parked in the parking lot, which were rented by the crew and are specially used for Sun Li, Pancake Uncle and Barbecue Fen.
Used by three leading actors.
Nowadays, when filming, all kinds of production costs and actors' salaries are rising. The total investment of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is 70 million, and the shooting period is nearly nine months. According to the script, there are a total of 90 episodes and more than 1,500 scenes. Sun Li is one
She took up nearly 900 scenes and almost 60 episodes. Based on the salary of 180,000 per episode, her salary alone was as high as 10 million.
"Xiao He, welcome to guide the work...Hey, Xiao Cheng is here too!"
Hearing that He Xin had arrived, Zheng Xiaolong braved the drizzle to welcome him out, followed by two women, one older and one younger.
"Director Zheng, as you said, I'm just here to join in the fun."
He Xin quickly walked a few steps to shake hands with him, and then said hello to the two women.
"Teacher Wang! Teacher Wu!"
The older one is Zheng Xiaolong's wife, the famous screenwriter Wang Xiaoping; the other young one is the original author of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem", and she is a genuine middle school teacher.
He Xin had met these two before, but it was Cheng Hao's first time interacting with her. However, her spectacular belly caused the two women to exclaim.
"How many months?"
"When students ah?"
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
We quickly became familiar with each other.
"Can the press conference still be held?"
The original press conference was arranged in the square in front of the Main Hall, but it rained that day and it was not easy to hold.
"Ask how many Zen rooms have been borrowed from the temple, and we can make do with it for a while. There are just too many media reporters coming, more than a hundred of them!"
Speaking of this matter, Zheng Xiaolong also has one head and two big heads. Today's power-on ceremony will not allow him to blame God for not helping.
He Xin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "You have money and water!"
Jietai Temple was a royal temple in the early years. It covers a large area and is a 4A-level scenic spot in the capital. To be honest, this is the first time for He Xin to come here after staying in the capital for so many years. The same goes for Cheng Hao, but at least she can still
I have been to Xishan, the Summer Palace and other surrounding scenic spots. Apart from filming, the only tourist attraction that He Xin has ever visited is probably the Forbidden City.
Zheng Xiaolong welcomed them to a secluded small courtyard with security guards guarding the door.
"This is the courtyard for entertaining guests in the temple. It is now lent to the crew. The makeup, costumes, props warehouse, and actors' rest are all here."
The side room is a warehouse, and makeup, costumes, and actors' rest are all arranged in the main room. He Xin and Zheng Xiaolong just entered the courtyard and happened to meet Sun Li coming out of the main room.
At this time, she had put on makeup, a white centerpiece, a sky-blue monk's robe, and a monk's hat on her head, looking like a little nun.
Her eyes lit up when she saw He Xin.
"Brother!"
Braving the light rain, I trotted out to greet him.
"Take it easy, don't get your makeup all wet." He Xin quickly stretched out his umbrella to help her hold it.
"Brother, I thought you were still filming in Yunnan, why didn't you tell me in advance..."
She was just talking to He Xin with her head raised and a smile on her face, when she suddenly saw Cheng Hao with a big belly appearing at the door with Tong Yali's support, and she was stunned subconsciously.
Cheng Hao also immediately spotted Sun Li standing under her husband's umbrella. His eyes flashed quickly, but his face immediately changed, and he smiled actively and said hello: "Oh, Lili, it's been a long time."
Gone!"
Sun Li was obviously not as good at changing her face as she was, so she reluctantly grinned and shouted: "Uh, Sister Cheng, long time no see."
"That's right, why don't you come over to our house now? Oh, by the way, we have moved, don't you know?" Cheng Hao had stayed in Shanghai for several years, and at the end he even showed off a pidgin Shanghai dialect.
"oh, I know……"
As she said that, she glanced at He Xin quickly and said, "I just don't know the specific address."
"Yes, your brother didn't tell you? Let me tell you, our new home is right here..."
Cheng Hao reported his home address with a smile, and specifically asked the chubby glasses assistant who had just run over with an umbrella to write it down. He had been with Sun Li for several years.
Then he took the initiative to hold Sun Li's hand and said enthusiastically: "Anyway, you are filming here during this period. Come and play at home when you have time! I am very bored at home raising a baby all day long, so you can just talk to me."
…”
He Xin looked at his wife's coy look, frowned, and quickly interrupted: "Okay, don't get wet in the rain here, go in quickly."
Cheng Hao glanced at him quickly, then smiled at Sun Li and said, "Look at me, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm so happy. Let's go in."
He actually held Sun Li's hand and wouldn't let go.
Sun Li had no choice but to give her a hand: "Sister Cheng, the floor is slippery, be careful!"
Only then did Tong Yali have the opportunity to say hello to Sun Li: "Sister Li!"
In fact, she was a little embarrassed when she saw Sun Li. After all, she used to work for a company. This time, the Internet was abuzz with controversy over the role of Zhen Huan.
Sun Li just nodded towards her, still acting like the first lady in the company.
To be honest, Sun Li has certainly seen the spontaneous casting calls made by netizens on the Internet. She is also an extremely strong person, otherwise she would not have been able to reach this point in these years. She has already secretly made up her mind to play the role of Zhen Huan well.
, fight for yourself.
As for Tong Yali, the relationship between the two was normal, and she played the role of one of Zhen Huan's mortal enemies in the palace, so she subconsciously took on the emotions.
Tong Yali was not a light-hearted person. When she saw the other party's cold look, she might have given the first sister some face if she was still in the company before, but now... Huh, she curled her lips and raised her head proudly.
Of course, the one with the most arrogance now is the big-bellied woman between the two. Sun Li and Tong Yali supported her from left to right and walked into the main room in a swaggering manner.
