Chapter 345: A Lifelong Mistake at First Sight

Chen Zhaoguang was at the company when he received a call from Hu Xiaoxiao and asked, "It's just been sent to post-production. Does Sister Xiao have any instructions?"

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Stop the post-production first. Jiang Muyang's scenes need to be retaken."

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhaoguang asked, "Do you want to complete his scenes? Sister Xiao, aren't you recuperating now? Your health is the most important thing. Jiang Muyang's scenes don't affect the story, and Mr. Huang has also agreed to delete them."

"It has nothing to do with me. It's about the second part of 'The Queen of Hong Kong,'" Hu Xiaoxiao explained the situation to Chen Zhaoguang. Then, he added, "If we want to increase the role of the male lead, Tang Bin, in the second part, it would be best if he left a deep impression on the audience in the first part. I suggest that the director reshoot Tang Bin's scene and try to make his image as perfect as possible to increase the audience's anticipation..."

Chen Zhaoguang is very optimistic about "The Queen of Treasures and Hong Kong." Although it has not yet been released, with the support of Hu Xiaoxiao, it is sure to be a hit, and the second part is naturally ready. Using Tang Bin's image to warm up the second part is a very good idea and can also provide free advertising for the second part.

"I will contact Zhendong immediately to reshoot this scene." After Chen Zhaoguang hung up the phone, he immediately found Jia Zhendong to discuss reshooting Tang Bin's scenes.

In the movie, the character Tang Bin is a vase, handsome, rich, and good-tempered, which fits the imagination of young girls.

In order to portray the role of Tang Bin well, Jia Zhendong put a lot of effort into Jiang Muyang, making him look tall, rich and handsome. But now, after hearing his boss's expectations for the second part, he suddenly felt that the original film was indeed not perfect and could have added some highlights.

Jia Zhendong called Jiang Muyang back and asked the image designer to re-style him, trying to make him so handsome that people would fall in love with him at first sight.

To this end, Jia Zhendong and Liang Jiafeng discussed the decision to reverse the order of Tang Bin's appearances. In the original scene, Tang Bin appeared very early, shortly after the beginning of the plot. Now, they decided to have Tang Bin appear at the end, frozen in the final scene.

In order to shoot this scene well, Jia Zhendong borrowed a newly bought sports car from his boss Mr. Huang for filming. At the same time, he referred to the image of William, a new and popular actor in the film industry, and kept adding to Jiang Muyang's image.

"Then you call Yunxiao, and when Yunxiao turns around, you open the car door and get out of the sports car. First stretch out your long legs..." Jia Zhendong explained the scene to Jiang Muyang, asking him to look handsome and charming.

Jiang Muyang himself has been handsome since he was a child, so he has a lot of experience in how to be handsome and how to make girls scream. Moreover, he admires the image of his boss Huang Sheng very much, and he also added some of his own to the scene described by the director.

"I think you should also wear a pair of glasses to look more refined." Jiang Muyang also rolled up his sleeves, revealing the smooth and strong muscles on his arms.

Jia Zhendong actually found a pair of glasses and asked Jiang Muyang to put them on. Then he took a few steps back, looked at them for a while, and shook his head.

Perhaps because he was used to the boss's appearance, he felt that the combination of Jiang Muyang and glasses was far less good-looking than the boss.

Instead, the image designer at the side had an idea. He found a pair of sunglasses and asked Jiang Muyang to put them on. He said, "After you get off the car, the camera will focus on you. Take off your glasses and look up at Yunxiao with a smile. The meaning of sunglasses is to hint at your dark side. Beneath that harmless smile, there is hidden danger."

The designer also redesigned Jiang Muyang's hairstyle, making it a flowing 3:7 split.

After watching it, the director immediately asked Jiang Muyang to shoot a trial segment.

"Yunxiao."

As Yunxiao turned around, a red sports car stopped and the door opened. A pair of slender long legs first stretched out of the sports car, and then Tang Bin, wearing a white shirt and sunglasses, walked out gracefully.

He removed his sunglasses and smiled at Yunxiao, his three-dimensional features softened with the smile. Beneath his heroic sword-like brows, a pair of black eyes seemed to hold starlight, gleaming and full of affection.

"Jiang Muyang, your smile just now was a little too big. Be a little more restrained and give the audience more room for imagination." Jia Zhendong asked Jiang Muyang to reshoot.

Jiang Muyang went back and started over again——

"Jiang Muyang, the way you got out of the car just now wasn't graceful enough. It was a bit too hasty. Do it again."

…

"Jiang Muyang, don't smile before you take off your sunglasses. I'll take a close-up of your handsome features first, and then you can slowly smile."

…

"Jiang Muyang, what's wrong with you? Your smile is so stiff? Do it again!"

Jiang Muyang swore that he would never like to laugh again.

After so much effort, everything was perfect, but after the director finished filming, he shook his head and said, "Today's weather is bad, the lighting effect is not ideal, and the background is not bright enough. Jiang Muyang, let's shoot tomorrow. Tomorrow it will be windy and the weather will be clear. Then you can drive over in a red sports car under the blue sky. When you take off your sunglasses, your 3:7 hairstyle will be blown by the breeze, and you can smile again..."

Under the director's abnormal requirements, Jiang Muyang took a full week to shoot this shot.

Then the film will speed up its post-production and be released as quickly as possible.

When "Baogang Super Queen" was released, Hu Xiaoxiao's burned skin had not yet healed, but she had been discharged from the hospital and returned home to recuperate. However, she was unable to participate in the film's promotion.

For this reason, the gossip newspapers fabricated a lot of news, and some even said that she was in love with Huang Yuliang, and was pregnant, with her pregnancy already visible, and was staying at home to take care of the baby, so she didn't appear in public...

As you can imagine, when Hu Xiaoxiao recovered and made her debut two or three months later, gossip newspapers reported that her belly was flat and she was suspected of having a miscarriage.

In order to make "The Queen of Hong Kong" a hit, Shengshi Entertainment invested a lot of manpower and financial resources in distribution and promotion, and the film was everywhere with various posters promoting "The Queen of Hong Kong".

In order to get more screenings, Shengshi Entertainment is willing to give an additional 5% profit margin to theaters in order to secure good schedules and showtimes.

Hard work pays off. As soon as "The Queen of Love" was released, it became the most anticipated movie by the audience.

Hu Xiaoxiao is a guarantee of box office success. She is the center of the poster and immediately attracts people's attention. Hu Xiaoxiao is different from her previous screen image. She is still beautiful and dashing, and she is wearing a heroic uniform. This makes the audience who have seen her movies choose this movie as the first choice when they go to the cinema.

The film is of excellent quality. The action scenes are both thrilling and funny, and the subject matter is the currently popular police and gangster film, which makes the audience who have seen it praise it.

With its good reputation and more screenings, the box office of "Baogang Princess" is getting higher and higher, constantly setting new records.
