Chapter 546 "Please help us... escape from the British Museum!"
"We're almost there... Oh, it's done!"
In a room full of girlish hearts, Chen Yao put down her paintbrush and looked at a clay doll wearing a emerald green gradient chest-length skirt on the table in front of her, and cheered with satisfaction.
After wiping her hands, she took out her mobile phone and planned to take a photo of the doll.
After filming each drama over the years, she would mold a doll of the same style according to her character image, such as Yue Qiluo, Xiao Dingmao, Huayue... She has already accumulated seven or eight.
As for the one in front of her, it is naturally the "Little Jade Pot" Chanzhi that was filmed not long ago.
After retouching the photos, she selected a few selfies and group photos of herself, and then wrote a few words to post on Weibo - she had just left Tangren, and the agency team was disbanded, and it was currently in a state of no one managing it. In the past, these were all handled by special operations, but now they have to do it themselves.
["Little Jade Pot" is freshly baked! The trailer for "Escape from the British Museum" is online today, everyone hurry up and make an appointment! 】
Although she is only an 18th-tier actor, she has been in the industry for many years and has played some popular roles, so Chen Yao has quite a few fans. As soon as the new Weibo was posted, there were various comments and replies within a few minutes.
She scrolled the screen while browsing the comments below. She smiled knowingly when she saw the fans' praise, but she mainly wanted to see if anyone had any questions.
【I took a look at this play, it seems to be a short play. Are Yaomei's resources so bad now? 】
【What can I do? Although the company didn't treat her well before, it still had some resources. Now that she has left, she has nothing. 】
【Ah? Didn't Yaomei find a new company? Impossible. 】
【Everyone, look what I found! This short play "Escape from the British Museum" is produced by Arc Light! 】
【Really... Shit! The name written by the screenwriter is "Meng Bai"! Is it Mr. Meng? 】
【Is there any need to ask? It must be! I take back what I said just now. Yaomei's resources are not bad at all. This is simply amazing! 】
【So, is Yao Mei going to sign a contract with Arclight? 】
【……】
There is a saying in the fan circle that the fans of male stars are half girlfriend fans and half career fans, while the fans of female stars are almost all career fans.
Many fans were disappointed when they saw that their own artists had such poor resources that they had to shoot short dramas. But in the blink of an eye, they found that this short drama did not seem to be one of those crude and bloody dramas on the market. On the contrary, both the subject matter and the team were terrifyingly strong.
Especially the name "Meng Bai" in the screenwriter column, which made the fans excited on the spot.
In fact, normally, this information should have been announced when it was filmed, but Chen Yao had no team at the time, so no one cared about it, which led to the fans not knowing the situation until the drama was released.
But in this way, the fans were more surprised.
Looking at the discussion of the fans, Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it did not cause any controversy.
But then again, the fans' words were not wrong. She was indeed considering which new company to sign with recently.
The last invitation she received was from Arclight, which she had just collaborated with. This is a real "giant" in the circle. Not to mention now, even Tangren in its heyday was far inferior.
However, it was precisely because Arclight was so large that she hesitated. As everyone knows, Arclight has many female artists, and most of them are well-known in the circle. As a newcomer, she may not be taken seriously.
In addition to Arclight, there are several small companies that have invited her, such as Zhongshi Tongcheng, where Luo Yunxi worked before. For such a small company, she would basically be the "number one sister" if she went there.
But then again, if there are no resources, it seems useless to just put on the title of "number one sister".
After struggling for a long time, Chen Yao decided to think about it tomorrow. Looking at the time, she clicked on the official blog of Arclight Film and Television, and sure enough, she saw the trailer of "Escape from the British Museum" that had just been released.
It must be said that the production efficiency of this short drama is really fast. She just finished filming last month, and it has only been two or three weeks before it is ready to be broadcast.
Although Chen Yao is the leading actor, what she sees on the set is definitely different from the final effect. With some expectations, she clicked on the trailer.
[Hello, can you help us? ]
[Who are you? ]
[We are from China like you. ]
[Then, what do you want me to help you with? ]
[Please help us... escape from the British Museum! 】
As the dialogue with many voices fell, the picture suddenly turned from dark to bright - streets full of English style, the iconic Thames River and Big Ben, the magnificent British Museum... and exquisite and ancient cultural relics.
The whole video does not have the crude pictures of the short play at all. Instead, it is replaced by the composition of cultural and tourism documentaries and the transition of movie-level camera movements. With the pure music bgm of "Grace", this trailer is full of majestic momentum.
Even Chen Yao, the leading actor who participated in the filming on the spot, was deeply attracted by this trailer, let alone those ordinary audiences.
【This picture! This quality! This topic! This intention! It's really awesome! 】
【Ni Ma, you told me that this is a trailer for a short play? Are you sure it's not Arclight's latest film project? 】
【A great country, a century of grief. I thought this theme had been filmed almost, but I never expected that there would be such a novel perspective. 】
【All the cultural relics here are real. The "Shi Zhen Grandma" should be the treasure of the Huaxia Pavilion, "Nu Shi Zhen Tu"; "Old Huo Brothers" are two sets of Huobi Landscape Atlas; "Jingtai" is a large cloisonné dragon-patterned jar from Ming Xuande; the old man in the golden wheelchair should be the golden hilt of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the sword body has disappeared in the long river of history...】
【The heroine's small jade pot should be the Chinese entangled branch pattern thin-body jade pot that was given to the British Museum for exhibition a few years ago? However, this should not be considered a cultural relic. 】
【Yes, didn't the heroine say in the trailer that she had just sent it here for exhibition. It is because of her young age that she has the energy and mind to run out. 】
【……】
Obviously, there are still many viewers who are familiar with cultural relics. Just by looking at the few character shapes that flashed by in the trailer, they can tell which cultural relic it symbolizes.
Having said that, the fact that it can be recognized so easily is enough to show that the production team has put a lot of thought into extracting the elements of the cultural relics.
Although it is just a trailer, the excellent production and superb concept shown instantly impressed the audience. Countless netizens spontaneously began to forward and share it. In just one day, the number of views exceeded two million.
At the same time, a large number of netizens left messages under the official blog of Arclight Films, hoping that the feature film can be broadcast as soon as possible.
