"All departments, prepare! First scene, first shot, Exxon!"
In a small forest in Hangcheng, the crew was shooting exterior scenes, pretending it was Mount Qingcheng, and Chen Muyang was shouting with a loudspeaker.
The first thing that appears is a snake. In the close-up shot, it looks quite cute, with its tongue sticking out.
Then a snake catcher comes out, catches the snake he sees, and squeezes out its gallbladder.
All this was seen by a white snake.
The snake catcher saw the white snake slip away and caught it in his hand.
"Hehe, how about it, now I have caught you!"
A cowherd boy nearby was playing the flute. When he saw the white snake being caught, he couldn't help but go up and say:
"Old man, please let it go. It's so pitiful."
"Let it go? It's pitiful? I'm the one who's really pitiful! I'm telling you, I climbed half the mountain just for it. I'm soaked to the skin, and my mouth is smoking. I'm going to get its gallbladder right now."
"Hey, old man, slow down. Aren't you sweating and thirsty? Here are some peaches I just picked. Try one."
"Ah? This..."
"Take it!" The little cowherd stuffed the peach into the snake catcher's hand.
At this moment, the white snake bit the snake catcher, and the snake catcher threw the white snake out reflexively.
The snakes are real snakes, but they are pet snakes without fangs.
The white snake is a harmless pigment.
"Look, now the snake has run away and I was bitten." The snake catcher quickly sucked out the poisonous blood with his mouth.
"Old man, don't be angry. How about you eat the peaches and I play the flute for you?"
"Playing the flute? Well... okay, you play it."
The white snake crawled into the grass and did not go far, so the snake catcher began to look for it.
"Click, passed, passed, get ready for the next one, my son did a good job, awesome!" Chen Muyang praised the kid who played the cowherd boy, who was played by Ergou.
Then continue filming.
The little white snake turned into a little girl, hid behind a big tree, and secretly looked at the cowherd boy.
"Brother Shepherd~"
"Who is it? Who is calling me?"
"Brother Shepherd."
"Who are you?"
"Thank you, shepherd boy."
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for saving my life."
"Who did I save? That's not the case."
"Remember I will repay you later."
"Are you kidding me? Tell me, who are you?"
"My last name is Bai."
"Bai? You must be lost. Come on, I'll take you home."
"No, I can't go with you. Go ahead and we'll meet again."
The little girl hid herself after she finished speaking. After the cowherd left, she secretly came out to take a look.
Finally, he changed back to his original form and left.
“Crack!”
"We've passed, let's change venues." Chen Muyang shouted with the loudspeaker, and then said:
"Niuniu, Ergou, you two come to daddy."
Niu Niu played the little girl who transformed from the White Snake. The two little ones acted very naturally, while Hu Zi stayed at home to accompany his grandmother.
"Dad, am I a better actor than my sister?" Ergou said.
"You're talking nonsense, I'm your elder sister!" Niu Niu glared at her with her round eyes, looking quite like Song Zhuer.
"Okay, stop arguing. You all performed well, very well. Come on, Dad will take you to the airport and Mom will pick you up." Chen Muyang held one of them in each hand.
Their roles have already been completed, so there is no need for them to stay on the set and suffer.
Unable to find suitable actors, he used his own son and daughter to help.
"Dad, is there any more? I still want to act." Ergou said.
"Are you addicted to acting? I'll think about it for you someday when dad is free." Chen Muyang pinched Ergou's face.
After sending his son and daughter on the plane, he whispered something to Song Zhuer and returned to the crew.
What follows is the story that takes place 1,700 years later.
Amidst lightning and thunder, a huge white snake was tumbling in the sea of clouds.
For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere.
A huge white snake coiled around the mountain and transformed into an extremely beautiful woman.
These scenes are all green canvases.
Bai Suzhen, played by Su Ruyan, officially appears.
This drama has a total of fifty episodes, and filming is very time-consuming.
Chen Muyang's filming is in full swing.
More than two months passed in a flash.
The filming of "The Pretender" directed by Liu Qiming has been completed, and the rest is left to post-production, music composition, etc.
And he immediately started filming "Nirvana in Fire"!
The protagonists of both TV series are played by Hu Ge.
"The Disguiser" is a period suspense spy drama set against the backdrop of the Wang Puppet Regime. It tells the story of the three brothers of the Ming family who disguise themselves in various identities and engage in a desperate struggle against the three forces.
"Mu Yang, "The Disguiser" is almost halfway done. Will it be broadcast while it's being produced, or after it's completed?" Huo Tingting called to ask.
“Which TV station did you sell it to?”
"Yuzhou TV offered 2.8 million per episode, and they're willing to produce and broadcast the show. Mango TV offered 3 million, but they want the show in its entirety."
"Then let's produce and broadcast it at the same time, and then release it on our platform simultaneously, and enable advanced on-demand viewing for the last ten episodes." Chen Muyang said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, then I'll have the publicity department start promoting it, and it'll be on Yuzhou TV on May 1st."
"Sure, have the main actors cooperate and release some soft articles, and appropriately release some behind-the-scenes footage."
It is already late April, and May Day is only a week away.
After finishing the call with Huo Tingting, Chen Muyang also began to help promote:
"On May 1st at 8pm, the large-scale period suspense spy drama "The Disguiser" will be aired on Yuzhou Satellite TV. Yes, it's my script again, directed by @Liu Qiming, starring @Hu Ge @Wang Kai @Jing Dong @Liu Min, etc. If it's not good, you're welcome to criticize me!"
Two episodes will be updated every day from Wednesday to Sunday, and platform members can watch two more episodes first.
"Good fellow, it's not good looking, but I dare not hit you. You have so many old Hus at home. If they slap me, I won't need to go to the emergency room and I can be cleaned on the spot."
"I have another TV series!"
"I just watched some behind-the-scenes footage and trailers, and it's indeed okay, but I'm not sure how the whole film will turn out."
"I hope it's a spy drama, but don't let it turn into a fantasy drama."
"Yuzhou Satellite TV? If I remember correctly, Brother Yang has already had several of his TV series broadcast here. Is this to support the TV station in his hometown?"
"Zhehe TV is still undergoing restructuring and can only broadcast dramas and news. Mango TV is the only dominant channel, followed closely by Litchi TV. Now is the perfect time for Yuzhou TV to rise to the top!"
After Chen Muyang posted, he didn’t read the comments and plunged into the intense filming again.
Now "The Legend of the New White Snake" has filmed Bai Suzhen laying eggs and giving birth to Xu Shilin.
It will probably be completed in about a month.
"All departments, prepare, Exxon!"
Time passed quickly and it was May 1st.
May Day Golden Week, a short holiday.
At 8pm, the main film of "The Disguiser" begins...
