The leading actors have been confirmed, and the other supporting roles are easily arranged, because with the sponsorship of three brands, many scenes can also get many professional models and well-known designers to serve as background panels.
During the casting period, the costume matching plan for the film has been finalized.
At the end of May, "The Queen" was officially announced to start filming.
This time is not as quiet as the last time "Rural Teacher". Even though Wei Lan still did not hold a new film press conference, as a new best director, her next film has naturally attracted full attention from the outside world. Both the industry and fans are very curious about what her new film will be like.
This time, there is ample funds for publicity, and the film itself has a reputation as a foundation, so the promotion of the film is naturally not as radical as "The Rural Teacher", but follows the conventional publicity routine, with a little news released from the start to the end of filming to maintain audience expectations.
Especially when the popularity of Wei Lan’s award has not yet passed.
With the announcement of the film's main cast, a wave of heated discussion immediately ensued.
In addition to the fact that the participation of actress Qin An has greatly increased the audience's expectations, Su Yining's fans are also cheering for their idol. Su Yining's fans now have a very high favorability towards Wei Lan. After all, Wei Lan pulled her out of the haze of the Golden Raspberry Award. Coupled with Wei Lan's own strength, fans naturally hope that Su Yining can continue to cooperate with Wei Lan.
With Yang Xingyuan's participation, Wei Lan specifically asked the public relations department to note it as a special performance. This was done to protect his status as the best actor. Even if Yang Xingyuan himself did not mind appearing in the cast list as a supporting role, Wei Lan and his agent would not sit idly by.
When the cast was announced, the most controversial one was the choice for another female lead, Wei Sijia.
"Go with the Dreams 3" received quite a response, and the Dream Girls group has been active on stage since its formation. As the most popular group after its debut, Wei Sijia has many fans, but she has also always been somewhat controversial.
The reason why she became the most popular contestant is naturally that her professional ability exceeds that of other members. The controversial point is that she was not very sociable when she participated in a lifestyle variety show with the team and seemed a bit eccentric.
Of course, it's not to the point where she has a bad relationship with other teammates in front of the camera. It's just because she doesn't want to give up her studies. During her free time or behind-the-scenes time when participating in variety shows, when others are laughing and chatting on their phones, she is reading books and doing exercises. In terms of some life habits, having grown up in a family environment like the Wei family, and being brought up by a mother like Ye Luoxue with a typical noble lady's personality, it's natural that she is not as down-to-earth as other teammates.
Some fans like her for her seriousness and strong professional ability, while there are also fans who dislike her and think she is pretentious.
Now that the news that Wei Sijia would be one of the heroines of Wei Lan's new movie came out, there was immediately a lot of speculation on the Internet. The onlookers were talking about it, competitors were spreading negative information, and fans were trying hard to control the comments, which caused a wave of heat.
'I feel that if there are any problems in the end of this movie, it must be Wei Sijia's fault. Are fans still washing her clean that she doesn't have resources? Please, through some of Wei Sijia's daily habits and her personal belongings, it has been found that her family conditions are not ordinary. And I saw that her financial contract is still with the Wei family. Her last name is Wei. Think about this carefully.'
'Wasn't Su Yining also mocked for filming Rural Teachers? What happened? Wei Lan just won the Best Director award, it's impossible for him to destroy his reputation right away, right?'
"Everything can be linked to the backstage. Can't we see how much traffic Wei Sijia has now? Is her resources so good that her peers are jealous? According to what you said, Director Wei Lan also has the last name Wei, so he can also be finely tasted in Wei's company?"
The following person replied jokingly: 'Why don't you say that Director Wei Lan and Wei Sijia are sisters? This way, it makes sense to open a backdoor.'
"The above person is very scary when thinking about it. I remember Director Wei said in an interview that he got the chance to act in "Sword IV" through a backdoor..."
The topic gradually went off topic...
However, no matter how many different opinions there are on the Internet, Wei Lan has just won the Best Director award, and with the participation of actress Qin An, such controversy will not have a negative impact on the audience's quality of the film. At most, it is just a hot topic.
As a light-hearted commercial comedy, the shooting period of "The Queen" did not take a long time. According to the most adequate time budget, Wei Lan felt that the shooting of the actors could be completed within a month.
The early stage of filming went very smoothly. Because the characters fit well, under Wei Lan's guidance, Su Yining and Wei Sijia's filming progress was very stable. Not to mention Qin An, who was completely at ease. Where there were rival scenes, under her leadership, Wei Sijia performed very well.
By the second week of filming, the progress was stuck, and it was stuck with Wei Sijia.
Something happened to Wei Sijia here that Wei Lan had never expected, because for other actors, the most difficult part of this role is her confusion and struggle about the future, which Wei Sijia did very well, but she got stuck in a crying scene that did not seem difficult to Wei Lan.
Because of work, Lu Wei and her boyfriend gradually drifted apart. After a quarrel, her boyfriend finally couldn't help but ask her to separate temporarily.
At this time, Lu Wei will have a crying scene, not only because of the pressure from work, but also because of the doubts and misunderstandings from her most trusted lover.
Panda appeared next to Wei Sijia and explained the play to her: "You are not only sad because of his doubts, but deep down you also doubt yourself. I have given so much, why don't you understand me? You are my love."
Wei Sijia wiped away the tears that had just flowed, listened attentively to her words, and tried hard to empathize with her.
After such a period of time, everyone in the crew knew that when it came to Wei Lan's turn to play the role of the panda, it meant that there was a huge problem that had to be solved.
"Okay, I'll try again."
After a few seconds, the shot started again.
He Zixuan, who was standing by, suddenly stood up from the prop coffee chair next to him, adjusted his mood, and walked to stand opposite Wei Sijia.
That’s right, it’s He Zixuan again.
Ever since "Rural Teacher" won numerous awards, He Zixuan's agent has been eager to send him to Wei Lan.
He Zixuan became a familiar face to Wei Lan. He would come to her happily and ask about roles that suited his appearance and had no special requirements. Wei Lan saw that this young man was smart and obedient, so she naturally would not refuse him. Before she knew it, He Zixuan had almost become a permanent supporting actor in her movies.
Wei Sijia looked at He Zixuan in front of her, her eyes slowly turned red. She wanted to cry, but she could not imagine the scene that Wei Lan had mentioned before. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and finally she really cried.
It's not that she didn't see the comments online. Although Wei Lan said that she was chosen in the end because she was the most suitable candidate, she still wanted to perform well. She wanted to act well and be a good actor. She didn't want others to really think that she really got in through the back door through connections.
“Crack!”
Of course Wei Lan could see that Wei Sijia tried very hard, but her emotions were not there. Crying scenes require more than just crying. Different types of crying can convey different emotions.
Seeing this, the panda appeared again in front of Wei Sijia, who was a little emotionally broken. Wei Lan suddenly realized a problem:
"You've never been in love, have you?"
"Hiccup..." Wei Sijia wiped away her tears, recalling her ignorant first love, and shook her head hesitantly: "I guess we've been together once."
"So?" Wei Lan pretended to have a heart-to-heart talk: "So how did it end?"
Wei Sijia recalled: "I liked him very much, but then during a midterm test, he only scored 76 points in math, which was not as high as mine, and I felt that the feeling faded..."
"...I know where the problem lies." Wei Lan said.
Wei Sijia stopped crying and looked over with wide eyes: "Where?"
Wei Lan: "You are now taking an experiential approach to acting, and you... have never experienced the feeling of being dumped by a man."
Wei Sijia: "Ah, this..."
This was really something Wei Lan had not expected. After all, her rebirth this time integrated many hot topics in female online novels, such as the true and false daughter, three and a half years old, the system... According to the general setting, Wei Sijia should have a wealthy fiancé who was a match for the Wei family, and then in order to continue to marry her wealthy fiancé, she used all kinds of means to frame her.
He Zixuan, who had listened to the entire conversation between the two, rubbed his nose again, feeling that he was being blamed again: I'm really sorry that I didn't make you feel like your boyfriend...
Su Yining, who had just finished the last scene and had not yet left the actor's cabin, suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
During this period, I had a lot of rival scenes with Wei Sijia, and the two had a good relationship.
She patted Wei Sijia's shoulder and comforted her sincerely: "This is normal, it's okay, I haven't been dumped by a man, I don't know if this feeling is normal."
Wei Lan almost controlled the panda to flip upside down: What are you doing here, Miss Su, to cause trouble?
The next moment, Su Yining turned his gaze to the panda floating in the air: "Lanlan, have you ever been dumped?"
Wei Lan paused, and suddenly felt that he had no right to be surprised why Wei Sijia's emotions were not in place. After all, she had an unreliable first love. In her previous life, she was so busy making movies that she didn't even have the interest or time to fall in love...
"That's all for today."
She would think about it later. According to her understanding of Su Yining, if she waited for another two minutes, she would start talking about everyone's love history.
