Chapter 495 What does the mosquito net on the head mean?
After the launch conference, Li Man and other first batch of actors joined the crew. After joining the crew, they found that in addition to reading the script, everyone actually had to learn to sing!
Especially when Li Man and other leading actors discovered that there were quite a few of these segments, and they were not just interludes or background music, but the essence of some plots! It can be said that these segments are an indispensable part of the entire play.
Everyone is an excellent actor and has seen the kind of musical movies in India. After Lin Fan explained it briefly, everyone almost understood what Lin Fan meant.
I understand it, but when it comes to actually doing it, I still find it a little difficult to adapt.
In particular, Lin Fan also added a lot of opera elements to these singing segments, requiring the leading actors to keep up with the posture, gestures, expressions, etc. when singing to show the beauty of traditional opera. This is indeed not easy.
In addition, the actors also have to learn various etiquettes and learn to recite lines. The lines in "New White" have been carefully processed, and every word and sentence of the characters are full of classical beauty, but they do not appear rigid and stiff. This requires a relatively high level of line skills from the actors.
In short, the content of this training camp really surprised the actors.
However, Li Man himself was mentally prepared. Although he was asked to start singing at the slightest disagreement, Li Man had studied the singing parts in the script carefully. Both the lyrics and the melody were very nice to listen to, not to mention that Lin Fan also incorporated traditional opera elements into it.
A brand-new performance form, a thrilling story, interludes that blend tradition and modernity, and Lin Fan’s amazing talent as the main creative staff member in this play, Riemann can already see that this play will definitely cause a sensation once it goes online!
This will become another masterpiece of mine!
It may even become a classic! Therefore, during the training camp, Riemann was the most active and cooperative one.
In the entire crew, apart from director Lin Fan, the female lead Li Man has the highest status. Li Man actively cooperates with the training without any complaints, and others have even less opinions.
Of course, at least on the surface, he didn't have any opinions. What you think in your heart, Lin Fan can't control. As long as you don't affect the progress of the filming, if you have any opinions and don't say them out loud and affect Lin Fan's mood, Lin Fan can pretend not to see them.
While the training was going on, the actors’ makeup photos were also released.
As a TV series first aired in 1992, the costumes in "New White Snake" can be described as luxurious, at least the costumes of White Snake are so.
When Lin Fan watched "New White Snake" when he was a child, he always felt that White Snake was not in the same world as other people. Watching White Snake changing into various white gauze clothes, purple-red clothes, green gauze clothes, and red gauze clothes, and standing there, she was completely different from ordinary people.
She had several looks when she played Hu Meiniang, but the male lead Xu Xian only wore the same few sets of clothes over and over again, and Lin Fan felt shabby for Xu Xian.
But no matter what, White Snake's look has become a classic, and her costume also echoes the plot scenes.
When she first appeared, she was dressed in white gauze, which showed that she was extraordinary. After marrying Xu Xian, she wore purple clothes, which made her look dignified and full of worldly breath. After giving birth to her son Xu Shilin, she changed into white gauze and red clothes, and she was immersed in a happy life.
It can be said that the change of clothing also reflects White Snake's mental journey.
Well, Lin Fan is also a fan of the classic look of White Snake, so when designing clothes for Li Man, he still based it on the classic look of "New White Snake" and slightly adjusted the details to make these clothes more in line with Li Man's personal temperament.
Of course, the investment of the "New White" crew was limited, and the market environment at that time was not very good, so except for the costumes of a few protagonists, the costumes of the extras were basically perfunctory.
However, the crew of "Legend of White Snake" is well-funded, and Shanghai Film has always been committed to high-quality products, so when Lin Fan got the costumes made according to his own design, he was a little surprised by the generosity of Shanghai Film.
This costume is so beautifully made!
Lin Fan even wanted to place an order to make another set and take it home for Xia Yan to wear for fun.
Well, I'll ask in private later. Lin Fan feels that there is a high probability that Hu Yuhua will meet his small request.
Riemann was also pleasantly surprised. After he was styled and put on the custom-made clothes, he couldn't let them go and didn't want to take them off.
Hu Yuhua and Yang Hongxia couldn't help but stare at Li Man after she put on her full makeup. "She looks good. She has a mature and generous temperament, which is very suitable for such a grand costume!"
"At first I thought the look designed by Lin Fan was, well, you know, a little weird, but after Sister Man put it on, I realized it was really nice!"
This is not the first time that Yang Hongxia has complained about the styling of the heroine designed by Lin Fan. The styling of the heroine in the previous "A Chinese Ghost Story" designed by Lin Fan was also a bit hard to describe.
To be honest, if it weren’t for Xiaoqian’s styling, Yang Hongxia would really like to complain about the heroine’s styling in “The Legend of White Snake”: “Is the inspiration for the mosquito net on her head derived from a cobra?”
Fortunately, Riemann pulled off this look, and the costumes produced by Shanghai Film Studio also added a lot of points to this look. Overall, this look was still a surprise, and not the shock that Yang Hongxia had worried about.
Li Man also tried on Hu Meiniang's costume, which was another style.
Lin Fan also tried on Xu Xian's costume. As soon as he walked out of the dressing room, he heard a gasp and the sound of a camera being taken. He turned around and saw that it was his assistant Xiao Wan, who was secretly taking a photo of him with his cell phone.
Lin Fan was helpless: "Why take candid photos? We still have to take makeup photos later. If you are going to post on Weibo, why not just post the retouched makeup photos?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Xiao Wan said confidently: "Refined photos are necessary, but fans prefer these pseudo-candid photos, which make fans feel very involved. Of course, Brother Fan, don't worry, I will retouch these photos before sending them out."
Lin Fan didn't care, since Xiao Wan was the one who was managing Chaobo now.
So, at exactly eight o'clock in the evening, the official account of the "Legend of White Snake" project released the makeup photos of the leading actors.
Each person has four photos, one from the front, one from the side, one full-body photo, and one close-up of the face.
Finally, an additional photo of the four main actors was added.
Of course, every actor will also post a wave of pseudo-candid photos on his or her own Weibo account to take advantage of the situation and gain some popularity.
However, as soon as Riemann's look came out, it caused amazement among netizens.
【Eat melons without spitting out skins: Wow, isn’t this look really meant to be funny? 】
[Colorful Black: What does the white veil on the head mean? Going to a funeral? Lin Fan also claimed that he added traditional opera elements to this play. Is this how you understand traditional culture? ]
[Beauty brings trouble: Uh, am I the only one who thinks that Riemann's look is pretty? ]
