Chapter 819: The Faded Actress (29)
He waited for his lover's reply. In the end, in March, he sang the first play he had heard when they met. Young Master Qiao did not die. In the entire village, only March was left. Even when Young Master Qiao grew old, he still only had March by his side. March was still as beautiful as a young woman in her late teens.
This storyline is different from the popular ones on the market.
Because it's too "evil".
She died long ago in March, a victim of the Qiao family's scheme, but she's back.
This should be a supernatural theme.
If Gu Qiqi hadn't written so well, Wen Wan would have really wondered if this was a fanfiction based on Gu Yuan and her, and whether their character settings were really that bizarre.
They were clearly in a sweet relationship.
But Wen Wan liked the script because it was really interesting, and she was sure it would be even more interesting to act in.
After that, filming began, followed by the shooting of costume photos.
As Qiwen's boss, Wen Wan naturally couldn't be short of anything when the boss was making the film. She hired a top-notch makeup and styling team that was most skilled in this type of subject matter to do the makeup for the two of them.
Only three stages of photos were taken in total.
My first encounter with the Peking Opera.
In March, he was dressed in elaborate and beautiful opera costumes on stage, while Qiao Sanshao had been persuaded by his cronies to come and listen to the opera. The moment their eyes met, a bond was formed between them.
One was on stage, and the other was off stage.
This is the first photo.
Wen Wan spent more than three hours on makeup and styling, and almost fell asleep. But when she looked in the mirror after it was over, she was so amazed by her beauty that she was speechless. Even the makeup artist said that it was a good thing that she had a round face, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to pull it off.
Changing clothes again.
Then she hired a professional teacher to guide her movements.
I spent the whole morning messing around.
As for Gu Yuan, the makeup and styling time was much shorter, and he was exactly like the playboy Qiao San Shao in the early part of the script, with a touch of naivety and innocentness, a young master who was unaware of the hardships of life.
Then they started taking the first photo, and the director began to adjust the lighting and shadows.
The director was very satisfied with the final product.
Both are top-notch actors, and at that moment, it was as if everyone was transported back to that era.
Then comes the second photo.
It was after they returned in March that they met.
In March of that year, she was wearing the dress she wore before she disappeared, and everything was as before. But Qiao Sanshao had changed. He had become sharp, a veteran in the business world, and the youngest head of the Qiao family.
But when he saw March appear, his expression softened.
This is not easy to act.
However, the two still handled it very well, and even the director exclaimed that these two were born actors.
Then comes the last one.
Gu Yuan began applying old-age makeup, transforming himself from an unparalleled handsome man into a dashing old man, a process that took several hours.
After the makeup was done, Wen Wan didn't even dare to recognize him. This was truly worthy of the male lead; she really suspected that this was what Qiao Sanshao looked like when he aged.
In March, he supported the dying Qiao Sanshao. Qiao Sanshao's eyes were full of love, while March remained indifferent and calm.
But his hand was tightly gripping Qiao Sanshao's arm.
After taking three photos, Wen Wan was exhausted. She was then carried to the car and went home where she fell into a deep sleep, even sleeping with Gu Yuan in her arms.
...
Two days later, they took costume photos of the supporting actors.
Then the official photos were released.
The release of the official character photos of the male and female leads sparked heated discussions among countless people.
Holy crap.
Almost everyone who sees it has this reaction in the first second.
—What an amazing couple!
—Aaaaaaahhhhh, is this something I deserve to see? I'm going to see it tomorrow.
Everyone has assumed that the two are a couple. If they weren't a couple, it would be absolutely impossible for them to do this.
The official character photos immediately raised the expectations of countless people, and the production team began filming in full swing.
And during this period.
The first trailer for "The Fragrance of Darkness" has been released, and the cast has also been officially announced.
The character Wen Wan was not included at the beginning of filming.
It has countless CP fans shipping them to death.
Moreover, the trailer was very well edited, and Gu Yuan's character was a big breakthrough. The biggest difference was that he fully showcased his face, which was absolutely irresistible to his fans who admire his looks.
The beauty finally remembered that she was a great beauty.
It's not about rolling in the mud or putting on black powder to make yourself look ugly every day.
It was just a few shots, and it was a chaotic massacre.
Whenever he and the concubine played by Wen Wan appear in the same frame, the sense of destiny is overwhelming.
The trailer didn't reveal the ending, which is to maintain the mystery.
One month later.
The movie "Dark Fragrance" has been released and is still in the best promotional position. However, even without promotion, Gu Yuan's drama can still attract countless viewers. This is the goodwill he has accumulated with each work, which is something other stars can only envy.
The plot is as engaging as ever.
Especially Mei Qingcheng's love life and career, they're absolutely hilarious. Who could resist such a toxic, mad, and vengeful eunuch? Even the emperor couldn't resist him.
The director filmed it very subtly; you could say he had an affair with the emperor, or you could say he didn't.
It all depends on your own understanding.
The relationship between the concubine played by Wen Wan and the concubine is filled with a sense of destiny. Their three meetings are unforgettable and full of tragedy, making the audience feel depressed and heartbroken.
When Junzhu finally died, countless people sighed and shed tears.
Then he met a palace maid, the second character who had a connection with the male protagonist.
However, perhaps because she had seen a gem, this palace maid was more like a copy, and her acting skills were simply not up to par with the original.
Although the actresses in the palace drama also performed very well, they were no match for Gu Yuan.
In the end, only the male protagonist survived and went into seclusion in the mountains.
Countless film critics, fans, and casual viewers analyzed the male lead's two relationships. In the end, unsurprisingly, the male lead and Junzhu became the official couple, and he dominated all the polls.
Moreover, box office revenue soared rapidly.
After all, no one can resist a drama with a cast of beauties, no one can resist Mei Qingcheng played by Gu Yuan, and no one can resist the beautifully forbidden couple destined to have a tragic ending. The script is good, the characters are engaging, and there are no dull moments throughout.
It can be said to have achieved the ultimate in beauty and the ultimate in goodness.
Meanwhile, the number of fans shipping Wen Wan and Gu Yuan as a couple surged again, doubling in number. Many solo fans effortlessly converted into couple fans and then went on a crazy spree of watching their pairing.
The fact that the fans of both families are as close as if they were in-laws is a rare and unique phenomenon in the Chinese entertainment industry. After all, many couples face backlash from their individual fans after going public with their relationship.
The final box office figure reached 3.3 billion.
It was then quickly made available for paid viewing on online platforms.
They made a fortune again.
It can be said to be extremely successful.
In the "Dangerous Lovers" crew, filming was completely closed off. The director even confiscated the actors' cell phones and electronic devices. They ate and slept on set, so no one knew what was happening outside. The filming efficiency was very high. The crew members were numb from watching the male and female leads get the leads in one take. Basically, the actors were already the most suitable. The problems with the new and supporting actors were mainly due to their performances.
