Chapter 144 Happy Wrap-up
"Fu Jiang Shan" was filmed for four and a half months.
Song Shinian and Wen Yu spent almost all their time on "Fu Jiangshan". Except for one day of rest at home during the Chinese New Year, they spent the rest of their time in the crew of "Fu Jiangshan" studying the plot.
Because of this, the script, which was originally planned to take six months to shoot, was completed one and a half months ahead of schedule.
As the filming of the last shot of "Fu Jiang Shan" was completed, Director Zheng shouted "Cut".
He looked at "Xiao Ziche" and "Su Yanzhi" in the camera lens reluctantly for a few seconds, and after calming himself down, he smiled and said to the crew, "Happy wrap-up."
When the words "Happy wrap-up" reached his ears, Wen Yu was still immersed in Xiao Ziche's emotions.
"……it's over?"
The crew members began to pack up. Wen Yu's fingers trembled slightly. He looked up at Song Shinian who was right in front of him, his voice hoarse.
"it's over."
Song Shinian's condition was not much better than Wen Yu's.
Both of them put their whole heart and soul into acting, and now when they suddenly heard Director Zheng say "Happy wrap", both of them felt complicated.
Wen Yu had a lot of fun acting with Song Shinian.
Song Shinian is always able to keep up with his own pace perfectly, and the scenes shot by the two of them are basically done in one go. Even a demanding director like Director Zheng admits that it is rare to see such a well-matched pair in the entertainment industry.
"You guys performed exceptionally well."
Director Zheng walked towards Song Shinian and Wen Yu, and he was not stingy with his praise: "I have a feeling that "Overthrowing the Jiangshan" will be a big hit."
Wen Yu and Song Shinian's acting is really great.
Director Zheng felt several times that they were the living "Xiao Ziche" and "Su Yanzhi". Because the script of "Fu Jiangshan" is based on "power struggle" as the main line, the emotional expression between the protagonists is relatively obscure. The two have never expressed their love directly, and in most cases they communicate with their eyes.
Wen Yu and Song Shinian have great eye contact.
Director Zheng has worked with so many actors over the years. Actors like them who are talented, spiritual and willing to work hard are extremely rare in the entertainment industry.
Director Zheng was very glad that he listened to Song Shinian's advice and agreed to let Wen Yu audition. If Xiao Ziche was played by Su Xingye instead, such a good effect would definitely not be achieved.
"Thank you, Director Zheng."
Wen Yu politely thanked Director Zheng.
As he watched the crew members put away their things, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
It’s strange to say, when the filming of previous TV series was completed, Wen Yu would also feel some reluctance, but more of it was joy.
After all, being able to fully participate in a TV series is a very happy thing for an actor.
But when the filming of "Fu Jiang Shan" was finished, Wen Yu felt a sense of loss for the first time. He couldn't bear to leave Xiao Ziche, Su Yanzhi, and everyone in the crew...
During the few months he spent on the set of "Fu Jiang Shan", Wen Yu has completely immersed himself in the role of "Xiao Ziche". He can even recall the last shot, when Xiao Ziche carved the words "Wei Fu Yanzhi", and the guilt and helplessness flashed between his brows.
Although Director Zheng said this was a be ending, in Wen Yu's opinion, it was a happy ending in another sense.
After all, Su Yanzhi and Xiao Ziche never married, had no children, and only had each other as their lifelong partner.
When both men died, they were holding the dagger in their hands.
"Live and die together" is their promise to each other.
Although the feelings between Xiao Ziche and Su Yanzhi cannot be expressed in history books, there will always be people who remember their touching love.
"There will be a wrap-up banquet tonight..."
Speaking of the words 'wrap-up party', Director Zheng's eyes flickered with reluctance: "You all must come and participate. The red envelopes at the wrap-up party are even bigger than those at the opening party..."
Director Zheng poured a lot of effort into the script of "Fu Jiang Shan". Now that it can be perfectly presented by Wen Yu and Song Shinian, it can be regarded as a wish come true for him.
The filming process went smoothly. Director Zheng even spent a huge amount of money to book a luxurious restaurant, hoping that the actors and staff of "Fu Jiang Shan" could eat and drink well.
He hopes that everyone who comes to the crew of "Fu Jiang Shan" can come happily and leave happily.
"Yes."
Wen Yu nodded and agreed.
In fact, the opening ceremony happened four and a half months ago, but Wen Yu has been immersed in the plot. Now when he thinks of the opening ceremony, he suddenly feels as if it was a lifetime ago.
…
After the director left, Wen Yu and Song Shinian went to the dressing room together.
The two changed clothes in the same room.
They all wore their own base layers as their innermost layer, so they didn't need to go out specifically to change clothes.
The two men took off the clothes of "Xiao Ziche" and "Su Yanzhi" respectively and put on the clothes they brought.
Wen Yu looked at the clothes on the chair and thought of everything he had experienced with Song Shinian during this period, so he couldn't help but call out "Song Shinian's" name.
"Um?"
Song Shinian looked in the direction of Wen Yu.
"Happy wrap-up."
Wen Yu arched her eyebrows towards Song Shinian.
Although he was reluctant to see "Fu Jiang Shan" finish filming today, all good things must come to an end. It was impossible for him and Song Shinian to stay in the "Fu Jiang Shan" crew for the rest of their lives. Wen Yu was already very happy to be able to film a TV series with Song Shinian and make up for the regrets of his previous life.
Song Shinian pursed his lips and said nothing.
According to his previous experience on the set, it was normal for actors to say "Happy wrap" when filming was finished. However, this was his first TV series with Wen Yu, and he was reluctant to let it go...
Wen Yu noticed something was wrong with Song Shinian, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
“I don’t want to finish.”
Song Shinian spoke in a muffled voice.
"Why?"
Wen Yu felt that Song Shinian's reaction was a bit childish.
"Because I can't bear to leave you."
Maybe Song Shinian was still immersed in the role of "Su Yanzhi", so even when he said such straightforward words, his eyes did not escape.
He was reluctant to finish filming, and even more reluctant to be separated from Wen Yu.
"Fu Jiang Shan" gave him an opportunity to have close contact with Wen Yu, especially when filming the "Jiangnan" scene, the two of them filmed a lingering and ambiguous kiss scene.
That was the only kissing scene in the script of "Fu Jiang Shan" and also Song Shinian's first kiss on screen.
Song Shinian debuted as a singer. His early fans were accumulated through his "music", "dancing" and "good looks". Later he transformed himself into an actor. The directors understood that Song Shinian was relatively young and did not have any special requirements for "kissing scenes".
The year Wen Yu died, Song Shinian was only nineteen years old.
He has never accepted a script with a kissing scene.
Although it has been a long time since the kiss scene with Wen Yu, Song Shinian can still remember the soft touch of Wen Yu's lips...
