The crew really didn't expect the investors to find the leading actor, so when they saw Jing Ling, apart from shutting up in amazement, most of them subconsciously had an idea in their minds:
So the crew doesn't need to disband?
But it's just a matter of getting used to it over a long period of time, and no one really hopes that the crew will disband. Because they all make a living from this, the work is the same in any crew and the pay is not much different. Under such circumstances, as long as they can keep doing it, generally no one would want to change employers. What's more, the investors of this drama are very generous. Although the crew has not been able to carry out normal filming since its establishment, not only the salaries are paid as usual, but also three meals a day are provided without missing a single meal, all in accordance with the standards set at the beginning.
It can be said that many people were relieved to see that the investors brought in the male lead.
Although the Changle Opera crew has been unable to start filming because they couldn't find the male lead, during this period of waiting, the director and other crew members have already completed all the preliminary preparations, including the costumes and props for the female lead, female supporting actors, and male supporting actors.
As I said, everything is ready except for the male lead. Now that Jing Ling is here, the crew can prepare to start filming.
However, the film and television industry has always been superstitious, and an auspicious day must be chosen to start filming. After receiving a call from the investor, the director went to check and found that Saturday three days later was a good day for everything. The time before this was used to finalize Jing Ling's makeup and make and modify her costumes.
Then the director thought of the most critical question. When Jing Ling was taken into the dressing room to put on makeup, he asked the investor, Jiang Sijin, "Has Jing Ling read the script?"
Jiang Sijin replied calmly, "I just found the person not long ago, and I haven't had time to give him the script yet."
The director felt like he was about to die. Then Jiang Sijin said, "Don't be anxious, take your time."
You have money, you are willful, and you have the final say. You are not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry? It's not my money that is being burned anyway. With this in mind, the director decided to skip this question and discuss other things with Jiang Sijin.
"Here they come!" Almost two hours passed before the door of the dressing room opened. A group of people were already gathered at the door, all waiting to see the final makeup. Because the male lead of this drama got the female lead's script in the early stage, and played a beautiful and gentle girl in the boudoir, which was extremely difficult. Although they had seen Jing Ling's appearance, and they all thought that such a beautiful face should not have any problem dressing up as a woman, but it didn't count until they actually saw it.
The Changle Opera Troupe rented a venue at the Cloud Film and Television City. Yunduan Film and Television City is located at the junction of the Central Administrative District, the Eastern Administrative District and the Southern Administrative District. It is the largest costume film and television base in the Republic. Seventy percent of the costume dramas broadcast every year are filmed in this place. This is a very professional film and television base. The living area is separated from the shooting area. The area used for shooting can basically restore more than 90% of the ancient buildings. The electrical wires and lighting tools are installed very concealedly, and you can't see anything at a glance.
The crew is now in the shooting area, so even the dressing room looks like an ancient attic.
The carved wooden door was opened from the inside, and a woman in a water-green double-breasted skirt walked out. Her long hair was tied into a bun, dotted with a few round and full white pearls, and she had no other jewelry. The distant mountains are her eyebrows, the autumn water is her eyes, her nose is straight and slender, and her lips are as red as the peach blossoms in full bloom in March. The neck is long and the exposed skin is fair and delicate, which inexplicably reminds people of the term "ice skin and jade bones".
Everyone was stunned. It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I felt so bad.
As a man, being handsome to the point of being unfair is ok, but he can also reach new levels of beauty by wearing women's clothes. Do you want to give others a chance to live? !
Unlike everyone else, the director, while being amazed, always felt that something was wrong. He walked to Jing Ling, circled around him, observed him over and over again for a while, and finally came to the conclusion, "Although the Adam's apple is not obvious, it can still be found if you look closely. Another reason is that he is too tall." Li Yi, come here. "As soon as the voice fell, a girl next to him came over.
"Stand here." The director pointed to the seat next to Jing Ling. The girl stood up as she was told. In comparison, including the hair bun, he is half a head shorter than Jing Ling. And this girl named Li Yi is the heroine of this drama. In the early stage, she was given the script of the male lead. She disguised herself as a man and went to court with civil and military officials as the emperor's eldest son. In the early stage, when their identities had not yet been revealed, the male and female protagonists stood together, and the male protagonist was half a head shorter than the female protagonist, which was a bit disharmonious.
Jing Ling looked down at Li Yi beside him, who happened to look up at him. The two looked at each other, and Li Yi shrugged helplessly, spreading his hands and said, "Beauty, don't look at me. It's not my fault. I'm 168cm tall, which is not considered short among girls."
Jing Ling also spread his hands and said, "Don't blame me. I'm 175cm tall, which is not considered tall among boys."
Two-thirds of the boys in the crew: …
The director walked around the two of them, stroking his chin and muttering to himself, "Do we have to stand on stools when filming from now on?"
Jing Ling thought about it and said to him, "Don't bother, I can just sit in a wheelchair."
The director's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's a good idea!"
So the guy from the props group worked overtime to make an ancient version of the wheelchair for Jing Ling to test drive, and then he finalized it after he had used it a few times based on his experience. The costume team was also busy, and they also rushed to make clothes for Jing Ling. Due to the tight time, they made two sets of clothes as an emergency, and made the rest while filming, including men's clothing.
The whole crew started to get going.
Two days later, the crew held an opening ceremony at the Cloud Film and Television City, and the staff in charge of publicity and marketing uploaded photos taken on site to the official Weibo.

The data of Chang Le Ge's original novel was pretty good during the serialization period, but it was far from a big hit. In addition, there was only this one article under the pen name of Jiang Sijin, and there were only a few pitiful fans. It has been nearly half a year since the official Weibo account was opened, and there are less than 30,000 fans, and even fewer active ones. After this Weibo post was sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without causing any splash at all.
Three days later, the official Weibo account began to release the actors’ makeup photos. The first photo is not of the male and female protagonists but of a supporting character. The woman in the photo is wearing a crabapple red palace dress, with cloud-like hair, flowery face, and a golden hairpin. She has a pair of phoenix eyes under her curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, but there is no smile in her eyes. There is a line of words written in the upper right corner of the photo: Meng Lan plays Concubine Lin.
In the original novel, Concubine Lin is the mother of the third prince Li Zhen and the most beloved woman of Emperor Jian'an. Her grandfather, Lin Zhengheng, was a second-rank official and the Minister of Personnel, the head of the six ministries. Her father was also a high-ranking official and served as the prefect of Yingzhou, a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River.
This makeup photo still didn't make much of a splash, with only a few die-hard fans praising the makeup and costumes.
After that, the official Weibo account would release a makeup photo on time every day at 6pm, starting with the male supporting role after the female supporting role. After posting it for 7 consecutive days, it finally gained a little bit of popularity. Only the last two pictures were left in the nine-square grid, which were naturally of the male and female protagonists.
As the time approaches six o'clock, fans have already started discussing whose makeup photo will be revealed today under the Weibo post released yesterday. Some say it is the male lead and some say it is the female lead, and each has their own reasons for their speculation. At exactly six o'clock, the official Weibo account released a new makeup photo on time. The picture shows a man in military uniform, holding a spear and riding a black horse. Only his profile can be seen, with a clear outline, and behind him is a battlefield with flames and smoke. In the upper right corner it says: Li Yi plays Li Yu.
As soon as the final makeup photos were released, the discussion began.
Juanjuan is very cute today: So handsome, lick lick lick!
ILY: Checking in at the melon-eating road, the male lead's profile looks good, please give me the full face!
Deep Sea in the Clouds V: The one above is not the male lead, but the female lead.
The little match girl who sells girls: Open your mouth and eat Amway. This article is adapted from the novel of the same name "Changle Song" by Jinxiu Books of Green River Literature City. The whole article is silly and sweet, warm and without abuse. After reading it, you feel like falling in love [portal address]
An Qi 2: You are causing trouble upstairs.
Ye Qiqi V: I checked and found out that Li Yi is a female. If the novel is based on her setting, the female lead should be played by a man. I bet a bag of spicy noodles that I will go blind tomorrow. Anyone want to bet?
The name is gibberish: Gambling is wrong! I bet my eyes will go blind if I take a bag of spicy strips!
The group of people below followed suit and bet on the blind option.
At 5:50 p.m. the next day, the official Weibo account released a preview in advance.
Chang Le Ge TV Series V: The surprise is about to be revealed, are you ready? [Husky][Husky]
A lot of people expressed that they were more surprised than shocked. While complaining, I was waiting to see the final makeup photo.
At exactly six o'clock, the official Weibo account was released on time.
It was winter, and the courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow. The plum blossoms in the yard were in brilliant bloom, with a sharp contrast between the red flowers and the white snow. There was a woman sitting under the plum tree, wearing a green cloak with a circle of snow-white fluffy fur on the collar, which almost covered half of her face. The exposed skin was not inferior to the snow-white fur on the collar in any way. Her long black hair was tied into a bun, with two pearl hairpins inserted as embellishment. She lowered her eyes slightly, her eyelashes were thick and long, and the color of her lips was even more gorgeous than the plum blossoms above her head.
This was undoubtedly a very beautiful woman. The only flaw was the two obvious marks on the snow behind her, which were left by the rolling of the wheelchair.
The actor’s information is still written in the upper right corner: Jing Ling plays Zhao Zizhen.
Blind book fans who bet on Latiao and others: Where’s the promise of men dressing up as women? Do you know that you will be beaten if you find a girl to play the male lead like this? !
Onlookers: Wasn’t it said that the one yesterday was the female lead? But why does this look more like the heroine? Are you sure you are not mistaken?
