Chapter 176 Let’s have a meal
The official announcement of the endorsement and the release of the new album have little to do with the members of the Fifth Group who are busy filming.
After all, apart from forwarding promotional blogs, the official announcement of endorsements and the release of new albums really have nothing to do with them.
They don’t even need to forward the promotional blog themselves. Our staff will log into their accounts and help them forward the Weibo posts.
After filming the drama day and night for more than a week, the members gradually got into the groove and became more skilled in acting. They were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning and began to relax.
As soon as the director turned on the camera, the members immediately got into the mood.
"Have you heard?" Bai You, hands in his pockets, walked down the corridor with a carefree air, like a handsome superstar on the red carpet, his face brimming with confidence. "That Lu Yao who transferred here is actually a girl."
Zhu Xiangming, Cang Zizhen, Yin Hongxue and Qiu Yuge beside him stopped at the same time.
Zhu Xiangming was surprised and said in disbelief: "Girl! It's actually a girl!"
After the shock subsided, he suddenly realized, "No wonder..."
Cang Zizhen couldn't help but close his eyes.
He was afraid that his gaze would be too foul and the blame would be shifted to himself.
Yin Hongxue looked calm, as if she was not surprised at all that the transfer student Lu Yao was a girl.
He just said lightly: "How did you know?"
Bai You pointed downstairs and said, "Junior Bu Yan told me."
"How did Bu Yan know that?"
Bai You was stunned.
Qiu Yuge's voice rang out: "Tarot cards."
Everyone: ...
"CUT!" the director's voice rang out. "Very good, very good. Everyone's expressions are very good!"
As soon as the director called out "CUT," everyone relaxed and walked towards the director to watch the re-cut.
"How did the screenwriter come up with this plot?" Bai You was still pondering. "And why is it me who plays this part? Does she think I'm the kind of person who believes everything anyone says?"
Cang Zizhen didn't even turn around: "You really are, this plot is completely about you!"
"Huh?" Bai You raised his eyebrows. "What are you talking about? Do you believe me, I'll tell you you're a girl next time?"
Cang Zizhen rushed forward: "Oh, I'm so scared."
Wang Mingzhi, who was watching the return broadcast over there, heard their conversation and couldn't help laughing.
"That's the only way to act so well, really," he said, then asked the director for confirmation: "Right, Director?"
The director was very satisfied after watching the replay: "It was really well acted, very natural."
This kind of childish, awkward and natural feeling cannot be portrayed to such an effect even by actors who have graduated from professional acting schools.
God knows how desperate he felt when he got the script.
This kind of superpower TV series filled with nonsense and cold humor is called a TV series, but he has only seen this form in anime.
He could hardly imagine how awkward it would be for real people to say those shameful lines and act those childish actions.
What's more, he was facing a group of boy band idols who had no acting experience, which made him feel even more desperate.
But during this period of filming, not to mention the sense of conviction they had when performing and reciting those childish battle scenes and skill names, they also handled the nonsensical humor in daily life just right.
Maybe it was just as he had heard before, that the screenwriter wrote the script entirely based on the members' personalities and past experiences, so the members could act as themselves and completely fit the roles they played.
After all, the characters are named after themselves.
Moreover, in terms of character setting, Lu Yao plays a sudden transfer student with nothing, which is consistent with Lu Yao's identity as a parachuted-in student in the fifth generation. Nothing is also a very classic character setting in two-dimensional works, and it is very consistent with Lu Yao's private personality.
When watching anime, the director actually likes this kind of three-no character setting. After all, he knows that although these characters appear to be three-no characters on the surface, their hearts must be fluctuating with the emotions of the protagonist.
But when it comes to filming TV series, this kind of character becomes very annoying.
After all, for actors with slightly worse acting skills, this kind of character setting can lead to facial paralysis.
Completely lost the charm of the character.
The character design of others, such as Bai You, is a very classic setting of a hot-blooded and second-grade protagonist. He is determined in his goals, full of motivation and always working hard, and is also a bit careless and rough.
Aoko is really the kind of military strategist character with reflective eyes that is very common in anime. He exudes rationality, indifference and wisdom, making people love and fear him.
Yin Hongxue is a gentle and elegant gentleman who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He seems rational and understands many things, but he cherishes his friends very much and is very painful when they are separated.
As for Zhu Xiangming and Qiu Yuge, one is the cute, innocent and simple group favorite, and the other is the club leader Qiu Yuge, who has great responsibilities with great abilities.
After spending some time together, the director discovered similarities between each of them and their characters. Perhaps because of this, their performances were seamless and natural. Looking back at the script, it felt like every word in it sounded like something these people would really say and do.
After watching the feedback, everyone felt that it was good and was very satisfied.
This concludes today's shoot.
Everyone greeted each other and left work happily.
Wang Mingzhi left with them.
Those who did not form a group also have their own supporting roles in the play. After all, a TV series cannot have only the protagonist, and a school cannot have only six students.
The other students were all played by these people, and the younger students were played by the sixth-generation trainees.
For example, the junior brother Bu Yan who appeared in the lines just now, Wang Mingzhi had seen him in the company not long ago.
He is a trainee of the sixth generation.
With his quirky personality and temperament, he has many fans among the sixth generation and is currently a trainee that the company is focusing on training.
Today, Wang Mingzhi finally took a day off from his busy acting class to film all his scenes.
Yes, their scenes without forming a group are so few that they can be filmed in one day.
"Do you have anything else to do next? Do you want to go out for a meal together?" Wang Mingzhi put his arm around Qiu Yuge's shoulder.
Qiu Yuge looked aside.
Wang Mingzhi followed and looked over.
I saw a lady who looked familiar yet unfamiliar.
To say she was familiar was because he had seen her before when he was with the people from the Fifth Regiment. To say she was unfamiliar was because he had never seen her before the group was formed, or even two or three months ago.
"Is she your new assistant?" Wang Mingzhi asked.
Qiu Yuge nodded: "Yes, she is our life assistant and is with us now."
"What about Brother Qiang and Brother Bin?"
"Go to the sixth generation."
"Oh—" Wang Mingzhi dragged out the word, feeling that the changes were really huge. After a period of time without any change, Li Qiang and Xu Bin, who had led them for more than four years, had actually left the fifth generation and gone to the sixth generation. "I didn't even know."
"You were busy, weren't you?" Qiu Yuge recalled, "Before, you were acting, and after returning from filming, you went to take acting classes. You rarely went back to the company. Even the last time we met was a long time ago."
Wang Mingzhi agreed deeply: "That's true."
"That's why we need to keep in touch!" Wang Mingzhi shook Qiu Yuge's shoulder and looked at the others: "We can't break the connection between us! We grew up together, and I can only tell you if there's anything I want to talk about."
"Of course!" Yin Hongxue agreed.
"That's what I said." Wang Mingzhi frowned. Such an expression on his pretty face always made people feel pity, but unfortunately, everyone present was too familiar with Wang Mingzhi's face and had long been immune to it. "But you haven't spoken in the group for a long time."
This group he was referring to was the entire group of their fifth generation trainees, which included all the trainees of their fifth generation, including Xiao Xun and Wu Anyi who had left, but not Lu Yao.
In other words, this group started in the second month after all of them got their cell phones. Since then, the personnel of their fifth-generation trainees has been fixed, and there have been no changes in the next two years. Therefore, even though Xiao Xun left later, they had no intention of pulling Xiao Xun out.
But Xiao Xun left the group on his own.
The same thing happened to Wu Anyi. They did not move, but Wu Anyi left on his own.
As for why they didn't invite Lu Yao to join the group... In the early days when Lu Yao just joined the fifth generation, they didn't add Lu Yao's contact information separately, and in the later period, Lu Yao was no longer someone they could invite.
And during the entire debut period, the group was quite quiet.
Everyone is busy in various work groups, and in this small group that mainly chats and complains, everyone has lost interest in speaking.
In the past few months, everyone's arrangements have been back on track, their mood and life have become more relaxed, and the small group has become lively again.
While the others were chatting animatedly, the people from the fifth group were extremely quiet and were rarely seen in the group.
"I'm too busy and don't have time to play with my phone." Cang Zizhen said lightly.
Wang Mingzhi didn't say anything.
Busy? Too busy to even reply?
"Forget it, let's let bygones be bygones. You can't do this again in the future." Wang Mingzhi raised his finger. "So you must go to this dinner today. Also, call Luo Wenbo and the others. He's going abroad soon. If we don't have dinner now, we'll have to wait until Chinese New Year."
Hearing that Luo Wenbo was about to leave, Zhu Xiangming and Bai You were a little surprised: "So soon!"
"It's not going to happen anytime soon. Luo Wenbo has been preparing for months." Wang Mingzhi took out his phone and said, "I'm going to call them now."
"Wait a moment." Qiu Yuge stopped Wang Mingzhi and looked at Xin Yi: "Do we have any work to do next?"
Others also looked over.
Wang Mingzhi also looked over.
It's the middle of the night, and you still have work to do?
It’s different being in a group, there’s so much work to do.
Although Luo Wenbo is about to go abroad, having dinner with him is obviously not as important as work.
If I have work to do later, I obviously won’t be able to finish this meal today.
The people in the Fifth Regiment actually knew very well that there would be no work to do next.
There is only one subtext to their questions.
Can they go.
Xin Yi shook her head: "No."
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Mingzhi then took out his phone: "Then I'll call them. Oh, and where's Lu Yao? Call him too, so we can all go together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mingzhi noticed that Qiu Yuge, who was under his arm, stiffened.
