In mid-June, the filming of "Joy of Life" began to enter the final stage, and Da Mimi finally joined the crew for a guest appearance.
In the dressing room, Da Mimi, wearing a men's hair tie, shook off the heavy and bulky dragon robe and couldn't help complaining.
"Didn't your crew consider how the actors would film when designing the costumes? They're so thick and so big, they must be dying of heat when filming in this weather."
"Who made you come late?"
Wei Yang looked at the effect of the clothes on his body and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't you know your own body shape? If the clothes are not thicker and bigger, how can they cover it up?"
"That can't be helped. I'm gifted."
Da Mimi was a little proud, Wei Yang curled his lips, regardless of whether it was true or not, there was another Liu Yan in their crew who was even more talented.
Speaking of which, if this statement is followed, the child [Red Bean Rice] born by the Northern Qi emperor through borrowing the sperm of Fan Xian, whose "father" is Da Mimi and whose "mother" is Northern Qi imperial concubine Liu Yan, must have had more than enough food...
There was no problem with the costume, and Wei Yang looked at Da Mimi's makeup again.
Since Da Mimi played the young Northern Qi emperor Zhan Doudou, who was a woman dressed as a man, the makeup was designed for a male character with a darker skin tone. He asked the makeup artist to draw sword-like eyebrows for Da Mimi, adding a bit of heroic spirit.
At first glance, he still looks a bit like a handsome young man with a "good-looking girl".
It’s just that Da Mimi’s voice is still a little too delicate, so Wei Yang plans to use dubbing in the later stage and find a girl with a deeper voice to voice Zhan Doudou.
"When filming, you need to be more masculine and pay attention to your manners. The more androgynous the better."
Wei Yang tells Da Mimi about acting. Although the acting skills of the 85 flowers have been criticized and Da Mimi is often ridiculed, she is not really a pure vase. At least her acting skills are pretty good among the current young actors.
It’s just that, a lot of the time, or perhaps most of the time, Da Mimi never takes her acting seriously.
Just as Li Shaohong commented on her, she doesn't use her brain when acting and her performances are programmed.
To put it bluntly, Da Mimi debuted too early. She grew up on the film set and is a veteran in the crew. Moreover, she took on too many roles and was often rushed to finish multiple scenes. She had no time to think about the role and it was good enough that she could remember the script.
Under such circumstances, in order to film faster and more easily, she gradually developed a fixed shooting routine.
They just think of a few ways of performing, to make her laugh (hahaha) or cry (wa wa wa), but they are superficial and don't consider whether it fits the situation and the role, and the performance is extremely homogeneous.
However, Wei Yang doesn’t care whether Da Mimi behaves badly in other crews, but in the crew of "Joy of Life", although her role doesn’t have many lines, he still has requirements for her.
Da Mimi had no intention of being perfunctory and listened carefully to Wei Yang's explanation of the play. Her attitude was much more serious than in other crews.
The reason is simple. Although her guest appearance in "Joy of Life" is a way of repaying a favor, it is also an opportunity for her to show her face in front of Wei Yang.
She had the opportunity to act in Wei Yang's play before, but she gave it up later. Since then, she has been rejected several times when she tried to get resources from Wei Yang and Blue Whale.
And this guest appearance is her first time to actually join the crew hosted by Wei Yang. Her performance is good and may impress Wei Yang.
After all, in terms of fame and popularity, there are very few new generation actresses who can be compared with Da Mimi.
Among the popular young actresses, Da Mimi has her own unique advantages, which even Wei Yang cannot deny.
Therefore, both Da Mimi herself and her management team had already discussed before coming to guest star that they must perform well this time and impress Wei Yang as much as possible, or at least leave a good impression.
They have experience in this matter.
Previously, when filming "Beauty's Rival in Palace", Da Mimi played the second female lead. She performed well and moved the girl, and eventually she became the female lead in "Palace Lock Heart Jade".
Although Da Mimi is only a guest star in "Joy of Life" now, in time, she may have the opportunity to become the heroine of Boss Wei's new drama.
Even though Da Mimi is determined to enter the film industry, it does not mean that she will give up on TV dramas. At least she does not have the confidence and qualifications to do so now.
There is no doubt that the new drama led or starred by Wei Yang is one of the most sought-after TV drama resources in the circle, and the word "one" can even be removed.
For now, if Si Yatou and Wei Yang invited Da Mimi to be the heroine at the same time, she would choose the latter without hesitation.
If it were other actresses, more than 95% would make the same choice as her...
Therefore, Da Mimi really didn't dare to mess around in Wei Yang's crew. Instead, she listened very seriously and even discussed the role with Wei Yang in a serious manner.
Before coming, she not only read the script, but also watched relevant excerpts from the original novel, and even asked someone to prepare a biography of the character.
This made Wei Yang look at her with a new respect, and he couldn't help but want to complain about her.
Why is it that when these notorious 85 flowers work with him, they all become so excited?
Not only Liu Shishi and Xiao Zhao have started to cheat, but Tang Yan, the shame of the Chinese Academy of Drama, no longer plays the role of a silly and sweet girl.
Zi Xuan and the second female lead in "My Dear Lady" are her best-received roles so far. Haitang Duoduo is also heroic, easy-going and simple.
Even Da Mimi doesn't act badly anymore. Her serious attitude and the several thousand-word biography can move other directors who have worked with her to tears.
This made Wei Yang particularly want to have a clash with Liu Tianxian and Yang Tianbao.
Liu Tianxian is fine, at least he can find a role that suits him and it is not difficult for him to stand out. But he doesn't believe that Yang Tianbao can cheat if he meets him.
Is it possible to act in a horror movie?
Her eyes staring straight at you, with a grin, is really creepy...
Wei Yang talked for a while, and seeing that Da Mimi understood the role well and was in good condition, he thought there was no need to talk nonsense anymore and just wait to start shooting in the afternoon.
As if she realized that she had performed well, Da Mimi was very happy and even teased Wei Yang.
"If I hadn't read the original novel, I wouldn't have known that this Northern Qi emperor would have a sex scene later on."
Wei Yang played dumb: "Really?"
"Why not?"
“…”
Wei Yang was frowning. He didn't expect Da Mimi to be so boring that she even remembered every volume and chapter of the original book.
In the early years, the censorship was not strict, and the authors let themselves go and wrote in a bold and flamboyant style. It was nothing like later, when even driving a car had to be roundabout, and no one dared to write a sensitive word, as it would be easily blocked by the censorship.
But to be honest, this chapter of "Joy of Life" was also blocked at some point, so LSPs don't have to search for it anymore.
Da Mimi was obviously very interested in this scene and kept asking Wei Yang whether he wanted to shoot it or not, but Wei Yang was unsure.
"Those are all scripts for the third season, and they haven't been released yet."
"If you want to film it, you have to add the line 'I want to be on top', otherwise I won't act."
"I didn't expect you to like this."
Wei Yang looked at Da Mimi strangely and said back what he had just said, and the latter puffed out her chest.
"This is in line with my role. I am the emperor. As an emperor, how can I be inferior to others?"

Wei Yang: “…”
This woman is so shameless, it's really a bit familiar...
However, no matter whether it was to repay a favor or to make friends with Wei Yang, Da Mimi came to guest star in "Joy of Life" this time without charging a penny and even gave Xiao Yang ten days of schedule.
Considering her current popularity, Wei Yang came out to entertain her personally as a big honor.
The last person who received the same treatment was Fan Xiaopang who came to make a guest appearance. If Liu Shishi hadn't been there in person, she would probably have spent a day and a half discussing the script with Wei Yang in her two days.
The two of them hung out in the lounge for quite a while, and finally it was time for a lunch break.
The crew had lunch, and Tang Yan, who had been filming in the morning, also had some time to come over and act out a reunion scene of close friendship with Da Mimi.
At this stage, Da Mimi is somewhat estranged from Liu Shishi. She also had a lot of unpleasantness with the Teddy Sisters because Huo Siyan snatched her role in "The Banquet". At least Qin and Huo rarely interact with each other.
So to a certain extent, Da Mimi’s best friends at this stage are Tang Yan and Tong Yaya.
The latter collaborated with Da Mimi in three consecutive dramas, "Palace Lock Heart Jade", "Beauty of Tang Palace" and "Beijing Love Story", and accumulated quite a friendship with her.
It is said that Da Mimi was Tong's matchmaker, bringing her and Chen Sicheng together in "Beijing Love Story". Later, the two of them also participated in "Real Men" together.
However, the ones who interact the most are Tang Yan and Da Mimi. Wei Yang alone has seen the two talking on the phone several times on the set of "Joy of Life" and in private.
The degree of their sticky love is no less than that of Liu Shishi and Da Mimi.
In this regard, Wei Yang still admires Da Mimi very much. She is very good at making friends, but she is not very good at maintaining friendship, so she is "abandoned by everyone."
Three women make a scene, and two of them are also quite lively. Wei Yang gets a headache when he hears their chattering.
Since Da Mimi had someone to accompany her anyway, he left without hesitation, saying that he was going to watch the morning's replay.
As soon as Wei Yang left, Da Mimi became more relaxed and started to ask about Wei Yang's style on the set.
"This guy doesn't curse, does he?"
Apart from the "Chinese Paladin 3" that year, she and Wei Yang have never worked together.
When she was filming "Eastern Palace", she wanted to make a guest appearance to ease the relationship, but she didn't go in the end for various reasons, so this is her first time filming a scene with Wei Yang.
In "Chinese Paladin 3", the two had very few scenes against each other, and Wei Yang was just a supporting role at the time, he only cared about filming and didn't care about anything else.
But the crew he leads is different. Da Mimi is confused about the route and must learn more about it.
"It's okay. With the director here, he rarely gets angry on the set. But sometimes he looks sullen, which can be pretty scary."
Tang Yan and Wei Yang have collaborated more than once. Not to mention "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", the two had also filmed "My Love from the Star". In her impression, Wei Yang rarely got angry and cursed people, but once he got serious, he was very powerful.
When Rouba was filming before, Wei Yang scolded him a few words and made him cry.
Although in Tang Yan's opinion, the little girl was trying to take advantage of the situation to act pitiful, it also revealed the deterrent power of Boss Wei in the crew.
Tang Yan comforted her best friend: "Don't worry, you are here as a guest star, so you must save face and will not embarrass yourself in public."
"I'm not afraid of being scolded."
Da Mimi told the truth. Which actor hasn't been scolded on the set? Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is not too embarrassing. What she is afraid of is lowering Wei Yang's impression score.
As she said this, she looked at Tang Yan with a sour look on her face: "I haven't congratulated you in person yet for getting such a good role."
After the project of "Joy of Life" was launched, several important female roles were scrambled for by female stars in the industry.
Especially after Liu Shishi played the role of Chicken Leg Girl, Haitang Duoduo became the most sought-after character.
Including Da Mimi, she actually tried hard in private, but unfortunately failed, and then she had to watch Tang Yan, whose advantage was not obvious, finally succeed.
"I'm also lucky that Wei Yang is sentimental."
Tang Yan was modest in her words, but when she saw Da Mimi looking like she was eating a lemon, she felt so happy in her heart.
Best friends are best friends, and career is career. Among the so-called three beauties of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", she has always been at the bottom, and was even excluded by [Shi Mi] at one point.
This time, "Joy of Life" can be regarded as a comeback. If it weren't for the explosion of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", Tang Yan's sense of satisfaction could have doubled again...
