Dali, the crew of "Legend of Dance and Music"

Liu Shishi wore a black fu hat, a round-necked robe, a jade belt around his waist, a little red mark between his eyebrows, a jade face and cherry lips, looking handsome and elegant.

Acting opposite her is the "villain" Hai Donglai in the play.

This role is very colorful. He is the leader of the inner guards of the Tang Dynasty. He is dressed in a red shirt with a blood-red cloak on the outside. The hood hides part of his face. He holds a red umbrella and has sharp eyes. The actor is Liu Yijun who just finished filming "The Pretender".

The original version of "Legend of Dance and Music" has an impeccable plot, strict logic, various reversals, and very high quality.

But there are two fatal flaws. One is the actors. It’s not that the actors performed badly, but sometimes, certain roles do require some better actors. This is not only a matter of strength, but also a matter of image.

Take the image of Hai Donglai as an example, he is very impressive in the play.

Because he has a strange disease and cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, he wraps himself tightly every time he goes out and holds a red umbrella, and the aura of a yandere, elegant villain suddenly emerges.

At the same time, because of his countless murders and his love of wearing red, the drama is known as "The sea of ​​blood is surging, and the Red Emperor is coming from the east."

Moreover, he had excellent character and was highly praised by both friends and enemies. He was always loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and his final death was a sad event in the drama.

It can be said that this character's abilities, personality, and style are among the best in the drama.

As a result, the actor found an actor with a rough appearance and no memorable features to play the role, and coupled with the poor costumes and props, a character that could have become a classic role was turned into a "supporting role".

Let me put it this way, without watching the drama, anyone who sees the original version of Hai Dong Lai will not give it a high rating.

But now that we have invited Liu Yijun, things are different.

This actor is not only a talented actor, but also has a prominent image. He is known as the "uncle circle's favorite". The most important thing is that his eyes are full of stories.

He is simply perfect for a high-end role like Hai Donglai. Coupled with his upgraded appearance, the audience can feel his power at first sight and think that this character is extremely awesome.

So sometimes, it’s no wonder that some talented actors with ordinary looks can’t make it to the top, as image is indeed an important factor that restricts actors.

I'm not afraid of being ugly, I'm just afraid of having no characteristics!

If you are ugly but still leave a deep impression on the audience, you can still play a villain or an important role. But if you have an average appearance and your professional skills are not particularly outstanding, the audience will not remember you, then you can only play an ordinary supporting role.

To put it more cruelly, not only will the audience not remember you, but the producers and assistant directors will easily ignore you when casting. Not to mention the role, your chances of getting into the crew are smaller than others.

The original version of "Legend of Dance and Music" had a very small investment and couldn't afford to hire many actors, so naturally they just made do with whatever was available and just about did the job.

"Blue Whale" is different. It has a lot of funds, a famous brand, wide connections, and it has two top new dramas, Liu Shishi and Zhang Ruoyun. Therefore, it has recruited a lot of second- and third-tier stars, and the lineup is much better than the original.

Similarly, once this shortcoming is made up, another fatal shortcoming will not be let go.

That is, the costumes and props are extremely sloppy and shabby!

It's just a joke. There used to be a mysterious organization in the entertainment industry called "Rongguang Cult", which was a team consisting of Yu Rongguang, Wang Juan and others.

Yu Rongguang is the director + leader, Wang Juan is the screenwriter + deputy leader, and there is also a producer Jiang Xiaorong, who is considered the honorary leader + grand elder. In addition, there is the official female lead, Choo Ja-hyun, who is also known as the flower of the sect + the saint.

The works produced by Rongguangjiao have several characteristics.

The title of the drama sucks, the costumes and props are terrible, and it has a strong feel of a makeshift troupe, but the plot is rigorous and exciting, the pace is extremely fast, and the actors' acting skills are excellent. As long as you ignore those shortcomings, you will praise it as awesome.

"Legend of Dance and Music" is the representative work of Rongguang Sect, and naturally it also has these characteristics.

It is no exaggeration to say that the costumes and props of the original "Legend of Dance and Music" have reached the point of discouraging audiences. Many viewers think it is a bad drama and do not want to watch it when they see those strange costumes and props.

There was no money for costumes, props, and actors, not to mention publicity, which was almost zero.

Fortunately, this drama was broadcast on CCTV, which had a large enough base, so it did not fail completely.

The subsequent word-of-mouth spread, and countless people helped to recommend the show, which opened up the situation. Even so, the show was not particularly popular because its shortcomings were too obvious.

The current version of Blue Whale has tried its best to make up for these shortcomings, the cast has been improved, and the costumes and props are the forte of Blue Whale.

In the industry, when it comes to the professionalism of costumes and props, Blue Whale would not dare to say that it is the best, but it is definitely in the first tier.

Even because "Legend of Dance and Music" also takes place in the Tang Dynasty, many of the costumes, props and various material materials can be directly used with "The Empress of China", which was also produced by Blue Whale.

The "Empress Wu" in this time and space is not just about Fan Xiaopang relying on low-cut hairstyles to attract people in her previous life. Blue Whale is heavily involved in everything from the script to the production.

To put it bluntly, Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang's Bingyang Company simply paid the money and outsourced the project to Blue Whale.

Blue Whale tailors a drama with Fan Xiaopang as the core, and then Fan Xiaopang cooperates with Blue Whale in promotion and marketing. Finally, when the drama is sold, Blue Whale takes a part of it, and Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang share the rest.

From this perspective, it seems that Blue Whale is at a loss and is simply working for Fat Fan.

But in fact, Fan Xiaopang’s fame and gimmicks are the most crucial bargaining chips for selling the drama. If someone else plays the role, no matter how well Blue Whale is filmed, the price will not be as high as Fan Xiaopang’s.

One party becomes famous, the other party contributes the effort, and Boss Wei pays the money later, so he is also the biggest beneficiary.

Wei Yang is willing to help people like Fan Xiaopang get promoted, but that doesn't mean he will sacrifice his own interests. He has always been a win-win person, and he is the one who wins the most.

Look, a considerable portion of the costumes and props from the previous "The Empress of China" can be modified and used in "The Legend of Dance and Music", so it's a win-win situation.

With the full support of Wei Yang and Blue Whale, "Legend of Dance and Music" has been fully equipped and is still being filmed, but it has already been designated as a key project for next year.

Liu Shishi enjoyed taking the photos herself.

The drama contains fighting scenes, which she is good at. More importantly, the heroine in this drama has an extremely high IQ and her personality is more lively and cunning than her previous roles, which makes the performance quite fresh.

After finishing this scene with Liu Yijun, today's filming came to an end.

Liu Shishi said hello to everyone and returned to the hotel with her assistant.

Compared with before, the biggest change of Liu Shishi this time in the crew is that she is more aloof.

Although she is not an extrovert, she is not aloof. On the contrary, she is happy to chat and interact with her colleagues in the crew and make some friends.

Therefore, Liu Shishi has always had a good reputation among the crew, and some of her good friends know her in this way.

However, having experienced the backstab of molasses, Liu Shishi, who has not yet recovered, still has a distrustful attitude towards the outside world.

So this time when Liu Shishi came to Dali to film, except for meeting a few acquaintances, she spent the rest of her time on official business and rarely socialized. Even when someone came to curry favor with her, her reaction was indifferent.

There are many shrewd people in the entertainment industry. Combined with the recent news, it can be inferred that Liu Shishi is in a bad mood, so no one dares to approach her easily.

Especially the male lead Zhang Ruoyun. Except for filming, he stays away from her in private. When they meet, he dares not say anything other than saying hello.

There's no way, he's scared!

Because Zhang Ruoyun is very popular now and is the representative of handsome young men, and because of his good luck, he has worked with many top female stars in succession, many people tease him, and there are some words that make him tremble when he hears them.

In addition, Liu Shishi is in a bad mood now and is single on the surface, so it seems like she is in a low period no matter how you look at it.

This seemed like the perfect moment to take advantage of someone's opportunity, so he foolishly moved forward, not knowing what words might be heard.

If Boss Wei misunderstood anything, he would be punished to death.

Long before Zhang Ruoyun joined the crew, his agent and immediate superior Yang Tianzhen had personally warned him twice to be extremely cautious and not to ruin his bright future, as the water was very deep here and the farther away from it the better.

Later, Yang Tianzhen was so worried that she even sent an assistant to keep an eye on Zhang Ruoyun to prevent him from doing anything stupid.

There are smart people and stupid people in this world.

There are always some conceited fools who don't know their limits and think that this is a rare opportunity and that they can come and steal Boss Wei's girl.

Little did they know that Wei Yang had always been cautious and would always arrange spies at ordinary times, not to mention such special moments.

There are four people in the team that joined Liu Shishi this time. At least two of them were completely bribed by him, and the rest were more inclined to support the two of them getting back together.

Let’s put it this way, it is impossible for black fans and anti-Wei factions to stay around Liu Shishi. Once such signs are discovered, they will be reported by their spies, and then Boss Wei will find fault with them and drive them away.

He would not easily allow the spies under his control to brainwash Liu Shishi, but he would definitely not allow anyone to deceive him.

After all, without the instigation of besties and people around them, only half of the lovers and couples in this world who have conflicts can live in peace and harmony...

In addition to the people in the team, Wei Yang would usually arrange bodyguards to follow when filming outside. This time he sent more people and even greeted the crew members.

It can be said that the crew of "Legend of Dance and Music" and Liu Shishi's surroundings are all Wei Yang's undercover agents.

Is someone trying to poach someone?

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Just after coming to get close to him for the second time, Wei Yang received two or three reports on him, and then that night, the person was tragically replaced.

Immediately before leaving the crew, he had a conflict and a fight with an "ordinary traveler" in the same hotel.

The incident was then exposed by a "source", and rumors spread online that a certain actor was suspected of being a big shot and engaging in a fight. Not only did it successfully become a hot topic, but various media outlets also began to dig up previous negative material.

Not long after, two actresses who claimed to be his ex-girlfriends publicly exposed the allegations, criticizing him for being a gigolo, cheating on his wife, and saying that they had had abortions for him, etc.

In short, the actor's reputation and image collapsed after this incident, and he was in an extremely embarrassing situation. He also encountered repeated setbacks in the industry and was even forced to change careers.

On the contrary, the two ex-girlfriends may have spoken out for justice, and later they got some film and television resources. The one who revealed the abortion, perhaps because she was too pitiful, later signed a contract with Coral Entertainment, which can be said to be a turn of events.

Of course, this all happened later.

At this time, all Zhang Ruoyun saw was that the fight had become a hot topic, his past negative material was dug up, and the entire network was furious about this part.

But that's enough!

At this moment, Zhang Ruoyun finally understood what it meant to turn one's hand to make clouds and another to make rain, and understood what an entertainment tycoon meant.

He had been a bit complacent after becoming a top star due to his instant success, but now his mentality has disappeared in an instant and he is now concentrating on filming.

Although his methods are cruel, he is one of us after all. Looking at it from another perspective, if there are no conflicts with him, having such a boss is actually quite safe.

After all, Boss Wei is well-known for protecting his own people.

Moreover, Zhang Ruoyun also believed that Wei Yang's character was not that cruel, and this time he had touched his bottom line.

He is also a man, and if he were in the other person's shoes, he might have been even more ruthless.

It is not mentioned how Zhang Ruoyun cleared Wei Yang, but after this incident, he stayed away from Liu Shishi. Others were also shocked. Even the director temporarily promoted a female assistant and asked her to follow him when he discussed the play with Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi naturally noticed something was wrong, but she took a tacit attitude.

This is pretty good. She was on so many hot searches recently that she was actually a little uncomfortable appearing in public. Now she has a lot of peace and quiet.

After returning to the hotel, Liu Shishi first made a video call to Wei Yang, who had already flown to Thailand to film.

Soon, a "mature man" wearing a Southeast Asian floral shirt, with dark skin and a beard appeared in the video.

"You haven't finished work yet?"

"No, the time difference here is one hour slower than in China, but it's fast. There are no night scenes today. I'll go back to the hotel after these two scenes."

"Then go ahead, I'm going to have dinner and watch the live broadcast later."

"What live broadcast are you watching?"

"Golden Eagle Awards, let's go see the new Golden Eagle Goddess. I heard she got more votes than I did back then."

Wei Yang: “…”

"Oh no, the director has called for filming. I'm hanging up now."

Liu Shishi curled her lips and called her assistant to go to a restaurant near the hotel for dinner. This was a treasure restaurant she had just found. The food was delicious. She basically ate here whenever she was free these days.

She asked for a small cubicle and while waiting for her food, Liu Shishi browsed Weibo and saw the behind-the-scenes footage of the Golden Eagle Goddess.

This is to build momentum for the Golden Eagle Awards, show some behind-the-scenes footage, attract fans' attention, and then drive traffic to the live broadcast.

Liu Shishi clicked on it out of curiosity. The video inside was mainly about how wonderful the design of Zhao Liying's Golden Eagle Goddess battle robe was, how complicated the production process was, how excellent the finished product was, etc.

Watching some of the rehearsal videos in the video, Liu Shishi felt a little jealous.

Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she has to say that Zhao Liying's Golden Eagle Goddess battle robe is indeed beautiful, even better than she looked before.

"It must have been that bastard who did it!"

Liu Shishi's original clothing style was designed by Wei Yang, so Zhao Liying would naturally think so this time.

However, she was wrong in this case.

It was because it was later revealed that Wei Yang was involved that everyone understood why Liu Shishi had gotten rid of the rustic and weird image of the previous Golden Eagle Goddess. Everyone praised her highly and even hoped that the Hunan Provincial TV station would continue to do so in the future.

This really irritated the Hunan Provincial TV station, so this time they said they would not let Wei Yang take care of it. They invested a lot of money and effort to customize a battle robe for Zhao Liying, and also released a preview of the footage.

I just want to tell everyone that when Mango gets serious, its clothing styling will still be a role model in the industry.

But soon, Liu Shishi noticed a detail and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

The pilot film mainly focuses on the Golden Eagle Goddess. In addition to showing the battle robe, it also keeps praising Zhao Liying. This is a very normal operation.

However, there is one interesting point. It was revealed in the behind-the-scenes footage that when Zhao Liying appeared as the Golden Eagle Goddess this time, she was wearing a pair of 25-centimeter high heels, which made it difficult for her to move around, and sometimes she even had to be supported by staff to walk.

In fact, the original intention of the pilot film was to exaggerate Zhao Liying, believing that she worked hard and dedicatedly to overcome difficulties and try her best to present the best stage effects.

But Liu Shishi ignored all of this and only saw one word -

Short! Liu Shishi is not the only one who thinks the same way. After all, Zhao Liying has many haters, and there are many mocking posts on Weibo.

Liu Shishi picked a Weibo post with relatively sharp language and liked it with her big account. Then she cancelled the like button 5 minutes later and commented below.

[Sorry, my hand slipped]

(Yes, I did it on purpose) Liu Shishi put down her phone comfortably, finally getting back at the spot where Zhao Liying "slipped" and liked the post last time.

Moreover, today is Zhao Liying's big day. Her helping to get on the hot search list can be regarded as a kind of congratulations. I think the other party will be very happy.

Disgusting, it's like who wouldn't...
