Chapter 518: Character Troubles
Yang Mi held Du Sheng's arm and said proudly:
"You're not the same, it's just that you're embarrassed to show it because of your status as captain.
I can act coquettishly with Brother Sheng at any time. This is the advantage of being free. ”
Yang Mi is very aware of Liu Yifei's cute personality, so her words will not be false.
If Liu Shishi, Yang Mi and Tang Yan were not present, this girl might have thrown herself into Du Sheng's arms.
But in front of her sisters, she still had to put on a show.
After all, as the captain, she has to take pride into consideration.
After gathering what they needed, the group got into a nine-seater commercial vehicle.
After chatting for a while, Du Sheng asked with concern:
"Have you guys gone back to school recently? How are you adapting?"
Yang Mi held his hand and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I just feel a little bored. The boys in the class are too naive."
Although she is a freshman, most of the boys in the class are older than her. The reason why she feels childish is purely because of the familiarity.
On the one hand, she is often with Du Sheng, and they are often compared;
On the other hand, having debuted as a child star since she was a child, she has already seen the social side.
Compared with ordinary students, they are naturally more mature in dealing with others.
Liu Shishi glanced at Liu Yifei and said with a smile:
"I heard from Sissi that a boy in her class had a crush on her and almost confessed his love to her in public."
Although Liu Yifei can be silly and cute sometimes, her appearance and temperament are nothing to say.
Du Sheng smiled and nodded and said:
"Shi Shi, your looks and temperament are not bad either. You should be pursued by boys, right?"
Tang Yan laughed and took the topic:
"Shi Shi is smart. She always maintains a certain distance and is a little aloof, so no one dares to pursue her easily.
However, there is a classmate who likes Xiao Mi. He once showed up excitedly at our book signing. As a result, my foot was slightly injured. Brother Sheng, you have to give me a massage tonight. ”
Tang Yan seemed to have realized the gap between himself and the other three little sisters, so he began to adjust the way he got along with Du Sheng.
Moreover, she also learned how to get closer and make small requests.
Du Sheng thought of her white feet and agreed with a smile:
"No problem, the set meal is arranged for tonight."
At this time, Wang Jinhua said:
"A Sheng, the organizer's producer Sun Bin and host Dong Qing invited us to have dinner tonight. Do you want to go?"
The program "Happy Journey to the East" is a variety show jointly invested and co-produced with Chenyi Media.
Tomorrow will be the first recording of the program, and the organizer has invited Du Sheng and Girls' Generation as guests.
Participating in this show can not only earn money, but also promote albums and new dramas. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Du Sheng smiled and joked:
"We haven't been to the Peking Hotel yet, of course we have to go."
Du Sheng previously wrote the lyrics for "Start with Me", the theme song of "Happy Journey to the East", and planned to have it sung by the host, with Girls' Generation also participating in the chorus.
With this relationship, it is natural to go and have a meal together.
Considering that it was late, the group decided to go directly from the airport to the place where Dong Qing ordered the meal.
Wang Jinhua asked her assistant and stylist to arrange dinner on their own, while she followed Du Sheng and the Girls' Generation girls, and a group of six people entered the hotel private room.
In the private room, in addition to Dong Qing and program producer Sun Bin, there were also director Wang Hao and another host Zhang Wei.
When I saw them coming in, I naturally had to be polite.
Dong Qing smiled and led Du Sheng and others to the guest seats to sit down and said:
"I haven't congratulated Mr. Du for winning the Golden Rooster Award. You always bring us surprises every time we meet again."
Although she still has short hair, she looks so dignified and generous, with an elegant and confident intellectual beauty.
The last time she had a brief meeting with Du Sheng was at the promotion venue for "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
Du Sheng shook hands with Dong Qing and responded with a smile:
"Ms. Dong serves as the supporter of "Happy Journey to the East" again this time. This is a further step forward. We are all happy together."
Since "Girls' Generation" took over the promotion track of the show, today's "Happy Journey to the East" is destined to be much more influential than its previous life.
Coupled with the brand effect of Yangshi, the ratings of the program are also more guaranteed.
After everyone sat down and chatted about some light topics, producer Sun Bin continued:
"Mr. Du, tomorrow's launch ceremony and book signing at Wangfujing Bookstore will be the first collective public appearance of the program's creative team...
We have prepared a script for you, you can refer to the above content to speak. ”
Since Du Sheng is very popular now and he is also the media BOSS, the program team communicated with him in advance.
If it were any other artist, they would have been arranged directly without any communication.
Nowadays, Du Sheng is not only a star, but as his influence on social networks gradually increases, he has become a trend of public opinion among young people.
Therefore, he is more cautious in selecting program content.
"Happy Journey to the East" is a brand-new program. Each recording requires traveling to a different place. No one dares to guarantee its success.
In Sun Bin's words, he also vaguely pointed out that since Du Sheng knows Korean, he might as well perform with the idol team of Kimchi Country...
However, the difference in popularity between the two sides was too big, and Wang Jinhua felt it was inappropriate.
Just as she was about to speak, Du Sheng unexpectedly gave her a look of relief, smiled and said:
"TVXQ and Girls' Generation are both idol groups, so maybe it would be better for them to collaborate.
Of course, if possible, it would be best to sing "Full House" theme song "Destiny." ”
After hearing this reply, Dong Qing and Sun Bin felt helpless, but they could not force Du Sheng to change his mind.
So Dong Qing followed the current and said:
"I hope TVXQ's performance can satisfy you, Mr. Du.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of the show, we will start rehearsals at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Thank you for arriving early. ”
"No problem."
Du Sheng smiled and said:
"We will be there on time tomorrow."
Theoretically, he and Girls' Generation should arrive today to prepare,
But because they are quite prosperous now, they have already enjoyed the treatment of first-line stars in the three places across the Taiwan Strait and are paid on a daily basis for participating in the show.
If they arrive at the "Happy Journey to the East" program in advance for rehearsal, the program team will need to pay extra.
Therefore, the program team only asked them to be present on the day.
The rules in the circle are like this, and Sun Bin and others are not dissatisfied with it.
Being able to invite Du Sheng and Girls' Generation is already a great gain for "Happy Journey to the East".
This can be regarded as their golden signboard of Yangshi is strong enough.
Funds from sponsors can also be fully recovered.
Afterwards, the two sides discussed some details about tomorrow's program.
After all the dishes were served, we started chatting while eating.
Liu Yifei ate with gusto, and many of the spicy dishes on the table suited her taste.
In addition, her mother was still in Yangcheng to deal with the backlog of matters from the previous trip, so her cousin would not care about her, so she let her belly go without restraint.
But she forgot that there was another one.
The corners of Wang Jinhua's mouth twitched and she couldn't help but whispered:
"Sissi, you have to perform on stage tomorrow, so you shouldn't eat too much spicy food tonight."
You do need to watch your diet before a big show just in case you feel unwell.
Liu Yifei immediately put down her chopsticks and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment:
"Well... I'm sorry, I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time, and I can't control my mouth."
Du Sheng laughed and said:
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you have one or two meals."
Speaking of this, he raised his thumb to Sun Bin, Dong Qing and others:
“I have to say that the program team is very generous and they chose the best restaurants in Beijing.”
"It's just nearby. The sponsor invited me tonight, and it doesn't cost much."
Sun Bin smiled and waved his hands, remaining modest.
However, he also agreed with Wang Jinhua's words that it is normal for Girls' Generation to be strict with themselves before performing on stage.
After all, it’s not uncommon for singers to lose their voice the next day.
Du Sheng did not interfere and just said:
"Then let's have something light. After the performance tomorrow, I will take you to have a good meal."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei and the other girls immediately nodded expectantly.
Since tomorrow is the first recording of the program, the entire program team is very busy.
Dong Qing and others also took time to come over for dinner tonight, so they didn't drink too much and left after a few drinks.
Du Sheng took Girls' Generation and the others back to the hotel where they were staying.
After arriving in the room, the two girls Tang Yan and Yang Mi had a good understanding and ran to take a shower quickly.
After taking a shower, they lay on the sofa, swaying their white and tender feet, and looked at Du Sheng with hope.
Previously, Liu Shishi's feet were somewhat deformed due to ballet practice, but with Du Sheng's persistent massage care, this condition has completely disappeared.
Although Tang Yan and Yang Mi were not in this situation, they felt very comfortable after the massage and were energetic the next day, so they enjoyed it endlessly.
Their feet are very white, their pink toes are like five small pearls, their feet are also very beautiful, and their skin is as delicate as silk.
Du Sheng washed his hands, sat on the other side of the sofa, first put Yang Mi's feet on his thighs, and started massaging them rhythmically.
As for the rumors of foot odor in the past life, there is currently no sign of it.
Soon, Yang Mi's fair skin turned a faint pink.
Her face also turned crimson, and her eyes were a little distant.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Du Sheng did not look at her, but used his usual method of diverting attention, while massaging and chatting with Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi sitting on the other side:
"How is your martial arts training going?"
The cast list of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has basically been confirmed.
The producers are Zhang Zhizong and Zhong Zhen. The directors are Yu Min and Ju Jueliang.
Almost maintaining the team of "Dragon". In terms of investment, it is estimated to be more than 30 million, and Hongwu Film and Television and Star Media will split the investment 50-50.
Half a month ago, Zhang Dabeard took the two directors to have a look at the scenery and confirm the project establishment and reading.
Liu Yifei will play the role of Little Dragon Girl next, which will have many fighting scenes.
A week ago she had started martial arts training with Huang Deli.
Speaking of which, when Zhang Dabeard posted the audition list for Little Dragon Girl, the Internet was in a commotion.
Because the four most popular people are Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Jiang Qinqin, and Quan Zhixian.
The first is Liu Yifei.
Although netizens' evaluation of her is good, it also shows a polarizing trend.
Most viewers thought she had a fairy spirit, while a small number complained about her poor acting skills.
A similar situation also happened to Zhou Xun.
Ever since she played the role of Huang Rong, she has been criticized overwhelmingly.
Now, when they heard that she might harm Xiao Longnu again, netizens started complaining on major forums.
More than half of netizens strongly called for a replacement, otherwise they would not watch.
Audiences generally believe that Zhou Xun's voice may destroy the beauty of Xiao Longnu.
There is indeed some truth to this.
Just imagine, a fairy-like aunt holds a child in her arms, but her voice is hoarse when she opens her mouth. It is indeed easy to make people laugh.
Unlike Zhou Xun, Jiang Qinqin and Quan Zhixian received better reviews.
But investors are still hesitant about who to choose.
One of the managers was partial to Jun Ji-hyun, believing that with the popularity of Korean dramas now, casting her would enhance her international influence.
Therefore, the casting of the heroine can be described as controversial.
After "friendly" coordination by Star Media, this role finally fell to Liu Yifei.
In contrast, after learning that Du Sheng would star in Yang Guo, the comment section received unanimous praise and expectations.
I think he is the most handsome Yang Guo in history, even more handsome than Gu Tianle.
There were many actors who auditioned for Yang Guo before, including many well-known artists, such as Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun.
Wang Jinhua had shown Du Sheng their makeup trial photos before.
It must be admitted that Chen Kun's costume appearance is obviously more handsome than Huang Xiaoming's.
If Du Sheng were an investor, he would definitely choose Chen Kun instead of the "greasy leader" Huang Xiaoming.
But no matter what, now both of them have lost to Du Sheng.
And he was convinced to lose.
Hearing Du Sheng mention the upcoming itinerary, Liu Yifei said proudly:
"Cousin, we have cooperated several times, don't you still know our background?"
Tang Yan interface said:
"Uncle Huang just taught us the basic skills. It feels much simpler than Crane Fist. You can understand it after practicing it a few times."
Du Sheng smiled and said:
"You didn't join the team so quickly, did you? Are you being arrested?"
This drama is just like "Dragon", the action directors are both Zhao Jian and Huang Deli.
Everyone is familiar with it, so it can be expected that the shooting atmosphere will be good.
Yang Mi looked pitiful and said:
"That's not true. Uncle Huang felt that we had slacked off after not filming for a few months. He asked us to stretch our muscles before we even joined the group. It's been a tough few days.
If Brother Sheng hadn't helped me with the massage tonight, I wouldn't have known how I would survive the rest of my life! ”
Because it was a drama invested by Star Media, and Zhang Dabeard had the idea of recreating "Sword and Sword 1", all four of them were brought into the crew.
Du Sheng had no objection to this.
According to the popularity of the previous life, even if this drama is not as good as "Sword", it is probably not far behind.
This is of great benefit to Girls' Generation.
Maybe it will become their Blood Ox masterpiece in the future.
Out of a sense of responsibility, he also participated in discussions about their roles.
Liu Yifei plays the role of Xiao Longnu, this will not change.
Among the remaining female characters, Huang Rong has entered middle age and is not suitable for them.
Then the only ones that catch the eye are Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, Li Mochou, Gongsun Lv'e, Lu Wushuang, and Cheng Ying.
What's more amazing is that, except for Li Mochou, almost all of these female characters have interactions with Yang Guo, and even have feelings of admiration for him.
However, Gongsun Lv'e, Lu Wushuang's daughter Lu Wushuang, and Lu Wushuang's cousin Cheng Ying from The Girl of the Heartless Valley have relatively few roles and have been eliminated in advance by Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaoli.
Then there are only three left, Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and Li Mochou, and their roles are also in the second echelon.
According to the discussion between Zhang Dabeard and Wang Jinhua, they made a preliminary version of the actor correspondence list.
The first is Guo Fu.
Her character is willful and has a bit of a young lady's temper, but she is also persistent and kind-hearted.
The characters Tang Yan played in the past had a grand image, which could not only show Guo Fu's eldest lady temperament, but also show her growth and changes, so Zhang Zhizong was quite optimistic about her.
As for Guo Xiang.
This character is innocent, kind and intelligent, and has a deep love for Yang Guo.
Zhang Zhizong has watched Yang Mi's roles as Xiao Zhao and Lin Ruyue, and feels that her agility and agility are quite suitable, and her image and acting skills can also capture Guo Xiang's innocence.
In the previous life, this role was indeed handed over to Yang Mi.
She also performed her quirky and smart character well, and was quite popular among the audience.
And Li Mochou?
This character requires a temperament that is both beautiful and a bit cold and tragic. In the end, love turns to hate, and he becomes ruthless.
Liu Shishi's temperament is fresh and elegant, gentle and restrained with tenacity.
If her acting skills keep up, she will definitely be able to express Li Mochou's ruthlessness, madness, and inner pain and struggle.
It can even subvert the image and broaden the scope of play.
But after reading the role recommendation list, Du Sheng pondered for a moment and gave his own opinion.
It is true that Zhang Zhizong and Wang Jinhua's recommendations were not bad, but there was one thing they ignored.
That's because their acting skills are just a matter of taste!
The first is Liu Shishi.
This girl does have a beautiful classical temperament. Among the four girls, she is also the most diligent in practicing Crane Fist. She can show strength and beauty in martial arts scenes, and she has a high degree of compatibility with the role of Li Mochou.
But it just so happens that this character has three personality reversals.
At the beginning, Liu Shishi really matched the coldness and sadness.
However, it is currently difficult for her to interpret the subsequent ruthlessness and madness, as well as hatred and ruthlessness caused by love.
Even if Du Sheng's acting skills can be improved by playing alongside him.
Because it involves social experience and experience.
Followed by Yang Mi.
She is indeed suitable for interpreting Guo Xiang's kindness and intelligence, and can also show her innocence.
But this character also has innocence and straightforwardness, especially the gentle eyes and delicate emotions.
In addition, before the college entrance examination, Du Sheng agreed to choose a role with more scenes for Yang Mi as compensation.
And Guo Xiang has fewer scenes than Guo Fu and Li Mochou.
So I thought about it and made the following changes.
Guo Fu is played by Yang Mi.
The reason given by Du Sheng is simple.
Yang Mi's eyes are very smart and she can interpret Guo Fu's character traits of being coquettish, willful and a little bit like a young lady.
Moreover, she has certain explosive power in performance, and can better interpret Guo Fu's intense emotions such as pride and regret after cutting off Yang Guo's arm.
If it were Liu Shishi with a fresh and elegant temperament, these aspects would feel inconsistent.
Li Mochou was played by Tang Yan.
The reason is also very simple.
Tang Yan's appearance is relatively bright and majestic, and her eyes can reveal a kind of fierceness and domineering.
Her age and acting skills are also the most advantageous among the four.
It can express Li Mochou's ruthlessness, madness, inner pain and struggle, hatred due to love, cruelty, etc.
The most important thing is that Tang Yan has the temperament of a heroic girl and can support Li Mochou's strong aura.
As for Guo Xiang giving it to Liu Shishi, compared with Yang Mi, it was actually only half a pound.
First of all, she has a sense of innocence, which fits Guo Xiang's character very well.
Guo Xiang is innocent, kind and intelligent, and has a deep love for Yang Guo. Liu Shishi can interpret it with her gentle eyes and delicate affection.
Especially with Du Sheng taking the lead, there is absolutely no problem in this regard.
The most important thing is that her classical temperament also complements Jin Yong's Guo Xiang, giving the audience an unforgettable sense of compatibility.
Regarding Du Sheng's unique proposal, Zhang Zhizong and Wang Jinhua thought about it and had to admit that the other party had a shrewd vision.
This may be the difference between being familiar with the people around you and being able to take advantage of the situation.
