Chapter 473: A Stunning Beginning

Shuntian Mansion, Huairou Film and Television City.

"Excalibur Lu Sanping" set.

At night, at 7:30, when the last shot ended, the director finally picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "That's it for today, everyone go back and have a good rest, tomorrow morning at 6:30, I don't want to see anyone late!"

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Especially the actors.

The weather at the end of August, although the heat has receded, it is still normal to climb to more than 30 degrees during the day. In such a hot weather, the staff of the crew are sweating profusely in bunts, not to mention the actors Want to wear a thick ancient costume?

Zhu Qiang's afternoon scene was finished around six o'clock, but after taking off his makeup, he didn't leave. Instead, he went back and forth with a group of production staff, just like an ordinary handyman, helping to move a Give me some water or something.

The senior year is about to start, that is to say, for him, there is only the last year of life at Shuntian Film Academy, and next, as an actor, he has to worry about whether he can accept it. Worried about the show appointment.

Last year, I filmed "Legend of the New White Snake" and played the leading role of Xu Xian. It is said that for a film school student, this is already a great qualification. You know, not just anyone can play the leading role. What's more, he has another qualification, which is also worth reviewing, and that is Zhuge Jun, who only played a few scenes in the drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on China TV.

But, no use.

For a small role like Zhuge Jun, if he doesn’t mention it himself or write it in his resume, no one will pay attention to it. After all, in a big drama like the Three Kingdoms, his role is too inconspicuous. "Legend of the New White Snake" has not been aired until now, so his past qualifications... can only be said that he has acted in two dramas, but in fact, he basically has no qualifications.

A top student from Shuncheon Film Academy, handsome in appearance and cheap in asking price, this is his biggest capital when he is looking for a role to sign a film contract.

Of course, after staying in the crew of "Legend of the New White Snake" for several months, other actors came and went. As the leading actor, he followed him almost from beginning to end. He has met many well-known figures in the circle, which is also one of his major advantages.

No, although there was only one play, Zhou Yuhai, who played Fahai in Xinbaili at that time, introduced him to a character not long ago. In the forty-episode large-scale martial arts series "Excalibur Lu Sanping", a There are about ten or twenty minute shots of a small character—called Xiaoyao Gongzi. Well, this character doesn't have a name, and it's called Young Master Xiaoyao from beginning to end in the play.

The role is very simple, appear on the stage, pretend to be aggressive, play handsome, and then get killed, OK!

Zhu Qiang is a young actor. Although this role is very small, and in his opinion, it is really worthless, but he still cherishes it very much. After joining the group, he tried his best to make every shot As best as possible, on the other hand, he doesn't treat himself as an actor, as long as he takes off the costume in the play, he will immediately become a little worker running around and following around - to be honest, such a People, whether it's the director or the crew, it's really hard for someone not to like it.

He and Li Qian are classmates at the same level of the Film Academy. They usually play together, eat night stalls, and watch movies together. But on the set of "Legend of the New White Snake", he rarely behaved like Li Qian How close they are, but as long as there is no play with him, they will treat themselves like a small worker and follow Sun Yuting, Lu Bin and the others to fight everywhere. Moreover, he is not only studious and diligent, but also very humble and polite with everyone, so he is very popular.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yuhai's crew here heard that an actor in this crew could not come temporarily, and when they inquired about the request, they immediately thought of him! It’s only been a dozen days since I’ve been here, and I didn’t take too many shots together. It’s usually based on the shooting sequence of the main characters. When necessary, let him go up and take two shots. No need, as a young actor , he could only wait, but unfortunately, in the past ten days or so, everyone in the crew, especially the assistant director and the crew, all became friends with him.

The director shouted the end, the actors rushed to remove their make-up, and the staff of the crew were busy packing their things. Zhu Qiang continued to work back and forth. He didn't take the battery car back to the hotel with everyone until he was done. .

After getting off the car at the hotel, the assistant director greeted him, "Xiao Zhu, let's have a drink together later."

Normally, even if Zhu Qiang doesn't like wine, he doesn't drink too much, but he doesn't refuse. He sits with everyone warmly and listens to their chats. But today, he shook his head abnormally , Said: "No, you can drink, I want to watch TV tonight."

Someone said: "What's there to watch on TV, how nice it is to go out and drink draft beer together!"

At this time, Zhou Yuhai happened to get off the car too, and said with a smile, "Not only Xiao Zhu wants to watch it, but I also want to watch TV. Today is the start of our last play!" After finishing speaking, he smiled and said, "Xiao Zhu, I Let the assistant go shopping, you come to my room, let's watch together."

Zhu Qiang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Teacher Zhou."

Someone next to him was puzzled and asked, "Xiao Zhu, the film you made before? What's the name?"

Zhu Qiang replied, "It's called "Legend of the New White Snake."

Many people around said "oh", and someone laughed and said, "The leader is the director!"

During the conversation, many people laughed. Although no one said anything, anyone with a discerning eye could understand at a glance: Although they had heard of this TV series a long time ago, it seemed that no one really took this TV series seriously.

It's just that everyone has made it clear that both Zhou Yuhai and Zhu Qiang have roles in this play, so naturally no one will make this meaning too obvious. At this time, the assistant director even smiled and said: "Then Teacher Zhou, Xiao Zhu, I wish you a great success in this drama!"

When everyone heard the words, they all laughed and followed with blessings.

Zhou Yuhai is a veteran of many years, joking with everyone, and then pulled Zhu Qiang into the elevator of the hotel.

We went to Zhou Yuhai's room together. Before opening the door, Zhou Yuhai looked at his watch and muttered, "It's eight o'clock, I guess it's a little late." But when he entered the door and turned on the TV to find Hunan Satellite TV, the prelude to the beginning was not over yet.

Zhou Yuhai asked Zhu Qiang to sit first, while he took a change of clothes and prepared to take a bath, but before he could go to the bathroom, the prologue was over.

Zhu Qiang was still feeling emotional, "The opening song is said to be sung by Liao Liao, it's really nice!"

Zhou Yuhai laughed and replied "Yes", then his eyes subconsciously fell on the TV screen, and the movements of his hands stopped suddenly.

A giant white python was cruising back and forth among the green mountains and clear waters. The picture was handled very beautifully. The giant python that looked extremely thick also looked vivid, not fake at all.

Although the TV in this hotel room is a relatively old 21-inch color TV with a particularly big butt, it has to be said that although the signal broadcasting stage and the TV’s resolution ability greatly limit the vividness of the TV picture degree, but the difference in the definition of the film source is finally transmitted to the TV sets of thousands of households, and that difference still exists.

What's more, for a TV series with such exquisite pictures as "Legend of the New White Snake", this difference is even obvious.

At least for Zhu Qiang and Zhou Yuhai, at first glance, they felt that the picture was so clear and beautiful.

Zhu Qiang and Li Qian are classmates. After filming, they also drank and played basketball together several times, so the news came much better than Zhou Yuhai who was far away in Songjiang Mansion. It cost millions of dollars for the special effects! The effect is really different, so beautiful!"

Zhou Yuhai nodded when he heard the words, but he was not in a hurry to take a bath, and wanted to read this passage first.

Feelings are about the same from person to person.

The vast majority of ordinary viewers are not as sensitive as professional actors and professional film and television practitioners, but they may not notice it for a while, but in their subconscious mind, they feel like "the picture of this TV series is so beautiful", But it is sure that everyone will have it.

Therefore, at this moment, when Zhou Yuhai and Zhu Qiang were amazed by the scene at the beginning, almost everyone who was watching the first episode of "Legend of the New White Snake" couldn't help but feel a kind of excitement in their eyes. Feel.

…………

A snake demon who has cultivated for thousands of years meanders and flies among the green mountains and clear waters. After that, its body obviously begins to flash with a bright white light. Finally, its strength has reached a certain level, attracting a catastrophe. .

At this moment, the audience who were sitting in front of the TV and watching this TV series saw a scene that surprised them with their own eyes—almost only a few breaths of time, the sky that was originally cloudless and sunny was already The dark clouds merged, Er, a thick lightning suddenly split from the dark clouds, like a giant hand outstretched!

The snake demon deftly dodged, and with a click, a mountain was split in half by lightning!

On the screen, landslides and rocks crack!

If it’s just like this, it’s actually not surprising. After all, you have seen many similar scenes in some mythological dramas before, but the problem is that the lightning in this TV series is so realistic! It's completely different from the previous TV dramas where a bright white lightning strikes down, and at the same time it has the later dubbing of thunder and lightning!

It looks as though every bright sparkle of that stout lightning is in sight!

Delicate, real, frightening soul!

And, it's not over yet!

As the lightning kept chasing the snake monster and splitting the green mountains and green waters into a mess, the snake monster finally stopped avoiding it, so it stood upright and let the thunderbolt directly hit itself !

A flash of lightning flashed across the body of the white snake, as if it had been burnt, and it was red all over. But soon, as the redness faded, the body of the snake demon returned to white. She shook her head and looked at the camera. Everything, every audience can see, its flesh and blood seem to be churning, giving people the feeling that its body is about to explode!

Then, the next lightning bolt has come again!

Every bolt of lightning, the bright and dazzling sparks in every bolt of lightning, as well as every twist and every change of the white snake's body, are presented on the screen so clearly that it is difficult to tell the real from the fake!

Compared with the top special effects technology in the world today, these pictures are definitely not brilliant, but in China, especially on the screen of TV dramas, this kind of special effects technology is definitely the first time that domestic audiences have seen it!

Its shock can be imagined!

Click! Click!

The lightning kept hitting the white snake. Its whole body was already red, and the blood in its body was surging. People off-screen couldn't help but subconsciously worry about this snake!

Then, the white snake suddenly raised its power, and flew across the mountain at a speed that was many times faster than before!

Overcast clouds, lightning and thunder!

The lightning became thicker and thicker, chasing closely behind the white snake, thunder after thunder struck, hitting the tail of the white snake from time to time, and every time at this time, the white snake would always twitch!

To be honest, the part of the White Snake Crossing the Tribulation is not the key point for this TV series, and in the original version in Li Qian's mind, due to the limitations of the times and technology, the producer's production of this part is also very sloppy . But now, when this TV series was born from Li Qian's hands, its last shortcoming has been seriously made up for!

It is not easy for the white snake to cultivate human form!

When the lightning strikes, the white snake is about to be defeated, and once defeated, for it that has already triggered the thunder calamity, the only way to go is to shatter its flesh and blood!

However, thousands of years of arduous cultivation have already given this white snake the confidence to fight against the thunder calamity!

So, seeing that dodging was not an option, the audience in front of the TV couldn't help being shocked by the thunder disaster that was so real in front of them, and couldn't help worrying about such a white snake, it finally came back again. stop.

It perched on a high and protruding mountain peak, raised its head, and opened its bloody mouth!

The lightning struck again, but this time, the white snake opened its mouth and spit out the Yuan Dan that he had cultivated for thousands of years!

Click!

Sparks splash!

In front of the TV, the audience stared wide-eyed at the scene on the TV.

With a huge snake pill as the center, on one side is bright and dazzling lightning with winding sparks, and on the other side is a beam of light exuding lustrous light spit out from the mouth of the white snake.

On the snake pill, fireworks burst into flames.

However, as time went by, the snake pill became brighter and brighter! Also getting bigger and bigger!

Finally, the originally powerful lightning gradually weakened, the pillar of thunder became thinner and thinner, and the sparks shining in it became weaker and weaker. The next moment, the lightning faded away.

In the midair, there were still thunders one after another, and behind the dark clouds, bright lightning flashed from time to time.

However, no lightning struck again.

The white snake slowly took back its own snake pill, then jumped down from the peak, and swam freely in the mountains again.

But this time, even people who have never seen a snake before can see at a glance how light and cheerful its movements are!

…………

In the hotel room, Zhou Yuhai couldn't help shaking his head, sighed and praised, "It's really beautiful! It's just like the real thing!"

Zhu Qiang smiled and said, "Then it's time to transform, right?"

Zhou Yuhai nodded with a smile, "Probably so! Based on this scene and the moment she transformed, I guess there are many boys your age in front of the TV who will fall in love with the white lady immediately!"

Zhu Qiang smiled, then suddenly stretched out his hand and said a little excitedly: "Look, it's transformed!"
