I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 191 Colorful Blind Box
Zhou Dingran pondered for a moment. He had a pretty good impression of both Lu Tao and Wang Sheng. Now that Wang Sheng had to choose one of them, Zhou Dingran still preferred Lu Tao's suggestion. After all, commercial films have to be sold for money!

He is not worried about offending Wang Sheng. If it doesn't work, he will just not cooperate next time.

There are many system scripts for him to choose from. If that doesn't work, he can direct it himself, but the favorability points it will cost are undoubtedly a sky-high price. Therefore, at this stage, Zhou Dingran has no idea of ​​​​acting and directing.

Dangjie replied: "First of all, I personally think that "Sword and Fairy" is a fairy tale drama. For the costumes and styles, you can refer to history, but you don't have to copy history. The character styles should be in line with contemporary aesthetics, so I agree with Director Lu's suggestion. "

When Lu Tao heard this, he was immediately moved, but he didn't want to see the actor arguing with the director, so he quickly said: "Everything should be based on Director Wang's suggestion."

Wang Sheng looked at Zhou Dingran and then at Lu Tao. After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded and said: "A good film and television work should take into account the screenwriter's ideas. Since Xiao Zhou said so, then follow Director Lu's suggestion." Do."

Lu Tao didn't expect Zhou Dingran's words to be so effective, and he was a little surprised. But Wang Sheng could adopt his suggestion, which made him quite happy.

Lu Tao immediately called the props team and started tailoring some costumes for the characters in the play.

On the first day of arriving in Hengdian, Zhou Dingran and some other main actors tried out makeup, hair and styling. Against the backdrop of the antique studio environment, these people seemed to be men and women who had stepped out of ancient times, which made people look at them.

Especially Zhou Dingran's makeup, hair and styling amazed all the staff as soon as he appeared on the stage.

Lu Tao couldn't help but laugh: "I wouldn't watch the role of Li Xiaoyao if it wasn't for you!"

Wang Sheng also praised: "It's indeed good. Having said that, when you wrote this script, Xiao Zhou, didn't you design the character Li Xiaoyao based on yourself?"

Zhou Dingran smiled and said: "You can think so!"

As soon as "Fairy Sword" came out in his previous life, the character Li Xiaoyao became popular all over the country. That year, various theme songs of "Fairy Sword", such as "Slaying the Wolf", "June Rain", "Xiaoyao Sigh", "Always" Very Quiet" and so on, became popular in the streets and alleys across the country.

Hu Ge and Liu Yifei also became the first-line actors at that time. Their net worths skyrocketed and they were regarded as targets for countless young actors and actresses to catch up with.

Now that he has the opportunity to play Li Xiaoyao, Zhou Dingran can't help but directly upgrade his master-level acting skills to perfect-level acting skills. He just wants to become famous with this role this time.

But it is worth mentioning that the popularity of "Fairy Sword" in the previous life was based on the existence of a large number of game fans. Of course, it was the work that really made "Fairy Sword" stay popular and be hailed as the first Xianxia drama. The quality is hard enough.

"Daji, how many favorability points do you need to upgrade your perfect acting skills?"

Returning to the temporary awning built by the crew, as soon as he sat down, Zhou Dingran said something silently in his heart.

Soon, Daji's answer rang in her mind: "Master, you now have 600 million favorability points, and you need 400 million more to upgrade to perfect favorability points."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system virtual panel appeared in front of Zhou Dingran.

[Host: Zhou Dingran]

【Age: 19】

[Occupation: Actor, Singer]

【Favourability value: 64004615】

【Love value: 3246544】

[Worship value: 924222]

[Blind Box of Works: 2 (Music)]

[Skill blind box: 0]

[Skill: Acting (Master Level)

Singing Skills (Master Level)

Composition (Master Level)

Writing (Master Level)

Language Expression (Master Level)]

Zhou Dingran looked at the virtual panel and fell into thinking.

It has been a month since the last time I exchanged for master-level writing ability and master-level composing ability. The favorability value has doubled during this time, but there is still a long way to go before I can exchange for any perfect level ability. some gaps.

Although adoration and adoration points can also be used to exchange skills, firstly, it is difficult to obtain these two values, and secondly, they cannot be combined with the favorability points. Otherwise, Zhou Dingran will spend all the favorability points, adoration points, and adoration points. It's enough to exchange for a perfect level ability.

"A long way to go."

"Probably after "The King of Masked Singer" is revealed, we will be able to collect [-] million favorability points, which can then be directly redeemed for perfect singing or acting skills."

"Nowadays, master-level acting is enough for a "Sword" movie."

As soon as he thought about it, Zhou Dingran suppressed the urge to redeem his perfect acting skills.

Taking advantage of this free time, he began to consume the two blind boxes of works he had obtained previously.

These two blind boxes are blind boxes for music works. They are the two remaining blind boxes from Zhou Dingran’s previous lottery draw. Since the system upgrade and the mall redemption system, Zhou Dingran rarely consumes favorability points in the system for lottery draws. .

Compared with the erratic lottery rate, Zhou Dingran would rather accumulate more favorability points and then redeem the desired works and skills directly in the mall.

"Master, you still have two work blind boxes (music category) to be opened. Do you want to open them?"

"Turn on."

As Zhou Dingran's thoughts flashed, soon, the blind box of his first work burst out with milky white light.

As soon as he saw this milky white light, Zhou Dingran knew that the quality of this song was not high, and the price of the song was basically within 100 million.

Sure enough, when the milky white light dissipated, the prompt from Daji also appeared.

"Congratulations, master, for winning the musical work "Drowning"!"

Looking at the title, lyrics and music of this song, Zhou Dingran was a little confused.

Sure enough, we can't place our hopes on the system. For example, the two songs that were first extracted, "Three Worships in the Red Dust" and "Under the Moon", Zhou Dingran had never heard of them even in his previous life, but after releasing them in the name of Wenzhao Gong, now They are also considered to be the two least popular songs in Wenzhaogong's list of works.

But even so, "Three Bows to the Red Dust" and "Under the Moon" are two popular songs in recent times, and they are also the works that other singers dream of.

And now, another song appeared that Zhou Dingran had never heard of.

No wonder it’s a milky white light!

Zhou Dingran shook his head, glanced at the lyrics and music casually, and then his eyes couldn't move.

The lyrics are very simple, just a few words that go back and forth, and the meaning is not even clear.

But there is something special about the composition of this song. Zhou Dingran tried to hum a few lines of the chorus, but the result was that the more he hummed, the more he became confused.

"So funny Ya i ya i ya i ya i ya i ya i ya..."

Zhou Dingran found it interesting.

"It's okay. It feels like it should be a song that can shine on Douyin. It just so happens that Douyin hasn't released serious works for a long time. The response to "囍" last time was pretty good. Although it is niche, it is still popular. Loved by a small crowd, this song "Drowning" has simple lyrics and music, so I can release it with a little arrangement in the past two days."

While he was thinking this, an idea occurred to him and he opened the second blind box of musical works.However, perhaps the quality of the blind box of the previous work was not up to standard. The blind box of this second work erupted into bursts of flashing colorful light as soon as it was opened.

Zhou Dingran was shocked all over.

You know, the last time a brilliant colorful blind box burst out, the song it got was "Lanting Preface"!
"Could it be "Blue and White Porcelain"?"

Zhou Dingran was so excited that he stared at the colorful blind box without blinking.

Soon, the light dissipated.

Daji's voice appeared in my mind.

[You randomly opened a colorful blind box...]

[Congratulations to the owner, you got the song "Legend"! 】

When the word "Legend" appeared in front of his eyes, followed by dense lyrics and music scores, Zhou Dingran was stunned for a moment.

Because this song...he can sing it!

It is one of the few songs that he can sing. Although it is not complete, it can definitely be restored to its original state. When the time comes, buy it directly from the system at a low price. Isn't it delicious?
Zhou Dingran was extremely regretful, but the smile on his lips was spreading rapidly.

I still remember that when I heard Faye Wong singing "Legend" for the first time during the CCTV Spring Festival Gala live broadcast, he could only describe it as "kneeling with my mouth open".

After all these years, the song that seemed to come from the horizon can still come to mind whenever I think about it.

"In terms of quality, it is indeed a song comparable to "Lanting Preface"."

Zhou Dingran was very happy that he procured a song with tens of millions of favorability points for nothing. At this moment, he wished he could publish the song immediately and earn likeness points like crazy.

But he still resisted the urge.

""Drowning" can be released on Douyin, and "Legend" can be used as the next entry for "The King of Masked Singer"."

Zhou Dingran made a decision.

Although slow songs are indeed not suitable for the competitive stage, if they are sung well, they can make people feel shocked and amazed from the bottom of their hearts.

And there is no doubt that "Legend" is such a song.

But after he hummed a few lines of "Legend", he suddenly felt a little uninterested because his voice didn't seem to be very suitable for this song.

In comparison, an ethereal singing voice like Faye Wong's is more suitable.

After all, Faye Wong's voice sounds like a nightingale.

But Zhou Dingran's voice has an obvious hoarseness when singing high notes, which sounds a bit heartbreaking, just like the feeling when singing "Chasing Dreams".

And when singing this song "Legend", even with his master-level singing skills, he couldn't achieve the desired effect at all.

"To be determined."

Zhou Dingran hesitated. He felt that maybe he could improve his singing skills to a perfect level so that he could maximize the excellence of this song.

One afternoon, Zhou Dingran and others stayed on the set. It was not until the evening that everyone returned to the hotel one after another after a simple dinner.

When he came back, Tao Chunsheng couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you see the heroine?"

"You mean Hong Shaorong?" Wang Keye was a little itchy: "Yes, why haven't you seen her? Brother Ran, are you familiar with her?"

"Not familiar." Zhou Dingran, still thinking about "Legend", replied without raising his head after hearing this.

But immediately Zhou Dingran's eyes lit up. In terms of the ethereal voice, Hong Shaorong's voice conditions are indeed very similar to Faye Wong. If she were to sing this song "Legend"...

Eh?Doesn’t that mean we are endorsing the enemy?
Zhou Dingran shook his head and suppressed this idea.

The next day, the crew held a press conference for the launch of "Sword and Sword". Wang Sheng and Lu Tao are both famous directors, and they still have some influence in the industry. With a little greeting, twenty or thirty media came to the scene.

In addition, Fang Kaige, general manager of Majin Film and Television, and Mr. Chen Daozhou also arrived at the scene, bringing the crew, directors and investors to edit together.

As the screenwriter and main actor, Zhou Dingran was also invited to the stage, but now he has no qualifications to stand in the C position, and is squeezed into a corner by a group of investors and producers.

Chen Daozhou thought of him, so he passed many people and waved to him: "Zhou Dingran, come here and stand here!"

In full view of everyone, Zhou Dingran walked over with some embarrassment. While taking the scissors handed by the staff, he whispered: "Teacher, is it inappropriate for me to stand here?"

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Chen Daozhou frowned and said: "You are the main creator, not only the leading actor, but also the screenwriter. If you are not suitable to be here, who is?"

Fang Kaige also smiled and said, "If your teacher tells you to stand here, just stand. Don't think too much."

Zhou Dingran shrugged and stopped looking at the strange looks around him. He stood next to Chen Daozhou and, at the command of the staff, picked up the scissors and cut off the red cloth.

For a moment, the entire scene was filled with flashing spotlights and the sound of cameras clicking.

Then, surrounded by a group of people, director Wang Sheng personally lifted the red cloth on the camera, recorded a close-up shot for more than ten seconds on the set, and then turned off the camera.

This is considered booting.

Seek good fortune and everything goes smoothly.

Immediately afterwards is the press conference interview site.

People from the media asked questions to the crew and creative staff. Some of the questions were discussed in advance, so the atmosphere at the scene was spent in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

It is worth mentioning that until now, Hong Shaorong, who plays the heroine Zhao Linger, has not appeared on the scene.

However, on the posters at the press conference, in addition to Chen Daozhou, Zhou Dingran, Chen Kexin and others, there were still Hong Shaorong's costumes, so reporters also knew that this time the crew claimed to have invested over [-] million in "Sword and Fairy" "The Legend", starring Hong Shaorong.

But who is Hong Shaorong?

The strongest newcomer under Tianmang.

There is also a story that has to be told between Tianmang and Zhou Dingran.

Nowadays, Hong Shaorong and Zhou Dingran are co-starring in the same drama. From the perspective of media people, it is obvious that there are some complicated interests.

Therefore, at the end of the press conference, some reporters couldn't help but ask: "Has Tianmang participated in the investment and creation of this drama? Has Zhou Dingran completely reconciled with Tianmang? Hong Shaorong did not appear at the scene. Was it because of work reasons or Did you deliberately not show up?"

Hearing these questions, Wang Sheng and Lu Tao looked helpless.

Zhou Dingran opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Chen Daozhou said: "It's up to me to answer these questions. First, Tianmang did not participate in the investment and creation of this drama."

"Second, the relationship between Tian Mang and Zhou Dingran, at least in this drama, there is no direct connection between the two."

"Thirdly, Hong Shaorong was unable to make it to the press conference due to personal schedules. She has already explained to the crew via video that she did not mean not to show up. Okay, this is the end of my answer. I hope journalists will stop talking about it. Ask questions about things.”
