Chapter 201 The frightened Wang Likun! (Please subscribe!)

Back at the hotel, Lin Xuan had just finished taking a shower when there was a knock on the door.

"How did you come?"

After opening the door, Qin Lan changed into a pair of milky white silk pajamas and stood timidly at the door.

"I can't sleep and want to talk to you."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan suddenly felt a little dizzy.

to chat with!

Saying this, do you believe it yourself?

When filming a martial arts scene at night, Lin Xuan had to hold Qin Lan.

Because the movement range is large and the time is long.

When Lin Xuan heard Qin Lan's breathing, he knew she couldn't control it anymore.

If you are not filming, of course Lin Xuan is welcome to visit.

But Qin Lan will have a rest tomorrow and it will be fine if he sleeps all day. He has a movie to shoot tomorrow.

"Chat...come in."

Although somewhat reluctant, Lin Xuan still let her in.

This was the first time Qin Lan knocked on his door after joining the group, so it would be a bit uncomfortable to refuse him directly.

"Wow...your room is so big!"

Qin Lan walked around the room with a very envious expression.

Although she is the female lead in this drama, her debut time is too short and her role is too small.

Therefore, the crew only arranged a business room for her, with an area of ​​about [-] square meters.

Lin Xuan's executive suite is more than twice the size of hers.

There are not only bedrooms and bathrooms, but also living rooms, kitchens, balconies and other areas.

Lin Xuan poured a glass of water and sat next to her:

"I'm busy filming every day and fall asleep when I come back. Whether the room is big or not, it doesn't make any difference to me."

This is too Versailles.

Qin Lan got into his arms and hummed a few times, not believing his nonsense at all.

The treatment of ordinary actors is completely different from that of big-name actors.

Take the most basic part of catering.

Extras eat box lunches, and ordinary actors do the same, but there are just a few more dishes and a few more pieces of meat.

Lin Xuan was different. The crew hired a private chef for him.

The meat, vegetables and fruits we eat every day are all bought from imported supermarkets in the provincial capital, and we have to go back and forth to purchase them every day.

Qin Lan had a few meals with him on the set and praised the chef's skills so much that he almost died of envy.

This was not because Lin Xuan was deliberately trying to be a big star. In fact, he himself didn't mind eating box lunches, but Qian Ze and Wang Jinhua strongly opposed it.

As a top star in domestic entertainment, strict control of diet is a must-do obligation.

The meals he eats every day are recipes customized for him by a nutritionist.

Low-fat, low-salt and low-sugar, balanced nutritional intake to prevent "glycation face".

When he was resting in the morning and evening, he had to apply several layers of skin care products on his face to control oil and moisturize.

Even when sleeping at night, you must breathe through your nose, not your mouth.

The purpose of doing all this is to delay skin aging and keep his appearance at its peak for a longer period of time.

Lin Xuan is in charge of the system, so he doesn't need to go to such trouble at all.

But this was his biggest secret, and he couldn't tell others, so he could only passively accept their kindness.

…………

The next morning, Lin Xuan got up on time at six o'clock.

"Ah~~~"

He yawned, a tired look on his face.

He is not afraid of stepping on the accelerator while driving, but he is afraid of lack of sleep and lack of energy when he wakes up early.

Turning his head to look over, Qin Lan was sleeping soundly.

She felt comfortable being served last night and could sleep in again today.

Lin Xuan also had to get up on time to film.

Your sister, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Lin Xuan was mentally unbalanced and reached out to shake her awake.

"What's wrong?" Qin Lan looked sleepy.

"The posture is wrong, get up and go back to sleep!"

"I￥#%￥you*&..."

"Hahaha……"

Lin Xuan laughed and ran to wash up, eat briefly and then rushed to the set.

…………

In the morning, there was an outdoor martial arts scene.

Li Yuan's family resigned and returned to their fiefdom. They were ambushed by killers sent by Yang Guang on the way. Fortunately, Qin Shubao passed by and rescued them.

In the original TV series, it was Yang Guang who ambushed Li Yuan with Yuwen Chengdu.

This plot is obviously unreasonable.

As the prince, how could Yang Guang leave Chang'an without permission?

Besides, Yang Jian is old, and he might die one day.

For the sake of his ninth position, he must stay in the Prince's East Palace all the time.

Besides, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The battlefield is so dangerous that Yang Guang would never risk his life.

After Lin Xuan made the changes, the identities of this group of people were changed to dead soldiers raised by Yang Guang.

Qin Shubao repels the killer and saves Li Yuan's wife and children.

But later, because of panic, he accidentally shot Shan Dao, the owner of Erxian Village, and thus took over the deadly feud with Shan Xiongxin.

This scene is mainly a martial arts scene between Lin Xuan and the man in black.

The crew hired a professional martial arts master to shoot the scene in more than two hours.

Everyone moved to the film and television city.

While the crew was busy setting up the scene, Lin Xuan was ready to take a good rest.

As a result, not long after I lay down, there was a knock on the door of the lounge again.

"Um...Director Lin, I'm sorry...I want to play with you..."

Wang Likun stood outside the door with the script in hand, looking very embarrassed and unable to speak even if she was nervous.

Don't blame her for being timid. Most newcomers in the entertainment industry have this attitude of respect and fear when they meet Lin Xuan.

She has no background in the dance industry and was originally an ordinary student at Beijing Dance Academy.

At first, she accompanied her friend to the audition for the film, but she didn't expect that it was pie in the sky that her friend was not selected, but she was actually selected.

On the day she received the phone call from the crew, Wang Likun was so happy that she went crazy. Everything in front of her felt unreal.

It wasn't until I signed the actor's contract that my restless heart gradually stabilized.

Wang Likun cherishes this hard-won opportunity.

After getting the script, I started to read it, write character biographies, and memorize lines, which was more serious than reviewing for the college entrance examination.

After joining the group, she worked harder. Whether it was practicing horse riding or martial arts routines, she was extremely serious and practiced harder.

I am deeply afraid that if my performance is not good, I will be replaced by the director temporarily.

This is no joke, the casting director told them when they signed the contract.

After so many days of preparation, it was finally time to accept the results.

According to the crew's practice, before the official filming, the actors need to find their respective co-stars to play with and get in shape.

But her opponent actor was Lin Xuan. Seeing his sleepy look, Wang Likun really didn't dare to disturb him.

But I was afraid that because I didn’t have a role to play with, I would make mistakes during the actual filming.

After struggling for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door of the lounge.

I heard that Lin Xuan is very dedicated when filming, so he probably won't be angry.

"It's a show."

Lin Xuan sighed and said, "Come in first and wait for me to wash your face."

"alright, no worries……"

Seeing that Lin Xuan was not angry, Wang Likun breathed a long sigh of relief and walked into the lounge.

Several leading actors have separate lounges, while other actors can only share one. Lin Xuan finished washing his face and grabbed a bottle of drink.

"Thank you."

Wang Likun quickly stood up and took it, as if he had received some reward.

"Don't be nervous. The more nervous you are, the worse your performance will be. Just treat me as an ordinary actor." Lin Xuan comforted him with a few words.

"OK, all right……"

This is easier said than done.

The first thing you need to do when filming is to review the lines you will say later in the script, using the tone you used during filming.

Wang Likun has already memorized her lines by heart. Although her emotions are still a bit unclear, her lines are every word good.

"Awesome, every word is correct." Lin Xuan couldn't help but praise a few times.

Memorizing lines is not difficult, but it takes a lot of time and energy.

Not to mention today's young actors, even veteran actors who have been famous for many years are sometimes reluctant to memorize them. They always take the script to the set to shoot and memorize it.

Wang Likun can memorize the lines word for word well, which shows that her attitude towards this drama is okay.

"Thank you, it's all I should do."

Wang Likun was very happy and relaxed after receiving Lin Xuan's praise.

After the scene, Wang Likun noticed that Lin Xuan was a little sleepy, so she quickly got up and left without taking the opportunity to chat and get close.

"Yeah... sensible."

Lin Xuan lay down on the sofa and praised with a smile.

…………

At two o'clock in the afternoon, shooting started on time.

In order to save Li Rongrong, Qin Shubao got into a fight and broke the tables, chairs and benches in the inn.

Because he was short of money and unable to compensate, he was kicked out of the house by the shop owner.

After being rained all night, Qin Shubao caught a cold and was forced to perform on the street again the next day.

Because he was weak due to a cold, his steps were sloppy when he danced, and he was ridiculed by Shan Bingbing who was passing by.

The two bickered for a while and proposed a martial arts competition, and whoever lost would have to kneel down and kowtow to become their master.

This scene is also a martial arts scene, and it was quite difficult to shoot.

Wang Likun needs to use his full strength, and Lin Xuan needs to be relaxed and carefree, so as to show the gap between the two.

Not many actresses are good at acting, and even fewer have specialized in martial arts.

However, Wang Likun has a background in dance and has an advantage over ordinary actresses in learning martial arts moves.

Qin Shubao faced the enemy with one hand and played with Shan Bingbing in the palm of his hand.

Finally, he gave her a little lesson and threw her into the bun shop, causing her face to be covered with flour.

"Ka! This one has passed, transition!"

The two worked very well together in the martial arts scene, and the scene was filmed in less than two hours.

"This is your first scene as an actor. You performed really well."

Lin Xuan handed over the towel and praised him a few times.

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Wang Likun wiped her face with a towel, her face turned red with excitement.

The first filming of the actor's career went smoothly and he was praised by the big guys in the industry. This starting point is already higher than that of most actors.

During the break, Lin Xuan chatted with her casually for a few words, and then switched to filming the scene in Erxian Village.

Qin Shubao didn't make any money, so he had to sell the divine horse under his crotch.

But the owners were hungry, and the horses were fattened, so every bid was extremely low.

Someone saw him carrying a weapon and recommended him to give it a try at Erxian Village.

Qin Shubao came to Erxian Village and met Shan Xiongxin and Shan Bingbing.

He thought he was entering a den of thieves, but he didn't expect Shan Xiongxin to be very polite to him.

Not only did he give him a silver tael, but he also asked Shan Bingbing to kowtow to him, apologize, and worship him as his teacher.

Before leaving, the good disciple stuffed a lot of silver into his bag as travel expenses.

As a result, the money was not cleaned, and the silver ingots were still stamped with the government's mark, so Qin Shubao was arrested.

After the mediation of Erxianzhuang, the sentence was changed and he was sent to Jizhou to be exiled.

…………

Shooting continued the next day.

More than ten days after joining the cast, it was finally Huang Xiaoming's turn.

He put on makeup and Luo Cheng's armor, but the stylist thought he was short and didn't look impressive in the armor, so he added three layers of booster pads.

On the way to Jizhou, Qin Shubao met the cold-faced Qiao Luocheng.

When the cousins ​​met for the first time, Luo Cheng showed off his martial arts skills and looked cool.

That's why the stylist gave him a booster.

If not, Huang Xiaoming would be half a head shorter than Lin Xuan and would not be handsome at all.

After some twists and turns, the aunt and nephew finally recognized each other, and Qin Shubao now had a cousin who was highly skilled in martial arts.

One day, Luo Cheng and Qin Shubao were in the back garden, teaching each other marksmanship and mace techniques.

The two of them swore an oath to each other to show that they had given everything to each other and had nothing to hide.

But Qin Shubao concealed his trump card from Luo Cheng and eventually died of vomiting blood.

Luo Cheng did not teach Qin Shubao the carbine, and eventually died after being pierced by thousands of arrows.

Qin Shubao worked under Luo Yi. One day Shan Bingbing came to play with him, and Luo Cheng fell in love with her at first sight.

However, Qin Shubao only regarded her as his sister and spent all day training his subordinates in the army.

On the contrary, Luo Cheng was enthusiastic about her and often took her out for walks and horseback riding.

It's a pity that Luo Cheng's mother didn't like this crazy girl, so she not only drove Shan Bingbing away, but also transferred Qin Shubao back to his hometown.

…………

In mid-March, the filming of the Jizhou scene was finally completed.

The crew finished work that night, and as soon as Lin Xuan returned to the hotel, he received a call from director Xu Jinliang.

After months of post-production, the TV series "The Storm" is finally about to be aired.

Lin Xuan was quite happy to hear the news, because this is another big hit drama.

It's a pity that this premiere time is relatively early. If it premieres at the end of the year, it will not be able to compete with the Spring Festival Gala in ratings.

In the original time and space, on New Year's Eve in 03, a certain TV station in Shanghai was broadcasting the finale of "The Storm".

As a result, the ratings reached an incredible 18%, beating the CCTV Spring Festival Gala's 16%, and won the ratings championship during this time period.

Hence the legend that the ratings of "The Storm" surpassed that of the Spring Festival Gala.

Late last year, post-production on the show was completed.

Huayi and Wanwan Pomoxianren held movie viewing parties in two places, attracting many TV stations to participate.

Lin Xuan's popularity in the mainland is undoubted, and he has a proper dominance level.

After attending the screening, the film purchasing department of the TV station was full of praise for the wonderful plot of this drama.

Therefore, Huayi sold the first broadcast rights to four companies in the mainland without any effort.

Other TV series are sold to four TV stations because only four TV stations bid.

"The Storm" sold four TV stations because the upper limit in the first round was only four.

These four TV stations all obtained the first broadcast rights through bidding.

The price of an episode is 20 yuan, a drama is 3200 million yuan, and four TV stations are [-] million yuan.

By relying solely on the first-run broadcast rights, the producers made back their investment in the show, and the rest was profits.

Lin Xuan's dramas don't have to worry about selling in the market, it's a complete seller's market.

The original work of "Wind and Cloud" is a Hong Kong comic, which is extremely popular in the local area.

Therefore, in addition to Wanwan TV station, Pomoxianren also sold the first broadcast rights to a Hong Kong TV station.

In other words, on a certain day in early April, "The Storm" will be broadcast on a total of six TV stations in three places across the Taiwan Strait.

Looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry, only Lin Xuan has such a big name.

Xu Jinliang called because he wanted to invite Lin Xuan to Wanwan to cooperate with the promotion.

But Lin Xuan's filming task was too heavy and the procedure to go to Wanwan was cumbersome, so he had to decline his request.

Xu Jinliang just mentioned it and didn't insist much.

It's normal for Lin Xuan to be busy at work. It would be weird if he wasn't busy.

Moreover, he can avoid the indirect propaganda, but he certainly cannot avoid the propaganda from the mainland.
