Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 120, I bear the hardship and you enjoy the happiness?

"Shen Lang, look this way!"

"This is Shen Lang!"

"Another pose!"

As soon as the male lead Shen Lang appeared, he was immediately surrounded by many media reporters, and the flash lights kept flashing.

In comparison, the fans who were quietly waiting for their idols seemed much more orderly.

While Shen Lang was being photographed, he did not forget to wave and smile at them.

The tacit understanding and intimacy were all there, which deeply moved the fans.

After dealing with the reporters, Shen Lang went over to get their autographs and take photos with them.

Once again refreshed the good impression and good image.

On the other side, the female protagonists have already started interviewing.

In addition to Gao Yuanyuan and Alyssa Chia, those present today;

There is also Chen Xiuli who plays Xiao Zhao, Lin Zihan who plays Zhu'er, Guo Lifei who plays Yin Susu, and Xiao Taohong who plays Ji Xiaofu;

As well as Yan Danchen who plays the woman in yellow, Chen Jing who plays Ding Minjun, Bao Yilin who plays Yang Buhui, and Tian Li who plays the purple-shirted Dragon King.

It can be said that there are so many beautiful women.

The yellow-shirted woman in the original time and space version was actually quite good, but since Shen Lang couldn't remember the actress' name and had no way of finding her, he invited Yan Danchen to make a cameo appearance.

Bright and lively eyes, and a youthful and charming smile, this is how Gao Yuanyuan looks when facing the camera.

"When I first read the original novel, I liked Zhao Min very much. Her infatuation, her love, and her truthfulness all touched me deeply."

Gao Yuanyuan did a lot of preparation before filming began, including reading the original novel, watching other versions of the TV series, and reading the script. When faced with questions from reporters, she responded with ease: "Although the previous versions had the same story, the filming techniques and the actors' interpretations were different, so the style was also different. I am under a lot of pressure, and everyone will definitely compare us, but I will do my best and just hope that I won't be criticized too badly."

Alyssa Chia on the side seems more lively.

"When I watched the TV series before, I didn't like her. I thought she was too scheming, gave people a gloomy feeling, and did a lot of bad things."

Talking about her role Zhou Zhiruo, Alyssa Chia said: "After receiving this role, I started to try to understand her and found that she is actually quite pitiful. I hope to play out the bitterness of her fate in my own way. As for whether I can surpass my predecessors, I don't dare to think about it at all."

When it was Shen Lang's turn, he was the one who was questioned by reporters for the longest time. During the whole process, he kept talking freely and tirelessly.

"Zhang Wuji is just an ordinary person who suddenly possesses powerful martial arts skills. His kindness, tolerance, and indecision doom him to be disliked by most people."

After asking about the roles, one of the gossip reporters raised his hand and asked, "There are so many beautiful actresses here today, and Zhang Wuji also plays opposite many beautiful female characters, so which actress are you most looking forward to working with?"

Shen Lang said calmly: "You asked the wrong person this question. Since I am Zhang Wuji, it must be difficult for me to choose when facing them."

The gossip reporter then asked: "What type of girls do you like in life?"

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "You all wrote me as a playboy. Doesn't that mean I like all types of girls?"

When the gossip reporter heard this answer, the corners of his mouth twitched. He didn't get any information and was even criticized.

At the same time, the flash also focused on "China's first generation male model" Hu Bin, who was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and long legs, regular facial features and a strong outline. He was the only one among all the actors who posed any threat to Shen Lang.

The press conference lasted for two hours and ended with a group photo.

After lunch, the main creative team took a minibus to Huairou Film and Television Base for the opening ceremony.

The only filming location outside of Yanjing in this version was the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, in the first scene at the beginning of the first episode.

The rest were either scenes built at the Huairou Film and Television Base, or exterior scenes at the Tantuo Temple, the Ming Tombs Reservoir, and the suburbs near and far of Yanjing. There was no on-site filming at Wudang Mountain, Taohua Island, Wuyi Mountain, etc. like the Zhang Jizhong version.

One is to compress the shooting budget, and the other is to speed up the shooting efficiency.

A budget of 2000 million may seem like a lot, but after deducting the actors' salaries, costumes, and props, it won't last long. After the press conference, the opening ceremony was kept simple.

It must look done.

Shen Lang didn't believe in any of this, but the entertainment industry seemed to be a place that believed in metaphysics very much. For example, there was an incense burning ceremony before filming began, and the film release date had to be set on an auspicious day. They even wanted to take the zodiac and Tarot cards into account, and come up with a set of metaphysical combinations, just to get a good omen.

After the process was completed, the actors put on makeup, changed into costumes and started filming.

This time, the same method as "Love Across Time and Space" was adopted, with two groups shooting simultaneously.

Director Lai Shui-ching leads a large crew and focuses on shooting literary dramas.

Martial arts instructor Yang Junyi leads the team and is responsible for the fighting scenes.

We filmed from the afternoon until the early morning.

On the first day, perhaps everyone had not yet entered the working state, there were many NGs and the progress was slow.

The next day, Shen Lang left the group and went to Hong Kong to record "Lu Yu You Yue" on Phoenix TV.

There were no scenes scheduled for him in the first few days.

In the original version, Su Youpeng played the two roles of Zhang Cuishan and Zhang Wuji. It might be because he was very popular at the time, so giving him more screen time was used as a means to increase ratings.

In the version starring Shen Lang, he did not play Zhang Cuishan, but gave the role to Zhang Songwen instead.

As for the program "Lu Yu You Yue".

The most interesting point is that the guests really talk a lot, which is also the biggest advantage of Luyu Interview.

In some talk shows, celebrities are very reserved or nervous.

When facing Lu Yu, at least the interviewees were natural and relaxed, and willing to show more sides of themselves. Other hosts might have better conversation skills, but the interviewees might not be willing or able to dig out newer and deeper things.

However, some of Luyu's questions and remarks were indeed rather brainless and embarrassing, making people laugh.

Shen Lang had met her before at the Olympic bid venue. The most difficult problem he encountered on the show was the scandal.

But he has dealt with many media reporters and can handle them with ease.

When I returned to the crew, I happened to meet Shi Xiaolong joining the crew.

He will play the young Zhang Wuji.

At the age of 14, he lacks some of the cuteness he had in "Abbot's Courtyard" and "Young Justice Bao".

"Hello, Brother Lang."

"Hello, I grew up watching your plays."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaolong scratched his bald head and said, "Ah?"

Shen Lang was amused by his cute appearance. He reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "When you were filming 'Tornado Boy', I was only in high school. I grew up watching your dramas."

Shi Xiaolong chuckled. He debuted very early, filming at the age of 6. He said, "That seems to be true."

He has quite a few scenes this time.

Starting from the Arctic Ice and Fire Island, the young Zhang Wuji learned literacy from Yin Susu, learned Wudang mental skills from Zhang Cuishan, and learned martial arts from Xie Xun. After leaving the Ice and Fire Island, he was cured of the cold poison of the Xuanming Divine Palm in Wudang Mountain. He went to Shaolin to ask for the Nine Yang Divine Art to cure his illness but was rejected. He went to Butterfly Valley to learn medicine from the medical immortal Hu Qingniu. He sent Yang Buhui to Kunlun Mountain and fell into a shocking trap. He jumped off a cliff but did not die and entered the Kunlun Mountain Valley. He lived alone in the valley for 5 years and practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art.

At this point, Shen Lang’s young version of Zhang Wuji appears on the scene, beginning the protagonist’s life of picking up girls.

Eh, that doesn't seem right.

Shi Xiaolong: I bear the hardship and you enjoy the happiness?
Shen Lang: Young Master, monks are free from all worries and their six senses are pure. Why bother about so many things?
