Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 139 Couple Costume

Wu Zhuo and others gathered in the crowd and watched the filming of "Ten Strange Cases of Injustice" for a while.

After just a short while, Wu Zhuo lost interest.

Dicky Cheung still used the same old performance style, nothing new. He originally watched the show with the attitude of learning, but after watching for a while, he found that he couldn't learn it at all.

In fact, the reason why Dicky Cheung suddenly became out of fashion was because of this.

In addition to the impact of the Xiaobailong incident.

His performance style is also a factor.

His performance is particularly exaggerated. He likes to make funny movements and expressions, and speaks incoherently without any serious style.

This style was particularly popular in the 1980s and 1990s.

But now, audiences prefer to watch performances that are more natural and real, like what happens in real life.

Therefore, it is normal for Jacky Cheung to become out of fashion.

After all, the audience is already tired of his style of performance.

"Let's go! It's time to go back. The director and the others should be back at the hotel by now. If we go back too late, I'm afraid Mr. Cai will be worried."

As Li Qian spoke, she glanced at Liu Shishi deliberately.

"Why are you looking at me?" Liu Shishi didn't understand what he meant and blinked.

"She said that if President Cai saw that you were not in the hotel, he might look for you everywhere!"

Wu Chao explained.

The current top female star of Tangren is Sun Li.

But after Sun Li gave birth to a child for Huang Lei last year, her mind began to move away from film and television.

It feels like going home to take care of my husband and children.

This made Cai Yinong anxious to train a new generation of female leaders for the company.

Judging from the current situation, Liu Shishi is her candidate.

"I'm not a child!"

Liu Shishi muttered something, but still followed Wu Zhuo and Li Qian back.

When Wu Zhuo and others returned to the hotel, Cai Yinong, the director and others had indeed returned.

Several people are having a meeting.

I heard that there was a problem with the props used for filming and they needed to be re-purchased.

These issues have nothing to do with Wu Chao.

He ate something in the hotel restaurant, said hello to Liu Shishi and Li Qian, and then returned to his room.

The next morning, which was the 27th.

After getting up, Wu Chao rushed to the filming location of "Xin Shisi Niang" with several other main actors.

There is a lot of work to do today. In addition to the essential worship of gods before the start of filming, there are also several scenes planned for today.

Wu Zhuo, Liu Shishi and others were relatively late.

When they arrived, the director and other behind-the-scenes staff had been busy for a while, and even the altar for worship was ready.

Although Tang Rencai held a press conference the day before yesterday.

But there were still many reporters gathered outside the shooting site today.

As soon as Wu Chao and his companions got out of the car, reporters surrounded them.

"Wu Zhuo, this should be your first time to be the protagonist, how do you feel?"

"No, this play is a unit drama, and I am just one of the main characters."

Wu Chao emphasized that he was only the protagonist of one of the units.

This drama has four units, and there are four male protagonists. If there are any unexpected events in the ratings, Wu Chao doesn't want to take the blame.

After a pause, Wu Zhuo continued:

"This is not my first time filming a movie. I have acted in "KO One" and "Smiling Pasta" in Taipei before.

"Smiling Pasta" will be officially aired on Hunan Satellite TV on March 3th. If you have the chance, please help promote it."

"Is it the one that topped the ratings in Taiwan last year?" A reporter who was more familiar with Taiwan asked on the spot.

"Yes, 'Smiling Pasta' was indeed the ratings champion in Taiwan last year."

Wu Zhuo replied, pointing at the busy crew members, "I have to go put on my makeup. If you want to talk, there should be a small interview later.

We’ll talk then.”

After Wu Zhuo and others arrived, the director immediately arranged for them to change into costumes and put on makeup. There are four units in "Strange Women from Liaozhai", so there is more than one director.

Li Guoli is the producer and chief director.

The actual directors of the four units are different.

The director of Wu Zhuo's unit is Lin Yufang.

Like Li Guoli, Lin Yufang is from Hong Kong and is the type of person who moved from Hong Kong to the mainland.

However, this is different from Li Guoli who has become a popular director in the television industry with "The Twins", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" and "The Fairy From the Other World".

Lin Yufang is relatively less famous.

Although she debuted early, she directed her first movie in 1993 and has filmed many movies since then when she entered the mainland.

But most of her plays are the kind that many people don’t know if you mention their names.

Of course, Wu Zhuo would definitely not look down on someone or ignore his advice just because he is not famous.

He is always kind to others and he would never do such a thing.

"Mr. Wu is really popular! Many of those reporters outside are here for you!"

Wu Zhuo had just finished putting on makeup and came out. Seeing several main actors sitting together chatting, he walked over.

As soon as he walked in, Deng Liming, who played Xin Shisinian's father, spoke with a smile.

"Teacher Deng, just call me by my name, or Ah Chao!
I'm not used to being called sir."

Wu Zhuo smiled and said, "They all came for the crew. I was just a bystander. I'm not worth mentioning."

Wu Zhuo still maintains his usual style and focuses on being kind.

It won't cost you anything to be polite to others.

Moreover, Deng Liming is indeed worthy of being a teacher.

The other party is also considered a veteran actor in the mainland. He graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. He started acting many years ago and has appeared in many works.

Although most of them are supporting roles, their acting skills are really amazing.

Wu Zhuo also plans to ask him for advice on acting if he has time later!

I hope that with what I learned at Huagang Arts College, I can act in idol dramas.

If he wants to go further, he has to work harder.

And an old actor like Deng Liming, who graduated from a professional acting school, must be very good at teaching people.

Wu Chao doesn't expect to become a movie emperor.

But I also don’t want to be criticized for my bad acting skills.

"You are too modest. I heard that you are only 20 years old. It is very impressive that you have achieved what you have now at this age."

Wu Zhuo's humility and politeness were not in vain.

At the very least, when Wu Chao faces those mainland artists who have considerable opinions about Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, he can let them put aside their hostility and take the initiative to make friends with Wu Chao.

Deng Liming is almost the same now.

When the other party saw that Wu Chao did not speak as arrogantly as other Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, the smiles on their faces became much kinder.

While the two were chatting, Liu Shishi changed her clothes and put on makeup and came out.

Unlike Li Qian, she knew most of the crew members and they got to know each other very well.

Among most of the actors in the crew, she had only spoken a few words to Wu Zhuo, whom she was more familiar with.

Therefore, after coming out of the dressing room, she looked around, and when she didn't find Li Qian, she subconsciously walked to Wu Zhuo's side.

"Sure! This outfit!"

Wu Zhuo heard the noise and looked back.

When I saw Liu Shishi’s outfit, I couldn’t help but praise her directly.

"Yours is also very nice, white, and matches mine very well, like a couple's outfit."

Liu Shishi couldn't help but giggle when she heard that.

"Have you heard a song?" Wu Zhuo asked with a smile.

"What song?" Liu Shishi looked confused.

Wu Chao explained:
"Couple Outfits", I heard it online, it was sung by a singer called vae, and there's a line in the lyrics that says you can't pretend to be a couple just by wearing couple outfits."

"Bah! Who is wearing couple outfits with you? How shameless."

"You were the one who said my clothes and yours were a couple's outfit."
