Chapter 54
Due to the final exam, Zhong Ling joined the group relatively late, and Qin Qin, who had come a step earlier, had already mingled with the crew.
The play to be filmed this time is a full-length drama, and "Twin Flowers" tells a story that happened in the context of the Republic of China.
The twin flower is a kind of flower in legend. Two parallel pedicles open at the same time, but they also compete with each other, and the struggle is endless.
One flower must constantly absorb the nutrients of the other, otherwise both will wither, so one must annihilate in exchange for the survival of the other. But when one side dies, the scarred side eventually rots away quietly.
In the Republic of China, women were allowed to sing opera, and gentleness and gentleness were adopted sisters in the opera troupe.
The two are like duckweeds drifting in troubled times, and they both want to live a good life. The difference is that Wen Wan wants to achieve her goal by clinging to a high branch, while Wen Wan dreams of becoming the next leader of the troupe.
But fate seems to have made a joke for the two of them. The gentleness who wants to be a young mistress and an officer's wife does not have a beautiful face like Wenwan, but the gentleness who wants to be appreciated by the old class leader in the troupe by her strength, she is singing. There is no such talent as gentleness.
The old master master knew the temperament of the two sisters, and before his death, he told them that there should be no competition in the troubled times, and the troupe needed the mutual support of the two to go on.
Lu Cen and Lu Yun are twin brothers who complement each other in literature and martial arts.
Lu Cen is a serious and domineering senior officer in a faction, while Lu Yun is a gentleman of the noble family, with the elegance and romance unique to intellectuals.
Lu Cen fell in love with the beautiful Wen Wan and wanted to marry her as his concubine. Lu Yun, who loved opera and had unique opinions, had already been convinced and fell in love with her after listening to gentle opera many times.
But Wen Wan values Lu Cen's power more, and Wen Wan has a very good impression of Lu Yun, who is a gentleman.
Among the sisters in the troupe, Wen Wan is more rational, and it is clear that with their two identities, they are not qualified to rise above the two brothers at all.
The plot perfectly combines dog blood with twists and turns. Gentleness became Lu Cen's aunt by disgraceful means. Facing the frustrated Lu Yun, Wen Wan gave just the right kind of care, and successfully became the other party's confidante.
However, the two women did not get the ending they wanted in the end.
Although Wenrou successfully left the troupe, Lu Cen did not like it, and the husband and wife were inseparable from each other.
She thought she was a winner at one time, and her smile was too silly, she didn't want the golden nest and the silver nest, but she was willing to stay in the troupe's dog kennel to live the stormy days.
Unexpectedly, during the period of the Republic of China, the warlords often fought in melee, and Lu Cen had many enemies, and she was not favored and favored, and the days in the war were also trembling.
Later, on the way Lu Cen escaped from the war, Roen was ruthlessly abandoned by him halfway, and the ending was tragic.
She finally realized that the most reliable person in the world is not others but oneself, but unfortunately it is too late.
Wen Wan was also not much better. After Wen Wan left, she successfully became the first person in the troupe, and she became Lu Yun's confidante. She lived a very unhappy life.
She secretly prided herself on being the winner, and Wen Wen was the fool who was sold and helped to count the money, because the reason why Wen Wen was able to become Lu Cen's aunt so smoothly at the time was all because of her secret push behind her back.
Seeing that Lu Yun was moved by Wen Wan's feelings and persistence towards the troupe, she never expected that her plan for being gentle was accidentally revealed, and Lu Yun cut off contact with her in great disappointment.
Wen Wan thought that she had successfully sent away the gentleness, so that she could carry forward the troupe as a successor.
However, the troupe lost its gentleness, but slowly began to go downhill. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't save it, and the days went by day by day.
When the troupe was forced to disband and everyone had no choice but to survive and leave, Wen Wan remembered the teachings of the old troupe, but could not return to the original.
...
This is a double heroine drama, and the plot is very different from that of mainstream idol dramas.
The male lead Lu Cen and Lu Yun are twin brothers, and the actor He Yuqing, who is supported by the biggest investor, plays the two roles. Although there are not as many scenes as Zhong Ling and Qin Qin, it is also a big challenge for He Yuqing.
Zhong Ling plays Wen Wan as a first-class character, and this role has more scenes, and various performances in the play reveal that the scheming and shrewdness is much higher than the gentleness.
Although such a character is not the kind of character that is lovable every day, it is a script that Xue Lan has carefully selected for her for a long time.
Because, if she wants to make Zhong Ling move towards the golden cup of the Academy Award, she must take the route of an actress in Tsing Yi as soon as possible.
When the acting major is recruiting students, it will distinguish the type of students at the beginning of the meeting. Usually, there are half and half of the students in a class, and there will be no students in a class with the type of Huadan or Tsingyi. time is also in accordance with the teaching plan.
The distinction between Hua Dan and Tsing Yi is based on appearance and temperament. The former is suitable for playing innocent, charming and lively young women, while the latter is better able to grasp the role of the big heroine who needs aura.
But the distinction between the two types is not absolute. After having been in contact with the students for a while, teachers may also find that although this student is recruited as a Huadan type, it is more suitable to play Tsing Yi.
Just like Zhong Ling, although she has the appearance of a Huadan type actor, she is also quite good at playing a Tsing Yi type role.
For the current entertainment industry, Huadan-type artists mainly shoot idol dramas and mainstream drama commercial films, which are usually very popular, while Tsing Yi-type artists mainly shoot life dramas and literary films and other serious dramas, which have higher requirements for acting skills and more drama. wide.
Nowadays, young actresses who follow the Tsing Yi route are rarely seen in China, most of whom are in their early thirties like Qin Zheng.
Xue Lan's decision was very bold. She hoped that Zhong Ling could take the high popularity of the popular Huadan to play the main drama and follow the Tsing Yi route, so as to make a bloody path in the entertainment circle.
This is also a bit risky. After all, actors have limited time and energy. If they star in a normal high-quality TV series, it means that the exposure frequency will be reduced, and exposure and popularity are linked.
Zhong Ling is willing to follow Xue Lan's command and advice, and she also hopes to constantly try various roles to break through herself, instead of playing the heroines carved out of almost a template in idol dramas.
The drama was decided at the end of September. Due to the large number of plots that took place in the troupe, it was necessary to sing.
As the leading actress, Zhong Ling had been training for three months before joining the group.
During these three months, she not only had to learn to sing opera, but also made up for many customs and cultures related to opera and the background of the Republic of China.
Mr. Shen had an old friend who knew opera, and Zhong Ling personally went to the door to ask him for help and guidance for a month.
She sang with her fingertips in Ye Chen's ear all day long, and along the way, she inspired Ye Chen's creative inspiration. She said that it was the fifth original single, and she planned to try the Chinese style. The elements of opera are mixed in.
Zhong Ling's efforts are obvious, and the director's performance during filming surprised the director fiercely.
But the director is both happy and unhappy. He is happy that Zhong Ling's performance is exceptionally good, and he is worried that Qin Qin's performance is really bad.
She played gentleness. In the plot, gentleness's talent in opera should be overwhelmed by gentleness, but now Zhong Ling's performance under the camera has compared her.
The rest of the cast felt it too.
Qin Qin's acting skills can't be said to be first-class, but in the current crowd of hot-eyed traffic florets, it is already very capable. There are often people doing horizontal comparisons of acting clips on the bullet screen video website, and Qin Qin is usually the one who is praised.
They didn't feel anything before because Qin Qin had never worked with a female star like Xiang Qiuyu or Qin Zheng in a serious shoot.
Finding that he was being crushed so badly, Qin Qin couldn't hold the smile on his face.
She was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhong Ling's acting skills to be so polished that she and her manager made a miscalculation.
According to Zhong Ling's performance in "Longevity", the agent believes that as long as Qin Qin works harder during training, he will not be overwhelmed by Zhong Ling.
Because Zhong Ling is too young and immature in terms of appearance, she looks cute and harmless, and is not suitable for playing such a scheming role. To play the role of Wen Wan, Zhong Ling needs to break through some of the limitations brought by her appearance, which is actually quite difficult.
Compared with Yun Ling's performance in "Longevity", Zhong Ling's performance can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.
With the experience of filming a large-scale drama, Zhong Ling seemed to be able to do it with ease under the camera of the "Twin Flowers" crew, Qin Qin's pressure became more and more intense, and his expression could not be relaxed.
After she got the script, she didn't pay much attention to training, and now it's impossible to get closer to Zhong Ling in a short period of time.
Not to mention the few parts of the singing, the lines of other parts were also compared by Zhong Ling by several grades.
Zhong Ling studied broadcasting in her last life, and her lines were her strong point.
Qin Qin bit his lip, knowing that it would be very unfavorable for him to continue like this, so he just kept doing it and let the winter wind freeze him.
Her assistant told the director that she had a sore throat. The crew saw that Qin Qin's voice was really hoarse, and they understood why she didn't perform well.
Under such circumstances, Qin Qin did not ask for the lines to be dubbed in later stages. She smiled apologetically, "I can't sing in such a high-pitched voice, and it's okay to say the lines." The
director hesitated for a while and saw her Insisting on this, he had to nod his head.
In fact, he himself really wanted to use a voice actor. The problem is that Qin Qin's coffee position is too large, and the reason why people insist on using it is considered dedicated, so he can't say anything.
After filming in the crew for more than half a month, Yin Xun took the opportunity of going out to talk about business affairs, and visited the crew once while passing by the film and television city.
Qin Qin saw that he actually appeared in the crew, and his eyes that were as calm as deep pools of water filled with waves.
It's like when I was bored to the extreme, I suddenly saw something new and interesting, and my heart was filled with excitement.
The author has something to say: Zhong Ling: I originally wanted to be a traffic florist, and I was done with making money happily.
Zhong Ling: I suddenly thought about it carefully. In the future, Brother Chen will become an Asian queen, so I, the first generation CP, will not be worthy of each other!
Ye Chen: Lingmei rushes to duck! ! ! In the future, you will be the double-actress queen who will take home both the Academy Awards and the Golden Film Awards!
Ye Chen: Until that day, I will write a song called Peerless Double Pride, and toast to our friendship!
Author fungus: two flowers! Two blooms!
Yin Xun: The male protagonist of this book really shouldn't have a name.
