Chapter 106 The Holy Maiden of Light
...
Like a cat smelling fishy smell, Thomas ran up to Shen Mengting in three steps at a speed that didn't fit his weight, and scanned her up and down with scalpel-like eyes, his eyes were shining brightly, and his mouth He also murmured something: "Perfect, really perfect. This figure, this appearance, and this temperament are very similar to Miss Zhou's family."
Yes, that's right!
Miss Zhou.
The theme element of the promotional film shot by the Thomas team this time is the beautiful and sad love story between the carp lake god and Miss Zhou's family hundreds of years ago.
Wang Yan was shocked when he first heard about this creative core. At that time, the story between Li Hualong and Miss Zhou was actually very simple. How can there be a story about love or not love?
What's more, at that time, Li Hualong was just a big carp whose spirituality had just opened up, his Taoism was shallow, and his demon core had not yet condensed. It is not much different from the big crab that is honestly staying in the fishing boat outside.
However, with the in-depth creation of their team, Wang Yan feels that the core story idea is still a bit messy. Moreover, the Zhou family has also been deeply brewing and continuously reprocessing this story for hundreds of years.
In short, this story has evolved into a beautiful and tragic legend, and Thomas has to show it in a short five-minute promotional video.
It is worthy of being the best director, ambitious and capable.
It turned out that the only thing that made Wang Yan a little embarrassed was that it was really difficult for him to play the carp spirit Li Hualong. The reason is simple, every time Wang Yan thinks of Carp Essence, Wang Yan will think of Li Hualong's square face with Chinese characters, and the appearance of an ancient general with a three-pointed and two-edged sword in his hands.
Now there is another embarrassment, that is, Thomas has taken a fancy to Shen Mengting as the heroine, to play the role of Miss Zhou's family. According to the content of this promotional video, there are many beautiful pictures of knowing each other and loving each other.
"This, Director Thomas. This Miss Shen Mengting is the head of the Shen Group." In order to avoid embarrassment, Wang Yan took the initiative to explain in stumbling English, "She is not a professional actor."
"No, no. Unless it is the most powerful actor whose life is like a play, and the play is like life. Ordinary actors will have obvious traces of carving." Thomas shook his head seriously and said, "The effect I want is The most natural and purest interpretation. And this young lady possesses the intelligence and restrained youthful temperament of an ancient Chinese lady."
After Zhou Zhiyi translated, he smiled and said to Shen Mengting: "Niece Mengting, I know this request may embarrass you. The rewards for shooting a promotional video are far from touching your heart. Why don’t you try some fresh feelings? Perhaps, this will help you truly open up your closed heart.”
"This..." Shen Mengting frowned, seemingly reluctant.
"Mr. Shen, I think this is a very good opportunity." Zeng Ling persuaded with winking eyes, "You should try more different life states, anyway, it's just a promotional film, not a big movie series or something .”
"If this lady is interested, you can try the role of Miss Zhou's maid." Although Thomas does not understand Chinese, as a director, exposure to and absorbing cultural elements from different countries and civilizations is his most basic professionalism . So he is no stranger to Chinese classical culture.
Like "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Romance of the West Chamber", "Dream of Red Mansions" and other classic stories, he has understood and absorbed elements. And many of the elements in the promotional film of the legend of the lake god come from classic classics.
The role of a maid is naturally an indispensable role in the theme of the classical Chinese lady.
"This is so interesting." Zeng Ling supported the frame and actively persuaded the hesitant Shen Mengting, "Mr. Shen, this time we came out to relax. A guest appearance in a promotional video, let's think of it as relaxation after work." .”
"Meng Ting, just take it as a favor for Uncle Zhou." Zhou Zhi said again and again, "This promotional film is very important to Uncle Zhou's future strategy. And Thomas is a stubborn old man who likes to pursue perfection." .If you refuse to shoot, it will definitely affect his creative mood.”
Under everyone's persuasion, Shen Mengting thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, since Uncle Zhou has said so, I'll try it. However, I have no acting experience, so I'm afraid I won't be able to act well."
"Don't worry, Mengting, this is just a promotional film. Most of the story is shown in the form of pictures." Zhou Zhiyi happily twirled the beads, reassuring the other party's doubts and said, "There is basically no requirement for acting skills. Besides, you, Mengting, originally It's just a young lady with a profound background, just keep acting in her true colors."
With this series of words, Wang Yan couldn't even get in his mouth, and the matter was finally finalized like this.
That's all, take people's money and get rid of disasters with people. Who is it not to shoot with?
The next meeting became more lively after Shen Mengting and Zeng Ling joined. Thomas, who found the heroine in his mind, seemed to be inspired to create, and the stories of several consecutive scenes were better interpreted.
This meeting lasted until the afternoon. After everyone had a quick meal, they started their intensive work. Wang Yan and Shen Mengting each tried on outfits, shot, and rehearsed on the spot.
I have to admit that Thomas, the experienced director, is still very discerning. After Shen Mengting changed into an ancient costume, she really performed a classic Jiangnan lady to the fullest. Intellectual, dignified, graceful, and kind, he has the impulse and strength to break free from the shackles of secular ethics.
In the scene of letting the carp return to life, her figure, eyes, and expression are perfect. Even Thomas, who is picky in every possible way, gave his thumbs up and called him GOOD.
Although Wang Yan has no acting experience, his physical fitness has fully evolved to the point of inhumanity, including the evolution of memory and comprehension.
In the scene of looking at Gehu Lake, Wang Yan, dressed in a chic ancient scholar's costume, came here on the blue waves, just to watch her pass the Huixian Bridge from a distance. Then, he rode the wind and waves away.
Although the play is beautiful and has a long meaning, Wang Yan complained in secret, that the carp shrewdly looks like an ancient general in golden armor, which is really against the sense of a scholar.
Scenes of stories include the strong ancient charm and beautiful scenery of the ancient town. The touching and emotional performance of the handsome guy and the beautiful girl surprised the entire filming team.
Moreover, both Wang Yan and Shen Mengting seem to be extremely talented. Many scenes only need to be rehearsed once, and you can quickly master various essentials. The performance is smooth and flawless, blending into the natural scenery, and the artistic conception is natural.
This greatly speeded up the entire filming progress, and in the evening when the sun was setting, it was already the last few scenes.
...
at the same time.
Inside Huahai State African Affairs Bureau.
The huge conference room is luxuriously decorated and bright as day, with lush potted plants everywhere, colorful butterflies dancing, fragrant flowers and fruitful fruits. There are even a few birds jumping around on a camphor tree, catching small bugs and eating them, having a great time.
If it was not known in advance, who would have imagined that such a pure and natural ecological environment could be created deep in the ground?
"Director Huangfu." Xiao Hei, a computer technician wearing black-rimmed glasses, said with a tired expression, "Among the 987 people, after a day and a night of secret investigation, I ruled out all impossibilities, and there are 316 suspects left. .”
Huangfu Nanlian, who had a black and beautiful long hair rolled back and wore sunglasses showing a frosty demeanor, frowned slightly and said, "Bang Xiong, you haven't found the old fairy since you went out with Scud?"
Popping Xiong drank his coffee to refresh himself, and said with a haggard face: "Miss Huangfu, it's not like you don't know. The old fairy has always been elusive, and his whereabouts are erratic. Even if he calls the Sky Eye system, it is impossible to find him... unless he is willing Let's find it. This blood angel leader's B-level mission is really difficult, the enemy is too cunning."
"B-level missions are inherently very difficult. There are many B-level missions that take several months or even a year or two." Huangfu Nanlian said calmly, "We are already very close to our goal. More than 300 suspects, Even if we go to investigate one by one, it will be very fast.”
"Having said that, I heard that our brother, Wang Yan, easily completed a B-level mission and received good reviews." Explosive Xiong said enviously and enviously, "How many years of meritorious service do I add up?" , not more than one-third of what he gained in a day. It's really annoying to compare people."
As soon as Wang Yan was mentioned, the corner of Nan Lian's mouth also curled into a smile. I have to admit that Wang Yan was really lucky. He easily picked up a B-level mission, and even took her to earn 250 merit points. Including some of his remaining merit points, it is enough to exchange for 2 B-level inner alchemy essences.
At this moment, Zhao Xiu's voice sounded at the door: "Miss Lulu, this way please."
Miss Lulu?
Nan Lian's face changed slightly. Could it be that the person who came was Lulu Avelina, the legendary contemporary saint of the Holy See? In the conference room, everyone's eyes were focused on the past.
The door of the meeting room was opened, and a pure and soft light breath spread into the meeting room soundlessly. It has been integrated into everyone's body and mind, and it is as warm as soaking in a hot spring, and the fatigue is instantly dispelled.
