Chapter 116 I Won't Lose My Color
"Yes, it's not just me."
Jiang Xiao's role as the prince is still kept under wraps.
Obviously the crew of "The Night Banquet" just wanted to create a publicity stunt.
After all, his reputation is still very small now, and whether he is exposed or not will have little impact.
It is better to keep it secret to the end and let the media reporters make all kinds of speculations, which is also a way to maintain the popularity.
"Okay, happy cooperation, Your Highness."
After hearing Jiang Xiao's confirmation, whether Zhou Xuncheng admitted it or not seemed to be a fact.
Who can say clearly about fate?
Putting aside the embarrassment of the first meeting, I just hope that we can cooperate well this time.
“A pleasure to work with!”
After hearing Zhou Xun's words, Jiang Xiao immediately responded with a smile.
"Now that you two are here, let's get started. Let's warm up first and then learn some basic dance moves."
Wang Fangfang, the dance teacher next to her, saw Jiang Xiao greeting Zhou Xun and made arrangements accordingly.
"Okay, let's listen to Teacher Wang."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao and Zhou Xun nodded at the same time.
…………
In a flash, the time came to the 16th, and the crew of "The Night Banquet" finally returned to the capital after going to Inner Mongolia to shoot the location.
We are about to start shooting interior scenes. It can be said that more than 80% of the scenes in the entire movie are interior scenes.
To this end, art director Ye Jingtian is still preparing to build nearly 20,000 square meters of interior scenery at a film and television base in Xiaotangshan for filming.
Aside from these, Jiang Xiao also met all the creative staff for the first time this morning.
For example, Uncle Ge is dressed in a black coat and has a bald head.
Many people said that they had the urge to laugh when they saw this person, but when they saw him in person for the first time, they did not feel this way. They even felt that the other person seemed to be an unsmiling person.
There is also Zhang Ziyi, who has long hair and is dressed in white clothes and trousers. She is quite thin.
As for Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming, there is no need to say more, they are both people we already know.
In addition, he is still an old actor Ma Jinwu.
Together with him, the whole movie is basically a story between six actors.
"Okay, everyone is here today. Let me introduce you first. This is Jiang Xiao. He graduated from China Opera and has been in the industry for a short time. He has just finished filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" produced by Zhang. This time he will be in "The Night Banquet".
"I play the role of a prince in "The Prince," and I hope you can have a happy collaboration."
"Hello teachers, it's a pleasure to work with you all."
At a certain moment, after seeing Feng Xiaogang introducing himself to everyone, Jiang Xiao himself half-bowed in greeting.
"Hey, you are in a drama? Then you are my junior brother!"
When the crowd heard that Jiang Xiao graduated from Chinese Opera, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but said something.
"Yes, Senior Sister Zhang, you are a role model in our school."
Pick and choose, Zhang Ziyi is definitely the one who has the best performance in Chinese dramas.
Therefore, Jiang Xiao didn't mean to compliment him. When he was in school, many people in the school regarded him as a role model and target.
It's a pity, how many people can cooperate with great directors like Zhang Yimou and Ang Lee soon after their debut?
Opportunity is something that cannot be explained clearly, just like him.
Except for "Peacock" which was pretty good, the other works were not that great, including the current "The Banquet", but in order to gain seniority, he didn't have any chance to be picky.
"Don't say that. Maybe I'm just lucky. I hope we two alumni can work together once again."
Zhang Ziyi, who smiled lightly, did not forget to be modest while enjoying himself.
"certainly."
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao responded to Zhang Ziyi with a smile.
"Okay, everyone knows each other, let's start the opening ceremony. Anyway, it is internal and will not be made public. It can be as simple as possible without wasting too much time. The staff member will hand out the incense first."
Soon, without further ado, Feng Xiaogang stood up again and took charge of the on-site opening ceremony.
In this way, all the creative people present, including the old and young Wang, the admirer Ye Jingtian, photographer Zhang Lin and others, took the incense and bowed three times and inserted it into the incense burner one by one.
Feng Xiaogang, who was the last one to finish offering the incense, bowed first and said, "Let me bow to everyone first."
"Whoa whoa whoa~~!!!"
In response to this, everyone present naturally applauded.
After finishing, the former continued: "After a long period of preparation, "The Night Banquet" finally entered the palace today. We also filmed before. Everything went smoothly, and it was all thanks to our excellent partners."
"Especially Teacher Ye Jingtian and Teacher Zhang Lin who work the hardest."
"Then I would also like to thank the two investors for their trust in me. I am also very confident that I will make the movie "The Banquet" well. That's all. Thank you everyone!"
"Hua hua hua~~!!!"
As Feng Xiaogang bowed again, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause again.
…………
"Wuluan!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Ziyi, who was lying with his back to the camera, immediately stood up happily and ran towards Jiang Xiao with his bare feet on the floor.
But she didn't pay attention and ran one more step, just when she thought she was about to have sex.
But she heard Jiang Xiao's voice, which was deliberately lowered, almost synchronized with her movements: "Mother!"
This made her startled, but after all these years of filming, her reaction was not slow, especially the scene here, which just needed a moment of surprise.
In the plot, the queen really did not expect that the prince would speak from such a distance, so she had this reaction.
In short, following the trend, Zhang Ziyi took half a step back, then slowed down his pace and walked towards Jiang Xiao again, and continued: "Your voice is a little hoarse, and you are wearing such a weird mask.
The sword barrel is gray and gray, why are you like this?"
By the time the last word fell, she was already standing in front of Jiang Xiao.
"This sentence……"
Jiang Xiao himself, wearing a mask, answered the question appropriately.
At the same time, there was a process of raising his head slightly, and a complicated expression flashed in his eyes.
After all, the earliest queen was supposed to be his lover, but after a series of mistakes, it became the relationship between the elder and the younger generation.
There is nothing he can do about it all, but you can imagine what kind of state of mind he must be in.
Soon, after a well-timed pause, Jiang Xiao continued to speak in a lowered voice: "I should be the one to ask the Queen Mother!"
Jiang Xiao was giving full play, but when the complexity in his eyes did not dissipate, a touch of sadness emerged again.
He looked at Zhang Ziyi without blinking, trying to see through the other person's unpredictable heart.
At the same time, Feng Xiaogang, who had been watching the camera behind the monitor, almost didn't take the crime and was so surprised.
Just now, Zhang Ziyi failed twice due to positioning issues. Just when he was about to make another mistake, Jiang Xiao made up for this scene.
He actually spoke in advance and took the initiative to cooperate with the former's performance, thus successfully overcoming this small problem, which naturally surprised him.
It can be said that most actors only focus on their own performances. Without a tacit understanding of cooperation, problems will continue to arise.
And Jiang Xiao just filmed his first scene with Zhang Ziyi today, so there is naturally a problem of tacit understanding, but the former is really amazing, and he will not lose his own color even if he deliberately caters to others' performances.
He is obviously wearing a mask, but his eyes still steal the show.
Filming with such actors, or working with such actors, I am afraid every director and actor will feel sincerely relaxed.
Chapter completed!
