Chapter 1229 1329. Guo Xiang

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Guo Xiang?"

Nie Wei smiled and nodded, explaining to Shu Chang: "Jiang Jiajun said he wanted to add a scene, I think it's good, this role has three scenes in total, one is going up the mountain, one is meeting He Zudao, and then the farewell to Master Jueyuan, and another is memorizing the fragments of the Nine Yang Manual."

"They are all not very difficult scenes, the key is that this role is very likable, how about giving it a try?" Nie Wei suggested.

Shu Chang thought about it seriously, Shu Chang didn't care about the difficulty of the scene, after all, it was not a movie, but just a TV series, and Nie Wei said that most of the actors in it were young, even if she didn't act for a few years, she would not decline to the point where she could be outdone by a few young actors who had just debuted a few years ago.

Shu Chang was indeed very moved by the likability of the role. Guo Xiang, this is definitely a role that ranks in the top three in terms of likability of female characters in all Mr. Jin's novels.

This character is quirky and born in a noble family, but she doesn't have the temper of a young lady. She has a chivalrous style, is quite heroic, unrestrained, and dares to love. Her lifelong admiration for Yang Guo has touched countless book lovers.

They first met at Fengling Ferry, and Yang Guo fell in love with her for life. Which man would not be moved by such a beautiful and affectionate woman?

This also makes this character, which was originally just a supporting role, popular enough to rank among the top female characters in Jin Yong's works.

However, Shu Chang still has some concerns and said with some embarrassment: "But I'm 31 years old. You let me play Guo Xiang. Am I a little too old?"

Some time ago, Shu Chang's good friend Qiao En was criticized by some netizens for acting in an idol drama again. Qiao En was depressed for a long time and complained to Shu Chang a lot.

As a result, Shu Chang became a little sensitive to such things, fearing that she would be questioned by netizens because of her age and role.

Nie Wei couldn't help laughing after hearing Shu Chang's words.

"But in my eyes, you are no different from when you were 18 years old."

"Huh, you can only say that to coax me, how can there be no difference? When I was 18 years old, my waist circumference was only 56CM, but now my waist circumference is almost 60. I'm obviously less than five pounds heavier, but I feel that I'm thicker." Shu Chang said, and the distress on his face could not be hidden.

Nie Wei was speechless after hearing this. Shu Chang was 1.65 meters tall and weighed just over 90 pounds. A waist circumference of 60 can be said to be a very standard and perfect waist circumference. In Nie Wei's opinion, Shu Chang's waist was too thin before, and it felt like he could pinch it with his hands without stretching too far.

"Where is your waist thick? I see that the waists of those girls in the company are not as thin as yours. You really think too much." Nie Wei advised.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shu Chang looking at him unkindly.

"Boss Nie, are the girls in the company's waists so beautiful? You've observed them carefully."

"Ah, no, I mean Zhou Duoduo, isn't Duoduo's waist circumference 62?" Nie Wei was also at a loss for words, and made up a neat explanation.

He just said that just to comfort Shu Chang, but he didn't expect that this woman would not listen to the point and would find some trivial things to find fault with.

"Anyway, let me think about it again." Shu Chang said hesitantly.

"You have too many concerns, just agree to it. I happen to be free, how about going with you? After you finish filming, we will go to Songshan to take a look and taste the vegetarian food of the monk." Nie Wei said with a smile.

"Will you go with me too?" Hearing that Nie Wei wanted to accompany him, Shu Chang's concerns were instantly gone, and he seemed to have found a support all of a sudden.

"Of course, you are not in Kyoto anymore, what's the point of me staying here?" Nie Wei answered as a matter of course. After hearing this, Shu Chang couldn't help but laugh. Although she said that Nie Wei was good at coaxing people, she felt sweet in her heart.

Nie Wei didn't say this to fool Shu Chang. He was really not busy. Since he called the Fanxing Group to Liu Jing's hands, his daily workload was actually much less than that of a normal office worker. When there was no shooting plan, he could be said to be extremely free.

Wang Zhonglei was responsible for the daily operations of Huayi, Ma Dong and others were in charge of Fanxing, and as for the real estate company, professional management talents were already in charge of operations.

Nie Wei is now retreating behind the scenes. He is said to be in charge of the overall situation. In fact, without major changes in the company, Nie Wei really has no work. At most, he signs a report every day, which does not take up much time.

Nie Wei was not the kind of person obsessed with power. When he first came to this world, he preferred the feeling of being the center of attention, but after 18 years, he was really a little tired of it. Recently, he has been enjoying a leisurely and quiet life. He makes money just to ensure that he and the people he loves don't have to worry about worldly money.

Because this way you can live freely, play whatever you want, eat whatever you want, and go wherever you want.

With Nie Wei's promise to accompany him, Shu Chang didn't hesitate for long this time, and agreed to Nie Wei to play the role of Guo Xiang, and Nie Wei quickly told Jiang Jiajun about Shu Chang's decision.

After answering Nie Wei's call, Jiang Jiajun jumped up directly, scaring the assistant director next to him.

"Director, is there something happy?" After being surprised, the assistant director couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Shu Chang is coming." Jiang Jiajun smiled happily. The matter has been settled, so he naturally doesn't need to keep it secret. He even wants to spread the news to the entire crew and even the reporters waiting outside.

Although Shu Chang joined the crew as a guest star, it was a big news for both the crew and the media.

For the crew, Shu Chang's guest star is equivalent to an "insurance" for the crew. With Shu Chang, a former top female star, joining, this TV series will definitely be popular before it is broadcast, at least the ratings of the first broadcast will not be worried.

Not to mention the reporters outside, which work Shu Chang chooses for her comeback will be the headline of their headlines tomorrow, especially since Shu Chang did not appear in a movie when she came back, but chose a TV series, which is a topic worth exploring.

The news spread quickly, and the first to be affected were the actors in the crew.

It doesn't matter to the older actors. At their age, their acting style has basically been fixed. Unless there are some special films, they basically roll back and forth in a few image roles. Moreover, they are all supporting roles, and they don't need to bear the ratings of the TV series. The mentality is that they are workers, and they don't ask for a big hit because of this drama.

The actors who are really affected are mainly those young actors.

Jiang Jiajun especially likes to use young actors. In his words, he prefers the youthful and natural feeling of young actors. Like a blank sheet of paper, he can draw whatever he wants, and they will give all kinds of answers. Unlike mature actors, their acting skills are basically fixed, which makes him, as a director, feel very unfulfilled.

Of course, there is another reason for the actual situation. This director mainly doesn't like to hire expensive actors. He originally intended to spend money on special effects, props and even BGM, and didn't want to spend a lot of money just to invite an actor.

After knowing that Shu Chang was coming to guest star, the young actors were both excited and nervous.

On the one hand, Shu Chang is the idol of many young girls at the scene. She has won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress three times (reminded by the book friends that it is three times), and is also the winner of the Golden Image Award, Golden Rooster Award, Golden Eagle Award, Hundred Flowers Award and other major awards. She is the youngest actress in China to win the Golden Award Grand Slam in the Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

More importantly, Shu Chang retired at the peak of her career and married for love.

This also makes Shu Chang's story covered with a layer of legendary color, becoming an idol in the minds of countless girls, the most envied object, and the goal to strive for.

"Xiao Li, haven't you met Shu Chang many times in private? What is she like?" Several young actors got together and naturally asked Yang Xiaoli, who seemed to have the closest relationship with Shu Chang.

"She is pretty good and takes good care of me." Yang Xiaoli replied with a smile.

She actually joined the group early, and there was no part for her in this section, but the company sent her here early to let her learn on the spot. After all, Yang Xiaoli had no acting foundation except for taking acting classes before.

Adapting to the atmosphere of the crew in advance and observing from the sidelines is also a good opportunity for improvement. After all, watching the filming once is more useful than the teacher explaining it three times.

Hearing Yang Xiaoli's general answer, many people couldn't help rolling their eyes. Isn't this the same as not saying anything?

"Tell me more about it in detail, such as what she hates or what she likes?" someone asked.

Yang Xiaoli thought about it seriously and replied: "It seems that Sister Shu Chang doesn't hate anything. Maybe I didn't notice it. As for what she likes, she likes small animals very much. The last time she participated in "Longing for Life", she almost forgot the filming task when she was teasing the puppy."

"What about food and drink? Is there anything taboo?"

"No, I drink juice, carbonated drinks, boiled water, hot tea, and wine. Brother Nie Wei doesn't drink much, but he doesn't hate it either." Yang Xiaoli suddenly remembered something when he said this, and shouted: "Oh, I remembered something!"

"What is it, you are going to say it quickly." Everyone heard that Yang Xiaoli didn't say anything after screaming, and hurriedly urged.

"Sister Shu Chang and Brother Nie Wei don't drink coffee much." Yang Xiaoli smiled and said, "I know the reason. Brother Nie Wei told me."

"What's the reason?" Everyone asked with jealousy and curiosity. They were jealous of Yang Xiaoli's good relationship with Nie Wei and his wife. No wonder she could play such a likable and important role as 'Xiao Zhao' as soon as she debuted.

You should know that among the four women of Yi Tian, ​​although Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo are the ones who have the deepest entanglement with Zhang Wuji, Xiao Zhao, who seems to have far less scenes than the two, is actually the most pitiful character in the film. Even Mr. Jin said in the postscript that his favorite role among the four women is Xiao Zhao.

Such a role is not something that a newcomer can get just because Yang Xiaoli is popular.

"Brother Nie Wei told me that coffee is not as good as tea. Both taste bitter and are for refreshing the mind, but hand-grinded coffee has high requirements and is too troublesome. Instant coffee is unhealthy and has high calories. Tea is different. It can be brewed anytime and anywhere with hot water and a teacup. It is pure natural and healthy, and the key is that it has almost no calories. He told me not to drink coffee when I feel sleepy in the future. Tea is the best."

"So you hold a thermos cup to brew tea every day, and you don't drink coffee when others give you coffee? We all thought you didn't like coffee, but now it seems there is a reason." Chen Yuqi, who plays Zhao Min, said with a smile.

"Haha, I used to drink coffee, and there are airport photos of me holding a coffee cup on the Internet. But after participating in the show last time, I listened to Brother Nie Wei and started drinking tea instead. I was a little uncomfortable at first, but later I liked it and felt that it was much better than coffee." Yang Xiaoli laughed.

One day later, director Jiang Jiajun found that the young actors in the crew were like old people, either holding a large teapot or carrying a thermos cup, which was filled with tea leaves and even wolfberries.

But he was only surprised for a while, and soon he didn't care what these people drank. Because of the temporary addition, he had to add another paragraph on the basis of the original script, so during this period, in addition to filming, he spent all day with several screenwriters to discuss how to add Guo Xiang's scene so that it would not take up too much weight and be particularly colorful.

"Director, it's really hard to write. In The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Guo Xiang's appearance was just an introduction. Even the most important young Zhang Sanfeng who was present at the time was just an important supporting role in the novel. No matter how exciting it is, it can only be found from this character itself."

The screenwriter was very distressed. The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber novel is different from many novels. It starts with a pseudo-protagonist novel. Zhang Wuxia and Yin Susu occupy the main part of the opening. At that time, many readers thought that these two characters were the protagonists, but who would have thought that they all died in Wudang Mountain later.

Then Zhang Wuji's growth occupied a large part of the novel. In the novel, when the adult Wuji appeared, the novel was already more than halfway through. In the four-volume version, Zhang Wuji did not come out of the Kunlun Valley until the beginning of the third book.

So it is also difficult for the screenwriter to make a character who is not the main character in the introduction exciting enough.

Later, everyone came up with a solution. They simply started with another introductory character, He Zudao. After all, He Zudao was a very exciting character when he first appeared, and he fell in love with Guo Xiang at first sight in the novel. This was a very good idea.

"It's just that there are too few scenes, and it's hard to express the emotional scenes. Who should I find to play it?" After having an idea, everyone was troubled by the question of who to find to play it.

At this time, Jiang Jiajun received a call from Nie Wei. After the call, Jiang Jiajun had an idea in his mind and smiled to tell everyone that he had found a very suitable actor for the role of He Zudao.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
