Chapter 107 Qin Tian Joins the Group
Chapter 107 Qin Tian Joins the Group
Sometimes, people can get really angry. Some people rack their brains, go to great lengths, and even abandon their dignity and bottom line, but in the end, they can't even get a small supporting role.
Others simply wanted to stay quietly at home with Meng Ziyi, but unexpectedly, someone approached them and offered them a role in a film.
Seeing that Qin Tian had already become the male lead and started filming, Meng Ziyi was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
She then pouted and said to Qin Tian in a coquettish tone, "Oh dear, Qin Tian, look at you, you've gone and become the male lead! What am I supposed to do? Ever since we finished filming 'How Long Will I Love U,' I've been so bored and have nothing to do!"
Indeed, Meng Ziyi has been quite idle lately and hasn't received any new job offers for a long time.
Upon hearing Meng Ziyi's words, Qin Tian showed a hint of curiosity and asked, "Sister Meng, would you be interested in participating in a variety show?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi's eyes widened, and she asked in confusion, "Didn't you say before that I wasn't suitable for variety shows? Why are you asking me this question now?"
It turns out that she remembered Qin Tian telling her not to get involved in the variety show field.
Qin Tian quickly explained with a smile, "Haha, Sister Meng, actually you're not unsuitable for variety shows, on the contrary, you're perfect for them! It's just that... sometimes your mouth can offend people, so if you were to participate in a variety show, you'd probably end up going down the 'black-and-red' route."
Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi pouted and retorted defiantly, "Hmph, where did I do that? I always speak the absolute truth, and my attitude is always very sincere, okay!"
Qin Tian laughed and joked, "That's right, that's right, sincerity is the ultimate weapon!"
Meng Ziyi stomped her foot in anger and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying!"
Then, as if he had suddenly thought of a great idea, Qin Tian said to Meng Ziyi with great interest, "How about this, Sister Meng, since you're not afraid of being criticized, how about I write a variety show just for you? We'll call it 'Peach Blossom Village,' and I guarantee it will make you a huge star!"
Meng Ziyi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded firmly and replied, "Okay, anyway, I'm not afraid of those haters. If they dare to insult me, I'll bite you to vent my anger!"
After saying that, the two smiled at each other, as if they could already see Meng Ziyi shining brightly on the variety show.
In the days that followed, during the day, sunlight streamed through the window onto Qin Tian's desk as he sat there, completely absorbed in writing a variety show proposal. Every line of text, every idea, seemed like a spark in his mind, leaping onto the paper through his pen.
As night falls and the moonlight pours down like water, Meng Ziyi will appear before Qin Tian on time and patiently begin to teach him acting techniques. After all, Meng Ziyi is a professional, and she knows how to tap into a person's acting potential.
However, learning to act is no easy task, especially since it requires playing a wide variety of different roles. Sometimes, Qin Tian needs to instantly switch into the role of a disillusioned student;
At other times, he must transform into a majestic and domineering emperor.
This places extremely high demands on Qin Tian and Meng Ziyi's acting skills.
Meng Ziyi's voice became hoarse within two days, which can only be attributed to her taking her teaching too seriously.
Time flew by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and only one week remained before Qin Tian joined the film crew.
Considering the tight filming schedule ahead, Qin Tian decided to say goodbye to Meng Ziyi early and go home to adjust his condition and allow his body and mind to fully recover.
It is said that men love to hear women say "I want," but what they fear most is hearing "I want more."
Interestingly, during this period, Qin Tian could hear "I want it!! I want it!! I want it!! I want it!!!!" every day.
That unwavering dedication to teaching is both infuriating and hilarious.
After a few days of rest, Qin Tian felt that he had recovered almost completely, so he packed his bags and entered the film crew with great anticipation.
This was Qin Tian's first time participating in the filming of a TV series, and he was naturally filled with novelty and curiosity.
When the makeup artist put a heavy hood on him and dressed him in thick ancient costume, Qin Tian's first feeling was that the heat was unbearable.
The sweltering heat was several times more intense than the camouflage uniform he wore in "Wolf Warrior 2".
In addition, he discovered that the working model of a TV drama production team is very different from that of a movie crew.
Surprisingly, there were many assistant directors here, each responsible for filming different scenes and parts.
As the director, you only need to focus on filming the key scenes involving the main characters.
This experience truly broadened Qin Tian's horizons as a newcomer, and he gained a lot of knowledge.
The drama "The Story of Minglan" can truly be described as a unique and extraordinary phenomenon.
The reason it is called "unconventional" is that when the show first aired, its ratings were disappointing and fell far short of people's initial expectations.
However, this show has a significant long-tail effect.
Initially, as the plot unfolded, it could only be considered a popular drama. But unexpectedly, this drama became a "retirement drama" in Zhao Xiaodao's acting career.
A quick look at online viewership data reveals the truth: even after airing for four or five years, it still manages to maintain a place on various charts.
Watching old dramas is a common occurrence, but it's quite unbelievable that an old drama like this has a higher click rate on the platform than some recently released dramas.
Even more astonishing is that this phenomenon was not a fleeting moment, but rather persisted for several years, consistently ranking high on the leaderboard.
Judging from these aspects alone, this drama has undoubtedly achieved great success! For Zhao Xiaodao, this is also one of the very few works among her numerous productions that has been able to maintain its popularity.
It must be admitted that such excellent dramas are rare and hard to come by, and the most outstanding one is probably the classic "Empresses in the Palace".
Back then, even Jia Yueting, the founder of LeEco, had already fled far away, but the employees of LeEco, relying solely on the TV series "Empresses in the Palace," almost managed to pay off their huge debts despite losing their boss.
Oh dear, we've strayed a bit from the topic. Let's get back to the plot of "The Story of Minglan".
Although the female lead in this work is somewhat weak and not very satisfying, the ensemble cast is quite well portrayed!
Look at that hot-tempered first wife, she's like a firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest provocation;
Then look at that refined and profound old man, Mr. Sheng, who always has a mysterious look on his face, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he is thinking.
And then there's that Lin Xiaoniang, who can sing and act, but she's two-faced, pretending to be pitiful while actually being full of evil intentions.
And there was that kind and understanding old lady who always managed to guide her family in crucial moments;
Even Mo Lan, who is usually pretentious, has her own unique style in her words and actions;
Not to mention the silly Rulan, whose innocent and naive nature often makes people laugh out loud;
In addition, the Sheng family's sons are all very distinctive; some are clever and quick-witted, while others are honest and simple... So many different kinds of people together form a colorful family portrait.
It's worth mentioning that, as a drama series with a strong female lead, Qin Tian is not good at acting, so it's only natural that the popular Zhao Xiaodao would take on the lead role.
Their scenes together undoubtedly became a major highlight of the TV series.
Attracting Qin Tian...
