He wouldn't proudly tell you that because of the popularity of "Daming Palace", he had gotten a back cover page in ELLE Clothing. It was a small leap, not to mention that he had also received a special interview for the Capital Fashion Week.
Then he left the capital, blowing a kiss to Cong Nianwei, who was reluctant to see him go.
The adaptation of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" had been through a lot of hardships and hardships.
Putting aside the fact that Shao Wen, who was originally supposed to play the role of Linghu Chong, had been replaced by Li Jipeng at the last minute after six episodes had been shot, the entire 40-episode drama had thousands of people participating in the filming. The changes that happened every day were unpredictable.
Unfortunately, Qin Guan didn't continue his good luck. When he arrived in Zhejiang, it was a scorching hot day in the south. The temperature at the Wuxi location was 50 degrees Celsius, which was a big challenge for the actors, who had to wear layers of ancient costumes.
But Director Zhang's plan was to finish filming within 180 days.
However, it was a bad start. He had been working on it since March and had experienced all kinds of difficulties.
At the beginning, Shao Wen had been irresponsible to himself and the crew. He had treated the tens of millions of CCTV's investment as a trifling matter.
The replacement of the leading actor had made the shooting even more difficult. All the previous work had gone to waste.
The heavy rain in June had washed the old Yaowang Temple again. They had to work on the art design and props from scratch, which took up a lot of time.
Compared to these difficulties, the scorching heat was nothing to the actors in the crew.
Master Jin, the author of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", was willing to sell the adaptation rights for one yuan, which gave Director Zhang confidence.
When he joined the cast, he was like a small splash among the actors and actresses. Before he could make any waves, he was drowned by the others.
Qin Guan didn't want to miss the chance to learn. He knew too little about the acting industry.
Before he could learn though, tragedies happened one after another. Qin Guan couldn't bear to look at them.
Miao Jiajia, who was portraying Yue Lingshan, had accidentally twisted his ankle during the fight scene. That day, his ankle was swollen like a carrot.
Qin Guan assessed the danger level of the fight scene under the pressure of the stunt director. Whoever said it was not hard had to come out and fight for 200 rounds!
After the incident, Qin Guan had learned a lot from the crew. Young actors in those days cared more about their attitude than their acting skills.
With three layers of thick, long-sleeved costumes, sweat would drip down just by standing still, but as soon as the director said, "Start!", they would immediately put down the fans and newspapers in their hands and focus on the filming process.
No one complained of tiredness. That was their dutiful attitude.
His favorite place to stay on the set was with his co-stars.
Yes, it was with Mao Weitao, the actress who played the role of Invincible Dongfang.
She was not a professional actress. She was a famous Yue Opera actor. Director Zhang had taken a liking to her and transferred her to the crew.
As a disciple of the third generation of the Yin School, Mao Weitao had been appointed as the leader of the Zhejiang Yue Opera Troupe the previous year. She had played the role because of her perfect acting skills and androgynous appearance.
She had arrived two days later than Qin Guan. Her workplace was close to the location, so she had finished singing in a hurry. As soon as she joined the crew, she found a little tail following behind her.
Sister Mao liked Qin Guan very much. After all, he was her younger brother, while Qin Guan was a silly boy with a serious attitude. Since he had nothing better to do, he even taught him a few simple lines of Yue Opera singing.
Every time Qin Guan started learning, he would learn by the book. If he wasn't too old and didn't want to learn, Sister Mao would have taken him under her wing.
The two partners were having a good time. Before they could enjoy themselves for a few days, Invincible Dongfang and Yang Lianting arrived.
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia Qin Guan couldn't help complaining about the difference between male and female directors' taste in clothes.
Director Zhang might have asked the props team to make the costumes look gorgeous because of a sword from the Wuyue Sword School or a jade cup, but he couldn't bear to look at the actors' taste in clothes.
As the Sun Moon Sect's incognito hierarch, Yang Lianting's rustic greenish-gray robe was downright tacky. There were a lot of lace embroidery on his robe, but no one else could match the colors. Not to mention the tall crown on his head, which made him look even more comical.
What was Qin Guan's background though? He was invincible among the younger generation of models in China.
The thick clothes made him look valiant. If you ignored the terrifying temperature, this character's outer appearance could be given full marks.
The role of Yang Lianting was completely different from that of Zhang Changzong. Zhang Changzong was gentle, while Yang Lianting was masculine. He was a male chauvinist. In other people's eyes, he was Invincible Dongfang's boy toy, but when he got along with Invincible Dongfang, he only treated her as his own woman. That was all.
Therefore, he unscrupulously made demands on the East. He could berate them as he pleased and make helpless requests. While he was making demands in reality, he was a man who truly loved the East. This made Yang Lianting a complicated person.
The first scene about Yang Lianting was a group scene with a large number of actors. Dozens of extras, along with the main cast, would have their first fierce collision in the cave of the Sun Moon Church.
The throne of the Sect Master was set up on a high stone wall. There were countless cameras set up around it.
Director Zhang looked at Qin Guan, who he remembered from his hometown, and warned him, "Don't forget your lines! Beginners can be forgiven for making low-level mistakes, but low-level mistakes are hateful. "
Qin Guan let out a sigh of relief. He knew that he was the least experienced actor, except for the extras. The distrust in their eyes was not only from the main actors, but also from the extras.
The members of the Sun Moon Sect wore thicker clothes than the rest of the actors. They were even wearing big cloaks.
Everyone got into position and waited in silence. "Everyone, get ready. Three, two, go!"
The machine started and Yang Lianting walked out of the cave with his hands behind his back. The camera had fallen on the top of the cave, so the details of Yang Lianting's appearance couldn't be captured. Everyone could only hear his voice, not see him.
Qin Guan grasped the rhythm step by step and read his lines word for word. "Elder Shangguan, you've succeeded. You've captured Linghu Chong. Our Hierarch is very happy."
"Thank you, Sect Master …" Elder Shangguan said as the camera switched to a close-up shot of Yang Lianting. Director Zhang could see Yang Lianting's full face on the screen.
