we are not friends anymore

The background of the original novel of "Wolf Smoke" is an overhead era similar to the period of the Republic of China, where warlord forces were in a period of melee.Although it is a drama with a leading actor, in terms of the plot, it is actually a male group drama centered on the male protagonist. The original plot is wonderful, and the interaction between the young marshals is full of tension. There are a group of very loyal fans of the original.

In the story, Xiao Jue, the young marshal played by Ji Yan, is a very famous "son of wolf" among the northern warlords, known for being as ruthless and ruthless as his father.In a turmoil that almost shook the situation, several generals from the north and the south, including Xiao Jue's father, were assassinated to death, and within a few days the world became a battlefield for several young young commanders.

Xiao Jue inherited his father's army in his early twenties, fought a bloody road to unify the north, and finally fought a wolf and tiger duel with Cheng Xuan, a young marshal who was as famous as himself in the south.

The role of Yan Shaowen that Qiao Mingxi will play is very small, and there are less than [-] characters in the original text. He is the young master of the Yan family among the southern warlords, and the illegitimate son of Marshal Yan. Unlike his elder brother Yan Shaowu, who was carved out of his father's mold, Yan Shaowen was weak and sick since he was a child, and was raised elsewhere like a canary, with little contact with the outside world, clean and ignorant as a piece of white paper.

In the second half of the plot, in the duel between Xiao Jue and Cheng Xuan, both of them need Yan Shaowu, who has a great influence in the south, to be their help.Cheng Xuan took the first step and took Yan Shaowen as a hostage. Unexpectedly, Yan Shaowen, who had left important medicinal materials, fell ill and died miserably on the way. Yan Shaowu then decided to join hands with Xiao Jue to avenge his brother, and became Xiao Jue's last helper on the way to defeat Cheng Xuan.

Yan Shaowen didn't appear much in the main text, but a side story made him a very popular character in the original work.

The extra episode mainly tells about his first encounter with his elder brother Yan Shaowu and the process of getting better and better.

For Yan Shaowu, who was strictly demanded since he was a child and could hardly feel any family affection, his lively, simple and chatty younger brother was his only concern in this world; and for Yan Shaowen, who rarely even saw his father's face, his older brother It is almost his whole world.The entire episode describes the relationship between the brothers in a very interesting and warm way, while the tragic death of the younger brother and the grief of the older brother in the main text are very moving.

It has to be said that a large part of the reason for the popularity of this character is that it is a rotten side-ball, but from the perspective of the character alone, it is not too difficult for Qiao Mingxi to control it, whether it is appearance or personality.And after careful calculation, he has almost no rivalry with Ji Yan, and more with Xue Qiao, the newcomer who plays Yan Shaowu.

When the drama "Wolf Smoke" was first announced, it was widely reported by the media with the theme of "the era of masculinity". In addition to Ji Yan, who was originally extremely popular and getting more and more powerful, several young marshals also played the role. They are all young actors with outstanding appearance and strength, and the supporting roles are even well-known actors in the circle.

The production of the whole drama is very sophisticated, the modeling and scenes are led by a team led by domestic masters, as soon as the photos of several young marshals with different styles of military uniforms come out, fans including book fans are immediately excited, and it has become the most anticipated drama of the year. The ip adaptation works.

Although the filming of this drama started after Ji Yan's movie that hit the actor at the end of the year, everyone in the industry knew that this was a gift from Huang Yao to Ji Yan.

In the six months after c.air disbanded, Qiao Mingxi only filmed an idol drama that he signed before the group disbanded. Except for the birthday party a few days ago, he hardly received any announcements, and the whole person was as leisurely as a vacation.This time, I suddenly accepted an airborne role, and it was appointed by the production company, so I didn't even have to audition.

The production team of this drama is famous for its fineness and conscience. In order to shoot the authentic southern gardens, the team spent a lot of money and entrusted a lot of favors to rent the ancestral house of a big family in the southern city A. It is divided into several parts and arranged into The main house of the Cheng family and the Yan family and the other courtyard where Yan Shaowu lives.

Except for the scenes outside the garden that need to be filmed in film studios and other places, almost all of Qiao Mingxi's scenes are done here.He didn't even have time to meet Shen Jiaen, so he flew to City A with Xiao Yan, and only had time to call Shen Jiaen after leaving the airport.

"Did you really answer?" Shen Jiaen on the other end of the phone seemed to be in a good mood, and let out a series of trademark laughs, "Good job! Didn't Lin Zining want this role? I won't give it to him!"

Compared to his joy, Qiao Mingxi was very calm. He didn't sleep well on the plane, and his hair was a little messy.Shen Jiaen also seemed to hear that he was not in high spirits, and asked with concern: "Then where are you going now? Are you directly joining the team?"

Qiao Mingxi glanced at Xiao Yan's mobile phone: "Well, go see the screenwriter first."

"This is too rushed." Shen Jiaen was speechless, "Forget it, I can't tell you, the crew of my show is coming soon. Ah Xi, come on."

He said the last three words very forcefully, Qiao Mingxi was silent for a few seconds, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Well, I know."

Not long after hanging up the phone, the car drove to the shooting location. The people from the company took Qiao Mingxi's luggage to the hotel prepared by the crew. Qiao Mingxi himself brought Xiao Yan and a bodyguard from the company. The crew assistant at the door led them into the garden.

Qiao Mingxi joined the crew halfway, and many parts had to be improvised. When they arrived, several sets of filming were in progress. Chief director Lin Huan was filming Yan Shaowu and his subordinates' rival scenes. The writer and lead stylist were notified.

The chief screenwriter of "Wolf Smoke" is also the author of the original novel. She is a very young girl. After seeing Qiao Mingxi, she shook hands with him with a friendly smile: "It's finally time for you."

Qiao Mingxi was a little stunned, and the crew assistant smiled and said, "Sister Yan wanted Brother Mingxi to play Brother Wen from the very beginning, but there was no chance at that time."

Qiao Mingxi smiled a little embarrassedly, looked at the screenwriter and said sincerely: "I will work hard."

The screenwriter also smiled, and let Qiao Mingxi be pulled over by the costumer and makeup artist.

The meticulousness of the crew is almost to the point of madness. The costumes and makeup are divided into two groups. One group is in charge of the southern forces. From the style and material of the costumes to the skin color and appearance of the actors, they must be in line with the southerners. Whether the temperament is close to the south or the north, at least the makeup, hair and clothing must be like a southerner.

Fang Han, who played Yan Shaowen before, was about the same size as Qiao Mingxi, and the costume team modified the clothes overnight according to Qiao Mingxi's body size. Therefore, Qiao Mingxi found that several sets of clothes were almost perfect for him during fitting.

The makeup artist from the makeup and hair team came to try on Qiao Mingxi's makeup. Qiao Mingxi obediently asked the makeup artist to apply skin care products with her eyes closed, while listening to the playwright who was sitting beside her.

"Brother Wen is very clean and simple." The screenwriter's voice was serious and soft, "This kind of simplicity is due to his ignorance and fearlessness due to his ignorance of the outside world. He is very lively and talkative, the so-called talkative It is because there are almost no one to talk to except the servants, so he has a brain when facing his brother. At the same time, he is very loyal and dependent on his brother, which is also a pure expression. I hope you can understand that he is from the inside out A kind of cleanliness and innocence, instead of a silly white sweetness that floats on the surface like a mentally retarded person, can it work?"

The pure and clean character design looks simple, but it is not easy to really make the audience like it.Qiao Mingxi closed her eyes and thought for a while, then opened her eyes while the makeup artist was spraying the spray, looked at the screenwriter and said seriously: "I understand, don't worry."

Although the shooting time was very tight, Qiao Mingxi didn't need to leave the set as soon as he entered the set. This day was mainly for Qiao Mingxi to try on a few sets of styles, and the photographer of the crew took a few spoiler photos by the way.

Qiao Mingxi was wearing the most common set of clothes in the play at this time, a well-made white shirt and brown suspender trousers. Ordinary people would easily look like a small newspaper boy on the street, but he perfectly became the pride of a great family in the Republic of China. Your dear young master.

Xiao Yan took out his mobile phone and took a photo while he was looking down at the script: "Brother Mingxi, please post a Weibo."

After signing the contract with Qiao Mingxi, the crew officially released the news of the role change, because Fang Han had an accident and changed the person, and Qiao Mingxi's rank was much higher than Fang Han's, so the fans of the other party were not too much. fierce reaction.

Instead, netizens focused on Qiao Mingxi and the hero Ji Yan. Some said Qiao Mingxi slapped his face, some hyped conspiracy theories, and of course there were carnivals of cp fans and c.air fans.

Qiao Mingxi took the phone and looked at himself in the photo. He has dyed his hair back to black for a long time, and his whole person is soft and non-aggressive. The quiet look with his downcast eyes really resembles the young master Wen in the hearts of book fans. younger brother.

He bowed his head in silence for a while, and then edited a Weibo post along with the picture.

So on this day, Qiao Mingxi's fans posted this Weibo as soon as they refreshed the homepage:

Qiao Mingxi v:

Joined the group, new role, I will not lose [Come on].

[with attached picture]

Not long after Weibo was posted, the comments immediately reached four digits.

"Ahhhhhhh, Your Highness is so pretty!"

"Although I was caught off guard, the role this time is great. Come on, Your Highness!"

"So the previous birthday party was really a hype [goodbye]"

"#乔明希狼烟燕少文# Your Highness simply couldn't be more suitable! Come on and defeat the white-eyed wolf!"

"Book fans said that it is really more suitable than Fang Han, looking forward to it."

"Speaking of the hype, please bring some intelligence, acting with such an annoying person can only show that our little Highness has high professionalism [smile]."

"Hehe, that's right, some white-eyed wolf fans really think that their master is already the actor?"

"I really can't stand it any longer. A certain giant baby should not go too far against us Yan Shao, okay?"

"The group fans said everyone don't make noise...Compared to the neighbors who are so noisy and never get in touch with each other, seeing the members of the group acting together after disbanding is really touching and crying."

"The CP fan is crying out loud! Tell me my cute CP doesn't have a be!"

"It's really Qiao Mingxi. What drama was Lin Zining referring to when he said that he might come to City A to film? I thought it was Wolf Smoke."

"Take baby Zining away and don't make an appointment. City A is not the only drama with Wolf Smoke, please don't add dramas to Shufen."

……

Qiao Mingxi roughly read some comments, and picked up some private messages from people he knew before quitting Weibo and handing the phone back to Xiao Yan.

He took the script and walked outside the house. Yan Shaowu's scene was being filmed by the man-made lake not far away. Qiao Mingxi approached to take a look, but stopped when he saw the person who was playing against Yan Shaowu clearly.

Xue Qiao is a new-generation actor who graduated from a major in the Academy of Drama. He is tall and handsome. Wearing the dark green military uniform of the southern style, he looks tall and straight, and he also has the iconic handsomeness and coquettishness of the role of Yan Shaowu.

Beside him, the man in the black military uniform of the northern style had a calm expression on his face, and the expression on his sharp features was cold and gloomy.He was tall, half a head taller than Xue Qiao, who was tall and long-legged. He looked at the lake with his hands clasped, his right hand wearing a black glove nodding his left arm, and he looked calm and intimidating.

It's Ji Yan, not Ji Yan.

Qiao Mingxi looked at the two from a distance, his fingers were trembling, but he felt funny in his heart: the two people standing side by side were actually very similar to Ji Yan, whether it was the humorous and handsome Yan Shaowu, or the indifferent and gloomy Xiao Jue.

One is like the Ji Yan in front of people, and the other is like the real Ji Yan who took him eight years to see clearly.
