The title of the play "Above the Throne" is a story adapted from a popular romance novel. Although it sounds very powerful, the story is completely superficial in history without any textual research. The main line revolves around the love between men and women. The male second prince Su Che played by Su Xie It is also somewhat similar to the characters in "The Prosperous Tang" and "The Legend of the Imperial Concubine". They are also born noble, love the heroine deeply, and are willing to do anything for the heroine.

Although the setting is advertised as a costume drama with a strong female protagonist, Su Xie, who has read the script, feels that this is actually a mutant Mary Su drama under the banner of a strong female protagonist, or it is a water-filled version of "The Prosperous Tang Dynasty". ".

It is not very well-made, unlike "The Prosperous Tang Dynasty", which hired experts who studied the history of the Tang Dynasty as consultants in the film at the beginning of filming, instructing the actors on the correct etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and what kind of costumes the characters in the modeling design should be And hair accessories have been carefully researched.

"Above the Throne" is a water drama, but its salary is very high. The filming crew is a team from Hong Kong and Taiwan known for its efficiency, which means that its shooting time will be shorter, but the salary it earns is equivalent to that of Su Zhi in the first half of the year. half of the income.Su Xie could imagine that the producer would use his fame in "The Prosperous Tang Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Imperial Concubine" to make a publicity draft similar to "Liu Yuan and Su Xie perform with love, creating a legend of a prosperous dynasty again".

He Xiufeng negotiated the remuneration for playing the second male lead, Su Yan signed the contract, and then took a makeup photo. He only waited for the first wave of official announcements before he could join the filming crew.

But, who knew that the variables would come so quickly...

"The leading actor in "On the Throne" wants to change roles with you." He Xiufeng said;

"Ah?" Su Zhi, who didn't understand, made a monotone. He is the second male lead. Why would the person playing the leading role want to change roles with him?

"Wang Guangchuan, who played the male lead, knew from somewhere that although the role of the prince Su Che you played does not have as much presence in the novel as the male protagonist, the enemy's proton Wei Chiji, female readers of the novel like it more than the male protagonist Yu Chiji. Crown Prince Su Che, and then Wang Guangchuan's manager proposed to change roles with the crew."

The original romance novel "Above the Throne" because some readers liked the male second prince Su Che too much, asked the author to change the single ending to a double ending, giving the heroine and the prince Su Che an independent happy ending like a branch , but the author did not agree, the prince Su Che was cannon fodder, and the heroine finally got together with the enemy proton Wei Chiji.

"How to change?" Su Zhi frowned slightly, and if someone took away the fixed role, anyone would be upset if it was changed.What's more, Su Zhi signed the contract after reading the script.I know that in this drama, compared with the possessive and domineering love of the enemy's proton Wei Chiji for the heroine, the prince Su Che's affectionate and unrepentant love for the heroine is more popular with female audiences.

"The roles of the male protagonist and male number two remain unchanged. You play the role of the enemy's proton, Wei Chiji. You cut the role of Wei Chiji in the script and become the male number two. Wang Guangchuan plays the prince Su Che to add to this role. Change the ending so that the heroine is with Prince Su Che."

"Isn't this the same as changing the plot?" I don't know if the author of the novel will be so angry that he vomits blood when he finds out?

The contract has been signed but the role is still robbed, and Wang Guangchuan's agent dared to ask the crew to change roles, which also shows the current gap between Su Zhi and Wang Guangchuan. The crew is more willing to change the script roles to cater to the male protagonist Number one, Wang Guangchuan, let Su Xie make a compromise, or simply replace Su Xie, the male number two.

He Xiufeng could only try his best to analyze the pros and cons of Su Xie objectively and rationally, "Wang Guangchuan is a well-known drama bully, but he is more popular than you now, and the female number one in this drama is Liu Yuan, and there is "Above the Throne". I promise that if you are willing to change roles and play the role of Proton Wei Chiji, the salary can be increased a bit, which is a kind of compensation, do you think?"

Carrying the sedan chair for Xiaohua Liu Yuan is not derogatory here, because Xiaohua Liu Yuan's role as the female number one itself represents the exposure of the show's invisible existence and a large number of fan audiences.This is an opportunity that many young male artists want to act in but can't get. In the past, when Su Xie suddenly became popular after performing "The Secret Story of Him and Her", he also didn't have the opportunity to carry Xiaohua's sedan chair to act as a male actor. [-]. Qualifications.

Su Xie sighed, nodded and laughed at himself, "Let's act. At this time, I will carry the sedan chair for people in any play I play. The roles I play in the play are also cannon fodder destined to be given up by the heroine, at least "Above the Throne" The heroine of the show is Liu Yuan, and now even the salary that was originally negotiated has increased."

studio;

Su Xie went to the set and followed the makeup artist into the dressing room, and began to set and apply makeup according to the pre-made characters. After Su Xie put on the costume and put on the headgear, the heroine Liu Yuan who will be filming with him today still did not appear.The field manager pointed out a seat to Su Xie, and after Su Xie sat down, he began to wait for Liu Yuan to join the group.

An hour later, the director's face obviously began to show impatience. During this hour, he had asked his assistant to call Liu Yuan's manager countless times, and the answer he got was always that he was on his way.

It's summer, and the weather is starting to get hot. There is no air conditioner in the outdoor studio, and the fan is very limited when turned on to the maximum gear. Su Zhi, who is wearing an ancient costume and a wig, has been sweating for a long time, and feels that he will continue to wait. The costumes are about to smell bad.

At this time, he was very indifferent to the image and lifted the hem of the clothes to expose his legs. Only the upper body still maintained the appearance of a handsome man in ancient costumes, which made his assistant Hua Fang feel that he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

She said to Su Xie, "Drink some water."

Su Zhi didn't dare to drink more of the mineral water that Hua Fang handed over, but just sipped it, because it would be too troublesome to run to the toilet wearing an ancient costume after drinking too much water.

After waiting for two hours, Liu Yuan and her manager and assistant arrived late.When the manager saw the director, he immediately smiled, "Director Zhang is really sorry, our Liu Yuan is really too busy, and you also know that she is filming a second movie, and she just rushed over from another crew, and she didn't even drool. Time to drink."

In the past, if facing an artist who was two hours late for the set, even if she was the heroine, director Zhang Chengfeng would not hesitate to open his mouth and curse in Cantonese. Feng went north from Hong Kong to the Mainland to work as a director, filming "Above the Throne" to put it bluntly, just to earn money for a living.

Liu Yuan is one of the four most popular actresses in China, and his status is not lower than that of the director Zhang Chengfeng. The manager of the other party apologized, and all Zhang Chengfeng can do is to turn the big things into small things. He speaks with a Cantonese accent The mandarin said, "It's getting late, you guys hurry up and put on your makeup and start filming."

The agent nodded, and dragged Liu Yuan to the dressing room. After waiting for another four or ten minutes, Liu Yuan appeared in costume, and today's scene officially started shooting.

Su Xi tidied up his clothes and stood in the center of the shooting scene with Liu Yuan. The two were about to shoot the scene where the second male lead and the heroine met for the first time. The heroine's quick wit in a difficult situation attracted the attention of Yuchi, who was a proton in the state of Qi.

But Liu Yuan opened his mouth and fell silent after only half a line.

"Sorry, I forgot the words." He said he was explaining, but the expression on Liu Yuan's face did not show much apology.

The director called a stop, and Liu Yuan's assistant hurriedly took a parasol, a small fan, and the script, and came to her side to check the lines. After about 10 minutes, the filming continued. Unfortunately, it took 10 minutes and Liu Yuan didn't remember it. Complete lines, this scene is still NG.

This was repeated three times, and the director couldn't help saying, "What's going on? Didn't you memorize your lines before you came?"

Liu Yuan said, "Of course I memorized the lines, but I didn't have a good rest last night. The sun is too glaring now, and it's too hot to wear such a thick costume, which made me very uncomfortable, so I forgot the lines."

Everyone knows that Liu Yuan is lying with his eyes open, but so what?Just because she is the heroine of this drama, one of the four popular female roles, she is the biggest star in the whole crew.

The agent hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "Director Zhang, this, Liu Yuan has taken on five plays this year, four lead actresses, one cameo, and she just finished one play in the last two weeks. She is really busy, busy She can't rest well. Just now the makeup artist in the dressing room took a lot of effort to cover her dark circles. Please forgive me.

In this scene, Liu Yuan has too many lines. I don’t think so. Let’s switch to a scene where Liu Yuan has few lines and the second male lead. What do you think? "

Liu Yuan is well-known for her acting skills among the four young actresses. Her team also establishes her image in the entertainment industry with diligence and dedication. This year, Liu Yuan will prove that she is an actress in the entertainment industry with the next five plays. The desperate girl Saburo, but it is obvious that Liu Yuan, who has to work in dramas because of taking too many dramas, cannot adapt to this kind of high-intensity work. Now he made a low-level mistake of forgetting his lines.

Zhang Chengfeng slapped himself in the face with the script, and sighed helplessly, "You have said that, what else can you do, let's do it like this."

The manager grinned, "Thank you, director."

Zhang Chengfeng flipped through the script and said, "Then shoot scene No. 15. In this scene, Liu Yuan, you only have one line. At this time, the heroine is no longer the most humble slave, she is Yuchi's personal maid. The clothes and makeup on your body are wrong after changing your identity, immediately ask the makeup artist to change your look."

After a while, he added, "Liu Yuan, use the makeup time to ask your assistant to introduce the No. 15 scene and the other scenes to be filmed today." Obviously, he was afraid that something would happen to Liu Yuan again.

Zhang Chengfeng said to Su Xie again, "Su Xie, when Liu Yuan goes to make up, you should familiarize yourself with scene No.15 immediately."

Temporarily changing the shooting content, the director obviously did not have the same patience with Su Xie as he did with Liu Yuan.After the director explained, he immediately returned to the place where he could enjoy the shade and took a rest.Su Xie could imagine that if even he was NG, the director might take out the anger that had accumulated in Liu Yuan's place and could not be vented at him.

But all Su Yan could do was nod his head, trying to recall the content of the script he had read in his mind, and began to immerse himself in memorizing the script in his hand.
