Chapter 59
: Li Binbin's "Young Justice Bao" Begins Filming
In December, filming for "Young Justice Bao" began at the Nanhai Film and Television City in Foshan, eastern Guangdong.
The South China Sea Film and Television City undertook the filming of several important scenes.
For example, Laiyi Pavilion is one of the iconic buildings in the drama.
In addition, Luzhou City, as the main urban setting of the story, is very important.
The production team recreated the prosperity of the ancient city by building a film studio, showcasing all the details such as streets and shops.
Because they have a lot of scenes to film, they will be staying here for a while.
Zhou Yan also met Zhou Jie on set, the actress who was later criticized so much that she had to leave the entertainment industry.
However, Zhou Jie is doing well now and hasn't yet faced a barrage of insults.
It was also during this drama that rumors circulated that Zhou Jie had offended Chen Daoming and was subsequently blacklisted by him.
"Teacher Chen," Zhou Yan said when she saw Chen Daoming.
"You must be Zhou Yan," Chen Daoming said, recognizing Zhou Yan.
"It's me," Zhou Yan nodded.
"I've heard Director Hu mention you before. You really are a young talent," Chen Daoming said with emotion, surprised that this kid had such a close relationship with Director Hu.
"Please provide more guidance for this drama, teacher."
"Just go ahead and act with confidence," Chen Daoming encouraged.
After leaving Chen Daoming, Zhou Yan found Li Binbin.
The female lead in this drama.
"Hello, Sister Binbin, I'm Zhou Yan," Zhou Yan said, taking the initiative to greet her.
"Hello," Li Binbin turned around, a fragrant breeze wafting around her.
Li Binbin is very beautiful, bright and elegant, and she becomes more charming with age; she has a sophisticated and elegant aura.
"You must be from Nanhua," Li Binbin said, looking Zhou Yan up and down with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"My pen name is Nan Hua. Do you know me?" Zhou Yan was taken aback.
"I've read your books," Li Binbin nodded.
Li Binbin had not only read Zhou Yan's books, but had also seen him in the news.
China's youngest million-copy bestselling author, the youngest martial arts novelist, and a future master of martial arts fiction, among other things.
While there may be some exaggeration involved, the book the other person wrote is indeed very good.
"Thank you for your support, Sister Binbin," Zhou Yan thought with delight.
It seems I made the right decision to write the book back then.
"Is a sequel to 【The Stormy Martial World】 coming out?" Li Binbin asked curiously.
The Shanghai People's Publishing House did a lot of publicity back then.
Even those who don't read wuxia novels are familiar with the "Stormy Jianghu" series.
"It will be officially published on New Year's Day," Zhou Yan could tell the other party with certainty.
A few days ago, he called the Shanghai Publishing House to inquire about the situation, and this is what the staff told him.
"Great! Then hurry up and write the third part!" Li Binbin encouraged.
I started writing on New Year's Day.
……
After some conversation, Zhou Yan became familiar with everyone.
"I heard you also have a martial arts background?" Shi Xiaolong asked Zhou Yan, his eyes full of curiosity.
At this time, Shi Xiaolong was not yet twelve years old and was very cute.
However, Shi Xiaolong had already passed his peak at this time. His peak was when he was filming "Shaolin Popeye," when he was really popular.
"I have studied martial arts for six years," Zhou Yan said, expressing his strong liking for Shi Xiaolong.
He was also one of the people he felt most sorry for.
Shi Xiaolong was very curious about Zhou Yan, asking him all sorts of questions.
Zhou Yan chatted with him patiently.
The opening episode of "Young Justice Bao" is titled "Fame Spreads Throughout the World"!
If you investigate further, you'll find a major bug!
According to the background information, the Northern Song Dynasty formed an alliance with Goryeo, and with the consent of the Goryeo king, he married his niece to Emperor Renzong, thus establishing a lasting alliance between the two countries.
The Goryeo delegation escorting the bride arrived in China and rested briefly in Luzhou. At this time, the Goryeo crown prince and the seventh prince who accompanied the delegation were killed one after another. This matter had a great deal to do with people, and the Eighth Prince was ordered to go to Luzhou to arrest the murderers. In the end, Bao Zheng found out the real culprit.
But there's a big problem here.
The Goryeo envoy escorting the bride did not need to pass through Luzhou at all.
The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was Kaifeng.
Goryeo was north of Kaifeng, while Luzhou was south of Kaifeng.
Even if Goryeo lands by sea, they can do so from Shandong or Tianjin.
There is absolutely no need to detour through Luzhou.
It's important to know that Luzhou is nearly 500 kilometers from the coastline.
Furthermore, it does not align with historical facts.
After the Treaty of Chanyuan, the Song and Liao dynasties made peace. As a vassal state of the Liao dynasty, Goryeo needed the Liao's consent to attack the Song dynasty.
The marriage alliance between the Northern Song Dynasty and Goryeo would never have happened!
After Zhou Yan finished her makeup, she began her performance.
He was dressed like a scholar, a refined gentleman, gentle and elegant, and you could not tell at all that he was a martial arts practitioner.
Gongsun Ce fought against three opponents simultaneously, competing in chess, couplet writing, and riddle solving.
"Okay, cut," the director said, glancing at the performance on the monitor and nodding in satisfaction.
"Okay, passed."
"Next scene!"
……
The filming proceeded smoothly.
The first unit did not include any scenes featuring Shi Xiaolong, so Shi Xiaolong was happy to be free.
The first unit features a number of characters, including Shen Liang played by He Zhonghua, Ling Chuchu played by Li Binbin, the Eighth Prince played by Chen Daoming, and Bao's mother played by Zheng Peipei, among others.
The crowd stood on the periphery watching Zhou Yan's performance, pointing and commenting.
Zhou Yan discovered that Zhou Jie was excessively strict with herself, even to the point of being "obsessed".
During filming, he even publicly pointed out that Chen Daoming's acting was wrong, and the two went from being unwilling to give in to each other to getting red in the face.
"Now I finally understand why there were rumors that she was blacklisted by Chen Daoming," Zhou Yan said, watching Zhou Jie and Chen Daoming argue, her heart filled with emotion.
No one could persuade him otherwise!
Three people, there must be my teacher.
During filming, Zhou Yan learned from everyone, especially Chen Daoming, Wang Huichun, Zheng Peipei, and others.
A famous "Emperor Kangxi", a renowned "Eighth Prince", and a well-known "Madam Hua"!
Zhou Yan learned a lot from them.
Soon, they filmed scenes featuring "Ling Chuchu".
Li Binbin has no background in martial arts and knows absolutely nothing about action scenes.
He broke his leg during the first shoot.
Li Binbin didn't dare to cry, and immediately got up to continue the patting after the medicine was applied.
As a result, he was hit in the forehead by another arrow.
"You can't do it this way," Zhou Yan said helplessly, and then gave Li Binbin on the spot.
"You can do without anything else, but you must pay attention to your positioning and dodging, and avoid getting injured again," Zhou Yan reminded him.
Li Binbin really has absolutely no background knowledge.
They won't even try to dodge.
"Thank you, I understand," Li Binbin said gratefully.
Under Zhou Yan's guidance, Li Binbin made rapid progress.
Director Hu Mingkai only remembered that Zhou Yan was a "National Wushu Champion" when he saw this scene, and that he was very skilled.
He was promptly given a task: to instruct Li Binbin on his fight scenes.
Zhou Yan also accepted the task.
"I've heard Ren Quan mention you before, but I didn't expect you to be so good at kung fu," Li Binbin said to Zhou Yan during a break.
"You know Brother Ren Quan?" Zhou Yan pretended not to know.
"Yes, we know each other. We're classmates and good friends," Li Binbin said. He and Ren Quan have a very good relationship.
"What did Brother Ren Quan say about me?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.
"He said you're tall and handsome, and good at martial arts. He even gave him martial arts instructions on set. Oh, and he also said you're very popular with women," Li Binbin said with a smile.
