Chapter 376: Hidden Villa

Chapter 376: Hidden Villa
The villain roles played by these veteran actors are too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Xiu Qing’s role as the most handsome and most determined villain Murong Fu in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is definitely a classic that is hard to surpass.

I won't say much about Liu Yajun. The label of "King of Villains" is not just a joke. Not only does he have good acting skills, he also plays villains in a way that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He is definitely a professional villain.

Just to name a few well-known villain characters, Wang Bailin, Yang Xingquan, Chen Li, Qi Zhen, Yang Fan, Wang Tianfeng...!

Zu Feng’s role as Li Ya in “The Disguiser”, a character that makes people hate him to the core, was so impressive that he felt uncomfortable when he changed his role to play a decent guy, and began to doubt whether he had any hidden identity.

Li Xiaoran has played relatively few villains, but the crazy beauty Li Yunrui in "Joy of Life" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the play, she is a vicious and cruel person who likes to play power games and is a bit psychologically twisted and perverted.

Liu Hua, who plays Dao Ge in "Crazy Stone", said that his career is on the rise, so be careful that Fei Jie may use the "Red Sleeves Poison" on you!
After dinner, Lin Hao distributed the complete script to everyone and said:
"Okay, now we have some free time. You can take a tour of the villa, and then we will have the script reading tomorrow!"

Script reading, also known as script reading aloud, refers to the creative process in which the director, screenwriter, leading actor and other staff members gather together for a meeting to review the script from beginning to end before the filming of a film or TV series officially starts.

The biggest purpose of script reading is to find out the omissions and fill them in, because from script to shooting, it is a process from two-dimensional paper to three-dimensional scene, and it is also a process from the screenwriter working alone to the collaborative work of various departments.

This process cannot be seamless without the script reading session.

Because during the script reading, through the rehearsal of the script by various departments including the actors, we can find many contents that were not perfected in the script stage due to the limited space and expression of the text.

Although Lin Hao had filmed in other worlds before, these people in front of him had not, so a script reading was still necessary.

"As for the newcomers, you can pick your own residence. You can choose any unoccupied room in the whole villa!"

After arranging issues for the actors and other staff, Lin Hao went to take care of other things. Fortunately, the entire filming location was in the villa, which was his own territory, which could reduce a lot of trouble!

However, publicity matters must be prepared in advance. It is impossible to wait until the TV series is finished before starting publicity, as by that time the opportunity will be lost.

And since Lin Hao has invited these veteran actors, it would be a loss if he doesn't broadcast this drama on TV.

Especially this drama, it is the first drama prepared for my sister to debut. If she debuts by filming a web drama, the mark of the web drama will be difficult to wash away, and it will be more bumpy if she wants to go the route of TV dramas in the future.

Don’t say it’s the same on every platform. The problem is that it’s really different on different platforms. Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, the level of those filming online dramas is lower than those filming TV dramas.

However, it is not a difficult task for Lin Hao to operate the program on satellite TV. He is just considering which platform is best for broadcasting it.

······
At night, in the accommodation area of ​​the villa, Lin Fei and her two roommates were questioning Lin Fei.

Just like boys talking about girls in the dormitory, girls also inevitably talk about boys, and they are more explosive than boys.

"Fei Fei, I didn't expect you to hide it so well. Your brother is so young and handsome, why doesn't he have a girlfriend?"

"Didn't I tell you before that we broke up?"

Then, looking at her two girlfriends in confusion, Lin Fei's heart suddenly moved, and the jokes she had made with Lin Hao before came to her mind again, so she said meaningfully:
"Why are you asking about this? You don't want to be my sister-in-law!"

"What are you talking about! I'll tear your mouth apart after reading this..."

Looking at the two anxious people, Lin Fei immediately understood that these two people might really have such thoughts. They have been best friends and roommates for several years, so who doesn’t know each other?

"I mean it······!"

"Still saying~!"

After the three girls had a fight, Liu Meitong said with envy:

"Honestly, your brother and your father look too young! And your mother looks no more than 30 years old! Your family has such great genes!"

Li Qing thought of Lin Hao's performance in the car today and said enviously.

"Yes! You said before that your brother is almost 30, but he looks no more than 20. The key is that your brother not only has a sharp vision, but also has an extraordinary temperament!"

"It's like a glass of mellow liquor. Only by savoring it carefully can you understand its true meaning and recall its refreshing aroma."

After reacting, Li Qing immediately covered her mouth. How could she blurt out her true feelings?
In fact, Lin Fei had intended to introduce Liu Meitong or Li Qing to her brother, but today her brother saw that there might be something going on between Liu Meitong and Wang Yang, so he naturally gave up the idea!
At this time, Lin Fei also saw Li Qing's thoughts and seemed to be very interested in her brother, so she stuck to Li Qing and tried:

"Why! Are you jealous? Look at my brother. If you two get together, you will be the only one to enjoy his handsome face!"

Li Qing pushed Lin Fei's face away and said with disdain:
"Get your dog face out of the way! It's annoying just looking at me! Who do you think I am?"

Then, I don't know what he thought of, his face flushed, and he began to change the subject:

"Oh~ By the way, Tongtong, what's going on between you and Wang Yang~!"

"What could be going on!" Then he said to Lin Fei: "By the way, Fei Fei, could your brother have seen it wrong? I never felt that Wang Yang was interested in me!"

Lin Fei also realized at this time that Liu Meitong seemed to have feelings for her brother as well, or at least she was not disgusted with him, so she did not say anything final.

"Maybe it's unrequited love!" Then Lin Fei said to her two girlfriends, "Should we practice for the scene we're going to shoot tomorrow?"

"Okay~!"

······
next day
The new crew needed some time to get used to each other, especially since some of them were not real insiders. But under Lin Hao's coordination, no major problems arose.

Not to mention that Lin Hao had been a director in other worlds for this shoot, even if he had never done it in reality. However, with the commanding ability honed in other worlds, he was able to control the entire crew. The emperor, the boss, the spy chief, which one had an easier job than the director.

At this time, Lin Hao looked at everyone and said:
"Okay, since we arrived one after another, I will give you a brief summary of the story."

"In a nutshell, it's a story about a group of veteran players and a few newbies fighting monsters in a secret place in a mountain villa!"

This drama is an ensemble drama, with five teachers playing the guardians. Each of them has his or her own highlight moment. Although the five protagonists appear throughout the whole drama, the meaning of their existence is to dig into one person's past and then connect the entire drama!
This was also what Lin Hao did deliberately. There are too many stars in the entertainment industry who are incompetent and cannot be popular even if they are forced to be promoted. It would be better to be down-to-earth and give them a brilliant role!

"This is the core of our drama. In addition to fighting monsters, love, friendship and family ties will also be extended!"

Thinking of the current domestic entertainment dramas, Lin Hao couldn't help but complain:
"Everyone knows that many dramas nowadays have a problem. They force the pairings and develop the relationship even though there is clearly no CP feeling. It makes people feel extremely awkward."

"So our drama has to go against the routine, or return to the normal emotional development route, through which the main actors fight monsters together, get to know each other, help each other, support each other, and finally develop feelings for each other."

"In portraying emotions, we piled up countless small details to accumulate emotions to a certain extent, and then started to show the sweetness, instead of forcing the development of emotional drama!"

After setting the tone, everyone started reading the script together for the next ten days. During this period, other groups also made preparations.

For example, props, green screens, cameras, etc., in fact, there are things that were prepared even earlier, that is, Lao Pi's special effects. The monster models were made before shooting, and even some of the villain's scenes were filmed.

Of course, makeup is indispensable. After all, in addition to the plot, the biggest highlight of Lin Hao's drama is his appearance, appearance, and damn appearance!
Whether it is the five protagonists or the guardians played by five veteran actors, appearance is fighting power!

······
Lin Hao picked up the small loudspeaker and shouted:
"All unrelated personnel please evacuate the filming site immediately. All departments please pay attention. The first scene of Shenyin Villa, accidentally entering Shenyin, begins!"

Because the filming started according to the timeline, we started directly from the first scene. The first scene was where the protagonists, played by Lin Fei and several of her classmates, accidentally entered the Shenyin Villa by chance!
As soon as they entered the villa, they discovered a shocking scene: five masters played by veteran actors were besieging a huge monster.

However, these five veteran actors were rejuvenated by Bobo using her magical makeup skills, which can be called head-changing. They all look like handsome men and beautiful women!

As soon as the protagonists came in, they were discovered by several people. At this time, the second brother played by Xiu Qing reminded them:

"Don't be distracted, focus on dealing with the monsters, we can deal with these people later!"

When he said these words, his expression was so cold that I thought he was a villain!
The other four people also regained their composure and discovered that the monster seemed to have found the entrance and exit of the villa through the protagonists, so they rushed directly towards the protagonists.

Seeing this, the third brother, played by Liu Yajun, said expressionlessly: "Use your ultimate move!"

As he spoke, he took out eight command flags, which instantly flew to eight directions and formed a hemispherical cover.

The fourth sister, played by Li Xiaoran, said nothing, but took out a jade pendant and silently injected spiritual power into it in preparation.

The sixth brother played by Zu Feng said unwillingly: "If the eldest brother was here, I think ~!"

Seeing his second brother looking at him, the sixth brother immediately shut up, took out a jade sword and injected spiritual power into it!
Lao Wu, played by Liu Hua, sighed and said, "That's the only way!"

As he spoke, he gathered his energy in his palms and appeared in front of the monster like lightning, roaring:
“It’s too late to reverse the situation!”

Then the monster was instantly pushed into the center of the shield prepared by the third brother!

The next scene directly shocked the protagonists who had just entered.

It turned out that after the monster was pushed into the protective shield, the five masters each took out an item and combined them into a giant arrow with great power.

While these five people were rapidly transmitting spiritual energy, the protagonists discovered that the five people who were handsome men and beautiful women just now were rapidly aging!
Before the five protagonists could react, the giant arrow absorbed enough spiritual energy and then pierced the monster.

"Boom boom boom~!" After a loud bang, only half of the monster's body was left, and the aftermath of the explosion also knocked out several protagonists!

When filming reached this point, the first episode was completed, which mainly reflects the first highlight moments of the five guardians, and the main roles are also focused on them!
The content of the second episode is that the five have not woken up yet, and the five guardians are discussing something around them.

The fifth brother, Liu Hua, always had his own ideas and immediately suggested:
"Second brother, why don't we keep them here first and let them help us fight some monsters to relieve us a little bit of the burden!"

After hearing what Liu Hua said, the third, fourth, and sixth brothers were all interested, but Xiu Qing was a little hesitant.

At this time, the fourth brother Li Xiaoran took out the jade pendant and said, "I just tried it, and these people have good personalities!"

So the second brother Xiuqing, looking at Li Xiaoran who was quite expectant, felt softened in his heart and nodded in agreement!
After the five protagonists woke up, they realized that this was a secret place after hearing the explanation from Lao Liu, played by Zu Feng.

There is an unstable passage in the secret realm, and from time to time, demons or monsters from other worlds will rush into the secret realm.

Therefore, this passage was sealed by our ancestors, and the secret realm was used to isolate the connection between the outside of the passage and reality, but occasionally monsters would come in unintentionally.

And they are the guardians who have been stationed in this secret realm for decades. They are specifically responsible for killing the devils and monsters that have strayed in and maintaining peace in the real world. Otherwise, if these devils are allowed to get out, reality will inevitably be devastated!
At this time, Lao Wu, played by Liu Hua, said:

"In the past, we would send people like you who accidentally entered the secret realm from reality out directly, but~!"

The five protagonists knew that this was an opportunity. From what he said, there was a possibility of staying, so they looked at Liu Hua expectantly:

"But what?"

At this time, Liu Hua did not keep the secret and said directly:
"It was a monster that came out this time. It was quite powerful. The five of us were also injured and need to rest for a while. According to the usual rhythm, no monsters will break in in the short term."

"But from time to time, some monsters will break in. If you want to stay, you will need to kill them!"

After hearing this, they realized that the seniors who did not look like good people were actually good people in the true sense, and they all expressed their willingness to stay and protect the peace in the real world!
