Chapter 416 The Sickly Prince
Whether it is the sensational college entrance examination event or the gossip rumors about the movie emperor's retirement, in the busy daily life of ordinary people, they are just like the occasional splash of water on the calm water surface, which creates ripples and then quickly returns to calm.
With the end of final exams at all schools, summer vacation has officially arrived.
All major platforms also launched their own blockbuster dramas at this time in order to share the huge traffic during the summer vacation.
Among them is "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" starring Ruan Tang and Zhang Ting!
Netizens have been looking forward to this for a long time.
There’s no way, in the trailer that was aired before, Ruan Tang’s ancient costume look was simply amazing.
Coupled with the popularity of the top student in the college entrance examination, netizens can't help but develop a filter for him.
And "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" did not disappoint everyone.
On the first day of the show, the fast-paced plot made the audience exclaim with excitement.
[Although I came here for Ruan Tang, he was lying down the whole time, so our sister Ting is still the most domineering! ]
[It feels so good to get slapped in the face. I like to watch this kind of drama that is not aggrieved. 】
[To be honest, I used to watch the dramas about family feuds, where the heroine was abused the whole time, which made me feel suffocated. But this drama is more enjoyable. The beginning of the drama shows the stepmother being slapped in the face, and the way Sister Ting protects her husband is so cool! ]
[By the way, when will Prince Duan wake up? Otherwise, the pay for this Ruan Tang drama is too easy to get, and he can just lie there and sleep. ]
It’s no wonder that netizens have doubts, because in the first four episodes, the Prince Duan played by Ruan Tang was just a background board, and the whole show relied on Jiang Huangyi played by Zhang Ting.
But the original novel of "Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" is a drama with a strong female lead, so although the audience complained, they expressed their understanding.
It was just that Ruan Tang was given a nickname - "The King of Winning Without Any Effort", and even this term directly became a hot search.
To be honest, this nickname is well-deserved.
Just like netizens said, Ruan Tang was just lying there sleeping in the first four episodes, but he still became a hot topic.
The male and female protagonists in other popular dramas kissed each other so much that their skin was almost peeling off, but it didn't bring any heat to the topic.
In the end, the crew bought a hot topic in order to save face.
However, Ruan Tang did not lie down the whole time. In the fifth episode, the Prince Duan he played in the play finally regained consciousness under the treatment of his wife, Princess Duan Jiang Huangyi.
Netizens were looking forward to seeing Ruan Tang slaughtering all the enemies, but he turned out to be a sickly and delicate young man.
When the servants looked down on him, he pretended to be weak, which made Jiang Huangyi feel distressed and she taught the servants a lesson on his behalf.
When his royal brother came to humiliate him, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood, which frightened Jiang Huangyi so much that she filed a complaint to the emperor on his behalf.
When he met Jiang Huangyi's fiancé, he acted like a pretty boy again. While acting coquettishly with his wife, he did not forget to secretly throw dirty water on her.
Netizens who watched the drama were amused by his two-faced personality.
[Oh my god, Ruan Tang is such a good actor. His weak yet strong appearance really captured the essence of Little White Flower! ]
[When I saw him spitting blood because of being bullied by the eldest prince, I was so distressed that tears were about to flow. But then I was told that he was faking it, and that the blood was from biting his tongue. Great, great, it turns out that I am also a fool like the eldest prince.]
[I came to see the male lead showing off, but I didn't expect it was the female lead who was showing off, and the male lead is just a green tea! ]
[What green tea boy? He is clearly my good brother! ]
[This plot is too new. I have never seen such a male lead in the domestic entertainment industry. ]
[Ruan Tang is also very open-minded and can handle any role. ]
The subversive plot and characters of "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" made netizens' eyes light up again and again.
Ruan Tang's acting skills were once again recognized by netizens.
There were even many imitation videos of "Prince Duan" appearing online.
But not everyone can play the male version of "sweet girl". First of all, you have to be good-looking, and secondly, your actions and expressions cannot be greasy. It may be easy to say, but not everyone can grasp the balance in between.
The result is that most of the imitators failed, and netizens felt dizzy after watching those imitation videos, and strongly called on the real people to come out and perform.
Ruan Tang still dotes on his fans. Because he has to film a movie, he cannot participate in offline promotional activities, but he never misses any online drama promotion activities.
Seeing some netizens posting comments asking him to perform Prince Duan's classic green tea quotes, he almost got into the role in a second and made the audience laugh.
There is no doubt that "Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix" has become a phenomenal hit drama, and both the discussion among netizens and the overall playback volume of the drama are leading by a cliff.
Ruan Tang's popularity also soared to new heights. The number of his Weibo fans skyrocketed, making him the first male actor born after 00 in the entertainment industry to have over million fans.
"Brother Ruan, when will our scenes be aired?"
Ruan Tang had just finished the live broadcast when he received a call from Si Kang.
"I don't know, but according to the plot progress, it will be at least 20 episodes later."
Hearing his words, Si Kang immediately started counting on his fingers.
"Until next week!"
There was obvious disappointment in his voice, but what hit him even more was Ruan Tang's next words.
"I suggest you don't get your hopes up too much. Although the scenes at the Western Suburbs Racecourse took three days to shoot, after the editing is complete, it may not even be ten minutes long. Your scenes may only last a short while."
Sure enough, Scone's voice lowered a few notches.
"Well, I even had my mom squatting in front of the TV to watch my highlights."
That’s right, Si Kang and others also participated in the filming of “The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix”.
Because the director wanted to shoot scenes on the grassland, Ruan Tang recommended the Xijiao Horse Farm to him.
Not only is there a venue, but the horses are also ready.
Ruan Tang knew that some of the horses were everyone's private horses and he had not intended to borrow them.
But after Si Kang and the others knew about this, they all came over and not only generously lent their flattery, but also expressed their willingness to participate in the performance as a friendly group.
Even some company owners, such as Zhang Xin, said they could bring their own employees over for team building.
Director Wu was hesitant at first. After all, they were all rich second-generations who had never acted before. He was also difficult to manage them and was afraid of offending them.
As a result, Ruan Tang told them that the venue fee could be waived, and they could even be extras for free.
Director Wu immediately succumbed to the money and agreed.
Therefore, Si Kang and others happily served as extras, and Director Wu also happily saved a lot of expenses.
Later, seeing that these second-generation rich people were acting enthusiastically and not causing trouble, Director Wu even arranged lines for some of them with good acting skills.
For example, Si Kang played a messenger, Yang Jing played a deputy general, Song Xi played a grassland princess, and Shen Yue reluctantly played her maid.
Even Mo Jinchen, who came to visit the set, played an enemy general.
There was no choice, the director fell in love with the majestic Mo Feng at first sight.
But Mo Feng only listens to his master, and no one else can control him.
Ruan Tang could handle it, but he already had the wind chasing him.
This guy would get jealous. When he saw him riding on Mo Feng, he immediately became unhappy. He snorted at him and Mo Feng, and even butted Mo Feng with his head.
Mo Feng was good-tempered and just turned his head away.
