China Entertainment’s top actors

June.

Daiyue went to Magnolia for a while, and in the end he just won an award for outstanding TV series. Then he hurried back to the crew of"Ancient" to complete the final scenes. After accepting the interview, he rushed to the other side of Hengdian without stopping,"Mirror City" The stylist has been waiting for her for a long time.

No, it can no longer be called"Mirror Two Cities", it must be called"The Legend of Mirror Lake".

Cang Yue, the original author, did not have a say in the film and television adaptation, and it was Hai Yan who finalized the draft. Both of them wrote novels, but their styles were very different.

Cang Yue's original work has a magnificent and imaginative style, various settings that make people dizzy, and the emotional entanglements of the characters are complicated. If you just read the novel, it will be very interesting, but it will be too difficult to make it into a TV series, and there are all kinds of cruelty and darkness in the original work. The plot, including eye-gouging, sarcoma dissection, race enslavement, male protagonists sleeping with each other and killing each other, as well as the Nationalist Army, genocidal hatred, class conflicts, etc., Optoelectronics' side could not pass the review at all.

However, Haiyan's style is more realistic, leaning towards drama, and yearning for loyalty, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. Just look at her"Nirvana in Fire". Although Mei Changsu's setting is a bit unreasonable, his efforts to clear the names of soldiers who died unjustly and his pursuit of fairness and justice make this drama higher in core themes than other dramas, which is why its evaluation is higher than that of"The Legend of Zhen Huan" reason.

The collision between these two people can be said to be sparks flying. If Fang Ying hadn't decided on a screenwriting team with Hai Yan as the mainstay, the script might have been stretched for a while.

Haiyan's adaptation is also very thorough, abandoning the flashy settings in the original work and leaving only the core character relationships. Of course, this drama is still a fantasy drama in the final analysis, and Haiyan also made concessions in his own style.

In the end, except for the relationship between the characters, it can be said that everything else has nothing to do with the original work. Cang Yue no longer recognizes her own mother. Fang Ying and Li Muge also realized this, so"Mirror Twin Cities" was directly renamed"The Legend of Mirror Lake".

After the script was finalized, the crew started working under the supervision of Fang Ying and Li Muge.

Li Muge took the team to shoot scenes in China. There is a mountain with a strong presence in the original work called Tianqian. Haiyan felt that the name was more like an adjective than the name of a mountain, so he changed it to Kunlun, which is more familiar to the audience.

Kunlun is set as the highest mountain. Li Muge originally wanted to go to Tibet to shoot Everest, but considering altitude sickness and financial issues, he chose to shoot in Qinghai. There are Kunlun Mountains and Qinghai Lake here, with rich terrain. There are deserts, lakes, snow-capped mountains, and grasslands.

With sufficient funds, Li Muge took people to the designated location to build the scene. It can be said that the live shooting was taken to the extreme. Fang Ying felt very painful when she saw the rapidly shrinking wallet.

On the other hand, Chen Tongxun, the stylist of"Legend of Mirror Lake", also racked his brains for character styling.

According to the setting of a fantasy drama, he can use a lot of gauze materials to express a fairy-like feeling. However, Haiyan has set the tone of the script to a serious drama mode, so the costume materials cannot be too frivolous, and the filming Being located in Qinghai, the issue of thermal insulation must be considered in the plateau and mountainous areas. On these basis, Fang Ying also proposed to retain the fantasy color. So, how to maintain a balance between drama and fantasy has become the most important issue.

He spent a lot of time on styling, working hard on clothing, accessories, and hairdressing, and finally came up with a plan that satisfied both Fang Ying and Li Muge.

Li Qin, who plays Bai Ying, and Zheng Yecheng, who plays Qi Lan, joined the set early to try on makeup, while Dai Yue had to be postponed due to schedule reasons. Now that they finally arrived, Chen Tongxun breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a setting of a shark in this drama, but because the sharks walk on the ground, it is difficult to distinguish them from humans, so Chen Tongxun suggested that the hair of the sharks be made blue.

Fang Ying disagrees, because there are many extras, and wearing blue hoods for all is too expensive and unrealistic. Haiyan changed the eyes of the shark to blue, so he used the money to buy blue contact lenses.

However, cosmetic contact lenses also have limitations. When shooting eye scenes, they will look hollow. Daiyue cannot use them as the lead actor.

When Chen Tongxun was distressed, he went to the crew of"Ancient Times" to meet Dai Yue. When he saw her beautiful black hair, his eyes lit up and he proposed to let Dai Yue dye her hair blue to distinguish Somo as the King of the Sea from other sharks..

Dai Yue nodded in agreement without saying a word.

Haiyan then revised the setting again: Somo had black hair and black eyes before he was separated into men and women. After reincarnation, his hair turned blue and he awakened as the true Emperor of the Sea.

The adapted script is as follows:

Emperor Yong was a wise man in his youth, but later he became obsessed with the way of immortality. Following the advice of his old master Yu, he captured a large number of sharks in the sea in order to find the legendary shark beads to extend his life.

The emperor who was addicted to Taoism became more and more stupid after ten thousand years, which led to the ruin of the government and the prevalence of hedonism. At this time, the northern Ice Tribe was eager to annex several cities in the northern part of Yong Kingdom.

At this time, the old master came out again, hoping to save the world.

The old emperor sobered up a little under the pressure of the old imperial master. He realized that he was unable to restore the status quo, and he did not want to bear the reputation of a subjugated king, so he wanted to pass the throne to his illegitimate son Qi Lan who was raised outside and give him A princess with a distinguished background was chosen as a support, namely Bai Ying, the daughter of the Bai family.

Bai Ying studied with the sword master in Wanjian City in the east since she was a child. After receiving the marriage proposal from the emperor, she returned from the east. On the way, she encountered a fleet escorting the sharks north.

On the Grand Canal, she met Somo for the first time.

Somo was a handsome boy who had not been separated into men and women. He was caught in Biluohai in the south. Merchants transported Somo to the capital of the Yong Kingdom in the north through the Grand Canal. He wanted to present it to King Qing. He tried to escape, but was always blocked by the Grand Canal's many passes.

Bai Ying saw that Somo was trapped in a cage, and the situation was very similar to her own, so on a dark rainy night, she pointed Somo to another waterway and let him go.

However, the flood broke out that night, and Somo returned to save others, but was caught again. After entering the capital, Bai Ying followed her parents to the Qing Prince's Mansion as a guest. When she saw Somo being beaten, she asked the Qing King for help and rescued the Bai Mansion.

Bai Ying is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She is proficient in poetry and swordsmanship. She is the only female disciple of the Sword Master. She wants to become a female general, but due to etiquette and her father's obstruction, she cannot go into battle to kill the enemy.

In order to return home, Sumo chose to cut off his tail and turn his legs, and then learned human language from Baiying. He was very grateful to Baiying for his intelligence, and Sumo's beautiful appearance and kind and tenacious character made Baiying heartbroken and fell in love with him. Fall in love with this shark boy and keep him by your side at all times.

Bai Ying's father was strict with Bai Ying. When he saw that Bai Ying was attracted to Su Mo, he thought that Su Mo was too handsome and deliberately seduced his daughter into a high position, so he found an excuse to lock Su Mo in the dungeon.

At this moment, the Northern Ice Tribe broke through Yong's defense line and took the capital. The nobles and troops fled south one after another, while the sharks and the common people who had difficulty walking were left in the north. Baiying couldn't find Sumo, so she was forcibly taken away by her father and fled to the south.

The Ice Tribe occupied the north, and Somo once again became the plaything of the nobles. Unwilling to accept his fate, he gathered a group of sharks and Yong people, planning to move along the river, cross the Kunlun Mountains, and go to the south.

The sharks were very fast in the water, but after landing, the hard ground cut into the soles of their feet like a knife. Going south must pass through the Kunlun Mountains. The slow-walking sharks were soon abandoned by humans and trapped at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

The sharks found rare peace in the Kunlun Mountains and were unwilling to move forward.

Somo no longer had illusions about human beings and was very disappointed with the sharks who refused to move forward. He decided to climb over the Kunlun Mountains and return south to Biluohai.

After winter, Somo's soft soles were cut with blood by the cold stones. The wind and snow in the Kunlun Mountains made his body stiff and he was about to freeze to death in the mountains. Under the guidance of the Fairy Deer of Kunlun Mountain, he hid in a cave, captured prey with the sword skills Bai Ying taught him, and spent the cold winter with difficulty.

As soon as the weather warmed up, Sumo dragged his heavy body over the Kunlun Mountains. When he saw the first ray of spring sunshine, he was exhausted and passed out. At this time, he was caught by humans again and taken to the Colorless City in the south. For a slave in the slave market.

Prince Qing wants to destroy the marriage between Prince Qi Lan and Bai and make his daughter the crown princess.

When King Qing saw Somo who was still disobedient to discipline among the new slaves bought by the housekeeper, he immediately thought of the erotic news about Bai Ying and Somo that had spread in the Bai Mansion before going south, so he sent Somo to the palace.

As the quasi-Crown Princess, Bai Ying was left in the palace to prepare for her wedding. When she saw Sumo again, her suppressed emotions burst out again. When she saw that Soma was seriously injured, she left him in an uninhabited cold palace nearby and took care of him from time to time.

Sumo continued to have a fever and his body was very fragile. He was disillusioned with human beings and believed that Baiying was hypocritical and was just infatuated with his appearance. Like other nobles, he regarded him as someone who could be thrown away at any time.plaything.

The old emperor was extravagant. During his southern tour, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a towering mirror tower on Mirror Lake in Colorless City, hoping to live in the sky.

After moving south, Colorless City became the new capital, and the Mirror Tower became the new symbol of the royal family. The wedding of Qi Lan and Bai Ying will be held here. Just before the wedding, a palace official reported that the Crown Princess was having an affair with Somo, shocking both the government and the public.

Soma was brought to the crowd for confrontation. Looking at the different expressions of the humans in front of him, he knew that no matter what he said, he would not escape death today. At this time, the resentment and anger in his heart could not be increased.

Thinking of the accusations made by Bai Ying's father against him when he was in the north, he sneered, pointed at Bai Ying and said,"It was your crown princess who seduced me!"

Looking at the gloomy Sumo, Bai Ying did not refute and admitted that she liked it. Soma.

Prince Qi Lan grew up on the grassland, free and easy. After being established as the crown prince, he was restricted by rules and was very uncomfortable with it. He always thought Bai Ying was a dull and boring woman who obeyed etiquette. Now when he saw her admitting frankly that she had no regrets, he changed his view on her.

Anyway, Sumo didn't transform into a man and a woman, and the two of them didn't make any substantial exceptions. Qi Lan stepped forward to save the two of them, and the wedding was held as usual.

Before the wedding, Bai Ying asked Qi Lan to take her to meet Su Mo. Seeing Shartong who was still not reincarnated, Bai Ying understood something in her heart. Knowing Sumo's situation, she begged Qi Lan to spare Sumo's life, and then told Sumo,"Remember to forget", then turned around and jumped off the mirror tower.

The marriage between the prince and the Bai family was annulled. Although Sumo, the culprit, survived, he was thrown to Kunlun Mountain to fend for himself.

Led by the Kunlun Mountain Immortal Deer, Somo moved forward in the wind and snow. It was also at this time that Somo began to transform, and his love and regret for Baiying broke through the constraints of thoughts and emotions, burning his body - he awakened the power of the Sea Emperor and became a male.

He did not follow the sharks who came to him to the shark tribe at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. Instead, he traveled around looking for a way home.

Years of walking made him adapt to using the soft soles of his feet to touch the ground, and he walked all the way to the north.

There, he rescued an old man in his sixties, Yuan Wang, who was dressed in rags and made a living by performing puppet shows.

In fact, Yuan Wang was from the same sect as the old national master and was a master of puppetry. Because he did not want to flee south, he stayed in the north. He did not want to help the Ice Tribe court, so he remained anonymous and relied on puppet shows among the people to make a living.

Somo's ups and downs experience and his continued kindness moved him. Yuan Wang passed on what he had learned throughout his life to Somo and gave him a puppet before his death.

Sumo looked at the silk threads on the puppet's torso and seemed to see himself, so he cut off the silk threads on the puppet's hands and sealed his love for Bai Ying inside.

The puppet came to life and gained simple consciousness. Somo named it Sunuo.

Somo took Sunuo to travel in the north, and learned superb magic during this period.

As he walked, all living beings showed various expressions, and the heat and coolness of the world slowly unfolded in front of him like a picture scroll. He walked all the way to the east and went south along the coastline to Biluohai, but that place was already occupied by demons and was no longer the beautiful home he remembered.
