Wei Xiao feels that he is quite low-key both in life and work. The key is that the audience does not think so.
The top domestic director has produced works covering almost all themes that are popular among men, women and children, and has won almost all directing awards at home and abroad.
To describe it in one sentence, Wei Xiao is someone else’s director.
"Empress Yuan Zhao" is another large-scale historical plot drama that took him three years to create. The protagonist in the drama is the only empress in history who has achieved great success and has the highest popularity.
Therefore, even if he just posted a poster of the heroine as usual, even on a working day, there were still many people who were silently looking forward to paying attention to the party.
As a result, such a piece of news has become so popular that it can be seen with the naked eye only due to the spontaneous promotion of netizens.
It's just that when I saw such a big production, the female lead actress who was started was only Jiang Lingxi, who was not even a second-tier actress. She had been making a lot of scandals in the past. For a while, almost all the voices did not understand or accept it.
[Shocking my whole family, who is Jiang Lingxi? Is Director Wei crazy this time? Even if it’s not Xu Qingmei, She Man, Lin Qingxuan, anyone can do it, why did he find such a young actor! 】
[Jiang Lingxi can hold up the aura of the only empress in history. Stop making trouble. I suspect that the crew's account manager, Aite, is the wrong person. Please change it quickly. 】
[If you don’t accept Jiang Lingxi’s role as the Queen, please give me back to Her Majesty the Queen, whose majesty and majesty shock the world! 】
…
After a while, a different comment quietly appeared.
[Well, why don’t you click on the official promotional picture to take a look? It’s best to look at the eyes in the photo. 】
This comment was not very eye-catching among a lot of complaints and unfavorable comments, but because there were so many people discussing it, it was still noticed by many people, who clicked on the picture doubtfully in doubt.
The picture instantly enlarged and covered the entire phone screen.
The person who clicked on the picture was thinking about the comment he just saw. After scanning the magnificent background of the picture and the intensely colored vermilion dragon robe, he landed on the face in the photo that was half blocked by Mianqi. , when he met the pair of eyes looking through the gap in his crown, he subconsciously held his breath.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When he lowered his head, he saw that the hairs on his arms were still in a state of frizzy hair.
The moment he met the eyes in the photo, he really had the feeling that he was being quietly scrutinized by a pair of superior eyes. There were no waves in these eyes, but they instantly caused huge waves in his heart.
Until now, my scalp is still numb.
You know, this is just a photo.
I rubbed my arms, subconsciously clicked on the photo to save it, and then returned to the comment area, where I saw that there were suddenly more different comments.
[After I complained, I clicked on the photo and looked at it. Well, I apologize for my previous attitude. The look in the photo really scared me. 】
[Professional makeup artist, the actor’s lip color in the photo is actually light. I always thought that red lips have the strongest aura, so I posted it myself and attached two pictures for comparison. It turns out that the aura in the promotional photo is stronger. This kind of subverted my understanding. 】
There are many comments below this comment, one of which has the highest number of likes.
[This shows that the aura is not affected by the shade of the lip color. It should be covered by the person's aura. Even light-colored lips will not affect the actor's aura. 】
[I just searched for Jiang Lingxi’s early photos, and I’m asking everyone, is this really the same person as the one in the promotional photo? 】
Many people clicked on the picture out of curiosity and saw that the face in the photo was heavily made up and the lips were red. She was beautiful, but exaggerated and could not see any connotation.
Compared with the pair of eyes in the promotional picture that make people inexplicably afraid to look directly after taking one look at them, the appearance is similar, but the spirit in them is completely different.
[This, the temperament has changed too much! 】
[If I can achieve the effect in the photo when filming, I can’t wait to see it! 】
[I used to be a negative fan of Jiang Lingxi, but after Survival, I am now a casual fan. After watching the promotional video, I decided to trust Director Wei. With Director Wei’s character, he will definitely not choose actors blindly. Since Jiang Lingxi was chosen, there must be something special about her. 】
The strong contrast caused a new wave of strong comments.
Although there are still some who question the actors' acting skills, there are not as many objections as there were at the beginning.
This is just the effect caused by a promotional photo.
More than an hour passed unknowingly before anyone reacted belatedly.
[Why are there only promotional photos of the heroine? 】
[Yes, where is the male lead? Where are the second female lead, the second female lead, the third male lead, the second male lead, and the third male lead? 】
[There is another question. Empress Yuan Zhao did not appoint an imperial husband in her life, so who will the male protagonist be? 】
[Based on my experience in reading so many fanfics about the Empress, I blindly guessed that the male protagonist is Prime Minister Shen. 】
[Haha, I wanted to go upstairs with you. His Majesty Shen Qing must be doing his part. If it were any other role, I wouldn't accept it! 】
[According to Director Wei's usual habit, it seems that he will post one promotional photo a day. Today is the female protagonist's photo, and tomorrow it should be the male protagonist's promotional photo. 】
[You still have to wait a day. Let’s set special attention first. 】
[Is anyone blindly guessing who plays the male lead? 】
[I have guessed, but I think no one can play Shen Moqing. I am looking forward to a surprise from Director Wei. 】
[Looking forward to +1! 】

The incense in the big incense burner has quietly burned out.
The opening ceremony of "Empress Yuan Zhao" continued Wei Xiao's long-standing low-key style. No media, large or small, was invited to take photos, interviews and publicity. After it was held smoothly, the filming of the first scene started with great fanfare. Prepare.
Jiang Lingxi looked at the horse that was led by the staff.
This first scene is a big scene, a royal school martial arts competition.
Originally it was just a competition for princes to chase rankings so as to win recognition from their father. Emperor Yuan Zhao, who was still the Protector Princess, quietly signed up for the competition. On the day of the competition, she appeared at the school wearing a fiery red riding outfit and riding her red-blooded horse. In the martial arts field, he defeated all the brothers without saving any face.
The founding emperor of Dayin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had another headache, and reluctantly gave her the first place reward.
Big scenes require more actors.
In addition to several actors playing the roles of emperors and princes, there were also a large number of extras dressed as palace maids and bodyguards.
Other actors who participated in the opening ceremony but did not have a role in the first scene did not leave either, sitting in twos and threes on the edge of the filming location.
When Jiang Lingxi walked to the horse she was going to ride, she could feel several eyes falling on her back.
The first scene pays attention to a smooth beginning, and it means that the rest of the shooting will go smoothly.
Usually directors would choose a simple scene, but whoever asked them to direct it was Wei Xiao, who did the opposite.
Therefore, the pressure is placed on the heroine who takes the most shots.
That's her.
With so many people watching with scrutiny, the pressure increased sharply.
Even Wei Xiao frowned and gave orders one after another. His tense mood made the crew not dare to be lazy at all. Busy figures were everywhere.
Under the intense preparations and quiet scrutiny, Jiang Lingxi put on her back the bow and arrows that she would use later, reached out to take the reins, and got on her horse neatly amid a few small exclamations from the side.
He lightly kicked the horse's belly, and the big red horse raised its hoof and jumped forward suddenly.
