Chapter 192 A World of Cultural Discontinuity (14)
Another month passed, and the filming of the series was finally completed. After filming, it was handed over to the editor for editing. After the editing was completed and there were no problems, it was sent for review. After the review was approved, the series was officially launched.
Because of the smooth progress all the way, the drama was already broadcast in October. The 108-episode series was filmed in four months, which is nothing short of a miracle.
Wangyou and her roommates gathered in their dorm to watch the new drama. Since Wangyou wasn't in the drama, and she was already very familiar with the set, she was quite sleepy while watching.
“Forget-Me-Not, next time there’s something like this, could you consider me? I’ll do anything you want, even warm your bed!” my roommate Zhao Tiantian said playfully.
"I'll call you if there's anything suitable!" Wangyou didn't refuse; after all, who could refuse a beautiful woman's request?
Wangyou's dormitory is a mixed dormitory. Wangyou herself is a directing major, while the other three are acting majors. Moreover, all three are good people, and Wangyou will definitely consider her own people first if there is a suitable script.
Ever since the TV series started airing, Wangyou's phone has been ringing non-stop. When she opened it, sure enough, it was her high school classmates tagging her like crazy. The group chat was full of excited discussions. One person said that they saw themselves in her, another said that her makeup made her look like an old farmer. Anyway, it was very funny.
"I've made up my mind. I want to become a pilot too. The first batch of pilots in China were a group of rich kids. I want to be a rich kid like that too!" This is the declaration of a student who was admitted to a military academy.
Wangyou didn't participate; she just smiled and watched the discussion in the group.
Unsurprisingly, this "A Century of History" achieved a major breakthrough, premiering directly on CCTV and receiving praise from various official platforms. Wangyou Shiren became a hit even before leaving school.
While browsing a blog, Wangyou suddenly saw that archaeologists had unearthed some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions from an ancestor's tomb. After testing, they are still usable today, although much of the content is illegible.
Wangyou suddenly realized something: the traditional Chinese medicine in this world was extremely backward, something she had overlooked because she knew it herself.
However, Wangyou doesn't plan to go out and explain herself, because she can't explain it clearly. Filming dramas and writing scripts can be said to be her extraordinary talent, but there are very few people in the country who know traditional Chinese medicine. If she said she was proficient in it, she would probably be studied, although the possibility is not high.
Wangyou started rummaging through the things in his space and decisively found a few dream-entering talismans. Then he began his ingenious operation, sending the development process of traditional Chinese medicine to top medical experts in China through Duobao in the form of a dream. Of course, he didn't forget to prepare a copy for his mother as well.
For two consecutive months, these medical experts would be pulled into a small, dark room to study traditional Chinese medicine whenever they closed their eyes. The time spent there was basically constant, so two months was more than enough.
All that's left is the clinical trial. These bigwigs really care about the country. After they reported this to the government, the government quickly provided a solution, and traditional Chinese medicine began to enter clinical trials.
Since medical skills have been given, high technology should be given as well. Some bigwigs from the Academy of Sciences have started to experience what the previous medical bigwigs had gone through: being pulled into a small dark room every night to learn more advanced science and technology, including Wangyou's father and her brother Lin Duoduo.
Having finished all that, Wangyou felt she had accomplished a major task and began preparing a new script.
Wangyou was preparing to create a mythological drama. After some deliberation, she chose "Investiture of the Gods". Correspondingly, a wooden carving appeared on Wangyou's table.
"Sisters, I'm planning to film a mythological drama. Are any of you interested in participating?"
"Yes, of course!" The three girls surrounded Wangyou, massaging her shoulders and legs with great care.
"Then take a look at the script and pick a role you like." Wangyou showed the three of them the printed script.
Little did she know that these people were so engrossed in the script that they almost couldn't get out of it. Wangyou waited until the lights were turned off but they still didn't look up. She decided to go to bed first and not worry about it anymore.
When Wangyou woke up, she saw three heads on the headboard and was startled.
"Where have you three been? Your dark circles are so bad!"
"Wangyou, your script is so good, we couldn't resist reading it all night."
"Thank goodness it's the weekend, let's get some sleep and take care of our skin!"
"No rush, Wangyou, I don't know which role suits me, can you help me choose?" Zhao Tiantian was a little hesitant.
"Wangyou, do you think I could take on the role of Daji?" the stunningly beautiful and aloof woman excitedly asked Jiaojiao.
"I think Nezha is so interesting, but can girls play the role?" This is the lively and adorable Sun Zhizhi.
"Whether it works or not depends on your acting skills. You guys need to study your characters carefully. I need to wash my face, have breakfast, and work on the poster!"
"it is good!"
When Wangyou finished washing up, she found that her roommates had already ordered breakfast. Naturally, Wangyou didn't stand on ceremony. After eating, she urged them to take a nap, while Wangyou picked up her computer and started making audition posters.
The first wave will definitely be aimed at students from the Central Academy of Drama. After all, why go to the long way when there are readily available resources right in front of them?
Besides, none of the people who get into the Central Academy of Drama are bad-looking.
Wangyou created the poster and posted it directly on the campus network with the title: "New drama 'Investiture of the Gods' is holding auditions for actors. Those interested can apply."
Once the post was published, it was like dropping a bomb on the campus network, leaving everyone dizzy and disoriented. Then came a wave of jubilation, with everyone clicking on the registration form and starting to sign up. Even some school teachers joined in the fun.
Of course, it's also possible that they genuinely want to participate.
As soon as Wangyou posted the thread, she started drawing clothing designs. Given the available resources, Wangyou wanted high-quality clothing and props, but many fabric-making methods have been lost in modern society. Wangyou has some fabrics, but many conditions in modern society do not allow for their production.
As for the issue of fabric, she had been looking for suitable craftsmen since high school, but in today's society, there are really too few people who can embroider. In the end, she found an elderly woman in the mountains of Yunnan Province who embroidered ethnic costumes.
Their embroidery was already the best level Wangyou had ever seen in the world, but learning it was not something that could be accomplished overnight. For this reason, she specially sent a group of people to learn embroidery.
However, in most cases, they still have to rely on machines. But Wangyou plans to wait until those people sent to Yunnan Province have completed their studies before making some traditional Chinese clothing and establishing a professional brand.
But those things are still too far away, let's focus on the present first!
While her mind was racing with thoughts, her hands never stopped moving, and exquisite design drawings were born from her pen.
It's really a pity that we couldn't find suitable embroiderers, so in the end these patterns had to be printed on using technology. Although it's not as stunning as embroidered patterns, it's still much better than poorly made embroidery.
To prevent these clothes from getting dusty, Wangyou even spent time researching dyes, and she planned to make some of the more important garments herself.
