While Xiang Nan was recording the single "YEAH!!", he received a guest appearance in the British drama "Enemies in Pairs".
??This drama is modeled after the popular American sitcom "Friends" and also tells the story of three men and three women.
?The unique British humor makes this drama full of laughter, and it is quite good in both word-of-mouth and ratings.
NBC even considered using this series to replace the upcoming Friends.
But unfortunately, the pilot episode they produced completely copied the original version, which greatly disappointed the audience. In the end, the plan could only be announced to be scrapped.
Xiang Nan knew that although the British looked at them as gentlemen, they were actually even more funny than Americans.
He has watched the British drama "Yes, Minister!" ”, “Yes, Prime Minister! ", "Black Bookstore", "Mr. Bean", "IT Man" and other British comedies, the comedy skills are indeed more advanced.
He was also interested in guest starring in "Enemies", but he didn''t expect why the crew would invite him.
…
"I recommended it to you." Rhodes explained to Xiang Nan.
“Why do you want to do this?” Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.
“It’s all about publicity,” Rhodes said. “This show is very popular right now. You can make a guest appearance, just to boost your reputation and expand your influence. It’s just a sitcom, so you don’t need high acting skills.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan nodded in agreement, and then went to the set of "Enemies in Pairs".
After arriving at the set, I met with the producer, director and several leading actors. Then Xiang Nan received the script and began to read it with everyone.
The process of filming is generally like this: the screenwriter first proposes an idea, and after the producer approves it, the screenwriter officially starts writing the script.
After the script is written, it is submitted to the producer for review. After the review was approved, the main crew members began to read the script around. This is done to clarify the story, become familiar with the characters, and increase tacit understanding.
??If there are any logical inconsistencies, the characters are not well understood, or you have questions about the plot, you can raise them in time and the screenwriter will seize the time to make corrections. After passing the audition, the next step will be rehearsal, and then the official recording.
?Through reading the script, Xiang Nan found that the role he was assigned was quite important. This couldn''t help but make him very happy.
However, other cast members’ views on Xiang Nan were not too positive.
They are worried that Xiang Nan, as a singer, specializes in singing and may not be good at acting. And the role he plays is so important, if he doesn''t perform well, he may hold back the crew.
Xiang Nan was sensitive to everyone''s emotions, so he tried to keep a low profile and secretly determined that he would use his own strength to let them know how powerful he was.
…
The next day, Xiang Nan returned to the crew of "Enemies in Pairs" and officially participated in the rehearsal.
As soon as the rehearsal began, Xiang Nan’s performance made everyone in the crew shine.
Originally, everyone thought that as a singer, it was his first time filming in addition to MVs, so his performance would definitely be poor.
Don’t tell me how to perform, I’m afraid I may not even remember the lines.
??But what they didn''t expect was that Xiang Nan not only memorized the lines, but also had no problem with his expressions and movements.
?I dare not say that my acting skills are superb or top-notch, but it is also very skillful and brilliant. To be honest, it''s no worse than what these people showed.
This makes them feel incredible.
You must know that many of these actors have loved acting and studied acting since childhood.
It seems that the protagonist Jack Davenport (Commodore Norrington in "Pirates of the Caribbean"), whose father is an actor, joined the school''s theater troupe when he was in middle school, enrolled in classes to study drama performance during the summer, and also studied literature and film in college. . He also auditioned in various theater groups and actively strived for opportunities. Starting from small roles, he gradually polished his acting skills and gained popularity, and finally gradually became popular and got the opportunity to star in TV dramas and movies.
It can be said that most of the actors in the crew basically grew up like this.
Xiang Nan had never acted before and had only filmed a few MVs. However, his performance now is so good, which naturally surprised everyone.
“Dan, have you ever filmed before?” Jack asked curiously.
“I worked as a stunt double in Hollywood for a while, does that count?” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“That’s it.” Everyone nodded after hearing this.
As a stand-in, he can also accumulate a certain amount of shooting experience. It’s no wonder that he can face the camera skillfully. As for acting, I''m afraid it really comes down to talent.
?Just like some actors who have never filmed before, but they can perform very well for the first time.
…
After guest appearance in "Enemies in Pairs", Xiang Nan began planning to release "YEAH!!".
This is his first time trying dance music, so in order to match this song, Rhodes specially asked a choreographer to help design the corresponding dance.
Xiang Nan has also seen Usher perform this song, and has a certain impression of his graceful dance steps. Therefore, he planned with the choreographer and finally designed a set of graceful, **** and charming dance steps.
Dance is all about body movements, and Xiang Nan’s control of the body is undoubtedly the best in the world. He can easily control any muscle, tendon, bone, or even organ in the body without any problems.
Therefore, he can learn any dance move just by watching it once, and he can dance better than his teacher.
?This also surprised Rhodes.
He originally thought that it would take half a month to a month for Xiang Nan to practice dancing. I never expected that he would learn so quickly. In just two days, he had completed the dance design and danced it very well.
?This made him overjoyed, and he later arranged to release the single "YEAH!!".
The time he set was after the episode of "Enemies in Pairs" in which Xiang Nan guest-starred.
Because that drama was Xiang Nan''s first time filming, the promotion was quite gimmick.
The TV station has been publicizing this matter since last week, trying to attract as much popularity as possible.
Delos Records is also not idle. They sent out a lot of press releases early to use this matter for publicity.
The drama "Enemies" has received very good ratings in the UK. Xiang Nan''s guest appearance in this drama can increase his exposure.
And the crew of "Enemies in Pairs" did not suffer from the guest appearance of the popular singer Xiang Nan.
?It would be best if the ratings this time can hit a new high, in which case everyone will benefit.
?Of course, if the ratings plummet, both parties will suffer, and Xiang Nan will also suffer a big setback.
That''s why Rod Stater wanted to release the single "YEAH!!" after the episode aired.
??If the ratings explode, it will just build momentum for this single; if the ratings plummet, you can also use this song to save your respect.
Xiang Nan also has expectations for this drama.
??If his performance can be recognized by the audience, he may be able to open up the film and television market in the future.
