Chapter 591 Uncle Gao’s Instructions
All in all, no matter which angle you look at it, the popularity of "Jingzhe" has completely exceeded expectations.
Although Caroline is obviously very confident about this series, no matter how confident she is, she could never have predicted that it would be as popular as it is right now.
Of course, this probably also has the dividends of the development of the times. The Internet has expanded the impact of everything.
Su Chengyi thought about it for a moment, and realized that the dramas that were popular all over the country in his memory, even though they had high ratings, would not have the momentum they have now.
Although it sounds a bit like being frivolous, it is the first time in Su Chengyi's memory that a drama like "Jingzhe" has been watched by the whole people.
However, high popularity is also a double-edged sword.
After following Xiao Zheng for a long time, Su Chengyi also has some basic understanding of the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.
The principle that a big tree attracts wind is the most common in the entertainment industry.
Because the cake in the market is only so big in total, if some people are too popular, the traffic that others can eat will naturally be less.
Therefore, a hit drama like "Jingzhe" that came out of nowhere is a thorn in the side and flesh of other dramas that are being broadcast at the same time or to be broadcast.
According to Xiao Zheng, he could count the number of opponents waiting to buy the black draft on one hand.
As a family member of an actor in the crew, Su Chengyi's position is naturally consistent with the crew of "Jingzhe".
Although the current trend is quite a bit like "wearing a high hat", the series has become so popular that the entire crew has consciously entered a state of extreme workaholics.
On this point, Caroline, who is originally a workaholic, certainly does her part as a director.
There are many envious people on the Internet making sarcastic comments. Any drama like this is going to start high and then go low. There will definitely be no room for sequels. The format of filming and broadcasting just won’t work. Far away or something like that.
Caroline has always been a serious and strong person, so naturally she cannot accept such negative comments.
So she is determined to slap these people in the face with all her strength, and is determined to create a true "magic drama" for everyone to see, that is, a certain bean played by more than one million people The score must be more than 9 points in the end.
Apart from this aggressive director, Su Chengyi felt that Chen Jinzhi could be called the second best in the crew.
She has been extremely busy lately, more so than ever before.
Although she was never late for the time they agreed to call, she was always on time. She would also send him messages from time to time to tell him what he had done today and what the crew's lunch box was today.
But her seemingly normal behavior cannot conceal her abnormality.
Su Chengyi was not a very perceptive person originally, but Chen Jinzhi was particularly good at concealing it. If it were not for the accidental incident that day, he might not have connected these details, and would not have been able to tell any clues. .
It was a very ordinary time to make a phone call. Su Chengyi was lying on the balcony blowing the wind, chatting aimlessly with Chen Jinzhi about a strange case that the teacher told in class recently.
“So, mind control and nestling complex are the means she uses to control the two male students”
After describing the case at length, Su Chengyi suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The person on the other side of the receiver seems a little too quiet.
This is completely inconsistent with Chen Jinzhi's personality. She is the kind of person who is very good at chatting and will never let other people's words fall to the ground.
So, this is very wrong.
So Su Chengyi cautiously stopped speaking, put the receiver to his ear and listened attentively for a while, when a very soft and steady breathing came from there.
Sleep, sleep?
Su Chengyi was slightly startled, never expecting that this situation would happen to Chen Jinzhi.
For a person like her who lives her life like a clock that runs accurately and has clear arrangements for what she has to do every minute, it is difficult for such small mistakes to happen.
No, for Chen Jinzhi, this is probably a big mistake.
And if this happens, it means that she must have been too tired recently, so she accidentally fell asleep while talking to him on the phone.
Su Chengyi listened to the breathing coming from the receiver, raised his head and looked at the slowly moving white clouds in the sky.
When the cloud that looked like a curled up kitten gradually dispersed, Su Chengyi said "good night" softly in his heart and hung up the phone.
Chen Jinzhi’s news came five minutes later.
"I just fell asleep? I'm sorry."
Although the apology was very official, Su Chengyi could vaguely notice that she seemed to be very embarrassed at the moment, her fair skin The base of the ears must be slightly red.
Su Chengyi looked at the chat interface and actually had a lot to say, such as "You must have a good rest. You have been too tired recently" "Why do you have to overtax your health to complete the work?" "If you are too tired, your work status will be affected, don't you think?" Something like that.
But in the end, after thinking seriously for a while, Su Chengyi typed a reply:
"Did you sleep well?"
The person on the other side of the screen was stunned for a long time. Then he replied:
“Very good.”
Chen Jinzhi is indeed very tired recently.
During the filming, if one thing failed to pass, I would have to do it over seven or eight times. After returning to the hotel, I would have to start preparing for the part to be shot the next day.
Under such double physical and mental pressure, the whole person is always tense, with almost no rest time.
Before joining the crew, Chen Jinzhi had been suffering from sleep disorders for some time, and had always needed medication to help him fall asleep.
Now it has become even more serious. Originally, the crew only reserved three or four hours of sleep for the actors. Because he was worried about affecting the filming status the next day, Chen Jinzhi also stopped taking sleep-aid drugs.
Therefore, Chen Jinzhi no longer remembers how many nights she spent listening to the howling wind and sand in the desert, silently reciting the next day's lines in her heart, and staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Because of this, just listening to Su Chengyi's voice slowly describing the lengthy case, she lost consciousness without realizing it.
In fact, she had not had such a good sleep for a long time. If there were monitoring equipment to test sleep, she must have been in deep sleep just now.
Su Chengyi looked at her reply, thought for a while, and continued to ask:
"How long will it take until Georgia is finished filming?"
"I can't tell. As you know, Mr. Su, the shooting format of "Jingzhe" is very variable. However, it will probably be done soon. After all, the director and screenwriter have already decided her ending."
" I hope it will be faster."
Su Chengyi replied.
If Xiao Zheng heard what he said, he would definitely slap his thigh angrily and protest loudly that he was too talkative.
After all, "Jingzhe" is so popular right now. For actors, the more scenes they have and the later they finish filming, the better. Every extra minute of footage is a huge asset.
But Su Chengyi vaguely felt that Chen Jinzhi was in a bad state, very bad.
And the longer she stays in this closed crew, the worse her condition will be.
And this state is not one that can be seen through by the naked eye. After all, whether Chen Jinzhi is the image in the drama or the Reuters who is occasionally photographed by the paparazzi, as long as she appears in the public eye, she remains the same as before. Perfect. He couldn't explain why, but Su Chengyi chose to trust his intuition.
So, of course, it is best to end the filming of "Jingzhe" as soon as possible.
In this case, he would also have a reason to meet Chen Jinzhi himself earlier.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to put on my headphones."
Faintly confused for a while, Su Chengyi pulled the progress bar back to the beginning of the film, pressed pause, took out the headphones from his pocket, and gestured to put them on.
Seeing his move, Butler Han in the front row couldn't help but let out an "ah" and sighed in disappointment.
Although his professionalism makes him understand that he cannot watch dramas during working hours, no one stipulates that he cannot fish reasonably, right?
Han Guanjia is concerned about the safety of the protagonist, Little Fatty. He originally wanted to stretch his neck and take a few glances. He really can listen without seeing, but he has no chance now. The guy in the back seat is very limited. The sexy young master had already put on his Bluetooth headset with a cold expression.
Seeing the hopeless look of his co-pilot colleague, Uncle Gao finally couldn't help but sigh and slapped his palms heavily on the steering wheel.
Butler Han shivered in fright and turned to glare at him angrily.
Uncle Gao had a cold face, raised the middle finger of his right hand and pushed up his 007 sunglasses, seemingly showing an international friendly gesture in a subtle way.
Before Butler Han had time to think about whether this damn Gao Qiangsheng was intentional or accidental, Uncle Gao glanced at the back seat and then took the initiative to say:
"What are we going to do tonight? What to do, you know?”
Although he didn't call Su Chengyi's name, and his eyes were well shielded by his sunglasses, Su Chengyi quickly understood that these words were meant for him, so he quickly took off his headphones and shook his head to answer. Tao:
“Actually, I don’t really know, eating?”
“Eating is a more critical process, but the problem is that no one really eats.”
Uncle Gao sighed, his expression under his sunglasses was very complicated.
In fact, he wanted to talk to Su Chengyi about tonight's banquet from the beginning.
Originally, he wanted to give this task to Butler Han, who was usually more eloquent, but the other party first rambled on a lot of useless things, and then was easily distracted by the topic of watching a drama.
“But now that I think about it, there is actually nothing special to explain.”
After saying this, Uncle Gao looked at the car lights in front and sighed again.
Logically speaking, he is just a driver and bodyguard. It is not his turn to worry about the household affairs of these big bosses and small bosses.
However, after watching the eldest lady and him come to this point, even if he has always been like a ruthless robot, it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts beyond the setting.
"Approximately how many people are coming to the banquet tonight?"
Looking at Uncle Gao's face, which looked like he had something to say but didn't know how to say it, Su Chengyi thought for a while and simply took the initiative to ask. road.
“There are fifty-seven people invited to the banquet tonight.”
This question involves Butler Han’s professional knowledge, so he answered first.
“After dinner, are there any other procedures?”
"There is also a night talk around the fire. According to the Chu family's practice, only a few people can stay to participate in the symposium."
Butler Han continued to explain.
Under normal circumstances, at times like this, he would be the background board standing next to him with a plate in his hand, waiting for instructions, so he understood this very well.
Su Chengyi glanced at Uncle Gao's expression and thought that he probably just wanted to talk to her about topics like this.
Although it has no effect, if you understand it a little bit, you won't have to be so nervous later.
Uncle Gao was doing this kind of thing because of Big Brother, but Su Cheng thought it was useless because he wasn't that nervous in the first place.
No matter how nervous you were before today, it is already this time. Everyone is sitting in the back seat of the car, so it is impossible to be troubled by nervous emotions anymore.
Just like archery, the preparation process may be interfered by off-site factors. After you actually draw the bow and string, you will only see the bullseye, your hands will not shake, and your mind will not be confused.
"What's for dinner today?"
Although he was not very curious about these innocuous questions, in order to live up to Uncle Gao's kindness, Su Chengyi had no choice but to continue asking questions out of boredom.
"We have communicated with the guests about taboos in advance, and obtained some of your information from the young lady, to make sure there will be no mistakes. Tonight's appetizer is Chardonnay red wine paired with foie gras, isn't it a bit wrong?"< br>
While Butler Han was explaining it very professionally, he felt that something was wrong.
Rather than discussing these issues, the young master in the back seat seemed to want to watch a drama quietly alone.
"Thank you, Uncle Gao."
Su Chengyi suddenly said, casually wrapping the headphone cord in a circle around his finger, and looking out the window.
We have entered the Qingjiang District where the Chu family is located. The density of the surrounding buildings has become sparse, and tall walls encircle independent worlds one after another.
The street lamps were like twinkling lights in the night. Su Chengyi suddenly thought of the beginnings of many horror movies, where the laughing protagonists walked through such a road and turned into some kind of desperate town.
He suddenly said thank you, which made Uncle Gao, who was worried all the way, seem a little at a loss. He coughed several times in embarrassment.
“Ahem, it’s nothing.”
Unceremonious, Uncle Gao pushed up his sunglasses, which was the Waterloo of Cool Guy’s career.
"From your point of view, the experience of tonight's banquet will definitely not be too good, but times are different from when we were in the past, and falling in love is only a matter between the two of you.
Uncle Gao hopes that you Always be good to the eldest lady and don’t be influenced by the outside world. She really likes you. And it has been for many years.”
This is probably the longest sentence that Uncle Gao has said in his life, every word is sincere. , Tough and tender.
In total, Uncle Gao and Butler Han spent much more time with Chu Qingmian than her real parents.
So, the two of them are also worrying about their old father's heart, trying to pave the way for the young lady to appoint a boyfriend in advance, and want her to be with the person she really likes.
If Uncle Gao knew about the Shura Field, would he come back to the world overnight and pour his damn scumbag into a concrete pillar?
It seems not impossible.
Despite the risk, Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and nodded lightly.
“Okay.”
