Chapter 605: The Crew of Rashomon
“Xin Pingqing’s father is Xin Siyang?” Hu Siwei looked in disbelief.
When Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi saw this, it was estimated that Hu Siwei was indeed unaware of the situation.
“So you don’t know too?”
“I don’t know.” Hu Siwei shook his head, “But Xin Siyang’s suicide was a big deal back then, so we can stay in this industry People who have been around for a long time basically know it.”
"Does Xin Siyang's suicide have something to do with An Jian?"
"No, I haven't heard of it." Hu Siwei shook his head, "If it has something to do with An Jian, there should be news. Yes. Moreover, although An Jian has a bit of a weird temper, he does not drive people to commit suicide. If such a thing happened, even if it was not exposed and spread to the outside world, we would definitely know about it. "
Chen Siqi nodded.
Actually, she thought so too.
If this kind of thing really happened to Director An Jian, they shouldn't have missed such news when they were assessing him.
Chen Siqi said: "Now they have investigated the reasons for Xin Siyang's suicide. However, after investigating this matter, it seems that the person who has the deepest connection with An Jian's events back then is Xin Pingqing. Moreover, it has been happening for so long, Xin Pingqing He has never mentioned to us that his father was once a screenwriter at Anjian Company. Although it is not certain yet, I think it can be assumed that he is the one who sent the anonymous letter."
Hu Siwei frowned. .
“This kid actually directs and acts himself.”
Chen Siqi said: “Actually, it’s okay for him to direct and act himself, but if it was really him, I would be very annoyed. He had enough time to prepare the project before it started Months, or even two months, prevented An Jian from becoming the director of our drama, but he had to wait until the night before filming, causing so much trouble to our crew."
Hu. Sisi had an idea when he heard what Chen Siqi said.
He brought Xin Pingqing to Linghe Film and Television Company. If Xin Pingqing really caused such a big trouble to "Silent Stairs", then it would definitely not be possible to let this matter go lightly.
Hu Siwei sighed.
Chen Siqi said: "Brother Sisi, if it is really Xin Pingqing who did this, we can no longer let him stay in Linghe."
Hu Siwei nodded: "Understood, I will follow What he talked about was that "The Silent Staircase" is still being filmed. He is a production assistant and he is responsible for a lot of work. I suggest that no matter what, at least wait until the filming of the show is completed before we deal with his affairs. Right."
Chen Siqi nodded in agreement.
-
During the afternoon filming, there was a small accident. An actor named Zhou Yelu was late and we could not contact him.
However, the scene shot in the afternoon was another group scene, and it was difficult to shoot without one person.
Time waits for no one, so I had no choice but to find someone from the scene who was similar in stature to him, and asked him to change into costume and take his place.
Through photography, avoid photographing his front side.
Let's go back and wait for Zhou Yelu to come, and then let him shoot a few more scenes of this scene by himself.
He didn't show up on the set until two hours later.
Chen Yu spoke to him in a bad temper this time, and asked with a dark face: "Where have you been? You are so late."
Zhou Yelu looked embarrassed and said: "I forgot to set the alarm clock when I went to bed at noon, and I overslept."
Chen Yu's face turned darker and he said: "Someone knocked on the door of your room, asked the hotel for a spare key, and went in to look. There’s no one inside.”
It's not just a matter of sleeping in and being late, it's also lying.
However, at this time, Chen Yu didn't say anything else. He only said: "If this happens again for the second time, I will directly use the official WeChat account of the crew to announce your behavior. This drama has attracted attention since it aired. See if any other crew would dare to use an actor who deliberately did not come to participate in the filming. "
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, Zhou Yelu's face turned pale. .
This is also the first time that Chen Yu has shown such a decisive and ugly look on this crew.
“I’m sorry, director, I was wrong, I won’t do it next time.”
Chen Yu didn't say anything. He turned to the coordinator and said, "Move all Zhou Yelu's scenes to the earliest and latest times of the day. If you are late again, call his agency over and see what he does." How can we compensate for the damage caused by our shooting?”
Zhou Yelu’s face turned even paler.
"Director, director——"
Chen Yuli ignored him, "We are going to shoot the next scene."
-
Lu Yanhe raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He heard Peng Yufen next to him whisper in amazement: "This Director Chen is young and very capable. Xiao Zhou's face turned pale with fright."
Zhang Yuan : "If I were the one, I would fire Zhou Yelu directly."
"Fire him out Now, who can act in his scenes? Are all the scenes shot before free of charge?" Peng Yufen said directly, "It's easy for you to open your mouth."
"... "Lu Yanhe silently turned his head to avoid their eyes, so as not to let them see the smile on his face.
Zhang Yuan asked depressedly: "Peng Yufen, why do you like to fight me so much? Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't fight me for a day?"
"Why don't you ask yourself, why do you owe it to me so much?" Peng Yufen also responded confidently, "I am over forty years old and my mind is not yet mature." It’s hard for your wife to be healthy. Finding a husband is like raising another son.”
“It’s not easy for your husband either. He has a poisonous mouth lying next to him every day.”
Lu Yanhe wrote down these golden lines of mutual criticism, thinking that he could write them into the script in the future.
-
At 8:30 in the evening, Lu Yanhe called it a day, and so did the other actors. Only Zhou Yelu wanted to stay and film his scene.
Because it was an indoor scene, there was no need to consider the skylight. Chen Yu really saved all his shots until the end.
During these few hours on the set, Zhou Yelu’s face was blue.
But no one comforted him.
Hu Siwei and Xin Pingqing were on site together to plan tomorrow’s shooting.
-
"Xiao Zhou was taught such a lesson. I guess everyone else in the crew will be refreshed." He has a good temper and doesn't get angry with others, but some people gradually started to neglect him."
Hu Siwei nodded and said: " I thought changing the director would be a disaster, but I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise."
Xin Pingqing immediately nodded and said, "Yeah, luckily we found Chen Yu to direct."
Hu Siwei asked: "Tell me, if we hadn't found Chen Yu to replace An Jian as director, how would we have produced this drama?"
Xin Pingqing laughed, "Brother Si Si, where are you taking my test?"
"Yes, you are a production assistant now, and you will be the sole producer in the future. Maybe you will encounter similar situations in the future. If it were you, how would you deal with it?" Hu Siwei asked.
Xin Pingqing thought for a while and said, "If it really doesn't work, just follow what Chen Siqi said at the time and let Director An Jian use a pseudonym, at least until the drama is finished filming." Hu Siwei: "But that's not to say Did you use a pseudonym? The person who sent the anonymous letter was probably Sol is also on the set, so we can definitely see that Director An is still there. According to what he said in the anonymous letter, he might soon expose the contents of the anonymous letter online."
Xin Pingqing said: "That will also happen later, such as If this drama has to be launched, it is imminent. Those problems of An Dao are only problems of the past. Even if they are exposed, they will at most trigger boycotts, but they will not be directly blocked like some tainted artists, so that the drama cannot be broadcast. Then delete the director's name Okay, rather than letting this drama die, my priority is definitely to get this drama out first. After all, the entire crew is waiting to start filming, and one-third of the production budget has been invested in the early stage. If it doesn’t start filming, , that is a direct loss.”
Hu Siwei didn't expect Xin Pingqing to say that.
“I thought you would say that until Director An investigates whether those things are true or false, it would be a safer choice not to turn on the camera.”
“I am a producer. This project is something I have worked hard on for a long time. No matter what others say, I am sure We need to ensure the survival of this project first." Xin Pingqing shook his head, "Even if the anonymous letter about An Jian is true, now that the project is on the line, I can only bite the bullet and help him cover up, at least until the show is over. ”
Hu Siwei nodded thoughtfully.
-
"I don't think the anonymous letter was necessarily done by Ping Qing." Later, Hu Siwei told Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi.
He recounted to them the conversation he had when he tested Xin Pingqing.
"I have known Ping Qing for so many years, and I still know him well. If you want to say whether he will retaliate against his father because he had a problem with An Jian, I think so, but you have to To say that he would ignore the risks of such a big project in order to get revenge on him, based on my understanding of his character, it doesn’t seem like something he would do.”
Hu Siwei said: “I think he has a saying. Very well said Yes, if he wants to do this, he can wait until the show is aired before exposing it online."
"The problem is, you can also see from this anonymous letter that this person is him. The first choice is not to expose what An Jian has done online, but to force An Jian to quit the crew of "Silent Stairs". What this person cares about is An Jian's directorship."
< br>
After Chen Siqi finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.
Lu Yanhe and Hu Siwei both looked at her doubtfully and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I was suddenly thinking about something."
"What's the matter? ?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Chen Siqi: "We all preconceptionally believed that the person who wrote the anonymous letter threatening An Jian was someone related to these things back then, and wanted to retaliate against him. But if we want to retaliate, it will definitely make him lose his reputation, not It was so simple to use an anonymous letter to ask An Jian to quit the crew and stop being a director. He just didn't want An Jian to be the director of "The Silent Staircase". Indeed, if Xin Pingqing did this, according to our guess, he did it because his father's suicide might be related to An Jian - so then. Is it enough? How can it be enough to just let An Jian quit the crew of "Silent Stairs"?
Lu Yanhe and Hu Siwei both reacted.
"This person just used some things from that year to threaten An Jian. He may not be related to these things. It was me who was impulsive. As soon as I found out that Xin Pingqing's father was once a screenwriter at An Jian Company, I It was a matter of course that it was Xin Pingqing." Chen Siqi frowned slightly, "But even Si Si, you don't know that Xin Pingqing's father was once a screenwriter at Anjian Company-"
"Who told you?" Hu Siwei asked.
"Liu Yuan, but he is from my company." Chen Siqi said, "I asked him to inquire about the news on the crew."
"Maybe someone deliberately spread the news I told him just to make us suspect Xin Pingqing about the anonymous letter," Lu Yanhe said.
"I have to ask him." Chen Siqi said, "I'm going to make a call."
She picked up the phone and got up and left.
Lu Yanhe and Hu Siwei looked at each other.
“This is really a suspenseful mystery drama. How come our crew has become so suspenseful?” Hu Siwei said with a smile, which was more or less bitter.
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "Although they say that anything that happens when filming is not surprising, I have filmed so many movies, and I have never encountered anything more outrageous than this."
Hu Siwei couldn't stop laughing, "It feels like the behind-the-scenes footage of our crew can be used to make a movie."
"Maybe one day we can actually make it." Lu Yanhe shrugged.
At this time, Hu Siwei’s cell phone buzzed.
"Huh?" He picked it up, took a look at it, and said, "Ping Qing sent me a message. A first version of the material taken on the first day has been cut out, and he asked me if I have time to look at it tomorrow. Look.”
Basically the filming and editing of Jump Up Theater are done at the same time, but the editing is only one day later than the filming.
This is to allow producers and directors to know at any time whether the material that has been shot for the film is available and whether there is any need for reshoots and reshoots.
Just such a shooting method will make producers and directors very tired, because it means that they are working continuously all day long, not just on-site shooting tasks.
Lu Yanhe said: "Then I will go and have a look tomorrow."
After chatting for a few words, Chen Siqi came back after making a phone call.
Her expression became more serious.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking so serious?"
Chen Siqi said: "The person who told Liu Yuan that Xin Pingqing's father used to be a screenwriter at An Jian Company was An Jian himself."
As soon as Chen Siqi finished speaking, both Lu Yanhe and Hu Siwei looked stunned and were stunned.
"Liu Yuan went to find out with Director An Jian which people in the crew were old acquaintances and had connections with him, and An Jian told him about Xin Pingqing." Chen Siqi added, "How do I feel now? Is this matter getting more and more complicated?”
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi looked at each other.
Hu Siwei looked puzzled.
"Where is An Jian now?"
"He has gone home. Because it is said to be a sudden illness, we have made an agreement with him these days to shoot After it’s over, he won’t go out and will stay at home,” Hu Siwei said.
Chen Siqi: "I think I need to talk to him."
Chen Siqi's face suddenly became very ugly.
The same thoughts as Chen Siqi came to Lu Yanhe's mind, and his face darkened.
What if An Jian directed and acted in this incident?
It was not that someone wanted to force him to quit the filming of "Silent Stairs", but that he himself wanted to quit for some reason, in order not to get into a lawsuit, and in order not to break up with Jump Theater. , broke up, there was a scandal of not abiding by professional ethics, so I directed and acted in such a scene, and seemed to be particularly responsible for the crew, and took the initiative to resign——
Is this the case? -
Recommend the old book "I Became a Scandal Heroine Overnight" and the new book "The Demon Sword"
There will be another chapter updated later.
I must say that writing a little bit of "Monster Sword" every day to change my thoughts has made me think more about "Become Popular Another Day".
Very cool.
