"Hey, you, Big Star Zhang, why did you remember to contact me?"
Yang Mi's sweet, sweet voice came from the phone.
"Where are you?" Zhang Yuan leaned against the wall and asked softly.
At this time, Yang Mi was rushing to work on Lungda's studio.
Now the winter vacation is less than a month away.
It's time for Nortel to prepare for end-of-year exams and report on performances.
Despite her young age, she is only a sophomore this year, but she is already working very hard.
I filmed during the day and had to go back to school to rehearse with my classmates at night.
After the rehearsal, I still had to study for the exam under the desk lamp.
Your classmates will also have objections if you are not around during the day.
This guy is quite decent, and he always invites his classmates to dinner to bond with him.
Anyway, I was busy all day and couldn't take a break.
"I'm on set."
"What play?"
""The Gate" is teacher Shaohong's movie, and her husband works as a photographer." Yang Mi said proudly.
The casting of "Dream of Red Mansions" has been pushed back a lot.
But this time, Lung Da's boss personally made a movie and found her to star in it.
This made her feel a lot better.
The anger in my stomach was also relieved by seven points.
It just made my chest bigger and it didn't shrink back.
This film was adapted from a novel, and the original work is quite good.
But after being adapted into a movie...it can only be said that Li Shaohong's abilities are still quite limited.
She is very similar to her master's son, Poet Chen.
They can only produce certain types of works, and they must be assisted by experts.
"I am the female lead, Chen Kun is the male lead, and there are also elder brothers Huang Jue and Lin Yusheng." Yang Mi introduced in detail.
This group of people is the mainstay of Lucky Da today, and bringing her to star shows that the company still values her.
She said this to express that I am also very interested!
"Okay, it would be great if you can act in movies."
Although the film's reputation and box office were not good... Zhang Yuan didn't care.
"You said before that you only had a small role in the company's "Dream of Red Mansions", right?"
This was the main reason for his phone call.
After learning about the mess behind the film from Zhang Di last night, I was a little worried.
"It's not big enough." Yang Mi pouted.
"I heard some rumors outside that the actors in this film are very close to the sponsor."
"Ah, you know it too?"
How could Yang Mi, a smart person like him, not hear about it?
Moreover, her current agent has been replaced by Zhou Xun's previous one, Li Xiaowan's apprentice Zeng Jia.
He was a direct descendant of Lung Yuda, so he was naturally very well-informed.
"Of course, I just heard about it."
"You... didn't go, did you?"
"I've been filming and going to school, so I don't have time to go." Yang Mi replied.
Zhang Yuan felt a lot more at ease after hearing this.
Huh, no time?
If you want to be free, you will be free no matter what.
Li Shaohong asked you to be free, but would you be unavailable?
It seems that this old lady still has some bottom line.
Although he is quite snobbish, he still has some protective elements.
Only Yang Mi was assigned the role of Qingwen.
But it also kept her away from the rights and wrongs of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew.
In a sense, it may be regarded as a kind of "protection".
After all, I met Li Xiaowan when I was 6 years old, and came to Lungda when I was 15 or 6 years old, so I watched her grow up.
Didn't use her to fill the fire pit.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have time, just stay out of this matter." Zhang Yuan said with concern.
"Ah, are you caring about me?"
"Are you worried that I will be bullied?" Yang Mi asked thiefly.
"Yes, I'm a little worried about you." Zhang Yuan replied honestly.
"You..."
She couldn't hit Zhang Yuan's straight shot.
After all, the boys of the same age around me are still that kind of show-off.
Not only do many of them not express themselves sincerely, but they also deliberately try to act cool.
Zhang Yuan's honest answer made her cheeks turn slightly red.
"The water in this film is quite deep. Take care of yourself." He added.
In other films, the water is so deep that it can knock your knees.
This "Dream of Red Mansions" is as deep as the chin.
Anyone with a weak frame can easily drown in it.
"I know, do you have time? I'll treat you to dinner." Yang Mi rolled his eyes and hurriedly received it.
She has recently been filming with Chen Kun every day.
But I often heard Brother Kun complain that Zhang Yuan was not authentic.
It's okay for them to have a personal relationship, so Kunkun just complained and didn't curse.
Yang Mi could feel his ears getting calloused.
The endorsement was robbed, and it wasn’t just a small endorsement, it was more than once!
Everyone must have resentment in their hearts.
After Yang Mi found out, he didn't immediately stand up to help Brother Kun and tell Zhang Yuan's fault because he was a senior in the same company.
She was very smart and kept silent.
I was thinking about it in my heart.
"Being able to steal Brother Kun's endorsement means that Zhang Yuan is better than Brother Kun!"
"Even the first brother of Xingluo Da can't defeat him, which means that his potential must be much greater than that of the company."
In terms of intelligence alone, Yang Mi cannot compare to Shu Chang.
But when it comes to smartness, among the younger generation in the entire entertainment industry, this one can be considered to be in the front row.
Her intelligence is the kind of intelligence that is very suitable for the entertainment industry.
Therefore, even though Rong Xinda gave her a movie heroine with not too many roles this time, Yang Mi still had no intention of crying with gratitude and giving up her heart.
Still planning his "escape".
Nowadays, Zhang Yuan has become one of her key targets.
"I am also filming, not in the Imperial Capital."
"Oh." Yang Mi was a little unhappy. Every time he took the initiative, the other party would refuse.
Make her feel that she is very unimportant in the other person's heart.
"Let's do this. When I return to the imperial capital, I will pick you up from school."
"Don't invite me, I'll treat you."
“Think about what you like to eat, so you don’t have to save money for me.”
"Okay!" Hearing what he said, Yang Mili narrowed his eyes in joy.
"Oh, and today is New Year's Eve, Happy New Year." Zhang Yuan thought it was not easy for her, so he said gently.
"Hey, Happy New Year!"
After hanging up, Yang Mi still held the phone and laughed for a long time.
"What are you so happy about?" The manager just walked over.
Contrary to her, Zeng Jia had a sad face.
"No, it's nothing...Sister Zeng Jia, what's wrong with you, are you unhappy?"
"Hey..." Zeng Jia sighed, looking like he didn't know where to start.
"No more talking."
Obviously unwilling to say.
But Yang Mi pricked her ears and heard her whispering...
"Being a teacher for a lifetime and being a father for a lifetime, etc., it all depends on the old man's calendar..."
"They also said I was dishonest..."
"Why do you eat meat while others can only drink soup..."
Yang Mi was so shrewd. He rolled his eyes and guessed with just a moment's thought that his agent must have had a conflict with Li Xiaowan.
"Oh, I see." She suddenly thought.
The contract between Zeng Jia and Lunda will expire at the end of next year.
It seems that there was a disagreement with Li Xiaowan, who made her debut, over the issue of contract renewal.
This is so common that it’s no surprise.
As the apprentice grew older, his appetite also increased.
The master always treats the apprentice like a child, or deliberately pretends to treat the apprentice like a child, and squeezes the value of the apprentice.
"The way out..." Yang Mi raised his head and thought, making calculations in his mind.
"It's a great honor..." At the same time, Zhang Yuan was also thinking about it.
"This is a good place to poach."
Thinking about how to start, Uncle Benshan on the other side was working.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
What we filmed today was a very special scene.
I took the role of Teacher Xia Yu.
After bidding farewell to the cyclist, Lao Zhao, who was pulling the scooter, had a traffic accident while going downhill.
Cars also broke up and people fell.
I happened to see a tractor not far away that also fell into a ditch and was therefore scrapped.
Then he got the other party's abandoned tire, tied the body inside the tire, and planned to roll the tire forward.
"Dudududu..."
On the two-lane winding mountain road, Uncle Benshan pushed the oversized tire and imitated the sound of the trumpet in amusement.
It's fine on flat ground, but it's hard to go uphill, and it's dangerous to go downhill.
One person and one child competed with each other.
Zhang Yuan looked on with a smile.
There are almost no lines in this whole scene.
It has the feel of a silent film, relying entirely on body language to express the characters.
Coupled with the exaggerated movements and dramatic content, Zhang Yuan even saw a hint of Chaplin.
A bit like Bean again.
Sure enough, the performances of comedy masters are all similar.
But behind this masterful performance, there is more than just the efforts of the "master" alone.
In addition to the director, camera and other crew members.
To say that the hardest person in this film was even harder than Zhao Benshan, who was rushing to work, dressing up all day in a mess, and getting up early and working late at night, it was the old man who played the corpse.
On the set, even the director and Teacher Zhao would often forget the name of the character.
They usually call him "dead man".
In fact, this character is called Lao Liu, which corresponds to Uncle Benshan's Lao Zhao.
The two characters who appear the most in the film do not have full names.
Zhang Yuan thought that this should be the director's intention.
The protagonist is deliberately called by two code names and nicknames to generalize the protagonist's image.
Their stories are special, but their beliefs and spirit are not.
Those who are honest and trustworthy and have the obsession to return to their roots are far from the protagonists in the film, but exist in every corner of the Chinese mainland.
The man who plays Old Liu is Hong Qiwen, and he is not a professional actor.
In fact, Zhao Benshan is not a professional film and television actor.
The two most important roles in this film were both performed by "outsiders".
Another very strange, yet essential thing.
The dead man was originally a bus driver in Hengdian, the kind who specialized in pulling people to the set.
No one knows why, maybe the director can't explain why either, but he fell in love with this guy at first sight.
When this person learned that he could act with Zhao Benshan, he was terrified after spending time together day and night.
Zhao Benshan is a completely idol-like figure, but he has to carry an inconspicuous little driver on his back for 70% of the film.
Therefore, my brother worked very hard.
Ordinary people think that I can do it if I just act like a corpse!
Just pour it there, don't say a word, and you can get money every day, which is very cool.
This is not the case!
Directors are very demanding.
In order to perform the stiffness of a corpse, I had to tighten my body all the time.
Especially the legs must be kept straight.
At the end of the day, he is no more relaxed than Teacher Zhao.
For the first two weeks, my legs were so tight that they cramped almost every day.
"Ugh!"
At this time, the dead man was scratching at the grass on the roadside and vomiting.
His body collapsed on the ground, and he had to be supported by the assistant director before he could get up weakly.
"It's okay, I'm okay, keep shooting."
The reason for all this is the "real shooting" just now.
In the setting, Lao Zhao tied the body in a tire and rolled it forward.
During the filming, this guy was asked to do it himself, no stand-in dummy was used!
As the tire rolled back and forth dozens or hundreds of times.
Not to mention the fleshy ones, even the iron ones can’t stand it!
Just like this, people were still afraid of delaying the filming, so they forced themselves to stand up.
The person is not professional, but the spirit is very professional.
"Come on, don't move." Zhang Yuan hadn't used massage techniques for a while. Seeing him like this, he stepped forward and took action.
"No, you are a star, how can you help me..." the old man said in denial.
"We are all actors on the crew, everyone is equal and equal."
He didn't mind that this guy was covered in dirt, so he pressed several large acupuncture points on his temples and back.
"Hey, have you learned this before?" Soon, I felt a lot more comfortable.
"That's right, quite professional."
"Yes, yes, that's great. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to have a big star press my button." The old man said in a rough voice with an accent.
"It's not unusual for a big star to carry you on his back every day."
"Hehehe..." The old man smiled naively.
[Received thanks from Hong Qiwen, driving skills +1, large vehicle driving basics +1! 】
"Young man, you are not bad."
While he was joking with his brother, a very familiar clear voice came to his mind behind him.
"Hello, Teacher Dandan." Zhang Yuan turned around and followed the extremely familiar voice and saw an extremely familiar face.
After Teacher Gao Xiumin passed away and Fang ran away, Zhao Benshan's only golden partner was standing in front of him.
Willow eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a little cherry mouth...that's what the word says anyway.
When Song Xunyi was young, she was actually doing well...
Speaking of which, this person can be regarded as Zhao Benshan's senior on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
In 1989, he performed a sketch in the Spring Festival Gala.
"You compliment me."
"What a compliment, it's good. It's good." Song Xingyi said quickly: "There are not many people your age who are not afraid of getting dirty."
"If you are willing to help others, you have a good conscience, at least on the surface."
Zhang Yuan:......
He speaks very directly.
When ordinary people talk like this, they have no control over their mouths.
When you reach the identity of Song Yuan, it is called true temperament.
"Hey, you already know each other before I have a chance to introduce you." Zhao Benshan came forward with a smile.
"Tell me, you came to me to film a movie, but you didn't come to pick me up. What a lousy place you are?"
"You are out of touch with your past!"
"I'm telling you, you have to treat me to something delicious!"
As soon as his "wife" arrived, Teacher Song immediately praised her with her hands on her hips.
"Come on, please."
"I feel relieved as soon as you come."
Zhao Benshan was relieved.
I felt good when I saw my partner and an old acquaintance.
Secondly, he was the one who recruited Song Yuan for the crew.
Because Teacher Zhao not only had to film, but also had to prepare a program at the same time.
