Chapter 103 The Shaking Tent
In the next few days, the atmosphere in the crew became increasingly anxious.
Even Hu Jun, the bearded and iron-clad protagonist, is in panic all day long.
The chief director and the producer have different opinions, which is not a good sign for the crew.
What's more, these leading actors all receive extremely low salaries, but they still work hard to perform. Why?
Don't you just hope that this film will make you famous and increase your worth?
Just like Sun Honglei, when filming "Conquest", the salary was only 1,000 per episode.
After "Conquest" became a hit, his net worth immediately skyrocketed to 80,000 per episode, a full 80 times increase, and was only slightly lower than those of top actors like Hu Jun and Chen Kun.
The actors are willing to give Big Beard half a day's work. On the other hand, it is because of his deep connections. As long as the film he shoots is almost 100% sure to be a star.
In 2000, the number of TV series produced in China each year exceeded 10,000 episodes.
And what about the ones that have a chance to be broadcast?
Less than 30%.
Among them, there are even fewer dramas that can be broadcast on stars and make the actors familiar in front of people all over the country.
That’s why Zhang Dabeard, who has the ability to make movies star, dares to act, and investors eat both sides.
But now the conflict between Zhou Xiaowen and Big Beard is getting deeper and deeper.
In fact, everyone knows that publicity, hype, and team building are all done with a big beard.
But if you really want to make a film, you have to rely on a professional director like Zhou Xiaowen.
The reason why Hu Jun was nervous was because he was afraid that if the two had a complete falling out, the film would be blocked, unable to be broadcast or the effect would be extremely poor, and his months of hard work would be in vain.
"Brother Jun, don't worry." In the lunch room, several people sat together to eat.
After hearing his complaint, Zhang Yuan said with relief.
"You should know about the change of protagonist in "The Swordsman" before."
Hu Jun still put down his chopsticks, looked at the dishes in the lunch box and pouted, thinking that the food seemed to be getting worse and worse recently. .
"Of course I know. I was originally asked to play the role of Linghu Chong. I felt that the role didn't match my temperament, so I refused."
"Hey, speaking of which, the same goes for Bing. Too upright." Hu Jun sighed.
Zhang Yuan smiled and said nothing.
In later generations, Big Beard kept publicizing to the outside world that Shao Bin was playing a big role, was not dedicated to his work, and did not act well, so he was kicked out of the crew.
Actually speaking, Shao Bin is not the first person to suffer a loss at the hands of Big Beard. In the previous "Water Margin", he was originally scheduled to play Wu Song, and the makeup photos were taken, but he was played by Big Beard. It was replaced by Ding Haifeng.
When it came to "The Swordsman", it was his Linghu Chong who originally played Ren Yingying, and Ning Jing was cast as Ren Yingying, which was just enough to rebuild the leading cast of "Red River Valley" from previous years.
But in the end both of them were replaced.
If Shao Bin's acting attitude is really so bad, and given Tranquility's well-known fiery temperament, why did the two never hear any discord after they collaborated on "Red River Valley"?
Does he really want that unruly person, who will have Jiang Wen's bad temper in the future, to be able to star in his own movie?
The entertainment industry is very realistic. Whoever has the right to speak is the truth.
Shao Bin was forced to retire for several years after "The Swordsman", and was dumped by Li Yu, who played Fang Yu in "Love in the Rain", which became a hit.
When mentioning Shao Bin, Hu Jun shook his head with a look of regret on his face.
“But look, the filming of the film has already started, and Shao Bin, the male lead, was driven away, but the filming ended smoothly.”
"More than 60% of the film has been shot, and it is not as smooth as "The Swordsman"."
"Besides, it's not the first time that the bearded man has acted like a monster during the filming, so don't worry."
Zhang Yuan’s words indeed relieved Hu Jun a lot.
However, the elder brother raised his head to look at the sunny little brother and hesitated to speak.
"Actually, you should be worried most about yourself..." Hu Jun suppressed these words and did not say them out.
Not only Hu Jun, but the other leading actors were also in the same mood. They were all depressed, and the atmosphere of the entire crew took a turn for the worse.
"Good sister, you are also worried about the situation of the crew."
A few days later, Zhang Yuan, who was always smiling and Chen Hao frowned, asked casually.
Should I say it or not, she is good-looking, even if she is sad and frowning, she still has a unique charm, Xizi is nothing but flattering.
"Just in time, come with me for a walk." Seeing that he was free, Chen Hao took him for a walk.
Facing the gentle breeze in the woods, Chen Hao held up his hair with one hand, closed his eyes, took a deep breath of air with the fragrance of grass and trees, and his frown seemed to open up a little.
"That Ma Yuke keeps pestering me, which is a bit annoying." Chen Hao said.
It’s true that Duan Kun in Tsim Sha Tsui, your appearance is not worthy of Chen Hao...
“His character Shi You Tanzhi is originally Azi’s follower, and he stays onscreen off-screen. It’s not a big problem if it’s in a good state for performing.”
“Haha, you are really different.” Chen Hao twisted his hair with his fingers: “When others heard what I said, they got angry behind their backs. You scold Xiaoma to please me.”
"The people you chat with are all men."
"Yeah."
"Then they are right to scold you, because they are greedy for your body."
"You No, he's also a man." Chen Hao looked at him curiously, waiting for his answer.
"I'm different." Zhang Yuan spread his hands: "I'm not just greedy for you."
"Fuck you!" Chen Hao smiled and raised his fist and hit him several times.
Ma Dan, if you tell the truth these days, you will get beaten...
The two of them started chasing each other among the woods in the rest area.
Actually, it was not Ma Yuke who made Chen Hao sad.
Not to mention the crew, when she was in the middle of the drama, not only chasing her, but also secretly watching her during class, there were enough boys to form a football team.
Although she didn't like it when a man deliberately tried to please and get close to him, she was used to it.
What really made her anxious was her father in the hospital.
Before she took on the role of "Pink Lady" because she was interested in the 500,000 yuan salary, which could help pay for her father's medical expenses.
And at that time, she had just entered "People's Art" and became a well-organized artist.
However, because the management system of "Human Art" is very strict, it is considered the purest theater troupe in China. Acting must be done in spare time, and the application must be reported in advance.
Chen Hao was crazy about taking on dramas to make money, so he had no choice but to quit his job as a "people's artist".
Later, this graduate student who also passed the Chinese Theater Examination became a tutor.
It can be seen that she is obsessed with the establishment, but she has to sacrifice for her father.
She is such a first-class beauty, but she takes off her costume and wears sloppy clothes on weekdays. It’s not that she doesn’t love beauty, it’s just to save money.
But recently, the hospital informed her that her father’s test results were not very good, which made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.
The film "Dragon" has low pay and a long lead time. She has spent all the money she saved. If another surgery is needed...
This is the source of her sorrow. But after hearing Zhang Yuan's "truth"... of course, she thought the other person was joking to make her happy.
I felt a lot more relaxed.
The two were joking and walking between the tents where the actors rested.
"Goose goose..."
Zee! ! !
While the two were running, they heard a familiar, lewd laughter.
Zhang Yuan and Chen Hao immediately "braked", their soles almost wearing out sparks.
"Zhang Yuan, what is this sound?" Chen Hao put his ears forward.
"It seems like someone is applauding inside." Chen Hao looked at him in confusion.
"Listen again, can clapping make such a difference?" Zhang Yuan thought to himself, Chen Hao is still young.
Pah, pah, pah, pah...
With the ear close to the tent as the starting point, Chen Hao was reminded by Zhang Yuan, and his cheeks quickly became congested and red. Like the last ray of sunset before sunset, it seems to drip blood.
“It’s Taotao again.” Chen Hao stuttered.
The scene in the woods last time immediately came to her mind.
The two people lined up in a K shape for a while, and then turned into an H shape for a while.
Zhang Yuan also leaned forward and listened: "Brother Jun is in good health."
Chen Hao blushed, pursed his lips and patted his forehead.
"Who!" Maybe the two people in the tent saw someone outside, or heard some noise. Brother Jun's rough voice interrupted their eavesdropping.
The tent door opened, and Hu Jun adjusted his belt and walked out, followed by Liu Tao, who was very pretty and had rosy cheeks.
"Brother, you..."
"Brother Jun." Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "I think the logistics of our crew should not have received kickbacks."
< br>"What do you mean?" Hu Jun looked confused.
“If they are greedy for money, the quality of this tent is even slightly worse, and it will easily collapse by you two.”
"Hahahaha..." Liu Tao covered his mouth and laughed wildly. This woman was open-minded and showed no shame at all.
"Uh, cough, cough..." Hu Jun coughed just like last time to hide his embarrassment: "Brothers, we are all adults, I won't explain more about this."
"Also I hope you can keep it a secret for us."
"What are you talking about?" Liu Taowu smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "He was one-on-one with Hao and Xinxin before."
"We were trying out a show." Chen Hao quickly explained shyly.
"We are also auditioning." Liu Tao blinked and showed a look that both you and I understand.
"I..."
Chen Hao still wanted to explain, but was stopped by Zhang Yuan.
"Don't disturb others." Then he pulled her away.
"Why didn't you let me say it?" After walking a few steps, Chen asked him angrily.
"Looks like a hammer, everyone is a nail, your explanation is useless." Zhang Yuan doesn't understand them yet.
"Qiao Feng and A'Zhu are a couple, just think that they bring their feelings in the play outside the play."
Chen Hao suddenly thought that Zhang Yuan had just said that Ma Yuke was also leading the show. The emotion in the play suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
The main reason is that the other party doesn't suit her.
"Hoo, ho, ho..." Chen Hao's cheeks were still red and his breathing was rapid.
The soul-crushing voice just now was still in her ears, making it difficult for her to calm down.
I only feel that there is a hot mass rising in my Dantian.
Chen Hao glanced at Zhang Yuan beside him, who was much closer than Ma Yuke.
Because of my father's illness, I haven't had a boyfriend for two years.
The lust that had been sealed for a long time seemed to be loosened by the two provocations of Hu Jun and Liu Tao.
...
In the afternoon, the crew called it a day.
Big Beard suddenly sent someone to summon all the actors together.
Everyone sat in a row, waiting for the arrival of this big producer.
“I’m keeping everyone here today because I have something important to say.” Zhang Jizhong held the microphone with a serious expression.
"Just now, a very serious incident happened to our crew."
"Someone did something that was not in the interests of the team."
Hu Junhe, who was sitting next to Zhang Yuan Liu Tao and the other two turned to look at him.
"Brother, didn't I ask you to keep it a secret for me?" Hu Jun glared with a pair of tiger eyes.
Zhang Yuan:……
No, you two still know that it’s not good to do this on the set!
“My attitude towards such people is that if they do not meet the requirements of the crew, they will be fired!” Bearded Zhang glanced at everyone with eyes like eagles.
All the actors were silent, but Zhang Yuan remained calm.
Because he had already guessed everything that was going to happen.
Liu Tao and Hu Jun turned pale and frightened.
Holy shit, just relax and do some exercise and you’re going to get kicked out?
Chen Hao also grabbed his arm forcefully: "You really reported them both."
At the same time, there was a strong sense of disappointment in his heart.
"Why are you like this?" Chen Hao showed a ferocious look to him for the first time: "I will never pay attention to you again!"
After saying that, he moved his seat Moved away from Zhang Yuan's direction.
The bearded man in front of the man continued.
"Now, I officially announce!"
"Chief Director Zhou Xiaowen, get out of class is over!"
