Chapter 20 Producer Lao Li
The revised script Zhang Chen used some contrasts to contrast Juno's friendship with Shara.
Guan Yue ran to a platform and hid. When she heard Juno's call, instead of showing up, she wanted to use Juno to lure the monster away, showing her selfishness.
In contrast, Juno firmly said that she would not leave if she could not find Shala, which fully demonstrated Juno's kindness to Shala, and at the same time, it was also a betrayal of Shala later. Make comparisons.
Zhang Chen made some improvements to the image of Juno, removing some of the annoying aspects of the original work, such as secretly changing the location, but still retained the identity of the mistress, which was the cause of the conflict between her and Shara. The fuse must be retained.
In short, although Juno is a mistress, she is a special mistress. She is really good to Xia La.
At the same time, Xia La, who was running for her life, accidentally entered the monster's cafeteria, where she met Yang Xiaoyue who was still breathing.
Yang Xiaoyue said that it was Juno who caused her to be like this, and also revealed the adultery between Juno and his boyfriend.
Since then, the trust between Shara and Juno has been in crisis.
"Stuck, this is over. Let's take a break. We will continue shooting in half an hour. The props will be used to change the scene."
After shooting one shot, everyone enjoyed this short break.
Then I saw several monsters gathering together. Some were yawning, while others took out cigarettes and started smoking.
The monster yawns and smokes?
Even though I have seen it several times, everyone still laughed when they saw this funny scene.
The monsters didn't care and continued to smoke contentedly.
Special effects makeup is very time-consuming. The actors who play monsters have to come three hours earlier than others every day just to put on makeup. After putting on makeup, they cannot take it off casually. Even when they eat, they have to bear the appearance of the monster.
So, when there is no action, you can often see monster-looking guys wandering around the set wearing pajamas.
What these guys like most is to suddenly jump out and scare people, and they never tire of it.
Ning Hao faithfully recorded this scene, which Zhang Chen told him to use as a behind-the-scenes trailer.
“Thank you for your hard work, come and eat fruit.”
Lao Li appeared at the right time, and several fruit vendors appeared with him, pulling fruits on small carts.
When everyone heard the good news, they immediately rushed over.
Old Li watched all this happily, then walked to Zhang Chen, took out another bag of fruit he was carrying and greeted: "Director Zhang, eat the fruit, Miss Che, thank you for your hard work, come here quickly When eating fruit, we, Mr. Li, have specially ordered us to greet you two.”
The fruit in Lao Li’s hand is obviously specially made and different from the commercial products behind.
Every time this happens, other people will consciously avoid it. Didn’t you hear that it is specially prepared for directors and starring actors?
Of course, Zhang Chen knew that these fruits were not for him. The reason why he also called them was because he didn't want to appear too conspicuous.
Che Xiao had a vague feeling, but the fruit was really delicious, so she just pretended not to know.
She knows the goods. The fruits that Lao Li gave her and the director were not ordinary fruits. A bunch of grapes cost more than a hundred.
“Thank you, Mr. Li, for your hospitality.”
“No need to thank me, just thank our Director Li. He specifically told us to take good care of Miss Che.”
Lao Li accepted Che Xiao's words with a smile. As long as Che Xiao remembered Mr. Li's kindness, his mission would be accomplished.
"Uncle Li, sit down~"
Zhang Chen patted the stool next to him. Old Li was not polite and sat down next to him.
On the crew, everyone likes Lao Li as a producer because he doesn't care about anything and will bring fruits to reward everyone from time to time.
Zhang Chen also had a good impression of him.
I thought that the other party would seize the rights, after all, he was the representative of a big investor, but unexpectedly, everything turned out to be peaceful.
Lao Li is too low-key. If he hadn't brought some fruits over every now and then to reward the crew, many people on the crew wouldn't even know that he was a producer.
This person does not fight for power or profit in the crew. The meaning of his existence seems to be to help the richest man Li show his favor to Che Xiao.
Lao Li left after chatting for a few words. Only then did Cao Bingkun come over. "Something delicious, give me a taste."
He was shameless, and he was already eating grapes without waiting for Zhang Chen to answer.
Others did not dare to make mistakes. They knew that Cao Bingkun and the director were good buddies.
"Old Cao, stay away from me." Cao Bingkun now has a standard 'hateful face', an ugly face that makes people sick to their stomachs.
“I will never play this kind of role again in the future.”
Playing a monster not only requires you to get up several hours early every day to put on makeup, but the audience still doesn’t recognize your face after the performance, which can be said to be a great effort. Unpleasant.
If this wasn't Zhang Chen's movie, Lao Cao would have given up his career long ago.
"Special actors come here to touch up their makeup..." Xiao Jin shouted over there, and all the actors playing monsters walked over one after another. The filming was already halfway through, and the rest of the scenes were basically monsters chasing women. The protagonist and monsters appear a lot, and they need to touch up their makeup from time to time.
......
After work in the evening, Zhang Chen held a meeting as usual with people from the photography, art, costume and other departments to confirm the content to be shot the next day.
In another hotel room, three women, Che Xiao, Chen Xi, and Zeng Li, sat together. The table in front of them was filled with various snacks. The three women raised their cans of beer and clinked them together. ：
"Cheers, happy birthday to Dalizi~"
"Happy birthday to Sister Lizi~"
It turns out that today is Zeng Li's birthday, but she didn't like the excitement, so she just called her virginity quietly. The best Che Xiao and Chen Xi celebrated alone.
“Eat fruit, eat fruit, these fruits are delicious~”
Che Xiao asked everyone to eat fruit. She specially brought the fruit back from the crew, and it was Lao Li who brought it. Those high-end fruits.
"Well, it's so delicious. Sister Che Xiao, we really benefit from you. I have seen these fruits in a fruit market. They are so valuable. They cost hundreds. It is said that celebrities usually buy them there. Fruit, our investors are so kind to you~"
"Go, stop talking nonsense~"
Che Xiao spat. When the three of them were in private, the other two women often He joked that Mr. Li was probably attracted to her, otherwise why would he feed her alone.
Che Xiao probably had similar speculations in her mind, but the richest man Li didn't say it clearly, and they used such high-sounding excuses, so she kept pretending not to know.
"Okay, stop talking about me, talk about you. Your scene is finished today. When are you going to leave?"
"I'm not leaving. I've already agreed with Director Zhang that I will record it for him on the spot for free."
"Huh? Why?"
"It's okay, I just think being an actor is great. It’s boring. I want to go behind the scenes.”
“What’s going on?”
“The actress who auditioned a while ago failed, and she wanted to be a powerless actress. It’s too difficult to get along in the industry, and good opportunities won’t come to me at all. If you want to get ahead, you can give me something in exchange...”
After hearing what Chen Xi said, the three women all fell silent.
Have they never encountered what Chen Xi said before? Some of them are pretty good, but some of them explicitly say they want to sleep with you. What can you do? If you don’t agree, you’ll just watch the opportunity fall on someone else’s head. If you agree, you won’t be willing to accept it.
No way, this is the current situation in the entertainment industry.
"Sister Che Xiao, if one day an investor makes it clear to you, you must consider it carefully. I have seen through it all. In our circle, you can't go far without the support of investors, Sister Lizi Yes, Director Zhang is a potential stock, so you must seize it..."
"Why are you still involved with me?" Zeng Li felt like she was innocently shot, "Director Zhang didn't like me."< br>
"That's not necessarily true. I saw it with my own eyes during the rock climbing scene that day. Director Zhang stared at your long legs for ten minutes..."
"?"
Pfft~
Che Xiao, who was next to her, couldn't help but laugh. She felt quite happy as good sisters making a fool of themselves together.
