Chapter 10 The driver and the policewoman

"What, let me make a guest appearance? No, no, I'm not free!"

Wang Dalun's head shook like a rattle. He pointed to Lao Gao's account book piled on the table and various information, and said, "I said, "Brother, how are I busy? I haven't finished tomorrow's announcement yet, so how can I have time to make a guest appearance?"

Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands and laughed: "Yes, I know you are busy. You are the hardest one in the crew. I see all these. Yesterday, I told Ning Dai on the phone that Dalun is really good. Not only does he act without acting, but he is in good order, and he can also spend a small amount of money to do big things, just a whole lot of talent..."

"Didai, don't you give me this again. Isn't it just a driver of Yimao? With a few lines, can't you find a guest appearance? Besides, there are drivers of Yimao all over the streets, so you can just go out to pull one, which makes it more realistic."

As the director and deputy director of the production, Wang Dalun certainly knew what roles the crew lacked now. He didn't want to play the driver of this Moon. On the one hand, he was really busy and really didn't have time to join in the fun. On the other hand, he felt that the character of the Moon driver in the play was too fake, and he didn't feel at all in the guest role.

"That's not OK! You think making a movie is a playhouse, it's not OK."

Zhang Yuan and Lao Jia are two extremes. Lao Jia likes to use ordinary people who have no acting experience. In his words, that is reality, and what he wants is real movies. Although Zhang Yuan also emphasizes reality in filming, his concept and role must be shaped through actors, and not all cats and dogs can make movies.

"I have seen several actors before, but they are not suitable. You said that if you go back to Beijing to find them now, the back and forth will not only affect the shooting process, but also waste money. So I think the crew can digest it by themselves. It seems that you are the most suitable for you." Zhang Yuan looked sad and said very sincerely.

Zhang Yuan also knows Wang Dalun very well. Don’t look at this kid who is so whispering, he is actually very soft-hearted and is still grateful. The reason why Zhang Yuan trusts him so much is because he values ​​this point.

Sure enough, Wang Dalun didn't say anything. He knew that Zhang Yuan was very pretentious when selecting actors. Sometimes you might think he was very hasty, just like Zhang Yuan picked him up from the street to play the leading male lead. In his words, it was just that he felt it right. But sometimes he had very strict requirements, even if he was just a small supporting role, he was very serious.

But his main consideration was the cost. He went back to Beijing to pick actors. The travel fee, room fee, and movie pay would definitely cost tens of thousands. Now his funds are already short of money, and he will overspent if he accidentally makes him feel like he is not bad enough to squeeze out some time to play guest appearances.

"You can make me a guest appearance, but you have to change the lines to me." He said.

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Do you think the driver's lines of Namo are too fake, and you feel like you are a living Lei Feng?"

"That's not it!" Wang Dalun understood in his heart when he saw Zhang Yuan's appearance. Such lines should not appear in his movies at all. No need to ask, they must be the result of compromise with the relevant departments. Otherwise, how could the script be reviewed repeatedly for seven months and revised countless times. This was almost unrecognizable.

You said that the driver of the motorcycle race came out to take on work on New Year's Eve, just to earn two more money! There are no buses on the night, and it is still on New Year's Eve, just one motorcycle race, typical peak season, Spring Festival travel, and seller's market. It is very common to raise the price. Why do scenic spots have to increase tickets during peak season? Why do train tickets have to increase prices when the Spring Festival travel season are in the same way? This is the same thing. If you don't slaughter you hard, even if you are very polite, the fare is still charged half the price. It seems that you came out to learn from Lei Feng on New Year's Eve?!

Moreover, the captain in the play is wearing a police uniform. The driver of the motorcycle claimed to be laid off and was only open to the family to support his family. In the past, drivers of motorcycles at the bottom of the society like them have all kinds of taxes and fined traffic police. The ones they hate the most are probably those who wear big blocks, how could they give them half price? As the saying in the industry, this is called not living at all.

"So, I'm going to shoot two versions."

"Can this work? You have just lifted the ban now." Wang Dalun couldn't help but worry. He knew what Zhang Yuan meant, it was just to use a modified version when submitting for review, and everything was the same as before.

"It's okay!" Zhang Yuan said with a clear look on his face, "There are too many people doing such things. As long as no one reports it, everything will be OK!"

"Okay, it's just a scene anyway. By the way, when will the actor who plays the police arrive? According to the current shooting progress, it will be her turn to play in less than a week." Wang Dalun nodded and asked again.

Strictly speaking, this drama is a drama with two female leads. Liu Ling plays the prisoner Tao Lan, and the actress who plays the police is said to be an artist under the famous agent Hua Jie, who is now in the circle. She has not reported to the crew for a long time because she is filming a TV series. Zhang Yuan has only seen the photos. The reason why she has made her so hasty is that on the one hand, it is because of his words, which is that she feels right, so she used it.

But now Zhang Yuan was also scratching his head. He had already agreed with Sister Hua to schedule, but because the actress's TV series was not fast, she delayed it until now.

"You call and urge it, it's best to report to the crew two days in advance."

...

Capital. Airport.

A bus stopped at the door of international and Hong Kong and Macao departing. The door opened. A group of people wearing red sun hats went down one after another. The leader waved the small flag in his hand and greeted everyone into the waiting hall.

There was a young girl in the team with a ponytail and thick lips. She seemed to have two red plateaus on her face. At first glance, she might look familiar, but this girl with a typical northern appearance was covered with the streets. She might be relatively beautiful, but she could occasionally attract the attention of several men.

Li Bingbing was a little excited. She had long thought of capitalist society to open her eyes. Her family was poor before, and her tuition fee of more than 10,000 yuan when she was in college almost died.

Fortunately, she has always worked very hard, and her sketches she wrote and performed during her school days won the first prize in the country. She used all her rest time to shoot advertisements and made money as a guest star in a small role without sayings on the crew. In addition to paying for her mother's high medical expenses and the debts her family owed for school, she also had to fund her sister's tuition and living expenses.

At first, the pressure of life made her almost breathless. Later, after her hard work, her life finally improved. The family no longer worried about debts and her mother's medical expenses, and her sister successfully graduated from college and became a reporter.

Although she is not famous now, fortunately, after graduating from college last year, she signed a reliable agent. Sister Hua contacted her a lot of jobs. In addition to playing Princess Anle in the epic drama "The Palace of Ming Dynasty", she also starred in a TV series.

Now that the TV series has just been completed, she sneaked back to the capital without telling it, just to be lazy and go to Hong Kong to open her eyes. She also heard that every year around Christmas is the discount season in Hong Kong, with various world-renowned brands, cosmetics, jewelry, clothes, and bags, which are extremely cheaper than in China.

Thank you for so many years, she has to relax and fight hard. She even thought about what to buy for her parents and gifts to her sister. She can't treat herself badly. She wants cosmetics, jewelry, clothes, and bags.

Just as she was following the tour group, looking forward to the scene of walking on the streets of Hong Kong a few hours later, the cell phone in her bag rang out in a vague way.

When she took out her phone and saw the name displayed on the screen, she secretly said in her heart: Oh no! It was Sister Hua's phone number. She regretted not turning off her phone when she went out. When she arrived in Hong Kong like this, even if Sister Hua knew, she would have no choice.

But should I accept it now?

She hesitated for a moment and answered the phone.

"Bingbing, the TV series has been completed. Have you returned to the capital?"

"I...I'm back." Because she came back without telling Sister Hua, she was very confident.

Sister Hua said excitedly on the phone: "It's good to be back. Let me tell you a good news. The new film directed by Zhang Yuan, "Going Home for the New Year", has fallen in love with you and asked you to play a female policeman. You should pack up quickly and we will report to the crew tomorrow."

The original good mood was suddenly shook without a trace by the phone call. Over the past year, she has been working almost every day, either filming or filming commercials. Besides the TV series she just finished filming, she is considered the heroine, and the rest are all supporting roles. Although she made a lot of money, she felt very tired at the moment and just wanted to relax.

She subconsciously said, "This is impossible. I signed up for a tour group to Hong Kong. Now everyone is at the airport and I am about to board the plane."

Unexpectedly, she said just like this, Sister Hua on the other end of the phone exploded suddenly. She heard Sister Hua yell at her on the phone: "Li Bingbing, let me tell you, do you still want to be an actor? If you don't want to, then you might as well go home to get married and have children! Do you know, this is the drama directed by Zhang Yuan! Do you know how many awards he won internationally? This is the first movie after he was lifted from the ban. I have watched the script. The female policeman in it is the second female lead. No, it should be considered the first female lead. Think about it, what a good opportunity this is, why are you..."

Sister Hua scolded her on the phone, maybe it was the heroine of the movie that made her heart moved; maybe it was Sister Hua's reprimand that made her realize that only people who are sincerely good for her, such as parents, would say this to their children. Thinking of every bit of getting along with Sister Hua over the past year, she suddenly smiled, interrupted Sister Hua's nagging to the phone, and said, "I won't go to Hong Kong, I'll be back."

Sister Hua on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. Obviously, she didn't expect her transformation to be so fast, but Sister Hua immediately said, "Then you take a taxi and come to my house directly. Let's go to the crew today."

This was obviously because she was afraid that she would regret it. Li Bingbing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sister Hua, then you have to ask me to refund the money for travel and go home to pack up your things, right?"

"I will help you with the money for travel. You don't have to go home to clean it up. I have bed sheets, quilt covers, etc., so I will clean it up for you now. You can take a taxi and go directly to my house."
