Chapter 249 Again and again(1/2)
After changing rooms, Qiu Ming and Zhuo Lan didn't feel anything different.
It's just a room, but the view outside the window is actually pretty good.
If you really want to talk about it, the difference is just whether you can see or not see the lighthouse.
I'm usually busy with work, so I don't really read much when I have nothing to do.
On the second day, the filming of the program continued.
Because the progress had been delayed for a day before, the shooting on this day was obviously accelerated.
However, compared to the previous day, Lin Wan's performance was obviously much better, and she didn't lose focus at all.
She does have her own two skills in variety shows. She often pretends to be silly and cute. The persona of a confused old artist is well established. It can be regarded as a very effective and repeated use of the plot in the show.
Under the leadership of Lin Wan, other guests performed very well, so the program progressed very quickly, and the venue could be changed in just half a day.
Qiu Ming made a special observation and found that Lin Wan always ignored Zhuo Lan intentionally or unintentionally during the recording of the program.
In fact, you wouldn't be able to tell if you didn't look carefully, because Lin Wan acted very freely and didn't seem to be targeting anyone.
But Qiu Ming discovered that Lin Wan never took the initiative to talk to Zhuo Lan. Even if she wanted to talk to Zhuo Lan sometimes, she would just say a word or two casually, and then immediately go elsewhere.
This made Qiu Ming make a judgment in his mind. The change of rooms was definitely not an accident. Lin Wan was really targeting Zhuo Lan. As for the specific reason, he didn't know, so he could only look at it again.
When changing venues, Qiu Ming was sitting in the car and received a call from the company's artist department, saying that the matter he inquired about yesterday had results.
It turns out that Lin Wan's brother's daughter is called Lin Jin, and she is the heroine of the new drama "Lotus Queen". This is a big production, with several well-known companies in the industry co-investing, and it has received a lot of attention since the project was established.
Moreover, the producers' hype has been constant, which makes this drama a bit like "the drama has already become a hit before it is filmed".
According to the Artists Department, the director of this drama had previously invited Zhuo Lan to audition and promoted it heavily, but ultimately nothing happened.
As soon as he heard the title of the play, Qiu Ming remembered it. Lin Xiaoxiao mentioned to him that when the director of this play invited Zhuo Lan, it happened that Zhuo Lan had just won the "Best Newcomer at the Second Youth Film Festival". They were a little bit
Hype means.
This kind of hype is beneficial to both parties. Feitianxia Media certainly cooperated, but in the end they found an excuse that there was no schedule and pushed it away.
Originally, the matter should have ended like this, but unexpectedly, the news that the heroine originally appointed by the other party broke the news that she was pregnant out of wedlock, so the crew had to change the actress, so the idea was turned to Zhuo Lan again.
At that time, Zhuo Lan's new drama "I Want to Take You on a Travel" happened to be airing. Although it only aired for about ten episodes, her character image was so good that the crew of "Lotus Queen" took the initiative to come to her.
To be honest, Lin Xiaoxiao was quite excited at the time. After all, it was such a big production. As long as she participated in it, no matter what the final result of the show was, Zhuo Lan would be noticed by those big companies and officially enter the ranks of first-line actors.
Therefore, when the other party contacted him, she immediately called Qiu Ming to listen to Qiu Ming's thoughts first.
Qiu Ming had the support of the results of "plot prediction" and led Zhuo Lan to accept the drama "Silent Loud", so naturally he would not consider anything else.
Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to reject the other party, and eventually attracted threats from the other party's producer named Xiao...
After this incident, the other party sent several press releases, probably saying something like, "I tried very hard to promote Zhuo Lan to join the crew, but unfortunately Zhuo Lan didn't agree." The implicit meaning behind the words was that Zhuo Lan was playing a big role.
.
Soon, the voice of Zhuo Lan playing a big name became very loud.
Fortunately, Feitianxia Media was not a vegetarian. It also used its own strength to fight back and finally let the matter pass.
Later, "Lotus Queen" selected a new heroine candidate, Lin Wan's nephew daughter Lin Jin.
Originally, this was nothing. After all, it was a good thing for Lin Jin to get a role in such a big drama. Speaking of which, she should also thank Zhuo Lan for rejecting this role.
But the problem lies with the fans on both sides.
Zhuo Lan's fans jumped out and started a fight for their idol when Zhuo Lan was said to be "acting like a big name". They felt that the crew of "Lotus Queen" was using their idol to hype up, and then smeared Bilian.
Now I heard that "The Lotus Queen" has chosen a heroine who is not as good as Zhuo Lan in terms of acting skills or fame. People immediately came out to badmouth her, saying that the crew would settle for the next best thing if they couldn't hire their idol. "The actor is not good", "too
That’s it”, “It’s okay if you don’t look at it”.
Although Lin Jin is not as good as Zhuo Lan in terms of acting skills and fame, she can be considered a second-generation star after all. Not to mention her aunt Lin Wan, her parents are also actors. Although she is not well-known, she has worked hard in this industry for so many years.
There must be some background connections.
Therefore, Lin Jin has always had exposure since her debut, and she also has her own fans.
Seeing Zhuo Lan's fans jumping like this, of course they couldn't resist it, and of course they would jump out and speak out for Lin Jin.
Ever since, the two sides started to quarrel.
Although this matter did not become a hot topic, it was still very noisy, and it was very likely that the two sides were enemies and wanted to fight to the death.
Although Qiu Ming had noticed it before, he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, neither party took the stage on their own, it was just the fans spontaneously expressing their anger. There was no need to expand the situation. After a while, the matter would be over.
This is a cold treatment, and brokerage companies generally handle it this way.
No matter what kind of popularity it is, it is a good thing for artists.
To put it bluntly, popularity is what it is. It just needs to attract attention, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.
However, according to the artist department, Lin Wan is probably here to cause trouble for Zhuo Lan on behalf of her niece.
"It's only a week anyway. Let's avoid her from now on."
Qiu Ming told Zhuo Lan the matter immediately and then gave instructions.
Now that we have figured out the reason, things will be easier to handle.
Anyway, it’s just two episodes of the program. Zhuo Lan has finished recording and gone away. From now on, he should try to have as little contact with Lin Wan as possible. There is no need to get into a quarrel with him.
Moreover, this announcement came from the results of the "plot prediction", so Qiu Ming felt that there should be no big problem.
All in all, give in as much as possible, record the program and leave.
The second shooting location of the program team was in a vineyard. The environment was very nice and it actually looked a bit European in medieval style.
A group of guests transformed into medieval European characters, such as knights, knights, manors, farmers, etc. Zhuo Lan's role here is one of the three princesses.
The script of the show is very simple. Only one princess is real and the other two are fake. Every time the guests play a game, the winner will get one of the characteristics of the real princess to see who can find the real princess in the end.
In the script, Zhuo Lan is the real princess and the protagonist of this episode.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional. From the beginning of the filming, Lin Wan started to get into trouble again. The host handed her some interesting things to say, but she couldn’t catch them at all.
Fortunately, there was another guest with a silly and sweet personality nearby, who made jokes from time to time, which finally made things come together.
Others may not think anything of it. They just think that Lin Wan is in a bad state and has not adjusted.
But Qiu Ming knew that this eldest sister was probably holding back something else.
It wasn't until evening that the director called to stop.
Although the filming has been going on, the progress is actually not very fast. The reason is that Lin Wan is not in good condition. The filming is always bumpy and cannot continue to follow the script.
At night, the door was knocked again, and the director and production director came again.
After Qiu Ming let them into the room, he just looked at them and did not speak immediately.
Over and over again, sometimes it is a good thing to value harmony, but you should not make others feel that you are a soft persimmon.
The expressions on the faces of the director and production director were a little embarrassed. They knew they were in the wrong, but they really had no other choice.
"Qiu Ming, I'm really ashamed. We also know that this is a bit unfair to Zhuo Lan, but after discussing it for a long time, I still think I should come over and ask for your opinion."
After a moment of silence, the production director spoke first.
That time before, it was the director who spoke up, but obviously this time the director didn't want to be a villain anymore, so it was the production director's turn to speak.
Qiu Ming said nothing, took a sip of water, and waited for the production director to continue.
The production director glanced at Qiu Ming and could only continue: "Well, tomorrow there will be an outdoor scene of Zhuo Lan walking alone on the beach. Can Zhuo Lan shoot it first?"
Qiu Ming thought about it. He had also read the program script. As a real princess, Zhuo Lan did have a scene walking alone on the beach.
The main purpose of this scene is to introduce the background and tell everyone how the real princess lived among the people.
After pondering for a while, Qiu Ming said: "If I remember correctly, this scene should have been filmed at the end of the show, right? Why did it suddenly change?"
The production director didn't explain it directly. What does shooting first mean? Shooting first means getting up early in the morning to shoot. This is definitely a torturous thing.
Obviously, the script was set before and it was shot after dusk. It was also dark, so it could be used in the early morning.
Now he suddenly said that he wanted to "shoot first". Qiu Ming knew how cold it was at the beach early in the morning.
What do you want to do if you don't let people sleep well and get up early to shoot such a seaside location?
The production director swallowed and said a little helplessly: "The main reason is that we just went to communicate with Sister Wan. She needs to leave early tomorrow. She has another announcement in Hangzhou and needs to rush there."
"That's okay, just let Sister Wan go. We can shoot the location later."
Qiu Ming laughed.
But the production director shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You know, Qiu Ming, our progress is already slow. We must finish filming tomorrow and can't delay it any longer. If Sister Wan wants to leave early, we can only catch up."
That’s it.”
Qiu Ming looked at the director, then at the production director, and asked, "So, Zhuo Lan, we really have to shoot this location first?"
The director and production director looked at each other, then looked at Qiu Ming, both with apologies in their eyes.
Qiu Ming added: "You two should know why the filming progress of the program is slow. Now that they have asked us, Zhuo Lan, to shoot this location first, I just want to ask, what is this? Is it deliberately targeting us?"
To be continued...
