Time is like cleavage, and once you lie down, it’s gone.

"The North Wind Blows" is a period drama. The scenes in the early and mid-term are concentrated in a special group of young people in a corner of a special era. Therefore, in the early and mid-term filming, most of the actors in the group are young people.

In addition to the venue, extras and assistants from each group, the whole group is full of fresh faces.

In the first week of the filming, the fighting spirit on the set was quite high. Even though I stayed up for three nights, wrapped in thick coats, a few people leaned into the corners for a while, and woke up, they immediately became enthusiastic and devoted to the shooting work.

This is an advantage of being young and having little experience, but as the shooting progress progresses, the disadvantages begin to gradually emerge and are not lasting.

Shooting is a marathon, and temporary enthusiasm alone is not enough to support the whole process. You also have to master certain skills and reasonably allocate physical fitness.

Xu Rong got out of the car, and the art team was still discussing the set with the teacher in the props team, and glanced at the extras who were tilted around the sidelines, feeling quite complicated.

When he was a part-time actor, he had the idea of ​​earning tuition fees and didn't expect anything else. However, the current extras and young people in the group were obviously different from him. He had little money and was tired and stayed up late. The reason why he could still grit his teeth and bear it was just that his dreams were supported.

They either want to become big stars in the future or fantasize about becoming big directors one day. But the current suffering is only a hardship that must be experienced on the road to success. They are here to be extras and do miscellaneous work, but they never thought of being extras and doing miscellaneous work all the time.

Dreams are precious, but most of the time, cheap is worthless, because in no time, the cold reality will extinguish the enthusiasm in most people's hearts. They regard dreams as an unspeakable secret and leave quietly.

It is not time to leave yet, because their ID card is still detained by the crew.

But as the filming took place, some people gradually felt the layers of pyramids in the relatively closed crew, and gradually realized that their dreams were simply out of reach. The energy was suddenly blew away, and no scene began to hold on to the idea of ​​"Let the director shout it out quickly."

Although An Jian has a square face and a round eyes and looks careless, he is a Virgo in character. He is not very good at writing scripts, but he does not accept coping and making do with filming.

Just like before, he would compromise, but once he sat behind the monitor, he would not retreat easily.

Xu Rong came here at 10 o'clock in the morning, but it was already half past two. He got off the car every once in a while and took a look, but he only took one photo and started a long wait again.

What I want to film is Liu Qing's crying scene. Maybe because I have been in so many nights recently, the weather is cold, my eyes are dry, and my eye drops and wind and oil are not good to take turns to work. I finally cried. An Jian looked at the surveillance camera and couldn't even maintain his forced smile: "Don't take a photo, you can rest and find the feeling."

This is very common. Once the shooting enters the middle stage, the state will decline and the progress will often be like a turtle crawling.

And there is only one solution, etc.

But this is a vicious cycle. The more delayed it is, in order to catch up with the construction period, the more you have to stay up late and the condition will decline more severely.

Xu Rong lay in the car for a long time and felt that he was very generous. He didn't want to go back at this time. He looked at it and said that Gao Mantang hadn't come here today, and some scenes of going to the countryside were about to be finished. He stayed in the hotel all day, trying to quickly drive out the plot that was to be changed later.

Xu Rong stood for a while, walked to An Jian, who was smoking with his head down, and asked, "Director, are you still going to have a big night today?"

An Jian nodded subconsciously, his big eyes were covered with bloodshots. He rolled up his sleeves, pointed his watch with a cigarette finger, and said, "You can't stand it. It's halfway through this day, and I haven't photographed a single game."

Xu Rong sighed silently. An Jian was under too much pressure and ignored the overall state of the crew. Maybe he realized it, but the director's job is not just to keep an eye on surveillance.

Seeing that Xu Rong had not left, An Jian raised his head again and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Although he, Xu Rong and Gao Mantang are always red and have thick necks due to the plot, most of the time, he and Xu Rong stand aside.

Because once the argument was too late, Gao Mantang was forced to become anxious, and eventually he always said, "I'm the screenwriter!" and "You know how to make a hammer!" The two of them couldn't speak.

The most important thing is that Xu Rong is willing to contribute, which is what An Jian admires most.

When a person is born, in some industries, talent always has high or low talents. However, those with high talents may not be able to make good fortune in industries with great talent, and those with low talents may not be able to make poor fortunes.

Because most people with high talent or ability will only use 30% of their strength most of the time, because not everyone is a Virgo, almost the same gentleman, and almost the same ladies often account for the majority. Those with a little bit of talent may get one or two points due to different situations and personalities, or eight or nine points.

Xu Rong is very talented in acting, and An Jian can see this when he starts filming the first scene. Under normal circumstances, he only needs to put in 30% of his strength to beat 80% of his colleagues, but he chose to use 90%.

Just like recently, when there is no show, he always goes to the county hospital because some of his plays are about to play an aphasia patient.

For the specific manifestation of aphasia, he and Gao Mantang and Xu Rong also argued whether the aphasia-like handsome boy should become a fool.

Finally, Xu Rong recorded the conversation between him and the doctor and captured the two of him and Gao Mantang, and the dispute came to an end.

With such great strength, he can basically guarantee that he will beat 99% of his peers in terms of professional level evaluation.

An Jian is actually quite curious. Xu Rong became popular at the beginning of last year and his works have never stopped. From "Ro Perron" to "Ding Li", to the popular "Zhu Chuanwen" some time ago, they are highly recognized by the industry. He can give himself a vacation.

Xu Rong lowered his voice and said, "Director, you go back early to rest today. You see, your eyes are covered with blood. Now you haven't even been half of the progress. It's still early. I'm sick and lying in bed for two or three days. The crew still revolves around you, but our entire team is revolving around you. If you get tired, you have to stop immediately. I know you want to shoot well, but you don't think about yourself, but you have to consider our drama."

What Xu Rong wants to express is actually, are you blind? Didn’t you see that a large group of people in the crew are almost exhausted and paralyzed? Can’t people take a break?

But the same content, how to express it, has different effects. This is one of Xu Rong's biggest growth in the past few years, besides improving her acting skills.

"Thank you." An Jian squeezed out a smile that was even more embarrassing than crying, and sighed, "But you haven't caught up with the progress."

"Producer Yang is elusive all day long, throwing everything to us, maybe where to be free and easy." Xu Rong thought for a while and said with a smile, "We have to find something for him, such as asking for some money to find a funder."

An Jian was stunned. What's the point, Yang Zhensheng's grandson found six executives to help him work, and he had never shown any of his own faces. After Xu Rong reminded him, he suddenly realized that he was exhausted and rushed to the construction period and saved the budget. Yang Zhensheng, the producer, was a bit too leisurely, right?

"Okay, work will be done at 7 o'clock, even if there is no filming, I have to finish work at 7 o'clock today."

When Xu Rong heard this, he was amused and said, "Then I'm going to the city, director? I'll leave work at 7 o'clock, so it's definitely not my turn to play."

An Jian frowned, looked at him for a while, and asked uncertainly: "Xu Rong, are you waiting for me here, right?"

Xu Rong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "How can I do it? I'm equivalent to working overtime. If I hadn't played a good fool, could I stare at a patient with aphasia like a fool for a long time?"

"Haha." An Jian laughed and made a gesture to Tian Chenshan in the distance, "Go and go, don't be too late, go back early to rest."

"become."

Xu Rong got into the car and stuffed two packs of cigarettes to the driver Master Liu, saying, "Brother Liu, I have to trouble you again."

Master Liu sent him to the county hospital, which was arranged by the production director Gao Yalin, but two packs of cigarettes can make people work happily.

"Hey, Teacher Xu, it's really no need. Why are you looking at you so polite?"

"I don't smoke because my friend gave it. I just don't smoke. You just happened to smoke it, so I brought it to you."

"Shuaizi, wait for me." Xu Rong had just sat down, and Yu Heng, who had long faces and small eyes, rushed over and pulled the car door with one hand, "Shuaizi, take me with you?"

Xu Rong looked at Yu Heng in confusion and asked, "Do you know where I'm going?"

Yu Heng said: "I heard from Teacher Yan Ni say that you went to the hospital to observe life. Can I follow you?"

"Haha, let's go."

After spending more than half a month together, the two were quite familiar. Yu Heng was three years older than Xu Rong, but although Xu Rong had never acted arrogantly, the differences in the crew treated the two very clearly highlighted the difference in status. In the opponent's scene, Xu Rong's fancy crushing made Yu Heng very convinced.

Xu Rong observed every move of aphasia patients. Yu Heng's purpose was also simple. He observed Xu Rong. Because through this period of attention, he gradually understood a truth from envy and jealousy. The reason why a person can succeed is that there are always points that others cannot reach, whether it is good or bad, because only when it is different can he be a group.

But this cannot be said. He was afraid that Xu Rong would not play with him after he knew his thoughts.

When the car started, Xu Rong first smiled and said to Master Liu: "Brother Liu, if you want to, just suck it, just suck it and just take a while to the window."

Master Liu didn't look back and said, "It's not a problem, it's not a problem. It's here in a while. I just drew it before getting on the bus."

Xu Rong smiled and didn't say anything. Two days ago, Master Liu was waiting for him at the hospital gate. When he came out, there were piles of cigarette butts on the ground, and he probably felt that he was addicted to smoking.

He turned his head again, looked at Yu Heng, and asked, "When did Brother Yu debut?"

Yu Heng didn't care much about Xu Rong's words. He was thinking about another thing. He also smoked, but he sat with Xu Rong. He didn't dare to smoke, and Master Liu didn't smoke either. But the words listened to it, which made people feel respected.

He felt that he had learned it.

"I debuted lately and only started filming TV series last year. The programs I performed before were mainly sketches and dramas."

Xu Rong knew this, Yu Heng was a member of the system.

Yu Heng changed his mind and said with a smile: "Actually, if these are counted, his debut should have been in 2005. That year, Teacher Guo and Teacher Cai Ming led a sketch to perform."

"Wow." Xu Rong really didn't know this. Yu Heng's start was a bit outrageous. That was a show that 99.9% of the artists in the country were about to be on the show.

Although he had no interest in this or even had a very resistant relationship, he had no doubt about the size and influence of this platform.

"It's a pity for you. If you took on the show while taking on the show, you would probably be even more popular than me now." He didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala in 2005, but since he showed his face on the Spring Festival Gala, even if he was a newcomer, he would definitely receive a lot of show. The most important thing is that being able to play on the Spring Festival Gala, even if only a few words are enough to prove that the other party has a certain background.

Yu Heng asked half-believingly: "Really? I didn't know it at first, but since I entered the industry, I realized that there are too many actors in the film and television industry, and it is really difficult to become famous. Moreover, no one can tell which book can be popular and which one cannot be popular."

"The most difficult thing is the business level. If you want to get this thing out, it will not take a day or two."

Xu Rong gave him a blank look and said, "If you think too much, it is not that easy to become popular, and it is not like your favorite method. If you really want to become famous, you must first sign a reliable agency, and then increase exposure through publicity, promotion, and then take on big investments and big productions. That is the right way to become popular. Relying on acting skills, do you know how many years it takes?"

Yu Heng looked at Xu Rong in surprise, because in his senses, Xu Rong was not qualified to say this. Compared with other popular young actors, his personal brand operation was simply rubbed on the ground, but his reputation in the industry is quite good.

Seeing him looking at him in confusion, Xu Rong smiled and said, "This is what I, a very popular senior brother, told me. Actually, what he said is quite reasonable."

"Who?"

"It's early, I can't remember it clearly. Do you think it makes sense?"

Yu Heng thought for a long time before shook his head and said, "Wouldn't that be the same as a tofu project? If you encounter an earthquake or a typhoon, it will collapse in a flash?"

Xu Rong was timid and said, "It depends on what you think. If you want to make quick money, this is a way. I guess you will definitely succeed. If you want to be careful, lay the foundation and build high buildings by yourself, and live in a more stable way."

When he arrived at the hospital, Yu Heng followed Xu Rong to find a "acquaintance" doctor. With the blessing of the star halo, the other party politely gave the two of them a white coat and a pair of masks, and repeatedly asked not to disturb the patient.

Yu Heng thought that this was the case, but he never thought that at the end, Xu Rong stuffed a red envelope over, and the doctor also smeared it into his pocket very skillfully, and then the two of them seemed to have nothing happened.

Sitting in the corridor, Yu Heng asked in a low voice: "Teacher Xu, you are a celebrity, don't have to give red envelopes, right?"

"It's not okay not to give it, but that's not more convenient?" Xu Rong stretched his ears and looked away from the patient most of the time. He carefully observed the other party's words and actions and every move.

"But..."

"Shh, don't talk."

Yu Heng nodded gently, followed Xu Rong's gaze and looked at the patient in the ward, but his attention did not follow. No major events that he imagined could shock him as he imagined. But if you think about it carefully, everything seemed quite interesting.
