On the sixth day of filming, which was also the third day that Xu Rong participated in the filming, Zhang Jing did not come to the set again.

As for other things, there were no changes, except that the crew's bottled water was quietly replaced by small bottles.

When a bottle of water is unscrewed, no one would drink it all in one go. They usually take two sips and put it away. When they come back to pick it up, they see many bottles in a pile, and they can’t tell who’s is whose.

I can only get one more bottle.

It's an extremely subtle change, but for a seasoned veteran who has been working on the set all year round, the signs are obvious enough.

The crew is tightening their budget.

While Xu Rong was waiting, he even heard the leader of the props team whispering to an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man in the team: "Are you so fucking stupid? Stop advancing money yourself!"

When he was free to rest, Xu Rongcai combined the change in the size of the water bottle with the words of the props team leader, figured out the reason, looked at Jiang Wei, and fell into thinking.

The reason why the budget was tightened was due to the delay in the progress of the exterior shooting. According to the plan, all the interior and exterior scenes should be filmed within a week of starting the filming, and then the interior filming would begin.

However, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the filming may not be completed in ten days. There are many influencing factors. He and Song Jia were in poor condition successively, which were the main reasons for the failure of the normal execution of the plan.

Under normal circumstances, experienced directors tend to schedule location scenes in the middle or later stages of filming, as in "The Big Deal", but never in the early stage, because both the staff and the actors are in the resumption stage, which is very difficult.

It’s difficult to devote myself fully to shooting, so it’s natural that the progress is slow.

But location scenes cost money.

Jiang Wei is not a new director. He must have his own plans for making such arrangements.

Xu Rong just thought about it briefly and vaguely understood the reason. Jiang Wei was probably worried that Zhang Jing would take action on the few location scenes that had already been deleted due to budget considerations.

After figuring out the joint, he turned to look at the empty chair next to him and sighed helplessly.

Song Jia left the group.

After nearly a week of filming, the crew has basically gotten into shape, but Song Jia, as a key actor, has been holding back.

Off-court factors also unknowingly affected the court, and Jiang Wei became angry at Song Jia.

"Don't always think that you are a guerrilla captain. You are just a rural girl. If you always think that you are a guerrilla captain, your mental burden will be very heavy. You don't know how to act. Don't think about the role of a guerrilla captain.

It came out naturally.”

This is the longest sentence Jiang Wei has said in one breath since he turned on the phone, and it is also the most serious sentence.

He thinks Song Jia hasn't completely let go yet.

Song Jia's performance was poor, and Xu Rong was also implicated. Jiang Wei gave him a hard look, probably complaining about Song Jia who he recommended.

Xu Rong could only smile bitterly in response to this. Both he and Song Jia knew what Jiang Wei wanted. He wanted to see Cuiping's energy to break jars and smash jars.

Song Jia has no problem with the structure of the character, but there are deviations in the handling of details. This is also caused by her subjective factors. Song Jia believes that the rural girl should be like Yu Xian'er. Zhang Xinjian can accept it, but obviously not

It is in line with Jiang Wei's vision.

As the female lead and a key role in the play, Jiang Wei did not compromise at all, and Song Jia did not have the capital to make him compromise regardless of her fame or status.

Xu Rong had a very clear idea of ​​what Jiang Wei wanted. He could think of many of the kind of people Jiang Wei wanted just by closing his eyes.

After all, that was the environment he had lived in for the past seventeen years.

But again, he can teach Xiao Zhang how to act, but he can't teach Song Jia how to act, and he doesn't think he can play a female character better than Song Jia. His understanding of Cuiping, level

Similar to Jiang Wei, he knows what is right and what is wrong, but how to design his behavior is really difficult for him.

After filming twice more, Jiang Wei immediately paused the filming and let Song Jia find her own condition.

Song Jia was also a ruthless person and asked Jiang Wei for three days' leave on the spot.

She is going to visit the countryside.

Jiang Wei didn't know whether it was because of his head or something, but he agreed on the spot.

But the way the two talked with cold expressions frightened classmate Xiao Zhang. She grabbed Xu Rong's clothes anxiously and whispered: "Teacher Xu?"

Xu Rong shook his head at her and said, "Don't worry, you have great talent, no problem."

Xiao Zhang knew that Teacher Xu was comforting her. After comparing Song Jia, she clearly realized the gap between herself and Song Jia.

This is a great thing for her acting career, at least in Xu Rong's opinion.

But classmate Xiao Zhang didn’t think so. The monkey was killed, and this little chicken like her was scared out of her mind, okay?!

“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”

That day, at midnight, a while after rehearsing the play, classmate Xiao Zhang came back again, quietly went to Xu Rong's door, and knocked three times.

Xu Rong had just finished taking a shower and was getting ready to go to bed. When he opened the door, he saw classmate Xiao Zhang standing outside the door and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Classmate Xiao Zhang said: "Teacher Xu, I'm a little scared!"

Because Song Jia left the group, we will focus on filming her scenes next.

Xu Rong rubbed her lowered head with his left hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Classmate Xiao Zhang gradually realized that something was wrong, because she saw Teacher Xu's right hand holding on to the door handle, with the obvious purpose of not letting her in.

She stretched out her hand and pulled the palm away from her head, frowning and asked, "Teacher Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Rong moved his feet, quietly took half a step back, and said with a smile: "It is not suitable for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room in the middle of the night."

Classmate Xiao Zhang's eyes widened a bit, she didn't quite understand what he meant.

Xu Rong glanced at the corridor, then stood up straight, coughed twice, and said: "My professional ethics do not allow me to do this, and I am not that kind of person. Xiao Zhang, if you think you slept with me

I advise you to give up these unrealistic ideas as soon as possible."

"Teacher Xu!" Xiao Zhang's almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, his fists slowly clenched, and he stared at him fiercely.

"Go back and rest early. We will still be busy tomorrow. Song Jia is gone, and the remaining workload is not light."

After Xu Rong finished speaking, he quickly closed the door. Xiao Zhang brought him back to reality too easily. If possible, it is better not to be alone.

"Bang."

"Bang."

Xu Rong stood behind the door. After about three seconds of silence, he heard the door slamming twice. He was stunned for a moment and realized that it was classmate Xiao Zhang kicking the door.

He paused and opened the door again. Classmate Xiao Zhang was no longer at the door. He poked his head out, only to see Classmate Xiao Zhang angrily walking towards the stairs.

After a few minutes, he called Xu Xing and confirmed that classmate Xiao Zhang had returned to the room, and then he felt at ease.

The next day, Song Jia unexpectedly did not arrive at the set, but at noon, an unexpected person came to the crew.

Uncle Li.

When Xu Rong saw Uncle Li, his mind was at a loss for a while, but then he realized that he was here to support Song Jia.

Uncle Li didn't have a bad face, he was smiling, just like a normal visitor. When he found out that Song Jia was not on the set, he was stunned for a while.

After understanding the whole story, Uncle Li hurriedly apologized to Jiang Wei and said: "Xiao Song is ignorant, please bear with me, Director Jiang. I told her before that if you want to play the role of Cuiping well, you can't position her well."

In terms of the captain’s identity, it has to be based on his background. Looking back now, I understood Director Jiang’s intention, haha.”

Jiang Wei was quite embarrassed, neither should he, nor should he, but he was full of good words, and there was not a single word that was against him, but no matter how he listened, he always felt that something was not right.

"In addition, I have to thank Xiao Xu. This book is really a good one, and both Director Jiang's directing ability and Xiao Xu's level are comparable. This is Xiao Song's luck." Uncle Li laughed when he saw Jiang Wei,

Then he turned to Xu Rong and said, "Let's work together if we have the opportunity. I will control the camera for Director Jiang, and I will let you, Xiao Xu, play the leading male role."

"Come on, brother, don't bury me." Jiang Wei could only say with a wry smile. Zhang Li's background in photography was right, but if he was asked to take charge of the camera, who would dare to take on the job of director of photography?

Xu Rong smiled and did not answer the question. Talking about cooperation when there is a chance is almost the same as having a meal when you are free. It is basically a matter of no concern.

Uncle Li's favorite actor is Huang Zhizhong.

Uncle Li stayed on the set for half an hour. He originally wanted to drag Jiang Wei and Xu Rong to have a meal together, but they declined politely and had to rush to work.

But Uncle Li must have expected this, and forced Jiang Wei into two bottles of good wine before leaving.

As for whether it was wine or not, Xu Rong didn't know.

"Teacher Xu, do you think they will get married?" Xiao Zhang looked at Uncle Li's back and murmured in a low voice.

She is most interested in this.

Xu Rong shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be possible. When a young and artistic young woman meets an old and middle-aged literary and artistic person, it's over after the excitement has passed. You can compare Song Jia to Xu Jinglei. She is a woman with a particularly strong ambition, and she is very similar to Li

Why are you getting married? Are you waiting for a divorce?"

"Besides, who knows what purpose the two of them have."

"What do you think of us?" Classmate Xiao Zhang is ready to act like a monster again, because she knows the result and believes in it, but she gets annoyed when Teacher Xu doesn't tell her too much.

"I told you yesterday, I'm not that kind of person." Xu Rong stood up, walked towards Fan Yulin, and said to classmate Xiao Zhang.

"Teacher Xu!"

After Uncle Li left, Song Jia still didn't come back.

This was within Xu Rong's expectation. Song Jia is a ruthless person. As a certain diva said, you can say that my singing is ugly, but you can't say that I can't play mahjong. Song Jia is the same. She can accept others treating her.

She has a lot to say about her private life, but she hardly tolerates doubts about her professional life.

Song Jiaren was nowhere to be seen, but Zhang Jing was back.
