Chapter 7 Children(1/2)
Liu Jiang couldn't help laughing as he heard the bitterness of Lin Yongjian coming back from the three of them.
During the day, Zhang Xilin and Ren Zhengbin were not natural in acting with Xu Rong. First of all, they had just started filming and had not yet formed a tacit understanding. He also saw that Xu Rong had completely changed his performance style and no longer carried people away so desperately during filming "The Wife".
In addition, Xu Rong himself was born in a spy war drama. As a milestone in his career, the three dramas "Yangcheng", "Night" and "Luxing" were all spy wars, which led to him being the most thorough in this area and being clearest about how to interpret them in line with the audience's expectations.
In terms of his personal performance, the Liu Xinjie he portrayed is more outstanding than Yu Wei, but if you want to evaluate it from the overall perspective, it is a bit of a bad idea.
This is why four people were assigned to go out to drink.
He handed a cigarette to the three people who were slumped on the ground. Liu Jiang lit it on his own, paced back and forth in the room, and said, "I plan to reshoot all the scenes today."
"Both remakes?"
Xu Rong was rare. After drinking a drink, his mind was a little dizzy. When he heard Liu Jiang's words, he couldn't help but look up. Although he didn't watch the replay, he thought that there was no problem with the first scene.
Liu Jiang smiled and said, "I just watched the replay with your sister-in-law. She said that with your figure, you must give a full-scale close-up to make your female fans feast your eyes, otherwise it would be a waste."
"Hahaha."
Ren Zhengbin was also a little dizzy. When he heard this, he made up his mind and had to strengthen his training when he took the time. He originally wanted to play the role of Zippelin, but Liu Jiang disagreed. Liu Jiang's reason was that his image and personality were closer to Sun Dapu.
"no problem."
The next day after the start of the computer, early in the morning, the dressing room was much more lively than usual.
When the big girl and wife on the crew arrived on the set, they learned a little news.
The director wants to remake yesterday's scene!
The teacher in the makeup group is also kind-hearted. The makeup process starts with Xu Rong's wound, which means that during the makeup process, Xu Rong needs to expose her upper body throughout the whole process.
"The whole audience is quiet, don't watch it, don't watch it, don't watch it, don't watch it, don't watch it, the whole audience is quiet."
“Preparation, a.”
"vomit."
"vomit."
"stop."
"Madam" Wang Tong suddenly retching and interrupted the shooting. Liu Jiang took off his headphones, looked at her with concern, and asked, "What's wrong, is it okay?"
Wang Tong smiled and said, "I woke up early in the morning and had a good meal, so I felt a little uncomfortable."
"Do you want to go back to the hotel to take a break?"
"No, drink some hot water to calm down, you're busy with yours."
"restart."
“Preparation, a.”
After a scene was finished, Liu Jiang's "ca" sound had just fallen, and Wang Tong could no longer help but lie down at the corner of the wall next to him and started to retching again.
Liu Jiang had to worry about it now. He thought that he had just come here and was not adapted to the local conditions, so he said to a director assistant of seventeen or eighteen years old: "Xiao Zhang, please send your aunt back to the hotel to rest."
Wang Tong spit out all the breakfast, rinsed her mouth, but frowned and whispered: "You said, can you be pregnant?"
Liu Jiang was shocked and grabbed Wang Tong's arm with both hands: "Are you sure?"
"You let go, so many people are watching."
Liu Jiang immediately changed his mind: "Xiao Zhang, drive a car and take your aunt to the hospital for examination. Hurry up, don't be too slow."
"OK."
Since Wang Tong left, Liu Jiang has completely lost his seat. He is forty this year.
"Director, are you still shooting?"
"Photo, shoot, why don't you shoot? Let a few teachers take a walk first."
Liu Jiang sat behind the monitor and could not concentrate on Chi Chi's screen. No one knew how much hardships they had spent in order to have a child over the years and how many times they had been eyeing him.
After walking through, Zhao Tiegang came over and asked, "Director, start the real shooting?"
"Ah, oh, let's start." Liu Jiang looked at Zhao Tiegang in a daze and lit his head twice.
“Preparation, a.”
“…”
"Old Liu, it's time to shout." Chen Kunhui saw that Liu Jiang was walking again and knelt him with his elbow.
"Card."
Now, let alone Chen Kunhui sitting next to Liu Jiang, even Xu Rong and others discovered that Liu Jiang was abnormal. The couple cooperated just now and they should have called "stop".
Just as the process of readjustment was made, Liu Jiang's phone rang.
After Liu Jiang put down the phone, he stayed for a while, and then a few seconds later, he suddenly put the headphones in his hand directly on the table. His plump body jumped up from the chair with a lightness that was contrary to normality, and he openly twisted the strange dance on the set.
The entire crew was stunned.
"Director, are crazy?"
"director?"
"director?"
Liu Jiang excitedly hugged Chen Kunhui who was closest and said, "Old Chen, I want to be a father, I want to be a father, hahaha."
Chen Kunhui suddenly came over and even felt that Liu Jiang's performance was too restrained.
Unlike most people, Liu Jiang’s fate is quite bumpy.
Although he was born in Beijing Film Academy, he still achieved nothing until he was in his thirties. He was simply a standard old left-handed man, poor and ugly. He still had no choice but to take over what he should do.
And the strangest thing is that in addition to poverty and ugliness, the luck is extremely different. The films that are filmed can either not pass the trial, or they are banned after the trial or cannot be sold at all.
His only lucky thing is that Wang Tong did not dislike him, and even kept silently supporting him and encouraging him. A few years ago, the main source of income in the family had to be supported by Wang Tong.
Regarding the children, considering that both of them are over forty years old, although Liu Jiang is still making various efforts, he actually doesn’t have much expectations in his heart.
But today, it was so surprising that this surprise came too suddenly.
"Director, congratulations, congratulations."
"Director, congratulations."
“…”
Amid the congratulations of everyone, Liu Jiang gradually regained his calmness. He slowly took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out one, and stuffed it into his mouth. However, he lit the lighter several times, but his hands were shaking and did not light it. In the end, photography director Chen Kunhui helped him lit the cigarette.
Xu Rong saw Liu Jiang so disobediently for the first time. He looked at him as if he was stupid, but the smile on his face could not be suppressed.
Now the crew stopped filming, and they all stared at Wang Tong with anticipation.
When Wang Tong returned to the crew, Liu Jiang went out early. Halfway through, he quickly squeezed out the cigarette in his hand, and turned around and shouted, "I have pinched the cigarette for me."
"Oh, slow down, be careful under your feet."
"Madam's treatment is about to meet the Empress Dowager Cixi..." Wang Tong came back. Xu Rong, Lin Yongjian, Zhang Xilin and Ren Zhengbin sat side by side. Just as he was about to make a joke, he saw Lin Yongjian and Zhang Xilin lowering their heads. Not only did they show joy on their faces, but they became much heavier.
It was as if they were about to be sacked by the Party and the State in the eighth game.
And he saw it clearly. Lin Yongjian's eyes under his brown glasses were clearly wet, but probably noticed his sight. Lin Yongjian hurriedly smiled and said, "I am happy for the director."
Xu Rong stared at this scene blankly, what's wrong?
The lady is pregnant, and you two are worried. What are you doing?
He felt a bad premonition in his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, Lin Yongjian and Zhang Xilin didn’t have much interaction with Wang Tong, right?
Moreover, since he has been together for more than a month, he doesn't think the two of them are that kind of people.
Wang Tong didn't stay in the crew for too long. After a while, Liu Jiang took her away from the group and went home!
Because the director ran away halfway, the crew had to take a break for the afternoon.
"Xu Rong, Xilin, Zhengbin, go and have some drinks."
Xu Rong looked at Lin Yongjian who could barely squeeze out a smile and knew that he might have something to do in his heart.
He heard Zhang Xilin say yesterday that Lin Yongjian had to work every day, and he had to pay 100% off, not a small cup.
But today I was not busy, I only took one more film.
When he returned to the hotel, he saw Lin Yongjian and Zhang Xilin returning to their respective rooms. Xu Rong grabbed Ren Zhengbin and asked, "Zhengbin, what's going on? Why do I think Yongjian and Xilin are all worried."
Ren Zhengbin sighed, stretched out four chubby fingers, and said, "Xilin is 43 this year, Yongjian is 40 this year, and he has no children yet."
Looking at Xu Rong's puzzled expression, Ren Zhengbin said, "Oh, you may not understand it. In fact, the reason is very simple. It's just one word: poor, so poor that I can't even marry a wife. Where can I have children? Xilin, 365 days a year, 360 days, and 360 days a year. No matter what role, he takes it, why do you make money."
"It's even more difficult to be in Yongjian. In the early years, he couldn't make money at that time. The first child was poor, not to mention that he could not raise a child, and he couldn't even afford to have a child. There was no way, so he was lost. The second was because he was poor. He was too tired to make money in the sketch competition and couldn't save him. In recent years, he had gone to many hospitals and tried various folk remedies, but they had no effect."
Ren Zhengbin sighed and said, "Don't look at the two of them laughing all day long, but the child's affairs are simply a heart-wrenching problem for them. Every time they drink, they cry when they drink too much, and when they drink too much."
"People all look at our industry, which is so beautiful, how much money we earn in a year, but there are really not many like you. The official data released by us is less than one million employees, but if you add the extras from various film and television bases, one million will not be able to defeat them. Most of them are old and don't even have a nest."
Xu Rong sighed softly. He came here at that time and knew that Ren Zhengbin was telling the truth.
Not to mention extras, even some young actors, the income from one or two movies a year is probably not as good as the expenses.
