Chapter 16 Lifting(1/2)
Du Yuming is an actor. Due to his personal image, he has a very narrow acting career. He often plays negative supporting roles in film and television dramas. He is called the "Cold-faced Two Heroes" together with Ji Chunhua.
When changing careers, the director is also using another means to transform and broaden the acting path, because under normal circumstances, those who come to him for filming are given negative characters.
But no matter which profession he is, he is not considered successful.
In the actor industry, he has never created classic negative roles, nor has he produced any outstanding works in the director industry.
He is a microcosm of thousands of practitioners in this industry.
In the end, Xu Rong decided to help him.
Because this guy said, "Teacher Xu, I will listen to you when I join the group in the future."
Of course, he could not help him maintain his position as the director. The main reason was that he was not at ease with this guy's previous fence-bearing style.
Who knows if he will turn against others after he really joins the group? He can't take this risk. No matter what, Du Yuming was found by Zhang Jian after all.
The next "Snow Leopard" to be filmed embodies his hope of winning the Grand Slam of the TV Series Awards!
Executive Director.
This is his promise.
The cost of changing an executive director is completely different from changing another director. If you change a director at the last minute, it will hurt the drama itself. If you change an executive director, you don’t need to find any reason for him who is equivalent to bringing funds into the group.
If it weren't for the producer Zhang Jian himself, he would have urged Hua Ming and Zhou to change producers.
But now, the creative environment is good enough, with a new director protecting the filming and a supervisor in other matters. It would be fine if Zhang Jian was honest, but if he did small moves, he would not have to threaten his resignation.
This is the most special thing about Big Guys compared to other professions in the film and television industry, and they have their own personal resources.
Even the bosses of film and television companies do not have this advantage. Before preparing to shoot a movie, they have to look for people one by one, and they cannot find them based on their reputation. They must select soldiers and generals based on actual conditions and clearly understand the aspects of each director's expertise and weakness. For example, when filming a romantic film, they must not be able to pull Lin Chaoxian, who is good at action films, to make up the numbers.
In the final analysis, the most essential difference is that big names make money for others, while film and television companies make money from others.
Xu Rong handed Wang Yaqin the gift box brought by Du Yuming to him. He really had no research on this thing, and he didn't drink tea on his usual occasion, so he didn't need it.
He was going to take it home when he turned back for the New Year, bring it back to the old man and serve pickles.
The right size.
When he returned to the set, Xu Rong was called by Liu Jiang.
To add to the show.
The reason for adding the show is to plan to add an old lady.
Xu Rong looked at Liu Jiang and Huang Ke in confusion and asked, "Why, I suddenly have another mother?"
He was not against a few more scenes, but was curious about Liu Jiang's original intention of suddenly adding to the plot.
When he signed "Before Dawn", he calculated the pay based on the episode, and it was not like now, which was packed at a price.
Lin Yongjian did not let Liu Jiang and Huang Ke take the blame, and said, "Xinjie, that's it. I thought that if there were multiple ladies, the role of Tan Zhongshu could be more three-dimensional."
Xu Rong pondered for a while and asked, "The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety?"
"Well, there are also considerations in this regard." Lin Yongjian stared at Xu Rong and said, "The main reason is that Tan Zhongshu's role is too thin. Is there really a person who is dedicated to the Party and the country and sheds his blood for the commission?"
"There must be some, but it's definitely only a few. I think it's because of the extra mother that our brotherhood is more full, rather than a few thin narrations."
Huang Ke also smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that Hu Henan's secretary did the same job as Liu Xinjie. Everyone in the Party and the country knew about it, but no one dared to touch him. I think Teacher Lin's proposal is very similar to what you said."
"Everyone suspects that you are an undercover agent, but even if the evidence is strong, no one dares to touch you, because you and Tan Zhongshu are half-brothers. As long as Tan Zhongshu doesn't touch you, you will be safe."
Seeing that the three of them stared at him with a little nervousness, Xu Rong suddenly smiled and said, "No, just add a few more scenes. Director Liu, Director, Director, Screenwriter, why do you look at me like this? I have no objection. This proposal is pretty good."
Liu Jiang smiled and said, "Who made you the biggest wrist in our group?"
He also gradually discovered that even if Xu Rong was flying in the sky and the Magnolia Video Emperor, there was no big change from the past, so he joked as usual, saying, "The store is bullying customers, and the customer is bullying stores. To be honest, since the popularity of "The Hidden" became popular, I have always been afraid that you would have any ideas. After all, when I signed it, I didn't consider that you would be popular to the present. Good guy, the double-education Video Emperor in his twenties."
Xu Rong also smiled and said, "Director, I had no idea at first, but after you said that, I have an idea now. To be honest, if you add a zero to me for the film pay now, I may not accept it."
"Hahaha."
Liu Jiang smiled and handed him a cigarette, looked down at his watch, and said, "It will take about half an hour. An actress I invited will come over and play Lu Yijun. At that time, Teacher Xu, come with me to welcome you?"
"Who, with such a big picture, I still have to welcome Xinjie?"
Liu Jiang did not reveal it, but just pretended to be mysterious and said, "You will know later."
When Xu Rong saw the visiting person, the expression on her face changed for a moment, and she thought, "Can't you?"
When Liu Jiang saw Xu Qing get out of the car, he hurriedly greeted him: "Teacher Xu, is the road going smoothly?"
Although several years have passed, time seems to have left no trace on Aunt Xu, she is still dressed up, with wavy curls, large black sunglasses, her figure is as slim as ever, and the dimples on her face are also as sweet as ever: "It's okay."
Xu Rong understood the significance of Liu Jiang asking him to come out to welcome him, and also took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Sister, long time no see."
Since Aunt Xu went to the other side of the ocean two years ago, they have less contact. Even though they returned last year, both of them were busy with their own affairs and did not even have ordinary walking again.
It wasn't that he was inflated. After learning that Aunt Xu was back, he took the initiative to make an appointment with her several times, but she refused on the grounds that she was busy with work.
He doesn't know whether it is really busy or fake.
I can only sigh occasionally in my spare time, and some people are busy as they walk.
Aunt Xu's eyes were crescent-shaped, she turned her head and looked at him, and said, "Hello."
After saying that, Aunt Xu followed Liu Jiang to the set and said to Liu Jiang: "Director Liu, how poor our crew is? I thought about it all the way, and you didn't seem to have asked me for a long time to ask me for a pay."
"Hahaha."
While laughing, Liu Jiang turned his head quietly and looked at Xu Rong in confusion. Xu Qing was invited by him with a face, but Liu Jiang knew very well that the reason why she agreed to make a guest appearance was largely due to the face of Xu Rong, the male lead. He just didn't know what was going on today, why did she seem to be like not knowing Xu Rong?
He heard that Xu Qing was one of Xu Rong's nobles. When he was in vain, he was very concerned about Xu Qing and achieved his achievements today.
When he arrived at the set, Xu Rong looked at Aunt Xu's back, got closer to Liu Jiang, and said, "Director Liu, do you know what's going on?"
Liu Jiang scratched his head and asked in surprise: "You didn't contact me before she came here? At that time, I said you were the male lead and she agreed to play it, otherwise you really think I have such a big face?"
"No, I just knew she was coming to play a guest appearance."
Xu Rong frowned and shook his head twice. He thought that Aunt Xu would be angry.
Because he still vaguely remembered that a few years ago, she was angry and looked like she was now, with a smile on her face, but the words on her mouth were neither close nor cold.
He just wanted to break his head, but he didn't think of it, when and where did he offend her?
But for this beautiful aunt who has helped him but is no longer young, he still maintained the maximum patience. He walked to her, sat down, and asked, "Sister, what are you busy with recently?"
Aunt Xu didn't take off her sunglasses, but just gently turned her head and said, "It's a big deal. She's a little bit of a big wrist. She's been quitting the show, but I don't know if she can still make it."
Xu Rong heard the dissatisfaction in her tone and immediately said, "This person has a bad character. If you don't talk about wrists or wrists, you have agreed well, how can you just say it?!"
He knew that when a woman vented her dissatisfaction with someone or something, what they needed was not rational analysis of who was right or who was wrong, or pale and powerless comfort, but hoped that the listener could stand in the same camp as her, and violently attack and criticize the other party in words.
"It's really bad." Aunt Xu's face suddenly had two dimples, as if she had remembered something, and said inadvertently, "By the way, the name of that movie is "Letter to Wife"."
"Forehead."
"Ahem." Xu Rong shook his neck and coughed a few times to hide the sudden embarrassment.
The one who quit the show was nothing but someone else, but Mr. Xu.
Movies are invested by the film industry.
"Hi, sister, actually, this matter is quite complicated. Didn't my contract expire?..."
"Everything is all."
"Everything is all."
Aunt Xu answered the phone and her voice immediately became much softer, saying, "Hey, mom is here, are you obedient at home?"
Xu Rong looked at the glory that instantly overflowed from Aunt Xu's face, and her expression gradually became strange. Mom?
Aunt Xu has been secretly married and had a baby in the past two years?
However, considering her age, she was relieved immediately. She was born with a princess and had a princess disease. It was a good thing to have a good destination.
He once heard a remark from a relatively pure female artist: At my age, do you believe it if you have never been in a relationship?
He understood her emotional experience a little bit, which was quite bumpy, but in his opinion, it was ultimately caused by personality.
After hanging up the phone, looking at Xu Rong's puzzled gaze, Aunt Xu said, "The child I adopted always felt alone during the time I was abroad."
"Stop talking about me, talk about you, you have changed a lot in the past two years." Aunt Xu paused and said with emotion, "I never thought that the child who looked silly and silly would reach the point he is today."
"Hmm?" Xu Rong looked at her and asked uncertainly, "Little, little kid?"
"Didn't you call me aunt before?"
"Hey, I recognized the wrong person that time."
Aunt Xu took off her glasses and pointed at him with her fingers, "But it's more than once, when you were drinking too much."
"Impossible!" Xu Rong couldn't tell whether what she said was true, or was simply cheating him, but he still said without hesitation, "I have never thought so."
"hehe."
Before October 1st, after nearly three months of filming, the crew of "Before Dawn" was officially completed.
At the final banquet, producer Luo Liping hugged Xu Rong's shoulder and said bitterly: "Brother, really, do you just think that you want your brother to repay you with personal favor?"
