The next morning, Jian Qiao came down to find Jiang Liucheng and invited him to the cafeteria for breakfast.
After eating, they went to the set together. This time, Jiang Liucheng finally had his own nanny car, and the company provided him with one and a driver.
When I walked out of the hotel, the nanny car was waiting at the door.
Since Jian Qiao didn't have a car, Jiang Liucheng gave him a ride.
Arriving at the crew, most of the staff and actors have already arrived, and they are ready to shoot. Everyone looks very busy.
But when they saw Jian Qiao, they would take the time to say hello to him.
It can be seen that his status in the crew is very high, probably second only to Director Qian.
Jian Qiao was with the production team, and Director Qian called him over. It seemed that he had something to discuss with him, and he still had the script in his hand. Dressing room."
Director Qian originally wanted to say that he would just ask a staff member to take him with him, but suddenly realized that Jian Qiao was rarely so warm-hearted, and his business was not urgent anyway, "Okay, then you can go to work first."
Jiang Liucheng turned her head and said to Jian Qiao: "If you have something to do, you can do it first, don't worry about us."
"That can't be done." Jian Qiao smiled, "I just came by your car, I'm sorry to leave you like this, let's go."
Jiang Liucheng couldn't refuse after hearing the words.
Jian Qiao took him to the dressing room. There were many people in it, and actors of all sizes were doing their makeup here.
"Before, the film crew rented a place late, so the space is limited. There are only two dressing rooms. The other is used by several leading actors, and other actors are doing their makeup here. You can make do with it."
Jiang Liucheng asked back: "Why do you say that?"
Jian Qiao was taken aback, "You are not a young actor now, with such a high popularity, a celebrity like you usually requires an independent dressing room."
Jiang Liucheng shrugged: "I don't care."
Jian Qiao said with a smile: "I was thinking about it, then you put on makeup first, I will go to Director Qian, and I will come back to you later."
Although there are quite a lot of people in the dressing room, Jiang Liucheng doesn't need to wait, because the company also assigned him a makeup artist. The makeup artist is Lu Xiaomei, a girl with strong mobility. When she comes, she will go to the crew. The stylist, after negotiating with the stylist about Jiang Liucheng's makeup today, came here, and after more than an hour, the character's styling was done.
"Hello, can you make one for me too?" A young actor walked over with a worried expression on his face.
Jiang Liucheng recognized the actor, and when he first came in, he found that the actor had been sitting in the corner.
Jiang Liucheng looked at Lu Xiaomei with questioning eyes. Lu Xiaomei's eyes were bent. She had done makeup for many celebrities, but there were not many people like Jiang Liucheng who would ask her opinion first.
"Okay," she said.
The young actor was very happy, and quickly said several thanks, "My name is He Yu, thank you so much, everyone is very busy, I waited for almost a whole morning, I was afraid that I still haven't put on my makeup when it's my turn .”
Jiang Liucheng said after hearing the words: "Everyone is very busy, so I should understand."
He Yu shook his head, "Small characters like us may be replaced at any time if we delay the progress of the filming. I managed to get a character with a few lines. Don't look at just a few lines. Fight for it." There are also a lot of people, if you do not perform well, many people want to replace you, and... "
He paused, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Although everyone is in the same crew, there is actually competition."
Jiang Liucheng suddenly became interested: "What competition?"
He didn't shoot many scenes before, and he was a character with only one line or no lines at all. He usually can leave after shooting a scene, so he really doesn't know much about this line of work.
After joining Cheng Qinghua's crew, he was taken care of by Qin Lu and Cheng Qinghua. The crew were all good, and he had no chance to feel the cruelty of reality.
"If you perform well, the director thinks that you are a malleable talent, that your acting skills are good, and you are very pleasing to the eye. He may give you a role with more and better roles at any time. If nothing else, just say last month .”
Afraid of being heard, He Yu lowered his voice even lower.
"Last month, there was an actress who had a lot of roles, but because of her poor performance, she was NGed many times in a row, which delayed the progress and made the director very unhappy, so she replaced her directly and gave her roles to another actor. An actor, that actor was originally a group performer, because he performed better, he was remembered by the director."
"Because of this incident, the atmosphere of the production team has been very delicate during this period. Those with good roles are afraid of performing poorly, and those with bad roles want to perform hard. The competition in private is very fierce. For things like makeup, if you don't take the initiative , if others squeeze you out, you can only wait forever.”
In order to thank Jiang Liucheng for asking the makeup artist to help him with makeup, He Yu told him a lot.
A place like a production crew with only two dressing rooms is chaotic when there are many people, and some people's small thoughts are easily overwhelmed.
He Yu also said: "Some time ago there was a celebrity named Su Mingwei, who played the role of the long-dead brother of the protagonist of Wusha. This person played very well in the circle. However, the background is relatively deep, and something happened later. I was arrested for participating in that kind of messy party with others, and the director was replaced directly. A new actor has been found outside to replace Su Mingwei."
Jiang Liucheng blinked, he remembered that the character he played was the protagonist's long-dead brother, "And then?"
He Yu smiled: "What else is there? Then, there are so many people who want this role, but the director is not the one who makes the final decision. By the way, I still don't know your name after talking for so long? I think you look familiar. Yes, have you joined the group before?"
Jiang Liucheng shook her head: "No, I just joined the group today. My name is Jiang Liucheng."
The smile on He Yu's face suddenly froze. No wonder he felt that the other party looked familiar. Isn't this the actor who replaced Su Mingwei, and it's not an ordinary one.
The other party's popularity has been extremely high in the past two months, and he has also signed a contract with the Spark Company. His future is bright, and he actually gossips in front of the client.
He Yu looked a little uncomfortable, "That, I'm sorry."
Jiang Liucheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
He Yu was relieved to see that he really didn't look angry, and that if he was a narrow-minded person, he wouldn't have lent him the makeup artist in the first place.
"Thank you. With your current popularity, you can actually go to the main actor's dressing room over there."
Jiang Liucheng hummed, "It doesn't matter to me, I can go to any dressing room."
He Yu nodded, "That's right. Anyway, it's more convenient for you to bring your own makeup artist. You just joined the group, so you probably don't know many things. Let me tell you."
Jiang Liucheng: "Okay, then it's troublesome."
He Yu quickly waved his hand, "No, no."
After putting on their makeup, the two left the dressing room. Knowing that it was not his turn, He Yu took Jiang Liucheng around the set.
There are also differences between different crews. For example, Cheng Qinghua's crew director is also strict, but it is only stricter when filming, and the overall atmosphere of the crew is relatively relaxed.
Director Qian's crew is much more serious, because everyone is in a competitive relationship, and the director is also very strict in filming, so the overall atmosphere is more serious, especially when he is busy, it is easy to be scolded for making a slight mistake.
"In this crew, it doesn't matter how big a person is. The most important thing when acting is to be serious. If you delay the progress of filming, the director doesn't care who you are." He Yu said.
"Okay, I remember."
The more He Yu gets along with him, the more he feels that he has no airs at all. He is obviously very popular, but he is like a newcomer.
When the circle was over, Director Qian saw Jiang Liucheng and called him over to talk about the show.
It was only then that the crew noticed Jiang Liucheng's existence. In fact, just now they found out that there was an extra good-looking brother, and it was only later that they found out that this person was the one who replaced Su Mingwei's role.
Some people regretted it in their hearts. When they saw him and He Yu together at first, they thought they were just ordinary little actors. Now that they knew his identity, it was a bit deliberate to approach him.
With experience in Cheng Qinghua's crew, Jiang Liucheng's first scene went well.
Director Qian was afraid that his performance would not be good, and wanted to be stricter, but he didn't expect him to pass it once.
Although the young man is already in his twenties, he looks like a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old on the outside. It is not at all against harmony to play a person of this age. The difficulty is only some complicated emotions caused by the later mentality changes.
Because the crew has been in production for more than two months, and many of the previous scenes have already been filmed, Jiang Liucheng needs to start from the back when he comes, so the first scene will be relatively difficult and require more acting skills.
Many people waited to see him fail, but they underestimated him unexpectedly.
"No wonder Brother Qin is so impressed with you." Jian Qiao walked over, "You really did a good job."
Jiang Liucheng took the towel handed over by the assistant and wiped her face, "The crew taught me a lot last time, thanks to them."
Jian Qiao: "When you finish filming today's scenes, I'll invite you to a barbecue and talk about the upcoming scenes by the way."
Jiang Liucheng originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard the words behind her, "Okay."
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening after filming today's scene.
Jiang Liucheng originally thought that the shooting would be until eleven or twelve o'clock, because Director Qian added a few more scenes for him in the afternoon, but he didn't expect it to go well and finish work early.
He took off his makeup in the nanny's car and changed back to his usual clothes. After a while, Jian Qiao came over, and they went to the barbecue stand together.
After arriving at the barbecue stand, Jian Qiao ordered a few things familiarly, and then asked Jiang Liucheng: "Do you want a beer?"
Jiang Liucheng shook her head: "I still have to film tomorrow, so if I don't drink now, I'll just drink water."
Jian Qiao didn't force it, "It doesn't matter if you don't drink alcohol, if you get drunk, it will affect your filming status tomorrow, Lao Qian will not scold me to death, he even praised you several times today, saying that it is indeed right to ask you. "
Jiang Liucheng replied: "It's not just my credit, you tell me the play, and also help me get into the emotions of the characters faster."
Jian Qiao laughed, "You are so humble."
At this time, the phone in Jiang Liucheng's pocket rang, he took it out to see that it was a message from Qin Lv, and clicked on it.
Qin: Have you finished filming today
I'm serious: filming done, now out for BBQ.
Qin: Are you alone
I'm serious: Nope, there's Jane as well.
