Li Qingning just turned his eyes to Zhao Fan who was standing aside.
He also met Meng Fu in this program. Later in Wanmin Village, he deeply realized how difficult it was for a child from the mountains to reach this point.
There are many people with dirty information in the entertainment industry. Meng Fu's dirty information in the entertainment industry could be combined and circled around the world before. However, after getting along with Meng Fu, Li Qingning felt that all these dirty things were fake.
Not only because he felt that Meng Fu was pitiful, but he also felt that Meng Fu was compatible with her, so he kept looking for a suitable role for her.
After being in the circle for a long time, Li Qingning naturally knows that only by having the ability and works in hand can he be famous for a long time.
Before choosing a role for Meng Fu, Li Qingning specially found Meng Fu's works.
Meng Fu didn't have many previous works, and she was just a passerby. Although her face was pretty, her acting skills were a bit exaggerated, so when Li Qingning chose roles for her, she specifically looked for roles that didn't require high acting skills.
Including the role of Xuannv, the acting skills do not need to be particularly superb, because Xuannv only needs to be cold.
But even so, with the sophistication of this movie, the role of Xuannv is irreplaceable. This three-minute scene took half a day to shoot.
Who would have thought—
It's only been fifteen minutes.
Meng Fu had only been filmed three times, and both her lines and expressions far exceeded Director Xu's initial expectations for her.
Zhao Fan also just looked away. Meng Fu's performance just now really surprised her. She originally thought that Meng Fu would be good at playing a more sassy character like Yan Li. After all, it was closer to her. But she didn't expect that she would not be able to play this role. Xuan Nu, who needs a lot of lines, is better.
"Three times," Zhao Fan smiled, "It's not bad."
Li Qingning had already looked away, but when he heard Zhao Fan's words, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Zhao Fan again: "Are you okay?"
Why do the people who are with Meng Fu talk so much that it makes people want to beat her up
Zhao Fan glanced at Li Qingning and said, "... Average?"
After all, with Director Gao, Meng Fu basically did it all over again. Of course, it was a TV series and couldn't be compared with this movie.
But seeing Meng Fu get used to it, and this time doing it three times, Zhao Fan really felt that it was actually okay, and it was within the range of her expectations.
Not saying it three times, even if Meng Fu said it once this time, Zhao Fan didn't think she would be surprised.
"Teacher Li, Director Xu," Meng Fu had returned from work, breaking the silence between Li Qingning and Director Xu, and asked politely, "Are there any more scenes that need to be shot?"
It has been a long time since "A Day in the Stars" ended. Before she returned to the "Bourne" crew, she had to go to the Xiangjiang Medicinal Materials Market to find all the medicinal materials and spices she needed.
Apart from these, there is also the matter of Tang Ze.
So after filming Li Qingning's scene, she was still in a hurry.
"No more." Director Xu had come to his senses. He looked at Meng Fu and finally couldn't hold it back. "Your movie was so good. I think you can stop taking the idol route and start getting traffic as soon as possible." The label came off."
Hearing Director Xu's words, Zhao Fan nodded on the side, she also had this plan in mind.
"Thank you, Director Xu," Meng Fu nodded, then turned to Li Qingning, who had been silent, "Are you okay?"
Li Qingning remembered the words he often saw on the barrage in the past two days: "...I'm torn."
If you can still talk like this, that's okay.
Meng Fu ignored Li Qingning, continued to say goodbye to Director Xu, and went to change clothes and remove makeup.
After taking off her makeup, Li Qingning was waiting for her outside, "Let's go, I'll take you out."
Artists' schedules are always very busy, especially for someone like Meng Fu who has been talking about a lot recently. She is afraid that she will be approached for various endorsements and variety shows, so Li Qingning did not let her stay to see the veteran actors here.
"Have you ever acted in a costume drama before?" When taking Meng Fu and the others out, Li Qingning couldn't help but look at Meng Fu.
Costume dramas are different from modern dramas.
Walking posture, movements, and charm need to be paid attention to in many aspects and require special practice.
When Director Xu asked Meng Fu to audition for the first time, he wanted to see where Meng Fu was lacking, and then asked someone who knew the moves to train him specifically.
But I didn't expect that Meng Fu's every move, especially when he was holding the tea cup and picking up the scroll, looked more like an ancient person than Li Qingning.
This feeling is as if she came from a certain period of time in ancient times. It is completely natural and there is no trace of acting.
Even a person like Director Xu who strives for perfection cannot find any mistakes, so it was possible to shoot so fast after three passes.
Upon hearing Li Qingning's question, Zhao Fan couldn't help but look at Meng Fu.
Meng Fu casually pushed the hair from his forehead behind his ears and replied nonchalantly, "No."
Li Qingning also knew that Meng Fu had never acted before. What he saw in the collection of Meng Fu's acting works compiled by netizens were all modern thunder dramas, but he still found it strange.
She has never acted before, how did she do it so naturally
When the group arrived at the entrance of the film and television base, Li Qingning stopped.
"By the way, what kind of perfume are you talking about?" Li Qingning only remembered this when Meng Fu was about to get in the car. "It's really useful. Where did you buy it and how much did it cost?"
Meng Fu was thinking about the medicinal materials. Hearing this, he said casually: "I bought it when I was visiting the night market. It cost ten yuan a bottle."
Ten yuan is a lot of money.
Judging from her expression, it didn't seem like she was joking.
Moreover, the glass bottle is indeed of a bit inferior quality, as if it was produced wholesale, and it doesn’t even have a label.
Li Qingning believed it.
"Breaking price," Li Qingning quickly took out his mobile phone and transferred a thousand yuan to Meng Fu: "Then you help me buy another hundred bottles, and I will buy one bottle for each of Director Xu and the others. Their memories are not very good either. , there’s not much in one bottle, I’ll probably use it up in less than half a year, so I’ll buy some more and store them at home.”
Meng Fu, who had reacted, looked down at the thousand yuan that Li Qingning turned over, and said: "..."
I finally realized what it meant to shoot myself in the foot.
Regardless of whether this is a matter of ten dollars, although a bottle of this kind of perfume doesn't have much, it can't be extracted casually.
"You collect the money first." Li Qingning urged Meng Fu.
Meng Fu held the phone, then raised his head and looked at Li Qingning seriously, "Teacher Li, the old man who set up the stall changed his career because he couldn't sell perfume."
Li Qingning was stunned, "Have you changed careers?"
"Yes, he went to tell people's fortunes. I don't know where he is, and the output is low. Next time I meet him, I will ask him to bring you two bottles." Meng Fu looked at Li Qingning and nodded.
Li Qingning frowned and imagined for a while, "He is just old, no one believes him, the packaging of the perfume bottles is not good, no one knows the goods, it is a waste of talent, you keep the money, and when you meet him in the future, Just give it to him and let him delve into his own stuff.”
After all, not everyone, like Meng Fu, would really believe that these perfumes would be good for memory.
Maybe most young people bought it because the old man was pitiful, but ten yuan is more expensive than a cup of milk tea for a little girl nowadays. Li Qingning felt that those little girls didn't take it seriously and just threw it away, so it didn't sell well. .
After all, when he first got the perfume Meng Fu gave him, he didn't take it seriously.
He thought about the old man's miserable situation, raised his head and told Meng Fu: "By the way, I have his contact information. Remember to give it to me, and I will invest in him."
Meng Fu: "...Thank you."
Meng Fu dragged himself into the car with heavy steps.
**
"Brother Cheng's phone number." In the car, Zhao Fan handed the phone to Meng Fu.
Meng Fu put on a blindfold and put the phone to his ear, "Brother Cheng."
"Well," Su Cheng put on the headphones, his brows were cold, and he casually browsed the files on the computer: "When will you get back?"
His voice was always low and his words were straightforward, and even his questions seemed like affirmations.
"I'm exhausted both physically and mentally." Meng Fu lowered his seat and lay down on it. "I still have some things to deal with. I'll arrive in T City around 11 p.m."
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, "I asked Su Di to wait for you at the airport."
Su Di did not follow Meng Fu in the live broadcast this time. Although he was also Meng Fu's assistant in name, in fact, only Zhao Fan knew that she was Meng Fu's real assistant.
Not to mention Su Cheng, Su Di also disappeared for two days from time to time.
Zhao Fan didn't know what he was going to do.
"You already have over 10 million fans on Weibo." Su Cheng reminded Meng Fu politely.
Zhao Fan also said last time that Meng Fu rarely sings and dances since the girl group, so he asked Meng Fu to dance solo for a few minutes as a bonus.
Meng Fu was surprised, "So fast?"
She knew she had a Weibo, but she hardly ever surfed the Internet. Zhao Fan managed her Weibo for her. There was no original Weibo, but official advertisements were forwarded.
Someone commented on Meng Fu’s Weibo posts over the past three months—
Except advertising is still advertising.
That's why Zhao Fan asked Meng Fu to perform a personal dance in the welfare video last time.
"Okay," Meng Fu thought for a moment, "I will try to finish filming when I get back to the crew."
The two hung up the phone. Here, Su Cheng put down the phone and reached out to take off the earphones. Then he looked at the computer and reopened WeChat. The chat interface on WeChat was still Zhao Fan's.
Su Cheng looked at the few photos sent by Zhao Fan, his expression still a thousand years indifferent.
About two minutes later, he exited Zhao Fan's chat page and opened Su Di's avatar—
Let Manager Sheng prepare and go see him tomorrow.
**
Here, Meng Fu has returned to the Xiangjiang River.
It was getting late. Zhao Fan accompanied Meng Fu out of the car and looked at the unfamiliar place. When she looked up at the sign at the intersection "Xiangjiang Medicine City", she was a little curious, "Medicine City?"
Meng Fu also got out of the car. She put on her MF hat and looked up at the simple plaque without saying anything.
Seems to be in a daze.
"Are you okay?" Zhao Fan called her several times.
"It's okay," Meng Fu came to his senses, looked away, and walked inside, "Let's go."
Entering from the entrance, you can see the medicinal shops on both sides.
Nowadays, TCM is on par with Western medicine in China. There is also a TCM research base in Beijing. In addition to these, several domestic TCM doctors are also well-known internationally, so there are many TCM pharmacies in the country.
But Zhao Fan didn't know that Xiangjiang actually had such a large medicinal material base.
Standing on the street, you can smell the faint smell of medicinal herbs.
The whole medicinal plant is very big, and all the streets are in the shape of "field", which is very regular.
Meng Fu was very purposeful and turned left at the second fork in the road. Zhao Fan saw it and asked, "Have you been here before?"
"Hmm." Meng Fu stopped in front of a large herbal medicine store and said lightly "Hmm."
Zhao Fan tilted his head, surprised.
When she met Meng Fu two years ago, she had just dropped out of school and was very unfamiliar with T City and the entertainment industry, which fit her image very well from the "Ten Thousand People Village".
Xiangjiang is also quite far from T City, and it takes a while to take a train or a plane.
Meng Fu had never been to T city two years ago, so how did he come here
Meng Fu was not afraid of Zhao Fan's probing, so she lowered her hat and walked directly to the medicinal shop.
There are small drawers for storing medicinal materials on three sides of the medicine store. The scientific names and serial numbers of the medicinal materials are engraved on the outside of the drawers.
The order of placement is based on the first order of the medicinal materials.
Zhao Fan took a look and saw that there were 699 serial numbers in the large and small boxes. She was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw so many medicinal materials.
There are still a few individual customers in the medicine store.
The middle-aged man sitting at the checkout counter was reading with his head down. When he saw another customer coming, he raised his eyes slightly, and his voice was not very enthusiastic: "Just take a look and tell me the serial number of which medicine you want."
After he finished speaking, he continued to read with his head down.
The other individual customers were not surprised by the attitude of the manager of the medicine store, and Meng Fu was also used to it.
She did not go to see the medicinal materials like other individual tourists, but walked directly to the man in Zhongnian and reported the twelve serial numbers, "62, 109... 711, 769, 898."
Beside him, Zhao Fan patted Meng Fu on the shoulder and reminded Meng Fu in a low voice: "There are only 699 kinds of medicinal materials at most."
The three types reported by Meng Fu all exceeded the serial number.
"Grind into powder, 711, 150 grams. Others, according to one serving." Meng Fu looked past the middle-aged man and looked behind.
The middle-aged man turned on his computer and typed down the medicinal materials that Meng Fu needed on the order number. At first, he typed in the number that Meng Fu reported. It was not until Meng Fu reported the number of 711 that he paused and looked up at Meng Fu. He brushed his hand and held his glasses, "Guest, do you need medicinal materials for 711, 769 and 898?"
Standing next to Meng Fu, Zhao Fan noticed that the middle-aged man, who had always had a calm expression, became much more respectful when he heard Meng Fu report the last three serial numbers.
Meng Fu tapped his fingers on the table, "Hurry up."
"Wait a moment." The middle-aged man quickly dialed down the three numbers, then pressed call again, and went to prepare the materials Meng Fu needed in person.
Only then did Zhao Fan know that Meng Fu was right, there were some medicinal materials here that were not kept on the surface.
But she was surprised by the middle-aged man's attitude.
Is there anything strange about these last three herbs
Five minutes later, the middle-aged man took the medicinal materials.
It didn't look like much. It was packed in a wooden box. Meng Fu reached out to take it, then turned to Zhao Fan with a serious face: "Sister Fan, the money for the medicinal materials will be deducted from my salary."
Zhao Fan took out the card and swiped it for Meng Fu, and planned to send it to Su Cheng when he went back later to remind him to remember to deduct Meng Fu's money.
It was just Chinese medicinal materials, and Zhao Fan originally thought he wouldn't have much money.
When it showed that ten figures had been deducted, Zhao Fan raised his head and looked at Meng Fu: "..."
She finally knew why Meng Fu wanted her to quit.
When the two of them went out, the middle-aged man behind them personally escorted Meng Fu and Zhao Fan out with a very warm and respectful attitude.
"Boss," the staff who took the medicinal materials from the medicine store finished processing the lines. Seeing the boss's attitude, he was very shocked and confused: "Is that customer our platinum user?"
As the largest drug store in the entire medicinal city, the staff naturally know the details of the medicinal store, and they also know that their medicinal store is connected to the auction house.
Their boss rarely appears in the store. Unless there are platinum-level customers, their boss will come out to receive them.
But just now...
The female customer didn't take out her platinum card, or even an ordinary membership card.
"You don't understand." The middle-aged man just glanced at the staff and shook his head.
The medicinal materials after 700 are all spice raw materials needed by special perfumers. Naturally, these will not be sold to ordinary people, so they will not be placed on the table. The female customer just now can report the last three serial numbers, which means that she Remember all the raw materials after 700.
Ordinary people naturally cannot remember these raw materials. Only perfumers can know -
Or the people around the perfumer.
The status of perfumers has always been distinguished. The raw materials they use are basically carefully selected from the medicinal materials market, and few people will come here to buy them in person.
It is so difficult to meet a perfumer, even middle-aged men have never met one a few times.
"Dragon bone incense, golden Yanmu..." The middle-aged man looked at Meng Fu's leaving figure and murmured, "What kind of spice is this refined?"
He is also someone who has been exposed to a lot of incense, but so far he has not found any spices that require the use of Jinyanmu, because the properties of Jinyanmu cannot be blended with other spices.
The man in Zhongnian looked away, then dialed a number and said, "Hey, Lao Jin, is there a very young female apprentice in Xiang Xie?"
**
This way.
Meng Fu also arrived at T City Airport.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, there was no one at the airport and the lights were very bright.
Zhao Fan saw the car coming to pick them up from a distance.
The people in the car seemed to have seen them, and got out of the driver's seat and stood on the roadside.
The other party was wearing a beige sweater and gray trousers. He had a tall and straight figure. Under the airport headlights, his face was extremely beautiful. However, his aura was cold, and people passing by did not dare to look at him.
"Brother Cheng? Why are you here?" Zhao Fan was a little surprised.
Su Cheng sat in the driver's seat and put his slender fingers on the steering wheel. "I just have time," he looked at the back seat, "Mr. Sheng will arrive at nine o'clock tomorrow."
Meng Fu hugged the box and yawned, "Okay."
Zhao Fan thought Manager Sheng was here to talk about Meng Fu, so he didn't care and nodded, "I'll go directly to the branch tomorrow."
Su Cheng drove in front.
Meng Fu slept on the plane and was not sleepy. On her mobile phone, Li Qingning sent a message on WeChat asking if she had arrived.
It was posted an hour ago. Meng Fu was on the plane and turned off the Internet so he didn’t see it. He only saw it now.
It was now 11:10, and Meng Fu didn't call Li Qingning, but just sent him a reply -
Just arrived.
After replying to this message, she scrolled down her WeChat account. There were several messages she received on the plane, from Director Xu—
Xu recommended the postcard of Fang Naka Town to you.
Xu: This person insists on adding you.
Last time when I was with Yi Tong, Director Xu even said something about Yi Tong, but today he simply said "this person".
Meng Fu raised his eyebrows, then clicked on the postcard and sent the friend request.
She originally wanted to ask Director Xu about Li Qingning's character, but it was too late now and she didn't send it. She planned to ask Director Xu tomorrow.
After answering these questions, she originally wanted to turn off her phone, but a new message popped up on her phone—
Teacher Li: Arrived so late
Still up so late
Meng Fu didn't expect that Li Qingning hadn't slept yet, so she replied that she bought the ticket late. Then she remembered about introducing the character to him, so she asked first -
Teacher Li, I might introduce you to a movie role. Do you want to go
On the other side of the phone, Li Qingning had just finished filming his last scene.
Because he has been filming a variety show for the past two days, his acting role has fallen off a bit.
He was currently taking off his makeup and chatting with his agent. When he saw Meng Fu's words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"This kid still knows how to respect me." Li Qingning reached out and took off his robe.
Seeing him like this, the manager asked, "Is it Meng Fu?"
"Well, she said she wanted to introduce a movie resource to me." Li Qingning said with a sigh, "
"Introducing resources to you? It must be because you have taken care of her for so long." Hearing Li Qingning say this, the manager also laughed and couldn't help but shake his head, "This child has a grateful heart, but he thinks too much. How can you do that?" Lack of resources.”
There are many people waiting for Li Qingning to make a movie.
Meng Fu wanted to introduce resources to Li Qingning and had to wait at least ten years. Now, the agent did not take Meng Fu's introduction of resources to Li Qingning seriously.
