mid-September.
The sky is slightly cool, with slanting wind and drizzle, "My Husband Is a Scumbag" and Dongfang Film and Television City held the opening ceremony.
Jiang Tang wore a simple linen dress, her long hair was tied up casually, and her makeup was neat and tidy.
When she appeared at the opening ceremony, the staff of the film crew and the reporters who came here were a little surprised. Although she was not an actress, let alone a flirt, the topic was no worse than them. The title "Mrs. Lin" attracted the most attention.
The director, who knew Jiang Tang's identity well, glanced at the actors beside him and said, "This is our screenwriter, Jiang Tang."
screenwriter
It was only then that they remembered that Jiang Tang had indeed said in "The Journey of Life" that he wanted to be a screenwriter. They did not expect to have a work early on, and the work was still so... hard to describe. Thinking of the intricate relationship and the sour plot, the director and the director worked together. The eyes of people looking at her became complicated.
"The female lead and the male lead are here!" The stage manager yelled, and Jiang Tang and the others turned their heads to look over.
The lead actress Jie Qianchou is only wearing sportswear. Her facial features are very recognizable in the entertainment industry. Her raised eyebrows, sharp phoenix eyes, straight nose, and thin lips are not too outstanding when combined. , but it is very engaging, not annoying, and the cold and indifferent temperament is also in line with the miserable heroine in the early stage.
Turning his eyes, Jiang Tang's eyes collided with Li Changfeng. When he saw Jiang Tang, he was obviously a little surprised, and hurriedly looked away.
The leading actors and all the staff members are all present, and the opening ceremony officially begins.
After the incense, the entire crew took photos together, and it was around 11 o'clock when the whole process was completed.
At this time, the director said: "I have reserved a seat at the hotel, let's have a meal together."
Jiang Tang was a little cold, so she took out a shawl from her backpack and put it on. When she was about to go to the hotel with them, a phone call came in, and she was walking down the street.
"crooked?!"
A soft and cute voice came from the phone.
Jiang Tang laughed immediately, but said nothing.
"Way?" Qianqian babbled, and then, there was a bang bang bang bang sound from the microphone, like a phone call.
She didn't continue to tease her daughter, she coughed lightly and said, "Mom is here."
Hearing the familiar tone, Qianqian on the other end of the phone giggled.
"We came to Dad's company today. We met a lot of beautiful ladies and sisters, and even gave out snacks for my brother and me. That's great."
Jiang Tang frowned: "Didn't Mom say you should eat less snacks?"
Realizing that she had slipped her tongue, Qianqian immediately shut up quietly. She rolled her eyes and hurriedly changed the topic: "Now we are going to have dinner at the company's restaurant with Dad. Have you eaten, Mom?"
She glanced at the staff walking in front: "Ready to go."
When Qianqian was about to say something, someone snatched her mobile phone away. Lin Suizhou held her daughter with one hand and answered the phone with the other, "Hello."
Jiang Tang pursed her lips: "Yes."
Across the phone, the couple smiled and fell into silence in a tacit understanding.
In order to cooperate with Qianqian, Lin Suizhou walked very slowly, nodding his head from time to time to respond to the staff actors who greeted him, his lips outlined a beautiful arc, and the brows that used to be stern were full of warmth at this moment, making the passing staff sigh. The boss who announces the wedding is different.
Lin Suizhou ignored the two short arms that were constantly stretched out, and his voice was magnetic: "I heard that the leading actor in your play is Li Changfeng?"
"Yeah." Jiang Tang lowered his voice, "If I had known that he had a feud with you, I would have objected."
Lin Suizhou: "You are a small screenwriter, and it is useless to object."
Jiang Tang: "It's okay, I have a backstage."
Lin Suizhou happily waited for Jiang Tang's next words.
She said, "President Xiao Xia."
Lin Suizhou: "..."
Lin Suizhou was unhappy: "It's better to rely on me than to rely on him."
Jiang Tang stretched her eyebrows and said, "How can it be the same? You are my family member, and he is an outsider. Relying on you and relying on him are two different concepts."
She said a lot of nonsense in a mess, none of which made sense, but... the word "family" made Lin Suizhou very useful.
Two steps away from the restaurant, Lin Suizhou's eyelashes trembled. Looking at the flow of people in front of him, he looked out the window, and his tone was deliberately lowered and softened: "Do you miss me?"
"..."
Slap.
The phone hangs up.
Jiang Tang kept up with the large army briskly, looking at the unfamiliar crowd and street scene around her, Jiang Tang covered the thin shawl on her shoulders, as if... a little homesick.
"Father is naughty, he won't let me talk to mother." Qianqian puffed up her cheeks, and let go of Lin Suizhou's hand angrily.
She walked in front with her arms crossed, only giving Lin Suizhou an angry back.
"Qianqian and Dad are both bad, they don't let me and my elder brother talk to my mother." Liang Shen, who was walking behind, also lost his temper, and trotted a few steps ahead of his sister and parents.
He ran very fast. He was afraid that his younger brother would be dumped on the first day of the junior high school, so he hurried over to pull him, frowning and scolding: "Liang Shen, don't run on the road."
Liang Shen made a face and ran even faster.
Lin Suizhou put his hands in his pockets, he didn't care, and he didn't mean to coax his daughter: "I use my mobile phone to call my wife, it should be."
Qianqian: "..."
Hey, she didn't bring out her small phone today.
"My Husband Is a Scumbag" has only 12 episodes, and 30 days of filming is enough time.
As a screenwriter, her task on the set is to assist the director and actors, organize and revise the lines and plots, but most of the work is done by the other two screenwriters. Those two are well-known screenwriters in the circle, and now they come to cooperate with a newcomer. He didn't make things difficult for Jiang Tang, but he didn't give her a good face. He asked her to bring tea and water from time to time, and he treated her as a thug.
Maybe it's because of becoming a mother, Jiang Tang has restrained her temper now, and she is not angry at their deliberately indifferent actions. When people ignore her, she will not put a hot face on a cold butt, and stick to it. As for serving tea Water is even a trivial matter, and she can still take this time to learn some skills secretly.
Shooting has been going on for about a week, and the process is a third of the way through.
This afternoon is filming a scene where the heroine and the female partner are together. The actors are all putting on makeup in the background, and the studio staff are making final preparations.
As soon as Jiang Tang arrived on the set, he was stopped by someone: "Jiang Tang, the director has something to do with Chang Feng, can you please go to the backstage and call him over? His assistant doesn't know where he is, and the others can't leave either... "
Seeing her anxious face, Jiang Tang couldn't refuse, so he nodded.
All the way to the backstage, when passing the leading actor's dressing room, he suddenly heard a sharp noise coming from inside, Jiang Tang couldn't help but stop, and looked inside through the crack of the door.
Inside stood the leading actress Jie Qianchou and the supporting actress. The supporting actress of this drama is a newcomer from nowhere, with a pointed chin and big eyes, and a standard Internet celebrity face. I thought Jie Qianchou's face was not good-looking at first. When people stand together and compare, they feel that Jie Qianchou's temperament is refined.
Jing Xiaorou pointed at Jie Qianchou, with undisguised anger on her face: "I left my earrings on the table, but they disappeared after I went to the toilet, and you said you didn't take them?"
Facing Jing Xiaorou's accusation, Xie Qianchou's brows were light, and she defended in a steady tone: "I told you, I didn't take your earrings."
"It must be you, shameless!" Jing Xiaorou didn't want to listen to her, and after she cursed loudly, she was about to slap Jie Qianchou on the face.
Jiang Tang's heart skipped a beat, and she pushed the door open with a snap, Jiang Tang's sudden intrusion stopped Jing Xiaorou's raised arm in mid-air.
The two looked over at the same time, looking at Jiang Tang who entered the door, they were both stunned for a while, and soon, Jie Qianchou stopped talking, with an indifferent expression on his face.
"Sorry, I'm here to find someone." She stepped forward to stand in front of Jie Qianchou, looked at Jing Xiaorou with a smile, "I saw you guys arguing as soon as I came here, what happened?"
Jing Xiaorou put her hands down and crossed her chest: "She stole my earrings."
Jie Qianchou was a little impatient: "You lost it yourself."
Jing Xiaorou sneered: "I'm not a three-year-old child, how could I lose things."
Jie Qianchou was too lazy to tell her, and turned around to leave the dressing room. Seeing this, Jing Xiaorou immediately grabbed Jie Qianchou's arm: "Don't leave, the matter is not over yet, this dressing room is me except you. I've searched for it, isn't it you, are you a ghost?"
Jing Xiaorou was aggressive and refused to give in, and Jie Qianchou refused to admit it.
In this mixed entertainment circle, Jiang Tang has already developed a pair of eyesight, she can tell what is right and what is wrong, like the current situation, only people who are not stupid can see what is going on.
She stopped Jing Xiaorou: "What earring did you throw?"
Jing Xiaorou took out the remaining one from the bag, the drop-shaped pendant was connected in series with a silver chain, it was a limited edition of a certain big brand, and it was expensive.
Jiang Tang asked again: "Where did you put it in the end?"
Jing Xiaorou stretched out her fingers to the dressing table, "It's right here, it disappeared after going to the restroom."
There are three makeup tables in this dressing room, which are close to each other, and are full of cosmetic products. She stepped forward to take a closer look, and finally locked her eyes on the gap between the tables. Jiang Tang Raising his eyebrows, he pushed the table hard, only to hear a slap, and the soft earrings fell to the ground.
Jiang Tang picked up the earrings and handed them to Jing Xiaorou, "There is a gap between the table and the table, such thin gadgets can easily fall in, you have to be careful."
Looking at the earrings on the palm, Jing Xiaorou was dumbfounded.
"However, should you apologize to Miss Xie?"
Jie Qianchou looked at her.
Jing Xiaorou bit her lip, she didn't say anything and naturally she didn't apologize, she stomped her feet and left the dressing room aggrieved.
Jiang Tang couldn't help laughing: "He has a big temper."
"That's not true." Jie Qianchou seemed to be used to it, with a calm expression, "Quan Jing is her aunt, and I heard that she has some relationship with investors, otherwise I wouldn't force her in."
Quan Jing is the first screenwriter of this play, Jiang Tang is a little surprised.
Jie Qianchou looked at Jiang Tang, with a faint smile on his face: "Thank you today."
"No, I'm just dropping by."
"I thought Mrs. Gui was very domineering, but you turned out to have a pretty good temper."
... Mrs. Gui.
Jiang Tang was silent: "I'm a Mrs. Lin at best, Mrs. Gui is too expensive, let's forget it."
She chuckled, turned and left the room.
Only then did Jiang Tang realize that her mission was to find Li Changfeng, she was too busy to delay, and went out to find someone, but when she passed by, the leading actors had already arrived, she was quite helpless, pulled a small horse, and took a fancy to Sit in a corner.
The filming of the afternoon scene started soon. The female supporting role and the heroine of this film were originally good girlfriends, but they broke up due to other factors. The relationship broke down.
The actors are ready, and the official start.
Jiang Tang crossed her long legs and watched the two actors play each other seriously.
Jie Qianchou is not considered a high-volume actress. After she left due to a micro-movie, she later guest-starred in many movies and TV dramas. Unfortunately, they were all supporting roles. This drama should be her first TV drama starring.
Although Xie Qianchou's performance was a little stiff and one-sided, it was highly malleable and didn't look so awkward. The eye scene alone left Jing Xiaorou by a large margin.
"I misunderstood you." Mu Hua, played by Jie Qianchou, got up from the sofa, stepped forward and walked in front of Jing Xiaorou, her eyes were dark and cold.
"you… "
Before the words fell, crisp applause resounded throughout the set.
The director shrank his shoulders and looked at the camera without shouting to stop.
Jing Xiaorou's cheeks were swollen, she was holding the coffee table with one hand, and the other hand was hanging tremblingly by her legs. The camera zoomed in, and she showed her terrified expression to the fullest. Obviously, this was her real reaction.
Jiang Tang opened the script, this scene was just an excuse, not a real fight, she looked at Jie Qianchou, the other party was still speaking the lines, Jing Xiaorou gritted her teeth, she was not convinced but she still had to bite the bullet and continue acting.
"Shut up! One pass! Touch up the actor's makeup and prepare for the next scene."
After the director called to stop, Jing Xiaorou was so aggressive that she wanted to find Jie Qianchou to settle the score. Before she could speak, Jie Qianchou walked up to Jing Xiaorou and apologized respectfully: "I'm sorry, I was too involved in the drama just now. Don't be angry."
He looked up, with a smile on his face.
Outright provocation.
Jing Xiaorou relied on her own background, she had never been bullied like this before, and now a light sorry couldn't erase the anger in her heart, she snorted coldly, and took two steps forward.
Jiang Tang closed the script, and slowly got up: "Xiao Rou, you performed really well just now."
When she said this, there was praise in her eyes.
Jing Xiaorou was taken aback, but did not react.
The director came back to his senses and said, "Yeah, the performance was really good, beyond expectations."
"You can make it, Xiao Rou."
"Xiaorou, you did really well just now."
"..."
All kinds of rainbow farts blew on Jing Xiaorou, which immediately knocked her out, and didn't bother about Jie Qianchou's slap.
She folded her arms around her chest, tucked her hair with her fingers, and squinted at Jie Qianchou: "It's okay, it's not as good as you said."
Everyone gathered her back to the rest chair, and the set became quiet again.
Jie Qianchou looked at her with complicated eyes, she blinked and hissed softly.
After a few minutes of rest, the last play of the afternoon begins.
This is a rivalry scene between the hero and the heroine, and the scene is going to be outdoors.
When the filming started, Jiang Tang discovered that it was Jing Xiaorou's male N character who entered the camera.
Her premonition was wrong, and she immediately stopped: "Director, isn't this scene in the script?"
As soon as the director opened his mouth, Quan Jing, the screenwriter who was discussing the script with the people around him, looked over: "According to your script, the female number one will go offline from here. We felt that it was a bit rushed, so we added a few scenes, and the number of episodes expanded to 20 episodes."
Because of a supporting actress, the role has been extended by eight episodes
It was the first time Jiang Tang had seen this kind of coquettish operation.
She suppressed her anger and looked at the director: "Director, do you agree to add a scene?"
The director nodded embarrassingly: "The investor also felt that the scene was a bit rushed, so..."
"Investor?" Jiang Tang sneered, and looked through the crowd to Jing Xiaorou. She was sitting slack, and when she felt Jiang Tang's gaze, she rolled her eyes to express her disdain.
"Director, I don't think it's right."
Quan Jing said coldly: "Screenwriter Wang and I have already agreed. The newly added plot can guarantee plot conflicts and twists. The main emotional line in the play only revolves around the hero and heroine. You also praised that her acting skills are very good. We made these decisions after a long time of deliberation. The revised script is only better than the original. I understand your feelings very well. Newcomer screenwriters who have just debuted are always reluctant to let others handle the script. "
She explained a lot in an orderly manner, and in the end she didn't forget to hurt Jiang Tang.
The director looked at Quan Jing and then at Jiang Tang. Now he is in a dilemma. The director naturally has resentment for modifying the script. Firstly, it increases the workload. Coupled with the emotional drama of the female supporting role, it became procrastinated, but he didn't dare to say anything, who made him incapable of offending investors
Jiang Tang's eyelashes were trembling slightly, she had no smile on her face, and her delicate face was calm, standing quietly, which made people feel inexplicably oppressed.
After a while, Jiang Tang smiled and counted them one by one: "First, this is my script; second, there is a clause in the contract I signed with your company that you are not allowed to modify the script. Have you asked the company for their opinion? Have you asked me for my opinion? Third, if someone slaps you, you will perform better than Miss Jing Xiaorou."
The words are over, the offending is over, and more importantly—comfortable!
She has been upset with these two for a long time, because of their talent and fame, they arrogantly do evil, and she is even more angry that they got in because of their connections. She has seen a little fresh meat who relies too much on nepotism but has no strength to snatch resources that belonged to others. Well, what they destroyed was not only a movie or a TV series, but also those acting schools who worked hard to hone their acting skills, but no one cared about them, and eventually disappeared into the sea of people.
She used to be an actress, helpless and unable to be the master, but now it's different, who made her have nepotism.
Sure enough, everyone in the crew changed their expressions. Jing Xiaorou looked at her with a pale face, and even Li Changfeng looked at her without using his mobile phone.
"You mean a contract?" Quan Jing also sneered, "Then have you noticed that the ownership of your works belongs to Miracle Film and Television? I know you are Mr. Lin's wife, and I know that you have a close relationship with Mr. Xia, but I If you accept this drama, you have to be responsible for this drama. If you make better suggestions, I will naturally accept it. Unfortunately, you don’t understand anything, and the plot you write is chaotic and complicated. Wang Bian and I will help you day and night Repairing and rectifying, now you are dissatisfied? All right, I will leave it to you, and I will quit."
She made it clear that Jiang Tang came here by relying on connections. If she does something else, Jiang Tang will use the back door to play a big role in tomorrow's draft, crowding out senior screenwriter Quan Jing. By then, apart from her own family, other companies will probably be I dare not use her script anymore.
Jiang Tang didn't speak, she stepped forward to take the script from Quan Jing in silence, and tore it up page by page in front of her.
Quan Jing gasped, never expecting Jiang Tang to be so shameless.
With a slap, Jiang Tang threw the rest on the ground, her eyes were indifferent: "Before you leave, remember to take your niece away too."
The director's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said: "Investors..."
Jiang Tang glanced at it from the corner of his eye: "The scriptwriter also said that I am Mr. Lin's wife and Mr. Xia's friend. I am personally the investor of this drama. Now, can I let you go?"
The studio was completely silent, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
After all, no one thought that Jiang Tang would make such a step.
They have been together for less than a week. Jiang Tang is usually easy-going and seldom talks. She has always responded to the requests of other members of the crew. She never complained no matter how Quan Jing manipulated her. Now... in front of so many people and the screenwriter circle The famous Quan Jing tore his face.
The consequence of what to do is that she may be boycotted by the screenwriter circle, which will even cause dissatisfaction from the outside world.
Seeing the debris all over the floor, Quan Jing turned her head and left without saying a word. The screenwriter who was with her sighed, shook her head helplessly, as if mocking Jiang Tang's stupidity, and finally followed Quan Jing's pace.
Jing Xiaorou stared blankly at the situation in front of her, and it took her a long time to react, and staggered out in high heels.
Jiang Tang rubbed her hair, "Is the little girl who played the waitress still there?"
In the crowd, a girl with big eyes raised her hand weakly.
Jiang Tang looked her up and down, although her appearance was not very outstanding, but it was also in line with the character of the female supporting role, Xiao Baihua, and she nodded with satisfaction: "Can you take the place of Jing Xiaorou, can you memorize the script within three days?"
Is there such a thing as pie in the sky
The girl froze for a moment, then nodded desperately.
She looked at the director again: "The investor will trouble your company to find someone to deal with it. I will bear all the consequences, including liquidated damages."
"Okay, okay..."
Jiang Tang also said: "As for our contract, I will ask someone to send it to Miracle's headquarters. You don't have to worry about it, you can just shoot with peace of mind."
He responded stiffly again: "Okay, okay."
"About today's incident, I feel very sorry." She faced everyone and bowed deeply, "Because of my personal reasons, the actors and staff may have to re-shoot Ms. Jing Xiaorou's clips. I will double the compensation for my time and energy.”
After speaking, she ignored the astonished stares of the crew and left the set without looking back.
Back at the hotel, the first thing Jiang Tang did was to check the account. The previous manuscript fee plus the remuneration for participating in "Life Travel" was not enough to pay for the investment and liquidated damages of the show. She checked the bank that Lin Suizhou gave her Card, she has never spent this card, and she didn't pay much attention to the amount in it. Now that she saw it, she secretly clicked her tongue at the amount in it.
After confirming the money, Jiang Tang contacted Lin Suizhou's assistant and asked him to help contact the lawyer and Miracle headquarters to finalize the final contract.
