Chen Minhao was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but he was not sleepy. There were two things lingering in his mind.
One incident was that in the stormy weather, the director canceled the original filming plan of the lead actor, but arranged for extras to film a group scene in the rain. At that time, two heads of extras raised objections, saying that it was easy to catch a cold while filming in the rain, but the two were quickly calmed down secretly by the assistant director.
When Chen Minhao was going to the toilet, he overheard the assistant director saying: "If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will add a few scenes with lines for the two of you."
With just a vague promise, the two leaders of the extras immediately happily went to appease the emotions of the other extras.
Another thing is that Tong Ruize, who loves acting so much, is reduced to playing a rubbish role in a rubbish crew, and has to be slapped, or twice, by Wu Tianjiao, an actress in the crew who has poor acting skills.
Chen Minhao speculated that this was because the extras were not popular, and Tong Ruize's popularity was relatively low recently.
Chen Minhao has no intention of worrying about strength and popularity, which is the cause and which is the effect. He just felt that he had seen another side of the entertainment industry: the life of the frustrated.
Chen Minhao feels that he has had a smooth journey from time travel to now: he joined a three-person group, debuted as the first in "Artist Producer", successfully won the role in "Bing Dilian", and praised himself for having all his dreams come true. Not an exaggeration at all.
In this process, he met all the relevant people: Kang Hui, Mr. Zhang, all the mentors in "Artist Producer", Wu Hongrong, Zhao Yao, etc. These big guys who are considered figures in the entertainment industry, He is always kind to himself.
Chen Minhao feels that he has been a little drifting recently and is no longer as aggressive as he was in his previous life.
The more Chen Minhao thought about it, the more sober he became. He simply put on a nightgown, stood by the window, and looked into the distance. There were still many lights on in Hengdian.
He suddenly thought: If the two actors or Tong Ruize were the protagonists of a novel, all the hardships they have experienced so far can be summed up in five words: Don't bully young people into poverty, and what they have encountered All difficulties will eventually turn into medals on the road to success.
But life is not a novel.
Even after a person has gone through hardships, he succeeds. His success often has nothing to do with the hardships he experienced.
In his previous life, Chen Minhao was very disgusted with a saying: Failure is the mother of success.
His character's status as an orphan in his previous life was a failure in his life, and he did not feel that this failure would help him in any way.
Suffering never makes a person stronger. The true meaning of life is that the more setbacks a person experiences, the further away he is from success.
Today's two things made Chen Minhao intuitively feel: In the circle, if a person does not succeed, if a person does not keep climbing up, what kind of life will he face.
Chen Minhao knew that although he had many songs in his mind, he knew that with these resources, he decided that his lower limit would not be too low, no matter how bad it was, it would not be much worse, but Chen Minhao did not want to let himself be aggrieved.
Chen Minhao lay back on the bed and said something to himself, as if to encourage himself.
"Don't think that we can choose to escape now. Every step we take now determines the final outcome."
Chen Minhao thought vaguely that he had to keep working hard to climb up. He knew that his status as an orphan in his previous life made him feel a little psychologically deficient: it was very easy to feel insecure.
For him, security is never based on the approval of others, but on his own strength or other things he can rely on, such as money. An interesting thing is that the more a person cares about the approval of others, the less secure he becomes.
… …
The next day, Chen Minhao woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning. He slept too late yesterday and was still a little confused after washing. He took out the wind oil essence from his suitcase and applied it to his temples and chin, forcing himself to wake up. After all, he had two tough battles to fight today - filming with Zhao Qingyang, the male lead, in the morning, and Xing Xi, the actor who plays his master, in the afternoon. Filming.
Chen Minhao arrived at the set early and sat on a chair to read the script that he had already memorized.
Zhao Qingyang, the first male lead played by Zhang Chuanfeng, is Xiao Wangshu's elder brother.
Zhao Qingyang angrily ran to the back mountain to find Master Xiao Wangshu to question him: "Do you know the famous demonic witch Lin Chaojun?"
Xiao Wangshu replied calmly: "You already said she is famous."
Zhao Qingyang said: "But with your personality, you may not know even the most famous people."
Xiao Wangshu thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know how I know her, I do know her."
Zhao Qingyang said angrily: "Do you know that there will be a harmonious outcome if you join forces with demons and witches?"
Xiao Wangshu's expression was as calm as usual: "You are collaborating with others, why do you say this, senior brother?"
… …
Chen Minhao watched it several times, then remembered the results of the video he had practiced while filming in his room last night, and went through all the points of attention again in his mind.
Chen Minhao looked around. There were already many staff members busy preparing for today's shooting, but he didn't see his assistant: He Qiyan.
Chen Minhao thought to himself, did he have too high demands on his assistant
The assistant should have his own shooting schedule in hand. In other words, He Qiyan knew that he had to shoot this morning, but he didn't choose to arrive early.
After Director Zhao arrived, the crew of "Bing Di Lian" officially started the first scene of the day.
"Do you know the famous demonic witch Lin Chaojun?"
"Kah, Zhang Chuanfeng, you are here to raise an army to investigate the crime, not to care about the progress of your junior brother's martial arts. You have to act more fiercely, be a bit of a deterrent, and show off the momentum of a senior brother."
"Do you know the famous demonic witch Lin Chaojun?"
"Ka, Zhang Chuanfeng, you are looking for your junior brother, not your enemy. Put away that fierce expression."
"Do you know the famous demonic witch Lin Chaojun?"
"Kah, Zhang Chuanfeng, don't sound so confident, because subconsciously, you don't believe that your junior fellow apprentice will get to know a demonic witch."
… …
In fact, the first time Zhang Chuanfeng acted, Chen Minhao thought it was pretty good. His expressions, tone and movements were all on point, but he didn't think he would be called out by the director.
After the director called out four or five times, Chen Minhao breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally worried that he would hold back the crew, but he didn't expect that it was the male Zhang Chuanfeng who kept being called out by the director.
Zhang Chuanfeng just joined the cast today, which meant that the scene opposite Chen Minhao was Zhang Chuanyi's first scene. However, in this first scene, the director kept calling for blocking, and the rest of the crew looked unhappy.
