"Hey, did you see that, over there," A staff member in the corner pulled his partner's arm and raised his chin toward the corner where Xi Qing and Gong Xiqiao were sitting, "You said Gong Xi, young master What do you think, the family has money, you have the ability, and you have a good relationship with the eldest young masters in the imperial capital like brothers, how can you not figure out how to enter this circle?"
In the eyes of outsiders, this circle is very popular and attracts a lot of attention. In fact, there are a lot of people in this circle, but how many are really prosperous? How many movies and TV series that are produced every year have no chance of being broadcast, and they are lost in the sea.
Some artists enter this circle for the sake of fame and fortune, but this one does not lack these. He won glory for the country and amazed the world with his "smart hands", and a painting of "Palace Banquet" was full of praise from domestic painters and historians. Li, he is not short of it, not to mention that one of his paintings can be sold for more than seven figures, the money in his hands is enough for him to eat for a few lifetimes, how unreasonable it is to join the entertainment industry
"For some people, the entertainment industry is Vanity Fair, and for some people, the entertainment industry is his game," said the staff member Yi, who was pulled by his arm. He can also win glory for the country in his acting career, you won't think he can't figure it out by then."
When he said this, even he himself felt a little ridiculous. Their motherland was rich and strong, and there was no shortage of cultural heritage. It was even one of the few countries in the world with a splendid ancient culture.
But even in the field of film and television, it can't compare to Western Europe, and even a few small countries in Asia can't compare.
In recent years, although some classic works have also been released in China, the international acceptance is still far behind. Even their country's artists are not particularly well-recognized internationally.
Therefore, Gong Xiqiao's success in the domestic film and television circle is not a big problem, but when he goes abroad, he can at most have the ability to create a few water bubbles. If he can be as good as Gu Nan, even if it is a great success .
"Hey," Staff A gave an inexplicable smile: "I hope so."
Now their international achievements in the film and television industry can only be compared with the domestic men's football team. If you want to win glory for the country in the film and television, it is better to write a few more characters and draw a few more pictures.
"If it really can..." Staff B laughed, thinking that he was a little ridiculous. After working in this circle for more than ten years, there is still such an illusion.
At noon, everyone squatted under the umbrellas at the filming site to eat a boxed lunch. However, because some seats always came to visit the class with ingredients, today's dishes were richer, two meat and one vegetarian, and the taste was particularly delicious.
Xi Qing did not make specializations. Like Gong Xiqiao, he took a box of lunch and a box of vegetables and ate it in front of him, but he had a fresh-keeping bucket with soup on his table than others.
"Is this the first time you've eaten something so unremarkable?" Gong Xiqiao took a bite of the rice. In order to prevent the wig from falling into the bowl, he also used a large black hairpin to fasten his hair on the costume. , the wide sleeves are also rolled up.
The owner of the dignified Xi family, surrounded by a broken table in the barren mountains and wild ridges, eating a lunch box with an umbrella over his head, this style of painting is really wrong.
Xi Qing shook his head: "I ate kebabs at a night market before." He opened the lid of the fresh-keeping bucket as he spoke.
The fresh-keeping bucket is very large, and there are two layers of grids in it, one is for winter melon and kelp and old duck soup, and the other is for mung bean and pork ribs soup.
Sitting not far from the two of them, Jiao Dao took a breath and looked towards the small table where Gong Xiqiao and Xi Qing were sitting. The president of the family has eaten lunch with them, and it is not too much for people to prepare their own soup.
When he goes back later, he can brag about it with his peers. He is the director who asked President Xi to have lunch with the crew.
But the question is... why does the soup taste so good
"The materials here are limited, so I can only make two simple soups," Xi Qing took two empty bowls from the bodyguard and filled the bowls with the soup. Delicious meals."
"I'll be welcome then," Gong Xiqiao smiled and drank the old duck soup with winter melon and seaweed, then said, "I think you should give your bodyguard a salary increase after you go back. This cooking skill can keep up with ours. Aunt Luo."
"Okay," Xi Qing picked the duck wings into Gong Xiqiao's bowl, "I'll give them bonuses when I go back."
The bodyguard standing behind Xi Qing stood as still as a mountain, but the eyelashes under the sunglasses trembled. Who would have a hard time with Qian.
"But you will go to the night market for barbecue?" Gong Xiqiao finished eating the duck wings, and said with some doubts, "According to your personality, you should not go to that kind of place."
"There are always accidents in life," Xi Qing picked another duck wing into his bowl. "Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to occasionally have an accident."
"Then do you think barbecue is delicious?" Gong Xiqiao asked curiously.
Xi Qing shook his head, "I don't remember what happened several years ago."
He can now remember only the people who accompanied him to the barbecue, and the liveliness on the side of the street at that time.
"I don't even remember the taste, it seems that it's been a long time," Gong Xiqiao nodded clearly, "It's boring to eat it alone, if you are suddenly curious and want to taste the taste, you can ask me to accompany you. ."
Xi Qing looked at Gong Xiqiao and suddenly showed a very shallow smile: "Okay."
Less than an hour after eating, it was Gong Xiqiao's turn. Two o'clock in the afternoon is the hottest time. Fortunately, this group of scenes happened to be shot under the tree, so the bad luck of being exposed to the sun was avoided.
This is a set of eye scenes. The immortal he played is meditating under a tree, watching the sky rise and clouds, expressing his life insights through his eyes.
Under the big screen, every little trembling of the pupil will be magnified infinitely. If the photography, post-editing, director and actors are not in place, after the movie is released, the eyes that should be very dramatic will likely become Dazed or pompous.
Director Jiao is very good at shooting details, and the photographers of the crew are all masters in the industry. With Xi's financial resources, he will not be able to find reliable post-editing. Therefore, Gong Xiqiao's performance is particularly important. This is also the first time he has filmed such a close-up eye scene in the crew that even the camera will be slowed down, which also caused the whole crew to sweat.
"Unit 1, move closer, pay attention to the close-up of the eyes, keep the scene quiet, and don't disturb the emotions of the actors." Director Jiao, who was caught in the work, suddenly lost the mask of the smiling tiger. As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire crew fell silent.
However, from where Xi Qing was sitting, he only saw several cameras surrounding Gong Xiqiao, and not far away there were staff members with big fans blowing at him violently, causing his sleeves and hair to return. There are leaves flying as far as possible in the wind.
At this moment, Xi Qing suddenly felt that it was not easy for these people in the film and television industry.
"Good, good, good good," Jiao Daolian said five good, patted his thigh excitedly, "Just use this, this is the feeling, this is the feeling."
Xi Qing looked at Director Jiao who was so excited that he was slapping his thighs and hammering the chair, and now he was a little fortunate. It was all about art, and Xiao Qiao was more normal.
After finishing today's shooting, Gong Xiqiao sat on a chair, and the makeup artists took off his headgear. Because the headgear was stuck for too long and the weather was too hot, his forehead was a little red, and his back also grew long. prickly heat.
After changing back to his clothes, Gong Xiqiao said goodbye to the rest of the crew because he wanted to accompany Xi Qing to leave.
Chen Yi looked enviously at Gong Xiqiao and Xi Qing who were surrounded by bodyguards and left, and then looked at the scenes on his own body. With a long sigh, he also wanted to take off his costumes and go back to the hotel to blow the air conditioner.
Xi Qing stayed here for two days and three nights. Gong Xiqiao didn't see him handle business affairs in the past two days. What the other party did every day was to accompany him to dinner, or to watch him filming at the filming site. The head of the great family.
But Gong Xiqiao didn't ask him about this, and Xi Qing never mentioned work to him, but when saying goodbye to Gong Xiqiao, he said with some regret: "If it's not for the company, I'm going to wait for you to return to the imperial capital. ."
"It doesn't matter, there are still a few days left for the filming on our side." Gong Xiqiao looked at the jeeps listening downstairs. Unlike the muddy jeeps when they came, these jeeps have been washed clean and are in the morning light. Brightly reflective, "I'll come to you when I come back."
"Pay attention to your body, don't patronize filming," Xi Qing stretched out her hand, paused slightly in mid-air, and patted Gong Xiqiao on the shoulder, "I'm leaving."
"Call me back when you arrive," Gong Xiqiao accompanied him downstairs. The two walked to the jeep, and the bodyguard opened the door for Xi Qing.
"Safe journey." Gong Xiqiao smiled at Xi Qing, the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
Xi Qing looked at him, and after a while, he bent down and sat in the car: "Goodbye." Before the door closed, he stuffed a small bottle into Gong Xiqiao's hand.
The jeep team slowly left the hotel, Gong Xiqiao stretched out his hand and waved, stood still and didn't move, looking down at the thing in his hand, it was a bottle of medicated oil to get rid of prickly heat.
The crew members who were standing behind him were a little relieved and a little regretful. President Xi left, and they finally don't have to be so restrained in speaking and doing things, but the quality of food is about to start to decline.
You can't have both fish and bear's paw, honestly don't deceive me.
It was not until Gong Xiqiao was no longer visible that Xi Qing turned her head and took the phone from the bodyguard in the passenger seat.
"The plan for the Bai family can be implemented."
Cut off the call, his eyes are cold. But thinking that someone from the Bai family was going to make things difficult for Gong Xiqiao because of a small endorsement, he didn't want to endure it any longer.
Originally from the same family, he didn't want the Bai family to lose face when they arrived. But since the other party can't wait to show his teeth and claws, he doesn't mind letting the other party have nothing left.
Two days later, a small accident happened in the hotel. Two thieves broke in in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, before they could do anything, they were discovered by Jiang Long who got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. Finally, the two thieves were sent to the local area. police station.
The local area is a poor and remote mountainous area, and the leaders are trying to use the opportunity of "Cultivation" to develop the tourism business. So when I heard that the hotel where the crew lived was patronized by thieves, I was so angry that I immediately decided to ask the two thieves to be severely interrogated, and even hired a few locals to patrol the hotel.
Not to mention the anger of the local leaders, even the residents of this town are very unhappy. They have long known that someone is making a movie here. Although they don't know what to do, they are very proud to think that the scenery here can be on TV. The result happened This kind of shameful theft incident, doesn't it ruin their reputation, and will other crews dare to come in the future
For such a small town with a small population, everyone is very familiar with each other, but any unfamiliar face will attract people's attention. Therefore, in the next few days, the hotel where the crew of "Cultivation" lives will be affected by full public support.
After the filming was over, in order to thank the local people for their help, the cast members each donated a sum of money to the local area to build schools and health centers.
Only then did the local people know that the crew who stayed here for a month turned out to be the crew of "Cultivation". Unfortunately, by the time they knew the news, the crew had already left. So even if the entertainment media came, they couldn't get any useful news.
However, the news that the stars of the cast of "Cultivation" donated money to build schools and health centers in the town was reported by the media.
After the news was released, some netizens ridiculed, "As expected of the arrogant crew, they went to film a movie for a month, and they even filmed a school and a health clinic for the local area."
Jokes aside, but everyone praised the behavior of several leading actors.
I have seen too many news about the film crew going to a certain place; but I still rarely see the film crew going to a certain place. I found that the local education and medical conditions are very backward, so I simply donated money to build schools and health centers.
"The crew of "Cultivation" is too low-key. If it wasn't for the media who happened to interview the local town leaders, maybe no one except the local residents would know about it."
"For this, after the movie is released, I am also willing to donate a movie ticket."
