However, the joyful mood only lasted one night, and I fell into a big trouble early the next morning.
Because I didn't sleep all night, I was a little dazed when I arrived at the company in the morning. I planned to go to the office to make a cup of coffee to refresh myself before going to the studio. When Xia Nuannuan found me at the tea bar, I leaned against the coffee machine with my head down and my eyes closed, waiting for the coffee machine to warm up.
She shouted at the top of her voice: "Shen Yan, you are still in the mood to drink coffee here. Do you know that because of you, the entire crew's work can't progress! Director Wang is looking for you everywhere now, so hurry up Go to the studio!”
I didn't react at the time, so I answered without thinking: "What does Director Wang want from me?"
"What are you looking for? Shen Yan, you haven't woken up yet. Yesterday you made Chen Shulei angry and left her, and no one can contact her until now. Knowing that the rest of the scenes are all the heroine's part, the heroine left, What do you think Director Wang wants to do with you?!" After she finished speaking, she made a 'stupid' gesture in her mouth. Only then did I realize that I had almost forgotten what happened yesterday afternoon.
"Oh, I'll go right away!"
I held the coffee cup and drank while walking, completely ignoring Xia Nuannuan's proud look. I knew she, like the rest of the department, was waiting to see what I had to offer. On the day of the opening ceremony, I bumped into the camera. Chu Jin said that as long as there were no accidents with the protagonist, the movie would be shot normally. It's okay now. I made the heroine angry. According to Director Wang's temper, he probably had the urge to tear me apart.
I trotted all the way to the studio, mentally prepared to be criticized by the crowd. Even if he really wanted to hit me, I had no choice but to endure it.
When we arrived at the studio, several staff members focused their attention on me. I asked a stage manager in a low voice: "Where is Director Wang?"
He pointed to the office inside with a sad look on his face. I took a deep breath and bravely walked over and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Director Wang's voice was a little low.
I opened the door carefully, and he was leaning on the chair, pinching the bridge of his nose with a distressed look on his face. When Director Wang saw me coming in, his eyes widened and he yelled: "Look at the good things you have done! Because you are alone, the work of the entire crew has been suspended. Who do you think you are messing with?" Okay, I just want to mess with Chen Shulei. She is missing now, and none of us can contact us. All filming of the movie must be completed before the end of the month. There are many things at the end of the year. If the delay continues, we will all be in trouble! Please tell me, this How do you shoulder the responsibility?”
I lowered my head and let him accuse me. I didn't think anything happened when it happened yesterday. I thought it would be fine if Chen Shulei lost her temper overnight. After all, she had stopped working several times before and caused trouble for the crew. Unexpectedly She was so reckless at this juncture that she just disappeared after saying she was missing. I have never encountered any trouble like this. Seeing the way the crew outside looked at me, it seemed like everyone was pointing their fingers at me. If I couldn't handle this matter well, let alone Yuan Sheng, I might I will be banned by all entertainment companies, and I will not want to do film and television makeup in the future.
At the moment, I don’t know how to respond. I can only lower my head and apologize to Director Wang: “I’m sorry, Director Wang. Since this happened because of me, I will find a way to solve it myself.”
"You solve it?" Director Wang looked disdainful, "You are just a makeup artist, how do you solve it?"
"I'm going to find Chen Shulei."
Director Wang showed a sarcastic smile, "Even her agent can't find her, so it's just you? OK, I want to see how much worse this matter can make you! Let me tell you, if the movie If we can’t make up the progress before the end of the month, you’ll never want to hang out in this circle again! Get out, I don’t want to see you, you’re so annoying!”
After leaving the studio, I sighed heavily, and a boy about my age chased me out and called out to me: "Your name is Shen Yan."
I turned around and said, "I know you, you are the guy with the microphone."
The little brother showed a silly smile, scratched the back of his head and said: "Well, the director scolded you, don't take it to heart, I can't blame you for this matter. We all know Chen Shulei's temper, and the director also knows that he just If you are upset and can't find an outlet, then you just vent your anger."
It turned out that he came after me to comfort me, which was very touching.
I also smiled, "I know, but it's all because of me, so I have to find Chen Shulei before the matter can be resolved."
The little brother looked at me and clearly thought I was naive. He glanced behind him to make sure there was no one around, then he came forward and said to me: "Actually, even if Chen Shulei cannot be found, the director team has a way to deal with it, so you can also Don’t be too anxious.”
"What can I do?" I was very curious. Even the heroine was gone, what else could I do to deal with it
"Look for a substitute." The little brother scratched his head again and said with a smile: "I don't know the details very well. Anyway, I heard from the recording that Chen Shulei's close-ups are almost done, and the remaining action scenes can be replaced by a substitute. Come and act. But you also know Director Wang’s temper. He will easily not use a substitute unless absolutely necessary."
I have learned about this. Director Wang is a well-known dedicated director in the circle. He loves to be realistic and requires perfection in any work. Unless it is a difficult martial arts scene or a larger-scale shot that requires the use of a stuntman, other If an actor asks to use a stand-in, not only will he not be approved, but he will be scolded for being unprofessional. But this is no longer something I care about.
I was dejected and sighed: "I hope Chen Shulei will come back when her anger subsides. I don't want to hurt everyone just because of me."
"Don't worry, haven't you heard a saying? Girls who love to smile will not have bad luck." His smile was very clean and pure, giving people a warm feeling. At this time, the whole crew wanted to stay away from me, but he took the initiative to comfort me. I glanced at the work ID card on his chest, Yang Xiao.
"Thank you, Yang Xiao."
Yang Xiao was a little surprised: "How do you know my name?"
I pointed to the work permit on his chest. He looked down, scratched his head and smiled innocently. "Ana Shen, can I be friends with you? Although I don't have much status in the crew, I can take care of you if you need anything in the future."
Yang Xiao's words made me extremely excited. In my memory, it seems that no one has been willing to make friends with me since the third or fourth grade of elementary school, so I only have one friend, Yuan Yushan, but because of her company, I have grown up. Not so lonely. Now that I have lost Yuan Yushan, looking back on the past, my growth history is as pale as a piece of paper.
I nodded repeatedly, with tears in my eyes: "Of course I can! I'm very happy!"
"Then it's settled. From now on, we are friends. I have many friends. I will introduce them to you more in the future, so you won't be so lonely." His unintentional words fell in my ears. A pain.
I asked him: "Am I always lonely in your eyes?"
He bared a row of neat teeth and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I just look at you alone every time. I feel quite lonely. Maybe you don't lack friends in your life, hahaha."
in life? In fact, it is quite lacking.
Regardless of the final outcome of this matter, it was at least rewarding for me. Yang Xiao and I waved our hands, returned to the studio to pack our things, picked up our satchels, and prepared to go out to find Chen Shulei.
Jin Jing and Xia Nuannuan blocked my way and said provocatively: "The culprit, you are really capable of stopping the entire crew!"
I glanced at them and said coldly: "Get out of the way!"
Jin Jingyan said sarcastically: "I thought Director Wang would fire you directly, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Fortunately, you gave me the position of chief makeup artist, otherwise you wouldn't know what disaster you would have caused to this movie." !”
"Are you done? Get out of the way!" I didn't want to pay attention to Jin Jing's personal attacks, and I didn't have much time to spend with her, so I planned to go out by her side. Unexpectedly, she got into trouble with me and blocked me: "Want to leave? I haven't finished speaking yet."
"What do you want to say?" I asked her with the last bit of patience.
Jin Jing raised her eyebrows proudly and spoke without any mercy, "Weren't you very arrogant before? You said you were the hardest working person. You are the best among our new batch of newcomers. Didn't you say that you are very noble and great? If you look at yourself now, do you think you were extremely stupid for saying those words at that time?"
He Lu stood up and slipped out from behind Jin Jing. Xia Nuannuan saw it and scolded: "He Lu! You flatterer, are you going to make a report again?!"
He Lu turned around, too scared to raise her eyes. She just said weakly: "I, I'm going to the bathroom!"
Jin Jing laughed loudly, pointed at He Lu and said to me: "Look, she is not on your side at the critical moment. I am very curious, what is the capital that makes you so arrogant?"
Proud capital.
Yuan Yushan asked me this once. She said she hated my condescending attitude. She said why I thought I was superior to others. She thought it was because of my family background, because my father was an official and my mother was a businessman. I live a comfortable life, so I look down on people who are poorer than me. I didn't explain anything to Yuan Yushan because I didn't think it was necessary. People who understand me don't need my explanation, but for people who don't understand me, whatever I say is just a lie.
"Get out!" I glared at Jin Jing fiercely. She had probably never seen such a fierce look and tough attitude from me before, and she was actually frightened. I didn't look at her, I pushed her shoulder away and walked past her.
When she was going out, she heard her howling loudly behind her: "Ana Shen, who the hell do you think you are!"
Who am I? I don't count. I am just an ordinary working class. Because my abilities are limited, I need to swallow my anger, but swallowing my anger does not mean that I am weak and incompetent. I respect you but you keep pushing the envelope. I will never give in!
