After receiving the message from the secretary, I heard that people from the Sheng Group were visiting and expressed their intention to invest in the film. (novel)
Jin Mingjing looked happy. He had a fight with the old man at home. Most of his cards were frozen and funds became a problem. During this period, he wanted to win over his friends and borrow some funds. Unexpectedly, a donor came to send money to his door. .
It seems that it is not a loss to hire the famous director Guan. No, Sheng Group must have confidence in this drama and want to invest.
The secretary took the guest to the conference room.
Gu Qing relayed Jiang Ci's words to Jin Mingjing, "This is what our boss meant."
Jin Mingjing frowned. He could understand the investor's request. It would be a bit too much to delete the intimate scene and not have a single scene. There is no way that the male and female protagonists in a drama should not kiss. Moreover, it is even more excessive. Yes, just do it so that the male and female protagonists cannot have any physical contact, which means that they cannot hold hands.
Are you kidding? Are you going to travel to ancient times? He wanted to question the other party, is your boss an antique? How old is he
Gu Qing saw Jin Mingjing's expression change, and of course he could see the other person's reluctance. He spoke businesslikely: "Of course, our boss has also specifically stated that if your company does not accept investment, then he will adopt an acquisition approach."
Hearing this, Jin Mingjing's face became even more ugly.
He knows the strength of the Sheng Group. Although in the past few years, the leader of the Sheng Group died unexpectedly and was replaced by Sheng Minghao, and the group has declined a lot. However, where is the strength, even if a Jin family is lost? , and couldn't resist the Sheng family.
However, according to what he knows, Sheng Minghao is planning a new project recently, and he probably won't have time to work on his film.
Jin Mingjing looked at Gu Qing and realized that the boss he mentioned was definitely not Sheng Minghao. Suddenly, he remembered the rumors that someone had taken over his shares after the leader of the Sheng Group died unexpectedly. This person had been hiding mysteriously behind his back.
The boss the assistant mentioned could not be the mysterious person.
Moreover, it seems that the other party came directly for the male and female protagonists. Jin Mingjing is a smart person and figured it out immediately. He turned the chair next to the conference table, sat down on it, and gave Gu Qing some advice.
... ...
"The other party said they would use a substitute?" Jiang Ci frowned slightly.
"That's right." Gu Qing conveyed: "What Mr. Jin means is that it is impossible for the male and female protagonists in a movie to not have any physical contact. However, when holding hands or kissing, you can use a substitute."
Hey, let him watch the other person use Su Yue's face to kiss other men
How can it be!
Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows coldly, "No, the intimacy festival must be deleted."
"Mr. Jiang, the fact that my wife accepted this play means that the plot in the play is within the range that she can accept. If the script is suddenly changed and my wife knows about it, she may be unhappy," Gu Qing advised, " Maybe you can ask Madam what you mean?"
Jiang Ci lazily raised his eyes, glanced at his subordinates, and sneered coldly: "Nothing!"
At the end of the day, it was basically Su Yue and Xu Shen's scenes.
If some people thought that Su Yue was just a vase without any experience before, after a whole day, everyone present knew that Su Yue had a strong camera sense and strong acting skills. Especially Director Guan, except for some places where he had to dig out small details and asked to do it over again, Su Yue basically passed the rest of the shots in one shot.
So much so that today's progress was so fast that the entire crew got off work early.
"I feel like I need to apologize to you."
At this time, Xu Shen walked over to Su Yue. His face was still wearing the makeup of the male protagonist Fang Licheng in the play. He had a slim figure and a strong youthful look.
Su Yue didn't understand what the other party meant.
"Before, I always thought that you didn't have any acting skills and would be a drag on the crew. But I didn't expect that your acting skills were so good. On the contrary, I made several mistakes just now, which caused you to reshoot." Xu Shen is a gentleman, and he was very interested in Su Yuecun from the beginning. He is biased and can sincerely apologize after discovering that his ideas were wrong. "But have you really never been exposed to acting before?"
During the filming, Su Yue got into the role very quickly, and her expression was so natural that he mistakenly thought she was the heroine Ji Yao several times.
"fine."
Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, this was her first time filming. It was normal to think this way. She wouldn't care at all and was too lazy to care. "I have never acted before, so just think that I am born with acting skills." The expression on Su Yue's face remained unchanged, unhurried, and there was no trace of lying at all.
Xu Shen nodded and agreed with Su Yue's words. He is an example. He became famous at a young age and has already won the Best Actor Award after only a few years in the industry. It has to be said that talent is very important.
After chatting with Xu Shen for a few words, Su Yue went back to Granny Ping's house to rest. It’s been a long time since I’ve been filming, and I was suddenly so focused on working. After I relaxed, I felt a strong sense of fatigue.
Lying on the bed, Su Yue took out her mobile phone and called Jiang Ci.
The phone just rang, and the next second, it was already connected. Su Yue held the phone and turned over to make herself lie down more comfortably, "Aao Ao. I've finished my work, are you still busy?"
The sky outside has darkened, and night has fallen.
Jiang Ci was obviously pleased by Su Yue's initiative to call her. He put down the pen in his hand and leaned back lazily on the chair, "Well, I'm busy."
"I'm busy..." Su Yue blinked and deliberately teased him: "Then I won't disturb you?"
"Tsk!" Jiang Ci snorted coldly.
Su Yue smiled quietly and rolled her eyes, but she knew that this man was stingy, so she stopped teasing him. She said, "Jiang Ci, have you read the script?" She had already sent him the script last night.
"I read half of it." Jiang Ci said slowly. Only halfway through, he discovered that there was a kissing scene. There was no need to read the rest of it because everything would be deleted.
"Then what do you think about the kissing scene?" Su Yue couldn't help but tease him deliberately.
The pale thin lips were raised dangerously, Jiang Ci's dark eyes were half-squinted, and he said quietly: "You want to take a photo?"
Su Yue lay on the bed, and the fingertips of her other hand randomly entangled a bunch of her hair, loosening it, twisting it, loosening it, and whispered: "Is it okay?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man on the phone sneered coldly, "Don't even think about it."
How dare she ask!
Su Yue let go of her hair from her fingertips and pursed her red lips to suppress the laughter that reached her lips. After a while, she finally spoke: "Are you not going to give it to me? You are so overbearing! Ao Ao, it is inevitable that you will encounter such things when filming. Kissing scenes and sex scenes are normal."
"Su Yue!" The man's low and displeased voice sounded in his ears. After a pause, he said with a sullen face and a frown, "You can use a stand-in for filming." This was Lu Qing's suggestion to Jiang Ci in the afternoon. However, it was completely rejected by Jiang Ci.
"Oh." Su Yue had already agreed with the director that she would use a stand-in. She just wanted to tease Jiang Ci.
"Then I'll listen to you and use a substitute." She walked down the steps and took the opportunity to praise herself, "Jiang Ci, I'll obey you."
Jiang Ci's chest felt tight a second ago, but at this moment, Su Yue's soft and coquettish words smoothed it over. Even the corners of his pursed lips were raised unconsciously, completely forgetting that in the afternoon, he firmly denied using The words of a substitute.
Slap yourself in the face.
Su Yue heard Jiang Ci snort on the phone and knew that he was satisfied. We haven't seen each other for several days. Su Yue really misses Jiang Ci, because across the phone, she is no longer as shy as she usually is when facing Jiang Ci. Her small mouth is very coaxing, and she whispers quietly to Jiang Ci. Sweet words.
Originally, Su Yue was a talkative and seductive person, but now she tried her best to coax people. No one could see her. In the large black and cold office, Jiang Ci was holding a mobile phone, his cold eyebrows raised. Even the corners of his lips were raised high.
... ...
During the rest room, Mao Yuanyuan walked over from the tent, with an angry look on her round face.
"Miss Su." She looked around, then squatted down next to Su Yue's chair, and said close to her: "When I passed by the dressing room just now, I heard Chu Mengyun and her agent talking. you."
Su Yue raised her eyes and looked at her, "What did you say about me?" She was quite curious.
When filming in the past, there were times when the second female lead secretly said bad things about her, but the other person always used her face to make excuses. Either she said she had a nose job or a chin job, and there was nothing new at all.
"I heard Chu Mengyun say to her agent that you are a newcomer and you are a big name, but you brought three assistants with you when you joined the set. And she said that there must be a financial backer behind you, otherwise you would not be able to win the role of the heroine. And... ... He also said that you only have a little acting skills, but you are praised to the heavens by everyone, which is not just the so-called."
Mao Yuanyuan was very angry. She almost went in to expose the other party's ugly face just now.
After just a short period of contact, she discovered that Su Yue was not only beautiful in appearance, but also had a good personality. Even if she was not as capable as the two assistants she brought, Sheng Yan and Sheng Tian, Su Yue would never say a word to her or look down on her. When she was in the dressing room, she had seen Chu Mengyun yell at her assistant twice and poke her head with her finger.
She felt more and more lucky, and she also regarded Su Yue as a goddess she admired. Now that Su Yue was being spoken ill of by Chu Mengyun and others behind her back, she would certainly be angry.
"Miss Su, I can go and scold you." Mao Yuanyuan volunteered.
"No need." She tapped the center of Mao's round eyebrows with her fingertips and chuckled: "If you scold him back, if the other person is thick-skinned, won't you be indifferent to the other person? And it will also make you look unreasonable."
"Then leave her alone?" Mao Yuanyuan was a little angry.
"No." Su Yue shook her head, "You'll know later."
There are many villains in the entertainment industry who greet people with smiling faces and hide swords behind their backs, and Su Yue has become accustomed to it. However, after being slandered behind her back, she considers that she is not a kind and generous character, nor is she a persimmon that can be manipulated by others. Of course, she must return it.
Next, Su Yue and Chu Mengyun have a rivalry scene.
Chu Mengyun has three years of filming experience, and her acting skills are considered to be the best among all the little girls. Otherwise, Director Guan would not have chosen her. Now, she finally had a scene opposite Su Yue, and she felt a little happy.
From the start of filming to now, more than half a month later, the entire crew has been praising Su Yue's acting skills. When she hears these words every day, she feels disgusted. They are just trying to save the director's face.
In the rival scene later, she was ready to crush Su Yue. In comparison, they will definitely find that Su Yue is nothing more than that.
Li Xiao, the second female lead in the play, falls in love with the male protagonist Fang Licheng. Her teaching service in the village is about to end and she will leave here and return to the big city. Li Xiao wanted Fang Licheng to leave with her, but Fang Licheng refused.
Li Xiao knew that Fang Licheng was not leaving because he wanted to stay and take care of Ji Yao. Ji Yao was not blind originally. Several years ago, her eyes were injured while rescuing Fang Licheng, which made her blind later.
Li Xiao knew that Fang Licheng wanted to repay Ji Yao's kindness, so he would stay in the village. Therefore, before she left, she went to Ji Yao's home and wanted to talk to Ji Yao about Fang Licheng.
Li Xiao found Ji Yao and directly told her his purpose of coming to her.
"Miss Li, what you mean is that Li Cheng is unwilling to leave because of me, because I have dragged him down?" Ji Yao lowered her eyes, spoke calmly, and tightened her fingertips casually on one side.
Li Xiao sat in the dimly lit room, still looking outstanding.
She said directly: "I believe you know Licheng very well. After all, you are childhood sweethearts. You can't see his situation in the village, but it doesn't mean you really don't feel it. Ji Yao, if you really think about him, Just persuade him to come with me and don’t become a burden to him.”
Ji Yao suddenly raised her head, with a pair of beautiful dark eyes without any focus. Her tone was calm but vaguely sharp, and she asked: "Am I a burden to Licheng? Then you asked Licheng, does he think so too? "
Chu Mengyun looked at Su Yue and forgot his expression for a moment.
"Stop!" Director Guan frowned, "Chu Mengyun, why are you so stunned? Say your lines."
Chu Mengyun came back to her senses instantly and blushed a little. She was stunned by Su Yue's sharp tone just now and was a little breathless. "I'm sorry, director, I kind of forgot the words."
"Do it again!" Director Guan signaled.
Looking at Li Xiao's position with a pair of dark eyes, Ji Yao quietly waited for Li Xiao's answer.
"Stop!" Director Guan said: "Chu Mengyun, you have to make expressions and say your lines. What are you doing sitting there?"
"I'm sorry, director, I still forgot my words." Chu Mengyun bit her lip. She didn't understand why she was subconsciously nervous when facing Su Yue and was suppressed by the other party.
"Come again!" Director Guan signaled.
Li Xiao heard the questioning tone in Ji Yao's tone. She was not a bad woman originally, but she liked Fang Licheng and couldn't bear him staying in the village without any future. She didn't think her idea was wrong. There were many ways for Fang Licheng to repay his kindness, and he didn't have to spend his whole life in the village.
"I know you like Licheng, and I also know that you were blinded because you saved Licheng, but you can't just ask Licheng to take care of you all your life, and stay in the village for the rest of your life without any future." Li Xiao raised his waist, It emboldened myself. "Ji Yao, good advice is hard on your ears. You may not think what I say sounds good, but what I say is the truth. If you really like Li Cheng, you should do it for his own good and not be too selfish."
"Am I selfish?"
Ji Yao's always gentle mouth pulled out a sarcastic smile. Her face was a bit blurry in the dim room. Her tone was a bit harsh, "Are all teachers good at criticizing people? You go back, I'm not good at being a human being. , and I’m not good at preaching, but I know etiquette, justice and integrity.”
Li Xiao: "You let it, you let it..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Director Guan looked at Chu Mengyun who suddenly stuttered, "Chu Mengyun, what's going on with you today? You didn't memorize your lines? If it doesn't work, just say so. Don't waste everyone's time."
Director Guan has always been strict and would not scold him if his expressions were not in place. Memorizing lines is the most basic requirement for an actor. Chu Mengyun could not even meet the basic requirements. He was either stunned or forgot his words several times. It was a complete mess. .
"Director, I'm not in a good state today and I want to take a rest." Chu Mengyun's face heated up at the strange looks from everyone.
"Okay, let's take a rest first."
When Chu Mengyun returned to her original position, her manager quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? You made several mistakes."
Chu Mengyun shook his head and said nothing.
She couldn't say that she had been suppressed by Su Yue when she was acting just now, and she felt a lot of pressure in her heart. Whenever she saw Su Yue's face or eyes, she subconsciously had the illusion of being oppressed. She would never admit that the other party's acting skills were so good. She was overwhelmed by the other party's momentum!
Su Yue also returned to the resting area. Mao Yuanyuan hurriedly stepped forward, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed, "Miss Su, your acting skills are so amazing. That Chu Mengyun had the nerve to step on your acting skills in the dressing room. It's better now." , must have been slapped in the face.”
She vaguely understood what Su Yue said to her just now. It was the best way to slap the other person in the face by embarrassing the other person and completely comparing him to the other person. This kind of revenge was satisfying.
"It's not enough." Su Yue took the thermos cup and drank some water. The bright and moist lips were stained with water color, making them even more beautiful.
Mao Yuanyuan was stunned, eyes full of admiration. Ah, the goddess who smashes women's faces is so handsome.
Sheng Yan and Sheng Tian looked at each other, their eyes shining brightly.
Originally, they thought that Su Yue must have a soft temper because of her beautiful appearance. Unexpectedly, after being in contact with her for a while, they found that this lady looked soft and didn't care much about anything. She was quite casual about many things and looked like she was easy to bully. That was because she hadn't stepped on her yet. Just the bottom line.
Once her line is touched, she will fight back. Reasonable and not merciless at all.
Su Yue didn't know that the three assistants beside her had a lot of thoughts about her. She closed her eyes to rest, and her calm look was completely opposite to that of Chu Mengyun, who was getting more and more nervous not far away.
Next, when filming continued, Chu Mengyun's condition was worse than before the break. She tried not to look at Su Yue, but she was still affected by Su Yue.
"Stop, do it again!"
"Do it again!"
"Again!"
"Come again!"...
Director Guan got angry and said, "If we can't get this shot today, we'll keep shooting."
The weather had darkened, and since it was an indoor scene, it didn't matter much. However, the crew was hungry and tired, so they couldn't help but feel resentful towards Chu Mengyun. There were already many staff members whispering and complaining around. They are most afraid and annoyed of meeting actors without acting skills, which means that everyone will be dragged down.
Until the end, Chu Mengyun knew that she would definitely not be able to shoot well today, and she also felt the resentment of the crew. After begging Director Guan to change the filming to tomorrow, Chu Mengyun glanced at Su Yue faintly.
If she didn't realize it at the beginning, after a whole day, she finally understood that Su Yue did it on purpose, deliberately affecting her performance.
... ...
After a month, there are still a few scenes shot in the village. If it hadn't been raining heavily during this period, which delayed the shooting, the filming in the countryside would have been completed.
It was still pouring rain outside, and big raindrops hit the glass window of the room, making a noisy "tap-tat" sound. Outside the glass window, there was a blur of white, and nothing could be seen clearly. Because of the heavy rain, everyone could only stay indoors and could not go anywhere.
Su Yue slowly calmed down and looked back. She checked the weather forecast and found that it would almost rain in the next month.
Su Yue called Jiang Ci and chatted: "Aoao, it's been raining heavily here. I checked the weather forecast for tomorrow. It's light rain, which is just right for shooting the remaining shots." The remaining shots are On a rainy day, Fang Licheng and Li Xiao were about to leave the village. Ji Yao was groping in the rain, trying to see Fang Licheng off.
Jiang Ci's lip color is a bit dry and white. Hearing this, he frowned slightly, paused while flipping through the documents, and lazily told Su Yue: "After you get out of the rain, ask the two assistants to make ginger tea for you. Don't act like a child and refuse to drink it."
"I know." Su Yue curled her lips. She hated the smell of ginger. "By the way, I heard that the investors of this drama are coming tomorrow. On such a rainy day, I don't know which investor has so much energy and is so idle to come here."
Jiang Ci twitched the corners of his lips but did not hum.
At noon the next day, the heavy rain that had been falling for seven consecutive days had become lighter. Director Guan wanted to take advantage of the current rain to finish filming the last few most important scenes.
The crew set off first, while Su Yue, his assistant, and some other actors followed behind.
Walking in the mountains, because of the heavy rain, the ground was full of puddles, water marks, mud, and it was still raining, making it very difficult for everyone to walk.
Chu Mengyun walked next to Su Yue. Ever since that time she made the whole crew complain about her and realized that Su Yue was deliberately teasing her, she didn't even say hello when she saw Su Yue, and she didn't even try to show off. Anyway, there are many female protagonists in the circle, and it is not surprising to everyone that there are cases of disagreement between the two female protagonists.
She looked down at her mud-stained high heels, feeling very bad. Looking at Su Yue next to her, she was walking easily with transparent shoe covers on her feet. In such a remote place, I don't know where she found the shoe covers.
Chu Mengyun secretly complained in his heart and followed the others listlessly.
Suddenly, the rain in the sky became heavier again, and it fell on people's faces, causing pain and pain, and it was almost impossible to open their eyes.
"It's raining heavily again, can we still shoot?" someone said.
"Should we turn back? The rain is too heavy and we can't take pictures."
"The rain is so heavy and it's so dangerous here. Where is Director Guan? Ask him if we should go back and take shelter from the rain temporarily." Someone suggested.
"Director Guan is walking at the front with the crew. Give him a call..."
Everyone stopped where they were. The rain was too heavy and they couldn't move forward at all. It seemed that we still couldn't take pictures today.
At this time, a loud "bang" sound was heard above everyone's heads.
I don't know who shouted, "Landslide, run." Then, everyone felt a strong air flow rushing towards them.
Su Yue raised her eyes in shock and saw a large amount of mud and rocks collapsed from the mountain. She wanted to run, but was held back by Chu Mengyun next to her.
