A young actor next to him, Zhang Fang, listened to Lu Chengyu talking with a famous artist for a while, then turned his head to talk to a few assistants behind him. Although he took into account Lu Chengyu's identity, he didn't think much of Shang Lu Chengyu's lack of acting skills, but he still leaned backstage to squeeze into the crew.
He became famous at a young age. Although he is less than 30 now, he has already become a well-known celebrity. It is already a certainty that he will appear in "Qiankun" this time. It's just that his favorite major role was originally assigned to Lu Chengyu, and he only got one role. Not as good as the clerk of the other party.
Entering the restaurant, the seats are also very particular. The main table must be the director's producer and several international superstars in China. The side table is the domestic superstar and has a background. The same is true for the other tables, although there is no obvious pressing. Seniors were ranked, but several masters of ceremonies calmly led these people to the table where they should sit, and everyone present was also sensible and would not sit where they should not sit.
Lu Chengyu originally planned to find a seat at the third table, but he was assigned to the second table. Looking at the superstars who walked out of the table and would cause crowds of fans, he picked the next seat very wisely.
Who knew that just after he sat down, a person was sitting on the left. He tilted his head and glanced, and his brows trembled slightly. This person turned out to be the famous Zhou Qingrong in the circle, Zhou Datianwang. As a junior, he politely nodded to Zhou Qingrong. Although he has no hobby of chasing stars, he has watched several TV series that Zhou Qingrong has acted in.
"Xiao Lu is playing my subordinate in the play, right?" Zhou Qingrong smiled at Lu Chengyu with a gentle face, looking very approachable, he was over forty years old, but from the appearance, he was only around thirty, "There is this one Handsome subordinate, I am under pressure as a chief."
"Brother Zhou, don't make fun of other people's children," a movie queen who was over fifty next to him heard this and said with a smile, "Those who like you are all women over thirty, and those who like our little land are all women. Young girls, the two of you are in one shot, and that is to take down the women of the whole country in one fell swoop. So, don't be under pressure."
As soon as the queen's words spoke, she immediately won the approval of the others. There are people in this circle, and they are more or less familiar, so soon someone started to joke about Zhou Qingrong, but it was a kind joke, and there was a faint meaning of praising Lu Chengyu.
Everyone knows in their hearts that no matter how well they get along, if a sentence is posted on it, they may never have filming, and they will disappear naturally, and even their fans will not find anything wrong.
Lu Chengyu also knows the difficulties in the circle, so he has been posing as a junior to get along with these people, and occasionally jokes with these people, but he never showed too close to these people from beginning to end.
The main reason for him to participate in "Qiankun" is to check some things that he didn't know in his previous life, and to familiarize himself with the behavior styles of some actors, so as to determine which actors can be used and which actors cannot be used when he invests in movies in the future.
The other artists present also knew that Lu Chengyu's identity was different from them. They praised Lu Chengyu because of the power of the Mu family, and because Lu Chengyu himself was rich and well-connected, so it was inevitable that there would be no opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Zhang Fang was originally disliked by Lu Chengyu, but seeing that Zhou Qingrong was more polite than himself, Zhou Qingrong was polite to Lu Chengyu, and most of the unhappiness in his heart was gone, and he was more jealous of Lu Chengyu.
I didn't get anything good at the opening banquet, but Lu Chengyu and these big names in the circle were familiar with them. The first scene that started in the afternoon was a reception that required several actors to appear. Lu Chengyu was a major from a wealthy family in the play, so in this scene, he needed to appear in a suit and leather boots that were popular in the last century.
The scene of such a reception was shot by several groups of cameras at the same time. In the middle was a group of people from the noble circle wearing fragrant temples, surrounded by crew members wearing coats or vests.
With so many big names coming together, it's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and showing their magical powers. It's easy to tell who is not good at acting and who isn't acting well enough.
Director Qin originally thought that Lu Chengyu would be very uncomfortable with this method of filming, but to his surprise, Lu Chengyu did not make any mistakes from beginning to end, and performed a rich major with high birth and excellent grades to perfection, although it was not a rare event. See, but one can't fault it.
After filming the important reception scene, the stone in Director Qin's heart fell to the ground. No matter how many actors in the crew came in through the back door, now that he can get the result he wants, the rest is not important.
The meaning of the play "Qiankun" is extraordinary, so from the actors' costumes to the props, they are very elegant, and the requirements for the actors' acting skills are also very important. The big names who usually call for wind and rain outside were scolded countless times in this play, and Lu Chengyu was also scolded by Director Qin. Although Director Qin is usually very amiable, but when it comes to filming, he is simply a living hell, and he has been scolded countless times.
All capable directors, no matter how smooth or upright they are in their daily life, have their own attitudes during filming, such as Director Qin, such as Zhang Shuo.
Lu Chengyu didn't feel that the other party was deliberately embarrassing him. During this period of filming, he had learned a lot, so much so that an assistant director told him that when he only had the last scene where he died, there was still so much left. reluctant.
In the play "Qiankun", the requirements for blasting are very high, with the goal of shooting the most realistic effect, and professional instructors teach the actors how to safely pass through the blasting point.
The military uniform on the major's body was full of dusty blood donations and scorched black corps. All around him were his fallen comrades. His eyes swept across the young faces. The armored vehicle that drove over the corpses was holding the national flag stained black by blood donation. With a blood stained face, he slowly raised his head, looking at the blue sky and the bright sun above his head, his hand on the flagpole tightened. The body, which had been sluggish due to excessive blood loss, also stood up straight.
"The nation will not die!"
"The country will not die!"
His pupils were gradually dilated, and he seemed to hear the children singing the national anthem. The hand holding the flagpole suddenly loosened, and people fell heavily. Only the flag stained red by blood donation was still fluttering in the breeze.
Because this scene was a very important scene, the staff were surrounded by staff. When Lu Chengyu fell straight down, the staff in the audience seemed to feel heavy. Although there was no post-production stage and no musical rendering, Lu Chengyu accurately captured the characters' characteristics.
The major was born in wealth and did not understand the suffering of ordinary people. He was proud but qualified to be proud. However, when the national disaster was approaching, he did not go abroad to seek refuge like others, but fulfilled his duty as a soldier and obliged to sacrifice his life for the country.
"Go!" Director Qin was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to signal that the scene was over, then the two assistants hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Chengyu up, and He Long also took a coat and put it on Lu Chengyu.
In this kind of weather, wearing a thin military uniform is simply suffering. He Long and the other two assistants arranged by Yan Mu dressed Lu Chengyu while giving him warm water.
"Thank you," Lu Chengyu held the warm water glass and took a sip before making his voice sound less trembling, "Have you booked your flight back tonight?"
"It's already booked," He Long said, knowing that Lu Chengyu was worried about the company's affairs, "Mr. Yan has already said that he will pick you up at the airport tonight."
Lu Chengyu nodded, because he had been out of the capital for nearly a month because of the filming of "Qiankun". This is still under the premise of Director Qin's intention to film his scenes in advance. If not, he still doesn't know when he will be able to go back.
Because of the confidentiality agreement, he hardly played Weibo in the past month. He usually called Yan Mu when he was bored. So when he heard He Long mentioned Yan Mu, he realized that the main reason why he was eager to return to the capital was to miss Yan Mu. Instead of worrying about those two movies I invested in, or whatever.
"Xiao Lu did a good job in this filming scene," Director Qin walked up to pat Lu Chengyu on the shoulder with a smile, and personally delivered the red envelope to Lu Chengyu, "I heard that you are going back tonight, here I am. I can't walk away, I can't see you in person, let my assistant drive you to the airport later."
Lu Chengyu took the red envelope. This is the rule in the crew. If a dead person or a dead scene is played, the crew will give a red envelope to get rid of bad luck. After listening to Director Qin's words, he declined while thanking him. After seeing Director Qin's insistence, he agreed, "Then I will trouble Director Qin and your assistant. When you return to the capital, we will have a chance to have a drink together. "
"That's right," Director Qin laughed even more happily, reached out and patted Lu Chengyu's shoulder, and sighed again, "It's a pity that such a good seedling doesn't get involved in this circle." These days, although he He also scolded Lu Chengyu, but his evaluation of Lu Chengyu was very good in his heart.
It's a pity that I can be a person and act, and I can grasp the feeling better than many professional actors.
After talking to Director Qin, Lu Chengyu went to the dressing room to remove his makeup, washed off the stains on his face, and changed his military uniform. Lu Chengyu looked at himself in the mirror, and said to the makeup artist after a while, "Suddenly not wearing a military uniform is a little bit better. I'm not used to it, but fortunately I have made up my mind not to enter this circle, otherwise I will be in trouble if I can't get out of the characters in the play."
The makeup artist smiled and said, "If Mr. Lu enters the entertainment industry, he will definitely be a famous superstar."
"Forget it, I'm not suitable to eat this bowl of rice," Lu Chengyu stood up and tugged at his cut-to-size hair, "I have no regrets to be able to act in this movie."
Liu Qiyan, who came in from outside, heard the conversation between the two, sat down in front of the other vanity mirror, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu will also shine in other circles, it's a pity to stay in the entertainment industry."
Lu Chengyu smiled and glanced at Liu Qiyan: "Sister Yan looks at me too much." Although he suspected that Liu Qiyan helped him secretly in the last car accident, after the filming of "Qiankun", Liu Qiyan has never been close to him. , as if he was just a stranger. He didn't expect that Liu Qiyan would take the initiative to speak to him again today after he left.
Liu Qiyan smiled, picked up the eyebrow pencil to mend her eyebrows, and then said, "I heard that Mr. Lu is going back tonight." She put down the eyebrow pencil and looked at Lu Chengyu with a smile, "I wish you a smooth journey."
Lu Chengyu raised his brows and said with a smile, "Thank you." After he left the dressing room, his brows wrinkled slightly, how could such a smart woman like Liu Qiyan wish others a smooth journey before they get on the plane? For people who often fly by plane, there are a small number of people who are afraid of others saying that the journey is smooth, and Liu Qiyan can't be unaware of this.
After saying goodbye to other familiar people, I got into the car driven by the assistant director and rushed to the airport. He Long booked him a flight at 7:30 in the evening, and it was already 5:00 in the afternoon. He was worried that he would encounter traffic jams on the road and would not be able to get to the airport in time.
"Lu Chengyu is gone?" Zhang Fang listened to the discussion of the staff around him, and said to his agent, "It's different if there is a backstage, even the director takes care of him."
The agent looked around and made sure that no one heard Zhang Fang's words: "Don't say a few words, even Zhou Tianwang is polite to that person, he is not going to be in the entertainment industry, it will not be your competition opponent."
Zhang Fang fell silent. Sometimes people are so strange, knowing that the other party will not threaten him, but he just feels that the existence of the other party affects him. He knew in his heart that this was so-called jealousy, but he couldn't even explain why he would be jealous of someone who had nothing to do with him.
He looked up to see the helplessness on the manager's face, opened his mouth, and finally said, "I see."
