Seeing the numbers on the contract, Lin Momo was a little dumbfounded.
Lin Momo blinked and rubbed her eyes, repeatedly confirming that she saw the '4' followed by four zeros, and that the number written in the brackets at the end was also 'wan' instead of 'qian'.
Lin Momo secretly reached out her hand and carefully pulled Lin Cheng's sleeve.
"dad."
"Um?"
"Is it 4,000?" Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng in a very, very quiet voice.
Lin Momo said this because other people were not able to hear it, but a few people from the film crew still judged what she said through Lin Momo's appearance and a little bit of her voice.
"4,000?" The head of the film production team was stunned, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How can it be 4,000 yuan?"
After a pause, the man continued, "We are a regular crew, not a black crew. How could we possibly cheat the actors' pay?"
No matter whether Lin Cheng is famous or a professional actor, as long as he meets the requirements of the crew and officially participates in "Reverse", they will give a suitable salary based on the role and the difficulty of shooting.
-is that so
Lin Momo was stunned, but the words "black crew" kept flashing in her mind.
…
In the live broadcast room, seeing Lin Momo's confused look, many viewers laughed:
Even though I felt a little sorry for my baby Momo, but... for her sake, I couldn't help but laugh.
Hahaha, when Momo secretly pointed the finger at her dad just now, I guessed that she wanted to say that 400 means 4000.
I feel like I was struggling internally when my pay just increased from 3,000 to 4,000.
Momo: I never expected it to be 40,000!
…
In the picture, Lin Cheng talked to someone from the film crew for a few more words, and then took Lin Momo by the hand and left for the temporary office and actor recruitment room.
They need to return to their current residence to pack their luggage and then bring it to the crew.
Because the recording of this week's program has reached the second half, the time for Lin Cheng and others to go back is very short. After that, Lin Cheng still has 3+1 episodes, about a month of program recording. Therefore, there is a lot of time for filming here, so it is very likely that we will have to stay up late to film.
Therefore, the father and daughter need to temporarily live in the crew.
On the way back, Lin Momo kept her head down, and it was unclear whether she was thinking about something or was just feeling depressed.
Lin Cheng raised his hand and rubbed the top of Lin Momo's head.
Lin Momo then looked up at Lin Cheng and asked the question that had been on her mind all the way: "Dad, when we were filming that drama earlier, did you want to have less sex?"
At this moment, Lin Momo's mind flashed back to the words "black crew" mentioned by the film crew...
Seeing Lin Momo's confused and annoyed expression, Lin Cheng couldn't help but smile.
Lin Cheng stopped, thought for a moment, touched Lin Momo's head again, and explained seriously: "The film "Where Are You?" we shot before is a public welfare film. The producer hopes that through such a public welfare film, everyone will pay attention to left-behind children and pay attention to environmental protection issues."
"You also hope that your friends can be well protected like Xu Duo, and live happily with your family, parents, right?"
"Yeah." Lin Momo nodded.
"So, no matter whether I get more or less pay for participating in the filming of that drama, it is all for charity."
Lin Momo nodded again: It seems that this is indeed the truth.
"Besides," after a pause, Lin Cheng said something that Lin Momo had always been thinking about: "2000 is enough to complete this week's task."
Sure enough, when Lin Momo heard Lin Cheng's words, her eyes lit up.
"That's right!" They have completed the task this week!
Thinking of this, Lin Momo's face was filled with smiles again, and she skipped and jumped with Lin Cheng back to their residence.
—
After returning to the room and packing their luggage, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo said goodbye to their neighbors and the landlord one by one, and arrived at the crew on time in the afternoon.
Unlike the actors' interview locations and temporary offices which were deserted, the entire "Reverse" shooting location was large, and the background, props, and even the costumes of the extras were all highly restored.
Many national-level actors can also be seen on the scene auditioning and rehearsing.
Seeing this scene, the live broadcast room was filled with comments:
Oh my god! The crew of "Reverse" has contracted an entire shooting area! At present, there are few dramas shooting in the film and television city. In order to save costs or save shooting time, many filming locations will be queued up and cross-rented by the crew. However, the posture of "Reverse" really seems to have contracted an entire filming location. There are even many buildings that the crew of "Reverse" built one-to-one according to historical documents in order to make the shooting more realistic.
"Retrograde" is a huge investment!
Because there are so many characters, there are rumors online that this drama will take at least a year to shoot.
Awesome…
The interview office was so low-end when I first met him. I thought it was a copycat of the "Reverse" crew. I didn't expect that all the money was spent on this.
And the cast is so strong!
Yes, in just a short while, I have seen 6 veteran artists and a young talent! These veteran actors are all paid very high, but there is no doubt that each of these actors is a treasure in the film and television industry.
It's perfect. I was originally worried that my heart would be hurt because I've watched too many dramas of this kind. But this drama has moved me even before it was filmed.
…
On the set, seeing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo walking in, the director came over to greet them. There seemed to be some excitement in his eyes, and it was unclear whether it was directed at Lin Cheng or Lin Momo.
"Come on! Let's talk in the back first." Director Liu led Lin Cheng and Lin Momo to the work area behind the shooting site with a smile on his face. He hurriedly asked the staff to take Lin Cheng and his friends' luggage to the crew to provide them with a room for temporary rest and accommodation, and gave Lin Cheng and his friends the crew passes that had been processed.
What Lin Momo didn't expect was that the crew actually prepared one for her: on it was written the name of the "Reverse" crew, Lin Momo's name, and a "b" letter.
There is also a photo of Lin Momo posted on it.
"Time is tight, and it's too troublesome to take photos, so our staff just randomly picked a screenshot from the Internet. They all mean the same thing, haha." Director Liu explained with a smile.
Looking at the photo on her pass, Lin Momo fell into deep thought: "..."
This one-inch photo was cut out from the historical playback of the live broadcast room of "Living with Dad" - it was the scene of Lin Momo and Lin Cheng running around various crews in the film and television city that day, and finally she was so tired that she fell asleep with her mouth half open and leaning on Lin Cheng.
With disheveled hair and sweat all over his head, he was carrying a bunch of water bottles, towels, and flyers on his back, huddled on a bench... He looked a bit like a beggar.
"Have you read the script I gave you this morning?" Director Liu asked Lin Cheng.
"Just take a quick look through it." Lin Cheng responded.
"Okay then," Liu nodded, and then said, "You've got to prepare for the parts you want to shoot. Come over first and I'll talk to you about the script, and then we can start shooting."
Director Liu's gesture of pulling Lin Cheng into the crew to start filming immediately caused a heated discussion in the live broadcast room:
What? We're going to film this now
Is it too hasty
Hahaha, yes, Director Liu seems to have this style when filming. He shoots whichever location is available first, and he shoots whichever scenes have actors ready first.
…
Here, Director Liu pulled Lin Cheng to start explaining the script.
- In the entire drama, 'Lin Annan' has a total of 9 scenes, 4 of which are scenes with other actors, and 5 are scenes shot by Lin Cheng alone.
Due to time constraints, Director Liu arranged to shoot one scene against another and two individual scenes in the next two days, and the rest of the time will be spent after the recording of the program "Living with Dad" is finished or on weekends.
After quickly going over the script with Lin Cheng, Director Liu glanced at the back of the set and said, "Okay, Teacher Zhou will also come to the set. You have a scene with him. You can try it out later to get a feel for it."
After saying that, Director Liu couldn't help but stare at Lin Cheng for a few more seconds.
-It was temporarily decided to shoot the 'Lin Annan' part first. In order to get a feel for it, he carefully read the historical information and character background of Lin Annan on the way to the set.
There are very few traces left by Lin Annan and the Lin family he met in history. We can only find some images and pictures of Lin Annan in the photos left by some reporters.
After comparing like this, Director Liu discovered that the Lin Cheng in front of him and Lin Annan in the photo seemed a bit similar in their eyebrows
"Is this why Teacher Zhou suggested Lin Cheng to play 'Lin Annan'?"
Director Liu muttered silently in his heart: If this is the case, then Teacher Zhou Haihua's eyesight is too sharp.
"Go put on makeup and change clothes first." Director Liu said. At this time, he was already looking forward to seeing Lin Cheng wearing Lin Annan's clothes.
—
On the other side, Lin Momo was temporarily entrusted by Lin Cheng to the care of the studio's stage manager.
The groundskeeper took Lin Momo to the rest area behind the field.
At this time, Zhou Haihua was also acting with a few younger actors in the rest area. When he saw Lin Momo, Zhou Haihua's eyes lit up.
Lin Momo subconsciously shrank her neck: the scene in the morning where Zhou Haihua scolded the two actors until they cried was still vivid in Lin Momo's mind. She was a little scared of this fierce old man.
Lin Momo looked around the rest area, and finally found the corner at the edge, which was also the seat farthest from Zhou Haihua, and sat down. She lowered her head, quietly trying not to disturb other people and trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
After saying "things didn't go as planned" and talking to the two young actors for a few more words, Zhou Haihua walked towards Lin Momo with a smile on his face.
"Momo is here."
"Here are some candies, would you like some, Momo?" After saying that, Zhou Haihua took out a few pieces of candies that he got from somewhere from the bag on his fishing vest and handed them to Lin Momo.
Lin Momo shook her head and said softly, "Thank you, I want to eat."
As if he didn't notice that Lin Momo was doing it herself, Zhou Haihua took out another electric fan and asked Lin Momo: "Are you feeling hot, Momo? Look, there is an electric fan here. It's a big-headed blue fat doll-shaped one. It's very cute. Come and use it to blow yourself."
Seeing Doraemon on the fan, Lin Momo: "…"
"This is Doraemon." Lin Momo corrected in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhou Haihua was stunned. He squinted his eyes and stared at the blue fat man on the fan for a long time.
—This electric fan was left there by some young man in the crew. Zhou Haihua took it and fixed it. As for the blue fat man above, he knew him.
Just look left and right, it has nothing to do with the cat.
"Okay, okay, Ping Pong Cat, Ping Pong Cat." Zhou Haihua nodded and continued to look at Lin Momo with a loving face, as if he was looking at his own precious great-granddaughter.
Watching this scene through the live broadcast screen, Mr. Lin was not happy. He pointed at the tablet and cursed: "What does this old man want to do?!"
"My own son is the eldest and has already started a family. He is enjoying the happiness of his whole life. Why is he still thinking about other people's babies?"
"How can this be possible!"
Mr. Lin was so angry that he stood up from the sofa.
This startled the butler Zhou who was standing by: "Old man, what are you doing..."
"Didn't you see that this old man scared our Momo?"
"Okay, we can go!" The old man looked like he was about to rush to the film and television city, which scared Butler Zhou for the first time.
…
At the scene, Zhou Haihua seemed to finally realize that Lin Momo seemed a little afraid of him, so he looked at himself.
Zhou Haihua was wearing the crew's costume at this time.
Because Zhou Haihua plays an underground intelligence worker in the play, who disguises himself as a beggar to pass intelligence for the organization, so at this time he is completely dressed like a beggar.
Zhou Haihua thought that it was his dress that scared Lin Momo, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment, then he gave Lin Momo a very loving and friendly smile.
Facing this smile, Lin Momo shuddered.
"Well, let's go find your dad."
"Grandpa, thank you." After saying that, Lin Momo ran away quickly.
Zhou Haihua was left with a look of surprise.
…
Lin Momo came to the dressing room and stood outside.
At this time, a staff member came over and saw Lin Momo standing outside the makeup area. Seeing the pass hanging around Lin Momo's neck, the staff member quickly guessed her identity.
"My friend, why are you standing here? Is there something wrong?" the staff asked softly.
"Come and find your dad, he's inside," Lin Momo pointed in the direction of the makeup area and said, then looked at the staff and asked, "Sister, can you come in?"
"You can go ahead, of course you can go ahead, go in." The staff said with a smile.
After saying "thank you", Lin Momo ran in and found Lin Cheng.
At this time, Lin Cheng had finished putting on makeup and changed into a gentleman's white suit. His hair was combed neatly with a few white hairs in the middle, and he wore a pair of glasses on his face.
He looks gentle but has the temperament of a businessman, and is arrogant at heart.
Lin Cheng's appearance in the live broadcast room once again caused the live broadcast room to explode:
Wow, Dad Lin is so handsome!
The last time Lin Cheng played the receptionist in that Republican drama, I thought he would look super handsome in a suit, and I was right!
Love love .
…
Not only the audience in the live broadcast room, but also the crew members' eyes lit up when they saw Lin Cheng.
"That's right, let's go first." Director Liu looked at Lin Cheng and nodded repeatedly.
Several people came to the shooting site.
At this time, Zhou Haihua also came here. When he saw Lin Momo, a smile immediately appeared on the old man's face.
Seeing this, Lin Momo subconsciously hid behind Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng patted Lin Momo's head, arranged for her to sit in the rest area nearby, and then prepared to start the audition.
Because the crew requested confidentiality, the subsequent live broadcast content was blurred by the program team.
Alas, what a pity that I didn’t see it.
I really want to see it, why don’t you let us see it!
I'm curious what to do...
Nervous and looking forward to Lin Cheng's performance.
I feel like Lin's father should be able to act well...
Gradually, the topic of discussion began to turn to gossip:
A while ago, a fan of a certain celebrity on the Internet criticized Lin Cheng, saying that Lin Cheng was using connections to get into the crew of the TV series "Moon Shasha", and I just laughed it off.
Yes, I saw it too. Some people also said that Lin Cheng is a third-rate singer who has never filmed an MV, so he is not suitable for acting.
The rhythm is too obvious.
"Reverse" is much better than that drama. Well, by the time Lin's father's promotional clip is released, it will directly slap those people in the face, hehe.
…
On the scene, the actors are in place.
Lin Cheng got on the prop car for filming, and Zhou Haihua also came and sat down on the street.
After entering the filming site, Zhou Haihua's state immediately changed. He was staring at the old man Lin Momo happily in the last second, but now he immediately put on a shriveled and numb look and leaned to the side of the street.
Whenever soldiers from the enemy country walked by, Zhou Haihua would purse his lips and secretly spit; whenever vehicles passed by, the old man would lazily back away.
Even though it was an audition, Zhou Haihua treated it with 100% attitude.
Zhou Haihua's appearance instantly brought everyone on the set and the extras into the era when the motherland was devastated and the people were living in misery.
A car stopped in front of the beggar. The beggar stepped back and snorted as if he was a little impatient. He turned over and continued to lie there.
At this time, a gentleman-looking man got out of the car.
The man put a dollar into the clay bowl in front of the beggar. Hearing the sound, the beggar's ears seemed to move, and he opened his eyes through the gap in the brim of his hat, with golden light shining in his eyes.
The next second, the beggar quickly grabbed the dollars in the bowl and hid them in his bag. He continued to sleep as if nothing had happened, just waving his hands as if to thank the man.
However, the man did not leave.
The man squatted in front of the beggar for a while. At this time, the man started to speak: "I came to visit my relatives and wanted to ask you if there is a Mr. Qu here."
"Mr. Qu? Mr. Qu is welcome to visit us more often. There are one, two, three white songs..." The beggar hummed a song.
"Mr. Qu is the fifth child..."
After the man finished speaking, a glimmer of light flashed in the beggar's cloudy eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.
The beggar was very cautious. Even after the man took out the letter, he still did not let go. He just led the man to another place...
Outside the court, watching Lin Cheng's performance, Director Liu touched his chin and nodded.
"Yes, it went quite smoothly." Director Liu said to the assistant director next to him.
Director Liu nodded in agreement.
Normally, if Mr. Zhou deliberately suppresses the performance, the actors acting opposite him will probably lose their composure.
I didn’t expect that Teacher Zhou would be so caring towards the young actors today.
Director Liu was secretly surprised.
—
On the other side, the Lin family.
Mr. Lin has already packed his clothes and luggage, ready to go to the film and television city.
Butler Zhou and Zhou Ming both tried to persuade them.
"Old man, it's too much trouble for you to go there. You should wait for the young master and Momo to come back."
"Okay, we have to go now. Have you arranged the itinerary for us?" asked Mr. Lin.
"I'm ready, but..." Zhou Ming thought for a moment, then said, "Young Master and his crew are on the set, so you guys can go in too."
"They're filming your grandpa, and they don't even let you go to see it?" The old man retorted, but it felt weird when he said this.
"Then go invest in them!"
"This drama probably lacks investment." Zhou Ming whispered.
"Then let's lend them the venue and the Lin Mansion in City N for them to use!"
