Time goes back to a month ago.
After Cheng Xingfei formally signed the contract with the crew of Find You, not long after, she flew to Hengshi and immediately joined the crew.
It seems rushed, but in fact, before the filming started, Shen Yuxiu had been preparing for this for a full year. Before he finished his studies in the United States, he returned to China several times in a low-key manner, visited producers, investors, and leaders of various film and television companies, and after a lot of research, he built his own shooting team from scratch-of course, The help of nobles is indispensable along the way.
As soon as the most important heroine was finalized, all aspects of the crew immediately started to move. The money is in place, the people are in place, the costumes and props are in place, and the shooting will start soon.
The publicity steps of each crew are different, some are officially announced before joining the crew, and some happen to be the other way around. Finding your crew is the latter. According to Shen Yuxiu's plan, wait until the filming of the show is halfway through, and then slowly spread the publicity. There is no need to bombard it with drafts as soon as it comes up.
On the first day of filming, we should worship God as usual.
Cheng Xingfei got up early, and the entire crew was in a busy but orderly state. Miss P was in high spirits, and asked her assistant to order coffee in advance and distribute it to the crew.
There are so many people in the production team, and the assistant alone will definitely not be able to send it. Zhuo Yi saw it, took the initiative to take the incubator full of coffee, and sent it to various departments of the crew.
This time Cheng Xingfei came to film and brought three assistants with him. Except for the two female assistants who were in charge of personal chores, most of the heavy work was handed over to Zhuo Yi.
People in the crew were startled when they saw this big guy for the first time. Zhuo Yi was cold-tempered and often stared at people blankly, causing everyone to have a psychological shadow on him and walk around him.
But this also has an advantage - with Zhuo Yi around, there won't be so many unsightly people sticking to Cheng Xingfei's side.
After breakfast, the opening ceremony officially began.
The sky was drizzling, and Cheng Xingfei, the heroine, walked to the altar behind the director and several investors.
Shen Yuxiu was dressed very neatly, a tailor-made suit hugging the man's slender body, his slightly long hair was all combed back, revealing a smooth forehead and a pair of blue eyes. Ten years ago, he was still of stature, with an indistinguishable beauty, but now, his facial features only have a compelling handsomeness.
He has a solemn expression. He is the director of this drama, and he is one of the protagonists of this drama. The pressure on his shoulders can be imagined. He took joss sticks from the table and distributed them to those around him.
Cheng Xingfei took the joss stick, and when her eyes fell on the sacrificial table, she froze for a moment.
She has participated in many opening ceremonies, big and small. The opening ceremonies can be simple but solemn. Generally speaking, you find a big table, spread red cloth, put various sacrificial fruits and incense burners, and buy a special one if you are particular about it. Roast suckling pig.
But the sacrificial table in front of her, in addition to the usual offerings, also had an extra statue of a god--in the middle of the sacrificial table, there was a majestic Guan Erye. Qinglong Yanyue Saber, the eyes are not angry and majestic.
Seeing Cheng Xingfei's expression changed, Miss P at the side followed her gaze and landed on Erye Guan who was on the altar.
"You're looking at that god statue," Miss P said, "it's quite rare. I guess Director Shen learned from that one."
After joining the group, "Shen Yingdi" became "Shen Dao".
Cheng Xingfei repeated softly: "That one"
"It's Director Lin Guodong Lin." Sister P said casually, "He is Yuxiu's Bole, and the kindness of knowing you is more important than anything else. This is the first time for Yuxiu to be a director. Naturally, I have to ask Lin for advice. I heard that , Originally, Shen Yu wanted to invite Director Lin to be the producer, but was pushed by Director Lin."
Cheng Xingfei curled the corners of his mouth, but the smile didn't enter his heart.
When Cheng Xingfei was still young, he often followed his father to the set. Lin Guodong has his own rules of conduct in the crew, and every time he starts the machine to worship the sky, he must worship Guan Erye. Just now when she saw the god statue on the sacrificial table, she seemed to have returned to ten years ago in a trance, and the sound of that song sounded in her ears again. One accusation after another.
But soon, Cheng Xingfei regained his composure.
She looked up and saw vivid faces. This is not the crew of the past, and the person standing behind the monitor is not Lin Guodong; in the next few months, she will work with these people to create an interesting movie. work.
She believes that she can do it.
The smile on the girl's face gradually widened, and the confidence in her eyes shone like diamonds.
Just at this time, the original pattering rain stopped, the clouds were blown open a crack by the wind, and the sunlight poured down from the gap, gently falling on the land.
"Look, it's a rainbow," the director of the scene shouted, "This is a good sign that our show will go well."
Everyone followed the sound and looked up, and they saw a colorful bridge in the sky.
Cheng Xingfei didn't chase the rainbow, her eyes collided softly with Zhuo Yi who was standing outside the crowd, maybe it was her illusion, she seemed to see Zhuo Yi smiling at her
I found you and started successfully. Although Shen Yuxiu didn't make any publicity, the crew has never kept any secrets——within a week, various melon crews leaked the names of the actors who found you, the male lead Shen Yuxiu and the female lead Cheng Xingfei. Occupied everyone's attention.
Some people are optimistic: "I rely on this fairy CP. Before the two of them were on the starting line of actors, I felt that it was very good to fall in love and kill each other. The handsome men and beautiful women have a CP feeling."
Some people sang badly: "Shen Yuxiu's first film back in China is actually directed and acted by himself. What kind of ambition is it to choose a popular actress as the female lead? I will leave it here. The Douban score is definitely not more than 5 points."
At the same time, there were fan fights, one party said, "No appointment without official announcement, focus on yourself, and take away Xingfei's sister", and one party said, "Cheng Xingfei's acting skills are also worthy of my family's actor to carry shoes."
In short, there is a lot of excitement on the Internet.
The day after the cast list was released, Shen Yuxiu received a call from Lin Guodong.
"Mr. Lin, what guidance do you have?" Shen Yuxiu asked jokingly.
For him, Lin Guodong is his Bole, but also his teacher, and Shen Yuxiu respects him very much.
On the phone, Lin Guodong's voice was a little hoarse: "Why didn't I hear you mention it before, your film made Cheng Xingfei the female lead?"
Shen Yuxiu replied: "It was also decided not long ago. For the sake of confidentiality, no one notified. Teacher, please don't misunderstand."
"" Lin Guodong was silent for a while, and did not continue this topic.
The master and apprentice chatted about some shooting-related issues. Shen Yuxiu took some small films when he was studying abroad before, and he was more used to the set of procedures abroad; this time he returned to China to take the camera, and he was not used to the domestic working atmosphere. , In the first week of the war, fortunately, I gradually found the way.
Director Lin taught Shen Yuxiu some experience and tips - not only for filming, but also for driving - which Shen Yuxiu carefully remembered.
While chatting, Director Lin seemed to inadvertently ask: "How much is the lead actress of yours paid?"
Shen Yuxiu was taken aback for a moment, this topic was really beyond his expectation.
Why is Director Lin so concerned about Cheng Xingfei's salary? Could it be that he wants to cooperate with her
Just as Shen Yuxiu was about to answer, a memory suddenly popped up in his mind - he vaguely remembered ten years ago, when he was filming in Lin Guodong's crew, he had seen a little girl. The girl had two ponytails, and when they were filming, she sat obediently on the apple box and did her homework. When they were resting, she came over shyly and asked him about various things about acting.
Everyone in the crew knew that the girl was Director Lin's daughter.
The name "happens" to be the same as Cheng Xingfei. Only the surname is different.
Director Lin divorced in his early years, and with his status, no one would not open his eyes to ask her about his ex-wife and daughter.
Is it possible
Suddenly, a guess flooded into Shen Yuxiu's heart.
Shen Yuxiu's pause was very short, so short that the mentor on the other end of the phone didn't hear anything wrong.
"Mr. Lin, actors' remuneration is a personal matter. The confidentiality clause is written into the agreement, and actors cannot communicate with each other; even if I am the director, I can't disclose it." Shen Yuxiu's tone sounded so sincere, but if Director Lin If you can see his expression, you will find that his eyes are very cold.
"You really are," Director Lin said dissatisfiedly, "The actor's salary is not a big deal, and I'm not an outsider."
"It's really inconvenient." Shen Yuxiu directly refused, and continued to answer with that kind of tone like a good student, "Do you want Cheng Xingfei to take over your role? Why don't I give you the contact information of her manager? In terms of face, I believe her agent will give a reserve price."
"Heh." Director Lin let out a disdainful sarcasm from the depth of his throat, "I'll know if you don't tell me, but I can't afford to hire such a big star with a salary of 100 million."
""
100 million yuan
Don't think about it for a while, Shen Yu, how much money was spent to lure Cheng Xingfei to come here? No, it was signed.
like half a million
Shen Yuxiu didn't say a word to Cheng Xingfei on Director Lin's phone call.
On the one hand, he is still not 100% sure about the relationship between Cheng Xingfei and Director Lin; on the other hand, he hopes that Cheng Xingfei can concentrate on this movie and not let any external factors affect her performance.
As an actor who has been in the field of TV dramas all year round, Cheng Xingfei is not used to acting in movies. Fortunately, she has a high understanding and is willing to endure hardships. Under the guidance of Shen Yuxiu, she gradually found her own way of acting.
In the play they play a pair of mother and son, and Shen Yuxiu is eight years older than Cheng Xingfei. Every time he calls her "Mom", Cheng Xingfei will play, and the rest of the crew can't help laughing.
In addition, there is a tacit understanding between them.
The only thing that confuses Shen Yuxiu is that he often feels that the Cheng Xingfei in front of him is different from before.
The coquettish and noble aura that surrounded her had turned into another kind of gentle temperament.
The two personalities can't say which one is better and which one is worse, but——they are just different.
"—Okay, work is over for today"
After a scene was over, Shen Yuxiu went back to the monitor, watched it twice, and after confirming that there were no more problems, he announced the end of work.
His crew is known for its high efficiency and never procrastinates. The filming time will not exceed ten hours a day, giving all the cast and crew sufficient rest time.
After he announced the end of work, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, happily put away the photographic equipment, and prepared to go to the back to get a boxed lunch.
The boxed lunches of their production crew are quite good, Shen Yuxiu didn't ask his assistant to order them alone, and he ate the same boxed lunches with everyone every day, and Cheng Xingfei did the same. The two biggest leading actors are both so "people-friendly", and the other supporting actors are naturally embarrassed to be special.
After work, Cheng Xingfei asked his assistant to get a lunch box, and went back to the hotel to eat. It's a bit cold today, her male bodyguard followed her every step of the way, and put on a coat for her at the right time.
Shen Yuxiu looked at the backs of the two people who were gradually going away, the doubt in his eyes became more and more intense.
"Hey, Old Shen, what are you looking at?" Screenwriter Xu Kaiwen jumped out from nowhere and interrupted the gloomy Xio's contemplation.
Xu Kaiwen followed his gaze, and suddenly said "Oh~~", and said narrowly, "Yo, it turned out to be watching the heroine, so don't forget, that's your old mother"
"What nonsense?" Shen Yuxiu immediately clarified, "I saw her because I thought it was a bit strange."
"Strange what"
Shen Yuxiu and Xu Kaiwen have been roommates for many years and have a close relationship, so there is nothing to be confused about. So Shen Yuxiu described to him the first few times when he met Cheng Xingfei, her personality was completely different from now, which made him feel as if he was chatting with two different people.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Kaiwen heard this, he was quite disdainful, clewx.
"What's the matter? You are too sensitive." Xu Kaiwen shrugged, "Many actors are experiential, and whatever role they play, they have the shadow of that role in their lives. I also watched the Princess Huazhao played by Cheng Xingfei before." Well, that character is a noisy, fearless character. Maybe Cheng Xingfei has not been able to act for a long time. When you met her, she was still Princess Hua Zhao. Now that she has entered a new crew, it is natural to make the previous Letting go of my role, that’s why my personality changed drastically.”
What Xu Kaiwen said made sense, but Xio's sixth sense told him: the truth is not the case.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now." Shen Yuxiu changed the subject, "Didn't you say that you won't come to the set today, and you want to catch up on sleep in the hotel? Why did you suddenly come to me after the show?"
"Ancestor, it's not for you." Xu Kaiwen took out his mobile phone, "Look at how many calls I have on my mobile phone, all of which are from your agent. Can you bring your mobile phone with you when you are filming next time? If he can't get through to your number, just call looking for me"
When Shen Yuxiu was filming, in order to get rid of all influences, she never carried a mobile phone. As a result, Shi Ge, who was far away in Hwaseong, couldn't contact him, so he could only turn to harass the screenwriter.
Xu Kaiwen was disturbed in his lucid dream, feeling irritable, and made things clear in a few words: "Your agent said that the brand you endorsed is going to hold a jewelry design competition in Huaguo, divided into professional groups, cutting-edge Group. You are the spokesperson, and the brand said that it needs your cooperation and may need to take a few promotional photos. I don’t understand the specifics, so you can talk to your agent in detail when the time comes.”
Shen Yuxiu nodded and wrote it down.
They were going to continue talking, when a scene reporter walked over with some hesitation, holding a bound script in his hand, and the pages of the book had already been flipped.
Shen Yuxiu asked: "What's wrong?"
The scene reporter hurriedly replied: "Director Shen is like this. When we were cleaning up the set just now, we found Teacher Cheng's script in the dressing room. It is estimated that they left too hastily and left behind."
The problem is that in order to save money, the accommodation of the crew is completely separated. Directors and actors can live in decent hotels with stars, while other crew members can only live in cheap express hotels. Chang Ji picked up Cheng Xingfei's script, but couldn't deliver the script to Cheng Xingfei.
Shen Yuxiu nodded, and took the script: "It's okay, give it to me, I'll take it back to her later."
The thick script has been turned to the corners and turned up, Xu Kaiwen leaned over curiously, and urged: "Let me see, let me see"
For a good actor, her script will never be clean, it must be full of notes and experiences. As a screenwriter, Xu Kaiwen really wants to know how Cheng Xingfei, the heroine, thinks of the characters in his writing
Shen Yuxiu was also very curious about this question.
He casually flipped through this crude script, and when he saw it, the blank space of the script was densely filled with a lot of small words, all the heroine's lines were marked with a highlighter, and many stickers were pasted besides the first time.
Xu Kaiwen was very satisfied: "It seems that I really did not choose the wrong person. I was worried that a traffic star like her would not be able to study the characters well. After seeing these words, I am relieved, old Shen, you will indeed pick people. With this intention, This role should be hers.”
While he was chattering, Shen Yuxiu looked at those words and frowned more and more.
——At Elder Tian’s birthday banquet before, Wang Yike once asked "Cheng Xingfei" for an autograph. At that time, Shen Yuxiu was beside him, and he could clearly see the words "Cheng Xingfei".
At that time, "Cheng Xingfei" wrote in traditional characters, and the writing was sharp, horizontal and vertical; but now the script in his hand is soft, graceful and elegant.
This can't be explained by "entering the play" and "coming out of the play".
