What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 21 Three Hours

The formal white shirt seems to be a thing that crosses identities and classes. Yang Shu still wore it when he was in high school. After all, he was a low-level scholar at that time.

He quickly washed and changed his clothes, and then stood at the entrance of the hotel a few minutes earlier to meet Liu Tao's nanny car.

The heat waves in front of him and the cool wind in the hotel behind alternately enveloped him, and some special feelings appeared in his heart, but he was too lazy to sum up like a young man like a fish drinking water and knowing how warm it is.

In the afternoon, many celebrities have already reported to the show. Many big names in "Legend of Miyue", including Fang Zhongxin, Huang Xuan, and Gao Yunxiang, have already arrived. Even Ma Su, who played a special role, arrived after three o'clock.

The filming plan of the movie is usually based on the schedule of the leading actors, adding and subtracting, and making arrangements as reasonable as possible.

There are too many people participating in the TV series, and the amount of filming is dozens of times. Usually, subtraction is done, and the largest group scene is filmed first, and then whoever finishes filming the scene first can leave first, so it is the most lively when it is turned on. .

"The Legend of Miyue" tells the ups and downs of Miyue, the first female politician in the Warring States Period known as the "Queen Dowager" in Chinese history, starring Sun Li.

Zheng Xiaolong's other masterpiece "The Legend of Zhen Huan" also starred in her, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the Queen's heroine.

Like Liu Tao, she is married with a son. Three years ago, she married the first brother who is a running man, and now she has two children.

Surprisingly, Sun Li just gave birth to her second daughter four months ago and is still breastfeeding. She has recovered enough to star in an 81-episode drama. According to Jiang Shiyu's evaluation, her physique is not ordinary.

Things in the film and television industry are really strange sometimes. She and Liu Tao are both top-notch actresses in the TV industry, arguably the two most popular actresses, but they are both mothers of two children, and they have to bring their children to work every time they film a movie.

Sun Li's family arrived an hour ago, and the crew arranged it very carefully to prevent anyone from taking pictures of her holding and carrying the baby.

The arrangement for Liu Tao was no exception. Yang Shu saw the tall and wide Mercedes-Benz black nanny car coming from a distance, stopped at the door and opened a small window. Liu Man showed half of his face and signaled to him: "Get in the car." .”

There were at least ten people sitting in the all-black luxuriously decorated car, and it looked quite spacious. Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu were very happy to see Yang Shu: "Sit down quickly, we are going to the underground garage."

Liu Tao was dressed in black casual clothes, which almost blended into the black sofa, and his face looked particularly white.

Yang Shu called out respectfully, "Sister Tao."

Liu Tao is not slack in private occasions, his makeup is exquisite, and he nodded with a smile: "Thank you for coming down to help."

"Should be."

"I've watched your new drama, it's done well, keep up the good work."

"Thank you sister Tao for your encouragement."

"Start the preview today?"

"Yes, it's on the shelves."

The car turned a few turns and went underground. Yangshu should come down to help, but it is not necessary. The hotel has a lot of service personnel, and there are already five or six people waiting at the door of the garage elevator.

The child is obedient and doesn't make trouble at all, but there is really a lot of luggage, there are more than a dozen large boxes by visual inspection.

Liu Man said that her sister is a very picky person, and she has to use her own things when staying in a hotel, and even brings pillows from home, otherwise she won't be able to sleep.

In addition to Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu, there are five accompanying female personnel, one is a makeup artist, two are assistants who specialize in taking care of children, and two are children's teachers. It is said that they are all masters in early childhood education. .

Liu Tao's two children are five years old and six years old. The older one was supposed to go to the first grade of elementary school today, and the younger one went to kindergarten. Now that they have to start work, they have no way to go to school, so they simply hired the best teachers.

However, the new teachers did not recommend that people like Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu, who are closely related to the children, participate in the daily management and education, so they made adjustments. The two of them will accompany Liu Tao to film and appear on the scene, and the responsibility of taking care of the children will be handed over to the other two assistants.

Yang Shu came down today to show his face, thanking Liu Tao for helping arrange the work, and left after carrying a suitcase to the suite on the ninth floor.

Liu Tao was very polite, his tone sounded like he was thanking the boy next door: "Thank you, Yang Shu."

It was Jiang Shiyu's first visit to Pinghu Film and Television City. After dinner, Yang Shu and Liu Man took her around and had a great time.

"It's just right to work with you guys in Film and Television City, this place is very interesting."

Looking at the brightly lit and noisy pavilions, she sighed sincerely.

There has been too much talk about "Lovers at the Table", the three of them made an appointment not to pay too much attention to it before the official broadcast, and quietly waited for the Mid-Autumn Festival awards in the next few days.

On the second day, the crew started to operate, and the actors began to make up and set their makeup and styles.

The working methods of the domestic film and television industry are different from those in Europe and the United States. For example, when a new film in Hollywood starts shooting, it is basically necessary to audition before the actors are selected. After the initial satisfaction, the makeup is set, and finally the role is confirmed and the contract is signed.

This is the basic rule. Even if you ask your grandpa to tell your grandma, the big names invited can’t skip this step. Many big names even take the initiative to ask for makeup auditions. If they are not satisfied with the image, they may refuse to accept it.

Not necessarily in China. Thousands of film and television dramas are filmed every year. Although there are many actors and few stars, it is a star seller’s market. Only a few top directors dare to let stars audition for makeup.

After all, the stars are too busy, Sun Li is okay, basically one play a year, most of the time at home with the baby.

Sister Tao is quite crazy. Last year, she took over seven dramas, and this year she has seven. She also recorded a music album at the beginning of the year. Five volumes including "Ode to Joy".

Not to mention the daily shooting of various advertisements and participation in endorsement activities. Don't look at the current people filming here, but Liu Man said that her sister is planning a sketch with Guo Donglin for next year's Spring Festival Gala.

So big stars are too busy to do it, don't even think about special auditions.

Yang Shu followed the photography team to start planning the shooting plan for the main scene. Because it is multi-camera shooting, the requirements of TV dramas are not as strict as those of movies, and they basically go through it without obvious flaws, so the preparation work is very important.

Just like the crew of "Nirvana in Fire" before, his flexibility and initiative were quickly reflected in his work. Although the main staff members in the filming crew were quite picky, they didn't find his fault.

The shooting started three days later, and the work was busy and orderly. Yang Shu only needed to do his duties such as metering and moving machines according to the requirements, which was actually quite easy.

He enjoyed it quite a bit, going to get off work and leaving work happily, and continuing to hang out with Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu after nightfall, which was indeed very pleasant.

There are Liu Tao's scenes every day, so Yang Shu and Liu Manjiang Shiyu often meet on the set, but at the beginning they kept their distance in the workplace and didn't talk to each other very much.

On the contrary, every time Liu Tao came to the scene, he would say hello when he saw Yang Shu: "Yang Shu!"

Yang Shu stopped what he was doing, and replied respectfully: "Hello, Sister Tao."

The colleagues in the photography team quickly understood: "You were introduced by Sister Tao?"

The major production crews often need to take care of favors and provide high-paying positions for some people to make ends meet. For example, Zhang Guoli’s son Zhang Mozuo was so dead that he couldn’t take on the show anymore. Feng Xiaogang gave him an assistant position. Help your friends keep an eye on it so that things don't get mixed up again.

Yang Shu with a low salary obviously doesn't belong to this type. When filming in the film and television city, he often meets former acquaintances to say hello, so it didn't take long for everyone to know that he used to be a trick here.

It’s really hard to say about interpersonal relationships. Colleagues who are usually hired, everyone gets along with each other and respects each other. If you know that it’s airborne from a big-name relationship, you can even look at it differently.

However, once I learned that Yang Shu was originally a role player here, but I met Liu Tao when I was filming, and my attitude quickly changed after I knew the truth. It seems that he climbed up from the sewer and mixed into the team, so there are more places where he is used as an extra. stand up.

"Little Baiyang, help me buy a pack of cigarettes, you know the roads of this place best."

"Little Baiyang, my back is sore today, you will carry these two bags for me later."

The nickname "Little Baiyang" was a joke on the day of registration. No one called it at first, but now everyone calls it casually.

Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu soon found out that everyone was making fun of Yang Shu, and they were a little angry: "Don't be polite to these people, and turn back all unreasonable demands. It's really inexplicable, and they started to bully you!"

In fact, Yang Shu didn't care, but comforted them: "It's human nature to be snobbish. If you feel aggrieved by this kind of thing, just use it as a driving force for improvement."

This is his true thought. Wang Xiaobo said: "All human suffering is essentially anger at one's own incompetence."

In other words, incompetent people can't make better arrangements for the future, so they have to worry about emotions.

Poplar will not suffer from these, some realities will only become more and more painful. People are either completely awake or completely chaotic. pain.

Seeing him say this, the two girls couldn't say anything more. Sometimes they came to help when they saw that he was too busy, so that Liu Tao wondered: "What's the matter with you two, is it my assistant or Yang Shu's?"

The photographer Xie Ze was also puzzled: "I said, little Baiyang, how did you run away with such a trick?"

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was September [-]th, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The production crew notified that work would be suspended at [-] pm tomorrow, and all crew members had a dinner for the festival in the evening.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu had habitually asked Yang Shu out for a walk, and the three of them walked slowly along the inner lake of the film and television city.

The wicker hangs so low that you can touch it with your hands.

Looking at the brightly lit and bustling pavilions, the three of them rarely spoke.

Jiang Shiyu sighed softly: "In three hours, our "Lovers at the Table" will be officially broadcast."
