I'm really a military art school grass, don't laugh!

Chapter 57 Dinner
The next afternoon in Hengdian, the sun was shining and the weather was fine, which was a good day for filming.

I have to say, don't look at Yingda, a director who usually doesn't show his mountains and dews, not to mention that few people born in the 00s or even the post-90s know him.

But his status and contacts in the film and television industry or the Beijing circle are very high, at least a few floors higher than a certain traffic Xiaohua who is known as the Beijing circle.

His great-grandfather Ying Lianzhi was a close friend of Liang Qichao, the one with the bare head in the junior high school Chinese textbook, and his father Ying Ruocheng was a well-known translator in China at that time, and also served as the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture in China.

As for the current wife that the British director found after their divorce from Song Dandan, her identity is also unusual.

Not only is she a famous talented girl in Peking University, but her two elder brothers are also well-known. One is Liang Zuo, the screenwriter of the most classic work "Thinking of the Tiger's Mouth" with Jiang Kun, and the other is Liang Tian, ​​an actor. The family is definitely quite well-known.

In general TV dramas and movies, if a capable director can invite one or two famous friends to be friends with him, that would be quite awesome and face-saving.

And Yingda's drama is at least one episode, such as Full Stop, Li Qi, Pan Changjiang, brother-in-law Liang Tian, ​​Na Wei, etc. have all been there.

It was already the time for the noon break, and the Hengdian people in different clothes in the studios were all busy with the morning's photography work.

Everywhere after handing over the money, there are group performers wearing ancient costumes such as passerby A, devil B, vampires, zombies and other costumes eating silently.

The noon break is only one or two hours, and for most Hengdian people, this time is not enough for them to go back to the rental house for a rest.

Basically, after filling the stomach quickly, find a warmer place to lie down and take a nap.

And in one of the film crews, our teacher Shen Yi has just finished filming the last scene in the morning.

Following director Yingda's "click, it's over", he finally let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the director's side, watching the clip just shot on the machine.

It stands to reason that as long as the director has said it, it will be fine, but as long as it is an actor who has requirements for his own acting skills, in fact, most of them will still watch it for themselves, and even ask for another one.

This is the professionalism of an actor, um... at least a good actor.

"How about Director Ying?"

"Not bad, teacher Shen Yi worked hard. Today's shooting was really good. You should sit and rest one after another. Don't worry about eating to save your stomach. There will be a meal later, let's go together."

"Dinner? With whom, Director Ying?" Shen Yi asked with some doubts.

"Two good friends were invited to play guest roles this afternoon. Tao Hong, you should know, right? The money is too vulgar. The National People's Congress can only invite people to have a meal when they come all the way."

Shen Yi was a little surprised and said: "Oh, let me go... Director Ying, you are talking about Tao Hong in "Bright Spring Pig Bajie"?"

"Of course, who else could it be except that Tao Hong." Yingda smiled and said.

Shen Yi said with emotion: "My good fellow, you have invited all these celebrities who have already half-retired from the circle, and your network in this circle is wide enough."

"Hey, it's just a coincidence this time. Last year, the comedy "People on the Journey" filmed by his husband Xu Zheng received a good response. Recently, he is preparing to shoot the second part. This time I came here because I have some things to prepare. Tao Hong is free and has nothing to do, so she stopped by to help."

"They are all seniors in the film and television industry. When I see you, I have to play well. It's up to you how you can behave."

Yingda smiled and patted Shen Yi's shoulder and said with satisfaction.

"Hey, thank you, Director Ying, I'm relying on your support this time." Shen Yi nodded and said sincerely.

"Hahaha, it's okay. It's your principle that you don't charge a penny when you're the leading actor, but I also have my own principles. I can't just let you work part-time for some benefits, right? That's not enough for me. .” Yingda waved his hand and smiled.

In a previous episode of Roundtable, the host Dou Wentao once asked why Wang Jing was not making comedies. One of the most important reasons was that there was no comedian on hand that satisfied me.

In Wang Jing's original words: You can make the best comedy films only if you have a comedian with the same ideas. "

Comedy directors are important, comedians are equally important, and both are indispensable.

Zhou Xingchi in his previous life was a top comedian and a top comedy director, so the "Kung Fu" he directed and acted in is the pinnacle of comedy films.

And as for the films he directed after using other comedians in the later period, except for one "Mermaid" which is not bad, the others are um... all of them are understood.

But can you say that the next few movies are poor in script or director?Not quite.

After all, many films such as "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" and many other films shot in the previous week were bad and ordinary based on the script and story alone.

Perhaps the gap is really just the lack of a comedian named Zhou Xingchi.

So this is one of the reasons why Yingda had to wait until Shen Yi to film "Underground Traffic Station".

There are certainly many good actors in the current entertainment industry, but good actors who have comedy attributes and understand comedy, at least besides Shen Yi, it is difficult to find a second one under the age of 30.

Relying on the particularity of the Hengdian area, not to mention the film and television related service industry, entertainment industry, star catering industry and hotel industry are all very developed.

Shen Yi and Yingda chatted for a while, and soon the staff had already arranged the crew's things.

After bidding farewell to the crowd, under the envious eyes of the actors, Shen Yi got into Yingda's car and drove towards a nearby high-standard restaurant.
