China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

Led by Shen Teng and Ma Li, Fang Yu walked on the road. He felt as if he had traveled through time and space and came to a place full of the feeling of the old times.

Everything here seems to have come out of a black-and-white photograph from the last century, carrying a special sense of history and life.

There are some faded billboards on both sides of the street, with the paint peeling off, revealing a mottled background.

On some billboards, you can still recognize the words of some old brands, such as "Qingliangdan" and "Phoenix Bicycle", etc. These billboards seem to be telling the glory of the past.

There is an old cinema in the center of the county town. It looks very quaint on the outside. There is a rusty iron plate hanging on the outer wall with the words "People's Cinema" engraved on it.

There are some old-fashioned movie posters placed at the entrance of the cinema. The movie stars on the posters are wearing costumes unique to that era, revealing a nostalgic charm.

After walking a few steps, they arrived at the door of a KTV called Hong Romance.

The facade of this KTV looks very old, and the paint on the exterior wall has peeled off, revealing the bricks and stones inside.

There is a faded neon sign hanging at the door. Although it is rarely lit, you can still see its former glory.

There were a few yellowed posters on the door, and the images of the singers on them looked a little outdated.

When you walk into the KTV, the interior decoration looks very old. There are posters of popular songs from the last century on the walls, and the floor is made of old tiles, which are damaged in some places.

The sofa and coffee table in the box looked a bit worn out, but they were cleaned fairly well.

As Shen Teng led Fang Yu into the KTV, he explained, “Teacher Fang Yu, today’s scene will be filmed here.

You came so suddenly that we couldn't delay our filming, so we asked Ma Li to go and greet you alone. I hope you don't mind."

Fang Yu shook his head to show his understanding: "It's okay, I completely understand. The filming mission is important, and I don't want my arrival to affect everyone's progress."

"Ma Li, say something!" Shen Teng whispered and winked.

At this time, Ma Li and Fang Yu looked at each other.
The gaze between the two seemed to make the atmosphere even more subtle.

There was a hint of gentleness in Fang Yu's eyes, while there was a hint of shyness in Ma Li's eyes.

Their faces were a little red, and they felt a little embarrassed, as if they were embarrassed by the ambiguous atmosphere in the car before.

Shen Teng noticed Ma Li's abnormality, and he said strangely: "Ma Li, why don't you want to talk today? Normally you are the one who talks the most. Let me tell you, Teacher Fang is our investor! Cheer up! Why are you so confused?" He looked at Ma Li, as if looking for the answer.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mary's face, and she answered softly: "No, nothing, just a little tired, a little, a little carsick." There was a hint of unnaturalness in her voice, and she was obviously avoiding the real question.

Fang Yu also felt this subtle atmosphere. He cleared his throat and tried to break the awkwardness and change the subject: "The environment here is really interesting, exactly as described in the script."

Shen Teng shrugged and did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he began to introduce today's filming tasks: "Yes, the scene here is very consistent with the requirements of the script. Today's scenes are very important. I hope everyone can perform well."

Shen Teng pointed to a box and said, "Today's scenes will be filmed here."

Fang Yu looked around and nodded: "It's really good. This kind of place makes it easier to get into the role. It has that flavor. By the way, aren't there a few guest stars here today? Where are they?"

"Yes, she is resting over there. I am here to greet you and let the teachers have a rest."

"Oooo."

Fang Yu nodded, and just after he took a few steps, a team came towards him.

Looking up, I saw that among them were bodyguards wearing sunglasses, a driver wearing white gloves, a makeup artist, and several assistants.

"Why is the crew doing so much?" Fang Yu wondered.

Shen Teng on the side felt a little embarrassed to explain and turned his head away.

Fang Yu frowned, "Not from the crew? What's going on?"

"So, we just asked them to be guest stars, but the teachers asked us to bring our own teams," Ma Li explained.

"Oh!" Fang Yu finally understood.

In the entertainment industry, it is not uncommon for celebrities to bring a team of servants into the crew.

This phenomenon, to a certain extent, reflects the pampering and pursuit of luxurious life of some stars.

But this phenomenon is a heavy burden for the crew, and it can even be said to be a "money-sucking" behavior.

In order to satisfy their own tastes, some stars even bring three chefs into the crew.

These chefs are not only responsible for the stars' daily diet, but also have to prepare a variety of special dishes at any time to meet the stars' various needs.

It is not uncommon to have six nannies.

These nannies are responsible for the daily life of the stars, from cleaning the rooms to washing clothes, and even taking care of the stars' pets.

Drivers are on standby at all times to ensure that the stars have convenient travel, whether going to the set or out shopping, the drivers must be ready to go at any time.

Several makeup artists are ready to serve the stars at any time. From daily makeup to special looks, makeup artists need to be on call at all times to ensure that the star's image is flawless.

The most direct impact of celebrities bringing a team of servants into the production is that it increases the financial pressure on the crew.

From chefs and nannies to drivers and makeup artists, every team member needs the crew to pay the corresponding salary and living expenses.

This is undoubtedly a considerable expense for a crew with a limited budget.

The key point is that the assistants brought by the stars are much more expensive than the market price.

For example, the price of a makeup artist. If the market price and the price of a makeup artist are 350 yuan a day, then the price quoted by some celebrities' makeup artists can even be over a thousand yuan.

Not only are the salaries high, but these nannies and servants can also receive meal allowances and transportation expenses.

To round it off, when a star brings a team of his own mothers into the crew, during the filming, these assistants alone can cost the crew hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is an extreme amount of money.

"Make way! Make way! Teacher Li Yan needs to go out for some fresh air, make way!"

The two security guards in the front row walked towards Fang Yu, mentioning their master's name as they walked.

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment.
What the hell?
Li Yan?

Who is that?
Fang Yu cast an inquiring look at Shen Teng, and Shen Teng explained in a low voice, "He became famous for his role in White Deer Plain, and later walked the red carpet at Cannes for director Jia Zhangke's The Destined. "

"Oh!"

Fang Yu nodded and thought of such a person.

Speaking of Li Yan, the biggest impression people have of her is that she's a big shot.

When she was a freshman at Beijing Film Academy, she was selected by Wang Quanyan to play the leading role of Bai Ling in the movie "White Deer Plain".

Then, Wang Quanan did something big again.

At that time, Wang Quan was extremely anxious in order to choose an actress for the other female lead, Tian Xiao'e.

First, Tang Wei quit the role, then actress Fan refused to act, and then Wang Quanan set his sights on his future ex-wife, Zhang Yuqi, whom Deng Chao had not chosen.

Wang Quanan and Zhang Yuqi hooked up when they were in the crew. According to Zhang Yuqi's character, she was a strong woman who could get married to someone after knowing each other for only 70 days. So, Zhang Yuqi and Wang Quanan also hooked up, even though they were 21 years apart in age.

Zhang Yuqi was in the group as his girlfriend, and Li Yan was also the female lead. Wang Quanan had an idea of ​​how to choose between the two. So, when the film was finished, he deleted all of Li Yan's scenes. In the end, the original idea of ​​a two-female lead film became a one-man show for Zhang Yuqi.
After all this effort, Li Yan did not see his face on the big screen as he wished, but he had an unexpected surprise, which was a role in Jia Zhangke's "A Touch of Sin".

This day is destined to be the movie in which Wang Baoqiang and Jiang Wu play murderers.

Through this movie, Li Yan became famous. Later, she was invited to play Bai Ling in the TV series "White Deer Plain". However, because of her big-name attitude, she was reluctantly kicked out of the crew by the lead actor and artistic director Zhang Jiayi.
At that time, Li Yan had been in the White Deer Plain crew for more than 40 days, and Zhang Jiayi kicked her out even though her scenes needed to be reshot and she had worked for more than a month in vain. This shows how difficult it is to communicate with Li Yan.

Legend has it that she had a hot temper at the time. She would add more scenes whenever she wanted and act however she wanted. Not only was she late, she also liked to play missing.

If other actors said something to her, she would explode and threaten to go on strike.

This made Zhang Jiayi angry, and he was determined to kick her out and make her famous in the industry.

Later, when filming "The Bad Kids", Li Yan's impromptu performance of peeling an apple was considered very good by the director, who asked him to reshoot it from a different angle.

Then Li Wei started to act up again.

She insisted on finding the exact same apple as before.

Note that it is the same apple.
As a result, the props team had to go out to buy them in the middle of the night and were busy all night.

The director also felt helpless about this.

If it were just these two times it would be fine.

Later, she missed the premiere of "Lao Qiang" and did not participate in any activities. The producer then came out to complain, saying that this woman was often out of touch and had no artistic ethics.

Of course Li Yan denied it, saying that she had schedule conflicts and that this never happened and that she was very dedicated on the set.

Then the producer released the video of her throwing a tantrum on the set, which was a slap in the face.

Do you think it's over?
No, there are many more.

But Fang Yu was too lazy to think about it.

After realizing that the group of people in front of him who were shouting and yelling were brought by Li Wei, Fang Yu was still a little confused.

In “Charlotte’s Troubles”, where is such a character?

He frowned and looked at Shen Teng, "Who chose the role? They chose Li Yan? What role will she play?"

"She plays Qiu Ya! Don't mention it, it's too difficult to work with her! She has to take a break after just two days of filming!" Shen Teng is not the kind of person who would pamper others. If he could pamper others, he would not have implied him in front of Huang Lei in "A Longing for Life".

Even though Shen Teng is not famous now, his personality was developed early on, and he directly pointed out Li Yan's arrogant behavior.

"Okay, okay, she's Qiuya now, right?"

Fang Yu finally understood.

Because of his financial support, the crew of "Charlotte's Troubles" was not as poor as before, and the casting was also much bolder.

As the first post-90s actress to walk the red carpet at Cannes, Li Li has become very popular among the new generation of actresses in recent years, and her image and temperament fit the definition of a school beauty.

It's not surprising that the crew of "Charlotte's Troubles" chose her to play Qiuya.

Fang Yu, who figured out what was going on, raised the corner of his mouth.

Okay, okay, you like to act like a big shot, right?

It doesn't matter if you do it elsewhere, but why do you do it to me?

Just when three bodyguards who didn't recognize Fang Yu came up to him, mistaking him for a passerby and were about to push him away.
Fang Yu moved!

He quickly knocked down the three bodyguards, and asked one of them by the hand, "How much do you make a day?"

"What's the price? Let me go! Damn it! I'm going to knock your teeth out!"

"Okay, okay, it suits your image. You are arrogant enough. Follow your master."

Fang Yu didn't explain too much, and patted the other person on the face, "Remember my face, I'll tell you who I am. I'm the producer and the biggest investor. Do you understand?"

After hearing what Fang Yu said, these people finally reacted.

I rely on!

Isn't this Fang Yu! ?
The bodyguard on the ground was still thinking about explaining, but before he could open his mouth, Fang Yu said to Shen Teng: "Fire them all! No one will be spared!"

After dealing with a group of people who were shouting and yelling in the corridor, Fang Yu came to the door of a hall.

This is the largest private room in this KTV, but the filming does not take place here because Li Yan regards it as his own lounge.

At this time, the sound of a movie could be heard in the private room.

Fang Yu pushed the door open and saw Li Yan lying on the sofa, fiddling with her phone, with the movie "A Touch of Sin" in which she starred playing in the background.

It feels like I am appreciating my own "heroic appearance" in the movie here.

Fang Yu suddenly came in. Before Li Yan noticed who it was, she didn't even raise her head. She frowned and started to scold him, "Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to come in without knocking? Get out!"

"Okay, okay." Fang Yu really listened to Li Yan's words, pushed it out on his own initiative, then stood at the door and knocked gently.

The door of this KTV is not like an ordinary home door. This door is very heavy, mainly for sound insulation.

Li Yan was lying on the sofa with the background music turned up so loud that he couldn't hear a normal knock on the door.

Fang Yu knocked twice, and when there was no response, he just smiled.

He raised his foot, in front of Shen Teng and Ma Li's surprised eyes.
"Oh!"

He just kicked the door and sent him flying out!
This frightened Li Yan so much that he covered his ears and cursed, "Are you sick?"

Because the lights were off in the private room, Fang Yu's face could not be seen standing at the door.

Faintly, Li Yan saw Shen Teng standing behind the door, so Li Yan frowned, "Are you sick? Asking people to tear down my door? Isn't it just a two-day break? I won't act anymore!"

When Li Yan heard what he said, a strong and powerful voice of confirmation suddenly echoed in the hall!
"it is good!"

"Great!"

"Do you dare say that again!?"

Li Yan was not one to give in. "What's wrong? I just don't want to act anymore! No matter who comes, it won't work!"

"That's what I've been waiting for you to say. I've already recorded it! You don't have to pay the penalty. You just need to pay the KTV owner a door later. Hehehe!"

Only then did Li Yan look carefully at the person coming to the door.

When she saw that the person coming was Fang Yu, her heart skipped a beat!
broken!
