Chapter 12
The next day.

Jiang Liu woke up early before the sky in the east rose to white, and kicked Yan Liang awake while he was laying on the floor.

"The second photography team is going to Zhuozhou Film and Television City today. They won't be able to come back tonight. If you can't go, remember to ask for leave."

Yan Liang asked sleepily: "Where is Zhuozhou Film and Television City?"

"Baoding, Pier Town."

After telling him the address, Jiang Liu looked at Yan Liang's bed, the bed rolls on the floor of the room, and Zhao Wenhong and the four of them, who were sleeping with their arms stretched out. He shook his head and went to wash up.

The camera crew will take the rest of the cast and some extras to Zhuozhou Film and Television City to shoot side scenes. Jiang Liu is the director's assistant and has to arrange the actors and pack them into the car.

After washing up and leaving the room, Jiang Liu went down to the first floor and got a portion of steamed buns and soy milk.

All the crew members of "Sedan" have the same breakfast, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk.

Choose any two combinations of the three foods.

After biting the bun and going up to the third floor, the actors and actresses were already waiting in the props group to put on their armors. Those who had put on their armor first went to the styling room to do some simple makeup.

"Are you also going to Zhuozhou with the photography team?"

Han Li asked when she saw Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu joked: "If you don't go, you won't get the order from the general on the mountain."

Han Li was surprised and said, "No way. Yesterday, Director Dunn personally told me in the styling room that he would go to Zhuozhou to take care of me."

Jiang Liu's smile immediately dropped and he asked, "Who did Director Deng tell this? Director Wang Gang?"

"Yes, don't you just fall under his control?"

Jiang Liu knew something was wrong and Wang Gang was using small tricks.

If he hadn't gone to Zhuozhou today, what would Dunn have thought if he saw him?
A director needs to give repeated instructions to his assistant to do something?
The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an ant nest, and Wang Gang's little tricks only came in three or two times. Dunn, who had already had a bad impression of Jiang Liu, still had to tell Jiang Liu to get out?
Jiang Liu had some concerns in his mind and calmly went downstairs to quickly pack up the package and put it in the van.

At the same time, Wang Gang and the bus carrying dozens of extras also came back.

"Director Deng asked me to go to Zhuozhou with my group." Jiang Liu said straightforwardly.

Wang Gang's eyes flickered: "When?"

"I was in the styling room just now."

"Director Deng said, go ahead and don't make any mistakes."

Wang Gang threw his hands and walked upstairs. Jiang Liu sneered behind his back. When he saw the crew's second photographer Yan Yan, he immediately smiled and greeted him: "Brother Yan, I've been fooling around with you these past two days."

Yan Yan has no reputation, now and in the future. At least Jiang Liu has never heard of this person.

It means that he belongs strictly to the bottom of the film and television industry, with no connections and no prominent family background.

Jiang Liu likes to deal with such people. As long as he gives a little respect and benefits, the other party will easily burst into tears of gratitude.

Yan Yan winked and said humorously: "Liu'er, don't be joking. You have Shang Fang's sword in your hand. All members of the second photography team are under the command of Assistant Wei Jiang."

Jiang Liu laughed loudly and joked: "I will be outside, so I will not accept your fate."

A few days ago, Jiang Liu gave Yan Yan two pairs of Chinese flowers as an excuse to wish him well in his old age. Now it seems that the effect is obvious. The conversation between the two is as good as wearing a pair of trousers.

The sky is getting whiter and the crew's motorcade is about to set off.

Before leaving, Jiang Liu went back to the room and told Yan Liang that their trick to get into the group had been discovered by Wang Gang.

And Wang Gang has already started looking for trouble.

Jiang Liuqian warned Yan Liang not to take it lightly and let Zhao Wenhong and others leave the Four Seasons Hotel as soon as possible.

After the face-to-face explanation, Jiang Liu got into the van and drove to Baoding Wharf Town in Hebei Province along with a four-vehicle convoy consisting of three vans and one bus.The journey was boring, and Sayi, the only high-class actor in the team, complained that the snoring in Jiangliu's room was too abstract, and kept coming and going.

Jiang Liu was speechless. There were six people living in a room, but they couldn't keep coming and going.

Jiang Liu deliberately teased Sha Yi about whether he had listened to Nie Yuan's advice, but after thinking about it, he forgot about it. It is not a gentleman's behavior to rub salt into other people's wounds.

"Liu'er, it's time for you to start school."

"School starts at the end of the month." After answering Sha Yi, Jiang Liu pretended to be relaxed and said sternly to the co-pilot: "Brother Yan, whether I can graduate from Nanjing University of Arts in the summer depends on you."

Yan Yan said speechlessly: "Ah? Liu'er, please don't put a high hat on me. Does it have anything to do with me whether you can graduate?"

Jiang Liu said reluctantly: "It really does matter. The Director's Department asked us to make a graduation short film that will last no less than 15 minutes. Take a look, shouldn't I come to you?"

Yan Yan suddenly understood and said neatly: "This is easy to handle, I will be your photographer."

Sha Yi echoed proudly: "I will be an actor for you, and we will handle it for you this time and make sure you shine in the school."

After Sha Yi finished speaking, Wang Baoqiang and several other actors in the back row began to flatter him.

"Assistant Jiang, I will also be an actor for you."

"Yes, we will all be actors for you."

Jiang Liu was overjoyed, but showed no signs of it on his face. He even said reluctantly, "Thank you all in advance, but I feel that it is a bit unethical to use the crew's film and equipment to shoot my graduation project."

Yan Yan said indifferently: "Hey, how much film can you use for a ten-minute short film? Besides, which crew doesn't waste film? Everyone is tight-lipped and will say that there is a lot of film during the shooting."

Sha Yi smiled and helped: "In this case, Liu'er, you have to treat everyone to dinner."

Everyone in the car tried to persuade them. Jiang Liu took out the Chinese cigarettes in his bag and distributed them to everyone, while pretending to be relieved and said: "Well, brothers are not afraid of taking risks, so I won't be pretentious. Anyway, tonight I’m treating you to a treat, and everyone here won’t come home until they’re drunk.”

Everyone cheered loudly, and the atmosphere became more and more lively. They had no idea that everyone present had been deceived by Jiang Liu and fell into the trap of the Japanese.

Looking at Jiang Liu again, he was already thinking about actors with a smile.

His "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" was adapted from "One Man's Martial Arts".

Wang Baoqiang, one of the leading actors in "One Man's Martial Arts", is nearby.

But now Wang Baoqiang is too fair and tender, and his eyes are not fierce at all. Jiang Liu is a little hesitant about Wang Baoqiang playing Feng Yuxiu for free.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is meant to be used as a joke. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is true, but it has to be targeted.

Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a large-scale production, and Jiang Liu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Tiger" cannot compare in all aspects, but it must also meet certain character settings and the character fights must not be too rough.

Jiang Liu's attitude towards "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" is that it can be bad, and he doesn't pay attention to all the details, but he can still watch it if he bites the bullet.

Now Wang Baoqiang is not suitable to play the villain protagonist Feng Yuxiu, which makes Jiang Liu embarrassed. What makes Jiang Liu even more embarrassed is who to choose to play the male lead in "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger".

Sha Yi patted his chest and wanted to participate, but Jiang Liu didn't want to use it.

He was afraid that there would be trouble when the movie was released in the future.

This is false publicity and fraud, tricking famous actors into participating in movies for zero pay to enrich themselves.

Celebrities are different from amateurs. A celebrity's portrait rights and personal influence can be realized.

Moreover, the star's affairs are never decided by the individual star. Sha Yi can help Jiang Liu regardless of zero remuneration. The management company behind Sha Yi may not be so easy to talk to about capital.

So Jiang Liu thought over and over again and decided to abandon Sha Yi.

He himself acted as the protagonist of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger", playing the male lead Xia Houwu.
