China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 141 What a round peach! (Please subscribe!)
Chiba Shinichi's self-introduction was all in Japanese, and was then relayed by the translator beside him.

Except for a few frequently heard words, Lin Xuan didn't understand a word.

This is the disadvantage of working with actors who speak different languages. Communication between the two parties relies entirely on translation.

Suddenly I remembered the toilet seat drama "The Temptation of Going Home".

Hong Shixian is from mainland China, Lin Pinru is from Bangzi Country, and Ai Li is from Hong Kong.

One of the three leading actors speaks Mandarin, one speaks Korean, and one speaks Cantonese. None of them can understand each other.

It’s hard to imagine what the filming scene looked like.

Behind Chiba Shinichi is Bayan actress Jiang Zuping.

She was born in 78 and started modeling in her early days due to her sweet appearance.

He made his official debut in 97 and performed in many works in Wanwan, but his popularity in the mainland was almost zero.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Zuping. I play the role of Xiong Ba's daughter Youruo in the play. Please take care of me, thank you."

He has a cooing Bayan accent, which is very pleasant to listen to.

She has a sweet appearance, a beautiful figure, and most importantly, her skin is in good condition.

She once showed off makeup on a show, and the difference between her makeup and makeup is very small. She can be called the Bayan version of the makeup-free goddess.

In terms of appearance alone, she is second only to Jiang Qingqing in the drama.

Next is Hu Jun who plays Qin Shuang.

This guy has a burly figure, a loud voice, and every move he makes, he has the aura of a big brother. He is a representative of the tough guys in the Mainland.

Hu Jun was admitted to the People's Art School in 91 and worked hard in the drama field for seven or eight years.

Not to mention his script skills and acting skills, he later became a national first-class actor.

Behind him is Ren Quan, who plays Duan Lang. Actors in both places know him.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan side is because of Shangguan Fei in "Little Li's Flying Knife".

In the Mainland, it was of course because of "Young Bao Qingtian". Gongsun Ce's appearance was so handsome, and Ren Quan became an instant hit.

The actor who plays Kong Ci is named Wu Chenjun.

Hmm...no comment.

What surprised Lin Xuan the most was that the actor who played Jian Chen was actually Wang Jialin.

Although he didn't know what happened, he went round and round and ended up on the set of "The Wind and Cloud".

Reminds me of the scene where Duan Lang drugged Jian Chen.

Lin Xuan feels very strange, I am treating myself.

However, with his joining, the average appearance of the "Wind and Cloud" crew has improved a lot.

Lin Xuan, Peter Ho, Jiang Qingqing, Jiang Zuping, Da Taohong, Hu Jun, Ren Quan, Wang Jialin...

Even with Kong Ci as a drag, this drama is full of handsome men and beautiful women.

…………

The actor introduction meeting in the morning is over and everyone gets to know each other.

After lunch, we took a short break and started the script reading session.

In addition to revising the lines of the script during the reading meeting, the screenwriting team also needs to analyze all the scenes.

Based on the actors' performance and feedback, some scenes can be retained, while others need to be modified or deleted.

Towards evening, the reading meeting ended, and the director did not let everyone work overtime.

After all, today is the first day in the group, so we can’t make it too tiring.

It's better to leave some free time and let the actors exchange feelings.

After the meeting, Lin Xuan was preparing to leave.

Jiang Qingqing grabbed his clothes and asked in a low voice:
"Director Lin, do you want to ask the actors to go out for dinner together?"

There is an unwritten rule on the set that only the director or the leading actor or actress is qualified to hold a general party.

For other actors, you can't do it even if you have too much money to burn, it is an act that violates the rules.

Of course, it's okay for a few good friends to gather in private.

Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, let them move freely."

This group of people come from all over the world, some speak different languages, and they can't get along at all.

The big-ass crew was divided into countless small groups, so there was no need to hold any gatherings.

Seeing that he was unwilling, Jiang Qingqing stopped trying to persuade him.

When the actors saw Lin Xuan striding out of the conference room, they knew that the crew's big dinner could not be held.

Some people sighed and expressed regret, while others smiled and secretly rejoiced.

Since they had free time at night, the actors immediately gathered together in twos and threes to discuss where to go to play in the evening.

As soon as Lin Xuan went out, Ren Quan and Hu Jun chased after him.

"Let's go out for a drink tonight?"

The three of them belong to the same film and television company, and they belong to the Huayi Gang in the crew.

"Okay, I'll call my assistant."

For safety reasons, it is better to take the assistant with you when you go out, and the other two people are also prepared to take them with them.

Borrowing two cars from the crew, the group drove to the restaurant.

Lin Xuan chose the place to eat.

He spent the longest time in Hengdian, and he basically ate at all the restaurants on the street.

This restaurant is his favorite among all Chinese restaurants.

Because I went there so often, I became familiar with the boss.

Lin Xuan called in advance to reserve a large table, asked the boss to review the dishes, and finally ordered a box of Maotai.

A few people stayed in the restaurant for three or four hours, eating, drinking, bragging and chatting.

"Director Lin, let me toast you again. If there is a suitable role in the future, please take more care of me.

I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and I don't mind that the role is small, and it's also cheap. "

Hu Jun stood up, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"A good drinker! If there is a suitable role in the future, I will consider you first." Lin Xuan also joined him for a drink.

Although both of them are artists under Wang Jinhua, they rarely meet in the company because of their different paths.

Although we had chatted at several parties, we could only be regarded as casual acquaintances.

But after drinking enough wine today, the relationship between the two became quite familiar.

When I left the restaurant drunk, the sky outside was already as dark as ink.

…………

The next morning, the script reading continued.

With yesterday's foundation, today's reading will go more smoothly.The actors constantly discovered problems and loopholes while reading the script.

The screenwriter and director discussed and constantly solved the problem.

Lin Xuan also made many comments on the script.

This TV series is adapted from a comic book. If it is directly transplanted, it will definitely be acclimatized.

Just like the lines of this play.

From the perspective of an ordinary audience, many of the lines are extremely shameful and make people watch with their toes on the ground.

He didn't feel like a sane person who could speak out his words.

Lin Xuan was also blunt about this.

He hopes that the crew can correct these problems and make the show more complete as a whole.

The director team attaches great importance to Lin Xuan's ideas.

Because he is not only an actor, but also a very successful director and screenwriter.

The crew trusted him, and Lin Xuan didn't hide it.

After pointing out the flaws in the line, a more suitable line will be given.

So many systematic screenwriting classes are not in vain.

After his revision, the lines were smoother and more in line with the character's personality, without any sense of inconsistency.

These changes made the director team very excited and grateful.

It cost a lot of money to let Lin Xuan work two jobs, and both jobs were completed very well.

In the process of revising the script, Lin Xuan became more and more familiar with other actors.

Taking Jiang Qingqing as an example, both parties were a little unhappy when they first met.

But in the next few days, Jiang Qingqing was impressed by Lin Xuan's agility and erudition.

Especially when Lin Xuan discussed script issues with the director and screenwriter, he exuded confidence.

This not only made the crew and actors more convinced of him, but also made Jiang Qingqing feel a little excited.

A man is most attractive when he is focused on doing one thing...except for craft work.

The script reading will end in three days.

A more perfect script is officially released.

"Everyone has worked hard these past few days. I'll give you a half-day off in the afternoon to relax.

The makeup photos will be taken tomorrow. Don't be late. It's best to come early. "

Chief director Xu Jinliang announced that the afternoon was off, and the actors immediately started cheering.

After reading the script for several days, their eyes were filled with dense words.

It's time to see something good and change your mood.

The actors left in twos and threes.

Lin Xuan sat alone on a chair, wondering how to pass the time in the afternoon.

He declined Ren Quanhu Jun's invitation.

I've had enough wine these past few days, and it's time to try something else.

"Director Lin, where are you going to play this afternoon?"

When I was struggling, a gust of fragrant wind came.

Looking up, Jiang Qingqing came back and stood beside him.

"I don't know. Hengdian is too small and there is nothing interesting."

"Do you want to go to the movies?"

"Movie." Lin Xuan turned around and asked with a smile, "Do you want to date me?"

Jiang Qingqing laughed out loud, shook her head and said: "What a beautiful idea!

Just give thanks right then and there!Thank you, sir, for having plenty and not fussing with her! "

"A movie ticket only costs a few dollars, and your thank you gift is too light."

"And me too!"

Seeing Lin Xuan's eyes widening, Jiang Qingqing immediately changed her words:
"I mean, I'm going to the movies with you, so this is not a small thank you."

"It's almost there, let's go."

…………

The two went back to the room first, changed their clothes, put on hats, masks and sunglasses, and went out fully equipped.

Chen Wei drove them to the movie theater in the town.

After getting off the car, the two came to the electronic scrolling screen and discussed what movie they wanted to watch.

There are so few new movies in theaters these days that there is almost no choice.

The ticket seller saw this and proactively recommended: "You can watch "Charlie's Angels", a Hollywood blockbuster, very exciting."

"What do you think?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Okay, there's no other choice."

After saying that, Jiang Qingqing took out her wallet to buy a ticket.

The staff member took a hundred-dollar bill and looked at Lin Xuan with a strange expression.

I thought it was a boy who was paying, but it turned out to be a pretty boy.

Lin Xuan's expression was as usual and he ignored the other party's strange eyes.

There's nothing embarrassing about eating soft food based on one's ability.

Jiang Qingqing noticed the employee's misunderstanding and couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

He also played tricks on her and deliberately pretended to be a rich woman supporting a pretty boy.

"Do you want some popcorn?"

"What drink?"

"What flavor of milk tea do you want?"

"Hot or lukewarm?"

In 10 minutes, the movie is about to start.

Jiang Qingqing had satisfied her appetite for drama and walked in front humming a song contentedly, looking like a rich woman out on the street.

Lin Xuan was holding drinks and popcorn in his hands.

The male employees in the theater looked at her with envy and jealousy as they followed Jiang Qingqing into the theater.

He lowered his eyes and praised in his heart: What a round peach.
