Chapter 98 Seven Women and One Man

Seven women and one man, eating hot pot.

Zhou Xun glanced at Wang Shu and asked, "Director Wang, do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to one?"

At this time, Zhou Xun had a boyfriend, her stylist Li Daqi.

Before that, Zhou Xun's ex-boyfriend was Li Yapeng.

When the two were filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Li Yapeng was so considerate to Zhou Xun that Zhou Xun couldn't resist, sparks flew and they got together.

At that time, Li Yapeng had a girlfriend, Qu Ying.

Qu Ying went to visit the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and found that Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun were acting ambiguously, so they broke up decisively.

When Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun were together, he was dragged by Na Yin to play mahjong and met Wang Fei, who was entangled with Nicholas Tse and Zhang Pozhi.

So, he sent hundreds of text messages every day to greet Wang Fei, took advantage of the situation, caught up with Wang Fei who was in love, and kicked Zhou Xun away.

Then Zhou Xun met Baodao's stylist Li Daqi under the introduction of Liu Ruoyin.

Under Li Daqi's pursuit, the two fell in love.

Zhou Xun asked this question to the essence, which instantly aroused the curiosity of the other six women.

For a moment, they all stopped eating the hot pot and looked at Wang Shu curiously.

Even Mei Ting, who was already married, looked at Wang Shu curiously.

However, she will be divorced next year.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Wang Shu could only tell the truth: "No."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Xun couldn't help being surprised. He couldn't help but widened his eyes and said, "Director Wang, you really don't have a girlfriend?"

"Really not." Wang Shu said.

Zhou Xun originally thought that a director like Wang Shen, who won an award in Berlin and made a movie with a box office of over 100 million, should have a girlfriend, so he asked casually.

Now that she heard Wang Shu righteously say no, it made her feel a little confused.

As for the others, after hearing this answer, they had different expressions, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Would you like me to introduce you to someone?" Zhou Xun asked after reorganizing his words.

"No need." Wang Shu refused directly.

"Director Wang, don't be too hasty to refuse. I know a lot of female artists. Why don't you tell me a few and let you pick?" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

Wang Shu gave Zhou Xun a roll of his eyes and said, "If I had known I wouldn't have come today, how about sleeping in the hotel?"

"Haha." Mei Ting and others couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this.

Zhou Xun curled his lips and glanced at Wang Shu, but then he didn't hesitate to ask further.

Next, Xu Huanhuan talked about "The Tuner".

Wang Shu listened silently on the side and found that all the seven women on the table had seen it, and all of them were talking fluently.

Yang Ruoxi curiously asked Wang Shu: "Director Wang, at the end of the movie, is the story the hero told his ex-girlfriend a lie?"

When Wang Shu saw the seventh girl looking over curiously, he stopped eating and said, "This question is whatever you think it is. I won't answer it."

This answer immediately aroused dissatisfaction and indignation among the seven women.

"Why is Director Wang like this?" Someone said with a little emotion.

"Director Wang, tell us the answer quickly." There was a request in someone's voice.

"Director Wang, we want to hear the answer." Someone was acting coquettishly.

"Director Wang, are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me, we won't let you go back to the hotel today." Someone pretended to threaten.

"Director Wang." Someone said.
  The girls were all chattering, and Wang Shu felt dizzy.

that's all…

Wang Shu ended the dinner in a fit of torture.

When he returned to the hotel, he regretted starting the filming of this TV series.

The next day.

Shooting continues.

From this day on, Wang Shu will focus on filming Mei Ting's scenes.

Because Mei Ting has a tight schedule and is in a hurry to film another TV series.

That is, "New Marriage Era".

According to the normal timeline, "New Marriage Era" would have started shooting later this month, because Mei Ting did not want to miss the role of Concubine Hua in the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which also made the start time of "New Marriage Era" Somewhat postponed.

Now, as long as Wang Shu moves Mei Ting's role in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" forward, "New Marriage Era" starts filming later, and moves Mei Ting's role back, he can make up the schedule.

"I'm sorry, Director Wang, for causing trouble to you."

The crew hadn't turned on the camera early in the morning, so Mei Ting kept apologizing after seeing Wang Shu.

"It's okay." Wang Shu smiled and reassured her not to take it to heart.

These days, there are a lot of actors in TV dramas, not to mention Mei Tiao, who is not considered a regular actor.

The real sense of filming is when an actor and the crew agree on a filming time, but then asks for leave to go to another crew to film during the agreed filming time.

When filming a certain film, the time he or she spends on the crew is the same as the time agreed upon by the crew. If he goes to another crew to film at other times, it is not considered a part of the film.

Because the filming time of a movie can be as long as a year. If an actor spends the whole year on this movie, not only will he not make much money, but his time will also be wasted.

For example, an actor's salary is 5000. She takes a movie and it takes a year to film. After one year of filming, the number of episodes that can be cut out to earn her a salary is only 10, which is a salary of 5. If you spend the whole year on this drama, you will not only spend a whole year, miss many opportunities, but also only earn 5 before tax.

Therefore, many TV drama actors are filming another drama while filming this drama.

There were even several crews running back and forth.

Seeing that Mei Ting was still apologizing, Wang Shu said helplessly: "It's really okay."

"Anyway, the place has been rented. It doesn't matter whether you take the photo first or someone else's."

Mei Ting was completely relieved when she saw that Wang Shu was so easy to talk to.

The director in front of me is not an ordinary TV drama director, but a director who won an award in Berlin and produced a movie with a box office of over 100 million.

She also thought about having the opportunity to continue to cooperate with Wang Shu in the future, but she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Wang Shu.

""New Marriage Era" is your husband's first TV series, right?" Wang Shu asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Mei Ting nodded, a smile appeared on her face, and said: "I made a movie before, and the response was good after it was released, and then I was invited to be the director of "New Marriage Era"."

"So your husband has also made movies?" Wang Shu pretended to be surprised. Of course he knew that Mei Ting's husband had made a movie called "Aspirin".

This movie was made possible because Mei Ting spent all her savings.

Mei Ting's husband, named Yan Po, is a returnee from overseas. The two met at a dinner organized by a friend.

Yan Po's artistic temperament attracted Mei Ting, and they got married after only three months of dating.

At that time, Mei Ting was already very popular, while Yan Po was completely unknown.

Then, in order to help Yan Po realize his ambition, Mei Ting helped him open a studio.

Not long after, Yan Po was unwilling to do so and told Mei Ting that he wanted to be a director.

Mei Ting then used her savings from many years of acting to support Yan Po, who created the movie "Aspirin".

After it was released, it received a lot of praise.

Then, he was invited to be the director of the drama "New Marriage Era".

"Haha, I've filmed it before. I'm still the producer of that movie." Seeing Wang Shu's surprised look, he knew that Wang Shu had never seen the movie "Aspirin", so he didn't elaborate on what movie it was. He laughed. Then answer the call.

"Producer?" Wang Shu pretended to be surprised, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."

The two chatted, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

While filming was taking place.

Wang Shu watched Mei Tiao's performance through the camera and nodded silently.

Well done.

A mature actor is indeed more comfortable using it than an actor who has just started in the industry.

Of course, a mature actor also knows how to carefully study the script before joining the cast.

Wang Shu could tell that Mei Ting had studied the script carefully.

In the blink of an eye, a morning passed.

That is, it's time to start dinner.

In 2006, the atmosphere of the crew remained unchanged.

Whether they are the leading actors, supporting actors, or extras, they all sit in one place and eat lunch.

There is no separate lounge, no nanny car for the group, and no small stove. There is only a place to eat and lunch boxes.

During the meal break, Jiang Xin approached Wang Shu and summoned up the courage to say, "Thank you, Director Wang, for choosing me to join the group."

"Huh?" Wang Shu looked at her doubtfully.

"Didn't Director Wang choose me to join the group?" Jiang Xin was a little confused when she saw Wang Shu's reaction, and she felt nervous for a moment.

"Haha." Wang Shu saw Jiang Xin's reaction and then asked, "Do you want to know why I chose you to join the group?"

"Ah? Director Wang, can you tell me?" Jiang Xin was a little flattered when she heard this.

Wang Shu smiled and said: "I have watched "Dragon" directed by Zhang, and Mu Wanqing's performance was good."

"Is that so?" Jiang Xin seemed to be enlightened upon hearing this.

Of course Wang Shu would not tell Jiang Xin that the real reason was not because he watched Zhang Beard's "Dragon Babu", but because
  "Otherwise?" Wang Shu shrugged, as if he could not be like this.

Jiang Xin blushed when she saw Wang Shu looking at her, then took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, I still have to thank Director Wang for his support."

"I didn't have a chance to say anything at the hot pot restaurant last night, so I didn't express my gratitude to Director Wang."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment and then continued, "I have a chance today. So, thank you Director Wang for giving me this role. I will work hard."

She is different from other actors who came to the cast of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". She was directly appointed by Wang Shu to join the cast.

In other words, she didn't even try out for the audition, but was directly approached by the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

This incident was undoubtedly a huge opportunity that hit her head directly.

Then I learned that she got the opportunity to star in the drama because of Wang Shu's wishes.

When she learned the news, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for several days.

In addition to being happy and excited, there is also curiosity...why did Wang Shu choose her?
  Being alone, I thought a lot and considered various possibilities.

Now that I got the answer from Wang Shu, I suddenly felt a little disappointed in my heart.
