The whole entertainment circle thinks I'm confused

Chapter 1076 Preparations for a new movie
Casting for "Farewell My Concubine" began in September last year.

Knowing that Xia Yu was going to reshoot a Chinese movie, the casting matter had already caused a big sensation in the Chinese film industry!
All agencies and acting studios are looking for opportunities, not just to qualify for an audition, but also to win roles.

But the actors who were finally invited by Xia Yu Studio were all acting talents in the industry.

Not only the protagonists and supporting roles, but also every character with lines are carefully selected - Xia Yu Studio is not coerced by any capital or "favor" at all.

If you want to bring favors, that's fine. The actor's own ability must be excellent. If it falls short, it means it falls far behind.

Moreover, all the invited actors are not allowed to spread any news to the outside world.

It’s not that Xia Yu Studio is arrogant, but it does not want any accident or public opinion storm to delay preparations.

The review of the script was finalized after many negotiations between Xia Yu Studio and relevant departments, without any deletions.

Also because it was Xia Yu's return to Chinese films, everyone was looking forward to it. The casting process alone took three months, and every audition was very solemn.

The director team has also been decided, Xia Yu, Wei Jingcheng, Dai Chengbi, Zhuang Ling!
Wei Jingcheng also only saw the script of "Farewell My Concubine" in September... He was also deeply shocked. Some metaphors, some details, and about human nature - all made him hold his breath!

After reading the script, Wei Jingcheng immediately decided to devote himself wholeheartedly to the preparations for this shooting, and he was willing to serve as assistant directors with Dai Chengbi!
After receiving Zhuang Ling's confirmation, Xia Yu raised his head and smiled:
"Then it seems... we can live a more relaxed and leisurely life this year?"

"Hmph!" Zhuang Ling snorted, curled his lips, and gloated: "That's not necessarily the case!"

Then he asked: "Do you have a specific time to join the group? How do you plan to arrange it?"

Originally scheduled to join the group on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the 26th, but Xia Yu was able to complete the editing on No. 15, a week earlier than expected, so the situation was completely different.

With Xia Yu's working status, it was very likely that she would join the team early, otherwise why would she ask more questions?
Furthermore, there are three other movies to be shot this year, so the schedule is tight and the tasks are heavy.

"I plan to have people join the group reading after the Spring Festival, and then take four days of annual leave halfway through!" Xia Yu continued to edit the film with his head down.

"Tsk!" Zhuang Ling said with a look on his face that I knew very well, "You work like this, aren't you afraid of sudden death?"

This girl in their family hasn't had a good rest in nearly five months. It was okay when she was on the set, and she got at least five hours of rest every day.

Now, the film has been completed, and I am even busier than when I was on the set. I only sleep two or three hours a day and live directly in the rest room of the studio.

If it weren't for Ms. Yong Xia, she, the "workaholic junior sister", would not have even left the studio before the editing was completed.

Xia Yu's face was expressionless, like an ice beauty: "What else can you do?"

"What else?!"

Zhuang Ling was dissatisfied, very dissatisfied. She listened twice in these few minutes and glanced at her:
"Do you think I can ignore you? Today is the dinner you made an appointment with Ms. Yong Xia. Are you too busy?"

"Senior sister?" Xia Yu suddenly changed his attitude and looked over with a bright face, which startled Zhuang Ling.

"Are you possessed by a ghost? Uncharacteristically!"

Zhuang Ling raised his chin and squinted:
"You're not going to tell me to let me push the dinner party, right? I'm telling you... you're dreaming, or you can push it yourself and don't throw the blame on my head. If this happens, your wife can eat me!"

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm leaving... It's now 03:30 in the afternoon, and dinner will be served at 07:30. You'd better arrive before seven o'clock!"

After that, Xia Yu ran away without waiting for anything to say.

There's nothing I can do about it, even though Xia Yu is usually very meticulous and steady.

But once the need arises, she has a way to act coquettishly - she can't hold it back and has no choice but to run away!

"Alas!" Xia Yu looked at Zhuang Ling's back with regret.

He glanced sideways at the time on the computer desktop. "Yeah, there are still three hours left! We should be there in half an hour, right? Forget it, let's go ahead an hour and a half - don't get stuck in the traffic jam."

He frowned again, "Oh, I forgot to ask Senior Sister to inform someone!"

I picked up my phone and found that the "Farewell My Concubine" group message had exploded, with 99+ messages.

It turned out that Zhuang Ling posted the message in the group:
["Farewell My Concubine" reading time is No. 16 in January!We will arrange personnel later and confirm the itinerary details with everyone. If you have other arrangements, please report them in advance. We look forward to cooperating with everyone! @everyone]
As early as the end of December, when "Pride and Prejudice" was wrapping up, all the crew members of "Farewell My Concubine" were fully signed.

During the reading period from January to February, relevant personnel must follow the crew's arrangements. Only when the actual filming begins, the actors will arrange different times according to different schedules.

Of course, the rules are not set in stone, it still depends on individual circumstances!

A series of "receipts" made Xia Yu couldn't help but curl her lips, set the alarm clock, and continue to devote herself to the editing work of "Pride and Prejudice"...

Yuan Bao on the side stretched, struggled twice, and finally opened his eyes.

When he saw Xia Yu working, he didn't bother her either. His expression was silly and cute, and he was so handsome!

The room was filled with heat and the temperature reached 25. The little guy still put his hands in his hands as usual and just stared at Xia Yu for more than ten minutes. He couldn't help but stared at her again!

Xia Yu returned to China for more than half a month, and not many people knew the news, so Xia Yu was able to stay quiet for more than half a month.

But with the entry of "Farewell My Concubine" into the group - now it's better, and everyone in the small circle knows that Xia Yu has returned to China.

Not only is he returning to China, he is also about to participate in the filming of a new movie!
Xia Yu didn't expect this. Within 10 minutes of being busy, several calls came in.

All are acquaintances.

Great Wall Film and Television top leaders Yao Yuanqian, Lin Fang, Guo Hongqing...

Xia Yu's work computer, personal mobile phone, WeChat...none of them escaped!
"..." Xia Yu looked at these phone calls and couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "These seniors... have made an appointment, right? They're bombing together!"

The priority must be Lin Fang, whether it is a personal relationship or a work relationship... But in the end, I still accepted Teacher Guo Hongqing.

One was unable to withstand Sister Hong's "talking about", and the other was that there were two roles in "Farewell My Concubine" this time, both of which were strongly recommended by Sister Hong, and both of them were unanimously approved by the audition team including Dai Chengbi and Wei Jingcheng. !
One is the theater owner, played by Sister Hong and his junior brother; the other is the role of Xiaodouzi Niang. Xia Yu was originally optimistic about Dou Shuang, but due to Sister Hong’s recommendation and the possible conflict with Dou Shuang’s schedule... he finally gave it to Guo Hongqing. Opportunity, the junior sister from the drama theater, is actually an acquaintance!
The most beautiful woman in ancient costume·He Qin!

Maybe Guo Hongqing will visit the set of "Farewell My Concubine" frequently during the filming period, and Xia Yu won't dare to be disrespectful!

What can be said?I just asked Xia Yu when he was free and wanted to have a meal together.

In the end, the two of them made a dinner date, during the study period or during the annual vacation, the details were not decided.

Lin Fang and Yao Yuanqian are about the same... Xia Yu also means the same thing, he may not be free, he is too busy this year!
The two of them were also trying to save the country. Anyway, they had to visit the manor, so they simply asked: "Should we go back to Huliang in the imperial capital for the Chinese New Year?"

Xia Yu: "Imperial Capital!"

"Okay, then I have to pay New Year's greetings to Director Zhuang anyway. Let's get together then?"

"..." If Mr. Zhuang knew this, he would glare at her.

Symbolic!

Xia Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only say: "That's okay!"

After making a few phone calls, I looked at the time and said, "Oh, it's [-]:[-]!"

Xia Yu could only pack up, put on a mask, a hat, get dressed, picked up Yuanbao and walked to the parking lot downstairs...
