I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 401: When gods fight, mortals suffer; there is always a mountain higher than another.
The crew answered truthfully: "Jinli will take a day off next Friday, and we will coordinate with the crew in advance to see if we can move her role.

I saw that the scene next Friday and the scene you filmed today are in the same location, and we just need to change the scene, so I thought about moving it here today."

After the stage manager finished speaking, he came to his senses.

Judging from Xu Ting's attitude, it doesn't look like she wants to move.

Sure enough, the next second, Xu Ting refused: "I have plans after filming, so I won't do an extra shoot. You can notify me earlier next time."

Because they had been prepared, the crew member looked fine. He looked down at the schedule in his hand and said, "Then let's move it to next Wednesday. It's the same scene. What do you think?"

Xu Ting said: "I have to check the schedule with my assistant and give you an answer when the time comes."

The staff put away the schedule and said, "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he took his lunch box and walked out of the canteen. He turned a corner at the door and went back to the back door of the canteen to ask his master for advice.

Director Chu's crew has 500 people, and more people will continue to come in and leave, so personnel scheduling has always been a problem.

But this is not unique to Director Chu's crew; it is a problem that exists in all drama crews.

Once the crew has more people, the pressure of daily arrangements and scheduling will be greater, so more stagehands will be arranged to convey the director's opinions to others at any time.

As for why not send private messages on your phone?
Oh, there are so many messages in the phone, and many people have blocked group messages, or have read them but not replied, so I have no idea whether he knows about them or not.

But it’s different if you notify someone in person. I have notified you properly, so if you forget, it’s your problem and you can’t make any excuses.

Moreover, people have two sides. When they encounter something on the Internet that requires help, they just play dumb and avoid it if possible.

But in the real world, if someone asks you for a favor in person, you will agree to it no matter how reluctant you are, out of a little bit of face and sense of morality.

So as a field worker, he prefers to communicate and deal with people face to face.

As long as you are not embarrassed, the only one who will be embarrassed is others.

But on the Internet, who knows whether the person you chat with every day is a man, a woman or a dog.

Director Chu arranged several stagehands for his play. He was the youngest among them, only in his twenties. He was specially brought in by a senior master who was also a stagehand to learn from him.

Because he was the youngest, the other staff members would teach him all the errands.

There is no way. Young people these days have no human rights. The elderly bully you because you are young and make you work more under the slogan of giving you more experience.

Others see that you are so young and unfamiliar with the person you are assigned, so they try to push it off or delay the tasks they assign to you.

As for these people in the crew, Shi Xiu really didn't dare to deal with them on the Internet. He could only talk to them face to face and explain things to them in person.

"Master, what do you think Xu Ting means? Is she going to fight with Jinli?"

Shi Xiu found the old clerk who was basking in the sun at the back door of the cafeteria and told him everything he had just said to Xu Ting.

The old stagehand opened his eyes slightly and asked, "Does she know what scene we are filming?"

Shi Xiu shook his head: "I didn't tell her what drama we were filming. I only said that the location was the same and that it was the drama we were going to film next Friday."

He hesitated and said, "Maybe Xu Ting is very dedicated and has a good memory. She remembered the schedule for next Friday?"

The old production manager rolled his eyes and said, "You think I'm a prodigy. I haven't even finished this week yet and you've already written down next week's filming schedule. Don't I need to use my brain and take a break?
Besides, Xu Ting is a first-tier star, and Jinli is also a first-tier star. Jinli has activities that cannot be postponed, and has to schedule scenes for filming in advance. Do you think Xu Ting is not popular and she doesn't have other additional notices?"

Shi Xiu smiled sheepishly: "Jinli has been more popular on the Internet recently, while Xu Ting is relatively silent, so I made a preconceived notion."

The old stagehand shook his head and reminded him: "The popularity of celebrities is fake. Now you see Jinli is on the hot search every day. Who knows what will happen next year, and what will happen the year after?

Today this star is a hot star, but tomorrow he disappears from the entertainment circle after a scandal breaks out. This kind of thing should not happen too often.

Don’t look at how popular a star is on the Internet, look at how he behaves on the set.”

Shi Xiu nodded and said, "I understand, Master. I will not take care of this matter anymore. I will wait for Xu Ting's assistant to contact me."

The old master shook his head: "No, you have to keep this in mind. You can see that Xu Ting and Jinli don't get along, how do you know if she will tell the assistant?

What if Jinli has to leave on Friday, and Xu Ting can't find time to reshoot this scene before then? Should Jinli still participate in this event? Who will be responsible for her loss? Will Xu Ting let you take the blame? "

Shi Xiu twitched his lips: "When gods fight, mortals suffer. I am just an ordinary field assistant. What should I do, Master?"

Before, he could just watch the show, but now after hearing what his master said, he was really anxious.

The old stagehand closed his eyes again and said calmly, "Don't worry, Xu Ting refused without even watching the extra scene, which is enough to show that she doesn't like Jinli.

If the scene is important and you can’t get her assistant in on Monday, contact her again. If she still doesn’t respond, ask the director to step in.”

Shi Xiu said helplessly: “But on the contrary, that scene is not important at all.

Jinli only plays a supporting role in the crew, and her role has always been very small. She only shoots one or two scenes a day, and those scenes can be shot in full in a short time of five minutes or a long time of half an hour. "

The old stagehand smiled and said: "It's not important, that's even better. Since it's an unimportant scene, we can shoot it early or late, or even work overtime.

This is not a big deal. It depends on what Xu Ting thinks. If you really can't grasp it, then go find the director.

It is still too difficult for you to influence Xu Ting to make a decision, but for the director, it is just a matter of words. Director Chu still has a strong control over the crew. "

He has been in the film crew for decades, and has been in both large and small crews.

I have seen that the director is the one in full control of the crew and has to take charge of everything. Even buying a lunch box every day requires his signature and approval.

But I have also seen directors who don’t act like directors, but instead act like odd jobs and servants, while stars act more like directors than they do and have the final say in the crew.

Some celebrities will bring the screenwriter along when they join the crew, for fear that the screenwriter will not change her role to be good enough!

The old stagehand said slowly, "Young man, you still have a long way to go. You should first gain experience in this crew."

Shi Xiu was relieved to see that his master didn't care at all, thinking that perhaps things were not as bad as he had imagined.

The master is knowledgeable and what he said is right.

It’s just a ten-minute scene. There’s no difference whether we shoot it early or late.

What the stagehands didn't know was that when Xu Ting returned to the hotel after a lunch break, she took out the script to see what play Jinli was going to perform next Friday.

After finishing the translation, Xu Ting was a little disappointed.

She thought it was some important scene, but it turned out to be just a verbal dispute between Ruan Ruanruan and the heroine Su Yuxuan.

If she shot quickly, it might be finished in ten minutes, which made her not even interested in dragging it out.

If it's an important scene, she doesn't mind making Jinli "nervous". The assistant saw her flipping through the script and asked curiously, "Sister Ting, what do you think of next week's scene? Do you want to adjust some time?"

It is now October, which is another busy marketing month for many celebrities. In these few months at the end of the year, everyone is working hard to achieve their KPIs.

She felt a little distressed when she saw Xu Ting turned down many important invitations in order to film Director Chu's drama.

If this wasn't a drama directed by Director Chu, Xu Ting would definitely not have accepted the role in October.

Xu Ting said, "It's not that I want to adjust the time, it's that Jinli asked for leave next Friday and wanted to move the scene forward. The crew came to me today and wanted to shoot today, but I refused."

The assistant frowned subconsciously.

People are like this. When they need help, they think others should help them, but when others need help, they feel that others are getting in the way.

But the assistant also knows that in the crew, it is normal to move some scenes forward, move some originally planned scenes back, add scenes in the middle, and change scenes on the spot...

The assistant asked, "Is the role important?"

Xu Ting shook her head: "It doesn't matter."

She said with little interest, "Tell the staff sometime that I'm free on Tuesday and ask them to move it to Tuesday."

She found this kind of low-level competition boring.

What she was worried about now was that Jinli had caught Chu Chenliang's eye and had more highlights in the play than her, which had sidelined her as the leading actress.

She had finally managed to get Director Chu's role, but she didn't mean to sacrifice herself for others!

But who would have thought that plans could not keep up with changes.

There was no need for the stagehands to ask again and again, nor did they need Jinli to intervene again and again. Before Xu Ting's assistant even contacted the stagehands, Director Chu had already moved the scenes for Jinli and Xu Ting on the spot!
On the crew, it is difficult to estimate the time it takes to shoot each scene because there is no way to ensure that every actor is in good condition.

All the actors were in good shape, and even the most difficult scenes could be finished within half an hour.

The actors are in poor condition and a simple scene can drag on for an hour.

Therefore, in the crew, it is impossible to get off work at a fixed time every day. If you finish shooting early, you will leave early, and if you finish shooting late, you will leave late.

The only thing the director can do is to remember to pay overtime pay during overtime hours.

Today, every actor was in very good condition, and after finishing the scheduled scenes, there was still half an hour left.

Director Chu waved his hand and moved the scene temporarily!
He called Xu Ting who was about to get off work and said, "It just so happens that you and Jinli are both here. There is still some time left. You can shoot one more scene, which is the scene scheduled for next Friday. Let's shoot it in advance."

Xu Ting was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "But Jinli had already finished filming, so she went back, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Jinli's crisp voice came: "Director, I'm here, were you calling me just now?"

She walked out with a smile on her face, holding a Level 53 exercise book in her hands.

Everyone then realized that after Jinli finished filming the first scene in the afternoon, she did not leave the crew, but stayed under a tree to do her homework.

She didn't do a live broadcast during this period, and the tree was located in a remote area, so many people didn't see her.

Director Chu said, "Yes, there is still time. You should shoot the scenes for next Friday first and change your clothes and do your makeup."

The two of them changed into modern clothes, which was convenient and quick.

The heroine played by Xu Ting has a cool and light makeup, which emphasizes her artistic and rational sense. Her makeup is always done quickly.

On the contrary, Jinli's rich and delicate girl makeup is a little troublesome, but Jinli has a good skin foundation, and the makeup artists like to make up for her, and they are not slow in applying powder.

After the makeup was done, there were still five minutes before the director said the shooting would start, so Jinli held the script and started reading.

The plot was very simple. She took a quick glance at it and thought it was not difficult. After thinking about it, she decided to practice some questions first to concentrate on her state.

On the other side, Bai Jiang, who had finished filming with Xu Ting, did not leave, but stayed in the crew to watch.

Bai Jiang also brought his assistant over. Bai Jiang whispered to him, "Why did the director move their scenes that were scheduled for next Friday to today?"

The assistant said: "Jinli's assistant chatted with me at noon, saying that because Jinli will participate in the rehearsal of Marchday's concert next Friday, Marchday invited her to be a guest, and will hold the first concert of the year in Shanghai on Saturday."

Bai Jiang raised his eyebrows: "They are the guests of Marchday's first concert. This group is super popular in the music circle and has been popular for several years!"

The assistant nodded frantically: "My sister asked me a few days ago if she could get tickets for March Day's concert. She couldn't get any tickets, even after asking scalpers. It's too popular."

Bai Jiang observed Xu Ting's expression again. Xu Ting came to the shooting scene with the script, waiting for the shooting.

He had worked with Xu Ting before and knew that she preferred to close her eyes and rest while waiting, or to be in a state of brewing thoughts, and rarely held the script in her hands.

As actors, they have memorized the script lines in advance and can remember them just by taking a glance at them.

So according to his observation, when Xu Ting holds the script in her hands and prepares, she is often in a rather irritable mood.

I was afraid that something might go wrong during the subsequent filming, so I had to read the script and force myself to get into the right state.

Bai Jiang's expression changed. Why was Xu Ting so irritable?
In the crew, it was very common for the director to change and add scenes on the spot. He thought Xu Ting was used to it. Could there be another hidden story?

He saw the assistant next to Xu Ting, gave his assistant a look, and whispered, "Ask Xu Ting's assistant. Xu Ting must have had some problems."

Not only Bai Jiang was curious, but Chen Qin was also curious about what was going on.

Jinli was doing homework, Chen Qin didn't dare to disturb her, so she also went to listen to the gossip.

The three stars' assistants sat together, and Xu Ting's assistant said sarcastically:

"Your celebrity is so arrogant. At noon, Sister Ting refused the arrangement of the stage manager because she had something to do today and wanted to leave early.

You just go directly to the director and let him make the arrangements. Then what's the point of having stagehands? Just let the director be the crew dispatcher in the future."

Chen Qin was a little dissatisfied at first, but why did this sound more and more sour the more she listened?
Her mood suddenly improved, and she said with a smile: "Don't push everything onto us stars, we are still waiting for the reply from the production staff, and we don't even know when the filming will be arranged.

Sister Jinli finished filming in the afternoon and was about to go back to the hotel, but the assistant director suddenly stopped her and told her not to rush back to the hotel and to stay in the crew for a while.

Sister Jinli then stayed here to do some exercises, but who knew that she was going to move to another show?
If your celebrity is dissatisfied, just vent it to the director. Our sister Jinli did nothing, she is just more valued by the director. "

Chen Qin has been working as an assistant for a year. She is used to seeing people who put down the powerful and flatter the weak in the entertainment industry, and she also understands the mentality of some assistants and celebrities.

When having an argument with someone, I know how to stab them in the back in the most painful way.
