Actor: Thank you.

"Hey, you big star Zhang, why did you think of contacting me?"

Yang Mi's pretentiously sweet and coquettish voice came from the phone.

"Where are you?" Zhang Yuan leaned against the wall and asked softly.

At this time, Yang Mi was working hard on the set of Xingyunda.

Now it is less than a month away from winter vacation.

It is the time for Beijing Film Academy to prepare for the year-end exams and performances.

Although she is young and is only a sophomore this year, she is already working very hard.

I shoot during the day and have to go back to school to rehearse with my classmates at night.

After rehearsal, I still have to study under the desk lamp to prepare for the exams.

Your classmates will also have complaints if you are often absent during the day.

This guy is quite decent and even invited his classmates to dinner to build relationships.

Anyway, I'm so busy that I don't have a moment to rest all day.

"I'm on the set."

"What drama?"

"'The Door', a movie directed by Teacher Shaohong, and her husband was the cinematographer." Yang Mi said proudly.

The casting of "Dream of Red Mansions" was pushed back a lot.

But this time, Rong Xingda's boss was making a movie himself and asked her to star in it.

This made her feel a lot better.

The gas in my stomach also dissipated by 70%.

It means that the chest becomes larger and does not shrink.

This movie is adapted from a novel, and the original work is quite good.

But after being adapted into a movie... I can only say that Li Shaohong's ability is still quite limited.

She looks very much like her master's son, the poet Chen.

They can only produce specific types of works and need the assistance of experts.

"I am the leading female role, Chen Kun is the leading male role, and there are also Brother Huang Jue and Lin Yusheng." Yang Mi introduced in detail.

This group of people are the backbone of Hong Kong Entertainment today, and bringing her in to star in a film shows that the company still values ​​her very much.

She said this to express that I am also very good!

"Well, it's good to be able to act in a movie."

Although the film did not receive good reviews or box office... Zhang Yuan didn't care.

"You said before that you only played a small role in the company's Dream of Red Mansions, right?"

This was the main reason why he called.

After learning about the terrible things behind the film from Zhang Di last night, I felt a little worried.

"It's not big enough." Yang Mi pouted.

"I heard some rumors outside that the actors in this film are very close to the sponsor."

"Ah, you know that too?"

How could Yang Mi, such a smart person, not have heard of it?

Besides, her current agent has been replaced by Zhou Xun’s previous agent, Zeng Jia, Li Xiaowan’s apprentice.

He is Rong Xingda's direct descendant, so he is naturally well-informed.

"Of course, I just heard it roughly."

"You...didn't go?"

"I've been busy filming and going to school, so I don't have time to go." Yang Mi replied.

Zhang Yuan felt much more at ease after hearing this.

Oh, you’re busy?

If you want to be free, you will find time no matter what.

Li Shaohong asks you to be free, will you be busy?

It seems that this old woman still has some bottom line.

Although he is quite snobbish, he still has some protective elements in him.

Only the role of Qingwen was assigned to Yang Mi.

But it also kept her away from the gossips of the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew.

In a sense, it may be considered a kind of "protection".

After all, I knew Li Xiaowan when I was 6 years old, and came to Rong Xingda when I was 15 or 6, so I can say that I watched her grow up.

Didn't use her to fill the fire pit.

"It's okay if you don't have time. You should stay out of this matter." Zhang Yuan said with concern.

"Oh, are you concerned about me?"

"Are you worried that I'll be bullied?" Yang Mi asked slyly.

"Yes, I'm a little worried about you." Zhang Yuan answered honestly.

"you……"

She couldn't hit Zhang Yuan's straight ball.

After all, the boys of the same age around me are all pretentious and arrogant.

Not only do many people fail to express themselves sincerely, they also try to act badly and pretend to be cool.

Zhang Yuan's honest answer made her cheeks slightly red.

"The water in this film is quite complicated, so take care of yourself," he added.

Other films are at most so deep that they make you bump your knees.

This version of "Dream of Red Mansions" is so deep that it reaches the chin.

Those with weak constitutions can easily drown in it.

"I know. Do you have time? I'll treat you to a meal." Yang Mi rolled his eyes and quickly answered the call.

She has been filming with Chen Kun every day recently.

But I have often heard Brother Kun complain about Zhang Yuan being dishonest.

They have a good personal relationship, so Kunkun just complained and didn't curse.

Yang Mi's ears were callused from listening so much.

The endorsement was snatched away, and it wasn’t just a small endorsement, and it happened more than once!
Everyone would feel resentful.

After Yang Mi found out, he did not immediately stand with Brother Kun to criticize Zhang Yuan just because he was a senior in the same company.

She was smart enough not to say anything.

I was thinking about it in my heart.

"Being able to snatch Brother Kun's endorsement means that Zhang Yuan is better than Brother Kun!"

"Even the No. 1 guy at Xingyunda can't beat him, which means his potential must be much greater than the company's."

In terms of intelligence alone, Yang Mi cannot compare to Shu Chang.

But when it comes to intelligence, this person can be considered at the forefront among the younger generation in the entire entertainment industry.

Her intelligence is the kind that is very suitable for the entertainment industry.

Therefore, even though Rong Xinda gave her the role of a female lead in a movie with not too many parts this time, Yang Mi still had no intention of being grateful or devoted to him.

Still planning his own "back road".

Nowadays, Zhang Yuan has become one of her key focus objects.

"I'm also filming, not in the capital."

"Oh." Yang Mi was a little unhappy. Every time he took the initiative, the other party would refuse.

Make her feel that she is not important in the other person's heart.

"How about this, when I return to the capital, I will pick you up from school."

"Don't treat me, I'll treat you."

"Just decide what you like to eat, and don't save money for me."

"Okay!" Hearing him say that, Yang Mile narrowed his eyes happily.

"Oh, and today is New Year's Eve, Happy New Year." Zhang Yuan thought that it was not easy for her, so he said gently.

"Hey, Happy New Year!"

After hanging up, Yang Mi held the phone and laughed for a long time.

"What are you so happy about?" The agent just happened to come over.

In contrast to her, Zeng Jia looked worried.

“No, nothing…Sister Zeng Jia, what’s wrong with you? Are you unhappy?”

"Oh..." Zeng Jia sighed, looking as if he didn't know where to start.

"No more talking."

Obviously unwilling to say.

But Yang Mi pricked up his ears and heard her mumbling something...

"Once a teacher, always a father, that sort of thing, it's all outdated..."

"And you said I was not honest..."

"Why do you get to eat meat while others can only drink soup..."

Yang Mi was very smart. He rolled his eyes and guessed after a quick thought that his agent must have a conflict with Li Xiaowan.

"Oh, I see." She suddenly thought.

Zeng Jia's contract with Rong Xingda will expire at the end of next year.

It should be that she had a disagreement with Li Xiaowan, who brought her to the debut, on the issue of contract renewal.

This is so common that we are no longer surprised.

The apprentice has grown up and his appetite has also grown.

The master always treats his apprentices as children, or deliberately pretends to treat them as children and exploits their value.

"The way out..." Yang Mi looked up and thought, calculating in his mind.

"It's my honor..." At the same time, Zhang Yuan was also thinking about it.

“This is a great place to poach people.”

While thinking about how to start, Uncle Benshan was working on the other side.

The scene we filmed today was a very special one.

The play I took over was directed by Teacher Xia Yu.

After saying goodbye to the cyclist, Lao Zhao, who was pulling the cart, had a traffic accident while going downhill.

The car broke into pieces and the people fell down.

I happened to see a tractor not far away that fell into a ditch and was scrapped.

He then took the other party's discarded tire, tied the body inside the tire, and planned to roll the tire forward.

"Beep beep..."

On the two-lane winding mountain road, Uncle Benshan was pushing an oversized tire, imitating the sound of a trumpet in a humorous way.

It’s okay on flat ground, but going uphill is difficult and going downhill is dangerous.

Each person and his fetus started to compete with each other.

Zhang Yuan watched and smiled.

There are almost no lines in this entire scene.

It feels like a silent film, with the characters being portrayed entirely through body language.

Coupled with the exaggerated actions and dramatic content, Zhang Yuan even saw a hint of Charlie Chaplin.

A bit like Mr. Bean.

It turns out that the performances of comedy masters are all similar.

But behind this master-level performance, it is not the efforts of the "master" alone that can be achieved.

In addition to the director, cameraman and other crew members.

The hardest-working person in this film, even harder than Zhao Benshan who rushed to work before the New Year, dressed up in a mess all day, and got up early and went to bed late, is the guy who plays the corpse.

On the set, even the director and Teacher Zhao would often forget the character's name.

People usually call him "Dead Brother".

In fact, this character is called Lao Liu, which corresponds to Uncle Benshan’s Lao Zhao.

The two characters that appear most frequently in the film do not have full names.

Zhang Yuan thought that this must be intentional by the director.

The protagonist is deliberately called by two code names and nicknames in order to generalize the image of the protagonist.

Their stories are special, but their beliefs and spirit are not actually special.

Those who are honest and trustworthy and have the obsession of returning to their roots are far more than just the protagonists in the film, but exist in every corner of the Chinese mainland.

The actor who plays Lao Liu is called Hong Qiwen, and he is not a professional actor.

Actually, Zhao Benshan is not a professional film and television actor.

The two most important roles in this film were played by "outsiders".

It is another very strange, but very essential thing.

The dead brother was originally a bus driver in Hengdian, the kind that specialized in picking up people on film sets.

No one knows why, and maybe the director couldn’t explain it either, but he fell in love with this person at first sight.

When he learned that he would be able to act with Zhao Benshan, he was extremely honored after spending so much time with him.

Zhao Benshan is an idol-level figure, but he has to carry a humble driver on his back for more than 70% of the time in the film.

Therefore, my brother worked very hard.

Ordinary people think, it’s just playing a corpse, I can do it!
Just pour it there and keep silent. You can get paid every day. It's really cool.

Not really!

The director's demands are very high.

In order to act out the stiffness of a corpse, he had to keep his body tense all the time.

Especially your legs, they must be kept straight at all times.

At the end of the day, he is no more relaxed than Teacher Zhao.

In the first two weeks, my legs were so tense that I had cramps almost every day.

"vomit!"

At this time, the dead man was digging into the grass by the roadside and vomiting loudly.

His body collapsed to the ground, and he needed the help of the assistant director to get up weakly.

"It's okay, I'm fine, keep shooting."

The reason for all this is the "real shot" just now.

In the setting, Lao Zhao ties the corpse to a tire and rolls it forward.

During the filming, this guy did it himself, without using a stand-in!

As the tires rolled back and forth dozens or hundreds of times.

Not to mention meat, even iron can’t stand it!

Even so, he was afraid of delaying the filming and forced himself to stand up.

The people are not professional, but the spirit is very professional.

"Come on, don't move." Zhang Yuan hadn't performed massage techniques for a while. Seeing him like this, he stepped forward and took action.

"No need, you're a star, how can you press it for me..." the brother evaded.

"We are all actors in the crew, and we are all equal."

Not minding that the man was covered in dirt, he pressed several major acupoints on his temples and back.

"Oh, have you learned this?" Soon, the brother felt a lot more comfortable.

"I guess so. It's quite professional."

"Yes, yes, that's great. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky as to have a big star press my massage for me." The brother said in a rough voice with an accent.

"Big stars carry you on their backs every day. This kind of treatment is not uncommon."

“Hehehe…” The old man smiled foolishly.

[Received thanks from Hong Qiwen, driving skills +1, large vehicle driving basics +1! ]

"Boy, you're pretty good."

Just as he was joking with his brother, a very familiar clear voice sounded behind him.

"Hello, Teacher Dandan." Zhang Yuan turned around and followed the extremely familiar voice and saw an extremely familiar face.

After teacher Gao Xiumin passed away and left the circle, Zhao Benshan's only golden partner was standing in front of him.

Willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a little cherry mouth...at least that's what the lyrics say.

When Song Xinxin was young, she was actually not that bad...

Speaking of which, this person is considered Zhao Benshan’s senior on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

In 89, he performed a skit on the Spring Festival Gala.

“You compliment me.”

"What compliments? Not bad, that's all." Song Xunxun said quickly, "There aren't many people your age who aren't afraid of getting dirty."

"You are willing to help others, so you have a good conscience. At least it doesn't look bad on the surface."

Zhang Yuan: …

He speaks very directly.

When ordinary people talk like this, they are said to be careless.

When it comes to Song Xinxin's identity, it is called true nature.

"Wow, you two already know each other before I even had the chance to introduce you." Zhao Benshan came forward with a smile.

"Look at you, you asked me to come and film, but you didn't come to pick me up. What kind of crappy place is this?"

"There's no village in front and no shop behind!"

"I'm telling you, you have to treat me to something delicious!"

As soon as he saw his "old partner" coming, Teacher Song immediately put his hands on his hips and started praising and criticizing the other party.

"Okay, I'll definitely invite you."

"I feel relieved when you come."

Zhao Benshan felt relieved.

First of all, I was in a good mood because I saw my old acquaintance partner.

Secondly, he was the one who brought Song Xinxin to the crew.

Because Teacher Zhao not only has to film, but also has to prepare the program at the same time.

Perform on the Spring Festival Gala! (End of this chapter)
