Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 42 The boss is awesome!
At this moment, Huo Chunliang was standing in the corner with water in his hand. No one noticed that his hands were trembling slightly, his whole body was tense, and his breathing was rapid.

At this moment, he felt that he had been separated from the outside world and fell into a dizzy feeling.

I felt like I couldn't control my body at all. I couldn't stop shaking. My breathing became rapid, I felt dizzy, my scalp was numb, and everything in front of my eyes went black.

It was as if the voices of all the people around me had become blurred, and a feeling of palpitations welled up in my heart.

The performance was a failure.
As expected, I still can’t do it?

Is he really not qualified for this job?

His good friend, Zeng Dan, thought so highly of him and cared about him, and had gone through so much trouble to find this opportunity for him.

But how did he do it?

Director Xia must be very dissatisfied?
Originally, maybe Director Xia and Mr. Tang were not particularly satisfied with their choice of him to play Chen Shi? Maybe.

Otherwise, if there are better options, who would be willing to choose him? Who is he?
He is just a rapist with a bad reputation.

Moreover, I am already old and haven’t stepped onto a film set or performed in front of the camera for many years.

Many things have changed.

The former film cameras have become digital high-definition cameras, and 6K ones at that.

The crew began to become streamlined and was no longer what he was once familiar with.

Even the filming process is very different from what I am familiar with.

He probably can't keep up with the times.

At this moment, he seemed to hear many voices ringing in his ears.

"It's a waste of time and resources. When you get old, you should just sell your own beef offal. Why do you have to show off your abilities?"

"What kind of daydreaming of being a big star?"

"It's a shame that Director Xia and President Tang paid you such a high salary and asked you to pay it back."

"Strong criminal."

"I can do it too. Who can't play a zombie?"

These voices, with echoes, interweave into familiar figures, surrounding him.

There is Xia Yuan, Tang Ying, and those once familiar figures.

Just like those people decades ago, the director, the leading actor, and those so-called friends in the circle who used to have a good relationship with him.

Finally, the picture freezes on a young girl.

The girl was wearing clothes of a style that was popular twenty years ago, and had a work badge from the crew around her neck that read "Makeup Assistant."

But at this moment, a sudden voice shattered everything in front of him.

"Teacher Huo, what are you doing there? Come here!"

As the picture disappeared, the feeling of paralysis all over his body quickly subsided, and the scene in front of his eyes returned to the familiar scene.

He looked into the distance and saw Tang Ying sitting in Xia Yuan's seat, while Xia Yuan took a small stool and sat next to Tang Ying.

And other crew members were looking at him.

However, what was different from the world that Huo Chunliang had just dissociated himself from was that although everyone's eyes were on him, they were warm eyes.

Huo Chunliang remained silent, not knowing what to say. He nodded and walked over.

He put down the double-edged sword in his hand, bowed his head and apologized to Tang Ying and Xia Yuan first: "I'm sorry, Director Xia, Boss Tang, I let you down. It's all my fault today. Maybe I'm just..."

"Why are you thinking so much?" Tang Ying interrupted what Huo Chunliang was about to say: "The sugar water is here, drink it first! Then eat!"

Apologize? She was in no mood to listen to an apology. What was the point of an apology? Did Huo Chunliang do anything wrong?

No, they have always done a good job and worked very seriously.

Moreover, working hard is not a good thing for her.

So she didn't care at all whether Huo Chunliang did anything wrong or not, let alone hold him accountable.

At this moment, her eyes were shining as she looked at the sugar water that was brought in, and she was just short of saying "Wuhu".

After being hungry for a whole day, her stomach was really empty, and her eyes were only staring at the tricycle that brought in sugar water.

"Wuhu! There's sugar water!"

"The boss is awesome! Director Xia is awesome!"

"The boss is giving out benefits, everyone come over here!"

Tang Ying asked her assistant to order some sweet soup, so naturally everyone got one, and not just one, but as much as they could get.

Then, at Tang Ying's instruction, the logistics team brought up all the lunch boxes and began to set the table. People could get their lunch boxes.

It would be bad to eat by yourself first, so Tang Ying took two portions of sweet soup and a lunch box, returned to her original position, and handed one of them to Huo Chunliang: "Teacher Huo, I'll get it for you. The weather is quite hot. I'll make some iced sweet soup. You can sit here and eat with us."

Tang Ying pointed to the cleared director's desk.

Assistant Xiao Liu also took back Xia Yuan's share.

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Let's go together, Teacher Huo. You are also very tired today."

"Okay." Huo Chunliang was a little stunned for a moment. He was in his forties and didn't know what to say.

He sat down somewhat stiffly.

Tang Ying's mind was focused on eating, and she couldn't wait to open the lid of the disposable bowl: "Ah?"

Then he looked at Xia Yuan: "Mine is barley and red beans, and twice-cooked pork with hot peppers. What's yours?"

"Coconut milk taro balls, sweet and sour pork, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes." Xia Yuan opened his portion and took a look.

"Change it, hehe." "Okay."

So they exchanged them, and Tang Ying couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

There's finally something in my stomach. I feel better.

After taking another sip of the sugar water, Tang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Huo Chunliang and asked, "Is Teacher Huo still adapting?"

"." Huo Chunliang didn't say anything, just hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"That's good. Actually, in our crew, you don't need to worry about so many things. Just keep a calm mind. I know this is very easy for an old actor who once had a successful career."

"Our company is different from other places. We take work very casually. It is good to do a good job, but under this premise, we need to consider whether the employees are happy, whether the people under us are happy, and whether everyone is satisfied with the working environment."

"Actually, I feel very honored to have you in."

pleasure?

Huo Chunliang was stunned.

"At that time, Mr. Zeng Dan told me that he was injured and didn't know what to do. We were about to face the situation where no one was available, so he recommended you."

Tang Ying said: "Perhaps you don't know, after hearing about you, I met you in person, and I thought at the time, it's you. If there is anyone who can play the role of Chen Shi well, it must be you."

These words went straight to Huo Chunliang's heart, like a heavy punch, hammering open the shackles on his heart.

Does anyone really need me?
I'm not a burden.
And there are those words from Tang Ying’s mouth.

Things like family, happiness, whether the people under you are satisfied and so on.

These were all extremely unfamiliar words to him.

In his mind, filming is for the purpose of making money, it is the operation of capital, and anything else is not as important as making money.

If you delay making money, you are a sinner.

Tang Ying's words were extremely unfamiliar to him.

Until Tang Ying said, "Work is secondary. I hope you can find a sense of belonging in this crew. To put it bluntly, everyone here, including me, is your nephew. You haven't filmed for such a long time, and you can finally go on stage again. Just treat it as a fart, don't care."

After saying that, she started eating.

Occasionally interact with Xia Yuan, talk about work and the crew's arrangements.

Huo Chunliang was eating silently with his head down.

After he finished eating, he raised his head, his eyes had changed, and he looked at Xia Yuan firmly: "Director Xia."

Then he looked at Tang Ying: "Boss Tang."

"Thank you." Huo Chunliang lowered his head.

This look has completely changed.

Xia Yuan was watching on the side, stunned.

Shit, that's different?

This has changed? ?

No matter how many times he had said the play before, it was of no use. He was even prepared to dance the play all day long.

As a result, the senior student solved the problem with just a few words?
Looking at the senior schoolmate again, she was eating quietly and elegantly, without even raising her head. She looked like she had everything under control, as if she was leaving after completing her work, hiding her achievements and fame.

Xia Yuan was immediately filled with awe.

How could he know that Tang Ying was completely focused on eating and humming a little tune in her heart.

Lunch time ended quickly and the shooting process resumed immediately.

This time, the crew's operation was no different from before, but the dissatisfied expression on Xia Yuan's face had changed.

Because he was looking in the direction of Huo Chunliang in the field and was stunned.

At the code position, Huo Chunliang was holding a double-edged sword, and according to the arrangement of the script and the screenplay, he passed five levels and killed six generals.

The two mandarin duck swords were wielded to perfection.

His eyes were determined, with some ambition and hatred, and his movements were clean and decisive when facing all opponents.

Isn’t this a vivid example of Chen Shi?
Until after the filming was finished.

"Click, this time we passed!" Xia Yuan announced quickly.

Then look at Tang Ying.

Sure enough, no wonder he is the boss. He found the problem at a glance.

Huo Chunliang, is that a problem of level or simple state?

No, it was just too much pressure! His mentality didn't change for a while, and he didn't point out the problem immediately, but just talked about the play from a technical perspective.

This approach is naturally the most efficient method for professional actors who are constantly filming, as it gets straight to the point.

But he overlooked one problem, that is, Huo Chunliang had not filmed a movie systematically for a long time and had been away from this environment for a long time.

Moreover, filming now is completely different from what it was decades ago. Times are advancing, technology is advancing, and many things are completely different from when I was there.

Huo Chunliang is just like an ordinary person. If he fails to do something well, he will face accountability again and again.

If this happened to him, Xia Yuan felt as if he couldn't breathe. The sense of urgency from the pressure accumulating layer by layer, and the helplessness of not having done anything well, were intertwined.

He was unable to notice the problem immediately, but Tang Ying was able to.

I can only say, the boss is awesome!
