Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 17 Jiro Wang's Roommate
"Hey, kid, speak up!"

Da La and Xiao La were speaking their lines while pushing Wu Zhuo.

Wu Zhuo was like a punching bag, just keeping silent.

In fact, Wu Zhuo personally thinks that this plot is really embarrassing.

No matter how introverted a person is, if he is bullied, he should not just sit there and do nothing, allowing himself to be bullied like a fool.

But that’s how the plot is set up.

Film and television dramas are dramatic expressions, which require conflict and tension.

This is just like the later cool novels, where the protagonist needs to go through a process of accumulating anger in the early stages.

Here, Ding Xiaoyu was bullied and kept silent, all because he used his sharp eyes to scare Jin Baosan's little brother, and then led to Jin Baosan's words,

"Everyone who makes it to the Ultimate Class has a brilliant record, an unyielding gaze, and few words. Could he be..."

For Wu Zhuo, this scene was not difficult.

The only difficult part may be the positioning.

When shooting, the lighting and camera positions are basically fixed, and only a small area is the effective area.

Wu Chao needs to find the right camera position when performing, otherwise he will look in the wrong place or walk out of the camera.

Although Wu Zhuo had learned these basic things in school, this was his first time applying them in practice, so he was inevitably nervous and worried about making mistakes.

Fortunately, Wu Zhuo completed it successfully.

"Crack!"

With a click from the director, Wu Zhuo's scene was completed.

"Good, you passed it in one try. You have a bright future, young man!" Huang Wanbo patted Wu Chao on the shoulder.

"I was also very nervous just now, afraid of making mistakes." Wu Zhuo responded with a smile.

This producer named Huang Wanbo looks a bit fierce, but he is a nice person. He doesn't put on airs and gets along well with the actors.

By the way, this person is actually an acquaintance.

He is the actor who played Scar Jason in "KO One" and was one of the thugs from the Equipment Repair Department who were beaten by Wang Arthur during the midnight subway incident.

Who would have thought that the clown-like person in the play is actually a producer in real life, and his personality is completely different from that in the play.

This is the charm of drama.

You can experience different lives in it.

Good guys can play bad guys, and bad guys can play good guys.

……

The shooting progress of "KO One" is a bit rushed. The show has just started shooting, but it has been confirmed that it will be broadcast on the 8 o'clock TV station's comprehensive channel in late November.

It is now October 8th.

All in all, the shooting took less than two months.

This also includes post-production special effects and editing.

So, the shooting time is actually shorter.

In order to rush the filming and sometimes have night scenes, Wu Zhuo and several other main actors were asked by the crew not to go home. The crew directly arranged them in the Komi employee dormitory.

"The environment is not bad! I thought it would be bad!"

Wu Zhuo and Chen Yiru were arranged together.

The two were led into the dormitory by a young girl from Komi Company.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Chen Yiru looked around. After seeing the layout of the dormitory clearly, he couldn't help but praise it.

"There are two more rooms. We can each take one."

Wu Zhuo was also quite satisfied. He thought he and Chen Yiru would need to sleep in bunk beds, but he didn't expect that each of them would have a room.

And the environment is very good.

"Our two companies are jointly owned by the management team. You are from Tianxi, which means you are actually artists of our company.

You will definitely be filming for the company frequently in the future, so the accommodation the company has arranged for you is long-term."

The younger sister who brought Wu Zhuo and the other man in explained.

"No wonder Dadong is so familiar with this place. It turns out that the company arranged a place for him to live here."

Chen Yiru put down his things and sat down on the sofa in the living room, rubbing his neck:

"I'm so tired! One day of filming is more tiring than a day of working out in the gym."

Wu Zhuo put down his miscellaneous things, sent the young lady who led the way away, and came back to carefully check the layout of the dormitory.

Two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen.

There is a sofa, TV and desk in the living room, but no computer.

"Don't sit down, let's go buy some bedding first! Call Brother Dadong, he should be familiar with this area." Wu Zhuo looked at the time, it was now ten past five.

Today is the first day of filming and the crew left early.

"Oh! I really don't want to move." Chen Yiru sat on the sofa and complained.

"Hurry up! It's late and you'll have to sleep on the wooden bed tonight!"

Wu Zhuo grabbed him and walked out.

The two of them called Jiro Wang, asked about his room, and went straight there.

……

"So, you live with Wu Genglin now?"

In the furniture store, Wu Chao looked at Wang Dongcheng with a strange expression.

"Yes what's the matter?"

Jiro Wang helped carry things, "Actually, Wu Genglin is a very nice person. Don't look down on him just because he was late last time."

"Nothing, just a few surprises." Wu Zhuo turned around.

No wonder the relationship between Fahrenheit was so good in the early days after the group was formed in their previous life.

It turns out that we live in one dormitory now!
I don’t know if Jiro Wang knows who the other person is now.

Thinking about Jiro Wang sleeping, Wu Chao shuddered.

Shaking his head to get rid of that thought, he continued:
"I don't have any problem with it. On the contrary, he seems to have a lot of problems with me because the company gave me the role of Ding Xiaoyu."

"As long as you don't have any problem with him, I'll take care of the rest. I'll find a chance to talk to him some other day."

Jiro Wang assured with full confidence.

Wu Zhuo didn't care about it.

He and Aaron didn't have much contact, so he didn't care whether the other party had any opinion of him or not.

……

After living in Komi, it has become much more convenient for Wu Zhuo and others to shoot.

Shooting was done during the day at the scene set up by Komi Company.

Even if there are school scenes, it is not far away, just near Jiaxing Street. It doesn’t take long to go there and back, which is very convenient.

In the next few days, the filming of "KO One" proceeded in an orderly manner.

The first two days were relatively slow as everyone was adapting.

However, as everyone got used to the filming life on the crew, the crew began to speed up the progress. The original schedule of shooting only one or half an episode a day was directly increased to two episodes, or even three episodes.

As the shooting progress speeds up, the actors will naturally have to suffer more.

There will naturally be no problem for veteran actors who are mentally prepared.

It’s different for newcomers like Wu Zhuo and Chen Yiru.

Especially Chen Yiru, he didn’t even celebrate his birthday because of the filming, and simply bought a cake to celebrate in the dormitory.

This made him complain for a long time, and he told Wu Zhuo every day that filming was too hard.

Wu Zhuo actually felt very tired as well, as filming is a technical job.

It's not hard labor, but it is really tiring.

However, he is interested in this line of work, so even though he feels tired, he does not find it boring.

On the 21st, at the suggestion of producer Huang Wanbo, the crew took two days off.

This made everyone very happy.

That night, Zhang Haoming suggested that everyone take a two-day break and go climb Yangming Mountain together.

During this period, as the actors spent more time together, they became more and more familiar with each other and almost became good friends.

Among them, the three who had the best time were Jiro Wang, Stephen Chow and Michael Zhang.

The three of them are so close that they have to go to the toilet together.

Of course, Wu Zhuo also has a good relationship with them.

He also gets along well with Jiro Wang and Stephen Chow.

But relatively speaking, he has the best relationship with Chen Yiru.

This is mainly due to the fact that the two of them live in the same dormitory and go to work and go home together every day.

Moreover, compared to Wang Dongcheng's somewhat childish and immature personality.

Chen Yiru is more mature and his way of thinking is similar to Wu Chao.

Then, maybe it’s just that both of them like to talk and have similar personalities.
