Global Film Emperor: I film just to finish the movie!

Chapter 51 [051] Playing Big

the next day.

The crew of "SPL" started filming. First, Gu Nantian led everyone to worship the gods, and then accepted interviews from the media.

Su Ding was a new face and no local Hong Kong reporters paid attention to him.

The microphone was aimed at either Gu Nantian or the leading male actor Ma Jun.

Chen Jin, who also comes from the mainland, was not interviewed by reporters.

However, another supporting actor, a third-tier Hong Kong star, was handed the microphone once.

After the other party answered, he glanced at Su Ding with a slight sense of pride.

...Is there something wrong?

Su Ding kept smiling and ignored the other party.

Unexpectedly, the other party continued to look at Su Ding from time to time with a strange expression.

Seeing this, Su Ding called Gao Neng and asked him to contact Assistant Hong Anquan to find out the situation.

Hong Anquan left after praying to the gods before starting the filming, leaving behind an assistant to help him.

Gao Neng took the order and left. He returned at lunchtime and whispered to Su Ding, "Brother Ding, I've found out about the guy who keeps looking at you with the sidelong glance. His name is Liu Junlong. We originally wanted him to play the second male lead, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. It's just a verbal discussion."

……Understood!

It turned out that Su Ding had "grabbed" the other person's role.

At least in Liu Junlong's opinion, it was Su Ding who stole his second male lead!
That's why he would occasionally cast unhappy and unwilling glances at me.

However, based on Su Ding's observations and understanding of the crew and several investors, it is impossible for Liu Junlong to play the second male lead.

If Su Ding is not there, there will be someone else to replace him, and it is very likely that he will be a male actor from the mainland!
why?
Because Liu Junlong has no financial support, and "SPL" was invested with 150 million Hong Kong dollars, the Hong Kong market is so small, and so far no movie has a box office of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, not even 90 million.

Liu Junlong is somewhat popular in Hong Kong, but who knows him in mainland China?

How can I play the second male lead when I have no fame and no strong background?
……

Knowing the reason why Liu Junlong glanced at him from time to time, Su Ding didn't show it on the surface, but was secretly alert in his heart, and at the same time reminded Gao Neng to pay attention to safety.

After lunch, the crew started filming. Su Ding had no role. The filming was all indoor scenes in which the male lead, played by Ma Jun, met with others in offices and conference rooms and discussed countermeasures. These were simple scenes.

Each scene was basically reviewed twice.

The filming ended in the evening.

……

Early the next morning, Su Ding got up and exercised for a while downstairs in the hotel. After a simple breakfast, he rushed to the set to put on makeup.

He has scenes this morning and afternoon.

"Chen Guobin" is 34 years old in the play, so Su Ding needs to make himself 12 years older through makeup.

After putting on makeup and changing into the clothes for the play, he wore a high-end suit and a slicked-back hair, and he looked very handsome.

At eight o'clock, Gu Nantian arrived, made some arrangements, and started filming.

As a result, Ma Jun did not arrive.

At first, Gu Nantian asked his assistant to make a call, but the reply he got was that Ma Jun had just woken up and it would take half an hour for him to come over.

The scene shot this morning was the first time that "Chen Guobin", played by Su Ding, and the leading male role, played by Ma Jun, had a literary confrontation.

We can’t shoot without Ma Jun.

The crew had to wait for half an hour.

However, half an hour later, there was still no sign of Ma Jun.

Gu Nantian asked his assistant to urge him again, but the reply he got was that there was a traffic jam on the road.

By the way, Ma Jun lives in his own home, a luxury house in Mid-Levels that he just bought last year.

It takes some time to come to the set.

There is nothing we can do about the traffic jam, we can only continue to wait.

As a result, by half past nine, Ma Jun still hadn't arrived.

This time, Gu Nantian made the call personally, but the person who was connected was not Ma Jun himself, but Ma Jun's assistant.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Nantian looked a little worried, but he didn't say anything. He just asked everyone to wait. Ma Jun had something urgent to do and needed to delay for a few minutes.

"There's a shitty thing going on, it's just being a big shot!"

Gao Neng was beside Su Ding, cursing in a low voice, "There's been reports online that after Ma Jun became famous, he was late, left early, and refused to cooperate. He did all kinds of things."

"It's okay." Su Ding replied softly, "We just need to do our best."

"I'm afraid Ma Jun is targeting me on purpose." Gao Neng frowned and glanced in the direction of Liu Junlong, who was grinning at Su Ding.

Not only Liu Junlong, but other people in the crew also looked at Su Ding from time to time.

From the director to the stagehands, no one in the "SPL" crew is new.

Everyone can see that Ma Jun is acting like a big shot.

Although the crew stopped working for half the morning, Su Ding was the one most affected.

The key point is that Su Ding can’t say it yet.

……

Ma Jun didn't show up until noon. After lunch, at around one o'clock, Ma Jun finally arrived on the set and apologized to the crew with a fist bump.

Then, ask Gu Nantian for leave.

"President Tan just called me and asked me to come over to discuss something important. I'll go quickly and try to be back before 3 p.m."

Ma Jun looked apologetic and said embarrassedly.

"..."

Gu Nantian didn't say anything. He looked at Ma Jun calmly for a while, then spoke softly, "President Tan invited me, so naturally your side is important. But there are some things you do, and you need to bear certain consequences. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Brother Tian, ​​don't worry." Ma Jun grinned, clasped his fists, turned and left.

From beginning to end, there was no contact with Su Ding.

"Brother Ding..." Gao Neng said in a low voice.

"No need to say anything." Su Ding interrupted.

That thing about President Tan inviting Ma Jun to discuss things must be true.

But the Ma army will be back at three o'clock?

Haha~
……

……

"Brother Jun, are we really going to come back later?"

In the moving car, the assistant looked at Ma Jun and asked softly.

"What are you doing back here?" Ma Jun asked calmly, leaning back in the back seat. "Are you licking the mainland guys' feet?"

The two assistants and the driver fell silent.

After a moment, he started yelling in dissatisfaction.

"This mainland kid is really arrogant. He didn't even treat Jun to dinner when he saw him yesterday. People like him need to be taught a lesson and learn their lesson!"

"That's right. He thought that by joining Hua Shicheng, he could be on equal footing with Jun Ge. Who does he think he is?"

"What's so great about a newcomer I've never even heard of?"

"..."

Several people spoke up and criticized and despised Su Ding.

Ma Jun heard it without any reaction, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

……

……

Ma Jun came and went, and the atmosphere on the set became increasingly weird.

Gu Nantian seemed not to see it and just stood up and announced the change of scene.

The next scene still features Su Ding.

It’s just that it takes time to change the scene and set up the scenery, so Su Ding waited again.

It was almost three o'clock when we finally started filming the scene, which included a conversation with the "subordinates", arranging matters, and also introducing the robbery committed by the gang of gangsters led by the third male lead.

The literary scenes in action movies are not difficult and they were passed after three takes.

As expected, Ma Jun did not show up.

Gu Nantian announced the end and prepared to have dinner, after which the night show would begin.

In the night scene, Su Ding has no role.

In other words, he rushed to the set early in the morning and waited for a whole day, but Su Ding only filmed one scene.

Gao Neng was indignant.

Su Ding didn't show much, and calmly removed her makeup and changed her clothes.

When I left the set, I found Chen Jin waiting on the side of the road, and there was no one else around.

After Su Ding walked over, Chen Jin smiled and comforted him, "It's normal to wait for a scene. I used to wait from morning to night and never got a scene. Wait a few times and you'll get used to it."

"Thank you, Brother Jin." Su Ding also smiled, "Brother Jin, have you ever been to Hong Kong to film a movie before?"

"Not only have I been here before, I came here ten years ago to seek development, but I couldn't make it, so I could only play some minor roles." Chen Jin said self-deprecatingly.

Ten years ago, Hong Kong films were still somewhat popular, and mainland films had just entered the era of blockbusters.

Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are also admired by all parties and are full of filters.

Many mainland actors came here.

As for the result, I won’t tell you.

Chen Jin waited by the roadside and comforted Su Ding, asking him to be patient.

Su Ding remembered this kindness.

It would be fine if there is no ability to fight back.

The question is whether Su Ding has the ability to return it.

Why should he endure it!
