coronation of stars

Chapter 20 Formal entry into the group (3)
"Since I appreciate it so much, is there any possibility for the two of them to develop further?" In the chaos, someone asked while taking advantage of the chaos. The media audience was silent for a while, and the reporters looked around, looking for the one who dared to ask. Problem Warrior.

"Which reporter came out to jump around before he learned Chinese well." Mu Ting was not the kind of person who would be obediently forced to ask such a question. Synonyms, it means that the objects referred to by these two definitions are different, I am too lazy to guess what the reporter meant by asking this question, but if you still have no questions about the album, the media interview session will end here."

He is the kind of person who keeps his word, and he is not afraid of offending the media. In addition, the media was too early in this matter. Even with the witness of hundreds of fans at the scene, they could not manipulate public opinion. After a while, the interview time ended and the press conference came to an end.Before leaving the stage, Mu Ting glanced at the corner of the curtain on the second floor, and saw that the corner had been raised again in the old place, so before stepping off the stage, he looked at the fans again and spoke for the last time.

"Before I came on stage just now, someone watched you set up the venue and praised you with a bit of envy." Mu Ting stood in the center of the stage, looked at the eye-catching red like mountains and seas below, and said with some emotion, " In fact, I haven’t known you for a long time, and I have almost no time to get along with you. I am very happy and a little flattered to receive such sincere and warm support from you. How can I repay your sincerity?"

"I've always thought that I'm the best in the universe." When Mu Ting said this, he lowered his head and smiled, and then quickly looked at the fans below, "But I never think that others should think of me too." Well, you even like me and support me, and I feel very happy to have the honor to meet you.”

"I don't see you many times, but every time I see you, you give me such a face, which makes me feel very proud, thank you."

"I don't know when it will be the next time I see you." Mu Ting smiled, lowered his head and took out his phone, "Record it, let's work hard from now on, live our lives well, and make each other happy every time we meet. It’s like, man, I’m so lucky to have gotten to know someone like that.”

There was a vibrating sound from the mobile phone, Qiao Yan took out the mobile phone, and saw that Mu Ting on the stage had sent her a text message.

"the same as you."

On the second day of the "Chivalrous Girl" press conference, Qiao Yan packed her luggage and officially entered the group.

Cao Rui and Xu Zhenxuan held a press conference for their new drama on the same weekend. The two directors are quite kind, and the conference venue is not far away.The reporters watched Cao Rui today and Xu Zhen tomorrow. They were busy running around the whole weekend, and they didn't know which draft to send.

"The Ranger of the End of the World" crew Wei Ze stood side by side with Cao Rui in the center to accept the interview. The first female Yao Manxin and the second female Mu Xueqing stood next to Cao Rui and Wei Ze respectively. The other actresses lined up in order of roles , all of them are like flowers and jade, competing for splendor and beauty, which is dazzling for a while.

Mu Xueqing was finally chosen as the second female lead in this show, which was both unexpected and reasonable.Although Mu Xueqing's acting skills are hard to describe in words, but after all, her background is strong enough and she can get any resources. Although her reputation is not good, she has a solid post-TV award in her hand.This drama is not centered on the heroine, and the role of the second female lead is roughly half of that of the first female lead, but Mu Xueqing managed to overwhelm the limelight of the leading female lead, Yao Manxin, by herself.

With Wei Ze in charge of acting and ratings guarantee, Mu Xueqing in charge of topics and traffic, and a fan base of remakes of classics at the forefront, the press conference has received a good response. People from all walks of life have expressed their expectations for this show. The reason why this drama is not popular.

As for Xu Zhen's "Chivalrous Girl" press conference, it's hard to say whether it was a success or not.

A well-known director who hasn't been involved in related subjects for many years, a new script that has not been leaked, a rookie female lead who has no sense of presence, and a controversial actor who is at the center of the topic, such a press conference seems a bit weird, and the direction of the series And the prospects are also very confusing.There are quite a few viewers who have confidence in Xu Zhen's ability, but more people are not optimistic about this drama, and the press conference is not as relaxed and interesting as the day before.On the contrary, the response on the Internet was a bit unexpected. They were quite positive about the casting of this drama. The audience expressed that they could accept it, at least it was better than the crew next door who chose Mu Xueqing as the second female lead.

All this is largely due to Mu Ting's relationship.Due to Mu Ting's strong support and clear support for Qiao Yan a week ago, and mentioned the possible theme song cooperation as a gimmick, the media did not make a big fuss about her newcomer status at Xu Zhen's press conference. Mu Ting's fans She also really listens to her idol, and she would say a few nice words when talking about "The Chivalrous Daughter", and even when she mentioned Qiao Yan, her tone was full of encouragement and tolerance.

Of course, all of this is false, no one would really take the love of Mu Ting's fans as Qiao Yan's own bargaining chip, she still left for the shooting location early at dawn, and was the first to enter with a humble attitude. Set of actors.

But someone came earlier than her.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has just passed, and the cities in the northern country are far from warming up, but the crew has already woken up in the twilight morning light.When she arrived at the location of the crew, the studio was already under construction, and Xu Zhen was nowhere to be seen, but his voice could be heard, which spread throughout the crew through the loudspeaker in her hand. The comments are picky, and the attitude is as rigorous as ever.

There is a chair in the lee of the door, with a bowl of porridge and three steamed buns in plastic bags on it. A man wrapped in a military coat squatted in front of the chair and buried his head in his breakfast. When he heard footsteps, he looked back. glance.

Qiao Yan's footsteps stopped suddenly.

"...Senior Yang Shuo." She stood awkwardly at the door of the crew, hesitated for a while, wondering if she should move on, and finally greeted first with a little unnaturalness, "Are you here so early?"

"It's you who are too late." Yang Shuo squatted on the ground wrapped in a military overcoat. He didn't have any shape at all. He was holding a half-eaten bun in his hand and it didn't seem out of place. He sized up Qiao Yan, His eyes quickly moved from the face with light makeup to the thick clothes, and finally glanced at her empty back.

"You didn't bring an assistant?" He asked casually, lowering his head and continuing to eat his breakfast.

"Because I don't know Director Xu's attitude very well, and I don't know whether everyone has an assistant, so I will go first by myself, and let her come by herself if there is no problem." Qiao Yan smiled and replied quietly, Relax a little.

This time, Yang Shuo's attitude towards her was much better than the last time. He didn't continue to wear his half-smile playful expression, and his slightly cold face was not dangerous.She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart - after all, she has to work together in the same crew as the male and female protagonists for several months, and it is impossible to continue to be so tense forever. Now that the other party withdraws the attacking posture, she is naturally happy to return the favor, hoping to coexist peacefully .

"Everyone is already here?" She turned her head to think about what Yang Shuo said just now, and she was a little nervous, for fear that she would accidentally be the last newcomer to join the group, which would be too ignorant of the rules.Yang Shuo glanced at her expressionlessly, then shook his head.

"Call your assistant over here. If you want, you can bring your entire team here. For Director Xu, as long as you clean yourself up, it doesn't affect the filming. It doesn't matter how many people you bring with you." He started Answered Qiao Yan's first concern, and then asked without answering, "Have you never worked with a famous director's crew before?"

"I've followed it," Qiao Yan pondered for a moment, and replied with some hesitation, "I joined the group at this time before...it was relatively early."

"Then you have never been with Director Xu's crew." Yang Shuo finished his breakfast after drinking the rice porridge, threw the plastic bag away and sat back on the chair, pointing her in the direction of the dressing room, "Director Xu has a bad temper Big, there are no actors who dare to play big names in front of him, everyone will definitely be there this morning, and while most of the people are still on the road, hurry up and change the costumes, otherwise you will have to queue, the fitting room is over there."

"Ah...thank you." Qiao Yan immediately realized that Yang Shuo was telling the truth, because a taxi had already stopped not far away because of speaking.She thanked her in a hurry and was about to go to change her clothes, but Yang Shuo stopped her at this moment.

"Qiao Yan." Yang Shuo looked at her, and the meaningful smile appeared in his eyes again, "Do you still remember what you said at that time?"

Qiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood.

"Of course I remember." She gave Yang Shuo a dimple on her cheeks, nodded to him as a short farewell, and continued walking to the fitting room.The moment the door closed, the smile on Qiao Yan's face faded instantly, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

What Yang Shuo said just now was naturally referring to the time when the two of them suppressed each other during her audition.At that time, she was so angry that she thought that she had lost this opportunity. After the second round ended and suppressed Yang Shuo's scene, she whispered something to Yang Shuo. The voice was as low as a whisper, and even Xu Zhen didn't hear it. Only two of them know each other well.

At that time, she asked Yang Shuo softly with a touch of irony.

"There are thousands of ways to suppress the drama, why do seniors have to choose the most unbearable one?"

Yang Shuo didn't take the initiative to take a step back today to show his favor.

He was clearly declaring war on her.

Whether it's making peace or declaring war, since it can't be changed and it is destined to come, Qiao Yan can't be said to be afraid.After changing into her costume, like Yang Shuo, she received a military coat to keep out the cold. The story of "The Chivalrous Girl" started in midsummer, and she had to live a long period of time wearing a single shirt in the ice and snow to shout the heat.After she came out of the fitting room, the second female lead of the crew also arrived, and she was queuing outside the door right now.

The first sister of Lingyu Entertainment, Shen Jiasheng, is one point better than Xuan Ting's second brother Yang Shuo in terms of performance. She is the biggest actor in the crew, and she doesn't know why she took on a small supporting role. Right now, she condescends to stand in line Outside the door, I didn't know how long I stood there. There were several crew members standing around, but no one knocked on the door to urge her.

When Qiao Yan came out, he suddenly saw her and was startled, and then reacted quickly when the other party stretched out his hand, and politely bent down a little before raising his hand to hold the other's hand, smiling with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "Ms. Well, did I stay too long in there? Sorry."

"What's the matter, I just arrived." Shen Jiasheng smiled and hugged Qiao Yan intimately, a charming arc flashed in his eyes, "Don't be so polite, Mu Ting mentioned you so many times, I don't care. I have been very curious about you for a long time, from now on you can treat me as your own sister in the crew, and ask me if you don’t understand or don’t get used to it.”

"Mu Ting? Why did he mention me?" Qiao Yan looked at Shen Jiasheng blankly, and after a few seconds he couldn't help but ask, his eyes couldn't hide his astonishment, "I have only worked with him for more than ten days. People are so... er, warm-hearted?"

"He's so warm-hearted, silly girl." Shen Jiasheng laughed, and lightly poked Qiao Yan's forehead with his finger affectionately, "He's clearly... Forget it, anyway, if you have any questions on the set, just ask me. "

"... Oh." Qiao Yan agreed hesitantly, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly realized.

"No problem, Sister Sheng." Her smile suddenly became narrow-minded and joking, and she blinked at Shen Jiasheng with a knowing look, "Don't worry, Sister Sheng, although I'm not familiar with Mu Ting, once If he asks me about you, Sister Sheng, I will know everything, and I will tell you everything, and if it is inconvenient for you to tell him, I will help you convey it—"

"Oh, what nonsense is this little girl talking about?" Shen Jiasheng's eyes sparkled, and then she blushed slightly, showing a shy expression, "So many people are listening, don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, everyone understands." Qiao Yan responded with a smile, and took two steps to the side to get out of the way, "Look how obstructive I am standing here, Sister Sheng, go in, it's warm inside, take it easy for a while Change clothes."

Shen Jiasheng glanced at her with a smile, walked into the fitting room without saying anything.

Qiao Yan kept smiling and took two steps towards the set, then quietly let go of his clenched hands and wiped away the sweat from his palms.

Although Mu Ting speaks unscrupulously, but he is clear-headed and shrewd, and he talked about her with Ling Yu first sister...

how is this possible.

This is a trial based on speculation. She is indeed frank. If she hesitates a little, several staff members may acquiesce in her ambiguous relationship with Mu Ting.Right now, she turns the topic back to Shen Jiasheng herself, and she has escaped a catastrophe, but there is Yang Shuo, who is eyeing him, and Shen Jiasheng, who has unknown motives, this crew...

Not very nice.

"Qiao Yan? Is Qiao Yan here?" Just as she was thinking about something, a staff member raised her head and greeted her, "Your assistant is here. I want her to come here to find you?"

"Huh? Good." Qiao Yan was slightly taken aback, nodded in response, and sighed softly again.

Great, now her assistant is here too.

She obviously told the assistant to stay at the residence and wait for her news.

But at this moment, she hadn't had time to convey any news.

A few days after the official launch, Qiao Yan really realized the meaning of Yang Shuo's words "no one dares to play a big game in front of Xu Zhen".

Every director has his own habits and temper when filming, and this directing habit will directly affect the appearance and state of the entire crew.As far as the crew Qiao Yan worked for, most of the directors would not have a good temper on the set, no matter what their personalities were in private.Coordinating the smooth operation of the entire crew is not an easy task. Anything wrong may delay the overall shooting progress. It is really very difficult to meet the director's own psychological expectations.

Once or twice is okay, after such a deviation is too much, even a mild-mannered person will inevitably start to get anxious.And except for the very few directors like Zhang Jian who know how difficult their requirements are, most directors will think——ah, my requirements are not high at all?It’s all to the extent that you can act casually. What do you mean by NG so many times? Are you not dealing with me and deliberately causing trouble for me? !

This is how the directors took the difficulty of shooting for granted, and they were confident and determined to go their own way, refusing to accept the crying complaints of the rest of the crew about the difficulty of actual execution.Qiao Yan originally thought that she had been in many film crews in the past few years, and she had some experience with the director's various beings, but the appearance of Xu Zhen completely overturned her perception of the director's fluff.

If other directors are still at the stage of being picky and bearded and staring, but to a different degree, then Xu Zhen has obviously jumped out of the critical stage and is not taken for granted. If he can only sum up his temper on the set in one sentence , then this sentence must be——

Without a word, they drew their swords.

He obviously doesn't think that as a director, he just sits in a chair and looks at the camera and the actors.Xu Zhen has a strong sense of mission and collective honor. In other words, not only does he take care of everything, but he is also particularly keen on implementing the evil consecutive sitting system. It really makes him unhappy. His anger will spread to the nine clans. Right now The lighting artist, make-up artist, and prop artist were wrapped in military coats and squatted in a row under the leeward wall of the shooting location, sniffing their noses together with aspirations.
