Reborn in a parallel world, Zhou Yiyang becomes the boss, manager, and errand boy of an 18th-tier girl group...
Who could have imagined that five years later, Zhou Yiyang's girl group swe...
In the following half month, the four of them hardly used any social software.
Wang Xingrui even found that she hadn't read any novels in the past half month, and had forgotten the plots of many of the books she was following.
At this moment, the four of them were sitting in the restaurant, listening to Zhou Yiyang and several directors raising their glasses to celebrate the completion of the film. Everyone had an unreal expression on their face.
"Are we done filming yet?" Lin Xuan'er shook her head. "I still have the illusion that I have to film again tomorrow!"
"We're done." Su Yin was the most sober one, perhaps because she had done a lot of takes in one take and didn't do many retakes. "I've been practically cut off from the internet for the past two weeks."
"Don't mention it," Tang Yue suddenly picked up the juice and took a sip. "I even adjusted my biological clock to normal because we get up at six o'clock every morning to shoot, and I don't dare to stay up late at all."
Zhou Yiyang only then noticed the movement from their side. He glanced at the four people and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you all so listless? If someone didn't know, they would think you were just released from somewhere!"
"Brother Yang, you can't empathize with us at all," Tang Yue criticized, "We've been shooting for over ten hours every day for the past two weeks!"
Yang Ping raised his glass and toasted Yue Shao and the other three: "Indeed, you four have worked really hard in the last half month. But your work ethic is truly better than many young actors I've worked with."
Of course, the four of them didn't drink any alcohol, but instead used juice instead of wine and clinked their glasses.
Wang Xingrui looked over curiously and said, "Director Yang, can you tell us about any unusual actors you've worked with before?"
"No way," Yang Ping immediately shook his head. He still wanted to stay in the circle. "If others knew I was complaining about them behind their backs, I would be embarrassed."
"How could that be?" Su Yin also encouraged, "Let Xuan'er be the guarantor. The four of us will never tell anyone."
Lin Xuan'er lowered her head and smiled, but still fulfilled Su Yin's wish: "Well, we won't say anything nonsense. Or you can use a nickname instead."
Zhou Yiyang also looked over curiously. From the time he filmed his first movie, he had been working with his own artists. No one would put on airs in front of his boss.
"I shouldn't say anything." Yang Ping slapped himself jokingly. "Actually, if you look up the movies I've made, you can guess who I'm talking about. I worked with an actress who took on five movies at the same time. You have no idea how exaggerated she was. She came to my place every morning to shoot for two hours, and no matter how the filming went, she would leave at the appointed time. I thought at the time, she was just punching in and out!"
Tang Yue chuckled and said, "So how did she perform in the end?"
"As for my movie, many people said she was the worst actress. But one of her TV series did become a hit. This is why many celebrities know that overlapping schedules will affect the quality of their work, but they still do it. Because the audience doesn't care about quality at all."
But the four girls in front of me were different. During the filming period, they had not taken a single day off except for recording variety shows and necessary commercial activities. For example, in the post-production stage, they came in earlier than the extras to catch up on the progress.
Not only was the filming completed ahead of schedule, but the director also meticulously shot every shot.
All this has a lot to do with their efforts.
"There was another actor, a popular figure, whose attitude was even worse. He had fans visiting the set every day and giving him all sorts of gifts. I couldn't tell if he was there to film or hold a fan meeting. Later I found out that his agent would pick a beautiful one from among his lucky fans every day and recommend her to him on WeChat."
Everyone present was not a minor and immediately understood what Yang Ping meant.
"Oh my god," Wang Xingrui covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly, "This person has quite good physical strength!"
"This is too messy!" Lin Xuan'er finally acted like the youngest at this time, and her face turned red in an instant.
"Alas," Yang Ping sighed. "Many people become actors not because they enjoy filming, but simply because it makes money quickly. So, they don't have any sense of conviction. And as for me, as a director, I'm neither high nor low, and they don't give me face. Actors wouldn't dare do that to people like Director Zhang and Director Chang. As for Mr. Zhou, he's an investor. If someone isn't serious, he can just replace them."
He looked at the two new directors and said earnestly, "You should learn from my experience and follow your own ideas when casting. Otherwise, you will be disgusted by some clueless investors."
"Indeed," Chang Tiesheng nodded. "I haven't made many commercial films, and most of the actors I've worked with are still ambitious. But it's rare to find someone like these four who are popular and have such a good attitude. So Mr. Zhou's training method is worth promoting in the industry!"
Zhou Yiyang waved his hand and said modestly, "Don't say that. It's just that the four of them have good personalities."
Several girls felt a little embarrassed by the directors' praise, and the fatigue they had felt from filming for half a month in a row also gradually disappeared.
The first question that came to Tang Yue's mind after she regained her energy was, "Brother Yang, has the show next door aired two episodes in this period?"
"Next door?" Zhou Yiyang scratched his head. Didn't Tang Yue say that she didn't check her phone every night? How did she know that a film and television company had organized an actor-themed variety show?
"It's "Perfect Girl"? Could it be that it has become obsolete in just half a month?" Tang Yue couldn't help but smile as she said this.
Obviously, if she really failed, she would be very happy.
However, Zhou Yiyang shook his head and explained, "Oh, you're talking about that? They were still holding auditions for the first two weeks. Then, several very strong contestants emerged, and the number of views and buzz was indeed very high. If you calculate the average episode, it's second only to 'The Actors Are In Place'. At this rate, it will definitely surpass it and become the most popular variety show of the year."
