Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Red string matches golden Buddha, those who understand will understand. …
Wen Yu followed Ding Rong on the set for a few days and didn't find any problems. Then he and Li Chaoyan made an appointment to meet Ning Weili.
Ning Weili was probably just as she said, she had just divorced, was single, and was looking for something to do. As soon as Li Chaoyan asked her out, she came out.
The two women made an appointment to go shopping and have afternoon tea.
There is no high-end shopping mall for people to shop near the film and television city, so Ning Weili made an appointment at an ordinary coffee shop, which is close to where Li Chaoyan rented a house.
When they met, Li Chaoyan saw that Ning Weili was dressed even more casually than the day of the dinner, in just casual clothes.
Ning Weili noticed her scrutinizing look and explained, "During the years of marriage, I was always asked to dress appropriately, elegantly and femininely. Maybe I became a bit rebellious. Now that I'm divorced, I want to wear something casual and comfortable."
The more Li Chaoyan looked at Ning Weili, the more she felt that this sister was truly charming.
It's not her looks, it's her personality and her soul. Although she hasn't had much time to interact with people, she just feels comfortable listening to people talk.
That tone, that calmness and composure, that substance behind his words, completely surpasses any superficial things.
Li Chaoyan sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Sister Ning, your ex-husband's divorce from you must be the biggest loss in his life."
Ning Weili is a few years older than Li Chaoyan. She couldn't help but find it interesting to see the young, lively and beautiful girl looking at her with admiration.
Sure enough, divorce, and walking away from a stagnant family, was the right decision.
Ning Weili said: "Thank you, I think so too."
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Li Chaoyan also felt that the distance between him and Ning Weili had shortened a lot.
She remembered the reason why she had asked Ning Weili out, and said, "Sister Ning, I asked about Gao Ren's situation. There are only three people in his family, his parents and him. His family had some money when he was a child, but later they were cheated and went bankrupt."
Ning Weili asked: "Is his family from here? Do his parents have any relatives?"
Li Chaoyan said: "He should be from the local area... As for the situation of his family, I am not sure. Can I ask again?"
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Ning Weili agreed, and when Li Chaoyan picked up the phone to call Gao Ren, she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, can you help me get a family photo of his family?"
Gao Ren's call was connected quickly. Li Chaoyan turned on the speakerphone and said, "Brother Ren, a friend of Brother Ying and I met you at the restaurant the other day. We are a little curious about your situation and want to ask you something. Is it convenient for you?"
"Huh? Curious about me?"
Gao Ren scratched his hair and said, "I am such a simple young man. My family only has my mom and dad. I used to be stupid and rich, but after being cheated of all my family assets, I am stupid and have no money now. It's that simple."
Li Chaoyan looked at Ning Weili, and Ning Weili gestured for her to speak.
The phone was quickly turned the other way.
Ning Weili said, "Hello Gao Ren, I'm Chao Yan's friend, you can just call me Sister Ning. The story is this: my aunt's in-laws' family has a child who got lost when he was young. He should be 48 years old now. The elderly in the family are sick now and miss this child very much. They sent a lot of people to look for clues from that year. When I saw you that day, I felt that you looked about 70% similar to someone."
Gao Ren on the other end of the phone was stunned.
"ah?"
He could only make a sound that sounded like dementia.
What lost child? Is it really necessary to be so ridiculous? However, it seems that his father was really adopted, and his grandparents are not his biological grandparents.
Gao Ren suddenly had an idea when he connected many things together.
"Um, Sister Ning, is your aunt's in-laws very rich?"
Ning Weili answered the question without thinking: "It's not a top-tier wealthy family, but it's indeed quite rich. My family is in business and has a brand that has been around for nearly a hundred years. My uncle is a well-known director, and his brothers and sisters, some are in business, and some are in the entertainment industry, and they are all well-off."
Gao Ren took a deep breath, paused for two seconds, and took another deep breath.
After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses: "Sister Ning, could you please take me to meet your aunt's in-laws, please?"
…
Wen Yu followed Li Chaoyan to meet Ning Weili and followed them all the way. Especially when Li Chaoyan went to the bathroom and was not around, Ning Weili behaved normally.
After the two said goodbye, Wen Yu followed Ning Weili all the way to the parking lot, but still found nothing.
Wenyu posted a follow-up report in a group of people.
[No problem found, he looks like a normal person. ]
Sun Xifei quickly responded: [I asked someone about it, but I haven't found out any problems yet. Those who are familiar with them have good reputations.]
As long as there is no problem with the cooperation partner, that’s great. All that remains is to wait for Ying Tianrui to write the script and for both parties to sign the contract.
Ying Tianrui was busy all day long, but Wen Yu found himself completely idle.
Nothing to do.
It's so boring, there's nothing to do.
At this time, Li Chaoyan took a job. Thanks to Sun Xifei, he introduced her to a female No. N in a crew. It was a current idol web drama with small investment and a pretty good shooting atmosphere.
Li Chaoyan was paid for her work, and she and Sun Xifei instantly became half-siblings.
Wen Yu couldn't stay in the rental house, so he simply followed Li Chaoyan to the set.
While Li Chaoyan and the others were filming, he was watching from the side. He had a flash of inspiration when he was in Ding Rong's crew before, and after following Li Chaoyan into the crew, he was caught red-handed again.
Isn’t his current state just suitable for “watching”?
He stayed in Li Chaoyan's small crew for two days and then left decisively.
Wen Yu suddenly remembered that among the many crews currently filming in the film and television city, there happened to be a crew of the famous director Xidong. When he saw the news, he talked about it with Sun Xifei and said that if he could join the crew, he would be happy to be an extra.
Being able to experience a famous director’s work up close is a rare opportunity.
And now, his chance has come!
When Wen Yu thought about the good things that could happen to him after he became an invisible man, he immediately stopped cursing about this shitty fate.
Xidong is a well-known director. The total box office of his works exceeds 10 billion yuan, and he is the box office champion of all the films in history.
This movie is in his comfort zone, a police and gangster film with half drama and half fighting scenes. The martial arts director is his "golden partner" Ling Yihai. The two have worked together for decades and not only have a good relationship, but also have a tacit understanding of cooperation.
Wen Yu carefully sneaked into Xidong's crew. This was his first time seeing a large crew working.
Professionalism and efficiency, these two words come to mind.
In comparison, Wen Yu felt that all the crews he had worked with before were makeshift teams.
As for the short video shooting scene of him and Ying Tianrui, it didn't even qualify as a makeshift team.
Wen Yu followed Xidong. When people went east, he went east, and when people went west, he went west.
The leading male and female actors and the supporting male actors in the crew are all movie emperor-level actors. Watching them acting together is simply a pleasure.
On the third day, the third male lead of the crew arrived.
Wen Yu knew the other person, Bian Xingyu, a new male star who had become popular with his outstanding acting skills. He had never played the leading role, but the supporting roles he played were very impressive.
At that time, he conquered the audience with his supporting actor role, and when he appeared on the hot search, there was also a hot comment:
An actor with acting skills, whether he plays the leading role or not, will eventually be noticed by people.
Wen Yu felt inspired when he saw the other person and really hoped that he could have the same day as the other person.
It doesn’t matter whether you are the male lead or not, as long as your acting skills are recognized by the audience, that is definitely the highest honor.
Bian Xingyu plays a rookie policeman in the drama Xidong. He is righteous, hates evil, and has a hot temper, but there is also a subtle quality in his temper.
Wen Yu felt that this character was good at first sight, and the audience would definitely like it after watching it.
I had high expectations for Bian Xingyu, and he lived up to expectations and performed very smoothly.
Wen Yu watched the whole thing and wanted to applaud. Then he heard Xidong coming over with a loud speaker: "Very good, Xingyu, do it again. The emotional processing just now needs to be restrained a little here, like this... over here, you can..."
Wen Yu was listening with blinking eyes. He thought Bian Xingyu’s acting was quite good, but Xidong’s narration seemed to make sense and was more in line with the character’s logic.
For a great director like Xidong, there is absolutely no possibility for actors to lose their temper in front of him. The actors will absolutely cooperate with whatever the director says.
Wen Yu watched Bian Xingyu being asked to perform again, and then Xidong asked him to do it again.
Do it again. Do it again.
Come again and perform again.
They performed it over ten times, but Xidong never said anything. Wenyu felt a little tired just watching it.
Bian Xingyu's condition also looked much worse than at the beginning.
The more you shoot, the worse it gets.
Wen Yu was originally standing nearby watching, and couldn't help but take two steps forward. He couldn't help but wonder how he would have acted if it were him.
After trying several times, Wen Yu felt that he should be able to meet Xidong's requirements, but Bian Xingyu didn't know why he always got stuck.
Maybe it was because he started to lose his temper after being told no?
I heard that some actors are very fragile and can only be praised. The more they are praised, the better their condition is. They cannot withstand any criticism at all and a group of them will be directly criticized.
But for the entire crew, even if there are a few leading actors who are at the level of movie emperors and actresses, it is common for the director to chase them and polish a shot. No matter how good Bian Xingyu's acting is, he is not better than these actors.
After a whole day of polishing, this shot still didn't pass. It looks like I'll have to continue polishing it the next day.
That is to say, if it is a movie or a TV series, the time is tight and the parts are many, and it cannot withstand such meticulous craftsmanship.
As soon as Xidong called for the end of work, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and started packing up.
Wen Yu had no choice but to go off work as well, and he walked out leisurely.
Director Xidong walked with the male lead Ren Jingyuan. The two had worked together several times and had a very good relationship, chatting as they walked.
Ren Jingyuan saw a pendant hanging around Xidong's neck and said casually, "Director Xi, when did you become so delicate?"
Xidong reached out and touched the back of his neck and said, "It's okay, just wear it for fun."
