Although people don't smile while working, the deathly silence before us still makes one feel uneasy.
Actually, Xiao He felt the same way, not just Xiao Chen: "It's been a long time since I've felt this awkwardness when I first joined a film crew."
Xiao He was lucky. He got to know many people in the Shanghai entertainment circle from the very beginning and built good relationships with them. With Liu Rulan protecting him, he later invested in his own business and became a boss. So he could join film crews very easily and would often run into acquaintances. He didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable at all.
Later, when he arrived in Beijing, he got to know Zhuang Hongyi's entire faction. As a result, Xiao He basically stopped getting involved with other forces in the Beijing circle and just followed Zhuang Hongyi's projects. Through various connections, he got to know many people in the Beijing circle, such as Director Ning, Miss Yuan Sitong, Qin Lezhang (who had already collapsed), and people from Xingchen Pictures.
This time, however, the film crew they joined had no connection whatsoever with Zhuang Hongyi's capital. From the producers and directors to the actors and logistics staff, Xiao He barely knew anyone, and even Liu Rulan rarely interacted with them. They were all complete strangers.
This led to the situation on the scene.
Xiao He and his group were newcomers and hesitant to act. The rest of the crew didn't know what kind of temper Xiao He had in real life, but the "villainous movie star" had a fearsome reputation, so no one dared to get close. They were also afraid that if they tried to curry favor with Xiao He, it would displease him. So they all kept busy with their own things, afraid of being targeted.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
Soon, a person rushed out of the film set.
"Hello, Teacher Xiao! Hello, Teacher Xiao! Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Xiao!"
The man shouted as he ran, as if afraid that Xiao He would run away. He had a fawning smile on his face and was in front of Xiao He in the blink of an eye.
"Who are you--"
Xiao He looked the person in front of him up and down.
This is a man with an artistic and artistic air about him. He looks quite young, probably in his early thirties. His hair is so thick that it would make other directors weep. He also wears heavy black-rimmed glasses and has a smiling effect when he looks at people. He doesn't seem like an artist, but more like a shrewd businessman.
"You must be Coach Zhan? It's a pleasure to meet you."
Xiao He took the initiative to shake hands.
"Teacher Xiao, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Xiao Zhan."
Zhan Min held Xiao He's hand tightly, his tone exceptionally serious.
"Haha, I wouldn't dare. I'm just here to save the day, so I'll definitely follow your instructions, Director Zhan. How can I address you like that? That would break the rules."
Xiao He dared not call him Xiao Zhan directly.
Besides, he's younger than Xiao Zhan, so what's the point of calling him Xiao Zhan?
"Come on, it's hot outside, let's go in and talk."
Zhan Min gestured for Xiao He to follow, then led Xiao He to the lounge next to him.
The space here is relatively small, and there are only a few usable buildings and rooms, which are basically all used to store equipment, while the rest of the crew rests or works in tents outside.
It was already August and autumn had begun, but the daytime in Beijing was still a bit hot. Plus, the tent was so stuffy that it felt like you were being cooked alive.
Xiao He's gaze did not fall on the tents outside, but on a room next to the lounge.
The door to that room was covered with an A4 sheet of paper, on which the name "Ren Yibai" was clearly written.
In other words, even with such rudimentary conditions on set, a special lounge was still reserved for this gentleman.
Xiao He was somewhat moved.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a big-name actor.
For a moment, I even felt a little nostalgic.
I just don't know if this person can get along well with him.
