Chapter 140 Being urged to get married every Spring Festival
As expected, Wang Yuejun finally chose the second option, which is to use the "stand-in + close-up" method to complete the subsequent plot shooting.
To be honest, this is actually a very troublesome choice for the crew. Not only does the lens need to be redesigned, but the post-production, editing and cutouts also require extra energy.
But since it has been decided, Noon Sunshine will not refuse.
Similarly, Hou Hongliang, who went to visit, also told her that the subsequent plot about the role of "Cheng Jinyun" will definitely be adjusted. Especially when it comes to action scenes, there will inevitably be a lot of cuts.
Wang Yuejun herself didn't say anything, but her "agent" Chen Qian kept nagging her for a long time.
Hou Hongliang didn't indulge him, and told him directly that either you withdraw your investment and we will replace you, or you just shut up and listen to the crew's arrangements.
Of course, this is the tone of Hu Ge, who went to visit the patient, when he came back and recounted it, and the original words would probably be a little more euphemistic.
To adjust the plot, Meng Bai, the screenwriter, is naturally indispensable. He originally thought that everything was on the right track for the crew, and he just had to wait for the filming to be completed. Now, he was busy again.
However, he had no complaints. First, he received the screenwriter's salary from the crew, which was his own job; second, this incident also gave him a lot of experience.
Although Meng Bai's previous projects also had action scenes, he was lucky. Except for some minor bumps and bruises of individual actors, there were no major accidents.
So for him, this accident was also a reminder for him to pay more attention to safety during future filming.
This busy schedule lasted until the end of December. Meng Bai and the director team worked overtime to complete all the plot adjustments before the New Year.
"Everyone, see you next year, and wish you all a happy new year in advance." Meng Bai said goodbye to a group of staff.
For the crew, there is no concept of holidays. As long as they start filming, they will not stop until the project is completed.
Even during the Spring Festival, at most they will take a break from the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and then take a day off on the Spring Festival, and continue filming on the second day of the New Year.
Meng Bai bought a plane ticket on New Year's Eve, and when he left, he did not forget to say goodbye to Song Zhi.
Miss Song Zhi expressed strong criticism and envy for his behavior of abandoning his colleagues, leaving the organization, and going home alone to celebrate the holidays.
Because he didn't know whether he could finish his work before the New Year, Meng Bai didn't tell his family in advance.
So when he saw his son suddenly coming home, Meng's father and mother showed great surprise and confusion.
"What's wrong?" Standing at the door, Meng Bai looked at his parents with a puzzled expression on his face: "Don't tell me that you took advantage of my absence this year to practice the trumpet again?"
"What trumpet?" Meng's father came over and took the luggage: "Why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming back? We thought you would spend the year outside."
"I didn't finish my work until yesterday, and I decided to come back at the last minute." Meng Bai spread his hands and said, "Besides, this is also to give you a surprise."
Meng's mother said, "I am really happy, but I am also really surprised."
Seeing Meng Bai's confused look, it was Meng's father who finally explained: "We have decided to go to Harbin for a trip with your other uncles and aunts, and we will leave tomorrow afternoon."
Meng Bai: WTF?
"No, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, families are reuniting, why are you still going out?" Meng Bai looked confused: "The key is to go out. In the dead of winter, people go to Sanya and Dali. Why do you want to go north?"
"What do you know? This kind of northern city is best visited in winter." Mother Meng said as she helped him take off his coat and hung it up.
"..."
Meng Bai was speechless. When he thought he couldn't come back for the Chinese New Year, the images in his mind were all the public service advertisements of "lonely elderly people" on CCTV when he was a child, such as "busy, busy, busy" and so on.
As a result, now I find that the old couple's life is not as rich as mine.
But since it has been decided, there is no reason to cancel it. At least, they can spend the New Year's Eve together.
According to the customs of Meng Bai, New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival are spent at the man's parents' home, and only on the second day of the New Year can he "go back to his mother's home".
Lying on the sofa at his grandfather's house, Meng Bai listened to the annual "Spring Festival Gala background sound" while sending various New Year greetings on WeChat.
Unlike previous years when he focused on grabbing red envelopes, his main job this year has become sending red envelopes.
Arclight Film and Television Company Group, Arclight Alliance Discussion Group, "Soul Ferry" Crew Group, "Pretender" Crew Group, Leshi.com Entertainment Department Group, Central Academy of Drama Classmates Group...
If you want to say where Meng Bai is most popular now, it is definitely Central Academy of Drama.
In the past year, with Meng Bai's appearances at school several times, many of his former friends and acquaintances knew that he was the boss of Arclight Film and Television, which single-handedly opened up the online drama market.
There were quite a few congratulations to him, and there were also many yin and yang sarcasm, but more people's attitude was still shouting: "Big brother, please take me!"
Meng Bai's response to this was also very simple. No matter who asked, he uniformly said that if there was a project or script, he would send it to his email. As long as he felt good, Arclight Film and Television was willing to help.
He was watching all kinds of silly jokes in the group, and Meng's mother came over with a phone, looking tangled.
"What's wrong?" Meng Bai took a look and asked, "Did you only get 23 cents again when grabbing red envelopes?"
"Can I have such bad luck every day!" Meng's mother said unhappily, and then whispered, "Let me ask you something, have you been in love with that girl Xiao Song recently?"
Meng Bai's eyelids jumped when he heard this.
The "Xiao Song" that Meng's mother mentioned refers to Song Zhi.
When she and Meng Bai were still together, although they had never met their parents offline, they still had indirect contact with both parents when they occasionally called.
Meng Bai said calmly, "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
"I just checked the news and found that I received her New Year's greetings text message." Meng's mother handed over the phone.
Meng Bai took a look and it was true. Although it was not long, it was not the kind of copy and paste from the Internet.
This girl, how can she still make such a surprise attack?
After looking at the content of the text message again, he found that it was just a normal New Year's greeting. He said in a calm tone: "Oh, there is a new project recently. I happened to meet you in a film crew and chatted for a few words. Maybe they are just being polite, so they are sending New Year's greetings. After all, even if the deal is not
successful, there is still friendship." "Go away, what business, friendship, do you know how to use words, and you are also a screenwriter." Mother Meng patted him lightly, and then said with regret: "Alas, in fact, Xiao Song is a good girl, she is fair and beautiful, and has a good temper, but it's a pity..."
At this point, she looked at Meng Bai who was lying on the sofa in a lazy manner, and suddenly became angry.
"Didn't I tell you during the New Year last year that I would ask you to bring me a daughter-in-law this year? Where is she? Look at the daughter of Aunt Liu in the building in front. She went to school with you in the same year, and her child is two years old now; and your uncle Sun's son, he had a wedding last year, and told me two days ago that his wife is pregnant; and that little Sun..."
Meng Bai's eyes widened. Why did they suddenly turn to this topic?
"No, Mom, I'm in the rising stage of my career, how can I have time to fall in love?"
"Nonsense, you are not a star, how can you not have time to find a partner. You are promoted every year and you don't find one every year. If you are promoted for ten years, I will have to wait another ten years to have grandchildren?"
Meng Bai scratched his hair: "You say you have a good life, what's the point of always thinking about having grandchildren. If you are really bored, just quarrel with my dad, that's also a good way to practice your eloquence."
"Go to hell!" Mother Meng rolled her eyes at him: "I tell you, next year, or the year after next at the latest, if you don't bring a girl back, don't blame me for not appreciating the mother-son relationship of more than 20 years."
"Don't worry, I will bring a row of them, you can choose the one you like."
