Chapter 34 Kind-hearted people in the crew
Meng Bai's attitude towards the opening ceremony is "it's fine as long as it happens", so the whole process of the ceremony went very quickly.
Opening, lighting incense, bowing, burning incense, and finally shouting a few slogans together, the ceremony is over.
"This is the most efficient opening ceremony I have ever participated in." Li Qin and Zhang Ruoyun and Yu Yi beside him complained.
Other directors can't wait to worship the gods they can think of one by one, but Meng Bai, before he could hear who he was talking about specifically, had already inserted the incense into the incense burner.
"Whoever gets it is whoever gets it. No god can protect our small crew." Zhang Ruoyun's idea is the same as Meng Bai's. He also thinks that it's okay to go through the process, and there's no need to make it too complicated.
"Tsk, you men just don't pay attention to the sense of ceremony. You can tell at a glance that you don't have a girlfriend." Li Qin had an expression of "seeing through everything".
Zhang Ruoyun and Yu Yi looked at each other, with a hint of smile on their lips.
It is a very strange phenomenon that when faced with emotional issues, those who are taciturn are mostly in a relationship, while those who talk a lot are mostly single.
Among the people present, I am afraid that this girl herself is the only "single dog" who has never been in a relationship.
...
In addition to customs and mobilization, the opening ceremony is also an opportunity to promote film and television projects.
The "Pendulum" crew is naturally no exception. Leshi.com contacted entertainment reporters from several online media, including Leshi.com's own anchor, to come to the scene, take photos, and issue press releases, which is considered to be a warm-up for the show.
"Brother Liu, I'm from Orange Entertainment, you can just call me Xiaolin. I just started to cover entertainment news, and I don't understand many rules. I have to trouble you to give me more guidance." Outside the studio, a young boy said to the middle-aged man next to him with a respectful attitude.
"Orange Entertainment? Oh, you're from Lao Wang, right? No problem."
Brother Liu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't be nervous. It's just a small web series produced by a video platform. Except for the actress who plays the female lead, who is a little famous, few people know the rest. Just take a look at the photos of the female lead, search for similar reports before, and piece together a manuscript."
"Ah, is this okay?" Xiao Lin hesitated and said, "I think we should still interview them, at least talk about their highlights. After all, the crew just gave everyone a red envelope."
Brother Liu didn't care: "Isn't it natural for the crew to give travel expenses? Besides, it's just a low-budget web drama, and it's also a horror movie. What highlights can there be? Well, don't mention it. Didn't someone make a movie called "The Lonely Island" two years ago? It was also a horror movie. Hey, that was really a highlight!"
Brother Liu showed an expression of "you know", and continued: "Besides, even if you interview and report seriously, what will happen? These days, for a drama, you either need big-name stars, or you need to have a lot of people. There is no big-name director, or it is adapted from a hit novel. If there is nothing, who would watch it? "
Xiaolin, the young man, obviously disagreed with this point of view. He weakly retorted: "Not necessarily. I think there are many online dramas that are much more interesting than those big-budget TV dramas. Like Youku's "Never Expected", it is also very popular. "
Brother Liu sneered: "Hey, this kind of joke drama is just for fun. It can't be compared with serious TV dramas."
After that, as if to seek the approval of others, he said to a man who had been standing there from the beginning: "Brother, do you think what I said makes sense?"
The man was stunned, as if he didn't expect to be suddenly cueed to him.
However, he did not agree with what "Brother Liu" wanted. Instead, he agreed with Xiao Lin's point of view: "Whether it is a TV series or an online series, to put it bluntly, they are all telling stories to the audience. Since it is a story, naturally the audience will like to watch the one with the most exciting story?"
Brother Liu did not expect that his words would be refuted one after another, and he was a little embarrassed, so he said in the tone of an "old man": "You young people are idealistic. Wait until you work for a few more years and visit more crews, then you will naturally understand whether what I said to you is right."
After that, he looked at the man who had spoken just now and said, "I don't seem to have seen this brother before, which media is he from?"
"Oh, I'm from the crew."
"..."
"..."
Why are you, a crew member, talking nonsense to me for so long?
Brother Liu wanted to curse, but he felt that it would be even more embarrassing, so he coughed lightly and said nonchalantly: "Well, I'm going to talk to the director for a few words, you guys can go around."
After that, he held the camera bag tightly and walked away quickly.
"Hey, Liu..." Xiao Lin chased after him half a step, wanting to call Brother Liu not to abandon him, but the other party walked too fast and didn't have the heart to pay attention to him.
Looking at the man next to him, Xiao Lin said awkwardly: "Well, brother, I'm sorry for what happened just now."
"It's not you who said that, why are you embarrassed?" The man said with a smile.
Xiao Lin scratched his head. Of course, he knew it was not his problem, but he couldn't change this habit of embarrassing others.
"Are you a staff member of the crew?"
"I guess so."
"What's your name?"
"My last name is Meng, Meng Bai."
"Ah, Teacher Meng." Xiao Lin said politely, "Would you mind telling me about our drama?"
"Of course you can." Meng Bai said, "But I think what the big brother said just now is right."
"Ah, what?" Xiao Lin was a little confused.
Meng Bai smiled and said, "In our drama, only the heroine is famous. So from the perspective of the crew's publicity, it would be better for you to interview the heroine."
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, and then felt that what he said made some sense.
"Then can you take me to find our heroine?"
"No problem, I'll take you there."
Meng Bai led the young man to the crew, chatting with him as they walked.
Like "Have you just graduated?" "How long have you been working?" "What type of media is Orange Entertainment?" "Did you participate in the filming of the online drama "The Darker" on Penguin Video some time ago?" "How is their lineup?" "Has their director said when it will be broadcast?"...
"...So, they have to wait until after the New Year to broadcast it, right?" Meng Bai said in a casual tone.
"Well, it seems that they mentioned it, saying that it is to avoid conflicts with the Spring Festival holiday."
Hey, is this crew so big? And the photographer who was assuming the machine just now, it seems that he has been seen three times. Do you need to keep moving for indoor shooting?
Xiao Lin felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. Just when he was confused, he heard the "Mr. Meng" who led him to the way stopped and pointed to Li Qin not far away and said: "The heroine is over there, I will go and call her for you."
"Thank you so much." Xiao Lin said gratefully.
Who said that entertainment reporters are difficult to be? There are still many kind people in the crew!
Thanks to the big guys "Luo Su An Ning" and "Nangong Family Jue Ya" for the reward!
