Chapter 183 Before Joining the Crew
Besides, Mr. Qin's company is not profitable yet. Can she really expect him to pay someone to drive her to the crew for the sake of a nominal wife? She doesn't even dare to dream of such a thing.
Shi Feiye didn't think too much about it, it was just some gossip from an irrelevant person.
Meanwhile, after seeing off Shi Feiye, Qin Buzhu did not rush to drive after getting in the car. Instead, he called Zou Lianxun again. Zou Lianxun was sleeping at the time:
"Hey, second brother, what's wrong? It's so early in the morning. I didn't go to bed until four in the morning. Can you let me sleep a little longer?"
"Your second sister-in-law has already left for the crew. Have you informed the crew?"
Zou Lianxun wanted to bang his head against the wall. Second brother must be crazy:
"Second brother, you've told me about this twice, this is the third time! I've told Director Wang over there, so you can rest assured. Although the other party is not from our family, we have had a relationship for so many years. Besides, I've even moved you and eldest brother out. The other party has gotten to where he is now, so he shouldn't be so tactless and will definitely take good care of Second Sister-in-law!"
Qin Buzhu didn't say anything. Zou Lianxun sighed deeply, feeling like he wanted to die.
"Brother, I've even asked Director Wang to take care of my life, what else are you worried about? If you're worried, just don't let my sister-in-law go. Actors in the crew will inevitably suffer a little, but she's not an actor, she's a screenwriter, an assistant screenwriter, there's no reason for her to suffer."
"Now that everything has been explained clearly, there's nothing more to do. You can continue sleeping." Qin Buzhu hung up the phone.
Qin Buzhu has never been in the entertainment industry, nor has he done any business related to the entertainment industry, but he has heard a little about what is going on in the circle, especially when Zou Lianxun had just entered the circle, he was forced to listen to a lot. All he had to do was to show how much he valued Shi Feiye, so that Zou Lianxun would pay more attention to it.
It's not that he can't take direct action, but he is not in a very good state at the moment. His own deterrent power is not enough, and cross-bank pressure is even more difficult to operate. Unless it is absolutely necessary, there is really no need to make it so exaggerated. It is much better to let Zou Lianxun explain to the other party in advance and prevent embarrassing situations than to settle accounts afterwards.
Zou Lianxun threw the phone away. Considering that his second brother was so nervous about Shi Feiye, and it was Shi Feiye's first time to be a screenwriter, although he thought it should be fine, after thinking about it, he still called the Director Wang he mentioned. After all, he was good-looking, and it would be bad if there really was someone stupid and blind who offended his second sister-in-law.
After asking Director Wang for the list of actors and actresses, Zou Lianxun frowned as he counted them.
There is a male supporting actor with a bad reputation, and the male lead is a newly-minted young actor, and he is not sure about his personality. Zou Lianxun called his people:
"Hey, Dayang, help me check these two people. I need their information within an hour."
An hour later, Zou Lianxun was holding the information passed to him by Dayang, and his head hurt after reading it.
Not to mention the supporting actor, he cheated on several women when he was dating his ex-girlfriend. He even deceived female students on the pretext that their relationship was not public. Later he was caught and educated by his agent, and he restrained himself for the sake of his career. However, it is normal for him to flirt with small-time celebrities every time he enters a film crew, and this has become an open secret in the circle.
The young male protagonist likes to sleep with his fans, and always uses his good looks to get involved with the female stars or staff in the crew. Fortunately, he has his own financial sponsor, and he also knows the importance of things and will not easily get involved with people who are not interested in him.
Regarding the supporting male character, Zou Lianxun felt that although he reminded Director Wang not to reveal Shi Feiye's identity, the other party would definitely remind the supporting male character not to provoke Shi Feiye. As for the leading male character, since he would not get entangled with people who had no interest in him, then he should be fine.
It's not that Zou Lianxun said that with his second brother's looks and temperament, there are not many people who can match him. Even if her second sister-in-law is crazy, she would not give up her wealth and gold to settle for a piece of rubble. The looks of this young boy are only liked by young girls who have no experience in the world. When compared with his second brother, he will be crushed into dust in minutes.
In the open voice call, Dayang was still chattering:
"Master Zou, I'm not saying anything, but Dayu really doesn't know how to pick people. Take Zhang Yixin for example. He has a lot of traffic now, but he's full of negative information that contradicts his character. Isn't this what Qing is waiting for to ruin his character? It's just that the higher-ups don't let me do anything, otherwise they would have ruined him in a minute, so that Master Jiang wouldn't have to act like Dayu is unrivaled just for Zhang Yixin. I don't know where his confidence comes from."
"That's a relationship that they've developed through close interactions, and you can't allow them to see beauty in their lovers' eyes? After ruining Zhang Yixin, there are still Wang Yixin and Liu Yixin. As long as he's knowledgeable and interesting, it's okay to let him make some money in the circle."
Zou Lianxun had a headache and was in no mood to listen to Dayang's rambling:
"Okay, I've received the information and I understand the situation. Just go ahead and do your thing. I'll call you if I need anything."
"Well, I'll hang up now. Mr. Zou, you're busy."
After hanging up the phone, Zou Lianxun thought about it and felt that there was nothing he had missed, so he fell back on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and continued to sleep.
When Shi Feiye arrived at the crew, she found that accommodation had already been arranged for them and she breathed a sigh of relief.
This crew was relatively wealthy, otherwise if they encountered poor people they would have to pay for renting a place to live. Shi Feiye was very satisfied with the fact that he didn't have to pay for it himself. After entering the arranged hotel, he went to pack his things. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have to stay here for many days, so he had to pack well.
It was almost dinner time when the crew got together for the first time. They met the director, other staff members, and all the main star actors. They sat together at several tables in a row.
Normally, an assistant screenwriter like Shi Feiye would at most sit at the third table, but today she actually sat at the first table with the chief screenwriter.
The first table was particularly large, and around it sat the assistant director, stagehands, producer, leading actor and others.
Sitting on Shi Feiye's left was Haidong, and sitting on her right was an unfamiliar man. She felt a little uncomfortable being sandwiched between two unfamiliar men, but she didn't show it.
Hai Dong looked at Shi Feiye secretly when she just passed by. Originally, he didn't have any feelings for assistant screenwriters, but there were always such people appearing in the filming of dramas from time to time. Either they were talented and were recommended by others who wanted to learn from him, or they were arranged by the crew to help cover for him in case he had something to do, or the crew wanted to please him and let him be a ghostwriter when he didn't want to write.
However, he received a call from Director Wang this morning, who said that the assistant screenwriter this time was of high rank, and asked him to teach as much as he could, but not to offend him if he didn't want to.
Hai Dong and Director Wang have a good relationship and have been friends for many years. The other party has said this to him only a few times. He doesn't like people who rely on backdoor connections and was planning to throw him aside and ignore him. However, Director Wang quickly told him not to reveal the other party's identity and not to be too obvious about his favor. He also said that this assistant screenwriter is the author of this TV series and joined the team based on his own ability.
If that's the case, the other party does have some talent, because he has read the novel and it's pretty good.
This appreciation for talent turned into a hint of surprise after seeing Shi Feiye, because Haidong thought that the author who could write such a novel must be at least nearly thirty years old, not the young and beautiful woman in front of him.
After that, sitting together, Hai Dong did not speak, and his face did not show anything. He did not know Shi Feiye's background, but with this talent, he did not mind teaching her. A young, beautiful and talented woman always makes people willing to be more tolerant and caring.
Shi Feiye was playing with her phone, waiting for the directors to introduce themselves and give speeches, when a man she didn't know approached her, "I wonder what your identity is, beautiful lady? I haven't seen you before in other crews."
This man was none other than the supporting actor Wu Kui who made Zou Lianxun frown. He did not introduce himself to Shi Feiye because in his opinion, with his popularity, few people in the country would not know him, especially those who had joined the crew.
For those who join the crew, Director Wang will send a list to important staff members. Even if the staff members don’t know them, they will find out the information of these people in time. As the second male lead, he must have been known by the other party.
Now that the other party is sitting here without any reaction, either he has a family background and has no feelings for a star like him, or he is pretending to be reserved in order to attract his attention.
Wu Kui preferred the former, because ordinary people could hardly have such looks and temperament. If it was true, he would definitely make friends with her. If the other party was the eldest daughter of a certain group and she didn't have a boyfriend, then it would be a pleasant surprise to get rich by flirting with her. Even if the flirting failed, making friends with her might be a connection, which could be useful at any time.
If it happens to be the latter, that would be great too. With this appearance, it would be worth it if you could get it even if you spend some money. You can raise it as a house sparrow in the future, and you will be excited every night.
But Wu Kui was really wrong. It was a coincidence. Director Wang originally didn't care about an assistant screenwriter. This position often has no weight in the crew and is not worth the chief director's worry. After Zou Lianxun called, Director Wang quickly asked someone to compile a list and send it to Shi Feiye.
Just one minute before it was about to be sent to Shi Feiye, Zou Lianxun called Director Wang to ask for the list.
Director Wang thought that Zou Lianxun was asking for it from Shi Feiye, so after giving it to him, he never sent another copy to Shi Feiye. As a result, Shi Feiye is still in the dark, and only found information about the male and female protagonists on the Internet. The rest of the people are completely in the dark.
