Chapter 123: The Drama (asking for monthly ticket)
The name "The Revengeful Heroine" sounds like a failure.
Zhou Xiaozhi told Yu Xiaoshu about this web drama during the Chinese New Year, and later Yu Xiaoshu saw the promotion of "The Revengeful Heroine".
How to say it?
Yu Xiaoshu didn’t know any of the leading actors in this web drama except Zhou Xiaozhi. The director was called Han Rong, whom Yu Xiaoshu had also never heard of.
This is a low-budget web drama.
Yu Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaozhi had said that they must tell him if they needed his help, but now it seems that Zhou Xiaozhi really doesn't want to trouble Yu Xiaoshu.
"You, you, you."
Yu Xiaoshu came to the three people who were gossiping, pointed at them and said, "Follow me."
"kindness??"
One of them looked at Yu Xiaoshu, who seemed a little unfamiliar, and asked, "What's your name, brother?"
"I'm the casting director of The Rumored Chen Qianqian. You can just call me Director Zhang."
Yu Xiaoshu looked at the three people and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Are you going or not? If you go, you'll be an extra, but there will be shots. Three days, 300 yuan, and all meals are provided."
"Yes, of course."
The three of them stood up quickly.
100 yuan a day is not bad, not to mention that you can show your face.
You have to know that being an extra to earn money to support the family is secondary. The main purpose is to take a chance and see if you can become famous.
At this time, the three of them said something to the group leader, and then followed Yu Xiaoshu towards the film and television base.
"Director Zhang, do we really have any shots?"
The younger extras couldn't help but ask.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Yu Xiaoshu said as they walked with the three of them.
If you are too nice to the savvy extras, they will think you are asking for something.
So Yu Xiaoshu didn't plan to ask them directly.
As for why he chose the three of them, Yu Xiaoshu said, "I was just about to choose someone, and you three had the loudest voices, so I chose you."
After hearing this, what else did the three of them say?
Everyone feels lucky.
The young one is called Dong Jun. Although he is only 19 years old, he has been here for 3 years and is considered a veteran. However, because of his short stature, he basically has no chance.
The older one is called Ma Qiang, he is 32 years old this year. He started out in Dongyang Cinema, but the competition there was more fierce, so Ma Qiang came here.
There is another guy who looks a little bit handsome named Yang Cheng, he is 23 years old, he is a college student and he came here to work part time to experience life.
"By the way, what happened to the crew of "The Vengeful Knight Girl"? "
Yu Xiaoshu chatted with the three of them for a while, then asked Dong Jun casually.
Dong Jun said indignantly: "The leading actress offended the director. I heard that she contradicted the director, but I don't know the details."
"Yeah, what was the heroine's name?"
Ma Qiang couldn't quite remember.
Yang Cheng said: "Her name is Zhou Xiaozhi. She looks like a cute girl, but she turned out to be... Oh."
"This is the reality. Unless you are a big star, a top star, if you contradict the director, the director will abuse you in ten thousand ways."
Dong Jun said in a mature manner: "So, I think that sister is in danger."
Next, through chatting with the three people, Yu Xiaoshu learned about the slapping scene filmed yesterday. Zhou Xiaozhi's face almost twitched.
On a film set, the director is sometimes an absolute tyrant.
If the director tortures the actors, he can even drive them crazy.
Whether it's mental or physical.
Just think about the actors on Earth who filmed "King of Sunglasses" and they are all questioning their lives.
The King of Sunglasses did it for the movie, while some directors did it simply to torture and sexually harass the female lead, and even pretend to do it for real during filming.
In short, the field of directing is like a vast forest with all kinds of birds.
Yu Xiaoshu needs to investigate what happened in "The Revengeful Heroine"?
He definitely wouldn’t be able to ask Zhou Xiaozhi the answer.
Then he can only investigate it himself.
Dong Jun and the other two obviously only knew that Zhou Xiaozhi had offended Han Rong.
But how did you offend him?
Why offended?
Dong Jun and the other two didn't know about all this.
Therefore, Yu Xiaoshu gave up the idea of continuing the conversation.
Ten minutes later, it was Jiang Bo's group from "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"'s turn.
Yu Xiaoshu turned around and said to the three people, "Wait here for a while, I'll go make some arrangements."
"Okay, Director Zhang."
Dong Jun and the other two spoke hurriedly.
Today, Jiang Bo's group in "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" filmed the scenes of Chen Qianqian and Pei Heng.
The main thing is that Pei Heng scolded Chen Qianqian for humiliating Han Shuo, but he didn't expect that Chen Qianqian would take the initiative to admit her mistake and apologize.
"I didn't like you in the past because you were willful and capricious. Since you ignored our engagement and forcibly took Han Shaojun as your wife, you should have treated him well. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn and not care about other people's feelings at all."
Hu Ming, the actor who played Pei Heng, spoke to Bao Nan angrily.
"Card!"
At this time, Jiang Bo shouted "Cut", then stood up and said, "Your emotions are not right, Hu Ming, don't be nervous. You should be angry, but more disappointed, disappointed with Chen Qianqian. Also, your character is always gentle and polite, so you should act like you are restraining your anger."
Hu Ming hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Director Jiang, let's do it again."
"No hurry, Teacher Bao, you need to touch up your makeup, it's a little smudged."
Jiang Bo said to Bao Nan at this time.
When he was about to say something, he saw Yu Xiaoshu coming over from a distance, so Jiang Bo trotted over to Yu Xiaoshu and said, "Teacher Yu, do you have any instructions?"
"Assistant Director Jiang, do you know Han Rong?"
Yu Xiaoshu said to Jiang Bo.
"Han Rong, I seem to have some impression..."
Jiang Bo frowned slightly at this time: "I seem to have heard of this somewhere. Yes, I remember it now. It was a director. I heard Lao Xin say that he was a piece of shit."
"Who is Lao Xin??"
Yu Xiaoshu asked.
"Oh, that's Xin Zhi. He is one of the storytellers I brought to you to read today."
Jiang Bo explained: "Teacher Yu, what's wrong?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked anxiously, "Where is Xin Zhi now???"
"Their scenes haven't started yet. I asked them to familiarize themselves with their lines next door."
Jiang Bo picked up the phone and said, "I called him and asked him to come over. He should be very familiar with Han Rong. But Teacher Yu, why did you suddenly think of asking about Han Rong?"
"There's something I need to know. I heard that Han Rong is also filming a web series at the film and television base. Can you see if you know anyone in the crew?"
Yu Xiaoshu said to Jiang Bo: "I may need your help with something."
"Also in this film and television base?"
After Jiang Bo finished calling Han Rong, he quickly said, "Teacher Yu, please wait a moment. I'll ask something."
"Okay, this matter is urgent, thank you for your help."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Jiang Bo.
"Teacher Yu, you are too polite. This is not a big deal."
Jiang Bo opened several of his groups and asked who was in the crew of "The Revengeful Heroine".
On the other side, Xin Zhi arrived in less than three minutes, after all, he was next door.
"Old Xin, I remember you mentioned Han Rong to me, right?"
Jiang Bo saw Xin Zhi and said quickly.
"Yeah, this bastard is trash, what's wrong with that??"
Xin Zhi was stunned: "You don't want to use him, but I don't think you can invite him. He recently raised investment for an online movie."
"Xin Zhi, why is Han Rong so trash?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked from the side.
"Oh, Lao Xin, Teacher Yu wants to know something about Han Rong. Tell us everything you know."
Jiang Bo winked at Xin Zhi.
Xin Zhi understood, and he said to Yu Xiaoshu: "Teacher Yu, this is it. I have worked with Han Rong several times in the crew, but this guy is a rubbish. He actually refined copper. This is intolerable. Because of this, I and other people in the crew almost beat him up."
"So that's how it is."
Yu Xiaoshu understood.
If he was refining copper, he should not have any other thoughts about Zhou Xiaozhi.
So how did the grudge come about?
"Does he have any other gossip?"
Yu Xiaoshu continued to ask.
"Well, there is one thing. People say that Han Dan is Han Rong's sister. I personally think it is true. Otherwise, how could a rubbish like Han Rong still be doing so well? And his directing ability is not that strong."
Xin Zhi thought for a moment and said.
Han Dan is currently the top actress in Xiaoma Entertainment.
It is not difficult for a sister to help her brother.
However, Yu Xiaoshu didn't care about such uncertain gossip.
He now urgently wants to know what happened to Zhou Xiaozhi in "The Revengeful Heroine".
The crew never has any secrets.
As long as there are familiar people in the crew, everything will be OK.
After a while, Jiang Bo said to Yu Xiaoshu, "Teacher Yu, I have a good friend in the props group of "The Revengeful Heroine". She will be off work at 6 o'clock and will have nothing to do. If you want to ask her, I will ask her to come over."
"What are her abilities?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked with a frown.
"She is very capable, and she not only maintains the props, but also occasionally makes the props herself. She originally wanted to be a lighting technician, but never had the chance..."
Jiang Bo said hurriedly.
"Okay then, tell her to come directly to the set later. I'll ask her something."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Jiang Bo: "This matter will be kept secret for the time being."
"Okay, Teacher Yu, don't worry, I know, I'll just say I have something to ask her."
Jiang Bo said: "Then I'll talk to her."
"Oh, by the way, there are three extras outside. The handsome one can be the musician of the Jiaofangsi. You can arrange the other two."
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu remembered Dong Jun and the other two outside and said to Jiang Bo.
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away. Teacher Yu, I'm filming Pei Heng and Chen Qianqian's scenes right now, would you like some pointers?"
Jiang Bo told his assistant to arrange the three extras outside, and then said to Yu Xiaoshu, "Hu Ming is still a little green. I feel like he can't bring out the essence of the character Pei Heng."
"Oh, come on, let me take a look."
Yu Xiaoshu said this and walked towards the camera.
"Old Xin, can you go find out if there is any gossip or other dark history about Han Rong?"
Jiang Bo slowed down his pace, turned his head and whispered to Xin Zhi.
"kindness??"
Xin Zhi didn't understand and said, "What are you doing?"
"What are you talking about? Teacher Yu took the initiative to ask me for help with this matter. Don't you think this is trust? And since Teacher Yu asked Han Rong, he must want to know all the information about this person."
Jiang Bo said, "I'll give you an hour to sort out all of Han Rong's information for me. Lao Xin, whether we can get Mr. Yu's training depends on this matter. If you don't believe me, take a look at Zhang Yi?"
"Okay, Han Rong's information is easy to find. I'll go right away."
Xin Zhi was not stupid. He understood it immediately and left quickly.
Outside, Dong Jun and the other two followed the assistant inside. Dong Jun asked, "Excuse me, where is Director Zhang?"
"Director Zhang?? Our Director Zhang is currently filming in Group B."
The assistant was stunned, then said.
"Filming in Group B?? The one who just brought us here..."
Yang Cheng asked in confusion.
The assistant laughed: "That's our teacher Yu."
"Teacher Yu??? Which Teacher Yu???"
Dong Jun asked, his voice suddenly getting louder.
"There is only one Teacher Yu in the entire crew of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". No, we can't just say "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". We should say there is also Baiqian Media, which also has only one Teacher Yu. Which one are you talking about?"
The assistant spoke of Yu Xiaoshu with great admiration.
"oops."
Dong Jun slapped his head fiercely: "It's a pity that I regarded Teacher Yu as my idol, but I didn't even notice that my idol was right in front of me. Can we see Teacher Yu now?"
"Not for now. Let me settle you down first. Your part will be tonight."
The assistant shook his head.
Dong Jun looked depressed.
He hated himself for being blind.
…
Yu Xiaoshu naturally didn’t know that the three people outside already knew his identity. Of course, it didn’t hurt to know, as he had never intended to hide it.
Sitting in front of the camera, Yu Xiaoshu looked at the scene just performed by Pei Heng and Bao Nan and laughed: "Hu Ming's performance was actually very good, but Bao Nan was too strong."
"kindness??"
Jiang Bo came to Yu Xiaoshu's side and asked, "It's not good to be too strong?"
"Of course, sometimes actors need to know how to balance and coordinate. If your acting skills are 100 points and the other person's acting skills are 60 points, then if you burst out with 120 points of acting skills at this time, it will only overwhelm the show, unless you want to compete for the role."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "You can see some malicious hype, which are basically clips of popular artists and veteran actors together. Often the popular artists act like they have facial paralysis, while the veteran actors' acting skills explode."
"Oh? This isn't possible?"
Jiang Bo was puzzled.
"Okay, of course, but what we need to do is balance the entire show. Hu Ming's acting is fine, and he's not the kind of guy with expressionless face. A good actor needs to lead the show. When you were filming The Undocumented Crime, you saw how Feng Jie and Bian Feng led Wang Chao?"
Yu Xiaoshu stood up and walked to Bao Nan and said, "Nan Nan, I..."
Xiao Guo seemed to be protecting his master: "Call me Bao Nan!"
