The shooting location in the afternoon was at the Magic City Film and Television Park. Si Mingyu’s convoy went directly there at the agreed time.
There are a total of four bulletproof Maybachs. This is because if Si Mingyu, Zhang Ningxi and Lin Shirui travel at the same time, in addition to the three bodyguards who must follow them, they must also bring a three-person security team.
This is not an exaggeration at all. Given Si Mingyu's current status and position, it is not excessive for him to be cautious.
"Hello, Mr. Si." Director Wang immediately came forward when he saw Si Mingyu get out of the car.
"I didn't expect Director Wang to come here in person. Thank you for your help."
"It's not a bother, not at all. You're too polite, Mr. Si."
Although it was only a one-minute scene and any director could do it as long as the plot was explained clearly, Director Wang still flew over from Hong Kong overnight yesterday in order to meet with Si Mingyu. He couldn't miss the opportunity to build a relationship with a top boss.
Si Mingyu could naturally see that Director Wang was so proactive, but with his current status, he would encounter such things frequently in the future, so he didn't think much of it.
"Mr. Si."
Except for Hu Ge, many of the people who hosted Si Mingyu together yesterday were present. You know, he is now at the same level as Boss Ma and Little Brother Ma, so it is reasonable for these celebrity artists to do so.
The staff standing by were stunned. They had received a notice that morning that Director Wang of "Prosperity" needed to reshoot a few scenes. This was a common situation, as some TV series had to reshoot for several days or even more than ten days after review. So they prepared the set and equipment as required.
Just over half an hour ago, Hu Ge, Tang Yan, and Zheng Kai arrived. Since they were all cast members, no one was surprised. But then Xiao Ming, Yang Mu, Reba, Wang Kaijun, Jiang Shuying, Chaoyue, Zhang Binbin, Fu Qing, and Zhuang Feida all showed up, leaving the staff bewildered. What was going on?
It was not until they saw Si Mingyu arrive that they realized that the big boss was there.
The crew members took Wang Xinyan and Hu Ge to change into their costumes and put on makeup, while Director Wang saw that Si Mingyu was very interested in the filming equipment and began to explain to him the uses of these things.
On the other side, the others were accompanying Zhang Ningxi and Lin Shirui.
What happened yesterday made them realize how powerful Si Mingyu is in the entertainment industry, so everyone changed their minds and simply wanted to maintain good relationships with him so that they could be useful at critical moments.
If the big boss is not enough, then you should build good relationships with the queen and the imperial concubine.
Si Mingyu had Yang Mu invite Chaoyue and Fu Qing, but he himself hadn't spoken to them at all. Lin Shirui, on the other hand, was delighted. Couldn't anyone present understand what was going on? If Zhang Ningxi was the official consort, then Lin Shirui was the imperial concubine recognized by the consort.
Among those present, Yang Mu, Tang Yan, Reba, and Zhang Binbin had Si Mingyu's contact information because they knew each other for a long time.
Zheng Kai got Si Mingyu's contact information because of his roommate's birthday.
Zhuang Feida met Zhang Ningxi by chance at the airport and received her call and WeChat.
Jiang Shuying, as the spokesperson for Shiyu Jewelry Company, has Lin Shirui's contact information.
The difference can be seen from this point alone.
The boss will not give his mobile phone number to others easily, because giving you his contact information means that you can call him directly if you have something, which is a kind of recognition.
And people who have such network resources will not share them with others.
For example, when Boss Ma was drinking tea, he suddenly received a strange phone call. Boss Ma might not know the caller. If he said that the contact information was given by someone, then this person had better be influential enough to let Boss Ma do things for him without showing up himself.
Otherwise, if Boss Ma gets upset with someone, they'll definitely be blocked. And Si Mingyu is younger than many second-generation members, so his temper is even harder to predict.
So the most embarrassed among these people are Xiao Ming and Wang Kaijun.
He is a top star but doesn't have the contact information of any of the three people. It's not that he is too embarrassed to ask for it, but wouldn't it be very embarrassing if he was rejected?
Not long after, Wang Xinyan and Hu Ge came back after putting on their makeup.
Hu Ge's appearance and temperament are self-evident, but Wang Xinyan's styling is eye-catching and highlights her strengths.
Yesterday, after Director Wang got Wang Xinyan's photo, he immediately arranged for the stylist to make a plan. The set he personally selected from several alternatives was indeed recognized by everyone.
"Director Wang, you've taken some trouble." Si Mingyu praised casually.
"This is also for the filming effect." Director Wang said it lightly but he was very happy in his heart.
It was only after Wang Xinyan actually arrived on the set that she realized filming was completely different from what she had imagined.
She just laughed off the behind-the-scenes footage she saw in the short video, but when she was actually on the set, she not only had to face the camera but also a group of onlookers around her. If she was a little nervous and her expression was wrong or she looked to the side, she would have to reshoot, not to mention the actions and lines.
After all, he has to appear in the same frame with Hu Ge and show his face, not just a passing extra, so the requirements are naturally high.
Wang Xinyan tried several times but failed, so Director Wang quickly went over to explain the scene to her.
This shows Hu Ge's ability. No matter how many times he reshoots, his expressions and movements are always steady.
Fortunately, Wang Xinyan is an extrovert. She has performed on stage in school before and has been publicly confessed to by many people who pursued her. She can be said to have experienced "social death".
The previous few times were just because I was not used to facing the camera at the beginning. After Director Wang’s explanation and the demonstration of others, my performance was much better than before.
Although it still took me several attempts to pass, I finally passed.
The second act that followed showed significant progress, but it also required several retakes.
"I'm so tired, brother. I can't act in this scene anymore." Wang Xinyan came over to complain without even changing her costume.
The requirements for formal filming and amateur performances are worlds apart. If a look or a movement is wrong, it has to be retaken. She really can't adapt to shooting the same scene over and over again.
"It's all about giving you a fresh experience, that's all."
"Well, thanks bro, you're the best."
After several hours of hard work, it was almost five o'clock, so Si Mingyu invited everyone to have dinner together.
The atmosphere this time was less restrained and more casual than yesterday.
A post by Wang Xinyan on WeChat Moments instantly won countless likes and comments from friends.
This is a photo, with Wang Xinyan in the C position, and there are Director Wang, Hu Ge, Xiao Ming, Yang Mu, Reba, Tang Yan, Luo Jin, Wang Kaijun, Zheng Kai, Jiang Shuying, Chaoyue, Zhang Binbin, Fu Qing, and Zhuang Feida.
There was a sentence under the photo: "Thank you, Director Wang, and thank you, brothers and sisters, for spending a meaningful day with me."
