Director Gao, who was directing the play, also saw Meng Fu. He was about to say hello to Meng Fu when he heard what Meng Fu said.
This is strange. Meng Fu, will she ask him for help one day?
It is extremely rare for him and Qin Hao not to live under the control of Meng Fu.
Opposite Director Gao, Qin Hao, who was discussing his role with Director Gao, also turned to Meng Fu. He had already changed his clothes and was holding the script and laughing, "Rich woman, you still have the ability to beg Director Gao for help?"
Meng Fu looked up, moved the stool to the side, and said slowly: "I'm not a rich woman, and I don't have any money."
When did she get the title of rich woman?
Everyone who sees her will call out to her.
"Tell me first, what's the matter?" Director Gao put away the script in his hand, turned sideways and looked at Meng Fu who was sitting on a small stool.
Meng Fu said "Oh", moved the stool to a safe position, and then said: "Well, can you add a friendly guest appearance?"
Director Gao was stunned and a little surprised.
...
...
A friendly guest appearance, as the name suggests, is for the sake of friendship, to hold up the scene. The person who could make Meng Fu say "friendly guest appearance" could not be Li Qingning or Che Shao, right?
That’s right, although Director Gao doesn’t watch variety shows, he is also aware of the recently popular “A Day in the Life of a Celebrity”.
In the circle, not everyone can be called a friendly guest star.
At least you need some qualifications and status.
The script cannot be changed, but the director and screenwriter can still add a few shots without affecting the plot.
"Okay, I'll tell you about it then." Without affecting the plot, adding this friendly guest appearance is not a problem. Director Gao thought about it for a while, "I'll add it depending on what part you're filming at that time."
When the time comes, we can adapt to the situation and just give him the identity of a passerby.
Director Gao was quite easy to talk to, which was different from what she had imagined. Meng Fu stood up from the small stool and said, "Okay, Director Gao, I'll go in and change my clothes."
"Go ahead." Director Gao reached out and took the script that Meng Fu was going to shoot this time and handed it directly to her, "Try to finish shooting in these two weeks and release it as soon as possible."
Meng Fu and Qin Hao's scenes were arranged together. These two people also had a lot of notices, so Director Gao sorted out all the scenes. When the two were not in the crew, the scenes of others were filmed, striving to achieve the best efficiency.
Coupled with Meng Fu's one-take review, it brought invisible pressure to the actors in the crew, so that the progress of the entire crew was faster than the director had imagined.
Zhao Fan, who was following behind Meng Fu, saw Meng Fu leave and followed Meng Fu to the dressing room.
"What guest appearance? How come I didn't know about it?" Zhao Fan jogged after Meng Fu.
Meng Fu reached out and flipped through the script casually. Hearing this, she didn't even look up: "We just decided on the way."
Zhao Fan was just about to say, "You made the decision really quickly," when suddenly there was a loud "boom" and a thunder exploded above his head. The deafening sound made his heart palpitate.
It also interrupted what Zhao Fan was about to say.
"Why is there such a sudden bolt from the blue?" Zhao Fan looked out the window. The sunlight above her head was not as bright as before. She was a little worried. "Is it going to rain?"
It's a bit inconvenient to be in the mountains when it rains.
Meng Fu had already taken her seat and asked the makeup artist to put on her makeup. Hearing this, she looked out the window thoughtfully: "It shouldn't rain heavily in the next two days."
"How do you know?" Zhao Fan retracted his gaze and sat next to Meng Fu.
She remembered that Meng Fu had said more than once that the Taoist priest always carried talismans with him.
Originally Zhao Fan didn't believe it, but the master of "Xuanqing Temple" who has been very popular on the Internet recently made Zhao Fan have more imagination.
Meng Fu finished reading the script, closed it, put it on the table, and picked up her phone: "Weather forecast."
Zhao Fan: “…”
It's a bit of a waste of emotion.
Meng Fu didn't care what Zhao Fan was thinking. She turned on her phone, asked Yi Tong when he would come, and then swiped the video Charlie sent her.
[Ms. Meng, I overtook on a 180-degree curve in the shortest time of 22 seconds. 】
After reading the message, Meng Fu clicked on the video shot for him by Charlie's team. Charlie himself has a talent for racing, but his shortcomings in skills are very obvious because he has not received professional training.
Charlie had five videos shot in total, all of which were of overtaking on hairpin turns. The longest time was 28 seconds and the shortest was 22 seconds. On the track, the most score-drawing overtaking is on hairpin turns. International formal F2 races are almost entirely on turns, with a total of 30. If you are ten seconds slower than others on one turn, it will add up to almost five minutes.
Last year's champion Black Hawk had an average time of only 6 seconds on the hairpin, and he always drove on the inside lane.
Meng Fu patiently watched all the racing clips before replying to Charlie:
[Pressure speed. I've been practicing speed recently and kept my maximum speed at 200. 】
After replying, Meng Fu put down her phone and waited for the makeup artist to finish her hairstyle before going in to change into her clothes for filming.
Most of the scenes to be filmed this time are war scenes.
Meng Fu shot with Qin Hao and others for a whole day, and it started to drizzle the next morning.
Director Gao built both outdoor and indoor scenes, so it was naturally impossible to shoot outside when it rained.
Temporarily move the outdoor scenes indoors.
"We will make up for this part later. Let's shoot scenes 400-466 in the next two days." Director Gao stood in front of the camera, flipped through the entire script, and then said seriously.
The time of the leading actors in the crew is squeezed out.
He couldn't afford to lose too much time due to the weather.
After he finished speaking, Director Gao looked around the crew and didn't see Meng Furen: "Where's Meng Fu?"
Qin Hao had just changed his clothes and came over with a prop gun. Hearing what Director Gao said, he smiled and said, "It seems that he went out to see the surrounding scenery."
"The guest star is coming today, right?" Director Gao was stunned, and then he remembered what Meng Fu told him yesterday, so he turned to the screenwriter, "It's a man. I have two roles in mind. One is Qin Hao's brother who died without ever appearing. He can appear in the memory, but it's a bit abrupt. There is another one..."
Director Gao paused here.
The screenwriter obviously had the same idea as Director Gao. He raised his head and said, "You mean Jiang Li..."
Speaking of Jiang Li, the entire crew was very confused.
Originally, because of Jiang Li's acting skills, everyone in the crew, from top to bottom, admired her very much.
But no one expected that when Meng Fu got into trouble, Jiang Li's team actually openly pulled down and brought down the entire "Bourne" crew.
Although after the incident, Jiang Li specifically called the crew to apologize, saying that it was an announcement issued by her company and her Weibo account was not in her hands.
What Jiang Li said might be partly true. After all, the entertainment industry is like this. If anyone makes a mistake, your rivals can completely ruin your career without any black fans.
But even Jiang Li, who has always been cautious, probably did not expect that there would be such a big turn of events in Meng Fu's case.
With the Jiang family in front, all of Jiang Li's announcements were suppressed. Now she only has "The Bourne Legacy" left. Although Director Gao and others didn't say anything, the investors were very dissatisfied with Jiang Li. Not only did they delete the scenes that Jiang Li had filmed earlier, but they also deleted the scenes that were later in the film.
She was forcibly changed from the second female lead to the fourth female lead.
It’s also because Meng Fu and the original third female lead’s acting skills are good enough to hold up the role, especially Meng Fu, so the absence of Jiang Li in most of the scenes in the whole drama didn’t have much impact.
This time, Jiang Li came to film a death scene and was going to take the red envelope home directly.
In addition to the friendship scenes, in addition to being Qin Hao's brother in the play, there is also Jiang Li's "ex-boyfriend". He only has about three minutes of scenes, but this role is more outstanding than Qin Hao's brother.
Although Meng Fu always puts pressure on him, it does not affect his appreciation of Meng Fu. Meng Fu has excellent acting skills, good sense of variety shows, and her memory is sky-high in all aspects. Director Gao always has an accurate eye for people.
He had no doubt that Meng Fu would become an international superstar in the future.
So Director Gao is willing to give her some face for this friendship role.
Especially——
The people who made a guest appearance as Meng Fu are most likely Che Shao and Li Qingning.
After much thought, the identity of Jiang Li's insider ex-boyfriend is more interesting.
This ex-boyfriend's identity was originally supposed to exist in the play, but because of Jiang Li's incident some time ago, this role was deleted.
Now that this is the case, we need to give Jiang Li more roles to play opposite her.
"Go and see if Jiang Li has left," Director Gao thought for a while before waving to the stagehand, "Go and talk to her about this and ask her not to remove her makeup yet."
Jiang Li just arrived at the crew this morning, just to act out the last scene where she dies and receives a red envelope.
It has now been confirmed that she has been hidden by the entire team and the company. If nothing unexpected happens, "The Bourne Legacy" will be her last scene. After arriving at the crew, Jiang Li went to the lounge and has not shown up since.
**
Public lounge.
There are only Jiang Li and her agent here. After her downfall, the company took back the assistant, and both she and her agent were abandoned by the company.
This was her last announcement, and it was a scene she was filming with the popular Meng Fu. Neither Jiang Li nor her agent was absent.
Of course, the two also knew that the crew had reduced her role.
When she came in the morning, Jiang Li filmed the death scene and received the red envelope from Director Gao.
"You said Director Gao gave her more scenes?" Hearing what the stagehand said, Jiang Li's agent stood up from his chair, his gloomy eyes brightening up a little, "Thank you so much for troubling you!"
The stage manager smiled, looked at Jiang Li and the other person distantly, and left.
After he left, Jiang Li's agent turned around twice, holding Jiang Li's shoulders excitedly, his bloodshot eyes shining, "What did I say! Director Gao still appreciates your acting skills. Believe me, when you see Meng Fu and the crew later, apologize to them. With your acting skills, you will have a chance to make a comeback in the future!"
Jiang Li took a deep breath and stopped removing her makeup. During this period, she was exhausted and had used up all her connections, even her previous sponsors, but all she got in return was one sentence -
Shelter.
In the past, even if Jiang Li had not become famous, she was still a very powerful second-tier star in the entertainment industry.
Why does she need a second-rate crew to add more scenes for her?
"I understand." To be able to make it to this point in the circle, Jiang Li is also an extremely tolerant person. She changed her clothes and went straight out to find Director Gao.
The agent was with her.
Director Gao and the screenwriter have already written the content that Jiang Li will continue filming later.
"This is your line later." The screenwriter glanced at Jiang Li, paused slightly, and then handed the line to Jiang Li.
Although there was no contempt or disdain in the screenwriter's eyes, he was estranged from Jiang Li after all. After all, when someone in the same crew was suffering from public opinion, he did not help her, but instead stabbed her in the back.
No matter what the reason is, it is always disgusting.
Jiang Li pursed her lips, then took it. She didn't show it on her face. She thanked the others as usual, with her eyebrows lowered: "Thank you, Director Gao."
She thanked everyone else and went to read the newly written script.
The new script was not very long, only about a few minutes in length. Besides her, there was also a role played by her ex-boyfriend. After filming for so long, Jiang Li also knew the whole plot.
From this scene alone, she could see that her existence was almost dispensable, and her "ex-boyfriend"'s character was much more outstanding than hers.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could Jiang Li not know that Director Gao added this scene not only because of her, but more likely because of the "ex-boyfriend" in her segment.
Her part in the scene was just a supporting role for an unknown actor.
Jiang Li has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could she not see this? !
Her hand holding the script tightened slightly, and veins gradually appeared on the back of her hand.
Beside her, the agent also saw the script and could naturally tell what the new script was for. He pursed his lips and patted Jiang Li on the shoulder, "We also came this way in the beginning. Director Gao will also remember a favor from you."
Jiang Li took a deep breath and continued to memorize her lines.
Not far away, several staff members were talking, and they all mentioned "Meng Fu", "Qin Hao", "Teacher Li" and "Che Shao".
Jiang Li didn't want to hear this, so she stood up and was about to go to the lounge to memorize her lines.
Suddenly I heard the words "friendly performance".
Jiang Li had just raised her foot when she suddenly stopped.
"Be patient." The agent held Jiang Li's shoulders and winked at her.
Jiang Li closed her eyes, then opened them again. There was madness in her eyes, but she couldn't hold back the breath that was stuck in her heart.
She threw away the coat in her hand and sneered: "Didn't you hear me? Just for a friendly performance by Meng Fu's friend, you let me accompany you!"
The agent was shocked by her expression, "What are you going to do?"
"I, Jiang Li, don't need this role. What is it? It's just something made famous by capital. What works can she have that can compare with mine?" These days, Jiang Li is on the verge of collapse. Just because of a mistake, her seven or eight years of image in the circle collapsed. "Who cares about this extra role?"
She took off her coat and threw the script on the table, "I won't act in these extra scenes."
Jiang Li's death scene had been hastily filmed, and the red envelope and salary agreement also included it. She originally thought that Director Gao gave her these extra scenes as a chance, but now it turns out that they were given to support Meng Fu. How could Jiang Li be willing to accept this?
Anyway, she is already like this, it doesn’t matter whether she acts or not.
"Hey - you!" The agent saw her going to the lounge to remove her makeup and change clothes, and tried to persuade her a few words, but Jiang Li kept a gloomy face and didn't say anything.
When the agent thought about Meng Fu, he finally kept silent. Even if he was trying to please Meng Fu, Meng Fu might not appreciate it in the end.
Especially since Jiang Li is already like this now, adding a few minutes of roles will not change her at all.
In the entertainment industry, apart from those few who have already reached the top, no one can reverse Jiang Li's current situation.
The agent thought about it and stopped trying to persuade him. He turned around and took the script back to Director Gao.
"Excuse me, Director Gao," the agent walked over and said politely, "Jiang Li got caught in the rain when she came here today and is feeling a little unwell. I have to take her down the mountain to see a doctor, so we can't shoot the added scenes."
I was fine when I came to get the script just now, but now I’m sick.
Anyone knows there is something fishy going on here——
It’s not because of anything else that Jiang Li is unwilling to act.
Qin Hao couldn't help but put down the prop gun in his hand and turned to Director Gao. Director Gao's face did not change. He took the script and smiled, "It's okay."
A light sentence.
Jiang Li's agent took a deep breath, and when he saw that Director Gao didn't seem angry, he said something to Director Gao and quickly turned back to find Jiang Li.
After he left, Director Gao leaned back in his chair, turned to Qin Hao, and clicked his tongue.
Director Gao was not surprised at the decision made by Jiang Li and his agent. He was afraid that Jiang Li had heard from somewhere that the newly added character was Meng Fu's man.
She didn't want to add to the drama with this person.
Director Gao had expected this to some extent.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. The role of your brother has some substance, and your acting is as good as that of Jiang Li's ex-boyfriend." Director Gao closed the script in his hand and said to Qin Hao.
Outside the crew door.
Meng Fu, wearing a bamboo hat, was looking at the cliff one meter away from her with a frown.
It was raining lightly, and some yellow soil from the cliff was flowing down with the rain.
The sky was gloomy, as if it would rain but would never come.
As she was watching, a WeChat message popped up on her phone. Meng Fu swiped it open and looked down. It was Director Xu.
Xu: [Xiao Yi and I are here. 】
