Back at the hotel, Gu Dong sat on the sofa and relaxed herself. This was her state after being extremely tired.
She would let herself be in a daze and let her mind go blank.
"Ding Dong." The doorbell rang, pulling her out of her mysterious state.
When he opened the door, it was Jiang Ren.
"director?"
Jiang Ren's expression was stern: "It's time to call the director."
"Oh, Jiang Ren, what's up? Do you want to talk to me about something? Do you want to come in and sit down?"
Gu Dong made room for him.
Jiang Ren took a look inside. It was very clean and tidy, and the bed hadn't been moved. He shook his head.
"No, I'll bring you some medicine. Clean the wound on your palm and go to bed early."
Gu Dong accepted the medicine in a daze and closed the door.
Sitting on the sofa, he opened his palm and took a look.
She pinched herself too many times while filming the scene today, and her palms were scratched. She realized it belatedly and it was a little painful.
Gu Dong looked at the bottle of medicine again. It said "for external injuries" on it, which was just right.
I thought that although Jiang Ren usually seemed to only focus on art, he was actually quite considerate.
He's a really good director who can even notice such a minor injury on the actor.
…
The filming of "The Yong Dynasty" was more than halfway through, and Gu Dong gradually adapted to the pace of life on the crew.
He Ming often complained that this crew was the poorest they had ever been on.
Whether it is costumes or props, we try to save as much as possible, and the used props should be recycled, repaired and reused.
There weren't enough staff, so Jiang Ren personally went out to carry the camera and microphone...
Therefore, privately, the staff called him a stingy person.
He was really precise about what the daily budget should be kept within and how to ensure that the quality of the filming would not be affected.
"I heard the crew of 'River' is very rich. For the same salary, they only need to do one job, but we have to do so many."
"Exactly. I heard from my colleagues at 'River River' that Huang He often says that no one will watch our show."
"'River' is a big production. The sets and equipment there are really impressive. You'll understand once you see it. No wonder it's on CCTV."
Gu Dong often heard the staff whispering, and some young actors also complained frequently.
“It would be great if I could film ‘River and the Sea’, but it’s a pity that I came to this crew first.”
"That's right. If we were big stars like Huang He and could afford the compensation, we would have gone over there long ago."
"The stingy guy's requirements are too strict. I just moved my foot the other day and he scolded me."
"He's really stingy, you know? I saw him picking up props and putting them together with glue the other day, just like he was picking up junk."
Hearing that they were getting more and more outrageous, Gu Dong frowned and coughed twice.
"Don't go too far. If you don't want to stay in this crew, just leave. Talking bad about others behind their backs, the director is stingy and hasn't hurt you."
Both of them are young actors, and they dare not confront a female star like Gu Dong head-on, for fear that she will make things difficult for them.
So the two of them bowed their heads, apologized, and quickly slipped away.
"You don't have to be so angry about me." Jiang Ren actually heard everything just now, but he didn't care about other people's opinions, so he didn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, Gu Dong couldn't help but rush out and curse.
She put her hands on her hips and said, "Why do you always look so indifferent? They're really too harsh. If the investment wasn't insufficient, would you be so stingy?"
Jiang Ren looked at her angrily and couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, I don't care what others say, as long as I can film the show well in the end."
Gu Dong felt that he really had no temper and shook his head: "How can someone like you survive? You are too easy to bully, aren't you?"
"I'm not easy to bully. I just don't think such verbal attacks can cause any harm to me."
He is very determined and has been stubborn since he was young. No matter what others say, he will do what he wants to do.
Therefore, he doesn't think that what others say behind his back will hurt him.
Gu Dong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when you become famous, you can slap them in the face."
There was a hint of pampering in his smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
I thought the matter was over, but a few days later, an interview with Huang He from the crew of "River" was published in "Popular Movies".
In it, he pointedly said that some crews did not have enough budget, and even the director had to work with props, so they could not produce any good works.
Readers can immediately guess that he is referring to the crew of "The Great Yong Dynasty".
For a time, rumors were rife that Jiang Ren was incompetent, that the crew of "The Great Yong Dynasty" was poor, and that they couldn't produce a good film.
Nowadays, popular print media and entertainment newspapers are all stepping on "The Yong Dynasty" and praising "The River".
Gu Dong was very worried about Jiang Ren's condition, so he ran over to see him, only to find him on the phone.
"Yes, it's okay, don't worry."
Jiang Heng's tone on the other end of the phone was somewhat cold:
"What nonsense are the media talking about nowadays? They haven't even seen your work, so how can they know that 'River' will definitely surpass 'Dayong'?"
He seemed to be interrupted for a moment, and then said, "Son, do you need your father's help?"
Jiang Heng was always strict with his children. Jiang Ren rarely received such gentle treatment from his father, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but smile: "No need, Dad, I just want to concentrate on filming."
The person on the other end of the phone changed: "Jiang Ren, it's Mom. How are you? Are you feeling good?
Your dad is so angry. Mom rarely sees him so angry."
Jiang Yunuo was amused by her husband's angry look, but she was not too worried about her son.
This child has been very strong since he was young and is not the kind of child with a fragile heart.
Jiang Ren really said to her, "I'm fine. The news outside won't affect me. I just need to focus on being a director."
"That's good, that's good. Go ahead, mom and dad won't bother you anymore."
Gu Dong stood at the door and watched for a long time. Jiang Ren's voice when talking to his family was cheerful, not at all depressed as he had imagined.
She knocked on the door: "Director Jiang."
Jiang Ren just hung up the phone and turned around: "Gu Dong? What's going on?"
Gu Dong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's okay, I thought I was going to comfort you, and now it seems that you are fine."
Jiang Ren's heart skipped a beat at the outspoken concern, but then he returned to normal: "Yeah, it's okay, let's go back to filming."
The Yong Dynasty, Scene 85
Zhang Ci discovered Jiang Qingqing's undercover identity, but by then he had already seen through the emperor's stupidity.
Jiang Qingqing was discovered by Zhang Ci while she was passing on the message. In the critical moment, Zhang Ci did not report her, but instead lent a helping hand.
At this point, Zhang Ci also became Lu Yunchen's helper in overthrowing the Dagan Dynasty.
In the darkness, Gu Dong was running on the palace road. Someone was chasing him from behind, and he bumped into Li Yizhou in front.
Here, Gu Dong almost fell down, and Li Yizhou tried to pull her up.
They rehearsed this scene for a long time, but when it came time to actually shoot it, they still had to do it several times.
