Chapter 56
The next morning, Jian Qiao came down to find Jiang Liucheng and asked him to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
After eating, they went to the crew together. This time Jiang Liucheng finally had his own nanny car, and the company provided him with one and a driver.
When I walked out of the hotel, the nanny car was waiting at the door.
Because Jian Qiao didn’t have a car, Jiang Liucheng took him for a ride.
Arrived at the crew, most of the staff and actors have arrived, put on makeup and ready to shoot, everyone looks very busy.
But when they saw Jane Qiao, they would take the time to say hello to him.
It can be seen that his status in the crew is very high, perhaps second only to Director Qian.
Jian Qiao was in the production crew, and Director Qian called him over. It seemed that he had something to discuss with him. With the script in his hand, Jian Qiao said calmly, “I’ll come to you later, I’ll take Liu Cheng first. dressing room.”
Qian Dao originally wanted to say that he would find a staff member to take him, but suddenly he thought that Jane Qiao was rarely so enthusiastic, and his business was not urgent anyway, “Okay, then you can go to work first.”
Jiang Liucheng turned her head to Jian Qiao and said, “If you have something to do, you can do it first and leave us alone.”
“That won’t work.” Jian Qiao smiled, “I just rubbed your car over, so I’m sorry to leave you all like this, let’s go.”
When Jiang Liucheng heard the words, it was not easy to refuse.
Jane Qiao took him to the dressing room. There were many people in it, and actors large and small were doing their makeup here.
“Before the crew rented a place relatively late, so the space was limited, there were only two dressing rooms, and the other was used by several leading actors.
Jiang Liucheng asked back, “Why do you say that?”
Jian Qiao was taken aback, “You are not a small actor now, you are so popular, a celebrity like you would usually ask for a separate dressing room.”
Jiang Liucheng shrugged: “I don’t care.”
Jian Qiao smiled and said, “I was wrong. Then you put on your makeup first. I’ll find Director Qian, and I’ll come back to you later.”
Although there are more people in the dressing room, Jiang Liucheng doesn’t need to wait, because the company has assigned him a makeup artist. The makeup artist is called Lu Xiaomei, a girl with strong action. When he comes, he will find the crew. The stylist, Jiang Liucheng came over after negotiating with the stylist for today’s makeup. After more than an hour, the character’s shape was finished.
“Hello, can you make one for me too?” A young actor came over with a worried expression.
Jiang Liucheng recognized the actor, and when he first came in, he found that the other party had been sitting in the corner.
Jiang Liucheng looked at Lu Xiaomei with inquiring eyes. Lu Xiaomei’s eyes were curved. She had done makeup for many stars, but few like Jiang Liucheng would ask her opinion first.
“Yes,” she said.
The young actor was very happy, and quickly said thank you, “My name is He Yu, thank you so much, everyone is very busy, I waited for almost a morning, I was afraid that I would not put on makeup after my turn. .”
When Jiang Liucheng heard the words, he said, “Everyone is busy and should be able to understand.”
He Yu shook his head, “Small characters like us may be replaced at any time if the filming is delayed. I managed to win a character with a few lines, don’t look at just a few lines, fight for it. There are also many people, and if you don’t behave well, many people want to replace them, and…”
He paused, his voice suddenly lowered, “Don’t look at everyone in the same crew, there is actually competition.”
Jiang Liucheng suddenly became interested: “What competition?”
He didn’t shoot many scenes before, and he was a character with only one line or no lines at all. Usually, he could leave after one shot, so he really didn’t know much about this line of work.
After joining Cheng Qinghua’s crew, he was taken care of by Qin Lu and Cheng Qinghua. The crew were all good, and he had no chance to feel the cruelty of reality.
“If you perform well, the director thinks that you are a malleable talent, that your acting skills are good, and that you are very pleasing to the eye, and may give you a more and better role at any time. If nothing else, just say last month. .”
Afraid of being heard, He Yu lowered his voice even lower.
“Last month, there was an actor who had a lot of roles, but because of her poor performance, she NG many times in a row, which delayed the progress and made the director very unhappy. She replaced her directly and gave her role to another. An actor, that actor was originally a group performer, because he performed better and was remembered by the director.”
“Because of this incident, the atmosphere of the crew has been very subtle during this time. Those with good characters are afraid of bad performances, and those with bad characters want to do their best. Private competition is fierce. For things like makeup, if you don’t take the initiative , when someone squeezes you out, you can only wait.”
In order to thank Jiang Liucheng for letting the makeup artist help him make up, He Yu told him a lot.
A place like the production crew with only two dressing rooms is chaotic when there are many people, and some people’s thoughts can easily be overwhelmed.
He Yu added: “Some time ago, there was a star named Su Mingwei. He played the long-dead brother of the protagonist of Mist Kill. This person played very well in the circle. When he joined the group, he played several big names. But the background is relatively deep, something happened later, and I was arrested for participating in that kind of messy party with others. The director was replaced directly. Many people were eager to take the position. I heard that some people went to the director and screenwriter in the middle of the night, but the director was in A new actor was found outside to replace Su Mingwei.”
Jiang Liucheng blinked, he remembered that the character he played was the protagonist’s long-dead brother, “And then?”
He Yu smiled: “What else? Then, there are so many people who want this role, but it’s not the director who makes the final decision. By the way, after so long, I still don’t know your name? You seem familiar. Yes, have you joined the group before?”
Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “No, I only joined the group today. My name is Jiang Liucheng.”
The smile on He Yu’s face suddenly froze. No wonder he felt that the other party was a little familiar. This is not the actor who replaced Su Mingwei, and he is not ordinary.
The other party’s popularity in the past two months is extremely high, and he has signed a contract with Spark Company. The future is bright, and he actually gossips in front of the parties.
He Yu’s expression was a little uncomfortable, “That, sorry.”
Jiang Liucheng smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter.”
He Yu was relieved to see that he really didn’t look angry, and if he was a narrow-minded person, he wouldn’t have lent him a makeup artist in the first place.
“Thank you, with your current popularity, you can actually go to the dressing room over there.”
Jiang Liucheng hummed, “I don’t mind, I can go to any dressing room.”
He Yu nodded, “That’s true. Anyway, you bring your own makeup artist, which is more convenient. You just joined the group, so you probably don’t know a lot of things. Let me tell you something.”
Jiang Liucheng: “Okay, then it’s troublesome.”
He Yu quickly waved his hand, “No way.”
After the two finished their makeup, they left the dressing room. Knowing that it was not his turn yet, He Yu took Jiang Liucheng around the crew.
There are also differences between different crews. Just like Cheng Qinghua’s crew director is also strict, but he is only stricter when filming, and the overall atmosphere of the crew is relatively relaxed.
Director Qian’s crew is much more serious, because everyone is in a competitive relationship, and the director is also very strict in filming, the overall atmosphere is more serious, especially when they are busy, it is easy to be scolded for making a little mistake.
“In this crew, the big names are useless. The most important thing when acting is to be serious. If the progress of filming is delayed, the director doesn’t care who you are.” He Yu said.
“Okay, I remember.”
The more He Yu got along with him, the more he felt that he had no air at all. He was already very popular, but he was like a newcomer.
When the circle was over, Qian Dao saw Jiang Liucheng and called him over to talk about the play.
Only then did the crew notice the existence of Jiang Liucheng. In fact, just now they discovered a good-looking little brother, and only later did they realize that this person was the one who replaced Su Mingwei’s role.
Some people are very regretful in their hearts. When they first saw him and He Yu together, they thought they were just an ordinary little actor. Now that they know their identity, it would be a bit deliberate to do it again.
With the experience of Cheng Qinghua’s crew, Jiang Liucheng’s first scene went very smoothly.
Director Qian was afraid that his performance would not be good, so he wanted to be stricter, but he didn’t expect him to pass it once.
Although the young man is in his twenties, he looks like a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old. It is not against harmony at all to play a person of this age. The difficulty is only some complex emotions caused by the change of mentality in the later stage.
Because the crew has been in production for more than two months, and many of the previous scenes have been filmed, Jiang Liucheng needs to start from the back when he comes, so the first scene will be relatively difficult and requires more acting skills.
Many people waited to see him fail, but they underestimated him unexpectedly.
“No wonder Brother Qin is so impressed with you.” Jian Qiao came over and said, “The acting is really good.”
Jiang Liucheng took the towel handed over by the assistant and wiped his face, “They taught me a lot in the last crew, thanks to them.”
Jian Qiao: “When you finish filming today’s scenes, I’ll invite you to a barbecue and talk about the scenes that follow.”
Jiang Liucheng originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard the following words, “Okay.”
By the time we finished filming today’s scene, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening.
Jiang Liucheng originally thought that the filming would last until eleven or twelve, because Director Qian added a few more scenes for him in the afternoon.
He took off his makeup in the nanny car and changed back to his usual clothes. After a while, Jane Qiao came over, and they went to the barbecue stall together.
After arriving at the barbecue stall, Jian Qiao ordered a few dishes and asked Jiang Liucheng, “Do you want to drink beer?”
Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “I will be filming tomorrow. If I don’t drink it now, I’ll just drink water.”
Jian Qiao didn’t force it, “It’s fine if you don’t drink, but if you get drunk, it will affect the state of filming tomorrow, and Lao Qian can’t even scold me to death. He praised you several times today, saying that he was right to come to you. ”
Jiang Liucheng replied: “It’s not just me, but you both taught me the drama and helped me get into the character’s emotions faster.”
Jian Qiao laughed, “You are so humble.”
At this time, the mobile phone in Jiang Liucheng’s pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it was a message sent to him by Qin Lu, and opened it and glanced at it.
Qin: Have you finished filming today?
I’m serious: filming is over, and now eating out BBQ.
Qin: Are you alone?
I’m serious: no, there’s also screenwriter Jane.
