"Starling, isn't it a bird?" Lu Weiwei was curious.

"Maybe it's a birdman, right?" Gu Chen said.

As for the issue of unpaid wages for intermediaries, this was not originally a matter for the police to handle, but it involved the use of sharp weapons to hurt people, and caused serious consequences, so the police had to take care of it.

However, Tian Wenjun can be regarded as a clear explanation, and it seems that it is not the same thing as what He Junchao said before that he refused to confess, the key is that there is a problem with the method.

"Since people in the industry call him starling, presumably this old Lai starling also has some intersection with the crew. Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, "But, you have to provide me with someone who knows him, right?" If you can't find this starling, you won't be able to confirm whether what you said is true or not." ”

"I'm definitely not lying. Tian Wenjun raised his hand high and said: "I swear, everything I say in front of you is true, that starling, yes, he has a connection with the crew of "Slam Dunk: National Competition" that is being filmed in Jiangnan City, and I have also worked in this crew, and the director and screenwriter should know him." ”

"It turns out that you were a group actor in the crew of "Slam Dunk: National Competition"?" Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up when she heard that it was this crew.

"Yes, the eldest brother who made a cameo appearance in it as the protagonist's opponent has been performing in a group for more than ten days. Tian Wenjun said.

Gu Chen carefully recorded what he described, turned around and asked Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu also knows about this crew?"

"That's right. Lu Weiwei did not hide her love for this crew, and said: "This is a big IP in competitive movies, I have heard before, the director is a native of Jiangnan City, so I want to set the filming venue of the movie in Jiangnan City." ”

"And some time ago, the director also went to the major colleges and universities in Jiangnan City to audition, select some basketball players with good image and physical condition, as special actors of the movie, and conduct intensive training and guidance for them, I am looking forward to this drama. ”

"I see. Gu Chen also nodded and said with a smile: "Then Senior Sister Lu must know something about the hotel where the director of the crew stays, right?"

Lu Weiwei shook her head: "I don't know much about the hotel where their crew stays, but they shoot at the Jiangnan City Gymnasium every day, I don't know if it's starting work now?"

"Yes. Tian Wenjun hurriedly said: "They are in a hurry now, and there is also a group of people filming at night, the director must know the starling." ”

also knew that Tian Wenjun was now eager to prove the truth he said, so his attitude was also very sincere and took the initiative to provide important clues.

Lu Weiwei glanced at Gu Chen and said, "Senior Brother Gu, why don't we go to visit the class at night?"

"That's fine. He also wanted to finish Tian Wenjun's case as soon as possible, so he promised: "Without further ado, let's go now." ”

......

......

At seven o'clock in the evening, after avoiding the rush hour, Gu Chen drove with Lu Weiwei to the Jiangnan Sports Center.

There are not only sports facilities such as football fields, basketball halls, swimming pools and volleyball halls, but also many outdoor venues, bars, luxury car clubs, etc.

At night, it's often bustling with lights.

Gu Chen kept opening along the basketball hall and saw an eye-catching banner hanging outside the stadium door.

"Warmly welcome the crew of "Slam Dunk: National Competition" to stay in the Jiangnan Basketball Stadium for filming?" Lu Weiwei read out word by word, which was quite fresh.

"Looks like this should be it. Gu Chen said.

Then, parking the car in the parking space outside the venue, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei put on their police hats and walked along the entrance.

Seeing this, a security guard hurriedly walked out and said, "Two police officers, this is the filming location of the crew, what do you have to do?"

"We were looking for an actor intermediary named 'Starling', and it was said that the director and the main leaders of the crew could find him, so we came over to have a look. Gu Chen also explained his intentions straightforwardly.

The security guard was also stunned, and hurriedly said: "Then you are lucky, the director is here tonight, but it seems to be losing his temper." ”

"What's going on?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious when she heard the words of the security guard.

The security guard got closer and said softly: "Some of the leading actors are playing big names, and the director is very dissatisfied, this has been the case for the past few days, and the leading actor did not come to the shooting tonight because he was unwell, so tonight's job is to make up the shots." ”

"Understood. Gu Chen also nodded and said, "Don't get in the way, we're here to ask about the 'starling', and I'll pay attention to the tone of my voice." ”

"That's good. The security guard also opened the guardrail door and said, "Then you can go in." ”

"Thank you, uncle. Lu Weiwei thanked her, and hurriedly pushed Gu Chen inside.

It didn't take long for the two to pass through the safe passage and arrive at the main stadium of the basketball arena.

At this moment, many guide rails are spread all over the ground, and various shooting devices are also dotted.

Gu Chen found a man wearing a crew vest and asked, "Is your director here?"

"Director?" The man hurriedly looked left and right, and then pointed to the direction of the entrance of the toilet area B: "You go to the passage of area B, maybe there, I saw him talking on the phone just now." ”

"Okay, thanks. Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder and continued to rush to the passage of Area B with Lu Weiwei.

At this moment, a chubby middle-aged man was reprimanding a drama crew, and his voice was very loud.

The crew wearing the crew's vest didn't raise their heads, just listening to him for a while.

"You can't do this little thing? What use do you say? Ah? Our crew spends so much every day, can you take a snack? Can you make a lot of money. ”

"Yes, director, next time you must pay attention, you must pay attention. "There's little room for rebuttal.

"Get out of here. The chubby man also waved the script and told the drama to get out of here.

The drama clerk passed by Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei and left in a hurry.

Seeing two policemen appear at the entrance of the passage, the chubby man was also stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Which crew are you from?

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and then the two took out their police cards one after another and showed them in front of the fat man.

"We are police officers from the Criminal Investigation Unit 3 of the Seremban Substation. Gu Chen reported to himself.

"Is it really a policeman?" The fat man was a little surprised, lifted his glasses and looked at it, and found that the documents were real, so he apologized: "I'm sorry, comrade police, we have all kinds of roles in the crew, so I just mistook you for a staff member of our crew, I'm really sorry." ”

"I said that you filming, sometimes you really can't tell the difference between reality and fiction, are we like actors?" Lu Weiwei was also not angry.

"It's hard to ...... Isn't it like that?" The fat man looked at the two of them blankly, and then pointed at Gu Chen and said, "This police comrade looks extraordinary, I thought he was a special actor." ”

looked at Lu Weiwei, and the fat man said again: "And this young lady, you also look like one of my special actors." ”

Lu Weiwei was stunned for a few seconds, and then she laughed: "It seems that we have been low-key for so long, and you still found out, that's right, everyone says this about the two of us, saying that we are celebrity faces." ”

Seeing that the fat man was so good at talking, Lu Weiwei, who was a little angry just now, instantly felt much better.

The fat man also waved his hand: "Where can I speak, I really see that the two of them have some star characteristics, so I feel it." ”

"You're interesting, I like it. While enjoying the fat man's praise, Lu Weiwei asked him curiously: "By the way, where is your director? ”

"I ...... I am. I also saw that Lu Weiwei was looking for someone for a long time, and now that someone was standing in front of her, she even asked who the director was, which was quite embarrassing.

Lu Weiwei also fixed her eyes, and then hurriedly stepped forward and looked the fat man in front of her up and down.

"Eh, really, are you really the director Liu Yi?" Lu Weiwei reacted instantly, and then leaned back: "Damn, your official photo is so sloppy, how do you show that you are so fat?

also saw Lu Weiwei commenting on herself, and director Liu Yi also smiled: "Haha, those are all photos for propaganda purposes, they are photos and frauds, they are all what they looked like a few years ago, and they have been seriously blessed in the past two years, and they have become like this." ”

Lu Weiwei thought with her cheeks: "Everyone who is a director can lose dozens of pounds, but you have gained dozens of pounds, tsk, Director Liu, you really don't take the usual path." ”

"Where, where. Liu Yi also waved his hand, and then asked, "By the way, what are you looking for me?"

"We're looking for you......"

As soon as Gu Chen wanted to speak, Liu Yi's mobile phone rang.

Liu Yi immediately stretched out his hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first, and I'll be fine in a while." ”

"It's okay, you take it. Gu Chen didn't mind, after all, it was also a fact that the director was busy with work.

Liu Yi answered the phone and quickly communicated with the person on the phone, and the whole person gestured to his left hand from time to time.

"As I said, because I think all of your logical thinking is untenable, I can only say that you are too unprofessional. ”

Liu Yi instantly forgot that there were two policemen around him at the scene, and began to speak seriously directly to the other end of the phone.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and they didn't urge, the two of them crossed their hands to their chests and looked left and right.

Liu Yi suddenly kicked the wall and said angrily: "You should be honest with me, and then you think that you take into account this emotion, do you know how the audience will feel?

After a pause, Liu Yi said again: "But you sent it to me, saying that you want to take their emotions as the lead, I can't accept it, your problem exists, you are afraid that the actors will be uncomfortable." ”

"If you say that, I have nothing to say, you have been emphasizing and emphasizing, you estimate this feeling, that feeling. ”

There was another silence, and after Liu Yi's movements stiffened for a while, he changed his orchid finger posture and said: "OK, the actor only has the part of obedience, he has no qualifications to go according to his emotions." ”

"If something sad happens to him today, and you want him to play happy, do you want him to bring sad emotions into the play?

Liu Yi's tone became heavier and heavier, and he didn't seem to give the other party any face, and he communicated very strongly.

It was also after hearing some of the other party's words that Liu Yi nodded, and said, "OK, then you go and tell them, okay? Okay, OK, bye." ”

Hanging up the phone, Liu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

is different from the relaxed communication with Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei just now, when it comes to work, Liu Yi seems to be a different person, and the whole person is crazy like a lion.

In fact, Gu Chen has seen the director get angry in the crew on some TV, and it is quite rare for someone like Liu Yi to be angry.

After all, Liu Yi is also a famous young director, who has won numerous awards in the film industry, and is also a figure with a pivotal position in the entire industry circle.

But today, although Liu Yi, who is approachable in appearance, is a little too strong for work.

But there is one thing that Liu Yi did very well, that is, he said the truth, and did not over-greet the other party's relatives when communicating.

Although the fire is big, it is pointed.

"What's wrong, so angry?" Gu Chen also smiled and asked him.

"Oh, no. Liu Yi stuffed the phone back into his trouser pocket, calmed down and said: "Because, I think, when you find that the other party is wrong, you must tell him in a very strong tone and absolutely unacceptable feeling that it is wrong." ”

"He received it?" asked Gu Chen.

"Well, so he got it. Liu Yi also shrugged his shoulders, raised his head and asked Gu Chen: "So I just told the person on the phone, do you understand?"

"Understood. Gu Chen nodded.

Liu Yi spread out his hands and said calmly: "That's OK, this is the truth." ”

"Haha, kind of interesting. Lu Weiwei was also impressed by director Liu Yi's communication art.

Just now, I felt like I was going to go through the screen to find someone to settle the score, but now it seems that this is another person entirely.

Liu Yi also said with emotion: "I've been a director for a long time, it's not that I don't like to communicate well, but I understand a truth, that is, there are some things that we can't say well, so we can't be too polite to them." ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei also agreed: "Our domestic actors are all used to it, and the more accustomed they are, the more expensive they are, from the perspective of the whole world, they are comparable to Hollywood stars." ”

Liu Yi also smiled: "So it's so expensive, is the quality of our beeps good?" If it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip around, and then play a big name after you have the strength." ”

"Director Liu is fine, not the right thing. Gu Chen is still quite satisfied with Liu Yi's work style.

In fact, it is almost an impossible task to be a good person in the crew.

If the director is not strong, the actor is strong, and only when the director is strong enough to make the actor in awe, the actor will obediently put away the stinky problem and act according to the director's requirements.

After all, many of the current male and female leading actors are linked to capital, and capital dominates the starring roles.

In this way, it is bound to make the director dependent on capital and controlled by capital.

But Liu Yi did a good job, even if he couldn't choose a good actor, he wouldn't let the capital control him, but made good use of the capital and shot the works in his hand.

This is also why Liu Yi can stand out among many directors by relying on strong communication.

It is said that people have two faces, and Liu Yi is the same, communicating with outsiders and communicating with the staff can make Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei deeply understand the essence of the quintessence of changing faces.

Lu Weiwei smiled: "Director Liu is right, as a director, you should have this kind of professionalism, although I don't like this kind of communication very much, but what you said is very reasonable, haha, it can be said that your logical thinking is very practical." ”

"Yes. Gu Chen also said: "People are right, not to mention that this is an actor, it is something you must do, learn to control your emotions, and don't bring your personal emotions to work, this is the basic quality of an actor." ”

After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "I'm not targeting anyone, but what Director Liu said makes sense, an actor is to play this role well, acting is acting, even if you are crying, you should laugh when you enter the role, you have to laugh, every profession has responsibilities that should be followed, so it is not easy to be an actor." ”

Gu Chen's last sentence touched Liu Yi's heart, he smiled and said, "Isn't this the same as work?

"Work is work, you have to put your personal emotions aside, even if you cry until you cry when you get off work, it doesn't matter, but you must do your job well, right?"

"Makes sense. Gu Chen also nodded, and said with a smile: "Acting as an actor is the same as going to work, of course, there is no comparison in terms of salary, don't you have to go to work if you are not happy? ”

"That's right, comrade policeman. Liu Yi felt more and more that Gu Chen was a roundworm in his stomach, and he could say every word in his heart, and he couldn't help but admire:

"If only these actors could be as reasonable as you, comrade policeman, we would save so much effort to communicate. ”

"After all, many of these actors have deep pockets and no professionalism at home, and they have one set in front of their fans and another set when they work. ”

"Everyone has two faces, and many of the characters are pretended, such as a male star who worked with me before, because of the filming hand, his fingers were scratched. ”

"Good guys, he took the photo directly and uploaded it directly to his social accounts. ”

Now the fans are crazy, while saying that he is working too hard and has to take care of himself, he organized a team and scolded me on Weibo, saying that I was too harsh on their idols, and even greeted all my relatives one by one. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yi also couldn't cry or laugh: "You say, this actor's fingers are broken, this is called hard work? This is called hard work? So how do these stuntmen count? Anyway, I don't like obvious traffic, especially undedicated traffic." ”
