Chapter 181: Iron Fist
didn't have the heart to stay at any more film festivals, Peng Xiangming filmed a short video in the hotel that morning that could barely be regarded as a film review, praised "Dangerous Relationship" from head to toe, and passed it to Dingdong, and then took the noon plane and flew back to Dalian City.
During the shutdown of the crew, the three-day holiday was neither long nor short, some people went to play nearby, and some people chose to fly back to Yanjing to rest for a while, so there was no one left in the two-story hotel that the crew had chartered.
However, Zhao Jianyuan, who was in charge of guarding the equipment and shooting materials, didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the room where these important things were placed, and smoked and played cards with Liu Keyong, Du Jue, and Chen Xuan, who also didn't leave.
Peng Xiangming made a phone call, knowing that Zhao Jianyuan hadn't left, so he quickly came over and knocked on the door, and then Zhao Jianyuan began to coax him, pulled him away, and looked out of the door, "What about people? goddess goddess?"
A room full of laughter.
Peng Xiangming was also amused by him, and gave him a punch with a shake of his hand.
"Grass!
lived in a house, he, Chen Xuan, both of them must know that Dai Xiaofei has always been Peng Xiangming's dream lover. So make a joke about this meme.
That's why they're the two of them right to make this joke.
Liu Keyong used to shoot MVs for singers, and he also made a few short films, the kind that cooperated with video websites, and cooperated with Peng Xiangming twice before.
He is the real assistant director.
Liu Mi's so-called assistant director is purely to hold a cup for Peng Xiangming, and it really belongs to the work of the director's assistant, but she can't help at all.
Du Jue is a classmate of the same level, not only Zhao Jianyuan had a good evaluation of him before, but since joining the group, Peng Xiangming also likes his work, this guy is very thoughtful about photography.
In short, they are not outsiders.
When they sat down, everyone asked nonsense, knowing that it was really just a dinner, and they all felt sorry for Peng Xiangming - "There was such a big scandal, it turned out that I didn't even smell it!"
Peng Xiangming smiled, didn't bother to pay attention to their ridicule, kicked Zhao Jianyuan away, and he sat down to play cards.
It wasn't until the evening that he turned on his phone again and saw that at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Dai Xiaofei sent a WeChat message: "Can't you say something soft and coax me?"
Ten minutes later, another one, "You're so ruthless!"
Peng Xiangming lay on the bed, held it and looked at it for a long time, but did not reply.
The next morning, he saw Dai Xiaofei's own refutation of rumors in an interview.
The goddess is still innocent, smiling at the reporter's camera, and saying as she walks, "How come! Don't report so indiscriminately! Peng Xiangming and I are classmates at the film school, and we have always been good friends! We both went to the film festival, and we just happened to meet, so we just had a meal together!"
............
On May 14, the crew restarted.
It only took two days to completely complete the filming plan of "Infernal Affairs" in Dalian City, and all the staff cleaned up, and flew back to Yanjing directly early the next morning.
According to the new schedule and speed of the re-evaluated filming plan, in Yanjing City, the crew will probably need another ten to twelve days of filming, and all the filming will be over.
It will be shortened by at least one month compared to the expected 95-day slot!
On that day, the whole group had a holiday, and they all had a day off, and the next day they officially started filming the rest of the indoor scenes.
Peng Xiangming put aside all external interference and concentrated on completing the last part of his first play.
During the period, Tang Fengxiang and Xu Jingwei came to visit the class together, and Wu Yun also came, because the theme of Xu Jingwei's next drama was set, and he was ready to shoot a love story of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty.
But Peng Xiangming didn't nod in the end, but just promised to wait for the script to come out, and then his own drama would definitely be filmed, maybe it would be cut, and then we would discuss it in detail.
The three of them couldn't do anything about him, but Wu Yun was particularly picky, and whispered to Peng Xiangming before leaving: "Jingwei wants to make this drama bigger, and the plan is to find a place to build the capital of the Ming Dynasty, if you are willing to come to film, the investment in this drama will definitely be 100 million yuan, and if you can't do 200 million, the scale is not small." I secretly promised you, as long as you play the male lead, the heroine is whatever you choose, let you bring your girlfriend, okay?"
Peng Xiangming smiled.
But he still didn't agree, only said that he would discuss it after he finished filming.
In the meantime, Kong Quan has been to the crew many times, and once, he brought a news called Peng Xiangming who felt both reasonable and slightly surprised: according to the grapevine, Qi Yutian was dismissed by the Conservatory of Music.
He was originally a visiting professor at the Conservatory.
At the same time, his positions as a member and member of all domestic associations and organizations have also been stripped away, and even his title of national second-class composer just a few years ago has been revoked.
It's a very hard job title, and it's hard to rate.
After stripping these things off him, it is basically equivalent to saying that all the social status and social honors he has accumulated in the music industry for so many years have been quietly zeroed out three months after the accident at the award ceremony of the Great Wall Awards.
Hearing the news, Peng Xiangming felt particularly relieved at first, but later, when the hatred subsided, he did subconsciously sigh helplessly: I can only say that this iron fist is too fierce!
Don't kill people, don't hurt people, when the matter just came out, the whole network was hotly discussed, but there was no movement at all, when you thought that the matter had passed, just press it quietly, and it was not announced to the public at all, and you were directly sentenced to social death!
However, who else can say anything other than lamenting that he is to blame?
............
On May 20, Zhou Shunqing secretly came to visit the class.
But her father was on the crew, and she didn't dare to do anything, so she could only find an opportunity to come over and say a few words.
When the girl looked at Peng Xiangming, her eyes were hot.
Eyebrows flirt.
On May 22, Yoomi returned with honors and returned to her position as assistant director.
Ning Xiaocheng's level is still so stable, "Sword Immortal Romance" became popular when it was launched, although Chu Hao, who played the male lead, was criticized by many viewers for his embarrassing acting skills, but he couldn't stand the overall story is very smooth, and in addition to being embarrassed, in fact, his acting skills are not so bad, so, with the popularity of the TV series, his popularity has climbed to a new level again.
The heroine Tan Qin also became popular.
During this time period, when the TV series started broadcasting on May 8th, the summer files in a broad sense had actually kicked off, although it was far from the peak, but most of the big-production TV series that could be avoided had been avoided, and "Sword Immortal" came out, and there was no opponent at all.
It can only be said that they stuck just right at this point in time.
Of course, Liu Mi is only the third female lead, and when it comes to popularity, she is not known how many ranks are behind the male and female protagonists, but she still enjoys the dividends of the TV series' popularity.
When the two of them finished making out and talking in the evening, they heard her say that the agent Zhu Mei gave her a cosmetic endorsement, which is said to be because people think she has the luxury of a big lady - don't underestimate this, for actresses, starting to receive endorsements for cosmetics means that you have reached a new stage.
In other words, you're already starting to have coffee.
Don't care about big coffee and small coffee, you have to be at least a "coffee" first, before you can talk about the size, right?
This is a particularly important watershed moment.
In other words, Liu Mi has finally become a "star" to some extent.
And it was similar to Qi Yuan's treatment after he became popular with the role of Cao Xiuer in "The Legend of Ping Niang in the Great Song Dynasty", and he began to take the initiative to find her with film appointments and scripts.
She was very proud of this, because she was finally on an equal footing with Qi Yuan again.
Moreover, she didn't rely on Peng Xiangming to recommend roles, she killed them purely by herself.
She felt that this was not a concept at all than Qi Yuan relying on Peng Xiangming to recommend roles, and then relying on the scandal with Peng Xiangming to become popular.
So, she's proud.
............
On May 27, in the southern suburbs of Yanjing, a large studio.
The camera focused on Chen Yongren, the actor played by Qin Yuan on the sofa bed, I saw that he slept unusually sweetly, and suddenly an alarm sounded, he moved, slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to look at his watch, lifted the leather jacket covering his body, was stunned for a moment, picked up the water cup on the coffee table next to him and took a big sip, took a deep breath, got up, and stretched, "Wow, your chair is really ...... Great!"
He got up and walked over, and the camera turned around, and soon saw his psychiatrist sitting behind the desk in the inner room, Li Xin'er.
She smiled, "Then you should buy one and go home, you don't have to come here to sleep every time." ”
Chen Yongren walked over and sat down, "You are more comfortable here, don't be so stingy!"
As he spoke, he bent over and put on his shoes, "For the past four months, if I hadn't come to sleep every week, how would you have time to play games!"
Li Xin'er retorted to him, "It's five months!"
She lowered her head and looked through the medical records, "There is still a month, your mandatory treatment will be over, and then you will be able to go home and sleep slowly!"
Chen Yongren was stunned for a moment, "It's over so soon, but I don't seem to have made any progress...... Recently, my head seems to be split, could it be schizophrenia?"
Li Xin'er seemed to understand what he meant, and smiled, "This is called a headache, I'll prescribe some painkillers for you!"
............
Behind the monitor, Peng Xiangming watched calmly.
At first, he was a little bit holding it, and wanted to use a blunt so-called "acting" to "act" the characteristics of Chen Yongren's role in all aspects, but as he acted, under Peng Xiangming's repeated beatings, he began to relax more and more.
Slowly, all kinds of so-called acting skills were thrown away by him.
In the past, it may work for him to put his set on the supporting roles in those TV series, but playing a role like Chen Yongren, Peng Xiangming obviously does not allow him to do this.
In fact, Peng Xiangming thinks that an actor like him has a face and acting skills, and he is quite perceptive, and the reason why he has not been popular in the past may be related to his acting method.
Luckily, he's very open-minded.
Halfway through the filming, Peng Xiangming dared to guarantee that after the release of this play, he would definitely become popular.
Sun Xiaoyan's acting skills are not particularly good, but there is obviously no problem at all in dealing with such a scene that is almost a cameo. Familiarize yourself with it twice and stabilize it.
It's just that...... She actually dragged it out until the last day, and it took herself three times to rush over.
This made Peng Xiangming feel a little dissatisfied.
Please, everyone's friendship is friendship, and bed affairs are bed affairs, and I am not rubbing face and not giving you money to make a cameo, one is that you took the initiative to act, and the other is that although it is just a scene, everyone has also signed a contract, knowing that you have been popular recently and are very busy acting, so I repeatedly agreed that you would push it back. If you still do this, it's a bit disrespectful.
............
"Tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone else. Actually, I'm a police officer. ”
"Me too!" Li Xin'er said a little mischievously.
Chen Yongren laughed.
In the midst of his laughter, Li Xin'er said, "Continue next week." Remember your dreams!"
Chen Yongren said: "Remember, I dreamed of you!"
"See you next week!" Li Xin'er handed over her prescription.
Chen Yongren glanced at it, "Is there really only painkillers?"
............
In the monitor, Chen Yongren looked back again before walking out of the picture, and then completely disappeared behind the door.
"Click!"
Peng Xiangming stood up and picked up the horn with a smile, "Now, I announce that "Infernal Affairs" is officially finished!"
"Yay!"
The audience burst into cheers.
The filming of the whole movie, excluding the holidays in between, only took 58 days before and after, even compared with several famous fast gunslinger directors in China, it is not inferior.
An Minzhi took the speaker with a smile and said, "Everyone pack up, tonight's finale banquet, please try to be there!"
The crew was lively.
The actor is the most convenient, simply pack up, carry a bag and leave, but everyone is not in a hurry to leave, it is still early, after all, they have been together for nearly two months, and everyone present at this time has shaken hands and chatted, said some parting words, and made an appointment to meet again during the publicity period.
The staff is the busiest.
All kinds of equipment need to be packed up, the rented ones should be returned, and the key points of their own homes should be checked and taken home.
Sun Xiaoyan came over and saw that Liu Mi was not on the side, so she whispered, "Are you angry?"
Peng Xiangming smiled, "No, there's something to be angry about!"
Sun Xiaoyan smiled, everyone watched, she didn't do any intimate movements, she just said in a low voice: "It's not that I didn't mean to drag it out, it's really a little tight over there, you know, I'm the big heroine in this play, as soon as I walk away, the crew will have to stop, no way, I have to work overtime over there, so I finally have to spare two days of work! I was wrong, okay, don't be angry!"
Peng Xiangming smiled, "Okay!
"Oh, I'm serious!" she finally couldn't help it, took Peng Xiangming's hand, and begged, "Don't be angry, okay? It's not that you don't want to come over as soon as possible!"
Peng Xiangming finally became serious and nodded, "Okay! This time, I accept your statement." ”
Sun Xiaoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked left and right, and asked, "Go to your hut at night?"
Peng Xiangming took a deep breath, and subconsciously looked left and right, "Not tonight, look at this posture, even if I don't drink and hang, I must be entangled in a lot of things, when will you leave?"
Sun Xiaoyan said: "At the latest, tomorrow afternoon, we will have to get on the plane! I only took two days off!"
Peng Xiangming nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning!"
Sun Xiaoyan laughed, "Okay!" and walked away.
............
In the evening, I found a fairly good hotel, and directly chartered a small banquet hall, and the whole crew even the actors and staff, including the actors who had left after the completion of the previous personal scenes, as long as they were in Yanjing, they also ran over, and there were hundreds of people and dozens of people, and they drank a lot.
Everyone lined up to toast Peng Xiangming at the main table.
To a certain extent, a crew can be understood as a Jianghu opera troupe in the early days.
The class owner takes everyone to find food, gives you a job, and pays you, which is a great favor in the circle of film and television behind-the-scenes personnel who have a strong atmosphere because of the nature of the work.
A toast is a minimum of thanks.
In addition, it is not without hope that Peng Xiangming will remember them and strive to find them in the next play.
As for actors, other people are okay to say, like Cheng Yu, he comes to act, which is considered cooperation.
But like Qin Yuan, like Sun Liheng who played Huang Zhicheng, originally one was a reluctant third-tier actor who acted in a TV series for more than ten years and was not popular, and the other was first selected to play Peng Xiangming's short film "Pure Heart", which became popular, and now he has been selected to play the most important supporting role in "Infernal Affairs", all of which are absolute support.
This is even different from the grace of the behind-the-scenes staff, this kindness is to be carried for a lifetime.
To the others, Peng Xiangming either touched his lips or took a small sip, but when they toasted, Peng Xiangming drank two glasses with them seriously.
It was lively until almost eleven o'clock at night, and it was not one or two who drank and hung up.
A few sober people, including Zhao Jianyuan and Liu Keyong, didn't need An Minzhi to personally greet this kind of thing, so they took the initiative to go outside the hotel, help call a taxi, and send people away one by one.
After such a busy time, when Peng Xiangming returned home in Liu Mi's car with a little bit of alcohol, and lay down on the bed again, it was already one o'clock in the night.
Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, he was rarely unwilling, and just sighed.
's first movie was actually filmed like this.
Looking back on it to this day, I feel a little dream-like and unreal.
And when Liu Mi came out of the shower as quickly as possible, she was surprised to find that Peng Xiangming had actually fallen asleep - she was stunned for a moment, walked to the bed, looked at the soothing smile he showed in his sleep, couldn't help but smile, leaned down, and kissed him lightly between his eyebrows.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep!" she murmured.
