Chapter 20: Serendipity
Lin Xiaoguang's "broken house and hidden Jiao" matter, the party Lin Xiaoguang has not spoken, but Luo Jun, the gossip essence, couldn't bear it, and it was hyped in the circle that afternoon.
Regarding the gossip, Lin Xiaoguang himself doesn't care, anyway, he is above board, but this matter is about the name of the little girl, Lin Xiaoguang can only explain it to set the record straight, but this kind of thing between men and women, the more explanations, it is often counterproductive, and it will only get darker and darker.
What Luo Jun said was like water spilled out, Lin Xiaoguang wanted to stop it, but it was too late, since he couldn't stop the mouths of the people, then Lin Xiaoguang simply didn't pay attention to it, as long as someone asked, he would directly deny it.
After a few days like this, Lin Xiaoguang did not meet Yang Qingqing again, and there were fewer and fewer people around him who asked, and everything returned to calm.
Winter 1999, Hengcheng.
The set of "The Sword of the Third Young Master".
"Alas......"
Jin Demao, the director of this drama, has sighed three times in a row in just ten minutes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seem to be a little deeper, but he is only in his thirties, and he should not be under so much pressure when he is filming a martial arts TV series.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit the fire, took a puff, and watched as the stars slowly cracked the dull yellow tobacco.
"I said director, as for being so worried?" assistant director Ding Dewu was puzzled.
"You know, I've filmed a lot of scenes, every time I co-directed with other directors before, it was a smooth ride, but this time I finally did it alone, and I encountered such a bad thing. Jin Demao said.
"Why don't we quickly replace Chen Long and find a young actor to take over?" Ding Dewu suggested.
Jin Demao's face turned straight and said: "Xiao Ding, what you said is not right, do you think that Chen Long is injured, just change to another actor on top? People have nothing to do with us because of what happens to our play? Let me tell you! Your idea is not right! We are directors, and we make some money to earn a living, but to be a human being, we also have to talk about basic morality. ”
"No, Director Jin, you misunderstood what I meant, I understand your righteousness, but the crux of the problem is that the crew is the crew, not a temple to help the suffering, and we are not the compassionate abbot host, Chen Long, the actor, was injured, and we are both responsible for each other, but the investor didn't offend anyone?
After Ding Dewu finished speaking, Jin Demao didn't talk, took care of himself and smoked a stuffy cigarette, and slowly fell into deep thought.
As the chief director of "The Sword of the Third Young Master", this is the first time in Jin Demao's life to direct a new play alone, and his attention and devotion to this play can be seen.
In order to make the martial arts action in the play more real and energetic, before the start of filming, Jin Demao had already announced that whenever there are martial arts scenes in the play, every actor must be allowed to go into battle in person, and there is absolutely no need for a stand-in unless it is forced to do so.
In addition, there have always been too few realistic tricks in Gu Long's original novels, and most of the action directors are performed on the spot during the shooting, and then the actors themselves rehearse, however, this decision not only increases the difficulty of filming, but also increases the risk factor of injury to the actors.
No, the actor Chen Long, who played Ding Xiaodi in the play, was filming a scene to deal with a gang of bandits, because he did not dodge the sword stabbed by the other party, he was cut on his eyebrows more than an inch long, and after that, the dedicated Chen Long chose to continue filming in order not to delay everyone's time, replaced the bandage on his head with a band-aid, and drew an eyebrow on it.
However, the blessing is unparalleled, the disaster is not a single line, Chen Long thought that after experiencing this catastrophe, he could finish filming this drama peacefully, but unexpectedly, within two days, Chen Long accidentally fell from a horse in a horseback fight scene, broke the calf bone, and broke a tendon, the crew transferred Chen Long to a nearby urban hospital overnight for surgery, although the operation has been successfully completed, but there is a good saying, broken tendons and bones for a hundred days, Chen Long is gone, and the return is far away, and the filming process of the crew of "The Sword of the Third Young Master" cannot be put on hold.
Like Chen Long, Jin Demao himself is also an actor and graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, so he knows very well how hard Chen Long is and how hard he cares as an actor, and he really doesn't want to treat a dedicated young actor like this.
Just like Gu Long said, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, Jin Demao is just a rookie director after all, facing the double pressure of producers and investors, in order to take into account the overall situation, he had to compromise with reality, and finally chose to replace other actors.
After thinking about it, after smoking a full half pack of cigarettes, Jin Demao finally decided that the crew would stop filming for a day and urgently look for a new actor to replace Chen Long, who played Ding Xiaodi.
Who is Brother Ding?
According to the description of the original book, Ding Xiaodi is the illegitimate son of "Sword God" Xie Xiaofeng and "Tianzun" Murong Qiudi, and his parents have such excellent and terrifying genes, Ding Xiaodi's actor must naturally be young and handsome, of course, this is only the most basic threshold.
In addition, the actor who plays Ding Xiaodi must also have a bit of cynical temperament.
This arduous task naturally fell on the actor assistant director - Ding Dewu.
Ding Dewu is a person, he sees the wind and rudder on weekdays, and he is used to being opportunistic, the character of "Little Brother Ding" is the fourth male in the play, and the role is not too much, but it is a lot less, and the requirements for the appearance of the actor are quite strict.
Looking at the entire Hengcheng, the special actors under Ding Dewu are either too old, too short, or too earthy, and they are handsome and tall and have already gone to the film academy examination, who would come to Hengcheng to suffer this poor crime?
Ding Dewu, who was at a loss, returned to the hotel, and when he inadvertently saw the actor information that Lin Xiaoguang gave him last time, he was immediately overjoyed, and he couldn't take a break, so he hurriedly went to Jin Demao to report.
The drama "The Sword of the Third Young Master" can be said to be full of disasters and difficulties, from preparation to filming, big and small things are continuous, which only makes Jin Demao tremble.
As his pioneering work, Jin Demao undoubtedly attaches great importance to this drama, and after discussing other matters with the producer, Ding Dewu immediately took out Lin Xiaoguang's information and asked him to decide.
Lin Xiaoguang gave Ding Dewu the actor information, only paper copies, except for some performance resumes, there were no clear color photos, Jin Demao rubbed his eyes, looked at Lin Xiaoguang's dark photos again and again, and said euphemistically: "Xiaoding, is this Lin Xiaoguang you recommended really good?
Jin Demao was embarrassed to say what kind of JB thing this was, which was regarded as saving some face for Ding Dewu, who was the assistant director.
Ding Dewu didn't expect that the actor information that Lin Xiaoguang gave him was reluctant to take a photo, but it was actually this kind of printed drawing, looking at the inky black that he couldn't bear to look at directly, the same picture as a wanted criminal, he couldn't see the outline of his face clearly at all, and he couldn't even say the words of help.
Gulong drama has always been a rich and handsome world, and such a strange guy in the photo will never be allowed to get in.
But Ding Dewu had seen Lin Xiaoguang and knew his appearance, thinking of finding a justifiable reason to justify, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Director Jin, why don't I bring him to you for a look, what do you think?"
"This ......"
