Chapter 22: Unspoken Rules
In the morning of the same day.
Lin Xiaoguang, who was waiting for the crew of "Legend of the West Chamber", was temporarily replaced by the people called by Ding Dewu before he could shoot his soy sauce shot.
Wansheng Lou Hotel.
Harmony Court.
At 11:10 p.m., it was estimated that Lin Xiaoguang was about to come, so Ding Dewu beckoned the waiter and changed to a new pot of hot tea.
At 11:20, Lin Xiaoguang walked into the hotel.
Seeing Lin Xiaoguang come in, Ding Dewu got up, flashed out of his seat, shook hands with Lin Xiaoguang at the table and said, "Little brother, don't come unharmed." ”
Seeing that it was the assistant director who I met last time when I sent materials and wanted to invite myself to dinner, Lin Xiaoguang was confused.
"Hello director, do you have anything to do with me?" Lin Xiaoguang behaved very reservedly.
"Don't worry, sit down and have some tea first. Ding Dewu said, pouring him a cup of tea.
Seeing that Ding Dewu was very polite, Lin Xiaoguang nodded and sat down.
Lin Xiaoguang sniffed the tea, took a sip, patted the horse and said, "Good tea." ”
pondering in his heart, he didn't know what kind of dog skin plaster was sold in the assistant director's gourd, so he called himself from the crew to the restaurant to drink tea for some reason, Lin Xiaoguang felt very dazed.
However, Ding Dewu can't be blamed for this, generally speaking, when talking about cooperation, just talk to him generously, so mysteriously invite him here, naturally there is a cat in it.
As one of the many actors and assistant directors of Hengcheng, Ding Dewu's ability is really not small, in the preparation stage of the film and the preparation stage before filming, he usually mainly assists the director in selecting actors, contacting the creation and design of music art, modeling, costumes, props and other departments, in addition, he also has to help with the selection of locations, rehearsals and other work.
In the crew of "The Sword of the Third Young Master", Ding Dewu's job is to cast the crew, contact the group leaders under him, help recruit extras, special actors, and small roles, and guide them how to perform.
Ding Dewu, who has always been unprofitable, must have his own reasons for inviting Lin Xiaoguang to the hotel in private this time.
Lin Xiaoguang, who couldn't figure out the situation, drank three cups of tea in the box, but Ding Dewu just said something to him that didn't look for margins, and after a long time, Lin Xiaoguang began to sit still.
"Director, you called me here without telling me what you want to do, if it's okay, then I'll leave first. Lin Xiaoguang got up and said.
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it's almost time for dinner, so you can sit down and have a meal with peace of mind." ”
There is no free lunch in the world, such a simple and clear truth, Lin Xiaoguang still understands.
"I'm sorry director, I can't afford such an expensive meal. Lin Xiaoguang turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't, I'll treat you to this meal. ”
"No merit is not punished, no mercy. Lin Xiaoguang said, casually opening the door of the box.
"Lin Xiaoguang, you don't want to film anymore, do you?" Ding Dewu asked rhetorically.
"Director, what do you mean by that? How do I remember that I didn't seem to offend you last time. Lin Xiaoguang stopped, turned his head, and looked at him puzzled.
Ding Dewu smiled and said, "Yes, you really didn't offend me, and I didn't say that you offended me, in that case, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Lin Xiaoguang really couldn't stand Ding Dewu, and after making trouble for a long time, he still didn't let out a fart.
"Okay, you sit down for me first, and tell you the truth, I called you this time because I have something good to look for you. Ding Dewu said calmly.
"A good thing, a good thing?" Lin Xiaoguang became more and more confused by Ding Dewu's words.
"Do you remember what I told you last time?"
Lin Xiaoguang thought for a while and said, "Remember." ”
"Then tell me again, I'll listen. ”
Lin Xiaoguang sighed, he wanted to pat his ass and leave, but he hesitated in his heart, but finally opened his mouth: "You told me last time that young people should come over and run more when they are fine, and if there is a suitable scene, I will definitely arrange it for you." ”
Ding Dewu's words, when it comes to the latter sentence, Lin Xiaoguang seems to have understood everything at once.
Lin Xiaoguang asked knowingly: "Director, do you mean to say that you have a new play on hand that suits me, so you came to me?"
"Clever. Ding Dewu nodded.
"I ask you, are you still leaving?"
"Of course you don't leave, director, why didn't you say it earlier, I thought you just wanted to blackmail me for a meal, and then send me away......" Lin Xiaoguang scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Once born and twice matured, knowing Lin Xiaoguang's general personality, Ding Dewu finally stopped talking nonsense.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Dewu began to tell him about the injury of the actor Chen Long in the crew of "The Sword of the Third Young Master", and stated what he said to director Jin Demao again.
Ding Dewu said in detail, and even had a feeling of adding fuel and vinegar, and said how he bargained for Lin Xiaoguang and Jin Demao in a wonderful and high... The tide was so high that Lin Xiaoguang was almost moved to tears.
Facing Lin Xiaoguang, whose face was full of gratitude, Ding Dewu looked at it for a while, and then continued: "I know you want to come out very much, otherwise you wouldn't have sent the information to me, young people know that it is good to be motivated, but you can't be too greedy, you must know how to be content and know how to be grateful." ”
"You know, don't worry, director, I'm definitely not the kind of villain who forgets his righteousness. Lin Xiaoguang said with an oath.
Ding Dewu rubbed the teacup with his hand and said, "Okay, I will give you two choices now, one is to let you leave here immediately, and the other is to stay and eat with me, if you decide to choose the latter, you must listen to me unconditionally." ”
"This ......" Lin Xiaoguang was extremely conflicted in his heart, he didn't know what the so-called "unconditional obedience" meant, if Ding Dewu let him be a rabbit baby and unsubtly rule himself, then even if he died, he would never agree to this request.
Lin Xiaoguang asked uneasily: "Director, what you said to listen to you is that you will listen to you in the future?"
Ding Dewu said with a smile: "That's not necessary, you just need to listen to what I say when filming this film." ”
"Oh, that's the case, can you tell me, what do you mean by being obedient?" Lin Xiaoguang asked nervously.
"Your salary for filming this drama, we are four or six points, you are four and I are six. Ding Dewu said, took a sip of tea, and didn't look at Lin Xiaoguang.
“…… Director, isn't your request a bit too much? Our special contract in Hengcheng will only receive a maximum of 200 yuan a day, and I will give you 60 percent, and the union will deduct 10 percent from me, and I will probably only get a few dozen yuan...... What am I working for?" Lin Xiaoguang said unevenly.
Ding Dewu grimaced, and said with a straight face: "Lin Xiaoguang, Lin Xiaoguang, you are really ignorant! Who told you that the male number three who filmed TV series only received a few dozen yuan a day! What about sending beggars? I didn't split the account with you, and I was worthy of you!"
"Director, what did you say? I heard you right? You want me to play the third male lead...... Lin Xiaoguang looked incredulous, feeling as if he was living in a dream at the moment.
I saw that Ding Dewu stretched out his finger and knocked on the table hard, looking left and right to talk to him: "I'll ask you, do you eat this meal or not?"
"Eat, why not. Lin Xiaoguang sat down again.
Having said that, Lin Xiaoguang chose to eat, which means that he is willing to accept Ding Dewu's request to divide the account four or six times.
"That's it, waiter, order. ”
After the waiter came in, Ding Dewu picked up the menu and began to order silently by himself, directly leaving Lin Xiaoguang to dry.
"Let's have a West Lake vinegar fish first, and then a Taihe duck...... Hmm......" Ding Dewu said, thinking about what he would have to eat next for this meal.
"Director, you're so polite, you don't have to order so much, just have a plate of vegetables, we can't finish eating too much. Lin Xiaoguang said this, but saliva was about to flow out of his mouth.
Ding Dewu ignored Lin Xiaoguang, and continued to say to the waiter: "The soup is on the West Lake Ulva soup, remember, the Ulva should be torn into shreds by hand, don't cut with a knife, and finally order a concubine pine cake for dessert, okay, that's it, eat it easier today." ”
For this meal, Ding Dewu ordered three dishes and one soup, and added a dessert after the meal, and when eating, Lin Xiaoguang secretly meowed on the menu, and calculated casually, this meal would cost him two or three hundred yuan.
During the meal, the two of them asked and answered, Lin Xiaoguang asked, and Ding Dewu answered, but they didn't seem to be angry at all.
"Director, who are the leading actors in our drama?" Lin Xiaoguang asked with interest.
Ding Dewu said: "Yu Feihong, He Zhonghua ......"
"Yu Feihong, she is also in this play?" Lin Xiaoguang suddenly couldn't help but be a little overjoyed.
"That's right. Ding Dewu said.
Thinking that he was about to cooperate with Yu Feihong, Lin Xiaoguang was still looking forward to it.
To be honest, almost all of the female stars in China, Lin Xiaoguang have seen them in Hengcheng, no matter which aspect is compared, Yu Feihong is an extremely special existence, her voice is neither high nor low, the speed of speech is not fast or slow, gentle, measured, Lin Xiaoguang still remembers that she played the role of "Amazing Fairy" in the crew of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" - beautiful, wise, looking back and smiling, just like her name, which makes people feel like a glimpse.
Of course, appearance is secondary, Lin Xiaoguang is grateful from the bottom of his heart, Yu Feihong helped him plead with the director at the beginning, even if it was just a simple sentence, it was enough for Lin Xiaoguang to remember.
"Then do I play against her in the play?"
"Nonsense, you are a male number three, how can you play against the heroine?"
Hearing Ding Dewu say this, Lin Xiaoguang realized that he had asked too many questions and was too stupid, and he felt embarrassed, but he still couldn't help asking: "Okay, I'm talking too much, I'm really sorry, director, I'll ask one last question now, what is the relationship between me and her in our show? Is it a lover, or a friend, or?"
Ding Dewu said angrily: "Stinky boy, you think it's quite beautiful, and you still want to play a couple with her, do you still want to have a ** with her? Let me tell you the truth, she is playing your mother in the play." ”
"How can I ...... my mother?" said Lin Xiaoguang with a smile and a smile.
"How could it be. ”
"It's not...... Director, how old is she, why do you play my mother?" Lin Xiaoguang asked puzzled.
Ding Dewu sighed heavily and said, "Twenty-eight." ”
"Sixteen?"
"Do you think that by memorizing the multiplication formula, I said twenty-eight! Not sixteen! I just praised you for your cleverness, you are so stupid!"
Lin Xiaoguang: "Twenty-eight ......"
Ding Dewu threw the chopsticks in his hand and shouted loudly: "Okay, if you don't eat, I'm almost annoyed by you, waiter, waiter...... Pay the bill!"
After a while.
"Boss, 245 in total. The waiter handed the bill to Ding Dewu.
"Lin Xiaoguang, give money. Ding Dewu didn't even look at it, threw the bill away, and threw the bill directly into Lin Xiaoguang's hands.
"Director, didn't you invite me to dinner?" Lin Xiaoguang broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, unable to keep up with Ding Dewu's rhythm at all.
"Yes, I invited you to dinner, I treated, and you pay. ”
Depend on!
This time it was Lin Xiaoguang's turn to be speechless......
However, Lin Xiaoguang thought about it, in fact, it was nothing, only two or three hundred yuan, after all, Ding Dewu took the trouble to give himself such a good performance and money-making opportunity, and it was normal for him to invite him to dinner.
ps. Thank you for the reward of "how to dock", thank you.
