Chapter 206: Xena's Arrival
Liu Ye did a good job of keeping his girlfriend confidential, Zhou Bai got busy after graduation, it happened that he was too busy during that time, and Zhou Bai didn't have time to talk to him, last year he took over the TV series "Happy Street", which just started broadcasting in August, at this time Liu Ye had just joined the group, and the filming was so busy that he really didn't have time to pay attention to personal matters.
The one who came to visit the class today was the girlfriend Liu Ye made some time ago, and the little girl didn't tell Liu Ye, so she ran over, and when she found the crew, she happened to be seen by Yuan Yu, and brought it in after asking clearly.
"Brother, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Xie Na, who used to be a host, and now she is in Beipiao. Nana, this is my brother Zhou Bai, the one I often mention to you, and the one who brought you into the crew was my sister-in-law Yuan Yang. After the filming ended, Liu Ye took Xie Na to Zhou Bai and introduced Zhou Bai.
"Hello Brother Bai, it's okay to call me Nana, Sister Yuan, I talked to her just now, and I have understood. Xie Na was not stunned, with a bright smile on his face, he said generously.
"Hello Nana, you are Yezi's girlfriend, just call me brother with him, we were filming just now, so I have to bother you to wait a while, I hope you don't be surprised. Zhou Bai said with a smile.
"No, no, I came to visit the class without saying hello, just thinking about a surprise for Yezi, but I didn't do it right, I'm sorry. Xie Na hurriedly waved her hand and said, at this time she was still a very young girl, only 19 years old, with a big personality, not deeply involved in the world, and she was not the future Sister Po.
"It's okay, it's all your own people, don't be so outside. It just so happens that there are new actors joining the group today, so if you're not in a hurry, why don't you have a meal together. Zhou Bai said, it's time for dinner at this time, there is no night play at night, just eat together first.
"That's okay, thank you, brother. Xie Na made eye contact with Liu Ye, and then agreed.
There is a seafood restaurant in this town, which is basically a place for the crew to meet, this town is not particularly developed, but the scenery is very beautiful, and sometimes it is okay at night, just eat there.
After the filming was over, the staff was already putting a box lunch, Zhou Bai walked over and talked to the drama manager, and then took Liu Ye and Xie Na to find Yuan Xiang, just now she settled Xie Na and went to do other things, today the new actor joined the group, she didn't shoot the scene, so she helped deal with things.
"Senior Brother Hu and Sister Bingbing are here, it just so happens that you joined the group today, and Yezi's girlfriend also happened to come over to visit the class, let's have a meal together, and I'm also fine with the director, so I can pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." Zhou Bai walked into the office of the crew, and happened to see Hu Jun chatting with Yuan Yu and Li Bingbing.
"Isn't it a little too polite?" said Hu Jun.
"What's the matter, when you join the group to film, you have to say something, I won't pick you up and wash the dust alone, let's have a light meal together, and then celebrate when the finale banquet comes, senior brother, don't blame me for picking it. Zhou Bai waved his hand and said.
"That's okay, I don't have a problem anyway, what about you, Bingbing?" Hu Jun asked Li Bingbing.
"Then I'll thank Brother Zhou, I'm fine. Li Bingbing said with a smile.
……
In the Xianxiang Seafood Restaurant, a table of ten people just filled the table in the private room, Zhou Bai, Yuan Xiang, Teng Rujun, Deng Chao, Hu Jun, Chen Jiashang, Peng Haoxiang, Li Bingbing, Liu Ye, Xie Na, before eating, it is inevitable to introduce and then talk slowly.
"The people at this table can almost be said to be from the south to the north, if it weren't for the movie, they really wouldn't be able to get together, this is fate. Teng Rujun said with a sigh.
"Mr. Teng is right, if it weren't for Zhou Sheng's invitation, Haoxiang and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to come to the mainland, and we would have had some exchanges and cooperation with mainland filmmakers. Chen Jiashang nodded and said.
"Zhou Bai, how did you come up with the idea of making this movie? According to the current film market, it is difficult to recover the investment cost. Hu Jun asked, when Zhou Bai invited him to play the role of a doctor, he was shocked after learning about the investment in the movie, this junior brother is really good.
"Actually, the script of this movie was the idea I thought of when I was chatting with my friends, Yuan Yuan was also there at that time, a total of three scripts, one had been made at the end of last year, but it was a low-cost romance film, this is the second one. To be honest, I don't have much confidence in recovering the cost after investing so much money, but I think as long as I keep creating good movies, the market will have a reasonable return. Zhou Bai smiled, and then said.
"yes, it was a few friends drinking and chatting together, and he came up with a few ideas, and then he wrote a script. Yuan Yang nodded and said, the surprise that Zhou Bai gave her at that time made her never forget.
"Isn't that the love trilogy, all written by yourself?" asked Peng Haoxiang in unfamiliar Mandarin.
"It can also be said that one is a pure niche literary film, one is a commercial film testing the waters, and the other is an attempt to combine business and art, but if this film fails, the filming of the third film will be postponed, because I have to prepare the funds before I can start shooting. Zhou Bai nodded and said, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Zhou Sheng's courage is very strong, I didn't know about the mainland film market before, and after I learned about it, I realized that the investment cost of more than 10 million yuan took a big risk, but according to your high requirements for film quality, my years of shooting experience tell you that this movie is very likely to be successful. Chen Jiashang took a sip of tea and said.
"Lend you auspicious words, by the way, Sister Bingbing, the current filming progress is a little slow, and it may be delayed for some time, will it affect your schedule?" Zhou Bai asked.
"I have no problem with the schedule, Sister Hua is very optimistic about this movie, to be honest, I was a little resistant, but after reading the script, I liked it very much, and I could spend as much time as I could shoot. Li Bingbing said.
Listening to the people chatting at the table, a trace of envy flashed in Xie Na's eyes, she had also taken the Chinese drama exam, but she didn't get in, and then went to the Film and Television School of Shu Normal University in Shu Province, and her heart was also full of yearning for movies, she participated in film shooting as early as 96, and she mixed it for two years after graduation, not to mention movies, even in TV series, she also played a small supporting role, and the second female in "Happy Street" is already the biggest scene.
"Nana, do you have time? If you have time, you can play a small supporting role in our movie, since you are here, you can play a few more days, and by the way, you can also help me, so that I can save some actor fees, you just heard, I am very poor now." Zhou Bai noticed the envy in her eyes and proposed.
"Huh?" Xie Na was stunned for a moment, but did not react.
"First of all, I'm going to be a capitalist and seize this opportunity to exploit you, I can't afford a high salary. Zhou Bai said with a smile, and his words made everyone laugh.
"Okay!" Xie Na also laughed, her heart was excited, even though it was only a small supporting role in a cameo, she was also very happy.
Zhou Bai knows what Xie Na's performance is, she will not have no movie resources in the future, and she will also be a heroine, but the performance is indeed a failure, as long as there are members of the happy family to star, the probability of bad movies is extremely high, and it can be said that it is indeed not suitable for acting.
But it doesn't matter if the role of the small supporting role is there, with Chen Jiashang's training and Liu Ye's guidance, as long as you can pass, it won't affect the quality of the movie anyway, and by the way, it will be a favor, Zhou Bai thinks it's very good.
