Chapter Seventy-Seven: I'm Coming!
The press conference lasted more than two hours, starting with guest interviews, then interacting with fans for various games and brand-tearing competitions, and finally the members of the fraternity answered questions from reporters together.
By the time the host announced the end of the meeting, everyone in the fraternity was about to collapse from exhaustion.
Xiao Ming refused the invitation to the dinner party of Zhejiang Blue Satellite TV, and after saying hello to the friends of the brother group, he hurried to Hengdian in a car.
The crew of "Monster Hunt" has been urged several times, and the crew has thousands of people from the director to the drama, and it is a huge expense to delay one more day.
Xiao Ming didn't care about it before he signed the contract, but after the contract was signed, it was all his money. When can't he eat food, but if he spends more money, he will earn less, and he will still calculate this account.
In fact, the dinner party of Zhejiang Blue TV is not simply a meal, but to help all parties make contacts. It's not that Xiao Ming doesn't want to go, he just feels that it's not yet this time, and what he is most eager to do now is to make one or several big-selling representatives.
Xiao Ming's popularity is completely brought up by "Let's Go! Brother", this kind of popularity is like a flower in the mirror, although it looks beautiful, but it is not reality after all, and the artist in the entertainment industry still has to rely on his works in the end.
Of course, the reason why Xiao Ming has the confidence not to go is because he believes that after "Monster Hunt" is a big hit, he needs to keep his voice down today to make contacts, and he will take the initiative to come to him when the time comes.
Playing red and black, turning faces ruthlessly, this is the essence of the entertainment industry. What kind of friendship and connections are nonsense, and the only thing that remains unchanged is interests.
The distance between Hangzhou and Hengdian Film and Television City is not far, and after Mengmeng drove to the crew, she just caught up with the crew to distribute boxed lunches.
Xiao Ming was immediately happy, and smiled and said to the director Xu Cheng who came to greet him: "Director Xu, how much is the meal, hurry up and bring me a share, I have eaten an egg since the morning, and my stomach is almost hungry." β
Xu Cheng looked at Xiao Ming's eyes, and saw that he didn't look like a fake, the smile on his face suddenly became a little enthusiastic, and he took Xiao Ming's arm and walked towards the crew, shouting at the assistant as he walked: "Xiao Zhang, hurry up and bring a boxed lunch for Boss Xiao!" If Boss Xiao is hungry, ask you." β
"Haha. There was a laugh in the crew, and the actors and performers looked at Xiao Ming's eyes and suddenly got a lot closer.
When the assistant went to get the lunch box, Xiao Ming asked Xu Cheng: "Director Xu, what is the situation of the crew now, and how is the filming progress?"
Hearing this, Xu Cheng couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and said with a wry smile: "The biggest problem now is that the time is too tight! However, the other plots have been made, as long as the actor's role is added. β
Xiao Ming nodded, what Xu Cheng said was similar to what he understood, he thought about it and said, "Director Xu, you can arrange a job for me after eating in a while." β
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Don't you need to take a break?"
Xiao Ming shook his head and said, "Time waits for no one, it's better to hurry up." β
At this time, Xu Cheng's assistant came over with two boxed lunches, and Xiao Ming and Xu Cheng took one.
After Xiao Ming opened it, he found that it was his favorite chicken leg rice, and he was immediately overjoyed, picked up the chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.
Xiao Ming didn't joke with Xu Cheng just now, he really only ate one egg since the morning, he was really hungry.
This is the rule of participating in large-scale programs, and artists generally skip meals and drink water in order to maintain their mental state and avoid the "three urgencies".
Xu Cheng is also a first-class director in Hollywood, and he has seen countless actors and stars, so he can tell at a glance whether he is acting or not.
Since Xiao Ming got out of the car, Xu Cheng has been observing him, and until now, seeing him eat a boxed lunch without pretentiousness, he is finally completely relieved.
Actors want to meet good directors, and good directors don't want to work with dedicated actors.
If you meet an actor like Yang Ying, who is a "cutout pit god", even if the director has Nuwa's ability to make up for the sky, it will not be enough for her to cause trouble.
"Has Boss Xiao ever thought about developing in Hollywood?" Xu Cheng took a bite of his lunch and suddenly asked.
Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Director Xu said that he was laughing, I haven't even understood the domestic entertainment industry, it's not a joke to go to Hollywood." β
Xu Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised, in the past two years after returning to China, most of the artists he has seen have an almost pathological worship of Hollywood.
Even some actresses, as long as they can enter Hollywood, even if it is an animated movie, they are willing to dedicate themselves to the director.
Xiao Ming is really not interested in Hollywood, it is not a matter of a day or two that Chinese actors are discriminated against there, he is really not interested in sticking a hot face to those people's cold butts.
Moreover, Huaxia is no longer Wuxia Ameng, with the rapid growth of Huaxia's economy, the development of the entertainment industry over the years can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, and the overall volume has long been no longer worse than Hollywood.
Obviously, there is a gold mine at home, so Xiao Ming will go abroad to dig up dung when he is crazy.
The current global entertainment landscape is that Hollywood bends down to curry favor with China, and the era of Chinese artists tiptoeing to get close to Hollywood is gone.
Xu Cheng is known as a genius Chinese director, and his IQ is definitely not bad. He looked at Xiao Ming's reaction, and immediately understood the young man's thoughts, and his mood was suddenly a little complicated.
The young people of this generation in China are completely different from when he was young, they have become more confident while working hard.
Xu Cheng is happy to see this happen, even if he has lived on the other side of the ocean since he was a child, but because of the relationship between skin color and blood, no matter how hard he tries, some estrangements can never be eliminated.
Xu Cheng used to be distressed by this situation, but as Huaxia became stronger and stronger, the eyes of the people around him were slowly changing.
Those who once disdained him have lowered their proud heads, and those who used to be good friends with him are becoming more and more friendly.
Xu Cheng knows that he hasn't changed, what has changed is the power that he has been hiding in his blood since birth, Chinese!
After lunch, the assistant director of the crew came over to talk to Xiao Ming, and in the afternoon he was going to shoot the scene where Song Tianyin appeared.
Xiao Ming had already got the script two days ago, and he knew that this scene was mainly to introduce the characters, and it was not very difficult. And he has watched "Monster Hunt" more than once before, and the plot of the opposite side is very familiar, so he shouldn't be too tired in the afternoon.
Since he has already filmed two leading actor scenes, although Xiao Ming's direct filming without rest is a bit sudden, the crew is familiar with the cooperation. As soon as Xiao Ming finished painting and came out of makeup, the props and group performances of various departments were already in place.
Xu Cheng stood behind the monitor wearing a peaked cap, the crew megaphone in his hand, and shouted loudly: "All departments prepare, action!"
The scene recorder stepped forward to play the board, the group performance began to enter, and the camera position also moved.
Xiao Ming saw the work efficiency of a professional crew for the first time.
With the director's order, the originally noisy set instantly became quiet. Everyone has their own duties, and the huge crew operates in an orderly manner like a sophisticated machine.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming not only sympathized with Su Xiaopeng.
Compared with the majestic director Xu Da, the hard-working Director Su is like a nanny on the set. shouted at the top of his throat every day, while shaking a small leather whip to urge progress, while following the crew to clean up the mess.
The assistant director looked at the camera that was already in place, and said with a smile to Xiao Ming, who was touching up his makeup: "Boss Xiao, do you remember what I told you about the position before, do you need me to show you again?"
Xiao Ming went through the distribution of the cameras in his mind, and then shook his head and said: "Remember, I'll go through it first, if it's not right, you can teach me again, so can you see it?"
The assistant director nodded hurriedly and said, "No problem." β
At this time, the makeup artist had already finished touching up the makeup, Xiao Ming nodded to the assistant director, and the assistant director turned sideways and let out the scene notes that followed him.
Holding a board with the plot scene written on it, the scene reporter walked up to Xiao Ming and said to the camera: "The first act, the first scene, start!"
Song Tianyin, played by Xiao Ming, didn't say a word, and rushed out behind a young man with a rag on his back and a basket on his back.
The two ran all the way to the village, and a group of people were watching the excitement at the entrance of the village, and it turned out that two fat women, one tall and one short, were fighting.
As the young man ran, he shouted loudly, "The chief is here, the chief is here!"
Song Tianyin squeezed forward, put down the back basket, and then separated the two women, and persuaded with a smile: "Aunt Li, Aunt Mo, everyone is from the same village... β
"Shut up!" The tall Aunt Li didn't give face to the little chief at all.
Song Tianyin was taken aback by him, and said stiffly: "The chief security officer is responsible... β
"Say it again!" The short Aunt Mo pointed at Song Tianyin's nose and had an extremely bad attitude.
"Are the clothes sewn!" the tall and short fat women asked viciously at the same time.
"Also... Not yet. Song Tianyin said timidly.
After saying that, as soon as he turned around, he was about to flee out of the crowd.
"Where to run!" two fat hands, not much worse than bear's paws, grabbed his shoulders at the same time, one left and one right.
"Cards!"
Xu Cheng watched the playback of the monitor, and then said to the assistant director: "Very good, this one has passed." Substitute on the field. β
Xiao Ming retreated under the guidance of the assistant director, and then saw a young man dressed like him, standing in his position with Wei Ya tied to his body.
The two fat women threw their palms back with force, throwing the stand-in backwards like throwing sandbags.
Looking at Song Tianyin, who looked like a gourd rolling on the ground, the two women were like children who had succeeded in pranks, and they laughed very badly with their hands on their waists, and their arrogance was simply sideways.
Xu Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and shouted loudly with the megaphone: "Card! Very good, this one has passed!"
Xiao Ming sat next to him and rested, looking at a stand-in who turned over and stood up directly after a carp, and his emotions suddenly became tense.
Xiao Ming was ready to tie up and coerce once, but he didn't expect the assistant director to choose a stand-in directly, it seems that the crew's time is even more urgent than he imagined.
