At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran got up from the bed, took a cold shower, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room. Although "Before Dawn" is finished, the matter is not over, there is a press conference later, and there are other things, and he can't leave until these are finished.

Zhang Ran walked out of the hotel and called Zhang Jingchu, and got a reply that the other party had turned off the phone. He understands that Zhang Jingchu should be on the set at the moment, and in the strict crew, they often ask to shut down on the set. Because the actor's interpretation of the character depends largely on feelings, sometimes the feeling comes, enters the state, and suddenly someone's mobile phone rings, very disappointed, and has to start again, re-brew emotions, and sometimes can't get back the feeling for half a day, so the actor is very annoyed. When Christian Bale was filming "Terminator 2018", he was interrupted by the photographer because of his performance, and he went crazy on the spot, and scolded thirty-seven FUCKs in a row.

The crew of "Before Dawn" is very strict about this point, and Chen Baoguo even took the initiative to serve as the captain of the mobile phone law enforcement team. If someone's pager or mobile phone rings, Chen Baoguo will go to a fine and let the foul person take 200 yuan out to buy food for everyone as a punishment.

These days, Zhang Jingchu came to see Zhang Ran a few times, but Zhang Ran was busy from morning to evening every day, and he didn't have time to pay a return visit. Now that the filming is over, it's time to go and see it.

However, Zhang Ran didn't know where Zhang Jingchu was filming today, and now that Zhang Jingchu's mobile phone was turned off, he had no way to ask, so he could only come to the hotel where the crew of "Young Son of Heaven" was located. He checked the notice sheet of "Young Son of Heaven" in the lobby and found that they were filming in the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces today.

Since he was going to visit the class, it was impossible for Zhang Ran to go empty-handed. Every time Zhang Jingchu comes to see him, he will bring all kinds of food, and he must bring something. Considering that it is now the end of July. The weather was hot, so Zhang Ran bought two cases of drinks. Walked towards the crew of "Young Son of Heaven".

Outside the filming site, there were several field workers maintaining order at the scene. Zhang Ran walked over, opened the box, handed a bottle of water to each of the field workers, and asked with a smile: "Hello, I came to visit Zhang Jingchu, is she now in the crew?"

One of the field workers looked Zhang Ran up and down, rubbed his eyes, and asked in surprise: "You are Director Zhang Ran, right?"

Zhang Ran was stunned: "Yes." I'm Zhang Ran. ”

"I didn't expect to see you here! I like your "Time Prisoner" and I've watched it several times! When are you going to make science fiction films again? Domestic science fiction films are counting on you!" Chang Gong is a science fiction fan, and he was very excited to see Zhang Ran.

"There's probably a sci-fi film next year. Is Zhang Jingchu in the crew?"

"Really, that's great! Oh, you're here to find Zhang Jingchu, she's filming in it!

Seeing Zhang Ran holding two boxes of drinks in his hands, the field worker helped Zhang Ran hold a box, and then walked into the field with him.

After walking a few steps, Zhang Ran saw Zhang Jingchu wearing a broken flower flag costume embroidered with gold embroidery, and was performing with Deng Cao with a cold and indifferent face.

Zhang Ran himself is a director. Knowing that it was inconvenient to go over and say hello at this time, I watched from afar.

Zhang Jing performed well at the beginning, and soon, a set of shots was completed. Then the director announces that the shot is over. Zhang Jingchu was about to go to the side to rest, but suddenly saw someone waving at her, and looked at Zhang Ran. "Ah" shouted and trotted in front of Zhang Ran. His face was full of surprise: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Before Dawn" is finished, and there is nothing to do this morning. Just come and have a look!" said, picked up a bottle of drink and unscrewed it, and then handed it to Zhang Jingchu: "Drink saliva first, see that you are hot, and your head is full of sweat." ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Jingchu took the drink, took a sip, and smiled like a flower.

The other actors in the crew saw that a handsome guy came to visit Zhang Jingchu's class, and the gossip heart suddenly rose, and they came over with an ambiguous smile one by one: "Jingchu, who is this, don't you introduce us to it?"

Zhang Jingchu generously pointed to the nearest Deng Cao on the side, and introduced to Zhang Ran: "Let me introduce to you, this is Deng Cao, he plays the emperor in our play!" and then introduced to Deng Cao: "This is Director Zhang Ran, the director of "Time Prisoner"!"

"I heard Ning Hao talk about you, his "Big Diamond" was arranged into a drama version, you played the leading role, it is said that the performance effect is very good, but unfortunately I didn't have time, I couldn't go to the scene to see!" Zhang Ran looked at Deng Cao and said with a smile.

If Zhang Ran is not mistaken, according to the normal historical trajectory, when Deng Cao played "The Young Son of Heaven", he would get along with Hao Lei, who played the queen, until Hao Lei starred in the large-scale "Summer Palace", and the two broke up. But now that the role of the queen has become Zhang Jingchu, he and Hao Lei should be out of play.

"I especially like your "Time Prisoner", the idea of the movie is so good!" Deng Cao recognized Zhang Ran and hurriedly took the initiative to shake Zhang Ran's hand. It's a good thing for a rookie actor like him to know more, not to mention a director like Zhang Ran, who is favored by many and countless people.

Zhang Ran's impression of Deng Cao is not bad, he has seen a lot of plays performed by Deng Cao, and his acting skills are good, the only problem is that he is a little too violent: "I just watched a play you played, and you acted very well." If you have a chance in the future, we will cooperate!"

Deng Cao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Definitely, it is my honor to be able to participate in Director Zhang's movie, even if I don't need to be paid!"

Zhang Jingchu continued to introduce other actors to Zhang Ran: "This is Huo Siyan, she plays Concubine Dong E in the play!"

"Hello, director! I am good friends with Sister Jingchu, and I always hear her mention you when I am fine. I've been looking forward to seeing you when I can see you, and now I'm waiting for the opportunity!" Huo Siyan was not born in acting, but was inadvertently discovered by a director and filmed an advertisement for "Crystal Love", and since then he has entered the entertainment industry. She understands better than anyone else that in order to stay in this circle, she must accumulate as many contacts as possible.

"Hello!" Zhang Ran shook Huo Siyan's hand with a smile, and then several other actors, including Yang Rong, got to know each other, and then announced: "Meeting is fate, and I didn't bring any meeting gifts today." I think so, today I will be the east, and I will invite everyone to dinner in the evening!"

Deng Cao and they nodded again and again: "Then we are welcome, we must arrive then!"

They are all smart people, and they know that Zhang Ran came to see Zhang Jingchu. You can't be a light bulb yourself, you have to leave room for others. Therefore, after a simple understanding, they left very wisely.

It's a pity that the director didn't give face. Zhang Ran didn't talk to Zhang Jingchu for a few words, and the assistant director came over to ask Zhang Jingchu to film.

Wait until half past eleven. The crew announced a break. Zhang Ran took Zhang Jingchu out to eat. During this time, the two talked about "Bursting Drummer", and Zhang Ran reminded: "The film will be sent to the Tokyo Film Festival to compete, and the Tokyo Film Festival is different from the Fantasy Film Festival, the attention is very high, and you must prepare a dress." This must be prepared in advance, otherwise it will be too late, don't forget!"

Zhang Jingchu nodded, and then smiled: "I haven't walked the red carpet yet, I want to experience it this time!"

Had lunch. Zhang Ran returned to the crew of "Before Dawn" and asked the crew to send a bus to send the students in the class to Yiwu. The students are done with the semester and it's time for them to go home.

On the morning of the next day, the crew of "Before Dawn" held a press conference at the International Trade Building. All major media across the country rushed over, and the scene was crowded. They pondered what questions they were going to ask while they waited for the press conference to take place.

The TV series "Before Dawn" is the most anticipated TV series of the year, director Zhang Jiandong has made TV series and made a hit in the past two years, and two big names, Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo, have joined. Coupled with Zhang Ran, a new director who has attracted attention, both the media and ordinary audiences are full of expectations for this TV series.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jiandong brought Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, and Zuo Xiaoqing to the scene of the press conference. In a flash. The flash flashed wildly, the intense white light flashed non-stop, and the camera shutter clicked incessantly.

Zhang Ran glanced at it. The location of the scene was filled with dense media, and even the aisles were full of media reporters. He knew that Chen Zhenghong had put a lot of effort into this press conference. The invitation of so many media is to create momentum and create an atmosphere where "Before Dawn" has not been broadcast first. In this way, the next premiere bidding will be able to break the high price.

Zhang Ran glanced at everyone, everyone's reactions were different, Zuo Xiaoqing was a little uncomfortable, although she was looking straight ahead, with a smile on her face, she could feel her nervousness; Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo were very indifferent, it was like participating in a tea party class.

The press conference soon began, first the producer, and the director thanked the media for their support, and then talked about their views on the play. Zhang Ran, as a director, naturally has to talk about his own opinions, but he knows that reporters come to find news points, and if he talks nonsense endlessly, reporters will definitely be unhappy, and if reporters are unhappy, their pens may be emotional, and then write uncomfortable things. So, he just talked a few words and left time for the reporters to ask questions.

When Zhang Ran finished speaking, the reporters became excited, and it was time for everyone to ask questions. A female reporter took the lead in raising her hand, he stood up and asked: "Director Zhang Ran, you are a very good director, many people are very optimistic about you, Director Zhang Jiandong is also a very good director, directed sensational TV series such as "The True Colors of the Criminal Police" and "Don't Talk to Strangers", I don't know which of you in the crew listens to whom?"

Zhang Ran glanced at the reporter who asked the question, this question is not easy to answer, it involves the relationship between him and Zhang Jiandong, if one is not good, he may be made a big fuss by these reporters. He smiled and said: "This beauty, I only joined the crew a month after the filming of "Before Dawn" started, and I must be a deputy, otherwise the crew would not be able to operate, right? Director Zhang Jiandong and I often discuss filming issues, and sometimes quarrel, but he never uses the authority of the chief director to oppress people, and it is very pleasant to work with him." ”

The reporters present nodded when they heard Zhang Ran's answer, worthy of being a teacher, speaking in an orderly manner, with clear logic, and acting quite self-contained. wants to use him to create some contradictions and concoct a news article with contradictions in the director, it seems that this is just everyone's good wishes.

As soon as the female reporter sat down, a male reporter stood up and asked: "Director Zhang Ran, I heard that there is a role in the play "Before Dawn" that was originally set to be another actor, but in order to praise your own people, you forcibly replaced it with Zhang Jingchu, is there such a thing?"

This question shocked the reporters present, there is such a thing, this is big news? They waited for Zhang Ran to answer, whether to avoid the important or to scold angrily, no matter what kind of news this time is easy to write. (To be continued.) )
