Chapter 49: Joining the crew
Yang Yang and Yan Xiude stepped on the high-speed train to Hengdian together. In fact, Yan Xiude doesn't need to accompany Yang Yang at all, after all, he is not the only artist under Yang Yang, but because this is Yang Yang's first time in the crew to film, and he has no assistant now, Yan Xiude can only follow hard.
Hengdian Film and Television City, located in DY City, is the world's largest film and television base, with an investment of more than 300 million yuan, and has built more than 10 film and television shooting bases spanning thousands of years of history and time, gathering north and south characteristics, such as the Ming and Qing Dynasty Palaces, Qin Wanggong, Qingming Shanghe Tu, Dazhi Temple, etc., known as the "Hollywood of the East".
In fact, there is also a film and television city in the magic capital, but compared with Hengdian, it is a small thing, and Wu Zheng can't look down on it at all.
Yang Yang and Yan Xiude arrived in DY City at about three o'clock in the afternoon, but they didn't expect the crew to send someone to wait outside the station. then ran all the way, and finally arrived at the crew of "The Legend of Xu Shaolian" in Hengdian.
The crew is a busy scene, props, costumes, lighting, camera... Everyone is making final preparations for the upcoming shoot.
Wu Zheng was in a good mood, and when he saw Yang Yang coming, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "First follow the drama to settle down the accommodation, and everyone will have a meal together in the evening, and the movie will start tomorrow." β
"You should have read the script, have you memorized the lines?"
Yang Yang nodded hurriedly: "It's familiar." "There are not many lines in the script of the first dozen episodes, and Yang Yang wrote them down after reading them.
"Okay, then let's go over first, if you have any requirements in life, just go directly to the drama staff. As a director, Wu Zheng had too many things to do, so he hurriedly said a few words to Yang Yang and left.
So Yang Yang followed the drama to the hotel that had been arranged.
The hotel is on the periphery of the film and television city, which looks like a homestay from the outside, but when you go inside, you find that the environment is good.
The drama "The Legend of Xu Shaolian" will take about 4 to 6 months to film, and Yang Yang will stay in the crew for so long for the first time filming, which can be regarded as a challenge and luck.
Yan Xiude will leave tomorrow, he also has a job, it is impossible to follow him all the time, Yang Yang must adapt to his life as soon as possible to take care of himself, but it is nothing to him who is close to forty in the combined psychological age of the two lives.
Yang Yang went up to the third floor with his luggage, and the drama manager arranged a small single room for him, and when he entered the door, the door opposite happened to open at the same time, and a man walked out.
The man wears sunglasses, is tall, in his thirties, and exudes a different temperament in his gestures.
"Deng Shao!" Yang Yang recognized his identity at a glance. Before he came, he did his homework and read most of the actors' information, Deng Shao is Xu Shaolian's actor, a popular first-line actor.
"Zhan Feihong?" Deng Shao took off his sunglasses, revealing a handsome face, and looked at Yang Yang with a smile.
"Yes, Zhan Feihong!" Yang Yang smiled and nodded.
"I'll rely on you to protect me from now on. Deng Shao said teasingly, his attitude was very friendly, and his temper was as good as rumored.
Yang Yang smiled a little shyly, Deng Shao patted Yang Yang's shoulder and went downstairs.
Yan Xiude helped Yang Yang pack his luggage and left, and he also wanted to find a hotel to stay.
Yang Yang lay on the bed, turned on the Walkman, and familiarized himself with the script while listening to the song. At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the crew had a car to pick everyone up for the start-up banquet.
The slightly famous actors have life assistants and special cars arranged by the company, and Yang Yang has not yet received that treatment, so he went with the crew's car.
The start-up banquet was held in a small hotel, and the crew of "Xu Shaolian" filled it to the brim.
Yang Yang was arranged to sit at a table with director Wu Zheng, the producer, and several main actors.
The table is full of veteran actors, or popular A-list stars. Yang Yang sat in the lower position, and "recognized" them one by one according to the information in his heart.
This is the "Emperor", this is the "Criminal Ministry Shangshu", this is the villain, this is the heroine...
After Wu Zheng said a few words in front of everyone, he didn't talk much. Producer Wang Lei has never stopped from beginning to end, and he has been staggered with old drama stars, and he seems quite familiar.
Yang ** couldn't interject, and he didn't think about interjecting, so he just sat there and listened quietly, taking two mouthfuls of food from time to time.
The girl next to him was obviously the same as him, even more restrained, Yang Yang counted, and the girl did not use more than two hands to put down the chopsticks from beginning to end.
The kick-off banquet lasted for more than three hours, and the old actors were full of wine and food, some went back to the hotel, and some discussed where to go for pastime.
Yang Yang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally it was over, and for the first time, he felt that eating was such a tiring thing. Almost at the same time, he heard a sound of relief beside him, and turned his head to see that he was facing the sparkling eyes of the girl next to him.
The two saw the same feelings as themselves in each other's eyes, and then quickly parted, secretly snickering tacitly.
After Yang Yang walked out of the hotel, he felt that his stomach was still empty, and he was thinking about where to find something to eat.
At this moment, a lively footstep sounded behind him, and he turned his head to see that it was the girl who had just sat next to him.
"Hey, where are you going?" the girl raised her chin at him.
Yang Yang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "Eat." β
"Haha, I guess too. The girl laughed, and then greeted like an old friend who had known Yang Yang for a long time: "Let's go, together." I know what's delicious. β
Yang Yang blinked, thinking that this girl was indeed quite interesting, and raised his heel.
The girl seemed to be very familiar with Hengdian, and took Yang Yang to a lively night market soon.
The tempting aroma of all kinds of snacks and delicacies mixed with the heat of the summer night passed to the tip of Yang Yang's nose, causing his stomach to gurgle.
The girl looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't be in a hurry to scream, it's not there yet." β
Yang Yang's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed, so he could only nod.
The girl walked from food stall to food stall until she came to a small noodle stall that was inconspicuous.
The noodle stall owner and the girl seemed to be old acquaintances, and they greeted each other first, and the girl shouted: "Boss, two bowls of Tangxi ramen, plus four braised chicken feet, two duck heads, and a portion of rice rolls." β
"Okay. The sweaty boss replied with a loud voice and jokingly said, "What? β
The girl laughed and scolded: "What nonsense, if you see any messy news in the newspaper tomorrow, you don't think I will come to your house to eat noodles in the future." β
"Deg~" The boss shrunk his neck, "I forgot that you are still a big star." β
The girl shook her head and smiled helplessly, then turned her head and beckoned Yang Yang: "Sit down." Don't look at this faΓ§ade, the boss is not good, and the taste of the snacks is not bad. β
"If you slander me like this again, you won't be in business next time. The stall owner shouted.
Yang Yang thought it was interesting, the food stalls, I had never eaten less in my previous life. He took a few tissues from the table, wiped the girl and the desktop in front of him, the girl took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed him a pair, the two are just new acquaintances, and they cooperate quite tacitly.
"I haven't known myself for so long. The girl's beautiful eyes looked big and bright in the dim light, and she stretched out her hand to Yang Yang: "My name is Chu Mengyao, I play Linglong in the play, you should be Zhan Feihong." β
Yang Yang smiled and touched the girl's finger slightly, nodded and said, "You can also call me Yang Yang." β
