Chapter 597: Suspicion
Huo Zhiming's move of building a street specifically for the movie is obviously right for Jiang Se's temperament, as if every grass and tree, every thing and scene in the story appeared vividly in front of him.
Jiang Se almost ignored Huo Zhiming, Mo Anqi and Director Huo's assistant around her, her hands were in the pockets of her coat, as if she was a little cold, but she subconsciously showed a brisk smile because her wish was about to be fulfilled.
If it weren't for Huo Zhiming's muttering:
"Your salary is too high, otherwise the rest of the money can make this street a little better. ”
Part of the money invested by the investor went into the pockets of the two main actresses, and every penny of the rest was deducted by Huo Zhiming.
When building the street for live shooting, he disregarded decency, personally negotiated the project with others, and watched the progress of the construction site every day in the dirt, holding his purse tightly and keeping an eye on every penny of money.
The crew's food and drink, as well as the reimbursement of the transportation expenses of the members, he also repeatedly compressed.
Even the hotel where the crew lived was not chosen in a tall five-star hotel because of the fame of Jiang Se and Tao Cen, but chose a little-known hotel closest to the set.
Because the hotel learned that "The Suspect" was going to be filmed here, it was willing to give Huo Zhiming a discount.
This old man's 'buckle' is reflected in all aspects, the car that Jiang Se sat in when he came over was also dilapidated and old, but he was willing to spend on every grass and tree on the street.
At first glance, the signboard of the hotel is deliberately expensive to make it look like a half-new and old, and a lot of effort has been put into each scene.
He complained that Tao Cen and Jiang Se were too expensive, and the assistant looked embarrassed, afraid that Huo Zhiming's temper and personality would anger Jiang Se.
The investor is willing to pay, not for the movie itself, nor for the story of "The Criminal Suspect", but for the fame and box office appeal of Jiang Se and Tao Cen.
What's more, the largest of them, Huaying, had a close relationship with Jiang Se, and when he invested in the filming of "Xianyuan", it was said that Jiang Se's salary had reached as much as 80 million, not including the price of the subsequent share of the box office.
From this point, it can be seen that Huaying is special and different from Jiang Se, Huo Zhiming complained that Jiang Se was too much paid behind his back, and if he said this in front of Jiang Se, it would inevitably embarrass the assistant.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Huo Zhiming, Huo Zhiming looked unhappy, shook off the assistant's hand, and pointed to the street scene in the distance:
"It should have been repaired over there, but if you look at it in the lens, the real scene will be much better. ”
He put the thumbs and forefingers of both hands together, compared to the gesture of a video camera, and put it in front of his eyes, mentioning a street that was not repaired, and he looked very regretful.
Although she didn't get along with Huo Zhiming for a long time, Jiang Se probably also knew a little bit about his character, and she listened to him at this time, and she also saw the assistant's small movements, but she was not annoyed and angry because of Huo Zhiming's words:
"I don't get paid much for starring in "The Suspect". This is the price set by the company, and she was asked to take it at that time, purely to create the illusion that she and Tao Cen can still get along, and the salary that Luo Yin personally talked about is far lower than the income of "Xianyuan".
"Agreeing to play the role of 'Su Yi' has nothing to do with the remuneration, if Director Huo thinks that the street is not perfect, you should apply for more funds from the investor. ”
Huo Zhiming was stunned for a while, Jiang Se looked at him for a long time, and he 'snorted':
"Whether that's the case or not, you'll have to watch the movie start. ”
He led Jiang Se into the hotel that had been set up, all the facilities in it were ready, everything in the hall was extremely exquisite, the carpet, the front desk, the customer comment book and other details were all prepared.
"Take advantage of the time before the gathering, you have to be as familiar as possible with every corner of this place, the map of the street, I will let Xiao Zheng hand it over to you later. ”
He had a tough attitude, and when he said these words, he had an attitude that Jiang Se could not refute.
The assistant looked helpless, but he didn't expect that every time Huo Zhiming said a word, Jiang Se nodded, and this obedience made Huo Zhiming look at her several times in a row.
The actors who have worked with them in the past, regardless of their status, fame, age, or age, but if they are a little well-known, they generally don't like someone to give them a direct order like Huo Zhiming.
Especially as he gets older, his fame becomes more and more disproportionate to his status, investors don't like him, and actors don't like him, but this old man's attitude on the set is still serious, and it is extremely disgusting to say anything.
There were more and more people arguing with him on the set, and Huo Zhiming's eccentric temper and mean reputation followed.
Previously, the two argued a few words about the issue of salary, but they didn't expect Huo Zhiming to mention filming at this time, she seemed to have restrained her temper, no matter how serious Huo Zhiming's tone was, the tone of the request was so natural that Huo Zhiming's assistant was uneasy, but Jiang Se still just nodded obediently, which made Huo Zhiming's opinion of her slightly change.
In the plot, Su Yi is thoughtful, a woman with high IQ, calmness, and excellent psychological quality, so smart that a policeman like Shen Xunran feels helpless when facing her.
After Jiang Se came to the set on the first day, he first turned around the set, and the group performance here has not yet settled in, once the filming officially starts, this is the crime scene in the Wangjin area that shocked the whole province and city in the plot.
Huo Zhiming brought Jiang Se over that day and left in advance, but Jiang Se stayed and asked Mo Anqi and others to help her take pictures with her mobile phone in every corner of the set, preparing to return to the hotel and make preparations.
Although Huo Zhiming mentioned that there would be a map of the scene to be sent to her room, Jiang Se still walked through the street and drew a simple map before the drawing was sent, in order to enhance her memory.
In the next two days, she forcibly wrote down the photos taken on the set that day in her room, and on the evening of the 16th, Tao Cen also flew to Wangzhou and stayed in this hotel.
On the day Tao Cen moved in, there was a trouble.
A waiter in the hotel was bribed by a reporter, helped the reporter disguise himself as a guest and entered the hotel, secretly took Tao Cen's private photos, and was discovered by Tao Cen's assistant.
This move also made Tao Cen's assistant dissatisfied with Huo Zhiming's living in such a place, and before he could settle down properly that night, Tao Cen's agent proposed to Huo Zhiming to change the place for Tao Cen, but Huo Zhiming refused.
Just like the impression that Jiang Se left on him when he came to Wangzhou to meet Huo Zhiming on the first day, Huo Zhiming's personality was extremely stubborn, and he did not look at Tao Cen differently because of Tao Cen's identity and the fact that he took the initiative to shoot "The Criminal Suspect".
Song Yi thought that the hotel's security measures were not trustworthy, and the conditions here were too simple, and after the clandestine shooting incident, Tao Cen's work team did not trust the waiters in the hotel and wanted to change their residence. ”
Tao Cen's room is next door to Jiang Se, and the sound insulation of the hotel is not very good, the dispute in the room is a little louder, and you can hear it clearly with your ears against the wall.
Song Yi felt that since Tao Cen became famous, no matter whether he worked at home or abroad, he had never lived in such a bad hotel, and the management was not comprehensive, he listed various reasons, but in the end he was blocked by Huo Zhiming in one sentence:
Tao Cen had no experience of staying in this kind of hotel before, so she could take this incident as an experience. ”
This old man had a hard temper, and he didn't mean to be soft in the face of Song Yi's questioning, Mo Anqi leaned against the wall to listen to the movement next door, and relayed it to Jiang Se.
What's more, the hotel mentioned by Song Yi in Wangzhou City is very far away from the filming location, and it takes time to drive back and forth every day. ”
Huo Zhiming obviously doesn't want to waste useless time on the journey, although there are many inconveniences in the small hotel here, and the living environment may not be as good as a five-star hotel, but the location is special.
The final result of the dispute was Huo Zhiming's victory, and Tao Cen released the news that he was going to shoot "The Criminal Suspect" in advance that day, which was a constraint for Jiang Se, and the same was true for her.
The old man has a stubborn temper and is ruthless, as if Tao Cen is not satisfied, he can not shoot the posture.
Everyone knows his temperament, Tao Cen's confidence is not as hard as his, and he cherishes his reputation, and the news that she is going to shoot "The Suspect" is shaken out by herself, and she will not shoot at this time, and she will just lose her face at that time.
After the incident subsided, the whole group of No. 17 gathered in Wangzhou and officially opened the chapter of filming "The Suspect".
The relationship between Jiang Se and Tao Cen, most of the members of the crew who pay attention to the gossip of the two know a little.
In recent years, because of the development trend, the two have not been very harmonious, obviously belonging to the same brokerage company, but their respective assistants never greet each other in private, and they do not show a smile when they meet.
In this case, some people in the crew were a little worried that the two actresses would have a situation where the king would not see the king on the set, and they made a fuss in public.
But on the day of the start-up, after Jiang Se and Tao Cen officially met, there was no sabre-rattling picture, compared to the cold faces of the assistants on both sides, the two actresses smiled, although there was no intimate conversation, but they did not shake their faces in public.
Because of the influence of the weather, some scenes need to be filmed first, and the first scene filmed happened to be Jiang Se's scene, and she needed to walk out of the hotel at the scene of the crime.
This scene of Jiang Se, Huo Zhiming was scheduled to be officially filmed at six o'clock in the morning.
There was still some preparation work to be done before the start of filming, and Jiang Se knew that she would be woken up very early, so she went to bed very early the day before, and she didn't even participate in the crew's dinner party to celebrate the official start, she took a shower and went to bed directly, and was called up at two o'clock in the middle of the night.
The temperature difference between day and night in Wangzhou is huge, and when I got dressed and set off from the hotel to the set, several assistants shivered with cold.
It was pitch black along the road, the lights were on in the car, Jiang Se was still reading the script of today's scene, feeling the atmosphere of the plot in advance, so that he could immerse himself in Su Yi's world faster.
The set was brightly lit, the staff was still busy, Jiang Se wrapped the thick down jacket tightly as soon as she got out of the car, and the cold wind blowing in her face made her shiver, and she felt that the cold hairs on her face and body stood up.
The makeup artist is already waiting in the dressing room on the set, and the makeup to be put on in this scene is simple, and the important thing is to express the scene and the actors' demeanor and micro-expressions.
Jiang Se's hair was pulled up, revealing a delicate and flawless face, and the stylist changed her into a black dress with a deep V bias dress, a pair of stiletto heels, and a long beige trench coat that reached the knee, appropriately revealing a pair of slender calves.
The most eye-catching thing about her is the delicate rose-colored lipstick, which makes her face whiter than snow, and the dimly lit dressing room seems to be lined with her delicate and beautiful face.
Huo Zhiming came early, and it was just after four o'clock after Jiang Se finished cleaning up, and there was still more than an hour before the official shooting, so he lifted the curtain and entered the dressing room.
For this movie, which Huo Zhiming has put a lot of effort into, he attaches great importance to it, and he does it himself, and he can't miss any details.
When he came in, Jiang Se was wearing a thick blanket and reading the script under the light, Huo Zhiming saw this scene, and his stiff face suddenly relaxed.
Originally, he thought that Jiang Se would take the opportunity to sleep for a while and rest at this time, but he didn't expect that she was still working overtime.
"Have you memorized the topographical map of the streets?"
As soon as he entered, he took the gloves he was wearing, rubbed his hands, sighed, and asked a word.
February in Wangzhou was really cold, even though he was wearing thick gloves from beginning to end, but his hands were not warm at all, and they were already stiff to some pain at this time.
Jiang Se nodded, "Remember." ”
When Huo Zhiming asked her, she had already taken advantage of the time before the official start of filming to completely familiarize herself with the terrain on the set, and even brought Mo Anqi a few times on the way, she walked this street dozens of times, and she was already very familiar with it.
"You should have read the script, although there are no lines in this scene, it is very important. ”
As the name suggests, "Suspect" is only a suspect, but there is no substantial evidence to prove its crime, which is also the most important reason why Shen Xunran and Su Yi compete in the movie.
How to show that Su Yi is suspicious, so that the audience 'believes' that she killed the person, but like Shen Xunran in the play, she can't catch Su Yi's substantive handle, which requires Jiang Se to ponder and work hard to perform the essence of the plot.
Huo Zhiming was afraid that Jiang Se would not be able to play the feeling of 'Su Yi' in his script under Jiang Se's fame, so he took the trouble to explain again and again.
At 5:40, before the official start of filming, after the makeup artist touched up Jiang Se's makeup again, the crew members were already in place.
To Jiang Se's surprise, it was the other end of the camera, and Tao Cen also appeared on the set.
She also has a play today, but she didn't get up so early in the early morning of this early spring, just to come to the theater to watch her performance, which made Jiang Se a little surprised.
