Chapter 6 Burning Planes
Li Xuan's dead old martial arts master has a really good character, not only took care of him since he was a child, raised him, taught him kung fu, and let him go to school, but also solved his black household registration problem very early, and even helped him prepare various documents with visas and other documents since he was a child.
Therefore, Li Xuan didn't need to worry about all kinds of documents, and successfully flew to the crew of Fang Long's latest movie "Who Am I" with Lu Huiguang in South Africa.
Fang Long and his team are really hardworking, just in the past month, his last film "A Good Man" has just achieved a pretty beautiful box office, but they hardly rested, and in the blink of an eye, they are engaged in the production of new films.
Li Xuan was a little excited and looking forward to joining such a hard-working Hong Kong top action movie production team soon.
However, when he just arrived at the local area of the crew of "Who Am I", he immediately encountered an unwarranted disaster!
Shortly after getting off the plane, he had not completely recovered from jet lag, but suddenly fell ill on the African continent.
Since he was a child, Li Xuan has basically never been sick, but this time it is because of many mental adventures before, the pressure load is too great, and there is also the reason why the boat and car are tiring and unadaptable.
Originally, Li Xuan was full of expectations, ready to do a big job, and tried to join the "Fang Family Class" with strong personal strength and fighting spirit and was recognized.
It's a pity that after an illness and accident, things are not as good as he imagined before.
Fang Long may be too busy, and he still has a few complaints about Lu Huiguang's belated arrival, and he is also not very satisfied with Lu Huiguang's ability to bring Li Xuan, a very young and sick outsider, over without really communicating with him in advance. Although he didn't give Li Xuan a cold face directly, or refused Li Xuan to join the "Fang Family Class" at the first time, his personal attitude was still relatively flat.
As for most of the members of the "Fang Family Class", they had long been accustomed to following in the footsteps of their eldest brother, and they all ignored Li Xuan coldly.
There are rivers and lakes everywhere, they have been in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle for a long time, and they have no background in Li Xuan, an orphan who is still young from the mainland, and he is not as shameless and overly discriminatory as the previous crew Chen Zhishen, but he is not the Virgin Mary. In addition, everyone is very busy, very busy, and they don't have time to pay attention to the sick newcomers.
And Duan Weilun, who is regarded as Fang Long's right-hand man in the "Fang Family Class" and Lu Huiguang, looked at Li Xuan with a rather familiar ** naked disregard or scrutinizing eye, and his attitude was even colder.
Duan Weilun and Lu Huiguang have the same status around Fang Long, no matter how good the relationship is on the surface, there must still be a certain amount of competition in private, human nature is like this, he has to fight if he doesn't fight, not to mention that they are each followed by the "Fang Family Class" brothers. People in the entertainment industry are well aware of the cruelty of competition, and they will not really be as brotherly as they seem.
Now that he has found out that his old opponent Lu Huiguang suddenly found a very young and handsome little brother to come back, he must have relatives, just in case, it is naturally a smart choice to be able to give Ma Wei and a certain suppression first.
Li Xuan was new to the city, he was sick and in bad spirits, and he was not too popular, and it seemed to be a thing on the surface. And he was indeed not officially included in the category of "Fangjia Class", Fang Long did not officially nod, more like a black casual worker.
Therefore, Li Xuan's treatment in the crew can be imagined to be lonely.
Fortunately, Lu Huiguang did not completely let Li Xuan be ignored, although he quickly entered a very busy life, he still took the time to arrange a lot of details of life for Li Xuan, so that Li Xuan, who was sick, would not completely lose his warmth.
"Xiao Xuan, don't worry, when I'm busy for a while, and then you get better, I will continue to recommend you in front of my eldest brother. I have confidence in your skills, and you don't want to be crushed by the coldness and hostility of Duan Weilun's bastards. They are very conceited, they have experienced too much, and they will not easily accept newcomers who are not strong, and they treat newcomers like this. In fact, after getting along for a long time, you will find that their character is still good, don't care. ”
"It's better to call me Xiao Li than Xiao Xuan, it's like calling a girl, I'm a man. Don't worry, Brother Guang, you are busy with you first, I am well from my illness, and they will definitely see how powerful I am. ”
"Okay, Xiaoxuan."
“……”
Li Xuanzhi is not lacking, and he has long been accustomed to loneliness, and after a few days of simple rest and recuperation, he soon has a lot of energy.
While recuperating from his illness, he also took the time to appreciate the unique natural and cultural landscapes of the African continent to calm down some overly restless and restless thoughts.
It was also during this period that he really recognized the vague and chaotic future images of the parallel world in his mind, no longer deliberately looking for rules, and went with the flow, and further strengthened his great goal of becoming the king of the entertainment industry.
After all, in a place as mysterious and vast as Africa, it is always easy to rise up with ambition and conquest.
The crew of "Who Am I" will not let people eat rice, even if it is Lu Huiguang's face, it will be used up. Li Xuan himself is also very dignified, just after completely getting rid of the disease, he volunteered to join the daily work of the crew of "Who Am I", not wanting to continue to use Lu Huiguang's face.
Fang Long did not directly say that he would be accepted into the "Fang Family Class", but he still recognized the addition of a dragon stand-in and action actor with crew experience to the crew. They work a lot and don't have enough people.
For this kind of treatment, Li Xuan is also happy to accept it at present, he wants to rely on his own efforts to make Fang Long and the "Fang Family Class" face up to him, and he does not want to enter the "Fang Family Class" just by relying on Lu Huiguang's face.
He joined the crew very skillfully, responsible for daily trivial chores, did not seem embarrassing and abrupt, and his performance was commendable and satisfying.
More people in the crew actually didn't have time to pay attention to him, but they just focused on the production of the movie in front of them.
For a time, he and the crew of "Who Am I" were busy on the African continent, and their lives were very fulfilling.
"Hey, Xiao Li, bring me that prop clothes!"
"The wind is too strong, Xiao Li, come over and hold the umbrella, don't let the set be blown away by the wind and sand!"
"Xiao Li, what about people? Come over and cook, big brother, they're almost over, it's time to eat! ”
……
In the crew, all kinds of languages are flying, all kinds of voices are full, and they are busy.
But it didn't take long for everyone to be surprised to find that the frequency of shouting "Xiao Li" was quite high, and it had become a must-have job for everyone every day, not much less than the number of times everyone shouted "big brother".
In fact, what Li Xuan has to do every day is very simple, but it is very messy, but he can always do it well, he is on call, and he has a cheerful personality. made everyone satisfied with the habits, but gradually changed the attitude of some people who ignored and despised him before, and slowly accepted it.
In any case, people who work hard and work hard are still easily respected and recognized by people with normal conduct. Of course, people like Chen Zhihui who are born to bully and discriminate against others have abnormal behavior.
Li Xuan's situation in the crew, it is under this subtle recognition that he began to get better.
It's a pity that there is still a big gap between him wanting to show his skills and successfully joining the "Fang Family Class". All he could do was work harder and continue to wait silently for the opportunity.
……
In the drama "Who Am I", Fang Long and the film company behind him are still adhering to the usual large-scale production, so many of the various props in the crew are real guys.
Among them, for the sake of plot effect, the local government of South Africa even sold a small helicopter to the crew for use in the filming of special scenes.
Many people in the crew have a lot of ideas about this plane, and they want to take the plane to walk around the desert and do free "flying in the air". Even in private, everyone often tricks the pilot to teach everyone to fly, and they all want to fly a plane to have fun.
However, Fang Long was always not very satisfied with this rather new aircraft, thinking that it was too new and not suitable for the plot needs of the film, and it was better to make it old.
So, one day, he asked his staff to light the shell and paint of the plane, artificially making the plane old.
This is a very interesting and novel thing, the young people of the entire crew were naturally attracted to the initiative to watch for the first time, and many local African children, who also lost their curious nature, surrounded them like locusts.
When a staff member of the on-site crew really lit the torch and began to burn the shell and paint of the plane, the atmosphere of the entire crew instantly rose up, like a festival!
Li Xuan was also very interested in such a thing, and he had been watching from the sidelines early. In fact, he even wanted to burn it himself, but he was preempted by those veteran crew members. Burn the plane, everyone likes it.
In the scene of the crew, as several flames of the barbecue plane continued to lick the shell of the aircraft, the excitement of the crowd became higher and higher. After a while, everyone was like participating in a superstar interactive concert performance, the atmosphere became hot, and under the constant deliberate teasing of those few people who burned the fire, they became more and more happy and excited, and the scene was faintly impulsive.
Maybe it's very funny, an African child about ten years old suddenly managed to get in from the obstruction of adults outside the circle, and wanted to stand under the plane to see how real and exciting the burning plane was. If possible, he probably also had the idea to burn the plane himself.
"Sting!"
Just when everyone in the crew, including Fang Long, was playing so much that they couldn't control themselves, Li Xuan suddenly felt as if he had heard something wrong.
"Sting!"
Again, his ears were clearly not hallucinating.
"Oops, the plane is going to explode!"
Suddenly, Li Xuan instantly thought of something in his mind, in his parallel world memory, Fang Long's crew once had a plane explosion. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but yell at his surroundings!
