129. Selfishness

The movie was launched in April, and the filming location was set in Hengdian, which is actually a small-budget movie, and there are not so many actors needed.

Although Su Mang is the heroine in the movie, she does not have many scenes, but Lin Jindong plays the second role, the big star Du Cheng, and Du Cheng's royal stand-in Guo Meng.

One is the darling of the entertainment industry, the other is an unsavory stuntman, or a person who can't even sign his name, the temperaments of the two are very different, Su Mang feels that if he plays it himself, he will definitely be fine, but Lin Jindong is worthy of being a well-known drama idiot in the entertainment industry, and the shaping of the role can be described as light.

"Thank you for your hard work." Su Mang took the initiative to hand over the water, and Lin Jindong smiled, "I've been busy with this recently, and I don't plan to pick up a new play?" ”

Su Mang's role is not much, and several dramas have been in contact recently, but she didn't reply, at most she occasionally went to other filming crews to make cameos, but there are some things that Lin Jindong also knows.

"I may be approached for a drama in two days, but the time has not yet been set." According to Su Mang's original plan, during the filming of this movie, she was not going to take on the drama.

It's just that Qin Jing has repeatedly objected, "Su Mang, you attach great importance to this movie, I know that this is the first film in which you play the heroine, and it is very important to you, just because this is your first starring movie, so you must be clear about one thing, this film, even if it is launched in the future, it will not be too successful at the box office due to its own conditions." ”

"I'm not here for the box office."

"I know." Qin Jing's attitude was very resolute, "I know you don't care about the box office, but Su Mang, you have worked hard for so long, do you just let this movie go down the drain?" Do you know that due to the limited subject matter of this movie, it is likely to be a box office hit, and you made this movie as you wished, but have you ever thought about Director Kong and Brother Dong? They take such a big risk for you, you really have to be so selfish? ”

The relationship between Qin Jing and Su Mang was destined to be strong from the beginning, Su Mang was very stubborn, Qin Jing rarely refuted her opinions, speaking so loudly was the first time in the world, "You worked so hard to make such a movie, is it just to make this into a movie?" Don't you want more people to know about the film's survival? From the end of filming to the release of this movie, it is conservatively estimated that there will be half a year, during this time, do you know that the movie needs exposure? Yes, you never advertised it before, that's because you are in the TV drama circle, but the film industry is different, you look at those stars in the circle, what are they divorced, having an affair, and being broken up for in three days? Isn't it just to maintain exposure and let their works be known by more people, their methods are so unpopular, but they succeeded! ”

"I know you don't care about this, but don't forget your original intention of filming this movie, no matter how hard and tired you are when you shoot a TV series, you don't need a stand-in, for what?" Qin Jing's throat was a little dry, and her voice was almost hoarse.

She didn't think clearly at first, Su Mang is a very smart person, why he never refuses to use stuntmen, and even indicates this in the contract, and she never shies away from it on the set, even if it is because of the director's black face when there is a problem when hanging Weiya, she never changes her attitude.

But now, Qin Jing felt that she probably understood.

"You need exposure, this movie is very well intentioned, in your words, it is the academic style of the Oscars, Su Mang, I'm not for money, just to make your way, so that the road of this movie can be better." Qin Jing walked up to Su Mang's side and tiptoed Su Mang's shoulder, "Think about it, whether you want to take this drama or not." ”

In fact, Su Mang had contact with that drama when he was in Cannes before, and the director wanted to find an oriental face to further open up the market of this drama in Asia, and Su Mang's spoken English was very good, and the director was very satisfied, but at that time Su Mang thought that the director was just talking casually.

Who knew that this serialized quarterly drama would start filming again, and the director contacted Su Mang, hoping that Su Mang could participate.

Su Mang didn't plan to agree, but I don't know why the director contacted Qin Jing again, but the two of them, who were both in a language barrier, made it clear this time, and Qin Jing suggested that Su Mang go to the United States to shoot after he knew.

It's just that Su Mang didn't want to go until Qin Jing roared like this today, and the balance in her heart began to tilt.

……

Seeing Su Mang coming, Kong Xue was not surprised at all, "Sit down." ”

Su Mang stood there, looking at Lin Jindong in the room and was stunned, "Director, are you bothered?" ”

Kong Xue smiled, "When did you become such a mother-in-law, what's the matter?" ”

Su Mang didn't know how to speak, but Lin Jindong remembered what Su Mang said on the set today, and felt that it should be like this, but he didn't say it, after all, this is Su Mang's own business, and Su Mang has to open his mouth.

"Almost, I'll go back and jot down my lines." Lin Jindong stood up, he habitually deduced the next section to be filmed repeatedly, and where the lines were inappropriate, he would discuss with Kong Xue to revise them, and they had a tacit understanding after many years of cooperation.

When passing by Su Mang, Lin Jindong patted Su Mang's shoulder, "Director Kong is not a tiger, he doesn't eat people." ”

Su Mang smiled reluctantly and expressed his gratitude to Lin Jindong for his kindness.

"Sit down, aren't you tired from standing?" Kong Xue motioned for Su Mang to sit down again, "Is there a new movie or a TV series?" ”

Su Mang's attitude is quite suspicious, Kong Xue has not seen this situation, when filming the drama in the first two years, the actor suddenly ran and said, Director, I have a new drama to start filming, and I have to catch up with the schedule. This is still a better situation, and there are even more annoying people, so they just picked on and left.

"There is an American drama, and I may have to go out during the contact." It's a lot of difficulties, but when you open your mouth, it doesn't seem to be so difficult.

Kong Xue raised her eyebrows, "Drifting across the ocean." ”

Su Mang was amused by his raised eyebrows, "Yes, I don't know what will happen when I go abroad to circle fans." ”

"I will send you with a sentence from Wang Longbiao, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken."

The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken. Su Mang felt that there was too much sustenance in this sentence, and she couldn't bear it, but she had to bear it.

Kong Xue didn't ask too much, because he knew that Su Mang was not the kind of person who saw money and opened her eyes to fame and profit, otherwise she would not have contributed money and effort to make this movie. Movies of this style are destined to be loved by film critics, but they are not recognized by the audience.

This is very different from Su Mang's original intention, right?

Therefore, Su Mang wants to save the country, go to the United States to save his sense, and even change the fate of this movie by being the first to release it overseas.

Winning awards abroad and domestic popularity is not without this strange phenomenon in the film industry. Su Mang wants to save the country. Regardless of whether the film can win awards or not, as long as it is nominated for an Oscar, it will be half the battle.

Kong Xue looked at the departing figure, and for the first time, felt that Su Mang was extremely weak.

He forgot a little that this actor, who had no hesitation on the set and seemed to be not afraid of anything, was a girl in her twenties.

……

Half a month after Su Mang joined the group, the scene was successfully completed, and on the night of the finale, Su Mang invited all the people in the crew to dinner, and she paid out of her own pocket.

Su Mang drank a little too much wine, so that even Lin Jindong felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward to stop him, "Don't drink it." ”

He can drink some wine, but he doesn't like to drink too much, and it's even worse when he's drunk.

Su Mang smiled, his eyes turned into crescent moons, "Brother, I am happy that you can act in this movie, I will toast you." ”

"Su Mang, you've drunk too much." Lin Jindong wanted to snatch the wine glass from Su Mang's hand, but he was a step too late, and Su Mang drank it all, "I'm not drunk, I'm really happy." ”

For this drama, Lin Jindong even went to learn martial arts for a month, although he didn't learn any essence, but it was very useful for character building.

And Su Mang knows very well that Lin Jindong doesn't like Hanging Weiya, he prefers some scenes of inner expression, but he took the script in the end. Whether it is in view of Kong Xue and her Su Mang's face, or I really like this script.

Su Mang was very grateful to Lin Jindong. So this glass of wine, she definitely wants to drink.

"This second glass of wine, I salute Director Kong." Su Mang walked a little slowly, just looking at Kong Xue's gaze but it was clear, "Thank you director, this is the fifth time we have worked together, if there is a chance, I hope we can still work together." ”

An actor can work with the same director five times, which has to be said to be fate.

Many of the staff in the crew followed Kong Xue, knowing that Kong Xue and Su Mang had a good relationship, but they didn't expect that this was the fifth work that the two had collaborated on.

It can be said that since Su Mang stepped into the entertainment industry, Kong Xue has witnessed her development all the way, which has to be said to be fate.

Qin Jing didn't know how much wine Su Mang had drunk that night, she wanted to stop it, but she couldn't stop it at all.

Su Mang drank cup after cup, all of them were white, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

When sending Su Mang back to the hotel room, Qin Jing felt that half of her shoulders were numb, Su Mang was obviously not heavy, why did he die after pouring wine?

"Hey, tomorrow afternoon's plane, transfer from the magic capital to Los Angeles, do you still need to talk to Mr. Gu?" Qin Jing felt that she had been deceived, although Su Mang's feet shook a little, she was clearly sober, and she pretended to be drunk just to avoid saying goodbye to the people in the crew.

"No, you don't." Su Mang took a cup of yogurt from the refrigerator, but he couldn't tear it open, Qin Jing couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over to help, but Su Mang didn't let him, but the edge of the plastic seal was a little sharp, and it actually cut Su Mang's finger at once.

The milky white yogurt was mixed with bright red blood, Qin Jing panicked, and hurriedly went to find the medicine box, but Su Mang was standing there, and said with a bloody finger: "No." ”

It's not bad to leave for a while, just to calm her down, she really doesn't know how to face Gu Zi'an now.
