149. Chapter 149: The Study Society
Script reading sessions are used to familiarize the crew with the script before the start of filming of movies and TV dramas, and for the director to adjust the role assignment according to the actor's status in advance, and it is also a process for the crew members to get acquainted with each other in advance.
According to the time on the schedule, Yang Qinglan drove an hour early to the study venue, a small conference room in a five-star hotel.
When she arrived, Lin He was already sitting in the conference room with a thick script and reading it carefully, and there were more than a dozen people sitting here and there in the huge conference room, including Yin Yilin, who was sitting in the corner but had a strong sense of zĂ i.
Yang Qinglan glanced at the position where her seat card was placed, and did not go over, but walked to Yin Yilin and sat down next to him.
"Why did you get there so early?"
"I've been staying in this hotel for the past two days, and I'm just a lift."
"I looked at the cast you sent me, and while I don't have any opinion on the casting, I would like to state in advance that I might consider changing people if I am not satisfied with the performance of some people during the filming."
Yin Yilin glanced at her and showed an indifferent smile: "As long as you don't replace Shen Qiangrose, you can toss it as you want." â
"Oh? The same goes for the women who sponsored it? â
"It's the same, as long as there is a valid reason, I can change it if I want to, it's just a sponsor, and I have as many pulls as I want."
Yang Qinglan smiled and raised her eyebrows at him: "Seeing that you are so confident, I am relieved." â
"Do you think I'm handsome?"
"The boss is the most handsome!"
"I'll give you a bonus when I go back."
"Hah! Thank you owner! â
During the conversation between the two, as time went on, many people came in the conference room one after another, but most of them were supporting roles or newcomers in the circle, and after entering the door, they quietly found their place and sat down.
Until ten minutes before the scheduled study meeting, Lin He was still the only one sitting in the first two rows of the conference room, and none of the others were seated.
Five minutes before the start of the seminar, Yang Qinglan and Yin Yilin walked out of the corner together and sat down on the seat sign, and at this time, the other people in the first two rows also sat down one by one as if they had been enchanted and didn't know where to come from, and one minute before the official start, the seats in the first two rows were filled.
The host of the study meeting came to the stage on time, signaled the security personnel on the side to arrange for the reporters who had been waiting outside the venue to enter the venue, and then reminded everyone to pay attention to the order of the venue and sort out the materials in their hands.
Yang Qinglan picked up the information that belonged to her and flipped through it casually, and found that in addition to the fully printed script, there were also a lot of precautions in the information bag that I don't know who sorted out, as well as a first draft of a storyboard that looked like a grass but had a good foundation.
The person who can draw a storyboard is either a director or an assistant to the director, it seems that although this Lin He has shallow qualifications, his work attitude is still very serious.
Just as she was flipping through the storyboards one by one, a shutter sound suddenly sounded in the reporter's area not far away that was more dense than just now, which immediately attracted her attention.
Looking in the direction of the reporters' lenses, Yang Qinglan resisted the urge to frown.
There is the actors' area, and the actor who plays the male number three, that is, the heroine's uncle, is staring intently at the chest of the female number four sitting next to him.
She knew those two people before she entered the industry, one is the actress Yan Liu, who became famous for taking sexy photos and taking the sexy route when she was just an adult, and the other is Bao Leiting, a married uncle who has become famous because of her transformation into a funny actor when she is middle-aged.
These two belong to the main company of Yihe, and not long ago, they were hyped by the media for playing a pair of lovers in a movie, even if ordinary passers-by know that they are "good friends" who have a very good relationship.
At this moment, Yan Liu, wearing a low-cut dress, was holding the information seriously, although Bao Leiting was also holding the information, but his eyes fell on Yan Liu's chest and refused to leave for a long time, which really made the reporters in the reporter area take enough pictures.
Yang Qinglan's hand holding the script involuntarily used some strength, and the two-centimeter-thick script was pinched and deformed by her.
She didn't know if these two people were hyping up like this, but whether it was or not, she was very unhappy now.
The heroes and heroines of this movie are Shen Qiangrose and Chen Shu, and the focus of the script reading meeting this time is also on these two people.
Thinking that Yan Liu was also one of the four actresses who were stuffed in because of investment, she felt even more uncomfortable, so she simply turned her head to look at the host, not paying attention to it, and planned to wait for the end of the study meeting to discuss this matter with Yin Yilin.
Except for the little episode just now, the study will continue as usual, although Shen Qiangrose's lines have not improved much, but it seems that she has done her homework, her feelings have improved a lot, and her facial acting skills have also improved greatly, maybe there will be an outbreak after the official start.
Chen Shu is worthy of being an actor who has been promoted by Yihe in the past two years, and he is outstanding in all aspects, making it difficult to find anything wrong.
In addition, the list of several supporting roles found by Yin Yilin is also very good, and if used properly, it can become the highlight of the whole movie.
Bao Leiting, as the only laughing point in the whole film, can be regarded as giving full play to his characteristics as a funny actor, except for wandering his mind from time to time to look at Yan Liu's chest, there is no mistake.
But several actresses, including Yan Liu, basically interpreted what is called a "vase" with their bodies, which has not officially started filming yet, but they just read it with the script, and they can actually read it to the level of primary school students, no wonder they need sponsorship to have a play to receive.
Fortunately, there are not many scenes in these people, so she doesn't need to care too much.
The script was a bit long, and with the discussion in the middle, it couldn't be finished for a while, so two hours after the study began, the moderator announced a temporary break and a twenty-minute break before continuing.
Yang Qinglan rubbed her temples, got up from the chair and prepared to go to the bathroom, but as soon as she stood up, she was stopped by the two eye-catching actors and chatted a few words, and after sending them away, the two staff members of the crew came up again and asked if they could take a group photo, but she decisively refused.
After struggling in the crowd for more than ten minutes, and the rest time was almost over, Yang Qinglan finally walked out of the conference room and had a chance to go to the toilet.
From a distance, she saw that there seemed to be a lot of people in the bathroom in front of her, so she asked the washing machine, "Where else is the nearest toilet?" â
[Turn around and walk three meters to the right staircase to go downstairs, and the toilet on the next floor can be used.] ă
"Thanks."
[You're welcome. ă
Follow the instructions of the washing machine and go downstairs to find the bathroom, and as soon as she pushes the door, she hears a suppressed vomiting sound and a muffled grunt of pain coming from the compartment next to her.
She thought for a moment, reached out and knocked on the door of that cubicle, and asked, "Do you need help?" â
There was another burst of retching that was hard to suppress, and the person inside seemed to be able to control his body's reaction, so he knocked it from the inside, and his voice trembled slightly: "No need...... Thank you. â
The voice...... Sound familiar?
Yang Qinglan searched in her memory, and quickly matched it with an interview video she saw not long ago.
The person inside should be Yan Liu.
I looked at a person who was okay just now, did I have a bad stomach?
Of course, no matter who it is, since she herself said that she doesn't need help, it's not a parent, she doesn't need to ask again, everyone knows that there are many dark things hidden in this circle, in case something bad happens, although she is not afraid of things, but she is afraid of trouble, she can still avoid it.
After solving the personal problem, Yang Qinglan walked to the washstand and prepared to wash her hands and leave, but before the water was boiled, she heard the sound of something falling into the water from Yan Liu's side, and a "damn it" that followed.
The action of turning on the faucet paused, and she listened with her ears for a few seconds, and found that nothing seemed to have happened, so she didn't care about it anymore, and washed her hands with boiling water.
Pulling a piece of absorbent paper to wipe her hands, Yang Qinglan turned around and saw Yan Liu, who had opened the door of the compartment inside, leaned out half of her body and covered her face with her hands.
ââŚâŚ What's wrong? â
Yan Liu's movements froze for a moment, and then asked very quietly: "Screenwriter Qiu?" â
"It's me."
ââŚâŚ Excuse me, did you bring eyeliner or eyeliner......? My ...... Accidentally fell into the toilet......"
The sharp-eyed Yang Qinglan saw her eye makeup that was probably fainted by tears from between her fingers covering her face, and there will be a study meeting later, unless she asks for leave, otherwise she will definitely be watched when she goes back with this face.
"Yes, yes, but I don't know if you use it." As she spoke, Yang Qinglan took out a small makeup bag from her bag and put it on the sink, "Come and have a look." â
Yan Liu hesitantly covered her face and walked over, and it could be seen that her steps were a little vain, and her state was a bit similar to that classmate of Yang Qinglan University who had low blood sugar.
Could it be that she was inducing vomiting to lose weight just now? But I didn't eat just now...... Forget it, don't guess, what's the matter with me.
Yang Qinglan smiled at Yan Liu: "You can use it, I'll wait for you outside, and go up together when you come out." â
ââŚâŚ Thank you. â
"No, you don't."
Yan Liu's touch-up was fast, but it still took a lot of time, and by the time they returned to the conference room, the study meeting had already started again.
Yang Qinglan, who had been watching Yan Liu's seat, found that Bao Leiting, who had been interested in Yan Liu's (breasts) just now, did not show the slightest concern because of her tardiness, as if she was a stranger, but those eyes still kept patrolling her chest dishonestly, making people feel disgusting to watch.
Thinking of having such a person in the crew, Yang Qinglan suddenly wanted to cut all the scenes of that funny character in the movie, but in the end she held back.
If a dark suspense movie does not have a character who can reconcile the whole film, it will be an incomplete work, Bao Leiting's character does not matter, and his acting skills are not said, from a movie point of view, there is no reason to cut him, as long as he is usually far away from him, out of sight and out of mind.
After adjusting her mentality, Yang Qinglan picked up the script again and kept up with everyone's progress, and threw herself into the study meeting without distraction.
