Chapter 50: Power on

Before the start of "Festive", An Ning had already arrived in S City in advance with the crew's car.

Before coming, she wanted to send Meng Anping to Chen Chengcheng's house to let her parents help take care of her.

But this idea was fiercely resisted by Meng Xiaodi, who tugged on the key around his neck and said: "I don't like to go to other people's houses to stay, you see, I'm used to being alone at home, there won't be any danger, it's a big deal that you call me every day, right?" ”

An Ning couldn't resist him, and he really didn't want to trouble Chen Chengcheng any more, so he relied on Meng Anping, let him stay at home alone, and repeatedly told him to pay attention to water, electricity, and gas, pay attention to safety, and then turned around and got into the car step by step.

She and Bai Jun didn't sign any brokerage company, so the crew specially recruited an assistant for each of them, both of whom were little girls who had not yet graduated.

Except for An Ning's psychological age, which is thirty years old, the other three people are all of the same age, plus An Ning and Bai Jun are both newcomers, they don't have any shelves, they chatted along the way, and they quickly became acquainted.

An Ning's little assistant Xu Yan is only 20 years old and is a college student, and this time she was recruited to work part-time. In fact, the salary of this stage actor assistant is not very high, and it is very hard to run around with the crew.

Xu Yan's university and major have nothing to do with acting, and in order to do this part-time job, she took two months off from school.

An Ning asked her curiously how she would have thought of coming to the crew to work part-time, Xu Yan said with a smile: "Who made me Lao Huo's brainless fan, knowing that the actor of this movie is him, not to mention that the salary is low, even if I don't give money, I want to come." ”

This made An Ning have to sigh Huo Ziqiu's charm in her heart again.

is also taking advantage of Huo Ziqiu's east wind, although Zheng Wei's movie this time is as usual, there is no money to promote it, but there are still many media who are moved by the wind and help "Celebration" promote it for free.

In fact, since he was awarded the best actor last year with "Long Distance", Huo Ziqiu has not taken on any more actions, but only appeared in the public's sight with the endorsement of high-end luxury goods.

Everyone thinks that Huo Ziqiu is carefully selecting the script, and he would rather lack it than overuse it. So when the news of his participation in Zheng Wei's new film came out, there was an uproar on the Internet.

There are doubts, some puzzles, some disappointments, and some abuse.

But fortunately, Huo Ziqiu himself did not have a Weibo/blog, and "Festive" did not open an official account, so the crew was out of sight and out of mind about these accusations.

When they arrived in S City, it was already night, and An Ning and Bai Jun were arranged to live in the same room.

The scenes filmed in S City are mainly festive, good brother, and Xiaoxin.

Xiqing finally slowly went to destruction under the influence of Brother Liang, and this part of the drama can be regarded as the highlight.

The strange thing is that the actor Huo Ziqiu has not been seen for a long time, and Zheng Wei doesn't seem to be in a hurry, but is just methodically preparing for the start-up.

An Ning was not idle, and followed Zheng Weidong to look west every day.

Two days later, on October 10, it was finally the day when "Festive" officially started.

The camera is covered with a red cloth, and a banner of "The movie "Festive" is hung behind it, and on a flat ground in front of it, there is an incense table about three meters long, on which is placed a roast suckling pig, several plates of fruit and snacks, and an incense burner is placed on the innermost side. A candle was lit on each side of the incense table.

An Ning and Bai Jun arrived early, and Xu Yan asked An Ning curiously: "Sister An Ning, why do you have to burn incense when you turn on the machine?" ”

An Ning said: "The mainland did not have this habit originally, but later as Hong Kong directors and production teams entered the mainland, they gradually brought this practice over. By now, it has become a ritual to turn on the machine and burn incense. ”

Bai Jun smacked his lips and said, "I heard that even the incense platform is particular about what is placed on it." ”

An Ning smiled: "Generally speaking, either a pig's head or a whole roast suckling pig is placed at the outermost end of the incense case. In the second row, there are four kinds of domestic livestock and poultry meat, chickens, ducks, fish, and sheep, followed by 4 plates of fruits and 4 plates of snacks, each plate contains 4 items, symbolizing "everything is safe". An incense burner is placed on the innermost side, and then a candle must be lit on the left and right sides of the incense table. ”

Xu Yan showed a suddenly realized expression and nodded: "It turns out that there are so many exquisiteness." ”

While a few people were talking, a black nanny car drove in and stopped, the door opened, and it was the actor Huo Ziqiu, who had been vacationing on the Great Barrier Reef, who came out.

Because the movie "Festive" is a small investment, Zheng Wei did not hold any press conferences, so many media reporters who got the news were waiting next to him early in the morning. At this time, he immediately rushed up to surround Huo Ziqiu, and scrambled to hand the microphone in his hand to Huo Ziqiu.

"Huo Yingdi, can you tell me why you want to take on a play that is not favored by everyone?"

"Do you think you can bring this movie back to life with your box office appeal?"

"I heard that the heroine of this play is a newcomer, do you think you can show your acting skills by playing against her?"

“……”

Although An Ning stood far away, he could still see the tiredness on Huo Ziqiu's face, and although he was wearing a pair of black superlights, he still couldn't hide it.

She thought to herself, why didn't Huo Yingdi look like he was just going on vacation but like he had just gone to the battlefield?

In the face of reporters' long guns and short guns and all kinds of interrogation, Huo Ziqiu did not speak, and his agent Wang Donglei said loudly while pulling away those microphones and cameras: "Everyone, Ziqiu just got off the plane, and now he is very tired, so he will not answer any questions for the time being." ”

Zheng Wei also stepped forward and said: "Friends from the media, the start-up ceremony of our crew is about to start, if you have any questions, please wait for the start-up ceremony to ask." ”

In this way, he dragged and dragged Huo Ziqiu out of the crowd.

Huo Ziqiu arrived, and the leading actors of the crew were almost there. Except for Xiqing, Brother Liang, and Xiaoxin, only the actor who played Mingguang did not arrive. But Mingguang's scene was not filmed in S City, so the time of joining the group was inconsistent with the other three.

The incense was put on, the red cloth was removed, and the main members of the crew took a group photo under the banner, and the start-up ceremony was over.

An Ning happened to be standing next to Huo Ziqiu, and when she saw him take off his sunglasses, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked very haggard, she couldn't help asking, "How are you?" Are you okay? ”

"It's fine." Huo Ziqiu agreed lightly, and put his sunglasses back on, obviously not wanting to say more.

An Ning is not good at caring about people, and now he touched a soft nail, and he didn't care, just muttered: "Okay, it's okay, it's okay, your old man is happy." ”
