Chapter 61
Zhang Fang, a young actor next to him, listened to Lu Chengyu talking with famous artists for a while, and turned his head to talk to a few assistants behind him. Although he took into account Lu Chengyu's identity, he didn't think much of Lu Chengyu's acting skills, but he still relied on the backstage to squeeze into the crew.
He became famous at a young age, although he is now less than thirty years old, he is already a well-known celebrity, and this time starring in "Qiankun" is already a sure thing, but originally his favorite major role was arranged to Lu Chengyu, and he only got a clerk whose role was not as good as the other party.
Entering the restaurant, the seats are also exquisite, the main table must be the director and producer and several international superstars in China, the sub-table is the domestic super wrist and the identity and background, the same is true of the other tables, although there is no clear ranking according to seniority, but a few emcees quietly lead these people to the table where they should sit, and everyone present is also knowledgeable and will not sit where they should not sit.
Lu Chengyu originally planned to find a seat at the third table, but he was arranged to the sub-table, and looking at the superstars who would cause fan congestion when they walked out of the table casually, he picked a lower seat very interestingly.
Who knew that as soon as he sat down, there was a person sitting on the left, he glanced at it, his eyebrows trembled slightly, this turned out to be the famous Zhou Qingrong in the circle, the king of Zhou. As a junior, he bowed politely to Zhou Qingrong. Although he has no hobby of chasing stars, he has watched several TV series played by Zhou Qingrong.
"Xiao Lu is playing my subordinate in the play, right?" Zhou Qingrong smiled at Lu Chengyu with a gentle face, looking very approachable, he was over forty years old, and from the outside, he was only about thirty, "With this handsome subordinate, I, the chief, am under pressure." ”
"Brother Zhou, don't make fun of other people's children," a certain actress over fifty years old next to her heard this, and said with a smile, "Those who like you are all women over thirty years old, and those who like our Xiaolu are all young girls, and the two of you appear in one shot, that is, women who won the whole country in one fell swoop." So, don't be stressed. ”
As soon as the actress's words spoke, she immediately won the approval of others. There are all people in this circle, and they are more or less familiar, so soon someone started Zhou Qingrong's jokes, but they were all good-natured jokes, and there was a faint meaning of holding Lu Chengyu.
Probably everyone knows in their hearts that no matter how well they mix, if they post a sentence above, they may not be filming from now on, and they will disappear naturally, and even their fans will not find anything wrong.
Lu Chengyu also knew the difficulties in the Dao circle, so he always put on the posture of a junior to get along with these people, and occasionally made a joke with these people, but he didn't show too close to these people from beginning to end.
The main reason why he came to participate in "Qiankun" is to check some things that he didn't know in his previous life, and to be familiar with the behavior style of some actors, so as to determine which actors can be used and which actors can't be used when he invests in movies in the future.
The other artists present also know that Lu Chengyu's identity is different from them, they hold Lu Chengyu because of the power of the Mu family, and because Lu Chengyu himself is a rich and well-connected master, and it is inevitable that there will be no opportunity to cooperate in the future.
Zhang Fang was originally a little unhappy with Lu Chengyu, but seeing that Zhou Qingrong was more powerful than himself, he was polite to Lu Chengyu, and most of the unhappiness in his heart was gone, and he was more afraid of Lu Chengyu.
There was nothing good to eat at the start-up banquet, but Lu Chengyu was familiar with these big names in the circle. The first scene in the afternoon is a drinking party that requires a lot of actors to appear, Lu Chengyu is a major from a rich family in the play, so in this scene, he needs to appear in a suit and leather boots that were popular in the last century.
The footage of such a drinking party was shot by several groups of cameras at the same time, with a bunch of people in your circle wearing fragrant clothes and sideburns in the middle, surrounded by crew members wearing coats or vests.
With so many big names coming together, it is simply that the eight immortals have their own magical powers, and it is easy to distinguish who is not good at acting and who is not suitable enough.
Director Qin originally thought that Lu Chengyu would be very unsuitable for this kind of shooting, but to his surprise, Lu Chengyu did not go wrong from beginning to end, and performed a rich major with noble birth and excellent grades perfectly, although it is not rare, but it is impossible to find anything wrong.
After filming the important drinking party scene, the stone in Director Qin's heart fell to the ground. No matter how many actors in the crew came in through the back door, now that he can shoot the results he wants, nothing else matters.
The drama "Qiankun" represents extraordinary significance, so the costumes and props of the actors are very exquisite, and the acting requirements for the actors are also very important. The big names who usually call for wind and rain outside have been scolded countless times in this play, and Lu Chengyu has also been yelled at by Director Qin. Although Director Qin is usually very amiable, when it comes to filming, he is simply the living king of Hades, and he has scolded countless people.
But any capable director, no matter how sleek or upright they are in their usual life, they have their own attitudes in filming, such as Director Qin and Zhang Shuo.
Lu Chengyu didn't think that the other party was deliberately embarrassing himself, and he learned a lot from filming during this time, so much so that an assistant director told him that he was still a little reluctant when he only had the last scene to die.
The requirements for blasting in the drama "Qiankun" are very high, with the goal of shooting the most realistic effect, and there are professional instructors to teach the actors how to pass the blasting point safely.
The military uniform on the major was full of dust, blood and charred black regiments, he was surrounded by all his fallen comrades, his eyes swept over the young faces, he staggered under his feet, looking at the armored car that was driven by the corpses of his comrades not far away, holding the national flag stained red by blood donations, he slowly raised his head with blood stains, looked at the blue sky and the brilliant sun above his head, and the hand holding the flagpole tightened, and the body that was originally weak due to excessive blood loss also stood straight.
"The people of the country will not die!"
"The country will not die!"
His pupils gradually dilated, as if he heard the sound of children singing the national anthem, and the hand holding the flagpole suddenly loosened, and the person fell down heavily, except for the flag stained red by blood still fluttering in the breeze.
Because this scene is a very important scene, the staff are surrounded by it, and when Lu Chengyu falls straight down, the mood of the whole staff seems to be heavy with this. Although there is no post-production and no music rendering in the live performance, Lu Chengyu accurately grasps the characteristics of the characters.
The major was born rich and noble, he did not understand the suffering of ordinary people, he was proud but qualified to be proud, but when the national disaster was imminent, he did not go abroad to take refuge like everyone else, but fulfilled his duty as a soldier and sacrificed his life for the country.
"Over!" Director Qin was silent for a moment, raised his hand to signal that the scene was over, and then the two assistants hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Chengyu, and He Long also took a coat and put it on Lu Chengyu.
In this kind of weather, wearing a thin military uniform is simply a crime, He Long and the other two assistants arranged by Yan Mu put clothes on Lu Chengyu while giving him warm boiled water.
"Xie Lu Xie," Lu Chengyu held the warm water cup, and only after taking a big sip did his voice sound less trembling, "Have you booked the ticket to go back tonight?" ”
"It's already booked," He Long knew that Lu Chengyu was worried about the company's affairs, so he said, "Mr. Yan has already said that he will pick you up at the airport tonight." ”
Lu Chengyu nodded, because of the filming of "Qiankun", he has been away from the capital for nearly a month, and this is still under the premise that Director Qin intends to shoot scenes about him in advance, otherwise, I don't know when Lu Dao will be able to go back.
Because of the confidentiality agreement, he has barely played Weibo in the past month, and usually calls Yan Mu when he is bored, so when he heard He Long mention Yan Mu, he realized that the main reason why he was in a hurry to return to the capital was to miss Yan Mu, not worry about the two movies he invested in, or something else.
"Xiao Lu did a good job in this finale scene," Director Qin stepped forward with a smile and patted Lu Chengyu's shoulder, and personally delivered the red envelope to Lu Chengyu, "I heard that you are going back tonight, I can't leave here, I can't send you personally, wait for my assistant to drive you to the airport." ”
Lu Chengyu took the red envelope, this is the rule in the crew, if you play a dead person or a dead scene, the crew will give a red envelope to get lucky. After listening to Director Qin's words, he thanked him and excused himself, and after seeing that Director Qin was very persistent, he agreed, "Then trouble Director Qin and your assistant, when you return to the capital, we will have a drink together." ”
"That's okay," Director Qin suddenly smiled even more happily, stretched out his hand and patted Lu Chengyu's shoulder, and sighed again, "It's a pity that such a good seedling doesn't mix in this circle." These days, although he has also scolded Lu Chengyu, his evaluation of Lu Chengyu in his heart is very good.
can be a person and act, and can grasp the feeling better than many professional actors, which is a pity.
After talking to Director Qin, Lu Chengyu went to the dressing room to remove his makeup, washed off the stains on his face, and changed into the military uniform on the □. ”
The makeup artist smiled and said: "If Mr. Lu enters the showbiz, he will definitely be a popular superstar." ”
"Forget it, I'm not suitable for this bowl of rice," Lu Chengyu stood up and pulled his hair that had been cut into inches, "I have no regrets about being able to act in this movie." ”
Liu Qiyan, who came in from outside, heard the conversation between the two, sat down in front of the other makeup mirror, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu will also shine in other circles, but it's a pity to stay in the entertainment industry." ”
Lu Chengyu glanced at Liu Qiyan with a smile: "Sister Yan thinks too highly of me." Although he suspected that Liu Qiyan had secretly helped him in the last car accident, Liu Qiyan had never been close to him since the filming of "Qiankun" began, as if he was just a stranger. He didn't expect that on the day he left, Liu Qiyan took the initiative to talk to him again.
Liu Qiyan smiled, picked up the eyebrow pencil to make up her eyebrows, and then said, "I heard that Mr. Lu is going back tonight," she put down the eyebrow pencil and looked at Lu Chengyu with a smile, "I wish you a smooth journey." ”
Lu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Xie Luxie." After he got out of the dressing room, his brows furrowed slightly, how could a smart woman like Liu Qiyan wish others a smooth journey before others took the plane? For people who often fly by plane, a small number of people will be taboo for others to say that the journey is smooth, and it is impossible for Liu Qiyan not to know this.
After saying goodbye to other familiar people, I got in the car driven by the director's assistant and rushed to the airport. He Long booked him a plane at half past seven in the evening, and now it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and he was worried that he would encounter traffic jams on the road and would not be able to get to the airport in time.
"Lu Chengyu is gone?" Zhang Fang listened to the talk of the staff around him, and said to his agent, "It's different to have a backstage, even the director takes care of him." ”
The agent looked around and made sure that no one heard Zhang Fang's words: "You don't say a few words, even King Zhou is polite to that person, and he is not ready to mix in the entertainment industry, so he will not be your competitor." ”
Zhang Fang was silent, sometimes people are so strange, knowing that the other party will not threaten him, but he just feels that the existence of the other party affects him. He knew in his heart that this was the so-called jealousy, but he couldn't even tell himself why he would be jealous of a person who had nothing to do with him.
