3. Fairy Becomes Goddess (3)
Chapter 3: The Fairy Becomes a Goddess (3)
"That Year" is about to be completed, and Jiang Xinyu realized that Jeremy and Bai Qianqian are already quite familiar, and he doesn't know whether to remind Jeremy to keep his distance from Bai Qianqian. He always thought that Jeremy just liked to contact Bai Qianqian like an idol, but he didn't expect that after three months, Jeremy almost sold him and Huang Taijing.
"Uhey, when are we going to go to Myeongdong together?" Jeremy had been confined for three months, and the thought that he would be able to walk around was indescribably pleasant.
Bai Qianqian looked at Jeremy with some apologies and said, "After the finalization, I'm going to fly to France to shoot the next work." When I'm done with all the shooting trips, I'll make an appointment when the time comes! However, it is estimated that you can't go to Myeongdong, there are too many people, and if you are recognized, you will definitely get people to turn their backs. โ
"Okay. Then remember to ask me when you come back! Jeremy was a little unhappy, but he knew that he would misunderstand fans if he got too close to Bai Qianqian, but he rarely had a good friend with similar interests, he really didn't want to care about the gossip outside, people only live in the moment.
"There's no way, whoever makes us all celebrities, there are many celebrities." Bai Qianqian's words are not wrong at all, she interacts with Jeremy on Twitter on weekdays, and Han Liyan has said several times openly and secretly that she wants her to keep her distance from Jeremy.
Fortunately, Bai Qianqian rejected Jeremy's mention in time, otherwise Jiang Xinyu would have wondered if she was deliberately pulling Jeremy to brush up on the topic. Recently, A.N. Jell is about to release a new album, and according to the president's temperament, it is estimated that he will be very happy to take Bai Qianqian at this time! Jeremy is not a foolish person, so he naturally understands what Bai Qianqian means, he can only put away his petty temperament.
"That Year" is expected to be released in โกโก, when the popularity of the new album has just gone down, and Jiang Xinyu and Jeremy's movie will be released again, and the popularity will not decrease by then, and there will definitely be more and more work in hand. Jiang Xinyu is not conspicuous in the group, this time the male lead was originally played by Huang Taijing, but Huang Taijing didn't want to shoot, so he fought for this role.
Jiang Xinyu has always been capable, but he likes to hide behind his back. I don't know why, after the filming of this movie ended, he had an unprecedented momentum. He wants to prove himself, and he wants more people to know him Jiang Xinyu, not the gentle Jiang Xinyu of A.N. Jell.
After the official completion of "That Year", Bai Qianqian flew non-stop to France to shoot another film "Promotion", which was filmed in Lyon, France, New York in the United States and Ottawa, Canada, with an investment of about ten times more than "That Year".
The investor is cheerful and generous, and the cast should not be underestimated, the actor is Zhang Yincheng, who just won the best actor in Cannes, and the rest of the actors are among the best names in South Korea, so the filming investors and directors and screenwriters are particularly concerned.
It wasn't until she followed Bai Qianqian to Lyon that Han Liyan knew that they had taken on a movie with absolute box office appeal, with an investment conservatively estimated at more than one billion yuan. When she came to the set, she didn't know what to do, she didn't speak English well, and she didn't know French at all. For a while, she was a little anxious in her heart, knowing that in this case, she should have asked the representative to find some people who knew French and English, and she would not be tied down in anything.
Compared with Han Liyan's anxiety, Bai Qianqian can be said to be calm. Some senior actors don't know why this movie will find her, a fledgling actress, as the heroine, and subconsciously think that it is estimated that the investor is shoehorned in, and I don't know if it will affect the filming progress and quality of this movie.
"Let me introduce to you, it is the investor's Dong Li, Mr. Zhang, and Manager Quan...... Director Zhao is familiar with the people who began to introduce the investor, and the start-up ceremony was held today, and the investor took it by the way to see how their filming was carried out, which is also understandable.
As soon as Bai Qianqian saw the investor, she understood that the biggest investor this time was the Liu family, which means that it must be her brother Liu Renquan who made the decision. She was very relieved in her heart, as long as there was something that could not be put on the surface, as long as she secretly talked to Liu Renquan, there would be no business for her.
To be honest, if Liu Renquan hadn't decided to invest, it is estimated that this film would not have invited so many big names to come over to shoot the film. It's just that she doesn't need Bai Qianqian to manage this qiฤ, she just needs to concentrate on filming a good show.
When it came time to actually shoot, Bai Qianqian quickly entered the state, and with the filming experience of "That Year", "Promotion" better grasped how to figure out the role, which also made the director and many actors who worked together look at her with admiration. Especially Zhang Yincheng, who often cooperates with her in rival plays, he doesn't dare to relax a little, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. He has just won the Cannes Best Actor, and the film has been a success, and it has consolidated its popularity and status in China.
"Uhey, do you know French?" Han Liyan looked at Bai Qianqian with a look of surprise, originally she was still worried that she was not familiar with life in France, she was the only one by her side, and she didn't know if she could do it, just when she was hesitating, she knew that it was all in vain.
"Yes, it's okay to talk every day." Bai Qianqian said disapprerovingly.
"I'm worried about it!"
"Worried? What to worry about? Bai Qianqian didn't know how long Han Liyan had been worried, she couldn't eat or sleep well for three whole days, but Bai Qianqian ate and slept well, and she was more comfortable than when she stayed in Seoul.
Han Liyan didn't know what to answer Bai Qianqian, indeed, she really didn't know what to worry about. Worried about the language barrier, worried about food and housing? Come to think of it, it doesn't seem like she needs to worry about anything. She was stupidly worried for three days, which was really unfounded.
"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge." Bai Qianqian handed over a bottle of water and said, "Your English is not bad, and you have no problem in France." What's more, in the crew, you don't have to think too much about eating and living. The director is still a domestic director, not a foreign director, there is no language barrier at all, and many of the logistics staff in the crew can speak French, so you don't have to worry too much. โ
"......" After Bai Qianqian finished speaking, Han Liyan couldn't help but think that her worries were so stupid that she couldn't be stupid anymore, and soon she put away her careful thoughts and put herself back into work.
The location of this shooting is Lyon, a city with a long history, during a half-day break, Bai Qianqian took Han Liyan to a nearby museum to visit, and then browsed the small shop by the way, bought some small pieces, and drank afternoon tea, which was simply comfortable and pleasant, as if they were here for vacation, not work.
"It's so casual, it's so fun!" Han Liyan took a sip of black tea, she was in a very happy mood, she never thought that working abroad could be so enjoyable. When I was in South Korea before, I walked back and forth between the company and Bai Qianqian's house every day, and now it is a lot easier to go abroad, but unfortunately she is not very suitable for foreign food, otherwise she will be happier.
Bai Qianqian has always liked to travel in the mountains and rivers, and she is very content to be able to squeeze out half a day for her to walk around when she comes to Lyon. And this small half day was freed up because Zhang Yincheng was going to return to China to attend an important event. She is the least experienced in the crew, she can't say that she wants to walk around Lyon and leave the set, and occasionally she has to shoot with the rumors.
Facing the senior actors in the circle, Bai Qianqian wants to rely on this film to get closer to them. Moreover, many people began to inquire about who she really was, and she believed that they would soon find out who she was.
The filming in France soon came to an end, and the next thing was the framing of the United States and Canada, which were all only small films, and the shooting speed was very compact, and in the process of shooting, Bai Qianqian also learned a lot of things. Sure enough, he is an actor with a good reputation in the industry, and he can learn a lot of useful things even if he observes it on the spot. As everyone gradually got to know each other, everyone gradually started joking at the scene, and they were happy watching each other.
Just when the filming of "Promotion" was in full swing, "That Year" had already finalized the release time, and discussed the follow-up publicity work with Bai Qianqian in advance. "That Year" was officially released in South Korea on August 15, and the following month it was released in Japan, China and other Asian countries. As one of the leading actors, Bai Qianqian is bound to follow the crew to promote everywhere, and even more so to promote on the show.
Fortunately, the filming of "Promotion" is expected to be completed in mid to late August, which also makes Bai Qianqian's work arrangements properly arranged, and she will be busier and busier. In addition to running the set, it is also necessary to attend endorsement activities and start preparing for the cooperation of the next film. Bai Qianqian didn't want to shoot the next movie so soon, but this movie was the company's plan to launch new artists and wanted to use her popularity to drive newcomers, so she could only agree.
"Brother?" Bai Qianqian looked at Liu Renquan, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and walked up to him. I didn't expect him to show up so soon, and I thought he would hide and not show up for a while.
"Airen." When Liu Renquan saw Bai Qianqian, he really sighed in his heart. When she wanted to be a star, her whole family was against it, and she was admitted to a good university, even if her ability was average, but according to the power of the Liu family, how could she find a decent job. Being a star is hard and doesn't make money, they are afraid that she will work hard and that she will be tired.
Bai Qianqian pulled Liu Renquan to talk about her life in the past few years, although the whole family opposes her becoming a star, but the family affection is inseparable. How strong the original owner is, she doesn't need others to say that she knows. The family objected, so she insisted on not contacting the family, just waiting to break out of the world. However, she knew very well in her heart that it would be very difficult to become famous without relying on the Liu family, so no matter how much hardship she had at the beginning, she gritted her teeth and persevered. But this circle is not easy to mix, and she has been mixed for three or four years, she is just a popular star.
"I thought you would show up in France, why did you show up as soon as I went back to South Korea, brother?" Bai Qianqian couldn't help but joke about Liu Renquan, as soon as the investor of "Promotion" appeared, she knew that Liu Renquan was definitely in France, but he didn't show up.
Liu Renquan touched Bai Qianqian's head and said, "Do you really want the whole crew to know that you are a relation?" Is that really okay? said that you have to work hard, why did you start to figure out filming in the past few months, I am still wondering, I thought you were going to devote yourself to the singing career! โ
"What! Brother, you don't care about people. Bai Qianqian didn't want to tell Liu Renquan too much about her thoughts on work, it was easy to expose the difference between her and the original owner's ideas, she had to be careful not to let Liu Renquan notice anything.
"Alright, let's go home for dinner on the weekend." Liu Renquan said helplessly: "You and your father have been falling out for so long, don't you admit your mistake first." Mom has been thinking about you for so long, as long as you admit your mistakes, Dad can still forgive you. You're Dad's sweetheart. โ
Bai Qianqian pouted and said, "Got it." โ
Liu Renquan said helplessly: "Don't be angry with dad anymore." You know he's always cared about you, and you haven't been home for years. โ
"Yes." Bai Qianqian was silent for a moment, and finally answered Liu Renquan's words.
