Chapter 7 Cards and Meals
Lei Qiu said that she was going to study the book "The Old Man Sings" at home today, and Song Pingguo's first question was: "What do you eat at noon?" Gnawing on apples? ”
"Instant noodles." Raichu looked indifferent, "I'm out of front for a while." ”
"Blanch the noodles in boiling water, spread them out and fry them in a pan, sprinkle a little spice powder packet, add a few pieces of ham sausage and eggs."
"Bow down to me."
"Excuse me."
As soon as Song Pingguo arrived in Hengdian, he was found by the anxious Xia Yiming.
"Director Xia? What's the matter? Song Pingguo parked the truck and looked at Xia Yiming suspiciously, "Lei Qiu didn't go out today, ...... you call her?"
"Don't look for Raichu, I'll come for you." Xia Yiming stepped forward as if he had seen a savior, "Lao Gong said that the old man still sang that when filming started, the crew's lunch box was all yours." ”
“…… Old Gong? ”
"Ahem...... It's Gong Xiaoye. ”
After listening to Xia Yiming tell the whole thing, Song Pingguo felt that in his mind, Gong Xiaoye's image suddenly became ...... It's even weirder.
Bai Liming, the original author of "The Old Man Still Sings", saw that he was actually a loyal fan of himself who came to buy the film and television adaptation rights, and he was also very excited, and carefully asked Gong Xiao if he could not make major changes to the plot and try to conform to the original work. Of course, Gong Xiao readily agreed, promising that she would definitely supervise the screenwriter well, and then she also asked if she could use it for Baili Ming after the screenwriter was adapted, and then asked her to add a character to it.
That's right, this character is the heroic Gong Xiaoye, who is happy to take revenge.
So Xia Yiming was sent to personally order a delicious boxed lunch for Gong Xiao, who was about to embark on the road of an actor. It's really a story with twists and turns that makes people feel that there is no problem at all when it happens to Gong Xiaoye.
Song Pingguo's business today is exceptionally good, just after noon, the warehouse of the pickup truck bottomed out, she simply closed the stall early, and went back with the remaining four or five boxes to see if Lei Qiu was starved to death because he was too backbone and refused to eat instant noodles.
Fortunately, as soon as she reached the staircase, she heard a heart-filled shout from Lei Qiu's room: "You were on the Mobei battlefield back then, but you didn't say that!" ”
"Raichu?" Song Pingguo tentatively knocked on the door, "I'm bringing you food." ”
"The door is open, just come in."
"What are you doing?!" After pushing open the door, Song Pingguo looked at Lei Qiu who was standing on a chair holding a book and reading aloud with a shocked face, "Will there be too much script reading?" ”
"Do you know about script readings?" Lei Qiu jumped down from the chair, took a piece of paper and wiped it, and sat at the table to take the two boxed lunches in Song Pingguo's hands, "What is it today?" ”
"Curry rice."
Raichu weakly raised his hand: "Is there any meat?" ”
Song Pingguo replied to her with a dark face: "Curry chicken rice." ”
When Lei Qiu lowered his head and picked out all the carrots in the curry, Song Pingguo's face darkened.
"Okay, okay, allow me to be a picky eater, okay?" Raichu swallowed a mouth full of curry rice, looked up and said, "I'm bothered enough just how to solve the problem of playing when I hear the card, stop forcing me to eat carrots." ”
"I'll spare you for the time being." Song Pingguo snorted, "Why did your master think of using a card as a password to let you play?" ”
"I can't blame my master, she didn't expect me to act in a TV series at that time...... Ha...... This thing is so spicy......"
Lei Qiu, who usually looks like she lives forever in autumn, began to sweat as soon as she ate spicy food, watching her raise her hand to wipe the sweat from her nose every few seconds, Song Ping lowered her head in confusion and tasted the curry in the lunch box: "Is it really spicy?" No, I'm still using a sweet Malaysian curry - spicy and you still eat it so hard? ”
"Because it's spicy and delicious, people don't want to have something like this in the summer."
Song Pingguo thought for a while, and said, "Or, you can ask the director to call something else instead?" Anyway, as long as it's not a card, the rest shouldn't affect you, right? ”
Raichu clapped his hands violently: "I remembered!" ”
Then he called Xia Yiming on the spot: "Lao Xia, when you shoot the old man still singing, can you not call the card?" ”
"Huh?"
"You're shouting for dinner."
According to Lei Chu, when she was rehearsing Peking Opera at the opera school, everyone was very diligent, and often no one stopped to rest in the morning, until a cordial cry from Teacher Pichu came from not far away.
"It's time to eat!"
Then everyone rushed to the cafeteria like wild dogs, and after eating, they took a nap and immediately continued.
"Good, good, very good." Song Pingguo clapped her hands, "It seems that if you want to be an actor, you have to play more first." ”
Lei Qiu wants to play the supporting role Shan Siyan, Gong Xiao also said that she "doesn't like it very much", but there are a lot of scenes, she is the sister of Shan Jinxiu, the actor of "The Old Man Still Sings", and she has a lot of opinions about her brother's weakness after he ascended the throne, but she can't interfere too much, so she has to try to help her brother repair the relationship with his old friend.
While there are many scenes, Shan Siyan is also a very charismatic character, if she hadn't saved Shan Jinxiu in the cruel palace struggle, Shan Jinxiu would not necessarily have escaped the poisonous hands of her brother, and Shan Jinxiu was able to inherit the throne, thanks to a large part of Shan Siyan.
Shan Jinxiu is kind by nature and willing to think about the people, but he is also too indecisive, easy to be influenced by others, and is used by the flamboyant traitors, he gave up on himself after several mistakes in a row, so that his friends before ascending the throne gradually became disappointed in him, at this time, only Shan Siyan was still patiently accompanied by Shan Jinxiu, wanting him to cheer up again.
The emotional line of this book does not account for a large proportion, and Shan Jinxiu's queen appears very rarely, and it has little impact on the main plot. The most outstanding female character is actually the female general Fang Che, followed by Shan Jinxiu's sister, Shan Siyan.
"That's the plot?" After listening to Lei Qiu's speech, Song Pingguo took the book and flipped through it, "It's strange that it has to be popular, it doesn't sound like the type that can be popular now." ”
There is no fierce outburst of emotion in the whole book, the first half is the helpless sadness of the passage of time, and the second half is the wordless trust and loyalty of the partner, as if it is just a faint story, telling the life of an emperor - it is not quite a life of ups and downs. Although Gong Xiao also likes this style very much, he can also understand why it can't become popular.
However, Gong Xiao also bought "The Old Man Still Sings" and made it into a TV series, and what he wanted was not that it would be popular.
She wanted the story to come alive in front of her, to be acted out in front of her eyes in another way, and as for how much she could earn, she had very low requirements.
"Lao Xia, you shoot well, I don't blame you if you don't make money, just don't lose money, my dad shouldn't let me shoot next time."
Gong Xiaoye's father not only quit drinking because of stomach bleeding, but also had a psychological shadow on this kind of banquet since then, he handed over all the things in the TV series to Gong Xiaoye, saying that it is whatever she wants, don't lose money.
"I said, Lao Gong, with your kind of shooting, it will be quite difficult to lose money." Xia Yiming looked at Gong Xiaoye depressedly, "I'll try my best, okay?" ”
"What's so difficult, shouldn't we try not to engage in extravagance and waste? You see, I came here to be an actor for you to save money. Gong Xiao also looked down at the phone screen, "Did you find the actor who asked you to find Shan Jinxiu last time?" ”
"Found is found." Xia Yiming was even more depressed, "But Lao Gong, if you use him as the leading actor, I will definitely lose money if I bet a hundred with you." ”
Gong Xiao also fell in love at a glance, and asked Xia Yiming to find an actor to play Shan Jinxiu called Lu An.
This Lu An is twenty-seven years old this year, he is indeed very diligent, he keeps filming TV series, and he also shows his face or plays a supporting role in several movies, but he has a fatal problem, that is, he is poisonous.
Speaking of face, Lu An's face is impeccable, especially in costume dramas, so he basically plays the handsome son in costume dramas. Speaking of acting skills, Lu An's acting skills are average, but the structure of an industry is olive-shaped most of the time, there are so many top-notch acting skills, and there are so many outrageous acting skills, Lu An's "average", plus he himself is quite diligent, and the face that makes people speechless will not be so bad.
The whole reason is that he is poisonous.
Whether it is a TV series or a few movies, as long as Lu An appears, the results of the works will inevitably be far lower than expected, and most of them are not low caused by prediction errors, they are unbelievably low, at least the Douban scores of those movies are not too low, but the box office at that time was outrageously low.
Naturally, some people compared these films with good quality, but the ratings or box office were miserable, and found that the only thing they have in common is that Lu An participated.
also blamed Lu An for being unlucky, the time when that person posted about this happened to coincide with the summer vacation, #陆安有毒#很快就成了热门话题之一, the more everyone analyzed, the more they felt that it made sense.
Although Lu An has also attracted a lot of fans, what is even more unfortunate is that the industry also thinks that it is really Lu An's bad luck. This group of professionals got together and analyzed it over and over again, but they couldn't figure out what was going on, there were two possibilities in total, one was poisonous and the other was a coincidence-if you really could hit this kind of coincidence, then Lu An was poisonous enough.
So no matter how Lu An's fans shouted grievances at him, few people had the courage to dare to find Lu An to film, when Xia Yiming went to his agent, the agent also stared at Xia Yiming with a ghostly expression, Xia Yiming bowed again and again before leaving, thanking Xia Yiming for giving Lu An this opportunity.
Xia Yiming thought to himself, don't thank me, if Gong Xiao didn't ask for it, who would have the brains to come to Lu An.
Another thing that made Xia Yiming feel that Gong Xiao also had a brain bag was that she actually asked Lei Qiu to play Shan Siyan. According to Xia Yiming's impression of Lei Qiu, her most suitable role should be Fang Che, a heroic and sharp female general, no matter how bad Lei Qiu is, she can save some money for a stand-in - she can complete most of the martial arts actions by herself.
Compared with Fang Che's activity on the battlefield, Shan Siyan is more of a power struggle in the court, with a typical strong heart and gentle appearance.
Judging from the current situation, the actors of Shan Siyan and Fang Che are fundamentally reversed.
"Oh Lao Xia, then you didn't say it to me, just rest assured to shoot, if I lose money, my dad won't be too difficult for me anyway."
"I'm afraid that this TV series will become a failure in my directorial history."
"Don't worry, I think this is definitely a milestone in your directorial history."
