Chapter 13

During the period before the start of the movie, Gu Xue was extremely busy, there were many things to do, and time passed quickly like a white horse, and soon it was the day of the launch conference.

Before, Gu Xue had mentioned to Song Man that she hoped that the other party could play a cameo role in the movie, and when she made this request, she was a little hesitant, but she didn't expect Song Man to agree.

Gu Xue's invitation to Song Man to make a cameo was not a whim, but after some careful consideration. Although Song Man has faded out of the entertainment industry for many years, she has been a smash hit after all, and now, she is still very topical.

The first movie after the comeback of the former actress - this should be a good selling point.

The reason why Gu Xue hesitated was because Song Man was getting a divorce recently.

This is actually a good thing for movie promotion. Falling in love, getting divorced, and stirring up scandals often attract more media attention, so as to achieve a good publicity effect.

In a place like the entertainment industry, you are not afraid of scandals, hype, or lack of attention. Gu Xue's only worry was that Sister Song Man would mind others hyping up her private life, but seeing that the other party agreed so happily, Gu Xue's original concerns were gradually dispelled.

Before the press conference officially began, the hall was already full of reporters, most of whom came for Song Man. The number of media present and the popularity of the scene completely exceeded expectations, Gu Xue was quite satisfied with this, with the joining of Sister Song Man, it would undoubtedly save the crew a lot of publicity costs.

After all the main creators took the stage, there was a wave of small high-tide at the scene, and the reporters below pointed their cameras at Song Man, who was the last to come on stage, and there was a click and click shutter sound around him, hundreds of flashes flashed at the same time, and the white light and shadow made people a little dizzy.

Song Man was dressed in a dark red velvet dress, with proper makeup and dignified manners, and when the host introduced her name, she owed a little and smiled elegantly at the reporters in front of her.

Gu Xue sat in the first row of the stage, quietly watching the Qiฤ“ on the stage, the mobile phone in the bag suddenly rang, she took it out and took a look, it was a call from ADA.

Gu Xue pressed the answer button and said in a stiff tone: "The press conference has begun, when will you arrive?" โ€

"I'm sorry, we're stuck in a traffic jam here, and it may take a while to get there." Ada on the other end of the line apologized insincerely.

Gu Xue said "Got it", and then cut off the phone directly, she didn't want to listen to it anymore, these people simply didn't have a sense of time, they were nearly an hour late on the day they signed the contract, and they were late for the press conference, so they really regarded her here as a teahouse shop? Come when you want?

Halfway through the press conference, Mu Qiancheng finally arrived, wearing a black striped suit and brown sunglasses, and walked in grindingly. When he saw so many reporters at the scene, Mu Qiancheng was obviously stunned, and then he walked onto the stage neatly and quickly posed a few poses for reporters to take pictures.

When the reporters below saw that he was in sunglasses and posing, they thought that a big name had come, and they filmed him one after another, until the host introduced that this was Mu Qiancheng, the actor of the male number one, everyone suddenly felt deceived, and they moved the camera back to Song Man.

For a while, no one paid attention to Mu Qiancheng anymore, so he had to take off his sunglasses stupidly.

After the press conference, it was time for the media to visit. The focus of various media interviews with Wรจn still fell on Song Man, and the questions were also varied, some people asked Song Man if he planned to make an official comeback, what his plans were in the future, and some people asked about the topic of divorce.

Song Man always smiled, patiently answered every question, and when she encountered some embarrassing questions, she would also resolve the past very skillfully.

Compared with the excitement on Song Man's side, Mu Qiancheng's side is much more deserted, he holds the title of male number one, but he is not as popular as a guest actor, and he is inevitably a little aggrieved in his heart.

After several rounds of interviews, a reporter finally asked Mu Qiancheng two questions, the first question was: How do you feel about the first movie you participated in?

The second question is: What do you think of Mr. Song Man in the same crew?

Mu Qiancheng raised the microphone, opened his mouth and said: "Let's start shooting small movies first, I believe that there will definitely be big films coming to me in the future." โ€

As for Song Man, he commented like this: "I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it." โ€

Song Man's self-cultivation is very good, and he still keeps smiling.

But Gu Xue in the audience frowned, she couldn't help but sigh, how low is this person's EQ? The first question aside, the second question is answered in a staggering way. In any case, Song Man is a senior, and Mu Qiancheng should at least give the other party a minimum of respect in front of so many media.

The day after the press conference, the film officially started. Gu Xue is not only the boss this time, but also serves as a producer, so she also has to go to the filming location with the crew.

On the eve of departure, she received a strange call, and after answering it, she found that it was Sui Yun calling.

"Mr. Gu, hello." Sui Yun's voice was very soft, and his speech speed was also very slow.

Gu Xue was about to rush to the set, and her tone was a little anxious, "Hello, is there something wrong with me?" โ€

Sui Yun didn't go around the bend anymore, "You said last time that you need field workers over there, don't you know if there is still a shortage of people?" โ€

"You still need people here, if you want to work on the spot, just go to the set, I'll give you the address." Gu Xue almost forgot about the field work, after giving Sui Yun a business card last time, the other party never called her, Gu Xue thought that this matter was over.

Sui Yun wrote down the address of the set, and then hung up the phone.

He put his phone back in his pocket, took a few steps forward, and sat down on a bench by the side of the road. If he had a choice, he would never have made such a call.

When he saw the words "President" written on the business card, Sui Yun realized that Gu Xue and himself were people of two worlds, although he was poor, he was also poor and ambitious, and he couldn't make people feel that he wanted to hug the thighs of a rich man, or wanted to climb a high branch or something.

Besides, Wen Minxuan had already misunderstood himself, so he couldn't wade into this troubled water.

However, what Sui Yun didn't expect was that the scene in Hengshi was actually repeated in Haishi, and he began to lose his job one after another.

During this time, he changed jobs several times, and after less than a week of work in each job, he was fired for no reason. He knew that it must be Wen Minxuan who was behind the scenes, including those things that happened in Hengshi, and they had nothing to do with this person.

Sui Yun found that he was now in a dilemma. He can't go back to Hengshi because he doesn't want his parents to worry, and even if he does, he may not be able to find a job. But if he can't find a job and has no financial resources, he can't stay in Haishi at all.

Therefore, he finally called Gu Xue.

Working for Gu Xue is actually risky, and doing so may anger Wen Minxuan, causing the other party to do more excessive things. But Sui Yun can't manage so much anymore, and nothing is more important than surviving.

Moreover, as the saying goes: The most dangerous place is the safest place, and perhaps, staying by Gu Xue's side is the safest.

After becoming a field worker, Sui Yun worked very hard, but he was very low-key, and sometimes when he met Gu Xue on the set, he just nodded and said hello, and then hurriedly walked away. He doesn't want his colleagues to know that he knows his boss, and he doesn't want people to think that he came in through connections.

In the eyes of others, Sui Yun is an ordinary staff member who can no longer be ordinary.

If you want to say that the best popularity on the set, there is no one like Jian Feng. finally had the opportunity to direct the first movie in his life, Jian Feng was excited, he was like a chicken blood all day long, talking to actors, discussing the script with Dong Lehui and them, and often joking with the staff, in just one or two days, he was basically familiar with the colleagues in the crew.

After Mu Qiancheng joined the group, he rarely took the initiative to communicate with others, except for the two assistants around him and ADA, he basically ignored other colleagues, and sat there playing with his mobile phone all day long.

Assistant director Chen Yan came over to talk to him, and Mu Qiancheng put down his mobile phone. Chen Yan talked about today's shooting task, Mu Qiancheng sat quietly and listened, listening, he suddenly had an objection to one of the scenes, "Director, I think there is a problem with the script." โ€

Dong Lehui was chatting with the lighting engineer nearby, and when he heard this, he immediately walked over, "What's wrong with the script?" โ€

Mu Qiancheng glanced at him, pointed to a scene in the script, and said, "Screenwriter, can you delete this scene?" โ€

The scene he said happened on the way when the actor went out to deliver a courier. The protagonist Ejay rode an electric car and drove on a potholed path, when it suddenly rained, and he didn't pay attention, and he slipped and fell on the mud with the car.

Dong Lehui read the script back and forth several times, but didn't think there was anything wrong with this scene, "Why did you delete it?" โ€

"This scene is too damaging to my image."

Mu Qiancheng's answer made people cry and laugh a little, Dong Lehui opened his mouth and made a "Huh? Without waiting for him to squeak, Mu Qiancheng continued: "Also, the scenes of wrestling, raining, and being chased and beaten in the script have also been deleted." โ€

Dong Lehui is completely stupid now. This drama tells the story of a young man living at the bottom of society, in the process of studying, working, and falling in love, a series of ridiculous things.

If according to Mu Qiancheng's request, all the "detrimental" image scenes are deleted, then this movie will become a vulgar urban idol drama, except for the male protagonist, it is simply useless.

"These can't be deleted, and the plot won't be complete if they are deleted." Dong Lehui said weakly.

Mu Qiancheng threw down the script, took out his mobile phone again, and played the game, "It's okay if you don't delete it, then help me find a stand-in." โ€

"These plots account for 40% of the whole play, you just don't act, just let the stand-in play the male lead." A low male voice sounded from not far away, Mu Qiancheng raised his head, and saw Jian Feng walking towards this side.

Dong Lehui is a good man, and he speaks more tactfully, and he doesn't want to offend people. Jian Feng's temper is not so good, he has long seen that Mu Qiancheng is not pleasing to his eyes, especially the other party's expression at the press conference, which makes him even more disgusted, at this moment, when he heard that Mu Qiancheng forced Dong Lehui to change the script, he couldn't help but stepped forward and mocked.

Mu Qiancheng stared at him for a while, and then opened his mouth lightly: "Director Jian, it's a bit angry today." โ€

Jian Feng snorted coldly, "No matter how angry I am, I can't compare to someone's tone, I really think I'm a popular movie star, and I still want to find a stand-in?" โ€

Mu Qiancheng straightened his face, "I'm just a little actor, how can I compare with Director Jian?" You're a 'well-known' director. โ€

Jian Feng ignored the ridicule in the other party's words and continued: "It stands to reason that you should call me senior brother, but the two of us really graduated from the same school?" Can you be admitted to film school even if you are like this? โ€

The two were arguing with each other, and seeing that they were about to quarrel, Dong Lehui hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game: "Jian Feng, it seems that someone over there has called you, hurry up, filming will start soon." โ€

Dong Lehui took Jian Feng away in time, which avoided further escalation of the contradiction.

The first scene filmed today was when the actor Ejay was bullied by the boss's daughter in the company. According to the requirements of the script, the female protagonist has to scold the male protagonist, and then, casually pick up a glass of water on the table and pour it on the other party.

The heroine's actor is a newcomer, and she was already a little nervous, and Mu Qiancheng always kept a straight face and looked fierce, which made her even more nervous, and she was also timid when she acted, and she couldn't let go. After a scene, she herself is more like the person who was bullied.

Jian Feng was very dissatisfied with her appearance, and frequently shouted at her: "Han Yiqing, what's the matter with you?" It's soft, it's not imposing at all, it's all over again. โ€

After filming several times, Han Yiqing finally got the part of scolding, however, there was a problem again when it came to splashing water. She trembled and picked up the water cup and splashed it forward, and the water in the cup had already spilled on the ground before it touched Mu Qiancheng.

"Cards!" Jian Feng couldn't stand it anymore, and walked quickly to Han Yiqing, "It's for you to splash water on him, not for you to pour the floor." โ€

Han Yiqing lowered her head timidly, not daring to say anything, Jian Feng snatched the empty cup in the other party's hand, walked to the water dispenser, and took a glass of water again.

"Look, that's what it's called splashing water." He returned to his place, raised his hand and poured the water in the cup towards Mu Qiancheng.

Jian Feng used too much force, and the water that should have been poured on Mu Qiancheng's body was splashed on the other party's face. Mu Qiancheng was splashed with water, and his expression instantly became ugly.

Jian Feng didn't care, and after putting down the cup, he continued to discipline Han Yiqing, but at this time, Mu Qiancheng's angry voice sounded in his ears: "Jian Feng, what do you mean?" โ€

Jian Feng turned his head and glanced at him, "It's not interesting, I'm just directing the actors to film." โ€

Mu Qiancheng gritted his teeth and said, "You did it on purpose, right? Declare personal vendettas. โ€

Ada hurriedly stepped forward and handed Mu Qiancheng a towel, Mu Qiancheng wiped his face and threw the towel to the ground angrily, "I won't act in this kind of drama anymore." โ€

After he put down the sentence, he walked towards the gate with the agent and assistant. Gu Xue wanted to go up to stop it, but she didn't stop it, and the group just walked away.

Jian Feng sat back next to the monitor and muttered a few curses in his mouth.

Gu Xue held her forehead, and suddenly felt a little headache. The movie has just started filming, and the director and the leading actor actually had a conflict, how will the future scenes be filmed?

If Mu Qiancheng is persuaded back, will he and Jian Feng still be able to live in peace? If you don't look for Mu Qiancheng, who should you find to play the male lead? In the middle of filming, it can be very troublesome to temporarily change the lead actor.

A series of questions were thrown at Gu Xue, which caught her off guard.

The atmosphere on the set was a little depressing, and the staff were talking to each other, not knowing what they were saying. Assistant director Chen Yan stood up and said to Gu Xue: "Mr. Gu, without the actor, the next scene can't be filmed." โ€

Gu Xue sighed helplessly, "Let's call it a day today, and then continue filming when the actor of the male number one is confirmed." โ€

"Excuse me, can you let me try?" At this moment, a voice sounded in the crowd, and everyone was attracted by this voice and followed the voice.

Sui Yun walked out from behind a pile of instruments and slowly walked to the center of the set, "Can you give me a chance and let me try?" โ€

Chen Yan looked at the young field worker in front of him and asked puzzledly, "What do you want to try?" โ€

"I want to try the role of male number one." Sui Yun replied with words in his mouth, but his eyes looked at Gu Xue who was not far away.

He is wearing a blue overalls and a black baseball cap today, an inconspicuous outfit, but he has a different kind of handsomeness, his eyes are still so beautiful, and his eyes are full of firmness and persistence.

Gu Xue and Sui Yun looked at each other for a while, as if they felt the other party's persistence, so they turned to Jian Feng and said, "Let him try." โ€

From the moment Sui Yun walked out, Jian Feng was a little confused, but since the boss had spoken, he naturally had to actively cooperate, and he immediately ordered all departments to prepare.

The prop master immediately walked up, tidied up the venue, poured a glass of water again and put it on the table, Chen Yan sent the script to Sui Yun, and asked him to familiarize himself with the lines first.

Taking advantage of the gap between the lines with Han Yiqing, Sui Yun smiled gently at her, "Don't be nervous, you imagine yourself as a character in the play, and then, just act out your inner feelings." โ€

Han Yiqing raised her head and glanced at the man in front of her, Sui Yun's eyes were very gentle, and his smile seemed to be warm, warm, giving people a comfortable feeling. Han Yiqing's heart suddenly flowed with warmth, and the previous tension gradually disappeared.

When Jian Feng shouted "", Sui Yun instantly changed his state, he bowed slightly, his eyes blinked a few times blankly, and he completely turned into a big boy who was helpless in the face of a hot woman.

Han Yiqing gradually entered the role, and her performance became more and more in place, and she became a rude and willful lady. Although he only glanced at the script a few times before the start of filming, Sui Yun's line skills were not weak at all, and after more than a dozen lines, he was stunned that there was no mistake. The two of them cooperate very well.

Jian Feng and Gu Xue sat not far away, their eyes glued to the monitor screen.

Gu Xue suddenly felt that Sui Yun in the monitor was so unfamiliar, or rather, he was no longer Sui Yun at this moment, but the protagonist of the play, Yi Jie, every look and every action of his eyes was expressing Yi Jie's heart and Yi Jie's emotions. He literally brought Jay to life.

Han Yiqing's condition is getting better and better, she picked up the water cup on the table and splashed it towards Sui Yun without hesitation, drawing a perfect end to this scene.

"OK" Jian Feng stood up excitedly and gave a thumbs up to the two, "This scene is fantastic." โ€

As he spoke, he looked down at Gu Xue, "Mr. Gu, this young man is great, he will play the male number one." โ€

Gu Xue smiled and nodded, she had to admit that Sui Yun's acting skills really shocked her.

In fact, even Sui Yun himself was shocked. When Mu Qiancheng left, Sui Yun suddenly had a strange feeling, he seemed to feel the heart of the person in the play, Yijie, felt the joy and sorrow of the other party, and there was a strong * that wanted to interpret them.

Sui Yun didn't understand what was wrong with him, and he didn't even notice that at that moment, the string of silver pendants on his chest flashed inadvertently.
