120. Chapter 120

When the reporters from China came to visit the group and interview, the actors in the crew were gathering for lunch.

I saw a large pile of hamburgers, fries, coffee, cola and other junk fast food, and in front of Chen Mo and Zhao Sen there was a large plate of fried potato chips with green peppers and a large bowl of tomato and egg soup. The two of them each held a fist-sized white fat steamed bun in their hands.

This kind of scene is too eye-catching, reporters who came to visit the class came forward one after another, holding cameras and video cameras to shoot randomly, seven or eight microphones came to the front, and reporters from several new media entertainment newspapers couldn't help but ask: "Why is your lunch different from others?" ”

Zhao Sen waved his hand helplessly, and said, "We can't help it." The spleen and stomach that are used to eating gruel and pickles can't digest these foreign things. Chen Mo had a stomach upset last night. So for the sake of life and health, I had to open a small stove by myself. ”

When the reporters present heard this, they asked Chen Mo what he thought.

Chen Mo looked at everyone helplessly, and he really couldn't think of what kind of thoughts he could have for diarrhea. I had to say a few jokes to fool the past.

A group of entertainment reporters came to visit the class, as well as two reporters from the National Television Station and two staff members of the "Nine Days" crew. The former is to promote "Pioneer Troops", and the latter is to promote the Xianxia drama "Nine Days".

In fact, "Spearhead Troops" had already completed the post-production as early as June, and it was originally intended to be released in the summer vacation. One is to present a gift for the National Day, and the other is to publicize the conscription. At that time, even the schedule was arranged. However, at the upcoming juncture, the extramarital affair between director Hua Aijiang and female star Zhang Chu broke out. The impact of this scandal was too bad, and the State Police, the Military Department, and the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda were afraid of affecting their own image, so they withdrew the "Top Soldier Troops" that had been scheduled. Temporarily changed to another historical drama that recorded the life of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, "Elite Troops" dragged on until half a year after the impact of the scandal disappeared, and it continued to be released on the Chinese New Year. The broadcast time is the golden eight o'clock file of the national station on the second day of the Lunar New Year - because the Spring Festival Gala will be performed on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

The leaders of the relevant departments are also big-hearted, and the propaganda slogan is still a gift for the empire and propaganda for next year's conscription.

And the Xianxia drama "Nine Days", which was completed in September, has officially completed the post-production in early December. The premiere rights were bought by Mango Channel, which has been focusing on broadcasting such TV dramas for 100 years, and is scheduled to officially launch the prime-time solo theater of Mango Channel on January 29.

Now the two crews, the national station and the mango channel are busy doing the last wave of publicity before the launch of their TV series. Several other leading actors who are still in China are running around with the crew, only Chen Mo, the actor, can't go back from filming abroad, and the leaders of the national station and Li Guofeng have the same meaning, they want to ask Chen Mo to shoot a VCR, which can be regarded as doing their part for publicity.

Of course, Chen Mo would not refuse this kind of request.

Choosing a place with a wide field of vision and an absolutely magnificent background as the background, Chen Mo arched his hand with a smile in front of the camera, and said: "Hello audience friends in front of the TV, I wish you all a happy new year......

“…… In the new year, study hard, work hard, have a successful career, and have a happy family......"

“…… Finally, please support the Xianxia drama "Nine Days" broadcast exclusively by Mango Channel's Summer Theater, I am here to wait for you ......"

When recording the VCR of "Elite Troops", two reporters from the national station were very reluctant to face this ancient castle with a strong European atmosphere, so they asked Chen Mo to change into his military uniform and went to the cold field to record a VCR.

Chen Mo had just finished recording the VCR and ran back to the hall, when he saw Irene walking in after changing her clothes and putting on makeup.

Probably because of the aftermath of Fang Cai's slap, all the staff and actors subconsciously quieted for a moment, and then chatted casually.

The entertainment reporters who came to visit the class were all human spirits, and when they saw this scene, they didn't know that the crew was weird. They all stepped forward to knock on the side, and two people also walked up to Irene for an interview.

Under the nose of director Liang Zheng, no one will talk about the ugly things of the crew without interest - unless it is with the permission of the crew, except for the case of deliberately hyping up.

However, the conflict between Irene and Ruan Mei is obviously not the latter, so everyone has a wise attitude of protecting themselves, and no one is willing to confide in them.

After lunch, everyone took a short break and started shooting again in the afternoon. This is a rivalry between the female number one and the female number two.

In view of the turmoil at noon, Director Liang was afraid that there would be some mess to discredit the crew during filming in the afternoon, so he sent all reporters out of the crew on the grounds that the crew's filming should be kept secret.

However, these entertainment reporters are not stupid Bai Tian who just came out to work, since they smell the smell of meat, how can they leave obediently as Director Liang is willing to do. Due to the strict defense of the crew, they couldn't stay on the set, but everyone stayed outside and refused to leave. All of them bought off the staff after the play to see if they could get the idea of first-hand news.

Director Liang has been filming for many years, and he also knows the calculations of these entertainment reporters. In the face of these entertainment records, who have made up their minds to engage in guerrilla warfare, he has no choice. It can only be left to its own devices.

The camera pans back to the set.

Ruan Mei, who plays the female number one in the play, is actually one person who plays two roles. One character is Interpol Leo's wife, Lillian, a former FBI civilian who was betrayed by Leo's boss and kidnapped by arms criminals along with their four-year-old son. Luke used this to blackmail Leo into giving up his pursuit and allegiance to him. Leo compromises on the surface, but secretly negotiates with his boss to use the opportunity to rescue his wife to find evidence of the gun's crime. As a result, the wife was tortured and killed, and her body was thrown into the sea. This also spurred Leo to insist on bringing the arms criminals to justice, otherwise even he would not be able to accept it, and it would be useless to sacrifice so much.

Another character played by Ruan Mei is Joanna, the sister of Leo's wife. Joanna is also a member of the FBI, as Leo is haunted by her sister's death. Later, with the help of the thief Sky, it was decided to join forces with Leo. Taking advantage of the opportunity for Luke the Arms Prisoner to hold a banquet to promote his new weapon, the three infiltrate Luke's castle again in order to wipe out Luke and his gang.

However, the trio's disguises are discovered by Luke's mistress, Amanda. The woman who killed Joanna's sister with her own hands led a group of people to arrest the three of them, and then blocked Joanna in the women's bathroom. After a fight, Joanna unfortunately fell into the low hand. Luke's mistress tortures Joanna into confessing to the other two.

In the long corridor, Irene, who plays the mistress of the arms criminal Luke, wears a burgundy bandeau fishtail evening dress, and walks forward with a variety of graces. Pointy heels step on the glossy marble tiles, with a hint of apparent cat and mouse calmness.

Behind her, the manor bodyguards in black suits and armed guns are searching room by room, and in the post-production zuò, this section will be accompanied by a serenade played by cellos, violins and various Western instruments, the quiet elegance of Western dance music, and the scent of clothes and sideburns in the castle hall, which is in stark contrast to the tense picture in front of her.

Eventually, Amanda stopped at the bathroom door at the end of the hallway. Her graceful gaze fell on the golden doorknob, her red lips hooked, and she pulled an even smaller gun from her small, delicate handbag studded with broken diamonds, and pushed the door in.

Director Liang Zheng shouted "click" with great satisfaction.

In the bathroom that has already been arranged, the staff holds reflectors and soft lights, and dutifully stays in places that cannot be seen by the camera. A boom camera is framed over the bathroom, a cameraman is pushing the camera to crawl on the ground, and three cameras are recording from different positions.

The assistant director held a field sign and shouted "action" in front of the camera, Irene pushed the door in, Ruan Mei's female stand-in lay on the roof of the bathroom, and the moment Irene pushed open the door, she threw herself down, trying to hold Irene hostage.

Amanda, who had been prepared, shot Joanna in the abdomen after hearing the wind overhead. Joanna snorted, but took advantage of the situation to twist Amanda's wrist and snatch the gun down.

However, the time was too late, and the manor bodyguards who followed Amanda swarmed in and took Joanna under control.

Because the bodyguard was in an incorrect position when he entered the door, either out of the frame or blocking the shots of the two actresses, director Liang Zheng frowned and shouted NG seven or eight times. The last time was finally over, and the next scene began.

Irene, who plays Amanda, walks in front of Joanna, and Joanna, played by Ruan Mei, is half-kneeled in front of Amanda by two group bodyguards. She lifted her face, her eyes almost bursting into flames, and she stared at Amanda viciously, eager to choose someone to eat.

Amanda "tsk" twice, lifted Joanna's chin with her slender fingers, and said with a smile: "Sue me, where are those two people?" ”

Joanna snorted and turned away.

Amanda asked again with a smile. Joanna still didn't answer.

“…… IMHO, you probably don't know much about your situation. Amanda said with a big smile when suddenly a slap hit Joanna in the face.

According to the habits of the crew, slapping is generally a borrowed position, except for a few special circumstances, or the actors' own requests, no one will really play.

Especially first-line and second-tier female artists like Irene and Ruan Mei, they will not be more serious on the set.

But everyone obviously saw that after Irene slapped her, Ruan Mei was slapped to the side, her right cheek was obviously swollen, and five clear finger marks appeared on her fair skin. It's red and swollen and looks particularly scary.

Everyone in the crew was shocked. Ruan Mei, who was stunned, blurted out, "What are you doing?" ”

Irene shook her hand with a smile, and with a look of "I'm also in pain", she explained while rubbing her palms: "I'm sorry, Sister Mei, I've always been very serious and desperate when I work. You know me, too, oh? ”

Ruan Mei is so angry that she wants to go crazy, she has been filming for so many years, except for being bullied in the first few years of her debut, where has she ever suffered such treatment after becoming famous. She shook off the two stunned group performers and stood up, raising her hand to fight back.

Irene quickly grabbed Ruan Mei's arm, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Sister Mei, it's boring for you to do this." Everyone is a professional actor, and whatever they do is for filming. You don't even have that kind of professionalism, do you? ”

Ruan Mei trembled all over, and her face turned blue with anger. She shook off Irene's hand vigorously and scolded loudly, "Slut! ”

Irene chuckled nonchalantly, and said casually: "Seeing that so many newspapers and media in China are pursuing Sister Mei, you are an intellectual goddess, I thought Sister Mei had a good cultivation." Now it seems...... I'm just pretending to be a real drama for the sake of filming effect. Sister Mei, you can't stand the scolding. I didn't say anything when you hit me? ”

Ruan Mei said hatefully: "That's because you owe the fight." ”

Irene raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I think so too." ”

After a pause, he added: "That's why there is a scene in the script where Amanda slaps Joanna, isn't it?" ”

Ruan Mei: "......"

I can't beat it, I can't say it, Ruan Mei is going to strike in a fit of anger. was so frightened that director Liang Zheng and several assistant directors immediately stopped Ruan Mei's bitter persuasion. The filming has been carried out for more than half of the time, and the shooting time of the castle is only one day today, and the crew can't stand the toss.

Ruan Mei is also an actress who has been filming for many years, and of course she knows the current situation of the crew. But she was beaten in front of so many people in the crew just now, and she really lost face. Therefore, no matter how Liang Zheng persuaded her, she insisted on leaving.

Even if Liang Zheng called her agent, it didn't work.

Liang Zheng was overwhelmed by the two actresses.

Irene was still standing on the side and holding her arms and said cool words: "...... If she leaves, let her go, and then the crew will send a press release saying that Ruan Mei will play a big name and stop recording, ignoring the crew's investment cost of 100 million yuan. Even if she is a first-line female artist in China, what can she do? If such a reckless act is exposed, I see what face she still has in the circle, either hidden by the company, or ignored. ”

One sentence poked Ruan Mei's heart. She turned around, took two deep breaths, glared at Irene and said, "Don't be complacent. It's just a defeated man, I'm afraid of you? ”

Irene sneered.

Ruan Mei shouted and continued.

Director Liang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief with sweat on his head, and hurriedly said: "All departments are in place...... The makeup artist touches up the makeup ...... the two teachers."

After shouting "action" again, Irene still slapped her hard, and this time Ruan Mei, who had already prepared, immediately mobilized her feelings and said her lines. Irene deliberately NG, pretending to apologize to everyone, and asked for another one.

This was repeated three times, but Joanna, who was grabbed by the arm by two bodyguards, suddenly broke free from the restraint, and threw Amanda played by Irene to the ground and choked her neck fiercely.

Irene was caught off guard, and she was almost pinched.

Director Liang Zheng jumped up from the director's chair like a cat with its tail stepped on, and shouted dancing: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry up and separate the two of them." ”

A group of stunned friends came back to their senses and stepped forward to separate Irene and Ruan Mei.

The two women were still staring at each other like black-eyed chickens, and Ruan Mei sneered: "I am also here to better interpret the plot." Since Amanda, a mean woman, killed Joanna's sister, Joanna must be eager to kill Amanda. Even if you can't get out of the whole body, it's enough to die together. Joanna must have had this in mind to sneak into the manor, right? ”

Irene was speechless.

A good fight scene was almost turned into a palace fight drama by these two women. Director Liang Zheng is simply loveless.

Chen Mo, who was waiting on the set, was also surprised, not knowing what these two women were crazy about.

The fire of gossip was burning, and Chen Mo took advantage of everyone's inattention to ask Zhao Sen in a low voice if he knew the inside story.

Zhao Sen had an expression of "how can an upright person like me know this kind of gossip", approached Chen Mo and said, "I don't know much about what is going on here, but I just heard my friend say it...... Ruan Mei's current boyfriend is Xiao Kai of a real estate company, it is said that before I met Ruan Mei, this Xiao Kai and Irene were slimy, and often visited the class to send flowers to eat together or something. Later, after being with Ruan Mei, Na Xiaokai broke off with Irene for two years. But the two seemed to have a relationship a while ago...... You know our play, right? That Xiaokai is an investor, and Irene was introduced by him. ”

Chen Mo suddenly realized, but he felt strange again. You must know that he heard with his own ears that Irene and Yue Senjiang had an appointment last night. If Irene really has a leg with that little open. Why are you entangled with Yue Senjiang again?

Zhao Sen glanced at Chen Mo, although the other party did not speak, but Zhao Sen also had eight or nine of Chen Mo's psychological speculations. He explained disapprerovingly: "With so much pressure on filming, it's normal for everyone to feel tired and lonely." And when filming, in order to better interpret the role, you also have to invest in emotions. In this case, it is too common to do what a fake show really does. ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Mo with a look of "young man, you have little knowledge". casually cited a few who's who's tents when filming, and who's who's tent was really a third party involved in the fake scene, and was discovered by the other party's wife......

A few sentences are concise and to the point, but the amount of information is very large, it is rare to give examples, and the content must have content to explode, and such a detailed revelation is stunned because I feel that I am not gossiping.

Chen Mo looked at Zhao Sen, who was very self-aware, and shook his head and sighed: "Your circle is really messy!" ”

Zhao Sen: "......"

Chen Mo and Zhao Sen were secretly chatting about gossip here, and Ruan Mei and Irene also continued filming over there.

was probably frightened by Ruan Mei's sudden outburst, and in the next rival scene, Irene didn't make any more moths. Instead, An An finished filming these scenes in parts.

Before dinner, Chen Mo and Zhao Sen made up a few more scenes of fighting. The night scene of the day was a shot of Chen Mo and Zhao Sen fighting on the walls of the ancient castle. The props team had already set up the props wall, and the two of them finished filming this section with rolling and crawling, and it was early in the morning.

Early the next morning, the crew moved to major famous scenic spots in Paris for filming, and two days later went to country M, and three days later went to Las Vegas. During this period, the female No. 1 Ruan Mei and the female No. 2 Irene have been in a state where the king does not see the king. Fortunately, there were not many rivalry scenes between the two in the follow-up shooting, and there were many shots shot alone. Director Liang Zheng also deliberately separated the filming time of the two. One morning and one afternoon, trying to make the two not see each other.

By the time the crew finally finished filming the location and returned home, it was already Chinese New Year's Eve.

Mu Yu personally drove to the airport to pick up Chen Mo. The two agreed to go back to Chen's house to see Chen's father and Chen's mother first, and then go to Mu's house to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

On the way, Chen Mo chatted with Mu Yu and played with his mobile phone, and found that although there were various entertainment headlines in China, none of them were the gossip that Ruan Mei and Irene tore each other. The guess was that the crew pressed it down.

Chen Mo, who listened to a lot of gossip during the filming, couldn't help but confide in Mu Yu, and said with a heart on his face: "I really didn't expect this filming process to be more exciting than the finished film." If you want me to say, don't shoot those thunder dramas and bubble dramas that have low ratings and are complained and scolded by netizens. simply put these tidbits in the feature film, which is guaranteed to be more exciting than any plot. ”

That night, Chen's father made Chen Mo the saliva chicken and boiled fish that he had been thinking about for many days. A ceramic sea bowl filled with chili peppers and spices is filled with a hot red oil soup with white fish and chicken floating on top.

Chen Mo shook off his cheeks and feasted, and while eating, he complained that those hamburgers, chicken thighs and half-cooked steaks were not eaten by people.

“…… In order to survive, your son and I eat fried potato chips with green peppers and tomato and egg soup every day, or fry steak and fried pork in a pan. ”

Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Mu Yu sat at the dining table, smiling and watching Chen Mo eat very fragrantly, and from time to time he pinched two chopsticks. Mu Yu heard Chen Mo's complaints, and said, "Why don't you find an assistant who can cook?" In the future, when you are filming, send an RV to follow you, and let the assistant make it in the car if you want to eat. ”

Chen Mo really felt that Mu Yu's idea was good, and immediately gave a thumbs up.

"I'll call Brother Dong after dinner and ask him to choose a better RV for me."

As soon as Chen Mo's voice fell, the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.

Chen Mo walked over and looked happy, and while smiling and saying something that was really casual and unintentional, he picked up the phone.

Yang Qindong came to report the good news. On the first day of the broadcast of "Nine Days" on Mango Channel, the ratings broke 2.1, and now that it has been broadcast for almost ten days, the ratings have risen to 2.92, and it looks like it is about to break three.

According to the current shape, this drama must be alive. Even the small supporting roles that are not the main characters in the play have their names memorized, not to mention the other main creative actors, and the announcement of the endorsement of the new script is even softer.

Chen Moxin said that it was no wonder that the fan value in the system had risen in the past few days, and it turned out that this was the case. Just listen to Yang Qindong continue: "...... There is one more thing, isn't the "Spearhead Troops" starring you going to be broadcast on the Golden Theater of National TV on the second day of the Lunar New Year? The national station means that I want you to participate in the Spring Festival Gala on the first day of the new year to promote the TV series. ”
