Chapter 132: Past and Present Lives
013-11-03
Out of the airport, Lin Xiao and Huang Bo quickly got into a car, and Zhao Wei was already sitting in the co-pilot seat.
"Why did you get so early?" She put on her sunglasses and asked, "Isn't it a month before you arrive?" β
"I don't want to come early, lately the advertising has been like a rush, and you know, that happened, and it was not convenient to stay in bΔijΔ«ng. Every day, reporters blocked the door, and I didn't go out for several days. Lin Xiao shook his head and said.
At the same time, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, when he saw Zhao Wei before, he had a faint smile on his face whenever he saw him, which could be said to be kind or distant. But this time, she didn't have a smile at all.
The weather in Zhuhai is completely different from that in the north, and the four seasons can be described as chΕ«n. Most of the filming locations of Shaolin football are held here. Only the first part was placed in Guangzhou, so the opening ceremony was held there.
When they came to the vicinity of the crew, they found a good hotel, of course, it was not the room that Zhao Wei booked, but the driver. Zhao Wei wore a hat and sunglasses all the way and didn't take them off for a moment.
A few people sat down, and Huang Bo opened his mouth and said, "Brother Lin, you have been very popular recently, why, the reporter chased you to Zhuhai?" β
"No, the company is blocking a group of people every day." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "By the way, where do the supporting characters of the crew live?" I'll take a look at the house later? β
"Okay, I'll go with you, the crew has a reservation in the nearby community, saying that they are afraid of disturbing, but they all pay for it themselves, and they are close to the crew."
"Lin Xiao, is the Great Wall Award over?" Zhao Wei suddenly asked.
"It's almost, Fan Binbin went abroad, and now it's Huayi's people doing it." Lin Xiao roughly explained the development of the matter, and Zhao Wei didn't continue to ask, it was already commendable that she could stand up and say something.
The meal was eaten quickly, and not long after eating, Zhao Wei received a call from the crew and left first, leaving Lin Xiao and Huang Bo chatting.
"I don't think her face is very good, huh?" Lin Xiao finally asked, "What?" The crew is having a hard time? β
"It's not a bad time." Huang Bo let out a long sigh and began to pour bitter water, "I regret coming so early now." When I used to watch Director Zhou's films, I thought he was like this in the film, but I didn't expect it. β
He smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's even more ...... when it's filming."
"Neurotic?" Seeing that Huang Bo couldn't speak, Lin Xiao answered with a smile.
"Oh, Brother Lin, bosom friend." Huang Bo laughed exaggeratedly, rubbed his hands and said, "It's okay at first, take it seriously." But less than a week after he directed, the taste changed. β
"In many places, it has obviously been decided, everyone has memorized the lines and prepared the props, as soon as he came on the stage, only halfway through the performance, he immediately shouted cards, temporarily reformulated the lines and props, and even many scenes have changed places, there is really suffering."
"The saddest thing is that some of the bridges have been finalized, all the personnel are ready, and after one or two o'clock that night, a phone call came and told you to go and get a new script immediately, you said...... Can you stand such a toss? Hey, I really envy those group performances. β
"Doesn't that also show that he attaches great importance to this play." Lin Xiao said with a smile, he didn't pay much attention to it, he had heard of Zhou Xingchi's way of directing in his previous life, and the crew who came to participate in Shaolin football had long been psychologically prepared.
"Can you pay attention to it? All the net worth is in it. Huang Bo smiled bitterly and shook his head, "However, you will know if you try." β
After chatting for a while, the two settled the bill and began to look for a room.
After searching for more than two hours, I chose a room on the first floor. The crew puts all the unimportant supporting roles that are ready here, and the newcomers are all two or three people in a room in order to be cheap.
Lin Xiao could have lived in the important corner sè's room, but now that his schedule has not yet arrived, he can only live here.
When I first entered, there were two people playing chess inside, very young, one was twenty-two or thirteen years old, and the other was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Walking in front was Huang Bo, when they saw him, both of them were stunned, and then immediately said enthusiastically, "Brother Huang, why are you interested in coming to play with us?" β
Huang Bo can be described as an important supporting role, and he has a lot of lines, and there is no comparison with actors like them who only appear and only appear a few times. Even the social circle is between first-line big names like Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, and Xie Xian all day long, and they are simply different from each other.
"Hehe, it's not me this time, it's my brother who wants to live here. It may not be until a month before his schedule arrives. Huang Bo didn't know them, and smiled and brought in the box in his hand.
"Brother Huang, I'll help." There are a lot of people in the crew who will "come to work", and these two teenagers seem to know this well, as for Huang Bo saying that someone lives in, they don't care.
A good artist is busy every day, and he came over before the schedule arrived, and he is obviously a newcomer with no future, I'm afraid it is an acquaintance of Huang Bo.
However, when they saw Lin Xiao's face, the two of them were simply shocked in place.
"You...... You are, Lin ......" The newcomer in his twenties looked at Lin Xiao's face and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Lin Xiao? Are you Lin Xiao?! The other teenager shouted directly, his voice full of disbelief.
They are just newcomers who have no way to publish their names in the newspaper, and they don't have a single line, compared to the ones who have been published in the newspaper again and again, have participated in many press conferences, and have won the Great Wall Gold Award, the "number one newcomer" who has been in the limelight recently, the gap is bigger than them and Huang Bodu!
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, he suddenly remembered that when he saw the "New Generation Popular Student" for the first time in his last life, he didn't care about the other party at all, and he stuck it all his might, and the two teenagers at this moment were so similar to himself.
But in this life, it is others who desperately come to slap themselves.
"I read it right...... "The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy felt that his mouth was a little dry, Huang Bo was famous in this crew, after all, he was an actor handpicked by Zhou Xingchi. But it is only limited to this crew, and in terms of fame, it is definitely not as good as Lin Xiao, who is in the limelight among newcomers.
If the crew is a Jianghu, Huang Bo is a steward under the alliance leader, Xie Xian, Wu Mengda, and Zhao Wei are Zhou Xingchi's right-hand men, then Lin Xiao definitely belongs to the level of a strong party.
The two glanced at each other, and immediately said enthusiastically, "Come, Brother Lin, I'll help you get something." β
"Brother Lin, have you eaten? Didn't eat a few of our brothers to go out for a meal? I do the East. β
The two of them scrambled to help with the things, and Lin Xiao was too embarrassed to refuse, so he had to let them put the things in the innermost room.
"The conditions are ok, better than I expected." Huang Bo looked at the room, turned back to Lin Xiao and said, "If you can't get used to it, you can come and live with me, we can still squeeze it." β
Lin Xiao smiled, "Brother Huang, aren't you afraid of scandals?" β
"Yes, for the sake of your innocence, please live here obediently." Huang Bohaha laughed, "If you want me to help, just call me." I have a scene in the evening, so I'll go and review the plot first. β
Lin Xiao didn't leave him either, and after Huang Bo left, the two newcomers were still in Lin Xiao's room, with a warm glow in their eyes.
"Brother Lin, shall we help you clean up?" "Yes, you have a lot of stuff, although the landlord here sometimes comes to clean it, it's still a bit of a hassle to get it alone."
Stuff a lot? Lin Xiao almost laughed, there was a big box in total, just put it at the foot of the bed. The bed and table are still clean, just wipe it.
However, he did not refuse, he knew the thoughts of the newcomers who came from this stage, and said with a smile, "Then it will trouble you." β
"Don't worry, this little thing is not a trouble." The eyes of the two lit up, what they were afraid of was that they didn't have this opportunity to hug their thighs, and they were also afraid that Lin Xiao would be weird, and now seeing him so approachable, they couldn't help but arouse the desire in their hearts.
Actors like them are better than group performances, they can be said to be "fixed tricks", the salary is pitiful, and they have no chance to contact other circles, they are surrounded by people like them, if they have a relationship, they will have a corner for a long time.
Lin Xiao is like a phoenix flying to a chicken nest, if you can introduce the two of them, it will be a blessing for several lifetimes!
With this mentality, the two of them worked harder, and what made Lin Xiao cry and laugh was that he just brought a basin of water and said to wipe the window, and was immediately robbed.
"It's okay, let it go, Brother Lin, I'll just come."
In this way, he really became a spectator, not because he didn't want to do it, but because the two of them had too good eyesight, and when they saw what Lin Xiao was doing, they always took the lead and took it down.
In just over half an hour, a room was brand new, as clean as it had been licked.
Looking at the beads of sweat that appeared slightly on the foreheads of the two of them, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little complicated in his heart, this circle, people who have ascended to the sky in one step will never know how bitter the newcomer is, he has been up and down in his last life for a few years, and he can be regarded as tasting all three of them.
Only those who come up step by step are the guarantee of Changhong. One step to the sky often falls in less than a year of glory.
They lack the precipitation of frustration.
For example, Sun Li, before Zhen Huan's biography, twenty or thirty thousand episodes, although it was four or five times that of his current time, but it was 08 or 09 years.
But after Zhen Huan's biography, she became one of the highest-paid actresses in Chinese TV dramas, with a sky-high remuneration of 300,000 episodes, which is enough to stand out from the crowd. In addition to Chen Zhiming's legendary million-episode remuneration, male and female artists who can be higher than her can be counted on both hands.
Seeing the two people in front of him, he seemed to see his former self, the self who wanted to climb up and seize every opportunity.
"Tired? Sit down, but unfortunately I don't have water here. Lin Xiao beckoned the two to sit down, there were no chairs in the room, only a large bed. After all, newcomers want to be cheap, and there are definitely no unnecessary facilities such as tables and chairs.
