Chapter 244: Reunion after a long absence
After arriving in Beijing, Zuo Jiang and the others stayed in the Great Wall Hotel, Zuo Jiang asked Yang Guangzhi and the three of them for a business room, asked for a small luxury suite, rented a Santana car for Yang Guangzhi and them to facilitate their contact with advertising, and he rented a Benchi, bought a traffic map of Beijing, and did not even ask for a driver, ready to drive by himself.
The time to arrive in Beijing was in the morning, and Zuo Jiang, who had been in the car all night, had asked Yang Guangzhi to rest and go out to contact business in the afternoon, but Yang Guangzhi led his two men away after eating. People are motivated to work, and Zuojiang can only encourage them, so he has to let them go, and he took a shower in the room and slept beautifully.
At noon, Yang Guangzhi and the others did not come back, Zuo Jiang got up and went to the Western restaurant to eat a French Western food, and then called Liang Zijin to ask for their specific address. Liang Zijin's filming scene happened to be the time of the lunch break, he happened to be eating a boxed lunch in the humble office, and he was very surprised to receive a call from Zuo Jiang, he didn't expect Zuo Jiang to come so quickly. After a few polite words with Zuo Jiang, he asked Zuo Jiang where he lived, and he sent a car to pick him up.
Zuo Jiang said: "Director Liang, I live in the Great Wall Hotel, I don't have to send a car, it's very convenient for me to rent a car, you tell me the address, I can go over by myself." ”
The crew also did not have a car that specialized in pulling people, in addition to a pickup truck for both passenger and cargo props, they also rented a car to pick up the actors and crew members, because there was still a scene to shoot in the afternoon, and the pickup truck had not come back to pull the props, Liang Zijin wanted Zuo Jiang to come over by himself, so he told Zuo Jiang where the crew was.
The crew is the No. 3 filming base of the film factory at the junction of urban and rural areas in the western suburbs of Beijing, and this location is not indicated on the traffic map of Beijing. ^^ No. 3 filming base is said to be a combination of urban and rural areas, but it is actually a pure rural area, and the No. 3 filming base is a film factory specially established for filming costume dramas. From the outside, it is a small ancient city, and there are all kinds of houses in the style of various dynasties in the city, such as yamen, bazaars, wine shops, inns, and brothels in green buildings, which are no different from the ancient state cities.
Zuo Jiang drove a luxurious Benchi car into the No. 3 shooting base, and the two doormen immediately stood up when they saw it. Didn't dare to stop it at all, Zuo Jiang drove two streets and saw that there was no one, so he kept driving forward, and at the end of the third street, he saw a classical mansion parked in front of the front of the house, a pickup truck was unloading things from the car, and the mansion was noisy.
Zuo Jiang thought that Liang Zijin and they must be filming here, so he parked the car on the side in front of the courtyard gate, got out of the car and walked inside. A few unloading on the pickup truck saw this luxurious Benchi driving from a distance, so they stopped their work and looked at this car, which is rare in Beijing, thinking that it was a big boss who came, and saw that it was just a handsome young man who got out of the car. couldn't help but be very surprised, and watched Zuo Jiang walk into the courtyard with a look of surprise.
Zuo Jiang walked into the courtyard, heard the voice of a person, and passed the moon gate at the back of the mansion, and came to the back courtyard. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw many actors in ancient costumes standing in front of them and watching, Zuo Jiang stood behind them and looked inside, in front of a long corridor, director Liang Zijin sat behind the camera with a sunhat and looked at the busy photographers very intently, holding up and constantly signaling to Bai Xiaoyi in ancient costumes sitting in the corridor.
Looking from afar, the beauty of Bai Xiaoyi in a white dress gives people a strong shock. And the appearance of her bowing her head and hanging down alone was even more distressing, and a sigh made everyone's hearts tug. At this time, a white-robed young general wearing a silver helmet and silver armor ran out of the corridor,
Zuo Jiang understood what kind of scene this was at a glance, and while watching Bai Xiaoyi's performance, he walked towards Liang Zijin from the back of the crowd, and when he walked behind Liang Zijin, the scene was also nearing the end. Everyone's attention was focused on Bai Xiaoyi's performance, and Liang Zijin and Li Da didn't notice Zuo Jiang coming over.
With a "snap", Liang Zijin stood up and waved his fist and said excitedly: "Okay." Very good! One handful! It turned out that the filming of this scene had already finished at this time, and the filming crew and actors suddenly relaxed. Liang Zijin turned his head and saw Zuo Jiang, thinking that it was the idle staff who just wanted to be angry, only then did he see clearly that it was Zuo Jiang, his angry expression suddenly turned into a hearty smile, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zuo Jiang's hand and said, "Zuo Jiang." Why did you come here quietly? ”
Zuo Jiang smiled: "Director Liang." I didn't make a sound for fear of disturbing your filming, and the first time I saw the scene of the movie, it was quite novel. Just look at it for a while! ”
Seeing that Bai Xiaoyi was very surprised and looked at this, Zuo Jiang raised his hand to signal, Bai Xiaoyi saw that Zuo Jiang was really coming, so he ran excitedly along the corridor to this side, all the cast and crew inside and outside the venue didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at Zuo Jiang with a puzzled face.
Liang Zijin clapped his hands and said loudly: "Come on, come on, everyone come here, I'll introduce someone to you." ”
Everyone heard Liang Zijin's shout and slowly gathered together, and Bai Xiaoyi also ran to Zuo Jiang's side, because Liang Zijin wanted to introduce Zuo Jiang to everyone, Bai Xiaoyi didn't talk to Zuo Jiang, but just looked at him affectionately.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Liang Zijin's hand gestured to Zuo Jiangyi and said loudly: "This is the big investor of our film, Mr. Zuo Jiang, the special representative of the Harry Potter Financial Investment Company in the United States, Harry Potter Financial Investment Company can invest in our film, it is Mr. Zuo Jiang who has contributed to it, it can be said that without Mr. Zuo Jiang, there would be no shooting of our film, and there will be no opportunity for all of us to get together to create brilliance. ”
When Liang Zijin introduced Zuo Jiang, Zuo Jiang kept smiling and greeting everyone, and after the applause stopped, Zuo Jiang said loudly: "Director Liang asked me to say a few words, in fact, I have nothing to say, because I am a layman to the movie, but I believe in Director Liang, I believe in Bian Li, and I believe in everyone's ability, under the leadership of Director Liang, everyone will be able to make the movie "Eternal Red Face" into a masterpiece and a classic!" Finally, I wish the movie "Eternal Red Face" a complete success and win international awards! ”
These actors and crew members are usually used to seeing those investors come and point fingers, this is not good, that is not good, and they are angry, I thought that Zuo Jiang would be as invincible as those people, but I didn't expect Zuo Jiang to say all the words of trust and congratulations, and I couldn't help but have a good impression of this handsome young man, and applauded sincerely and warmly.
Liang Zijin said: "Today's shooting plan has been completed, now you can call it a day, everyone quickly take off their makeup and clean up, we will go back to the city when the bus comes, now disperse." The actors dispersed in a hurry after hearing the cheers, and Liang Zijin said to a man in front of him: "Zhang Cheng, you pack up today's props and hurry up and prepare tomorrow's use." ”
It was only then that Zuo Jiang and Bai Xiaoyi had a chance to speak, Zuo Jiang asked her about her recent situation in a low voice, and Bai Xiaoyi also answered his question in a low voice. At this time, Liang Zijin turned to Zuo Jiang and said, "Zuo Jiang, let's go, go to my office and sit down for a while, and I will invite you to dinner in the evening!" ”
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyi said to Zuo Jiang: "Xiao Jiang, you go to the office with Director Liang first, and I'll take off my makeup and then come to you." Seeing Zuo Jiang nodding, Bai Xiaoyi turned around and left.
"Li Da, Li Da!" Liang Zijin shouted loudly to the screenwriter Li Da, and when he saw Li Da hearing it, he turned around and said, "You will go to the office as soon as you are done, where are we waiting for you!" ”
After hearing this, Li Da nodded and said, "Okay, I know!" After saying that, he turned around and went back to his own business. Liang Zijin touched Zuo Jiang and said, "Zuo Jiang, let's go." ”
Liang Zijin's office is in a dilapidated antique house not far from the gate of the base, which may be no longer suitable for filming movies and is temporarily used as an office, and the equipment inside is very simple. Liang Zijin made Zuo Jiang a cup of tea, and the two chatted while drinking tea.
It didn't take long for Li Da to walk in, Liang Zijin looked at Li Da and said, "It's been a long time, today Zuojiang is here, let's go out for a good meal and improve, you say, where are we going to eat?" ”
Zuo Jiang said with a smile: "Director Liang, you work hard to make films, or let me invite you, you can choose the place in Beijing!" ”
Liang Zijin hurriedly said: "You are our boss, how can I let you invite you to come all the way to Beijing, I know you are very rich, but I can still afford the money for dinner." ”
Seeing what Zuo Jiang was going to say, Li Da hurriedly took over the conversation and said jokingly: "Zuo Jiang, don't fight with Zijin, none of you spend your money to entertain you, the wool is out of the sheep!" ”
Zuo Jiang and Liang Zijin couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, and Li Da also laughed with them.
At this time, Bai Xiaoyi walked in from outside wearing casual clothes, and when she saw the three of them laughing happily, she couldn't help asking, "What happy things did you encounter, you are smiling so happily?" ”
