Chapter 10, Revelation of Seeking Friends
Early in the morning, I changed my clothes and took the computer to send Ningxi to work, and went to the company by myself. In the company's large conference room, the directors of various units, all the agents and the artists in Bincheng sat below. Some of those who are in the field will watch the video of the meeting and understand the spirit of the meeting.
Yang Xi made a simple opening, and the heads of various departments reported one by one. When he arrived at the security department, Meng Ran, who had just come to the company not long ago, was not very clear, so Lao Wang made a report. When everything was over, Yang Xi looked at the reports sent by various departments, and his face was not very good. Putting down the report, he frowned and shook his head gently, and said seriously: "Is there a problem with the coordination between the performance department and the agent department, or is there a situation?" Especially the brokerage department. Xiao Luoluo pushed two online dramas, a movie, and a game advertisement in the second quarter, which of you will explain it to me. ”
Xiao Luoluo's agent got up and said sorry, explaining: "Mr. Yang, combined with the work intensity in the first quarter and the announcement in the second quarter, we filtered out some jobs that are not very good in terms of popularity and reputation, so..."
"Smack!" Yang Xi slapped the table, glared at him and said, "Let Xiao Luoluo say it himself!" ”
Female star Xiao Luoluo raised her hand and said weakly: "Sister Yang Xi, I was too tired in the first quarter, so I want to take a break." The jobs that were pushed away didn't make much profit, so I told Xiao Yang to push them off. ”
Yang Xi's anger ignited suddenly! She took a few deep breaths to calm her mind, pressed the fire and said, "The final decision is up to the agent and me, not you, do you understand?" Those two online dramas and a movie are among the best in terms of script and shooting team, I called the director one by one and begged for it, if you don't answer, you won't answer, what do you think of me! ”
Yang Xi was really angry. She didn't lie, these two online dramas and a movie really came to her after begging the director for a long time, and she also built a lot of favors and relationships for this. Xiao Luoluo was good, he refused without saying anything, and the angry three directors directly called Yang Xi and scolded him. Yang Xi at the banquet that day found the three directors to sincerely apologize, but the three directors didn't mind at all, and they were full of praise for Meng Ran, which can be regarded as saving some face for Yang Xi and the company, otherwise Yang Xi would really not be able to mix in the circle in the future.
"Starting tomorrow, Xiao Luoluo will suspend all work and take on a new job after New Year's Day next year. Luo Luo's agent Xiao Yang was suspended for a week to review, and next week he went to Liu Jie to help Liu Jie's agent take charge of Liu Jie's work in the second half of the year. Whoever has an opinion will put it forward, and if no one speaks, it will continue. ”
Yang Xi glanced at the employees below, no one had different opinions, Yang Xi ended the summary of the second quarter, and called Meng Ran to let him summarize the work of the past half month. Meng Ran walked over and connected the projector to the laptop, opened the PPT and began to explain to everyone below, and at the same time showed everyone the work records he did and the daily summary, and the PPT was also mixed with photos taken by Di Muti when he was working.
Yang Xi looked at the projected PPT and nodded with satisfaction, and the last page of the report ended, Meng Ran nodded to everyone, indicating the end.
Turn off the projector and sit down with the computer. Yang Xi stood up at the company meeting rarely, and said hatefully: "Meng Ran has just passed the agent exam, and the agents here have at least two years of work experience." You look at the ppt and summary you usually do, I won't say much else, you should learn to learn, you should improve... Meng Ran. ”
"Here!" Meng Ran reflexively stood up. Everyone covered their mouths and laughed, Yang Xi looked at him and laughed, she found that Meng Ran was so cute. Meng Ran was not affected by their laughter in the slightest, and still stood straight.
Yang Xi cleared his throat, everyone stopped laughing, and sat down honestly. Yang Xi said seriously: "I want to announce a few things next. A month ago, the company signed a newcomer named Jiang Zifan... Zifan got up and said hello to everyone. ”
A sunny boy with big eyes and double eyelids stood up and greeted everyone politely: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Zifan, you can call me Xiao Jiang or Zifan." As a newcomer, I hope you will help a lot, thank you. ”
Jiang Zifan sat down, and Yang Xi continued: "Zifan, as a newcomer, needs the help of a senior agent, so Sister Meining will serve as Zifan's agent." In this way, Dimuti has no agent. After half a month of experience as a temporary agent, Meng Ran did a very good job, so I decided that Meng Ran would no longer hold the position of head of the security department, and become Dimuti's agent instead, and at the same time be responsible for Dimuti's security work and concurrently serve as a consultant of the security department. Meng Ran, the Security Department needs a new director, do you have any good recommendations? ”
Meng Ran thought for a moment and said, "I think Wencheng is good." Honest, responsible, and capable. Everyone knows that Wen Cheng was my assistant before, but I don't shy away from my relatives, he is fully capable of this position of supervisor, and he also needs a chance to prove himself. ”
Yang Xi nodded, looked at Wen Cheng and said, "Okay, then let's compromise, Wen Cheng will be the head of the security department, probation for three months, if he performs well within three months, then he will officially become the head of the security department." Do you have any comments? ”
"Nope."
"That's good. Dimuti has been working at high intensity for half a month, which is indeed very hard. It just so happens that I don't have much work these days, so I take a break for a while. Meng Ran, how do you memorize your lines? ”
Meng Ran nodded and said that there was no problem, and Yang Xi said with satisfaction: "That's good, come with me at night, and I'll take you to the shooting site." ”
"Okay."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, and after each department does something insufficient, I will hold a meeting to summarize and improve it after I go back, and today's meeting will be held here, and the meeting will be dismissed."
Everyone got up and left, and Yang Xi suddenly said: "Meng Ran, Sister Meining, Di Muti and Zifan stay for a while." ”
The four of them stayed, Meng Ran returned the computer and mobile phone to Sister Mei Ning, Sister Mei Ning didn't take the phone, she said to Meng Ran: "The phone is full of contacts at work in Dimuti, you keep it, I'll go to the logistics department to get a mobile phone." However, the computer needs Mr. Yang's approval slip, you can take the approval slip to the logistics department to get it. ”
Yang Xi said on the side: "That's right, I'll give you a note now." As he spoke, Yang Xi opened the notebook and was about to write. Meng Ran hurriedly stopped her and said, "No need Mr. Yang, I'll just buy it myself." The company's laptop configuration is average, and the running and processing speed is not too fast, so I'd better choose it myself. ”
"That's okay, give me the invoice when the time comes, and I'll let the finance reimburse you."
What Meng Ran said is also an objective fact, the company's computer is also a general business computer, the configuration and heat dissipation are really improvised, and the first two days to save a work summary was saved for almost two minutes, too delayed! In fact, other brokers used the company's laptop at the beginning, and after a long time, they all knew the disadvantages of the company's computer, and finally switched to the computer they bought. Unlike Meng Ran, Yang Xi didn't reimburse them for the computers they bought.
After the smooth handover of the work, Meng Ran will be Dimuti's agent from today onwards. Saying goodbye to Yang Xi, Meng Ran left the large conference room with Di Muti.
As soon as he walked out of the conference room, Yunlong greeted him. He said to Meng Ran very excitedly: "Brother! I'll wait until you get back! Hurry up, is there any song we can work together, I'm in a hurry! ”
Di Muti covered his mouth and smiled, Meng Ran smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, yes, let's go, let's go to the rehearsal room." ”
"That's great, let's go." Yunlong pulled Meng Ran and walked quickly to the rehearsal room, and Di Muti followed.
After saying hello to the band's brothers, Meng Ran took out a pen and paper to write down the score and lyrics, and asked Yunlong to listen to him and the band a few times first.
I have the experience of working together before, and this time it went very well, and after practicing twice, I can sing the whole song. Holding the microphone, waiting for the prelude to end, he sang: "Suddenly I remembered the girl we had chased at the same time on this ordinary night, how is she now, her tears, is it still so translucent..."
"Who knew that the road in the same city was so long, and time accidentally built so many walls. I really want to turn back time at will, and you don't go home and wander on the street all the time. I know that there will be a lot of differences now, and I still want to find the remaining dreams of you and me, quietly by your side, even if I look at the sun and don't talk about anything..."
At the end of the song, Yunlong and Di Muti were stunned for a while and applauded. Especially Yunlong, after becoming an artist, he lost a lot of his former playmates and friends, so this song is very touching to him. sang with Meng Ran a few times, went out to have a meal together, came back and continued to practice, and it was not until after five o'clock in the afternoon that he completely mastered the song.
I went to the studio to record it four or five times, and finally recorded the song. Listen to it a little later, yes, perfect. The music director sent the song to Yang Xi, and Yang Xi called the music director after hearing it, saying: "In the future, as long as it is Meng Ran's song, you think it's okay, you don't need to ask me, just send it directly." By the way, is the song titled ready? ”
"Mr. Yang, Meng Ran said that it is called Seeking Friends Enlightenment."
"Okay, let's send it."
Ending the call, Yang Xi was very happy and satisfied listening to this new song. Meng Ran doesn't eat alone, and he can share it with Yunlong, which is good.
In the evening, Yang Xi personally drove Meng Ran to the crew, and Dimuti was going to join in the fun, so Yang Xi had to take her over to have a look.
The tunnel of the Western Passage has been closed, and for this filming, the crew has already communicated with the relevant departments. Seeing that Meng Ran was coming, Director Lin arranged for the martial arts director to guide Meng Ran's martial arts movements, Meng Ran said no, he had read the script, just audition. The martial arts director called two martial arts instructors from his team, and with him, the three of them rushed towards Meng Ran.
Kicking the martial arts director's chest, his upper body leaned back to dodge the attack of the two martial arts instructors, stood sideways and gave the martial arts instructor on the left a punch, and gave the martial arts instructor on the right an elbow. The action is fluid and clean. Dimuti and Yang Xi stood aside and applauded in admiration. The martial arts director held his stomach and inhaled the cool air, thinking that this kid was really ruthless. The two martial arts instructors covered their noses, nosebleeds coming from between their fingers.
Director Lin saw it, and quickly called the medical team to deal with it, and told Meng Ran that it was okay not to be so ruthless, but it must be clean and neat. Meng Ran said okay, he would take some effort, and Director Lin arranged for the clothing team to come over to change clothes.
Meng Ran, who was wearing a suit, got out of the car and exercised vigorously, so that his clothes fit well and would not collapse when he made movements. Director Lin asked all departments to pay attention to preparing for the actual shooting, and explained the problem of props to Meng Ran, telling him that in the end, an actor would pull out a gun and face him, and he would take the gun and knock him down. That's probably the process, but this time there is no guidance from the martial arts director, and it's all improvised. Meng Ran said a word to all the actors in martial arts, don't be merciful. All the actors are in place and the actual shooting begins.
A black sedan drove out of the tunnel at a constant speed, and suddenly three vans rushed out of the intersection and crossed in front of the sedan. The sedan braked suddenly, and two of the three vans blocked the black sedan, and more than a dozen thug-looking people got out of the car, carrying sticks and wine bottles in their hands, and waited for the people in the car to get out.
Meng Ran pushed the car door and got out of the car, coldly swept over the dozen or so people, took off his blazer, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and rushed over like a cheetah that had seen its prey in the night.
With his shot, one by one, Wu Xing fell to the ground. A man in a suit got out of the van and aimed a gun at Meng Ran with a gun in his hand. The last two people, Meng Ran knocked out one with a knife, and the other jumped up and grabbed the other party's wrist holding the wine bottle with his left hand, and pushed the palm of his right hand on his chin, snatching the wine bottle and throwing it at the person holding the gun. As soon as the man dodged over, Meng Ran rushed to his eyes, grabbed his wrist and broke it out, the pistol fell, and kicked the man, who hit the car and lay on the ground.
Glancing disdainfully at the people who fell to the ground, he got into the car and drove away from the scene.
"Click! Very good! One over! "Director Lin is very excited, the first time he filmed, the action scene, just a pass! What does this mean, it shows that Meng Ran is a natural action actor!
Hearing what the director said, Meng Ran stopped the car and hurriedly ran back to the scene. He showed mercy to everyone else, except for the last brother with the gun, who didn't have the strength to hold the kick at that time, and kicked it with all his might.
When he arrived at the van, the gun-wielding martial artist covered his stomach and hummed in pain in his lower back. Looking at the van compartment in the back, it was hit by this brother and deflated. Meng Ran stepped forward to apologize, and by the way, asked if the back lumbar spine had been bumped, and if there was a problem, call an ambulance as soon as possible. As a professional martial artist, this brother has been doing it for so many years, and naturally knows how to fall to minimize the damage, and he feels that there is no big problem, but it hurts a little, just rest for a while.
Seeing that the Wuxing brothers were fine, Meng Ran was relieved. Director Lin took the opportunity to finish shooting a few sub-shots, looked at the scene behind, and then took a shot of the bodyguard being killed by the male protagonist.
In the picture, the male protagonist stopped walking and walking, looked back at Meng Ran and said, "Shadow, you have been with me for so long and know too many secrets about me, will you betray me?" ”
"No, it won't." Meng Ran shook his head lightly, and said two words coldly without speaking. The male protagonist smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I believe in you, so... Die! The male protagonist's expression suddenly became hideous, and he stabbed Meng Ran in the chest at close range, Meng Ran looked at the male protagonist with wide eyes and disbelief, covered his chest and took a few steps back against a tree, slowly lost his strength, and slowly fell. The male protagonist smiled evilly, stepped forward and pulled out the knife, carefully wiped off the fingerprints, threw the knife away, and said to Meng Ran: "Only the dead can really keep secrets forever", after speaking, the male protagonist got in the car and left.
"Click! Pass! Director Lin jumped up excitedly, he had never seen such an efficient actor in the industry for so long. If every actor can be so efficient in the future, they can basically pass the line, so it will be too convenient to shoot. Let's not talk about the first of these two scenes, the action scenes, Meng Ran's skill is understandable. The expressions and emotions in the second scene were simply on point, perfect and impeccable!
As soon as Meng Ran got up, the makeup artist ran over to help him deal with the traces of artificial plasma. Take off your blazer, take off your shirt and tank top, revealing strong muscles and scars. The female makeup artist's face turned red as soon as she could, and she used wet wipes to help Meng Ran rub the artificial plasma, rubbing the oil by the way, thinking about why there are so many scars on this person's body.
Dimuti saw the scars on Meng Ran's abdomen, the scars on her back and hands were all left when she saved her. The makeup artist wiped off the artificial plasma, wiped Meng Ran's chest suspiciously, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on!" The actor is injured! ”
Director Lin hurriedly ran over with Yang Xi and Di Muti, and the medical team also followed with a first-aid kit. When I looked closer, I saw a small wound in my chest, bleeding. Even so, the medical team took care of the wound very carefully. Director Lin called the prop master with a displeased face, pointed to Meng Ran's wound and asked, "You explain to me what's going on!" ”
The prop master was nervous and was about to speak, but Meng Ran relieved him and said: "I'm fine, Director Lin, when the tip of the knife pierced the blood bag, it may have been too strong, and the chest muscles were puffed up and stabbed in." It's all skin trauma, so don't be so nervous. ”
Meng Ran said so, and Director Lin couldn't say anything, so let the prop master pay attention next time. Meng Ran went to the car to change his clothes and said goodbye to Director Lin, who sealed a big red envelope for Meng Ran, saying that it was unlucky to be injured at the scene, and he wrapped a red envelope to get rid of bad luck, and then gave him the cost of filming through the company. Meng Ran hurriedly refused: "I'm just here to do you a favor, I'm already honored to be able to film your scene, and it hurts my feelings to raise money." In the future, if there is a suitable role, it will be good to give the actors of Dimuti and Jiayu a chance. ”
Director Lin insisted on letting Meng Ran accept the red envelope, saying: "In the future, if there is a suitable role, I must think about Xiaoti and Jiayu's actors first, and I will try to recommend it to other directors, but you must accept this red envelope, this is the rule of the crew." You ask your boss and Xiaoti, this is unlucky. ”
Meng Ran looked back at Yang Xi and Di Muti, and both of them nodded at him, indicating that what Director Lin said was true. Meng Ran accepted the red envelope and said goodbye to Director Lin, Director Lin had other scenes to film, so he transferred the scene, and left Meng Ran's WeChat and said that he would invite Meng Ran to drink celebration wine when the filming was over. Meng Ran said yes, got into Yang Xi's car and left.
In the car, Yang Xi looked at Meng Ran through the rearview mirror while driving, and said in surprise: "Okay, Meng Ran, I didn't expect that acting is also a good hand." Originally, Director Lin thought that your drama would have to be filmed for a day or two, but you are good, it will be over in less than two hours, but it will save the crew a lot of things. ”
Meng Ran leaned on the back seat and said a little sleepily: "Acting is nothing more than letting everyone see the most real side through performance." If you don't perform and directly restore the most real side, it is the most perfect. Today's second scene is a bit unreal, though. ”
"What's not true?" Dimuti turned around and asked Meng Ran. Meng Ran explained to her: "When the knife pierces the human heart, it will not die immediately. Even if it's only for a second, I can kill the other party in one move at such a close distance, and I have to pull a cushion to die. What's more, there is another kind of people, their heart grows on the right side, so there is still a bug in stabbing the heart with a knife. However, combined with the plot and the setting of the bodyguard, if it is really a loyal bodyguard, it is barely reasonable. ”
"Xiaoti, see it, there is still so much attention to such a little thing, study hard with Meng Ran in the future."
"I know Sister Yang Xi."
