Chapter 33, I'm a dramatist
When he got up in the morning, Meng Ran said good morning to Dimuti's parents, and because they still had to shoot, Meng Ran and Dimuti changed their clothes and drove to the school where Dimuti used to go.
After a day on campus, I met my former teachers and classmates, and I gained some memories and touches. The two men who returned home packed their suitcases and went to Dimuti's parents' house. After the shooting, they may have to wait for the Spring Festival to see each other again, and it's good to spend more time with them.
Time flies, and it's time for everyone to end their journey. Meng Ran and Dimuti said goodbye to Dimuti's parents and came to Wushi International Airport. After returning the car, Meng Ran and Di Muti pushed their suitcases to the VIP lounge at the airport, and several other couples had been waiting inside for a long time.
Everyone met and hugged each other, Wang Mian looked at Meng Ran and joked with everyone: "Let's see if this kid is a little fat!" Tut-tut, let Ti's mother feed it, right? ”
Meng Ran's embarrassed smile can be regarded as a kind of acquiescence. It's true that I've gained a little weight in the past few days, but it's the kind of thing that can be lost in half a month when I go back.
After the four couples interviewed separately, they chatted together about the best things about the trip and their expectations for future relationships, and ended the shoot in the last fight.
Meng Ran hugged Dafu, added his WeChat and said, "Don't worry, I will recommend it to you if there is a suitable girl." Take good care of your health, and I will invite you to dinner when you have the opportunity to come to Ben Thanh. ”
"By all means, take care!"
Saying goodbye to everyone, the plane is about to take off. Meng Ran and Di Muti reluctantly said goodbye to everyone, got on the plane and left Wushi, and returned to Bincheng.
Falling to the ground, the fans who picked up the airport were enthusiastic and crazy, and Wencheng took the bodyguards to get into the company's nanny car and leave the airport under the multi-layered cover of airport security and police. On the way back to the company, the two of them wondered why there were so many people, and when they arrived at the company, they found out that the second episode of the program broadcast today was a visit to the KSB Raw Water Center on the second day of the stick country and a visit to the aquarium and zoo on the third day.
Meng Ran, who is serious about learning, and he who loves animals, are really fans. When several other couples went to see the animal show, he was the only one who refused to watch the show with Dimuti. In the video, Dimu asked him, "Why don't you go to the show?" Meng Ran replied with some sadness: "In order to make a profit for the park, those animals have to be trained every day, and even have to be whipped and abused. Because there is a market demand, they will be treated like this. It would have been miserable to be locked in a cage and be visited and lose my freedom, and now I have to force business, I can't accept such a thing. ”
Recalling the previous Weibo post posted by the embassy in South Philippines, he and Dimuti can be awarded the Anti-Poaching Medal and the title of Honorary Citizen, and he is willing to pick up a weapon and even be hit by a bullet for anti-poaching, then he must love animals very much!
The official Weibo of the Huaxia Wildlife Conservation Association specially posted the edited words of Meng Ran, and @Mengran on Weibo, asking Meng Ran to be the public welfare ambassador of the Wildlife Conservation Association. Meng Ran, who arrived at the company, saw this Weibo and quickly forwarded it and commented: If you need me, I am willing to do my part for the wildlife protection work in China.
Soon, the news that Meng Ran became the new public welfare ambassador of the domestic wildlife conservation association spread all over the Internet.
After posting on Weibo, Di Muti and Meng Ran sat in front of Yang Xi. Yang Xi handed over the script of the campus youth-themed TV series that Meng Ran had taken over for Di Muti before his trip, and also gave Meng Ran a script. By the way, he told Meng Ran that he would participate in Brother Long's actor selection show in a few days, and then he would participate in the filming of Brother Long's two movies. Because Brother Long temporarily took over a movie with a very good script, and also asked Meng Ran by name, so Meng Ran wanted to make an additional movie. Dimuti will shoot the second part of last year's street shooting spy war web drama after this campus youth TV series.
Meng Ran really looked bitter, and the script was flipped over, which was indeed very good. Closed the script and said to Yang Xi: "It seems that the boss really doesn't want us to take a break." But it's been a long time since I've rested, it's time to move, otherwise I'm about to forget that I can act. ”
He took Dimuti's hand and said to her gently, "I'm sorry baby, we have to work separately for a while." Dimuti looked at him and said unmindfully, "It's okay, we can still meet after filming." We can also video and visit each other. It's okay. ”
Meng Ran, who was on the upper body of the drama spirit, sighed and said, "Alas... Baby, let's work hard to make money, make money to redeem yourself for you, so that we don't have to be so tired..."
Yang Xi knew what Meng Ran's virtue was, so he helplessly held his forehead and said, "Okay, you two will go back if you two are fine, I really obeyed you." Also, Meng Ran, when you were filming, I will be Xiaoti's agent, including your agent. You two go back and rest..."
"Chenghao, thank you boss! Goodbye boss! Meng Ran hugged Dimuti with a hippie smile, and the two of them left the company and got into the car and returned home.
When they got home, the two of them packed their suitcases again. The day after tomorrow, Dimuti will join the group, which means that he will have to leave tomorrow. Meng Ran also had to go to the magic capital to meet Brother Long first, and the show that selected actors was quite difficult. After packing their suitcases, the two sat on the couch and watched each other without speaking. Why are you speechless, because you are tired. As soon as the front foot comes back, the back foot has to continue to work. They are not bad, some artists shoot reality shows in the morning, go to the set to film in the afternoon, and go back to the hotel in the early morning to sleep for two or three hours and get up to shoot reality shows. How to say it... The glamour in front of the camera is too dazzling, blocking the silent efforts behind it.
Meng Ran hugged Dimuti distressedly, she snuggled in Meng Ran's arms and didn't speak. Think about it for a few more years and the contract expires and it would be good to come out independently, as long as there is a contract, nothing will work. It's good enough to be able to let her fall in love freely within the contract.
At noon the next day, the two were separated at the airport. Dimuti went to the city of Ludao, where Ludao University is one of the most beautiful universities in China. Meng Ran went to the magic capital, and Brother Long's program was to be recorded and broadcast on the magic capital satellite TV. The boarding gates are at opposite ends of the departure hall, and the two men walk a few steps and look back until they can't see each other. Meng Ran inexplicably had a premonition, a premonition that he would lose...
The plane landed on Heron Island. Di Muti got off the plane, and Yang Xi's designated agent picked her up and got into the car. Yang Xi said that she was Meng Ran and Dimuti's agent, but it was not that she would go into battle herself, but that she would leave it to the person she designated to do it. She has to film and do variety shows herself, so how can she have time to ask about these things in person. Leave the little things to other brokers, and just control the specific direction yourself.
The car stopped in the hotel where the crew stayed, and in the conference room of the hotel, Dimuti met the director, heads of various departments, screenwriters, producers, etc., and greeted everyone in turn. The director introduced the male number one Yang Han. As an artist who came out of the same period, Dimuti still has a good impression of Yang Han, and so does Yang Han, the two of them shook hands very friendly. The director introduced Qiao Nan, the second male who plays the role of the school psychologist in the play, who has the same number of scenes as the male one. Dimuti shook Qiao Nan's hand politely, and the director introduced on the side: "Qiao Nan not only plays a psychiatrist in the play, he is also a top student who graduated from psychology. is also one of the investors in this drama. ”
When Di Muti heard this, his impression of him instantly became very ordinary, and he was directly classified as a rich second generation who had no acting skills and wanted to praise himself.
In the studio of Modu Satellite TV, Meng Ran got off the plane and directly followed the agent surnamed Cao arranged by the company to the studio, and went to the studio with Brother Long and the directors, and made sure that the process was no problem, Meng Ran and Brother Long left here and went to the hotel.
The two of them chatted about the script in a hotel suite. As a gunfight-style movie, Brother Long's film departs from the original comedy or light comedy style, and this time it is an anti-terrorism style movie. Brother Long plays an elite agent living overseas in the movie, and by chance he learns that someone is going to launch a terrorist attack on his country, and he contacts the national anti-terrorism department. The operator who retired from the special forces played by Meng Ran reported this information to his superiors, but he was not taken seriously. Meng Ran and Brother Long had a one-line contact to save national security.
The script is very good, but some of the follow-up plots are a bit messy, for example, the part where the operator rushes into the enemy camp with a bomb at the end is a bit ridiculous. If the other party has guns and bombs, how can it be possible to allow someone to rush directly into their camp with a bomb and leave, just a shuttle or press the detonator to solve it.
Brother Long called the screenwriter, and the three of them changed the final ending many times, and also wrote several versions of the ending.
......
"Let's warmly welcome the initiator of the program "I Am a Drama Spirit", the famous film director and actor, Brother Long!"
Under the introduction of the host, Brother Long walked from the backstage to the front desk in a white casual Tang suit, waved at everyone, and sat in the judge's position facing the stage. The host waited for Brother Long to sit down, and then introduced to everyone: "Next, let's welcome Ma Xiao, a well-known director in the Chinese film industry who has been filming countless masterpieces for decades. ”
Director Ma came over from the backstage and waved at everyone, walked to the judges' seat, shook Brother Long's hand, and sat next to Brother Long.
"Miss Li Zirou, a famous Chinese actress, is invited."
Li Zirou, who was wearing a dark blue dress, walked on stage, greeted the audience elegantly, shook hands with the two film bigwigs at the judges' seat, and sat next to Director Ma.
"Next, please have only made two movies but amazed the directors, and single-handedly made the total box office of the two movies exceed 10 billion, Meng Ran!"
As soon as the name appeared, the audience burst into applause and cheers in the studio. Ma Xiao and Li Zirou knew that Meng Ran was one of the judges, but they were still looking forward to his appearance. He didn't show up for a few days before filming started, and he kept changing the script in the room, and by the way, he made a video with Dimuti.
Meng Ran came out of the backstage and shook hands with the host, bowed to the audience in all directions of the scene, walked to the judges' bench, bowed very modestly and stretched out his hands to shake hands with Ma Dao and Li Zirou, high-fived Brother Long, and sat down in the last position.
When everything was ready, Meng Ran signaled to the other three, sat on the chair and picked up the microphone in front of him, turned it on, and said in his magnetic voice: "The first group of players is invited to perform." ”
As soon as the voice came out, Li Zirou didn't care if she was elegant or not, she stood up and looked at Meng Ran in surprise, opened it with her microphone and said, "Oh my God!" Meng Ran, your voice is too good! ”
It's not just Li Zirou who thinks so, everyone thinks so. Meng Ran smiled embarrassedly at Li Zirou and watched the first group of players appear...
"Good morning, Miss Dimuti, this is a flower for you."
As soon as he arrived at the crew, Qiao Nan sent a bouquet of flowers to Dimuti. Dimuti said helplessly: "Mr. Qiao, I have said many times, I have a boyfriend, please don't do this kind of misunderstanding thing." ”
"You misunderstood Miss Dimuti, I just think you have a good mood every day when you start work. If you don't like it, I can not send it, I'm sorry to bother you. Qiao Nan politely put away the flowers and apologized, and left here. The crew knew that Dimuti's boyfriend was Meng Ran, although he made Brother Long's movie, but compared with this polite and gentle investor, it was still much worse. And Qiao Nan's appearance is also very good.
Meng Ran has been busy there these days, and she hasn't been in contact with Meng Ran for a few days. Often she sent a video invitation to Meng Ran, and when Meng Ran saw her come back, she was already asleep. No way, this is the life of an artist. The reason why there is no long-term marriage in the circle is not because of this nature of work.
Ordinary people get married and have children at the age of 256 to 356, and then live a stable life, going to work every day, accompanying their children after work, and when the children grow up to be able to live on their own, after dealing with the children's marriage, they also reach the retirement life. Go out to travel, relax, and wait for the child to have a child, then help the child watch the child. When the third generation grows up, they will face death, and finally the dust will return to dust, and this life will be over.
Artists will not be like this, their marriage and relationship will not be so stable, even if they have children and finally divorce. After the day is busy and the night is busy, the children are all nannies or family members. I don't enjoy it like ordinary people. Why do celebrities have money, the first thing they do is to make trendy brands or open stores, isn't it because they are afraid that they will be able to make money from their side hustles when they are out of fashion in the future, so as not to starve to death. This line of work, after all, is the law of the jungle...
At the end of the performance of the first group of contestants, Meng Ran, like the three judges, did not turn on the lights. After the three judges commented, it was his turn, he picked up the microphone, thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry teacher, you should be very nervous, and you didn't look at the camera and everyone during the whole process." Whether it's a movie actor or a stage actor, we can't be afraid of the camera. In addition, the plot and plot of your performance are actually a long time ago, not to mention the question of originality or not, but you must have your own ideas in choosing the theme. So I'm sorry I can't give you a pass, and I hope you can understand. ”
The players on the stage also knew their problems and bowed off the stage. Meng Ran wrote something on the notebook on the table in front of him, picked up the microphone and asked the next group to come on stage...
From 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., not only the players in the waiting room at the back were tired, but also the spectators. The three judges were also tired, and only Meng Ran was still standing.
The last contestant of the day, he stood on the stage and didn't know why he started singing. Meng Ran and the other three judges looked at each other, thinking that you are really a drama spirit! After he finished singing, Director Ma said impatiently: "I think you are mistaken, this contestant is a role that selects actors, not a singing show." ”
The contestant replied: "But the theme song is needed later in the movie!" And there is also background music in the middle of the movie, so I'm here! I'm the most powerful singer in China! ”
After saying this, the three judges, the audience, and all the contestants in the waiting room all woke up. Ah! There's a good show to watch!
The judges all looked at Meng Ran, he quickly turned his face to look elsewhere, and waved his hands frantically under the table, so don't look at me! Look at what I'm doing! What does it have to do with me! Don't get into trouble at this time!
Li Zirou took the microphone and said: "I'll just ask the contestants on the stage, do you think you can write a song like Meng Ran's theme song "Stop the War with War" for the movie "The Fearless"?" ”
The contestant replied proudly: "I think what he writes is rubbish!" ”
Meng Ran looked at the name of the contestant, his name was Peng Yang. Well... He understood why this man was so presumptuous. Meng Ran hurriedly got up and said to Peng Yang: "Then I don't think you are in Huaxia, you are the best and most powerful singer in the world." We're sorry we didn't give you the lights up, though, so you can go down and take a break while we're going to wrap up today's recording! ”
"What?! I'm noisy! You're doing shady things in public! I'm going to expose you! You're just jealous that I'm so good! Peng Yang said and rushed towards Meng Ran, holding the microphone to smash him. The security guards in the audience hurriedly rushed up to control him, Meng Ran sat on a chair and pulled a security guard to call the police and then send him to a psychiatric hospital, and by the way, he opened the Weibo news to the security guards, and the security guards read the missing person notice on it and escorted Peng Yang away from the stage.
Meng Ran picked up the microphone and turned to the director and complained: "Wow! You're really amazing! You don't watch the news, do you? That Peng Yang is the mental patient who has been digging a pit and escaping from the Modu police for the past few days. Do you think it's embarrassing? ”
The director nodded with a bitter face, and tears flowed into his heart!
There was such a thing, so I had to end today's recording. The four judges got together for a meal, and Meng Ran, who returned to the hotel, sent a video invitation to Dimuti.
The crew was filming a night scene, Qiao Nan saw Dimuti's mobile phone vibrate in the lounge, opened it and saw that it was a video invitation, clicked and hung up, entered the password to unlock the phone, opened WeChat to delete the hang-up reminder, and put the phone back in its original place.
