Chapter 64: The Storm
Of course, this slap Qiao Mingxi didn't really hit, but just brushed it gently, and when it came to the later stage, they would naturally match this shot with a sound, and now they only need to make expressions.
After Qiao Mingxi finished beating, she was angry and incredulous, angry at what she had just said, she couldn't believe that she would beat her cherished daughter, and she had mixed feelings for a while, and she wouldn't say anything.
As for Chen Lanlan, she should be extremely incredulous, and then angry, and then mixed with fear in anger, because this is the first time her mother has beaten her, and she is a little scared in addition to being uncomfortable.
This was the first time she'd hit her!
She covered her face in disbelief and looked at her mother in disbelief: "You, you hit me!" I hate you to death! With that, he rushed out the door.
"Hey, don't go!"
Qiao Mingxi hurriedly chased after him.
"Click!"
The director nodded, it was over.
But when Chen Lanlan came back, she didn't see much joy, and glared at her fiercely.
Qiao Mingxi smiled and stepped forward to apologize to her: "I'm sorry, I saw that you couldn't get into the play before, so you hit a little harder, are you okay?" ”
If you look closely, you can see that Chen Lanlan's face is a little red, which is exactly where she slapped just now.
Chen Lanlan hooked her lips and wanted to laugh, but she didn't think of it, so she snorted and said, "Who asked you to help?" ”
"Am I not in a hurry? It's always hard to shoot, and the director is in a hurry, isn't it? Qiao Mingxi said slowly.
In the first few times, she did make a show and didn't hit hard, but later, seeing that she was absent-minded, she didn't pay much attention to acting at all, she was a little angry, and her subordinates used a little strength, not big, it would only make people feel a little painful.
But it doesn't leave any traces.
As for Chen Lanlangao's displeasure, it was not in her consideration.
Anyway, people always look at themselves as unpleasant, right?
Sure enough, after this set of operations, Chen Lanlan couldn't say anything even if she had grievances.
Qiao Mingxi's starting point was good, and she didn't use much strength, the red on her face disappeared after a while.
It doesn't hurt much.
But in fact, only she knew how dazzling the contempt and smile in the other party's eyes were when Qiao Mingxi came over to apologize.
She bit her lower lip hard.
She did it on purpose! Definitely!
Thinking about it this way, it will be difficult to shoot the next scene, and when she sees Qiao Mingxi, she can't help but wonder if she wants to say something to herself again, and whether she will be fooled again.
As a result, the already not very good acting skills became more and more ugly, and the director said that his saliva was dry, and it was only a little better.
In the end, he barely got through, and his brow was still tightly furrowed.
Obviously very dissatisfied.
Qiao Mingxi watched coldly, taking it as his business.
Anyway, Chen Lanlan's matter has nothing to do with her, and she hasn't settled the account with the company's senior management to force Sister Li before.
She herself is easy to talk to, but she can't see the people around her being bullied.
Time flies, although Chen Lanlan is not strong, but she has a hard backstage, and the director can only pinch her nose and admit it, thinking that it is a big deal to give more effort in the later stage to cover up the flaws of her acting skills.
But for Chen Lanlan, another test soon came.
She was going to shoot a scene where she fell into the water and struggled for a long time in the middle of winter before she was rescued.
And the person who saved her was another man in the village, and it was because of this incident that she became ill later, and finally died, causing a tragedy.
On the day of the shooting, it was strange to say, it had always been a hot day, but the night before there was suddenly cold air, and after the cold wind blew all night, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees.
Of course, it is not pleasant to go into the water in such weather.
After Chen Lanlan dressed up, she stood on the edge of the pond and did not move.
The director shouted: "Click! ”
It stands to reason that Chen Lanlan had to jump into the water at this time, and after making a struggling appearance, a staff member pulled her up.
Moreover, Qiao Mingxi also heard that for the sake of safety, the director forced people to pump out a lot of water in the pond in advance, so the water depth is actually as deep as the waist, and it can't be drowned at all, and it is very safe.
But Chen Lanlan hesitated, but she didn't dare to go into the water.
The director was helpless, so he called her over and explained, saying that the pond had been tidied up, the water was not deep, it was absolutely fine, and she could come up in at most half a minute if she went down, etc.
Chen Lanlan opened her eyes, looked at the director and asked, "Then, I heard that there is everything in the pond in the countryside, and there are snakes, I don't dare to go down!" ”
"You!" The director stomped his feet angrily, "I have also shown you the script before, what scenes have already been said in advance, you don't know, you won't say it in advance if you don't shoot it?" Speaking of this at the end of the day? ”
Isn't this a deliberate embarrassment?
Chen Lanlan bit her lip and didn't speak, of course she had read the script, she thought about it well at the time, anyway, it's hot now, and she went into the water to swim, but she didn't expect it to cool down, and she didn't expect that this was not a swimming pool, but a dirty pond.
Let her jump in? Don't want to!
"Director, use a stand-in." Chen Lanlan couldn't help but say in the end.
"You! I don't need a stand-in for filming! The director finally roared.
Scapegoat? She figured it out!
At this time, Chen Lanlan's agent saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly came up with a smile on his face, first called Chen Lanlan aside and said a few words, and then went to appease the director.
I didn't know what to tell the director, the anger on the director's face gradually dissipated, and finally there was a look of helplessness on his face.
Qiao Mingxi saw the whole process in his eyes, and immediately understood that the director was mostly compromised.
There is no way, this kind of period film is destined to not take the commercial route, that is, it will not make money, in this case, few investors are willing to invest, and the investment of her and Chen Lanlan's company is the majority of it, which made the two of them join the crew.
Now it's okay, even if the director is unwilling, he has to compromise for the sake of money.
It looks like I'm looking for a stand-in.
But the problem came again, because the director did not have the habit of using stand-ins, the staff in the script had not thought of this stubble before, and it was even more difficult to find someone who was about the same age as Chen Lanlan temporarily.
The director waited all morning, but the final result was not suitable.
When the director finally heard the news, he heard that he had dropped the thermos cup in his hand.
Looking at Chen Lanlan's expression of "it has nothing to do with me", she was very calm.
The director wiped his face and was agitated.
Xiaozhu said in Qiao Mingxi's ear: "This Chen Lanlan is too disrespectful, right?" It's not that I didn't know how to go into the water before, and if I didn't go into the water, I didn't say it in advance, to see what it would be like to embarrass the director. ”
The tone was full of contempt.
Qiao Mingxi shook his head and said: "People are young, and they are held in the palm of their hands, so it's normal that they can't endure hardship." ”
Seeing that the director was helpless, he stepped forward to talk to Chen Lanlan again, probably saying good things to let her go into the water.
The two of them were far away, they couldn't hear anything, they could only see the expressions of the two of them, and after seeing that the director said a few words, Chen Lanlan shook her head decisively and refused very firmly.
The director straightened up, glanced at the people present, and finally stopped here at Qiao Mingxi, and then strode over.
Xiaozhu's eyes widened: "Ah, the director is here!" ”
Qiao Mingxi frowned, looked at the director and asked, "Director?" ”
The director sighed and said, "You also saw that Chen Lanlan refused to go into the water, and it may be very troublesome today." ”
Qiao Mingxi said: "Why don't we change the scene?" Wait until the stand-in comes? ”
This is also a routine operation, and filming does not depend on the order of the story.
But the director shook his head: "I have already asked people to clean up the pond before, and a lot of water has been pumped out, and people have fished out all the fish raised in it and raised them, and when I finish filming, I will put them back immediately, so we can't delay time!" ”
This is a fish pond contracted by others, maybe it is their income for a year, so it really can't be delayed.
"So, what do you want?" Qiao Mingxi asked.
"Is this?" The director's tanned face showed an embarrassed look, "I have a request, see if you can agree." ”
Looking at the director's appearance, a guess appeared in Qiao Mingxi's heart, and before she could speak, the director had already said it.
"That's the case, I took a look, Chen Lanlan said that she really can't go into the water during her menstrual period today, so I can't help it, I can't joke with her body, so, can you help?" The director asked cautiously.
"Who are you......"
"I mean, you can change into the same clothes as her and go into the water in her place, and it will only take half a minute, okay? Of course, this is my offer, and you can completely refuse! "The director said very carefully.
Qiao Mingxi lowered her eyes and sneered, what is her menstrual period, she saw Chen Lanlan eating ice cream this morning, it must be an excuse.
However, this may be a good opportunity.
Xiaozhu was anxious: "Sister Xiaoxi, don't agree, this is obviously Chen Lanlan's business, what does it matter to you?" ”
She said very carefully, but some of the words were heard by the director, and he was a little embarrassed: "Since that's the case, then I'll ask someone else to go." ”
He turned to leave, Qiao Mingxi's eyes flashed, and he stopped.
"Wait!"
The director turned around, his eyes shining with hope.
"I promise." Unexpectedly, Qiao Mingxi agreed.
The director was immediately ecstatic: "Really? Okay, let's go change your clothes, thank you this time. ”
"You're welcome, and it's not a big deal." Qiao Mingxi smiled slightly.
She was willing to agree because the director had protected her in many ways before and treated her very well.
She is such a person, and when others treat her well, she wants to go back to ten points.
So this time, when I saw the director embarrassed, I relented.
Xiaozhu was anxious: "Sister Xiaoxi, you, be careful when you go into the water, what if you catch a cold or something?" ”
"It's okay, it'll be fine for a while." Qiao Mingxi comforted her while looking towards Chen Lanlan, and saw that her gaze also looked over.
Is this staring at yourself?
"But, but......" Shinotake was about to cry.
"Don't worry, come, do something for me, don't make a noise." Qiao Mingxi beckoned her to come closer, and whispered a word in her ear.
