Chapter 46: Joining the Crew (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"Brother Xiaobai, where are you going next?" The driver saw that Chen Fei's face was not very good, and thought that he was dissatisfied with his smoking behavior, so he quickly explained: "If you mind me smoking, I won't smoke in the future." ”
The driver is a dark-skinned middle-aged man in his thirties, more than ten years older than Chen Fei, but Chen Fei is the boss, and he still has to be called brother when he should call him.
This is an unwritten rule.
"It's okay, as long as you don't smoke in the car, you can call me Xiaobai directly in the future, it's all a family, you're welcome, send me back to the apartment first."
The day after returning to the apartment, a call from the crew of "Crazy Stone" called Chen Fei's mobile phone, urging him to join the group.
Chen Fei cleaned up overnight, asked people to help buy a ticket to the mountain city the next day, and before leaving, he called Aunt Hong as usual.
As of the end of November, the total sales of Chen Fei's first album have exceeded the 100,000 mark, and are steadily sprinting towards the sales of 200,000 platinums, and the situation is very good.
This time, it was the driver and the new makeup artist who went to the mountain city with Chen Fei, and the assistant Hailan was still on the Jinsha side, and the assistant of Jinsha was probably not matched until she came back from the crew.
Chen Fei didn't care so much, and directly followed the two of them on the plane with his bags.
On the plane, Chen Fei has been quietly pondering the script.
The role of the Hong Kong Island Killer is much less than that of Xie Xiaomeng, and the difficulty is much lower, which is why the director suggested that he choose this role.
In the end, I still don't believe in his acting skills.
not only wants his popularity as a second-rate star, but also covets his ultra-low salary of 50,000 yuan, but also doesn't want to affect the shooting and quality of the movie because of his acting skills.
Coupled with the experience of contact in the grilled fish restaurant, Chen Fei had a preliminary impression of Director Ning in his heart.
This is a person who makes movies carefully and seriously, no wonder he has become the leader of the new generation of directors in another time and space.
There are very few scenes of the Hong Kong Island killer, the first time he appeared was outside the airport, the box was stolen by the crime trio played by Huang Bo, and there was no way, and after arriving at the destination, he could only go to the grocery store outside to buy new tools.
The second time was the theft of jadeite in the temple, and the dispute with the criminal trio and the on-site security guards, a series of high-tech technologies were displayed in front of the audience, letting people know that this killer is not simple.
The last time he appeared was in Xu Guangtou's office, he successfully stole the jade, came to find the boss behind the scenes to deliver the goods, and Xu Guangtou misunderstood each other, one used a gun and the other used a flying knife, and performed a good show of meeting on a narrow road in a small office.
In the end, Xu Guangtou fell under his flying knife, and when he called the boss behind the scenes to report the good news, he found that Xu Guangtou who fell to the ground was the one who entrusted him to steal the jade.
He personally killed the boss behind the mission entrusted to him.
It's a comedy with a hint of black humor.
The role of the Hong Kong Island killer brings people three impressions, the first is ruthless, the second is professional, and the third is a special Hong Kong Pu.
Hong Kong-style Mandarin can be solved by post-dubbing.
Chen Fei felt that with his singer who had no professional acting training, he was qualified for the role of a Hong Kong Island killer.
After all, he has been a human being in two lives, and he has watched the cost drama of the previous time and space, so if he really can't do it, he will directly play the role in the original play.
After pondering like this for a long time, my heart was settled, and I closed my eyes in a daze.
When I woke up again, I was already at Yamashiro Airport.
The group got off the plane after the other passengers, and just came out and shivered at the cold air of late autumn in the mountain city, the airport of which was built in a valley next to a mountain peak a few hundred meters above sea level.
It is said that it is not easy to find a flat place to build an airport in a mountain city.
The high altitude and low temperature of the airport gave Chen Fei the illusion of going straight from autumn to winter.
Several people walked forward one after another with the flow of people, thinking about whether to stop the car on the side of the road and go directly to the ancient city, which is the filming location chosen by the crew, which is nearly a two-hour drive from the mountain city.
The driver's eldest brother walked in front, and suddenly pulled Xiaobai's arm and shouted, "Is there someone sent by the crew to pick us up?" ”
Chen Feiding looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a gray suit standing outside the crowd holding a sign that read the words 'Hong Kong Island Killer'.
Chen Fei smiled knowingly, this crew is quite interesting.
Chen Fei's current popularity can't be underestimated, if he dresses up like a normal person and goes out, I'm afraid he won't even be able to get out of the airport, so this time he is ready, directly wearing a dog felt hat with a mask, and most of his face is blocked inside, unless it is someone next to Chen Fei, he really can't recognize it.
The crew also considered this problem, and directly used the role played by Chen Fei in the script to pick up the plane, which was a perfect way to avoid this problem.
Chen Fei and the three of them walked towards the man who picked them up, and the latter also found them, and before they could get closer, a thick Trump rushed towards them, which made people feel an inexplicable sense of joy when they heard it.
The man was a handyman of the crew, driving a half-used van, which suddenly made the makeup artist and driver who followed Chen Fei out of the door directly frowned.
Chen Fei is currently a star, so he sent this kind of car to pick up people?
It's too shabby.
The handyman also saw the unhappiness of several people, and while apologizing, he helped a few people stuff their luggage into the car, "Oh, don't mind, the only SUV of the crew is filming with the crew, and there is really no car." ”
Chen Fei asked curiously, "How long has the crew been on the film?" ”
"It's been almost a month since the start of filming, and I'm about to go to the scene of the killer on Hong Kong Island, Director Ning knows that you are busy promoting the new album, so he deliberately let you join the group a month late, our crew is very poor, so please bear with me."
How poor the crew was, Chen Fei saw it that day.
The ancient city is a small county town, the consumption here is not high, a double room is only 80 yuan a night, can you believe it?
The place where the crew settled was in a small hostel that didn't even reach a one-star rating.
The outside of the hostel is dilapidated, the exterior walls have not been painted for an unknown amount of time, and the original pink and white walls have turned gray-brown, and there are tangled wires and dilapidated outdoor air conditioners everywhere.
Standing at the door of the hostel, I feel like I have returned to the seventies and eighties.
The vicissitudes of life soon surrounded several people, and Chen Fei noticed that the driver and the makeup artist secretly glanced at each other, with a strong sense of regret in their eyes.
"Oops, hey, I'm sorry, Director Ning said that the funds are limited, and they have to be spent on the blade, don't look at the broken exterior wall of this hotel, there is everything inside, TV, air conditioning, and it's very clean."
Chen Fei was relieved instead, he carried his luggage and walked in first.
Now he is even more convinced in his heart that this movie will not be bad, the more stingy the director, the more it means that the money is spent on the blade, as for the dilapidated environment?
Is it worse than the situation when he was so poor in the previous time and space that he had no money to eat and sleep on the street?
