AWB Chapter 57 The Studio
Chapter 57 The Studio
The filming of "White Night" proceeded step by step.
The director of this film has high requirements for shooting light, and prefers natural light.In order to meet his shooting needs, two shooting locations were set up in City A, one in the urban area and one in the scenic area.
The location on the other side of the scenic spot is a bit far from home. When filming there, Shen Zhimi simply lived with the crew.
The initial filming progress was not too tight, but the director's requirements were very strict, and the actors who collaborated for the first time inevitably complained.
"I have cooperated with Director Zhang several times, and I still can't bear to see his furry behavior." Zhou Hong pressed his neck.
Shen Zhimi also yawned.
"You've adapted pretty well." Zhou Hong said, after a while, she realized, "Yes, you are the one who can shoot three characters at once, awesome!"
Shen Zhimi smiled, but this Director Zhang is indeed not the most annoying director he has ever worked with.
He had met a director before and relied heavily on inspiration.Every day during the day, he dragged the whole crew to wait there, and sat there all day until the sunset came up, and this guy slapped his thigh and said that he had an inspiration.
While chatting, Director Zhang came over, clapped his hands and said, "We have a rest this afternoon."
Zhou Hong let out a "fuck" sound, very surprised.
It's a pity for Shen Zhimi, but it's a pity that he's in a scenic spot now, and it takes several hours to drive back, so it's not very cost-effective.
Otherwise, he would go home and pick up Qin Heng.
Unexpectedly, the director went on to say: "Everyone will pick up someone with me, and we will have a meal together in the evening."
Zhou Hong was even more surprised: "Who is here? Haven't heard of it? Can Lao Zhang be freed for a day alone, and bring the whole crew to pick him up, how big is this person?"
"You don't even know?" Shen Zhimi asked.
Zhou Hong shook her head: "I also came to help based on favors. Look at Lao Zhang's attitude the day I came here?"
Zhou Hong imitated Director Zhang's tone: "It was just right when you came, go put on some makeup and let's start shooting!"
Shen Zhimi smiled for a while, feeling a little thumping in her heart.
Qi Yu should take over this play in the book.
As for the protagonist, he will always be favored by all kinds of giants in the crew, and he will be approached by various things.
Director Zhang was obviously very hardworking. He called off work in the morning and ordered meals at nearby restaurants.
When it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, a car stopped outside the set.
The door opened, and a beautiful woman came out.
The woman was tall and slender, she looked to be in her early thirties at first glance, and she was dressed intellectually.
As soon as this person came down, Zhou Hong immediately said: "Sister Tu! Lao Zhang actually invited Sister Tu here? The news is still so tight!"
The person who can make Zhou Hong call her sister must have a high status.
Shen Zhimi stared at this sister Tu for a while, and recognized her. He had seen the actress's early movies, and her acting skills were very good.
"This is my goddess. I entered the circle because of her!" Zhou Hong's voice was a little excited.
This actress is called Tu Yue, and she is indeed the goddess of many people's childhood.She was a popular actress who almost dominated the film and television industry more than ten years ago, seven or eight years older than Zhou Hong.
When female artists get older, they will slowly transform, and some even quit the entertainment circle.
Tu Yue's transformation was very successful, but instead of being active in the front line of film and television, she fixed her image as a "mother-level" actor, but turned to work behind the scenes and opened a very famous artist studio.
Unlike ordinary entertainment companies, Tu Yue's studio only recruits actors.In the eyes of many artists who only want to act, Tu Yue's studio is the best choice, not one of them.
Zhou Hong's voice was a little emotional: "Sister Tu is very hardworking, and the output of film and television has come down in the past few years. She has a good relationship with almost all well-known directors at home and abroad, and the film and television resources in her hand make people dare not even think about it." I think. And they are all high-quality resources that you can’t get with money.”
"You are also my goddess." Shen Zhimi said with a smile.
"I'm still far behind." Zhou Hong smiled.
Shen Zhimi knew what Zhou Hong meant.
There is a seven or eight year age difference between her and Tu Yue, but the gap between her and Tu Yue may not be filled in seven or eight years, so she is inevitably a little anxious now.
Over there, Tu Yue said a few words with the director, and walked towards the room together.
Shen Zhimi looked at Tu Yue, feeling neither excited nor moved, only slightly uneasy.
He slowly matched people up.
The book seems to have mentioned Tu Yue as a big boss.
She has a good relationship with Gu Junyao and Qi Yu, and now that Shen Zhimi "robbed" Qi Yu's role, he was quite afraid that this boss would make trouble for him.
"You should have met Zhou Hong." Director Zhang introduced one by one, "The last time Zhou Hong won the award, was it you who gave the award?"
Tu Yue smiled and nodded, and hugged Zhou Hong.
"This is Xiao Shen, he is considered a newcomer in the entertainment industry." Director Zhang said.
"Hello, Sister Tu, I like your movie very much." Shen Zhimi said.
Compared with Zhou Hong, Tu Yue was obviously a lot colder.
Shen Zhimi could feel her looking him up and down.
"Shen Zhimi, right? I've heard of it." Tu Yue nodded lightly.
Shen Zhimi didn't force himself to move up, and retreated behind after saying hello.
Tu Yue didn't sit at the actors' table, but sat with a few directors, occasionally chatting about production and script issues.
While eating, Zhou Hong suddenly poked Shen Zhimi: "I remembered, did Sister Tu know Qi Yu?"
There was some worry in Zhou Hong's words, Shen Zhimi waved his hand: "Whatever."
This is a scenic spot, but the flow of people is not too large.
After dinner, the crew played around again, and Director Zhang also took the opportunity to book a few filming locations.
Back at the hotel under the film crew, Zhao Qi also heard about Tu Yue coming to the film crew, so he made a video call to Shen Zhimi.
"It's a bit troublesome." Zhao Qi said, "I inquired about it, and Tu Yue gave Qi Yu's script. It seems that Tu Yue's original choice for the leading role was Qi Yu. I'll go to the crew tomorrow, so don't worry about any problems. .”
Shen Zhimi knew what Zhao Qi meant.
It is very common for the crew to replace some actors with fewer roles.
Changing protagonists is not common, nor is it impossible.
Based on how much Director Zhang attaches importance to Tu Yue, if Tu Yue insists that he is not suitable and wants to replace him, Director Zhang may not necessarily compromise.
Shen Zhimi had seen a similar thing in his previous life. A veteran film star was dissatisfied with the rookie who was the protagonist, and he usually didn't say it clearly.
The newcomer couldn't hold on to the constant ng, so the film king took advantage of the situation and proposed to change actors, and the director had no choice but to agree.
But Shen Zhimi didn't worry about this, Tu Yue suppressed him in this way, he was not a newcomer, so he wouldn't be unable to hold on.
I was afraid that Tu Yue's method would be too straightforward, so I mentioned it directly.
The next day was Tu Yue's first day on the set. To celebrate, the set must use her role to start the film.
It just happened to be a scene between her and Shen Zhimi.
Tu Yue doesn't have many roles in the movie, playing the role of a charming bar hostess.Shen Zhimi was a plainclothes policeman who came to investigate the case, and wanted to extract information from the boss.
When Zhao Qi came over, the slate had already been laid.
Shen Zhimi was leaning on the bar and talking to the female boss. The female boss held a cigarette in one hand and reached out to pat Shen Zhimi's cheek while speaking.
After a while, the director yelled "click".
Zhao Qi's heart immediately lifted.
Director Zhang stared at the monitor for a while, and finally said, "Today's first scene was shot well."
Zhao Qi's heart fell into his stomach.
But then Director Zhang yelled again: "Shen Zhimi, come here!"
Zhao Qi was a little worried.
Director Zhang said, "Go in and take a few close-ups."
After a while, Shen Zhimi came down from the field.
Zhao Qi patted his chest: "I was scared to death. How do you feel? Is there any scene that suppresses you?"
Shen Zhimi shook his head: "I don't feel anything."
Zhao Qi was relieved at first, and then looked at Shen Zhimi: "Don't be snarky, are you?"
For an actor of Tu Yue's level, if she hadn't deliberately released the water, ordinary actors would not even be able to make a play.
As a result, Shen Zhimi said that he didn't feel anything.
"The boss has such a strong aura, I don't know if she is deliberately suppressing my scene." Shen Zhimi smiled, "Anyway, just pass it."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qi still had no idea.
But Director Zhang seemed quite satisfied with Shen Zhimi.
Zhao Qi didn't go back to the city that night, but stayed nearby.
If other artists suppress Shen Zhimi, she is not so worried.However, if you can not offend a big boss like Tu Yue, you should not offend him.
Shen Zhimi didn't care much.
In the evening, he drank two extra cups of coffee, couldn't fall asleep, and was afraid of disturbing Xiao Wu who lived with him, so he simply sat in the small hall on the first floor of the hotel and read the script.
After watching for a while, he unconsciously took out his mobile phone and clicked on the WeChat chat page.
Five dollars: have been staying in the scenic area recently?
Shen Zhimi didn't have time to read the message that was sent in the evening.
Shen Zhimi replied: I should be able to return to the city in a few days. Director Zhang is crazy and wants to take a picture of a flower in the scenic spot.
It was pretty fast back there.
five yuan:?
Five dollars: What time is it and you haven't slept yet?
Five dollars: At this point in time, the work has not been dismissed, how much is your producer's salary?
These words were a bit fierce, Shen Zhimi looked at them and smiled for a while.
Shen Zhimi: I finished work early, and I couldn't fall asleep after sleeping for a while.
Shen Zhimi: Didn't you sleep too?
Five dollars: It's noon here.
Qin Chou sent a positioning, it seems that he is flying abroad to discuss business.
Shen Zhimi looked at it, and felt that their conversation was so boring.
He stared at the phone screen and smiled for a while before typing back: I drank too much coffee, now I'm sleepy, I'll sleep right away [yawn] [yawn]
Shen Zhimi was about to go upstairs, but saw someone coming down the stairs.
"Sister Tu?" Shen Zhimi was a little surprised.
Tu Yue came down from upstairs.
Her face looked a little pale, and there was still a little panic between her brows, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.
Seeing Shen Zhimi, she took a step back, with a smile on her face: "You haven't slept yet? The hot water in my room is gone, come down and pour some water."
Shen Zhimi nodded: "Well, look at the script behind."
Tu Yue took the kettle and walked to the water heater, staring at the water heater for a while to study.
"Let me fight." Shen Zhimi put down the script and walked over, "This water heater will splash water."
"Thank you." Tu Yue smiled at him.
Shen Zhimi observed Tu Yue subconsciously.
During the day, Tu Yue wore makeup on her face, but she couldn't see anything.After taking off his makeup at night, he realized that the big man's eyes were a little black.
It doesn't look like it's just one night, but it looks like it's caused by long-term insomnia.
"Is Tu sister sleeping well?" Shen Zhimi tried to chat.
"Well, I haven't been to City A for a long time." Tu Yue said.
"Shall I help you carry it up?" Shen Zhimi said after fetching water, "The kettle is quite heavy."
"Is that convenient?" Tu Yue asked.
"Well, I'm going upstairs anyway." Shen Zhimi said.
Tu Yue didn't shirk anymore.
The two walked up the stairs together.
Shen Zhimi didn't mean to curry favor with Tu Yue, but after all, he worked in the same crew, so it's always right to have a good relationship with this boss.
After going around several flights of stairs, Tu Yue suddenly asked, "Xiao Shen, do you think that for a terminally ill patient, early death is a kind of comfort?"
This topic is a bit dangerous, Shen Zhimi was startled.
But he suddenly thought that the proprietress played by Tu Yue was terminally ill.
Sure enough, Tu Yue explained with a smile: "If I can't sleep well at night, I like to think about characters."
Shen Zhimi deeply agrees with these words.
Shen Zhimi thought about the proprietress' personality, and tried to express his own understanding: "It shouldn't be, I knew I was terminally ill, but I didn't give up at the beginning, this person should have a strong desire to survive, and he wouldn't want to die. of."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Tu Yue's face darken slightly.
But Tu Yue quickly smiled again: "You are right in saying that."
Shen Zhimi's heart was pounding, wondering if his understanding of the role was different from this boss.
He thought about it and didn't patch it up, since he wasn't playing the proprietress anyway.
Back in the room, Shen Zhimi was also a little uncertain.
He then took out his mobile phone, and Qin Sang's last message was still floating there.
Five bucks: less coffee.
Shen Zhimi replied to him: I won't drink tomorrow.
Xiao Wu in the next bed was already sleeping like a pig, Shen Zhimi rolled over on the bed, and carefully suppressed his movements.
He thought about what happened at night, and couldn't help typing in the input box: a big boss came to the set, and it seems a bit difficult to get along with, I'm so afraid of QAQ.
After the beating, Shen Zhimi felt a little ashamed again...
What's more, he obviously didn't let Qin Sang intervene in his work, and now he took the initiative to complain to Qin Sang about the difficulties he encountered at work, isn't it a little too much?
Shen Zhimi deleted every word and only sent a good night.
The next day, Shen Zhimi got up in the morning to film as usual.
He was listening to director Zhang explain the next scene in front of the monitor, when he saw Tu Yue's assistant walking over: "Mr. Shen, Sister Tu called you over, saying there is something wrong."
As soon as these words came out, the busy people around all looked this way.
On the day Tu Yue came, everyone could see that Tu Yue was not very warm to Shen Zhimi.
In fact, Tu Yue is also quite indifferent to other actors, but the relationship between Tu Yue, the Gu family and Qi Yu is not a secret, and everyone in the crew knows that Shen Zhimi and Qi Yu competed for a while during the audition, so it is inevitable to think too much.
Shen Zhimi also groaned in his heart.
Didn't he accidentally poke the big guy's lung tube last night, and Tu Yue decided not to bear it anymore, and just let him leave the set?
Shen Zhimi slowly looked at Director Zhang, hoping that the director would stand up.
Director Zhang scratched his head: "Then you go there? It's okay to push it in the next scene."
Shen Zhimi: "..."
There is no directorial dignity.
Under everyone's gaze, Shen Zhimi stood up, followed Tu Yue's assistant, and walked towards Tu Yue's lounge.
Seeing this, Zhao Qi hurriedly followed.
Both of them felt a little uneasy.
Shen Zhimi quickly calmed down, feeling a little angry, he refused to let this role go out, what can Tu Yue do to him?
Having made all kinds of psychological preparations, Shen Zhimi was taken aback when he opened the door of the lounge.
Unlike last night, during the day, Tu Yue put on careful makeup, and she didn't look haggard at all.
She sat on the sofa, smiled at Shen Zhimi, and handed over a contract directly.
"I've been watching you for a long time. I heard that you have terminated your contract with the original company. Are you interested in coming to my studio?"
When Shen Zhimi was stunned, even Zhao Qi was stunned for a while.
"This is the contract template." Tu Yue passed the document forward again.
Shen Zhimi reached out to take it.
Unexpectedly, Tu Yue asked him to come here, and it turned out to be this matter.
"Shocked?" Tu Yue asked with a smile.
Shen Zhimi nodded.
Every actor wants to enter Tu Yue's studio.
Even though Zhou Hong has become a movie queen, she is still very envious of the resources in Tu Yue's hands.
When Shen Zhimi was looking for a company, of course he also considered Tu Yue's studio, but Tu Yue hired very few people.
In addition, he had friction with Qi Yu during the audition, and knew that Tu Yue was biased towards Qi Yu.Out of belief in the plot in the book, Shen Zhimi never thought that he could enter Tu Yue's studio.
"This is just a template, we can discuss the specific details later." Tu Yue smiled gently, "There is no rush, I just have something to leave recently, you can think about it carefully."
Until Tu Yue left the lounge, Shen Zhimi and Zhao Qi were still in surprise.
"Sister Zhao, I'm going to have a company soon!"
"That's right! It's still a company that actors in the industry want to join but can't!" Zhao Qi said.
Zhao Qi was indeed happy for Shen Zhimi.
Shen Zhimi is a very talented actor, and he is obviously not interested in variety shows. With his voice, the idol route related to singing and dancing is also directly insulated.
Shen Zhimi likes to act. If he succeeds in this way, he will beat other artists by a few blocks, but he will be eliminated easily in the early stage.
To be able to enter Tuyue's company, the road ahead will be much smoother.
With the performing arts resources in Tu Yue's hands, if Shen Zhimi leaked a little, it would be enough for him to climb up.
Another thing is...
Tu Yue's friends are all famous directors in the world, the ones who win awards at major film festivals and get soft hands are considered the backbone of the performing arts.
This kind of director will not be easily manipulated by capital. Even if Shen Zhimi has a falling out with Qin Sang in the future, he will have a certain ability to resist Qin Sang.
"When you first approached me and said that you would terminate the contract with the company and let me be your manager, I thought we would get along for a long time." Zhao Qi looked at Shen Zhimi with emotion, "It seems that soon we The cooperation is coming to an end."
"Sister Zhao helped me a lot." Shen Zhimi said.
"Then you do a good job in filming and winning awards. In the future, if you say that you are an artist I have supervised, I will have face!" Zhao Qi said.
The two talked for a while before going out.
Director Zhang smiled when he saw Shen Zhimi: "How did you talk with Tu Yue?"
"Director, you already know?" Shen Zhimi asked.
Director Zhang laughed like a fool: "How about it, my acting skills are pretty good, right?"
Shen Zhimi: "..."
"Looking at you like that, I know you think Tu Yue is going to trouble you." Director Zhang shook his head, "Don't look at her being indifferent to you on the surface, she often asks you in private, saying that this child is very young, how is her acting skills? so good?"
Shen Zhimi was a little embarrassed.
The rest of the crew also thought that Tu Yue would trouble Shen Zhimi for Qi Yu.
Looking back, seeing that Shen Zhimi was still staying on the set, it was only after inquiring that Tu Yue was in trouble?She even took the initiative to invite Shen Zhimi into her studio!Immediately surprised and envious.
Shen Zhimi was so happy that he returned to his room and threw himself on the bed, and sent a message to Qin Chou when he found the phone.
Shen Zhimi: [Happy];
Shen Zhimi: [circling];
Five dollars: what happened, why are people so happy?
Shen Zhimi: You are stupid!
Shen Zhimi: [furious];
After arguing for a while, Shen Zhimi wanted to share what happened today with Qin Sang.
But just as he was about to type, his fingers paused.
He wasn't sure if Qin Sang would be happy to hear the news.
Shen Zhimi could vaguely sense Qin Sang's thoughts.
This man is a bit high on control.
For example, last time, just knowing that he took Han Lu's private jet, Qin Lan was very upset.
If it's all according to Qin Xi's wishes, this person probably wants to arrange him in a company that he can intervene in, so that he can keep track of his movements at any time.
But Shen Zhimi was actually a little scared.
I'm afraid of many things, afraid that he and Qin Can's relationship will not be good in the future, and also afraid that I will completely rely on another person in my career and lose myself.
He came to this world inexplicably, and he also wanted to have a great sense of security, but he really couldn't.
and……
There is a difference in status between him and Qin Lane.
Shen Zhimi has seen too many examples of similar beginnings but tragic endings, making him ignore everything like a fledgling kid, and Shen Zhimi can't do it.
But now that work has improved, Shen Zhimi finally feels at ease.
Slowly gaining a foothold in this world, maybe the little fear in his heart will also disappear.
Shen Zhimi typed on the phone: I was praised by the director today!
Five dollars: As expected of you, you will go to heaven immediately after being praised.
Shen Zhimi stared at the phone and smiled: And he will be back in the city soon.
Five dollars: This is indeed worth being happy, and you can see me when you come back.
Shen Zhimi: Shame on you (finger pointing.gif);
Shen Zhimi did return to the city very quickly, and lived a life where he could go home after filming, and returned to Qin's house that night.
Qin Sang was still as busy as ever, and only caught a plane back to China at night.
He came back a little late.
I thought Shen Zhimi was already asleep, but when I looked at the crack in the door of the master bedroom, Qin Ping found that the light was still on.
He frowned and pushed open the door, and saw that Shen Zhimi was still sitting in front of the workbench in the outer room, looking down at the documents, just like a few days ago.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shen Zhimi turned his head and immediately regained his energy.
"you're back!"
He stood up and rushed over in three steps and two steps.
Qin Xie had long been used to his movements, and he didn't even retreat, he stretched out his hand to hold him firmly.
Why are you still busy?
This sentence turned twice in his mouth and became: "Why are you so happy?"
Shen Zhimi didn't speak, just hugged him and smiled.
Qin Chou glanced at the workbench and sighed: "How many more days do you have to stay?"
"I won't be busy soon." Shen Zhimi said.
Qin Sang raised his eyebrows: "Have you found the right company?"
Obviously wanting to keep it a secret, Shen Zhimi still couldn't help the desire to share, and nodded heavily.
Qin Xi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little happy in his heart.
If Shen Zhimi continued to work so hard, he might not be able to help finding a company for Shen Zhimi.
