Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 407 405. Real and fake wedding

The weather was bright and spring was just right. Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren got up early.

Today they have to rush to Wuxi, where most of the location scenes of Daming Palace were filmed. After they finish filming the location scenes there, they have to return to the capital.

Originally, there was no need to go to such trouble, but Chen Li'an had never been in the cast before, and many scenes could not be filmed, so it has been delayed until now.

Going to Wuxi is quite troublesome. In the past few years, you could take a plane to Suzhou and then transfer to Wuxi.

When Chen Li'an went to Wuxi to shoot Fengyue in 1994, he took the same plane.

It’s just that the airport is now out of service. There is no airport in Suzhou, and there is no airport in Wuxi now. You can only go there by car or by plane to Shanghai and then transfer there.

The next day, Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren set off for Wuxi together. By the time they arrived in Wuxi, it was already afternoon.

Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren arrived quickly, but so many people from the crew arrived slowly. They all came by train, and they would probably arrive in the middle of the night.

There was nothing interesting in Wuxi in 1999, and Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren were not in the mood to go out for fun. They were taking a plane and changing trains, so they rested in the hotel and didn't want to go out.

In the hotel room, Beauty Chen patted Chen Li'an's hand away and said, "Be honest, I will dress up beautifully to marry you tomorrow, and I will have a good rest tonight."

"Have you been looking forward to it for a long time?" Chen Li'an hugged her and said, "I'm sorry I can only give you a wedding in a TV series."

Speaking of this, Chen Meiren suddenly said seriously: "Don't act so seriously tomorrow. Xue Shao doesn't want to go to Taiping, but you can't!"

"I understand, take a few more pictures and we can enjoy them when we go home!"

"Just understand. If you ask Li Xue to intervene in investment matters, I'll let you go first."

It's just that they want to rest, but others don't give them the chance.

Not long after they arrived in Wuxi, someone came to their door. It was the boss of Wuxi Film and Television City.

After Chen Li'an received the call from the front desk, he guessed why they came here.

Looking at Meiren Chen who was still a little moody, Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Don't say I'm partial. Now that I'm giving you a chance, the film and television city will definitely want to cooperate with us. What the film and television city lacks most is a crew to film. You go talk to him."

"Why don't you give me a chance? You're just too lazy to see him." Chen Meiren said she was disgusted but she had already started to dress up.

Talking about cooperation needs to be more formal. Just now, I was fooling around with Chen Li'an and my stockings were torn.

Chen Li'an feels that Chen Meiren has actually done well in the past few years, but she has no specific plans for the future.

Maybe it's because I've been involved in the domestic film and television industry for too long, and because of market policies, I don't have a clear plan for the future. In the end, my vision is still a bit narrow.

Chen Li'an is not very concerned about the entertainment industry at the moment. With the situation in China, the golden period will only come in a few years. There is no need to invest too much energy now.

Now let them toss it around and treat it as exercise.

Chen Meiren went downstairs to discuss cooperation with people from Wuxi Film and Television City. Chen Li'an simply stopped taking a break. He was so busy filming these days that he didn't pay attention to the situation of Magic Flute and Lixin.

Chen Li'an called one of his assistants, took the documents from Magic Flute and Lixin and read them. After reading all the documents, Chen Li'an and Li Fuzhen made a phone call.

The Magic Flute player did not perform well in the Asian market and sales were very low, and it was far from as popular as the European and American markets.

However, it is understandable that several Asian countries have not yet recovered from the financial crisis.

Wealth has been robbed, where can we get the money to buy such expensive things?

Li Fuzhen is now in Tokyo. When he received a call from Chen Li'an, he didn't talk about work, but just asked him when he would be free.

Li Fuzhen was actually very clear about Chen Li'an's situation. He knew that he was filming a TV series and didn't even bother to say a few words to him.

He didn't even listen to what he said. What was he talking about?

Chen Li'an held up his mobile phone and said: "I will go to Tokyo in September, but I will have a few days to rest next month. I can fly to see you."

"See you in Seoul next month, my father wants to see you." Li Fuzhen said directly.

Chen Li'an thought about the news he had just seen from Lixin, thought for a while and said, "No problem, I just have something I want to talk to you about."

"Then see you next month."

After Li Fuzhen hung up the phone, he sat there and thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know when he would give up those boring things.

I really don’t understand what’s so fun about being an actor.

Being an actor is actually not fun, but Chen Li'an likes it, just like some people like collecting, some people like rock climbing, and some people like playing cards. It's just the joy of life.

Actors are indeed not worthy of recognition in the eyes of rich people, but this is just Chen Li'an's hobby. Who would really use actors to measure Chen Li'an.

Actors like Chen Li'an are really not alone in the industry. There are many people who act for their own hobbies.

At about six o'clock, Chen Meiren came back. Seeing Chen Li'an sitting there reading a book, she walked over and leaned on his shoulder as if she was boneless.

"I'm so tired. He wanted to invite us to have dinner together, but I refused."

"Who needs a meal?" Chen Li'an turned to look at Chen Meiren and said, "Chinese people like this way of doing business, but you don't have to. Just refuse if you have to."

"I know, it's not like I'm begging him. If it's beneficial, I'll cooperate. If it's not beneficial, I won't cooperate if he treats me for a month."

After resting for a while, Chen Meiren sat up and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I'm hungry, let's go eat, and come back to sleep after eating."

"Okay, I heard that Wuxi's pork ribs, crispy eels and Taihu fresh food are all good. Let's go out and try them."

The food in Wuxi is really good, much better than that in Hangzhou. Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren came back with full bellies.

When we got back to the hotel, neither of us wanted to move much, so we just took a shower and went to bed.

The person who came the next day slept in and didn't get up until noon. The crew arrived last night and went to the set this morning.

The filming will officially start in the afternoon. Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren had a meal with Li Shaohong at noon and then went to Wuxi Film and Television City.

After the car arrived at the set, Beauty Chen immediately hugged Chen Li'an and appeared intimately in front of the set.

Mr. Zhou is no longer on the crew, and she will be Princess Taiping from now on!

The only princess in the cast!

I was disgraced by Mr. Zhou that day, and I must get it back today, otherwise I don't know what these people will say behind my back.

Chen Meiren took Chen Li'an around the set and greeted many actors and staff. She was extremely cordial.

Chen Li'an was a mascot. He walked around with her and then went to the dressing room.

In the dressing room, Chen Li'an put on the wig again and began to change into costumes. Today's clothes were a little different from before. They were wedding clothes.

Chen Li'an looks good in it, and the crimson wedding dress looks very festive.

This scene is actually quite interesting. Taiping happily married, but he didn't know that Xue Shao was already married and his wife was killed, although in the end it was covered up with the body of the maid.

But in the eyes of Xue Shao's family, Taiping was like a demon that destroyed their home.

Chen Li'an's makeup was easy to apply and was done in a short time, but Chen Li'an's makeup was never done properly.

Chen Li'an went to her dressing room to take a look. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard the voice of the costume designer from inside.

"Why is the hem of the skirt stained? What kind of mark is that? The collar is also wrinkled. The chest is the most troublesome for this kind of clothing."

Chen Meiren coughed slightly and said, "I tried it on yesterday. I'm not very good at wearing this kind of clothes, so it got messed up."

Chen Li'an outside the door heard Mei Chen's embarrassed voice and felt quite embarrassed himself, so he simply didn't go in.

Chen Li'an, who was doing nothing in his wedding clothes, didn't dare to move around for fear of messing up his clothes, so he just sat on the set and basked in the sun and chatted with Li Shaohong.

The two of them were not talking about the TV series Daming Gong Ci, but about the movie "Pink" that Li Shaohong made a few years ago.

That film was quite good. Li Shaohong also won the Silver Bear Award in Berlin for this film. Chen Li'an chatted with her about this film purely because they had common friends in this film and they could find something to talk about.

Shu Qi helped run Hongfen to international film festivals, and the film also stars He Saifei, who is an old friend of Chen Li'an.

It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time. Shu Qi asked Chen Li'an to shoot a movie in Xiangjiang before, but Chen Li'an rejected it. She asked Chen Li'an to make a gay-themed movie. It would be weird if Chen Li'an agreed to it.

Chen Li'an and Li Shaohong chatted for a while, and then Beauty Chen got it done, and the crew immediately got busy.

The bustling crowd of hundreds of extras on the set looked lively, but in fact they were just petty. Taiping was the most noble princess of the Tang Dynasty, and it was hard to justify her marriage on this card.

However, the conditions for the crew are here. It is unrealistic to have a larger scale. The conditions in the film and television city do not allow it.

Nowadays, the film and television studios in China are all small and insignificant, and they are just waiting for director Cheng Da to make more movies and build more houses.

Chen Li'an thought that this was a bit funny. In two weeks, Gong Li would go to Cannes with Director Cheng. This time, his attempt at Cannes would fail again.

Thinking about it, I feel sorry for Gong Li. She worked with Director Cheng several times and went to Cannes three times, but she never won an award.

Chen Li'an was thinking about going to the Cannes closing ceremony to give Gong Li some comfort, and fly over with the eldest princess to give her a surprise.

I hope it can appease her feelings about the failure of the movie.

The messy thoughts in Chen Li'an's mind were put away when he heard Li Shaohong shouting to get ready. He had to be more involved, otherwise Chen Meiren would not want to play with the stroller at night.

After the wedding ceremony and music started, Wu Zetian and Gaozong appeared together. They personally sent Taiping off to marry. Although this was not in line with etiquette and history, Chen Li'an didn't bother to say anything.

If I really have to find fault, there are so many faults with this show.

Chen Li'an is now playing either Xue Shao or himself. He doesn't have to worry about whether he will fit in or not. He just wants to give Chen Meiren a wedding.

Chen Li'an stood in front of the city tower, watching the bride-to-be escort team slowly walking towards him. He felt really nervous. It would be really scary if this was true.

Covering her red hijab, Chen Meiren could vaguely see Chen Li'an's figure. Even though she knew it was a fake, she still couldn't help but feel happy. Today she will finally marry you.

Several leading actors in the crew and Li Shaohong had all been greeted by Chen Li'an and knew that the first two scenes today would not be too serious, so they did not act with the emotions of the characters in the play.

Even the part that was supposed to kowtow to Wu Zetian and Gaozong was removed.

Gui Yalei did not show Wu Zetian's momentum to force Xue Shao to promise anything. Instead, he really said some caring and happy words to Chen Li'an like an ordinary mother.

After some red tape, Chen Li'an walked up to Beauty Chen, reached out and slowly lifted up her red hijab.

A small face with delicate makeup and a smiling face suddenly appeared in front of Chen Li'an's eyes. Beauty Chen's eyes were really full of happiness and expectation, and it didn't look like she was acting at all.

Chen Li'an took Meiren Chen, surrounded by a group of maids, and helped her get into the car. Then he rode a big horse with a red hydrangea on it and walked toward another set.

Sitting in the car, Beauty Chen was still waiting for the director to shout, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait. She only heard Chen Li'an, who was riding beside her, saying: "This is a complete wedding."

Chen Meiren's eyes suddenly turned red. She raised her hand and gently touched the corners of her eyes. She pursed her lips and looked at Chen Li'an and nodded seriously.

In the high hall that had been decorated for a long time, Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren kowtowed to each other and performed the ceremony of husband and wife.

When Chen Li'an raised his head, Mei Chen's eyes were filled with tears.

Chen Li'an raised his hand and gently brushed the corners of Chen Meiren's eyes and said, "Don't cry, today is a happy day."

Chen Meiren held back tears and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Today is my happiest day."

"I will be happy in the future." Chen Li'an held her hand and said softly.

Chen Meiren nodded lightly, and was led by Chen Li'an out of the set, and got into the car that had been waiting outside with a happy sign on it.

Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren left the film and television city. They were going to complete the last step of the wedding. As for the people on the set, they should eat and drink.

The food and wine at today's wedding banquet are all real. Chen Li'an is not a stingy person. Let them be happy. Even if the wedding is fake, the hearts of the two protagonists are true.

Many people on the set were confused. Is the crew so grand? The food and wine are all real, so there’s no need to continue acting, just start eating!

Is this a filming or a real wedding? Many local people from Wuxi who came to join in the fun and act as extras couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

Li Shaohong and Gui Yalei sat together and ate, and said with some emotion: "Although Chen Li'an is a little...,,,,, he is also very thoughtful."

Gui Yalei said with a smile: "I hope Beauty Chen will like this wedding."

Chen Meiren naturally liked it. Although it was different from her imagination, everything today fulfilled her wish. She and Chen Li'an still had a wedding, and it was the only one!

I will give him some rewards tonight, and also tell him not to take on any dramas with wedding scenes in the future.

Chen Li'an cannot marry other women, not even for acting!

She wants to be the only one!
