Electric Phantom [Entertainment]

Scorching sun.

In the outskirts of a small city near Yangcheng, surrounded by mountains and water, there is a red brick villa hidden in a large litchi garden.

Many cars, RVs, cars, and trucks were parked in the front yard, all in order.

The staff in the hospital came and went, each performing their duties, busy in an orderly manner.

The camera crew is adjusting the track, and several cameras on the ground are shooting at the two actors, with cranes and radios above their heads.

There is a group of people behind the monitor on the other side.Director, assistant director, scene manager, coordinator, and assistants to actors and stars...

Everyone is waiting for the battle, and their spirits are tense. For no other reason, this shot has been NG too many times.

At two o'clock in the hot summer afternoon, the hot air enveloped the crowd like an invisible steamer, making them suffocating.

The male and female protagonists are acting, the male protagonist has delicate features, and the female protagonist has gorgeous eyebrows and eyes. Both of them are popular traffic stars. The male is wearing a light blue shirt and beige-colored trousers, and the female is wearing a white skirt. The pictures together are very eye-catching, and it takes a lot of memory when acting.

"1 mirror 32 time!"

"Action!"

This is already number 32...

"Brother Feng, I don't believe it, don't you have any feelings for her?"

"Yuanyuan, I really don't like her. I only have you in my heart, and you will always be the only one."

"Really? Then you si..."

"Okay, okay, I swear," the actor put his arms around the actress's shoulders, looked down into her eyes, and said softly, "Do you remember the first time we met? It was a rainy day, and I never When you come out of the movie theater, you are holding a... red... red umbrella..."

"You are holding a red umbrella, I saw you at first sight in the crowd, and I can't forget you since then..."

Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was a little distance away from the group of people beside the monitor, silently answered his lines, and at the same time secretly rolled his eyes.

The male actor is not from a major, so it is certain that his lines are poor, but he has been NG dozens of times, so he should remember such a short line, right?There are also actresses, after all, they also graduated from Beiying, isn't this a bad wording?Is this sheep sound natural or intentional?

These two people can only look at it, but cannot speak.

Not an actor at all, but a star at most.

……

"stop!"

"..." The tense crowd suddenly relaxed, and it seemed that a sigh of hatred could be heard in the stuffy air.

A head protruded from behind the monitor, with brown hair and a shining diamond earring. The young male director with a famous brand all over his body shouted, and then jumped out. He looked at them with his head tilted, and said loudly: "Come here, hero, come here!"

"Protagonist, are you expressing your heart, or are you reciting aloud? You must have feelings! You are a man in love, and you must have the characteristics and emotions of a man in love!"

The male protagonist is about 1.8 meters tall, tall and handsome, but he seems to be a bit shorter in front of a young director of the same height, obsequious, a drop of sweat rolled down his eyebrows, he raised his hand to wipe it, and was in a hurry.

The heroine took a step back and stood behind the director. Her assistants were on the left and right. One took a small fan to blow her air, and the other took a bottle of cold mineral water, unscrewed it and handed it to her.

The actress surnamed Zou has a very sweet name, Zou Yirui, is the heroine of this movie. She just graduated and became popular after acting in a relatively popular IP TV series. She can act in this movie, thanks to her It's not about strength, it's because the director is her current boyfriend.

So when the director was talking to the leading actor, she took a sip of water leisurely and moved her face closer. The makeup artist who had been waiting by the side took a powder puff and gently patted on both sides of her nose.

"Director Wei, how is my performance?" She waited for the director to finish speaking, then glanced over at her.She has delicate features, thin skin, long neck, wasp waist and long legs, and she is very eye-catching even in the entertainment circle where beauties come out.

"Great, let's act like this." The director smiled at her and squeezed her shoulder.

Obviously the two of them didn't perform very well, but the difference in treatment was too obvious. All the crew members looked familiar and familiar, and glanced at the director at Xiaoyuan, took a deep breath, and there was someone next to him. He secretly tugged at her, and she held the breath in her chest.

"1 mirror 33 times, start!"

The male lead hadn't adjusted his mood yet, and his expression was uneasy. When the filming resumed, he couldn't immediately immerse himself in the character's emotions. He stayed in place for a few seconds before stuttering his lines.

The result is not as good as the last one, and this one is yellow again.

The onlookers sighed softly again, and the heroine let out a "tch", "I don't want to act anymore..."

The young Director Wei scratched his head and sighed, "Can you have some snacks, the hero?"

The air froze for a moment.

The assistant director Chen Yunxiu stepped out in time and said, "Okay, okay, I think everyone is tired, let's take a rest for now."

The assistant director is an unremarkable middle-aged man, probably in his early forties, wearing a pair of glasses, gray hair that is a little prematurely aging, a little hunched, his voice is quiet, but somehow convincing.

Anyone who recognizes him knows that he is not some unknown person, but a well-known director who is famous for making literary films and has won many awards, and here he actually serves as the assistant director for this young Director Wei.

It's incredible.

What's even more incredible is that no one in the crew thought it was strange, except Xiang Xiaoyuan.

This young director Wei is just an idiot in Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes.

The gold and jade are the idiots in it.

He looks good, even a bit more handsome than the leading actor, but he really doesn't have any talent as a director, he can't guide the actors to act, but it will affect the performance of the actors.

This script is the story of a pair of separated and reunited sisters. The younger sister lived with her mother in the south since she was a child. She is extremely weak and suffers from chronic kidney failure.In order to treat her illness, the mother searched for kidney sources everywhere, and found the eldest daughter who had been separated many years ago.

My sister was abducted by human traffickers. She lived a bumpy life since she was a child. She didn't receive much education. She has been abducted secretly and has been in the police station several times.The family background of the mother and the younger sister is far superior to that of the elder sister. The reunion of the three is not a happy event. There is a third love in the blood relationship, and there is even more hatred and resentment. Especially in the later period, the younger sister and the older sister have a good impression of a man at the same time, and the contradiction has reached vertex.

Zou Yirui played the younger sister, and Xiang Xiaoyuan played the older sister.

Because Zou Yirui's schedule is relatively tight, so she got tired and filmed her scenes first, but they filmed several scenes between her and the male lead for two days, and they were still stuck in the second scene. The progress was far behind expectations, but The director wasn't in a hurry at all, and didn't even help the two actors' performances.

Although the heroine lives in the south, she doesn't have to use a Taiwanese accent to speak her lines, right?And the entire crew knows that the heroine is your girlfriend, but you can't be so partial, right?

The quality of the movie doesn't matter at all?What kind of director is this?

"Okay, let's take a break. There's mung bean paste, soda, ice, and fruit. Everyone, go and rest. We'll come back later." Bring your own money to make movies.He is the director and he is the producer.

Therefore, the living conditions of the film crew were really not to be chosen. The villa they lived in was said to be his family’s private property. The three meals of the film crew were provided by dedicated chefs. There were fruits and desserts, and a doctor accompanied the filming crew.

Xiang Xiaoyuan doesn't like this kind of thing very much. She is here to film a movie, not on vacation. After waiting for two days, she has already memorized the script by heart. Not only her lines, but also the lines of other people are familiar. Didn't wait for her part.The play has no quality, is procrastinated, and lacks professionalism. When will it be her turn?

At this time, an iced Nongfu Spring was handed over, "Here, it's hot, garden, drink water."

She took the water, turned around and left, the person next to her caught up with her, "Yuan'er, Yuan..."

The person who called her was an assistant. A pair of round glasses covered his round eyes. His surname was Cai. He had curly hair brought from his mother's womb. He was a few centimeters taller than Xiaoyuan, catching up with her footsteps.

The two gradually walked out of the set.

"Caijuan, I know what you're going to say. I finally got a good role, and I want to cherish it!" Xiaoyuan, with a slender figure and fast pace, quickly left him behind, "Look at me from the beginning to the end. Didn't say anything, right?"

"But you have also seen how outrageous this crew is!"

Vegetable rolls is his nickname, he hastened a few steps, took the mineral water bottle from her hand, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.

Xiaoyuan glanced at him, took it, and took a sip.

There is a garden in the villa. They walked along the pond. There was an old banyan tree beside the pond. The shadow of the tree swayed on the slightly wrinkled lake, and there seemed to be a cool breeze coming.

Xiaoyuan wore a black shoulder-length skirt, which was the costume in the play. She had a scene in the morning, and she put on makeup at seven o'clock. She hasn't been filmed until now, and she probably won't be able to shoot today.

She just sat there.

Caijuan pushed down his glasses, blinked his eyes, "Yuaner, if you really don't want to, we won't shoot, don't be offended."

Xiaoyuan glanced at him when he heard the words, "You provoked me again, didn't you sign the contract?"

Naijuan thought inwardly, "It's as if you haven't signed a contract and you can't act if you don't like it." He said with a smile, "Look, you like this role too, and the salary is really good. Knowing that we have been very difficult recently, and brother Shi is not in good health, sister... we really can't be too picky!"

Xiaoyuan paused for a moment, then said nothing.

Nai Juan sighed, walked to her side, and sat down, "The production team is not that unreliable. You see, the assistant director is Chen Yunxiu, the photography team leader is Zhu Qinghong, and the artist is Cao Ping. They are all top-notch crew members." Yes, as you know, they are all people who have won many awards, that is, the director..."

"Well, yes, what is the background of this director?"

"His surname is Wei."

"and then?"

"Yuaner," Cai Juan was a little speechless, "Besides the script, you should pay more attention to other things."

"I know that Wei Jiabao made a film "XX Into the Rivers and Lakes" last year, and the box office was quite high. He only has one movie, and there is nothing else worth paying attention to!"

"Wait, you said that, give me the phone, I remember the core creator of that movie..." Xiaoyuan took the phone and checked it on Douban, "It really is this team..."

Although "XX Into the Rivers and Lakes" is a commercial comedy film, the production team is very strong, especially the script is tailor-made by a gold medal screenwriter. From the script, persuasion, and production are all first-class.

The two theme songs in the movie were also produced by big names in the industry. They invited fresh meat and powerful veteran singers to sing, and they were very popular.

The film was an instant hit from the pre-production, to the setting, to the post-production, to the release, and the name Wei Jiabao also became a blockbuster.

It's better to be famous than to meet, it's actually an idiot.

Just this surname is a bit special, but it is also easy to recognize.

In recent decades, the film and television industry has developed vigorously. Large and small entertainment companies, film and television companies, and economic companies have sprung up and have reached the stage of saturation.The companies of the three major domestic giants are all developing in a variety of film and television songs. Compared with the two giants Warner Films and Boyi Brothers, Luhua Film and Television is a very young new giant. It belongs to Luhua Group, which is a domestic real estate company. To make a fortune, there are four major business groups, business management group, cultural medical care, real estate and investment group.

The current president with the most shares is Wei Zhuang. About ten years ago, he focused on the cultural group, and took charge of it by himself, mainly developing the film and television industry and medical care. The closed domestic and foreign film companies have acquired many theaters and developed their own film and television cities and theaters. The momentum of development is rapid, and the market value quickly leapt to the other two giants.

However, in the past two years, Lu Huacai began to expand his agency business, from artistes to screenwriters and directors, as long as they were fancy, they would all be included under their command with their strong funds.

"Wei Zhuang, Wei Jiabao, no wonder..." Xiang Xiaoyuan muttered.

No wonder such an idiot can have such a good team, no wonder such a bad hero and heroine are praised, but she wants to play a supporting role...

On the other side, Chen Yunxiu and Wei Jiabao were discussing, "Director Wei, let me skip the hero and heroine scene first, let him find out how he feels, let Xiao Yuan and Miss Zou come for the next scene."

Chen Yunxiu speaks very skillfully.

The heroine, Zou Yirui, has hooked up with Wei Jiabao, and has already signed under the banner of Luhua. She is a member of her own company and the girlfriend of Director Wei, so it is difficult to directly evaluate her acting skills, and the male protagonist is an artist from a studio under Boyi. , For the sake of the quality of the film, he should have directed it, but he understands the habit of this director Wei, it is not good for others to overstep his position, at least until he finishes directing, others can step forward to "remind", "Supplementary Supplement".

"Xiaoyuan? Who?" Wei Jiabao raised his eyebrows, and found a little familiarity in Chen Yunxiu's tone. After thinking about it, he suddenly said, "Oh, it's the second female lead you've taken a fancy to, right?"

"Yes, her debut film is "Xiao Wen", which she collaborated with Director He. She played the only female role in it, and was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Palme d'Or, one of the three major European film festivals."

"Oh, sounds good, which company?"

"As far as I know, she doesn't seem to have signed any company, and opened a small studio by herself."

"Hey, interesting, what does it look like?"

"...She was here just now..."

"I didn't pay attention, okay, I'll go over and tell Xiaorui, after she rests, let's take pictures of them first."

Caijuan sighed slightly, there were only three people in their studio.When Sister Xiaoyuan graduated from Huaxi, several companies also took a fancy to her and wanted to sign a contract with her, but they were all rejected by Brother Zhishi.

To be honest, there are also good companies, but none of them are suitable for Miss Xiaoyuan. She is a drama idiot at best. She just wants to make good scripts and movies. At worst, she is stubborn, stubborn, and stubborn.

Among several signing offers, the best one was from Jiaxing Entertainment, and the condition they gave was a B-level signing.

The term of the contract is eight years. All brokerage contracts, film and television, commercial performances, and advertisements are all [-]% to [-]%. Artists are [-]% and companies are [-]%.Every year, there will be at least one movie that is less than two episodes, and more than three TV dramas, and the number is not limited.From the third year, it is possible to have a lot of film and television resources.In addition, she has almost no right to participate in the decision-making of the work, that is to say, she cannot veto the book selected by the company for you, and she cannot choose the script and character she likes. There is no room for negotiation on this point.

Brother Zhishi is Xiaoyuan's biological brother, and he knows her personality best. Of course, he is reluctant to let her sign such a contract, so they have to open their own studio. The small studio has limited resources and has a difficult start.

Xiaoyuan’s famous work has a high starting point, but the subject matter is sensitive. It took a year and a half from the competition in Europe to get the dragon label. It is a low-cost literary film, and the release schedule is not good, so it hits a popular movie. There are few films in the lineup, and the box office is pitifully low in the end.

Due to various reasons, even though Xiaoyuan's acting skills in the movie "Xiaowen" are very eye-catching, there is no chance to be familiar to the public at all, and only a small number of people in the industry have a little impression of her name, and they don't recognize her at all. looks like.

Then he acted in a movie, and this time his luck was also bad. The main creator of the same crew was exposed to a scandal during the publicity period, which directly caused his part to be cut, and Xiaoyuan, who had the most scenes with him, was also affected.

So far, she has become more cautious and picky. Originally, the quality of the books that their studio can get is not high, and Xiaoyuan is still very picky. She doesn't act in TV dramas, brainless commercial films, and comedy themes that she doesn't like, etc. Wait, even once, she was dissatisfied with the director and screenwriter for changing the play without authorization, so she simply broke the contract and refused to act.

As a result, the high and the low were not enough, gradually delayed, and the actual studio had already been unable to make ends meet.

This time, the script still relied on the help of the assistant director.The first draft of the script was written about twins, that is, the heroine Zou Yirui was required to play two roles. After the filming started, I found that Zou Yirui was too difficult to play, so I changed it to two sisters, and temporarily needed an actress to save the scene.Brother Zhishi called Chen Yunxiu after he got the news. Chen Yunxiu personally interviewed Xiang Xiaoyuan and was very satisfied with her, so he gave her the role.

"I hope this little ancestor can finish this script smoothly, and don't make any more fools." Thinking of all the past, Naijuan almost made the sign of the cross on his chest and prayed.
