my wife is a showman

Chapter 23
When Xu Lang walked over, a few more luxury cars came, besides a young well-known actor, there were also a few old actors, and the group performers came in on foot.

"It seems that today is a big show, Gao Liwei, you take Xu Yaya to play, don't run around, keep your phone unblocked."

"Okay, Uncle Xu, I want to drink juice there."

"Okay, just sit there, your dad will be out soon."

Xu Lang gave Gao Liwei 100 yuan to catch up with the dozens of group performers who came over.

"Excuse me, is Zhang Tou here?"

"I am, what are you doing?" Zhang Tou asked.

"Gao Daqiang introduced it."

"You also went to the Jingying Specialized Class?"

"Yes."

"Have you passed the exam?"

"I think it should be ok, wait for the second round of notification."

"You're quite confident. Come with me. We're going to make a big scene today. The director is in a bad mood. You have to be smart. You play the heroine Liang Hongyu's family soldier. You're in the last row. Just make up the number. No camera. 100 yuan a day."

"Okay, boss."

Xu Lang went to the dressing room with everyone, and the makeup should be that of a soldier who just finished the war.

The makeup artist pressed Xu Lang's head, dabbed some blood on it, and asked him to put on the armor.

In the props warehouse, the stench was overwhelming. Everyone pinched their noses and put on their clothes with disgust. I don't know how long the armor has not been cleaned, and there is an unpleasant fermented smell of sweat.

The name of the movie is "Liang Hongyu". It is a drama with a big heroine, a gathering of big names, and the investment is said to be nearly [-] million.

The early publicity was very hyped, saying that it was going to be a super big IP and become the second national-level heroine like Mulan, a bit imitating Hollywood routines.

The plot summary is also available online. It is based on historical figures, but it is more dramatic and adds many independent plots to improve the image of the heroine and prepare for the sequel.

Liang Hongyu's life is much more dramatic than Hua Mulan's. The family of military generals has fallen into the world of mortals. She is both civil and military, concubine and wife.

If the script is solid enough and handled well, it will definitely be popular, and the theme of women's rise is very popular now.

In the domestic film market, the main audience is actually women, and most men watch with them.

The main creators are star couples, Wu Dalong and Shi Shi. The husband wants to change his career as a director when he gets old, and his wife is the heroine. The actor who plays Han Shizhong is also a powerful actor.

At this time, the assistant director walked in, clapped his hands and said:

"The filming will start in half an hour, so go to the scene early, and I will tell you about the play."

Xu Lang put on his armor, went outside to get some air, and waited for everyone.

There are military generals and civil officials, so it should be a court drama, otherwise these two groups of people will not meet. Considering the historical background, it is estimated that the military generals lead the battle, and the civil officials lead the peace and other common dramas.

"During the system scan, two actors were found to be in poor condition, the civil servant who was memorizing his lines had a cold and hangover, and the soldier's ligament was strained."

Two unfamiliar faces appeared on the system interface. The guy in civil uniform kept drinking cough syrup, with a nervous expression on his face. He lit a cigarette and took a couple of puffs, walking around with his lines.

"Soldiers, like hosts, have no lines and no camera, so they are not worth fighting for."

The system deleted the picture of the soldier.

"The civil servant has a line, and the scene is key. Lock on this target, and ask the host to focus on this person. The system will continue to scan his scenes and lines. Please keep it in your mind, and be ready to replace it at any time."

Xu Lang stared at the screen, really admired this guy, he coughed and took a few puffs of cigarettes, although it could be relieved for a few seconds, but then he would cough even worse.

At this time, the assistant director walked up to the civilian actor, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong with you kid? You only drank so much and ended up like this."

"Brother Shi, I already have a cold."

"Give me some energy. This film is going to be in time for the Spring Festival, and the investor called me back for a reshoot. The boss is feeling depressed. He is very nervous as a director for the first time. Finally, I will give you a chance. Don't cheat me."

"Don't worry, it's okay, there are not many lines, I will remember them all."

"You can't talk about going to the nightclub to pick up girls last night, you know?"

"Well, it won't."

The system starts to prompt again:
"Focus on the blackboard, da da da..."

"A professional actor should always dedicate his best state to the characters and the audience. It is your fault to indulge in life, and it is also your fault to be sick. If you miss an opportunity, you may miss a lifetime."

The soldiers arrived at the scene and stood at the side of Wende Hall, waiting for the heroine to arrive, while the civil servants went in and waited, and the camera microphones inside were ready.

The assistant director spoke to the soldiers with a loudspeaker.

"When the heroine comes over, you follow her in. Don't steal the spotlight, don't make small moves, you want to take a panoramic view, and you won't get a penny for messing around. You will be blacklisted in the future, do you hear me?"

"Understood." Everyone replied in unison.

"The group leader taught them how to walk, the same as before."

In the main creative dressing room, Wu Dalong and Shi Shi are having a meeting with the main actors.

"Because of the rush of time, I didn't have time to have a meeting with you. Generally speaking, the investors are not satisfied with the subsequent Gao Chao scenes, and they made up another 1000 million budget. There are two important scenes that must be re-shot, one is today's Chaotang Wenxi , The second scene is a war scene, so we can go to the grassland for the location, and it will be confirmed at night after the announcement."

The veteran actor who played Qin Hui looked at the new script seriously, nodded and said, "The new script is indeed a bit stronger than the previous one."

"Why don't we start quickly? I have a lot of announcements these days. Louis will have a new product launch conference tonight, and I will be recording "An Actor's Cultivation" tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." The male protagonist said.

"We're going tonight too. Is your company going to sign Tang Sinuo as an endorsement?" Shi Shi asked.

"It should be. We went to cheer her up."

"Newcomers come out in large numbers, and it's not easy to take on the show. We old artists have to work hard." Shi Shi smiled, easing her husband's pressure.

"What are you, a post-80s generation?" The actor who played Song Gaozong laughed.

After saying that, he felt that he had made a mistake again. Wu Dalong was almost fifty.

"Then let's start. Everyone has worked hard. This scene must be wonderful, otherwise it will not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival, and the war scene will have to be done later." Wu Dalong said.

He directed the previous script. Acting and filming are completely different things. Even if you have been acting for a lifetime, it is useless if you don't have the talent for storytelling.

Many stars who debuted as idols may not understand what a movie is after acting for a lifetime. They just do it to make money, non-stop, and no one knows when they will pass the time.

The director does what he says, and the number of viewings is not even as good as that of an audience who loves movies.

But after all, the husband and wife have been famous for many years, their contacts in the circle are good enough, and there are so many well-known actors joining, so it is not a problem to attract investment.

If you lose money and lose money, it will be difficult to find money in the future.

So Wu Dalong was very nervous. Seeing that the director was not happy, the others stopped saying anything.

Xu Lang quickly learned to walk, standing in the last row of generals, the kind where the camera can't even see his face.

He has been reciting his lines with the civilian actor, and he has already memorized them by heart, so he just needs to pay attention to his performance.

This buddy has worked as a group performer for ten years, and finally got an important role. He has a role in confrontation with the big star Shi Shi. Unexpectedly, there is a guy staring at him.

Xu Lang guessed that a normal person wouldn't mess around with this kind of opportunity last night. He probably wanted to have a relationship with the assistant director, but his health didn't live up to expectations.

"Shi Jin, is everyone in place?" Wu Dalong asked.

"Okay, director."

A camera was pushed across from the doorway, ready to take a panoramic view of the emperor going up.

"Song Gaozong is preparing...Action."
