reshape life

At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, the sky just had a layer of hazy light, and Lu Heng was already refreshed. He washed and changed clothes and had breakfast, and then was dragged to the set by his assistant to put on makeup.

Hengdian Film and Television City in October is full of autumn, and you can see fallen leaves and dead grass dyed golden yellow everywhere dancing wantonly by the swirling autumn wind.On the set, only Fang Kaizhi and a few old actors who used to get up early were sitting in front of the monitor and chatting about the scene.

The temperature in the morning is chilly, and the whistling cold wind is blowing vigorously, unscrupulously getting into people's collars and sleeves, making people shiver and feel cold.Lu Heng carried a bucket of hot soy milk that he had just ordered from the restaurant, and walked slowly in front of Director Fang and a few old actors, shook the thermos bucket in his hand with a smile, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The freshly squeezed pure Soy milk, how about some drink?"

"Bring me a bowl." Fang Kaizhi was not polite, took the thermos from Lu Heng's hand, poured out a bowl and drank it all, the thick soy milk was hot and a little bit hot, hey He snorted and drank a large bowl, and a thin layer of sweat broke out happily, and his whole body immediately became warm from the inside out.

Fang Dao sighed contentedly, and exhaled white hot air from his mouth, like a fairy swallowing clouds and fog. This taste is more joyful than a cigarette after a meal.The only fly in the ointment is that there is only soy milk, no soy juice.A sentence of emotion attracted the approval of a certain Yanjing veteran who was also drinking soy milk.

Lu Heng, however, was indifferent to the director's respect for Yanjing's local flavor. Even though he had stayed in Yanjing for so many years in his past and present lives, he still couldn't accept the indescribable taste of soybean juice. Fortunately, Lu Heng was not fighting alone. Several old actors think that soy milk is very good.

It is ten thousand times stronger than soybean juice.

A group of middle-aged and elderly people started a fierce teasing about which one is more delicious, soy milk or soy juice, but Lu Heng entered the dressing room without hesitation, and the chief makeup artist of the crew, Sister Fang, came up with her little apprentice. , personally put on Lu Heng's makeup, and the stylist couldn't help admiring Lu Heng when he combed Lu Heng's hair, saying that she had never seen such an approachable and dedicated superstar Lu Heng, who was so young and had such a high box office appeal, and was willing to work hard Kung fu, rushing to the set to rehearse so early every day, unlike some popular fried chickens, who simply regard being late and leaving early to play big names as the right of the leading actor.

Lu Heng didn't know who the stylist was insinuating about, so he kept smiling and pretended he didn't hear it.

Just halfway through the makeup, the door of the dressing room slammed, and William Stephenson and Kelly Brut walked in surrounded by two assistants.

Seeing Lu Heng sitting in front of the dressing table, having changed into costumes, done his hairstyle and even painted his makeup, William Stephenson said apologetically, "I'm so sorry Lu, I'm late."

Last night, he was the one who asked Lu Heng to rehearse the next morning, but after waking up, he went to knock on Lu Heng's door and didn't knock, only to find out that Lu Heng left early again.

William Stephenson was so anxious that he didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he asked his assistant to go to the restaurant to ask for a sandwich and a cup of coffee to bring out, and took a bite in the nanny's car.Then at the gate of the film and television city, I met Kelly Brutt, who also rushed over early, and the two got together.

William Stephenson nodded to the makeup and stylists in the dressing room as a greeting. While sitting down in front of the dressing table next to Lu Heng, he took his script from his assistant. The colored sticky notes have been patched a lot, and it is not difficult to see that William Stephenson also put a lot of effort into studying the script.

Lu Heng always likes to work with such serious actors, and William's movements were a little hasty, so he couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, it's [-]:[-], and today's first scene is at [-] o'clock. An hour is enough for our rehearsal."

Kelly Blunt is very envious of William Stephenson's opportunity to be close to the water.It's a pity that she is a girl, and the dressing room is on the other side. Kelly came here just to say hello to Lu Heng, and had to go back to her own dressing room to put on makeup. After finishing her makeup, she went to meet Lu Heng and William on the set.

For Kelly Blunt, who sincerely wants to get close to her idol, this is really a very regrettable thing.

Lu Heng and William Stephenson took advantage of the makeup time to double-check the scenes to be filmed today.During the period, Director Fang Kaizhi was also invited by Lu Heng. A director and two main actors worked in the dressing room for a long time, all talking about how to shoot the next scene to better exaggerate the atmosphere.

"When I first received the script, I thought that the scene where Danny and Chen came to China after the war should show Danny's maturity and joy after going through the war. Arrival. He is willing to travel across the ocean with his best friend to come to his hometown, and see with his own eyes the mysterious ancient oriental country that raised his friend..."

In order to express his understanding of the character, William Stephenson used a lot of adjectives in one breath, then changed the topic, and said: "But I have thought about it carefully these days. In fact, this scene is mainly Chen's fantasy. On the battlefield full of gunfire, he fantasized that he brought his friends back to China after the war, so in this paragraph, Danny in Chen's fantasy should be high-spirited, just like the first time they met, no, not the first time The first time we met, it was the pure happiness in Chen's fantasy. So in this scene, I should be more cheerful, more sunny, less burdened, and the most perfect side..."

Halfway through William's speech, Kelly Brutt, who was in a hurry to put on her makeup, also slipped in. Listening to William's analysis, she felt greatly benefited.

Although Fang Kaizhi has been tossing with the screenwriter team about the script of "Rejuvenation", his main energy is on the important plot and the leading actor, and he has not cared about the performance of other supporting actors. He originally planned to talk about it before filming started. Speaking of plays, I didn't expect William to hold the script and ponder for a few days, but he was quite enlightened.

This made Fang Kaizhi very satisfied.He praised William without hesitation, and when Lu Heng and William played against each other, he pointed out some details that were emotionally exaggerated and the lines were not well expressed. While muttering a few words, Director Fang smiled slightly, explained a few words before getting up and leaving.

Lu Heng and Kelly Brutt have been sitting in the dressing room to accompany William in the show, until William also finished his makeup, and everyone left the dressing room and rushed to the set.

As soon as I entered the studio, I heard a commotion.It turned out that an old friend of Director Fang came to visit the class, and happened to meet Wei Linxuan who also came to visit Lu Heng on the plane.One of the two is an investor of the film crew, and the other is the young boss of the production company of the film crew.

And Wei Linxuan followed the good habit of giving away food when visiting the crew. When he got off the plane, he asked his assistant to buy a lot of snacks, hot drinks and snacks to buy the stomachs of the crew members. I brought a thermos bucket of soybean juice and a lot of Daoxiang village snacks to Fang Kaizhi and several old Yanjing actors in the crew.With a wave of his hand, the investor directly reserved a few tables at the five-star hotel opposite the film and television city, and treated the crew to a big meal.Under the influence of spending a lot of money on delicious food, the arrival of the two people was warmly welcomed by the crew members. The noise heard by Lu Heng and the others was the sound of everyone surrounding Wei Linxuan and the investor to express their thanks.

Seeing Lu Heng approaching, Fang Kaizhi showed Lu Heng the thermos bucket that Wei Linxuan gave him, and asked Lu Heng with a smile if he would like a bowl of soybean juice. Lu Heng felt that he was far away. I could smell the sour smell, and the face that was rippling when I saw Wei Linxuan immediately dimmed.

Standing beside the investor, the little newcomer who hugged the investor's arm like a little bird hugged him sweetly smiled at Lu Heng, and called out "cousin" coquettishly. Lu Heng was shocked.

Wei Linxuan glanced at the newcomer calmly, then looked at Lu Heng, raised his eyebrows jokingly and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you find such a cute and beautiful little cousin for me?" ?”

Hearing the words, the little newcomer pretended not to obey, twisted her slender waist, stomped her feet shyly, and said coquettishly at Wei Linxuan: "Mr. Wei, you are so annoying. He played Chen Zhongbai's cousin in "Return to Spring". That’s why I’ve always called him Cousin Lu.”

This relationship climbs...

Wei Linxuan smiled again.

Fang Kaizhi glared at his old friend with some embarrassment and a headache.This old friend of his has been with him for more than thirty years. He is righteous, generous, and generous. He is good everywhere, but the older he is, the more romantic he is.When I was young, I had a family, a business, a son and a daughter, and I still had some scruples about face. A few years ago, my wife got cancer and disappeared, and the children also started their own families. He was left as an old bachelor, and he completely let himself go.Especially after stepping into the entertainment circle as an investor by chance, this crop of "goddaughters" has never stopped.

Director Fang is going to shoot "Rejuvenation" this time, because of the subject matter, a large investment is required.Many investors are optimistic about the box office appeal of several leading actors such as Director Fang and Lu Heng. They want to invest but are very greedy. They always want to take advantage of convenience to stuff people into the crew.

Of course, Director Fang must strictly control the quality of the film.At the end of the talk, many investors collapsed and almost failed to start the film on time. At the critical moment, this old friend volunteered to invest [-] million yuan, and the only request was to reserve a role for his goddaughter in the movie.And the requirements are not high, just assign a character who can show his face and speak a few lines.

Director Fang could not refuse the old friend's investment and affection, no matter what it was for.In the end, I picked and picked, and left the role of "little cousin" for the goddaughter.In the movie, it is the niece of the heroine Chen Zhongbai’s mother’s family. Because of the downfall of the family, she defected to the Chen family since she was a child. She has always admired Chen Zhongbai’s cousin. Studying in country Y has never responded to this relationship.

This character only appears twice in the entire movie, and his lines total twelve sentences.Originally it was a special role, even if Director Fang didn't arrange it for an old friend's "goddaughter", he would only hand it over to the casting director to select from among the extras in Hengdian.Now as a favor, the old friend with a clear heart is naturally satisfied. Only the "goddaughter" has a slight criticism of the role's too little role. Fortunately, this girl is quite clear, and she knows how much she weighs. How many times, nothing happened during the filming in the crew.

The only thing I like is probably casual friendship, calling one brother and another sister, and even calling the actress who played Chen Zhongbai's mother in the movie Auntie directly. Although the actress is not well-known outside the circle, but In the circle, he is a very experienced and well-connected veteran actor. He has not seen any kind of person for many years. He looks at the little girl's innocence with cold eyes and does not expose it. He is still very affectionate. My niece, she has done a full job of the grandeur of an old man supporting a newcomer.

With such a Zhenshan Tai Sui as a role model, the rest of the crew tacitly agreed not to care about this girl, allowing her to scream, but it seemed that the whole crew was harmonious and affectionate.

Seeing this, Lu Heng and William naturally had no choice but to follow the crowd.

Wei Linxuan also knew this, so he fell down after making a sour joke.

That "goddaughter" usually likes to get in front of Lu Heng under the pretense of being in the drama, flirting and bumping, shy and pure like a girlish bunny.Now, in front of her godfather, naturally she wouldn't do such an unpleasant thing so thoughtlessly.The whole person is like an oriole that has just opened its voice in spring, chattering around her godfather who is the investor of the crew, with an innocent and pure appearance, which fits perfectly with the image of the cousin set in the movie.

Even director Fang Kaizhi couldn't help but praise "Young people are awesome", no matter how scheming the little girl is, just for this acting skill, it is estimated that the future will not be wrong.
