Play bone

If the leading actor is absent, the filming progress of the film will inevitably be delayed.And this delay is like hearing the sound of money being thrown into the water.

Rent needs to be paid for props as small as cabinets, tables and chairs, as large as some photographic equipment and vehicles; food and accommodation for staff is also a large expense; plus all kinds of other things, a rough calculation of more than 20 per day will definitely not be able to run away .If all the staff shut down to work, the producer Lu Dejian's heart might not be able to bear it.

So in the next three days, an urgent brainstorm broke out in the crew.The established shooting sequence was completely overturned. Group A and Group B were temporarily merged, and all the scenes in which Shen Xingxuan participated were suppressed. Priority was given to shooting the scenes of Lu Li and the first and second females, and the redundant personnel temporarily left the group to wait for work.

At the same time, the crew also carried out a large-scale investigation of hidden dangers in units of departments, and the Wia team even had a major change of staff.After about a week of such tossing, the new order was established and the shooting gradually returned to the right track.

But even if the order on the surface is stable, people's hearts are still far from peaceful.

The unexpected absence of the leading actor obviously had a big impact on the morale of the crew.Some people began to lower their expectations for this drama, and they couldn't do things with much energy; on the other hand, all kinds of superstition and rumors were rampant.

Some people say that the site selection of New Tang City is unclean, and it is too dark; some people say that the opening ceremony was not done well, which offended the Lord of the Land;

Feudal superstition is certainly nonsensical, but there are not a few people in the entertainment circle who follow it.Especially for the actors, the random ups and downs of their star journey made them unable to help but want to find a reasonable explanation, so the magicians and liars took advantage of it.

Among the hundreds of people in the crew, the female number one, Zhao Lemei, may be the most "pious".After Shen Xingxuan's accident, she hung a gossip mirror outside her hotel room door, and the room was covered with yellow talismans.Before starting filming every day, we must worship the four-faced gods and Buddhas with three sticks of incense, and all three meals have been changed to vegetarian.

If these daily superstitions are harmless, her resistance to martial arts made filming difficult.

Regardless of whether Wia is needed or not, as long as there is a physical confrontation, Zhao Lemei will always ask for a stand-in.Some of Wu Xing's well-designed panoramic shots have therefore become impossible tasks.

Meng Baijin wanted to get angry several times, but he was worried about not being too troublesome on the cusp of the storm.The director team held a few more closed-door meetings, and decided to suspend the filming of the martial arts part and bring up the literary drama first, hoping to temporarily ease the tense atmosphere in the group.

At the same time, the producer, Lu Dejian, also had several private exchanges with Lu Li.In one of the more in-depth conversations, Lu Dejian even lamented that the larger the filming team, the more the relationship between the director and other employees is like the leaders and employees of an ordinary company.Being an employee is hard work, but being a leader is not easy.

"The Analects of Confucius" says: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If they are close, they will not be inferior, and if they are far away, they will complain—in fact, people in the world are like this.If you treat the employees under your hands, if you are too close, you will lose your prestige, and if you are too alienated, you will not be able to generate cohesion.

So there are some things that directors and producers are not suitable for, but actors can do.

Lu Li was not stupid, he understood the reason why Lu Dejian wanted to talk to him - once Shen Xing chose to leave, he was the core actor of the crew, and with a management background, he naturally hoped that the film could go on smoothly.It is perfect for him to play the role of middleman.

Even though Shen Xingxuan had asked him to help the director stabilize people's hearts, Lu Li knew that his qualifications were still inexperienced, and rashly judging others would only make him appear reckless and ignorant of the rules.

It is better to stand than to sit.To solve the doubts in other people's hearts, it may be the most correct choice to do it yourself.

From that day on, Lu Li paid more and more attention to building a good relationship with the other actors - in fact, this is not a difficult task in the crew where the material and spiritual life is relatively scarce.

His first trick was to learn from Shen Xingze's previous tricks, buying various imported snacks in boxes and giving them to crew members, especially actresses; in addition, inviting dinner and supper is also a basic dish, as long as it is around Qincheng Famous restaurants have basically been swept away; as for actors, meeting to play basketball or go to the gym is a good way to win affection.There is also a very famous massage clinic in Qincheng, which is also found by Lu Li every now and then to relax everyone's muscles and bones.

Lu Li's relationship in the entertainment industry is not yet complicated - in other words, his name is not yet on the spider web of love between men and women, grievances and hatred.The vast majority of people in the crew still know him from the Silver Bear and his confusing relationship with Xingying.But almost everyone can be sure that his future must be smooth.

Now, such a young dark horse has taken the initiative to come together to make a good relationship-of course it is the best thing.Between coming and going, the crew seemed to form an increasingly tight small group around him.And the centripetal force created by this kind of hard work began to gradually balance the centrifugal force that the accident brought to the crew.

The time is almost ripe, Lu Li and Meng Baijin have a discussion, and they can consider rescheduling the martial arts show.

----------

The fine-tuned shooting schedule and daily work schedule were quickly distributed.The first three days were spent fighting between Lu Li and Wu Xing.Move and dodge, jump over the eaves and walls, nothing that should be left behind.Meng Baijin deliberately asked him if he needed a substitute, but he shook his head and declined.

At the same time, even though they didn't have to participate in the fight, Zhao Lemei and the second female lead happened to need to participate in the whole process of the two-day scene, which happened to allow them to watch Lu Li's performance from the sidelines.

After Shen Xingxuan's accident, the crew's safety protection work became more and more thorough.After three days, all the shots were completed beautifully with high quality, and of course there was no problem with Wia.

Then on the fourth day, the role of Lu Li was to protect Zhao Lemei and the female No. [-], and fight with the Japanese slave assassins.According to the plot design, in addition to the basic fighting movements on the ground, the female number two will also have a shot of Wia being hugged by Lu Li and jumping from a high place.

One early in the morning, the makeup and hair of the female number two were all done. Before putting on the costumes, someone brought the wia clothes——Meng Baijin had told the staff in advance that if the actors resisted, they would immediately take her out and have a good time. communicate.Immediately afterwards, five or six people, including the director, assistant director, Wu Xing, and Lu Li, were waiting outside the dressing room of the studio.

After waiting for a while, the door of the dressing room finally opened, and the female number two, who had already put on her wig and costume, was taken aback by this group of stern-looking elders.

It seems that Lu Li's soft policy and setting an example have helped a little.After the atmosphere of the crew had reached a trough, it finally began to slowly pick up.A few days later, on the crew visit day, Meng Baijin arranged for Zhao Lemei's role in Wia very cunningly.So the last one who was reluctant was also driven away.Of course, the rewards are also plentiful - on that day, the media focused on "devotion to work, not fearing the shadows" and praised Zhao Lemei a lot.

Overcoming the adverse effects of accidents and superstitions, the work of the crew is recovering.Lu Li's daily life quickly returned to the two focuses of "filming" and "Shen Xing".

Shen Xingfei had surgery on the fifth day after he arrived in Shanghai, and was hospitalized for a week according to the doctor's orders.During this time, Lu Li basically could only contact An Huawen to understand the situation.

According to An Huawen, Shen Xingze's hand injury is basically not a problem, and he will definitely recover in time.The real problem lies in the heart—all sizes and sizes have been checked, and the coronary angiography shows no abnormality, and there is no reasonable explanation for it from a physiological point of view.As for the psychological aspect, An Huawen said that Shen Xingze's therapist is currently having a meeting in Europe, and will come to Shanghai once he returns to China.

So far, it seems that all Lu Li can do is wait.

The third week after the accident was the May Day holiday, and the crew gave everyone about two days off.Lu Li had already booked his flight ticket, and he couldn't wait to fly to Shanghai on the evening of April 4th.After landing, the special car of the Stars Shanghai branch took him directly to Shen Xingxuan's apartment in Shanghai.

Because of stitches removal, follow-up visits, and various other reasons, Shen Xingze stayed in Shanghai to recuperate after the operation.He lives in a sky-high priced penthouse apartment. Looking out from the large floor-to-ceiling windows, he can see the spectacular night view across the Huangpu River.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot compare to the person who sent it to your door.

Knowing in advance that there is a helper in Shen Xingxuan's family, Lu Li did not show too much intimacy.The two greeted and hugged like ordinary friends meeting, and then entered the study together.

After his aunt came in to pour the tea, Shen Xing chose to lock the door, turned around and rushed towards Lu Li.Lu Li was worried about his hand at first, but he couldn't bear the longing for a while, and soon let him roll into a ball.

The things that should be communicated and paid attention to are actually communicated every day, and there is no need to rush to spoil the scenery at this time.The two of them held each other head to neck for quite a while, until Shen Xingxuan used his strange force to hug Lu Li to the desk with one hand and then pulled his trouser button. Claw.

"...The walls have ears, I said, can't you wait until night?"

Before Shen Xingxuan could answer, he turned his head to look at the thing touching his buttocks——Although it was during the recuperation period, Shen Xingxuan's workload did not seem to be short at all. There was a laptop on the desk, "Calyx Xianghui" , a few folders, and bound files.

In addition, there was a green paper bag in the corner of the desk that Lu Li was particularly concerned about.

"Has the psychiatrist been here?"

"Ah."

Shen Xingxuan's eyes also fell on the paper bag, as if feeling a little disappointed.

"I just left the afternoon before yesterday. I thought you were coming today, so I planned to tell you in person."

Lu Li knew Shen Xingxuan's character very well - anything that was not informed immediately on the same day, but instead found various reasons to delay, is probably not a good thing.He suddenly became nervous, almost pressing to know the conclusion of the diagnosis.

Unable to resist him, Shen Xingze signaled Lu Li to sit back on the sofa with him, and first told him that nothing bad happened, and told him not to panic.Then he coughed lightly, and said the conclusion first.

"Doctors suspect that I may have PTSD."

"...What kind of disease is that? Is it serious?"

"Post-traumatic stress disorder, a psychological disorder, but it can also have some physical impact."

"Trauma? Is it because of me?"

This was the first answer Lu Li could think of, followed by an uncontrollable sense of guilt.

"...Is my car accident that year caused you a psychological shadow, so you have psychological problems?"

"Don't think too much, it's none of your business."

Shen Xing chose to stretch his arms towards the back of the sofa that Lu Li was leaning on, so that he could unconsciously pull her into his arms little by little.

"My heart problems didn't start when you got into a car accident. Don't blame yourself for everything."

"Then...could it be the time Goudan changed the door code? It was also snowing that day, didn't you also have a heart attack?"

"No. But it was pretty close."

Shen Xingze put his arms around Lu Li's shoulders: "The doctor said that my heart problem is probably a symptom that appeared after receiving psychological intervention."
