When the director became popular in the entertainment industry

Early in the morning, after bidding farewell to Lou He'an reluctantly, Bai Congzhen first went to the hotel rented by the film crew to put his luggage.

Because of the location and funds, the hotel is just an ordinary type, but it is clean and standardized.The main creative staff of the crew were divided into big bed rooms, Bai Congzhen was on the same floor as the main staff, and the actors were on the floor below them.

After putting away his luggage, Bai Congzhen called Xu Qingsong and Guan Jingzhou to see the venue.When I went downstairs, I happened to run into Lu Rongmo who came alone.

Seeing them, Lu Rongmo greeted them politely with a smile: "Director Xu, Assistant Director, Teacher Zhizhou, hello."

Bai Congzhen nodded.He is still very optimistic about this actor, seeing him, he couldn't help saying a few more words: "Xiao Mo came quite early, why don't you hire an assistant to help you alone, can you be busy when the filming starts in the future?"

"I haven't found a suitable one yet." Lu Rongmo explained, and then quickly assured: "Don't worry from the director, I won't let personal matters delay the progress of the filming."

Seeing Lu Rongmo's nervous look, Bai Congzhen smiled: "Don't be nervous, I'm the best person to get along with. We are all colleagues in the same crew, you can be bold. Go up."

Xu Qingsong looked at Lu Rongmo's back, and touched Bai Congzhen's arm with his elbow, "You like him?"

"For now, yes." Bai Congzhen changed the subject, "But it still depends on his future performance. If he is really a promising talent, I might sign him."

Upon hearing this, Guan Jingzhou said in surprise, "That studio of yours really intends to develop formally? I thought it was just a shell to help you deal with trivial matters."

Bai Congzhen, who only wants to be a director, wants to become a real boss?Strange.

Facing the monkey-like eyes of the two men in the zoo, Bai Congzhen rolled his eyes bluntly, "What are you thinking, I mean signing him to Yunzhen."

Let him take the initiative to do things for himself other than filming?

how is this possible.

The main filming location of the crew was on an old street outside Beijing's Fourth Ring Road.The hotel is not far from here, it only takes a few minutes by car.

Moreover, compared with the modern and exterior architecture and design in Beijing, many houses here still retain the appearance of the older generation.Black bricks and black tiles, moderate height, lively neighborhood full of life atmosphere.In particular, next door to this street is the famous Antique Street.

It is very suitable to choose the studio of the hero in the play here.

Because it has not been officially filmed, there are not many staff members here.Neighbors nearby also thought that the store had closed down and needed to be redecorated.After Bai Congzhen went in, he looked at the decoration and display of the entire store.

Although he had come to see it when the decoration was completed, the feeling of putting all the props on at that time and now is still different.

"It's all made of glass?" Xu Qingsong took two bracelets from the counter in the hall and knocked on each other.

In the antique interior decoration, the showcase occupies most of the place.Through the glass, you can clearly see all kinds of "jewelry" placed inside.Even on the Bogu shelf next to it, there are various ceramic ornaments.

"Otherwise? If Young Master Xu thinks these are too fake, he can also sponsor a batch of real ones in friendship." Bai Congzhen walked towards the cubicle while talking.

The compartment is mainly the male protagonist's studio, so the most conspicuous thing inside is the console in the middle.Open the surrounding wooden cabinets, which contain various tools, as well as gold and silver stored for repairing jewelry.

The purchase reference of the workbench and tools, as well as the relevant knowledge of the restorer in the play, are all provided by the master restorer of Lou’s Jewelry Company.

There is also a second floor in the studio. The upper part is the place where the male lead rests. Not only is it simple and comfortable, but inside there are all kinds of soft pillows that can be seen everywhere, and there is also a lazy sofa.

Overall, Bai Congzhen was very satisfied.

Guan Jingzhou sat on the lazy sofa on the second floor, holding a pillow in his hand: "The decoration of this place is not bad, you don't need to dismantle it and just give the store to Junci after the shooting is over. It's not as beautiful as his previous decoration ?”

Xu Qingsong sat on the sofa, and also complained: "Ning Jun's words are true, next to Antique Street, he actually sells wholesale handicrafts here. Why didn't the bosses of Antique Street smash his shop."

The key is that there are many small restaurants on this street.If someone bought something in Antique Street and came here to eat, he would feel so scared when he saw this store and then looked at the things in his arms.

Talking about this little boy, Bai Congzhen also had a headache: "He never takes an unusual path, and it's not like you don't know it."

"Speaking of which, where has he been lately? He didn't come to get together with you when you returned to China." Xu Qingsong and Ning Junci knew each other because of Bai Congzhen. They were just acquainted but not closely related.

"He's busy being sweet with people abroad." Speaking of this, Bai Congzhen's expression became even worse, "He seems to have met a domestic actor, and by accident, he was treated as a poor little guy who was forced to sell himself. Now He is playing the script of Xiaoqinger, who was taken care of by the sponsor, and is playing Zhenghe."

Bai Congzhen's expression was just bad, while Guan Jingzhou's and Xu Qingsong's expressions were about to crack.

"Which actor is so unlucky?"

prostitution?Small poor?Xiaoqinger?None of the words here are far from Ning Jun's words.

"I don't know." Bai Congzhen shook his head, "He didn't say anything, and I didn't ask."

Although Bai Cong really wanted to know, he guessed that Ning Junci would not tell him, so he didn't waste his words.

"Okay, let's not talk about him. Get up and don't sit still, go back and take makeup photos."

After confirming that the venue was okay, the three of Bai Congzhen went to the studio.There, the costume and hair and make-up teams are all ready.But because it is a modern drama, the costumes will be much simpler.

The male lead wears more shirts with good materials, while the female lead wears a girlish and fresh style.

For these staff, Bai Congzhen just greeted them a little, and did not chat with them too much after greeting them.

Although he is kind to others, as a director, he still needs to maintain a degree of prestige in the eyes of the staff.Occasional ridicule is okay, but it can't be too easy-going.

Xu Qingsong didn't have so many scruples.He was already good at socializing, but now that Bai Congzhen was pretending to be a bad face, he had to be a red face to neutralize it, so as to prevent the atmosphere of the crew from being too oppressive.

As time passed slowly, the first person to come to the studio was the male protagonist Lu Rongmo.Su Yaya was also following along the way.

During the time when Lu Rongmo went to change clothes for styling, the main supporting roles also arrived one after another.The last one to arrive was the heroine Du Mengfu.

Bai Congzhen looked at the time, it was on time and just on time.

"Hello, director. I'm Du Mengfu."

Although the contract was signed, Bai Congzhen and Du Mengfu have not met yet.

Holding each other's hand, Bai Congzhen greeted with a smile: "Hello, Sister Du. The first time we met, Sister Du is as beautiful as in the photo."

The moment Du Mengfu heard that address, she thought she had heard it wrong.But the stiff smiles of the people around told her that she really heard right.

Although she is indeed two years older than Bai Congzhen, it is not wrong to call her "sister".But being called with the surname always made her feel like being called old.

Even calling "Sister Fu" is better than "Sister Du".

Du Mengfu's expression was unnatural, and Bai Congzhen pretended not to see it, and continued: "Sister Du, let's do the styling first, let's take a photo of the makeup."

Su Yaya answered at the right time: "Xiao Fu, come with me."

Watching Du Mengfu and his manager leave, Xu Qingsong gave Bai Congzhen a thumbs up from the side.

Absolutely enough.In order to avoid being arrested and rumored to stir up scandals, Bai Congzhen showed that he was really a "straight man".

I just don't know what Du Mengfu's expression will be when she hears that Bai Congzhen calls all the actresses in the crew "sister" regardless of age.

All the personnel are here, and according to the time of styling, the shooting of the makeup photos is also in full swing.

"Jewel and Jade Grocery Store" is considered a unit drama because of the type of script and story.

The total number of episodes has also been extended to 26 episodes.Although it is incomparable with the TV series with more than 30 episodes on the market now, it ensures the compactness of the plot to the greatest extent.

Because there are fewer episodes, the shooting time will also be shortened.

But Bai Congzhen will not let the actors rush to the scene because of the short shooting time.The time it takes to read the script before the filming of the TV series and some modification and dubbing of the characters in the later stage is all firmly written in the contract.

And now the shooting of makeup photos can be regarded as the interpretation of each actor's initial understanding of the role.

Whether he had read the script carefully before joining the group would be clearly revealed in front of him, the director.Although he also paid attention to their reputation when choosing actors, but there are always surprises in everything.Fortunately, no one who is not serious has been found in his crew.

After filming in one day, Bai Congzhen followed the crew back to the hotel when it was dark.

A familiar figure was waiting in the lobby.

"Yan Yu?" Bai Cong was really surprised, "When did you come, why didn't you tell me."

"I was afraid that Young Master Bai was busy, so I asked Young Master Xu." Yan Yu pushed his glasses, "I just came here not long ago, and I came to deliver something for the president."

Seeing that Bai Congzhen had something to do, the accompanying people went upstairs first.Although they were curious about the relationship between the director and this elite-looking man, everyone was a winking person and would not make fun of themselves.

Su Yaya was also about to leave, but was stopped by Bai Congzhen.

"Sister Ya, come here." Bai Congzhen beckoned to the suspicious Su Yaya.Yan Yu also took the opportunity to hand over the plain envelope to Bai Congzhen.

The three walked to the corner of the lobby to talk.After Bai Congzhen introduced the two to each other in the middle, he asked them to exchange contact information.Because it was too late, it was already Yan Yu's off-duty time, so after a brief chat, Bai Congzhen didn't ask Yan Yu to stay longer.

In the elevator, even though Su Yaya was standing beside him, the corners of Bai Congzhen's mouth kept rising, looking at the envelope in his hand with undisguised joy.

Su Yaya glanced at the envelope, and found that there was no writing on the beige envelope, but it had been meticulously stamped with wax seal.Even the graphic of the seal is a cute teddy bear.

After seeing this teddy bear for 11 years, others don't know, and Bai Congzhen still can't recognize it as Bobo.

And Su Yaya had already guessed who sent this letter, and she also had a helpless smile on her face.Although she felt that Bai Congzhen and his lover were too tired, she was envious of such a relationship from the bottom of her heart.

After saying goodbye to Sister Ya and returning to the room, Bai Congzhen couldn't wait to carefully uncover the seal, and took out the only postcard inside.

On the front is a postcard with ink paintings of flowers and birds, and there is only a simple sentence on the back.

"I've been thinking about you since you left."

Bai Congzhen gently stroked the short line of words with his thumb, threw himself on the bed, buried his face in the pillow, and kicked his legs.

His baby is too nasty.

After venting his overly excited mood, Bai Congzhen took out his mobile phone and dialed Lou Hean's video call.Seeing his lover's face, Bai Congzhen had a sweet smile on his face.

It wasn't until someone knocked on the door and told Bai Congzhen to go down to eat that he finally hung up the phone, patted his hot cheeks and went out.

Although some didn't want to go, this was the first dinner party after all the crew gathered, and Bai Congzhen had no way to refuse.And from this dinner, it also means that Bai Congzhen's career in the crew has officially started.
