Chapter 9 Director Liu Yuan

Huo Zhang started out as an amateur part-time graphic model in college. The first TV series he filmed in his official debut was called "White Crane", which is an animal protection-themed TV series about college students and white cranes.At that time, he hadn't become an instant hit, but the films he appeared in one after another gradually pushed him to the top.

The movie Bai Huaijin watched was called "Walking Clouds and Flowing Water", and it told the story of the first traditional martial art, Tai Chi.It has been many years since the movie, in which Huo Zhang played a villainous boss who only showed one side from beginning to end.But it was this side that amazed all the audience, and has since become popular all over the world.

Bai Huaijin didn't show this movie just to watch Huo Zhang.So, seeing the *oss who dropped the golden mask at the end, his jaw almost dropped in shock.

Throughout the movie, the villain boss wearing a golden mask is like a ghost, making trouble for the protagonist everywhere.Originally, Bai Huaijin was just watching and admiring the superb acting skills of this villain actor. How could he have thought that in the end, he would find out that the other party was drinking with him in the same room just an hour ago...

Bai Huaijin's eyes were fixed on the projection, the melody of the ending song gradually sounded, and the cast list began to be slowly projected upwards.

Huo Zhang's name clearly appeared in it.

After confirming that the villain boss was really Huo Zhang himself, Bai Huaijin seemed to have been pulled out of strength suddenly, and she leaned back and fell on the sofa.The outstretched arm touched the jeans that he had thrown on the sofa, and he turned slightly sideways, and took out the business card from his pocket.

Looking at the words on the business card under the light of the projection, Bai Huaijin was a little dazed.

*****

There are as many as hundreds of film and television works filmed in China every year, but only a part of them can actually be broadcast on TV stations and shown in movie theaters.At present, there are more than 120 film and television studios in China, and they are really overcrowded, and there are probably no more than one hand full of crews everywhere.

Recently, there are a lot of filming crews in the film and television city where Bai Huaijin works.In addition to tourists, several major urban areas are crew members.

Huo Zhang came here this time to participate in the filming of a costume TV series.

Recently, many film crews are keen to adapt online novels, because the novels themselves are good and bad, and the directors and crews have different funds, so the filmed versions of film and television dramas often encounter a lot of criticism.If you are unlucky, you will not only offend fans of the original work, but also offend fans of the actors.

What Huo Zhang filmed this time is also a TV series adapted from an online novel.The original title was "Stealing Heart", and it followed a style similar to Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio.Huo Zhang plays a fairy in it. In order to save the lives of the whole tribe, the rabbit spirit, played by the popular actress Li Minmin, does not hesitate to agree to the request of the king of the demon world, stealing the heart of the fairy and offering it to the devil in exchange for the safety of the tribe. A series of bloody, sad but warm stories unfolded between the rabbit spirits.

Huo Zhang is actually not interested in this kind of costume idol romance drama, but the reason why he took over this drama is entirely for the friendship with the director Liu Yuan.But these are all irrelevant. Although the plot of this drama is actually very low, with Huo Zhang around, the basic ratings have been guaranteed, so this is enough.

Even if the heroine is a relative of the producer, even if there are several people in the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth corners of the play who are stuffed in by investors, it doesn't matter.

In front of the monitor, director Liu Yuan frowned, staring closely at the scene inside.

In this scene, the timid and fearful rabbit spirit sneaked into the scene of the fairy party, and then changed into its original form, slowly approaching the target.

The immortal played by Huo Zhang has lived alone in the mountains practicing Taoism for thousands of years, and is not good at communicating with others, so he inevitably looks a little arrogant.Even at the gathering of immortals held every 500 years, he still straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and looked very lonely.

However, when this lonely fairy looked down and saw a snow-white rabbit jumping to his side, the line of his lips was slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.The hand holding the whisk was slowly stretched out, gently stroking the rabbit's head.Then, the immortal said, "Where did the little guy come from?"

After he finished speaking, he was silent for a while. A fairy in green clothes who was sitting not far from him seemed to have seen the rabbit. There is nothing that you little guy can eat." After the Tsing Yi fairy said, he was going to ask Xiantong to send the rabbit out.

The immortal hurriedly said, "Give it to me."

After taking the rabbit, the immortal put it on his lap and slowly stroked the rabbit's body.On his usual cold and haughty face, there was a rare gentle expression.

"Crack! This one is over!"

Huo Zhang's eyes suddenly changed as he yelled in the loudspeaker, and the rabbit on his lap was quickly hugged off.The cooperating fairy in Tsing Yi watched Huo Zhang stand up, and hurriedly bowed: "Brother Huo, thank you for your hard work."

Huo Zhang nodded, the assistant stepped forward a few steps and handed over the water glass, and the makeup artist next to him also hurried over to touch up the makeup.

"Xiao Huo, take a rest first, and then take a shot of the heroine first."

Liu Yuan is more than 50 years old this year, and he has been filming TV dramas all the time.The first TV series that Huo Zhang participated in was Liu Yuan's work.Huo Zhang nodded when he saw Liu Yuan spitting blood in front of the monitor.

It has been ten days since the crew started up.In addition to still not showing the makeup photos, the basic list of actors has already been posted on the entertainment channels of various portals and Weibo.

For the co-star Li Minmin, Huo Zhang doesn't ask for her superb acting skills, as long as she doesn't have continuous ng, it's useless.

But when he was resting next to him, the interval from "" to "cut" was less than 1 minute, and then Liu Yuan yelled a few times, and then continued the cycle of "" and "cut".

When Qiu Yun came over with a bag of coffee, Huo Zhang had already been sitting beside him for a while.He handed the coffee to his assistant Xiao Zhou, and asked Xiao Zhou to distribute it to the other leading actors in the same group. He sat down next to Huo Zhang and raised his chin towards Liu Yuan.

"How many times is this...cut?"

"No count."

Huo Zhang seldom drank coffee, and the coffee Qiu Yun brought over was purely props for building a good relationship with the other leading actors in the crew.He raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yuan who was about to be driven mad by Li Minmin's anger.

Li Minmin is not a newcomer.She debuted for about four or five years, and she also played the leading role in several TV dramas. She was also a hot news figure on the Internet because of plastic surgery and other incidents.But no matter what, she has been in a state of lukewarmness in the past few years, and there are few roles that can really impress the audience.

This time, she joined the group as the heroine with the help of Niu's producer, but in fact, she wanted to make her famous.

But at present, it seems that if you want to be popular, unless you hype it.

Qiu Yun glanced to the side: "I remember that in today's rivalry scene, besides Li Minmin, there was another one. Why didn't I see anyone?"

As soon as the voice fell, Liu Yuan's anger finally reached its peak, and he raised the loudspeaker: "Stop it all! Why are you still filming? Didn't you see that Miss Li didn't have enough to eat!!"

It's a good scene, and it's about the rabbit spirit who takes the human form by surprise and bumps into the fairy maidservant.The girls who acted as fairy servants were all very young and beautiful. They were young juniors picked out from the school. In contrast, Li Minmin, who had debuted for many years, was so clumsy in acting that his eyes drifted away and his tone of voice was pale.

"Where's Guo Lipeng?" Liu Yuan's voice was very irritable in the loudspeaker.

"Who is Guo Lipeng?"

Assistant Xiao Zhou, who had just returned from delivering the coffee, was stunned, and said in a low voice, "It's a newcomer who plays the male number three in the play. He just joined the group two days ago."

No wonder Qiu Yun didn't know Guo Lipeng.After the ktv that day, Qiu Yun flew back to the brokerage company to handle the brokerage work of another actor under him.It was also during this period of time that Guo Lipeng, as a newcomer to be favored by investors, brought money into the group and played the role of the male number three who played a lot of roles in the play.

After listening to this, Qiu Yun said to Huo Zhang, "He's from the investor again. If you pay back the favor, it will look very tiring."

For this, Huo Zhang agrees very much in his heart.

In this TV series, in addition to the crew members, three of the ten actors are related households and were stuffed into the crew.Just for the scene of Li Minmin just now, he knew that his previous expectations were still too high - if he didn't seek superb acting skills, if he couldn't even do it without continuous ng, the shooting of the whole TV series would be in jeopardy. How difficult it has become is completely conceivable.

"Where's Guo Lipeng?!"

Liu Yuan was still shouting.With so many stars in a drama, there will always be some people who like to show their specialness by showing their specialness, but those who do these things are often big-name stars.But like now, several scenes have been filmed, and the people involved in the show were notified one day in advance, but they still didn't come.

Liu Yuan got a little angry, and was about to ask someone to make a call when he heard a sudden commotion not far away.Because there were several floors of staff members, Liu Yuan realized that the person walking slowly was none other than Guo Lipeng, the third male.

Huo Zhang glanced at Liu Yuan's face, stood up and walked towards him.At Liu Yuan's age, if his blood pressure rises too high, it will be bad for his health.

As he walked over, he heard Liu Yuan turn off the loudspeaker and say, "What's going on?"

"Too tired, so I got up late." Guo Lipeng was tall and thin, wearing a peaked cap and a pair of sunglasses, and he seemed a little confident when he spoke.

Huo Zhang glanced at Guo Lipeng: "Didn't the theater management inform you that you have a play today, and you have to go to the dressing room to prepare for makeup two hours in advance?"

Guo Lipeng yawned, with a very obvious look of disapproval on his face: "Isn't it just a little late, what's the big deal..."

"Snapped!"

"..."

Huo Zhang lowered his head and glanced at the script thrown on the ground by Liu Yuan.He bent down to pick it up, and dusted the dust off his head.

Everyone present focused their attention on Liu Yuan——Liu Yuan is a well-known director of TV dramas in the industry. Eight of the ten TV dramas he filmed had extremely high ratings. Not popular, but also can attract many fans.

"In this circle, newcomers appear one after another. If you don't pay attention, you will all become front waves and be shot to death on the beach. Some people will leave a mark after being shot, and some people can't even leave a trace! No one has a bone , but whether the bones have weight or not depends on yourself, don’t think that you have a backing, so you are light and light, and you always feel that you are a head taller than others.”

Staff: "Yes, yes!"

Liu Yuan walked up to Guo Lipeng, his eyes were stern: "How many days have you been in the group?"

Guo Lipeng didn't speak, and the assistant next to him hurriedly replied: "Today is the third day..."

Liu Yuan looked at Guo Lipeng and sneered: "The third day? The first day I entered the group, because I just said I didn't adapt, so I tried some makeup, and then I went back to the hotel after less than 3 minutes of shooting. The next day, all the actors arrived, and a plenary meeting was called, but you were not at the hotel, and the front desk said that you came back after one o'clock in the middle of the night, and you brought a bunch of paparazzi with you, which almost disturbed the normal operation of the hotel."

Guo Lipeng was embarrassed for a moment: "Director Liu..."

"If you look down on the male number three, you don't have to act if you don't want to act, or if you feel very tired and can't join the filming group recently, you can continue to rest and don't use it."

Liu Yuan still has some confidence in his words. It is not uncommon for actors who did not cooperate to be kicked in the middle of filming. Although it will involve breach of contract, there is always a way to solve the problem.

This sentence obviously sounded like an order to expel a guest, but it came out without warning.

Almost everyone present was stunned at that moment.Guo Lipeng was even more dumbfounded, as if he had never thought that he would end up like this just by playing a little temper.

Guo Lipeng's assistant was anxious: "Director Liu, your lord has a lot..."

Liu Yuan raised his hand and waved it, interrupted the other party's words, turned around and looked at Li Minmin, and asked unhurriedly, "Are you ready to shoot?"

With such a "role model" like Guo Lipeng by his side, Li Minmin didn't dare to shake his head, and hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Liu Yuan didn't pay attention to Guo Lipeng, instead he patted Huo Zhang on the shoulder, and said lightly: "These juniors are too young, Xiao Huo, I have to work hard for you."
