After reuniting with the giant bamboo horse, I became popular [entertainment circle]

The town is not big, and the two found the hotel rented by the crew in a short while.

It is said that it is a hotel, but it is actually more like a homestay, but the conditions are much better than traditional homestays.

This place used to be the mansion of a rich family, but as time went by, only ruins remained. The owner of the hotel took over the entire area and built the current Antique Hotel.

It's a pity that all the original old things were lost, leaving only an antique door, which was restored by the owner and installed in the original place.

Huang Anguo was sitting on the bluestone steps in front of the house without any image, chatting with a local old man.

Seeing the two of them, Huang Anguo jumped up and greeted them: "It's been a hard journey, and the conditions here are not so good, so I can only wrong you."

Li Huai looked at the tall courtyard behind the director and said sincerely: "The conditions here are already very good."

Huang Anguo still looked like a dog: "After all, this place is remote, and it is not as convenient as a big city. If you need anything, just mention it."

He Xijing nodded, still coldly.

Li Huai said: "Okay, thank you director, when will the official start?"

Huang Anguo didn't dare to mind the attitude of the big boss, and still said enthusiastically, "You guys have a good rest for a day, and tomorrow you will take a makeup photo, and then you will read the script, and the official start will start next Monday."

He ushered the two of them in, and continued, "I specially asked Master to forget it. The day of the opening is an absolutely auspicious day, and we are guaranteed to make our movie a hit."

Li Huai raised his legs and walked in, and found that the hotel was also antique, with copper lamps on the wooden corridor, fallen flowers on the grille, heavy ridges and high eaves, transparent patio, bright and gentle light, which made people fall in love with it at first sight.

Walking into the front yard planted with osmanthus trees, several people came over and greeted the director.

The director hurriedly introduced these people to Li Huai and He Xijing, including lighting, photography, and life logistics.

"If you have anything to do, just ask Ah Wu," Huang Anguo said, and then told the logistics Ah Wu: "These are the two leading actors of our show, and this is the producer. You must take care of it!"

That tone of voice was exactly the same as that of the Chief Ouchi.

Ah Wu is also a simple and honest person, so he answered loudly.

"There's not much to do in this town, but the hotel's facilities are pretty good. There's a gym and a library, and there's a small movie theater," Huang Anguo continued, "There's also a sky garden on the top floor, and the coffee there is pretty good. .”

Huang Anguo gave the room cards to the two of them again: "You all live on the third floor, and the room numbers are connected. You can discuss which one you want to live in."

Then, he glanced at the big boss as if asking for credit, and finally got a positive hint, and then he retired triumphantly.

The luggage of Li Huai and He Xijing had already been placed at the door. The layout of the two adjacent rooms should be similar. Li Huai didn't care, so he chose the room on the right.

This is an equally quaint large suite, with a bedroom, a living room, a viewing balcony, and a beautiful glazed blue bathtub.

When I went out to film in the past, the assistant Xiao Ou lived with Li Huai, but this time the place may be big enough, and Xiao Ou also has a separate room, so he lives downstairs from them. He couldn't stop lingering beside the bathtub next to him, with a look of covetousness.

Li Huai ignored him, pushed open the glass sliding door and went to the balcony, looked to the left, just in time to see He Xijing also on the balcony, the two balconies were so close that he could almost jump over it.

Li Huai waved to He Xijing.

He Xijing was obviously taken aback when he saw Li Huai, and then looked at the balcony that was very close. For some reason, his face was a little serious, and he nodded and went back to his room.

Li Huai stood in front of the fence, took a deep breath, and looked into the distance. There were many hills in the south, low hills stretched endlessly, and there were many rivers. The mountains and rivers were surrounded by lush greenery.

Xiao Ou finally recovered from the big bathtub, and sighed: "Brother Li, the environment here is really good. I checked it on the Internet and found that this homestay is very expensive. I can't even bear to live in that kind of homestay when traveling."

Li Huai didn't bother to ask how much it cost, anyway, according to He Xijing's usual style, it was not much cheaper.

Maybe there is a one-month package here, which is just the money for a private jet flight.

"You go to rest first," he said to Xiao Ou, "Just now Director Huang said that the actors of the crew have almost arrived, and we will meet together at night, and tomorrow we have to set makeup and read the script. There are many things to do."

Xiao Ou agreed and left.

After a while, Director Huang found him again, and took Li Huai to He Xijing's room by the way.

"Boss, are you still used to living here? It's just that the conditions in this small town are like this, and you can't find a better one." Huang Anguo's dog legs are still the same.

He Xijing saw this man as soon as he opened the door, and subconsciously frowned, but when he saw Li Huai behind him, although his face was still not very good, his brows had been relaxed, and he stepped aside to open the door.

Huang Anguo walked in swaggeringly, pretending to be a tiger.

The layout of He Xijing's room is similar to that of Li Huai's. The window is half open, and the refreshing wind blows in continuously. There is an open laptop on the small table by the window.

"I'm here to talk about your rivalry," Huang Anguo said, and couldn't help but peek at the two of them, "I know you two are friends, but our show isn't a same-sex movie, so I hope you... A little more intimate."

Li Huai glanced at He Xijing.

His face was still cold, and his dark eyes looked at the director with a silent oppression.

At this time, Huang Anguo had a rare bit of backbone. Under the threat of the patron's gaze, he tried his best to straighten out his thin chest: "This is also for the good of our movie."

He glanced at Li Huai, then at Boss He Da, the courage he had just mustered up, unknowingly let it go: "Only Li Huai has experience in filming among the few of us, not to mention that this film is still very challenging. The subject of..."

"You mean you can't take pictures?" He Xijing raised his eyebrows and asked coldly.

"Of course not!" Huang Anguo quickly shook his head, "I mean..."

His aura finally leaked out, and his tone became more and more humble: "You are friends from the beginning, and the room is also arranged together. Usually, you must communicate and think about the characters. If you have any questions about the script or the characters, you must also contact me immediately." communicate."

He rambled on for a while, and in the end there was only a guilty smile left: "Hahaha, I'm just giving advice. After all, I'm also a new director, so let's explore together."

Even Li Huai, who was not very familiar with Director Huang, could see that the baby-faced director was too nervous to speak incoherently.

Huang Anguo also felt his gaffe, scratched his head and laughed dryly, and then mentioned that the other main actors of the crew, as well as the entire professional crew, were all present, and there was a dinner party in the evening, so he asked the two of them if they would go.

Li Huai readily agreed, and He Xijing did not refuse.

"Summer" is a small-budget literary and artistic film. There are not many crew members, but there are also dozens of people. This B&B hotel may not look big, but it is quite capable, just enough to accommodate everyone.

The restaurant of the hotel is on the first floor. Instead of using the original old house, a transparent glass restaurant was specially built in the yard. There are pavilions, terraces, pools and pavilions next to it, surrounded by green trees and bamboos. In the middle is an elegant but modern restaurant. The sexy cafeteria is also interesting.

Although the leading role in "Summer" is not well-known, it unexpectedly invited a lot of well-known veteran actors, most of whom Li Huai knew.

"Mr. Lou Gang, it's an honor to work with you."

Li Huai greeted an old senior respectfully.

Lou Gang is almost seventy years old, no matter in terms of qualifications or number of awards, he can be counted in this circle. Mingming is already very old, but he would rather play a supporting role in various film and television dramas than rest at home.

Several years ago, Li Huai worked with this actor in a crew and benefited a lot.

Lou Gang looked at Li Huai with a little smile on his face, then quickly restrained himself and nodded towards him.

This old man is not short of money, and he is not too picky about scripts, but because of his seniority, he doesn't care about the so-called banning order, and accepting TV and movies is all on his own will.

In the movie, he plays the old headmaster of the town school.

"Film well, I like you." That's all he said.

Li Huai thanked gratefully.

"Sister Yilan, long time no see, you are still so beautiful." Li Huai saw another acquaintance.

Jiang Yilan used to be a post-television figure, and later married Xiying, and she hasn't come out for many years.

Although she is nearly fifty, Jiang Yilan's charm is still the same as before. She has a gentle temperament and plays the role of the hero Ji Xin's mother.

Many years ago, it was Jiang Yilan's last film before Xiying, and Li Huai happened to be lucky enough to work with her, although he only played a small supporting role for a few minutes in it.

"How did these seniors invite them?" Li Huai couldn't help asking Huang Anguo in private.

The seemingly generous director smiled smugly: "I can't help it, who told us that our sponsor has connections and money!"

This rookie director who just graduated from school, although from time to time he shows a bit of youthful confusion and likes to talk nonsense, but it is probably because he has money to back him up. Most of the time, his confidence is still very unusual.

The filming cycle is long, and most of the supporting actors don’t need to stay with the crew for a long time, but for the script reading in the early stage, He Xijing specially sent a private plane to pick up several seniors and send them back in a few days. Joining the group after that is also treated the same way.

The ostentation and treatment are all given, coupled with the deep connections, it is no wonder that even the respected Lou Gang and Jiang Yilan who has not been out of the world for a long time have come to join in.

Li Huai also met the screenwriter of "Summer", a quiet and thin young man. He looked at Li Huai curiously for a long time, but he seemed shy by nature and didn't come to talk to him.

According to Director Huang, the script of "Summer" has a prototype, and the book won an award, and it was He Xijing who spent a lot of money to buy it.

"Don't look at the screenwriter who is quiet, he has a lot of demands," Director Huang whispered in Li Huai's ear, "But he is quite satisfied with the image of you and the boss, so don't worry."

Li Huai nodded, and glanced at the pale and thin young man again.

Li Huai quickly recognized everyone else in the crew. He has a good memory and is a thoughtful person. No one who has worked with him is boastful. After a meal, even knowing that he was hidden by snow, Several young actors who were wary couldn't help but get close to him.

"Senior brother, I liked your "Cold Sword Unsheathed" very much before, and I have played several films. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to work with you."

Feng Hongyu, who just graduated from the Film Academy this year, is Li Huai's junior, and he plays the male number three in the movie, a handsome young man.

Li Huai talked to his junior in a good-tempered manner, and asked how the teachers in the former college were doing now.

The two were chatting happily when suddenly a tall figure walked straight over.

Li Huai turned his head and found that it was He Xijing.

"This is my junior, who just graduated this year," he introduced to He Xijing, and then introduced He Xijing to the other party.

The young boy looked a little shy, and said hello to He Xijing in a low voice.

Completely different from Li Huai's gentleness when he was alone, He Xijing had that indifferent and alienated look on his face again.

He nodded to Feng Hongyu indifferently, and stopped talking to Feng Hongyu.

Feng Hongyu was obviously a little embarrassed, laughed a few times on the spot, and took the opportunity to leave.

He Xijing didn't care about the stranger who was scared away by his air-conditioning, and asked Li Huai: "I heard that the night view here is very good, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Li Huai accidentally ate too much just now, and just wanted to go for a walk, so he nodded in agreement.

The two people here are going out, and the elementary school boy who was scared away just now couldn't help but ask the amiable baby-faced director: "Director Huang, senior brother and Mr. He, are they a couple?"

"What nonsense!" Huang Anguo glared at this reckless kid, "Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and don't make random guesses. Make a good film. If the actor is not suitable, I will directly change it!"

The children who had just left school were so frightened that they immediately shut up and didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore.

Huang Anguo looked at the door, showing a mean and wretched smile.
