The two of them got their room cards first, went upstairs to put their suitcases, and then went downstairs to eat.
The dining place is right next to the hotel, opened by the same owner. When we arrived at the private room, the food had not yet been served. A group of people were eating melon seeds and peeling peanuts. It was very lively.
Ni Bingyan took a look and saw that there were two tables prepared.
The table is a traditional square table, which is too crowded for eight big men to sit at one table. It seems that there are indeed only a dozen or so people here tonight.
Director Deng Yu sat in the corner with a notebook and quietly perfected his storyboards.
Ni Bingyan worked with him for the first time. They had only met him once during the audition and were not familiar with his character. He said hello and exchanged a few pleasantries with him. His eyes fell on his notebook again. It was obvious that he did not like to chat, so he followed Peng Huan. Talk to someone you know.
Ni Bingyan had good eyesight, and he could clearly see the contents of the notebook in a moment.
The person looks like a stick figure and the writing is sloppy. It seems like this is a stream of consciousness director.
When you perform in the future, you must think again and again to get the feeling he wants, otherwise you will definitely fail again and again.
The director had probably already started a movie in his mind. Ni Bingyan didn't want to disturb him. He looked around and saw a skinny little man standing in front of the window holding a mobile phone, patting the window sill and yelling:
"The filming is about to start, why are you trying to stop me? What's a show without carrots? Just tell me if it can be in place tomorrow! If not, I will replace it overnight!
"What are you talking about? How big of a deal is this? Why do you have the nerve to say this? I, Old Liu, are notoriously thick-skinned, and I can't even say such a thing!
"You have the nerve to keep me from being angry? Would you be angry if it were you? Promise well, and you'll give up on me when the time comes! I didn't lie to you, I made it clear in advance! That's the condition! Now we have to increase the price, how can I Is there any reason to do this?
"Tell me, who will dare to believe what you say in the future? If they want someone in the future, they can still come to you? Even if they fart, they will still hear it!"
Seeing her looking over there, Peng Huan smiled and pulled her up, and asked an acquaintance: "What's wrong with our assistant director? Are you so angry?"
Someone said: "Sister Huanhuan, you don't know. Brother Liu just received a call from the group leader, saying that the group performers originally scheduled could not come. He said that the place was too remote and the conditions were not good. They were clamoring for a price increase. Brother Liu Why don't you just change someone quickly? They're so stubborn and don't want to let it go. You're talking about the situation of our crew, right?"
The man gave Peng Huan a "you know" look. Not only did Peng Huan understand, but Ni Bingyan also understood.
The crew is poor, so they can't help but work hard.
The conditions this time are indeed difficult, and it is understandable for the group leaders to complain, but since it has been agreed upon long ago, the temporary increase in price is not good enough.
How to solve this matter depends on who is more capable.
Nothing is easy these days!
It's not the actor's turn to worry about this matter, so Ni Bingyan can just watch the fun.
I didn't expect that Liu Zhicheng, a small man, could lose his temper so fiercely. It seemed that he couldn't be offended in the future.
In a large production team, the assistant casting director and the assistant director on set are usually two separate positions. Now that the two tasks fall on one person, you can imagine how irritable he will be.
Ni Bingyan, who comes from a grassroots background, is the best at observing words and emotions. He figured out a lot of things not long after entering the room.
While thinking about it, I had already walked to the sofa in the corner, where a group of people were playing poker around a peeling paint coffee table.
Without waiting for Peng Huan to make an introduction, he cleverly gave up his seat and asked them to sit down.
"Sister Bingbing, sister Huan, you are finally here!"
Peng Huan sat down directly, took a seat, shouted "Let me do two rounds too", and touched the cards. He was obviously very familiar with this group of people.
The others were not annoyed, and someone gave up another seat and asked Ni Bingyan to sit opposite: "Sister Bingbing, come and play for a while."
She is not very famous, nor does she have a name in the circle. She hangs around in the circle, so even if everyone is not familiar with her, they still don't know her.
In the past when she was on set for filming, everyone called her "Bing Yan". She was a bit affectionate, but kept a sufficient distance, because the original actress was not a very friendly person.
When she joined the group this time, everyone called her by her nickname. It seemed like they were all gossips and they knew about her dad’s live broadcast a few days ago.
She was also happy and down-to-earth, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Okay! It will take a while before dinner starts, let's kill some time first."
There are dozens or hundreds of people in a crew, just like a small society. Newcomers are often confused when they join the crew. They can't even tell what the various departments in the crew do. If you accidentally offend someone, you will be judged by others.
These behind-the-scenes staff are not afraid of offending the junior actors. After all, the crew members are not fixed. After a drama is completed, everyone has to change jobs. It is not clear whether there will be opportunities to work together again in the future. If the actors want revenge, they will Opportunities are not easy to find.
Have a good relationship with them and they will take you with them if any good thing happens. If something goes wrong, there will be fewer people stabbing you in the back.
Therefore, Ni Bingyan has developed the habit of being kind to others a long time ago. As long as others do not embarrass her, she will respond in kind.
After spending a month or two together in a closed crew day and night, when the movie is finished, these people will become her acquaintances. If they meet again on the next crew, they will become old acquaintances.
Everyone saw that her temperament was not as cold as the rumors, and their smiles deepened, and they all called her to come and grab the cards.
"We fight landlords. If we lose, we have to put a sticker on our face!"
Someone smiled and explained the rules.
A beautiful woman’s face must be very beautiful with stickers all over her face!
If Ni Bingyan had put on makeup, they might not risk offending her like this. Since she was without makeup, it was just a matter of washing her face.
For a moment, everyone was booing.
As a result, Ni Bingyan had no idol baggage at all. He took the poker and started playing with everyone in circles.
When the dishes were all served, the producer invited everyone to come to the table to eat. The other three families had their faces covered with notes, and they shouted angrily: "Sister Bingbing, you are too cruel!"
Ni Bingyan smiled and said nothing.
I used to be afraid of getting sleepy when I was waiting on the set. A group of extras always liked to play cards. Everyone had no money, so they liked to put stickers on them to play with the hearts of the cards. She is not stupid to begin with. With her experience, naturally, sharp.
It was an easy meal, and nothing happened that night.
Early the next morning, Ni Bingyan went downstairs at the time notified by the coordinator. The other leading actors had not yet arrived, but the props and costumes were shipped overnight.
The people behind the scenes had to make preparations first. Ni Bingyan was not in a hurry. After asking about the departure time, he drove Peng Huan to the city to buy things.
She had never been here before. She checked the weather forecast last night and found out that the altitude here was high and the temperature difference between day and night was large. She had to put on more clothes.
It rains a lot in the mountains, so you need to prepare rain gear and cold medicine.
There are many mosquitoes in summer, so you need to prepare some insect repellent to feel safe.
It’s best to prepare some extra towels and the like.
Last night at dinner, I met the purchaser of Life Producer, who was a muscular man. She would rather hang herself if she asked him to help carry these things.
Her carriage was large enough to hold only her personal belongings. After shopping, she was worried that there would be no place to refuel in the mountains, so she went to a gas station to fill up the tank.
After they came back from shopping and had a simple lunch, the other leading actors also arrived.
The heroine’s grandmother is played by veteran actor Qin Fengjun.
This is a skinny old lady, she is 69 years old this year. If her hometown is not here, she has returned to her hometown to take care of her old age. In addition, this movie has the idea of helping the local people get rid of poverty and become rich, and the old lady will not come at all.
The others were probably too tired from the long journey, so they got off the car and said hello, then got in the car to catch up on some sleep.
The poor male actor probably suffered from motion sickness. His face was pale and he was drifting when he walked. He got out of the car and took two steps before he was dragged into the car by his manager. Ni Bingyan didn't even see his face clearly.
I hope it's not someone difficult to get along with.
After praying secretly, she drove the car and followed the others to Wutong County.
Part of Laoyu'ao is not open to traffic. They have to go to Wutong County first, and then move equipment into the mountains early tomorrow morning.
Wutong County has a noble name that makes people think of the noble phoenix. In fact, it is just because there are abundant sycamore trees here.
Wutong County is halfway up the mountain. If you want to go up, you have to drive dozens of miles of winding mountain roads.
When they entered the county town, the group wanted to go straight to the inn, but saw a group of people standing up from a tea shed on the roadside and waving to them.
Ni Bingyan couldn't figure out the situation, and it wasn't her turn to speak. She just stood in the crowd and watched.
I saw the producer leading the director forward, shaking hands affectionately with the thin man in an executive jacket, calling him "Director Luo", and shaking his hand. He was so moved that he said, "You are too enthusiastic. ! On such a hot day, we have been waiting on the roadside. It’s time for us to arrive and go visit again!”
But it is the local government's department dedicated to poverty alleviation, and everyone from the director to the newly hired clerks are here.
