Yancheng International Film and Television City, part of the crew of "Journey to the West" is already waiting here.
Wang Xiaomin, her manager Jiang Rui, and her assistant are all here. Although she can't film her part this time, the main reason for coming here today is to thank the people who kept her in person.
"Xiao Min, that person will be here later. We have to thank him, otherwise your role will be snatched away by that woman Ouyang Yan this time!" Jiang Rui still felt very lucky at this time. After all, this is Wang Xiaomin's first career in the industry. A play, very important.
Originally, they all received notices of termination and compensation, but the next day, director Yingjie told them to continue participating, saying that someone had designated the former to play the role of Fairy Chang'e.
As for Ouyang Yan, she left in despair with an investment of 10 million.
Wang Xiaomin nodded absently. She didn't tell Sister Rui that Chen Mo was the original author, so Sister Rui didn't know yet that it was Chen Mo who helped her keep the role.
Ten minutes later, two figures, one large and one small, appeared in front of the crew.
Jiang Chunian and Guo Yingjie came forward to say hello: "Hahaha, Brother Chen is here! This time, brother, I accept your kindness. If you have anything to do in the future, just say hello. I will never refuse if I can do it!"
He was very sincerely grateful to Chen Mo. Knowing so many songs helped him save tens of millions in expenses.
Chen Mo quickly held the hand stretched out by the former: "Brother, this is serious, I also want a share of the profits! And I also made a request."
"Hahaha, what kind of request is that? I'm more optimistic about Wang Xiaomin than Ouyang Yan." Jiang Chunian smiled happily again, then knelt down and pinched his chubby face, "Luo Luo comes to see your dad filming. ah?"
"Well! Hello Uncle Jiang, I'm here to see the most handsome father!"
Shen Xingluo replied crisply that her mother originally asked her to stay at home, but that was boring, and her mother's role would have to wait for a while, so she followed her to Yancheng.
When Jiang Rui saw that the people coming were Chen Mo and his daughter, he was stunned.
"How is that possible? Xiao Min, how could that person be Chen Mo? He's not..."
"Sister Rui, it is indeed Chen Mo. There is one thing I didn't tell you. Chen Mo is the original author of "Journey to the West." Wang Xiaomin replied with a complicated expression, and then walked forward, "Chen Mo, this time Thank you, if it weren’t for your help, I might have lost an opportunity.”
"You don't have to be so polite. You are very suitable for this role. I just want to make this drama more perfect."
Chen Mo did not tell him about his investment in exchange for keeping Wang Xiaomin, because it was unnecessary and it was his guilt for the former.
Watching her father talking to her beautiful sister, the little girl pouted.
"Ah, beautiful sister, we meet again, Luoluo treats you to some candy." As she said this, she actually took out a beef jerky candy from her pocket, "This is my father and mother's wedding candy, it's delicious! "
Hearing this, the smile Wang Xiaomin had just squeezed out froze on her face, and she didn't know why she took the candy.
Seeing the wariness in his daughter's eyes, Chen Mo smiled helplessly: "This... Luoluo is my biological daughter... so, I got married."
"Congratulations then!"
Wang Xiaomin smiled bitterly, then turned and walked back.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Jiang Chunian raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Brother Chen, this is your fault. You didn't invite me to such a big event as your wedding. I don't know what my siblings look like!"
"Brother, I misunderstood. Luoluo's mother and I just received the certificate. We will definitely not forget my brother when we hold weddings in the future."
"Why did Mr. Chen only invite Mr. Jiang? I, an old woman, would not be happy about it."
Seeing that Guo Yingjie also came to intervene, Chen Mo had to apologize again and again: "Please invite everyone. Director Yingjie is also my boss. I can't forget you!"
"Well, I love hearing that!"
Guo Yingjie nodded with satisfaction, then turned and looked at all the crew members: "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's set off and try to start filming tomorrow."
"Director Yingjie, are we going to shoot on location?"
"Yes, I plan to shoot all of "Journey to the West" in real locations, otherwise I would really be sorry for such a good work. Besides, I'm about to retire and want to give my director career a happy ending."
After hearing this, Chen Mo looked at Guo Yingjie with great admiration. There are not many directors who have always maintained such a dedicated heart.
The group of people arrived at Yancheng International Airport, and the crew directly chartered a large passenger plane. After all, the crew had a lot of good filming equipment, and in order to pursue efficiency, airplanes were the most direct option.
While chatting on the plane, Chen Mo realized that the place he was going to this time was Yungang City, Jiangsu Province.
As early as when he decided to shoot "Journey to the West", Guo Yingjie had already found people to select locations across the country, and the Huaguo Mountain in Yungang City fit well with the Huaguo Mountain in "Journey to the West".
"So, Director Yingjie is mainly responsible for Uprising in Heaven and the previous scenes?"
"Mr. Chen is right. I am mainly responsible for this part of the plot. The rest will be directed by several other directors. I only need to control the general direction." Guo Yingjie sighed, "After all, I am getting old and my energy is not as good as before. Let me watch the whole process alone, let alone the lack of time, I can't bear it at all."
"Aunt Yingjie is not old at all, Luo Luo just wants to call you aunt!"
Hearing this, Guo Yingjie smiled happily: "Luoluo is really good at talking. Mr. Chen has such a smart and lovely daughter. You and your daughter are really a blessing to each other."
"Yes, I am lucky to be Luoluo's father!"
Because they had already communicated with Yungang City in advance, after leaving the airport, the crew rushed to the filming location non-stop to make all the preparations and start shooting directly tomorrow.
The life of the crew is actually quite boring. After six or seven days of continuous filming, everyone lost the energy they had when they first came.
The only exception is the little girl Shen Xingluo. She can always find something happy. When she gets tired from playing outside, she goes back to the tent to play on the computer and take a rest.
Chen Mo is filming during the day and selecting and composing songs at night.
Although there is a ready-made entertainment gift package, he also wants everyone to hear the songs he composed. This has always been his dream.
On the eighth day of filming, his scene was completely finished under Guo Yingjie's adjustments.
"Mr. Chen, to be honest, why don't you change your career to become a professional actor?" Guo Yingjie sighed as she bid farewell to Chen Mo and his daughter.
She has filmed no less than a hundred film and television works, and she has met only a handful of actors with such acting skills. She can keep the N-camera within five times of almost every scene, and even many of them can be completed in one shot.
Other executive directors, including the intern director, also nodded: It’s such a waste for Mr. Chen to write songs!
Chen Mo smiled humbly and replied: "Director Yingjie, please stop praising me. No matter how much you praise me, I don't even know what my last name is. I won't consider being an actor for the time being, but I will definitely consider it soon."
"Well, I know Mr. Chen has great ambitions, so I will wait for the good news that you will become famous."
"Thank you, Director Yingjie. Luoluo and I will leave first, and we will meet again in Yancheng!" Chen Mo said goodbye with a smile, and then looked to the other side, "Junior Luo Fan, you are very good at acting and singing. You are talented, my senior brother was not as good as you before, so keep working hard, you will definitely have a place in the entertainment industry in the future."
"Senior brother is so complimentary. I have always admired him!"
Zhang Luofan nodded heavily. During his breaks these days, he would discuss music matters with his senior brother. The more he discussed, the more he admired his senior brother, who was indeed a man of the hour in the academy.
"Okay, we senior brothers should stop complimenting each other and keep in touch from time to time."
