Zhang Yuanjun left school as scheduled and went to China Television Wuxi Film City.
It was my first serious filming, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.
After successfully checking in at the hotel, Zhang Yuanjun couldn't sleep while lying on the bed.
I finally had my eyelids fight, but it felt like I only had to squint for five minutes, and it was dawn when I opened my eyes.
Noisy voices can already be heard outside the window.
Zhang Yuanjun arrived at the film and television city start-up site on time. The banner saying "The film is about to start production on "The World's Best"" has been put up, but only the crew, director, starring actors and Wang Jing were not present at the scene.
The on-site producer who was busy asked him: "Why are you here so early?"
"Is it early? The schedule says this is the starting ceremony." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"You're stupid, no one comes on time." The on-site producer is from the mainland and is relatively close to Zhang Yuanjun. He whispered to him, "Brother, I will teach you a trick. You are the leading actor. You don't have to come on time. You go to work on time. Others I will treat you like a soft persimmon. Don’t be too honest on the set. You should use airs and airs. Only if you act like you are not easy to mess with will others cooperate with you. Do you understand?"
"What else is there to say?"
"The crew has a lot of knowledge on set, so learn it slowly. You listen to me and turn around and go back. You may want to go to the movie studio or have breakfast. Come back at 10 o'clock."
Zhang Yuanjun is a little embarrassed at the scene now, whether he leaves or not.
But it didn't take long for him to see the prop master, he quickly said hello, got his prop knife, and started making gestures on the spot as a way to warm up.
We kept playing until nine o'clock, and then we saw the main creators arriving one after another. In response to their greetings, Zhang Yuanjun said: "I have just arrived, practicing my sword practice and warming up."
Soon the makeup artist arrived, and Zhang Yuanjun followed him into the studio to put on makeup.
The crew is a very hierarchical place. The leading actor is treated like the leading actor, the supporting actor is treated like the supporting actor, and the supporting actor is treated like the supporting actor.
Zhang Yuanjun is a newcomer, and he tries his best to be humble and polite, but the crew does not lack the treatment he deserves as the protagonist.
He has no assistant or manager, and the crew also assigned him a temporary partner. She is a 20-year-old girl with ordinary appearance. She is from Hebei Province and graduated from a college. She has wanted to be a star since she was a child, but she does not have the talent or opportunity, so she can only hang out. Various crews.
She is one year older than Zhang Yuanjun, but Zhang Yuanjun calls her Xiao Zhao.
Zhang Yuanjun was sitting doing his makeup while Xiao Zhao was chatting with him, wanting to get familiar with him as soon as possible:
"I have loved watching TV since I was a child, and I want to be an actor. I want to work on the crew for two years, learn some acting skills, and save some money. When the time comes, I can sign up for a refresher course. How about the refresher course at your film school?"
"The teachers in the advanced training class are also our teachers, and they must be of sufficient quality. However, the tuition fee for the advanced training class is not cheap." Even Zhang Yuanjun found the tuition fee for the advanced training class to be too expensive and not cost-effective.
"That's why I said I need to save money for two years."
"Why didn't you apply for film school at that time?" The makeup artist was painting his eyebrows. "You have college scores, so your cultural scores should be enough."
Xiao Zhao muttered: "Isn't this because I failed the art exam? I didn't know what the art exam was about."
Co-author: This girl didn’t know anything and dared to sign up.
We chatted one after another, and the time passed quickly. Xiao Zhao told her about her situation, and Zhang Yuanjun also briefly introduced some things she should pay attention to when she was with him. He also explained some small habits and taboos to her in advance.
"Don't be nervous. We are all friends. If anything happens, we can discuss it." Zhang Yuanjun finally said with a smile.
There is no Zhang Yuanjun scene today. At the opening ceremony, he only needed a basic look for reporters to take pictures, so he was not given a hood.
After putting on makeup, Zhang Yuanjun looked in the mirror. Isn't this guy more handsome than Huo Jianhua?
Even assistant Xiao Zhao exaggerated Yuan Junshuai. The makeup artist said: "Your face is so well made up, no matter how you put it on, it will look good. The photographer will also like you, no matter how you take the photo, it will look good."
Before the boot time came, Zhang Yuanjun sat in the shed to rest.
After a while, Zhang Yuanjun's cell phone in Xiao Zhao's hand rang: "Liu Yifei!" Xiao Zhao looked at the caller ID and was very excited, "Do you still know Liu Yifei?" He handed the phone to Zhang Yuanjun.
Before answering the phone, Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "How strange, we are both in the same class, isn't it normal for me to have her phone number? Hello." Zhang Yuanjun answered the phone.
"On the set, filming starts today."
"I have no chance today."
"We're in a hurry. We only have less than three months to shoot the whole movie, and it will be completed in late June."
"Forget it, don't come. It will be troublesome if you bring a group of people here." Zhang Yuanjun rejected Liu Yifei's request to organize a group of classmates to visit his class in the future.
"Okay," Zhang Yuanjun wanted to hang up, but seeing the excitement on his little assistant's face, he said, "My assistant likes you very much, please tell her a few words."
He said turning on the speaker.
"Yifei, hello, I am Zhang Yuanjun's assistant Xiao Zhao."
"Ah, hello, hello." Liu Yifei greeted.
"I like your drama very much. I like both Bai Xiuzhu and Wang Yuyan." Now Liu Yifei is only good at these two roles. Although "Love in May" and "Love Winner" have not been released yet, they have started filming. and Liu Yifei's participation in the film did not arouse any response and were automatically ignored.
Liu Yifei also responded: "Thank you, thank you, I'm filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy" now, I want to watch it when it airs."
"I will definitely watch it." Assistant Xiao Zhao was very excited.
Someone was already urging me outside, saying that the actors were gathering for the opening ceremony.
"Okay, let's stop talking. I'm here to remind you. That's it, bye." Zhang Yuanjun hung up the phone and took Xiao Zhao out to gather.
The opening ceremony was very simple. Wang Jing gave a speech, director Deng Yancheng gave a speech, the investor sent a CEO to say a few words, and then led the creators to offer incense and unveil the red cloth.
During the interview after the opening ceremony, newcomer Zhang Yuanjun, who was temporarily out of action, became the focus of the media interview.
He is indeed not well-known, but he has caused some sensation before, and there is still some information about him that can be mined.
"Zhang Yuanjun, how do you feel about being able to play the leading role in this kind of production in your first play?"
"I'm very excited and grateful to the crew for giving me this opportunity."
Routine questions have routine answers.
"Someone said before that you brought money into the group. Do you have any response to this?"
"There was no response." Zhang Yuanjun said, "I just want to act well, this kind of thing is not what I care about."
I just want to act. As for how the role came about, I won’t say.
"So what are your expectations for this drama?"
"I hope I can perform well, and I also hope that the drama will receive huge ratings when it airs."
The reporter found that this young man was really difficult to deal with. He couldn't get enough cigarette oil and didn't want to be a raw melon egg at all.
After asking a few dry questions, seeing that they couldn't get anything out of him, the reporters had no choice but to give up.
It is worthy of a newcomer to give such a long interview time.
Zhang Yuanjun did not leave the scene, he really stood aside and watched others acting.
This was his first time joining the group, and he had to know the difference between actual filming and rehearsing in school.
After watching it for a day, I benefited a lot, and I didn’t leave until late.
"Xiao Zhao," Zhang Yuanjun pulled out five red hundred-yuan bills and told his assistant, "You will buy a good cigarette later and give it to Producer Cheng."
Xiao Zhao didn't ask why and agreed: "Okay, I'll send it over after dinner."
