The crew of "The Best in the World" has two directors and two assistant directors (deputy directors). If the producer Wang Jing does not leave the show, all the scenes in "The Best in the World" will be completed by these four directors.

Zhang Yuanjun also thought too much. Except for the opening ceremony and opening banquet on the first day, Wang Jing never appeared on the set.

They have "Little Fish and Flowers" that they want to direct.

On the second day of filming, the four directors were divided into three groups and each led people to shoot.

Zhang Yuanjun stayed in Deng Yancheng's group, and with him were Deng Chao, Ye Xuan, and Li Jianyi.

Zhang Yuanjun became acquainted with Deng Chao as soon as possible. Both of them were from Gan Province.

"I'm from Hongdu."

"I'm Luling."

"It's okay, we're all from Gan Province." The popularity of "The Young Emperor" opened up the situation for Deng Chao, and now he is a well-known young actor.

When fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, both of them are very happy. After learning that Zhang Yuanjun was still a sophomore, Deng Chao was even more impressed by the young man in front of him.

Zhang Yuanjun felt that others were looking at him strangely in the past few days on the set.

Newcomers are always looked down upon on the crew, not to mention that Zhang Yuanjun is still a newcomer with no acting experience and is extremely new.

To put it bluntly, no one spoke to Zhang Yuanjun except Deng Chao and Li Jianyi after the show or during the break.

Zhang Yuanjun felt isolated by most of the group.

He didn't think it was anything. He had no role now. It didn't matter whether he talked to him or not, as long as it didn't delay his normal filming.

Moreover, Zhang Yuanjun really learned a lot of things that could not be learned in the classroom through observing other people's performances on the set these days, and humbly asking Deng Chao and Li Jianyi for advice.

For example, when a hero appears on stage, he will look more handsome when he stands slightly sideways - at this time, you can also add an eye-raising movement yourself.

In the lens, especially close-ups and close-ups, try not to blink unless necessary, otherwise it will destroy the beauty.

Zhang Yuanjun silently remembered it, went back to the hotel in the evening and practiced it alone in front of the mirror several times, and felt that it really made sense.

After waiting for a week, according to the schedule, Zhang Yuanjun's scene will finally be officially filmed today.

Zhang Yuanjun was very excited and brought his assistant Xiao Zhao to the scene early.

The two sat in the dressing room chatting, and Xiao Zhao encouraged him, saying that he would definitely be able to perform well.

However, Zhang and Zhao were chatting until their mouths were dry, but the makeup artist didn't come.

At the beginning, Zhang Yuanjun also understood that the makeup artist might think that he would not arrive on time, so he came later.

But when the on-site producers began to rush the actors, Zhang Yuanjun realized there was a problem.

The assistant Xiao Zhao was attentive and took the initiative to go outside and take a look.

He came back ten minutes later and said angrily: "The other actors are all wearing makeup, but we are not. It's obvious that we are bullying people."

Zhang Yuanjun sat firmly on the Diaoyutai: "You are not in a hurry when filming, and we are even less in a hurry when acting." He took out his earphones and listened to the song without paying attention to anything else.

Xiao Zhao didn't have such a good attitude as Zhang Yuanjun, so she went out to find a makeup artist again.

But her efforts were doomed to be in vain, as all the makeup artists said they were too busy to spare their time.

Xiao Zhao had already greeted the makeup artist assigned to him at the startup ceremony in advance last night, but today he was nowhere to be seen and couldn’t get through on the phone.

Xiao Zhao returned to the shed in frustration and sat next to Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun took off his headphones and asked, "How is it?"

Xiao Zhao shook his head: "They ignored me and said they didn't have time to come over."

Within two minutes, Deng Chao came in and asked, "Yuanjun, is your makeup artist here?"

"No, what about you?" Zhang Yuanjun saw that Deng Chao also had a plain face.

"My makeup artist didn't come either, it's strange today." Today is also Deng Chao's first day on stage.

After a while, more chaotic sounds were heard outside the studio, and director Deng Yancheng could be clearly heard cursing: "I want someone now, what kind of actor!"

"You won't arrive early if you're too busy."

"Who approved the leave! I don't know how heavy the task is. My father is dead and now I'm asking for leave!"

All the ugly things were said.

Zhang Yuanjun only thought it was funny when he heard it, and Deng Chao also reacted at this time.

"The Best in the World" was also his first time working with a team from Hong Kong and Taiwan. He had long heard that Hong Kong and Taiwan looked down on mainlanders even if they went north to film.

I didn't expect that such a bloody thing would happen to me.

I also knew that it must be the makeup artist who wanted to give Zhang Yuanjun a showdown.

You stuffed two packs of cigarettes at the startup ceremony and you want me to do something for you?

Even after smoking your cigarette, I still despise you.

As for the Deng Dynasty, no matter how famous he was, he was still a country bumpkin.

Zhang Yuanjun put away the headphones and said to Deng Chao: "I'm afraid we won't be able to shoot today."

Zhang Yuanjun was happy to have an extra day of rest. But it didn't seem to go as he wished. Deng Chao was quickly called away, and a makeup artist was free to apply makeup on him.

Within ten minutes, Zhang Yuanjun's "exclusive" makeup artist arrived at the scene panting and carrying a box.

He did not dare to face the director's anger, so he only said hello to the on-site coordinator, saying that he was delayed by something today and that he would put makeup on the actors immediately.

The on-site coordinator went to appease the director.

The makeup artist opened the curtain and saw Zhang Yuanjun sitting there with his legs crossed, and his teeth were itching with hatred.

His original plan was to hang out with the Yankee for a few hours. He was so young, he would definitely not be able to sit still. By then, everyone else would start putting on makeup, and if he didn't put on makeup, there would definitely be trouble.

After he caused a scene on the set, he appeared at the right time, put on the airs of a senior and taught him a lesson: "Young people should calm down. New actors can't afford to wait for this time, so how can they become popular in the future."

The most he could do was apologize for being late, and he was the one who caused the drama and was embarrassed.

But I didn't expect that this Yankee could sit still so well. He just sat there without shouting or making a fuss without a makeup artist.

As a result, his wishful thinking fell through, and he even got scolded by the director.

When Zhang Yuanjun saw someone coming, he didn't care why the makeup artist came now, but he knew that this guy was not a good guy, so he said hello with a smile: "He just came now."

The guy smiled awkwardly: "Something happened, let's start putting on makeup."

He had just been scolded, but he didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Yuanjun's makeup, and finished his makeup honestly.

But after putting on makeup and walking out of the studio, Zhang Yuanjun lowered his head and said to his assistant: "Tell the producer to find another makeup artist for me in the future."

Xiao Zhao's puzzled eyes only flashed for a second before he understood, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it later."

Zhang Yuanjun didn't believe that if something like this happened, he would still put on makeup for himself honestly.

Just look at Shu Chang and you will know the fate of "offending" a makeup artist.

After all, I also brought money to join the group, so a simple request like changing a makeup artist should be met.

Zhang Yuanjun dressed up and asked the director to report.

"Okay, the look is good, handsome and cool. Get ready, we'll start shooting right away."
