Zhang Chu had been very comfortable in the past half month. Although it was dull, it made him truly feel at home.
Every day she either teaches Yunyun martial arts, follows Zhang Jingchu to the crew to submit her resume, or stays with Grandma Zhang and listens to the old man telling stories about those years.
Occasionally we go out to have a meal together and take Yunyun to the amusement park. If we don't explain it specifically, anyone who sees it will think that this is a family of four, three generations of grandparents.
But this relaxing little life was destined to be short-lived. When Zhang Chu received a call from Wen Weiji, he was about to join the crew for filming again.
Zhang Jingchu also decided to go back to her hometown. She had been away for several years. Apart from occasional phone calls, she had not seen her parents for a long time.
"contacting via phone!"
Zhang Chu waved his hand and watched Zhang Jingchu check in and enter the station until she disappeared, then turned and left the station.
I got into a taxi, reported my location, and then rushed to Huairou on the outskirts of Beijing.
The crew of "Young Hero Fang Shiyu" is based there.
His hair, which was a little rough just now, is about to be lost, and Mr. Zhang is extremely sad.
The car arrived at a place called Yangsong Town. The crew of "Huan Zhuge Ge" had previously filmed here, and Zhang Chu was no stranger to it.
Speaking of which, the film and television base here was built before Hengdian. It broke ground in 1995 and was put into use for the first time in 1996.
The name also has "Feiteng" in it, so it's obvious who the investor is.
Zhang Chu quickly found the crew, a large antique house, with a plaque hanging on the door and two big words - Fang Mansion!
When you see these two words, you know that the historical consultant of the film crew was hired in vain.
In ancient times, only the residences of officials or prominent local families could be called mansions, while ordinary homes could only be called residences.
In the play, Fang Shiyu's family has been doing business for generations. Anyone with a little common sense should know that the status of merchants, farmers, and merchants was very low in ancient times.
In some dynasties, children of merchants were not even allowed to take the imperial examination.
Merchants' houses were not even allowed to hang plaques, otherwise it would be a crime of trespass.
Are all the local officials blind when it is labeled "Fangfu" in such a grand manner?
After asking a staff member, Zhang Chu found Wen Weiji.
Pushing the door open and entering the group, there was a row of people sitting against the wall, all with bald heads. The scene looked like they were waiting to be identified and then taken to the execution ground for execution.
When he was still in Hengdian, Zhang Chu asked Lu Feng about the actors in this drama.
I know that the male protagonist is a Hong Kong actor named Zhang Weijian, and the female protagonist is a mainlander who developed in Hong Kong. She was originally an athlete and became an actress after retiring.
leftover……
None of them match up.
"You're here just in time, Zhang Chu, find a place to sit by yourself."
When Wen Weiji saw Zhang Chu coming in, he pointed at the group of bald heads waiting to be shot and motioned for Zhang Chu to sit over.
Everyone was looking at Zhang Chu curiously. When they saw him approaching, some smiled politely, while others seemed not to see him.
Zhang Chu didn't care, nodded with a smile, then found an empty seat and sat down.
Snap, snap, snap!
Wen Weiji clapped his hands, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"Okay, most of the people are here, and some actors will join us one after another due to their schedules."
Wen Weji's Mandarin is really not that bad. If you don't listen carefully, you won't know what he is talking about.
"Come on, let's get to know each other first, Jianzi, starting with you."
The baby-faced boy sitting next to Zhang Chu stood up.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Weijian. I play Fang Shiyu in the play. I hope everyone will take care of me. Thank you!"
After speaking, he sat down and turned to Zhang Chu and smiled, appearing very friendly.
The one Lu Feng talked about the most before was Zhang Weijian.
Not long after his debut, he quickly became popular, with movies, TV series, and records released, and his film and television songs flourished in three areas. He was also praised by the media as Zhou Xingchi's successor.
But not long after he became popular, he gradually became disliked by the audience because of his deliberate imitation of Zhou Xingchi's performance style and his excessive exposure. Especially Zhou Xingchi's fans were very resistant to his imitation of his idol's performance style.
At this time, the media again broke the news that Zhang Weijian was acting like a big name when he was on the set, demanding high salary, and all kinds of dirty information directly buried him.
Fortunately, Zhou Linggang admired Zhang Weijian very much and invited him to film in Baodao. After several works, he gradually became popular.
Later, he starred in the Taiwanese celebration drama "Journey to the West" of his old employer TVB, winning the love of the audience again.
But he seemed to be born with a dark constitution, and it wasn't long before the media revealed that he got drunk in a nightclub and had a private meeting with a mysterious rich woman.
Although the photo was blurry, the media didn't care whether it was him or not. As long as it could stimulate sales, they could write whatever they wanted.
Zhang Chu didn't think that literati could do great things before, but he realized it after listening to Lu Feng's story.
These literati used their pens to punish people more harshly than he, a royal guard.
At least Jin Yiwei did it openly even if he wanted to give in, but Literary Man wanted to destroy someone without even using a knife.
After being hacked in Xiangjiang and having nothing to do, it was Zhou Linggang who pulled Zhang Weijian's hand again this time.
"Zhang Chu, play Hong Xiguan!"
Zhang Chu’s self-introduction was still concise and concise.
Afterwards, the actors signed up one by one, Zheng Guolin to play Hu Huiqian and Lu Xingyu to play Tong Qianjin.
There are actors from the Mainland, Baodao, and Xiangjiang. It can be seen from the composition of the cast that the investors are very ambitious for this drama.
Then it was the turn of the actresses, and the first to stand up was the quietest one.
"Hello everyone, my name is He Meitian. I play Ling Xiaoxiao in the play. I hope everyone will take care of me."
After saying that, he pursed his lips and smiled, which made a good impression. Looking at it, Zhang Chu felt like... a large Yunyun.
I don’t know what that little girl is doing now.
Did he practice on time when he was not around?
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Tingyi, from Baodao, and I play Yan Wing Chun in the play."
Zhang Chu heard this and looked over. This is Hong Xiguan's official partner in the play. There are many emotional scenes between the two in the script.
The eyes are very big, giving people a very smart feeling, and they are... very much like a little swallow.
It's not that they look alike, but... they feel like it.
They are all big-eyed beauties.
Sensing Zhang Chu's gaze, Li Tingyi didn't hesitate and smiled at him.
They should be easy to get along with!
After all the actors were introduced, Wen Weiji briefly said something about unity and cooperation.
Actors come from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and their living habits and working methods are very different. There will naturally be bumps and bumps in the future, so take precautions in advance to avoid trouble later.
In short, please be honest, focus on filming, and don't cause any messy troubles.
Then the venue manager assigned rooms to the actors. The conditions here in Huairou were average. After all, unlike Hengdian, a star scenic spot built with various policy supports from the province and city, complete with various supporting facilities.
Zhang Chu moved into the guest house where the cast of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" had stayed, sharing a room with Zheng Guolin. This arrangement was probably because both of them were mainland actors.
As soon as we settled in, the makeup artist from the production crew came over. Her hair could not be saved, so she shaved it off in three or two strokes, and her eyebrows were reshaped.
After putting on big braids and wearing a coarse costume, he was taken to a room and photographed for half an hour, making everyone dizzy.
In early June, the weather had begun to get hot, but when Zhang Chu came out of the room, he still felt a chill on his scalp. He always felt that his mother, who had been dead for many years, and his dead father who he had never met were staring at him.
Parents, please forgive me for being unfilial.
Zhang Chu bowed in all directions, just asking for peace of mind.
"What are you doing?"
Well?
Zhang Chu turned around and saw Li Tingyi and He Meitian standing behind him. The two beauties were looking at him curiously.
this……
Because I lost my hair, I apologized to my parents and God from a distance. Can you understand?
"It's a matter of personal habits and it's hard to explain."
Although the two were curious, they didn't ask any questions. On the first day they met, they still had to have some sense of boundaries.
Just looking at Zhang Chu's eyes, there was something inexplicable.
Zhang Chu didn't know that on the first day he joined the group, he was labeled neurotic by the two leading ladies.
If he found out, he would definitely be ashamed and angry to death.
The next day, the crew started working, and the first scene was naturally with the male lead Fang Shiyu.
After Zhang Chu put on makeup, he watched from the sidelines. Like the previous two dramas, he wanted to confirm the performance style.
Only then can we decide whether the play should be released or closed.
However, after only watching one scene, Zhang Chu decisively gave up on style unity.
Zhang Weijian's acting style would not be able to be learned by him for another 10 years of practice.
Exaggerated body movements, rich expression changes, and ups and downs of narration, because Tian Niu, who plays opposite him, is also an actress from Xiangjiang. They both spoke Cantonese and did not understand a word.
"Zhang...Master Zhang!"
Zhang Chugang was about to leave, but as he continued to watch, he was worried that he would be taken astray and would not know how to act when he appeared on the stage.
Suddenly he heard someone calling him.
This familiar title immediately reminded Zhang Chu of a flat face with a head of yellow hair.
"Master Zhang, it's really you!"
Zhang Chu was still looking for him in the crowd when a person walked directly in front of him. His golden hair looked particularly eye-catching.
Ah!
They are really old acquaintances.
Huang Mao had a flattering smile on his face, and his enthusiasm almost overflowed.
"Master Zhang, you are... so popular!"
Although Zhang Chu didn't want to see this guy who was bullying and trying to get money from the poor, but he couldn't hit the smiling man, so he couldn't choke this old acquaintance as soon as they met.
"How can I see it?"
Well……
His speech was still the same as before, like a historical drama.
"Needless to say! This show is a big production and there are many big stars. You must be famous here!"
Huang Mao kept rubbing his hands with excitement on his face.
My fortune has turned around!
Even though he had conflicts with Zhang Chu before, he later treated Zhang Chu as his own father.
They are old acquaintances again, so it’s only natural to take care of them!
"Have you met Huang Bo?"
After returning to the capital, there was no contact. Zhang Chu remembered this old friend now.
"You said that was ugly...Brother Huang! I've seen him, I've seen him, but I didn't come with him this time. Instead, my brother who has been with him all day is here. I'll bring him over to you."
What else to bring!
Zhang Chu turned around and saw Wang Baoqiang in the crowd waving to him.
"Brother!"
"Who's talking on the street? Don't you know you're filming?"
Wen Weiji roared, Huang Mao turned pale with fright, he was the one who brought this street boy.
"Master Zhang, this...is not my fault!"
