Sichuan!
Zhang Chu had been here once before. At that time, he didn't see the scene of fertile fields and thousands of miles of fertile land in Zhongtian Mansion. All he saw was depression and the people's livelihood was in decline.
The Ming Dynasty seemed to have been cursed since the Wanli dynasty, with constant natural and man-made disasters, domestic rogues causing chaos, and Liaodong Jianqiu keeping an eye on it.
After experiencing several unreliable emperors, the Ming Dynasty finally ushered in a diligent emperor. The ZTE that was supposed to start was abruptly cut off.
In the end, China was lost, and foreigners took over the Central Plains.
After Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, Sichuan was full of people, killing less than 100,000 people out of Sichuan's population of more than 5 million.
Now this is his second visit, Zhang Chu has truly seen the scene of the prosperous age, and all traces of his previous life have disappeared.
The crew first arrived in Chengdu. Because they had to shoot in Mount Emei, they also needed to coordinate with the local cultural and tourism departments. These things should have been done in advance, but somehow something went wrong.
In the past two days, Wen Weiji, who was the chief director, was also anxious and angry. This was his first work as the chief director, and as a result, there were such big mistakes in his work.
You know, there are hundreds of people in the entire crew, and the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation every day is not a small sum of money.
Although this drama is supported by Zhou Linggang's Feiteng Pictures and Hong Kong's ATV, the unnecessary expenses cannot be explained to investors.
"It looks like there's no hope today again."
By the time it was almost noon, I still hadn’t received the notice to set off, so obviously nothing could be done today.
Because Zhang Weijian was not used to the local climate, his throat started to swell and hurt in just two days, and he had difficulty speaking. Now he just wants to finish the filming here as soon as possible and return to the capital as soon as possible.
Zhang Chu didn't care. His past life experience made him adapt to the environment very quickly. Whether it was the ice and snow in the north or the hot and humid rainy season in the south, it would not affect him.
"It's almost noon. Are you going to eat in the hotel or go out and find a place?"
The crew is on hold, and others are anxiously waiting, but Zhang Chu is happy and at ease. He has been around all over the past few days.
You know where there are good views and which restaurants are delicious.
Only those who have truly seen the scene in the past when human lives were like ants and mountains and rivers were devastated will cherish the current prosperity even more.
Everywhere he went, Zhang Chu couldn't wait to see more, for fear that one day he would wake up and return to the Ming Dynasty.
He continued to live a bloody and precarious life. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, Zhang Chu didn't know how to deal with the irreversible trend.
"I won't go, my throat hurts so much!"
After Zhang Weijian finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs.
Zheng Guolin wanted to go, but his girlfriend called and said she was coming today, so naturally she didn't have time.
Not to mention Li Tingyi and He Meitian, one is still angry with Zhang Chu, and the other is wary of Zhang Chu.
Since they are not going, Zhang Chu is happy and relaxed by himself.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Huizhu stopped Zhang Chu.
"Director Li, is something wrong?"
Li Huizhu said nothing, but pulled Zhang Chu aside.
Still mysterious.
"I want to ask you a personal question. If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer it."
Zhang Chu smiled, and hearing this tone, it seemed as if he could not answer.
"Is there any misunderstanding between you and Li Tingyi?"
Zhang Chu heard the words and smiled helplessly: "Director Li, haven't you heard some rumors?"
These words made Li Huizhu embarrassed.
"Don't think too much, I don't mean anything else."
Zhang Chu had a frank look on his face: "There is nothing between her and me. We are not together, and I have never given up. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Li Huizhu was gagged by Zhang Chu's words. She knew that there was no need for Zhang Chu to lie to her about this matter. If she thought about it carefully, the things that the crew spread privately were not reliable to begin with.
It has only been more than a month since the filming of this drama started. No matter how clever Zhang Chu’s methods are, they cannot be so fast.
Chase people first, then abandon them.
What are you picturing?
In order to show off his charm, he ended up with a bad reputation.
"I will deal with those rumors. Now I want to tell you something else."
After hearing this, Zhang Chu asked casually: "Is it related to Li Tingyi?"
Li Huizhu nodded and continued: "The main thing we will shoot here next is the emotional scenes between Hong Xiguan and Yan Yongchun. Have you...ever filmed emotional scenes?"
As he was talking, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Chu was a newcomer. He had only filmed two TV series and his experience was basically zero.
Emotional drama?
Zhang Chu immediately thought of the bridge confession scene he filmed with Jia Jingwen.
It's been such a long time, and now I can't help but get goosebumps when I think about it.
"It can be considered a photo shoot!"
What does "also count" mean?
"Now that I've filmed it, you should be able to understand what I'm going to say next. When an actor performs, it's not just about acting. I need to have some real feelings in it. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
almost!
Li Huizhu should be talking about the sense of substitution, putting the actor's own emotions into the performance.
Cui Chenggong had explained to him before when he was on the set of "Little Li Flying Knife".
"So, I need you and Li Tingyi to find a feeling of love when performing."
What?
Who is in love with whom?
Li Huizhu ignored Zhang Chu's reaction and continued: "But your relationship seems to be a bit tense now. I don't ask why. I have to give you a task now to coax her back. I don't want to wait until I film the relationship between you two." During the play, Yan Yongchun looked at Hong Xiguan as if he was looking at the enemy who killed his father."
Coax a woman?
In the past, this would not have been difficult for Mr. Zhang. If the gold and silver were scattered, no matter how proud the oiran lady was, she would obediently make the bed and spread the quilt and rush to spend the night with him.
Times have changed now, and women are no longer the vassals of men. If you try to coax women with money, you will only bring humiliation to yourself.
But Zhang Chu doesn't behave like a poor scholar who is gentle and careless.
"I don't care how to do it. I only care about the result. Before filming the emotional scene between Hong Xiguan and Yan Yongchun, you must clear up even if there is a big misunderstanding."
After Li Huizhu finished speaking, she ignored Zhang Chu and turned around and walked towards Li Tingyi. She didn't know what she said. Li Tingyi's eyes suddenly widened, and then she looked towards Zhang Chu.
Soon, the crew members in the hotel lobby gradually dispersed. Some went back to their rooms to rest, while others went out to play together. In the end, only Zhang Chu and Li Tingyi were left.
Seeing Li Tingyi sitting on the sofa in the corner of the hall, hugging her shoulders, crossing her legs, turning her head without even looking at him.
Quite arrogant!
Zhang Chu only found it funny.
However, what Li Huizhu explained really stumped Mr. Zhang.
The director gave the order, but he had to do it. Even if it is a superficial peace, it must be achieved as soon as possible. Otherwise, when filming restarts, Li Huizhu may not be able to pass the test.
Li Huizhu is responsible for the literary and drama aspects of this TV series, and this woman is famous for being rigorous.
Thinking about it, Zhang Chu walked straight over and sat opposite Li Tingyi.
"I didn't agree!"
Li Tingyi suddenly said something.
"Promise what?"
Li Tingyi turned back and looked at Zhang Chu.
"It's just... what Sister Huizhu told me, I don't want to date you, even if it's fake."
Dating?
Where did you start talking about this?
etc!
Zhang Chu understood what Li Huizhu was planning.
Previously, the crew filmed an emotional scene between Fang Shiyu and Ling Xiaoxiao. Because the two could not find the feeling, the effect of the performance made even Zhang Chu feel embarrassed.
So, Li Huizhu specially gave them a day off and let the two of them go on a date, saying that this way they could develop a relationship.
I don’t know if it really worked. After that day, when the two acted again, they did improve a lot.
Later, Zhang Weijian told Zhang Chu that he and He Meitian went to the capital that day and spent a day playing wildly in the amusement park.
Is Li Huizhu planning to repeat her old tricks?
What a bad idea!
Zhang Weijian and He Meitian had worked together before at TVB, but they were not familiar with each other, so Zhang Weijian took her out for a day to eliminate the strangeness, and the relationship was naturally closer.
But the situations of Zhang Chu and Li Tingyi are different.
Originally there was some estrangement due to misunderstanding.
Li Huizhu didn't want to help resolve the misunderstanding in the middle, but insisted on bringing the two of them together.
Do you really think that this method will be tried and tested?
"Relax, no matter it is true or false, I will treat you..."
"What do you want to say?"
Before Zhang Chu could finish speaking, Li Tingyi's eyes became sharp again.
Seeing this, Zhang Chu decided not to irritate the woman.
"Let's not talk about anything else. I'm going out to find a place to eat now. Let's go together?"
Li Tingyi frowned and hesitated for a long time. Thinking of what Li Huizhu said just now, she finally nodded reluctantly.
Just pretend.
The two of them walked out of the hotel door one after another.
In Chengdu in July, the scorching heat of the year has begun, and the sun is so bright that it makes people dizzy.
"Hey, have you made a good choice?"
After walking for a long time, she passed by no less than ten restaurants, but Zhang Chu had no intention of going in. Li Tingyi finally couldn't stand it anymore.
On such a hot day, which woman would be willing to sweat outside in the sun.
Zhang Chu stopped and looked back at Li Tingyi.
"Can't you eat spicy food?"
Well……
Li Tingyi was stunned, but she didn't expect Zhang Chu to still remember.
"Whatever! I'm not very hungry!"
After hearing what Li Tingyi said, Zhang Chu turned around and entered a hot pot restaurant.
Hello! I'm just saying that.
I really can’t eat spicy food!
But after walking for so long, and it was noon, Li Tingyi was already tired and hungry.
Sichuan hot pot……
Thinking of the red pot of soup, Li Tingyi felt that her stomach was already on fire, but Zhang Chu had already entered. She was unfamiliar with this place, and she didn't know the way back to the hotel.
After hesitating for a moment, he followed in.
"Hey you……"
As soon as she came in, Li Tingyi saw Zhang Chuzheng surrounded by several little girls, all of whom looked excited and shouted...
Xiao Jian!
