The New Year is getting closer and the weather is getting colder.
After Zhang Chu's repeated requests, Hua An could only film the two scenes in which Zhang Chu cameo, no matter how reluctant he was.
There were only a few lines in total, so Zhang Chu had to wait for more than half a month.
After filming these two scenes, the time has come to the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the Spring Festival is only a few days away.
The crew of "Young Zhang Sanfeng" has decided not to take any holidays. When this news was announced, the crew also complained privately.
But there is no way, the work in the entertainment industry is like this, once you get busy, you have to step aside regardless of the year.
But there is also good news. I heard from Hua An that during the Spring Festival, as the boss of Tianmu Company, Andy Lau will come to the set to celebrate the New Year with everyone.
"Liu Dehua is coming, otherwise... don't leave either."
Fan Bingbing watched Zhang Chu packing his luggage and kept urging him.
It's a pity that what she said didn't appeal to Zhang Chu at all.
Zhang Chu knew Liu Dehua, but he wouldn't even go home during the Chinese New Year because of Liu Dehua.
Although there is no one waiting for him at home.
When I came to this era, I spent the first Spring Festival with Zhang Jingchu, and the second Spring Festival with Tang Wei.
But this year, one of the two went to Inner Mongolia to film, and the other went home to celebrate the New Year.
Zhang Chu became a loner again.
Although staying on the set would make the Chinese New Year more lively, after a busy year, Zhang Chu also wanted to take a break.
"Get familiar with the script and see you in Xiangjiang after the Chinese New Year."
Fan Bingbing knew that no matter how much he talked, it would be in vain. When Zhang Chu mentioned the script, he looked indifferent.
"I'm already familiar with it. I don't have many scenes anyway."
"Hurricane Rescue" is a male-led drama, and the main focus of the starring role is on the veteran Xiao Yan played by Zhang Chu.
The younger sister Xiao Li played by Fan Bingbing does not have many roles.
"If you don't like it, I'll talk to Sister Hua and let someone else play the role."
Zhang Chu is not a spoiled child. "Hurricane Rescue" is a big production.
Yongsheng had just released the news, and he didn't know how many people had recommended themselves.
Fan Bingbing can play the heroine, and Xiang Huaqiang and his wife also disliked Zhang Chu because of his reputation.
"you……"
Fan Bingbing was so angry that he kicked Zhang Chu's travel bag and walked away angrily.
Quite a temper.
Just as Fan Bingbing left, Xiao Ma came again: "Brother! Otherwise, you should go home with me!"
He was neglected last year. Today is about to celebrate the New Year, and Xiao Ma just remembers that Zhang Chu is alone in his family. How can he watch Zhang Chu, who is celebrating the New Year, alone and lonely.
"When you go home to celebrate the New Year, I'll follow you. When you get to the capital, you go home. I'm more comfortable alone."
In the past, Zhang Chu could not even pass the Spring Festival, but now it is just a return to the past, no big deal.
"How can I celebrate the New Year alone? Brother, listen to me. Let's go back to the Northeast together. Let me tell you, the Northeast is very lively during the New Year."
Xiao Ma spoke plainly, killing the New Year pig, and rushing to the big fair, which made Zhang Chu feel happy.
"By the way, every year our village invites a troupe to sing the duo, and people from eight surrounding villages come."
In short, in one sentence, the rural areas of Northeast China are lively during the Chinese New Year.
"Brother, please give me a nice word. Come or not, if you come home with me, I will call my dad right now. The New Year Pig will be killed after we get back."
After that, he added another sentence.
"My mother's butchered pork dishes are delicious."
Are you jealous of me?
"By the way, I can also take you to ski and see the ice lanterns."
After all the deception, Zhang Chu was finally moved.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone is reunited with their families, who wants to be alone in an igloo with a cold stove?
In the end, we will return to the capital first and then drive back to Northeast China.
The next day, before the rest of the crew got up, Zhang Chu took Xiao Ma to the train station.
"Here, year-end bonus."
As soon as he got in the car and settled down, Zhang Chu took out a particularly thick and large envelope from his pocket.
This is the hard work fee given by Hua An.
Although there is no pay for a guest appearance, the trip is never in vain.
Under normal circumstances, when leaving the group, the director will seal a red envelope to express his gratitude.
There is some knowledge about how much to give, and it should be less than the actor's usual salary. This is considered as receiving a favor from the actor, but it should not be too little, otherwise it is easy to offend others.
Hua An gave me 26666 yesterday for good luck.
Zhang Chu happened to use it to give Xiao Ma a year-end bonus.
"So many!"
Xiao Ma exclaimed, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all.
She weighed it in her hand and found that it equaled more than half a year's salary.
Nowadays, assistants around celebrities usually earn more than 1,000 yuan per month. If they meet generous artists, they will give them some extra pocket money, and it will never exceed 2,000 yuan.
Xiao Ma's salary is not fixed. Sometimes it is 3,000, and sometimes it can reach 5,000. It all depends on Zhang Chu's mood.
But even if it is 3,000, Xiao Ma is satisfied. The salary of white-collar workers in Beijing is now only about 1,000, with an average of more than 1,000. If you calculate it this way, she has already achieved a well-off life ahead of schedule.
"Thank you bro!"
"Cai Fan, stay here, I'll go out and have a cigarette."
Zhang Chu said as he left the box and walked outside to the smoking area. Seeing that there was no one there, he dialed Tang Wei's number.
Tang Wei went back to his hometown in Hangzhou as soon as the Chinese drama went on winter vacation. He originally thought that if Zhang Chu didn't return to the capital, she would come to visit the crew in a few days.
"Are you going to the Northeast?"
"Yeah! Xiao Ma insists that I go home with her to celebrate the New Year. It's hard to refuse such hospitality."
Tang Wei laughed when he heard this: "I'm afraid you think it's boring to celebrate the New Year alone, so you forced Jiajia to take you home for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
"What do you mean, do you think I'm so unpopular?"
"I didn't say that. No one else wants to see you, I just want to see you!"
Zhang Chu loved to hear this.
After chatting for a while, Tang Wei was going to attend a class reunion, and the two of them hung up the phone.
Then he called Zhang Jingchu.
She has already arrived in Inner Mongolia. The movie will start filming later this year, but the director asked Zhang Jingchu to go there early to experience life.
When Zhang Chu called, Zhang Jingchu had just finished milking the goat.
"are you tired?"
"good!"
Although tired, Zhang Jingchu felt that she had a fulfilling life every day. Although the material conditions of this place were not good, it was very quiet. Facing the endless prairie every day, her mood improved.
"Are you on the train?"
Zhang Jingchu heard the sound.
"Ready to return to the capital?"
"yes!"
"You... celebrate the New Year alone?"
Zhang Jingchu already knew about Tang Wei's existence. Thinking that Tang Wei would celebrate the New Year with Zhang Chu, she couldn't help but feel sore in her heart.
"No! Xiaoma and I will go back to the Northeast together."
When Zhang Chu said "no", Zhang Jingchu's heart was in her throat. After hearing the next words, she returned to her original position.
As long as it's not with Tang Wei.
After saying a few more words, Zhang Jingchu was going to herd sheep again with the landlord and his wife.
Snapped!
As soon as he lit the cigarette, the phone rang.
Fan Bingbing.
"you left?"
This sounds really depressing.
"gone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party hung up directly.
I don’t know which man will be able to endure this little temper in the future.
It's not that Zhang Chu couldn't see Fan Bingbing's thoughts, it was just that he instinctively regarded him as a child and never thought about it that way.
Moreover, Zhang Chu couldn't stand Fan Bingbing's temper tantrums from time to time.
Back in the box, Xiao Ma was lying on the bed.
"Brother, it's been a long time!"
"If you talk too much, your year-end bonus will be deducted."
Xiao Ma stuck out his tongue: "If you don't say it, don't say it."
This girl is like a mirror in her heart. Her master is good at everything, but he is just a bit carefree.
But this is not a big problem. There are so many messy things in the entertainment industry, so this little thing about Zhang Chu doesn't matter.
"elder brother!"
"What are you doing again?"
"What I want to say is business. Sister Hua has found a coach for you. When do you plan to start learning to drive?"
I almost forgot.
"We will learn when we come back from the Northeast."
When it comes to learning to drive, Zhang Chu is also a little curious.
"Xiao Ma, what did you learn when you were learning to drive?"
"It's a lot. You have to learn traffic rules first and drive on the road. Especially subject two is very difficult. It took me two tests to pass."
From what Xiao Ma said, it should be hands-on. As long as it's hands-on, Master Zhang can't be bothered.
"That's because you're too stupid."
Hey!
Xiao Ma was dissatisfied.
"Brother, if you can get over it once, I will obey you."
Who cares?
The train wandered all the way to the capital.
Zhang Chu took Xiao Ma back home first.
"Brother! Did you really buy this? It's so impressive!"
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xiao Ma fell in love immediately. Although it was not as big as the courtyard in her hometown in the countryside, the old courtyards in the capital were all very well built.
"You stay at home, I'll go out."
Someone arranged by Wang Jinghua comes to clean up the house every month. It is very clean and there is no need to clean it at all.
"Brother, you just got home and are going out?"
Xiao Ma was thinking, could Zhang Chu have other women in the capital besides Tang Wei, Zhang Jingchu, and Fan Bingbing?
"I'm going to see my apprentice. You stay at home and stay calm."
When Xiao Ma heard this, he also remembered that Zhang Chu did have a young apprentice.
The yard I rented before was not very far from here, and it only took ten minutes to walk there.
Grandma Zhang and Yunyun were not at home. After calling, they found out that their grandparents and grandson went to Western Xinjiang to celebrate the New Year this year.
After hearing this, Zhang Chu couldn't help but secretly thought it was a pity. It would have been better if he had come back a few days earlier.
In the future, he will become busier and busier, and the opportunities to meet his apprentice will become less and less. Maybe in two years, Yunyun will forget about him.
I called Wang Jinghua and the two made an appointment to meet.
"There has been no movement from Zhang Yimou, but I have agreed with him to give him a month to work on the drama next year, and then let me know when he has made adjustments."
Zhang Chu has been thinking about this play. Although he can only play a supporting role in it, this is Zhang Yimou's play after all, and he still values it very much.
"During the Chinese New Year, you...are alone?"
"Xiao Ma and I will go back to the Northeast together."
Then he told Wang Jinghua what Xiao Ma said about how lively the Northeast is during the New Year.
"Hearing what you say, I want to go with you."
It's a pity that she still has a large family here.
When Zhang Chu gets married, he will no longer be able to be so carefree.
When thinking of marriage, Wang Jinghua thought of Fan Bingbing.
I don’t know if these two people are destined to be together.
