"That's weird, how did you know I'm here?"
"Okay, it's been a long time since we last saw each other in the snowy mountains."
"Perfect! Just wait for me and I'll come to you right away."
After saying that, Wen Yan happily hung up the phone.
It wasn't until she faced Shen Jinghe's unhappy face that she restrained her smile.
"Hey, I'm sorry, second brother, I seem to have an appointment. Can you share that sushi with your assistant?"
"Who?" Shen Jinghe said with a straight face, "For whom are you abandoning me who is already right in front of you?"
"Hehe, it's Jiang Wanwan. By coincidence, she happened to be in this hotel too. She knew I was here, so she asked me to meet."
Shen Jinghe frowned and said in a sour tone: "How did she know you were here? Weren't you driving the whole time just now? You were on the phone with the fourth child and sending messages to the boss. You still had time to chat with her?"
"No! She saw the post you posted and recognized me at a glance."
"Hmph, I value my friends over my brothers."
"There's nothing I can do. It's easier to meet my brother more frequently. By the way, don't you know she's staying in the same hotel as you?"
"Why should I know? There are too many colleagues staying in this hotel."
"Okay! If you don't object, I'll take it as your consent. Bye!"
Shen Jinghe snorted: "It's really hard to have a meal with you, so get out of here, out of sight."
What a coincidence, Jiang Wanwan lives downstairs from Shen Jinghe.
When Wen Yan went down, the fried chicken and cola ordered by Jiang Wanwan had just arrived.
"When you were on the snowy mountain, you were dreaming about fried chicken legs. You probably haven't eaten them yet when you came back, right?"
"How did you know?" Wen Yan quickly went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She couldn't wait.
"You guessed it, your family will definitely prepare a sumptuous meal for you when you get home, and then you will join the filming team, and you will have to eat boxed lunches every day, and maybe have to control your weight. So I guess you should be If you don’t have a chance to eat fried chicken, I’ll give you both legs today.”
"Wow," Wen Yan immediately hugged Jiang Wanwan, "You are so kind. You are also my family. But I can't eat alone. There is one chicken drumstick for each of us."
As Wen Yan spoke, she put on gloves and pulled off the two chicken legs.
The two chatted while eating.
Wen Yan was a little curious: "I made myself into a rice dumpling today. My second brother didn't realize it was me at first. How did you recognize me based on a photo?"
"Because of your second brother, the updates on his social media are usually either for promotion or business. This is the first time he has posted a photo with his fans, which shows that the person in the photo is very special. Coupled with your big eyes, I can see I knew it was you."
"Well," Wen Yan nodded, "that makes sense, and the analysis is correct. Do you want a Coke? I'll put the straw in for you."
"Well, thank you. Are you currently filming "Palace Wall Lock"?"
"Hey, yes, I'll be in tears if I talk too much."
"It doesn't matter. I have no shortage of tissues and shoulders."
"Huh?" Wen Yan put down the Coke and looked at Jiang Wanwan, "I noticed that you have become humorous. Then I will complain to you. This is what happened..."
Wen Yan briefly explained Fu Yiqing's joining the team, his role change and the director's strike.
Jiang Wanwan raised her eyebrows after hearing this: "It turns out that what they said is true. I thought there was some exaggeration in it."
"What do you mean? Have you also heard about this crew?"
"Yes, in fact, my team also received an invitation from this crew."
"Invitation? Then what did they ask you to play? There should be no major roles now."
"One of the heroines, Li Fei. She is the character that Fu Yiqing stole from you."
"!!! Is it true?" The corners of Wen Yan's mouth began to rise uncontrollably, "Then you must not hesitate and agree immediately!
“Although I didn’t have a direct conflict with her, she really affected the work progress of the entire crew.
"I really didn't expect it. I thought the crew would protect her, but I didn't expect to replace her so quickly. It only happened yesterday, and she is gone today."
Jiang Wanwan chuckled: "You are so excited. It seems that person is really annoying. I have read the script and I think it is pretty good."
"I also think that otherwise I wouldn't have accepted this role. No wonder her agent came to the film and television base here. It turns out that her job was compromised."
"Today, did you meet here?"
"Yes," Wen Yan couldn't help complaining again when facing her friend, "She actually drove with me for dozens of kilometers because of a hair tie I accidentally dropped. At first, I thought I was being followed. .”
"Isn't a hair tie enough?"
"I think so too. Then do you want to agree to play this role? Otherwise, just agree. This script is good, and we can work together. With your joining, I believe this drama will be a big hit!"
"You just believe me?"
"That's right!" She is the heroine. How could a drama in which she is the protagonist not be popular? "You are a complete guarantee of ratings!"
Although she knew it was a polite comment, Jiang Wanwan was happy to hear it.
"I will agree to your words. I will wrap up the filming tonight. If the crew is ready, I believe we can meet again soon."
"Perfect!" Wen Yan happily raised the Coke, "Come and do one!"
-
The next day Wen Yan received a notice to return to the set.
She and Jiang Wanwan arrived in front of each other.
As soon as he entered the set, the director came to greet him personally.
Wen Yan was very happy to see the director come back.
Wen Yan congratulated the director: "It's great to have you back, director. This shows that the film crew is still smart and knows what kind of people should be fought for and what kind of people should not be retained."
However, the expression on the director's face after hearing this sentence was hard to describe.
He raised his chin in a certain direction, and then Wen Yan saw Fu Yiqing, who had put on his costume and was lying on a chair playing with his mobile phone.
Wen Yan and Jiang Wanwan were both a little surprised when they saw this.
"What's going on?" Wen Yan and Jiang Wanwan looked at each other, then looked at the director.
"Hasn't she been replaced? Why did the party invite Wanwan here? Isn't it a prank?"
"No, the producer didn't mean that. The role of Li Fei is still played by Wanwan. As for Fu Yiqing, she has not been kicked out. Her resources are now downgraded and she plays the role of Princess He Jing."
Princess He Jing is another important female character in this drama, and her role is second only to the two protagonists.
"What about the actor who originally played Princess He Jing?"
"Out."
"Okay." Wen Yan frowned slightly and looked around.
Upon seeing this, the director followed Wen Yan and glanced around: "Who are you looking for, the actor? She has been informed not to come."
Wen Yan could guess this result.
She shook her head: "No, I'm not looking for her, I'm just taking a look."
In fact, she was subconsciously looking for Qin Yulong just now.
If someone asked her why she was looking for it, she probably wouldn't be able to tell the reason.
-
Once the roles were changed, many scenes had to be reshot.
But the director and most of the actors were professionals, and everyone got into the mood quickly.
Wen Yan and Jiang Wanwan's acting skills are both top-notch, and the director is also very good at communicating with the actors, so everything is basically the same.
They had a great time acting, and the director had a great time filming it.
Fu Yiqing, who had a problem with the director and changed roles three times in a row, was even more emotional.
Although the director did not deliberately embarrass her, she would not receive praise even if she passed the test.
After such a comparison, Fu Yiqing felt extremely unbalanced, and that dissatisfaction spread to Jiang Wanwan.
She believed that Jiang Wanwan had stolen the role from her, and she was holding her breath with nowhere to go.
And today's scene gave her an opportunity.
Concubine Li, played by Jiang Wanwan, was a palace maid in the early stage. In one scene, she was whipped by a drunken princess.
Although Jiang Wanwan's back was padded with a board, it still hurt a little when the whip was really applied.
Usually when filming this kind of scene, the opposing actors will try their best to avoid mistakes, otherwise every retake will cause harm to the actor who was beaten. Everyone has this kind of self-consciousness.
But Fu Yiqing didn't. She failed several times during a whipping scene.
Jiang Wanwan tolerated it the first three times. After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
But by the fourth time, Fu Yiqing was still like this.
The director couldn't sit still at first: "How did you get Miss Fu to do this? This is a horse whip, not a long whip. Is it difficult to hit it accurately with this short whip?"
"If your accuracy is so bad, then stop taking pictures and find someone else. I won't take pictures of your face. Now you can go aside and watch and learn, okay?"
Seeing the director defending Jiang Wanwan, Fu Yiqing felt even more unhappy.
"Director, what you said is too unprofessional. This shot is not suitable for editing. I don't think there is a problem with my accuracy. It's just that my expression management at the end was not very good, so I wanted to reshoot it. This is a sign of responsibility to the crew.”
"Are you still responsible for the crew?" The director laughed angrily, "Do you really not know how much time the crew was wasted because of you? It's ridiculous. You don't need to reshoot, the one just now is considered passed. Next scene Prepare."
"No, I can't pass."
Just when Fu Yiqing was dissatisfied, another voice said what she wanted to say.
It turned out to be Jiang Wanwan.
The director and Fu Yiqing were both surprised.
Facing these two puzzled looks, Jiang Wanwan stood up.
She walked up to Fu Yiqing step by step, reached out and took away the riding crop in her hand.
"You know what? The one you took just now is indeed not good. But I think the problem is not with expression management, but with your whip."
Fu Yiqing found Jiang Wanwan like this very strange: "Just say what you say. Why are you so close to me? Give me back the whip."
"That won't work, I still want to give you some guidance. I'm very good at whipping, and I'm going to demonstrate it to you. If you see that pillar, I can whip it for you.
"Turn around and look. If you don't, then I will."
Jiang Wanwan liked to take revenge on the spot, but Fu Yiqing couldn't move her.
Quickly walking around behind Fu Yiqing, Jiang Wanwan aimed at her back and whipped her hard.
"Ah!" Fu Yiqing was caught off guard and exclaimed.
The entire crew was shocked. Is Jiang Wanwan so fierce?
Jiang Wanwan's expression remained unchanged: "What's it called? Did you slap me four times? Remember this feeling, and use this force when you hit me. By the way, director, what you just said about passing is true. Right? Do we need to reshoot again?"
Director: "...No need." Well done!
"That's good, we can move on to the next one."
Only then did Fu Yiqing react and started to get angry: "You actually hit me?!"
"Did I? I was filming. What's the difference between what you did just now?"
After speaking, Jiang Wanwan threw the whip to the assistant aside. Anyway, the scene had been filmed and the prop was no longer needed, and it was even more impossible for her to let the whip return to Fu Yiqing's hands.
"I'm going to sue you!"
"What are you suing me for? Sue me for discussing with you while filming? Then who will dare to film with you in the future? Are you very angry now? If I were you, I would pack up and leave now. Who would love to treat this crew? Who will wait?"
"...Are you deliberately irritating me? Do you want to use this method to make me quit voluntarily? I tell you that if you think well, I will not leave."
Director: "..." Mom is so annoyed that she won't even leave!
"Okay! If you don't leave, prepare for the next scene. After filming, you can call it a day!"
Fu Yiqing suffered the loss of being mute, but no one on the crew helped her, so she had no choice but to admit it.
In these two scenes without Wen Yan, she stayed up all night yesterday to catch up on her sleep.
When she came over, she heard the crew talking about Fu Yiqing.
However, Fu Yi Qingfeng's review was no longer a matter of one or two days, so Wen Yan didn't listen much and went to Jiang Wanwan with snacks.
But as soon as they passed, Wen Yan found that the atmosphere at the scene was not right.
"What's going on?" She asked Jiang Wanwan while sharing snacks with her, "Is someone causing trouble again?"
"Well, she messed with me and I taught her a lesson. Don't talk about these unpleasant things. Have you rested?"
"Okay, I slept very well, and now I am resurrected with full blood! This is delicious, you can eat it all when I go on stage later, otherwise you will get wet."
The two were talking and laughing, and soon the director joined them.
Seeing them hugging each other like this, Fu Yiqing's eyes were filled with anger.
The next scene is Wen Yan and Fu Yiqing.
The play is about a naughty princess who gets angry and throws things in front of Concubine Hui.
Fu Yiqing had been holding her breath in her heart. When she thought that Wen Yan seemed to be laughing at herself when she was hanging out with Jiang Wanwan and the director, her temper grew again.
When he threw something, he accidentally dropped it on Wen Yan.
When the director saw this, he immediately shouted "Ka"
Wen Yan was also confused: "Did you do it on purpose? Didn't the props have a fixed position? What do you mean when you turned around and hit me with something? You almost hit my head."
"Sorry!" Just when Wen Yan was angry, another voice suddenly sounded. (End of chapter)
