The bard joins the entertainment industry - Chapter 504 Mountain City
After chatting with Lin Zhibin, Chen Shuo did not stay in Tokyo for long. Instead, he said goodbye to David, Mr. Townsend and others and rushed directly to Bang Country.
Liu Weiqiang and others were already waiting for him there.
Bangguo is not a country with a large land area. The only ones worthy of praise are Seoul and the second largest city, Busan.
After the group of people publicized in these two cities, the second round of publicity was over.
At this point, Chen Shuo returned to the crew to concentrate on completing his filming tasks.
By August, when Chen Shuo was sorting out how many shooting tasks he had left, he received a call from Ning Hao.
“Brother, has my scene started filming?” He picked up the phone and asked directly.
“Hahaha~” Ning Hao laughed and said: “Since junior brother is so cheerful, I won’t be verbose. I also know that you are busy. Our filming progress has been going well during this period. I thought you would come over if you are free. How about finishing the scene?”
“Okay.” Chen Shuo responded readily: “Brother, when are you ready to shoot?”
“Whenever you are free, we can take pictures anytime you come.”
“Then…” Chen Shuo looked at the follow-up arrangements and said: “I don’t have much work here, I can just leave the rest to Director Cheng to finish.
Give me five days and I’ll be there around the 9th. How about that? “
“Number 9…” Ning Hao looked at Yue Xiaojun beside him, saw him nodding, and nodded and said: “Then we will be waiting for Director Chen’s arrival.”
“Okay, senior brother, that’s what we’ve settled on.”
After hanging up the phone, Ning Hao smiled at Yue Xiaojun and others: “It’s settled, I’ll be here on the 9th. Don’t forget to prepare in advance.”
Yue Xiaojun patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Mouse, we are well prepared and we will be waiting for him when the time comes.”
Ning Hao nodded, and then said: “Plan ahead. We may have to go back to the imperial capital around the 25th. By then, we will have to occupy both sides for about three days. The crew must make arrangements.”
“This is also ready.” Xing Aina responded seriously, and then said a little sadly: “What should we give you when the time comes?”
“This…” Ning Hao couldn’t help but rub his chin and groaned after hearing this.
August 25th is Liu Yifei’s birthday. Not only that, it is also her 18th coming-of-age ceremony.
According to Chen Jingfei’s intention, there will definitely be a big event when the time comes.
Ning Hao and others must attend, whether as employees, seniors or friends.
Since you are attending, you must prepare gifts.
For this reason, they were also a little worried during this period, not knowing what to give.
Seeing him like this, Xing Aina also knew that it was a bit difficult for him, a grown man, to come up with an idea, so she said, “Forget it, I’ll go get ready then.”
“Then, sister-in-law, why don’t you prepare our things too, and we’ll pay how much it will cost then.” Yue Xiaojun said hurriedly after hearing this.
“Sister-in-law, help me choose one too.” Huang Bo also said hurriedly.
“Forget it Xiaojun, doesn’t Xiaoou have good taste? Why do you still need me to pick?”
“Hey, isn’t this my sister-in-law’s vision?” Huang Bo said with a smile: “Besides, we are one, so when the time comes to prepare together, it won’t be so special.”
“What Bozi said makes sense.” Ning Hao nodded and said, “Then let’s just prepare a gift together in the name of the crew. If you prepare so many people, you may not be able to use it.”
“This is a good idea.” When the others heard this, they immediately thought it was a good idea.
Everyone buys them separately, and it is certainly impossible to spend much money on each gift.
It’s better to buy a higher-end one together.
Not only them, Yang Junyi, Yu Bo and others are also thinking about what kind of gifts to prepare.
Chen Shuo didn’t have any idea about this. He was polite and reciprocated, and the relationship would only become closer in the future if they kept going back and forth.
This time they gave themselves face and came to bless Liu Yifei, and they would definitely pay it back when the time comes.
This is how this friendship comes about.
Now that he was ready to hand over the work at hand, Chen Shuo also began to sort out his future work.
Nearly three months have passed since the filming of “Jian Yu Jiang Hu” began. According to Chen Shuo’s estimation, the subsequent filming tasks will only last about 20 days at most.
There are even fewer shooting tasks for martial arts dramas. If I let go now, it won’t be a complete success.
After finishing the work at hand and going to the mountain city to film the scenes of “Crazy Stone”, it was time to concentrate on preparing for Liu Yifei’s birthday party.
On the 8th, Shen Pingchuan and Yang Tianle came to Chen Shuo’s office, knocked on the door and said: “Director Chen, you are looking for us.”
“Brother Shen, Brother Le, sit down.” Chen Shuo asked the two of them to sit down and said, “In these two days of busy work in both black and white, I have finished shooting all the big scenes of martial arts scenes, and the rest are just scattered parts. .
I have discussed it with Director Cheng. When the time comes, you and his subordinates, Brother Qin and Brother Song, will be in charge, and then he will be responsible for quality control. “
When the two heard this, they immediately said happily: “Thank you, Director Chen, for your cultivation.”
This job seems to let them be responsible for some minor chores, but in fact it leads them from a simple action director to a qualified action director position.
General martial arts instructors and action actors do not have the right to film. They only have the right to perform or prepare under the direction of the director.
And now, letting them shoot part of the scene is equivalent to giving them the right to take some shots.
As for Cheng Xiaodong’s check-in, it was a learning opportunity they could only dream of.
The most important thing is Chen Shuo’s attitude, which is equivalent to if they can follow Chen Shuo in the future, they are likely to become her exclusive action actors in the future.
If Zhao Jian laid a solid foundation for them, then Chen Shuo is equivalent to the guide who led them to this position.
“No thanks. When the time comes, I’ll learn more from Director Cheng, and later I’ll contact Director Zhao for advice.” Chen Shuo waved his hand and told them to learn from Cheng Xiaodong if they didn’t understand anything.
At the same time, don’t forget to ask Zhao Jian for advice in advance if you have any doubts. At least the two of them came out from under his hands.
Losing someone is more or less equivalent to losing his face, and if he can stand out, it is also a kind of praise for him.
After a lot of work, he handed the characters in his hands to Cheng Xiaodong. Chen Shuo packed up and prepared to go to the mountain city.
After saying goodbye to everyone, as soon as he got in the car, his cell phone rang. When he saw it was Liu Yifei, he couldn’t help laughing and said softly: “Sissi, I’m getting ready to go to the airport now.”
“…”
“About 4 p.m.”
“…”
“Okay, don’t worry. I’ll go back after I finish filming this part.”
The two chatted for a few words and then hung up.
Huang Ying looked at it and smiled and said, “I’ve been very busy during this period. I haven’t seen Qian Qian for a long time.”
Chen Shuo nodded in approval: “Yeah, I’ve been a little busy during this period, either filming or promoting. Except for the last time I met him in the imperial capital, I haven’t seen him much since then.”
In order to prevent herself from visiting the crew frequently, distracting Chen Shuo’s energy and delaying the filming of the crew, Liu Yifei basically did not come to the crew.
Even if I come, I just meet and chat and then go back.
“It seems that I will buy a house in Hengdian later.” Chen Shuo thought for a while and said.
The money he earned in the past two years has basically been used to buy houses. There are houses in Magic City, Suzhou and other places, and even Jiangcheng has one.
Huang Ying patted her forehead and said, “It’s not about whether to buy a house or not, right? Even if you have a house, with how busy you two are, you won’t have much time to live there.
If nothing else, after finishing Sissy’s birthday party, you should prepare for the filming of “Fast and Furious”. “
“That’s true.” Chen Shuo rubbed his chin.
During this time, Chen Shuo was busy, and Huang Ying was not idle either. She negotiated with the crew of “Fast and Furious” about Chen Shuo’s appearance.
Due to the mature film industry system, the preparation for “Fast and Furious” was easy. Although this film is set in Tokyo, it is called “Tokyo Drift”.
But most of the footage was set to be shot on location in Los Angeles.
In other words, when it comes to filming, Chen Shuo may wait in the United States until the American part is finished filming before leaving.
Seeing him like this, Huang Ying rolled her eyes and suggested, “Why don’t you invite Sissi to go to the United States with you then, and you can film your scenes as usual, and when you get off work or have free time, you two can have fun together in Los Angeles. “
“This is a good idea.” Chen Shuo’s eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, “I’ll ask her for her opinion later.”
“I don’t think she will refuse.” Huang Ying said seriously.
Chen Shuo nodded and said: “It just so happens that after her birthday today, she will be an adult, so she might as well go on a trip to celebrate after her birthday.
Our popularity in the United States is not as high as in China. Not so many people know us, so we can play more relaxedly. “
“Yes, when the time comes for you to film, I will take Sissi and my aunt to play in various cities.” Huang Ying said happily.
Chen Shuo looked at her and chuckled. He didn’t pay attention, but discussed with her how to plan the travel route.
During the chat between the two, they came all the way to the mountain city.
After getting off the plane, Chen Shuo looked around. Before arriving, he had already greeted Ning Hao and asked them to send someone to pick him up.
He had been to the mountain city before when he was promoting his album. If there were no locals to guide him along that route, he might not be able to find the place.
“Sir, Miss, do you want a ride?” Just as he was looking around, a figure wearing a hat and a mask mysteriously appeared in front of the two of them.
Just when Chen Shuo was about to say no, he suddenly felt that both the figure and the voice were very familiar. He looked at her and said affirmatively: “Ruirui? Sissi is here!”
“Ah?” That figure was Chen Rui. She pulled down her mask and asked in surprise: “It’s not surprising that you heard it was me, but how did you know that Sissi was here?”
Chen Shuo glanced at her and said, “Sissi called me before I came. Originally there was no problem, but since you are here, I guess she and auntie should be here too.”
“Okay, I just said you shouldn’t have made that call.” Chen Rui said frustrated.
Chen Shuo originally wanted to give her a nod, but seeing that she had become a tall and graceful girl now, he gave up.
As he walked forward, he said, “Where are you now? Where are the people on Senior Brother’s side?”
“Waiting outside.” Chen Rui pointed outside and said, “Originally, Sissi wanted to come, but I was afraid that you would be recognized, so I didn’t let her come. We are now in a hotel rented by Brother Hao.”
Chen Shuo nodded and said, “Let’s go then.”
“Okay!” Chen Rui helped Chen Shuo hold a bag and led the two of them to the crew’s car.
This is a BMW, sponsored by a sponsor, and also a prop for the crew.
Now it has completed its filming tasks and has become the face of the crew.
After leaving the airport, we followed the highway all the way to the city. The mountain city is called a mountain city because it is built in a mountainous area.
There are layers of buildings from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. Because of the height difference, the roofs of some houses are on the road.
Originally, the distance in a straight line was not that long, so we walked twice as long.
After walking around and coming to the door of a five-star hotel, Ning Hao and others were waiting at the door.
“Brother, long time no see.” Chen Shuo got out of the car and hugged Ning Hao with a smile.
“That’s not true. Come on, today is a good time to help your junior brother.” People on both sides greeted each other, and Ning Hao took Chen Shuo’s arm and walked inside.
Now the “Stone” crew’s budget is not high. Ning Hao and others all live in a small hotel, or even several people in one room, just to invest all the money in the production of the movie.
This is not because the company has wronged them. In fact, if they wanted to, according to the accommodation standards provided by the company, they would not have four-star or five-star hotel treatment, but three-star hotels would still be available.
It’s just that in their opinion, it’s okay to be a little bit tired now. As long as this movie achieves results, there will be plenty of time to enjoy it in the future.
On the contrary, if they are complacent now and the results of the film they shoot will not be good then, they will regret it later if they are complacent today.
It is better to hold back your energy and deal with it with the purest mentality.
Originally, because Chen Shuo was coming, they wanted to book a luxury private room in a hotel for Chen Shuo, but Chen Shuo refused.
But now that Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and Chen Rui are here, they must not be allowed to live with a bunch of rough guys like themselves.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect that schoolmate Yifei would come to see you secretly.” Ning Hao smiled and said: “Fortunately, we asked in advance that there are still free rooms in this hotel and reserved them for a few days, otherwise it would be temporarily unavailable. I haven’t found one so suitable yet.
This hotel was close to most of our scenes and had a nice view. “
“Qianxi has caused trouble to senior brother.” Chen Shuo shook his arm and said, “These expenses will be counted as extra to the company later.”
“There is no such thing, this place was originally reserved for you.” Ning Hao quickly waved his hand and said: “Besides, Junior Sister Yifei is not someone who takes advantage, she paid for the room when she came.
What I mean is that if the junior brother lives here, he will not delay filming or playing with his junior sister. “
