It was quite difficult for Miao Lanzhi to remove her makeup in broad daylight.
Because of her work, her mother-in-law has developed the habit of getting up early every day to put on makeup, without going to bed or taking off her makeup.
After having several children, she occasionally took off her makeup during the day and let her children kiss her on the face.
Hua Zhao whispered to Ye Ming, who was having a great time playing with Xiao Shenxing.
"Brother, why are you here? It's rare to see you during the day." Hua Zhao looked at the sky outside. It was only around 4 p.m. and he hadn't gotten off work yet.
Ye Ming looked up at her and smiled: "I'm going to pick up my mother when she comes back."
"What's wrong?" Hua Zhao asked strangely.
When Miao Lanzhi goes out to film, she almost always goes with the team. We all go there by car and go back together, sometimes by truck, sometimes by bus. If conditions permit, we can use a small jeep, but there is no nanny car.
"There is something wrong with her scene, and it may not be possible to film," Ye Ming said.
"Ah, I said that my mother's expression seemed a little bad just now, and I thought I was wrong." Hua Zhao said.
Ye Ming smiled at her. How could her eyes be wrong? If she was wrong, she wouldn't ask him in a low voice now, for fear that Miao Lanzhi would hear him.
"What's the problem?" Hua Zhao asked curiously.
"The heroine was suddenly discovered to be pregnant and she was not allowed to act." Ye Ming said.
"Ah?" Hua Zhao didn't understand: "Can't you act while you're pregnant? I remember that there was no martial arts plot for the heroine in that movie, right? Even if there was, couldn't we find a substitute?"
Miao Lanzhi acted in a costume drama, in which she played the heroine's mother.
"The female lead isn't married yet, and she hasn't told anyone that she has a partner," Ye Ming said.
Hua Zhao was stunned for a moment and understood, remembering that this was 1982, not 1992.
At this time, actors all had professional jobs. They worked and received salary plus bonuses, and there was no remuneration.
The salary is higher than that of ordinary people. When the per capita salary is a few dozen yuan, a leading role can cost a few hundred yuan a month.
A serious woman in a serious workplace suddenly reveals that she is pregnant out of wedlock. This is a big deal. She has a bad lifestyle and will lose her job.
Since my job is gone, I am naturally not qualified to act.
This is thanks to the year 1982. If this were the year 1972, it would not only be as simple as losing a job, but also meetings, wearing worn-out shoes, and parading in the streets.
"Then what should we do now? I heard that it is a big drama, and we have invested several million! Cut it in half? Should we change the heroine and start from scratch?" Hua Zhao asked.
The millions in this era are truly astronomical figures, and the hundreds of millions in the future may not be comparable.
"I don't know, their work unit will discuss it." Ye Ming doesn't care whether a TV series can be made.
It's just that when my mother called me today, she sounded very depressed, saying that she didn't want to stay on the set anymore and it was a bit chaotic, so he hurried to pick her up.
Miao Lanzhi had already walked out of the bathroom. Seeing the expressions of the two of them, she guessed that Ye Ming had told Hua Zhao.
Originally not intending to hide it, Miao Lanzhi immediately complained to Hua Zhao.
She has so many expectations for this drama and takes filming very seriously. During her break, she would even discuss the characters, plot, and even scripts with Hua Zhao.
Unexpectedly, all the efforts were in vain.
"Don't be too disappointed. At worst, we will have to work hard again, find a new heroine, and film her scenes alone, not too much." Hua Zhao said.
Because she had discussed it with Miao Lanzhi, she knew that this was a group drama, and she was said to be the heroine, but she should actually be one of the heroines.
There aren't many scenes about her, and she's not guaranteed to appear in every episode. She only shows up for a few minutes.
"To put it simply, it would require mobilizing a lot of manpower and material resources." Miao Lanzhi said: "For example, in the scene on the grassland, the heroine had scenes with almost all the leading actors there, as well as a large number of extras, and a large number of cattle and sheep.
.
"If you want to reshoot her alone, you have to drag everyone over and do it all over again! You may even have to wait a year."
