Cao Xuan and Hu Jing stayed in the room for a while. They reunited after a short break, and they almost had a misfire if they hadn't thought about filming for a while.
Cao Xuan's scene today is around 10 a.m., so there's no need to put on makeup in advance. It's enough time to go to the set after breakfast.
After tidying up, Cao Xuan changed clothes and prepared to go downstairs for dinner with Hu Jing. As soon as he left the room, he saw Dong Xuan and Yang Xue opening the door to the side and coming out.
In principle, actors and crews arrange rooms so that men and women are separated to avoid some inconveniences. However, there are also many crews that, for the sake of convenience, have the leading actors in one group and the staff in another group.
"Golden Pink Family" is the latter. The starring role is also because there are many new actors in the crew. Sometimes the crew holds script meetings to discuss direction and so on, so the cast is arranged nearby.
Cao Xuan, the leading actor and owner, took advantage and had his own private room. The director, producer and a few popular or veteran actors also took special care, and all of them had private rooms as standard.
Other ordinary actors and actresses basically live in double rooms, with men and women living together. Exceptions include husband and wife teams like Zhu Yuanyuan and Xin Baiqing.
It's not about status, it's mainly about saving money. The crew shoots for several months at a time, and the rent money is not a small amount. I can save as much as I can.
The crew of "The Golden Family" is quite particular.
Although the hotel is not a star-rated hotel, it is at least a business-class hotel, and the entire crew stays together. Except for a few single rooms that are slightly better, most of them are treated equally.
For some stingy film studios, the leading actors may be treated better, while ordinary actors and staff go directly to stay in small hotels or Datong shops that have been converted from private houses.
The boss who is more unscrupulous will directly give you an accommodation subsidy of 100 to 300 yuan and let you find a house by yourself. He or she will not even receive a subsidy and you will have to take care of the accommodation yourself.
In contrast, the crew of "The Golden Family" all have business rooms, which are basically double or triple rooms. Meals are included in the morning, lunch and evening, both on and off the set, with both meat and vegetables.
This may have been the standard treatment for regular film crews in later generations, but in 2001, many major productions must have had these benefits.
The lower the crew members are, the more they are aware of the gap. According to Ding Ying and other Fanxing employees, a month after the crew started filming, many people wanted to officially join Fanxing.
However, Fanxing’s current entry threshold is not low, and we will not accept applicants unless they have certain talents or rich experience.
To put it bluntly, I am not capable enough, so I can only work as a temporary worker...
Although Dong Xuan is the heroine, she is also a newcomer. She was assigned to a double room, and her roommate was Yang Xue, who played the sixth lady.
And Yang Xue is now also a signed artist of Fanxing.
After she joined the crew, Cao Xuan took the time to ask her. He learned that she had just graduated from Nortel's advanced training class and had no company. She was now running a single agency under the name of an agent, so he asked her if she wanted to sign Fanxing.
Yang Xue barely hesitated and accepted the offer without even asking for specific conditions.
She is not stupid. Fanxing has launched several dramas this year and her strength has been guaranteed. If you are a famous artist, you may still hesitate and wait and see the specific prospects.
But for a newcomer like her who can't even get a role, being signed into a company and being praised by someone is already a huge temptation.
Dong Xuan was a little hesitant at first because of Cao Xuan's reputation, but Yang Xue was smarter. She had been in the group for half a month at that time. She spent time with Cao Xuan every day and often saw him.
According to her observation, Cao Xuan is not like the "hungry ghost" reported by the media. At least, he has no interest in her.
So, under Cao Xuan's arrangement, Yang Xue also signed with Fanxing, and the contract terms were similar to Dong Xuan's.
Divided into 28 and 80, signed for eight years, a total of eight dramas will be given to the artist, but this time the heroine will not be played three times, but once.
After all, Fanxing's dramas are limited, and there are many female artists in the company now, including Hu Jing, Gao Yuanyuan, Dong Xuan, Yang Xue, plus a non-staff member Zeng Li, and there are also benefits from exchanging with other companies.
If everyone guarantees the female lead in three dramas, it may not be enough.
Dong Xuan took advantage of [Leng Qingqiu] at that time, Fanxing was eager to sign her and gave her good terms.
After signing the contract, Fanxing reacted and changed the new artist's contract from three films with male and female protagonists to one.
Even in a few years, with the stars growing bigger, there may not even be a clause for a male/female protagonist, and they will only be guaranteed to provide certain film and television resources.
Whether you can be a male/female lead depends on your personal abilities, as well as the company's needs and positioning of artists.
The two are about the same age, both are girls, they are artists in the same company, and they almost debuted in the same drama.
Dong Xuan is a complete newcomer. Yang Xue has been a bit player in one drama and played a small supporting role in one drama. But the real big role with a big head and face is still in this drama, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she made her debut in this drama.
.
Because of the above reasons, the two have a good relationship and are roommates, so they have always been in and out of the same group on the set.
As a result, today, we bumped into Cao Xuan and Hu Jing coming out of the room together. Hu Jing still had a suspicious blush on her face.
If possible, Dong Xuan and the two would like to escape directly to the room, but they don't have three hundred taels of silver in this place, so they can't just lower their heads and pretend to be dead, so they can only say hello in a low voice.
"Hello, Mr. Cao."
Cao Xuan and Hu Jing were actually very embarrassed, especially Hu Jing. This was the first time they met someone. They were so embarrassed and annoyed that they couldn't help but pinch someone's thigh quietly.
"Hey...ahem, let me introduce you. This is Hu Jing from our company. You can call her Sister Jing."
"Hello, Sister Jing."
Dong Xuan and Dong Xuan greeted each other honestly. In fact, Hu Jing was born in 1978, which is older than Dong Xuan who was born in 1982, but she is the same year as Yang Xue, and is even a month younger.
But again, the entertainment industry does not judge by age. Hu Jing is a popular little girl, and she has a mysterious relationship with her boss. When asked to call her Sister Yang Xue, Yang Xue did not dare to respond.
Of course, there are also some female artists who are more taboo about their age. Calling them "sister" is tantamount to provocation, so let's talk about the other two.
"This is a newly signed artist from our company. The one with white dots is called Dong Xuan, and the one with big eyes is named Yang Xue. Please take more care of them in the future."
"Hello."
Hu Jing calmed down and reached out to shake hands with the two of them. The boss's wife and the first lady of the company looked very upright.
After a few words of greeting, Dong Xuan and the two quickly moved out of the way. Just as Cao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, Hu Jing's soul-chasing pinch immediately came into close contact with the soft flesh of his waist.
"Why do you sign another one to create a harem?"
"Conscience of heaven and earth!"
Cao Xuan's face was full of injustice: "What kind of harem? I haven't even touched anyone's finger. It's purely a business activity. Don't you think it's a good prospect? It's popular and makes money for the company."
"hehe."
Hu Jing sneered, after experiencing the Zeng Li incident, the credibility of Cao Daguan in the East and West Palaces regarding men and women is really not very reliable.
They believed that he wouldn't mess around, but they couldn't bear to do anything else, so they didn't dare to let down their guard and needed to be on guard at all times.
Especially Dong Xuan, an innocent little girl who had just left school, was most wary of Hu and Zeng.
After all, they know Cao Xuan. Cao Xuan may appreciate young and mature women who have experienced sailing, but he is not really attracted to them. He likes little girls who have not been experienced by society and are pure and flawless in body and mind.
I think that was how they acted in the first place. It shows how someone's taste can be guarded against.
"I think that Dong Xuan looks quite white. Don't you like white the most...well..."
Cao Xuan covered Hu Jing's mouth: "Keep your voice down, people are coming and going, don't let anyone hear you. Otherwise, how will I behave on the set?"
"Humph, anyway, don't think too hard, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
In order to warn Cao Xuan, Hu Jing even broke the rules and moved out of Zengli. Cao Xuan also understood her thoughts and raised her hands to guarantee her.
"If I really had evil intentions, why would I bring you to the set so that I could have enough food to get excited?"
"Well, I don't know. You've already attacked a dormitory, so maybe this one is the best."
Hu Jing seized the opportunity to quarrel with Cao Xuan. Cao Xuan was in the wrong and did not dare to reply. Hu Jing did not say more and chatted about other topics.
Too much is not enough, and it is annoying to talk too much.
Hu Jing's purpose was not to squeeze Cao Xuan, but to give reminders to show their presence in the east and west palaces, so that Cao Xuan would know better.
After many years, the original two little white flowers have also grown up. Hu Jing reminded them with half-coquettish and half-tempered knocks, while Zeng Li gently and inadvertently knocked around, one left, one right, one east, one west, and cooperated with each other to make things better.
Cao Xuan watched with horror.
Cao Xuan actually roughly understood the two people's thoughts, and he himself half-heartedly agreed.
On the one hand, it was a mistake. The two girls were following him namelessly and even tolerated him stepping on both sides of the boat. It was hard to let him down.
In addition, it is also a lightning protection. The entertainment industry is not a place where people sleep casually. It’s okay to have all the money and goods, but I’m afraid that I’ll run into someone who’s difficult to get along with and it’s hard to get rid of them.
There are too many temptations in the circle, and Cao Xuan doesn't really believe in his own self-control. He can avoid some mistakes if someone watches him.
………
The two were having a rough time, and when they arrived at the restaurant, they were both members of the crew. Regardless of whether they knew the situation or not, they became Boss Cao and the first lady of the company.
Hu Jing also took the opportunity to give Cao Xuan a serious talk about the crew of "Love Through Time and Space".
In fact, there is no need for much introduction. The two crews are not far apart, and producer Ding Ying goes over to check on the situation from time to time, so Cao Xuan is quite familiar with them.
The filming started in early February and has been filming for almost three months now. All the scenes of the heroine Hu Jing have been completed, and the scenes of other people have basically reached the finishing stage.
It is expected that in mid-to-late May, all filming will be completed and then post-production will begin. At that time, Hu Jing will also participate in the recording of the ending song "The Provision of Love".
This speed is a bit slow, but that's okay. After all, it's Chen Hanzhu's first time to direct independently, so it's normal to have some delays.
The film will be edited in late May, and it will be ready for the premiere in August or September. On the other hand, "Martial Arts" has also given news that it will be premiered on a local channel in Suzhou City in October to test the waters, and then it will be broadcast on Suzhou Satellite TV.
Two female protagonists are enough to take Hu Jing's fame to a higher level, plus "The Golden Family" will be released from the end of this year to the beginning of next year.
Next year the media will officially select the top four actresses, and Hu Jing may not be able to compete for them.
Especially Xu Cainv, who is at the bottom. Currently, Zhao Naha and International Zhang are at their peak, and Zhou Gongzi has two TV and movie projects. She is the only one who has been involved in the film "Carry Love to the End".
The so-called independent female director design has not yet begun. Apart from her good calligraphy, Cao Xuan really doesn't see any "talent" in her.
To put it bluntly, it was Wang Shuo and his gang of Beijing bosses who praised him and the media gave him face.
To be honest, with Cao Xuan's current size, he is still not ready to compete head-on with the Beijing circle, but it is really not a big deal to steal Xu Cainv's title of Huadan.
The worst case scenario is to meet Wang Shuo. He doesn't rely on Beijing circles for a living and has a background himself, so who should be afraid of whom?
To put it bluntly, the Beijing Circle has also changed its dynasty. Wang Shuo, the boss, has become obsolete. The leaders of the Beijing Circle are now the rapidly rising Huayi and Hairun families.
Of course, Wang Shuo still has a lot of face, but if he offends the powerful Cao Xuan because of his favor with a woman, he really doesn't have many enemies.
So Cao Xuan thought that after "Love Through Time" was released, he would start building momentum for Hu Jing, squeezing Xu Cainü out and letting Boss Hu take the position.
Don't underestimate the title of the Four Great Flowers.
This is like the "Four Heavenly Kings" and "Nan Ren Bei Cao", forming a group marketing concept, directly rising to a higher level from a group of popular florets, and becoming the representative of all female artists of the new generation.
For example, at this stage, Yuan Li, Xiao Tao Hong, Jiang Qinqin, and later Cen Hao, Gao Yuanyuan, and Sun Li are all well-known, but once the four major beauties emerge, these people can only compete with each other instead of being tied.
That is to say, Huayi's skills, coupled with Li and Fan's efforts, finally forced a four-dan double soldier.
Among the nearly two "generations" of female artists from 75 to 85, Sidan Shuangbing is listed separately, while other female artists are grouped together, which shows the influence of this group.
Currently, the only artist in Fanxing who holds the title is Cao Xuan.
But he is the boss after all, and he is responsible for everything. It is not like an entertainment company, but a personal studio.
Therefore, Fanxing needs to launch another popular first-line star, "weaken and divest" Cao Xuan's influence on the company, and completely build up the brand of [Fanxing Entertainment] company itself.
The four major actresses are a good opportunity, and Hu Jing has the right opportunity to play these dramas. If done properly, it is not impossible to replace Xu.
The only concern is that it is a bit unlucky to have two soldiers on the fourth day. Two of the six have already lost, and half of the remaining four are in danger, and internal fans often argue with each other.
But it doesn't matter. After passing this point, Hu Jing no longer cares about this title. If it doesn't work, Fanxing will support someone else to replace him, or it will muddy the water.
In the original time and space, there were no double soldiers of the Fourth Dynasty like porcelain... Bao Tangyuan's poem Honey Sugar Barabara, Fanxing made a double soldier of the Four Dynasties Xuanyuan Blood (Xuan Yuanxue).
When there are too many people, it becomes worthless. Hu Jing retired after her success and became her own boss’s wife...
