Three days later in the morning, Li Youqing got up early, dressed up and couldn't wait to go out, heading to the Weilan Film and Television shooting base.
Director Hai Da Pang said that today is the first day of official shooting of the script, so she has to go there early to prepare.
As a heroine for the first time, it would be a lie to say she wasn't excited. Even in her dreams these past few nights, she dreamed of herself becoming famous with this movie and becoming a big star overnight.
"When the movie queen Sui Xi debuted ten years ago, she became famous all over the country with the movie "Youth Is With You"! Maybe I can do it too."
With this idea in mind, Li Youqing came to the temporary venue rented by Hai Dapang at the Weilan Film and Television Base.
Five minutes later, her dream was completely shattered.
"Director...director..., there are only three of us in the entire crew?" Li Youqing looked around with his eyes wide open, a little unbelievable.
There are only three people in a prepared crew?
How is that possible.
As a 'senior actor', Li Youqing knows that a film and television drama needs to prepare a complete crew in the early stage of filming. The film must not only have a director, but also a production director, photographer, makeup artist, lighting engineer, and sound engineer.
Equipment personnel, actors, etc.
It's better now.
The whole scene was empty except for her, the director and a big brother holding a camera.
What kind of filming is this?
Faced with the sponsor's mother, Hai Dapang did not dare to neglect, and quickly explained: "Miss Youyou, have you forgotten the script you bought a few days ago? All the preliminary preparation work of the crew needs to be completed by us personally.
!”
"Script?" Li Youqing was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the camera next to him and found that the camera was actually on!
But she didn't know what it meant.
Hai Dafang also saw the problem and explained patiently: "Miss Youyou, maybe you have only been acting for a short time and you still don't understand the script. Let me tell you this, the script you bought this time
In fact, it is a 'play within a play', so even in the early preparation stage, we have to turn on the camera to record the entire process."
A play within a play?
Now I can't understand it even more.
But Li Youqing's arrogance made her nodded in understanding.
Seeing her nodding, Big Fatty Hai naturally thought he understood and said, "Young lady, you are now playing the heroine of this film, and you are also a female star who has just debuted, which is equivalent to acting in your true colors.
Just prepare a little bit, a phone call will come in a moment, and we will enter the plot."
"oh oh……"
"Don't feel pressured, just act as you like. If you can remember the lines, just remember them. If you can't, just act as you like. Just pay attention to your character."
"good"
In this way, Li Youqing started the first day of filming for the heroine in a fog.
At the end of the day, I can’t tell if it’s good or bad.
It's just that when I came back at night, I was thinking about things, and even when I was eating, I almost put food in my nose.
"Has the soul been taken away?" Jiang Bei glanced at Li Youqing. It was very strange that this woman was so distracted when she came back from filming.
Could it be that you were stunned on the first day of filming?
Li Youqing was brought back to his senses. He ate his food in small bites and asked casually: "Jiangbei, do you know what a play within a play is?"
"Don't you understand? If you don't understand, you can search online." Jiang Bei picked up a few water spinach and put it into his mouth to chew.
The water spinach fried in cooking oil still tastes a bit off, so I'll have to let it boil some lard another day.
"Of course I understand!" Li Youqing had a stubborn mouth. Not to be outdone, he picked up a few water spinach and bit into it. He said with unclear words, "I'm testing your literacy."
culture?
The test is quite meaningful.
Jiang Bei hesitated for a moment and replied: "The so-called play within a play is a literary technique or metaphor that narrates another story as the story develops."
"ah?"
Li Youqing looked confused, but he had to pretend that he understood very well. He could only pretend to be calm and mumbled: "The young man is not bad, he knows a lot. Then let me ask you, how can you express the meaning of this sentence in relatively simple words?
?”
Simple?
Isn't this simple enough?
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Bei changed his explanation: "To use a simple metaphor, it should be that when you look at other people, the people you see are also looking at others."
"And if we explain it in a movie, it will show the filming process of this drama in the movie."
"Is this simple enough?"
Li Youqing was quietly writing down these two sentences when he was suddenly questioned. His face turned red for no reason, but he refused to admit defeat and said, "Just give it a try."
Oops!
What a arrogant little daughter-in-law.
Shaking his head, Jiang Bei didn't bother to continue to expose her and continued to eat.
"I'm full, let's go back to the house first!" But Li Youqing still had no intention of eating. He quickly got up and ran towards the room to take notes, for fear of forgetting the knowledge that he had finally memorized.
"Aren't you going to wash the dishes today?"
"Don't ask, just ask Auntie."
In fact, it was not Li You's turn to wash the dishes today, it was just what Jiang Bei said casually.
But it was obvious that Li Youqing himself had forgotten.
…
I have to say that Li Youqing's attitude towards work is very commendable.
In the following days, she would get up early every day and rush to the Weilan Film and Television Base to film. When she came back in the evening, after dinner, she would go back to her room to study the script, working diligently.
This serious attitude sometimes makes Jiang Bei feel guilty, but it only lasts for a moment and is immediately nipped in the bud.
"In order to have a stable and peaceful life in the future, Li Youqing must quit the entertainment industry.
The busy life is actually quite good. At least I don’t have to rush back to make lunch during the day. I have more time to stay at Mood Farmhouse every day. While having lunch, I can also study why my own business in Azure Star was so difficult.
"Brother, our farmhouse is going to be cold soon." Liangliang ate the chicken legs and said vaguely.
Jiang Bei picked up a piece of his favorite water spinach and put it to his mouth, but he was not in the mood to eat it.
Saying such disgusting words while eating is deliberately intended to spoil people's appetite.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Jiang Bei looked up at the green bamboos in the yard and fell into deep thought.
Mood Farmhouse has had no guests for almost a week.
If this continues, bankruptcy is inevitable.
As the first business he personally managed on the Blue Star, he really didn't want to regretfully end it in such a way.
The most important thing is that Mood Farm is currently his only source of income. Once it goes bankrupt, it will mean that the source of income is cut off.
Although there are no mortgage, car, or various loan problems, and he has a wife, as a man, he must have his own career after all.
Therefore, we have to find a way to save our mood at the farmhouse.
