Chapter five hundred and twentieth: Nortel students join the group
In May, the weather starts to get hot as summer enters, especially in the north.
At noon, the crew of "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" went to pick up Nortel teacher Gao Jing and a group of his students.
Two days ago, Fang Jing received a call from Gao Jing, saying that he wanted to take students to the set to let them experience the atmosphere of the set.
There was no refusal, Fang Jing agreed, it was a piece of cake for him, but instead of being assigned to the ice-breaking crew, chicken feathers flew into the sky. Old Wu could not tolerate sand in his eyes. When he saw a group of students jumping up and down on the crew, he guessed that this
The old guy is going to get angry.
"Wow, the weather here is too hot. My legs are sore after sitting in the car for so long. This crew is quite remote."
"Otherwise, what do you think? I'm saving money by filming in a place like this where birds don't poop. It cost me my sunscreen."
"Are we going to be filming soon? I'm a little excited. I've been in school for a year and I haven't been to a battlefield in person yet."
There are more than a dozen young men and women dressed fashionably. The men are handsome and the women are beautiful. Their long, round and straight white legs are eye-catching.
The leader in front was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a crew cut and traces of age on his face.
Gao Jing, a teacher from Beidian, and Fang Jing, who were introduced to each other by Huang Lei some time ago, shamelessly asked for this opportunity to come to the crew to experience.
It's not enough for students to just learn theory. He doesn't want his students to be embarrassed when they go out in the future and don't know anything. It will be good for their future to let them come to the crew to experience it in advance.
Under the leadership of the crew, everyone came to the remote small county town and saw at a glance the high loess slopes and the faint smoke from cooking stoves.
Hearing the chatter outside, Xu Ding knew someone was coming, so he sighed and went out to greet him.
"Teacher Gao, right? Hello, hello, I'm Xu Ding, the crew director. Please give me your advice."
"Hello Director Xu, I'm sorry for taking the liberty of coming to trouble you. You're busy, so we'll just stand aside and take a look."
"It's okay, Lao Wang, come here and say hello to Teacher Gao and the others." He waved to call the assistant director, Xu Ding said with a smile: "I'm busy now, Teacher Gao, don't be offended, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"You're welcome. I should be the one to invite you. You can be busy."
Seeing the assistant director put down his hands and run over, Xu Ding smiled and said: "This is Mr. Gao from Beidian, who brought the students here to experience it. Mr. Fang said that he would arrange a few scenes for them in the afternoon."
The assistant director was confused, "Ensemble performance or..."
"It's just a group performance." Tao Jing said, "I just bring them to experience the atmosphere of the set. There is no need to arrange roles. Of course, the most important thing is not to delay your filming."
Although Takai is a teacher, he is also an actor. He has played many roles and knows the difficulties of the crew.
"Thank you, Teacher Gao, for your understanding." Xu Ding thought for a moment and said, "Then let's give them the extras for the four o'clock scene."
"Yeah, I understand."
"You take Teacher Gao around, I'm going to work. If you need anything, call me, Teacher Gao. See you later."
"Thank you, sorry for bothering you."
While Tao Jing was coordinating with the crew, a group of students were running around the set, seeing everything new and curious and commenting on the extras from time to time.
In the dressing room, listening to the noise outside, the heroine Yin Tao came out to take a look and asked the staff, "What are these people here for?"
"They seem to be students from Nortel. I heard Director Xu say yesterday that they came to experience life."
Returning to the dressing room, Yin Tao smiled at his assistant and said, "The conditions here are difficult. It's not easy for children to come all the way. Go buy some drinks for them."
"Sister Tao, you are so kind-hearted. You even pay for people to drink water out of your own pocket."
"I am also a student. I know it is not easy for them, so go ahead."
Yin Tao's assistant was a woman in her twenties or eighties, with a thin build and short hair reaching her shoulders. After leaving the dressing room, she approached the crew and asked them to help buy drinks in the county town.
This place is more than ten kilometers away from the county seat. If you walk on your legs, it will be very hot every time you go there. The crew has a car and has to go back and forth several times every day to purchase supplies, so it is more convenient for them.
…
"Xiao Wang, come here and lend a hand to help distribute water to the students."
Not long after, the crew came back in a pickup truck. Wang Chengyang was squatting to hide from the sun, but he was forced to work as a coolie.
He works with a group of actors, and gets paid by the crew even if he is not acting. When there is a play, he acts, and when there is no play, he does odd jobs, props, set management, everything.
I'm a little tired, but fortunately I know how to be a good person and get along well with the crew.
Looking at the brand on the box, Wang Chengyang smiled, "Hey, who's treating me? You're so generous and you're drinking Red Bull, Sister Tao or Brother Zhang?"
"Sister Yin Tao bought it for the students. I still have something to do. Please help me distribute it. Don't let those old fritters snatch it away."
Carrying the box of drinks under the pergola, Wang Chengyang opened the box and began to distribute it to the students, saying loudly: "Dear students, Sister Yin Tao invites you to drink water! One bottle for each person, everyone has a share."
In the dressing room, hearing the shouting, the assistant next to Yin Tao chuckled: "This young man is quite good at being a good person. Last time I asked him to help me buy paper. He paid for the round trip fare himself. I don't care if others don't tell me."
have no idea."
"What's going on? You didn't reimburse anyone?" Yin Tao frowned lightly.
"The crew didn't go to the county seat that day, so I didn't know. He took a motorcycle from a nearby village to go there, and he didn't say anything when he came back. Afterwards, I heard someone else ask him to make up the money, but he didn't want it, saying he was just on his way.
"
With the corner of his mouth raised, Yin Tao shook his head, "It's a pity that I'm not the director of the production, otherwise I would have given him several roles."
Wang Chengyang is a good old man in the crew, hard-working and smart. When others are idle, they brag and play cards. He watches people acting and reads scripts.
I have a bit of an impression of this person Yin Tao. He seems to have pretty good acting skills and likes to sit on the set and watch people act when he has nothing to do.
"Wang Chengyang is really working hard. I heard that Fang Jing recommended him to join the group."
"Fang Jing?" Yin Tao was surprised. Of course she knew this young man. The big boss of the crew often heard Zhang Yi say, "Really or not, Fang Jing recommended him to join the crew as a handyman?"
"Keke! Sister Tao, I am working with an actor, and doing odd jobs is just a part-time job. Maybe Fang Jing let him come to practice."
Yin Tao smiled and said nothing. This kind of situation is very rare. If Fang Jing really wants to praise someone, just give it to the role. What kind of experience can he get from doing odd jobs?
On the set, after Wang Chengyang distributed drinks to the students, he found that there were seven or eight bottles left, so he picked up two bottles and gave them to the cameraman and costume designer.
"How can this person give our water to others?" Among the students, Lu Meng frowned.
"This water is not ours." Song Xue drank the cold drink. The heat in her body subsided and she suddenly felt much cooler. She exhaled and said, "Anyway, we already have one bottle for each person. The rest is not for anyone."
"No, I just can't stand it. Although we didn't buy the water, Sister Yin Tao bought it for us. He wants to take it away, right?"
"Forget it, it's not easy for him either. Look at him sweating profusely."
A few minutes later, Wang Chengyang came back. He lowered his head and saw that the box was empty. He smiled bitterly and was about to leave when he suddenly saw several students with several bottles beside them.
After letting them finish drinking, he threw the bottle into the box, and Wang Chengyang curled his lips and left.
Regardless of whether it was Yin Tao or Zhang Yi, they would usually give someone a favor if they asked someone to run errands. A box of drinks would cost one hundred and two hundred dollars. He was willing to bet that Yin Tao's offer would definitely be two hundred.
The staff helped distribute the drinks and divided the rest among ourselves. This is something everyone knows, but I didn't expect that it would be gone just by turning their backs.
