Chen Feng was very satisfied with Zhou Xingxing, but he was somewhat disappointed with Chen Hao, a clan brother. In the first few days, this guy was very excited and curious about everything, and he could also complete the tasks assigned by the drama director.
But after a few days, when the freshness wore off, he began to work passively in the crew. He would always put off doing things that the director, assistant director or others told him to do, and he would not do them until he could.
, be lazy if you can.
Because the drama director knew that Chen Hao was brought by Chen Feng, he didn't dare to do anything to him. Others saw that the drama director took care of Chen Hao and knew that he had a background. Although they were dissatisfied with him, they didn't dare to reprimand him.
This undoubtedly gave Chen Hao more courage, and his laziness and sabotage became more obvious.
On this day, after Chen Feng learned about Chen Hao's situation on the set from Jia Yong, he immediately called him to the hotel with a phone call.
During the day, the hotel where the crew stayed was almost empty and very quiet, so it was more suitable for Chen Feng to write scripts here.
Chen Hao knocked on the door. After hearing Chen Feng's "come in", he opened the door and walked in.
"Brother, you finally remembered me. It's been so many days, and you really don't care about me."
Before Chen Feng could say anything, Chen Hao complained about Chen Feng first, and acted like they were very close brothers. No one else was so shameless.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Chen Feng asked with a straight face.
Chen Hao said with a playful smile: "There should be some new task assigned to me, right? Brother, tell me, I promise to complete the task."
Chen Feng knew that this guy should have guessed it, so he "preemptively struck" as soon as he entered the door and planned to get away with it.
Chen Feng did not intend to play charades with him, and directly stated his position: "I am very dissatisfied with your performance on the set these days. You are slowing down work, being lazy, dodging errands when you can, and being lazy when you can. Is this your attitude towards work?"
Chen Hao said with a bitter face: "Brother, I didn't mean to do this. In fact, they are bullying people. I am your brother no matter what, but they always bully me, a young man, and leave everything to me, including buying things."
I was also asked to do things like cigarettes, buying drinks and even buying toilet paper. I was working as a handyman on the set, but not as a personal handyman for them. Don’t you think so? I’m not stupid, and I won’t be used as a free servant by them.
.Brother, why don't you give me another job? Something more formal, such as recorder, lighting engineer assistant, props assistant, or even lunch distribution assistant. You can't just do odd jobs like a snake oil, this kind of job is really not for human beings."
Chen Feng was speechless for a while, but he had to admit that what he said made sense. Most of the people in the crew did not know the relationship between Chen Hao and Chen Feng, and Chen Hao did not disclose it to others because of Chen Feng's prior instructions.
As a result, many people in the crew bullied him as a newcomer. Of course, the more important thing is that Chen Hao's own job is to do errands in the crew. It makes sense for everyone to ask him to do anything. But as Chen Hao said, let
It would be a bit too much for him to buy cigarettes and toilet paper for personal use.
Chen Hao, a boy, has been pampered by his grandfather since he was a child. His parents opened a store and did business, so he spent a lot of money, so he really didn't suffer much.
But the past few days on the crew have really made him suffer a lot. Apart from anything else, as long as there is someone on the crew who can assign him to do things, it feels very uncomfortable for him, a young man with an unruly personality.
Chen Feng originally planned to let him join the set to temper his young and irritable temper, but he was not there to endure hardship and be bullied.
However, Chen Hao's character is indeed a little out of touch. He is uncertain and unstable, and he cannot be too laissez-faire.
"What you said makes sense. But your temperament still needs to be tempered. You are still young, and the most important thing now is to study. I will keep you on the crew, one to temper your temper, and the other to keep you on the crew.
Get some edification and learn from the crew. If you don't say anything else, if you want to be an artist in the future, you can't have no acting skills at all and don't know how to film, right? So, you have to learn these. If you are willing, I plan to wait until I come back.
After arriving in the capital, I will let you go to the Film Academy and the Music Academy to study systematically."
Chen Hao clicked his tongue and said, "Brother, can you arrange for me to enter university?"
Chen Feng said angrily: "I'm just asking you to attend. At most, I'll spend some money to hire a professional teacher from the university to give you one-on-one training."
Chen Hao smiled and said: "It's okay to just sit in. In fact, I really hope that I can go to university to study. Otherwise, you can just arrange for me to go to university."
"There's still more than a month until school starts. You'll stay on the set for now. But since you don't want to do errands, you might as well help distribute lunch boxes. In your free time, you can watch how the actors film."
"Brother, do you really want me to hand out lunch boxes?" Chen Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Does Zhou Xingxing know? Do you know what he is doing in the crew now?" Chen Feng asked.
Chen Hao curled his lips slightly and said, "I've seen him before, but I don't know what you like about him, brother. He has a submissive look, and he seems to have no guts at first glance."
Chen Feng angrily scolded: "What do you know? He is humble. The more cultivated a person is, the more humble he is, at least on the surface. Unlike you, you look rebellious and disobedient to discipline.
If you don't have a character like yours to protect you, you will definitely suffer hardship in the future."
Chen Haotian said with a face: "Brother, aren't you protecting me? You are now the number one director in our domestic film and television industry, who doesn't give you face? Besides, although I have a lively personality, I am not a troublemaker.
I'm a very measured person. If others don't mess with me, I won't take the initiative to mess with others."
"Okay, okay. Anyway, you have to change your character in the future. Otherwise, even if I protect you, you won't be able to go far. What's more, if you do something wrong, I can't always protect you. Don't put yourself at the mercy of others.
You think too much about me, and I think about you too much. I can help you and pave the way for you, but how far you can go in the future depends on you."
Chen Feng's words were very straightforward. It would be better if he didn't say it bluntly. Chen Hao has this kind of character. If he didn't say it bluntly, he wouldn't listen at all.
"Okay. I understand. I will pay attention to it in the future."
Chen Hao finally became serious.
"That's it. You go back to the set to watch and learn more, and remember to help distribute lunch boxes. I will explain it."
Chen Hao nodded, turned around and left with a sullen face and a little temper.
Chen Feng still has a headache for this clan brother. He wants to cultivate him, but also doesn't want him to become famous too quickly, otherwise he might be harmed. Thinking about those people who became famous at a young age, many of them did not end well. More importantly,
What's more, this is the entrustment of my father and uncle Jiu. This favor has to be repaid, and it must be taken care of properly. Otherwise, if something happens to Chen Hao in the future, it will not be his fault, Chen Feng.
Fortunately, in the next few days, the feedback from the crew was pretty good. Chen Hao helped distribute lunch boxes every day and was very honest. The rest of the time, he stayed in the crew and watched the actors filming.
This day finally came to Hu Fei and Liu Qinfei's turn to play. The two of them also reported to the set a day in advance. Of course, Chen Feng, the producer, couldn't stay in the hotel any longer. First, he went to pick up the plane in person. The two of them were on the same flight company, so it saved the day.
I asked Chen Feng to make one more trip.
On the way, Liu Qinfei asked Chen Feng: "I heard that you promoted a bit player from Hengcheng, and he was not from a major. I heard that he just came from the countryside. Is this true?"
Most of the famous actors in the entertainment industry are from a professional background, or at least have something to do with a professional background. Liu Qinfei is like this. Naturally, she looks down on those from a wild background. This is a chain of discrimination. It exists in all walks of life.
What's more important is that Liu Qinfei heard someone say that Chen Feng wanted to support this bitch who came from a wild background. While she was curious, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Due to her relationship with Chen Feng, Chen Feng didn't support her. On the contrary.
I just happened to meet a supporting actor whom I had never met in Hengcheng, but Chen Feng made a promise to praise this supporting actor.
This kind of disparity in treatment certainly made Liu Qinfei feel very unhappy.
Chen Feng was a little uncomfortable with her words that specifically disparaged Zhou Xingxing, especially her words "from the countryside", which made Chen Feng even more unhappy. Because he was from the countryside, and he was not from a major, he was a wild man.
Director Luzi.
If Chen Feng hadn't known that Liu Qinfei didn't mean to ridicule him, he might have fallen out at this time.
Fortunately, Hu Fei also noticed the impropriety in Liu Qinfei's words, and quickly spoke out and said: "Feifei, it's too subjective for you to say that. Since that bitch is valued by Director Chen, he must have his own merits.
Moreover, Director Chen has always had a very accurate eye for seeing people, I believe he will not get it wrong."
Hu Fei did not mention that Chen Feng was also born in Yeluzi, so as not to embarrass everyone. But when he said this, Liu Qinfei of course reacted and knew that he had said the wrong thing, so she directly expressed her jealousy: "I mainly feel that Chen Feng
Feng, you are too hasty and unfair to me and other actors with professional backgrounds. Especially me, I have known you for so long, but you have never shown that you want to praise me. And this you
If you don't understand a bit player yet, you just say something to praise him."
Chen Feng said ruthlessly: "It's not that I don't want to praise you. It's that you are not an artist under my contract. Our personal relationship is a personal relationship, and business matters are business matters. It is impossible for me to waste my company's resources to praise other companies' artists."
"I knew you would say that. You can completely exchange resources with my company. My dad is the director of my company, so he still has some say. In this way, if you let me be the heroine in the next movie, my
The company will let one or two of your artists go to a certain satellite TV station to be regular guests in variety shows. What do you think?"
Obviously Liu Qinfei has thought about this a long time ago and has come up with a resource exchange scenario with Chen Feng.
This kind of resource exchange is too common among various companies in the entertainment industry, so Liu Qinfei said it directly without any hesitation.
After thinking for a while, Chen Feng said: "We can consider it. How about the specifics? You can ask your company to send someone to our company to discuss it in detail."
When Liu Qinfei saw Chen Feng agreeing, she was happy and helpless at the same time. She said angrily: "You are really inhumane."
Chen Feng smiled and said indifferently: "I am a businessman now, and I have to be responsible for the artists signed by my company."
"Okay. You haven't told me yet why you fell in love with that supporting actor. Is that supporting actor really so good? So much so that you said you would praise him."
Chen Feng could only say: "Do you believe that he will be the king of comedy in the future?"
Hu Fei and Liu Qinfei were both stunned when they heard this.
It took a while for Liu Qinfei to react and glared: "Are you kidding me? The King of Comedy? This title is not one that can be bestowed upon just any cat or dog."
Hu Fei laughed from the side and said: "If I want to say that I am the king of comedy, it should be you. Your role as Charlotte is very funny. Now you are recognized as one of the best comedians in China."
Chen Feng also smiled and said: "You also said it is one of them. Believe it or not, I actually don't really want to act in comedy films. In fact, I don't really like being an actor."
"How is this possible? If you don't like it, why do you want to act?" Liu Qinfei didn't believe it.
"I did it for money." Chen Feng said very straightforwardly, "At the beginning, I had no money and no suitable actors, so I played the role of Charlotte myself."
Liu Qinfei retorted: "Then why did you film Sweet Honey again? You were already very rich at that time?"
"I did it for fame." Chen Feng said calmly again, "That's how people want to be famous after they have money. I want to get the title of actor."
Hu Fei and Liu Qinfei were both speechless when they heard this.
"What is it about that extra that you value?" Hu Fei curiously changed the subject.
"He started working hard in Hengcheng when he was 16 years old, and he persisted for nine years without giving up his dream of being an actor. And he has been working hard for it and studying seriously every day. His persistence is worthy of me
I highly recommend him. Besides, I find him very pleasing to the eye. It's that simple."
Hu Fei sighed: "Then this bit player is really lucky. I met a bole like you. According to your ability and strength, if you want to support him, he will definitely become famous. If you can always create comedies for him
If so, he is very likely to become the king of comedy in the future."
Liu Qinfei admitted that she was sour and said angrily: "I want to see with my own eyes what this extra is like. When we get to the set later, Chen Feng, you have to introduce him to me."
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "I don't have time. After I take you to the hotel booked by the crew, you can report to the crew yourself."
"If you don't go, I won't go. I will ask myself." Liu Qinfei was so angry that she stopped talking to Chen Feng. Hu Fei smiled and said to Chen Feng: "Don't blame Feifei for doing this. I would feel bad if I changed it."
I have worked hard for so long and endured a lot of hardships before I achieved the little success and fame I have now. Even so, I have always felt that I was very lucky. But now compared with this bit player, I must admit that I am really
Jealous."
Chen Feng couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Hu, he is lucky. But you are the same. You also met me. If there is a movie suitable for you in the future, I will definitely let you act in it."
