After Director Wu saw Sister Mei, he greeted her and said, "Amei is here, has Brother Hu left?"
The tasks arranged by this company are not just one event tomorrow, I remember there will be two or three more after this. You must grasp this time well and arrange it well. The entire crew is waiting for Brother Hu to film, but
Don't waste time and delay the crew's filming just because he went to participate in the event."
Sister Mei said with a smile: "Director, look at what you said. With you so strategizing and controlling the shooting progress, how could our crew delay the shooting? The schedule is relatively loose. Brother Hu just sent him off.
He has already said that after participating in the event, he will come back directly and will definitely not stay in Shanghai."
If Brother Hu takes a night off while participating in an event in Shanghai, this may delay another day. If he comes back directly, he can take a rest at most and then start shooting.
There is still a big difference between these two decisions. Although Brother Hu is a first-line niche, although he is the leader of the Tang Dynasty, at least he is not such a big name, or in other words, Brother Hu really has not developed any big names now.
of habit.
Director Wu is also very satisfied with this. If the male protagonist of his TV series is a big-name person, it will definitely be a headache for the director. Especially if the director's status is not enough to suppress the male protagonist, then
A matter like this may cause very important trouble.
Director Wu's qualifications are barely enough to support a TV series. Even if Director Wu's reputation is not enough to support a TV series, there is still Li Guoli, the great emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, Director Wu is not worried about the actors rebelling. Of course, it would be better if the actors could cooperate with the director.
Brother Hu is the kind of artist who doesn't have any big names and is difficult to serve. Of course, if the director's status reaches a certain level, then in such a matter, it is fundamentally
Ability to suppress actors.
For example, the bearded Zhang Jizhong, when filming Swordsman, he directly replaced Shao Bing, who was playing a big role.
Later, it was said on the Internet that Zhang Jizhong’s daughter liked Li Yapeng.
Therefore, replacing Shao Bing is nonsense.
You must know that filming had already started, and at least two episodes of material had been filmed. If it was really necessary to change people, the impact would definitely be huge, and the crew would lose at least one million, and this is an apparent loss.
The later Xuanfa and other things will definitely have to be replaced, and the loss will be huge.
Therefore, one of the replacements in Swordsman is that the boss Zhang Jizhong has absolute authority. Zhang Jizhong will never tolerate actors playing big names.
He wants to have absolute rights in his own crew.
Therefore, if Shao Bing plays a big role, don't replace him directly.
This is where big-name directors and producers have absolute power.
In fact, there are also such people among actors. Hollywood beauty Garbo was also extremely beautiful. She once kicked out the male lead she had booked and replaced her with her old lover.
There was no way. At that time, Jiabao's star position was really too big. When signing the contract, there was a clause that Jiabao could choose his opponent. Therefore, if you change or not, I will quit if you don't.
This is the absolute right of big names. Anyway, Brother Hu's performance on the set was quite good, and everyone on the set was quite satisfied.
When Director Wu heard what Sister Mei said, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Amei, I can rest assured that you will do things. Have you informed me of tomorrow's plans? Has anyone reacted?"
If anyone dares to show his teeth, Director Wu wouldn't mind killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Sister Mei nodded and said, "I have informed everyone, but no one has any reaction. Everyone said they will start filming on time tomorrow.
However, I just came over from Liu Sisi and heard the news that Ye Mingxin had opened a film and television company, and the people there had already called and said they wanted to sign Liu Sisi.
And it is said that Ye Ming will come over in person tomorrow to talk to Liu Sisi about signing the contract."
Ye Ming, even if Director Wu is from the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, he still has to look at Ye Ming in a different light.
That is a flag for Chinese actors in Hollywood. As for the ban by some mainland media, to an expert like Director Wu, it is almost like a joke.
Moreover, Ye Ming's influence in Xiangjiang is also very huge, and his relationship in Xiangjiang is definitely one of the best.
Many of the top ten richest people have expressed their appreciation for Ye Ming. Moreover, Ye Ming has a strong relationship with Uncle Shao Liu, the boss of Wireless Station, and Mr. Jin, the boss of Ming Pao.
Moreover, news has spread in Xiangjiang that Henderson's fourth uncle is marrying his daughter-in-law, and one of the invited guests is Ye Ming.
The Li family and Ye Ming are not related. Being able to invite Ye Ming to the Li family's wedding shows that the fourth uncle also admires Ye Ming very much. If you look carefully, Ye Ming is half a peer of the Li family.
Already.
No one but himself knows how much real estate this guy has in the capital.
It is said that Ye Ming also has two two-inside courtyard houses near the Millennium Monument. Their current value has been calculated in tens of millions.
Anyway, how does Xianza look? At that time, the real estate acquired by Ye Ming in Beijing, Shanghai and other places had appreciated in value.
Is Ye Ming planning to get into real estate by chance?
Of course, no one would have thought that Beijing’s real estate is booming and booming now. But who knew that in ten years’ time, Beijing’s real estate could only be described as riding a rocket.
Anyway, Fourth Uncle Li's invitation to Ye Ming is also a recognition of Ye Ming. This is the only person in the mainland entertainment industry who has been invited to the Li family's wedding.
Director Wu thought about it and said, "Ye Ming wants to sign Liu Sisi. This is a bit strange. Liu Sisi is not a big name. How come Ye Ming is attracted to Liu Sisi?"
Sister Mei thought for a while and said: "Director, Ye Ming is a newly established company, among the actors who have signed contracts.
Actresses such as Da Mi Mi and Zhao Baozi are actually not very famous. Liu Sisi is not famous, which is normal.
But I heard that someone in our company seems to be starting to investigate Liu Sisi.
How about we report this matter, and then we take advantage of it and sign Liu Sisi to the contract?"
From Sister Mei's point of view, Ye Ming didn't come anyway. Therefore, in a situation like this, if the Tang Dynasty made the first move, they would be very sure of snatching him away.
Director Wu waved his hand and said: "Don't think about this matter, this is a rhythm that offends people.
And do you think that even if we report the news, the company will definitely come to compete for Liu Sisi?
You underestimate Ye Ming too much. Even our boss Cai probably has no interest in embarrassing Ye Ming.
Ye Ming not only has an extraordinary status in the entertainment industry, but also has to repay his flaws.
He doesn't have the moral and artistic ambitions of those old artists. Once you offend him, you will definitely be waiting for his revenge, right?
Moreover, now Liu Sisi also knows that she will be signed by film and television in the future.
You said, if it were you who had the opportunity to sign with Future Film and Television, what choice would you make? Would you choose Tangren or Future Film and Television?"
At this time, Sister Mei was speechless for a while. This was indeed the case.
It is easy to offend Ye Ming who must retaliate if he robs someone, and even if it is a robbery, it is difficult to say whether Liu Sisi herself will be willing to sign a contract with your company.
Therefore, in such a situation, no matter what it is, Director Wu feels that it is better not to cause trouble for himself or his boss.
Ye Ming is a person that even his boss is unwilling to offend. Sister Mei has nothing to say. This choice is basically known without guessing.
At this time, Director Wu thought for a while and said: "Liu Sisi, right? I don't know why she is valued by Ye Ming, but since she is signing a contract with Future Film and Television, then just go and squeeze into the minibus or something.
It's just that the comparison is inappropriate.
You can let her go to the staff car tomorrow." Generally speaking, it is very normal for the supporting actors in the crew and some less important staff to squeeze into the minibus.
Of course, big-name male protagonists and heroines have special cars, and the more important supporting roles are usually also big-name ones.
Such big names either have their own cars, or the crew will definitely arrange a special car or something.
This is also an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry. Don't think that supporting roles must be poorly paid. It also depends on who plays the supporting role.
Therefore, in fact, you can tell what kind of status an actor has by how he is treated on the set.
Liu Sisi was a newcomer before, and she was an important supporting role, so it was very normal to take a bus or something and go directly to the minibus.
Anyway, the crew is not traveling alone or in a minibus or something like that.
In fact, most of the crew members sat there in two minibuses chartered by the crew.
Let Liu Sisi ride in the car, which means that Liu Sisi is a relatively high-status one among the supporting roles.
There is no need for the director to say anything, the makeup and costumes of the crew will be very clear. Liu Sisi has definitely found a backer.
As for taking the car on your own initiative, usually no one on the set would dare to commit suicide like that.
The director must have spoken, and then Liu Sisi was transferred to the car.
So, the next day, the crew started working early as usual. Getting up early for filming was completely normal for an actor.
Generally speaking, even if you are a big-name actor, your salary will at most be slightly improved.
Unless you meet a super big star, it is normal to get up at five o'clock.
Especially for costume dramas, the director is already giving you face without asking you to get up at four o'clock.
After all, costume dramas require makeup and costumes. Especially for male actors, it takes less than an hour to put on makeup and headgear, so it is basically impossible to complete it.
Although actresses do not need to wear headgear, it is usually more troublesome for women to put on makeup than for male actors.
Therefore, it is very normal for the actor to put on makeup for more than an hour on the set.
Especially for newcomers like Liu Sisi who have no background.
You don’t need to be called, just set your own alarm and wake up early.
If you are waiting to be called out, then wait to be criticized.
The crew actually abides by the tradition of making the scene bigger than the sky. When there is a filming, the actors will definitely put on their makeup. If there is a scene in the afternoon, it may be done at the filming site at noon.
Liu Sisi is the kind of staff member who will have a role later.
On the contrary, this time, the makeup artist already knew the news. When it comes to the crew, it is quite easy to offend people if they are not well-informed.
Therefore, people who can survive on the set and grow into old men on the set are usually relatively well-informed.
This time, the book makeup artist, Teacher Lu, came personally to do Liu Sisi’s makeup.
Generally speaking, in the makeup team, there are at least three or five makeup artists. One is the boss or team leader, and that is the really powerful makeup artist on the crew. The other ones are usually assistants or assistants.
It is not impossible to say that you are a temporary worker.
For example, if you majored in makeup at film school, you are considered a newbie after graduation, and you want to get some training, and you are recommended to a crew through connections, and you usually take on the role of a miscellaneous person in the makeup crew.
These handymen usually do makeup for supporting roles or even extras. As for real makeup artists, they still do makeup for the protagonists.
For a supporting role like Liu Sisi, under normal circumstances, it would be good if the makeup team only uses ordinary makeup.
Sometimes Liu Sisi puts on makeup and waits in line, that's a very normal thing. Who told you to be a newcomer?
But this time, it was Teacher Lu who came to apply makeup on herself, which made Liu Sisi a little surprised. Teacher Lu and Liu Sisi were talking and laughing, as if they were acquaintances.
After all, he is a professional makeup artist. He completed the task in less than an hour and looked beautiful.
When Liu Si came out and waited for a car to follow the crew to the filming location, someone had already asked Liu Sisi to take a car.
This is a fundamental change in treatment.
Some of the actors on the crew were also pointing fingers in private, not knowing what they were talking about. Anyway, Liu Sisi would definitely start to tremble with just one sentence.
As Liu Sisi was waiting to set off, a person came over in a hurry with a very serious expression. Mr. Wang, the dramaturg of the crew.
When he saw someone blocking the road, Stage Manager Wang opened his mouth to scold him, but when he saw it was Liu Sisi, he relaxed and said with a serious expression: "Sisi, why don't you go back and wait?"
Liu Sisi was a little confused now and immediately asked: "What happened to Teacher Wang?"
Theater manager Wang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't tell anyone. Brother Hu had a car accident last night. It's said to be quite serious. Keep it a secret."
