Chapter 22 Where is the principle of heaven and where is justice?
Time has arrived in mid-September, and the crew of "Underground Traffic Station" is slowly getting back on track, but the weather in this autumn is getting hotter and hotter.
In particular, the crew of "Underground Traffic Station" filmed in a closed studio. Although the studio is equipped with air conditioning and fans to keep the temperature down, people still feel suffocated after staying in it for a long time.
In desperation, Zuo Le could only take turns letting everyone go outside the studio for some fresh air every once in a while to avoid getting another heat stroke.
But as a result, the shooting progress, which was gradually accelerating, inevitably slowed down again.
Zuo Le was a little anxious. He also had a military order with him to make "Underground Traffic Station" catch up with the Spring Festival release.
The Spring Festival of 2016 is in early February, which is about four and a half months from now. The shooting time alone will take at least two and a half months, plus the post-editing, soundtrack, revision, and review, the time is really uncertain.
Enough.
However, no matter how anxious he was, Zuo Le did not dare to make fun of the bodies of the cast and crew.
If you don't have enough time, you can still squeeze it in. It's not impossible for Zuo Le to do post-production while filming. At most, it will be harder for him personally, but it is still better than the crew members who have troubles because they are rushing to meet the schedule.
Zuo Leke cannot bear this responsibility, and the crew of "Underground Traffic Station" cannot withstand such a big storm.
Therefore, although he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Zuo Le still insisted on not forcing filming in the hot summer. His decision was unanimously praised by the cast and crew.
Even the second uncle's eyes that looked like class hatred when he looked at Zuo Le for "telling a drama" were obviously much softer and more relaxed...
…………
Everyone else praised Zuo Le's humanistic direction. Only Fatty Chen understood the pressure in Zuo Le's heart and took some time to come and comfort his little brother.
"It's almost October, and the heat won't stay hot for a few more days. Once the weather turns cooler, let's do more drama to catch up with the progress during this period."
Zuo Le nodded, unwilling to say more about this, but asked Fatty Chen about another matter.
"How is Li Cheng doing now? Can he still continue filming?"
"Can't take pictures anymore."
Fatty Chen shook his head: "I went to the hospital to see this kid. He suffered a comminuted fracture in his right leg. He couldn't get out of bed for a few months. I just terminated the contract with him. Let's replace the role of Sixth."
"Deserve it!"
Zuo Le cursed and looked very angry: "I gave the crew repeated orders to the actors not to go out during filming, especially not to drink. Not only did this guy not listen, he even drove drunk after drinking.
Fortunately, this is a ditch. If he breaks his leg, if he hits someone, our crew will be on the news with him."
Fatty Chen was also itching with hatred. He personally recruited the actor Li Cheng into the crew. If something happened this time, he, as a producer, would be completely disgraced.
"Look, this kid has done quite a trick this time. When he comes out of the hospital, he will probably have to spend some time squatting there.
Moreover, the traffic police team has contacted the actors union in Quancheng, and the union has directly blacklisted him. I don’t know about other places in the future, but he won’t be able to get along with the crew here in Quancheng.”
"It's your own fault!"
Zuo Le was relieved, but thinking of Li Cheng's vacant role, he looked at Fatty Chen: "Although the role of Lao Liu is not a starring role, he is involved in many scenes, so he cannot remain vacant forever.
Brother Chen, please think of a way and find an actor with passable acting skills. The main thing is that the image should be distinctive, evil and bad, and it would be better if it has a bit of a sleazy temperament."
When he was on the other side, Fatty Chen would have agreed to this matter without saying a word, but now, the Li Chenggang he hired had caused a big mess, and Fatty Chen was a little unsure about finding an actor for a while.
"In this moment and a half, where can I go to find suitable actors for you? If you ask me, you can just pick anyone on the crew to take over. It's not a big role anyway."
"This... is not impossible."
Zuo Le was a little tempted.
When there are not enough actors, the crew and crew come to fill in the gaps. This has long been a common practice in film and television shooting circles.
These staff members have been with various major production crews for a long time and have watched many actors filming. Over time, they have become good doctors after long-term illness, and many of them can perform a few decent scenes.
In the crew of "Underground Traffic Station", prop Wan Nian played Quan Fu, assistant director Ming Yan played Lao Jiu, photographer Jiang Dapeng guest-starred as a police adjutant, and the rest of the staff also contracted half of the guests in Dingxiang House and Shi Qingshan's followers
.
There are so many precedents to follow, and now finding another person to play the sixth role is in line with the crew's fine tradition of being diligent and frugal, and one person can do many things.
…………
"But who can I ask to act?"
Zuo Le looked around the crew and finally looked at Fatty Chen in front of him: "Brother Chen, why don't you work hard..."
"Are you kidding? I can't."
Fatty Chen shook his fat head like a rattle: "I don't know how to act. Besides, isn't the sixth man in the script a thin man? My body type doesn't fit either.
Xiao Le, I think you are quite suitable. If you want to join, since you wrote and directed this play yourself, you are not afraid to add another one to star in it."
"I?"
Zuo Le pointed back at himself, his face full of disbelief: "I am such a handsome man with a handsome face, elegance and righteousness, and you want me to play the role of a traitor?!"
"Well………"
Fatty Chen was a little caught off guard by Zuo Le's shameless remarks. He was silent for a long time before he realized what he was saying, and couldn't help but complain.
"Brother, you may have a little misunderstanding about yourself. I admit that you are not ugly, but we are really not close to handsome men. As for the so-called handsome and extraordinary, Yushu Linfeng, it is made up out of thin air."
"Then I won't act either."
Zuo Le was a little angry after Fatty Chen ruthlessly exposed the reality. What made him even more unbearable was that Fatty Chen actually thought that he and Lao Liu had a suitable image.
This greatly hurt Zuo Le's self-esteem.
Why does he look so evil and evil?
Where is the vulgar temperament?
I think you, Fatty Chen, are the one who really made things up out of thin air, fabricated them out of thin air, and you even had to add in your imagination to cover up Chen Cang, speechless, hopeless...
………
Zuo Le, who was so angry that he wanted to break up with Fatty Chen, did not see his second uncle Yan Changying who quietly appeared behind him.
The old man watched and had fun for a long time.
At this time, seeing Zuo Le who was "fighting stubbornly", Shi Shiran gave his nephew a stab wound.
"Xiao Chen, there's no need to argue with this guy here. Just call your leader...the other director and tell him about this. Everything will be settled."
"yes!"
Fatty Chen's eyes lit up, he gave his second uncle a thumbs up, and praised: "Ginger is still spicy when it's old."
As he said this, Fatty Chen was about to take out his cell phone, but Zuo Le held him down. He looked at his second uncle Yan Changying with some sadness and anger.
"Uncle, if I play the role of the sixth child, our family will be full of loyal people. Aren't you afraid that my grandpa will entrust you with dreams at night?"
The old man chuckled and said nonchalantly: "Your surname is Zuo, my surname is Yan, what kind of anger does your grandpa have?
Besides, it was you who pulled me into the water first, so you deserve retribution now."
After saying that, the second uncle looked at Fatty Chen happily with his hands behind his back. Fatty Chen shook his phone at Zuo Le with a smirk on his face.
"Brother, what should I say? Should I make this call?"
"Stop fighting, I'll act." Zuo Le looked hopeless.
In fact, Zuo Le himself did not have much resistance to playing the traitor Lao Liu.
Not to mention a traitor, he has been on the set for several years and has been used as a Japanese sidekick several times. The reason why he resisted so much this time was simply because he was dissatisfied with Fatty Chen's contempt for his appearance.
After driving away Fatty Chen and his second uncle on the pretext of starting filming, Zuo Le secretly turned on the selfie mode of his mobile phone and carefully looked at himself on the screen.
Sword eyebrows, starry eyes, face like a crown of jade!
The nose is like a hanging bile, with sharp edges and corners!
Gentle and personable!
Dragon and phoenix postures, nature is natural!
They turned a blind eye to such a handsome young man. Where is the justice and justice?!!!
