Chapter 499 Liuxia Hui, who is famous in the entertainment industry
In August, the filming set of "The Shameful Iron Fist"
Ma Lili was wearing a handsome T-shirt and holding a selfie stick with a small camera hanging on it. She looked at the camera with a serious face.
"Hello everyone, I am reporter Ma Xiao, and I would like to apologize to everyone for my inappropriate behavior in the past few days.
In order to express my sincerity, I will perform a wonderful show for everyone..."
Following the words, Ma Lili took a few steps to the side, and the camera shifted with her body, and a large steaming iron pot appeared on the screen.
Ma Lili leaned against the iron pot with her back, and the expression on her face changed from the original seriousness to one of excitement and arrogance in an instant.
"The show I want to perform is - stew myself in an iron pot!!!"
As she spoke, Ma Lili climbed into the pot, sat down, and greeted the camera enthusiastically.
"Hufufu, this pot of water is so powerful!"
"Netizens, start buying gifts!"
"The yachts and planes are flying!"
"Old man, double-click 666!"
"..."
On a monitor five or six meters away, the director of "The Shameful Iron Fist" Yan Mo looked at the content on the screen and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, this is passed."
Following Yan Mo's nod, Ma Lili's assistant and two staff members immediately rushed forward and wrapped a large white bath towel around Ma Lili, who was soaked all over.
It’s hot in August, so it’s not because I’m worried about Ma Lili freezing, it’s mainly because I want to shield her from being exposed.
"Sister Li, it's not permed."
After putting a towel around Ma Lili, the assistant quickly asked her if she had been burned.
In this "iron pot stew" scene, the earth stove under the iron pot was actually filled with firewood. Of course, the pot and stove were specially made, with several layers separated inside.
But even so, there is still some thermal conductivity.
After a long time, even if the water cannot be boiled, it can still reach 10 degrees Celsius, not to mention the heat of the iron pot itself. The assistant is really afraid that Ma Lili will be scalded.
"It's okay, the temperature is well controlled. Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I wouldn't dare jump in if it's really hot."
Ma Lili comforted the assistant, and without asking for clothes, she went directly to director Yan Mo with a towel on her face and asked.
"Director, how is the effect? Do you want to make another guarantee?"
"Need not."
Yan Mo waved his hand and pointed at the monitor: "The overall presentation effect is very good and the mood is right. The clips in the pot can be used directly. You can have a rest. There will be a big night show tonight."
"Okay, call me if you have any questions."
Ma Lili didn't waste any time and went to the car with her assistant to change clothes. Yan Mo looked at her back with admiration in his eyes.
When casting for the movie, he rejected Xiaohua, an actress from all over the world and Shanhe, and insisted on Ma Lili as the heroine, and Ma Lili lived up to his expectations.
After joining the cast, he worked hard and was the best performer among the many leading actors, which perfectly satisfied Yan Mo's desire to discover Maxima Bole.
………
The scene of "Stewing in an Iron Pot" was filmed in an open space. After Ma Lili finished changing her clothes, the crew moved to film scenes with other leading actors.
Although there weren't many scenes with Ma Lili in the afternoon, she couldn't be separated. She had to act alongside her.
Therefore, Ma Lili did not return to the hotel to rest. She squinted in the car for a while and then directly asked her assistant to help her with the scene and familiarize herself with the lines for the night scene.
After chatting for a while, Yan Mo asked Ma Lili to go over and film for more than an hour. Ma Lili's task was completed and she was ready to go back to the car to recharge her batteries for a while.
As soon as she got into the car, the assistant sent her a mysterious message.
"Sister, Yang Zhuo is not late today, and Wu Jing and Teacher Liang are also here, but there is no scene for them today."
"Really? It's really strange."
Ma Lili was a little surprised when she heard what her assistant said. Yang Zhuo was the A-list actor who played Addison, the male protagonist of "Shameful Iron Fist".
This guy is actually a nice person, especially with a very gentle temper. At least Ma Lili has been working with him for two months, and she has never seen him lose his temper or be cold-faced at anyone.
Ma Lili had a good impression of him. She felt that he didn't put on airs and was a very friendly person.
However, Yang Zhuo is not good at all. He doesn't like to be punctual. He especially likes to be late and occasionally leaves early.
It's easy to understand why I returned early. After all, I am a front-line celebrity. I am very busy at work and sometimes need to participate in some activities. It is normal to take a leave and leave early.
But being late, whether Yang Zhuo is outside or in the crew's hotel, always happens frequently.
How long does it take to start "Shameful Iron Fist"? The number of times the opponent arrives on time is no more than two hands, and the average number of times he is late is 2 to 3 times a day.
Yan Mo also talked to Yang Zhuo about this and advised him to be more punctual, otherwise the male lead would always be late and have a bad influence on the crew.
However, Yang Zhuo always nodded in agreement, but after only one or two attempts, he fell into his old ways.
In Yang Zhuo's own words, this is an old problem for him. The reason is that he is particularly insensitive to time and has advanced procrastination. He always likes to squeeze time at the last moment and dance on the tip of a knife.
The agent was away and the assistant couldn't control him. He wanted to change himself, but he couldn't persist.
Even after setting the alarm clock and being urged repeatedly by his assistant, he always squeezed in time until the last moment before setting off.
Although Yang Zhuo refused to change despite repeated admonitions, he had a very good attitude towards admitting his mistakes and even bought some things to distribute to everyone on the set to express his apology.
In addition, although he is often late, he is not late for too long, ranging from a few minutes to half an hour at most, and in most cases it is about ten minutes.
After all, Yang Zhuo is the male protagonist of the movie and a top-notch celebrity. He is backed by Tianxia Pictures, one of the producers, so his status is here to stay.
Even director Yan Mo couldn't fight with Yang Zhuo just because he was ten minutes late. After several attempts to persuade him, Yan Mo could only let it go.
It is precisely because of this that Ma Lili and her assistant were so surprised when they heard that Yang Zhuo was not late even once today.
As for Mr. Liang, who played the father of the heroine in Wu Jinghe's movie, he came to the set today because he had no show. In the face of the "big event" that Yang Zhuo was not late, he was not so eye-catching.
………
"Sister, is there something going on here?"
The assistant's face was filled with gossip and he looked very eager to eat melon.
"How could I know?"
Ma Lili was actually a little curious. After all, she was an old man who had been in the industry for many years and had participated in many productions of various sizes. From today's unusual atmosphere, she vaguely noticed something.
Speaking of which, Ma Lili's position on the crew of "The Shameful Iron Fist" is a bit awkward.
Let's just say she is the heroine. Among the leading actors, she has the lowest status. Also, she is in the sketch industry and has no friendship with many of these film and television actors.
There are few actresses in this movie. Ma Lili is very bold and generous when she performs comedy, but in fact, her personality is relatively reserved in life.
It was okay in front of acquaintances, but she really didn't have the courage to communicate with a group of unknown male actors.
The crew has been running for so long, and Ma Lili and the other actors have become familiar with each other. Yang Zhuo and Teacher Liang, who have played opposite each other more often, can barely chat for a while and make a few jokes.
Since filming, the happiest and most comfortable moment for Ma Lili was during the days when Shen Teng came. With this old friend taking care of her, she felt at ease.
She is not popular among the leading actors. Ma Lili wants to get to the bottom, but after all, she carries the brand of the number one female, so people below her feel pressure to get along with her.
After two days of fumbling around, Ma Lili gave up on her own initiative, which made the crew breathe a sigh of relief.
Whether she is high or low, Ma Lili feels uncomfortable hanging in the middle...
Not being able to fit into a certain group of people on the set also brought intelligence inconvenience to Ma Lili.
For example, this time, there was obviously something going on, but Ma Lili couldn't find anyone to ask.
Originally, the assistant offensive would be a coup to break the situation, but unfortunately Assistant Ma Lili is a "silly white sweet", honest and obedient, and serious in work.
She can handle other jobs very well, but it would be really difficult for her to deal with the old guys on the crew.
Do you want to take action yourself?
Ma Lili was a little anxious. She didn't dare to take this matter lightly.
Even Yang Zhuo, who has a superior status in the crew, was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. If she didn't figure it out, it would be too late to cry if something went wrong.
After much deliberation, Ma Lili decided whether to ask director Yan Mo, use Shen Teng's connections to ask fellow artist Wu Jing, or simply bribe a well-informed staff member.
However, before she could take action, in the evening, the truth emerged on its own.
Zuo Le, the producer, producer and screenwriter of "The Shameful Iron Fist" came to visit the team and played a guest role.
Good guy!
Only then did Ma Lili understand what was going on. She asked how could Yang Zhuo be so honest. It turned out to be Zuo Le.
Who wouldn't want to leave a good impression on this big shot in the entertainment industry in order to be favored by him and star in the Shanhe drama?
Apart from other things, not long ago, Shanhe and CCTV jointly announced the launch of the "Qin Empire" series, and half of the entertainment industry was excited.
Countless male stars have volunteered to play Qin Shihuang, and other historical roles such as Bai Qi, Zhang Yi, Shang Yang, Lu Buwei, Wang Jian, Li Si, etc. have also been snapped up.
As a first-line actor, Yang Zhuo's fame, status, and qualifications are all enough to compete for him. This time, he can get a first-come-first-served chance to get in touch with Zuo Le through "The Shameful Iron Fist". How could he not perform well?
In fact, Ma Lili was also a little tempted by "The Qin Empire", but she also knew that her acting style did not match this kind of historical drama, and her chances of being selected were too small.
Of course, Shanhe is not limited to the drama "The Qin Empire". If you perform well, you may not have other opportunities.
Ma Lili, who doesn't pay much attention to makeup except when she's on stage, learned that Zuo Le was coming, so she went back to the car and touched up her makeup before going to meet the big boss.
It's not that she has any other thoughts, she is not an artist who is good at appearance. She wears makeup to show her attention and to better express herself.
Besides, how could Zuo Le, a proven veteran cadre, be easily tempted?
Among them is Liu Xiahui, who is well-known in the entertainment industry. This is the golden name given to Zuo Le by countless female stars after verification, and she is well-known in the circle.
Before, some people suspected that Zuo Le had a physical problem or that he liked men.
But later, a brave male artist knocked on the door in the middle of the night and offered himself a pillow to Zuo Le. As a result, Zuo Le was almost banned by the entire industry, which made him mad. Everyone no longer doubted Zuo Le's sexual orientation.
The existence of Xiao Zuoxuan, the prince of Shanhe, also broke the rumors that Zuo Le was in poor health.
The only explanation is that Zuo Dao kept himself clean, his jade was pure and ice-clear, he came out of the mud without being stained, and he washed the ripples without being evil.
Of course, it could also be that Mrs. Tian is good at controlling her husband, or the author doesn’t know how to write multiple female protagonists...
………
When Ma Lili arrived, Zuo Le was chatting with Yan Mo, surrounded by several leading actors and producers.
When he saw Ma Lili, Zuo Le specially said hello to her, and also mentioned the past time when she almost entered the mountains and rivers, and his words were full of praise.
Everyone around looked at Ma Lili in amazement. Ma Lili was flattered by the large transparency and felt deeply grateful to Zuo Le.
Ma Lili is not stupid. She knows why Zuo Le praises her so much in front of everyone. He is obviously aware of her embarrassing position in the crew and consciously helps her to support her.
It is no exaggeration to say that with these few words from Zuo Le, the smiles Ma Lili will see on the set will double in the future.
This is the status of the top boss in the industry.
It may be a bit exaggerated to use "one word can make people live, one word can make people die", but for some people who are still on the rise, it can save them a lot of trouble.
Zuo Le really took good care of Ma Lili. He specifically asked her about her feelings on the set that day and also talked about her role.
The next day, she personally guided Ma Lili in acting. When she was guest-starring in the filming and taking a break to chat, she also asked Ma Lili to follow her, and from time to time she would direct the conversation to Ma Lili.
It can be said that among the many leading actors in the cast of "The Shameful Iron Fist", even Wu Jing, a Shanhe artist, is not treated as well as Ma Lili.
If they hadn't known Zuo Le's temperament, everyone would have thought he was interested in Ma Lili.
However, Zuo Le's behavior also caused everyone to speculate whether he was interested in Ma Lili and wanted to sign her into Shanhe, or if he had some drama and wanted her to act in it.
Anyway, no matter what kind of situation it is, it is undeniable that Ma Lili is taken seriously by Zuo Le, and her status in the crew has risen sharply.
If Zuo Le hadn't been on the set, someone would have come over to get close to Ma Lili.
In the opposite situation to Ma Lili is the male protagonist Yang Zhuo.
This guy doesn't change his bad habits and dares to be late when filming with Zuo Le.
One night for a night scene, Yang Zhuo was more than twenty minutes late than the scheduled arrival time. After arriving, he spent another ten minutes putting on makeup.
The scene that could have been completed in about an hour suddenly took nearly two hours. Zuo Le glanced at Yang Zhuo several times without saying a word.
Then the next day, Yang Zhuo was ten minutes late again.
Zuo Le's face turned dark obviously, but he still didn't have an attack. He just told Yang Zhuo in a veiled way not to be late in the future.
Yang Zhuo agreed and arrived on time in the afternoon. Zuo Le's expression softened slightly, and then on the morning of the third day, Yang Zhuo was late again.
It didn't take long for Zuo Le to get angry.
That day, filming of all Yang Zhuo's scenes was stopped, and Yang Zhuo and his agent came to Zuo Le to apologize.
Zuo Le called the chairman of Tianxia Pictures in front of the two of them, explained the matter clearly, and then asked the chairman of Tianxia how to deal with it.
Without saying a word, the chairman of the world scolded Yang Zhuo. From then on, Yang Zhuo's time sensitivity suddenly returned to normal, and his late-stage procrastination was cured. During the entire filming of "Shameful Iron Fist", Yang Zhuo was not late once
.
The crew of "The Shameful Iron Fist" who witnessed this miracle in the history of human medicine with their own eyes couldn't help but praise it wildly.
