MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 88 Eighty-eight days [two

◎In the early morning, the sun has not yet risen, and a ray of light has just appeared in the sky. The crew of "The Order of the End of the World" had already woken up early and started to prepare for the venue ◎

In the early morning, the sun has not yet risen, and a ray of light has just appeared in the sky.

The crew of "The Order of the End of the World" had already woken up early and started preparing for the setting.

They are going to shoot a fight scene that happened at dawn today, and it has to be shot on location. Everyone walked in a hurry, constantly shuttling on this hill with props.

Yao Bianliang, as the director, of course got up early.

Today's scene is her part, she checked the situation briefly, and then planned to read the lines of the script again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the seat, she saw Xia Hong coming with a large stack of materials.

With a "bang", the young man put a pile of scripts on the table, and took a slow breath.

He looked at the script materials with fighting spirit in his eyes, as if he was going to do a big job.

"Xia Hong, what are you...?" Yao Bianliang had a slim figure, with a vague premonition.

Only now did Xia Hong notice Yao Bianliang, and immediately smiled: "Good morning, Sister Liang. I plan to read more scripts and think about the plot."

Yao Bianliang: "..."

No way, this kid is working so hard?

Yao Bianliang glanced at the large stack of documents, and looked at Xia Hong's energetic appearance, and suddenly doubted his previous judgment.

The legendary "King of Bad Movies" actually worked so hard? This is not scientific!

Or is it that Xia Hong's acting talent has fallen to a certain level, even if he gets up early in the morning to ponder the script, he is still a group of bad actors?

"You... you're working hard." Yao Bianliang forced a smile, and spoke with difficulty.

Xia Hong was a little embarrassed at once, scratched his head and said, "That's not as good as Sister Liang."

Yao Bianliang didn't say anything more. She came to the other side and sat down, began to read the script, while secretly observing Xia Hong's situation.

In sight, Xia Hong picked up the script that was about to be used, and read it very seriously, with a thirst for knowledge in his eyes.

two minutes later...

Xia Hong picked up the mobile phone next to him and started chatting with people.

At the beginning, Yao Bianliang thought that someone was looking for Xia Hong for something, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

However, after five minutes passed, Xia Hong was still chatting.

Ten minutes later, Xia Hong had already put on the headset and started a voice chat with someone. Eyebrows danced with joy and high spirits, with no intention of stopping at all.

Half an hour later, the script was completely thrown aside by Xia Hong.

Holding the mobile phone in both hands, he stared at the screen of the mobile phone with bright eyes. He didn't know what happy content he saw, and the corners of his lips rose wildly.

Yao Bianliang: "..."

Very good, it seems that she is really worrying too much.

It's no wonder Xia Hong's acting skills have always been so good, and he's so enthusiastic about him for three minutes, no matter how good a famous teacher is, he can't play a role well!

She did the right thing in bringing Xia Hong into the crew.

The corners of Yao Bianliang's lips raised, regaining his relaxed and calm mood, he picked up the script and began to read it.

What she didn't know was that Xia Hong was having a serious chat with Ling Huanxuan at a place she couldn't see.

Ling Huanxuan: "Is there anything Brother Xia doesn't understand about what I just said?"

"Understood! Thank you, Teacher Ling, thank you so much." Xia Hong was in a happy mood.

After discussing with Ling Huanxuan for so long, he has gained a lot of new insights into the script. Some points that I didn't understand before, are completely understood now.

Only now did he understand why Yao Bianliang showed such a slightly disappointed expression when he heard their discussion.

After working on it for a long time, they didn't understand their role from the beginning to the end!

Fortunately, it is not too late to figure it out now.

He took all the notes in the electronic notebook in his mobile phone, and planned to organize them later.

Ling Huanxuan said: "It's okay. If you have any questions in the future, you can talk to me face to face, or ask me by voice. As long as I know, I can tell you."

Xia Hong's eyes became brighter, and he quickly thanked Ling Huanxuan.

Looking up, Xia Hong realized that more than three hours had passed. Not far away, Yao Bianliang has finished filming the fighting scene and just got off the wire.

She was dressed in a neat blue and white robe, with a heroic appearance and an outstanding temperament. Because I just finished playing a fight scene, my forehead is covered with sweat. Sweat dripped from the tips of her hair and landed on her silver-white long sword.

"Sister Liang, are you finished?" Xia Hong hurriedly greeted her, and handed her a bottle of water.

Yao Bianliang took it over, thanked him, and glanced nonchalantly at Xia Hong's script.

Very good, clean, white as new, no notes at all!

Yao Bianliang was very satisfied, and looked at Xia Hong with a little more relief.

The young man did a good job. He put the script on the table to pretend, and then played with his mobile phone all morning.

Not bad, very promising!

"Still reading the script?" Yao Bianliang asked.

Xia Hong nodded: "Well, if Sister Liang is not busy, I have a few questions I want to ask you. Is it convenient for you now?"

Yao Bianliang never thought that Xia Hong really had a question to ask, so he was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Of course."

Because Ling Huanxuan already explained the role, Xia Hong asked Yao Bianliang a few questions, which were more about acting.

After all, there are system regulations, Yao Bianliang didn't hide his secrets, and answered Xia Hong's questions one by one.

Anyway, in her opinion, based on Xia Hong's behavior, she doesn't look like a hard-working actor after all.

Even if you tell him the method, can he really do it?

I'm afraid not.

For things like acting, if there is no hard work behind it, it is difficult to make a qualitative leap with just a little advice!

Therefore, Yao Bianliang confidently and boldly explained all the problems to Xia Hong, and did not forget to praise Xia Hong.

"From the first moment I saw you, I have been very optimistic about you! I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to perform to my satisfaction," Yao Bianliang patted Xia Hong on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You The attitude towards acting is very good, remember to keep it up!"

As for your question to her, what is "the effect of the performance that satisfies her"?

That is of course the true level of the king of bad movies.

I hope Xia Hong will not disappoint her hope, continue to maintain the perfect attitude of reading the script for two minutes and fishing for a whole day, and carry out the spirit of fishing to the end!

Xia Hong didn't expect Yao Bianliang to praise himself so much, so he was a little excited. He nodded heavily: "Sister Liang, don't worry, I will definitely perform well!"

When Yao Bianliang turned to leave, there was still relief and relaxation in his eyes.

Xia Hong stood where he was, feeling high in fighting spirit.

He couldn't be idle anymore, so he immediately picked up the script and planned to go back to the room to rehearse it by himself.

"ding dong"

The phone rang, and Xia Hong picked up the phone to check, only to find that it was the manager's call.

"My ancestor, what are you doing?" the agent said helplessly, "I have sent you messages several times, but you have not replied!"

"Recently, you have been approached by a few good endorsement commercials. When you are filming "Order of the End of the World", take the time to accept them."

Endorsement ads?

Xia Hong frowned slightly and hesitated.

Just now, sister Liang praised him for his good attitude.

As a result, he accepted the endorsement as soon as he turned his head, and was busy shooting commercials while acting, so what?

What's more, Yao Bianliang's acting skills are better than him, and his celebrity is higher than him, but he stays on the set every day to concentrate on filming, and has never asked for leave to go out to shoot commercials.

"Why don't you talk anymore," the agent's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Is it because Teacher Yao is dissatisfied with your frequent leave? I can go and communicate with her. You are top-notch anyway, and it is impossible to stay here all day long." The crew, she can understand if she thinks about it."

"We are still the same as before. We usually spend 70% of the time shooting commercial endorsements and attending variety show activities, and the remaining 30% of the time is used for filming."

The manager's tone was taken for granted, but Xia Hong struggled for a while.

He finally said: "I'm sorry, Brother Wang, I plan to do a good job in the drama "The Order of the End of the World". If there are any other invitations to activities in the future, please push them to me."

broker:? ?

The manager was completely stunned, almost thinking that he heard it wrong.

"Are you crazy? How can you maintain your popularity without showing your face and marketing all the time? After a few months, no one will remember you!"

"Of course you can act well. I didn't say to let you deal with it while acting. It's just that you have to make other arrangements in your free time."

"What's more, if you don't accept commercial endorsements, how can you make money? You can't just rely on this salary!"

Of course, Xia Hong also considered the problems mentioned by the manager.

But regarding this question, it was the result of his contemplation for a long time. He didn't mean to change his mind.

"Brother Wang, when I was acting, I tried my best to think about the script. But almost every play failed."

Speaking of this, Xia Hong sighed softly: "Do you really think that the practice of taking a plane to other places to shoot commercials in the morning, returning to the crew to shoot movies in the afternoon, and going to other places to shoot variety shows on weekends can really calm me down?" Do you want to settle down and think about the script?"

The broker was silent.

This is naturally impossible. Actors only have so much time and energy. If they are busy with other things every day, they will naturally not spend much time on the script.

However, he still couldn't understand Xia Hong's brain circuit.

"You are a star, and acting is indeed your duty, but shooting commercials, acting in variety shows, and attending events are also things you must do!" said the agent, "And, don't other star actors come here like this? ?”

From the manager's point of view, only those who don't get invitations to advertising campaigns spend their time on the set every day.

It is impossible for a celebrity with a little bit of fame to devote all his energy to filming.

Xia Hongdao: "However, Sister Liang also spends her time in the production team all day long, never filming endorsements."

The manager was helpless: "What do you compare with Yao Bianliang? Is she a normal star? She is simply an outlier!"

"But I want to try," Xia Hong still insisted, "Brother Wang, just let me try once! I want to see if I can play a role well when I focus 100% on acting."

The manager had a headache. At this moment, he regretted sending Xia Hong to Yao Bianliang's crew.

Originally, he just wanted Yao Bianliang to take the lead and make Xia Hong's acting skills better.

He never thought that Yao Bianliang would lead Xia Hong in this direction!

However, the agent also knew in his heart that Xia Hong's character belonged to the type of accepting death. Since he is determined to act seriously, it is almost difficult for others to change his decision.

The agent thought about it, and finally chose to compromise: "Okay, just think about the pros and cons of the matter yourself."

It's just a trial, and it only takes a few months before and after.

At worst, let Xia Hong take a vacation and let him rest and adjust during this time.

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Wang." Xia Hong was very happy.

The two chatted briefly for a few more words before hanging up the call.

Xia Hong originally thought that in the crew of "The Order of the End of the World", besides Yao Bianliang, he should be the only actor who spends time on the crew every day.

It was only after a few days of observation that he discovered that there was another person in exactly the same situation as him.

"Sister Wen, you also got up early today to rehearse the martial arts scene?"

In the early morning of this day, Xia Hong ran into Wen Xuan who got up early and worked hard again, and couldn't help being suspicious.

"Don't you need to shoot commercials, or participate in other activities?" he asked.

Wen Xuan glanced at him, then asked with a faint smile, "Then you don't need to do these things?"

Xia Hong was dumbfounded.

He doesn't do these, of course because he wants to concentrate on acting!

Only by working hard and focusing on research without distraction can you put your own state into the role and deduce the situation that best fits the script.

Moreover, this drama is an ancient costume martial arts drama, not only has many lines, but also many fighting scenes.

If you want to get these things right, it will take a lot of time and hard work.

Wen Xuan looked at him and smiled slightly: "Naturally, I want to act seriously just like you."

When Yao Bianliang invited her to act in "The Order of the End of the World", Wen Xuan had already made up her mind.

Her career has been going downhill, so she needs a chance to prove herself, and also needs a chance to get back to the original feeling.

She has also played such a classic role! Even today, it is still often mentioned.

That being the case, why has she been stuck in a bad commercial drama and can't get out? Relying on one's own strength to play a good role, isn't this a better way out!

Xia Hong's eyes lit up: "Sister Wen, you are really dedicated."

Wen Xuan smiled helplessly: "It's not about professionalism, this is what an actor should do."

The movement of Wen Xuan and Xia Hong naturally attracted the attention of other actors.

The crew members soon discovered that the atmosphere of the crew of "The Order of the End of the World" seemed to be very different from other crews.

In other production groups, the big-name actors are usually so busy that they have to deal with various endorsements, advertisements, and activities every day, and they are overwhelmed.

In order to cater to their arrangements, the entire crew is usually required to cooperate.

Sometimes, when an actor can't get back to the crew because he is out shooting commercials, the crew needs to adjust the order of acting, or simply let a stand-in appear on stage, and wait for the actor himself to come and then make up a few more frontal shots.

For this kind of situation, everyone has become accustomed to it and is used to it.

Therefore, when they saw that in "The Order of the End of the World", several well-known actors did not go out and stayed in the crew every day to study acting, everyone felt very novel.

"Don't these people need to accept commercials? They shouldn't. With their status, there should be too many endorsements and activities to count."

"It is said that in order to be serious about acting, they pushed off all other arrangements. During this time, they stayed on the set every day, concentrating on thinking about the script."

"Really? This is too dedicated!"

"As expected of Mr. Yao's crew. The leading actors are all so devoted to acting. If it were any other director, those leading actors would definitely not be so peaceful."

"Isn't that right. These few memorize their lines, and the number of acting NGs is very small. Our work progress is much faster than usual."

A few big actors focus on acting, but some small actors have to leave the crew to go out from time to time.

This abnormal phenomenon can be called a miracle.

Those well-known actors gradually found that their memorization of their lines was terrible, and the number of NGs in their acting was too many, which can be said to slow down the progress of the entire crew.

Look at Yao Bianliang, Wen Xuan, and Xia Hong. They are thinking about the script every day, but their minds are on various business activities. The contrast is very sharp!

After coming down again and again, they themselves felt embarrassed, and secretly decided to work harder in private.

And in this atmosphere, Hu Qingnian, the actor second only to Xia Hong, couldn't sit still for the first time.

He was frowning, and couldn't help discussing with his agent: "Do you think I should reduce my business activities and refuse those advertising endorsements?"

In the crew of "The Order of the End of the World", the three most famous people are undoubtedly Yao Bianliang, Wen Xuan, and Xia Hong.

And now, these three people have never asked for leave since the filming started, and they have never left the film crew to participate in activities elsewhere!

They are very busy every day, either thinking about the script, or practicing hard to play.

Among them, Xia Hong practiced the hardest, and already had many scars on his body, all of which were left during rehearsal and play.

On the other hand, what about Hu Qingnian?

No coffee position, no qualifications. But in the entire crew, he is the one who works the least hard and demands the most.

He has to participate in commercial activities for a while, and adjusts his acting time for a while to make it easier for him to shoot commercials.

As a result, sometimes, he can't even memorize the lines proficiently enough, making frequent mistakes when filming.

After doing this for a few days, Hu Qingnian himself felt embarrassed.

When he was in other crews, everyone was just like him, and those top actors would only be busier than him, so Hu Qingnian naturally didn't think it was a big deal.

But now, the main actors in "Order of the End of the World" are more famous than him and have better acting skills than him, but they are all concentrating on acting.

In this way, he became that special existence instead.

How can this work?

After Hu Qingnian was selected by Yao Bianliang, he was really happy for a long time. He cherishes this opportunity very much, and hopes to continue to cooperate with the other party in the future.

But according to his current performance, it would be considered generous for Yao Bianliang not to put him on the blacklist, how could he continue to cooperate with him.

In fact, the manager is also a little guilty. Of course, he knows the current situation of his artist.

After thinking for a while, he tentatively said, "Then...for the past few months, you can just stay on the set and film? Just think of it as a way to calm yourself down and learn acting from a few seniors."

It's only three or four months, and it's not too long.

Hu Qingnian is not a top-notch person, and his usual advertising expenses are not much, so the profits he brings to the company are limited.

Instead of letting him be special in the crew, it is better to put him in the crew, act seriously and exercise a lot.

Hu Qingnian also had this idea. After thinking about it, he agreed to the proposal: "Okay, then you can push all the commercial activities for me during this period!"
