Chapter 372 Aunt Rong

Although there was a stand-in, Zhao Xinxin, the crew still had to delay some filming that night because of Liu Qianqian's illness.

For this purpose, director Yu Min also talked to Liu Qianqian for a while.

But after all, she is a girl, and she has a big beard.

In addition, Yu Min did not take advantage of the situation as she was not feeling well.

I just asked about her physical condition and asked her to get enough rest.

If the person involved was Zhang Yuan... Yu Min would be very excited.

Of course, not all actresses receive this treatment.

Before becoming famous, most female stars have experienced being scolded by the director on the set. The scolding was very harsh and they didn’t care whether you were a man or a woman.

The next day, the drama continued as usual, and nothing serious went wrong.

Liu Xixi’s acting skills are just okay, and her understanding of the characters is not that deep.

But fortunately, the characteristic of Xiaolongnu is that she has a bit of "expression paralysis", which can be regarded as playing to her strengths and avoiding her weaknesses.

And Liu Qianqian looks sweeter than Li Ruotong, so when filming emotional scenes, especially when showing expressions of joy, admiration, and happiness, the effect is actually better than Li Ruotong.

"Oh, this food is really bad."

In the evening, the crew had switched to a new catering supplier.

Without you, Zhang the Butcher, the crew can still eat hairy pigs... That's what Yu Min and the others thought.

But most bosses don’t have the conscientiousness of Zhang Yuan. In addition, he deliberately improved the food on the last day, so the contrast is particularly obvious after changing to a new catering contractor.

Liu Qianqian held her chin with one hand and complained with a crooked mouth.

"It's quite different." Wang Jia also fiddled with the plate with chopsticks.

"But is there a possibility that this is the normal meal for the crew?" Wang Jia said again.

"Of course, it was Brother Zhang Yuan who added extra dishes to our meals before. Others aren't so kind." Zhao Xunxun said while eating.

"It just so happens that if the food is not good, you can eat less, so you don't have to hang on wires at night..." Wang Jia smiled and stimulated his classmate with words.

"Ah... stop talking." Liu Qianqian immediately reached out and covered her mouth.

Zhang Yuan watched and smiled without saying a word.

"The food for these leading actors is already good, and the response is so great."

"The eating habits of those extras were pretty average to begin with, so the contrast was even greater."

"It seems my plan should be pretty much correct."

In addition to asking Cao Jianjun to prepare an extra rich meal on the last day, he also did other things.

For example, let Cao Jianjun establish a good relationship with the other party by taking the initiative to apologize.

This is not to please the other party, but to make it easier to plant the nail.

He asked his other brothers to find out the income of the extras in the crew.

For a large crew like "The Return of the Condor Heroes", there are often hundreds of extras, and the daily expenses can be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

The bearded man was quite stingy and the money he gave was not that much. He was also very good at stirring up trouble, causing the leaders of the major groups to compete with each other and bid to lower the price themselves.

In the end, after a day's work for an extra, not counting overtime at night, the salary he or she would get would probably be around 50 or 60 yuan, minus the commission taken by the group leader.

This income is neither high nor low among extras, and considering that costume acting is such a tiring job, it is actually low.

Those martial arts school students appear in front of the camera all day long and have to perform a lot of fighting scenes.

These people all have to show their faces, unlike those extras, many of whom just walk around the street or squat in the corner.

The work of students in martial arts schools is much more tiring.

Logically speaking, their income should be very high.

But after Zhang Yuan investigated, he almost laughed out loud.

30 yuan a day.

This is the income of those martial arts school students.

If there is a night show, add another ten dollars.

Although three meals were provided and there was collective accommodation with large bunk beds, the food and sleeping conditions were very poor, even worse than those of migrant workers.

That's all, and they only give that little money.

Zhang Yuan estimated that about 60 to 70 percent of the money was exploited by their superiors, which made the remuneration they received so "touching."

It is said that the martial arts school is a partner of the crew, but the income is not as much as that brought in by an ordinary van. I don’t know where the extras come from.

This is just like in the computer city, “strangers get half the points, acquaintances win the grand prize”.

The more you cooperate, the less they treat you as human beings, and the money is all made by the bosses.

What would happen if the students at the martial arts school accidentally found out about the salary gap?

You know, this bunch of "vulgar warriors" would beat the cook if the meal was not good.

The purpose of letting Cao Jianjun get along well with them was to find an opportunity, and if he was not careful, the matter would be leaked out.

By then, I'm afraid that even Ma Guocheng won't have to add fuel to the fire to cause a big mess.

The more Zhang Yuan thought about it, the happier he became, and he even laughed out loud while eating.

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing that he was happy, Liu Qianqian asked with a bad look on her face.

"Are you laughing at me..." She was really traumatized by the embarrassing incident yesterday.

"Nothing, just thought of some happy things."

"By the way, why don't you eat?"

"no appetite."

There was a wire action scene today, and she was afraid of getting nauseous again, so she went too far and didn't dare to eat.

He just moved his chopsticks a few times and finished it.

Liu Xiaoli, the mother standing by, was also a little annoyed seeing her like this.

I worry if I eat too much, and I worry if I don’t eat.

"Can you walk with me?"

After dinner, Liu Qianqian took the initiative to find him.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked when he saw her acting so abnormally.

"I haven't been feeling happy lately."

"I vomited in public, but I didn't poop in public, so it's not necessary."

"You..." Xixi rolled her eyes at him and then sighed.

"Not just because of what happened yesterday."

"In fact, I was a little unhappy before the crew started filming."

"The negative comments and rumors about me online finally decreased a little, but recently they have increased again."

Oh...it's about this again.

Zhang Yuan knew that the problem of network environment would only get worse and worse, and he could only rely on himself to deal with it.

He had counselled the other person before in Hengdian Hospital, and he thought that was why she came to talk to him.

"Why are there more?"

"It's all because of the large-scale broadcast of The Legend of Sword and Fairy." Having said this, she sighed.

"Many gamers said that my Zhao Linger did not match the image they had in mind."

"Many people also said that I acted badly and had no acting skills."

"Then they are right." Zhang Yuan replied, and immediately felt the pain on his waist from being pinched by two fingers.

"Okay, okay, you have good acting skills, that's enough." He hurriedly said while slapping her arm away.

"Zhang Yuan, do I really have no talent for acting and poor professional skills?"

She felt even worse because she had vomited on the set yesterday, affecting the filming of the crew.

I even feel that what is said on the Internet makes sense.

My mood became even worse.

Zhang Yuan did not answer immediately, but thought about it.

"She has been holding back on talking about it lately."

"But I'm afraid I still can't help but go online and read these comments and comments about myself from time to time."

"It's just that I'm not crying like before. I'm keeping it in my heart."

“I have grown up after all.”

"It just grew, but not completely. It still went inside."

Besides, her acting talent is indeed not first-rate, but only second-rate, and it also depends a lot on the matching degree of the role.

But when it comes to professional attitude, she is actually first-rate, and this is also her greatest strength.

Her biggest problem is not actually her acting ability. After all, she is still young and has many opportunities to improve.

Her problem is that her ability does not match her fame! At the same time, there is also a problem of personal positioning.

The agent Godfather wants to make her a Chinese superstar. After all, this way, his income will be higher.

Although Liu Qianqian has not yet made it completely clear, she is more inclined to become an actor. There are differences and disagreements between the two.

"Why don't you answer?" She asked sadly when she saw Zhang Yuan remained silent.

Could it be that he really thinks so...

"Whether you act well or not, there will be people who like it or dislike it."

"You just need to pay attention to those who like you." Zhang Yuan said as he walked.

"Why didn't you persuade me like last time?" Xixi asked curiously.

"I've said everything I need to say. From now on, you'll have to digest it on your own. No one can help you."

"You can do it!" Liu Qianqian suddenly jumped in front of him.

"Neither can I."

"You can do it," she said, smiling and raising her finger.

"Before, there were fewer rumors about me online, because of the problems you had on the last set."

"At that time, everyone on the Internet was scolding you, but no one was scolding me."

"How about you sacrifice yourself and find something to get scolded for, and help me draw fire."

After saying that, she smiled and blinked.

Zhang Yuan: …

He knew she was joking with him.

She's been a bit rebellious lately. In the past, I was the only one who teased her, but now she teases me all the time.

In fact, the reason why Liu Qianqian went to chat with him was that, on the one hand, she knew that no matter what happened, Zhang Yuan would always find a way.

Secondly, there were the most rumors about them on the Internet some time ago, which made her feel a sense of mutual understanding and sympathy.

What's more, the other party is one of the few people besides her mother with whom she can open her heart and talk about her personal matters.

Zhang Yuan thought about it for a moment and replied with a wicked smile.

"If you say so, it's not impossible."

"For you, I can make some sacrifices."

"Really?" Liu Qianqian didn't expect him to reply like that, and she was a little touched.

"It's like this. The easiest way to attract attention online is to create some gossip."

"In this case, I will go find some actresses to have a scandal with."

"Should I look for Sister Zi Han or your classmate Wang Jia?"

Liu Qianqian's expression gradually collapsed.

"Fan Bingbing is quite popular, and I'm quite familiar with her, so why not start a scandal with her?"

The corners of her mouth drooped.

"You have many beautiful girls in Beijing Film Academy, why don't you introduce a few to me?"

"No!" Xixi shook her head and walked forward, twisting her waist.

“This is not to help you.”

"I don't need your help!"

"I do."

"I do not want to!"

When Liu Qianqian thought about reporting Zhang Yuan's intimacy with another woman, her heart ached and she felt a little sour and uncomfortable.

You little brat, you're still trying to get into the mood with me.

Three sentences will break your defense.

"Let's go." Seeing that she seemed angry, Zhang Yuan stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing? I'm ignoring you." Liu Qianqian pouted, feeling a little unconvinced, knowing that she had lost to him again.

"I'll take you to meet someone."

"who?"

"Someone who can help you."

But more than ten minutes later, Zhang Yuan led her to an old lady.

"Hello, Teacher Li."

"Hey, hello."

The person Zhang Yuan brought her to meet was Li Mingqi, who played Lin Chaoying's maid who played Xiaolongnu in the play, and also played Grandma Sun who was Xiaolongnu's martial arts teacher.

Teacher Li didn't have many scenes in the film. He just came to the crew yesterday and only met the two of them.

Teacher Li Mingqi can be considered a grassroots actor. She came from a poor family and started working in a factory as a child laborer at the age of eleven.

Later, he started out in the propaganda team, worked his way into the Railway Art Troupe, then to the Central Orchestra, and finally switched to acting in dramas. Because dramas were adapted into film and television, he entered the film and television industry.

She has seen and eaten all this in her life.

Although he has no experience studying in a professional school, his acting skills are among the best in China.

But in addition to professional performance skills, there is another thing that makes him professional.

"Cyberbullying".

Back in the era when the Internet was not yet fully developed, teacher Li Mingqi suffered from "cyberbullying".

In the "Water Margin" broadcast in 98, she played the role of Wang Po.

After playing this role, the old lady was badly scolded!

But that’s nothing, because in the same year, she also had another drama broadcast.

"My Fair Princess"!
She plays the role of Rong Mama, a needle master.

With these two characters, can Teacher Li Mingqi get any better?
There was no such thing as cyberbullying back then, it was all real offline.

After Teacher Li was recognized while riding in a taxi, the driver refused to take him.

After being recognized while buying vegetables at the market, he was cursed at by the vendor and almost hit by eggs.

She was even refused to be picked up from school by her grandson because she was afraid that his classmates would know that her grandmother was Rong Mama.

In those days, the only one who had the same "treatment" as Teacher Li Mingqi was Teacher Feng Yuanzheng, who became famous all over the country for "An Jiahe".

Of course, we all know later that none of the people stabbed by Rong Mama were good people.

But at that time, the pressure Teacher Li faced was much greater than that of Liu Qianqian, who was attacked online.

Teacher Li has also played Empress Dowager Cixi several times, the mother-in-law in "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape", and many other roles that make people's teeth itch.

When it comes to adjusting one’s mindset and reconciling with oneself, these veteran artists are better.

"Teacher Li, this is the case. Our little dragon girl has encountered some problems recently..."

After talking to the old lady, Teacher Li immediately pulled Xixi to his side.

The old lady's character is very different on and off the stage. She is a very kind and wise old woman.

"Girl, we are not angry or sad."

"As actors, this is how we make a living."

“The audience is also human and has emotions.”

“Sometimes the things they say and do may not be directed at you.”

"I'm just unhappy in life and want to vent."

"As actors, we sometimes have to think about the audience..."

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything and just listened beside him.

What he had said to Liu Xixi before was mostly about analyzing these people's thoughts and actions from the perspective of human nature.

Teacher Li is different. She is tolerant, understanding, and even caring for her audience.

As the grandparents and grandchildren talked, their eyes became red.

After chatting for a long time, before the night scene started shooting, Liu Qianqian's mood was obviously much better and she was smiling.

[Received thanks from Liu Xixi, appearance +1! ]

"Are you happy?"

"Yeah." Liu Qianqian looked at him with a smile.

"I knew you would find a way to make me happy."

Liu Xiaoli also found that her daughter's mood seemed to be much better.

The next day, the bearded man who had been "missing" for a long time suddenly returned to the crew.

And he didn't come back alone.

Accompanying him, in addition to a large number of media reporters, there was also a heavyweight figure... (End of this chapter)
