Chapter 74 The crew
"If you don't go, don't go. What a big deal, it's important to protect Sister Ran!" Yang Mi didn't even look at Xiao Yi, and replied casually.
This is unscientific. In the morning, I thought that if I didn’t accompany her to the class reunion, I would have to deal with my Yang Mi. Why did I promise not to go so easily?
"No, Yang Mi, did you have to let me go in the morning? You even came to my house specifically?"
"Tsk, that's because I don't know you're a driver for Sister Ran. Now I know that you have to protect Sister Ran at all times, so of course I don't have to go! And I'm not here to your house, this is Sister Ran's house!"
Xiao Yi...
"Aunt Yang Mi, Niu Niu also protects Moma. You can go wherever Moma goes." The little girl in Yang Mi's arms raised her smiling face covered with rice and said unwillingly.
"Ah, Niu Niu is so powerful, aunt wants to take Niu Niu away." Yang Mi has been so full of love since she learned that the little girl is Mu Ran's daughter, and she has been holding Xiaotu and never letting go.
"Gee, Niu Niu has to protect Momo and can't leave with Aunt Yang Mi."
"Haha, that aunt will follow Niu Niu, okay?"
"Okay, okay, Aunt Yang Mi, do you also protect Moma with Niu Niu and Shu Shu Baba? Then Niu Niu will have another person who can play games, giggle."
......
After lunch, Mu Ran took Yang Mi to visit the entire villa. Yang Mi also helped Mu Ran pack up what she needed to go to the crew today, and packed a large suitcase, which made Xiao Yi complain.
It's not so far away, and I can come home at any time, so why do I bring so many things? It's like moving.
Afterwards, Mu Ran and Yang Mi said farewell reluctantly. Mu Ran repeatedly told Yang Mi that she must come to her house frequently in the future before sending Yang Mi away.
Xiao Yi looked helplessly at the scene where the two of them were like sisters who had been separated for many years and were suddenly separated again. He didn't know what to say, so he could only keep shaking his head, saying that he really couldn't understand.
At 1:30 pm, after the little girl got up after taking a nap, Xiao Yi and others officially set off for the crew. This time, Sister Li went to the crew with her. She is the company's manager in charge of film and television. Now, since this department has just been established, there is nothing much to do. She contacted Mu Ran's TV series, so she had to go and watch it.
After nearly three hours of driving, Xiao Yi and others finally arrived at Yanjing Film and Television City, which is one of the top ten film and television cities in China, mainly based on Ming and Qing dynasties. The TV series Mu Ran was going to film this time was a Qing palace drama, with Mu Ran playing the leading female role.
When we arrived at the film and television city, there were crew members and many reporters who had arrived after hearing the news. As soon as Mu Ran's nanny car appeared at the door, the reporters immediately surrounded him, forcing Xiao Yi to stop the car.
Li Ke, who is still sitting in the co-pilot, has rich experience. He opened the car window and shouted to the reporters: "My friends, please give in. The crew will hold a press conference later. Everyone has the opportunity to interview. Now please give in." Li Ke is one of the personnel leaders in the company's artist economic department. Today, he also came to the crew to get familiar with it. He may not have to deal with the crew in the future.
After listening to Li Ke's words, the reporters looked at the closed doors and windows of the nanny's car, and they could only reluctantly make way.
"What's wrong with these reporters today? Why are they blocking people at the door? Didn't the crew arrange a meeting of reporters?" Sister Li looked at the reporters outside the car and said to Mu Ran in confusion.
"Who knows?" Mu Ran also frowned slightly.
Xiao Yi stopped in front of the zero-hour rest shed built by the crew of the car. Then, he got out of the car and opened the door of the rear compartment. Mu Ran and Sister Li got off first, while Xiao Qi hugged the little girl and finally got off.
As soon as the few people got out of the car, a middle-aged man came over and greeted Mu Ran with a smile: "Mu Ran, we're meeting again!"
Mu Ran obviously knew the other party, so she shook hands with the other party very politely, "Director Wang, we are working together again."
This middle-aged man is Wang Tao, the director of this TV series. He is a well-known TV series in the industry, especially the TV series he filmed from the Ming and Qing dynasties, which have achieved great success.
"Yes, since that collaboration, I have always thought about working with you again, and I have never found a chance." Director Wang's image of Mu Ran is also very good. The two of them collaborated once before, and it was also a TV series from the Ming Dynasty directed by Director Wang. Mu Ran only played the second female lead, but her performance impressed Director Wang.
Later, Mu Ran introduced Xiao Yi and Sister Li to Director Wang, but Director Wang just shook hands with everyone with a smile. After all, he was a director, so there was no need to be too polite to anyone other than the actors.
Afterwards, Xiao Yi stayed in the car and accompanied the little girl, while Sister Li looked for her friend, the producer of the TV series, Li Ke also accompanied her, while Xiao Qi accompanied Mu Ran and Director Wang to leave.
Xiao Yi was bored in the car, and the little girl was curiously crawling on the car window and watching the busy crew outside. Although Mu Ran had just come to the crew today, the TV series had been filming for a month. After all, the schedules of each actor are different, so it is impossible for them to gather together to film at one time.
"Shu Shu Da, Niu Niu wants to go out to play." After looking out the window for a while, the little girl turned her head and looked at Xiao Yi pitifully and said.
Xiao Yi never refused the little girl's request, so he readily put on a coat, put on a hat and scarf, hugged the little girl and got out of the car.
In fact, Xiao Yi is also quite curious about how the TV series was filmed. Although his memory is as good as the loser Xiao Yi learned when he was in college, he has never really seen the crew after all.
"Shu Shu Da, why do those Shu Shu Da's hair so long?" The girl asked curiously when she saw the extras with Qing Dynasty hairstyle walking by her from time to time.
"Haha, those uncles want to play ancient people, so they have to dress up as ancient people."
"But who were ancient people?"
"In ancient times, they were uncles and aunts from a long time ago. The clothes and braids they wore were different from our Niu Niu, and they were also different from our parents."
"Oh, why do those aunts have different hair from those who are sour?"
"Haha, because uncles and aunts are different from each other, just like dad and mom, dad's hair is so short and mom's hair is so long."
......
Once a child develops a hundred thousand whys, he will always let any adult rack his brains to answer. Xiao Yi is now doing his best to answer the little girl's question.
Xiao Yi took the little girl to start walking on the set, while Mu Ran was taken with makeup. The most troublesome thing about costume dramas was the actors' makeup, so the director did not arrange scenes for Mu Ran during the day, only a few night scenes in the evening, and a simple press conference was held in the afternoon.
Originally, a press conference was held when the TV series started filming, but at that time, Mu Ran, the female lead and the other male lead, had no schedule, so he could only hold the press conference until today.
After Mu Ran put on makeup, the director brought everyone to the place where he was preparing to hold a press conference, where there were already many reporters waiting.
"Director Wang, why are there so many reporters today? They were all invited by our crew?" Mu Ran asked in confusion when she saw so many reporters at the scene.
Generally, when a reporter's meeting for a TV series or movie, some media will be invited to participate in the meeting to promote the TV series or movie in advance. However, if there are no big-name actors or directors, the media will rarely take the initiative to attend such a startup meeting.
But today I don’t know what happened, at least hundreds of reporters came to the scene. This is so abnormal. Even if Wang Tao is the director of this TV series, Mu Ran and other thought that the leading actor Hu Run should not have so many people.
"I don't know, the crew only invited more than 30 reporters. I don't know why so many people came." Director Wang also looked at the reporters in confusion.
Hu Run said, "Why do you care about so many? The more reporters come, the better. In this way, our TV series will become popular before it can be filmed."
Director Wang and Mu Ran laughed after hearing Hu Run's words, and laughed with the supporting roles in front of him. Hu Run was right, they wanted to hope that the more reporters would come, the better.
It was soon time, and Wang Tao led the main creators of the TV series into the venue with a smile and sat on the stage.
"Hello everyone, media friends. Today is the on-campus meeting for our crew. Due to schedule, this meeting has been held until now. I hope everyone understands... Okay, please ask the reporters and friends below. Due to time constraints, everyone can only ask one question." Director Wang is also an old man. He briefly introduced the crew and this TV series, and then asked the reporters to ask questions.
Then the reporters began to raise their hands to ask questions.
"Hello Mu Ran, I want to ask what role you play in this TV series? What do you think of this TV series?"
"Hello Hu Run, please introduce your understanding of the role you play and your feelings about working with Miss Mu Ran."
"Director Wang, I would like to ask what you expect from this drama, and what is the reason why you asked Mu Ran and Hu Run to play the male and female protagonists."
......
The reporters who asked these questions were invited by the crew, and the questions asked were all related to the TV series. Mu Ran and others also answered them very readily and without any leakage.
But after these invited reporters asked questions, the situation was different when it was the turn of those uninvited reporters to ask questions.
"Hello Mu Ran, I would like to ask if you and Mr. Xiao Yi are husband and wife?"
When Mu Ran heard the reporter's question, she was stunned for a moment and replied in confusion: "I don't know why you asked this, my friend of the reporter. Moreover, this is a meeting for TV series. Please ask some questions related to TV series, thank you."
When Director Wang and others heard Mu Ran’s answer, they nodded unconsciously and thought that Mu Ran is indeed very experienced and good at being a human being. After all, you can’t be overwhelmed by the TV series meeting.
After Mu Ran answered, the host on the stage immediately called another reporter, but what everyone on the stage did not expect was that the reporters behind him asked Mu Ran, and they all asked questions about her relationship with Xiao Yi.
When he avoided a reporter's question again, Mu Ran frowned slightly, and Director Wang and others also frowned. They now also saw that the reason why so many reporters came this time was obviously for Mu Ran.
Judging from the current situation, if Mu Ran did not answer the reporter's questions, they would keep asking, so Director Wang gently pulled Mu Ran under the table, and the latter glanced at Director Wang and immediately understood what he meant.
"Ahem, since so many reporters asked me about my relationship with Xiao Yi, I will answer it, but please ask my friends to ask questions about TV series as much as possible afterwards." Mu Ran coughed gently, "I don't know why my friends are asking about my relationship with Xiao Yi today. I think I have said this question many times, and at the beginning, we have explained our relationship to the public and the media and displayed the relevant contracts. I would like to emphasize it again here that I am still single at present, and my relationship with Xiao Yi is as mentioned before. If I really fall in love or get married, I will announce it as soon as possible. Thank you everyone!" Mu Ran explained the matter briefly and stopped talking.
The reporters in the audience were obviously not satisfied with this answer. A reporter who asked the question before did not wait for the host to call him and shouted directly: "What do you explain the photos published by the media?"
Everyone on the stage looked at Mu Ran in confusion, and Mu Ran looked puzzled, "I don't quite understand what this reporter friend said. What photos did the media publish?"
Chapter completed!
