Chapter 156

Zhang Ran took students to the crew for two purposes. One is to let students watch Chen Daoming and their performances and learn something from them; the other is to let them have more contact with the crew and understand the tricks, so that they will not suffer any losses when they join the crew themselves.︽,

The crew is a small society, with all kinds of people, including big actors who earn millions a year, and field workers who rely on hard work to make a living. There are various rules, whether it is light or dark. If you don’t understand these, you may be bleeding and you don’t know why.

For example, someone in the crew told you that you have good conditions and you will have a big drama to be played in a while. Are you interested? If you are inexperienced, you will be impatient to say that you are interested. But if you say that, people will definitely not look for you. The correct way is to play hard to get, saying "I have a drama to be played recently, and I don't know if I can make a free time" and let people know that you are very busy so that they will cherish it.

In Zhang Ran's opinion, this incident is quite typical. Lin Huiru, who is such a person in this circle, relies on his financial support, and has become a little famous and arrogant. Such a person is untenable in this circle. Just like Erkang, who is now popular, will quickly become obscene in a few years, but will not be able to be a human being.

Looking at Lin Huiru's figure leaving, Zhang Ran sneered, announced that the crew would take a temporary rest, and then called the students in the class: "You have seen this today, how do you feel?"

"Teacher Zhang Ran, I think you did the right thing, so I should let her get out!"

"That's right, her assistant was a little slower yesterday, and she slapped her in the face. It's so hateful!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I'm not talking about this. But it's only been two days since joining the group, so many people hate her. It's really amazing. I hope you understand. Our society is a society of human relationships, and the entertainment industry is especially so, and it's especially important to connect. If you want to stay in this circle for a long time, you must learn to deal with interpersonal relationships. I'm not asking you to deliberately please anyone, as long as you are a little humble and be polite to others. Others can feel it. You have to learn from Teacher Chen Daoming and others. They are very strict when acting and are polite to the crew when not filming."

The students in the class were nodding. Chen Daoming and others were very serious when acting and looked very eye-catching, but in fact they were very good. The students had problems with the role and asked with the script. They always patiently told everyone.

Zhang Ran suffered losses because he didn't understand the rules. He didn't want his students to repeat the same mistake: "Last year, a female reporter interviewed Zhang Yimou, and was preparing to be a special topic of Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. Zhang Yimou said in an interview with her, 'You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in the millennium'. The female reporter was moved. After the interview, she refused to do that gossip topic again, and destroyed all the material belts. She was not moved by the supervisor for resignation. Remember, praise others more and smile more at others. It is not difficult, but at the critical moment, maybe they can help you with this!"

After waiting for half an hour, Chen Zhenghong came.

Zhang Ran didn't move, but just nodded at Chen Zhenghong.

Chen Zhenghong came to Zhang Ran, moved a stool and sat down, and smiled and said, "Isn't it just a supporting actress? Is it necessary to be so angry?"

Zhang Ran looked at Chen Zhenghong and said seriously: "We cut an episode a few days ago. You saw the effect. This will definitely be a fine TV series. Our drama is like a good banquet, but if you have to put a piece of shit in it, it is not a disgusting!"

Chen Zhenghong smiled and said, "It's not that serious, it's just an irrelevant character. Just ignore her or not!"

Seeing Chen Zhenghong's reaction, Zhang Ran was a little surprised: "Why, the other party is very famous?"

Chen Zhenghong sighed and said, "That's not, it's just that my friend wants to praise her. He is a little bit scrupulous. If he drives his people out, he will be unhappy. Otherwise, let Teacher Zhang Jiandong lead this part of the drama?"

Zhang Ran stood up and said lightly: "It's already July, the school is about to have a holiday, so it's time for us to go back to school."

Chen Zhenghong didn't expect Zhang Ran to react so fiercely. He quickly stood up and pressed him onto the chair: "Don't be anxious, I didn't say I didn't agree. I have something to discuss! Do what you said. I'll call her and let her leave later!"

Zhang Ran said seriously: "Mr. Chen, it's not that I'm pretentious. Since I've participated in the filming of this drama, I hope to try my best to shoot it. Lin Huiru's performance is really not good; Besides, the students in our class are watching. If I don't even insist on this, I can't reason with them in the future!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, as you said. But what should I do with the character He Xiuning?"

"The role of He Xiuning is simple and not difficult. Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama can play any student who can find a junior and senior student. I will call the school later and find a girl to play."

Next, the two began to discuss the related matters of the TV series shooting. While chatting, Chen Ping came over and said, "Director, someone is looking for it!"

When Zhang Ran heard someone looking for him, he felt strange and followed Chen Ping to the corner of the street.

"Director! Director! It's me!" Before Zhang Ran could reach the corner of the street, a familiar female voice came out. At the same time, Zhang Ran saw a white figure and rushed towards his position quickly.

"Jingchu, why are you here?" Zhang Ran widened his eyes and looked at the girl not far away. He never expected that Zhang Jingchu would come to the crew to see him.

"I'm here to visit the set, how about it? Didn't you expect?" Zhang Jingchu quickly came to Zhang Ran. Maybe because of running, her cheeks were blushing.

Zhang Ran really didn't expect that after all, he was in Hengdian, thousands of miles away from Peking. Who would come to Hengdian to visit the set without any trouble? He spread his hands and smiled: "I usually have to give gifts when visiting the set. Where is my gift?"

Zhang Jingchu giggled and said, "You have to voluntarily give gifts. How can you ask for gifts on your own initiative?" She opened the plastic bag, took out an exquisite plastic box from it, and opened the lid: "This is the snack I made, you can try it!"

Zhang Ran tasted a piece and felt it was good, and praised: "The craftsmanship is good!"

I worked hard yesterday and I wanted this recognition. The smile on Zhang Jingchu's face suddenly became bright: "Just like it!"

Zhang Ran was not polite, and ate two pieces in a row, looked up at Zhang Jingchu and asked, "Jingchu, you should have a show here to shoot, right?"

Zhang Jingchu nodded and said, "Well, I will play the deposed queen, Concubine Jing in "Young Genius"!"

Zhang Ran has watched "Young Genius". It is a very good drama. The queen was originally played by Hao Lei, but she didn't expect that she will become Zhang Jingchu. This is the butterfly effect! Zhang Ran asked: "When will the filming start?"

Zhang Jingchu said: "The computer starts on July 15th."

There are twelve days left to start. He Xiuning doesn’t have many scenes. If he is concentrated, it will be enough for two or three days to finish. Zhang Ran laughed and said, “Jingchu, you are just my timely rain, and it happened too timely!”

Zhang Jingchu smiled and said, "What happened?"

Zhang Ran explained: "The crew encountered some trouble. He Xiuning's actor just asked me to kick the crew out of the crew, and now there is a single actor. I originally planned to call the school and find a girl to act. It happened that you are here, how about you act?"

Zhang Jingchu was stunned. "Before Dawn" is a very popular drama. Many people have sharpened their heads and want to drill in. If you come to the class yourself, you can get a role. Isn't you so lucky? She can't refuse such an opportunity: "No problem, I'll call Miss Xiaowan later!"

"The character you play is He Xiuning, who is one of the few female characters in this man's drama. Although there are not many scenes, it is a character that can be remembered by people." Zhang Ran did not say nonsense. He introduced the role to Zhang Jingchu, "There are no other lines in this scene today, just a short speech, which is quite simple!"

As he said that, Zhang Ran handed over his script to Zhang Jingchu and began to tell her the opera.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu have worked together on two dramas. They are old partners, so many things need not be explained too clearly, and they can be understood at all. This scene was simple. After a few minutes of talking, he called Chen Ping over and asked him to take Zhang Jingchu to put on makeup.

Half an hour later, the assistant director came over to remind him that all preparations were done and filming was ready.

Zhang Ran nodded, picked up the horn and shouted: "Every group is ready, let's start shooting now!"

On the street, about a hundred extras and students from Zhang Ran’s class started to take their positions, and two deputy directors were standing by. Filming such large scenes was more complicated and required the cooperation of multiple departments. As long as there was a mistake in one place, all had to be repeated.

Zhang Ran picked up the intercom and asked, "How is the extra's situation?"

The deputy director in charge of extras replied: "Point a is in place! Point b is in place!"

Zhang Ran asked again: "How is the actor's situation?"

The deputy director replied: "The actor is in place!"

"Start! Punch the board!" Zhang Ran issued two orders in a row, then shouted, "Start!"

The pedestrians on the street began to move, and Zhou Hanting's actors walked towards Zhang Jingchu from the corner of the street; and Zhang Jingchu began to speak loudly: "Comrades, brothers and sisters! Day after day poverty and hunger strangled our throats, we would rather fight than die!"

As soon as he said that, Zhang Ran started nodding. He hadn't seen him for more than two months. Zhang Jingchu's line skills have improved significantly, so he should be practicing every day.

Two cameras, one aimed at the actor Zhou Hanting and the other aimed at Zhang Jingchu, all of which were given close-ups.

Zhou Hanting looked back at the spy who was following him and turned his eyes to Zhang Jingchu on the stage; Zhang Jingchu stood on the stage, holding a slogan in one hand and a loudspeaker in the other, shouting loudly: "We want democracy, we want freedom! Oppose violence, oppose violence!"

At this moment, a whistle sounded, and then a group of policemen with batons rushed out from the corner of the street and rushed towards the protesting students. The pedestrians and students on the street fled around, and the whole street was in chaos.

Zhou Hanting realized that this was a good opportunity to get rid of tracking and quickly ran to the side; and Zhang Jingchu also jumped off the stage and began to escape.

Zhang Ran was very satisfied with the scene and shouted happily: "Very good, it's over!" (To be continued...)
