Chapter 16: Small but full of poison Two days later in the morning. Xu Kun and Bao Qiang arrived at the gate of Beijing Film Studio again. Because they had agreed to work non-stop for six days and five nights, both of them brought toiletries and some clothes. The image of someone carrying a bag seemed like a secret signal for contact, and one after another, crew members and actors from the production team of "Young Zhang Sanfeng" joined the queue waiting for the bus. There are old people who participated in the original filming, as well as newcomers like Xu Kun and Bao Qiang who joined the team temporarily. But the overall number is not very large, which does not meet Xu Kun’s expectations for a big production at all. But thinking that this was a reshoot and not a re-shoot, many irrelevant personnel would definitely have to be laid off, so Xu Kun felt relieved. The size of the crew doesn’t matter. What’s important is that Baoqiang and I can play multiple roles and don’t have to play the Japanese devils anymore. After everyone got a little familiar with each other, the topic of conversation naturally revolved around the situation of the crew. Xu Kun heard that the focus of their discussion was basically on Zhang Weijian, Su Youpeng, Li Bingbing, and Lin Xinru who was replaced. He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't they say there's a Golden Horse Award winner in the crew?"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and several men who had been in the group shut up at the same time, revealing intriguing expressions. "And the Golden Horse Award winner?" Someone nearby was hearing this news for the first time and asked excitedly, "Is it Zhang Manyu or Lin Qingxia?!" Several people who had been in the group exchanged glances, and one of the actors, surnamed Ma, stammered, "Well, this is actually a little girl from our mainland, and she was born in the 80s. She was only 17 years old when she won the award a few years ago." hiss~ Xu Kun couldn't help but gasp. A 17-year-old Golden Horse Film Queen, this sounds even more impressive than Zhang Manyu! He sincerely admired: "Brother Ma, this girl must be gifted, right? Just like Gong Li back then - no, Gong Li seemed to be in her twenties when she filmed Red Sorghum." "Uh~" Ma Ge smacked his lips, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Someone nearby laughed and said, "Whether she is gifted or not, you will know if you have a chance to watch her award-winning film. However, that film is hard to find, as it is a banned film." Xu Kun was not surprised that the award-winning film was a banned film, as most award-winning films these days are banned films. But the strange attitude of the two people made him a little confused. Could it be that there are some unknown twists and turns here? "and many more!" At this time, a new production manager questioned: "She was 17 when she won the award, so how old was she when she filmed the movie?" Ma Ge spread his hands and said, "This is also one of the reasons why the film was banned. She was 15 or 16 at that time." This seems even more impressive, but it also seems like something is wrong. At this time, the crew's bus stopped by the roadside. While waiting in line to get on the bus, Xu Kun asked the name of the movie: "The Sent-Down Girl". The name sounds very cool, and considering the age of the actress at the time, Xu Kun vaguely guessed something, but also found it a little unbelievable. After all, when his colleagues talked about the Golden Horse Awards, they all praised it to the skies. It couldn't be that a little girl could win the award just because she took off her clothes thoroughly enough, right? There has to be something that others can't match. After getting in the car, Xu Kun was still mumbling about this with Bao Qiang when he saw a man standing up from the passenger seat, clearing his throat and saying, "Some of you know me and some don't. Let me introduce myself first. I am Wei Hongyu, the assistant director of our play, and I am mainly responsible for the logistics of the crew. As everyone knows, our crew is in a hurry to finish the work, working day and night. It is inevitable that mistakes will be made in a hurry, and it will affect everyone's mood.
But our starting point is definitely to shoot the drama as quickly as possible, so if you encounter problems, it’s best to accommodate each other. If it really doesn’t work, you can ask me to solve it. Don’t make a fuss and affect the progress of the shooting. " Tsk~ Wei Hongyu's remarks seem to be fair, but the question is, will he say the same thing to the people in Hong Kong and Taiwan? I’m afraid I won’t tell you. So to sum it up, it means one thing: they are very angry, you just have to be patient. So Xu Kun patted Baoqiang on the shoulder and reminded him: "Remember to follow me closely when you get to the crew." ………… The crew was indeed very angry. Li Bingbing, who played the leading female role Qin Sirong, had not smiled since she checked into the guesthouse at the Bayi Film and Television Base. This was not because of the sudden reshoot that disrupted her original plan. It was mainly because she had some unpleasantness with the crew when filming in Beijing last year. She was forced to soak in the river for nearly seven hours in early March, and later lay in bed for several days before she recovered. If it was for filming purposes, then Li Bingbing could understand it, but that was obviously not the case at the time. Li Bingbing recalled afterwards that she suspected that Lin Xinru, who played the third female role, had secretly tampered with the situation, because at that time Lin Xinru had expressed dissatisfaction with being a supporting role, and had even had a verbal conflict with Li Xiaolu, who played the second female role. Therefore, the only good news for Li Bingbing in this reshoot is that Lin Xinru was replaced by a mainland actor. I think her name is Niu Mengmeng... "oops!" At this time, a girl's complaint came from the toilet: "The conditions in this guesthouse are too bad, even the toilet can't be flushed clean!" Before she finished speaking, Li Xiaolu, who was wearing a vest and shorts and showing off her long white legs, rushed out of the bathroom, holding her nose and said with disgust, "Sister Bingbing, why don't we go talk to the director and get two more single rooms downstairs? It's so inconvenient to go up and down the fifth floor!" This young girl is really not afraid of the cold. Faced with Li Xiaolu's proposal, Li Bingbing could only respond with a wry smile. Although Lin Xinru was missing, Li Xiaolu was also a restless person. She was rebellious, willful and outspoken, and as a result, she became his temporary roommate. "Just make do with it for now." She tried to persuade him helplessly, "There are too many crews working hard lately, and the guesthouse is completely occupied. The rooms we have now were vacated only after the crew had used their connections." The old guesthouse at the Bayi Film and Television Base is notoriously old, shabby and charges high fees. The crews that can afford to stay there dislike the poor environment, while those who can afford it cannot afford it. Unless they are in a hurry to catch up with the progress, they will choose to stay here nearby. So the guesthouse is usually deserted. But recently, due to new radio and television regulations, all TV stations have increased their purchasing power, and the number of crews rushing to start work has increased several times. Even this old guesthouse has become a popular spot and was filled up early on by various crews. "Then why can Su Youpeng and Zhang Weijian live in a single room?" Li Xiaolu still insisted: "Sister Bingbing, let's not talk about how popular your movie Young Justice Bao was last year. After all, I am also a Golden Horse Film Queen. Have you ever seen a Golden Horse Film Queen being forced to share a shabby house with someone else?" How not? Even some film queens in Cannes, Berlin and Venice have had the experience of sharing a house with others. Li Bingbing ignored Li Xiaolu, got up and went to the bathroom to get a basin of water, and flushed the toilet carefully again - she now has a mild obsession with cleanliness, and it will become more and more serious in the future. "no!" However, Li Xiaolu did not stop, and rushed out after changing her clothes: "I have to go find the director and ask him why we can't live in a single room!"
"Wait, come back first!" Li Bingbing shouted a few words from behind, but seeing that Li Xiaolu didn't even turn around, he had no choice but to chase her downstairs. Although Li Bingbing didn't want to get involved in this matter from the bottom of his heart, he was worried that Li Xiaolu would be careless with her words and would drag himself into it. If he was misunderstood as the mastermind behind this, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River. When we arrived at the room where director Liang Delong lived, Liang Delong was not there. Only a young assistant was helping to clean the room. "Director Liang has gone downstairs to contact the filming location. Do the two Miss Li need anything from Director Liang? Do you want me to call him?" Although Li Xiaolu always complains about being discriminated against, Li Bingbing actually felt that people in Hong Kong were much more polite to him during his visit this time. This was probably because the TV series "Young Justice Bao" and "Young Zhang Sanfeng" starring him were broadcast in Hong Kong and Taiwan one after another, and had high ratings. "No need, we'll go find it downstairs ourselves!" Li Xiaolu didn't give Li Bingbing any chance to react and hurriedly pulled her downstairs. Just at this moment, the crew's bus stopped at the door. Li Bingbing subconsciously looked over and saw from afar a man with deep and fierce eyes, who looked like he was not someone to be trifled with, leading a dark-faced baby-faced boy out of the bus. Is this another King Xiaoyao coming? (End of this chapter)
