Chapter 38: Aunt Rong Li Mingqi

After moving to Beijing Film Studio, the crew found an urgent problem that needed to be solved.

Although Bai Magnolia, who played the role of Grandma Rong, reluctantly agreed to come back to participate in the filming after the director's persuasion, she still couldn't get into the role.

Because although Magnolia is a big shot, she is more accustomed to opera performances, and is not very adaptable to the requirements of filming a TV show.

What the crew was filming today was Grandma Rong pricking her with needles in a secret room.

Originally, this scene was supposed to be shot during the day, but because the progress in the past two days was very unsatisfactory to the director, the people below were also trembling with fear for fear of provoking the director's anger.

Recently, the director's temper has been very bad, because the cost of filming in Prince Gong's Mansion was actually more than 50,000 yuan more than the original budget.

This is because everyone is a newcomer, so they need to get used to each other during filming, so the number of NGs is relatively high. The entire crew also needs to adjust. Sometimes when the lighting is not arranged satisfactorily, the director will also ask for reshoots.

As time goes by, naturally, the cost will rise.

This is actually a necessary running-in process.

Fortunately, everyone is now cooperating happily. Chen Zhipeng didn't know why, but he didn't immediately go to Ye Ming to trouble him, and Ye Ming naturally acted as if nothing happened.

This made deputy director Chao Guoli very happy. In fact, she was worried about what would happen to Ye Ming and Chen Zhipeng.

Now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.

However, something finally gave the director a headache. At this time, Magnolia, who played the role of Grandma Rong, was a little unable to adapt to the filming of the TV series.

It was supposed to be daybreak, so Grandma Rong stretched herself and said, "It's daybreak. Now that we've had enough sleep, we can start working again."

And he was walking with a fierce look on his face.

This was originally a relatively easy content to get through, but because Magnolia is used to acting, her anger is different from the angry expression on TV.

When I'm acting, I can express my anger vividly in a small space, and use very special skills to express my anger, which makes me feel like I'm frowning.

But such a feeling cannot be used on TV.

On TV, an expression like this is meant to let the audience see at a glance that Grandma Rong is cruel and vicious, and that she has endless resentment towards Ziwei.

Being angry at someone who has no hatred towards him is precisely because of his admiration and love for the queen.

What Grandma Rong needs to express is this kind of anger, which is definitely not something that ordinary actors can express.

Although Magnolia is famous, it still doesn't do enough in terms of acting in TV series.

In a word, after reshooting it ten times, it still failed to meet the director's requirements.

At this time, Magnolia was a little overwhelmed. In fact, as an actor within the system, she really looked down on the actors in the TV series, even Su Youpeng, Chen Zhipeng, etc. These big names would not be in her eyes.

She is an actor who has won the Lamei Award and is a national first-class actor. Can these people compare to her?

If the director hadn't begged her to come over, she wouldn't have wanted to film this movie at all.

Therefore, the sentence has not passed ten times, which makes Magnolia not in a good mood.

By the twelfth time, the director himself was getting a little impatient. Looking at Chao Guoli fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her alive, this is the old drama star you found for me.

There is nothing wrong with Magnolia being an experienced actor, but when it comes to acting in opera, she is an experienced actor. As for acting on TV, it's hard to say.

Some actors are just suited to work within the system, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Magnolia is obviously suitable for eating within the system, and not suitable for making TV or movies.

At this time, Chao Guoli also said helplessly: "Director, one more one. One more one, I promise to pass."

At that moment, Chao Guoli explained clearly to the director that she went over to scold the lighting and camera to get them all to cheer up.

Obviously, everyone knows that the director is angry, otherwise Chao Guoli would not be so angry.

The effect of "Desperate Sanniang" is still quite powerful, which really fired up everyone's spirit.

Who knows, this is the thirteenth time, and Magnolia's expression still has traces of drama, which makes people know it is fake at a glance.

At this time, Chao Guoli finally couldn't help it and said, "Teacher Bai, could you please be more careful? The director will not be happy. If you can't pass, the director has said that no one can rest today."

Who knows, it was this sentence that made Bai Magnolia angry: "He is unhappy, and I am not happy yet. I have never seen such a harsh performance. There are more than ten, but none of them are useful?" Sorry, I have high blood pressure and am a little dizzy. I need to go to the hospital."

Others came with their agents to act, but Magnolia came with their nanny.

After saying these words, Magnolia actually abandoned the crew and left with the help of the nanny.

This time, the director was almost furious. What kind of thing is this?

You abandoned us, how can our crew continue?

The driver of the crew came back and told the director that Magnolia did not go to the plan for a physical check-up at all, but asked him to take her to the vegetable market, and then picked up her grandson and went home to cook. By the way, while buying vegetables, she also I bought pork belly and said I would make braised pork for my grandson.

This time the director was almost furious.

The entire crew was trembling with fear. No one dared to speak loudly. Su Youpeng was sleeping in the dressing car with his head covered. He shot a night scene last night and didn't rest until two o'clock. Today, he took advantage of the gap and had to make up for it. This sleep.

Among the entire crew, the one who sleeps best is Su Youpeng.

At this time, Chao Guoli was also in a very difficult position, making it clear that Magnolia was a big name and would no longer act.

If you are a really big name, it would be okay to say that the crew really cannot do without you, but are you, Magnolia, a big name?

This big brand is too worthless.

Sun Shupei said decisively: "Substitute, tell Manager He that we want to replace him. We can't afford this kind of actor. Let the lawyer pursue Magnolia's liability for breach of contract."

It's easy to hold accountable, but with the change of actors, Chao Guoli was asked to find an actor more suitable for this role.

At that moment, Chao Guoli said with great embarrassment: "Director, although the role of Grandma Rong is a supporting role, ordinary actors cannot handle it. There are no special actors who are suitable for this role. If we find a suitable professional actor, it will be difficult for a while." I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”

At this time, Ye Ming stood up and wanted to speak.

Zhang Tielin grabbed him and told him not to be meddlesome. It was the director's responsibility. As a newcomer, there is nothing wrong with being meddlesome.

Who knew that Ye Ming would immediately say: "Teacher Zhang, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Arriving in front of Sun Shupei, Ye Ming said: "Director, if we are looking for someone to play the role of Grandma Rong, I can recommend someone. I can't say that it will definitely be suitable, but he is definitely not as good as Magnolia."

Whether it is suitable or not is up to the director. Although Ye Ming knows that what he recommends must be suitable, he dare not say that it is absolutely suitable.

When you are on the crew, you cannot be more wise and great than the director. This is the way for an actor to survive on the crew, especially if you are a newcomer. In such a situation, it is even more important to be a talent with your tail between your legs. Best policy.

Didn't you see how honest Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru and Fan Binbin behaved in "Returning Pearls to Three Flowers"?

Sun Shupei glanced at Ye Ming and was not very satisfied with Ye Ming's performance. This man was too sharp.

However, if the current problem is not solved, the play will not be able to continue. Although the role of Grandma Rong is a supporting role, it is indeed a very important supporting role.

The crew can't afford to waste money.

Sun Shupei finally nodded and said, "Please tell me."

Ye Ming immediately said: "The one I recommend is Teacher Li Mingqi, who is also an experienced actor. He has been acting for a lifetime and his acting skills are second to none."

Sun Shupei thought for a while that Li Mingqi was familiar, but he still hesitated and said: "This role has very strict requirements for actors. It is not something that ordinary actors can do. Do you think she can be suitable for such a sinister character?"

Ye Ming smiled, but did not dare to give a guarantee, but said: "Teacher Li Mingqi's latest work is to play the role of the queen who killed Wu Dalang in the new year's drama [Water Margin] broadcast on CCTV."

Hearing this, Chao Guoli's originally listless eyes flashed with a light of hope.

Sun Shupei also suddenly became interested. Being able to appear in CCTV's new year drama is an affirmation in itself. Moreover, the positioning of a character like Po Wang is similar to that of Grandma Rong.

Sun Shupei still paid attention to the TV series "Water Margin", especially the part about Wu Song fighting the tiger, which was even more focused. You must know that he was involved in another strange book "**Plum".

Thinking of this, Sun Shupei nodded and said, "Can you contact Teacher Li? If possible, I hope to have Teacher Li come to audition right away."

This is considered to be recognition of Ye Ming's recommendation.

Ye Ming didn't know Li Mingqi, but Ye Ming knew that Uncle Liang must know him. As Uncle Liang had been in the Beijing entertainment circle for such a long time, he naturally had Li Mingqi's contact information.

Coincidentally, at this time, Li Mingqi didn't take any roles. He had a schedule, so he came to the crew of Returning the Pearl that afternoon.

The makeup was given and the outfit was given. Teacher Li Mingqi read the script and took two steps in front of the camera. Suddenly, a sinister, scheming, but loyal slave to the queen appeared in front of the camera.
