Crossover Actors - Chapter 2

[chapter 2]

Lu Wen looked at Sun Xiaojian and asked with his eyes: Who is Director Liu?

Sun Xiaojian quickly checked the personnel information in his mind. There are many people named Liu, but only one can be called “director”. He was startled, leaned into Lu Wen’s ear and said, ”

It looks like the director of the production is surnamed Liu.” “Damn it?” Lu Wen’s eyes widened, “The director of production has come to pick me up?”

They were bowing their heads and muttering . , did not notice someone approaching the door, and when the door was opened again, Lu Wen and Sun Xiaojian looked up at the same time.

Director Liu appeared at the door. The delicate Armani suit couldn’t hide the fat beer belly, and the gold wire glasses couldn’t hide the surprise on his face. He was stunned for a while, blocking the door and looking at the people in the car.

The driver was the first to break the deadlock and said, “Director Liu, look…”

Sun Xiaojian quickly moved away from the seat and held out his hands, “Director Liu, hello, I didn’t expect you to come here in person.

Director Liu shook his hand lightly, but his eyes stayed on Lu Wen, as if trying to remember who it was . Sun Xiaojian immediately said: “This is my artist Lu Wen. I joined the group today, and we just got off the plane.”

Director Liu nodded suddenly: “It’s Xiao Lu.”

“Director Liu, hello.” Lu Wen said. .

Director Liu asked, “Have you contacted the crew? Who is in charge of the production?”

“It’s Xiao Zhang.” Sun Xiaojian said, “Xiao Zhang is probably busy. We saw the crew’s car parked here and came up by himself.”

Director Liu took out his mobile phone and said while dialing, “This little Zhang is famous for his erratic work and often makes mistakes. Wait a moment, I will contact him and ask.”

Lu Wen clenched the bottle of Paris water, with an ominous premonition.

“How do you do things? Sending a few cars can also cause problems, letting the artist get off the plane and let you hang it? Don’t talk about scheduling and can’t drive, okay, don’t apologize to me.”

Director Liu reprimanded for a few words on the phone. After hanging up the line, he loosened his brows and said, “Xiao Lu, that’s right. I asked Xiao Zhang, the car should be another one to pick you up.”

Lu Wen: “Huh? ”

In the past two days, the actors who have joined the group have been relatively concentrated, and the car scheduling is not open, so it may be a bit slow.” Director Liu said, “I have scolded Xiao Zhang. When you join the group, let him apologize to you.”

Lu Wen was a little confused: “Then let’s now…”

Director Liu smiled and replied tactfully, “Then let’s meet the crew.”

Lu Wen’s face flushed red, he sat on a hot chair and drank half A bottle of Paris water, rubbed the Shu embroidered pillow in his arms, and told him that the car was not for him?

It is equivalent to Cinderella putting on makeup, wearing a skirt and crystal slippers, but the pumpkin carriage refused to carry it.

This is the first time Sun Xiaojian has encountered such a situation since he started his career. It was rumored that he had no face. He gritted his teeth and fought for it: “There is a spare seat, do you think we can go together?”

“I’m afraid it is not convenient,” Director Liu said, “You guys Please be considerate.”

Originally, there was no face left, but when I said this, it was tantamount to humiliating myself again. Lu Wen’s head was buzzing, he abruptly got up from the seat, and got out of the carriage with his long legs.

At this time, Director Liu stepped aside, revealing Qu Yanting who had been standing behind him.

Lu Wen just stepped in front of Qu Yanting. He lowered his head and looked at the character who was really picked up by Porsche and the production director. However, Qu Yanting’s sunglasses covered most of his face, and he could only see his own expression reflected on the lenses.

Embarrassed, lost, upset.

In just one second, Qu Yanting raised his legs and got into the car, and sat in the hot seat where Lu Wengang was sitting.

The driver unloaded several suitcases and put them on Qu Yanting’s suitcase. Lu Wen and Sun Xiaojian stood side by side, watching as the door closed, the engine started, and Porsche was about to leave them.

When it was too late, Lu Wen rushed up and patted the door hard.

Qu Yanting didn’t have much patience left before getting into the car, so he lowered the car window and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Lu Wen raised the pillow in his arms: “I forgot to put it down just now.”

Qu Yanting said indifferently, “Keep it as a souvenir. Without

waiting for Lu Wen’s reaction, Qu Yanting had already closed the car window. The Porsche gradually pulled away from the airport, leaving behind a trail of exhaust.

Sun Xiaojian raised his mobile phone: “The license plate number has been sent.”

It was just that he was treated indifferently in the past, but now he is still neglected as the number one male. Lu Wen said speechlessly: “It’s really fast, it was sent by IE browser.”

Sun Xiaojian He coaxed: “Let them go for a while, you wait, I’ll find a car.”

Ten minutes later, Lu Wen finally got into his nanny car. I don’t know who had been in it before, and there was a lingering feeling in the car. perfume smell. He hugged his elbows and admired the flying scenery outside the window. He thought with emotion that there are so many slopes in Chongqing, no wonder he experienced ups and downs.

Lu Wenqing couldn’t help but sing a lyric: “Floating in the sea of people is a dream…”

He was born with a subwoofer, and singing too softly sounded like a mobile phone vibrating. Sun Xiaojian said, “Sing again, you are an actor now.”

Lu Wen turned a deaf ear: “Love is forever passed down in everything…”

block. The road was full of old trees and residential buildings, and after driving for a while, there were several nanny cars parked in front of them, which seemed to be temporary parking spaces rented by the crew.

“Arrived?” Lu Wen saw no one.

The driver was pretty cool: “Follow me.”

Lu Wen and Sun Xiaojian followed behind the driver, passed through a narrow alley, walked out of the end of the alley, and as if refreshing the page, another old block and several buildings appeared in front of them. Residential building.

The crew has arrived.

The picture in front of me is very close to the scene described in the script –

an old street with cracks and stains on the pavement, a “No Pass” sign thrown on the sidewalk, rusted and stained, and I don’t know which year the construction fell. People who come and go turn a blind eye, a wild cat sleeps directly under the sign, looking more comfortable than first class.

There are four or six storefronts crowded along the street, including a small supermarket, a barber shop, a photo studio that also does printing business, and two snack bars that have been in the ring for more than ten years.

The community across the street is quite old, there are no gates or security guards, and everyone can come and go at will. There are only two buildings in the community. The wall paint of the buildings peeled off in large areas, and the slightly flat positions were covered with small advertisements. There are a total of seven floors, and some people do not seal the balcony.

The balcony on the third floor was the cleanest, with a row of potted plants and two pairs of clean sneakers on the windowsill. One of the windows was missing a piece and was covered with a math paper with a big “39 points” on it.

Lu Wen looked up, he knew that it was his “home”.

The community is next to an abandoned primary school, separated by the fence of the playground. For the convenience of entry and exit, the fences on the wall were removed. Every evening, the old man and the old lady got into the playground to walk and dance.

There is a grapevine in the innermost part of the community, and the dense branches and leaves are covered with the skeleton, like a pavilion. Over the years, whenever someone moved away, he would throw a few pieces of furniture, and slowly gather a round table and four chairs under the shelf.

There are people playing mahjong under the vines all day long, and they pay a Taiwanese fee of two yuan after playing, because the vines are owned by their owners and are the only place in the community that is managed.

Lu Wen was a little empty, and everything described in the script appeared in front of him, as if the fictional world really existed.

Sun Xiaojian said on the side, “This is too realistic. Is it real or a set?”

One sentence brought Lu Wen back to reality. He realized that this was the production crew. staff of.

The start-up is about to start, and each group is hurrying to arrange, including more than 40 rooms and countless small scenes. As big as furniture, as small as a broken ballpoint pen wrapped in tape, there are a total of 6,300 items on the art director’s list that need to be checked one by one.

In fact, the crew has been rooted in Chongqing for a month and a half. Apart from the preparation work, the filming of the empty scenes in the play has already begun.

A lean young man ran out of a unit with a large stack of forms under his arm, and stopped suddenly when he saw Lu Wen. He greeted him: “Our hero is here, I’ll quickly apologize to Jing.”

Sun Xiaojian guessed: “Xiao Zhang?”

“It’s me and I.” Xiao Zhang gave Lu Wen a ninety-degree bow, “I’m sorry, it’s too messy today, After I dispatched the car, I went to give points to the props team, I’m really sorry.”

Lu Wen’s temper has always been like the wind, also known as “nervous”. He said carelessly: “It’s alright.”

“Thank you for your understanding.” Xiao Zhang said and took out a form, “Mr. Lu, please sign in first, and then I will show you the environment.”

Sun Xiaojian asked, “Director Ren is here. Okay, let’s go say hello first.”

Xiao Zhang said, “Director Ren went to shoot the location. He said that everyone will see you tomorrow, so you don’t have to wait for him.”

Lu Wen avoided the most annoying part of pretending to be a grandson, and after signing in, And Sun Xiaojian familiar with the crew environment. The scheduling room, warehouse and powder room are all concentrated in one unit.

Unit 101 is a two-bedroom suite, which is used as the director’s lounge after cleaning and soft furnishing. However, the director is very busy and basically has no time to rest.

There is an open space outside the back door of the community, and it is full of large RVs of the same size. After finding one with Lu Wen’s name on it, Xiao Zhang said, “The actors are resting in the RV and need to replenish any items or food, just tell the assistant of the crew.”

Sun Xiaojian asked: “After finishing work, do you want to cross the alley to take the nanny car?”

“Yes, the place is small, so the nanny car has to be parked on the next street.” Xiao Zhang replied.

Sun Xiaojian asked hintingly: “Everyone rides in the nanny car?”

“It’s all the same.” Xiao Zhang said, “Mr. Lu is the number one male, and I specially arranged a new car. However, the actors have been concentrated in the group for the past two days, and they will be picked up at noon. A trip to the heroine.”

Sun Xiaojian did not die: “I think there is a Porsche.”

“There is indeed a Porsche, which is Director Ren’s personal car, and I have no authority to arrange it.” Xiao Zhang recalled, “Oh yes, you go. I’m waiting for the car, why did Director Liu call me?”

Sun Xiaojian said, “I met Director Liu at the airport.”

Xiao Zhang muttered, “What is Director Liu doing at the airport?”

Lu Wen and Sun Xiaojian looked at each other and dispatched Ren The director’s car, Director Lao Liu’s car, even the drama manager doesn’t know who it is. If that person is popular, fans should pick him up, and if it’s a big name, they should recognize it.

According to the invisible laws of the industry, 80% of the unknown people with this kind of treatment are related households with background.

Xiao Zhang still has something to do, so he said, “Come to me at any time if you have any questions. If you have nothing to do, Mr. Lu should go back to the hotel to rest early. I would take the liberty to ask, do you want to stay in the hotel arranged by the crew, or solve it yourself?” The

crew will arrange accommodation, But the actors couldn’t bear the loneliness. They went out on a date and made an appointment. In order to avoid a large area of vacancies, the drama management would ask in advance.

Lu Wen said: “I will solve it myself.”

On the premise of not delaying the show, he always chooses to go out and live, because he is on the 18th line, and he needs to say hello when he meets the 1st to 17th line in the corridor, which is annoying. Moreover, his company cooperates with a fixed hotel and prepares a set of rooms for him all year round.

The phone rang, and it happened to be a message from the hotel.

Ask if you need to send a car to pick up, whether to choose private meals, whether to book swimming, movies, spas, etc., and a special person will be arranged for reception.

Lu Wen didn’t, he glanced at the room number, the high-altitude river view room, 6207.
