Chapter 84
"The Mysterious City" has been filmed for a month and the indoor scenes have been completed.
When Rong Xu returned from the Peony Award this time, the crew members had already started to remove some of the props and sets of indoor scenes. The next day they were about to leave Xiangshan Film and Television City and go to Hengdian to continue shooting some of the outdoor scenes.
When Rong Xu returned to the crew, it was already afternoon. The new actor joined the crew yesterday and played Xue Jiazhe as a child. This child is a very popular child star in recent years. He looks very cute and is only five years old this year. He doesn't look as rough and straight as other little boys, but he is as quiet as a little girl.
When he saw Rong Xu coming back, Director Yuan laughed and introduced the child to him: "Let Lele film later, Rong Xu, do you want to give him some guidance? I just won the award, but I have to give him a role model. This is what you looked like when you were a child. Take Lele to learn about the script."
Rong Xu smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Then Rong Xu lowered his head again and saw a small pink ball huddled beside Director Yuan, blinking his big eyes, tilting his small head, and looking at him seriously.
The child stars who can survive in the entertainment industry basically have a pair of parents who are very good at management. Most of them are insiders, and Lele is no exception. Last year, the child played a little prince and debuted with that role. Now he has been in the circle for a year. Although he is very young, he is definitely not completely innocent.
The child gently shouted the name "Brother Rongrong". Looking at the white dough-like smiling face, Rong Xu smiled gently, squatted down, and said gently: "It's about to act. Let's take a look at the script, okay?"
Not far away, the child's mother was looking at her son and nodding her head with satisfaction.
When it was evening, the sky turned dark and Lele's scene officially began.
Rong Xu stood beside the set, watching the props team bringing the big stones made over and pressing on Lele and an actress. The actress also joined the group on the same day as Lele. The scenes of the two are today, and they are going to play Xue Jiazhe's childhood.
Tan Yangxuan knew that his college classmate had experienced an earthquake when he was a child and almost died in that earthquake. He also knew that his parents divorced when he was a child, but he didn't know that the reason why Xue Jiazhe's parents divorced was because during the earthquake, his father abandoned them, mother and son, and ran away alone.
That night, an earthquake suddenly came, and the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and the small town was in chaos.
That morning, Xue Jiazhe was still having fun with his parents, saying like a little adult that he would be a policeman in the future and become a man who stood up. But in just ten hours, they were awakened by the violent shock. His mother rushed into his room frantically and held him in her arms, while his father ran away with them.
When he was about to leave the house, the ceiling suddenly collapsed, and his mother was pressed by several large rocks, so she could only barely make a space for her son to hide in it. At that time, his father stood at the door and quickly reached out to them to rescue him.
He shouted blankly: "Dad!"
His mother also shouted: "Take Jiajia away!"
The mother tried her best to hold him up, and the father quickly stretched out his right hand to pull it. However, at the moment of lightning, another big stone hit him and hit his father's feet. Xue Jiazhe was about to touch his father's hand, but the next moment, the father immediately retracted his hand, turned around and ran away.
The little child didn't understand what this meant, but his mother opened her eyes wide and looked at her husband's back in despair, as if she had only met this man today.
Then, there were three days and three nights buried in the pile of stones.
Xue Jiazhe was hidden in his mother's arms, without water or food. When her mother was so thirsty that she couldn't even secrete her saliva, the woman took the gravel and cut her arm and asked her son to drink her own blood.
Three days later, they were rescued. It was not a big problem for an adult to not eat or drink for three days, but a child could not hold on.
The mother's left leg was pressed under a big stone, and finally sawed it off, and one leg was missing from then on. The man named Father stood beside the People's Liberation Army, watching anxiously as they and their mother were rescued. In the end, the parents divorced peacefully, and the man left the house without leaving the house, silently remitting money to the mother and their son every month.
Xue Jiazhe's mother had never used this money and was stored in the bank. She gave her bank card to her son before she died and told her son: "You never owe him, and I never owe him. If you are willing, you can use this money. If you are unwilling, you can return the money to him."
Xue Jiazhe's mother died of illness a year ago, and it was from then on that time that there was a serial murder in Haicheng.
After filming this scene six times, Director Yuan was finally satisfied. After all, he was still a child. Even if his acting skills were good, there would always be some unpreventable emergencies. Moreover, the actress who played Xue Jiazhe's mother was also NG by Director Yuan twice in the crying scene.
In the script, Xue's mother doesn't care about being abandoned by her husband or leaving her, but she cares a lot. The man she once loved can even abandon her children. It doesn't matter whether she is born or died, but her children cannot die.
So the strong mother cried helplessly for a few minutes, then stopped her tears and faced the reality of being crushed under the ruins.
This kind of family love drama is a time bomb in the movie and is also a rare emotional drama in "The Mysterious City". Director Yuan strives for a sensational effect. When the sixth time was filmed, even the crew members were a little sad when they looked at it, he smiled with satisfaction and passed the scene.
Soon, the prop group began to pack up, and the scenes between the children and the actresses were all over.
Before the child left the crew, he came over with his calves, gave Rong Xu a piece of chocolate, and gave everyone else in the crew. Rong Xu didn't know whether this was the child's own idea or the mother of his agent, but looking at such a cute and delicate child, he couldn't help but smile and rub his soft hair.
After Lele left the crew, Rong Xu had finished makeup and was about to shoot the final indoor scene.
Looking at the child's figure, Luo Xi sighed: "Generally speaking, characters like this with complex human nature are the easiest to win awards. Xiaoxu, you have acted in two movies, and it seems that you have never acted in a film that focuses on emotional dramas. Have you ever thought about acting?"
Most films that focus on emotional dramas are art films. The focus of the film is generally on shaping characters rather than telling stories, so it is easier to highlight the actor's acting skills and easier to win awards.
Rong Xu made a lot of such films in his previous life. Qin Cheng's "Mu Sheng" was mainly used to portray Lu Mu Sheng, which allowed him to win many awards for the best actors.
Upon hearing this, the boy thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Is there any news from Brother Luo?"
Luo Xi was stunned for a moment: "Xiao Xu, how do you know?"
Rong Xu raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, Sister Xiao Qian, why would you suddenly say this?"
Luo Xi laughed: "Brother Luo told me yesterday that there is a good script and is considering whether to answer it."
After hearing Luo Xi's words, Rong Xu was slightly stunned and then he understood the whole story.
After Rong Xu won the Peony Award double trophy yesterday, three TV series and two movie crews sent him invitations. All the roles given by the three TV series are male protagonists, and one TV series is even directed by Director Guo, the director of "Zhulu". The old man did not reveal any whisper to Rong Xu at the award ceremony yesterday, but he issued a notice directly in private.
These three TV series are all major productions this year, which can help Rong Xu improve his national popularity. But Luo Zhentao attaches more importance to those two movies, one of which is a war film, telling a spy story from the civil war of the 19th century, with a real-life prototype.
The success of "Ambushes" has been noticed by many producers. The TV series has not invested much, and the plot is quite bloody, but it is very successful in shaping characters. The director of the spy film invited Rong Xu, and wanted him to play a role similar to Huo Xi: he is a senior official of the National Party, but behind his back it is the underground party of our party.
After knowing Rong Xu for more than a year, Luo Zhentao still knows him well. He knows that his artist should not want to take on characters with duplicate images in a short period of time, so he did not mention this script at all.
Luo Zhentao cares more about another script. The director is Xu Sheng, an internationally renowned art film director. He has won several Golden Phoenix Awards and Oscar nominations, and has also won two Berlin Awards for Best Director.
Mr. Xu's position in the industry is much higher than Director Yuan. Although Director Yuan has a nickname "Director Yuan Award", because he can win the best director every time, he has always won some second-tier and third-tier awards and the best director nominations for the Golden Phoenix Award. However, Mr. Xu is a famous representative of the academic school.
With Mr. Xu, this movie basically won the ticket to the world's three major awards. Whether it can win the award is one thing, but at least one or two nominations can be obtained.
Rong Xu thought for a moment and said, "Sister Xiao Qian, please let Brother Luo send me the script, I'll take a look."
Luo Xi was stunned: "But Xiaoxu, that drama will be started at the end of next month. If we take it, you will have no time to rest."
Rong Xu smiled lightly and raised her eyes: "The good script doesn't wait for anyone."
One sentence left Luo Xi speechless. It was not until Rong Xu got up to film the film that she patted her hot cheeks and murmured like hypnosis: "I am Rong Rong's assistant, his assistant assistant. I want to calm down. I can't be crazy, I can't... Ahhhhh so beautiful and so cute, how can I not be crazy QAQ!"
As he said that, Rosie hurriedly held the Aquarius and walked towards the set, waiting to hand over the water to Rong Xu.
Time flies, and the crew of "Miscellaneous City" left Xiangshan Film and Television City and came to Hengdian to continue shooting some of the outdoor scenes. Next week, they moved to S City and borrowed a CBD to shoot the last outdoor scenes.
At the same time, the Feitian Award finally arrived. Rong Xu left City S a day early and flew to City B to prepare for his second award ceremony. When he returned to the apartment in the evening, he opened the door and was surprised to see a darkness-
Qin Cheng is not at home.
He was stunned in his heart, his brows slowly frowned, and Rong Xu sighed softly.
"It seems that "Zanghualuo" has started filming these two days?"
Mr. Liu's new film is called "Zanghualuo", which is Qin Cheng's next drama. The movie has many scenes, and the waterfall that Qin Cheng visited before is also a scene needed in the movie. Although he is not satisfied with the newly developed waterfall in Xiangshan Film and Television City, according to Qin Cheng, Mr. Liu had already selected Jiulong Waterfall a few days ago and decided to shoot it there.
The opening ceremony of "Zhan Hualuo" was not announced to the public, and no media knew that this big-produced film with an investment of 400 million yuan was launched quietly.
I didn't know whether it was regret or loss, Rong Xu cooked some supper alone, washed up, and then came to the movie room. Opening the cabinet, Rong Xu looked at the neat trophy inside, staring at it for a long time, couldn't help but reach out, caressing the brilliant and exquisite trophys, and chuckled quietly.
Early the next morning, Luo Zhentao took Rong Xu to Huaxia Entertainment to make a look. At six o'clock in the evening, a black car drove out of the Huaxia Entertainment Building and arrived at the venue steadily twenty minutes later.
Rong Xu quickly met with the crew of "Ambushes" and was no different from last week's Peony Awards. They were still Director Zheng, Zhang Tongtong, and Yi Lan. However, this time, Rong Xu no longer needed to enter the venue with "Zhuo Lu" because tonight he was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award, and the nominated role was Huo Xi.
However, at this moment, everyone didn't know that a plane that had been delayed for six hours finally arrived at the Capital Airport. A tall and handsome man quickly walked into the parking lot from the VIP passage and got into the car. Along the way, the little assistant who was driving in the front row held his breath and did not dare to say a word. The agent sitting in the back of the right also lowered his head honestly and pretended that it did not exist.
Five minutes later, Xu Jin said softly: "... Actually, this is uncontrollable. I think God may not want you to participate in the Feitian Award..." Speaking of this, the gold medal agent suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. His face changed and quickly changed his words: "No, no, look, Qin Cheng, we just didn't have time to attend the red carpet. When you go now, it happens to be the award ceremony! It's better to come early than to come by, we just happened to be..."
"Dudu——"
The car stopped suddenly and became a member of the congested army of traffic.
Xu Jin: “…”
Qin Cheng lowered his eyes and said in a faint tone: "What should I do if I can't get there?"
Xu Jin only thought the other party was worried about the award ceremony, so he explained: "I confirmed with the organizing committee when the plane was delayed in the morning. If you can't arrive, there will be an actor to help you go on stage to present the award."
Qin Cheng: “…”
Xu Jin: "…?" Why does the air seem a little cold?
At the same time, Rong Xu was sitting in her seat, smiling at the stage.
The Feitian Award officially begins.
The author has something to say: Qin Chengcheng: The baby is going to present the awards! Awards and awards!!!
