Chapter 226 Crew Life
Chapter 226 Crew Life
The next day, Ji Xia got up early. Today was the day for the AB combination filming, and it was also the first day that Ji Xia and Shan Siyuan would film their scenes together. She absolutely could not be late, so she finished washing up as quietly as possible.
She could see that Jiang Qingyan was really tired. In the past, he would wake up and ask her what was wrong at the slightest noise, but today he was sleeping very soundly. She gently picked up the fat cat that was sleeping on the side and placed it in the man's arms, pulled the quilt in place and left.
Ji Xia hurriedly got up and went to the set before the sun rose.
After changing her clothes, she sat in the dressing room and looked over today's script. She had already memorized her lines by heart. She would read through them, close her eyes, and think about how she would act in the next moment.
Shan Siyuan was looking at the script thoughtfully, with a makeup artist behind him helping him adjust his hair. David, who liked to hang out on the set when he had nothing to do, was now sitting next to him. "Siyuan, there were several beautiful shots when we were filming here, look," he said, holding up his phone to show the shots he had taken.
Shan Siyuan had worked with David before and the two were very familiar with each other.
He raised his eyes to glance at the picture on the other person's phone. The picture of the girl looking at the camera was magnified in front of his eyes. In the dark and dirty environment, she was like a touch of white snow, but there was a conspicuous needle stuck in her leg.
Shan Siyuan couldn't help but sigh that she was very beautiful, and the image of her in his memory became more three-dimensional.
David continued chattering, "She's like an elf in front of the camera. I'm going to take her to America if I have the chance. I think she can portray that kind of decadent, decayed feeling..."
Jiang Qingyan was woken up by Xing Xing's licking. He was dazed and thought it was Xia Xia. He was still wondering: Why is it so prickly? When he reached out to comfort her, he felt something wrong.
She opened her eyes and faced a big cat face. She let out a long "meow~" and nudged the man's neck to act coquettishly. "Meow meow, I haven't eaten for a long time."
Jiang Qingyan lay in bed for a while before he successfully started the machine. He had been very busy in the United States before, but he successfully pushed the project forward a big step.
His tense nerves were now well rested. He looked around and prepared to go check out the shooting scene.
Jiang Qingyan asked Zhou Yu to deliver the clothes, and then asked Zhang Guoguo for the set where they were filming. When she went there, Ji Xia and Shan Siyuan were filming their daily interactions.
Wang Sijia was wearing a simple suspender, jeans, and a coat, holding a book in her hand, and curiously peeking in front of the door of the newly opened store.
Gu Zheng happened to come out and saw the curious girl. He received a task from the bureau and hid in a car repair shop on the block to collect evidence.
He was very cautious about many things when he came here, and his vigilance increased when he saw the girl who suddenly came and looked out of place in this dark neighborhood.
"Are you new here? What does your store do?" The girl took the initiative, her voice full of curiosity.
Gu Zheng put down the work in his hands and replied: "Yes, doing auto repair."
"Auto repair? Then can you help me fix my bike?" The girl's eyes lit up, thinking of her bike that she hadn't used for a long time. "There's no other car repair shop around here since that shop moved away."
Gu Zheng caught a point and asked with some confusion: "Why don't you go outside to repair it?"
"We can't get out." The girl wanted to say more, but a voice came from the distance: "Wang Sijia, come back quickly."
"I see," the girl called back, "I'll be leaving now. I'll come find you with the car."
Gu Zheng nodded in response.
The girl walked out a few steps, then turned back and said with a smile: "By the way, I haven't told you yet, my name is Wang Sijia."
In Gu Zheng's eyes, she was strange, but lively, with her flying ponytail spreading wantonly. She walked step by step to the sinful neighborhood, disappeared, and swallowed.
"Wang Sijia?" Gu Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.
The higher-ups had long known that there were drug dealers and manufacturers in this neighborhood, but the ringleaders were extremely cunning, so they sent Gu Zheng here to collect evidence in an attempt to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Ka!" Wang Haiyang shouted into the intercom, "Save one."
David and Wang Haiyang looked at the image on the monitor and said, "I feel like we can push it up a little bit more. Maybe the light will be better..."
The two discussed intensely that every frame of the film had deep meaning and could not be wasted. Even though they had thought of the angles before shooting, they still had to adjust them according to the presentation and the actors' condition.
Even though the temperature here is still very high now, it will be cool when the wind blows. Ji Xia was discussing with Shan Siyuan that the performance just now seemed a bit unsatisfactory and they needed to make some adjustments later.
Suddenly feeling that he was covered with clothes, Ji Xia thought it was Guoguo, so he subconsciously replied: "Thank you Guoguo." Without even turning his head, he continued to tell Shan Siyuan about his feelings just now.
She noticed that Shan Siyuan did not respond, and looked up at him in confusion, but found that the man's eyes were always behind her. Ji Xia turned her head curiously.
"Yanyan?" Ji Xia was pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Qingyan, her voice softening unconsciously. "Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Jiang Qingyan's expression changed instantly, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he subconsciously pulled her collar. "I woke up and wanted to see how the environment of your new play is."
Jiang Qingyan didn't mention "I'm coming to see Shan Siyuan." Ever since Xia Xia took on this movie, she would unintentionally mention this man whenever they chatted, saying things like "Shan Siyuan is a great actor." She felt that the friction in their acting skills would help her improve herself...
Xia Xia mentioned the title of single actor 13 times.
Jiang Qingyan was very worried. He was afraid that his acting skills would clash. If any of that clash led to feelings, he would be finished.
He had just finished watching the entire filming of the two of them. The girl's look was very beautiful, and the man standing opposite her was surprisingly a good match for her. Moreover, his eyes were very similar to his own. When the director called cut, the two were still discussing something.
His eyes did not change, and Shan Siyuan did not break the act.
Jiang Qingyan no longer hesitated and immediately went up to interrupt.
Ji Xia still remembered that she was talking to the actor Shan, and quickly turned around, "Qing Yan, this is the male lead of our play, Shan Siyuan, the actor Shan."
At the same time, she pointed to the man behind her and introduced him to Shan Siyuan, "Shan Yingdi, this is my boyfriend, Jiang Qingyan."
Shan Siyuan looked at the man opposite him. He was a little taller than him, with a temperament and a somewhat immature look. His eyes were like a wolf, as if warning him. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hello, Shan Siyuan." He stretched out his hand, very humbly.
Moreover, when he was checking on Ji Xia before, he knew that she had a very rich boyfriend. He also read a lot of reports about the two of them. It can only be said that hearing about someone is not as good as meeting them in person.
Jiang Qingyan held his hand, exerting a little force, implying a warning.
The atmosphere between the two was extremely awkward, but Ji Xia didn't notice it. She gestured to Actor Shan and went to talk to Jiang Qingyan. However, time was tight, and before she could say a few words, the director called her over to discuss the scene.
"Go ahead, I'll watch you here." Jiang Qingyan is very understanding and he will stare at you intently.
Movies are like this, a scene takes a long time to polish, and it is not until the evening that Ji Xia has time to talk to her boyfriend. The two of them sit in the room and chat.
"Qing Yan, why don't you go back? I'm too busy on the crew every day and don't have time to talk to you. You should go back to work." Ji Xia really felt that it was boring for her boyfriend to just sit there and watch.
Jiang Qingyan's hand, which was serving rice, froze for a moment, and then he said naturally, "I've completed most of my work since returning from the United States. Besides, Zhou Yu is at Xingyuan Technology. I'll stay with you for a while and wait for news from the United States."
Zhou Yu (clown version): I am just a brick, I can be moved wherever I am needed.
Since her boyfriend said so, Ji Xia didn't care.
Jiang Qingyan stayed in the crew for half a month, took over Guoguo's work every day, and became familiar with the director. Wang Haitao was still surprised. He didn't expect Ji Xia's boyfriend to be so clingy.
Don’t overbearing CEOs have to work?
Half a month later, Jiang Qingyan had to leave for the United States. He was very worried about Shan Siyuan. Every time he chatted with Xia Xia, he seemed to be getting along well with her. He was a scheming old man.
Jiang Qingyan still believed in Xia Xia, after all, he was young.
Shan Siyuan felt the hostility from Ji Xia's boyfriend. He did have a good impression of the girl, but she had a boyfriend, so he didn't think much about it.
Shan Siyuan was curious about Ji Xia because of his previous relationship with her. After getting to know her, he felt that this person resonated with him in acting. He had never met such a person in all these years.
Ji Xia's life on the crew couldn't be simpler. She filmed, communicated with the director, communicated with Shan Siyuan, memorized lines, and chatted with David.
David and Ji Xia have become good friends these days. David admires this girl very much and believes that she should live under the camera. This kind of conversation is repeated countless times every day:
"Xia, come with me to the United States to develop your career. You are suitable for that place. I will give you the best script!"
"Xia, my father is also a great director, he will appreciate you."
"Xia, you are simply perfect!"
Ji Xia still prefers to stay in China because she has family, lover and fans there. Although the script has many restrictions, she still wants to stay in China.
"Haha, David, after being with you for so long, my Mandarin has gone astray." Ji Xia complained with a smile.
The entire crew was very harmonious, and everyone worked together to make this movie a good one.
During the three months of filming, Ji Xia seemed to have disappeared from the entertainment circle. The only two trending searches were about Jiang Qingyan going to Hong Kong to see his girlfriend, and the other was about Ji Xia disappearing.
The fans were eagerly waiting for Xia Xia to come out.
On the contrary, Song Yurou's movie keeps on being searched. Song Yurou and Pei Chen have a strong CP feeling. Song Yurou is dedicated. Song Yurou's new movie. Song Yurou's acting skills have improved a lot. Song Yurou admits that she put a lot of effort into filming this movie.
What movie is it?
[A love story of misplaced relationship, performed by Yu Rou and Pei Chen, very good, you can look forward to it]
[Already on? ]
【Still filming】
Will Yurou win Best Actress? She's really working hard.
[Seeing Yurou become so skinny, I feel so sorry for her]
[Uh, she earns more money in one movie than you could earn in several lifetimes, and you still feel sorry for her. It's kind of funny.]
[But I’ve been getting pushes from this movie these days. I’ll have to see what it’s like when it comes out.]
【Where is her mortal enemy? 】
【Who? 】
【Ji Xia Bei】
[That’s right, I haven’t seen her since the Liuliyuan promotion ended.]
Is the movie so unpopular?
[I saw some paparazzi news a few days ago, saying that Jiang Qingyan had left for Hong Kong again. I have to say, this man is too loving.]
[As expected, I’ve been following this CP since I started watching variety shows]
[How many times has this happened? ]
[I really miss seeing Xia Xia. She disappeared as soon as she joined the crew. There is no business at all.]
[Yes, she really is focused on being an actress. She doesn’t even shoot for magazines. It’s really rare.]
[No one is looking for her]
[If you had said that before, I would have believed it, but now I think Ji Xia has so many hit dramas in her portfolio, it’s impossible that no one would approach her. It can only be said that she is unwilling to do so.]
[Let's wait and see. I'll go read some of Liuli Yan's fan fiction.]
……
Ji Xia's part will be finished in half a month. She only has a few important scenes left, all of which are opposite Shan Siyuan. Tonight, she finished filming early, which was a rare occasion. She sat in the room soaking her feet, reading the script on her legs.
Although her scenes will be less than Shan Siyuan's, the role of Wang Sijia is very complicated, and sometimes she can't grasp the degree well, so many clips need to be shot many times.
Ji Xia himself was also under a lot of pressure and had been losing weight rapidly these days.
She was thinking about how to act out the scene where Gu Zheng discovered Wang Sijia taking drugs. This girl has always had a relatively innocent image, but behind her purity, she has already reached the level of intravenous injection.
So she couldn't leave the neighborhood, and she couldn't even go to the university she had agreed to go to with Gu Zheng.
And as to why Wang Sijia did that xd, director Wang Haitao said that he left this part blank to give the audience room for imagination.
While he was thinking about it, Zhang Guoguo knocked on the door and came in. She was holding a tablet in her hand, looking a little embarrassed. She sat opposite Ji Xia without saying a word.
Ji Xia noticed the other person's strange behavior, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Guoguo turned the words around in her mouth before speaking, "Xia Xia, I added a fan on WeChat today. She said she had something important to tell you, so I sorted it out."
She didn't want Xia Xia to get involved in this kind of thing, but she couldn't hide it from Xia Xia.
Ji Xia opened the document with some doubts and found a long paragraph inside:
Hello, Senior Ji Xia, I am a student in the Acting Department of Kyoto Film Academy. My name is Zhou Di, I am 22 years old and will be graduating soon. The reason I am looking for you is because of these recordings.
[Male: get out of class dismissed. Zhou Di, you stay. I have some problems with last week's performance assignment.]
The small noises ended, and the room should have been empty. Then the sound started again.
[M: Zhou Di, do you know why I kept you here?]
[Female: Teacher Liu, you've suppressed my grades for three years. I'm graduating next year. Can't you give me back the grades I deserve?]
[Man: You can't say anything without facts. I think your performance is very problematic. I need to think about it before graduation.]
