Chapter 20
Chapter 19 – Yao Moth
It wasn’t until “Unreachable” finally started again that Ji Chenli didn’t know what Ming Lang meant by reorganization. The crew had changed everything from the director to the production staff, and even changed several supporting roles. Except for the two leading actors, The whole team had a big change, and at first glance, they were all new faces. The director Ji Chenli knew each other well, and when he called Fang, he was still a college student who had just graduated from the Drama Academy, but Ji Chenli knew that the two of them Two years later, he will become the youngest director in China to win an international award. His future is limitless. However, Ji Chenli remembers that this director should have had no intersection with Ming and Korean film and television before he became famous. to her.
“Is it Miss Ji? Hello, I’m Fang Shi, I…I’ve known you for a long time!” Fang Shi scratched her head and introduced herself. She just graduated from university, and her face is still childish. Bullying.
“Hi, I’m Ji Chenli. Director Fang is welcome, just call me by my name.” Ji Chenli shook hands with her and sighed secretly. Such a soft-tempered director must have been eaten by the crew. No.
“Ah? Oh, ok, ok! Ji…uh, you don’t have to be polite, Miss Chenli, Director Fang is not used to it…” After Fang Shi finished speaking, he laughed a few times, but he was still a little dazed, Ji Chenli couldn’t believe that this man would become one of the best directors in China in the future.
Fang Shi was just a poor student who had just graduated, and was still worrying about how to get into the industry. Unexpectedly, an opportunity would come to her on her own initiative. The president of Minghan Film and Television personally handed her a script and asked her to be the director to make a movie. .
“No, no!” Fang Shi understood Ming Lang’s intentions at the time, and threw the script like a hot potato, “Mr. Ming, you think highly of me too! I…I have only directed two low-budget online movies. Give me the big book, just in case, just in case…”
Ming Lang didn’t say anything, the assistant behind her patted Fang Shi’s shoulder with a smile, “Director Fang, don’t worry about being a bold director, Mr. Ming said that if the show loses, it’s hers, and if it makes money at the box office, I will share with you.” For the share, just ask how much you want, is 5% enough?”
“Hundreds and hundreds…five percent?” Fang Shi opened his mouth wide, are you kidding me? A film investor can only get 30% of the box office. How dare you give 5% to such a little-known director like yourself? Could it be that the world really fell for his own head? Fang Shi had never had this kind of luck. She never won a lottery ticket with two dollars. She didn’t believe in the world’s pies at all. She almost suspected that Ming Lang and the smiling assistant were fraudulent gangs. I’ve seen Ming Lang on TV, and it’s obviously this person. Could it be that liars have also invented the disguise technique now?
“Not enough?” The assistant thought that Fang Shi was too little, exchanged glances with Ming Lang, and said, “Then ten percent?”
Fang Shi was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. The assistant squatted on the ground and looked at her and said, “Fifteen percent? Director Fang, fifteen percent is not a lot. Your director will share equally with our company. Profit, if Mr. Ming didn’t see that you are indeed talented, we would have left long ago.”
Fang Shi was on the verge of crying at the assistant who greeted him with a smile, “No, what kind of director does Ming Han Film and Television want to work with? Why do you have to find me?”
“Didn’t I just say that you are talented?”
I believe you will be surprised! Fang Shi slandered, and at this moment, Ming Lang, who had been silent all this time, spoke, and only said a few words, “Director Fang, I believe in your talent.”
Fang Shi’s eyes moved to the woman who had been in her rental house for so long and said a word. This woman looked cold and hard, her lips were pursed into a downward curve, and she was not easy to mess with at first glance. But the words that came out of her mouth were so strangely convincing that Fang Shi really felt that she might really be a naturally talented director, so she agreed as soon as she gritted her teeth, “Okay.” !”
Then there was the scene where Ji Chenli and Fang Shi met for the first time.
“Director Fang just said that he knew me a long time ago?” Ji Chenli and Fang Shi got along awkwardly for a few minutes, and found a topic casually to break the embarrassment, only to see Fang Shi nodded and said: “Yes, I used to accompany me Grandma watched costume dramas, and she always said that the vicious queen you played is very similar to…” Fang Shi realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words, “No! That’s not what I meant! I mean, Miss Ji’s acting skills are very good! I… “
“Okay, Director Fang, I understand your intention.” Ji Chenli was not angry, she thought this stupid little director was quite funny, and said with a smile, “Thank you Director Fang for affirming my acting skills.”
Fang Shi lowered his head and muttered, “It’s not me, it’s my grandma…”
Ji Chenli was happy, and smiled more cheerfully, “Thank you Grandma Fang for affirming my acting skills, haha!”
Fang Shi’s face turned red and white, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and slip in.
Fortunately, this episode of the meeting passed quickly. Fang Shi had to familiarize himself with the set and tell the photographer about the location of the camera. Ji Chenli also had to make up and change costumes.
Ji Chenli walked out a few steps, thought about it and then looked back, only to see that this little director was completely out of the daze just now when he was working, his eyes were extremely focused, he looked very serious, he danced and gestured, every detail must be implemented , so Ji Chenli understands why she became famous at a young age, this kind of earnestness with eyes shining when facing the career she likes, it is unfair to not be famous.
When Ji Chenli arrived in the dressing room, she found that Mingyan was there too. She had already finished putting on her makeup. When Ji Chenli came in, she quickly stood up and called “Sister-in-law” in a low voice, like a little daughter-in-law. When Ji Chenli asks in his ear what is the next sentence of delicious but dumpling, Baguo is indeed punished unclearly by Minghong.
Ji Chenli nodded to Mingyan politely, “Just tell me by my name.”
“Okay…okay…”
Ji Chenli sat in front of the mirror, Mingyan moved over slowly, and said hesitantly: “Chenli, you…are you still angry with me?”
“No.” Ji Chenli told the truth. Although she didn’t forgive Mingyan, she never got angry. When she was angry, others didn’t know it. In the end, she was the one who felt uncomfortable. Why should she punish herself for other people’s mistakes? Could it be that if you were bitten by a mad dog on the road, can you bite back? Of course, I think I am unlucky, and I will do it in the future.
“Really?” Ming Yan’s eyes lit up, “Then you forgive me?”
Ji Chenli didn’t answer, just smiled noncommittally, so Mingyan’s face wrinkled again, and said with a wry smile: “I see, Chenli, no matter what, I just want you to know that I really know what I did wrong I just want to apologize to you…”
At this time, the makeup artist just came in, Ji Chenli naturally discussed the makeup with the makeup artist, and left Mingyan aside, Mingyan stood for a while, then left angrily.
Changing to a normal person as the director and the crew naturally became much more normal, everything went according to the shooting schedule, but after a few days, Ji Chenli became convinced of the other party, the original doubts disappeared, and Fang Shi’s capture of the actor’s emotions Extremely sensitive, she understands the character of the characters in the script more thoroughly than Ji Chenli, and when she tells Ji Chenli the expression effect she wants, every time Ji Chenli finishes speaking, she suddenly becomes enlightened, secretly admiring this young graduate who just graduated Director, one time Ji Chenli ate a box lunch with Fang Shi, and said to her, “Director Fang, you will definitely become the best director in China.”
Fang Shi blushed embarrassingly, “Don’t laugh at me.”
Ji Chenli smiled lightly, “Let’s wait and see if you don’t believe me.” As he spoke, he brought a small piece of lean meat from Fang Shi’s lunch box.
This scene happened to be seen by Ming Lang who was passing by. Ming Lang stood behind a tree silently watching the interaction between the two talking and laughing, her expression remained unchanged, but her assistant who had followed her for many years suddenly felt a sense of depression.
“Mr. Ming, Miss Ji seems to be eating already, can’t we make it through?” the assistant asked deliberatively.
Ming Lang stood behind the tree for a moment, shook his head and said, “Forget it, let’s go.”
“But, this…” the assistant raised the food box in his hand.
“Let’s go.” Ming Lang said and left.
fall down? But this is Mr. Ming… The assistant saw that Ming Lang had gone far away, so he didn’t have time to think about it, so he trotted to keep up.
The crew of “Unreachable” is no different from other normal crews, except for one thing, the crew members seem to be quite afraid of Ji Chenli. Seeing Ji Chenli respectful, the smile on his face became like a flower, saying Not flattery, Ji Chenli thought about it for several days but couldn’t figure out why, once asked Feng Cai, Feng Cai didn’t take it seriously, “Why else, flatter sister Chenli.”
Ji Chenli just wanted to laugh when he heard that, “You don’t have a fever, do you? Why are you flattering me?”
“Sister Chenli, it’s a shame you’re still in the entertainment circle, why can’t you figure out the twists and turns.” Feng Cai pulled Ji Chenli to educate him, “The last time Xie Qinglan teased you in the film crew, Although this news was blocked by Mr. Ming and was not allowed to spread, but on the surface, they are all people in the same circle. If you look down and don’t look up, don’t you know how to chew your tongue in private? Xie Qinglan’s future in the country is very good, Why go abroad? How can you hang around in the circle if you don’t understand such a clear thing.”
“You mean they thought that Xie Qinglan’s going abroad was something I heard in front of Minglang?” Ji Chenli shook his head with a smile, “How is that possible?”
Feng Cai curled her lips, “You think it’s impossible, but those people don’t think so. This circle is such a snobbish place. When you have no background, those people will naturally think of ways to suppress you, but once you have a backer, It’s too late for them to flatter, who doesn’t want to become famous overnight? Even Xiao Wang, who works as a handyman, still dreams of becoming a big star.”
They were chatting, only heard a movement outside the lounge, Ji Chenli asked: “What’s going on outside?”
“Sister Chenli, sit down for a while, I’ll go out and have a look.”
Feng Cai came back after going out for a while, and shouted happily: “Sister Chenli, come out soon! There is no filming today, the director said it is a holiday!”
“Holiday?” Ji Chenli wondered, “What kind of vacation?” With so many employees, equipment, and venues, one day of vacation would cost one day more. ?
“Mr. Ming said it! She also asked someone to pull the grill to eat, saying that she wanted to barbecue!”
“…What the **** is she messing with?” Ji Chenli managed to stay on the set for a few days, hiding from Minglang’s cleanliness, thinking that he would be able to live in peace for a long time, but he didn’t expect An’s life to be over so soon.
