Chapter 11 A High Five as Proof
Chapter 11 A High Five as Proof
......
Shortly after, the crew had dinner.
Fang Yi led everyone to a corner of the film set, where the assistant director was busy distributing boxed lunches.
With Huang Xiaoming adding dishes, today's food standard has exceeded the limit.
In front of a small square table, the script supervisor brought out five large bowls containing four dishes and a soup.
Fang Yi, Liu Yifei, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Zihan, Yang Mi, and Deng Chao and Fan Bingbing, who hadn't finished filming yet, sat together.
At this time, the young girl was already famous, and among the Condor Heroes' group, she was the most prominent and popular.
Before starting to eat, she greeted Deng Chao and Fan Bingbing in turn, speaking crisply and revealing a maturity beyond her years.
"Let's eat..."
Fang Yi called everyone over and placed the pork rib and lotus root soup in front of the little girl, knowing that she liked to drink it.
Fan Bingbing noticed this and, being a thoughtful person, couldn't help but take a second look at the little girl.
"Sissi is so pretty."
"Sister Bingbing is the real beauty."
The young girl was very outgoing, chatting while drinking her soup.
Perhaps because she hadn't eaten much in the morning, she gulped down a bowl of soup and then ladled out another.
Once the conversation started, everyone ate and chatted, from The Return of the Condor Heroes to The Sniper Phone Booth, and from movies to interesting stories in the entertainment industry.
There are two most eye-catching events in the entertainment industry right now.
At the beginning of the year, Hunan TV's top host Li Xiang and diamond businessman Li Houlin got married in a high-profile manner. It is said that the two had known each other for less than 33 days.
A grand wedding was held in January. Amidst the gossip on the internet and in entertainment print media, it was revealed that Li Houlin and Qin Hailu still had feelings for each other. Li Xiang was accused of having a whirlwind marriage and was called a rich man hunter.
Another issue is the contract termination dispute between "Star Girl" Huang Shengyi and Stephen Chow's Star Overseas company.
Media reports revealed that Huang Shengyi had taken on a private shoot for "Men's Health" magazine without her company's permission, saying that she had violated the "pure" image that Star Shine Entertainment had set for her.
Two big stories, and several girls gathered around, chatting away happily.
The meal took more than half an hour to eat.
After finishing her meal, Liu Yifei gently rubbed her tummy with both hands. Her mother had told her not to eat too much, as it would make her gain weight.
She didn't think so; she was in the prime of her youth and loved indulging in food, and felt it was a huge loss to miss out on a meal.
After rubbing her hands a few times, her expression suddenly changed. She turned away from the small table and covered her mouth with both hands.
Forehead..
A soft burp was released.
Instantly, the little girl's cheeks flushed. Eating so much on someone else's turf, it was so embarrassing to burp.
She turned around nonchalantly, secretly observing everyone's expressions. Seeing that everyone was playing with their phones, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She also cares about her image and is afraid of being laughed at.
At this moment, Fang Yi put down her phone and looked over. Their eyes met, and she thought to herself that since she was eating her senior brother's crew meals anyway, it wouldn't hurt to eat a couple more.
As for her favorite pork rib and lotus root soup, she didn't care whether Huang Xiaoming added it to her meal.
After dinner, Huang Xiaoming took them to visit several film sets.
Liu Yifei followed along for a couple of laps, filled with curiosity and anticipation for the movie.
After wandering around, she quietly carried a small stool to Fang Yi and stared intently at the monitor.
Fang Yi was reviewing the footage shot that morning when he saw her dog acting suspiciously and found it amusing: "Qianqian, why are you being so careful?"
"I'm afraid of bothering you..."
The little girl was sensible; she spoke softly, her eyes never leaving the screen as she attentively watched Huang Xiaoming being abused on camera.
After watching for a while, she put her hands on her knees and acted like a good girl: "Senior brother, when do you think I can make a movie?"
"Didn't you direct two movies?"
Fang Yi asked, puzzled, his gaze falling on her hair, which was being blown by the spring breeze.
Youthful exuberance is nothing more than this.
In 2003, Liu Yifei's debut film, "May Love," began filming and was released last May.
I remember the little girl was so happy at the time, and she vowed to do her best.
Last year, the young girl took on her second film role, "Love Winner".
"Oh, let's not talk about that..."
The young girl lowered her head, a little embarrassed. Her debut film was a complete flop, grossing less than a million dollars after its release.
The second book, "Love Winner," follows in the footsteps of her debut work, and also features her falling head over heels for her grandma.
"May Love" was her first film, and there was no way to change that, but she wanted to make a film that would prove herself.
It has both box office success and critical acclaim.
Having been in the entertainment industry for several years, she followed her mother around, and as a proper student at the Beijing Film Academy, she naturally knew about the unspoken hierarchy of the film and television industry from a long-term perspective.
Film actors are naturally considered superior to television actors.
I wish a film director would take notice of me.
Thinking of all this, she raised her head, mustered her courage, and said to Fang Yi, "Senior brother, I want to act in your movie."
These were her true feelings. While they were mostly jokes during her school days, they were particularly serious today.
They've shown their attitude!
Fang Yi chuckled inwardly and deliberately said, "Aren't you afraid my movie will also flop? Three movies, three flops, and the media will tear you apart?"
"I'm not afraid."
Liu Yifei straightened her neck, her pretty face becoming unusually serious: "I'm not a hundred-yuan bill, I can't attract that many people to like me. Just focus on filming and being a good actress."
After saying that, her face fell, her eyebrows furrowed, and her serious expression turned into a shameless one: "Besides, I still have you, senior brother. I believe you can carry me to new heights."
Fang Yi felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, its weight heavy on his back.
The little girl performed a ritual, asking him to become her ship.
He also pretended to be serious and said in a deep voice, "It's not easy to get a role in my movie; you have to be a good actor at the very least."
"I understand, I will work hard to improve my acting skills."
Liu Yifei is aware of her own shortcomings. She is good at acting in period dramas because of her image, but she is far from being able to play other roles.
Fearing Fang Yi might change his mind, she blinked her beautiful eyes and reached out her hand, saying, "Senior brother, let's give each other a high five as proof!"
Snapped!
Fang Yi raised his hand to block, and the two palms, one large and one small, gently collided.
Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The young girl was in a great mood. Regardless of whether her senior would cast her in his next project, at least she had received a promise.
Yes, in her view, a high five was already a testament to it.
Even if she isn't cast in the next project or the one after that, her senior will eventually look for her again once her acting skills improve.
Hmm... this is probably what Mom usually refers to as connections.
Then, Liu Yifei quieted down and sat down beside Fang Yi to watch the monitor screen.
It was almost 2 o'clock when Chen Zihan called her, saying it was time to visit the set of The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Before leaving, Liu Yifei made two hand gestures to Fang Yi: one to answer a phone call, and the other to tap the keyboard with all ten fingers.
Fang Yi nodded in agreement and waved goodbye.
......
Time flies like an arrow.
As scene after scene was filmed, the shooting was nearing its end.
At the end of March, "Sniper Phone Booth" filmed its final scene.
Bang..
A gunshot rang out, and Huang Xiaoming fell to the ground in the footage, being carried into an ambulance by several nurses.
Before losing consciousness, Huang Xiaoming's face was full of pain, and he vaguely saw a figure coming to the back door of the ambulance.
The camera pans to reveal Deng Chao, who was already prepared.
Deng Chao plays an assassin who is dressed in a suit and tie, wearing a long black trench coat, a black hat and glasses, and carrying a cello, revealing his true identity.
Deng Chao walked slowly but steadily. As he passed the dilapidated phone booth, he turned back and gave the ambulance a faint smile.
His smile was mysterious yet flamboyant, like a mastermind controlling the entire scene before gracefully making his exit.
"Click!"
"Okay, passed!"
"I hereby announce that after a month-long production, 'Sniper Phone Booth' has officially wrapped filming!"
