China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 58 Crew conflict!

Qian Yanqiu angrily said:
"He himself was illiterate and couldn't read the script. He thought my script had too much nonsense, so he deleted a third of the script with a stroke of his pen.

The current script is not enough to shoot thirty episodes, so he found me through Li Yuan and asked me to write more scripts.This man's thick skin is truly astonishing! "

After hearing this, Lin Xuan was speechless for a while, and then suddenly realized.

Why does this drama add actor bios at the beginning?
Why do characters look like they are running at 0.5x speed when they are talking or fighting?
Why does a simple martial arts action have to be replayed left and right again and again?

艹

Just because this grandson randomly changed the script!

Lin Xuan also became irritable and asked in confusion: "Why does Director Li Yuan listen to him in everything?"

"What can the director do? If you don't change, they will just give up!"

Lin Xuan was speechless: "If I don't want to do it, I will do it. Can't I change to someone else?"

"It's all turned on, how can we change people?"

After hearing what he said, Lin Xuan knew that this matter could not be changed.

He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and after being depressed for a long time, he advised:

"Forget it, let's do it. Don't take this show too seriously, you and I. You can make changes as you like, and I can act as I like. Anyway, I signed a one-month schedule. When the time is up, I will leave. ."

Qian Yanqiu sighed: "Hey, this is the only way."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but remind him: "You will learn from every experience. Don't cooperate with such idiots in the future."

………………

Because Qian Yanqiu had to revise the script, the crew was shut down for a few days.

A few days later, all the actors received the new script.

Lin Xuan opened it and checked, and it was similar to Qian Yanqiu's estimate. Nearly one-third of the entire drama had been deleted.

This leads to illogical logic and poor connection in many places.

The new script added a lot of fighting scenes, but Lin Xuan could see that even if they were added, it wouldn't be enough to cover thirty episodes.

Because the time consumed by martial arts drama is very short, only literary drama can beat the time limit.

Just let Wukong have a verbal argument with a few villains, and it can be played for several minutes, even if the martial arts scene is tiring him out.

This change of play affected all the actors, among which Lu Hanbiao's scenes were cut the most.

I heard that he is already contacting other crews, and the chief director has promised to let him go early after filming the scenes here.

Lin Xuan felt a little melancholy after reading the script.

At this time, Ma Yashu and Juanzi came over to visit and complained to him.

"Lin Xuan, have you read the new script? A lot of our scenes have been deleted."

Neither of them looked happy.

Yes, as actors, only those who like to add drama, not those who like to subtract drama.

Lin Xuan sighed helplessly, not knowing how to comfort them.

Seeing their angry expressions, an idea flashed in my mind.

"I've read the script. He changed the scene where Qiao Ling'er and Fairy Biyou were kissing and touching each other into cuddling and cuddling. It was really a random change. Just delete the text scene. Why did you delete my kissing scene?"

The two of them froze immediately after hearing this.

When she finally came to her senses, Juanzi's face instantly turned red and she looked at him with a mixture of anger and shame.

"Hahahahaha..."

Ma Yashu was so amused that he laughed uproariously and slapped the bed with his hands like crazy.

Lin Xuan saw her smiling so happily and said again:

"You have another paragraph here. In order to seduce Qiao Ling'er, Holy Mother Turtle Spirit transformed into a white lotus, wearing simple clothes on the bed..."

"To shut up!"

Ma Yashu shouted and rushed to cover his mouth.

Seeing the trick, Lin Xuan reached out to hold her wrist and said with a smile: "What do you mean by simple clothes?"

"Bah! Rogue!"

Ma Yashu's face turned red and she kicked him with her foot in embarrassment.

The three of them had a fight in the room for a while, venting a lot of their depression.

They are just small actors, not producers or stars.

Faced with this situation, we can only let it go.

…………

The next day after receiving the new script, the crew resumed filming.

Because there had just been a quarrel between the lead actor and the lead actor, the atmosphere in the crew was a bit tense, and no one dared to speak.

Through this incident, Cao Rong established his absolute dominance on the crew. During filming, he had to teach people to curse directly.

The chief director and investors are all my people, so why are you fighting with me?

Even his martial arts stand-in has become arrogant and domineering.

Mainland staff dare not speak out about this.

Lin Xuan went to the crew to observe as usual, and stopped by for a meal at noon.

Every time he comes to the film and television base, the orphans here will come to play with him.

The kid was quite naive, but he had a good impression of him.

Lin Xuan also likes them very much and often buys snacks such as spicy strips and jelly outside to satisfy their cravings.

The child had eaten it several times and was extremely grateful to him. He even took out his treasured candy as a gift in return.

Originally they were worried that Lin Xuan would dislike it, but when they saw him eating it in front of them, the children immediately smiled happily.

After a few days of leisure, Lin Xuan's part finally arrived.

Today we are filming the scene where Qiao Linger and Bai Lianhua meet for the first time.

Bai Lianhua was entangled by gangsters in the market. Qiao Ling'er saw her and stood up to save her. The fate of the two began.

Lin Xuan changed his clothes and started to dialogue with Ma Yashu.

Because Cao Rong deleted and changed the script, there were only a few dry lines left in the dialogue between the two.

During their breaks these days, they have already memorized their lines.

After checking it twice, there was no problem, and then rushed to the scene to prepare for shooting.

Arriving at the set, Lin Xuan found that the group of children had also arrived, looking at him eagerly. "What are you doing here? Do you want to watch me act?"

The children laughed and nodded.

They knew that Lin Xuan would have a role today, so they all came over to see how this great benefactor acted.

"Then watch carefully, but don't be naughty and delay the crew's filming."

"We just watched and didn't say anything."

"it is good."

Lin Xuan smiled and touched their little heads.

"Every group is ready, start!"

Cao Rong announced the start of filming, and the actor who played the evil young man appeared on the scene with the step of disowning his relatives.

The evil young man spotted Bai Lianhua who was shopping. When he got closer, he found that the woman was very beautiful, so he hugged him and laughed wildly.

Bai Lianhua's face was filled with disgust. She struggled hard several times but failed to break free, so she had no choice but to let the evil young man hold her.

In the original script, Bai Lianhua was a bandit leader with a bad temper. When he was teased by a gangster, he grabbed him by the collar and slapped him twice.

After Cao Rong deleted and revised it, Bai Lianhua was like a weak and powerless little daughter-in-law who didn't react when someone was scorned.

It seems that in order to induce Qiao Ling'er to take action, he cooperated with the evil young man in acting and fishing for law enforcement.

Lin Xuan shook his head speechlessly and prepared to enter the venue.

The butler beside him introduced the identity of the evil young man. Qiao Ling'er was not afraid at all. She rushed up and shouted: "Stop!"

The evil young man turned back arrogantly and looked up and down: "You dare to interfere in my affairs, who are you?"

Qiao Ling'er said righteously: "In broad daylight, the world is bright, and in public, you actually dare to rob a civilian girl. Is there any royal law?"

The evil young man smiled contemptuously: "Wang Fa? I am Wang Fa! Beat me!"

Several servants grabbed Qiao Ling'er and beat him several times, then pushed him to the ground.

"Crack!"

While filming, Cao Rong suddenly stopped.

Lin Xuan stood up and looked at him, thinking that there was something wrong with his acting.

I saw Cao Rong pointing at the children and yelling: "Take your mother in my mouth! Drive them out!"

Lin Xuan turned around and saw that it was the children who were so absorbed in watching the fun that they walked into the camera unknowingly.

Cao Rong roared like this, and his subordinate Wu Xing got the order and started to chase people away.

"What are you looking at? Get out."

"If I don't give you food, I'll starve you to death."

The martial artists pushed and kicked people away.

The children were frightened away like little mice, but a few bold ones turned around and made faces at them.

The martial artists stared, pointed at them and began to curse, using very dirty words.

Lin Xuan looked at the group of martial artists with disgust, said nothing, and continued back to the shooting position.

It was indeed wrong for children to interfere with the filming, but the tone and actions of Cao Rong and his men Wu Xing made him feel very uncomfortable.

Other mainland actors also feel the same way.

But Cao Rong is now the leader of the crew. No one dares to offend him, so he can only suppress his anger in his heart.

The shooting in the morning went quite smoothly. Anyway, this kind of mythological drama doesn't pay much attention to acting skills, as long as you don't make key mistakes.

After work was over, everyone lined up to get their meals.

The leading actors ate lunch boxes sent by the hotel.

The food for the extras was packed in several stainless steel thermos buckets. After receiving the plastic lunch boxes, they came to serve the food themselves.

Half an hour later, everyone had almost finished eating.

There is still a quarter of the food left in the stainless steel thermal bucket.

These meals are reserved for these dozens of orphans.

After Lin Xuan finished lunch, he went for a walk outside the lounge to eat.

The orphans were sitting on the ground not far away, eagerly waiting for the crew to finish eating.

What happened in the morning frightened them, but they had to eat when they were hungry, even if they were scared.

Lin Xuan remembered that there were some snacks in the lounge, so he turned back and took them out for them to eat.

At this moment, Cao Rong walked out of the lounge and saw the group of children.

He frowned and began to curse.

"Ah Wei, come on."

Cao Rong called over some Wu Xing who were squatting in the corner smoking, then lowered his head and said a few words.

After listening to this, several martial artists showed ugly and evil smiles.

Lin Xuan and the surrounding extras felt something was wrong and looked at them one after another.

I saw those warriors walking up to the stainless steel bucket, flicking the cigarette ashes in their hands into the food, and two of them even threw cigarette butts in.

Lin Xuan was stunned when he saw this scene and couldn't believe his eyes.

After a few seconds, an uncontrollable anger surged out of his chest.

"Fuck! What the hell are you doing!"

His roar frightened everyone around him, and they all gathered around him.

Many people saw the action of Wu Xing flicking cigarette ashes.

They told other people about this, and all the people from the mainland were furious when they heard it.

Those martial artists were not afraid of Lin Xuan at all.

He continued to smoke and looked at him sideways.

"Fuck you!"

"If you flick the cigarette ashes, if they don't flick into the bucket, they will flick into your mouth."

Lin Xuan turned blue with anger, pointed at several people and cursed:

"Cao Nima, do you still have humanity! These meals are for children!"
