Chapter 47 Missing
Brother Qi stared at the peacock picture on the wall, dazed.Cheng Tianlu hugged him from behind, "I have a discussion with you, can you remove all the paintings on the wall, I am upset after seeing it."
"Soon, when I figure out what happened, I will return your clean wall."
Cheng Tianlu was helpless: "I have been in the news for many years. Whether it is experience or intuition, this matter will not have any good results. Even if you know the truth, so what? It is like opening the wound that has scabbed. For a while. No one will be happy, and maybe someone will be hurt more."
Brother Qi smiled and said, "Isn't the reporter the most curious person? You are not such a fearful person."
"I'm afraid something will happen to you!" Cheng Tianlu patted his face, "Do you really think it was an accident that a 40-meter machete fell on the set?"
"Hey, it wasn't an accident, could it be murder?"
"Stupid Baitian, Brother Sen has been making props for so many years. I have experienced the sausage man strangler. It is very professional and reliable. Has there ever been such a big accident on your set? The people below you, you know their abilities very well .”
Brother Qi had never thought about this before. He frowned and shook his head: "I have been filming with these people for many years, and no one would do such a thing."
"What if it's not for your own people?"
"Aiming at the head teacher? It's even more impossible. Everyone can't get rid of the responsibility when something goes wrong. You think too much."
"I hope I'm superstitious. In any case, you should be more careful. Many major events are caused by one accident triggering another accident, and the result is uncontrollable."
"Accident? Murder?" Qi Geer looked up at the ceiling.At that time, there was absolutely no one on the top, and no one activated the mechanical equipment to make the steel blade fall.Whether this is artificial or not is difficult to verify. It may not be true that someone loosened the screws on purpose.It is naturally impossible for that person to accurately manipulate the props to fall on Ban Wu's head, but if he wants to shut down the entire crew, it doesn't matter who it falls on.It can be deduced from this that if someone really set a trap, it must not be aimed at the class leader, but at the entire shooting team.
Brother Qi summoned several people in key positions.First of all, he said to the prop master: "Li Sen, the management of props is too lax. Director Ban Wu is right. Our local method of steelmaking, if the control is not good, accidents will happen."
Li Sen raised his eyebrows: "I said, the props we have made are five hundred if not one thousand, and there has never been a problem. This is bad luck."
Ling Lingjiu reprimanded: "What are you talking about! We brothers and sisters are a family, who is this blamed for?"
Li Sen was dejected and remained silent.The sound engineer patted him on the shoulder, "Don't mind, Brother Sen, let's be more careful in the future, and check it a few more times next time, and the big guy will help you watch."
"There will be no next time," Qi Geer said, "Da Bangzi and I are going to change the script, and those steel knives, dismemberment beds, explosives and other dangerous things will not be used."
Everyone looked at each other.The cameraman couldn't help but said: "Director, this is a bit of a big deal, isn't it? Take all these out, and the whole play can't be rewritten?"
"We will make some adjustments, and the overall situation will not change much. Some plots do not need to be filmed in real life, but can be explained through the lens."
"But our style has always been down-to-earth, and we don't play tricks. Director Ban Wu is great, but he's 'too high', and he's not in the same way as us. It's really unnecessary to follow him." Others, although not Talking, but everyone looked at Brother Qi together, and the eyes were opinions.Over the years, everyone got along very well, and just because they were too familiar with each other, Qi Geer, who was at the helm, suddenly turned a corner, and everyone was in a mess.Ling Lingjiu wanted to stabilize the morale of the army, and said a few words for Brother Qi, but Li Sen said: "That's right! Everyone in Ban Wu avoids him in the circle, saying that he recruits gangsters, if he didn't attract rabbits Lin Yizhong, tossing about tens of billions of studios, so many projects will not be stopped. To put it bluntly, this person is a disaster star!"
Brother Qi was furious: "If the work is messed up, it's screwed up, don't talk such fucking nonsense!"
The lighting engineer kicked Li Sen's ass and said softly, "Are you talking like a human?" It was so rare for Brother Qi to lose his temper, and everyone was anxious.
Li Sen fought back loudly: "My mouth stinks! I shut up!"
Ling Lingjiu: "Hey, you fucking..."
Brother Qi: "Li Sen, if you have any opinions, you should stay at home for two days. I'll call you when I have work."
"Eh?!" Li Sen was shocked, "What did I do wrong? Is it okay to say something? I have worked so hard for these years, and I don't want to show any affection?"
Ling Lingjiu hugged him by the shoulders, pushed him away, and scolded him: "Speak less, go back to sleep for two days to reduce the fire, it's so fucking indiscriminate, and you still have the face to tell your love. When did something happen? Brother Qi didn't save you, have you paid back the money owed to Brother Qi?..."
Brother Qi let out a breath, and said, "I'm not protecting Ban Wu, this matter has nothing to do with him at all. What will happen if the steel knife fell on someone's head yesterday?
Everyone has been in this industry for so long, and they all know that the string must be stretched at any time and cannot be relaxed.I understand everyone's opinions on Ben Wu and me.I didn't think carefully and didn't communicate well with everyone. "Brother Qi glanced at Ling Lingjiu who had gone away, and this time he could only play the role of Ling Lingjiu by himself: "Everyone has been together for so long, and you all know the bottom line. Mention.It is not a long-term solution for us to guard our own one-acre three-point land. Now there is an opportunity. Uncle Hai allows us to make a good film regardless of the funds, and there are seniors here. I want to seize the opportunity and make some achievements. "
The others didn't speak, with doubts on their faces.Brother Qi continued: "That's how things are. If you have problems, we will solve them together. If you don't want to do it, don't force it." No.
Brother Qi nodded: "If you have an idea, you can talk to me anytime. Those who occupy the hole and don't work, don't delay everyone, clean up and get out."
Seeing Brother Qi walk away unhurriedly, everyone looked at each other, speechless.They were all familiar with Brother Qi's temper, and it was useless to complain, so they all settled down and returned to their work.
Just as the set was back on track, a person walked in facing the bright lights.The movie face was still vivid in the strong light, and after looking around, he finally found Brother Qi.
"Director, long time no see."
Brother Qi turned his head, it was Tong Yiru.Brother Qi really didn't want to see her, he wasn't good at lying, but he couldn't keep a cold face, and the corners of his mouth curled up in embarrassment: "Here we come."
"Uh. Are you angry with me for not looking for me for so long?" The tone of the words was charming, like coquettish with a lover.
"I don't have any work on hand, and you don't have to worry about work, so I won't bother you."
"Do you want to bother me or not? That's a genuine statement. When will our film open? A bunch of people chased me to ask about the progress of the film. Today, that kind of thing happened again. Many people will be watching whether it will open or not."
Brother Qi thought to himself: "What kind of thing happened?"
Ban Wu came over and said joyfully, "Yi Taru is here! He's in pretty good shape recently, his face is radiant, and his eyes are bright."
"The head teacher can really make me happy. I recently lost my relationship, so I can concentrate on fitness, learning English, and work. Life must go on, right?"
Ban Wu secretly glanced at Brother Qi.He has seen countless multilateral relationships in the circle, but he has never seen such a strange combination, so he had to change the topic: "Just in time, the female lead is here, let's talk about movies."
"Female lead?" Qi Geer was surprised, "We haven't decided on an actor yet. My films have always been starring Mengsi, and this one is the same."
"Xu Mengsi can't do it!" Ban Wu has been a mentor for more than two months, and he has authority over Brother Qi. He said directly: "Your greatest strengths are composition and rhythm, and your imagination is also good. Put an actor who looks like a mask in front of you." Inside, the whole has been downgraded. Your movie is bad, and the actors are the biggest problem. Mengsi!" Ban Wu called Xu Mengsi vigorously
Come on, "You take off all your makeup."
Makeup remover?The whole set was shaken.From the day they met Xu Mengsi, no one had ever seen her without makeup. Everyone had already tacitly agreed that what she had on her face was not makeup, but another layer of skin, which would die if peeled off.
Xu Mengsi was silent for a while, then nodded, and walked into the dressing room.
Tong Yiru smiled and said: "Sister Mengsi and Brother Qi are a pair of gold-lettered signboards, how can they be separated? I don't compete for rankings. I will act in whatever the director thinks I am suitable for."
"This is the demeanor of a good actor!" Ban Wu praised, "Whoever is suitable will win, there are so many rules."
Brother Qi moved his mouth, but didn't know what to say.There was nothing wrong with what the two said, and he couldn't refute it. Facing Tong Yiru, he felt indescribably awkward.
Xu Mengsi took off her makeup, her long curly hair was hastily tied into a ponytail, and she walked over in stiletto shoes.Tong Yiru smiled: "Sister Mengsi, you have a really good foundation, you look more delicate without makeup." She moved closer to Xu Mengsi, touched her face, "Let me help you remove all the foundation, ordinary men are not as good as you." It’s hard to tell if a woman has makeup on or not.”
Xu Mengsi was so embarrassed that she had to let Tong Yiru gesticulate on her face to wipe off the last layer of powder.She has reached the age when it is difficult to cover up with foundation, her face is severely pigmented, and her face, which is overly tense due to injections, is swollen and uneven, with a shiny shine, looking like a doll that has been abandoned for a long time.
Everyone else was embarrassed by Xu Mengsi, but Ban Wu clapped his hands: "This is the right state! It's not that Mengsi has no acting skills, it's not suitable to play the heroine, and it will definitely be much more comfortable to play the role of an elder. Brother Qi, what do you think?" Woolen cloth?"
"She was the protagonist on the first day here..." Brother Qi just started to speak for Mengsi, but Mengsi interrupted him: "The class director is right, actors should adapt to various roles, play mother, grandma, Aunt and aunt are fine, brother Qi, you can watch the distribution."
Brother Qi was quite upset. He could listen to Ban Wu for professional decision-making, but Xu Mengsi followed him without complaint at Weishi, which for him had surpassed "professional issues".Brother Qi didn't think that Mengsi was inappropriate, let alone that she was old and ugly, but felt that his territory had been trampled a few times.
Xu Mengsi gave him a few comforting winks, and then smiled lightly: "The editor-in-chief is here, and I have ice cream again today."
Cheng Tianlu greeted Tong Yiru as he approached, and when he saw Tong Yiru, he was slightly taken aback: "Hey, a big star is here to visit."
Tong Yiru had a grudge in his heart, and was a little afraid of him. He smiled, but his eyes were hard.Cheng Tianlu approached her, "I don't want to see me, don't, we are still friends after breaking up."
Tong Yiru gave him a hard look. Why didn't you think he was so annoying before?
Cheng Tianlu ignored her, looked at Ban Wu, and then at Brother Qi, "The two directors are sitting here so calmly, they must have not turned on their phones for a long time."
"What happened?"
Cheng Tianlu looked helpless, "The last time Brother Qi and I went to the Lama Temple, we must have been not sincere enough, and we were afraid of something. Class director, you sent two screenwriters to a village in the southwest to collect materials. It's been almost three months." , These two people are missing, and they can't be contacted. Your coordinator called the police, and the news leaked out within a few hours, and now rumors are flying around the Internet. Our film has gone out of the circle again."
Ban Wu hurriedly took out his silent phone from his bag, hundreds of missed calls and messages were draining the battery.Brother Qi also has a lot of missed calls on his mobile phone, most of which are from Uncle Hai.
He and Cheng Tianlu looked at each other.All day long, Tianlu thought that this project would be endless, so he shouldn't continue; what Qi Geer thought was, "Have those two people discovered anything? Uncle Hai is right, there is something tricky in this village!"
