Chapter 54
Song Xiang finished brushing up the sense of presence with Director Meng, and boarded the bus with Zongfan. Song Xiang's assistant had already put the boxed lunches and things from the studio on the bus. The bus does not have air conditioning this season, so it is really cold Yes, but both of them were dressed thickly and wrapped around a small blanket, so they didn't feel cold at all.
The boxed lunches of the film crew are just like that. For an actor like Song Xiang, the standard is four dishes and one meal. It can't be said to be very delicious, but it can fill you up.
Song Xiang may have eaten too many boxed lunches, and now he is more concerned about the food that Zongfan brought him, so Zongfan asked him to rummage through his bag to find what he wanted to eat.
Eating boxed lunch outside, it got cold very quickly, and Zong Fan was hungry, so he quickly filled his stomach while the food was still cold, and the two of them didn't say a few words the whole time, probably because Song Xiang was concerned about Aunt Zhen's recent situation and knew His mother was as usual, so he was relieved.
When Zong Fan was full, the two held a cup of coffee each, while Song Xiang was still eating snacks, as if he had lost money in his previous life.
Zongfan took the opportunity to take a few photos of him.
Song Xiang looked at him puzzled, and silently asked him why he was taking pictures.
After drinking the warm coffee, Zongfan breathed out comfortably: "Aunt Zhen cares about you, and I'm afraid that you won't tell the truth every time you call back. I promise her to take some photos of you when I go back. She sees how you are." Look good, and you can rest assured."
Song Xiang hesitated to speak.
Zongfan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I took a big picture of your face, you won't look thinner."
Song Xiang smiled awkwardly, and said, "I didn't hide it from her on purpose, I just said it out because I was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep well. Besides, I'm a small character in a place like the crew, and I can't get the best treatment. It's normal for others to dislike me or something."
"I understand." It's not that Zongfan doesn't understand the world, nor is he naive and enthusiastic. The word "fairness" has always been just a beautiful yearning for people, and it does not really exist.Especially in the world of adults, it is very good to be able to pursue a relative fairness, "Tell me, I will just listen to gossip. There are no outsiders here. You have been aggrieved for so many days, complaining It's good for a while."
Song Xiang smiled, looking naive and a little cute: "Actually, there are only so many things. Anyway, I still have Brother Li to take care of me, which is not bad compared to others. I have been an assistant for so many years, and seeing There are a lot of things, and there are many more serious influencers than this crew. I don't care much about others' jealousy and disdain for me. After all, compared with theirs, my opportunities are indeed very good. Others are jealous That's normal too."
Song Xiang's mentality is good. If he insists on haggling and insists on explaining everything, it will be difficult to survive in the crew.But one size counts, forbearance does not mean leaving an impression of being bullied, so Zong Fan said: "You don't always have to be kind, your kindness is appreciated by others, that is mutual respect, and if others don't appreciate it, just respect each other. You will think you are a fool. Sometimes being kind is the most unnecessary thing. Not everyone is reasonable, nor can you be reasonable with everyone. It is not wrong for you to be kind, but if the other party takes the opportunity If you put your nose on your face, no matter how nice you are, it will not do you any good. You have to learn to suppress people appropriately, so that those forces can’t look up, so that they can serve as an example to others, so that this kind of thing can be prevented from happening to you again in the future. happened to me."
At first glance, what Zongfan teaches Song Xiang seems to be not a good thing. The word "forbearance" in traditional virtues means patience and kindness.But having said that, in an ecological environment of the law of the jungle, patience is not a virtue, but a shortcut to killing oneself, but anyone with a normal mind knows that it is not feasible.
Song Xiang was silent for a while, and said, "I also don't want to cause trouble to Brother Li and the studio."
Zong Fan smiled and said, "Whether it's Brother Li or the studio, isn't it all about dealing with these troubles? Besides, it's not for you to bully others for no reason, it's just to tell you not to wrong yourself too much. You said that if it's you The filming is not good, always NG, wasting everyone's time, being scolded by the director, despised by other actors, and disdainful by the opponent actors. A few sentences are normal, if you are wrong, just bear it. But if you shoot well, we will not accept the rest of the anger."
Song Xiang smiled, feeling that what Zong Fan said made sense.It may be that he has been working as an assistant for a long time, always thinking about being kind to others, and offending others as little as possible, which led to the fact that the treatment given to him in the crew is getting worse day by day.
Zongfan kicked his shoes: "Fei Xingfeng signed an artist contract with you, which affirmed your ability. You are out now, representing not only yourself, but also the studio, Fei Xingfeng. It makes people bully , have you asked Fei Xingfeng what he meant? If he didn't want to stand up for you, we wouldn't come this trip; if you can stand here by yourself, we don't need to come either. "
Song Xiang lowered his head in shame, not knowing what to say for a moment.
At this time, the field manager got on the bus and told them to leave a lounge for them to come out and let them chat in the lounge.
Zongfan smiled on the surface, and said a few words to MMP in his heart to deal with the field management. On the surface, he politely said that the other party had worked hard and caused trouble for the other party. A lot of work.In fact, the words are saying, what did you do long ago?How many machines are shooting in your crew at the same time, and how many directors are working. I think there are only one machine and one location for filming. How many actors can be counted at the same time, and there is no room for a lounge. Who are you kidding?
He didn't care about the field affairs, nodded and said a few polite words, and then hurried away.
Zong Fan smiled and said to Song Xiang: "I know you feel that you have offended the field manager, and the field manager may trip you up, but you have to understand that Fei Xingfeng's studio is behind you, and the studio has not given up on you. As long as Fei Xingfeng can stand in this circle, he won't dare to do anything to you."
Song Xiang suddenly realized, as if things were not as complicated as he imagined.
Zongfan packed his bag and said: "If you bear with it, the staff who follow you will be wronged. Without a good working environment, you are a weak and weak boss, and the staff will lose motivation. This is a vicious Cycle. As an actor, when the studio is not bad, the resources are not bad, and the appearance is not bad, the most important thing to do is to improve your acting skills, and everything else is superfluous.”
This statement sounds one-sided, but it is true. "Little reds depend on praise, big reds depend on their lives." That's true, but if you can't fundamentally grasp the acting skills, no matter how popular you are, it will only be a flash in the pan, and you may even become famous again. If there is no "present", it has already become rotten.
"Like the lounge, you should have your own lounge, even if it's shared with another actor, then you should have it, instead of standing at the door and waiting for us to come like today. It's not nice to say Yes, you don't have a scene to shoot every day, so when you come, shouldn't it be right for you to have a rest room for makeup and drinking water?" Zong Fan felt that he was really earnest, "Brother Li can indeed help you Fight, demand, but if you are always 'casual' and 'don't argue with them for me', then others will take advantage of this and keep bullying you. Good temper is not a shortcoming, but good temper is good for everyone It's deadly."
Song Xiang suddenly became enlightened, nodded and said: "I understand."
Zongfan doesn't like to listen to what he says, but whether he can stand up in the future depends on how he does it.
Zongfan put on his bag, took his coffee, and said, "Go, go to your lounge and wait, this bus is too cold."
"Hey!" Song responded, walking in front to lead the way for Zongfan.
Along the way, the most indispensable thing is to look at Zongfan's people. Anyone who has watched Zongfan's identity knows what he is after watching the show, but it's up to them to classify his relationship with Fei Xingfeng.Zongfan looked like "I like to see, I'm very fashionable, I'm full of famous brands, and I like to do whatever I want", without squinting, it doesn't look like I'm here to visit the class, more like I'm here to inspect the work.But he didn't use his status to suppress others, and he didn't say a word, so others couldn't say anything about him.
After entering the lounge, the electric heater was already on. The room was not very warm, but it was much better than that on the bus.
Zongfan gave Assistant Song Xiang a few packs of snacks and asked him to help guard the gate, while he and Song Xiang continued to chat.There are still two hours before work starts in the afternoon, and they can talk a lot.
Zong Fan didn't teach Song Xiang any more, but asked him if he had made any progress in filming.
Speaking of this, Song Xiang is obviously more confident than before joining the group, but he doesn't mean to be proud. To be honest: "Meng Meng said that I have improved a lot. At the beginning, although I practiced many times, I really took pictures. , the lines can be spoken, but the performance is very stiff. The mentor is very good, and he guides me patiently. After the first scene, my overall state has improved a lot, and the shooting has become smoother and smoother. .”
Unsurprisingly, acting is similar to speech. It’s not that anyone can speak better than anyone else. It’s just that people with more experience must be more confident on stage than those with no experience. They know how to present themselves better, and the effect is better. good.
"That's good. Let's not ask how wonderful the performance is, at least it doesn't pull the hips, it's good. Accumulating experience is more important."
"Well, Brother Li said the same thing."
The two chatted about some interesting things during the filming, as well as some gossip that was not nutritious. After a while, Li Qianlong came over after finishing his busy work.
Seeing Zongfan, he smiled and said, "Miss Boss, our boss is no longer single, shouldn't we give out some bonuses to celebrate?"
Regarding Li Qianlong's love of saving and saving money, Fei Xingfeng mentioned it to Zongfan, and Zongfan thought it was very interesting. Spending where you should spend, saving where you should be, is the correct attitude towards life that modern social animals should have .Only when you have enough savings, can you have the confidence to gamble for a more brilliant future, or when you want to change the status quo, you can have the confidence to make changes, instead of holding on to "after I have money", this kind of waiting idea.
"We don't have money to celebrate. After all, your boss is not filming now. Why don't you raise some money and buy us some gifts, and it's a celebration." Zong Fan said shamelessly.
Li Qianlong looked at Zongfan in astonishment: "In terms of thick skin, the proprietress is really better."
Zongfan chuckled: "If you don't have this ability, you won't be able to get your boss." Zongfan doesn't mind people thinking that he is the one who chased Fei Xingfeng.
Li Qianlong gave a thumbs up, respect spontaneously, and at the same time began to wonder if Zongfan had a problem with his aesthetics, why did he fall in love with their boss?Their boss is good-looking, but his personality is really not an advantage.
Four or 10 minutes before the start of work in the afternoon, the makeup artist came over to put on Song Xiang's makeup. Today, Song Xiang's scene is not too heavy, it's basically a cutscene.
"This is a scene between you and Shen Maung. His acting skills can't hold you back now, so you can just go through the motions." Li Qianlong said to Song Xiang.
"Yeah, I know." His scenes weren't important in the first place, a few important ones had been filmed before, and the rest wasn't a big problem for him.
Zong Fan looked at the clothes Song Xiang was going to wear today, it was a coat of a certain brand, and it looked good. He told the stylist who came to the team that it was borrowed, because it was not the season's style, but it was not expensive, and it was a good deal.
Zongfan suddenly asked, "Where is the bus driver?"
When Li Qianlong came over, he saw that the other party had already finished eating and got into the car.
Zongfan nodded: "Wait a minute, I'll go get something."
Zong Fan went to the bus, asked the driver to help open the luggage compartment, dragged his small suitcase back to the lounge, and then dug out a luxury coat that was only released this season: "Come on, Wear this."
This dress is better than the one borrowed by the crew, and it can better highlight the character's temperament.
Li Qianlong knew the brand of the clothes when he saw them. He had only seen the clothes in the store's brochures, but there were no finished products at that time, only photos.
"What brand is this? The material looks very expensive." Song Xiang liked this dress very much, but seeing that Zongfan took it out of the box again, he thought it was Zongfan's new clothes.
Li Qianlong turned over the label and showed it to him. When Song Xiang saw those letters, he automatically converted them into money.
Zongfan said to Song Xiang: "It's for you. To be precise, Xingfeng gave it to you."
Song Xiang opened his mouth wide, why did he return such expensive clothes to himself?
Zongfan explained: "Your studio ordered this suit late, and there is no Xingfeng's size, but there is a size that you can wear. Xingfeng approved it, saying that I will give it to you directly when I buy it, and celebrate the completion of your new play in advance. You can also have a suitable dress to wear when you need it in the future.”
Li Qianlong handed the clothes to Song Xiang, this size is indeed not big, not to mention that Fei Xingfeng can't wear it, even he can barely wear it, Song Xiang wears it just right.
Song Xiang was so moved that he held onto the clothes and did not let go: "Brother Fan, the boss is so kind! I can work for him for the rest of my life!"
Zongfan looked contemptuous: "Just because of this dress?"
Song Xiang also said honestly: "For more things in the future!"
Zongfan laughed, what could he say?That's it.
Everything was ready, someone called from the crew.
Out of curiosity, Zong Fan followed suit.
Director Meng called Song Xiang and another actor over to tell them where to go and where to go.
Looking around, isn't the other actor the one who "bah" Song Xiang's jealousy?
Tilting his head, Zongfan asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, is that Shen Maung?"
Surrounded by his own people, Li Qianlong reassuredly said to Zongfan: "Yes."
"Did he have a feud with Song Xiang?"
"Not at all. He has an actor with a good relationship with him in the company. He was originally fighting for the role of Song Xiang, but he was cut off by Song Xiang. He only got a small role with few scenes. He's an artist in his early years, so he can't get along with Song Xiang everywhere, and he's the second male, so he doesn't care too much about it." Li Qianlong is also unhappy, but Song Xiang's role is indeed not as important as Shen Maang's, and his acting skills are currently on par. , since there is no way to make Director Meng lean towards Song Xiang, it's better not to make too much trouble.
Zongfan nodded. An actor would bully a newcomer because of such a trivial matter, and other actors and staff members of the production team would follow suit. No matter how powerful Li Qianlong is, Song Xiang can be bullied if he is not famous. This kind of private There is no evidence to be found, so there are naturally some people who are willing to sell Shen Maung's face.
"Director, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for Song Xiang to wear this outfit?" Shen Mao squinted at Song Xiang, with a mocking sneer at the corner of his mouth, as if mocking the ugly duckling for insisting on pretending to be a white swan.
