Brother Hua..."
Assistant: "Why bother with them? You are the greatest teacher in our crew."
"They're just a little famous, and they're probably trying to curry favor with other big names to see if they can become famous..."
Brother Hua: "Then why don't you flatter me..."
Assistant: "This…this…"
What else could it be? He must think your level is not high enough, but of course he can't say that.
But how could Brother Hua not see that he was even angrier inside, he stood up and walked straight to the director.
The director nodded when he saw the other party coming over: "Teacher Hua, it's a good opportunity for you to come over and take a look at the footage we just shot. Is there anything we can improve?"
Brother Hua: "Director, I'm the only one watching?"
The director looked up at Brother Hua: "What do you mean?"
Hua Ge: "Filming is everyone's business. It can't just be me, the male lead, who has to watch. If the female lead and the second female lead aren't there, we won't be able to communicate in time even if there are any problems."
After hearing this, the director guessed what the other party was thinking.
Sure enough, Brother Hua continued, "Director, I'm not saying you're too relaxed with Su Yuning and Yin Yue. Whenever there's a break in filming, you go out for a stroll instead of coming to listen to your talk about the scenes. You hang out with other crews every day, treating them to milk tea and chatting with them. Those who know you think you're filming them, while those who don't think you're filming another director's scenes."
They shifted the conflict onto the director, and their words and actions clearly implied that the two of them looked down on the director.
This was the art of language that he was good at. The most important thing in the entertainment industry was to be able to swerve. There was no need for him to argue with the two actresses. He only needed to say a few bad words in front of the director to make the director dissatisfied with them.
The second male lead nodded when he heard what Brother Hua said. He also felt that Su Yuning and the others had gone too far.
Just when the two thought the director would be angry, they found that the director's expression was unusual.
Not anger!
But...helpless!
Brother Hua: "Director...you..."
Director: "I know what you mean. But some things can't be judged by appearance alone."
Hua Ge: "What do you mean?"
Director: "Don't you realize how rushed our production was?"
Brother Hua: "Ah… a little bit!"
When he first received the script, he found that the time was very tight, so he went to Hengdian to start filming immediately after signing the contract.
Director: "Haven't you noticed that there aren't any overly intimate scenes in this drama, not even any kissing scenes? Is that normal in today's TV dramas?"
Brother Hua: .....
He also noticed that there were no kissing scenes in the drama, which was very unusual in 2011. During this period, Chinese-language TV dramas were influenced by foreign countries and became more bold.
Kissing scenes have become standard!
There are countless TV dramas that are even more daring.
Compared with those TV dramas, what they shoot is simply a clean drama, with only the plot being very pure.
Is this normal? It's very abnormal!
It stands to reason that even if the screenwriter writes the plot very simply, the director will add a kissing scene on the spur of the moment.
However, the director of this drama not only did not add any intimate scenes, but was extremely indulgent towards the two female protagonists.
this...
Obviously there is something going on?
Hua Ge's eyes narrowed slightly. As someone who's been filming for years, he naturally thought of something and blurted out, "Investors? You're saying there are investors behind them? Is this another show to hype people up? The whole show is made for them."
The director nodded: "Yes!"
Brother Hua: ...
No wonder! He said the director was so indulgent towards him because of this...
Investors have a very high status in the film and television industry. After all, they are the financial backers. No matter what era, whoever gives money is the boss. But even though he understands this, Brother Hua still feels uncomfortable.
"snort..."
Brother Hua: "You think everything will go smoothly just because you have a financial sponsor. In the film and television industry, what counts is always the acting skills and fate. It's hard to make it with money alone."
"Such an unprofessional person will never rise to the top and will be able to quit the entertainment industry in a few years."
He looked at the second male lead angrily and said:
"Don't you think so?"
Second male:...
What does this have to do with me? Why are you bringing me up here? I can't afford to offend you, but I can afford to offend my investors. I can only grumble and keep silent.
"Okay…"
The director spoke again: "Teacher Hua, you can complain to me but please don't complain to anyone else."
Brother Hua: "Humph, I'm not complaining..."
Director: "I'm not reminding you, I'm warning you."
Brother Hua: "What do you mean? Investors are so awesome that I can't even say a few fair words."
The director looked around and said, "Keep your voice down."
Seeing the director's expression was off, Hua Ge was startled and whispered, "What's wrong?"
What's wrong?
Director: "What's going on? Except for a few people, the executive director, assistant director, crew, and stagehands... all of this crew is from Starlight Entertainment. Su Yuning and Yin Yue are also from the same company, right?"
Brother Hua: "So what?"
"You scared me! What are they going to do if they hear about me? Complain? Ban me! I, Ah Hua, haven't been in the entertainment industry for so many years for nothing. What's Starlight Entertainment? What can an entertainment company I've never heard of do to me..."
He is not pretending but really has the confidence. He is signed to a large entertainment group and doesn't care about the small company Starlight Entertainment. If he is not in a low period and the script of this drama is not very good, he would not participate in the filming at all.
Ban him!
Starlight Entertainment can't do it!
Director: "Starlight Entertainment is nothing? But there is a group above Starlight Entertainment: Black Dragon Group!"
Brother Hua was stunned: "Black Dragon Group? I've never heard of it? Is there such a group in the entertainment industry?"
Director: "Not from the entertainment industry..."
Brother Hua: "If it's not the entertainment industry, what are you afraid of? What? A listed company? They have a lot of power."
"What? Black Dragon Group?"
The second male lead exclaimed.
Swish! Swish!
The director and Brother Hua both admired him.
Brother Hua: "Why are you so startled? You know this group."
The second male lead nodded: "I know, it's a group in Northern Province. My family is from Northern Province."
Brother Hua: "Is he famous?"
The second male lead nodded. "Very famous." He looked around, checking no one was paying attention, and then whispered, "The Black Dragon Group is one of the largest conglomerates in Northern Province. Although it's only been established for about two years, it's already valued in the billions. It owns a milk tea brand, a night market, an entertainment company, a commercial complex, and so on."
Brother Hua's expression did not change. Such large groups were quite powerful and not rare, so they were not something that scared him.
The second male lead said, "That's nothing. The most important thing is that the Black Dragon Group is still a social group. The chairman of the Black Dragon Group, Qin Jiang, is known as the Black Dragon of the North, Chen Jianglong. He is the top social boss in the northern province. Countless people who offended him were killed by Chen Jiang. That guy is so cruel..." He said a lot of legends about the Black Dragon, which stunned Brother Hua and even the director.
Brother Hua: "Is Qin Jiang so awesome? So ruthless? He's only in his early twenties... Wait."
He suddenly looked at the director and pointed in the direction Su Yuning and Yin Yue left, as if asking something.
The director nodded.
Hua Ge: (屮゜Д゜)屮
