Chapter 20.

"He said that he would come to read the script together and would not be absent because he didn't live together. Of course, his conditions must be much better. I want to hold his thighs, so I'll go and live there too. (Novel ggdown.coM)"

Zhuang Qin: “…”

Guo Baozhen explained: "Just that's what I said, the crew is here, and I can't be special, but you can. After you have finished filming, you'll have a good relationship, so just live with him. You have too many rivalries and you have to play against each other frequently."

Zhuang Qin smiled without saying a word.

He wants to hug his thighs, so it doesn’t hurt to get along well, but he doesn’t have to stick too tightly, which is just annoying.

Director Guo took him down to have dinner: "Dinner is a buffet. Mr. Qiu was afraid that the actors of our crew would not get used to it, so he asked a few chefs to come here and have to eat Chinese food in the next few days. When the crew starts up, they will send lunch boxes to the staff every day. This is a restaurant, there is an indoor and an outdoor, and breakfast and dinner are all here." He pointed.

There were about fifty or sixty people from various departments of the crew, all of which were professional teams found by Qiu Ming. There were two people living in some rooms together, and a few were empty for other actors who had not yet joined the group.

"This is the assistant director, Director Zhou."

"Hello." Zhuang Qin looked at the middle-aged assistant director with half-bare hair and felt familiar, but Director Guo did not mention his name, and he didn't remember it either.

"This is Teacher Lin Song, who plays Hei-Bang in the play."

"This one is..."

Everyone is very enthusiastic about Zhuang Qin, and he is a little careful friendliness. He is the biggest player in this crew.

Zhuang Qin recognized everyone in the crew one by one, and Xiao Lian silently wrote down everyone's names.

At night, Zhuang Qin fell asleep in a strange country and a strange environment. I don’t know if I was recognizing the bed or being too excited, so I struggled until midnight before falling asleep.

The next day, I got up and got familiar with the surrounding environment. When I walked out, I was just the way. Director Guo introduced: "The set is very close, and it is only fifteen minutes to walk by. It is very small here. If you walk to the beach, it will take forty minutes."

He took Zhuang Qin into the main set of the play, Encore's home, for a while: "It has not been fully arranged yet, and some things are still missing."

This is a small building with two floors, and the street is next to it. Even the grocery store has restored the script. It was rented next to it and used as a powder room and a warehouse where photography equipment is stacked.

Just the early arrangements, the hotel rent for a few months was spent in a few million.

Guo Baozhen asked: "By the way, do you want to go out for a walk in the afternoon or rest in the hotel? You can read the script in the evening."

"I'll go for a walk," said Zhuang Qin.

"First time in Thailand?"

"Yeah, the first time."

"That's a good time to stroll around, there are a lot of delicious food, but I can't accompany you."

"It's okay, Xiao Lian is with me." When you come to a strange place to film or a foreign country, you are the first to be integrated into the local environment.

The appearance, accent, dress, the appearance of the city, everything is closely related to his performance.

And when shopping, you can buy some items that can be used as props.

Although he was in a non-tourist city, Zhuang Qin did not dare to take risks and covered his way out with his arms. As a result, he spent the afternoon shopping and bought some gadgets, and spent the rest of his time eating.

At 6 pm, Director Guo reminded in the group that he would start reading the script at 7 o'clock, and Zhuang Qin returned to the hotel with fresh coconut greens.

"I'm back? It's just half an hour before we start reading the script. Have you had dinner?"

"I've eaten outside." He said he went to take a shower. After fifteen minutes, he changed his clothes and went downstairs. He saw several actors sitting in the leisure seat next to the swimming pool. Several chairs formed a circle. Although this kind of reading atmosphere was a bit formal enough, it was very relaxing.

Li Mu is here too.

Except for the two protagonists in "Hide Heart", the other two are middle-aged and elderly actors. Among the people, Li Mu is simply a fairy-like spirit.

This time he was dressed casually, with short-sleeved trousers, sitting with the others, with a slightly lazy posture, and leaning back relaxedly because he sat on the edge, his long legs were stretched, his thighs were slightly apart, and his hands were holding the script.

When he didn't speak, he had a very amazing aura. The glimmer of light swept across his handsome side face. Zhuang Qin had seen many beauties in the circle, including all kinds of types, but Li Mu's like this is really unique. He is a completely 360-degree movie face without blind spots, without picking angles.

Zhuang Qin looked over and the two of them were in contact with each other. He nodded, saying hello.

Qiu Ming was lying leisurely on the leisure lounge chair under the umbrella and drinking beer, as if he was here to watch.

"Okay, everyone is here. Although everyone has information about the crew, we will introduce it again and then start reading."

Zhuang Qin saw the empty seat and sat down. The chair was a rattan chair and placed two cushions. He leaned against it and heard Director Guo say, "Then let's go clockwise, start with me first. I am Guo Baozhen, the director and one of the screenwriters of "Hidden Heart", and the other screenwriter is my friend. I haven't come here today, so I will introduce it next time."

After he finished speaking, it was the assistant director's turn: "I am Zhou Yanwen, and I have been in the industry for more than 20 years."

When Zhuang Qin heard the name, he remembered the name of Director Zhou.

I have been filming commercial films for more than 20 years and have a lot of experience. How did I come to their crew as the deputy director?

After the introduction, the reading starts. Zhuang Qin took a notebook and the main purpose of reading was to change the unreasonable and uneven lines.

There are only a few actors reading around, and most of the previous lines are from Li Mu and Zhuang Qin.

There was also a circle of people from various departments around the crew. Zhuang Qin was a little embarrassed at first, but soon showed a professional attitude.

As soon as he spoke, everyone around him was surprised.

The young handsome guy has such a good line skills?!

I watched his TV series before, and I thought his lines were not very good, but the original sound was so powerful. As soon as I spoke, I immediately felt the taste.

He is indeed a professional.

Zhuang Qin had already spoken lines with Li Mu once that day. This was the second time. Their dialogue was very skillful and smooth, and both of them were immersed in the role. Li Mu, a newcomer who had never met before, surprised everyone around him.

After joining the group, there were constant rumors. It was no secret that Li Mu brought the capital to the group. He had invested tens of millions of dollars to Director Guo. Who knew that when he saw him, he was a handsome and handsome person who was in the circle. He was as handsome as a noble young man with a temperament like a noble family. He spoke very little, had a polite tone, and spoke very well. He didn't look like an actor who brought the capital to the group at all.

Of course, everyone is a professional actor, and he is surprised but not on his face.

Zhuang Qin had too many lines, and he was too focused, and he was tense and sweating all the time. Xiao Lian went to get a fan and blew it at him.

The wind that was driving to the maximum gear blew his black hair. When he said something unpleasant, Zhuang Qin stopped and Director Guo would propose to modify it: "This word needs to be changed."

When the lines at the end were a little ambiguous, Zhuang Qin suddenly felt like he was out of the show and got stuck several times. Director Guo flipped through the script behind: "Let's just stop here today."

At half past nine, Zhuang Qin's voice was a little hoarse.

"Tomorrow we will continue to read and get the rest of the script done. The day after tomorrow is the start-up ceremony, and then the makeup will be set. The 13th day will be officially started." After saying that, the crew members dispersed, and Guo Baozhen left Zhuang Qin and Li Mu alone: ​​"You two lines are quite smooth, are you right?"

Li Mu: "Yes."

Zhuang Qin: "I met once a few days ago."

Guo Baozhen fanned himself with the script: "I was afraid that you two would be embarrassed at first."

Zhuang Qin smiled: "I am an actor, this is my profession."

"Okay, professional enough." Guo Baozhen admired his tone, "But some parts are still a little stuck. I will draw out the part of your scene separately. We will be the three of us tomorrow afternoon, and the others will be together in the evening."

Zhuang Qin breathed a sigh of relief. He was nervous if there were too many people, but it would be much better if there were too few people.

"Thank you, Director Guo."

"fine."

Guo Baozhen turned to Li Mu: "You have too many scenes against each other. Filming officially starts on the 13th. We communicate more privately and get along more. The next day's scene, we must match each other on the first day. This is what I ask of you both, but you live so far..."

Li Mu replied: "I will be here in the future. I will go to bed and then go there at night. I will come in advance in the morning. Director Guo will rest assured."

Guo Baozhen nodded: "Since that's the case, I won't keep your room for you. If you two play against each other, find your own place."

There are still many things in the crew, and he is already busy. After talking to the leading actor, he goes to find a cameraman, then finds an art director, and explains one by one.

Late at night, the blue swimming pool reflected bright lights, the air was stuffy, and the electric fan was whispering. The two were sitting in their original position. Zhuang Qin was about to speak, but Qiu Ming squeezed in from the side and showed kindness to Zhuang Qin enthusiastically: "Teacher Zhuang, the lines are so good!"

Zhuang Qin's hand was suddenly held by him, and he was very uncomfortable. Thinking of the rumors about Mr. Qiu later, he subconsciously pulled his hand back - but Qiu Ming just held it and shook it, which was similar to the closeness of fans and quickly let go.

"I was watching next to you just now..." Before he could finish his words, Qiu Ming was pushed away by Li Mu.

Qiu Ming took a few steps back and looked at him.

"I have something to tell him, you go there."

"...Huh?" Qiu Ming looked at his cold eyebrows and shrank, "...Oh."

Qiu Ming left, but Li Mu didn't say anything. Zhuang Qin was a little puzzled. Has he been planning to say something for so long?

The two looked at each other silently for a moment.

Li Mudao: "I won't have a good time today. I will be right the night after tomorrow. Your voice is hoarse. Do you have throat lozenges?"

"I brought it," said Zhuang Qin, "Did you bring it? I still have a lot of it there."

Li Mu said he didn't bring it, Zhuang Qin: "Wait, I'll take it down for you."

"Give it to me tomorrow."

The two of them said good night briefly, and Zhuang Qin went upstairs to rest.

After the next day's reading, the script was revised and involved a very ambiguous part. Zhuang Qin was just a little slow and followed the lines smoothly.

Guo Baozhen thought he had good lines, so he didn't tell him the opera: "The direction is also right, and there are feelings, but it's not enough. Can the opera No. 13 be prepared?"

"Li Mu and I will check it in advance tomorrow night, it should be fine."

The makeup part is simpler. The movie focuses on texture. The makeup is generally enough to highlight the characteristics of the characters. The makeup artist didn't even put a base makeup on him, and swept a layer of contouring: "The camera will widen the person, and the character Enke will be thinner."

Zhuang Qin thought that he had eaten a lot in the past few days and had not practiced much, so he felt a little guilty.

There are disadvantages when staying in such a hotel. He can only stand upside down in the room. He can't do anything else, nor can he wake up early, which will make others disturb.
