"Oh, yes, final exams. Fortunately, I have graduated four years ago and don't have to worry about these anymore, ha!"
Since Hu Jing didn't know what was going on in Jiang Xiao's mind, she smiled and turned to ask again: "By the way, Junior Brother Jiang Xiao, when you come back from the capital, can you help me with something?"
"Bring something? What do you want to bring? Senior sister, please tell me."
For such a trivial matter, Jiang Xiao naturally would not refuse, and immediately nodded in agreement, not knowing what exactly Hu Jing wanted him to bring.
"Just the pickles, Liubij's pickles. As you know, the food on this crew is really mediocre, so I just want to make some pickles myself."
Without much hesitation, Hu Jing quickly explained her request in full.
"Oh, pickles, okay, no problem. Senior sister, which kind do you want and how many bottles do you want?"
In my memory, I have lived in the capital for many years, so Jiang Xiao naturally knows Liubij's pickles.
It first appeared during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of nearly 500 years. It is still a must-have side dish at state banquets.
There are various flavors, mainly sweet and salty, such as eight-treasure melon, eight-treasure vegetables, ginger sprouts, nectar, black vegetables, cucumber, sugar garlic, etc.
However, he himself doesn't really like sweet and salty things. He can completely tolerate the two flavors separately, but he really can't tolerate them when mixed together, which is considered a personal taboo.
"Give me two bottles. I estimate this scene will take two or three months to film, so I can have a change of taste."
Hu Jing, who planned to fight the war for a long time, directly placed a "big order".
"Sure, get two bottles of each and bring them back to Senior Sister to ensure the successful completion of the mission."
"Thank you then. I'll give you the money later. I don't have any money with me now."
"Do you want to pay me back? Otherwise, just be my junior brother and I will honor you, senior sister."
Liubij's pickles are actually not expensive, nor are they luxury goods or high-end food. They are just a side dish on ordinary people's dinner tables, so Jiang Xiao does not intend to charge money.
"No, no matter how much it is, junior brother, if you don't charge me, how can I have the nerve to ask you to help me? Things must be settled one by one."
Hu Jing does not want to take advantage of others for no reason. As she said, it is not about money.
"Okay, listen to senior sister."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao didn't insist on anything more.
"No, that's right. Hey, Junior Brother Jiang Xiao, I want to tell you something quietly. Do you know that the actor originally appointed for your role is Nortel's Jia Naisheng?"
"Really? I really don't know this. No wonder I feel like he has a problem with me. So that's what happened."
When he saw Hu Jing, who was leaning close to his ear, suddenly whispering such a piece of news, Jiang Xiao felt a sudden realization.
Women's gossip attributes are indeed stronger, and they feel like they have figured out everything clearly.
That's right, a place like the production crew is meant to be closed off. When the show gets boring, people don't like to chat with each other about gossip.
"Yes, do you have any objections? After all, your role is considered the third male lead, and you have more roles than others."
Hu Jing, who felt deeply in agreement, also analyzed everything comprehensively.
At the end, she did not forget to add: "But senior sister is on your side. There is no reason why we are all in the drama."
"Besides, Jia Naisheng actually took over the role of Yang Qilang, so don't blame anyone."
"He is also a replacement. So who was the actor who was originally going to play Yang Qilang? Senior sister, do you know?"
Jiang Xiao was a little curious when he heard that there was another "unlucky guy".
As for offending others, he didn't care at all. In the future, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris would be burned down, and he didn't have the guilt of the Virgin Mary. He felt that he would do whatever he wanted to do if he took over the role that originally belonged to someone else.
The world is like this, there are only so many resources, everyone has to grab them, and there will always be a loser.
In his memory, he was a complete loser, but now, Jiang Xiao definitely wants to be a winner, and he must be a big winner.
"I don't know about this either. I heard that he seems to be a newcomer."
Shaking her head slightly, Hu Jing finally didn't give a reason.
"Forget it, hey, senior sister..."
Jiang Xiao, who didn't get the answer, didn't have the entanglement of not being able to sleep until he figured it out, so he quickly changed the topic of chatting.
…………
"Ka, Jiang Xiao, what's going on with you? Can't you dance more gently?"
Behind the monitor, watching Jiang Xiao break another prop spear in the camera, director Liang Delong was a little confused about what to say.
This actor, who was pushed by Su Youpeng, has excellent acting skills and good looks. He is handsome.
It's even as if you have practiced martial arts. No matter what movement, the martial arts fingers only need to be taught once and can be easily copied.
His ability to comprehend can be described as abnormal. An actor like this who saves trouble is definitely very popular among martial artists.
But the biggest problem with the other party is that they often break the props after entering the scene.
It's okay to say once or twice, but after more than half a month of shooting, I'm afraid there are already more than two hands, which is really a bit dumbfounding.
"I'm sorry, director, I didn't hold back too much."
Jiang Xiao, who was wearing leather armor and holding a spear without a tip in his hand, had no choice but to apologize immediately after hearing the director's shout.
In fact, he himself felt a little helpless because he was not very skilled yet, so sometimes he couldn't control it 100%.
As for why he is not very proficient, it has to do with the new ability he obtained from the black pot. After two months of cultivation, he finally gained an ability called "Basic Combat".
For example, when he skated with Yang Mi last time, he was able to learn so quickly. It was also because of his "elementary fighting" ability that he greatly strengthened his control over his body.
If you ask what this "junior fighting" is all about, it's probably like a set of fighting movements and moves that appeared in his memory like an enlightenment.
As long as you practice a hundred times, you can truly learn these fighting moves, which is really amazing.
Of course, all the abilities given by the Black Cauldron are magical and completely break all conventions and cognitions.
In addition, Jiang Xiao also gained three new eyes again, namely affectionate, fierce, and cheerful. Each time took ten days, which seemed to be three more days than the previous seven days.
In addition, it must be said that the quality of the spear props is really inferior. This is the case in domestic film and television dramas, which always control costs in places that should not be saved.
To be honest, there are too many things I want to complain about in the TV series "The Tigers of the Yang Family".
Taking clothing as an example, the styling is basically based on whether it looks good or not, and does not consider the actual clothing style of the Song Dynasty at all.
This is really a common problem in the industry. For example, Li Rengang's flying saucer hat is completely an obsession that the other party can never let go of. It was the same in the Three Kingdoms and the Tang Dynasty.
"Forget it, forget it, you better hold back. If it doesn't work, just slow down the action a little. Don't pursue it in one go. This can also be done through post-editing to create the desired effect."
After thinking about it for a while, Liang Delong could only adopt this method which was not a solution.
I don’t know if he is the first director to ask actors to stop acting in such a good role.
"Okay director, I get it!"
Just do whatever the director tells you to do. As a newcomer, Jiang Xiao naturally doesn’t have much bargaining power.
…………
A few days later, Beijing.
