Chapter 457

Li Mazi and I took the 3 a.m. train and went back to Wuhan.

The first thing to go back to Wuhan is to order a table of southern dishes in the restaurant. After all, we really don't love Northern dishes.

The next day Yin Xinyue came to the antique shop to see me. She smiled mysteriously at me and said that she wanted to ask me for help. I smiled and asked her if her friend didn't have eyes and what she shouldn't have?

She said no. a few days ago, their company invested in an ancient costume play, which is a martial arts blockbuster. It's about to be turned on, but the director is a real person. He doesn't think the props are restored enough, so he has to go back and do it again. The group leader of the props group is ready to go to the museum and invite experts to sit in the town. But there are hundreds of people in a theatre group. Even if the play is not filmed, there are various expenses. All the expenses are the money of the producer. I can't afford to delay it. I'm worried about Yin Xinyue's boss. She immediately thought of me and asked if I had borrowed two Ming Dynasty antiques for temporary use?

I thought for a moment and said, "I have some Ming Dynasty objects, but I collect all Yin things. If something happens to me when I'm in the crew, I can't bear it. "

"What can we do? The crew will have to eat and drink tens of thousands a day. That's not even the venue fee." Yin Yueyue said wrongly, "this stinky director is really annoying to me..."

I said: "by the way, look for Pockmarked Li. He should have a lot of antiques on his hand! What's more, does your crew pay rent for their antiques? "

Yin Xinyue nodded: "that's for sure. Public and private are private. I will never treat Pockmarked Li badly."

I immediately called Pockmarked Li and told him all about it. He was very excited to hear that he had money to earn, so he immediately agreed.

I went out to have a meal with Yin Xinyue. When I came back, Pockmarked Li had parked outside the shop with a pickup truck and asked me to help him move. The boxes were ancient swords, censers, jade pendants and cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty. I asked him why there were so many antiques in his home?

"They were all collected before, but they couldn't be sold all the time. Didn't they follow you? So these are left in the basement to eat ashes. " Li explained.

"If you don't do this one day, open an antique shop, and you'll have enough of these goods in your hand for a lifetime. It's very good." I said.

"What's the matter? 99% of them are fakes. I didn't have eyes at first." Said Pockmarked Li secretly in my ear.

Yin crescent roughly looked at it. Pockmarked Li asked her if she was enough, and if she was not enough, he pulled a few more boxes. Yin crescent said, "enough, in fact, it's not really for shooting, it's to be a model for the props group."

"What's the rent, sister-in-law?" Pockmarked Li is not ambiguous at all.

"I have to talk to the director face to face about it, but he's shooting in the mountains now. Let me run for you! Anyway, I'm now holding the title of supervisor. I'll run there every now and then. " Yin explained.

"Why don't we go to the cast and talk about it in person? Just to open my eyes, I've seen so many TV dramas, but I haven't seen them once. " Pockmarked Li winked at me.

I understood his meaning. A TV series was filmed for several months, and it was isolated from the world. In addition, there were more wolves and less meat in the drama group. It was a little uneasy for Yin Xinyue to go alone, so he echoed: "anyway, there is no business recently, so it's better to go and have a look."

Yin Xinyue winked at me playfully: "brother Zhang, are you worried that I'm under the rules?"

"No, no!" I quickly waved: "how can I think in that direction? I don't trust you."

"Don't worry about me? I'm so unattractive. " Yin crescent pouted.

"I don't mean that!"

Yin crescent immediately called the director, while at this time, Pockmarked Li said to me: "I heard that there are so many beauties in the cast, just to satisfy your eyes."

I looked at him contemptuously. I thought he was thinking about Yin Xinyue.

Yin Xinyue immediately began to book air tickets. In a small town in Handan, Hebei Province, she called a car to take these things to the airport. Although they are all chicken ribs that can't be sold, they are also valuable things, so Pockmarked Li walked with the car. Yin Xinyue and I took another taxi and agreed to meet at the airport.

We took the afternoon flight and arrived in Handan in an hour, but it took us a whole afternoon to get to the town from Handan.

I asked Yin Xinyue, "why don't the crew go to the film and television city to make a film?"? I have to choose such a remote place. "

"I don't know when you arrive. There is an ancient town of Ming Dynasty, with a small bridge and flowing water. It's very beautiful. We spent a lot of time renting it. In fact, this martial arts film is made in two parts. A small part is here, and the rest is made in the film and television city. "

"It's hard enough to shoot!" I sighed.

"Well, I used to sleep only four or five hours a day when I was filming. I was so sleepy that I could walk with the wind. Sometimes in winter, when shooting in summer, when shooting in winter, you think about how it feels to wear a single garment five times below zero, or to wear a padded jacket in a hot day. " Yin crescent complained.

"Why do you have to shoot upside down? You can't shoot in summer or winter?" she added"A play will be finished in a few months. How can you take it easy for a year? Now the competition is fierce. Everyone is racing with time. Otherwise, how can a star take four or five plays a year?"

Yin Xinyue can't stop talking about this topic, which popularizes some common sense of TV series.

She said that China is a big country of TV dramas. There are tens of thousands of TV dramas produced in a year. Thousands of practitioners are contributing their sweat and wisdom. But there are only a few popular TV dramas every year. Most of the remaining people may not even hear their names. It's really uncertain whether a play can be popular. There are many examples of investors' money floating around. Sometimes even if it's a big investment, a big lineup and a big director, they may just lose even more.

At five o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the small town where the production team is located. It is indeed a well preserved ancient town of Ming Dynasty. The ancient brick and tile buildings are all in one color. They are close to the mountain and the water, giving a sense of tranquility and simplicity. The director is quite able to choose a place.

There are many cars parked at the entrance of the town, some are private cars, some are sprayed with the words of a film and television company, and a banner is pulled on the tree: "the shooting scene of a large-scale ancient martial arts TV drama" Xiakexing ". I saw a lot of red paper scraps left by firecrackers on the ground. Yin Xinyue said that he would worship Guan Erye before starting the machine. It was a custom in Hong Kong. Now The mainland also pays attention to it, in order to make a good picture.

When we got off at the intersection, Yin Xinyue called. Soon an SUV came and a man came down from the car. Yin Xinyue said it was Xu group leader of the props group. Xu group leader made a few words and said some words of gratitude. We helped him move things to the car and then took his car to the town.

The car is slowly driving in the small town. We see some cranes. Yin Xinyue says they are used to hoist Weiya. There are also some camera tracks that the staff will use when assembling and shooting. Next to them is a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, who is discussing something with others.

"The one with sunglasses is Zhang Dao!" Yin said.

"We're not going to give people trouble here, are we?" I asked.

"Why don't you report to a mass actor? It's OK to be a special actor. It's just a housekeeper, a waiter or something. There's not a few lines. " Yin Yueyue said with a smile.

"But we didn't act." I said.

"Those who don't need any acting skills will show their faces several times more than those who run a dragon suit." Yin Xinyue smiles back and forth.

"Do you think my image can be used in the mirror?"

"It's OK. If you're too handsome, you'll catch the camera. The director doesn't dare to use it."

"Oh, you hurt my heart!" I said, covering my chest.
