Seeing the numbers on the contract, Lin Momo was a little dumbfounded.
Lin Momo blinked, rubbed her eyes again, and repeatedly confirmed that the '4' she saw was followed by four 0's, and the brackets behind it also said 'million' instead of 'thousand'.
Lin Momo secretly reached out her hand, and carefully tugged on Lin Cheng's sleeve.
"dad."
"Um?"
"Isn't it 4000?" Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng in a very, very small voice.
Lin Momo thought that the other people present would not be able to hear her, but several people on the production team still judged what she was talking about through Lin Momo's mouth shape and a little bit of voice.
"4000?" The head of the production team was taken aback for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How could it be 4000?"
After a pause, the man said again: "We are a regular crew, not the kind of black crew, how could it be possible to just take the salary of black actors."
Regardless of whether Lin Cheng is famous or not, and whether he is a professional actor or not, as long as he meets the requirements of the crew and officially participates in "Retrograde", they will give an appropriate salary according to the role's role and the difficulty of filming.
-is that so?
Lin Momo was stunned, but the words 'black crew' couldn't get out of her mind.
…
In the live broadcast room, seeing Lin Momo's bewildered expression, many viewers laughed:
[Although I feel sorry for Momo, but... I'm sorry, I can't help but still want to laugh. 】
【Hahaha, just now when Momo secretly pointed her finger at her dad, I guessed that she meant either 400 or 4000. 】
[I feel that Xiao Momo is already struggling when she increased her salary from 3000 to 4000 just now. 】
[Momo: I never expected it to be 40,000! 】
…
In the picture, Lin Cheng chatted with the crew for a few more words, and then led Lin Momo out of the temporary office and actor recruitment room here.
They need to go back to their current residence to pack their bags and bring them into the crew.
Because this week’s program recording has already reached the second half, and the time for Lin Cheng and the others to go back is very close. After that, Lin Cheng still has 3+1 episodes, about a month’s program recording, so there is not much time for filming here , so it is very likely that you will have to stay up late to shoot.
Therefore, the father and daughter need to temporarily live in the crew.
On the way back, Lin Momo kept her head buried, not knowing whether she was thinking about something or feeling depressed.
Lin Cheng raised his hand and rubbed the top of Lin Momo's head.
Only then did Lin Momo look up at Lin Cheng, and asked the question that had been on her mind all the time: "Dad, when we were filming that drama earlier, did I have to be short?"
At this time, Lin Momo's mind drifted through the phrase "black crew" that the film crew said...
Looking at Lin Momo's confused and annoyed expression, Lin Cheng couldn't help but smile.
Lin Cheng stopped, thought for a while, touched Lin Momo's head again, and explained earnestly: "The "Where Are You?" we filmed before is a public welfare film, and the producer hopes that through such a public welfare film, people Everyone pays attention to left-behind children and environmental protection issues.”
"You also hope that children like 'Xu Duo' can be well protected and live happily with their families, parents, right?"
"Yeah." Lin Momo nodded.
"So, participating in the filming of that drama, no matter if you get more or less, you are doing charity."
Lin Momo nodded again: It seems to be true.
"And," after a pause, Lin Cheng said something that Lin Momo has always been thinking about: "2000 is enough to complete this week's tasks."
Sure enough, Lin Momo's eyes lit up when she heard Lin Cheng's words.
"That's right!" They have completed their tasks this week!
Thinking of this, Lin Momo smiled again, and followed Lin Cheng back to their residence bouncing around.
—
Back in the room, after packing their luggage, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo said goodbye to their neighbors and landlord one by one, and arrived at the set on time in the afternoon.
Different from the actor's interview site and the depression of the temporary office, the entire "Retrograde" shooting site is very large, and the background, props, and even the costumes of the extras have been highly restored.
At the scene, many national-level actors can also be seen auditioning and playing against each other.
Seeing this scene, the barrage in the live broadcast room exploded:
【my God! The crew of "Retrograde" contracted a whole filming area! 】At present, there are many dramas being filmed in the film and television city. In order to save costs or save shooting time, many filming locations will be lined up and cross-rented by the crew. The posture of "Retrograde" is indeed like contracting an entire filming location, even There are also many buildings built by the crew of "Retrograde" according to historical documents in order to make the shooting more realistic.
["Retrograde" is a huge investment! 】
[Because there are too many characters, there are rumors on the Internet that the filming of this drama will take at least one year. 】
【incredible…】
[The previous interview office was so low, I thought it was a fake "Retrograde" crew, but I didn't expect all the money to be spent on it. 】
[And the cast is so strong! 】
[Yes, in such a short time, I have already seen 6 old artists, and one young and talented artist! 】The salaries of these old actors are not high, but there is no doubt that each of these actors is a treasure in the film and television industry.
[It's over, I didn't really watch this kind of subject matter, I was afraid that my heart wouldn't be able to take it, but this drama, I'm already heartbroken without filming. 】
…
On the set, seeing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo walking in, the director greeted them with excitement in his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was for Lin Cheng or Lin Momo.
"Here we come! Let's talk at the back first." Director Liu led Lin Cheng and Lin Momo to the working area behind the shooting location with a smile on his face, and hurriedly asked the scene manager to take Lin Cheng and their luggage to the crew for the actors The room for temporary rest and temporary stay, and the crew passes that have already been issued were given to Lin Cheng and the other two.
What Lin Momo didn't expect was that the crew had prepared a sheet for her: it had the name of the "Retrograde" crew, Lin Momo's name, and a word 'B' written on it.
There was also a photo of Lin Momo posted on it.
"The time is short, and it's too troublesome to take photos. Our staff just took a random screenshot from the Internet. It's the same thing anyway, haha." Director Liu explained with a smile.
Looking at the photo on her passport, Lin Momo fell into deep thought: "..."
This 1-inch photo was taken from the historical replay of the live broadcast room of "Living with Dad"—it was the day when Lin Momo and Lin Cheng ran around various production groups in the film and television city for a day, and finally got so tired that he half-opened his mouth and leaned The picture of Lin Cheng falling asleep.
Scattered hair, full head of sweat, carrying seven or eight water bottles, towels, and small leaflets, curled up on the bench... It's a bit like a beggar.
"Have you roughly read the script I gave you this morning?" Director Liu asked Lin Cheng.
"Looked through it roughly." Lin Cheng responded.
"That's fine," Liu nodded, and said again: "The part you want to shoot is almost ready, come here first and I'll talk to you about the script, and then we can start shooting."
Director Liu's gesture of pulling Lin Cheng into the group to start filming immediately caused heated discussions in the live broadcast room:
【What? This is about to be filmed? 】
[Is it too hasty? 】
【Hahaha, no, Director Liu seems to be filming in this style. 】Which venue is free, whichever venue is available, whichever venue is available, and which actors are assembled, then those few scenes will be filmed first.
…
Here, Director Liu pulled Lin Cheng to start talking about the script.
—In the whole play, there are 9 scenes of "Lin Annan", 4 of which are scenes shot with other actors, and 5 scenes are scenes shot by Lin Cheng alone.
Due to time constraints, Director Liu arranged a pairing scene and two separate scenes to be filmed in these two days, and the rest will be watched after the recording of "Living with Dad" is over, or on weekends.
After going through the script quickly with Lin Cheng, Director Liu glanced at the back of the set, and said, "It just so happens that Mr. Zhou also came to the set together, and you have a scene with him. You can try it first in a while." Act it out and get the feeling."
After all, Director Liu couldn't help but stare at Lin Cheng again.
- Temporarily decided to shoot the part of "Lin Annan" first. In order to find his feeling, he carefully read the historical information and character background of Lin Annan on the way to the set.
Lin Annan and his Lin family have left too few traces in history. We can only find some images and pictures of Lin Annan in the photos left by some reporters.
After such a comparison, Director Liu found that Lin Cheng in front of him and Lin Annan's eyebrows in the photo seemed a bit similar?
"Is it because of this that Teacher Zhou suggested Lin Cheng to play 'Lin Annan'?"
Director Liu murmured silently in his heart: If this is the case, then Teacher Zhou Haihua's eyesight is too poisonous.
"Let's go make up and change clothes first." Director Liu said, at this moment, he was already looking forward to Lin Cheng's change into "Lin Annan" attire.
—
On the other side, Lin Momo was temporarily entrusted by Lin Cheng to the care of the young lady on the set.
The field manager brought Lin Momo to the rest area behind the field.
At this time, Zhou Haihua was also playing with a few younger actors in the rest area. Seeing Lin Momo, Zhou Haihua's eyes lit up.
Lin Momo shrank her neck subconsciously: the scene of Zhou Haihua scolding and crying the two actors in the morning is still vivid in Lin Momo's mind. Lin Momo is a little scared of this fierce old man.
Lin Momo looked around in the rest area, and finally sat down at the farthest corner from Zhou Haihua, buried her head down, quietly not to disturb other people, and minimized her sense of presence .
But 'it didn't work out', after talking to the two young actors, Zhou Haihua walked towards Lin Momo with a smile on his face.
"Little Momo is here."
"I have candy here, can Xiao Momo eat it?" After finishing speaking, Zhou Haihua took out a few pieces of candy from his fishing vest pocket and handed them to Lin Momo.
As if he didn't see Lin Momo's discomfort, Zhou Haihua took out another small electric fan and asked Lin Momo: "Is the little Momo hot? Look, I have a small electric fan here, but it's still big. The blue fat doll is not cute, come and blow it yourself."
Looking at Doraemon on the small fan, Lin Momo: "..."
"This is a robot cat." Lin Momo corrected in a low voice.
Hearing this, Zhou Haihua was taken aback for a moment, squinting his eyes and staring at the blue fat man on the small fan for a long time.
— This small electric fan was discarded by some young man in the crew. Zhou Haihua took it and repaired it. As for the blue fat man above, he really didn't know him.
Just look left and right, it has nothing to do with cats.
"Ok, ok, ping-pong cat, ping-pong cat." Zhou Haihua nodded, and continued to look at Lin Momo lovingly, as if looking at her great-granddaughter.
Mr. Lin, who watched this scene through the screen of the live broadcast room, was unhappy, pointed at the tablet and cursed: "What the **** does the old man want to do?!"
"My son's eldest son is too young to start a family, and he can't enjoy the blessings of the younger generation. What's the matter, he still misses other people's treasures!"
"It makes no sense!"
Mr. Lin was so angry that he stood up from the sofa in a jerk.
This shocked Butler Zhou on the side: "Old man, you are..."
"Didn't you see that this old man scared our Momo?"
"No, I have to go!" The appearance of the old man about to rush to the film and television city once again startled Butler Zhou.
…
At the scene, Zhou Haihua seemed to have finally noticed that Lin Momo seemed a little afraid of him, so she looked at herself.
Zhou Haihua was wearing the costumes of the crew at this time.
Because Zhou Haihua played an underground intelligence worker in the play, who disguised himself as a beggar to deliver information to the organization, so at this time he was completely dressed as a beggar.
Zhou Haihua thought that Lin Momo was frightened by her own attire, she was a little embarrassed, and gave Lin Momo a very kind and friendly smile.
Faced with this smile, Lin Momo shivered.
"Well, I'm going to find my dad."
"Goodbye, grandpa." After saying that, Lin Momo ran away quickly.
Zhou Haihua was left with a surprised face.
…
Lin Momo came outside the dressing room and stood still outside.
At this time, a staff member came over and saw Lin Momo standing outside the makeup area. Seeing the passport hanging around Lin Momo's neck, the staff quickly guessed her identity.
"Little friend, why are you standing here? Is there something wrong?" the staff asked softly.
"Come and find my father, he's inside," Lin Momo said, pointing in the direction of the makeup area, then looked at the staff, and asked, "Sister, can I go in?"
"Okay, of course, let's go in." The staff said with a smile.
After saying 'thank you', Lin Momo ran in and found Lin Cheng.
At this time, Lin Cheng had finished his makeup and put on a gentleman's white suit. His hair was combed meticulously, with some white hair mixed in the middle, and he wore a pair of glasses on his face.
He looks gentle but has the temperament of an industrialist, as well as the righteousness in his bones.
Lin Cheng's appearance appeared in the camera of the live broadcast room, and once again the live broadcast room exploded:
[Wow, wow, Dad Lin is so handsome! 】
[Last time when Lin Cheng performed the reception in that Republic of China drama, I thought he must be super handsome in a suit, and I guessed it right! 】
[I love it, I love it. 】
…
Not only the audience in the live broadcast room, but also the crew members' eyes lit up when they saw Lin Cheng.
"Yes, let's go first." Director Liu looked at Lin Cheng and nodded repeatedly.
Several people came to the shooting scene.
At this time, Zhou Haihua was also here. Seeing Lin Momo, the old man immediately smiled again.
Seeing this, Lin Momo subconsciously hid behind Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng patted Lin Momo on the head, arranged her to sit in the rest area, and was about to start the audition.
Because the crew requested confidentiality, the content of the following live broadcast was blurred by the program crew.
[Hey, it's a pity I can't see it. 】
[I really want to see it, why don't you let us see it! 】
【Curious what to do...】
[Nervous and looking forward to Lin Cheng's performance. 】
【I think Papa Lin should be able to act well...】
Gradually, the topics discussed by everyone began to gossip:
[Before a fan of a celebrity on the Internet was still stepping on Lin Cheng, saying that Lin Cheng wanted to join the crew of that "Yue Han Han", I laughed. 】
[Yes, I saw it too, and it was said that Lin Cheng is a top-notch singer who has never filmed an MV and is not worthy of acting. 】
[The rhythm is too obvious. 】
["Retrograde" is better than that drama, okay, by then, Papa Lin's promotional clip will be released, and he will directly hit those people in the face, heh heh. 】
…
On the scene, the actors are in place.
Lin Cheng got on the prop car for shooting, and Zhou Haihua also came to the street and sat down.
After entering the shooting scene, Zhou Haihua's state immediately changed. Last second, he was cheerfully supporting Lin Momo's old man, but now he changed into a shrunken, numb-eyed look leaning against the street.
When soldiers from the enemy country passed by, Zhou Haihua would pucker his mouth and spit secretly, and when all the vehicles passed by, the old man would lazily back away.
Even for the audition, Zhou Haihua treated it with a 100% attitude.
Zhou Haihua's appearance also instantly brought everyone on the set and the extras into the era when the motherland was devastated and the people were in dire straits.
A car stopped in front of the beggar. The beggar stepped back and snorted, turned over and continued to lie down.
This is, a gentleman-like man stepped out of the car.
The man put an ocean into the soil bowl in front of the beggar. Hearing the sound, the beggar's ears seemed to move, and he opened his eyes through the gap in the brim of his hat, with golden light shining from his eyes.
In the next second, the beggar quickly grabbed the ocean in the bowl, hid it in his pocket, and continued to sleep as if nothing had happened, but waved his hand, as if thanking the man.
However, the man did not leave.
The man squatted in front of the beggar for a while, and at this moment, the man said, "I'm here to visit relatives, and I want to ask you if there is a Mr. Qu here."
"Mr. Qu? We have a lot of Mr. Qu here. There are Qu Bai Qu, one Qu, two Qu and three..." The beggar hummed a song.
"Mr. Qu is ranked fifth..."
After the man finished speaking, a gleam of light flashed in the beggar's cloudy eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.
The beggar was very cautious, even though the man took out the letter, he still didn't let go, and just led the man to another place...
Outside the court, watching Lin Cheng's performance, Director Liu stroked his chin and nodded.
"Not bad, it went well." The assistant director next to Director Liu said.
Director Liu nodded in agreement.
In normal times, if Mr. Zhou intentionally pressured the play, the actors who played against him would probably mess up by themselves.
I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to take good care of the young actors today.
Director Liu secretly felt surprised.
—
On the other side, the Lin family.
Mr. Lin had already packed his clothes and luggage, as if he was going to the film and television city soon.
Steward Zhou and Zhou Ming persuaded him from the sidelines.
"Old man, you have been tossing too much in the past, it's better to wait for the young master and Momo to come back."
"No, I have to go now. Have you arranged my itinerary for me?" Mr. Lin asked.
"I'm ready, but..." Zhou Ming thought for a while, and then said, "Master and the others are on the set, so you can't get in if you're not a member of the crew."
"They filmed my grandpa, why don't you let me watch it?" The old man replied, but it felt weird when he said it.
"Then I'll invest in them!"
"This drama should not lack investment." Zhou Ming said in a low voice.
"Then I'll lend them the venue, and the Lin Mansion in N City to give them an envoy!"
