Chapter 269 Scapegoat ( words updated!)
The war between Chen Ziyan and He Yingzi can be traced back almost a long time ago.
But the conflict between Lu Yanhe and Lang Xia just started not long ago.
Strictly speaking, there was no conflict between the two of them - there was no real head-on conflict.
But if there is no confrontation between two people, it can be felt without any words or actions.
At first, Lu Yanhe thought it was because their managers didn't deal with them, but later Lu Yanhe felt that Lang Xia's dislike of him was entirely personal.
Of course, he didn't have the interest to ask Lang Xia why.
Acting in the same crew and being of the same age may be a reason not to deal with them in various aspects.
Moreover, Lu Yanhe could more or less feel the reason.
Whenever the two of them acted opposite each other and Chen Lingling pointed out problems, Lang Xia's problems often appeared in the grasp of the character and the propriety of the performance, while he often had technical problems - in short, just like what the media said It is said that Lu Yanhe has a self-taught rhythm in acting and has so-called "talent". Therefore, his handling was approved by Chen Lingling.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
This made Lu Yanhe feel strange.
His confidence in Chen Ziyan has reached this level.
-
When Liu Biao was called to the clothing room, he was still confused and didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until He Min looked at him and then at Chen Ziyan with a hesitant expression on his face that Liu Biao knew , trouble is coming.
"Just, happy." Lu Yanhe said a little embarrassedly.
He Min knew Chen Ziyan and felt dizzy for a while, but he could only take Chen Ziyan there.
A conflict between two people and a conflict between ten people is not just a matter of magnitude.
Then, half an hour passed, and no one from the clothing team sent any clothes.
"We try our best."
Lu Yanhe nodded honestly and said, "I saw it."
He Min said to Lu Yanhe: "You put on your makeup first, and I'll have someone get the spare one."
Several people behind her lowered their heads, and no one answered.
Lu Yanhe looked surprised and asked: "Sister Ziyan, are you serious? I will take it seriously. If I don't get the nomination, I will be disappointed."
Lu Yanhe immediately made an expression of disbelief and said, "This is too cruel."
Not that he would only wear brand new clothes. However, the scene to be filmed today is a daily scene. As a personal guard of a county king, you should pay attention to this aspect.
It doesn't take long to iron an ordinary piece of clothing, but Lu Yanhe's guard uniform has three pieces in total, especially the outer one. The crew specially hired an embroiderer to knit it, and the embroidery work is very fine. , the material cannot be ironed normally, and it will take much longer than ordinary ironing.
Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe, "I'll come as soon as I go."
"So many people are praising you, how do you feel?"
At this time, Chen Ziyan came.
This matter will definitely be resolved properly.
He Min said: "Yan He, I'm sorry, of your set of clothes, you only have this one, and the other spare items have been cleaned. We have to iron it urgently, and we have to wait a little longer."
Just as he was talking, He Min suddenly came over.
Lu Yanhe nodded and said thank you.
However, being an old team does not mean that everything goes smoothly - people's hearts will change. When you are just starting out, you may not be very capable, but you may be fearful. The boundaries between what you can and cannot do are relatively clear, but after you have done it for a long time, you will do more. Now that I have developed my abilities and become familiar with things, I often lose my sense of fear and boundaries, create a small circle for myself, and do some things that are both overt and covert.
Her expression was a bit grim, which made Lu Yanhe feel a thump in his heart when he saw it in the mirror, guessing that his clothing problem might not have been solved so smoothly.
He Min, the costume designer, heard Lu Yanhe's words and took a look at it. He immediately got angry and asked the people behind him: "What's going on with these clothes? We agreed that every piece should be ironed and stored. This kind of How do you store things?!”
This is a group with more people, the difficulty is not a simple "1+1" superposition, but an exponential increase.
The makeup artist standing behind him laughed.
There are many people in the crew. In movies, TV dramas and novels, they are often reduced to the background of the protagonists, but in the real crew, everyone is a person who has 24 hours a day - meaning, everyone is It's a little butterfly. You never know which butterfly will flap its wings and turn into a tornado on the other side.
"Have you read comments online recently?" Chen Ziyan asked with a smile.
The makeup artist is putting a hair condom on him.
When it was time to change clothes today, Lu Yanhe came to change clothes before doing makeup as usual, but the clothes he got were a little wrinkled.
Hearing this, Lu Yanhe glanced at the time and said, "I'll start work in an hour. Can I make it in time?"
Huang Cheng is also more relieved.
Huang Cheng originally thought that no matter what, this matter was just a matter of the behind-the-scenes team. As a result, something happened on the day when Chen Ziyan and He Yingzi came over.
-
"This dress -" Lu Yanhe frowned and looked at the costumer, "Can you iron it?"
Almost all the regular members of this filming team are veterans.
It's random, but it can happen.
Because Chen Ziyan is here, Lu Yanhe is not so worried anymore.
When Chen Ziyan heard this, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Lu Yanhe's clothes? Take me to see it."
Chen Lingling is not responsible for the management of the crew. She is only responsible for the quality of the show. Huang Cheng is in charge of everything else.
Chen Ziyan said: ""Golden Age" was indeed broadcast well. I never thought that your performance in it would be so recognized. Director Luo also specifically told me that I can look forward to several TV dramas next year." Awards, maybe get nominated.”
"That's also a good thing. From now on, you are an official actor, and you have to learn to accept disappointment." Chen Ziyan said, "For actors, there are always more disappointments than happy moments."
"Assistant Liu, I'm sorry, you're so busy, so I asked you to come over." Chen Ziyan said to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao forced a smile on his face. He could only treat this woman well, who had a close relationship with Huang Cheng and Chen Lingling.
"Zi Yan, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiao Lu's clothes." Chen Ziyan said, "I just learned that many of Xiao Lu's costumes only have one set. Like the one he is wearing for filming today, something went wrong and there is no spare one."
In a production crew, unless it is a particularly precious costume, generally speaking, one or two pieces of regular clothes will be kept as a spare. If an actor gets dirty during filming, or accidentally breaks his clothes, there will still be emergency spare clothes. After all, Getting it dirty or broken is common.
Liu Biao immediately explained: "Of course there are spare servers, but they haven't been sent over yet. We thought that Xiao Lu didn't have any action scenes today, so we didn't bring the spare servers over."
"So that's it. It seems that the staff just now were not familiar with the situation." Chen Ziyan said, "I have no other intention. When Xiao Lu is filming, he can appear normally in every scene instead of wearing this kind of wrinkles." Baba’s clothes make the audience play, so this shouldn’t be too demanding, right?”
She looked at Liu Biao sharply.
Liu Biao immediately nodded and said, "Not high, not high. Don't worry, the problem will definitely be solved."
Chen Ziyan smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
Chen Ziyan did not stay here waiting for the problem to be solved. As long as Liu Biao gave this attitude, she would wait and see the result.
After she left, the smile on Liu Biao's face stopped and he looked at He Min with an annoyed look on his face: "Why did this happen? Why did she come here?"
He Min said helplessly: "The people below did not clean and iron Lu Yanhe's costume in time. When Lu Yanhe put on his clothes today, he raised a problem. Unfortunately, this suit cannot be ironed in a short time. I When I was discussing this issue with Lu Yanhe, Chen Ziyan happened to be here, and she came over to pick on me."
"The person who messed up the matter will be fired directly." Liu Biao said angrily.
When He Min heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay."
"As for the clothes, how long does it take to iron them?" Liu Biao asked.
He Min said: "It will take at least three hours."
Liu Biao: "I understand. I will move Lu Yanhe's scene back a few hours so that you have time to finish it."
He Min nodded.
Liu Biao didn't know what he was thinking of, so he warned again: "Handle the matter cleanly."
"Yeah." He Min sighed, "It's my fault too. I didn't check the clothes I'm going to use today in advance, and there was such a flaw."
Liu Biao was equally annoyed and said, "If you don't be more careful, if something goes wrong again and Huang Cheng and the others find out, you will definitely be finished before me."
He Min's face turned ugly.
"understood."
-
He Yingzi chatted with Lang Xia, comforted him, comforted him, and asked him not to be affected by Lu Yanhe's short-term success and to make adjustments.
After the chat, He Yingzi was ready to go to Huang Cheng.
Just now Lang Xia told her that his shooting time has been very bad. There are often almost four or five hours between two scenes, and he can only work on the set. However, Lu Yanhe can concentrate a day's scenes into one time period. , you can go back to the hotel to rest at other times.
Although He Yingzi also knew that with Lu Yanhe's current popularity and popularity, it was inevitable for the crew to make such an arrangement, but she still had to go to Huang Cheng to communicate, at least so that Lang Xia wouldn't have to wait so long on the set.
It is actually normal for a newcomer to receive such treatment in the crew. If Lu Yanhe were not here to compare, Lang Xia would not be so annoyed at being treated differently.
Of course, He Yingzi couldn't tell Lang Xia. This was because Lu Yanhe was more popular now. With the popularity of "Golden Age", the crew naturally adjusted his treatment. If he really said that, with Lang Xia's sensitive mind and mouth, If I didn't say it, I would probably die of heart failure.
At least let Lang Xia's treatment be better.
He Yingzi made this plan.
She went to find Huang Cheng, but Huang Cheng didn't know where he was and couldn't find anyone else.
He Yingzi was waiting on the set.
Suddenly, a little girl walked over with red eyes and crying.
He Yingzi glanced at her in surprise.
Judging by his attire, he doesn't look like an actor, but rather a staff member.
Did you do something wrong and get scolded?
He Yingzi looked at her thoughtfully.
She suddenly fell to the ground again.
He Yingzi was startled and subconsciously stood up to help her.
"Are you OK?"
"Something's wrong with me!" The girl suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down her face, "I'm fired!"
He Yingzi was stunned and looked at her in surprise.
"Don't howl." He Yingzi was most afraid of encountering someone like this who would start howling without saying anything. She felt dizzy and regretted that she didn't walk away immediately.
trouble.
What a hassle.
But it’s not easy to let go now.
He Yingzi could only help her up and comfort her: "It's useless to cry out if you're fired. It's better to think about what to do next."
The girl looked at her in disbelief and forgot to cry for a moment.
When He Yingzi saw the girl like this, he knew that she couldn't think straight now and couldn't think about what she should do next.
With a pure and clear look of stupidity... He Yingzi sighed and said, "First tell me why you were fired."
-
Lu Yanhe was soon notified that due to adjustments to on-site shooting, his scene would be filmed in the afternoon, so he could rest first.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan looked at each other.
Because there were people from the makeup team in the lounge, they didn't say much.
After the headgear was put on, makeup and hair were done, and the makeup team left, Lu Yanhe asked: "Sister Ziyan, my scene was moved to the afternoon, is it related to my clothes?" "I guess so. "Chen Ziyan nodded, "I guess I can't come up with something you can wear right away, so I'm trying to buy some time to deal with it."
Lu Yanhe frowned: "Since we have spare clothes, just ask someone to pick them up. How long will it take?"
"Do you really think you have spare clothes?" Chen Ziyan smiled, twitching the corner of her mouth, showing a somewhat sarcastic smile, and said: "I guess this is the only one, and at most there will be another set in rotation, all the time. It’s being used.”
"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned, "I remember they said before that we usually have about two spare pieces of regular uniforms."
"I reported this budget, but didn't make it." Chen Ziyan answered his questions, "This way, I can save the cost of making one or two sets of costumes and keep it myself. Ancient costumes like yours, especially the clothes of your main characters. , the production cost of a set is tens of thousands.”
Lu Yanhe understood instantly.
Lu Yanhe has a total of eight sets of clothes in the film. Normally, each set requires about two sets of spares. For example, if Lu Yanhe has a fighting scene to shoot, he needs to prepare more pieces. Then the costume team If they only prepare two pieces of each item, or even more exaggeratedly, only prepare one piece, then they can deduct 100,000 yuan for Lu Yanhe's clothing alone.
With so many actors in a crew and the protagonist wearing more clothes, you can imagine how much money they can pocket.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Sister Ziyan, this kind of thing..."
"You must never think of exposing this matter to everyone." Chen Ziyan said immediately.
"what?"
"This kind of thing happens to every crew, whether it is exaggerated or not. There is no such thing as pricing a straw hat at 6000 yuan. Turn a blind eye and don't offend people easily." Chen Ziyan Say, "I have just beaten them, and they will not make trouble with your clothes again, and that will be all right."
Lu Yanhe was speechless and said, "Isn't this just stealing money?"
"Everyone wants to make money. You are an actor and you can make a lot of money openly. But the people in the costume department don't have the ability to ask for prices. They are not cutting corners on your clothes. They are just based on experience and can effectively control the loss. Earning a little bit of saved production fee is really nothing. Of course, I’m not saying that what they did is right. Of course it’s not. But every crew is like this and there’s no way to prevent it. Do you think the production company doesn’t know that? ?The accounts are clean, there are no major problems, and everyone will turn a blind eye."
Lu Yanhe fell silent.
Chen Ziyan patted his shoulder.
-
After hearing this girl named Shen Yufang explain the reasons and consequences of her expulsion, He Yingzi's eyes suddenly started to roll.
She didn't expect that this matter was related to Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan.
Things like the costume department happen to every crew, so it’s not surprising.
If He Yingzi simply heard about such a thing, he would not have any thoughts. She could only say that Shen Yufang was unlucky, but this matter involved Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan——
The calculations in He Yingzi's heart began to click.
"Xiaofang, do you really plan to be driven away in such a dejected manner?"
"Sister, what can I do?" Shen Yufang looked at her blankly.
He Yingzi shook his head and said, "Ask me what you can do. I don't know. You have to find someone who can make the decision."
"The person who calls the shots?" Shen Yufang still looked confused.
He Yingzi said: "Yes, since the person in charge of your clothing department is the one who fired you, then who are you looking for?"
Before Shen Yufang could think clearly, He Yingzi smiled and said, "I've been chatting with you for so long, I have to go, bye."
When Shen Yufang heard that she was leaving, she immediately showed a reluctant expression, "Sister, I don't know your name yet."
He Yingzi: "What's the use of knowing my name? You just need to know the name of the person who speaks effectively. Okay, I'm leaving."
He Yingzi left after finishing speaking.
Shen Yufang looked at He Yingzi's leaving figure and thought, why isn't her leader such a sister?
The scene where He Min asked her to leave appeared in her mind, with that indifferent attitude, as if there was no warmth at all.
People whose words work...
Who is the most effective person on this crew?
Shen Yufang was thinking about this problem while walking forward with her head lowered. When she turned the corner, she happened to bump into producer Huang Cheng.
"Huang, Mr. Huang." When Shen Yufang saw Huang Cheng, she subconsciously shrank her neck like a quail and shouted.
Huang Cheng nodded and hurried forward.
Shen Yufang suddenly thought of something and turned around.
"Mr. Huang!" She looked at Huang Cheng's hurried away figure and shouted directly without having time to think about it.
Huang Cheng stopped and looked back at her, showing doubts.
"what happened?"
-
With a few extra hours of free time, Lu Yanhe took out his laptop and reviewed the manuscript for the fifth issue of "Jump Up".
The fourth issue will be available soon.
All the manuscripts for the fifth issue have been collected. This speed means that the operation of "Jump Up" has become more and more familiar, and it is not as rushed as the previous issues.
In the fifth issue of the magazine, Liu Jiazhen's novel serialization will come to an end, and his novel will be on the market at the end of January, which means that readers can see the physical book of the novel first.
The original plan was for Liu Jiazhen's novel to be serialized for six issues, reaching the seventh issue in total, but now it has to end two issues early because the physical book will be released at the end of January.
Chen Siqi has increased the number of words in the series since the fourth issue, from 20,000 words to 40,000 words.
Xu Xiaoyin was originally worried that Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi would mind this matter - after all, if the physical book is published first, it will definitely affect the purchase of the fifth issue by readers who follow the series.
But Chen Siqi didn't mind at all.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, if it wasn't to ensure that readers of the magazine could read the story completely, not publishing the last two episodes in the magazine would be more helpful to the sales of Liujiazhen's novel." Chen Siqi said, "I hope Liu Jiazhen will not publish the last two chapters in the magazine." Jia Zhen’s next novel can still be serialized in our magazine.”
Chen Siqi wants to do one thing. He wants the novels serialized in "Jump Up" to get a best-selling number and get a head start. Only in this way can he hope that top writers are willing to put their novels in "Jump Up". Serialized on "Jump Up".
In the fifth issue, Chen Siqi also previewed the next issue of novel serialization. She invited the famous online novel writer Baduanjin to serialize a new work "I am not a fairy" with a font size of 300,000 fonts in "Jump Up".
It took Chen Siqi to visit Baduanjin three times before he successfully persuaded him to write a 300,000-word novel for "Jump Up"—compared to his other novels, which are often over a million words. This novel can obviously only be considered a short story.
"The readers of "Jump Up" are all literary and artistic. Can't they accept my novel style?" Baduanjin's first reaction was to refuse and not want to write.
In fact, let’s not talk about style. For Baduanjin, writing 300,000 words on the Internet platform must make a few zeros more than serializing 300,000 words on "Jump Up". .
This is what Chen Siqi said at the time: "Although "Jump Up" is positioned as a literary magazine, our first requirement for novels is that they are good-looking. We are not a purely literary magazine. What we want to do is a magazine that everyone likes to read. And the story you wrote has fully proved one thing, everyone likes to read it.”
"In addition, Mr. Baduan, there are many online novel writers, but the first one we want to invite is you. This is because our entire editorial team is your reader, and we all agree that your writing style will be Readers of our magazine like it." Chen Siqi pointed out his concerns, "You are already the leading writer in the field of online novels. Readers of online novels must have heard of you even if they have not read your works. But there are many readers of "Jump Up" who don't know you. "Jump Up" can be such a window. Moreover, you also know that because Lu Yanhe is the editor-in-chief, our magazine has many film and television companies, entertainment companies, etc. Circles and other related people are reading this. Your previous works were very long because of their macro settings, so far none of them have been successfully developed into film and television dramas. A novel with a font size of 300,000 fonts is the most suitable for film and television. You are a master of telling stories and a master of rhythm in your style. Let more people read the stories you write. This is the reason why we dare to invite you."
-
After Lu Yanhe heard Chen Siqi tell the story of how she achieved Baduanjin, he admired Chen Siqi.
"Is his signing platform OK?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"Teacher Ba Duan's contract itself is relatively free, and he has negotiated it with the platform himself." Chen Siqi said, "So starting from the sixth issue, each issue will be serialized with 30,000 words, and it will be serialized to the fifteenth issue, a total of ten Expect."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and said, "Then the span is quite big."
"Well, but you also know that not only the readers of "Jump Up" are the potential readers of Teacher Ba Duan, but the readers of Teacher Ba Duan are also the potential readers of "Jump Up"." Chen Siqi said, "Moreover, he writes Xianxia Novels actually often incorporate many of our myths and legends and Buddhist and Taoist culture. Several classic novels have very strict novel structures and clear writing styles, which are suitable for serialization in magazines."
Lu Yanhe certainly supports Chen Siqi's decision.
"Ah."
He saw that the back cover of the fifth issue also included the cover of Liu Jiazhen's novel, using an entire page to promote the physical book.
Chen Siqi said: "In the future, all novels serialized in our magazine will receive this treatment when they are published. We can't say anything else, but we must ensure that novels that can be serialized in our magazine will receive our greatest publicity support."
Lu Yanhe understood Chen Siqi's intention, which was to make more writers willing to serialize "Jump Up".
-
After Lu Yanhe finished reading all the manuscripts and replied to Chen Siqi, he looked at the time and saw that it was exactly noon, so it should be time for dinner.
Chen Ziyan has left.
Lu Yanhe asked Zou Dong: "Brother Dong, has the clothing team contacted us? How are the clothes?"
Zou Dong shook his head and said, "You haven't contacted me yet, so it probably hasn't been handled yet."
Lu Yanhe was a little surprised and thought, it's been three hours. No matter how difficult it is to handle, it can be solved, right?
At this time, Chen Wenwen knocked on the door and brought them lunch.
"Thank you." Lu Yanhe asked, "Wenwen, do you have the contact information of Teacher He Min?"
Chen Wenwen shook her head, "No."
"Ok."
"She was called over by Mr. Huang just now. Are you looking for her?" Chen Wenwen asked.
Lu Yanhe nodded.
Chen Wenwen said: "I'll tell her assistant."
"Sorry for the trouble, thank you."
Chen Wenwen shook her head: "What's the trouble? I'll leave first."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
The lunch boxes were specially ordered by the crew from outside restaurants.
Lu Yanhe and Zou Dong were treated differently, and the difference could be seen in the dishes.
However, Lu Yanhe and Zou Dong always ate together and never separated.
Not long after eating, Lu Yanhe's cell phone suddenly rang.
He looked down and saw that it was a call from Huang Cheng.
"Hello, Mr. Huang?"
"Yan He, I want to ask you something, is it convenient?" Huang Cheng's tone said nothing.
Lu Yanhe: "It's convenient, what's the matter?"
"Is there something wrong with your costume this morning?"
Lu Yanhe was silent for a second, remembering what Chen Ziyan said in his mind.
"It's not a problem, it's just that the clothes are a little wrinkled, so I asked the teachers in the clothing team to help me iron them again." Lu Yanhe said.
Huang Cheng: "Okay, I understand, thank you."
"Yeah." Lu Yanhe didn't say anything else.
Including the clothes that should have been ironed and delivered, but they have not been delivered yet.
Huang Cheng hung up the phone.
Lu Yanhe silently picked up his chopsticks, but did not take them down.
Why did Huang Cheng suddenly ask him this question?
Did Huang Cheng discover anything?
Did he make this call to get some testimony from him?
However, he did not have any testimony. What Chen Ziyan said was just Chen Ziyan's speculation and suspicion.
The facts are what he just said.
What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that a little girl named Shen Yufang would suddenly publicly accuse the "Phoenix Stage" crew and him online.
"Why should I be the scapegoat?" she asked angrily.
