Chapter 188 Scandal
The actors from the six units of the entire drama set off on three separate buses, so the crew was officially assembled only after arriving in Jiangxi.
However, after getting off the car, everyone spontaneously divided into three circles.
The largest number are naturally mainland actors, slightly smaller are Hong Kong actors, and the smallest number are Taiwanese actors.
The most famous actors from the mainland are Yuan Li, Xu Kun and Hu Ge; the leading one from Taiwan is Zhou Yumin, who became very popular two years ago because of "Meteor Garden" - this is also one of the impacts caused by the schedule change. Originally, the crew had booked Lin Zhiying as the representative from Taiwan.
In addition to Jiang Hua, the male lead of "Painted Skin", the Hong Kong circle originally wanted to promote a Thai Chinese in order to open up the Southeast Asian market. However, due to schedule reasons, the plan was shelved and the popular Canadian actor Chen Guanxi was chosen to replace him.
Like Xu Kun, Chen Guanxi also brought his girlfriend Chen Wenyuan into the crew. The two played Bai Yang and Zhang Xiaoman in "Lu Pan" respectively.
Xu Kun had a vague impression of this Chen Guanxi. In his previous life, he seemed to have heard his cellmates praise him as a master of photography. But Xu Kun had searched online before coming here, and hadn't seen any photography works of his. Did he change his career later?
Perhaps feeling Xu Kun's gaze, Chen Guanxi raised his eyebrows in this direction, then turned his head and said something to the woman next to him, causing everyone to cover their mouths and laugh.
Only the woman who was suspected to be Chen Wenyuan quietly tugged at his sleeve, then glanced over here with some embarrassment.
Tsk~
Ever since finishing "Conquer", Xu Kun hasn't been in the same crew with this group of annoying guys for a long time.
At this time, Hu Ge pulled Xu Kun's sleeve as well. He turned his head and saw that it was director Wu Jinyuan who had arrived.
Wu Jinyuan is also from Hong Kong Island. He has directed works such as "Mr. Vampire 2", "My Date with a Vampire 2", "A Step into the Past", "The Unparalleled", "Sisters Under Fire 2", and "West Street Boys".
His previous work was "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
When Xu Kun went to the cliff to shoot the scene, he had met Director Wu before. He looked very arrogant at the time and later even left a lot of garbage on the ground for the Tianjian crew.
When they met again, Director Wu's attitude was obviously much better. He came up and shook hands with Xu Kun first. Not only did he chat about the old stories of the Twin Swords, he also specifically asked Hu Ge to help him entertain Xu Kun.
Then he exchanged a few words with Yuan Li and others before turning to the group of people from Hong Kong Island. I don't know what he said, but the group of people who had been so arrogant suddenly became dispirited.
It was not until they checked into the hotel later that Xu Kun realized that Wu Jinyuan was using Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Weijian as examples to warn Jiang Hua, Chen Guanxi and others not to cause trouble in the crew.
Because Wu Jinyuan had already brought people to set up the scene on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the actors only rested for one night and officially started filming the next day.
Wu Jinyuan is the chief director of the drama, and he has six executive directors working in groups to shoot the film.
It should be said that Wu Jinyuan's previous warning was quite effective. At least in the first few days before the filming started, Xu Kun had not heard of any Hong Kong Islander daring to act arrogantly in the crew.
However, Wanwan's Zhou Yumin would make some trouble from time to time, either being late or leaving early or complaining about the food. He also had two bodyguards around him all day long, as if he was worried that someone was going to assassinate him.
What is even more speechless is that he is clearly playing the silly male protagonist in the "Xiao Cui" chapter, but he still wants to act cool in front of the camera. I don't know how many NGs he has to do every day, but he still doesn't change despite repeated warnings.
[In fact, Zhou Yumin's big shot behavior in the mainland was supposed to happen in 06, but because of Xu Kun's butterfly wings, it happened a year earlier.]
Jiang Yiyan originally had some filters in place when it came to Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities, but now she was so angry that she complained to Jiang Xin during the day and complained to Xu Kun at night.
Yes, Jiang Xin is in the drama again this time.
Jiang Xin plays the second female role in "Xiao Cui" this time. Compared with the third female role in "The Seven Fairies", she has taken a step forward. Unfortunately, she is still overshadowed by Jiang Yiyan.
Jiang Xin originally looked down on Jiang Yiyan, but this time, facing the arrogant Zhou Yumin, she felt a sense of solidarity with him, and their relationship became much closer unknowingly.
He also became familiar with Gan Wei and Yang Mi.
Although Yang Mi was angry that Gan Wei had taken away her Xiao Qian, after knowing Jia Yueting's background, she took advantage of Jiang Yiyan's initiative to win her over and approached Gan Wei without hesitation.
So the four of them quickly formed a small group with Gan Wei and Jiang Yiyan as the core, and went out to get together from time to time. Jiang Yiyan was quite happy at first, thinking that this time was much smoother than the last time.
But she soon discovered that something was wrong. Rumors about Xu Kun and Yang Mi began to circulate in the crew at some point, and many people looked at her strangely.
This caught Jiang Yiyan off guard. Although she wanted to drag Yang Mi into this, she was like, "You can take what I give you, but I haven't given it to you yet, how can you just snatch it away?"
Xu Kun was also a little puzzled. Yang Mi was indeed more lively and enthusiastic on the set, and she interacted with him more than the real female lead Shu Chang.
But there was nothing that crossed the line between the two of them, so how come the rumors suddenly started?
If you have already eaten it, you can say something if people criticize you, but we haven’t eaten it yet, right?
He initially suspected that it was Yang Mi who did it, but after a private investigation he found no evidence; then he began to suspect Shu Chang, but it was soon proved that Shu Chang did not do it either.
The mystery was not revealed until Cai Yinong came to visit the crew.
"What's so strange about this?"
Cai Yinong spread his hands and said, "Didn't you agree to cooperate with the crew to hype it up? It just so happens that Rong Xinda also agreed to use Yang Mi for hype, so who else can they hype up if not the two of you?"
Xu Kun: “…”
After a long while, he said speechlessly: "Even if you want to hype it up, you should at least tell me, right?"
"Didn't I come?"
Cai Yinong still didn't take it seriously. Seeing Xu Kun's unhappy expression, she also frowned and said, "If you hadn't instigated Gan Wei to snatch Xiao Qian away, I would have arranged for Hu Ge to have a scandal with her. You ruined this good thing. How dare you complain!"
Got~
This is now my own fault.
While Xu Kun was speechless, Cai Yinong suddenly stuffed a pair of car keys into his hand and winked, "Wait in my car first, I'll give you a surprise later."
What does this mean?
After all, it was a friendship that had been measured personally, so although Xu Kun found it unlikely, he couldn't help but think in the wrong direction.
After hesitating for a while, he finally took the key and went to the hotel parking lot, but did not approach Cai Yinong's car. Instead, he stood far away in the corner, waiting to see what tricks Cai Yinong was going to play.
As a result, more than ten minutes later, Xu Kun saw Shu Chang coming alone to Cai Yinong's business car and looking inside suspiciously.
Is this Cai Yinong’s surprise?
Shu Chang had always been indifferent to me on the set, but I didn't expect that...
Xu Kun suppressed his surprise and walked over to greet him, "Shu Chang, what are you doing?"
Shu Chang was obviously startled. Seeing that it was Xu Kun, he looked around uncomfortably. Seeing that there was no one around, he took a half step back cautiously and said, "My cousin is coming to the crew to make a guest appearance. When President Cai heard about it, he asked me to take her car to the crew to pick her up."
As he spoke, he looked at the windshield in front of him in confusion, as if wondering why the driver was not inside.
Tsk~
So that's what happened.
Needless to say, Cai Yinong must have arranged reporters at the airport in advance. Once photos of the two of them picking up each other at the airport were taken, she could hype up a love triangle first and then come forward to clarify the facts.
Xu Kun was a little speechless, and shook the car keys in his hand at her: "Can you drive?"
Shu Chang widened her beautiful eyes in confusion, then shook her head vigorously and said, "I'm not even 18 yet."
This woman is really sinning by taking advantage of even minors!
Xu Kun took out his cell phone and called Jiang Yiyan, then threw the car keys to Shu Chang, asking her to wait here obediently, and went back to settle the score with Cai Yinong.
