Chapter 257: The Iron-willed Chen He (corrected)
Tang Lingli's voice was already shrill, but this one was so shocking that it almost penetrated the entire studio. Walking behind Shen Yutong and Tang Lingli were several other male and female supporting actors. They were not as impatient as the two girls. They were talking and laughing when they suddenly heard Tang Lingli's scream from in front of them. After looking at each other in shock, They couldn't help but speed up their pace.
There are a total of five dressing rooms in this area. In addition to the dedicated dressing room for the female lead Xia Xiwei, there is also the No. 2 dressing room that is reserved for the leading male actor according to unspoken rules. There are three dressing rooms shared by other actors, including one that can accommodate A large dressing room for six people, and two separate dressing rooms that can only accommodate one person.
At this moment, at the door of the independent dressing room No. 3, they saw Shen Yutong's assistant sitting on the utility box in the corridor, covering his waist and lowering his head. His expression could not be seen clearly, but his body was trembling slightly.
On the other side, through the open door of the dressing room, Tang Lingli's new assistant, a woman named Zhao Yan, was also sitting on the ground in a miserable state. The dressing table behind her was knocked into a mess.
When they arrived, Tang Lingli had already rushed over. After helping Zhao Yan up, she turned to look at Shen Yutong angrily.
"Shen Yutong, are you crazy? You dare to commit murder here!"
"Mr. Tang, why don't you ask your assistant first what he did..."
Shen Yutong also knew that she was a little impulsive, but she was not too Regretful, even if she had to do it over again, she would still make the same choice.
She could swallow her anger towards Tang Lingli, and it was okay to suffer a little loss, but she could not tolerate her sister being bullied.
At this time, Zhao Yan, who had regained her breath, hurriedly said angrily: "What did I do! Huh? It's obviously your assistant who doesn't know what to do. I told her that there was already someone in the dressing room, and she still insisted on it.
"Shen Yutong, did you hear that ?"
Tang Lingli immediately said with a sneer, "I tell you, you must not only apologize to Sister Yan publicly, but also compensate her." Otherwise, this matter will never end!"
Shen Yutong took a deep breath, then turned around and walked to Shen Yurou, asking softly: "Sister, how are you?"
"No, it's okay? ..."
Shen Yurou also calmed down at this time. She shook her head, indicating that nothing was wrong with her.
"Sister, tell me, what happened just now?"
Seeing that Shen Yurou had woken up, Shen Yutong continued to ask.
She didn't believe Zhao Yan's words at all, because she knew Shen Yurou's temperament too well. He was kind and weak. How could he be the kind of person who would easily argue with others?
If this were the case, she would never have married Liu Chao in the first place, and it would be even more impossible for her to swallow her anger and maintain the superficial harmony after so many years...
"I, I asked the makeup artist when I came here, and she said these makeup All rooms were available, so I directly chose dressing room No. 3, but while I was still waiting inside, this... Sister Yan suddenly broke in and told me that there was already someone here..."
Shen Yurou said When she got here, she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Yan, but quickly lowered her head in fear and whispered:
"I, I refused to give in, she scolded me, and finally, she pushed me..."
When Shen Yutong heard this, she realized that it was the other party who was confusing right and wrong. She immediately stood up angrily and looked directly at Zhao Yan:
"So who is the ungrateful person? It was my sister who arrived in the dressing room No. 3 first. You Forget about robbing, you still took action, and later put all the blame on my sister, how shameless are you?"
At this time, several supporting actors who were watching the excitement heard this, and they already roughly understood what happened, and they Even Chen He, who had not spoken much, knew it well.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, even in the modeling industry.
In addition to Xia Xiwei's dedicated dressing room and the No. 2 dressing room booked by the male lead, it is obvious that the No. 3 dressing room is the best among the remaining dressing rooms.
Although in name, these dressing rooms are nothing more than a "first come, first served" system. In theory, whoever comes first gets to use the better one, but the factors inside are definitely not that simple.
Because in the final analysis, this involves an invisible thing, but it is something that everyone in the entertainment industry is pursuing -
"coffee position".
Just these two words are like bait on a fishing rod, attracting countless people to jump in, even fighting to the death.
Take the three remaining dressing rooms in front of us as an example. If given the choice, who would want to go to a public dressing room and squeeze in with others?
Being able to use a separate dressing room is a reflection of the crew's status.
However, among the male and female supporting actors, if you want to talk about seniority, the most senior one is undoubtedly the second female lead Yang Hongni. But the interesting thing is that Yang Hongni rarely occupies the dressing room No. 3. She usually chooses to go It's a little bit worse, but it's also an independent dressing room No. 4.
Ever since, Dressing Room No. 3 has become a place where the remaining actors are invisibly fighting over each other.
But generally, they have a relatively tacit understanding. The boys have to maintain their demeanor and are afraid of being "punched to death" if exposed, so the chance of them openly competing with the girls is very low.
Among the female actors, although Shen Yutong is the third female actor and Tang Lingli herself is only the fourth female actor, Shen Yutong is a newcomer to Chi Guoguo's entertainment industry.
Tang Lingli herself didn't have a serious academic background, she just filmed a few short plays, but with the director behind her, she naturally had a psychological advantage, and she didn't take Shen Yutong seriously at all.
After several trials, Shen Yutong showed humility, and Tang Lingli did not take the other party seriously. This is why she dared to cynicize Shen Yutong in person after she was "late".
There is another unknown reason... The director originally promised her the role of the third female lead, but this role was snatched by Shen Yutong who suddenly landed in the air, and she was reduced to the fourth female lead.
Director Xu Youguang had nothing to do about this. After all, she was the female partner designated by Wuyou Media, the second largest investor. However, Xu Youguang would not be afraid of Shen Yutong because of this, so he let Tang Lingli target Shen Yutong.
...Just think of it as venting her grievances, otherwise Tang Lingli would always talk about it on her pillow, and Xu Youguang would also be very annoyed.
From Xu Youguang's perspective, as long as Tang Lingli didn't go too far, he would turn a blind eye.
As for what will happen to Shen Yutong, he is not too worried -
if he has to worry about all the actors who can come here without background, he will not be able to do this job. The only one he needs to please and be careful with is Xia Xiwei That's all.
When Shen Yutong pointed at her nose and scolded her as "shameless", let alone Zhao Yan's face, even Tang Lingli's expression changed again.
In the entertainment industry, agents and assistants are one with celebrities. Shen Yutong scolding Zhao Yan, whether Shen Yutong realizes this or not, is tantamount to scolding her.
The truth of the matter is not important to Tang Lingli at all. What is important is that she cannot give in at this time.
"Shen Yutong, please clean your mouth!"
Tang Lingli took two steps forward and cursed fiercely: "You are a woman who climbed into someone's bed to get to the top. What qualifications do you have to say that others are shameless? You are the most shameless one, right?"
Shen Yutong never expected that Tang Lingli would suddenly change the topic. She was caught off guard and her face turned red, "You, what are you talking about..."
"What, did I say something wrong?"
Tang Lingli sneered: "How else could you, a sophomore at the Art Institute with no acting experience, be able to play the third female lead in a hit drama as soon as you debut? Who doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes..."
Tang Lingli also got involved, totally Forgetting Xu Youguang's warning to be careful, she just said it out loud regardless.
Several young actors who came to watch the excitement did not expect that Tang Lingli would bring this kind of thing to the table. They were a little surprised for a while, but it was nothing to do with them, and their meal became more enjoyable.
"Tang Lingli is crazy. No matter how good Shen Yutong is, she is recommended by Wuyou Media, the second largest investor. If she says this, doesn't it mean that she has offended the investor?"
"It's hard to say, I still want to I asked someone to inquire, and it turns out that Shen Yutong is definitely not related to the boss of Wuyou Media. No one in the circles in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai has ever seen her..."
Yang Hongni said nothing, while the second male lead and the third male lead were talking in low voices.
Chen He, who originally just wanted to watch the excitement, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Is Shen Yutong also working with Wuyou Media?
For some reason, Chen He suddenly felt that something was not right.
After thinking about it, Chen He quietly walked aside. After staying away from the hustle and bustle for a while, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Hey, Director Lin, it's me, Chen He, hahaha, are you busy..."
The person Chen He called was Lin Feng, the casting director of the "Chu Tianyao" crew, who helped him handle it all. The main person responsible for performing arts contracts.
Although the casting director belongs to the directing team, his job is not actually a "director". It is classified as a "personnel" part. Before the crew starts filming, he must be one of the busiest people.
A TV series with an investment of over 100 million yuan involves not only the main characters, but also countless supporting roles and supporting roles. The casting director has the decision-making power for these characters.
Even a director who is very hands-on would not be able to select each of these characters whose total footage does not exceed a few minutes. At this time, the role of the casting director becomes prominent.
When Chen He called, Lin Feng was still conducting interviews in a hotel in Mingcheng, which mainly involved the selection of several maids.
If he were an ordinary person, he might be impatient. After all, the item he was auditioning for this time was "Spoken Language", and the girl who came to audition was doing her best to perform her "eloquent speech"...
But because the target was Chen He, Lin Feng still He endured it and responded with a very polite smile:
"Hello, Chen He, hello, what can I do?"
"Director Lin, I just want to ask you, did you know that Shen Yutong can join the crew? Did you get someone's recommendation?"
Chen He thought for a while and asked more directly.
But these words obviously confused Lin Feng. He asked in shock, "Ah, don't you know?"
"Why would I know?"
Chen He was also confused.
"You are all recommended by Mr. Zhou. I thought you knew each other, but it turns out you are not familiar with each other either..."
Lin Feng said in surprise.
"You said Shen Yutong...is Mr. Zhou's employee?"
Chen He said in shock.
"Yes, I called Mr. Zhou personally at that time. She and Mr. Zhou were together at that time. Haha... Didn't Mr. Zhou tell you?"
"Don't call me Teacher Chen, just call me Xiao Chen!"
Chen He quickly waved his hands and said, "Is that not possible? I'm just a warm-hearted person. , I just can't stand these things. Teacher Shen, please don't have any psychological burden!"
Shen Yutong gritted his teeth, "Well, Teacher Chen, please wait for me to make a call... But I don't know if it can be done. All I can say is give it a try."
After finally hearing what he wanted to hear, Chen He breathed a sigh of relief, and his anxious heart returned to his stomach.
After all, he was actually afraid that if Shen Yutong suddenly refused to recognize him at this time, then all his efforts would be in vain.
Although Chen He was not too worried. After all, although he had not dealt with hot men very often, Chen He could feel that the other party should still be very committed...
"The inexplicable magnanimity brought about by the other party's money".
However, from Shen Yutong's tone, she seemed to be a little unsure about whether Zhou Wang could resolve the matter, or was it that they were not actually in that kind of relationship?
Chen He muttered in his heart.
No way...
But no matter what, there is no turning back when the bow is fired. Now Chen He can only rely on that his judgment is not wrong.
...
When Zhou Wang received Shen Yutong's call, a key game of Landlords was going on.
Zhou Wang was sitting alone in the Costa Mona Lisa's seven-seater business car. Opposite the table were sisters Yun Rou and Yun Lan, who looked nervous but also shy.
The sitting postures of the two sisters are also very similar, with their long smooth legs tightly held between them, huddled on the seats.
The reason is also very simple. At this time, all they have left is a silk round-neck shirt.
On the seats next to them, you can see the stockings, bras, bow ties, panties and other clothing they took off.
The blouses of just the right size can barely cover their youthful bodies, but the curves are undulating, and there is always beauty that flashes past inadvertently, or occasionally, when they unconsciously straighten their backs and read the cards, there are mountains and mountains. The peak appeared, making Zhou Wang unable to concentrate on playing cards.
Well, luckily this is the last one.
As long as they win this, Zhou Wang can return them to their innocence... and their unrestrained state.
This has nothing to do with Sese, it is purely due to the man's sense of accomplishment and desire to win or lose.
Just when Zhou Wang was thinking about how to take advantage of the bad cards in his hand and use the psychological tactics of bluffing to win the hand steadily, Shen Yutong's call came in.
Zhou Wang was a little surprised. He didn't tell Shen Yutong about his trip to Baicheng today. He wanted to give her a surprise. Did she know about it in advance?
After all, given Shen Yutong's temperament, this was the first time he called Zhou Wang. Normally, being able to send a message was considered a sign of courage.
After she helped Zhou Wang last time, she increased the frequency of her greetings. But to Zhou Wang's dismay, she still couldn't change her habit of being careful. The prefix of her messages was always "Did I bother you?" ", or if Zhou Wang didn't reply for more than 10 minutes, she would add a suffix like "No need to reply, I'm going to work"...
"Hello, Tongtong?"
When Zhou Wang answered the phone, the two sisters asked. He couldn't help but hold his breath, and his movements became lighter.
Shen Yutong on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, as if he was not used to Zhou Wang's affectionate address, and then whispered:
"Zhou Wang, did I call..."
"I'm very free, and I was just thinking. You, you can say whatever you want, as long as you want."
"..."
Shen Yutong was stuck again.
After a few seconds, Zhou Wang suddenly heard the sound of sobbing. Although it was very faint, it could not be hidden from him.
"Are you crying?" Zhou Wang couldn't help but frown.
"No, no... I'm touched... Zhou Wang, thank you."
Shen Yutong subconsciously wanted to deny it, but knew it was false and quickly explained.
"So what is going on?"
At this time, Zhou Wang had realized that Shen Yutong probably didn't know that he was going to Baicheng and was here for other reasons.
"Just... I had a little conflict with another actor in the group today. My sister..."
Shen Yutong must have drafted the manuscript in advance. Although the words were stumbling, the logic was still clear, so after a while, Zhou Wang Already listened to the whole thing.
"You said that the person who helped you... was a man named Chen He?"
Zhou Wang was a little stunned.
"Yes, he is the third male lead in our drama. He is a very honest and enthusiastic person. So, Zhou Wang, can you..."
"Don't worry, I heard it."
After hearing Shen Yutong's evaluation of Chen He, Zhou Wang looked a little weird, and then he comforted Shen Yutong:
"It's okay, you can do your own thing in peace, I will solve it."
"Okay."
Shen Yutong didn't ask Zhou Wang how to solve it, but heard Zhou Wang say this She immediately breathed a sigh of relief at the cheerful response.
"Then hang up first, I have something else to do..."
"Okay..."
Shen Yutong became a little disappointed.
"By the way, I'll take a shower if I have time today."
"Okay... ah?"
Shen Yutong became a little confused again.
But Zhou Wang didn't explain any more and just hung up the phone.
When he rolled up his sleeves and focused on the cards again, he realized that because of his distraction just now, the situation had become irreversible. The two sisters were eating and looking at him and laughing...
"Damn, Forget it, accept it, I lost..."
Zhou Wang had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and send a red envelope to each of the two sisters, and then signaled that they could get dressed.
When Yun Rou and Yun Lan ran into the car with their clothes and legs between their legs, Zhou Wang thought for a while, took out his cell phone and made another call.
"Hey, Lao Ruan, I have something to tell you..."
...
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Costa Mona Lisa slowly drove into the urban area of ??Baicheng Prefecture. Miao Ying drove the car into a store called " "Day and night shadow" in the sea view restaurant.
When I got off the bus, a young man in fashionable clothes who seemed to have been waiting for a long time came up to me with a smile.
"Brother Dog, it's obviously not that long, but maybe you have made too much noise during this period. It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Brother Wei, we meet again."
Zhou Wang smiled and talked to him After giving him a hug, he said, "I'm sorry, I asked you to make a special trip, but I may really need your help today."
The young man is Ruan Jinghong's cousin Ruan Jingwei. Zhou Wang suffered the pain the last time he went to Belvedere. He entertained me and kept in touch with me from time to time.
The Xinghui Tourism (Belvedere) company run by Ruan Jingwei also covers Baicheng, Shangri-La, etc. After all, these places are all on the same line, and people who come to visit rarely go to just one place.
"I understand, don't worry, Brother Dog, I fully support you!"
Ruan Jinghong immediately said, patting his chest.
At this time, people who had been waiting in the restaurant for a while saw Costa appear and hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Mr. Zhou, you are so excited!"
From a distance, the laughter of Mr. Ma of Daxia Film and Television came over.
"Mr. Ma..."
Zhou Wang came up to him. After shaking hands with Mr. Ma tightly, he said with a smile,
"I have a heartfelt request."
"Oh?"
Ma Yuan was surprised, then laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou, just say it!"
"Let's change the director."
Zhou Wang said with a smile.
