Chapter 8:

Xia Hong guessed that Chu Xiaxin might have an accident on the crew. He originally thought it was an acting problem or a conflict with other actors, but how did he fight the director?
There was also someone stationed in the crew in the company, and he reluctantly reported to Xia Hong: "Mr. Xia, in fact, you can't call it off, but now everyone doesn't listen to Director Wang..."
The subtext is that when Chu Xiaxin launched a coup to seize power in the crew, Director Wang was a bit helpless.
Xia Hong said in surprise: "But isn't he a director? He is already a director of the crew, and others don't want to listen to him?"
To be honest, Xia Hong didn't know much about the crew. He always felt that the director was like the general manager. The people underneath should execute orders honestly, but didn't want the crew to be different from the company.
Because of Chu Xiaxin's unique identity, Xia Hong was not sure about it now, and simply called Song Wenye.
In the crew, Director Wang used the power of the company to report to President Xia. The news that the producer was about to visit the scene soon spread, and everyone did not know who would win in the struggle between the two factions. It stands to reason that Chu Xiaxin seems to have a background background, but some people say that she is not close to President Xia, and the result is confusing.
Li Jing worried: "Sister, we should have done nothing wrong?"
Chu Xiaxing calmly said: "I haven't breached the contract, and the scene is being shot well. It's obviously he can't afford it, so what can we do wrong?"
Director Wang himself said, "You do it, you go," then she wouldn't be obedient.
Cao Yangang said helplessly: "But your relationship with Director Wang is so stale, how will you shoot next?"
Chu Xiaxing said relaxedly: "Then stop filming and rush to produce bad movies, lest the audience won't be sick?"
Cao Yangang panicked: "This is my first play!"
Chu Xiaxing squinted at him, she was quite amused when she heard the words, and asked in a row: "Don't you think you can cut it after the filming? It can be successfully released after it is cut out? If it is released online, it can be well received? There are so many companies every year. Backlog of dramas, if this drama can go online, it will be good for you!"
"...It's heartbreaking." Cao Yangang was speechless after listening, and he couldn't help but muffled his voice, "but you are so courageous, you dare to confront the director."
Chu Xiaxing said indifferently: "What is courage? Directors are divided into three, six or nine grades. There are directors who have filmed 100,000 plays, and directors who have filmed hundreds of millions of plays. Can you say that the two are the same?
"Others in the crew call you'guide' respectfully. That is to pretend to be polite for your work, but if you can't show any real skills, who will take care of you after you are finished?" Chu Xia Xing sneered. Everyone is working together now, and after leaving, they will go to different places, and who can find someone else?"
The crew is different from the company. If it is not a long-term team, after the 1-6 months of filming, they may not meet again for a lifetime. Many crew members met briefly, worked together for a while, and then completely lost contact.
Chu Xiaxing has experienced too many similar encounters, struggles, and partings. She has seen countless people in the crew, but the names she remembers are quite limited.
Chu Xia Xingyu said with enthusiasm: "You will understand later that the crew is like a micro-condensed society, where good and bad are mixed, there are main creators who can make tens of millions, and there are field workers who can only make a few thousand. There are famous schools. There are also farmers who have graduated from overseas returnees who don’t know how to write..."
"Some people are still making scene notes today, and they became directors within two years, and some people can still receive the scenes, and no one cares about them after a while. It's just a moment after falling from the clouds into the quagmire." Chu Xiaxing The tone is calm, "So the success or failure of a play is nothing, the key is not to waste time in the crew."
"Don't waste other people's time, otherwise you will be like Director Wang, and don't waste your own time, making a foolish filming in a muddle-headed manner."
This is the truth that Chu Xiaxing has summed up over the years. The crew is an extremely competitive place, and only people with real skills and brains can survive for a long time.
Just after hearing this, Cao Yan was stunned for a moment. He stared at Chu Xiaxing blankly, thinking about her words and deeds, and suddenly shouted: "Otherwise you will be my master!"
Assistant Li Jing stood beside Chu Xiaxing. She was startled by Cao Yangang's voice. She didn't understand his sudden proposal, and she was at a loss for a while: "?"
Cao Yangang seemed to be stunned, his eyes flashed out, and he was quite firm and said: "I am serious! I feel that you know the crew better than I, and you are also very good at acting, otherwise you will be my master. Follow you!"
When Cao Yan first joined the group, he actually wanted to learn something from Director Wang, but now he finds that Chu Xiaxing is better, especially when she was filming yesterday, she spoke in a very orderly manner and far surpassed Director Wang. He didn't want to mess around in a muddle-headed manner, but he had never been able to find a reliable guide, and now he seemed to see the light.
Li Jing muttered: "This is strange, you are older than her..."
Chu Xiaxing also shook his head decisively: "Forget it."
Cao Yan just hurriedly said: "This is not surprising, don't mind that I am older than you! Whoever acts well is the boss, I really want to learn from you!"
Chu Xiaxing was silent for a moment, and said honestly: "No, I don't care about your age, I care about your aptitude, your talent is really average."
Cao Yangang: "..." Is it so direct! ?
Chu Xiaxing can't be ignorant of his conscience and say that Cao Yangang is bound to be a big hit, and sometimes actors are indeed for God to enjoy food, and everyone's upper limit is different.
Cao Yangang was brutally beaten by Truth, but he still persisted and said: "I know my talent is not good, but I will work hard! Others can master it once, I can practice a hundred or a thousand times, as long as you are willing Teach, I will definitely study hard!"
Chu Xiaxing: "..." That's what I said, but I have no patience to teach you a hundred or a thousand times?
Chu Xiaxing never expected that one day she would be entangled by a silly boy from the crew, and Cao Yangang seemed to be determined to apprentice a teacher, so he would learn art from her wholeheartedly. She had also met young actors who were clever-minded before, and they tried every means to recognize her as a godmother and ask for resources, but they really hadn’t had a naive type like Cao Yangang.
Cao Yangang's head is not smart, and his speech is not very pleasing. He is a little clumsy to apprentice, and he does things quite old-fashioned, serving tea and water every day to do coolies. Chu Xiaxing is very easy to send clever and slick children, but she is the most difficult to deal with such stupid children, and she feels a headache for a while.
As long as Chu Xiaxing appeared on the set, Cao Yangang would greet him with warmth and be ready, put on a respectful apprentice attitude, and stubbornly refused to give up his dream of apprenticeship!
Not long after, assistant Li Jing was depressed and complained: "He has done my work. I have a bad salary for white-collar workers."
Li Jing was originally doing chores for Chu Xiaxing, but Cao Yangang is now going to take care of her, leaving her facing a crisis of being laid off.
Chu Xiaxing sighed when she saw this. She finally couldn't get through Cao Yangang's soft and hard bubble, and reluctantly suggested: "You don't want to be a teacher. Since you call me the boss, I will definitely teach you during the group. You can figure it out later. You have to rely on yourself, can you?"
Chu Xiaxing definitely can't teach Cao Yangang for a lifetime. At most, she has time to teach during the shooting. The next step depends on his own destiny.
When Cao Yan heard that she was willing to teach, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Good, good, no problem! You will be the boss in the future, I will definitely listen to you!"
To celebrate that he found the boss, Cao Yangang also specially invited Chu Xiaxing and Li Jing to dinner, and they arranged in a small restaurant not far from the set. Chu Xiaxing didn't refuse any more this time. She knew that after the meal, Cao Yangang felt at ease in her heart. This was also a human rule.
The crew is stationed in a remote suburb. This is a small filming base that can accommodate a small number of crews. The surrounding restaurants are also quite rudimentary. You can occasionally see actors and staff from other crews. If you are tired of the crew’s boxed lunches, you will be here for a sacred ritual. Fortunately, the ingredients are quite fresh and you don’t have a taste.
Although Cao Yangang is stupid, he is really not bad-hearted. Even in the face of assistant Li Jing, he is very polite when dealing with people and will not see people off the table.
After Chu Xiaxing found out his character, she didn't hide her privately at the dinner table, she poured out the experience in her head, but she didn't know how much the other party could absorb in the end.
The three people talked happily at the table. They left the restaurant after they were full of juice and meal, and walked back slowly in the face of the cool night breeze.
Li Jing said with emotion: "This fish is delicious."
Cao Yangang said enthusiastically: "Then come back tomorrow! It is said that beer chicken is also delicious!"
Chu Xiaxing glanced at him and said faintly: "You are still eating, you are an actor, you don't just follow me to learn, at least you must stay in shape."
Chu Xiaxing looked at Cao Yangang critically. Although she was willing to teach him his acting skills, in her opinion he was still far behind.
Cao Yangang felt aggrieved, he looked at himself blankly, and muttered: "Boss, you can say that I have a normal face, but my body shape is okay..."
Chu Xiaxing bluntly said: "Then we estimate that our'okay' standard is different."
The actor's body control is far beyond that of ordinary people. Chu Xiaxing's vision is naturally extremely high. She has seen too many handsome men and beautiful women.
Cao Yangang is now getting acquainted with her, and he confidently said: "Look at the people around you, few people are better than me!"
Chu Xiaxing: "..." Compared to passersby as an actor, it is really outrageous.
Chu Xiaxing was originally too lazy to talk to Cao Yangang, but she suddenly saw a handsome, well-groomed man on the street. This man could not find fault with his appearance and size, and did not know which cast member the other party was a young actor. Suddenly she caught the kid who teased the child. handle.
She was in a good mood after the meal, and she whistled leisurely and jokingly said: "Look at people, if you grow up like this, you still need to learn from me? You can eat with your face!"
"Where? Where?" Cao Yangang looked back in disbelief. After seeing the other person's appearance, he was suddenly weak, and said, "Forget it, I really can't count on my face, I still rely on strength... "
The three of them chatted as they walked, they didn't even stay in front of passers-by, but the conversation still drifted into each other's ears.
Song Wenye has never been to the crew. He is waiting for Xia Hong who is late, but now he is a little confused: "?"
