Chapter 339 No delay
December 2006, 10.
On this day, outside the city of Shenyang, firecrackers were blasted and drums and music were resounding. The crew of "Assembly" officially held a start-up ceremony. Local leaders attached great importance to it and even sent the city's deputy secretary-general to attend in person.
However, Feng Xiaogang was not in a very good mood, with a gloomy face. Except for Wang Zhonglei, Chen Guofu and Xu Kun, no one dared to get within three feet of him.
As the male lead and first assistant director of the crew, Xu Kun certainly understood why Feng Xiaogang was unhappy.
By this time of year in previous years, the Northeast would have been covered with snow, but this year it is still snowing as early as November, and according to the weather forecast, there seems to be no sign of snow in the near future.
This made Feng Xiaogang very anxious.
Not only did blisters appear at the corners of his mouth, but the vitiligo on his body also worsened a lot. Xu Fan was worried, so he came to Shenyang to take care of him.
Deputy Chen Guo looked at the sky and suggested, "Let's shoot the indoor scenes first. If there is no snow by November, we can only use artificial means to replace it."
Feng Xiaogang muttered and cursed when he heard this.
Because the performance of "The Banquet" was not ideal, he poured all his efforts into "Assembly" in advance. All the costumes and props were restored one-to-one by experts, almost to the point of nitpicking.
As a result, the snow scene can only be created by artificial means...
Wang Zhonglei quietly reminded him, "Old Feng, let's talk about other things later. Let's get the opening ceremony done first. We can't keep the leaders waiting for too long."
"What kind of leader is that? He is at most a deputy director-general level..."
Feng Xiaogang grumbled, but still tried to cheer himself up and walked towards the prepared 'altar'.
As a result, after walking a few steps, a discordant and cheerful voice came from the diagonal below: "I know, don't worry, I will definitely keep warm..."
Feng Xiaogang stopped and looked over with an unfriendly look, then saw Deng Chao holding up a cell phone with an excited look on his face.
Seeing that he was still unaware that Feng Xiaogang had been watching him, Xu Kun hurriedly shouted, "Brother Chao, the opening ceremony is about to begin, hurry up!"
Deng Chao agreed verbally but was still reluctant to hang up the phone. He waved his hand to indicate that he would be there soon, then walked away and continued calling.
Feng Xiaogang snorted in annoyance, but for Xu Kun's sake he didn't pursue the matter and walked towards the altar again.
"Director Feng."
At this time Huang Xiaoming, Hu Jun and Wang Baoqiang came up to say hello, and then silently joined the team.
After exchanging pleasantries with the deputy secretary-general, several local official media reporters from Shenyang rushed over and began the interview.
Feng Xiaogang chose to start filming in a low-key manner in Shenyang, also because he did not want to be disturbed by the media, but it was not easy to offend these local bosses, especially in front of the Deputy Secretary-General.
So he tried his best to push the topic to Xu Kun and Huang Xiaoming. Compared with Huang Xiaoming, Xu Kun, the protagonist, naturally received more and greater attention.
He almost took up more than half of the topics.
When I finally got away from the crowd of reporters, I saw Deng Chao walking towards me with a silly smile on his face.
"Brother Chao, are you picking up gold?"
Xu Kun teased in a bad mood, but he didn't expect Deng Chao to nod his head: "I have been chasing after her for two years, and finally I have warmed up this piece of gold!"
It took them nearly two years to enter the passionate love period. In the "quick in and quick out" entertainment industry, he and Sun Li can be considered rare slow-tempered people.
"I can see that your ears are all red from covering them."
“That’s frozen!”
After Deng Chao made the correction, he said happily, "She told me to pay attention to the temperature difference between the two places and bring an extra set of clothes when I take the plane..."
“Wait, wait!”
Xu Kun interrupted him and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by temperature difference between two places? If you are not doing analysis in the crew, where else do you want to go?"
"Didn't I tell you before? I've taken on other jobs, so I have to run back and forth lately."
"Are you playing a role?"
Seeing Xu Kun's unhappy face, Deng Chao hurriedly explained: "Director Feng knew about this a long time ago. Don't worry, there are no scenes for me in the early stage. Once I finish that, I can concentrate on filming "Assembly"."
"It's better this way." Xu Kun shook his head speechlessly. Feng Xiaogang is not a good-tempered person. His nickname is 'Little Cannon'. If the filming goes smoothly, it's fine. If it's bumpy...
"rest assured."
Deng Chao was full of confidence: "I have planned everything out, I guarantee that I will not miss the important task!"
I don't know whether the serious matter he was talking about was about making a movie or about his lifelong event.
Actually, he and Baoqiang are quite similar. They both dream of living a life with a wife, children and a warm bed. The only difference is that one wants to find someone outside the circle, while the other specifically looks for someone within the circle.
At this time, Zhang Hanyu raised a loud speaker and called out to everyone, and everyone gathered in front of the "altar".
Because there are many explosion special effects to be used, Feng Xiaogang also used three animals this time. Looking at the bull head in the center, Xu Kun couldn't help but recall his experience in the Shanxi mine.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of swallowing saliva behind him. Turning back, he saw that it was indeed Baoqiang who made the sound.
The two brothers smiled at each other, and Xu Kun mouthed: I will arrange for someone to make beef sliced noodles for us later.
In addition to being the leading actor, he is also the first assistant director, so it is natural for him to have a good grasp on arranging such matters.
After the opening ceremony was over and the local leaders were seen off, Feng Xiaogang took Chen Guofu, Xu Kun, Huang Xiaoming, Hu Jun and others to discuss the scenes to be filmed today.
"Old Feng~"
At this time, a voice came from the nanny car parked on the side of the road: "It's time to take medicine!"
"It's really troublesome!"
Feng Xiaogang muttered to himself, tightened his coat, and walked towards the nanny car.
About two or three minutes later, Feng Xiaogang didn't get out of the car, but Xu Fan got out. He walked over and apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry, I asked a doctor to check him, so it may take a while."
"It's okay. Director Feng's health is the most important thing."
Deputy producer Chen Guo smiled faintly.
In fact, his position in the crew is a bit awkward. Feng Xiaogang does not recognize the title of "producer". He is the only one who has the final say in the crew of "Assembly".
Xu Kun gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister Fan, Director Feng marrying you is the greatest blessing in this life."
Women care about the way they address each other more than men, so Xu Kun always calls her "sister".
"Stop talking to me."
Xu Fan glanced at Xu Kun and suddenly thought of something, so he said to everyone, "You guys go about your business. I want to talk to Xu Kun about something."
As he said this, he motioned Xu Kun to follow him to the corner.
"Sister Fan, what's wrong?"
Xu Kun was a little confused. Could it be that he was asking him about Feng Xiaogang's romantic affairs?
Should I keep my mouth shut or refuse to confess even if I am beaten to death?
But Xu Fan asked quietly: "What's going on between you and Chen Hong?"
"what?"
Xu Kun had never expected this to happen, and what relationship could there be between him and Chen Hong?
Xu Fan glared and said, "Don't pretend with me. I saw that when she mentioned you earlier, her expression was a little strange. Something must have happened between you two!"
"This……"
If you say nothing happened, that would be misleading, but just that little accident on the stage, Mrs. Chen can't possibly remember it until now, right?
Xu Kun was complaining in his heart, but he complained: "What can happen between me and Mrs. Chen? It's nothing more than a quarrel on the set. It was obviously Chen Kaige who targeted me first, but her attitude was as if I should apologize to Chen Kaige."
"It's really nothing?"
Xu Fan didn't find anything unusual about Xu Kun, so he said with relief: "Maybe she is holding a grudge - she is like that, she thinks that if she can tie up Chen Kaige, everyone will flatter her."
