Chapter 254 Hengdian
"Haha, okay, I will definitely design the right characters in the next two days. By the way, you guys are playing in Hengdian, why don't I let my assistant stay with you for a few days and take you there in the next two days."
Wu Jing nodded, but immediately thought of arranging an outing for Du Ruo.
"No, we can just go shopping by ourselves. There's no need to ask anyone to come. It's fine for us to just walk around by ourselves."
Du Ruo refused directly. They still liked to play at their own pace. It didn’t matter if they played less. They enjoyed the process. It would always be uncomfortable to have more people.
Wu Jing no longer forced him to do so.
Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan quickly returned to their rooms. Xiang Yuanyuan was indeed tired, but she still insisted on completing today's practice before falling asleep.
The next morning, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan had just finished washing up and went out when they saw a man waiting at the elevator outside the door.
"Hello Mr. Du, I'm Jing's driver. He asked me to give you this. Oh, and this is my phone number. Sometimes Jing's phone number is not accessible, so you can call me and I'll pass on the message."
The man was tall, but he bent slightly when he spoke and smiled in a friendly manner. He handed a small work badge to Du Ruo and also a card with his phone number written on it.
"Okay, thank you, thank you for your hard work."
After Du Ruo took these things, he thanked them very normally.
"Of course, of course. If you have any questions, feel free to call me. By the way, this document is a pass. Brother Jing went to get it yesterday. With this, you can enter all the scenic spots except those where movies are being filmed. Of course, if there are any attractions you are interested in, you can also say hello to Brother Jing and he will help you arrange it."
After the man explained, he quickly helped Du Ruo press the elevator button, then sent Du Ruo to the elevator. He was still nodding outside the elevator until it closed.
"This Wu Jing is quite good. For such a big star, he is not only humble but also very thoughtful."
Xiang Yuanyuan said this casually, but she hugged Du Ruo's arm tightly. She was not stupid. She acted like this because Du Ruo was capable. If Du Ruo was an ordinary person, she would definitely not want to pay attention to them.
……
Hengdian is the place where countless TV dramas and movies are shot every year. Countless people come here to visit. Seeing the scenery is secondary. The biggest dream of these people is to meet big stars, and it would be even better if they could take photos with them.
After more than 20 years of development, Hengdian Film and Television City has occupied an increasingly large area. Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan tried to walk at the beginning, but it took too much time.
The two of them spent several hours visiting the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces nearby, and there were many other attractions to come.
Fortunately, the two were not in a hurry and walked around slowly.
I have to say that the pass Wu Jing gave the two of them was really useful. Not to mention the free attractions, they could enter them at will, and they didn't have to pay for the paid attractions. Even for some attractions that were being filmed, if the two of them just watched from a distance and didn't take pictures with their phones, no one would bother them at all.
For two consecutive days, Xiang Yuanyuan and Du Ruo traveled everywhere and checked in at the filming scenes of various well-known TV shows, but they didn't really see any big stars.
He had seen filming scenes a few times and had seen a few familiar stars from afar, but unfortunately Du Ruo didn't recognize any of them. The ones he thought were familiar were the actors from more than ten or twenty years ago. He didn't recognize any of the current idols.
In the past two days, they went out around 6:30 in the morning and came back around 6:00 in the evening, but they never met Wu Jing once.
Occasionally Du Ruo heard Wu Jing come back around two or three in the morning, but he also went out very early in the morning.
It can be seen that if you want to become famous and make money, you have to work hard. Either work hard or try hard to be born into a good family.
However, on the third day, Du Ruo took the initiative to call Wu Jing, and the phone rang for a long time before someone answered it.
"Master Du, how have you been these days? I was just about to call you at noon, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
Wu Jing was dirty and sweaty at this time. His wife was wiping his sweat off, and many staff members around him were working quietly.
They were just filming, but Wu Jing's wife was waving her cell phone at the side, and Wu Jing stopped filming and came over to answer the call.
The staff members were all very discerning and no one came over to disturb them. They all tried to keep quiet.
"Haha, we're having a great time, thanks to the pass you got for us. We've had a lot of fun these past two days. Do you have time tonight? Yuanyuan asked her family to send some medicinal wine over. You can bring your wife over when the time comes, and we'll have a drink and a midnight snack."
Du Ruo called about this matter. They drank a lot of the medicinal wine they brought with them when they were at the Taoist temple, and left some for Wang Ping.
This also resulted in Du Ruo not having enough to drink later, so he asked Xiang Yuanyuan's mother to send some more medicinal wine. Of course, he did not forget to send some to the Taoist temple. This was Du Ruo's way of repaying Wang Ping. After all, Du Ruo did learn a lot there.
Today, Du Ruo just received the medicinal wine sent by the prime minister's mother. Since he is now in Wu Jing, and regardless of Wu Jing's purpose for the time being, Wu Jing's hospitality is really impeccable. So Du Ruo might as well be generous and share some with Wu Jing.
"Haha, OK, then I'll finish work early today, and I can talk to you about the role as well."
Wu Jing was very impressed by the Xiang family's medicinal wine, so he readily agreed. In the evening, Du Ruo bought a lot of snacks in advance, and Wu Jing did finish work early. It can even be said that the evening shooting was postponed. Wu Jing only brought his wife over, and the four of them drank medicinal wine and chatted in the evening.
However, the four of them did not drink too much. After all, Wu Jing was not Du Ruo, who could drink medicinal wine as a daily ration. So after drinking some safflower wine that promoted blood circulation, the two chatted about some issues related to the filming roles. At the end of the drinking, Wu Jing, with a rosy face, took a bottle of safflower wine, left Du Ruo's room, and left a thin script.
Of course, since Du Ruo's role has been confirmed, Wu Jing, who is happy with his drink, decides to complete the filming of Du Ruo as soon as possible, which would be on the evening of the next day.
"Hey, honey, I have to be present at tomorrow's shoot."
After seeing Wu Jing and his wife off, Xiang Yuanyuan took the script on the table and read Du Ruo's lines over and over again, and finally spoke to Du Ruo excitedly.
That expression was as if it was her, not Du Ruo, who was going to film tomorrow night.
"Okay, okay, how can we leave you out? I'll talk to Wu Jing tomorrow and ask you to bring your phone in. You can take photos from the sidelines then, hehe."
Du Ruo smiled and then picked up the script in Xiang Yuanyuan's hand and started reading.
This is really the first time to film a movie. It can be said that this was my dream as an ordinary person. It is precisely because of this dream that Du Ruo is willing to spend time to complete it.
Now Du Ruo has everything he needs, but he has not traveled all over the beautiful mountains and rivers in the country, and there are still many things he has not experienced. Every experience he gets is rare for Du Ruo, so he cherishes it very much.
The role of Du Ruo is a complete supporting role. There is a gorgeous and high-end master who appears, and then has a small rivalry with the protagonist Wu Jing. However, after such a gorgeous and high-profile appearance, he dies miserably not long after. The reversal is very strong.
Du Ruo was very satisfied with this. It could be seen that the screenwriter also put some thought into it.
At the same time, I am looking forward to going to the shooting site tomorrow, so that I can see how the filming is done.
In order to shoot these scenes well, Xiang Yuanyuan even stopped going out to play during the day, and instead accompanied Du Ruo to analyze how to act.
But it's really... a bit funny for two outsiders to figure it out on their own.
In the afternoon, Wu Jing's driver, the man who gave Du Ruo the pass last time, came early to pick up Du Ruo.
Even though Du Ruo's performance was scheduled for the evening, he still had to go there early, after all, he still had to put on makeup and so on.
"Master Du, you're here. Brother Jing is filming a movie and asked me to come pick you up."
When Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan arrived at the shooting site, the villain in the movie, Ajun from last time, immediately came over to greet Du Ruo.
"It won't delay your filming."
Du Ruo also greeted with a smile.
"Don't delay. I don't have any scenes to play. Come on, I'll take you to put on makeup. The assistant director will come over to explain the scenes to you. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Ajun led the way with a smile. In fact, he still didn't know Du Ruo's background. As a Hong Kong native, he just paid attention to the entertainment industry and some official announcements.
But Wu Jingdu took it so seriously, he was not stupid and kept a low profile.
At this time, other staff members or extras saw that the second male lead in the play treated Du Ruo so politely, and they looked at Du Ruo curiously.
"Boss Du, is it the Boss Du from the foot of Huangshan Mountain some time ago?"
"It's definitely him. I didn't expect he even knows a celebrity."
"Is Boss Du also coming to act in the movie?"
Of course, some people recognized Du Ruo, but Du Ruo is just an internet celebrity at most. Even if the people here are just extras, in a place like Hengdian, everyone's acceptance ability is quite high, so they would not be so excited to see a celebrity.
So they just discussed it in a low voice, but the crew didn't stop them from discussing it, and didn't even ask them to keep it secret. They originally wanted to take advantage of Du Ruo's traffic, and now that some rumors were spreading, it was exactly what Wu Jing wanted.
Xiang Yuanyuan was also looking around curiously, and then followed Du Ruo to the dressing room.
"Has Master Du ever acted in a play before?"
In the dressing room, Ajun sat aside and watched Du Ruo who was putting on makeup. He chatted with her and tried to find out about Du Ruo's background.
