Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 28 The beginning of the collapse of heaven
The story of "Dwelling Narrowness" is set in Jiangzhou in 1998.

After graduation, my elder sister Guo Haiping and her husband Su Chun settled in the city, living in a shabby room, and firmly believed that through hard work they could own their own home in an era of soaring housing prices.

Influenced by her elder sister, Guo Haizao was admitted to Jiangzhou University. When she was about to graduate, she faced a choice: accept a stable job in the system of her hometown, or follow her elder sister's dream of a megacity.

Finally, under Haiping's persuasion that losing the will to fight is the end of life, Haizao finally chooses to stay in Jiangzhou...

…………

Three people squeezed into a small room of 10 square meters.

Haiping and Haizao slept at the head of the bed, while her future brother-in-law Su Chun slept at the foot of the bed, lying head to toe with Haiping and Haizao on the same bed.

It was Lin Xingzhuo’s first time lying in bed with two girls, and he was a little nervous.

Because they had to lie head to toe, and Lin Xingzhuo was 1.8 meters tall, and Haiqing, who played Haiping, was 1.65 meters tall.

This height difference...

If it smells, it would be very rude.

Therefore, Lin Xingzhuo also bought a bar of Safeguard antibacterial soap, washed his feet, and changed into a new pair of Septwolves socks.

This is a new beginning, so we must pay attention to the details to ensure that nothing goes wrong...

By the way, shouldn’t I apply some hand cream?
This seems more polite...

…………

"Cut!"

Lin Xingzhuo: “???”

Teng Huatao shouted into the intercom: "Lin Xingzhuo! Speak up! Speak up!"

Lin Xingzhuo finally realized that he had been obsessed with personal hygiene, which had caused him to be distracted and unable to follow Li Xian's lines for several minutes...

"Excuse me, Director."

"Focus, try again!"

…………

“First scene, first take, second take! Action!”

Haizao said, "Brother-in-law, you've been living with me for so long, and you kept it a secret from my parents..."

Lin Xingzhuo didn't worry about personal hygiene this time and quickly said, "I live with your sister to save rent so I can buy a house in the future."

"We respect each other and remain chaste. When we buy a big house in the future, we'll leave one for Xiao Haizao."

"Cut!"

Director Teng Huatao's voice came through the intercom again: "Lin Xingzhuo, pay attention to the accuracy of the lines! It's a room! Not a building!"

…………

“First scene, first take, third time! Action!”

Haizao said, "Brother-in-law, you've been living with me for so long, and you kept it a secret from my parents..."

Lin Xingzhuo didn't worry about personal hygiene this time and quickly said, "I live with your sister to save rent so I can buy a house in the future."

"We respect each other and keep our chastity intact. When we buy a big house in the future, we'll leave a room for Xiao Haizao."

Haizao fished out a small umbrella from under her pillow and said, "Brother, is this what you use to keep your chastity?"

Haiping's pupils suddenly dilated, and she quickly snatched the umbrella back from her sister. The two sisters started playing together on the bed.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo saw Haiping and Haizao's sisters fighting.

Lee Jun, who plays Hai Zao, has a face like clear soup noodles and long hair.

She is pretty, but not too pretty. She is pure yet a little ignorant, with the youthfulness of someone who has just entered society. Even if she is vain, people can't bear to blame her.

Beauties of this level are the kind that ordinary people can encounter in life, such as the class belle in school, unlike Su Bingqing who is an unattainable beauty.

According to Lin Xingzhuo's experience in his previous life, Li Xian's appearance was liked by leaders within the system.

If she hadn't married a rich man right after filming "Dwelling Narrowness", she might have been able to pursue a career as a Qingyi actress...

"Cut!"

"Lin Xingzhuo! Are you watching the show?! !Lines!"

…………

"Scene 1, shot 1, fourth take! Action!"

"Cut! Lin Xingzhuo! Stay emotionally coherent! Don't read from a script, relax."

"Scene 1, shot 1, fifth take! Action!"

"Cut! What's going on?! Don't improvise and change the lyrics!"

"Scene 1, shot 1, sixth take! Action!"

"Cut! What are you looking at?! Why are you staring at Li Jin? Look at the camera! The camera!!"

"First scene, first take, seventh time!"

"Cut! The quilt fell off! Don't move! Prop Master!!"

"First scene, first take, eighth time!"

“Cut! Lin Xingzhuo, don’t turn your head while you’re talking! You’re going off-axis!!”…………

"Scene 1, shot 1, ninth take! Action!"

Haizao played with the umbrella in her hand and said with a smile, "Brother, is this what you use to keep your chastity?"

Lin Xingzhuo pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "What is this? We don't know. Did the landlord leave it here?"

Hai Qing interrupted the two of them, patted Hai Zao, and said unhappily, "Alright! It's time for you to go to bed, turn off the lights!!"

……

Finally finished filming!!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xingzhuo felt the soles of his feet were sweating, and his socks were soaked.

Then, under the shocked gazes of Hai Qing and Li Xian, Lin Xingzhuo turned over and got out of bed as if relieved, and stretched awkwardly.

“Cut!!”

"No, man!!! Did I yell stop and you got up?!!!"

…………

The urban drama "Home Sweet Home" does not involve any explosions, wirework, action design, or long-shot scenes.

It mainly relies on sharp and lifelike dialogue design.

The first scene where Su Chun, Haiping, and Haizao are squeezed into a 10-square-meter house lacks the delicate and entangled emotions and high-density lines that Haizao later plays against Song Siming and Xiaobei...

It's just a simple and easy everyday conversation, a simple basic shot, with no difficulty at all.

Fuck! I actually filmed for the entire morning! And I had to do eleven NGs!!

Such a devastating start.

Teng Huatao felt that the 300 million yuan transferred into his account was a bit hot.

…………

Hai Qing was also shocked by Lin Xingzhuo's strength.

According to the rules set by Teng Huatao during the filming of "Double-Sided Adhesive Tape", the upper limit of NGs for a single shot is set at five times. If the limit is exceeded, the shooting plan may be adjusted and the actors may be replaced.

So, when Lin Xingzhuo was NGing for the fourth time, Haiping, as a professional actor, was worried about Lin Xingzhuo being replaced and anxious about the filming progress...

As a result, Lin Xingzhuo was completely unharmed and eventually became Director Teng's buddy.

…………

At noon, the lunch boxes provided by Chuangyuan Hotel arrived.

Teng Huatao left Haiqing behind, and with a hint of fatigue in his tone, he said, "Haiqing, you need to give Lin Xingzhuo more guidance."

Hai Qing said, "Well, I'll review his acting skills with him tonight..."

Teng Huatao sighed and said, "No, let's not talk about acting. Just tell him some basic camera awareness and common sense."

Hai Qing said with high morale: "Yes, Director Teng, I understand."

........................

The next morning, Teng Huatao convened a drama performance to criticize a certain person with connections.

Lin Xingzhuo came to the meeting room drowsy with dark circles under his eyes, carrying a rice cake with fried dough sticks from Ajian Soy Milk and Fried Dough Stick Shop, completely unaware of everyone's gaze.

Last night Haiqing came to his room and the two of them stayed up until after two in the morning.

Compared to Lin Xingzhuo's lethargy.

Haiqing, who spent the whole night talking about camera awareness, line of sight management, NG response strategies and other knowledge, is still in extremely high spirits today.

She also chatted with Li Xin about the recent gossip on Tencent Weibo about the divorce between the princess and Li Yapeng...

…………

Everyone just sat down in the conference room.

Teng Huatao said: "Those who are familiar with me know that I always emphasize the script lines every time I shoot a movie."

“The script is the basis of a play!”

"These lines have been carefully polished and repeatedly considered by us and the screenwriter, and can stand the test of the market."

"Some of our actors aren't even familiar with the script and make stupid mistakes all the time."

Teng Huatao saw Lin Xingzhuo sitting in the audience, eating with relish the rice pancakes with the fragrance of fermented rice and the soft, white crust filled with fried dough sticks...

Damn, the artists under the coal boss are so arrogant!

Teng Huatao decided to show his hand and said directly:
"What I'm saying is..."

…………

Bang! !

At this time, Zhu Jinghong, the producer in charge of upward management, pushed the door open and brought bad news.

"Director Teng, this is a big trouble."

"The preliminary review results of the Shanghai Municipal Radio and Television Bureau have come out, and the 'Provincial TV Drama Review and Revision Opinion Notice' has been officially issued..."
