Starting a second career in the entertainment industry

The environment for the lunch gathering was very relaxing. Both the director and the actors liked this dining environment very much.

Wei Zhuang is one of the talents recruited by Wenrou through a job hunting company as a producer for film and television investment.

Although his name is Wei Zhuang, he has nothing to do with Qin Shi Ming Yue. His father's surname is Wei and his mother's surname is Zhuang. They would inevitably be happy when their first child was born, so they named him Zhuang.

Wei Zhuang: "Although you can't order food here, the dishes served are indeed not repeated within a month, and every dish is delicious. I have only been here once, and I am lucky to be here, thanks to the boss."

When Wei Zhuang first joined the company, he happened to catch up with Wenrou’s startup company, and all the staff from the film and television investment department had arrived. In order to welcome the newcomers, they scheduled the first dinner here.

Wenrou actually knew the owner of this bar. He was her brother's classmate, Wang Jun, and the owner of the newly opened bar she visited last year.

Wei Zhuang sat in his seat and spoke some polite words in a polite and dignified manner.

Director Yang also exchanged business pleasantries with him. He knew who the boss of Wei Zhuang was. Although the investor was someone from the entertainment industry, the company he founded was small but complete in every way, with plenty of money and little work, and they respected his filming ideas and casting.

Although the female lead and one of the male leads have been decided, the other actors were selected by Director Yang himself, which is already very good.

The reservation was notified early, and the group waited for a short time before the dishes were served. Along with them, Wang Jun also came with the waiter.

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

No one saw anyone, but Wang Jun's voice came: "Wen Xiaorou, I heard you're here!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a rich young man dressed very casually, 178 cm tall and of good looks. He was smiling and looking around the box.

Seeing the gentle man sitting there, his laughter became brighter.

Wang Jun: "I'm sorry to bother you all. I just came here to say hello to my sister."

Wenrou stood up, smiled apologetically to everyone, and then spoke gently to Wang Jun: "Brother Wang Jun, long time no see. I didn't expect you to be here today."

The two were very familiar with each other, so no other formalities were needed. So Wenrou greeted him naturally, and Wang Jun also stopped by to see his classmate's sister.

In his own territory, Wang Jun doesn't care much about other people.

Wang Jun: "Yes, I'm also inviting friends to dinner today. I came to see you. I came to apologize to you. I didn't go to your birthday party because my business was having some problems. Now that I finally see you, of course I have to come and see you."

Wenrou: "You gave me double the gift, I'm sorry I'm still angry."

Wang Jun: "Haha, I'm glad you're not angry. I haven't seen you for over a year. You've grown taller. Do you have a boyfriend? It's not like what your brother said, that it's hard to find a boyfriend with your height."

Wenrou felt like she was going to be socially dead. In front of so many people, she didn't want to continue chatting: "Brother Wang Jun, please at least give me some face. I'm having dinner with the crew today. I'll come to your place for a gathering another day..."

Stared at by the gentle eyes, Wang Jun tactfully said goodbye: "Sorry to bother you all. I'll have someone serve two dishes and two bottles of wine to apologize to you all."

Wei Zhuang didn't care about the arrival of Master Wang: "Master Wang, you are too polite. How about you have dinner with us?"

Wang Jun: "Thank you, but you don't have to eat. I have friends here to entertain you. I'll leave first. Have a good meal, everyone."

The two dishes that Wang Jun mentioned were quickly brought up by the waiter. There were two tables of people, and each table had one dish of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, one dish of braised duck in a pot, and two bottles of red wine.

Director Yang was curious about Wang Jun, and while having dinner, he did not forget to ask Wei Zhuang about him.

Wei Zhuang is also a person who has been in society for many years and knows Director Yang's intention. People in the entertainment industry all have to make connections when they go out.

Wei Zhuang did not keep the secret: "There is nothing to keep silent about this. Liu Yuxi's "Wu Yi Xiang" says: In the old days, the swallows in front of the halls of Wang and Xie flew into the homes of ordinary people. The Wang family mentioned here is the Wang family of Wang Shao. Although this family has declined, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Wang family has actually been preserved."

"So, the fact that a family has survived until now shows its strength and heritage. This place is just his personal asset. It's really not worth mentioning. The last time I was able to come here, it was because my boss organized a dinner and brought me here. Otherwise, how could I have such connections?"

Director Yang was shocked after hearing this, but when he came to his senses, he could only admire Wei Zhuang: "Brother Wei is really awesome. He booked this place for us. By the way, Wen Ling, we have two extra dishes and four bottles of wine, thank you very much."

She smiled gently and modestly: "I am also blessed by my brother. He is my brother's high school classmate, so it is inevitable that he will take care of him a little."

Wenrou didn't expect Wei Zhuang to know so much. She also learned a little from her brother. Then after her 20th birthday party, she learned about the Wang family from the information about the Lan family's contacts that her mother gave her. Otherwise, she really didn't know.

Lan Ying, who was sitting at the same table, also made a friendly joke: "You are too polite. Mr. Wang just said that he did not go to your birthday party. I came here to apologize to you. Thank you. These two authentic dishes are not so easy to eat at ordinary times."

When I was recording the legal variety show Offer, I offended someone a little, but I thought "the crime is not punishable by death" and I would have to apologize later, so Lan Ying took the initiative to talk to him.

Others, including Xiao Zhan, were shocked by the strength of Wenrou's network of contacts. Everyone in the circle has a scale in their hearts to judge who has connections and backers.

Now, the heroine of this drama is undoubtedly the most powerful one among those with connections. After everyone knows this, they can't help but respect her, but also feel a little distant from her.

······

Wenrou is an actress who can’t be any newer. With her lover by her side, she feels her life on the set is full of fun, but also full of challenges.

Although the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are distinct in film and television dramas, it is not like this during filming. In order to catch up with the schedule, the corresponding scenes will not be shot in the corresponding seasons.

For example, the first scene that Wenrou filmed was supposed to be about the summer graduation season, but it was actually filmed in winter. This seasonal difference brought some challenges to the filming, especially to ensure that the scene and atmosphere matched the plot. To solve this problem, the crew took a series of measures to create a summer feeling.

The costume department carefully selected summer clothes and asked the actors to wear light clothes to show the heat of summer. At the same time, the props department also prepared various summer-related props, such as ice cream and soda that people liked around 2000, to increase the realism of the scene.

The most critical thing is how to deal with the hot air produced by the actors' breathing. Due to the cold actual shooting environment, the actors' breath can easily form fog in front of the camera, which may cause the camera to go wrong. In order to solve this problem, the actors had to take some special methods.

Despite the challenges of seasonal differences, the entire crew worked hard to ensure that the footage was shot in line with the plot and without any obvious bugs.
