Surprise! The wife of a top star is actually a Nobel Prize winner
Chapter 258 The Late Cen 1
The two directors of this drama are both veteran directors from Hong Kong. They have collaborated on many popular works. This time, they can take the lead in this ancient costume fantasy drama, which can be said to be a great addition to the crew.
On the first day of joining the crew, the two directors gathered everyone together for a script reading as per their habit.
When Li Xiao arrived, several actors had already arrived, but he didn't know any of them very well.
However, when those people saw him, they greeted him enthusiastically and said that they all knew him. Two of them even said that they had watched the talent show they participated in that year.
He was quite flattered.
While chatting, many people came one after another. Except for two veteran actors who often played supporting roles, he had rarely seen the other young actors. They were probably newcomers in the circle. It seemed that this crew was a group of newcomers.
Chen Cenyi did not show up until the two directors and the producer came in.
Li Xiao thought, based on the girl's intolerant personality, she would definitely not fall for an idol who likes to act like a big shot. Chen Cenyi probably had work outside and couldn't make it.
Sure enough, after everyone arrived, Ms. Yang explained, "Chen Cenyi, who plays the role of Second Young Master Lan, has an announcement to make today, so he won't be joining the crew until tomorrow."
Next, everyone introduced themselves, giving a brief introduction of their basic situation and the role they played in the play.
There are mostly new actors and actresses, all of them are young people, and the atmosphere is lively.
After the script reading in the morning, there was etiquette training in the afternoon.
This drama is fictional and does not belong to any historical dynasty, but the original author has created a very grand historical background for the novel. Many of the rules and etiquette in the drama are also described in great detail, so the director specially invited an etiquette teacher to teach the actors etiquette.
The director said that it would be like this for the next few days, with script readings in the morning, etiquette, martial arts, etc. in the afternoon, and the situation in the evening. If the reading progress is not up to par, overtime will be done to ensure that everyone has gone through the script in these few days.
In the afternoon etiquette class, Li Xiao performed particularly well.
He could imitate all the postures and expressions the teacher taught him, and his words and actions were even better and more natural than the teacher's, as if these were the rules and etiquette he had followed since he was a child.
The etiquette teacher praised him again and again.
But Li Xiao just said modestly that he had learned these from others before, so it was nothing. If others learned them a few more times, they might be able to do better than him.
After hearing this, the teaching teachers and the director team nodded inwardly: This kid is good.
On the first day of joining the crew, in order to let everyone get familiar with each other quickly, the director gathered everyone together after the etiquette class in the afternoon and dinner to continue reading the script.
In the evening, Director Chen specially asked Producer Yang to stay and tell the actors about some of the settings and plot lines of the play.
After a day of getting to know each other, the group of young people no longer had the reservedness they had when they first met.
In particular, they saw that the male lead in the play, Li Xiao, had no airs at all. He was always very kind and talked and laughed with everyone. He did not act arrogant or look down on others just because he was the male lead and one of the only two most famous and popular stars in the crew (the other one was Chen Cenyi).
It is rare to meet an actor who is easy to deal with and doesn't make trouble. They feel extremely fortunate and have more confidence in their future life on the set.
If Li Xiao knew what they were thinking, he would probably laugh out loud. How could he be considered a famous actor? This was nothing.
In fact, this is indeed true. After all, the crew has recruited a group of new actors. Although several of them who graduated from professional schools have played some small roles in some dramas, but generally speaking, in this crew, it is really the two male protagonists Li Xiao and Chen Cenyi who are somewhat famous in the circle.
In a film crew, seniority is always ranked according to fame. It is no wonder that this group of unknown people who have just entered the circle not long ago feel fortunate to see the leading actor Li Xiao being so kind to others.
Just as the actors in the crew were reading the script enthusiastically, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Then everyone saw a handsome, dusty guy walking in from the door. It was Chen Cenyi, who was said to be joining the crew tomorrow.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, all looking in his direction.
The handsome guy was dressed in black, with a white baseball cap on his head and a small bag on his back. He bowed and apologized as soon as he came in. "Sorry to bother you, I'm Chen Cenyi. I'm sorry I'm late!"
After straightening up, he first looked at Li Xiao. There was nothing he could do. Among all the people in the room, he was the most conspicuous one sitting there.
Then he looked around and saw the director and producer. He quickly walked over to greet them, "Director Chen, Producer Yang, I'm here to report."
Director Chen laughed, "Cen Yi, you're here early. Good, good, good. Now all the main actors of our crew are finally here."
Ms. Yang also smiled and said, "Chen Cenyi, you've come just in time. Can you stay and go over the script with everyone?"
"Of course, Sister Yang, I just came here to attend the script reading tonight. My assistant put my luggage away for me." Although Chen Cenyi didn't have a smile on his face, anyone could tell from his bright eyes that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"That's good. You can sit in the empty seat next to Li Xiao. It's reserved for you." Producer Yang said, pointing to Li Xiao.
After Chen Cen nodded slightly, he walked straight to the empty seat and sat down.
At this time, the director gave a brief introduction to everyone, mainly introducing the actors present to Chen Cenyi and who they played in the play.
As for Chen Cenyi, the variety show "Happy Weekend" is so popular that all the young actors here know him.
When the director introduced Li Xiao, Chen Cen turned aside and said, "Hello, Teacher Li, nice to see you again. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."
Li Xiao thought to himself, this kid is quite polite. "It's mutual. Please take care of me from now on."
The director saw the two male leads being so polite, and he knew it wasn't okay. "Li Xiao, Chen Cenyi, you two can't be so polite. In the play, you two are lifelong friends. According to the original novel, you two are a couple, but that can't be filmed, so we changed it to friends. But the emotional connection is pretty much the same. You two need to get to know each other as soon as possible."
When Li Xiao and Chen Cen heard this, they both blushed, especially Li Xiao, who had already studied the original novel when thinking about the character at home.
However, both of them were professionals and knew that the director said this for the smooth filming, so they nodded in agreement.
Because Chen Cenyi came in later, after the study started again, the director asked him to concentrate on making up for the lines he had missed in the morning.
The Second Young Master Lan, like Chen Cen himself, is an extremely aloof person who speaks very little.
Then the conference room was filled with the voice of Li Xiao, the leading actor who interacted the most with this character, spouting a lot of lines, interrupted by the occasional sentence from Chen Cen.
The others looked at the script they were reading carefully, and often couldn't help laughing secretly while listening to them recite the lines.
Seeing that they were all laughing, Li Xiao couldn't help laughing sometimes, and then everyone discovered that Chen Cenyi, who was known for his coldness, was also laughing with everyone.
Cool guy is not cool at all at this time.
After two hours of studying the script, Li Xiao drank several cups of tea because there were simply too many lines for him.
Fortunately, he had gone through the entire script twice at home before joining the crew, and now it reads very smoothly. Director Chen and others couldn't help but give thumbs up after reading it.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, the director asked everyone to disperse and continue at nine o'clock the next morning.
The crew's set is not far from the hotel, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk back.
After the show, the actors walked back in groups of two or three.
Next to Li Xiao gathered two people from the same family as him in the play, Wang Lu who played the senior sister and Wang Cheng who played the junior brother.
Because the three of them are from the same family in the play, they are naturally closer than others after meeting each other today.
Especially the senior sister and the junior brother. In the play, they are siblings, but in reality, both of them happen to have the surname Wang. They both jokingly said that this was fate.
What Li Xiao didn't expect was that Chen Cenyi actually followed him silently.
Li Xiao is a thoughtful person, and he has promised the girl to take good care of her idol.
Seeing him following without saying anything, she took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Teacher Chen, you just got off the plane and rushed to the conference room?"
