Caring for brother

If there is one word to describe Ye Fan's life as an assistant, it would be - "boring".

He originally thought that the life on the set would be very busy and glamorous, with endless big and small affairs, special situations that could not be dealt with, and intrigues among actors, even small assistants. will bully each other.

However, none of these situations exist.

Presumably, none of the actors in "Dog's Lung Man" have undergone public casting, and all of them are actors recommended by An's friends through his contacts.He has a wide range of friends, and he smiles when he sees everyone. The friends he knows are all outstanding in character and acting, and the candidates recommended by them will naturally not play those dirty tricks.

In addition, this film is the major work of Xingui Entertainment, with high investment and a good team, everyone cooperated very smoothly, and the whole crew enjoyed it very much.

Ye Fan joined the team for more than half a month, and in retrospect, only the worship ceremony on the first day when the machine was turned on was still interesting.At that time, the theater manager moved out an altar, on which several plants of thick incense, statues of gods and a large table of tributes were placed one by one.Ye Fan has never seen such a battle before. He stared at the suckling pig with an apple in his mouth. His eyes were straight. On the rice-long baking tray, just looking at it will increase people's appetite.There are chickens, ducks and geese around the suckling pig, and plates of apples and grapes next to it.

Ye Fan has heard that filming is hard before, no matter how big a celebrity is, they have to eat box lunches every day.I didn't expect their crew to eat such a hearty meal for the first time before they started filming.

He was waiting for the delivery of bowls and chopsticks, when he saw the director, screenwriter, and all the actors and staff walking to the table, holding three sticks of incense in one hand, and respectfully bowed three times to the gods on the table.

Andrew has never had such a habit when he studied directing courses in Vulture Country, and even joined the group after that.But do as the Romans do, since there is such a custom in Panda Country, he doesn't want to make it too special.

Ye Fan felt that all this was very strange, so he took out his mobile phone and kept taking pictures.The assistants of other actors next to him saw his new look, smiled and whispered, saying that he was a newcomer to the group at first glance, and he didn't understand anything.

Ye Fan has a big temper and wants to argue with them "who doesn't start as a rookie", but before the conflict, An's agent Angkor appeared to smooth things over.

"Xiaoye is now in charge of Brother Li's Weibo, so I must take a few more photos and choose a good angle to post. If you have time to gossip, why don't you take more photos with me? Don't all the photos on the celebrity Weibo are exactly the same official photos. .”

Because Wang Lili's manager appointed by the upstart was only temporary, and he didn't follow up with Ye Fan in this filming, so An's manager Angkor was the one who had the most contact with Ye Fan. Let Ye Fan learn from him, so you don't have to worry about Ye Fan being bullied by other assistants because of his lack of experience.

After the other assistants ran away like chickens being blown away, Ye Fan sincerely thanked Angkor.

Angkor said boldly: "Thank you, thank you, they don't have bad intentions, they just have a bit of a broken mouth. Many times, things that are difficult to inquire about between artists depend on whether they communicate with each other, and gradually they will develop gossip. character."

Ye Fan nodded: "I understand, I understand. In this crew, the director is the emperor, Brother Li is the queen, the camera lights are courtiers, the other actors are concubines, and our assistants are little maids."

Just as Angkor was about to nod, he suddenly felt something was wrong: "...Wait, then what am I?"

Ye Fan blinked: "You are a celebrity in front of the emperor—the chief eunuch."

Angkor: "...I thought about it, I don't want to give you Brother Li's Weibo. Your mouth is neither serious nor serious. I'm afraid that I will be too busy to do crisis public relations in a few days."

In the end, Ye Fan talked and talked, and finally got Angkor to hand over Wang Lili's Weibo account, but he could only post photos but not text, and he had to ask Angkor for review before posting.Wang Lili has always disliked engaging in these social softwares, but after he came to the upstart this time, the company opened and added V for him. Except for the first Weibo, which was posted by him, he has been entrusted to the company for hosting.When Ye Fan followed him, he had less than [-] followers on Weibo, but because An followed him a few days ago, his followers increased a lot.

This was the first time Ye Fan was entrusted with such a big task, and he was very excited.He told his brother the good news immediately, and at the same time sent a photo of the opening ceremony he took, and complained that the suckling pigs on the table were not for people to eat, but for gods.

Since he sent this WeChat message in the morning, he has not received a reply until the afternoon.Ye Fan didn't feel left out, because Xu Shengyao was busy with work on weekdays, and it would be abnormal if he held his mobile phone all the time and didn't concentrate on his work because they were separated from each other.

The first day of shooting ended very smoothly.This "Dog Lung Man" is a very good but controversial work, which tells a series of tragedies and comedies that happened to Lin Naimu, a small character from a peasant background.Lin Naimu didn't even finish elementary school, and he planed food on the land until he was in his 30s. He was smart, ruthless, and competitive. In a fight with a young man from the same village, he accidentally pushed him to the ground. Under the cliff, he fled thousands of miles that night, and finally went to work in a big southern city.He met some people who had left their homes like him, and some ironic stories happened.After several years of struggle, he gained a firm foothold in the city, started his own small business, bought a car and a house.After being away from home for ten years, he finally finds the courage to return to his hometown and face up to his mistakes.However, when he went back, he found that the person he pushed off the cliff was not dead, but had amnesia and forgot everything that happened that day.Feeling lost, he walked towards the cliff where the accident happened, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down quietly...

This movie is not a mainstream commercial blockbuster nowadays, but due to the appeal of the director Andrew and the huge promotion efforts of the company, countless fans walked into the movie theater to support the box office. I'm overwhelmed by it.

Ye Fan has watched this movie more than ten times, and he can even memorize the classic lines in it.This time he was able to directly participate in the filming of the movie, even if it was just a small job of serving tea and water to the leading actor, he was very happy.His excitement didn't stop until he finished work at eight o'clock in the evening.

When receiving dinner, in addition to the standard box lunch with two meat and two vegetables, the logistics staff also handed him a round plastic lunch box. A piece of pork is coated with finely ground cumin powder and chili noodles on both sides, which makes people's index fingers move just by smelling it.Every box of pork was overflowing, Ye Fan swallowed his saliva watching.

He happily took the boxed lunch back to the resting place, and called Brother Li to eat with him. "Brother Li Ge Li, I brought back the lunch box. The roast suckling pig that was sacrificed to heaven in the morning was cut into slices. It tastes very delicious."

As soon as he said that, everyone at the table laughed.Angkor said: "Xiaoye, you are inexperienced. That suckling pig is not edible at all. The skin looks good, but the inside is not cooked. Even if it is processed again, it will not be so good."

Wang Lili asked Andrew: "Why are you so generous, you gave everyone extra meals on the first day of work."

"I'm not that kind of rich director," Andrew raised his eyebrows: "I asked the logistics, and they said it was delivered by the restaurant at the bottom of the mountain half an hour ago. The restaurant said that the orderer was an anonymous fan, and it cost a lot of money to please The crew will eat."

Afterwards, the discussion of the few people focused on whose fans did good deeds without leaving their names.It is very common for fans to raise funds to buy high-end dishes for the whole crew to eat, but every fan who comes to deliver food can't wait to put up a big banner to announce it to the world.But this time the fan didn't leave his name, and the food he invited was very simple, making it hard to guess what he was doing.

Everyone chatted lively, and Ye Fan was holding a box lunch beside him, eating deliciously and happily.

He had already guessed who sent the meat.

Although Ye Fan agreed to video chat with Xu Shengyao every few days before following the film crew to the location, but the fact is that he has been away from home for nearly a month, and the days he can really video chat with Xu Shengyao can be counted on one hand come over.

It's not because Ye Fan became ambitious after leaving home and forgot his promise. It's because Xu Shengyao was too busy with his official duties. He was so busy that Ye Fan returned to the hotel after nine o'clock to send him a video invitation. Didn't Xu Shengyao miss it? When he arrived, he just replied hastily with "meeting" and rejected the invitation.

At the end of last year, all of Xu Shengyao's work focused on the bidding of overseas luxury hotels. The country of Thousand Islands was their most important overseas bid. However, because of Ye Fan's "ability", Xu's real estate finally terminated the project .Xu Shengyao is not a leader who is satisfied with his success. He has never concealed his ambition to further expand the Xu family. Originally, he wanted to let the Xu family step into the world through the completion of overseas luxury hotels in the country of thousands of islands. However, now this The road is not working, so I can only find another way out.

Whether to follow the original plan to find a new land to build an overseas hotel, or to abandon this road to find a new investment point, these two completely different paths have become the focus of recent internal disputes in the Xu family.

Xu's real estate is full of Xu Shengyao's direct descendants, and they hope to get Xu Shengyao's full support.However, Xu Shengyao began to reconsider whether overseas hotels are the smoothest avenue after going through the incident of the Thousand Islands Kingdom—this time they can avoid the risk before the natural disaster, what if the next time it is a man-made disaster?

Xu Shengyao knew that the most convenient way was to ask what direction Diao Diao should develop in the future, but he didn't want to rely too much on his younger brother's ability. On the one hand, there might be differences between the two parallel worlds; Diao Diao only knows the future for eight years, but an excellent leader must see much longer than eight years.

Although Xu Shengyao's work schedule is so full that he doesn't even have time to video chat with his brother regularly, but his failure to respond does not affect Ye Fan's sending him a lot of daily life messages every day.

Sometimes it’s a photo of the script, accompanied by “Today when I was chatting with the screenwriter, he asked me if I had read the script, and I said I could recite the lines, but he didn’t believe it, so he just flipped a page and quizzed me, and I really answered it.” "Text.

Sometimes it’s a photo of a box lunch that doesn’t look good, and the next day the whole crew will eat delicious home-cooked food sent by “anonymous fans”.

Sometimes it was Ye Fan who said that he didn't do any serious business in the crew, and Wang Lili was used to handling everything by himself, and the heaviest thing his assistant helped Wang Lili get was a cup of tea.

Xu Shengyao would reply to some of these contents, and put them down after a quick glance.

However, once, Xu Shengyao clicked on Ye Fan's profile picture and looked at his circle of friends, only to find that Ye Fan had posted a photo of Wang Lili that morning.

In the photo, Wang Lili, who has a weathered face and half of his face covered by a beard, is wrapped in a military overcoat and is studying the script hard.He was filthy, with dirt on the soles of his shoes, and a make-up cut on his face.

Can also row: [Picture] Li Ge is so handsome when he is serious!

Obviously Xu Shengyao was presiding over the meeting at the time, and the high-level executives on both sides of the conference table were about to quarrel, but Xu Shengyao still took ten seconds to reply: Yao: Not handsome

You can also reply to Yao: [angry] [angry] Apologize to my husband!

Yao replied that he can also row: Who is the husband?

An replied that rowing is also possible: Who is the husband? ?

When Xu Shengyao refreshed again, the photo had disappeared.Ye Fan had previously given Xu Shengyao "popular science" some buzzwords on the Internet, such as "foodie" is no longer a derogatory term, "exquisite" is not always a compliment, and "husband" does not mean that there is a substantial relationship, but this does not mean that On behalf of Xu Shengyao, he would not care if his younger brother called a male star her husband.

This really surpassed the line drawn by Xu Shengyao in his heart.

He is a person who is cautious in his words and deeds, and thinks deeply. He will think about many things many times before letting go. In this regard, Diaoyu is the complete opposite of him.

He really wanted to tell Diao Diao to watch his words, but in the end he put down his phone and forced himself to continue listening to the quarrel between the two parties in the conference room.

Xu Shengyao thought, he really cared too much about Ye Fan recently, this kind of caring went beyond the frame he set for himself, it's time for him to control himself.
