Just then, Guo Xinya, who was also wearing a wire harness, walked up to Xiao He and said, "These people really are trying to flatter the wrong person."
Xiao He chuckled lightly, maintaining his cautious and tactful style, and subtly echoed, "The main thing is that this is the first time everyone has heard that Yan Shaohan is Director Ning's disciple."
Director Ning's real name is Ning Jiaqi. He is also a very capable director and an outstanding figure of the same era as Lin Yipeng's father, Lin Jiexiu. However, Lin Jiexiu's network of connections is based in Shanghai, while Ning Jiaqi's network of connections is based in Beijing.
These two circles represent different networks, belonging to the Beijing and Shanghai circles respectively, and there was a subtle rivalry between them in the past. However, with the rapid development of information technology in recent years and the increasing number of outstanding young people who are no longer bound by the old-fashioned circle-drawing and factionalism, the two circles have actually become quite closely connected.
Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that even though Ning Jiaqi is a professor at Peking Opera, not just anyone can become his "disciple".
You can have many students, but you can only have a few disciples.
Take the relationship between Xiao He and his private acting teacher An Chengguang as an example. Xiao He is still just An Chengguang's student and has not yet reached the level of "master and apprentice relationship".
So just from their titles, you can already tell what kind of relationship this new assistant director has with Director Yan.
It seems that these people's original plan will fall through.
Guo Xinya had also appeared in Ning Jiaqi's movies before, so she was not unfamiliar with Ning Jiaqi.
“Actually, I had a vague feeling that he had Director Ning’s influence before.” Guo Xinya smiled. “His way of cursing people has some of Director Ning’s true teachings.”
Xiao He burst out laughing.
Therefore, it is indeed reasonable for an apprentice to first learn the true art of scolding from his master.
"Alright, alright, let's get back to filming." After a few brief pleasantries, Fan Congwen urged Yan Shaohan to continue his work. "The filming schedule here is heavy, unlike back home. You're the one who's been working hard lately."
He then gestured to his assistant to pull up a recliner for him, interrupting Tang Wenjuan's eagerness to chat. He lay back on the recliner and said leisurely, "Junior brother, I'm counting on you here. I believe in you."
Yan Shaohan nodded, "Okay, senior brother, watch me! I'll definitely complete the mission successfully!"
"ah?"
This time, not only Tang Wenjuan was completely dumbfounded, but everyone else was too.
When Fan Congwen returned to the film crew, why didn't he take over Yan Shaohan's directing duties?
What will happen to them? Will they continue to be tortured under the wrath of Yan Shaohan, this great demon king?
"Director Fan has indeed been working very hard lately," Tang Wenjuan said tentatively. "He really needs to rest well, after all, the upcoming filming schedule is still quite heavy."
Fan Congwen immediately stared at Tang Wenjuan with wide eyes: "What? I'm here to be an assistant director. It's already a great honor to be able to take over the filming there. Don't expect me to do any more work."
Ask him to go through all the trouble of filming on location here? No, that won't do, that's a different price!
Tang Wenjuan: ...
Others: ...
The sky has fallen!
A savior is not a savior, and even a savior is unreliable!
Yuan Sitong walked blankly to the front of the film set, letting the wire stuntman adjust the equipment on her body.
Thinking about the upcoming filming schedule, she felt like crying.
Beside her stood another actor, Lee Ho-hyun, who seemed utterly hopeless.
Xiao He glanced at Li Haoxuan, and thinking about his upcoming scenes, his eyes showed sympathy.
Actually, compared to Yuan Sitong, the actor named Li Haoxuan is in a worse situation, which can be ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) described as beset by internal and external troubles.
Lee Ho-hyun is of mixed race and was a model with outstanding looks. However, he can't even speak Chinese clearly, yet he was forced to take over the role of Lu Yu-xi, who was previously fired for being late. He needs a translator for even daily communication, let alone the script.
The only consolation is that Director Yan can also speak English, so any problems can be communicated directly in English, instead of him rambling on and on while waiting for the translator to translate, and then Li Haoxuan rambling on and on while Yan Shaohan waits for the translator to translate.
That would truly be a hopeless situation.
Meanwhile, because Lee Ho-hyun replaced Noh Woo-hee in the role, he is now being targeted by Noh Woo-hee like a mad dog.
Although Lu Yuxi had been warned by Zhuang Hongyi before leaving, how could Lu Yuxi possibly swallow his anger and do nothing when his role was replaced by a foreigner who couldn't even speak clearly?
The film crew has been quite lively lately, both inside and outside the crew. The person who has caused controversy and been questioned by netizens is no longer Xiao He, but Li Haoxuan.
A large number of online trolls and haters attacked, massacring the entire "Yu Ye" square; the scene was almost unbearable to watch.
Despite Lee Ho-hyun's attempts to retaliate or clarify, the results were minimal.
Fortunately, Lee Ho-hyun's fan base is not in China, so this attack did not shake his international fan base. It seems that Lu Yu-xi's side spent money to help their production team with marketing.
Actually, it's not bad, hehe.
However, considering that Liu Rulan was not present today and everyone else had already greeted Director Fan, Xiao He thought for a moment and decided to take advantage of a break in filming to come to Fan Congwen alone and greet him.
"Hello Director Fan, I'm Xiao He, an artist from Linghui Studio. Liu Rulan is my manager. She mentioned you to me before and was originally planning to come and welcome you, but unfortunately she's not here today..."
Upon hearing Liu Rulan's name, Fan Cong finally looked up at Xiao He, then smiled and gestured for Xiao He to sit down: "I know, Liu Rulan met with me this morning, and she praised you to me quite a bit."
Xiao He was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, Liu Rulan was the fastest to act, having already met with people before Fan Congwen even arrived at the film set.
However, it does fit Sister Liu's style.
“Perfect timing! Tell me about what’s been going on on set lately,” Fan Congwen said with great interest. “There must have been a lot of interesting things happening on set, right?”
Xiao He: ...There are so many interesting things to say, I could talk about them all day long.
Xiao He originally didn't want to complain, but considering what happened in the dressing room today, he still mentioned it to Fan Congwen.
I originally wanted to tell Sister Liu and let her handle it, but since Director Fan asked, I'll let him worry about it himself.
Fan Congwen's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
I originally just listened to it as gossip, but I never expected that someone would actually dare to use such despicable methods.
If something really happens, the first one to be affected won't be Yan Shaohan, but him.
After all, Zhuang Hongyi sent him to the "Yu Ye" crew mainly to intimidate the monsters and demons on set.
"I understand. I will investigate and handle it properly. Thank you. You can go ahead and film. Don't worry about this."
Fan Congwen spoke seriously, then dared not sit there leisurely any longer and quickly got up to deal with these potential problems.
Having confirmed that Fan Congwen was taking these issues seriously, Xiao He finally felt relieved and leisurely returned to the film set.
Meanwhile, Liu Rulan had already prepared her gifts and knocked on the door of a villa in a certain district.
"Hello, my name is Liu Rulan. I'm here to see Director Ning. Is he home?"
