Huayu: From an ordinary person to a happy director

Chapter 57: Wang Zhaojun is the one I want

"Then why did you bring camping equipment? The crew has a yurt." Liu Yan was full of curiosity.

"Living in a yurt is my dream, camping on the grassland is also my dream, and surviving in the wilderness has always been my dream, but this dream cannot be easily attempted, so I can only settle for camping on the grassland as the next best thing."

Shi Lei looked out at the prairie with shining eyes, smelling the fragrance of the grass, and felt extremely happy.

His favorite short videos include survival in the wilderness, hoof trimming, excavators, Odderbows, sea hunting, iron forging, etc.

The wilderness survival scenes are becoming more and more numerous and complex, including jungles, islands, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, deserts...

It’s a pity that hunting is not allowed in the country, otherwise he would also like to experience a simple level of wilderness survival.

The convoy successfully arrived at the crew. In order to capture the effect of endless grassland, the shooting location was some distance away from the residence.

In order to film this drama, the crew rented a huge grassland from the public.

He had just gotten out of the car when the director's assistant was waiting there.

"Hello, Mr. Shi, my name is Ying Hongzhao, and I'm the assistant to Director Leng Bin. Welcome to visit the crew." A young man came forward to greet him.

Shi Lei looked at the dark-skinned young man in front of him and said with a smile, "Hey, why are you so dark? Aren't you wearing sun-protective clothing or applying sunscreen?"

"Boss Shi, you are joking. I am not a delicate girl. I am just a rough man. I can show off as I like."

"Let's go, lead the way." Shi Lei pointed ahead.

At the same time, he asked people to prepare twenty roasted whole lambs for the entire crew.

Not long after, the group came to the crew, and as soon as they arrived, they saw an actor in a rage.

"I'll go and ask what's going on." Ying Hongzhao looked embarrassed.

"Go ahead!" Shi Lei agreed casually.

When something happened to the crew, he didn't go there immediately to avoid putting pressure on them.

Ying Hongzhao trotted over and trotted back two minutes later.

"The art director made a mistake and gave the male lead a set of costumes that were not suitable for the play." Ying Hongzhao observed Shi Lei's expression and did not see any anger or irritation, so he continued to explain: "Luo Jialiang, who plays the male lead, needs to wear thick and furry ancient costumes every day when acting, and also wear a wig on his face and glue a beard on.

The temperature difference here is very big, it is hot during the day and cold at night, sometimes you will feel so stuffy that you will sweat all over.

Luo Jialiang asked the art director to clean the costumes, but the art director ignored him.

In order to finish filming his scenes quickly, the lead actor had no choice but to swallow his anger.

It wasn’t until the art director confusedly handed Luo Jialiang a set of costumes that didn’t match the play that Luo Jialiang finally lost his temper and started arguing.

"Oh, wait until they have dealt with it before going over." Shi Lei had no intention of interfering.

In order to ensure the same quality of "Wang Zhaojun Goes to the Frontier" as in his previous life, he only cast Wang Zhaojun and did not cast any other characters.

History always repeats itself surprisingly. Except for Yang Mi, the rest of the crew of "Zhaojun Goes to the Frontier" are almost the same as in the previous life.

It is quite common for the male lead to quarrel with the stage staff this time.

If the filming is not going smoothly or is too difficult, it is normal for the director or the leading actor to take out their anger on other production staff over a trivial matter.

It is normal to curse a few times, but there are also many people who hit others.

But this is not his crew, he won't care about these.

Before the quarrel subsided, Wang Zhaojun came running over first.

"Hey, isn't Wang Zhaojun over there reading gossip?" Shi Lei teased.

"Brother Lei, reading gossip is not as important as welcoming you. I'm waiting for you all the time!" Yang Mi came up and held Shi Lei's arm and refused to let go.

Don't care about other people's opinions at all.

"Pa~~~" Shi Lei slapped Yang Miqiao and cursed, "You're asking for a beating. You're a leading actor and you're not paying attention. You're wasting my money every day."

"I was thinking about you, but it doesn't affect my performance. I'm a professional in acting and I can get into the role in minutes." Yang Mi explained hurriedly. "I don't believe it~~" Yang Mi has this ability, the sun can come out from the west.

The recently released "Harbin 1944" is a transitional work, but the acting is still eye-catching. At the beginning, he is still a powerful spy chief who yells at the top of his lungs when he scolds people.

"Really? When have I ever lied to Brother Lei?"

"Really? Then come to me tonight and I'll see if your acting skills have improved!" Shi Lei said meaningfully.

"Okay!" Yang Mi happily agreed, turned around to look at the crew still arguing in the distance, and said, "Brother Lei, Luo Jialiang is very angry now, so we can't shoot today. I'll go remove my makeup first and come to find you later."

"Wait a minute." Shi Lei stopped Yang Mi who was running out and said, "I brought two water trucks. You can get a tub of water and wash yourself properly."

"Wow~~That's great!! Thank you Brother Lei." Yang Mi screamed with joy, and even people not far away looked over.

"By the way, the one I want is Wang Zhaojun. You can go without makeup tonight, but you must wear decorations and clothes." Shi Lei reminded.

"Hehehe~~~Brother Lei, I understand!!" Yang Mi laughed happily and ran out skipping.

Shi Lei is now a boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and he also has connections in Hollywood, which he must seize.

Liu Yan looked at the excited Yang Mi, then at the outspoken Shi Lei, and secretly took note of Shi Lei's preferences in his heart.

"I want Wang Zhaojun. This boss is really good at playing tricks!"

Perhaps Yang Mi's scream worked, and the quarrel over there ended quickly.

Director Leng Bin came over with the male lead Luo Jialiang.

"Director Shi, thank you for taking the time to come and see us. Your arrival made the entire crew happy. I heard that you also brought two water trucks, which made everyone even happier."

A shower might not be possible, but at least you could clean yourself up with a towel.

"Haha, we are all very happy indeed." Shi Lei glanced meaningfully at Luo Jialiang beside him. It was normal for him to laugh so early.

Luo Jialiang's mouth twitched, how could he not hear Shi Lei's hidden meaning, but Shi Lei was the investor of the crew and the boss of a large company, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only change his expression and smiled, but he had just gotten angry and his anger hadn't subsided yet, so his smile didn't look natural at all.

"Director Shi, I'll show you around the crew."

"Okay, Director Leng, please."

Under Leng Bin's guidance, Shi Lei toured the entire crew. For the sake of authenticity, except for a few leading actors and some supporting roles, all the extras in the crew were Mongolians.

The protagonist Luo Jialiang was tanned to have a Mongolian skin color.

Fortunately, Wang Zhaojun was a Han princess, and the shooting progress was that Wang Zhaojun had just gone out of the frontier, and at this time she was still fair and clean.

His arrival did have an inspiring effect.

Taolin Film and Television is now the largest film and television production company in China. It spent 6000 million to produce the fantasy drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and another 3000 million to produce "Zhaojun Goes to the Frontier". Both of these dramas are big investments!

Shi Lei's personal visit to the set at this time further demonstrated his importance to this drama.

What's more, they also brought water, and I heard that they also prepared a whole roasted lamb.

That night, the entire crew and nearby herdsmen sang and danced, creating a lively atmosphere.

We also saw songs and dances full of Mongolian characteristics, and everyone had a great time.

After drinking for more than thirty minutes, Shi Lei moved into a yurt specially prepared for him. He originally wanted to live in a tent, but Leng Bin specially had someone prepare a yurt with new bedding.

Not long after he came in, a delicate voice rang out: "Brother Lei, can I come in?"

Shi Lei happily agreed: "Come in!"

A figure in cool clothes walked in. Who else could it be but Wang Zhaojun?

"Brother Lei, I will dance for you!" Wang Zhaojun smiled sweetly, full of charm.
