Chapter No.17 Vortex

The increasingly heavy rain puts everyone in a bad mood.

From the night Li Hua arrived in Tokyo, it has been raining continuously. Although it has little effect on the indoor scenes, after all, this is an action movie, and the outdoor scenes still account for the largest proportion.

In this way, cost control may be a problem.

Although it is said that the filming did not exceed the budget, the difference is only the amount; but in the current situation of Qiao Ya's current budget that needs to be unprecedentedly tight, the faces of the producers, directors and on-site staff are inevitably a little ugly.

"He has a big money owner investing in it, why are you worried." It was a voice without pressure.

Fang Ruoqi squinted at the big manager who had been wanting to laugh out loud since the morning, and began to wonder if the heavy rain had flooded his mind.

Fortunately, she is just reading the script in the waiting room, waiting for her moment to appear.And the scenes that are filmed now belong to the actor's solo and indoor scenes with other actors.

It is surprising that Joya can still find investment at this time.

"That financial tycoon," Fang Ruoqi didn't name her specifically, but the two people present understood that she was referring to the very rich Mr. Hao Yougan, "I remember that he has withdrawn almost all his investments since this year." ?”

"Yes, but a centipede, dead but not stiff. Qiao Ya is considered to be the earliest film company out of Taiwan, and has a good relationship with some related companies here in Japan..."

Oh, so this time the filming location will be chosen in Japan?She said so.This is much better than any "cost saving" reason.Everyone knows that although Japan is relatively close to Taiwan, neither labor nor consumption is less than that of the United States on the other side of the ocean, and in many cases there is only more.

After figuring out this verse, she turned her attention back to the script.

If the rain can stop today, we can catch up with the Ferris wheel scene.She silently tapped and tapped the script with her fingers, wondering who the legendary actor who played the leading role's young sister with a considerable background was.

When the script was finalized and handed over to her, the cast of this character was still blank. It was said that it was still under negotiation, and it was not confirmed until the crew set off to Tokyo.

Although the role of this younger sister does not appear many times, they are all on charming point. She is a very flattering and challenging role, and she is easy to win awards.It fully shows the screenwriter's love for this role.

Some scenes even have the danger of surpassing the heroine's demeanor.It just depends on whether the actor has the strength.

She can think of not many people who can play this role, or even almost none - such a keyman is a girl in her early teens, and her acting skills need to be superb.

It really makes people look forward to the casting of the producer, she secretly smiled.Immediately, I felt a little mean again.

Recently, it seems that my thinking has been very tense, and it may not be possible to get rid of my meanness.

The phone screen showed that she had been sitting in the waiting room for 4 hours. She began to consider whether to go out to replenish energy and eat something. It's a bit greasy to eat.

I don't know which senior said it, but the last thing you should be afraid of as an actor is "waiting". She waits relatively little; Li Xiang is not bad, but Li Hua—well, Li Hua.

She rubbed her eyes, trying to relax a little.

It has been No.13 since Li Hua made his debut.

In the past ten years, the weather has been almost unfavorable, but the first three years are exactly the opposite of her.

No one watches the acting, no one buys the records, the host doesn’t let him appear at all, and occasionally runs a variety show and can be edited so that there is not even a scum left. Who is black.

Until the appearance of director Li Xiangli, he supported him everywhere and made him the leading actor in three of his films in a row, and he was praised as the king of actors and superstars of a generation.

Everyone's memory of Li Hua starts from those three plays, because before that, his name was not Li Hua.

This period of history is not very well known, including Li Hua's fan club Zhongye who just mentioned it.Even the relevant people are silent.

"There must be some reason."

Manager Lin finally stopped his slightly unpleasant smile, held the two cups of coffee he took from the staff, and handed one to her.By the way, there is also a bag of signature snacks from a well-known confectionery shop on the basement floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi.

She glanced at the huge LOGO on the paper cup and packaging bag, and sighed.

"Didn't you say that the finances are tight, why are you still so extravagant? The restaurant you settled in is good, even coffee." In fact, she doesn't like coffee, but she has no choice but to take it because of her good intentions. Are you planning it?"

She hadn't forgotten that some people were trying to sabotage the film during filming.

"No matter how powerful I am, I can't control the weather." It was still Lin Lixiang's relaxed voice.

Fang Ruoqi still likes her manager and good...friend very much.Sometimes she actually doubts whether Lixiang also regards herself as a friend, but she is still willing to believe in something that is beneficial to her.

"But Li Hua is not an ordinary person." Li Xiang didn't speak after leaving such a sentence, and the whole lounge fell silent in vain.It wasn't until a staff member knocked on the door that he recovered from the silence.

"Don't worry, there will never be another bombing." When he went to open the door, he whispered in her ear.

This sentence goes back to the New Yorker three years ago.On the last day of location shooting in New York, the last take, due to the mistakes of the crew and the blasting staff, the amount of gunpowder was put in too much, and the lead wire was shorter, so the blasting time was 30 seconds earlier than the director told her.

30 seconds is enough to kill a bunch of people.

Fortunately, the hero at that time had quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed her and rolled away.

At that moment, she was almost completely sluggish, not to mention making any evasive movements, she couldn't even move.If it weren't for the male lead, I'm afraid she would have died on the spot, and the subsequent news reports would not have said "no casualties".

It was his own savior, even though he read it for a full month afterwards, until he returned to Taiwan and started filming.In fact, that person is a very enthusiastic and kind person.

She lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

"That's right, if there is another explosion, there will be no Tong Jingyang to save me this time."

It is rare to see Lin Lixiang's panicked expression, but fortunately this time, let her realize her dream.

Her big manager almost rolled out of the lounge door that was opened by herself.rounded.

The Japanese are the most ambiguous nation in the world, and they are also the least good at looking at other people's eyes and speaking.

But this common sense basically does not apply to outsiders.

So when the director obsequiously introduced to her the most important guest actor on location in Japan, she was attracted by those unprepared and calculating eyes.

Although she is still just a little girl, she can already see that she is born with beauty and has a neither humble nor overbearing attitude. I just don't know if she has the talent for acting.

"Miss Fang," the girl said, a little cautiously, "is Miss Fang dating Li Hua?"

It's not a secret anymore, so she squatted down, looked at this beautiful little girl with a smile, and said with a smile: "Yes, do you like Li Hua too?"

The girl shook her head, but hesitated a little, as if she was hesitating for something.

"Miss Fang, I like you very much... Li Hua is not a good love partner," the little girl finally said, but she didn't expect her words to be so mature, "He... can't be happy because he In no mood."

I don't know why such a nonsensical remark came out, Fang Ruoqi was about to ask, only to hear someone calling "Miss Xinming" from a distance, and the girl bowed to her nearly 90 degrees bowed and left.

She felt a little troubled, watching the little girl called "Miss Xinming" run away, Fang Ruoqi fell silent.I don't know how long she was in a daze, but suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder.She shook violently, turned around and saw the male lead of the play, who was also the male lead of the conversation just now, standing behind her.

"See the new name Saxue? The little girl who plays my sister." This is not a question, but a statement.

She nodded and sighed involuntarily.

"I hope she will not go to Taiwan to develop in the future."

Too strong a competitor, and so young——I almost sighed at this thought, but stopped because of the male protagonist's hand reaching out to rub his hair.

"Don't think about it so much, I haven't even said I wish you hadn't shown up." He laughed, "My record of being the King of Performing Arts was broken by you."

The little girl with Chang Ji greeted them both and ran away with a flushed face, while saying, "I'm so envious, I'm very jealous, but I'm really a good match".

She looked back at her nominal boyfriend standing behind her - no, it should not be said that it was only in name now, after that night, the relationship between her and Li Hua became very delicate.When appearing in front of everyone, it is natural that you and I have a lot of affection. Both actors have an advantage in this regard, as long as there are no two people left alone.

It's not that I don't want to, I'm just a little scared.

Li Hua is not as gentlemanly as he appears on the outside, harmless and kind.She clearly remembered his cold eyes and cold smile.He really doesn't like himself, although it's not to the point of hating him, but it's far from "like".

This conclusion was too hurtful, to the point that she was very unwilling to accept it.

It's a pity that the reality is not that she can not accept it if she doesn't want to accept it, just like it is not that she can not like this bastard if she wants to.

Director Yue Xingkong is greeting the two protagonists and preparing to start the next filming.

The weather outside was so good that it was hard to imagine that it was still pouring rain just now.Finally, it was not in vain to wait for several hours.

Under the not-so-violent sun, the wind blowing against our faces was still a bit piercing.Fang Ruoqi pulled up the zipper of her coat, trying her best to wrap her entire neck within the coverage of the clothes.

Tian Wang's boyfriend handed over a scarf, but she didn't reach out to pick it up in a daze.Li Hua smiled softly, and with his usual elegant moves, wrapped the white cashmere scarf around her neck, with a look of pampering that was about to drip honey.

She closed her eyes and tried her best to disconnect her mind from her body, including ignoring the envious sighs around her.When he calmed down, he smiled, looked back into Li Hua's eyes, and said softly, thank you, with the same gentle but slightly shy expression.

The play must be full, since there are so many onlookers and his invitation, she naturally can't show weakness.

Maybe it’s been a few days in a row, but the bustling Ferris wheel in the past has very few tourists today—this is good news for shooting, and it can even save a lot of money for booking, anyway, it’s almost the same as booking today, isn’t it? ?

She stood on the steps of the steel platform at the entrance of the Ferris wheel, looked up at the Ferris wheel so tall that it almost reached into the sky (this should be an illusion), and began to rejoice that she did not have a fear of heights—but even if she did not have a fear of heights, she probably would Wouldn't it be a great tragedy for her to look down?

The scene is not complicated.Only the hero and heroine plus the hero’s sister are needed to sit in the Ferris wheel—this is from the perspective of shooting.As far as the plot is concerned, the hero and heroine accompany the terminally ill younger sister to ride the Ferris wheel. This is the last hope of the younger sister. I hope that the two who have been repeatedly destroyed and misunderstood each other can face up to their feelings, resolve the misunderstanding, and finally be together.

This can be regarded as the last climax/tide in the play, a very important scene.There are a lot of lines, and the action is quite intense. Because the cars of the Ferris wheel are relatively narrow, a camera will be set up on the front and rear cars of the cars they are riding in, and two photographers will be equipped. There was no room for any more people to fit in the car where the three of them were.So there is only one camera with a fixed tripod and position facing the three people, and the director's instructions will be announced through small earphones worn by the three people.

The wind was really strong, and the car was shaking constantly. When Fang Ruoqi was the last to step on the car, she staggered and almost fell out. If it wasn't for Li Hua who entered first to give her a hand, she might at least have to A dog □□.she thinks.

The Ferris wheel began to turn slowly, and she began to wonder if the photographers in the front and rear cars could really clearly capture what they were performing?The entire car was almost shaking into a sieve.At this moment, he saw Li Hua softly whispering something in Xin Ming's ear, and although Xin Ming's face was already pale and his expression was stiff, he still nodded reluctantly.

Fang Ruoqi sat across from the two of them, and began to formally consider that there must be some problem between the two of them, or was it related to the big plan?she laughs.The director's hysterical voice came out of the earphones.

"Several people! Please! Don't procrastinate anymore, change positions and start shooting!"

How could it be that the male and female protagonists are sitting on both sides of the Ferris wheel car? It is obviously unreasonable.Even if the movie is not broadcast live, it doesn’t matter if you recite the wrong lines, but there should be no problem with the shooting angle.

She saw Li Hua showing a weird smile from an angle that the camera couldn't capture, and the next second, there was a "boom", and Xin Mingshaxue fell to the ground with a bloodless face.

The ferris wheel was still turning slowly, and she couldn't say anything for a moment, all she could see was Li Hua eagerly hugging the unconscious little girl, shouting loudly at the camera, let us get down quickly, Miss Xinming passed out!

There was a chaotic and noisy sound from the earphones, mixed with the director's roar, you can imagine what it means to be a mess.

She stared blankly at the man with outstanding acting skills in front of her, looking at his panicked but calm eyes, Fang Ruoqi finally understood.

From the very beginning, it was his plan that he would not let the filming continue.

The addition of the new name Saxue to the performance is one of the conditions for the investor to invest in Joya, so the role of this younger sister is so loved; and during the filming process, any problems with the new name Saxue will become An excuse for investors to withdraw capital.

After losing two major investments in succession, the investment from Japan is Joya's last straw.

Suddenly everything became clear to her.

This is a start.

No, this is just the beginning.
