Mr. President's Little Banana [Entertainment]

Seeing that no one answered, the foreman asked loudly again: "Is Mr. Xiao Jiao here?"

The noisy crowd gradually quieted down. Those who knew Xiao Jiao turned their heads to look at him suspiciously, and those who didn't know him asked the people around them, "Who is Xiao Jiao? Is there a character like this in our crew?"

Xiao Jiao hesitated and raised his hand: "I, I am here."

The crowd made way consciously or unconsciously.

The foreman had seen the photo sent by Yuan Shaojun, and his eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Jiao, and walked quickly to him, saluted him very standardly, and said, "Hello, Mr. prepared dinner."

With a wave, a waiter brought up a set of exquisite folding tables and chairs, put them in front of Xiao Jiao and unfolded them, and another waiter put a large gilt tray with a cover on the table, and then lifted the cover, revealing The four dishes and one soup served in a small cup are full of fragrance.

"Wow--"

The whole crew let out an exclamation at the same time.

The foreman opened the dining chair and gestured with a smile on his face, "Mr. Xiao, please take your time and wish you a pleasant meal."

"Thank you, thank you." Under the stares of hundreds of pairs of incredible eyes, Xiao Jiao sat down in a daze, and began to eat at a loss.

Fortunately, the crowd of onlookers dispersed quickly, because several other waiters began to distribute the set meals.

The foreman has been accompanying Xiao Jiao all the time to serve him specially, serving him vegetables, serving soup, adding rice, everything is done properly and thoughtfully.

There is no special cafeteria in the filming location, the crew eats standing or squatting, and being able to sit on a chair is a status symbol. Xiao Jiao's treatment is unprecedented, and naturally arouses everyone's envy and suspicion .

This kid is obviously a deadbeat. It is said that he has only been in the industry for ten days. Yesterday he was so poor that he could only buy instant noodles. How can he let Yuncheng Chunqiu, who has always been more airy than others, provide special services?It is even more miraculous than an old hen turning into a duck!

But no matter who wanted to make stereotypes, the mouths of the foreman and all the waiters could not be pried open like clamshells, and the answer was always only six words: "Sorry, no comment."

This makes people even more curious, almost astonishingly curious.

The director is suffocating to death.

Among the hundred or so people in the entire crew, the only one who knows the inside story is probably the director.

That day, the investment manager of Tianqi Media made a special trip to find him, saying that Tianqi is optimistic about their film "Beauty in the Beacon Fire", and that it should have good market benefits in the future. At the same time, he thinks that a newcomer named Xiao Jiao has great potential, so Decided to invest 1000 million in their crew, the only additional condition is to add drama to this newcomer.

Having worked in this industry for 30 years and being used to all kinds of transactions and inside stories, the director just wants to say "hehe" to this, and if he wants to flatter people, he can just say, everyone understands, so why bother with that tongue.Before that, as a director himself, he only had a general impression of Xiao Jiao, a small character with only a few shots. How did Tianqi see that this kid had potential?It must be that the newly appointed Yuan Ershao had some indescribable thoughts when he saw his photos on the Internet. Like his countless predecessors, he wanted to play an unspoken rule.

It's a pity that he has to abide by the unwritten rules of the industry when he knows each other well, and keep the secret for that Yuan Ershao and can't reveal it to the outside world, otherwise it will be difficult to mix in the future, so even if he is suffocated, he can't do anything explain.

Xiao Jiao was at a loss at the beginning, he didn't know why the pie that fell from the sky would hit his head impartially, but he forgot everything after eating it, because it was so delicious!It's so delicious that it makes people cry!

In the end, he ate all the four dishes and one soup, which was not a small amount, and even drank the soup without a drop, and finally burped a little.

The foreman waved again, and the waiter cleaned up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks in a well-trained manner and put them back in the cart, then asked, "Mr. Xiao, are you satisfied with our dishes and services?"

"Satisfied! I can't be more satisfied!" Xiao Jiao affirmed sincerely, "Today's dinner is the most delicious meal I have ever had in my life!"

It tastes even better than the meal I had with the crew of "The Secret History of the West Palace" at Jinghong Hotel last time!

"Thank you for your compliment. I look forward to your visit to our store when you are free. We have more dishes waiting for you to taste. Goodbye." The foreman bowed with a smile, and then left with his waiters.

Then Xiao Jiao was surrounded by a group of people, who asked him who the mysterious person who just treated him was.

Xiao Jiao also looked bewildered, he didn't know, he was shocked at first, but then he was so busy eating, he didn't think to ask this question at all.

Everyone was bored and scattered in all directions.

"Tch, I don't want to talk about pulling down, why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"Before, I pretended to be poor, saying that the fast food sold outside was too expensive, but now...hehe."

"Up to now, I don't even know where the door of Yuncheng Spring and Autumn opens. It's someone who has the ability to hug which golden thigh without making a sound. Why don't I have such good luck?"

"Luck? Haven't you looked in the mirror? They are white, tender and delicious little bananas, and you are chewing old bark full of scum!"

"Bah! You are an old bark, and your whole family is an old bark! If you have the ability, go to a rich and powerful benefactor!"

"..."

Xiao Jiao didn't hear any of these gossips, he just relished the big meal just now contentedly, and then the cell phone in the satchel rang.

Xiao Jiao took it out and saw that it was Yuan Shaojun's call, and immediately picked it up happily, and the other party asked, "How was the dinner just now?"

Xiao Jiao replied excitedly: "It's so delicious! I ate all of it! Hey, how do you know that I just finished dinner? Ah, I see, it's..."

The person on the other end of the phone immediately stopped him, with a hint of a smile in his tone, "Just know it, don't yell so that others can hear it, or you won't be able to eat it if someone snatches it away next time." .”

Xiao Jiao forgot that the other party couldn't see, so he nodded hurriedly. He was not willing to give up such a delicious meal to others!

Immediately, he thought of a question, and he felt a little distressed, and asked in a low voice, "Second Young Master, you must have spent a lot of money on that meal just now?"

At that time, there were hundreds of people on the production team. Even according to the usual meal fee of 15 yuan per person, this meal would cost one to two thousand yuan.But Yuncheng Chunqiu's meals are much more delicious than ordinary box lunches, I'm afraid they will be much more expensive.

Yuan Shaojun knew what this stingy man was thinking, and wrote lightly: "Not much, I know the manager of their restaurant, and they gave me a special discounted price, a total of 800 yuan. If you like the taste of this restaurant, I will let them buy it again tomorrow." deliver."

Xiao Jiao was a little relieved, but 800 yuan was not a lot, and he could spend almost a month by himself, so he immediately said: "No, it's too extravagant. They all come to ask me who gave it to me. I don't even know how to answer. And it's not good to let that restaurant lose money, I just eat the box lunch of the crew."

Yuan Shaojun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Yuncheng Chunqiu would have a business that lost money. The service fee for delivery this time was much higher than the price of the food itself, but it's just that there's no need for this stingy guy to know about it.

Seeing Xiao Jiao's insistence, he compromised and said: "Okay, then I won't give it away. But from now on, you have to eat on time in a regular manner, and don't eat those unhealthy and nutritious things to fill your stomach, or you will ruin your body How do you film after that, you know?"

Xiao Jiao obediently agreed this time: "Got it!"

In the cafeteria of a five-star hotel in Xilin City, a man with square hair, big ears and combed hair came over with a glass of champagne, leaned on the pillar next to Yuan Shaojun with a familiar face, and looked at Yuan Shaojun He calls.

Yuan Shaojun had a slight impression of this person, and he talked eloquently for more than an hour at the seminar in the afternoon, and the guy who made him drowsy seemed to be the boss of some company, surnamed Ma, who had invested in several commercial films, one of which was It seemed to make a lot of money when it was released earlier this year.

Yuan Shaojun originally wanted to chat with Xiao Jiao for a while, but the boss Ma just stayed by and refused to leave, which made him feel awkward even if he said anything.

Tonight is a buffet organized by the Golden Sunflower Film Festival Organizing Committee for the guests to communicate and get to know each other.From the beginning of the dinner to the present, many men and women wanted to come over to strike up a conversation with him, but he avoided it with a look of indifference.Those people saw that he was not willing to talk and left consciously. It was the first one who was so uninterested like Boss Ma.

Reluctantly, he had no choice but to say to the phone depressedly: "I have something to do here, so hang up first."

Xiao Jiao at the other end immediately said: "Okay, you can go to work, goodbye!"

Chapter 24 (Announcement of Entering V)

Just as Yuan Shaojun put away his phone, Boss Ma greeted him familiarly: "Second Young Master Yuan, right? I know your elder brother, Mr. Yuan, and we had dinner together a few months ago. I didn't expect to have dinner with you again today. What a fate!"

Fate ass!Yuan Shaojun cursed secretly, barely maintaining the basic etiquette on his face and said: "Hehe, is that right?"

"Yeah!" Boss Ma took a sip of his wine with a sip, with the expression of a big brother taking care of his little brother, "Yuan Ershao, you are in charge of Tianqi Media now, right? Earn, I can’t produce a decent work. Your elder brother originally wanted to dispose of it, and I also planned to buy it, but I didn’t expect it to be taken over by you. You said that you are so young. Why bother? With this energy, it’s not as good as Go eat, drink and have fun, and transfer Tianqi to me, so as not to lose money into a bottomless pit and not be able to explain to your elder brother."

"I didn't expect that Boss Ma still has a hobby of collecting junk, but our Yuan family's property, even if it is junk, there is no reason to throw it away." Yuan Shaojun sneered, "Besides, now that I am here, it is not certain whether it is junk or not. "

Boss Ma got bored, and the fat on his face trembled, "What do you mean, I'm thinking of you, it's fine if you don't appreciate it, don't cry if you lose your underwear in the future." He walked away angrily.

Yuan Shaojun was so angry that he almost lifted the dinner plate in front of him, Xuete!Does he just have a prodigal face who doesn't do business and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun? !

When he was getting angry, someone next to him asked expectantly, "Excuse me, is this Yuan Ershao from Tianqi Media?"

Yuan Shaojun turned his head with a dark face, "So what!"

The man was in his thirties, wearing a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, a crumpled shirt tucked into the waistband of his trousers, and holding a stack of A4 paper-bound books in his hand. He stammered and said: "Yuan Ershao, hello, I, my name is Du Xiaotian, I am a writer and screenwriter. I wrote a story. Are you interested? Let me know about it?"

Here comes another one, is the labor and management a Kaizi?Yuan Shaojun sneered viciously: "You should talk smoothly before you come to sell this young master!"

Du Xiaotian's originally pale face was blue and red intertwined, embarrassed and at a loss, he wanted to say something but didn't say it, turned around after a while, and ran away.

Yuan Shaojun snorted coldly, casually ate some food on the plate, then got up and left the restaurant.

Staying in this kind of place is really suffocating, it's a waste of time, it's better to go back to the room and sleep!

……

After finishing the call, Xiao Jiao was still holding the phone and was reluctant to put it down. After a while, Li Siqi came over to look at him, and said with a broken smile: "Look at your oily face, like a colorful cat, go, go and touch up your makeup with my sister. "

Xiao Jiao smiled embarrassedly, got up and went to the dressing room with Li Siqi.

Li Siqi gave him a few wipes to wipe off his face, and then put on his makeup again, jokingly said: "Little Banana, my post in the morning worked well, but I didn't expect you to be so popular. It would be great if you have more than [-] fans, but it turned out to be [-], which is really incredible."

Xiao Jiao said honestly, "I didn't expect that either."

Li Siqi then joked: "Just now, I followed you and ate the highest-level and most delicious boxed lunch since I joined the company. I think the mysterious person who treats the guests may be a fan of yours."

She was also quite curious about this question, and couldn't help but want to analyze it with the person involved.Just now she heard some people in the crew asking Xiao Jiao about the origin of the mysterious person, and she also heard Xiao Jiao's answer, but she didn't think that he was hiding it deliberately like others.This little banana can't tell who it is, so it should be really ignorant.

Xiao Jiao did not know about it just now, but now it is different, he couldn't help explaining happily: "It's not a fan, it's my good friend, I only found out when he called me just now."

Li Siqi was surprised and said: "Wow, you are such a good friend, you are not an ordinary person!"

Xiao Jiao spontaneously felt a sense of pride, and said happily, "Well, he is very powerful, he understands everything."

Li Siqi became even more curious when she heard this, and just about to ask who this person is, a theater manager came in and handed him a piece of paper, and said, "This is the script for your last scene tonight, the scriptwriter just came out, This scene is still going to be filmed at the pier. Let’s go, watch it on the road later, it’s all waiting for you.”

Xiao Jiao hurriedly got up and said goodbye to Li Siqi, then followed a group of staff members into a bus, opened the paper to look at it after driving.

After the second scene of searching for people on the pier, in this scene, the boy just found the boatman Lao Liao, and was shot by a murderous spy who dressed up as a civilian and would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Vest.Then the little guy only had time to say "transfer immediately", and fell from the bridge into the river, tragically ending his young life.

Sitting in the row in front of him, Li Quan suddenly remembered and asked him, "Can you swim?"

Xiao Jiao was a little confused, "I don't know..."

He really doesn't know, because whether he was a banana tree before or became a human, he has lived on land and has never been in the water, so he has no concept of swimming.

"Yes, yes, no, no, what is ignorance!" Li Quan rolled his eyes, "Do I need to find a substitute for you?"

Xiao Jiao hurriedly said: "No need for now, I will try my best!"

Who can use a substitute?He knew this, and they were all famous and important actors. When encountering difficult, dangerous, or inconvenient scenes to shoot, he would let low-level actors act instead of him.He is just a trick, how could he find someone else to act as a substitute for him.

He has seen other people swimming on TV, and it doesn't seem difficult, as long as he swings his arms and kicks his legs, he can swim around in the water like a fish.At that time, he will do the same, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Li Quan said disapprovingly: "It's not that difficult. When shooting, there will be lifeguards watching outside the camera to prevent accidents. Even if you really can't swim, you won't be drowned."

Xiao Jiao immediately felt more relieved, "Oh, that's good."

Then he went to shoot.

This was another location scene, and the relevant personnel of the crew drove to the riverside wharf in the north of Yuncheng again.

This area looks picturesque with mountains, green waters and picturesque scenery during the day, but at night, the wind is high and the waves are rough, adding a gloomy atmosphere.

Objectively speaking, this play is not difficult, and the lines are especially simple, mainly due to the judging of body and expression.Before the little guy dies, there will be a close-up of his face that advances rapidly from a distance. Xiao Jiao should show the sudden shock when he was shot, and the joy on his face when he finally found Lao Liao. After the lines of two words are poured straight into the river, the picture looks sad and tragic.

Before the start, the director specially emphasized to all the extras and staff, especially Xiao Jiao, that if you fall into the water, you will get wet. It's good to pass at once.

No one wanted to stay in this ghostly place to feed the mosquitoes at night, so they agreed readily.

If it was the leading role, the director might not emphasize it so much, but this is just a small supporting role, which is dispensable to the whole plot, and there is really no need to go to great lengths to shoot it repeatedly, as long as there are no major mistakes, it will be fine.

On the other hand, after the first few scenes were filmed, the director had to admit that Xiao Jiao was extremely intelligent and indeed had a talent for acting. The second young master Yuan still has a bit of vision.If Xiao Jiao can maintain the previous state in this scene, the one-time problem should not be too big.

Xiao Jiao's nerves immediately tensed up when he heard it, and he thought in his heart that he must do it once, and he must not drag the entire crew to accompany him to reshoot because of his mistakes.

Even though the depth under the bridge was pitch black, he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

After all the units are ready, the scene will be recorded and the filming will officially start.

Under the director's instruction, the 2-minute scene went very smoothly, and Xiao Jiao's demeanor and movements were almost impeccable. The river water was filmed for a few more seconds before the director finally shouted "OK".

Changji cheered: "Emma is really not easy, today I can finally call it a day early!"

The rest of the people followed suit and packed up the instruments and props.

The actor playing Lao Liao looked at Jiang Mian, and suddenly said, "It's strange, why hasn't Xiao Jiao come up yet?"

The cameraman joked: "Maybe it's because the water is cool, that kid wants to soak for a while."

"Old Liao" wondered: "It's a little different. He hasn't shown his face since he entered the water. He won't be washed away by the river, right?"

The lifeguard in charge of responding was leisurely smoking a cigarette on the bank and waiting to get on the bus to return to the city. After hearing this sentence, his face couldn't help but change.

The director frowned and asked, "Can Xiao Jiao know how to swim?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, apparently unaware.

"Yes, he said to try it himself." Li Quan had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer, then turned his head and blamed the lifeguard: "What's wrong with you, didn't you let you watch it?"

The lifeguard defended: "No one told me he couldn't swim, so I thought nothing would happen!"

The director almost vomited blood, and cursed: "Fuck, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and save people!"

That kid must not have any accidents, otherwise how could he explain to Tianqi!

The lifeguard quickly threw the cigarette butt, and plunged into the water.

A few of the crew with good water skills also went into the water to search, and the lighting engineer hurriedly moved the headlights to illuminate the river.

After a while, the prop master found Xiao Jiao first, lifted him out of the water with a splash, and then several people hurriedly pulled him ashore.

Xiao Jiao's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, his whole body was dripping wet, and there was a lot of river silt on his body, he lay motionless on the ground, his chest didn't even rise and fall, and he looked lifeless.
