    At a tea restaurant in Xiangjiang, when Yuan Qiaoqiao came over, Gong Beibi had already arrived. He was sitting on his seat. When he saw her, he waved to her vigorously, "Here, here."

    After Yuan Qiaoqiao sat down opposite her, she expertly ordered: "Two shrimp wonton noodles, one roast goose, one braised pork belly, one garlic vegetable, and one crispy baked barbecued pork bun."  , and two lemon teas. Well, that¡¯s it. Thank you.¡±

    After the waiter left, Gong Beibi looked at Yuan Qiaoqiao carefully and said with a smile: "It's not easy to ask you out. With your previous attitude, I thought you would wait until the movie is finished before showing up."

    Yuan Qiaoqiao sighed and said: "It's not me who takes Qiao, I really don't have time.

    My plays are arranged very loosely, usually one in the early morning, one in the evening before work is over, and a few more in between.  Such an arrangement dragged me all along the set.

    "Stop complaining, let's switch. You can help me pick a time when I can meet you. See if I can pick it out?"  "

    Gong Beibi has been in the industry for many years and is also a senior member of the crew. As soon as she heard this, she knew that she was being squeezed out. She couldn't help but said: "No, you are still the heroine, and you are the heroine in the first movie you filmed in Hong Kong."  The protagonist is still in Guan Jinpeng¡¯s movie, it shows that your manager is very capable, why are you being bullied?¡±

    With a sneer, Yuan Qiaoqiao said: "You don't know how serious it is here in Xiangjiang to flatter others and suppress others?

    So what if I¡¯m the heroine?  There are so many movies opening every day in Xiangjiang, and not all of the crews can afford to hire celebrities. Many of them use newcomers as protagonists, but in the end, how many can stand out from them?

    ¡°I have no reputation, no qualifications, I came from the mainland, and I have no background. It¡¯s unclear what the future of the movie I will make will be. Isn¡¯t it normal for people not to take me seriously?  "

    Picking up the cup at hand, she took several sips of lemonade, and then said: "I can star in director Guan's movie because my agent is great, but this only means that she can help me get good resources, it does not mean that she can help me get good resources.  She will help me stand up when it comes to things like hierarchy in the industry.

    You know, unless there is a Ziwei star from the sky with a transcendent status, this pyramid-like status hierarchy is the default rule in the industry. My agent has never thought of challenging it, but he has always been in my ears.  Saying, let me work hard, work harder, and become famous quickly.  "

    After listening to her words, Gong Beibi, who has been in the industry for many years, but has always been tepid even though his acting skills are good, said with a bit of sadness: "You can't become popular in this industry just by hard work. If you want to be popular, you need 70% luck, plus 20%."  Strength, plus support from noble people.

    Without that kind of luck, even if you work harder than anyone else, have the strength, and have the support of noble people, it will only be a small fire at most, not a big fire.  Otherwise, there would be no such saying as "A big fire depends on life, a small fire depends on support".  "

    Her words made Yuan Qiaoqiao fall silent immediately, thinking of Baisuishan, who had worked with many top-tier stars and directors, made so many movies without success, and finally got out of the industry with a web drama.  Miss, as well as the two resource stars "Jiang Shuying" and "Li Yitong" in the drama circle, are the most obvious representatives of those who are highly praised but not popular.

    Yes, she has a golden finger, but for a drama to be popular, it really has metaphysics in it.

    There are many big dramas in the industry that were highly anticipated by everyone, but ended up being rejected after being aired, such as "The Legend of XX" starring a recognized acting star; there are also many dramas that were thought to be a bad drama or movie, but turned out to be bad after they were aired or screened.  Popular examples, such as "Gong Lock Heart Jade", which made Yang Mi a top-tier streamer, have been criticized for being a bad film, and were also accused of plagiarizing two dramas, "Meteor Garden" and "The Golden Branch".  But that still doesn't stop it from being popular, it's extremely popular.

    Therefore, she doesn¡¯t know if the drama that was so popular in its original history would still be popular if the actors were changed.

    After eating a piece of roast goose, she thought it tasted good. Yuan Qiaoqiao hurriedly called the waiter and asked him to pack a portion for her to take away when she returned to the set.

    Gong Beibi pointed to what she ordered on the table and said: "What I ordered are all the signature delicacies of this store. Not only does the roast goose taste good, but the others are also delicious. You can try it."

    Yuan Qiaoqiao tasted two more things, and they were indeed delicious. She hurriedly called the waiter over and asked him to pack a portion for her according to what was on the table.

    "Hey, hey, that's too much. Auntie only has one stomach. If you order so much, can she eat it?" Gong Beibi didn't know that Gu Huxin didn't have lunch on the set, so he hurriedly stopped him, "If you like it, come back and have a meal with Auntie."  Come and eat it here, otherwise, take it back and throw it away if you can¡¯t eat it, it¡¯s a waste.¡±

    "Don't worry, it won't be wasted." Although Yuan Qiaoqiao endured it after Gu Huxin's persuasion, there was a hint of resentment in her words when she mentioned this moment, "The crew did not provide my aunt with a lunch box. I came out this time.  ?She originally had the task of bringing her food. Roasted goose and braised meat are cold dishes, but now they are too hot to be eaten. It won't go bad if she eats them at the next meal.  "

    "What do you mean by not providing lunch boxes?" Gong Beibi asked in surprise, "Auntie is not only a family member, but also your assistant. The actors and assistants are included in the food and accommodation provided by the crew.

    How could they do this? It¡¯s too much. Isn¡¯t this bullying?  Are you just acquiescing?  Doesn¡¯t the director even care?  "

    Yuan Qiaoqiao did not mention her situation in the crew, nor did she mention what Gu Huxin said to persuade her. She took Wu Jing's experience on the crew of "The Master of Tai Chi" as an example.

    "Did you know that Wu Jing became famous last year with the hit drama "The Master of Tai Chi"?"

    Seeing her nodding to show her understanding, she continued: "At first, I filmed on this crew for a few days, but then due to some reasons, just like the crew of "Will Love", I quit midway.

    A contracted artist under Ba Ye in Wu Jing Circle, the drama "Tai Chi Master" is not only produced by Ba Ye, but the characters in it are also tailor-made for him. But when it comes to dinner, he will definitely be the leading actor late.  In one step, there is only white rice left in the lunch box and no vegetables.

    After this situation happened several times in a row, he became angry and started arguing with the crew, which alarmed the director.  After the director asked about it, he only used it for a few days. Not only did it return to its original state, sometimes there was no food left, and there was even no rice left, only two dry steamed buns.

    There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below. Although the director is the top leader in the crew, the king of hell is easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with.  "

    Picking up the water glass at hand, Yuan Qiaoqiao drank the lemonade and drank two kilograms of white dry. She put the empty glass down heavily and said, "Wu Jing is treated like this when he is on his own crew and filming in mainland China."  , even if I make a big fuss, I'm afraid it won't produce any good results, and I will be the one who suffers in the end.

    As for the director, as the "big boss" of the entire crew, he does not prepare ahead of time. When shooting, he is not only responsible for the on-site shooting, but also guides the prop team to complete the layout of props and the lighting, actors, and lighting of the shooting scene.  The work of various departments such as photography, sound recording, art, makeup, stage management, and costumes is very complicated.

    There are at least hundreds of people up and down. It¡¯s not just the actors who are being bullied. In fact, other departments may not get along well with each other. Therefore, every second is a matter. If the director is in charge, then there will be no filming?  Therefore, as long as the shooting is not delayed, he will not care even if the human brain is beaten into a dog brain.  "

    Sighing, she added: "Besides, most of the behind-the-scenes staff in the crew have worked with Director Guan for many years and filmed many movies together, but I only worked with him on this one. I don't know what the next collaboration will be.  When, maybe there will be no next time.

    Therefore, I have a conflict with the crew. Which side do you think the director should take?

    Logically speaking, whoever is responsible should follow the rule, but don't forget that there is a saying in this world that "the rule of law is not as good as human feelings".

    ¡°One is his working partner for many years, and some may even be friends, and the other is just a new artist to work with. No matter which side he stands on, he can always make sense, and there are things that are appropriate and inappropriate.

    It¡¯s best if the director pretends not to know, doesn¡¯t take sides, and just keeps to himself.

    "Some actors' feuds were caused by the grudges on the crew and were reported by the media. Did the director on the crew not care about it at the time?  The reasons are mostly similar to Guan Dao.  "

    Gong Beibi couldn¡¯t help but sighed with emotion: ¡°It¡¯s so complicated.¡±

    Yuan Qiaoqiao smiled and agreed: "Yes, it is indeed quite complicated."

    Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit down and dull, Gong Beibi quickly changed the subject and reminded her: "By the way, the videos here are all in Cantonese, and you speak Mandarin. Do you need to find someone to dub it again in the later stage?

    Since you have signed up as Sister Kuan, I am afraid that you will have to come to Hong Kong to film in the future. No matter how good your acting is, if the film is not the original voice, you will not be able to participate in the awards, so you'd better learn Cantonese as soon as possible.  "

    Yuan Qiaoqiao nodded and said: "Fortunately, because of the character setting in the film, I always speak Mandarin, and my Cantonese is a little bit behind when I speak my lines directly during filming. But in the later stage, I did the dubbing myself.  completely fine.

    But you are right, we really need to step up our Cantonese learning.  If not for anything else, I just want to avoid looking like a fool when someone laughs and curses me with slang, thinking that the other person is friendly. I also need to learn Cantonese quickly.  "

    Gong Beibi did not hear the information revealed in her words. He took a piece of braised meat and ate it slowly, and asked: "After the filming of this movie is completed, what are your plans? Will you go back to the mainland or stay in Xiangjiang?"

    "I can't tell." Yuan Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, "Before, Sister Kuan helped me negotiate a Hong Kong movie called "Unmanned Driving". It is a literary film focusing on the love of rebellious underage girls. The investment has been quite good.  It won¡¯t be easy. The start-up time has not yet been decided, so we can¡¯t decide whether to return to the mainland or not.¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)I talked about a Hong Kong movie called "Unmanned Driving".
