Chapter 37 Jing Tian Calls to Express Her Grievances!
Jinyun, Xiandu Holiday Hotel.
Filming wrapped up that night, and it was already past nine o'clock. The crew arranged for the actors who had to film in Jinyun the next day to stay at a nearby hotel.
Xu Lang was one of them.
He was chatting with Meng Ziyi, Jing Tian, Chai Biyun, Yang Rong, and Yang Mi, and was unaware of the situation on Meng Ziyi's side.
Anyway, he was quite calm, though a little tired.
I was too emotionally invested in today's scenes, and I became a bit immersed in them, which caused me to feel a little down.
After a brief chat, he went to take a shower.
My phone is lying on the bed, vibrating incessantly, with messages still coming in.
After taking a shower, I felt much better. I picked up my phone to reply to a message when there was a knock on the door.
Quickly turn off the screen and go open the door.
Yang Mi and Reba were standing at the door.
"Sister Mi, what brings you here?" Xu Lang was a little surprised.
Yang Mi's bright eyes sized him up:
"Just took a shower? Come on, let's go grab some late-night snacks, I'll give you a pep talk!"
"Give me some advice?" Xu Lang asked, surprised and puzzled.
Eating late-night snacks is fine with me; but counseling... where do I even begin?
Yang Mi urged, "You got too caught up in those scenes this afternoon. Don't you need your older sister to give you some pointers? Come on, stop dawdling, it's on me!"
"Yes, sir!" Xu Lang replied righteously, raising his voice slightly, and turned to enter the house.
"I'll change my clothes!"
He's still wearing his pajamas.
……
About ten minutes later, the three arrived at a nearby barbecue stall, in a corner of the room.
Qiao Zhenyu had just returned to the hotel and finished washing up when he went to find Xu Lang, only to learn that Xu Lang had gone out for a late-night snack with Yang Mi.
First, they asked if there were only two people?
Xu Lang mentioned that Dilraba was also there, and he said he wanted to come too.
With Yang Mi's consent, Xu Lang told him the detailed address; as soon as the barbecue was served, he arrived.
"Teacher Zhenyu, you timed this perfectly!" Xu Lang said with a smile as he handed him a bowl and chopsticks, mainly to pour wine into his cup.
Qiao Zhenyu raised his glass and looked at everyone:
"I'm just filling in at the last minute, let me drink first!"
Yang Mi quickly raised his cup and said, "Not at all, let's drink together!"
We were all acquaintances from the same film crew, so we easily started talking, beginning with today's scene.
Yang Mi and the other two gave Xu Lang a thumbs up, making Xu Lang feel embarrassed, and he drank several cups in a row.
The second person to be praised is Qiao Zhenyu. He also gave a very emotional performance, and he even drank a few glasses, looking a little embarrassed.
Finally, Yang Mi was praised. Xu Lang and Qiao Zhenyu were like the straight men in a crosstalk performance, showering him with flattery.
After the mutual flattery, everyone had drunk quite a bit.
Xu Lang finally turned his gaze to Dilraba, since the other three had all praised each other, and he couldn't leave her out.
"Sister Mi, Dilraba is a very good rough diamond. She's improved a lot while you were away; her acting skills have steadily improved noticeably." Xu Lang said, raising his glass and looking at Dilraba, who was blushing and embarrassed.
"I believe that Dilraba's future is limitless, and she will definitely become a top star in the future. This toast is to the future top star."
Yang Mi and Qiao Zhenyu exchanged a smile, knowing that Xu Lang was taking care of Reba's feelings, and they both thought that this kid knew how to handle people.
Who wouldn't love a man who is so warm-hearted and considerate of others' feelings?
Qiao Zhenyu quickly raised his glass in agreement: "Dilraba has definitely improved recently, I'll join in too!"
Yang Mi picked up her wine glass and said, "Reba, don't just stand there, grab a glass!"
Reba picked up her glass, feeling a little embarrassed, clinked it with the three of them, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Dilraba's alcohol tolerance is quite good. From the beginning, when Xu Lang and the other two were toasting each other in a business setting, she didn't say anything, but she drank every single glass.
Now, Xu Lang and the other two were slightly tipsy, but she remained calm and showed no signs of being drunk.
Yang Mi poured wine for Reba and said:
"Reba, although I've been away for a while, I've kept up with Xu Lang to keep track of your progress, and I've seen it all."
"You have a very distinctive appearance, solid dance skills, and you're from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. As long as you're willing to put in the effort to hone your acting skills, I believe you can reach the top tier. Keep it up!"
Reba picked up her glass and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Honey!"
Yang Mi was her mentor, friend, and boss; gaining her approval was more valuable than anything else.
She was genuinely grateful.
Time slipped away quietly as we clinked glasses and exchanged toasts.
The four of them didn't return to the hotel until the early hours of the morning.
Xu Lang's phone had accumulated a lot of unread messages, which he diligently replied to. These were all connections, and he couldn't afford to neglect them.
He saw Zhao Liying's post on WeChat Moments, gave it a like, and then chatted with her privately for a few minutes.
Xu Lang knew that her path to becoming a hit was about cultivating a relationship beforehand so that she could "piggyback" on her success in the future.
Just as he finally lay down, his eyelids drooping, Jing Tian's video call request suddenly popped up.
Xu Lang forced himself to answer the call.
In the video, Jing Tian is dressed and washing her face. When she sees the video call connected, she smiles brightly.
"Hey, Xu Lang!"
"Sister Tian, why are you washing your face so late!"
"Ugh, don't even mention it, I just finished filming." Jing Tian picked up a washcloth from the side, wiped the water off her cheeks, grabbed her phone, and walked out of the bathroom toward the dressing table in the bedroom.
"Xu Lang, I'm so frustrated. I'm under so much pressure filming with big shots from Hong Kong. I keep getting retakes. They don't yell at me or say anything, but the look in their eyes..."
He complained to Xu Lang!
The main problem is that her acting skills are not up to par. After all, her opponent, a big shot from Hong Kong, is not a good actor to begin with, so she was probably crushed.
Poor acting skills are not a problem; the most important thing is not being able to keep up with the veteran actors' performances, which will prevent the veteran actors from getting into the emotional range and affect their performance.
Because of her background, although the big shots didn't say anything to her openly, including the director who suppressed his temper and communicated with her calmly, she still kept making frequent mistakes.
She poured out her grievances and even shed tears.
Being separated by distance, unable to offer a physical embrace, Xu Lang could only offer verbal comfort and teach her some simple techniques, though he wasn't sure if she would heed his words.
Pointing straight to the dead of night!
Xu Lang couldn't stay awake any longer and went to sleep.
The next day!
He was woken up by Qiao Zhenyu, and the two went to the film set together.
Today's scenes mainly consisted of the two actors' scenes together, but Dilraba has already returned to Hengdian to film.
"Teacher Xu Lang, you're in great spirits today." Director Liang had been a little worried that he was still stuck in yesterday's emotions.
Some actors get so immersed in their roles that they find it difficult to detach themselves long after filming wraps, which even affects subsequent filming. He had originally considered asking the screenwriter to temporarily adjust the filming order.
Xu Lang showed this tendency yesterday, and he was worried it would affect today's filming.
Judging from his condition, he has recovered.
"It seems you have a strong ability to regulate your emotions!"
Xu Lang said with a smile:
"Director Liang, please stop talking. Sister Mi helped me a lot last night and got me completely drunk. Who remembers the characters in the play now? Sigh, I was a bit of a mess last night."
Yang Mi, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "So, tell me whether it helped you or not?"
Last night, there was no targeted psychological counseling or patient reasoning with Xu Lang.
Over a barbecue and a few drinks, amidst laughter and conversation, the emotions of the characters in the play were completely dispelled.
This is Yang Mi's method.
Liang Shengquan laughed and said, "Alright, if you're in good shape, let's get ready to start filming. Xu Lang and Zhenyu, you two go over the lines one last time, and we'll rehearse in ten minutes."
"receive."
Xu Lang responded, exchanged a glance with Qiao Zhenyu, and each picked up their script.
The set quickly returned to its busy rhythm, with lighting, photography, and props all performing their respective duties.
Xu Lang took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and quickly got into work mode.
