Chapter 1532 1634. Actor Duoduo
Hengcheng, the world's largest film and television shooting base, covers almost all the historical features of Chinese civilization from the Qin Palace to the Ming and Qing Palaces, from the Spring and Autumn Tang Garden to the modern Hong Kong Island Street.
And this place has naturally become the first choice for countless domestic crews to start filming.
The crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian" is also filming the Northern Qi drama here. This time Zhou Duoduo's role is Haitang Duoduo, the saint of Northern Qi in the play. She is not the heroine, but one of the leading actors. She is the confidant and a great helper of the protagonist in the play. She is also a very popular character in the original novel.
In order to play this role well, Zhou Duoduo even asked Nie Wei to introduce a martial arts instructor to Zhou Duoduo, who taught Zhou Duoduo martial arts skills for three months.
Zhou Duoduo, who was well prepared, had a fight scene in the first scene after entering the crew. The director was worried that Zhou Duoduo would not adapt to it. After all, according to his understanding, this was Zhou Duoduo's first official fight scene as an actor, but he didn't expect Zhou Duoduo to be two words when she took action, professional!
With her free and unrestrained movements and sharp eyes, the director looked at the monitor and thought that Haitang Duoduo in the book had walked into reality.
When a shot passed, everyone on the scene couldn't help but cheer for Zhou Duoduo and applauded.
For the rest of the day, the other actors couldn't help but feel jealous, because they had never seen a director praise an actor so much, and not only the director praised, but also the actors who played opposite her, which made Zhou Duoduo feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, this is also related to everyone's low expectations.
Before joining the group, everyone regarded Zhou Duoduo as an idol who had acted in a few scenes but had little experience. Now in the circle, everyone looks down on such idol-turned-actors. After all, the overall quality of this group is indeed not high. Many directors look for idols to act not for their acting skills, but for their popularity.
But when Zhou Duoduo's performance exceeded expectations and reached a height that non-professional actors could hardly reach, everyone was naturally surprised.
Many people were talking about Zhou Duoduo's acting skills after the show, and even the director praised Zhou Duoduo behind her back as a good actor.
Unknowingly, Zhou Duoduo has been in Hengdian for more than a month.
Her scenes here are about to end, and Zhou Duoduo will go to Jiulong Waterfall and Stone Forest in Yunnan and Guizhou to complete her next scenes.
Zhou Duoduo has seen the filming schedule and she will probably stay with the crew for another month.
This adds up to more than two months, and it is also the first time that Zhou Duoduo has stayed in a crew for such a long time.
Zhou Duoduo has only two experiences about this: very tired, very bitter, but also very fulfilling.
This is the first time she has played such an important role as an actor. She really feels that she is growing every day in the crew. Now she is like a sponge, constantly absorbing nutrients.
Zhou Duoduo also knows that the reason why she can make rapid progress is all due to her solid foundation.
Now she understands why Nie Wei had to send her to the Film Academy to study. Without the study experience in the Film Academy, Zhou Duoduo knew that even if she came to the crew and got a good role, it would be almost impossible to imagine that she would make progress every day like now.
It's like you, a person who has never learned mathematical formulas, suddenly go to listen to advanced mathematics. Even if you know the numbers one, two, and three, when the teacher combines them into a high-level math problem, can you figure it out?
Some things really require a certain experience and foundation to understand. This is like building a house. If the foundation is not solid, the house will not be built high. Only when the foundation is deep and solid enough can a towering building be built.
Zhou Duoduo had a hard time shooting the play "Celebrating Yu Nian" because a large part of it is action scenes. Zhou Duoduo practiced for three months. Naturally, she hoped to do the fighting scenes by herself as much as possible, so she did many fighting scenes by herself.
When it was time to finish the play, Zhou Duoduo was sweating again.
Fortunately, there was a bathroom in her RV. After taking a shower and changing into dry clothes, the assistant had already prepared the food when she came out.
"Sister Duoduo, come and eat." The assistant's name is Yu Xiaoxin, who is responsible for taking care of Zhou Duoduo's daily life. In addition, she can also work as a stylist and makeup artist.
"What's delicious today?" Zhou Duoduo asked while wiping her hair.
"Fish-flavored pork shreds, fried chicken legs, stir-fried mixed vegetables and this home-cooked cold dish." Yu Xiaoxin introduced, and at the same time took out an insulated lunch box from her backpack and handed it to Zhou Duoduo who sat over, saying: "This is mixed grain rice."
Zhou Duoduo took the mixed grain rice and pushed the fried chicken legs and fish-flavored pork shreds on the table to Yu Xiaoxin's side.
Whether you are an idol or an actor, image management must be done well.
When Zhou Duoduo was an idol, she didn't dare to gain weight. After all, there were ten of her peers around her for comparison. If anyone gained weight secretly, they would be discovered on the next stage. Unless eleven people gained weight at the same time, the fans might blame the camera for the problem.
It's the same for actors. When you join the crew, you weigh 90 kilograms, but you gain 100 kilograms during the filming. Then you will really look a lot fatter in the camera. When the audience watches the TV series, they will be distracted and may even make a joke, saying that this crew is not a filming crew, but a pig-raising crew.
So Zhou Duoduo didn't want to gain weight, and she didn't dare to gain weight.
But day and night are reversed, and eating irregularly is the easiest way to gain weight. There is no other way, Zhou Duoduo can only find a way from diet, try to eat less greasy and sugary foods.
Like fish-flavored pork shreds and fried chicken legs, Zhou Duoduo actually swallowed her saliva when she saw them, but she finally relied on her strong will to push these two dishes away, because these are foods she absolutely cannot touch.
While eating, Zhou Duoduo took out her mobile phone and opened several videos stored in it.
"Gugu, Gugu..."
Yu Xiaoxin heard the little baby voice coming from Zhou Duoduo's mobile phone and immediately came to Zhou Duoduo's side.
"Mr. Nie sent you another video of Shu'er and Xiao Yingyang. The two little guys are really getting more and more beautiful." Looking at the two little babies in Zhou Duoduo's mobile phone video, Yu Xiaoxin said dotingly.
If you say that people with good genes, the babies they have are also beautiful.
Look at the children of Nie Wei and Shu Chang. Their faces are white and tender, their lips are pink, and their big eyes are twinkling. Their pupils are like the top black gemstones.
Ever since Yu Xiaoxin accidentally saw them once, she has liked these two dolls. Whenever Zhou Duoduo watches a video, she must come over to take a look.
The only thing that makes Yu Xiaoxin feel sorry is that she can only watch these videos through Zhou Duoduo's mobile phone. This is her "privilege" as Zhou Duoduo's life assistant.
Even HELLO GIRLS's agent does not have this "privilege".
Yu Xiaoxin doesn't know that if this video is brought to the gossip media, they dare to give her five million on the spot.
Although a full year has passed, the public's curiosity about what Nie Wei and Shu Chang's children look like has not subsided. Take the videos of synthesizing baby photos with parents' photos that appear on the Internet from time to time, and every time they can cause heated discussions, it can be seen how curious the public is about what the two babies look like.
They knew very well that as long as the photos were released, it would definitely be an explosive news.
"My little nephew and niece are so smart. When I went back last time, they were only seven or eight months old, but they could already call dad, mom, grandpa and grandma. I stayed in Taoyuan for three days, and they learned to call me aunt. Look, their pitch is so good, so smart." Zhou Duoduo boasted.
"That's really smart. The child of my cousin's family just learned to call dad and mom when he was one and a half years old. But Shu'er and Xiao Yingyang look very smart, and they will definitely be great in their studies in the future."
At this point, Yu Xiaoxin asked curiously: "Duoduo, do you think your brother and your sister-in-law will also let these two babies enter the entertainment industry?"
"Who knows, but I think it's unlikely. Being an actor is so tiring." Zhou Duoduo replied.
She was thinking about how Nie Wei was unwilling to join the entertainment industry when she wanted to. However, she didn't understand at that time. She only saw how glamorous Nie Wei was as a star, but she didn't understand the hard work behind it. It wasn't until Zhou Duoduo really entered the industry that she understood why her brother had stopped her.
For example, when she was a trainee, Zhou Duoduo entered the company late, so her progress was slower than all the trainees. At this time, if she wanted to catch up, she had to work hard in addition to her talent.
During that time, she, Mo Han and Huang Ting practiced dancing for more than twelve hours every day. The sweat-soaked training clothes could squeeze out half a basin of water. Because of the high-intensity training of the three, Zhou Duoduo's knee and shoulder joints have problems so far, and she has to go to the hospital for physical therapy from time to time.
Only when she practiced so hard, she was able to make a big splash in "PRODUCE-101" later.
But pain is pain, and it will not be sweet just because of the glory achieved in the future. So if Zhou Duoduo has a baby in the future, she does not want her baby to enter the entertainment industry, especially to be an idol.
"That's a pity. Xiaoshu and Xiaoying are so beautiful. If they debut, they will definitely be popular." Yu Xiaoxin said with regret.
As a life assistant, she also has the dream of being an agent.
After all, who doesn't want to be glorious, meet with customers every day for dinner, and talk about big business worth millions or even tens of millions, unlike her current assistant. Although she is closer to the artists, she does all kinds of work. To put it in a more high-sounding way, she is a life assistant, and to put it in a more vulgar way, she is an artist's nanny.
So Yu Xiaoxin is also ambitious. Recently, she has been cultivating her vision. After all, many people in the circle have said that a good agent must be able to find the shining points in others.
In Yu Xiaoxin's view, Nie Wei's children are simply shining all over, and they are natural artists.
Zhou Duoduo just smiled at Yu Xiaoxin's pity. It is estimated that her nephew and niece will not be able to become artists in the future, especially her little nephew, who carries too many people's expectations.
Because from the moment he was born, he has been recognized by countless people as the heir to the business empire of Fanxing Group.
Everyone expects him to be as promising as his father in the future and lead everyone to continue to make money. How can they allow him to go to "not do his job" and become an artist?
Of course, the specific training must be decided by Nie Wei and Shu Chang as parents.
However, Zhou Duoduo thinks that it depends on her sister-in-law for education. She can't stand her brother's kindness to the child. That is not pampering, but spoiling.
Just then, Zhou Duoduo's phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID was Nie Wei, whom she had just complained about in her heart.
"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Duoduo asked, her voice a little guilty, after all, she had just complained about someone in her heart, and this person called her. Is it such a coincidence?
"Your sister-in-law and I are going to have a wedding, and I want you to be a bridesmaid. Are you interested?" Nie Wei asked on the phone.
"Yes!" Zhou Duoduo agreed without thinking when she heard that she was going to be a bridesmaid. After agreeing, she reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Brother, you are finally going to have a wedding with your sister-in-law!"
"Yes, yes." Nie Wei gave a positive answer, and then said: "I still need to ask others, so I won't talk to you for now."
"Eh!? Eh...! You actually hung up on me!" Zhou Duoduo looked at the phone that had been hung up, muttering angrily.
Yu Xiaoxin on the side widened her eyes, feeling that she had heard a huge secret.
Nie Wei and Shu Chang are going to have a wedding. For the entertainment industry, this is definitely news of the atomic bomb explosion level!
Zhou Duoduo finally realized that there was another person in the car. Looking at Yu Xiaoxin's shocked expression, Zhou Duoduo immediately warned: "Don't tell this to anyone, understand?"
Yu Xiaoxin immediately raised her hand and swore that she would not tell a third person.
Yu Xiaoxin was really sincere when she promised, and her eyes were particularly sincere. It's just that some people are born to be unable to control their mouths. When she was chatting with her bestie at night, Yu Xiaoxin unconsciously "showed off" this news to her bestie.
Of course, she regretted it after she finished speaking, and hurriedly told her bestie not to reveal this news.
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped." The bestie promised, and then posted the news to the circle of friends, and of course she didn't forget to add a sentence of confidentiality at the end.
This circle of friends took less than an hour to reach a YXH, and then...
"Am I wrong in my memory? Nie Wei and Shu Chang didn't have a wedding?"
"Is this true? Is the source of the news reliable?"
"I really didn't expect that Nie Wei and Shu Chang didn't have a wedding, but their wedding would definitely be particularly exaggerated, right?"
As expected, the topic of Nie Wei and Shu Chang preparing for their wedding quickly topped the hot search list.
