"I'm fine recently. The filming and everything went smoothly. I just can't go back for the Chinese New Year. You take care of yourself at home."
On New Year¡¯s Eve, Long Fan, who was still on the set, took advantage of his break to call his home phone and communicate with his mother about recent work. During the phone call, Long Fan didn't mention anything about being scolded for his poor condition, but instead reported happy things one by one.
As the New Year approaches, the usually bustling Hengdian Cinemas has gradually become deserted. The reduction of extras and some temporary staff has also caused many crews to adjust their shooting plans and downplay the shooting tasks during the New Year period. Some small production crews even All members will go home for the holidays and celebrate the New Year.
But for the hundreds of members of the "Sword and Fairy" crew who have a tight schedule, they are destined to spend this Spring Festival only on the set.
Since the crew members come from all over the world and have different New Year customs in each place, the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner is also particularly sumptuous.
?? Dumplings and rice cakes are a must-have for northerners, and a must-have reunion dinner for southerners. Several tables are filled with chicken, duck, and fish
Since there were still some filming tasks that night, the location where the crew gathered for the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner was directly set in an open space near the studio. They set up lights and found a TV to complete the New Year ceremony.
As soon as he walked out of the rest room after making a phone call, Long Fan bumped into Chen Qiaoen who was walking by in a hurry, almost scaring the Tao Island actress who was busy tasting the food before she could swallow it.
Looking at Chen Qiaoen, whose mouth had bulged into a rather funny ball shape, Long Fan couldn't help but said with joy, "How unpalatable is ordinary food? It can make you so hungry. You can't even eat to keep your image."
"Well" Chen Qiaoen, who was still dressed as Lin Yueru, shook his head, then raised his head and tried to swallow what was in his mouth, and said, "I have never eaten a lot of things. I will definitely have a feast this time."
There are many people who have the same idea as Chen Qiaoen. This special New Year¡¯s Eve dinner is basically a patchwork of specialties from different members of the crew, and everyone is tasting each other¡¯s cooking.
"Long Fan. Do you want dumplings or meat?" Although she was born in the south, Liu Yifei, who lives in the capital, obviously has a special liking for dumplings. She is sitting at the table with Liu's mother at the moment. "My mother made it by herself, three delicacies stuffing, and beef"
"The dumplings made by my aunt must be delicious. Anything will do." Long Fan said, and then he and Chen Qiaoen went over and sat down.
Although there are no specially designated seats, the seating at the scene is still very regular. The leading actors Long Fan, Peng Yuyan, and Liu Yifei sit together, the leaders of the production team and the director team sit together, and other departments are seated in order according to their relationship. Occasionally, a few young people would sit down and enjoy the lively atmosphere brought by this feast.
¡°Then I¡¯ll give you a few of each.¡±
"As she said that, Liu Yifei found an empty bowl, and used chopsticks to pick up a few of the thin-skinned and large-filled dumplings on several plates for Long Fan, like a virtuous wife. Peng Yuyan looked envious at the side. He turned to Tang Wei and joked, "How about I pick some for you too?"
"No need." Tang Wei also heard the ridicule towards Long Fan, shook his head and smiled, "I still prefer to eat twice-cooked pork."
Liu¡¯s mother didn¡¯t have any objections to her daughter¡¯s behavior, and she was equally considerate in picking up food for the two actors from Baodao. Chen Qiaoen was deeply moved by urging them to eat more, for fear that they would be treated coldly because they were celebrating the Chinese New Year in the mainland.
Seeing Liu¡¯s mother being so enthusiastic about taking care of the actors for him, Long Fan, who was usually somewhat estranged from this somewhat strict mother, no longer felt awkward and ate the food in front of him steadily.
"Would you like two drinks? It's the Chinese New Year" Tang Wei asked after eating a few bites and feeling that something was missing. "There's nothing I can do if I stay here."
Chen Qiaoen, who was tasting dumplings, looked up at Long Fan, "You have to ask the director about this."
"Drink, you can drink if you want. There should be a red bar? I remember who made a special trip to buy it." Seeing several people asking for his opinion, Long Fan, the leader of the group, agreed, and then asked the venue manager for help. Have two bottles of red wine.
The camera assistant responsible for filming the behind-the-scenes footage also walked over from the surrounding dining tables with a DVD, recording the behind-the-scenes life of the core protagonists.
"Do you want to say a few words, director?" The camera assistant first pointed the camera at Long Fan.
Long Fan, who was holding a wine glass in his hand, looked at everyone, "I have to thank everyone for their hard work first. How many people are working during the Chinese New Year? It's not easy for everyone."
"Directing is the most difficult thing." Lu Yi, who is a senior but has always kept a low profile, deliberately said, "It's filming and revising, how about we propose a toast to the director first?"
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison.
Facing such a toast, Long Fan could only feel flatteredAccepting it, he raised his glass and said, "I also toast to everyone. I hope that we can all reach higher levels through this drama."
Then several crisp clinks of glasses sounded.
Although we can¡¯t have a warm reunion with our families, the lively team life has somewhat alleviated everyone¡¯s homesickness.
"By the way, there's a Spring Festival Gala today, right?" After a few glasses of wine, Long Fan suddenly remembered something, "What time does it start?"
"Eight o'clock, it has started now." Liu Yifei pointed to the large color TV placed on the table behind Long Fan. At this time, a song and dance performance scene appeared on the screen.
In order to be able to see the TV directly, Long Fan simply lifted his stool and sat next to Liu Yifei. He stared at the screen and said to himself, "I wonder what time Teacher Zhao's skit will be broadcast."
"Teacher Zhao? Zhao Benshan?" Liu Yifei asked curiously. She remembered that Long Fan was very close to this famous sketch actor in the Northeast. She wondered what kind of special relationship Long Fan had with him. .
Long Fan nodded, "Yes, I really want to see his skit tonight."
"Then I'm afraid you have to wait for a while. Uncle Zhao Benshan's show is always the finale, probably after twelve o'clock." Tang Wei looked at the TV and said with his chin.
Sure enough, it was almost midnight when Zhao Benshan¡¯s work, ranked twenty-fifth on the program list, appeared.
And not only Long Fan, but other staff who are also northerners are also waiting for the appearance of the king of comedy. When Zhao Benshan appeared on the stage carrying a bucket of pure water, whether it was at the show or There was a round of applause and cheers on the set.
"Is Uncle Zhao Benshan so popular?" Upon seeing this, Chen Qiaoen couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, he also looked at the TV curiously, wanting to see what kind of funny charm this rustic-dressed sketch actor had.
As the creator of the sketch, Long Fan is naturally more concerned about the reactions of the people around him when watching this work. His eyes are constantly scanning the expressions of other people around him, especially the person next to him who seems to outsiders to be unworldly. "Fairy Sister" Liu Yifei became the object of his attention.
Seeing Long Fan's strange look, Liu Yifei, who was staring at the TV, couldn't help but inquire, "What are you watching?"
"It's nothing." Long Fan shook his head and smiled strangely, then pretended to pay attention to the TV screen.
"Strange" Seeing Long Fan's mysterious look, Liu Yifei, who did not yet understand the story behind this work, frowned and continued to look at the TV.
In the scene, Zhao Benshan has already started a conversation with Gao Xiumin according to the plot arrangement written by Long Fan before, and then shakes off the baggage of the first sketch.
Gao Xiumin, who was nervously waiting for her son to return from studying abroad, heard a knock on the door and hurried forward to open the door and shouted excitedly, "Son¡ª¡ª"
Zhao Benshan, who was carrying the bucket, said jokingly, "Look, at such an old age, you should call me son"
"Hey, isn't this father coming?" Gao Xiumin, who was looking for a stepfather for his son, immediately realized something, walked to Zhao Benshan and said, "His father uh, no, son no"
"Ha" Liu Yifei covered her mouth and said happily.
Several people around him, including Chen Qiaoen, also laughed. This repeated slip of the tongue plot is not very funny, but it has a good warm-up effect, which instantly enhances the atmosphere of the sketch.
Long Fan, who was already familiar with the plot, just smiled, waiting for the follow-up baggage to appear, wanting to see how much laughter this work could cause.
During the misunderstanding conversation with Gao Xiumin, Zhao Benshan, who figured out what was going on, finally agreed to the other party pretending to be his son's stepfather to prevent this top student from affecting his studies due to family reasons.
The story also focuses on the key characters of the skit. The overseas student played by Fan Wei reaches climax after his appearance, and Zhao Benshan also vividly presents the small character form of a water conservancy engineer temporarily played by a water deliveryman.
"Where's the research dad?" "You have to move forward, you can't always stay behind!"
A few classic lines made everyone sitting around the TV laugh so much that they almost burst into laughter. Chen Qiaoen, who thought it was difficult to understand the essence of mainland sketches due to cultural differences, even shouted "It's so funny" and laughed while holding his stomach. He couldn't stand up straight.
When everyone admired the talent of the sketch screenwriter, they would never have thought of Long Fan, who was officially sitting with them when they presented this work to Zhao Benshan.
"Hey, hey, why are you so funny!" Liu Yifei, who was also overjoyed, saw that Long Fan was just smiling, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Long Fan. You can't laugh at such a funny sketch, so what's the point? What opportunities to be happy!
"Hey." Long Fan looked at Liu Yifei, "I said I've seen this skit, do you believe it?"
??"How is it possible? This should be kept confidential." Liu Yifei doubted.
Long Fan shrugged, "It depends on who it is for."
"Dese." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him, ignored Long Fan, and continued to watch the show.
In this sketch, in addition to the laughs in the early stage, the emotional elaboration laid out later is also an important part. When Fan Wei, who understood the truth, shouted "Mom" and Gao Xiumin hugged each other, thunderous cheers rang out again. applause.
Many mothers couldn¡¯t help but wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes. Such white lies belonging to mothers have also been performed on them.
"The ending is so touching." Chen Qiaoen clapped his hands, "The person who wrote this story is so amazing. Could it be that Uncle Zhao Benshan wrote it himself?"
"Of course not." Long Fan couldn't help but responded.
Although he only redeemed this script from another time, Long Fan, who is currently the creator of this script, felt a little happy in his heart. Watching "Laughing Fruit" at least met his expectations. I believe that Teacher Zhao Benshan will do this this time. You won't be disappointed either. . . )
