Chapter 134: Dinner
While the promotional photos were sent out, a behind-the-scenes footage from the filming period were also displayed. The atmosphere on the set was very harmonious. Everyone was young, and it was easy to get along. It was even more fun to get together to chat while waiting for the show.
The only bad thing is that filming summer dramas in winter is really a test of people's will.
Su Mian is a typical fear of the cold, and he has no liveliness and perseverance that a 20-year-old girl should have. Other actresses in the crew, including Tong Tong, wear little clothes, so Su Mian wraps herself into a big dumpling every day, hoping to carry a quilt out to film.
Five days later, the filming scene ended on the day, and it was still early. Su Mian wrapped in a down jacket to prepare to go back to the hotel to rest. Now at 2:00 a.m. every day, Su Mian is very used to the crew and hotel life, but it is rare to finish work early, so she naturally wants to go back and have a good rest.
"Su Mian, prepare for it. At 7 o'clock in the evening, the crew and investors have dinner together." It is common for dining in the entertainment industry. There are many actors and investors. Among them, there are many secrets in the entertainment industry.
A group of investors and the actors are invited to have dinner, and everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions.
"Director, I'm a little tired, so I won't go." Su Mian was about to refuse.
When filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", director Li Weiyan was not like this. The variety show was related to the special place in the army, so naturally there were no such messy things. "On the Road" was basically a personal investment by director Lin Jie, and there was no problem with investors.
Su Mian has always felt that he has been walking very smoothly in the entertainment industry and has not encountered any major problems for more than half a year. Unexpectedly, he finally came now.
"Su Mian just went for a meal together, just help me." After a period of shooting and understanding, Sun Pingping knew about Su Mian's personality. This is an artist who cares about feathers and works diligently.
Sun Pingping also knows these bad things in the entertainment industry, but the largest investor in "Smile Smile" asked Su Mian to attend to tonight's dinner. She is not a famous director. The cost of actors in "Smile Smile" is not low. Although most of them are young, there are also many investors and sponsors.
She is just a not-famous young director, a literary director. How could she be more like a capitalist? The other party asked for it. She wanted to refuse Su Mian, but she had no choice.
"Tong Tong will go, too?" Su Mian thought of Tong Tong.
"Everyone is almost gone." Sun Pingping nodded.
Because it is a TV series that belongs to the youth idol drama type, almost all the characters in the TV series are young and there are many supporting actresses. Today, the dinner seems to be aimed at the female lead Su Mian, and other investors are more or less trying to find someone among the supporting actors.
There are many such dramas in the entertainment industry.
"I understand!" Su Mian nodded and agreed to attend the dinner.
Xiao Jiao was very worried when he saw Su Mian agreeing, and anxiously followed Su Mian away from the crew and got into the nanny car.
"Sister Mianmian, are you really going?" Xiao Jiao is not stupid either. Everyone is adults, and this kind of unspoken rule scene in the entertainment industry is still very common.
"Um."
"No, I'm not at ease, I have to tell Sister Wei Qing." After Wei Qing sent Su Mian into the group to shoot, she flew back to S City because of work.
Next year will be the year when Su Mian's popularity explodes. Su Mian's work this year will start to produce results next year. The movie "On the Journey" has been confirmed to be released during the Spring Festival. Every year, the Spring Festival movies are emerging one after another. Many movies are waiting for this period of time. The competitiveness is very high. It is probably difficult to stand out.
Of course, Su Mian's workload will also increase during the Spring Festival period, and Wei Qing must be the first to arrange it. At that time, Su Mian, as one of the female leads, must cooperate with the promotion.
The post-production of "Traveling into the Volcano" was very fast, and it was confirmed to be released in April next year. Although Su Mian is just a guest role, "Traveling into the Volcano" has different meanings and is considered a movie of great weight. In addition, "The Great Earthquake" has also begun to be finalized for release, so Wei Qing is naturally more involved.
Fortunately, "The Great Earthquake in the Falling Mountain" and "The Travel of the Volcano" are both works by major directors, and they are both filmed based on real cases and are educational. If Su Mian performs well, her value and status will increase. This is what Wei Qing is most looking forward to. She really wants to know how far Su Mian will climb next year.
As for the movie "Sword of Fairy", because it is a fairy-tale movie, the special effects of the post-production take a lot of time and the broadcast time is not determined. But even this is the case, it is enough for Wei Qing to be busy. The evaluation, prediction, arrangement, preparation of many things, including Su Mian's promotion, etc., are all done by Wei Qing himself, and Wei Qing is also busy all the time.
The agent's job is not that easy to serve!
"She is so busy, don't ask for trouble for her." Su Mian casually advised Xiao Jiao.
Xiao Jiao shook his head repeatedly, "No, you go to the dinner party, Sister Wei Qing knew that I knew it and didn't report it, so there might be those who killed me." Xiao Jiao was more afraid of Wei Qing than Su Mian.
Wei Qing has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has the aura of a strong woman. Su Mian is an actor and her acting skills are really scary, but she has a very good temper. Xiao Jiao is with Su Mian every day, so Xiao Jiao naturally takes Su Mian's affairs in his heart, for fear that Su Mian is a little bad.
She knew that the trolls online were extremely lethal. She didn't know before that actors had to bear such great slander and attacks. Even if it was just trivial matters, they would be infinitely magnified by artists, and small matters would be abused by netizens.
Xiao Jiao looked guilty and Su Mian was funny, so naturally he did not stop Xiao Jiao from making a report in advance.
There are many people in the entertainment industry who are decent in their methods. Tonight's dinner is obviously a Hongmen banquet. It is hard to say what will happen. Su Mian thinks that Wei Qing is mentally prepared.
Xiao Jiao called Wei Qing with the phone, while Su Mian leaned against the back seat and closed her eyes to rest. After returning to the hotel, Su Mian washed up casually and did not attend the event. Even though she knew that tonight was the dinner for investors, Su Mian still casually wore jeans, black-framed sunglasses, without makeup, and a big down jacket.
Su Mian did not arrive early or late. The dinner was agreed at 7 o'clock. Su Mian came at night. When she walked into the private room, there were already many people inside. Several investors sat in the seats, and there were more or less female artists sitting around her. But those investors were still alive and thought it was natural.
Su Mian glanced around the box and found that it was all female artists in the crew. Almost all those with a little bit of scenes came. Obviously, this was the Hongmen Banquet for female artists.
