In the following days, Xiao Yunhai led the crew to prepare for the start of filming. With Xiao Yunhai there to keep things under control.
Shu Junming became well-behaved and did not dare to cause any more trouble.
Half a month later, the actors of Celestial Bane arrived at Hengdian Film City one after another.
Xiao Yunhai requested that all the actors report to the crew before June 1st and use half a month to practice the script and learn the moves from the martial arts masters.
Especially the Qingyun Sect's swordsmanship, everyone had to know it and it had to be uniform. It was very difficult.
A week ago, Luo Tianxiong brought Luo Jiaban to the crew and began to design the moves with Xiao Yunhai.
Since it was a Xianxia film, Xiao Yunhai requested for the Qingyun Sect's swordsmanship to be natural and elegant. It would be best if it had a hint of celestial aura. As for the other sects' Kung Fu, it was either simple or vigorous.
Xiao Yunhai and Luo Jiaban spent a lot of effort and finally came up with a move they were satisfied with.
On May 31st, the crew sent several cars to the airport to pick up all the actors.
When they arrived at the crew's hotel, Shu Junming quickly greeted them with a smile, "Hello, teachers. I'm the assistant director of our crew, Shu Junming. Director Xiao asked me to arrange rooms for everyone. He'll be back in the afternoon to treat everyone to a meal. "
Xiao Yunhai had already told Zhao Wanqing about Shu Junming.
Hence, Zhao Wanqing did not have a good impression of him. She nodded and said politely, "Then I'll have to trouble Director Shu."
Shu Junming quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Huang Bo giggled, "Third Sister-in-law, Third Brother doesn't seem to care about us. Not only did he not pick us up at the airport, but he was also nowhere to be seen at the hotel. To be honest, we don't care, but you're his leader. We haven't seen each other for a few days and he's gotten too bold. This isn't a good sign. "
Zhao Wanqing smiled, "Neck, don't try to sow discord here. Yesterday, he told me to greet everyone on his behalf. "
Huang Bo slapped his forehead and said, "What a pity. I originally wanted to make Third Brother kneel on the washboard, but now I can't kneel anymore."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
After laughing for a while, everyone followed Shu Junming into the hotel. Zhao Wanqing directly checked into Xiao Yunhai's room.
At 6 pm, Xiao Yunhai, Luo Tianxiong, and the others returned to the hotel.
"Honey, I missed you so much." Xiao Yunhai opened the door and saw Zhao Wanqing. He shouted as he stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
Zhao Wanqing pushed him away and said angrily, "Cut the crap. Who knows if you're telling the truth? "
Xiao Yunhai didn't say anything and kissed Zhao Wanqing's rosy lips. After a while, he let go and laughed, "Honey, do you believe me now?"
Zhao Wanqing's face was red. She clenched her fist and punched him. She said coquettishly, "You're a bad guy. I almost couldn't breathe."
Xiao Yunhai said, "I just wanted to prove to you how much I missed you. There's still half an hour before the agreed time to eat. Why don't we … "
As he spoke, Xiao Yunhai touched Zhao Wanqing's chest.
Zhao Wanqing quickly dodged to the side and said, "Xiao Yunhai, you big hooligan. Behave yourself. Don't you think it's embarrassing to think about it in broad daylight? "
Xiao Yunhai snorted and said nonchalantly, "Other people don't think it's embarrassing to have an affair. We're husband and wife. It's only right and proper for us to do it. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not as big-hearted as you. Alright, let's get down to business. Most of the cast is here. Only the two main actors, Chen Xiangyang and Meng Xuewei, are missing. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Xiangyang already asked for leave from me. Director Wang Youcai's movie will be finished tomorrow. He'll be here the day after tomorrow. What's wrong with Meng Xuewei? Why isn't she here? "
Almost all the cast of Celestial Bane lived in Yanjing. Hence, Xiao Yunhai sent his private jet to fetch them to Hengdian.
Some of the other actors who weren't in Yanjing arrived the day before, while others rushed over today. They all seemed to attach great importance to it.
Zhao Wanqing said, "I heard from Bing Lu that she's filming an urban romantic comedy in Shanghai. It's not finished yet."
Xiao Yunhai was taken aback and said, "There's such a thing."
Zhao Wanqing said, "There's news about it on the Internet too. Hubby, it's best if you get someone to give her a call to ask, just in case something unexpected happens. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and took out his phone, saying, "Let me give her a call directly."
He dialed Meng Xuewei's phone number. It rang less than three times before the other party picked up.
"Hello, I'm Miss Meng Xuewei's manager, Zhuang Yuan. May I know who you are? "A sharp voice came from the other side.
Xiao Yunhai didn't say who he was, saying, "Mr. Zhuang, can you let Miss Meng answer the phone? I have something to ask her. "
Zhuang Yuan was amused when he heard that. He mocked, "Did I hear wrongly? Is Miss Meng someone you can meet whenever you want? Let me tell you, she's filming right now. She won't be able to call you directly. "
With that, Zhuang Yuan hung up the phone.
Xiao Yunhai couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard the beeping sound from the phone.
Zhao Wanqing covered her mouth and laughed out loud in an unladylike manner.
"Hubby, who told you to be so arrogant all the time? You actually got hung up on by a manager. Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect this day to come for me. That's not right. Meng Xuewei should have my phone number, right? That Zhuang Yuan didn't look at the caller ID before answering. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "That's very likely. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to talk to you like that even if he had a hundred guts. Hahaha. "
At that moment, Xiao Yunhai's phone rang. It was Meng Xuewei's number.
Xiao Yunhai shook the phone and said, "See? That guy must have known it was me, so he quickly called back. "
Indeed, just as Xiao Yunhai pressed the answer button, Zhuang Yuan's voice came through.
"Mr. Xiao, I deserve to die. I didn't know it was your call. I'm so sorry. Please don't take it to heart. I'm just slapping myself. "
"Slap, slap, slap." The sound of slapping could be heard from the other side of the phone.
Xiao Yunhai said angrily, "That's enough. Let me ask you. You just said that Miss Meng Xuewei is filming right now, right? "
Zhuang Yuan paused for a moment and stammered, "Did I say that? I don't think so. Mr. Xiao, please wait for a moment. I'll get Xuewei to answer the phone. "
Xiao Yunhai furrowed his brows and said, "I want to ask you right now, is she filming a movie? If she is, I want to know when she'll be done. When can she come to Hengdian? "
Zhuang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Xiao, Xuewei is indeed filming. Before auditioning for your Celestial Bane, she already took on a fashion show and signed the contract. It's not good for us to break the contract. But don't worry, this show will be done very soon. Xuewei will definitely not delay your filming. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "We agreed to meet at Hengdian on the first of June. Everyone, from the best actors and actresses to the supporting actors who don't have lines, is there. Only Miss Meng is nowhere to be seen. You didn't even give me a call. Don't you think you're disrespecting me as a director by doing this? "
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Zhuang Yuan quickly explained, "Mr. Xiao, we really didn't mean that. With your status in the entertainment industry, how could we not respect you? Mr. Xiao, please wait for a moment. Xuewei's scene is done. I'll get her to answer the phone. Xuewei, come quickly. It's Mr. Xiao's call. "
After a while, Meng Xuewei's voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry. I've been so busy with filming that I forgot the date."
Xiao Yunhai did not believe her nonsense and said, "Miss Meng, I just want you to tell me the truth. When can you come to Hengdian? "
Meng Xuewei thought about it and said, "I'll definitely be there before the start of filming. Mr. Xiao, I've already accepted this role before Celestial Bane. I really can't reject it. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then why didn't you say so earlier? It's not that Hanhai Film Investment Company doesn't have any actors for your role. It's just that they accepted other roles that I didn't use them. What I hate the most is actors competing with each other. I think that's disrespectful to the two crews. "
Meng Xuewei said anxiously, "Mr. Xiao, I really didn't do it on purpose."
If it were any other director, with Meng Xuewei's queen-like personality, she would have given them a good scolding.
Filming had just started, but they wanted her to go for training half a month in advance. What a joke.
However, facing Xiao Yunhai, Meng Xuewei did not have the guts.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Miss Meng, all the cast members have arrived. I hope that you'll be able to attend.
Come to the set as soon as possible. Before the 10th of June, if you're not here, I'll have to replace you. "
Meng Xuewei bit her lip and said, "Okay, Mr. Xiao. I'll definitely be there before the 10th."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Xuewei frowned and scolded softly, "Xiao Yunhai, you're too overbearing."
Zhuang Yuan said, "Xuewei, what should we do? According to the current progress, this urban drama has at least one more month.
It'll take half a month to wrap up. "
Meng Xuewei thought about it and said, "Xiao Yunhai's Celestial Bane is aimed at the whole world. We can't give up on that role.
As for this drama, we'll try to shoot it as soon as possible. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to the Celestial Bane crew first and find some time to come back and shoot. "
Zhuang Yuan said helplessly, "That's the only way. I'll talk to the director. Try to shoot your scenes this week. "
Meng Xuewei nodded.
