global actor

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, we're here."

After being gently pushed by Wang Zixuan, Lu Ze opened his eyes and glanced out the window with half-squinted eyes. He arrived at a small rural restaurant here, just like Lu Ze's hometown, it was a familiar environment to him.

Putting on the hood of his long down jacket, Lu Ze opened the car door. Cold wind blew in, accompanied by fine snow blowing from the roof. He stepped on the snow and entered the two-story rural building.

Instantly, a wave of heat rushed over. The crew members inside were eating hot pork stewed with sauerkraut in a copper pot. When they saw Lu Ze and Wang Zixuan coming in, they quickly stood up and said hello.

After all, these people are all in the industry, and no one doesn't know this actor who has become popular recently.

"Lu Er! Come here, sit here, sit next to me."

Lu Ze heard a very familiar voice and turned his head. Li Wei stood up and waved to him. Lu Ze knew that Li Wei was going to participate in this drama, playing the role of Mr. Shu's brother. No surprise, the two embraced warmly.

For a moment.

The two are old acquaintances and got along relatively well during the filming of "Our Group". This native from Hunan Province is generous in his work and doesn't play any tricks, so he gets along well with Lu Ze.

Sitting at this table with Wang Zixuan were Li Wei, Zhuang Yu, and the leaders of several groups. The copper pot was burning charcoal, and the sauerkraut inside was already bubbling. Lu, who had not eaten sauerkraut for a long time,

Ze is really greedy.

Li Wei held a kettle, the kind that was placed directly on the stove to boil water. The bottom of the kettle had been burned and a layer of black ash had accumulated. He shook it at Lu Ze and smiled with a squinted expression: "Would you like some?"

?”

"Then let's have some."

He poured a whole cup directly into the small plastic cup. Lu Ze touched it with his hand and it was still warm. He took a sip. The spiciness increased and flowed into his stomach. He felt very comfortable and warmed his whole body.

"Ha~ This wine is quite delicious. It must be... sixty degrees? It's quite strong."

"Really? I told Director Zhuang that this kid Lu Ze likes to take a few sips when he has nothing to do. Director Zhuang went to the winemaker's house in the next village just for you to buy bulk wine, pure grain wine, which is nearly 70 degrees."

Li Wei is also a good drinker. After taking a sip of liquor, he made a joke about Lu Ze with Zhuang Yu. The atmosphere was lively. Zhuang Yu also looked at Lu Ze and asked with a smile.

"Does it taste good? If it tastes good, I'm going to the master to get some. Since so many men drink, I guess fifty pounds can't be drunk for a few days."

Zhuang Yu doesn't smoke or drink, but he doesn't stop actors and staff from drinking. For him, as long as he can keep up with the progress and everyone can stay in shape by drinking some wine, then they can just drink without delaying business.

Just fine.

Lu Ze took the small stainless steel bowl and handed it to Wang Zixuan. He opened it with chopsticks and put a piece of pork into his mouth. In the winter, he had to drink white wine and eat pork with white fat and skin to make it exciting.

She reached out and gave Wang Zixuan a piece of pork. At first, she thought it was too fat and didn't want to eat it. But when she took a bite, it wasn't greasy at all. It melted in her mouth like jelly. The texture was so good that she couldn't control it anymore.

, kept his head silent, only picked up chopsticks from time to time, and ate happily.

Lu Ze took a piece of sauerkraut with chopsticks, took a sip of white wine with Li Wei, and then changed the topic back to the topic: "Director Zhuang, when will the filming start?"

"Nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Lu Ze didn't say anything. He ate his food. He scratched his hair with his right hand with long nails. He raised his wine glass and touched it with Li Wei. He took a big sip, grinned and exhaled.

...

It was already six o'clock in the evening after dinner. It gets dark quickly in winter, and there are no street lights in the countryside. There were a few dogs barking and motorcycles chugging outside.

The crew is very small, with more than fifty people in total, living in this farmhouse and a small hotel nearby.

Lu Ze stayed in a hotel. He put on the military coat and dog-skin hat that accompanied the crew, carried his suitcase, and entered the hotel with a cigarette butt in his mouth. He slipped when he was going up the steps.

I handed over my ID card and got a single room, which was very old in style but very clean. I put the cigarette butt in the ashtray and put it out. I blew out the last puff of smoke and started to pack my suitcase.

The WIFI in this hotel is not fast and very stuck. My phone calls with Lu Nan were intermittent, so I simply used my own data. After chatting, I charged my phone and turned on the bedside lamp.

He drank three glasses of white wine and two bottles of beer. He was not too drunk, but he was getting sleepy. He never used a hotel thermos, so he picked up the mineral water he just bought in the small supermarket and drank half of the bottle.

Put on your pajamas, wash your face and brush your teeth, go back to bed, turn over under the quilt, and go to sleep.

...

At half past six, the class ended. He opened the curtains, and could still hear sporadic rooster crows in the distance. His genius was slightly bright. After getting a large number, he looked at himself in the mirror. He was unkempt and his expression was a little dull.

"Good morning, Shu'er."

He didn't wash his face and only brushed his teeth. He might have been like this for a long time. Lu Ze put his phone away and left the room.

"You woke up very early. Do you still get up so early every day now?"

When Lu Ze opened the door and came out, Li Wei also opened the door and threw a cigarette to Lu Ze. When Lu Ze was filming "The Leader", he got up at six or seven o'clock every day to wake everyone up. Li Wei thought Lu Ze

After Ze becomes famous, he won't get up so early.

"I'm used to it. Don't you get up quite early?"

"I'm in bed, I can't sleep well. Anyway, I don't have many roles. I guess the filming will be completed in a day or two."

After chatting for a while, Zhuang Yu and all the staff went out and got in the car. The temperature dropped significantly last night. The Cruiser that Zhuang Yu drove was okay, but there were two other cars and the engine oil was frozen.

, it is no longer possible to start a fire.

Everyone worked together to pull and pull, and finally all the cars were able to run away. The six cars headed towards the shooting location. After arriving at the scene at eight o'clock, they started to purchase equipment.

As a director for the first time, Zhuang Yu did not panic. It seemed that he had done enough homework and everything was going on in an orderly manner. Until Wang Zixuan and Li Wei's assistants came over with breakfast, everyone stopped and took a casual bite.

"Actors in the first scene, Lu Ze, go change your clothes."

Lu Ze stood up, followed by a specially commissioned actor who had no name in the play and played the role of the van driver. He was a duo actor in life. Lu Ze had seen him on TV several times before, but in the past two years, he should

There is no work to be found.

The two of them were not very familiar and did not speak much. Lu Ze got his own clothes, a brown jacket, a green cotton-lined jacket, a pair of fat and big trousers, and a pair of old leather shoes.

These are all washed and distressed, and they look just like the ones you use every day. You can't tell the difference.

After changing into clothes, Lu Ze didn't look so tall because of the baggy clothes and trousers. Lu Ze splashed some water on his face and walked outside, feeling a stinging sensation as soon as the cold wind blew.

After standing for a full ten minutes, neither the costume artist nor the makeup artist dared to stop Lu Ze. When Lu Ze came back and wiped his face with a towel, a red mark had been frozen around his cheekbones, and there were many small ones even if he looked up close.

The red bloodshot eyes made her look uglier again.

"Now put on your makeup."

"Oh...okay."

The makeup artist actually admired Lu Zezhong's professionalism and details. He didn't know what to say, so he could only silently paint Lu Ze's beard to be heavier.

He grabbed some hair wax and rubbed it hard, then put it on Lu Ze's head and rubbed it. He didn't use a comb, just used his fingers to pull out the hairstyle again. It looked very oily, as if he hadn't washed it in a few days.

Same thing.

Lu Ze took out an orange from his pocket, peeled it open, stuffed the pulp into his mouth and ate it. He picked up the orange peel and rubbed it repeatedly on his nails, all ten fingers, which made the nails look yellow.

It's very dirty, so the decoration is complete.

As soon as he got up, firecrackers were set off outside. It didn't last long. After more than ten seconds of crackling, Lu Ze heard Zhuang Yu shout.

"Start shooting!"
