Huayu: Just started as a stagehand, but the director's comeback system

After playing cards for a while, Jiang Huai and his friends got bored and, at Huang Bo's suggestion, went to see the actor Jiang Huai had found...

"Director Jiang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Inside the room, Jia Nailiang had just been scolded by her mother for forgetting to buy soy sauce and then being unable to find her. She had just finished explaining to her mother when she heard a knock on the door.

"It's alright, this is Ning Hao, the assistant director of the crew. Let me introduce you."

Huang Bo had already met Jia Nailiang, so Jiang Huai pushed Ning Hao to the front to greet Jia Nailiang.

"Hello Director Ning, I am Jia Nailiang, currently a senior at Beijing Film Academy. I have acted in BJ Holiday and The Legend of Tang Dynasty."

Unlike Jiang Huai's pretty boy looks, Ning Hao's appearance had a touch of evil, and Jia Nailiang's palms were sweating, afraid that the other party would say that he was not suitable.

"Yes, no wonder Director Jiang has his eye on her."

Ning Hao sized up Jia Nailiang. Just as Director Jiang had said, the other person did have a unique temperament. Ning Hao couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt that the other person's future was full of stories.

"Thank you for your recognition, Director Ning. I will work harder in the future."

"Yes, thank you Director Jiang, that's enough."

Ning Hao didn't accept Jia Nailiang's feelings. Instead, he stepped aside and let Jiang Huai stand in front of him. In private, it didn't matter how everyone acted, but in the crew, Jiang Huai was the absolute boss.

Upon hearing Ning Hao's words, Jia Nailiang immediately bowed to Jiang Huai again, but Jiang Huai helped him up.

"Get some rest. I'll give you the script tomorrow morning."

……

The daytime fireworks display resumed filming early the next morning.

Unlike the time in Fushun when there was only one scene, this time the filming was divided into A and B groups by Jianghuai.

Jiang Huai was responsible for the storyline of the main character Liao Fan, while Ning Hao was responsible for the individual scenes of the other supporting characters, as well as some of the female lead's storyline.

Despite this, Jiang Huai still showed his ranch owner tendencies, mainly because the movie "Black Coal, Thin Ice" wouldn't be finished until next year's three major awards, and the earliest release date wouldn't be until March of next year.

With no films released for a year, the impact of "Crazy Stone" will be greatly diminished for Jiang Huai, a new director.

Therefore, Jiang Huai plans to speed up the filming of "Black Coal, Thin Ice" and, once Mission 2 is completed, quickly film another movie. If it can be released during next year's Spring Festival, Jiang Huai can fully capitalize on the impact of "Crazy Stone".

Fortunately, as long as Jiang Huai hasn't made any bad movies, even if he only has one, Crazy Stone, he's still a famous director.

Although the actors below had some grievances, they were all thinking about becoming famous through the movie and wouldn't say anything. The staff were even simpler; they were just paid overtime as usual.

Even with this method of filming, the filming progress was still delayed for a long time because it took almost every day to make snow.

By the end of May, the film had been shot for two months, but the remaining scenes still needed to be filmed for another half month.

Most importantly, the scenes in Fushun needed to be reshot, which took several more days of back-and-forth.

"Director Jiang, there's no use rushing now, let's take it slow."

Ning Hao noticed that Jiang Huai had developed several pimples on his face due to speeding up the filming schedule, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

The temperature in Harbin in June has already reached over 20 degrees Celsius, but the actors still have to wear winter clothes. Even if they wanted to film more, their bodies couldn't handle it if the filming went on for too long.

"Hey, everyone, let's rest today. We'll give everyone a day off tomorrow too. Go and get some heatstroke medicine to drink."

Amid cheers, Jiang Huai canceled today's filming and then went out to a restaurant with Ning Hao for a meal.

He also understood that there was no use in being anxious now, but if he didn't make the next movie as soon as possible, he would lose a lot of money, which would be worse than killing Jiang Huai.

Now the crew only has the main storyline left, and there's no way to split into A and B groups for filming anymore. So he and Ning Hao are taking turns staying on set.

This way, the two of them could take turns resting, but Liao Fan didn't have a substitute; the other party couldn't split himself into two.

"Let's not think about that anymore, cheers."

"Cheers."

After drinking the chilled beer, Jiang Huai's agitated mood was relieved a little. Seeing this, Ning Hao stopped mentioning the film crew and, in order to cheer Jiang Huai up, the two began to analyze which female celebrity in the industry was more beautiful.

"Director Jiang, how's Little Swallow?"

"Too materialistic, lacking tenderness."

"Zhou Xun, aren't her eyes gentle enough?"

"Hmm... It has tenderness, but not enough grandeur."

Ning Hao, who was a little drunk, didn't react at first to Jiang Huai's answer, and then the two of them burst into laughter.

"If that doesn't work, then Hong Kong's Cheung Pak-chi and Taiwan's Lin Chih-ling should be enough, right?"

"They've seen too little, so let's not talk about it."

"Then Hao really doesn't know."

"If you ask me, the most beautiful one was Xiao Yanzi's maid back then, but unfortunately she has changed her appearance now."

After a few more drinks, the pent-up stress of the past few days dissipated. In his hazy state, Jiang Huai forgot how the two of them got back, only remembering that he seemed to have heard Ning Hao let out a strange cry.

When Jiang Huai sobered up, it was already the next day. He got up and found that he was back at the hotel. It was highly likely that Xing Aina had brought the two of them back.

Looking at Song Jia, who was still sleeping beside him, Jiang Huai, who was a little dazed, had completely forgotten about yesterday's events. He shook Song Jia awake and asked him a couple of questions, but Song Jia didn't know what Jiang Huai had said yesterday. He only said that Song Jia had mentioned a lot of female celebrities in his sleep.

Jiang Huai couldn't quite remember why Ning Hao was talking in his sleep, but he had a feeling that something was wrong with Ning Hao. To resolve his doubts, Jiang Huai decided to go to Ning Hao's room to check.

Xing Aina opened the door for him. Jiang Huai thanked her and wanted to go in to see Ning Hao, but Xing Aina made him wait at the door for a moment.

Jiang Huai assumed that the other party hadn't finished packing yet, so he waited in front of the door for a while. A moment later, Ning Hao walked out like a zombie.

"Um, Haozi, where did you bump into?"

"It wasn't even yesterday..."

Seeing Jiang Huai's concerned gaze, Ning Hao originally wanted to tell the truth, but after being glared at by his wife, he forced himself to say that he had knelt down.

"Oh, then you should get some rest. I won't bother you anymore."

Even though his head was still a little fuzzy, Jiang Huai could still sense that something was off. It was probably a domestic matter between the two of them, and Jiang Huai thought it best not to get involved.

After a brief farewell, Jiang Huai closed the door for the two of them. Upon hearing a clear call from behind, he quickened his pace and left.

Seeing Jiang Huai's lack of loyalty, Ning Hao, who was inside the room, had no other choice but to rub his reddened knees and kneel down again.

Last night, Ning Hao wasn't as drunk as Jiang Huai. After reciting a few female celebrities' names, Xing Aina kicked him off the bed, as he wasn't fully sober at the time.

However, after he rambled on about how Cao Cao and Liu Bei discussed heroes over green plums and wine, and how Ning Hao discussed beauties over Jianghuai Ice City beer, Xing Ai forced him to sober up.
