Chapter 1212 Integration

Cen Mei is enthusiastically observing everything about the crew—

Jiang Tang’s opera talk, Zhao Zhao’s performance, cooperation among members, and operation between departments…

There were rumors about Cen Mei before, saying that once she went to the crew to help her old friend save the scene and played a guest role. She didn't even need to read the script in advance. She recited the performance on the spot and then passed it, and it was so amazing.

But Cen Mei said that these rumors were too outrageous and she didn't even know them.

There is no actor who can get rewards without hard work. Every time she performs so happily on the screen, she is exchanged for sweat.

Even if she is so famous that no one dares to show her face, she will still stick to her principles of dealing with things and it is the most basic thing to go to the crew to adapt to the atmosphere in advance.

As of now, she is very satisfied with everything about the crew of "Crimson World".

That night, Jiang Tang invited everyone to greet the protagonist Cen Mei.

Cen Mei rarely attends such occasions, but the harmonious and peaceful atmosphere of the crew infected her and she rarely agreed to attend. Even her agent was shocked when she heard this. She thought it was Jiang Tang's face and respected Director Jiang a little more.

Jiang Tang directly booked the entire store so that everyone could eat and drink.

Perhaps Cen Mei was too approachable and overly excited. The crew was having fun. Several people were brave enough to toast Cen Mei that night.

Although Cen Mei used tea instead of wine, she also gave her face. Not only did she learn about the other party's position in words, she also said a few words of encouragement.

After the reception banquet, Cen Mei watched the crew for another two days.

Just like everyone else, she went to the crew to check in at 8 o'clock in the morning, sat by Jiang Tang's director's chair and watched all day. She also used scripts to ponder from time to time in her spare time, and occasionally discussed with Jiang Tang.

Her arrival was like a drop of water melting into the sea. After initially ripples, the sea surface quickly returned to calm, and everyone was doing what they should do in their own position.

The third day after Cen Mei arrived at the crew, it was finally time for her to officially join the crew. The first scene she filmed on that day was the opposite scene with Zhao Zhao.

In the past two days, Cen Mei has seized the opportunity to get familiar with Zhao Zhao. Perhaps because of her gentle and tolerant temperament, Zhao Zhao quickly developed a good impression of her. In the next filming of mother-daughter scenes, there is no need for guidance, and the feelings will naturally be revealed.

Not to mention Cen Mei in other aspects, when the actor reaches her level, he no longer needs Jiang Tang as a director to intervene and guide her. She has her own philosophy.

There are occasionally words with emotional colors in Jiang Tang's script, but in Cen Mei's script, all similar words are crossed out.

Jiang Tang accidentally caught a glimpse and asked her a question. Cen Mei smiled and said that this was to not want to be preconceived by the words in the script and affect her subsequent performance. She would naturally establish qualified behavioral logic based on the character's family background, growth experience, inner personality, etc.

Cen Mei did this after acting. She would occasionally change her unreasonable lines and discuss the shooting method of this scene with Jiang Tang, including the plot that she felt was not strong enough. She would point it out and tell Jiang Tang.

Cen Mei's speech is still gentle, but her persistence and stubbornness are far superior to every actor Jiang Tang has ever seen.

Jiang Tang felt that there was nothing wrong with this. She was not the kind of tyrant director who wanted to control the gun. On the contrary, she was willing to listen to everyone's opinions.

Personal ideas are always narrow. The more people you see, the more angles you see, which can help her make up for some shortcomings.

Just like the role played by Cen Mei, she may have been born under Jiang Tang's writing, but on the day the whole script story was formed, the world began to operate independently, leaving Jiang Tang's control, and everyone's thoughts and behaviors are no longer controlled by Jiang Tang.

They are no longer puppets, but living souls. Each of them is talking about their own words and sitting on their own affairs, and these are things that Jiang Tang may not be able to take into account.

Of course, she didn't follow Cen Mei's ideas completely.

It’s not that Cen Mei’s suggestion is problematic, but as the director of the entire play, and the actor in charge of a role, they will see different positions and their ideas will naturally be different.

Jiang Tang occasionally comforted and agreed, and occasionally had serious disputes.

The two of them would have fierce verbal confrontation along a question. Jiang Tang would not give in to Cen Mei just because she was a senior, and Cen Mei would not make unreasonable noises about Jiang Tang just because she was a junior.

Both of them presented facts and reasoned, convinced each other with reasonable grounds until the opinions were reached and the happy cooperation continued again.

However, such a picture may be different from what Jiang Tang and Cen Mei thinks.

Whenever the two argue too fiercely, the people standing nearby would quietly retreat a few meters, not even dare to breathe, for fear of being affected by the aftermath of the "quarrel" between these two bigwigs.

Cen Mei: Well? Who quarreled?

Jiang Tang: It’s just an academic discussion.

——So the relaxed and pleasant crew life continues.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhaozhao's guest appearance finally finished filming one weekend.

According to the arrangement, she had to board the plane tonight and return to Dijing so that she could sit in the school classroom on time the next morning and return to her primary school life.

Of course Zhao Zhao was reluctant to leave. In fact, everyone in the crew was very reluctant to leave her. Even if she only had a guest appearance for one week, Zhao Zhao still became everyone's favorite and the little princess in the minds of everyone in the crew.

Jiang Tang took care of her for many times, and Tang Ci treated her gentle and meticulously. Even Cen Mei should pay special attention to her when talking to her. She would teach her words and deeds from time to time. This is an acting class that can't be bought at a sky-high price! Even Jiang Tang couldn't help but listen to a few sentences!

Others in the crew also often feed her. If Zhao Zhao had not strictly controlled her dessert intake under the care of her assistant and nanny, she would have probably gained about ten pounds in this week.

Even so, her suitcase when she went back was stuffed with various snacks and desserts from the crew members.

Before leaving, she gave her a lot of dolls and toys in the name of finishing the gift.

Later, it had piled up into a small hill, so I had to ask Zhaozhao's assistant aunt to mail them back to the Imperial Court.

After finishing the cake and flowers, Zhao Zhao reluctantly said goodbye to everyone and embarked on the journey home.

It was also at this time that Jiang Tang led the entire crew to leave Z Province and began filming across the country.

Time passed quietly in this busy life. Before we knew it, the crew's progress was pushed forward little by little, and it was full.

Finally, the movie "Crimson World" was officially completed!
Chapter completed!
