Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 88 On-set experiences

The next day, at an indoor studio in a Los Angeles movie studio, many people were sweating profusely because the air-conditioning unit had just broken down and was still being repaired.

At this time, the crew of "I'm Crazy About Love", whose name is full of flavor, was busy, but they were not filming. Instead, they looked a little panicked.

Complaints came one after another, all of which were "polite" greetings to certain air-conditioning manufacturers and maintenance personnel, as well as female relatives of the studio boss.

Early this morning, Todd, who had made an appointment with Xie Zihao, drove to pick him up and go to the set with him. Melinda didn't come with her because she had to visit a store and was not very interested in places like the entertainment industry.

Of course, Todd had already informed the director team in advance that if he brought anyone here casually, unless he was a celebrity visiting team, the management of the production team would definitely get angry. By then, would he, the intern assistant director, be able to work here?

Say both.

It’s nice to have air conditioning in the car. Although it’s a bit old, it still works. By the time the two got off the car, the temperature in the morning was already very high. Todd, who was a little weak, was already sweating slightly after walking a few steps. By the time they got to the photo shoot,

Being in the shed is even more like entering a steamer.

After Todd came in, he first took Xie Zihao to the workshop of the props team with whom he was familiar, to inquire about the situation. These crew members could be said to be the most well-informed.

When I walked in, I asked for a bottle of mineral water without saying anything. I opened it and drank half of it.

Let out a comfortable breath:

"Huh, it's better for you prop artists and makeup artists!"

Todd, who had calmed down a bit, picked up the magazine on the table and used it as a fan, trying his best to bring some coolness to himself. He complained like a big man:

"You still have your own room, but our director team is miserable. Only the director and assistant directors have a place to rest. We director assistants are like slaves serving a tyrant. If we want to rest, we can only place a deck chair outside.

."

Xie Zihao laughed after hearing this:

"Slave, how can a slave have a place to rest? I think you are the eunuch beside the ancient emperor..."

The bearded staff member in the room burst into laughter after hearing this.

Perhaps because he is an only child, which is rare in the Federation, and because he was small when he was a child. As a result, Todd has a somewhat clumsy personality and a sharp tongue, and is best at enlivening the atmosphere.

In my memory, this guy is pretty good-looking, but because he is a bit inferior compared to Xie Zihao, he likes to invite his original self to go out with him to pick up girls. Usually Xie Zihao will get the most beautiful flower, and then he will get the second one. This is also

It's a kind of wingman in disguise, right?

In this regard, Stilico was quite opposed to Xie Zihao having a girlfriend. He even agreed with his predecessor's breakup with his girlfriend. In his words, "the two swordsmen of NTU can finally show off in the nightclub."

So majestic."

It's a pity that Xie Zihao traveled back in time shortly after, and because he was an intern on the set, as a hard-working director's assistant, he was ordered to be as busy as a dog every day, and he had no time or energy to go to nightclubs to hunt for women.

.

Of course Xie Zihao didn't pity this guy at all.

Hearing this, Todd couldn't help but give Xie Zihao a resentful roll of his eyes.

Indeed, these director assistants who flatter the director look very much like eunuchs serving the emperor. Don’t think that there are no eunuchs in the West. This ancient profession soon spread from the Ottoman court to Rome after it came to the West with the conquerors of the steppes.

, the courts of Falanxi and other countries.

However, after this joke, the atmosphere became more familiar. The staff member, the prop master, continued to complain:

"If you want to blame it, just blame the crew for having no money! Otherwise, there would be no need to save so much by renting two large studios. Renting such an old studio, not to mention the broken air conditioning, and having to squeeze in with other crews and take turns

Use a scene. And what kind of studio am I?"

Xie Zihao looked around and found that this place was not so much a studio as it was a simple partition in a studio, a bit like a fitting room in a shopping mall, and there were no doors or two windows installed.

Windows allow people to see clearly from the outside, and people inside can also see outside.

Of course, being able to receive such treatment in the crew is much better than that of ordinary staff members. This is because he is currently the only prop master on the crew and his skills are very good.

The key is that these props also need a place to store, and manufacturing and modifying the props also requires space.

While the two were talking, Xie Zihao also heard some information from the crew.

Because their drama focuses on romance and comedy elements, it is somewhat similar to the low-budget idol dramas from Wanwan, and it belongs to the category of urban sitcoms. The props and scenery required are relatively simple, and the set and filming locations are basically fixed and ready-made.

There are several, so in order to save costs, the producer has only five people in the entire props team. This person is the only props master among them, and the rest are temporarily hired staff to do manual work.

If it's a fantasy or horror film crew, there will be a lot of scenes and props that need to be arranged, and it will probably take at least a team of prop masters to handle it.

Not long after, the prop master had something to do and left, and Todd came over and said:

"By the way, aren't you hot?"

Xie Zihao said seriously:

"A calm mind naturally cools down. It's no wonder you are so impetuous and not warm!"

Todd said with a don't fool me expression:

"Stop talking, you must have used some kind of magic, right? Come on, give me a shot to cool down too!"

Xie Zihao heard this and said helplessly:

"It's not a magical method."

Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered a curse to Todd.

Todd only felt a lightness all over his body, and then he felt that the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a few degrees. Although he could still feel a little residual heat, it was bearable.

"It's amazing! Why didn't you tell me earlier with such amazing magic? But why didn't the temperature drop?"

He looked at the thermometer hanging in the cubicle and said in surprise.

Xie Zihao gave a few simple explanations to his friend.

In fact, although his practice is still at a shallow stage, he does not have any magical powers like those in Xianxia novels that make ghosts and gods weep. The most powerful ones are the mental projection given by fantasy authority and the hypnotic ability of Sharingan. Even

The kind of internal strength that is impervious to cold and heat in martial arts novels cannot be compared to it.

But after all, he has already entered the realm of extraordinary disciples. He is considered to be a high-level extraordinary apprentice, and he is not far away from breaking through to the innate realm.

There are still some ways to adapt yourself to the surrounding environment.

A simple cooling spell will do the trick. Strictly speaking, this is called mental deception.

Moreover, the air conditioner on the set is broken and there is a fan on it. Coupled with his superhuman physique and the fact that California has not yet reached the hottest period this year, Xie Zihao is now in a sultry environment of 35 or 6 degrees Celsius, but his condition is worse than

Others are much better.

Others would sweat profusely and get extremely hot even if the fan was blowing on, but he only sweated a little. One was due to the natural cooling of his mind, and the other was mainly due to the effect of this cooling spell.

As for Todd, who was also blessed by the cooling spell, although the effect was there, it was not as comfortable as him, because he still couldn't calm down.

At this time, the prop master came back. Todd saw his expression and asked:

"Why hasn't the crew started work yet?"

The prop master was also covered in sweat. He took a sip of water and said:

"Todd, is the director's team very free? Why don't you come over to my place and hang out when you have nothing to do?"

No more!

See you tomorrow!
