Chapter 424: Journey to the West Broadcasts, Wei Ming Enters Shanghai
The main characters of today's scene were Vanguard Commander, Yixin, and Cixi. Zhang Fengyi had also arrived long ago. Unable to see the female lead, he could only film their rival scenes first, pretending the female lead was on the scene.
Liang Jiahui and Zhang Fengyi had been commuting together recently and cherished each other. Liang Jiahui had also followed Zhang Fengyi to the Film Academy to play a few times and was quite popular. As for Zhang Tielin, it wasn't time for his Eunuch Andehai to appear yet.
When they were about to finish work at noon, Liu Xiaoqing finally appeared, with sweat on her face, as if she had run all the way. Everyone looked at her silently. She also knew that she had committed a big taboo, so she brought a lot of food to add dishes for everyone at noon.
Then she walked up to Director Li Hanxiang and apologized sincerely: "Director, I'm really sorry. I could have come back last night, but the train was delayed, which delayed the time to come back."
Li Hanxiang was silent for about half a minute, then stood up from the director's chair: "Miss Liu Xiaoqing, thank you for your dedication during this period. Please go back and tell your leaders that I want to change a female lead, and then re-film the previous scenes. I won't care about the extra expenses for this part, assuming you can't afford it anyway."
Hearing that Li Hanxiang wanted to replace her, the female lead, Liu Xiaoqing was scared silly. The re-filming of the scenes for a month, the money wasted here was indeed not something she could afford. But because she caused such a big loss to foreign capital, it would be strange if the unit and China Film didn't spare her.
Liu Xiaoqing, who had just acted light and airy, thinking she could easily handle Li Hanxiang, was scared silly.
"Director, give me a chance. I really know I was wrong. Yesterday I knew I couldn't catch the train, I wished I could walk back to Beijing. I really..."
"Remember to leave the script for us." After saying this, Li Hanxiang didn't look at her anymore, his expression determined. The actors who had a good relationship with Liu Xiaoqing before didn't dare to plead for mercy.
At the critical moment, Liu Xiaoqing saw Wei Ming walk over.
"Teacher Wei, help me persuade Director Li. I really know I was wrong. Don't replace me." Liu Xiaoqing's eyes were filled with tears. She had been strong for half her life. At this moment, she was really scared. She couldn't bear the bad influence of being replaced halfway through filming. If it went badly, her acting career would be finished. Which director would dare to use her in the future?
Wei Ming sighed, pulled Liu Xiaoqing to the side, found a place where no one was, and asked her: "What have you been doing these days? Tell me the truth."
Facing the only person who might help her persuade the director, Liu Xiaoqing didn't dare to hide it. She explained: "I went out with a few friends to perform programs for some factories. It was, it was paid."
Sure enough, she went moonlighting.
Wei Ming asked curiously: "How much did you earn?"
Liu Xiaoqing said vaguely: "Not much, can't compare with you, just, just a few hundred yuan."
A few hundred yuan was too attractive to her, a first-line female star in the country, almost a year's salary, so she took the risk. If it weren't for an extra performance in Handan, she wouldn't have missed the train back and caused such a big disaster.
After understanding clearly, Wei Ming led Liu Xiaoqing to Li Hanxiang.
"Director, is your anger gone?"
Li Hanxiang snorted: "Pleading is useless, today whoever comes is useless!"
Wei Ming: "Just now I have severely criticized Liu Xiaoqing. Why don't you give her a chance? Look, she was chosen by me, and as a result, this happened. I can't escape the blame either."
"I don't blame you."
"But I can't forgive myself. Why don't we do this? If you must replace Liu Xiaoqing, then the losses caused by re-filming must be borne by me. Whether it's one million or how much, I'll pay it!"
Liu Xiaoqing was so shocked that she couldn't speak. One million, there really is someone in this world who has one million!
"What are you doing? How can I want your money." Li Hanxiang waved his hand.
Wei Ming: "This matter started because of me. I can't let the Hong Kong compatriots feel cold, so the hole that is missing must be filled by me, unless you are willing to give Liu Xiaoqing a chance."
Liu Xiaoqing looked at Wei Ming gratefully, and then looked at Li Hanxiang with tears falling.
Finally, Li Hanxiang sighed: "Forget it, forget it, I'll give Xiao Wei a face. Go change your clothes. You must finish filming the scenes for the whole day this afternoon. You can't delay the progress."
Hearing that Li Hanxiang finally loosened up, Liu Xiaoqing hurriedly bowed to thank the two, and then ran to put on makeup. She probably wouldn't dare to leave the crew in the future.
And Wei Ming and Li Heizi blinked, everything was in silence.
When Wei Ming proposed to replace Liu Xiaoqing, Li Hanxiang himself didn't agree first. They had already filmed for a month and spent so much money, how could they say replace and replace?
So the two performed such a scene, one singing the white face and one singing the red face, the purpose was to make Liu Xiaoqing afraid, saving her from seeing the benefits of moonlighting to make money and committing it again in the future.
This play was to be filmed for more than half a year. The female lead with the most scenes must listen to the director, otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to work.
After helping Director Li Hanxiang tame the wildest female star in the mainland, Wei Ming returned to school and had to ask for leave again.
Because there was *Journey to the West* to watch at night, Wei Ming went to Nanluoguxiang directly after getting off work, and also called Tuanjiehu, calling Sister Lin to come over to watch TV together.
Now this color TV in Tuanjiehu was the largest one in Wei Ming's few homes. It looked the most refreshing. This color TV was 29 inches large and was only taken down by Wei Ming after being placed in the Friendship Store for a year.
Zhu Lin wasn't aiming for the big color TV, just thinking that he and Xiao Xue were about to go to Shanghai, so let's indulge one more time.
When Zhu Lin came over, Gong Ying hadn't returned home yet. There were only Wei Ming and her. The two started watching from the news.
It wasn't until the weather forecast that Gong Ying returned home.
"I ran into Liu Xiaoqing when I came out of the factory." Gong Ying returned and said this first.
Wei Ming asked: "Oh, how is her state?"
"Quite good. By the way, she also said she wanted to treat you to dinner, and the place is already set," Gong Ying's eyes were playful, "Why is she treating you to dinner for no reason?"
Wei Ming smiled and also hugged Sister Xue over: "When she treats you to dinner, won't you know if you come too?"
Gong Ying: "Good, then I'll really go. Tomorrow at Quanjude, she has already set it."
Zhu Lin hurriedly said: "Can you add me? I'm also curious why she is looking for my man."
Gong Ying: "Will it be not very good? Quanjude is quite expensive."
Wei Ming laughed: "You don't have to think about saving her money. She is not short of money now. That's it. Tomorrow our family of three will eat hers. This money should be spent by her."
The two looked at Wei Ming in confusion. At this time, the weather forecast ended, and *Journey to the West* started!
Because it was just one episode, there was no opening song, just a screen introducing the information: *Journey to the West*, adapted from Wu Cheng'en, Exterminating Demons in Wuji Kingdom, and then it started.
Because there was no opening, naturally there was no director, general consultant, and other introductions, directly entering the main film.
At the beginning, the four masters and disciples didn't appear, but the plot of the King of Wuji Kingdom, the Queen, and the Prince.
The two smart girls saw at a glance that the King was wrong. Wei Ming smiled and spoiled the plot: "That's right, he is a demon." ===== CHAPTER 425 =====
