Compared to that, being an artist assistant is much safer, and getting paid is safe too. But that doesnât rule out some stars who donât want to pay top dollar, offering street corner money for ring side work, which is enough to make a dog cry.
Xiaoyan was worried and decided to observe for a while, thinking that it would be great if Teacher Xu opened a studio and was hiring.
The first round of the grand rehearsal had ended.
Two days later, the directorâs team sent out notices for the dates of the second round of the grand rehearsal.
Xu Qingyan was no longer so busy; his main task was simply identifying problems and finding solutions. The directorâs team was large, and he was primarily responsible for the preliminary preparations for âShi Changâanâ. There hadnât been any major issues during the grand rehearsal.
In the strategic plan, after the switch to the main stage of the Spring Festival Galaâs venue,
The opening featured animation and the city gates opening, followed by the segment he was in charge of. He wasnât the only one responsible; he oversaw the effects, and if they werenât satisfactory, changes had to be made. The specifics of shooting involved the director communicating with the artists on site.
During the first grand rehearsal, not all artists were present, which depended mainly on the coordination between the directorâs team and the artistsâ teams.
After all, dancers and college students could rehearse for a month, but it wasnât possible for celebrities to clear a monthâs schedule for rehearsals. As professionals, they often only needed to rehearse twice for straightforward parts.
For example, during the first round of rehearsals for the poetry recitation segment that Xu Qingyan was responsible for, the artists participated. Tall and slender, looking pale, the rehearsal effect was good, so they agreed with the directorâs team that they wouldnât attend the second time.
Therefore, during the second grand rehearsal, Xu Qingyan, who was similar in height and build, had to stand in.
âTeacher Xu, donât look so bitter,â teased Gan Wenchang, enjoying the spectacle on site, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, âWho else but our dear Teacher Xu looks most like a star here, oh, my mistake, you are a star.â
Xu Qingyan gave Gan Wenchang a glance and silently mouthed a âget lostâ.
In mid-January, the temperature had nearly dropped below zero. Xu Qingyan, who had stuck seven or eight hand warmers on himself, marched into battle. This segment required interaction with animations, necessitating a specific costume, even though this part was filmed indoors, the temperature still hovered around a few degrees.
âLetâs go, we wonât delay any longer, even if Teacher Xu is in good health, we canât waste it!â the director joked to ease the atmosphere, called out loudly, âGet ready! Get ready!â
âTurn your head, look in the eyes, yes, perfect, beautiful!â
The directorâs team laughed and cheered, playing the role of spirit boosters after the shoot.
âSo handsome, Teacher Xu!â
âTeacher Xu is amazing! My idol! So handsome, I want to marry you!â (said by a man)
The atmosphere is usually quite serious when the actors come on set to shoot, since their time is valuable. Itâs best to watch the bloopers with civilized interest.
Too much laughter and jest could lead to complaints from the agent, as the artistâs energy is also precious, and they might have to rush off to their next appointment after rehearsal.
But when it comes to Xu Qingyan, itâs not so strict. The colleagues have been together for over two months, with daily meetings and problem-solving, so the pressure is high. An opportunity to relax like this is not something theyâd easily give up, and they play and tease to their heartâs content.
âTeacher Xu, didnât you miss a word in the lines? Thatâs not thorough!â
âHe didnât miss it; Teacher Xu, being from the south, swallowed the word, thatâs a fine there.â
These little bastards⦠Qingyan was really impressed with this group, having been emotionally beaten in the first grand rehearsal, and now they were using him to blow off steam. Recite, recite, recite⦠recite a damn poem, heâs just a stand-in.
With that thought, an idea suddenly struck him. Having smoothly gotten through once, he quickly found He Guojin.
He Guojin, in fact, was also difficult to find. Later, He Guojin himself realized this, and simply gave Qingyan his private phone number for urgent matters.
âHey buddy, Iâve got a new idea. Letâs invite some well-known celebrities to recite poetry,â Xu Qingyan said, having once overheard someone call He Guojin âHey buddyâ and decided to do the same. As for the term âBrother He,â it was reserved for different occasions; on the job, it was proper to address positions.
âCelebrities reciting poetry? Hmm⦠The ideaâs good, but having only celebrities wonât be comprehensive enough. Letâs pick a few representatives of the cultural field. Like actors, directors, writers, singers, and so on.â
âAlright! Thatâs why you always think of everything, buddy. Will you bring it up at this afternoonâs meeting?â
âSure, you start the topic, and Iâll speak up to help you. Use the revised version of the proposal.â
âUnderstood.â@@novelbin@@
In the afternoon, the directorâs team meeting.
After Director Ji Shiâan finished discussing the current issues, he asked if anyone had any thoughts during the routine questioning, and just then, he caught sight of Xu Qingyan raising his hand.
Ji Shiâan was slightly surprised; Xu Qingyan had been quiet for a month. Initially, he had casually mentioned âthe greatest skill is to have no artâ, meaning he had hoped Xu would be cautious with his words in the future to go further.
Who knew that the rascal would completely shut up? Except for diligently working on useful contributions related to his tasks, he hardly spoke at other times. When asked if he had any ideas, his response was always âDirectorâs wisdom is supreme.â
It allowed him to fish openly and legitimately, yet there was no fault to be found. Ji Shiâan thought this good-for-nothing would keep it up indefinitely, but now he actually wanted to speak.
Ji Shiâan gestured to Xu Qingyan to speak and at the same time wondered if he should say âA gentleman is not a toolâ to that person in the future?
Xu Qingyan stood up and began, âRegarding our program, under the enlightenment and correction of Group Leader He, I have a new idea.â
