Chapter 922: Spring Festival Abroad

The next day.

The set was being arranged in an orderly manner, and Tan Yue was instructing several actors on how to perform next.

The assistant director came over and said, "Director Tan, the venue has been set up."

"Wait for me." After explaining the play to the actors, Tan Yue checked whether there were any problems with the props.

More than half an hour later, with the script clerk clapping, a new scene officially started shooting.

Tan Yue was concentrating on watching the actors' performances on the monitor.

"Click." Tan Yue came over and said, "This emotion is not expressed well."

This time, Tan Yue focused on explaining the character's emotions in detail.

"Do you understand what I just said?"

The actor nodded and said, "I understand, Director Tan."

"Turn on the camera and shoot again."

Hearing Tan Yue's arrangement, the assistant director shouted loudly, "All departments get ready."

After the guidance, the actors' performance was obviously much better this time. For such actors, Tan Yue was also very patient and said, "This is the emotion. Let's do it again."

After shooting this three times, it finally met the requirements.

Tan Yue looked at the filmed clips and wanted to communicate with Ma Guoliang, so he asked the assistant director to find someone.

During this period, even if there was no scene, Ma Guoliang would stay on the set.

The two had a lot of in-depth conversations about actors and cameramen.

The assistant director looked for Ma Guoliang's favorite places in the dressing room and the bench under the oak forest, but he didn't see him this time.

He ran back to the set and said breathlessly: "Director Tan, Mr. Ma didn't come to the set today."

"It shouldn't be." Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and called Ma Guoliang.

'Beep-beep-' The phone rang for more than 20 seconds before the sound was heard.

"Mr. Tan, I'm sorry, it's not convenient just now. What's the matter?"

"Nothing important, I just want to talk to you about the filming issues. Forget it if you're not on the set."

"I'm in the hospital now, and it will take some time to go back."

Tan Yue frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing." Ma Guoliang said awkwardly, "I couldn't help it two days ago, and I ate a spicy hot pot. Now I have hemorrhoids."

After finishing the filming yesterday, he returned to the hotel and didn't eat dinner. He just drank a few bottles of water. He didn't expect to wake up from his sleep in pain this morning.

Ma Guoliang felt that if he didn't come to the hospital for a check-up, he would really have to stop filming later.

Besides, he was still abroad now, and the whole crew couldn't wait for him for so long. Even if everyone was willing to wait for him, Ma Guoliang didn't want to delay the progress of the entire crew because of himself.

"What's the situation now?" Tan Yue suddenly remembered that it was no wonder that Ma Guoliang didn't eat spicy food during this period. Once, the whole crew praised the mapo tofu, but he didn't touch it with a chopstick. It turned out that he had become a "youth with hemorrhoids".

"It's not a big deal, just take some medicine."

"Okay, tell me if you have anything, and be careful on the road."

"Okay, Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue put down the phone and continued filming. At the same time, he was thinking about Ma Guoliang's food problem. He decided to find a time to talk to the kitchen and prepare a non-spicy meal.

There are many people in the crew. In order to make the food taste better, no matter what dish it is, the taste will be heavier, which is also considered for everyone's taste.

On the other side.

Looking at Ma Guoliang putting down his phone, the doctor said: "Mr. Ma, my suggestion is to have surgery. Your current condition is very serious. If you don't do it now, it will greatly affect your life in the later stage. And I can guarantee that with your current condition, you will definitely have surgery in the future."

After the doctor examined him, he directly suggested surgery, because Ma Guoliang's condition was already very serious.

Ma Guoliang thought about it and said: "I'm sorry, I have more important things to do now, and I really can't spare the time."

In fact, he was also bitter in his heart.

If I go to Tan Yue to ask for leave now, I will definitely get leave for surgery.

But the key to the problem now is that he feels bad about it. It is not appropriate to let so many people wait abroad.

Looking at Ma Guoliang's firm expression, the doctor had no choice but to say: "It is your own decision whether to have surgery or not. In this case, let me get you some medicine for the time being."

"Thank you." Ma Guoliang had already inquired about this hospital before coming, and it is very famous in the local area.

"This medicine can only temporarily relieve your symptoms. If you want to recover, my suggestion is to have surgery immediately after you are done with this period of time."

Then the doctor made some dietary suggestions, which were roughly the same as what domestic doctors said, and Ma Guoliang was also familiar with it.

"Thank you for your reminder."

Ma Guoliang also had this idea. After the filming of "Forrest Gump" was finished, he went to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible.

Of course, the most important thing is to control his diet during the next period of time.

Thinking of this, Ma Guoliang sighed in his heart. If his diet was really easy to control, he would not have hemorrhoids this time.

It was already noon when he returned to the crew from the hospital. After taking medicine at the hotel, Ma Guoliang came to the crew for dinner.

Foreign food tastes good if you eat it occasionally, but it is a bit hard to swallow if you eat it for a long time.

Especially when you eat it on a daily basis, there are a lot of fried foods, which is not very friendly to Ma Guoliang now.

"Teacher Ma, this is your meal." A steward came over with a lunch box.

"Thank you, I can just go get it myself." Ma Guoliang opened the lunch box and saw that his lunch box seemed different from others.

Ma Guoliang also has no airs. When eating, everyone would sit together and eat together.

"Teacher Ma, how is the situation?"

Hearing Tan Yue's voice behind him, Ma Guoliang stood up and replied, "I've already taken the medicine."

"Pay more attention in normal times." Tan Yue said with concern.

"I couldn't hold it back the past two days." Ma Guoliang thought of something and said, "This dish."

"Eat with confidence, I asked the chef to prepare this specially for you."

"Thank you, Director Tan."

On the set, Tan Yue ate the same food as the crew members, and Ma Guoliang didn't want to be special.

The two sat down and chatted while eating.

Tan Yue said: "If you feel uncomfortable in the future, please tell me in advance. Even if you stop filming, you must rest when you need to. Your body is the capital of the revolution."

He also knew that Ma Guoliang must be worried about delaying the filming progress, so he did not mention the illness.

Ma Guoliang nodded slightly and said, "What problems did you encounter during the morning shooting?"

Tan Yue expressed his thoughts and the two started discussing.

The filming scene of "Forrest Gump".

Ma Guoliang and several other actors gathered around Tan Yue and looked at the monitor.

After a performance had just ended, Tan Yue felt that it was very good and could be regarded as a performance case, so the few of them studied it in detail.

"Mr. Ma's performance is really amazing." After watching it over and over again, Tan Yue couldn't help but praise it.

"That's awesome."

"It's amazing."

Several onlookers extended their thumbs.

Ma Guoliang said: "The ability to achieve such an effect is the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Although that is said, actors also pay attention to a "feeding scene" among themselves.

One of the actors said: "Teacher Ma, it is better for you to lead inside."

Several other people also nodded in unison.

A few of them often appeared in supporting roles in various movies and played opposite many big actors, but it was rarely the case today.

"While everyone is in good condition, let's start filming the next scene."

"good."

Seeing that such good results could be achieved, everyone's emotions naturally increased a lot, thinking that they could leave their own scene in the film industry.

"Forrest Gump"'s butt was injured during the war. Ma Guoliang took an ice cream and sat next to the TV with his butt sticking out.

I haven't been shot in the butt, but I have suffered from hemorrhoids, so it would be more comfortable to sit sideways.

"Good posture, Teacher Ma." The scene in front of him almost made Tan Yue laugh, and now many staff members had their mouth corners raised.

This posture and Ma Guoliang's expression really made him look like a fool.

Ma Guoliang licked the ice cream naturally, and the recorder started filming.

"Forrest Gump, how can you watch such a boring program? Turn it off." The wounded man passed by.

‘Forrest Gump’ stuck his butt out with difficulty and turned off the TV.

The actor who was playing table tennis saw the opportunity and hit Ma Guoliang.

"Good call, Forrest."

‘Forrest Gump’ raised his head with an innocent and confused expression.

"Can you play table tennis?"

‘Forrest Gump’ shook his head.

"Come, let me teach you."

Ma Guoliang moved his butt slightly, looking shaky as he walked, and took the table tennis racket.

"The key to playing table tennis is to never take your eyes off the ball, no matter what happens."

The camera followed Ma Guoliang for a while.

"Ka, just go ahead." Tan Yue didn't find any faults in this performance.

After a few more scenes were filmed, the sky gradually became darker.

Everyone started packing their things and getting ready to go back to the hotel.

Tan Yue picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Everyone, please pause for a moment. I have something to announce to you."

The employees put down their work, and the actors who were about to remove their makeup also stopped.

"Everyone has been working hard during this period. The Spring Festival is coming soon, so we have two days off."

There were cheers.

"I just said we should have a holiday during the New Year."

"You can lie down and rest for two days."

Tan Yue continued: "Everyone be quiet for a moment. After I finish speaking, everyone will continue cheering. It is the first time for many of us to go abroad, let alone celebrate the New Year abroad. This year, due to work reasons, we cannot return to China. "Although we are abroad, the Chinese New Year atmosphere is essential. The crew has rented a large villa, and we will go there to have fun tonight."

The sound of cheers came from the set again.

"We must have a good time tonight."

"It will definitely be very lively if the crew goes there together."

"This is my first time celebrating the New Year with so many people! I'm a little excited just thinking about it."

"I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight."

Tan Yue said: "Everyone clean up the studio and go directly to the villa."

The filming location was originally a tourist town, so Tan Yue directly asked people to rent a villa here.

After hearing Tan Yue's arrangement, everyone packed their things much faster.

Soon someone was heading to the villa.

Tan Yue was not in a hurry, and first carefully checked the clips taken today.

It is very likely that you will drink alcohol in the evening and delay your work.

When he made sure that there was no problem with the clip, he looked up again. There were only a few people on the set. They were all heads of various departments.

Tan Yue's crew always had such a rule that the head could not leave before the employees left.

"Have you packed up the equipment?"

"Packed up."

"No problem."

The crew had two days off, and everything had to be packed up.

Tan Yue personally checked the equipment of each department to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

"You go first, no need to wait for me here."

Several heads nodded slightly and left. In the end, only Tan Yue and the assistant director were left.

The two walked towards the villa while chatting.

"Do you have the confidence to make a movie by yourself in the future?"

Since Tan Yue started making movies, this assistant director has been following him.

"Of course I have thought about it, but I think it's good to be your assistant director all the time. I like it very much."

The assistant director was very serious when he spoke. He learned a lot from Tan Yue.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "When you have a chance in the future, you can apply to me and make a movie yourself."

"Thank you, Director Tan."

It's really good under Tan Yue's aura, but he is also a man with great ambitions.

Tan Yue suddenly raised this question today because he saw the ability of this assistant director.

The distance is very close, and the two arrived at the villa in more than ten minutes.

The villa is very large, and there is a lawn in front of the door.

"Director Tan."

"Assistant director."

Seeing the two people coming over, the busy people greeted them one after another.

"This meat filling smells so good!" As soon as he approached, Tan Yue smelled the smell of meat filling.

"This has to be thanked to Chef Qian and Chef Meng. I didn't expect their meat filling to be so fragrant."

During this period, the whole crew has become one, and the relationship can be said to be quite harmonious.

"Mr. Tan, please sit down." Xiaopang stood up and gave his stool to Tan Yue.

Tan Yue thanked him, then sat down and chatted with everyone.

"Do you go home every Chinese New Year?"

"It depends on work arrangements, but I will try to go back if I can."

"I haven't been home for several years. The Chinese New Year now doesn't have the flavor of my childhood. It feels the same."

One of the older staff members said, "Now we eat better and wear better clothes. It's not like before when we could only eat meat and buy new clothes during the Chinese New Year. Technology was not as advanced as it is now. High-speed trains and planes can get you home in a few hours. Back then, you had to squeeze into the train. Who would go home for nothing unless it was the Chinese New Year?"

There were obviously a lot of people, but it was very quiet, listening to everyone talk about their own stories.
