Shenhao with a learning panel

Apart from creating the storyboard script, Li Shi hasn't drawn properly for a while.

As the saying goes, success cannot be achieved without practice for a day.

After not painting for such a long time, if it were anyone else, their hands would inevitably be rusty.

However, Li Shiyi's study of panels has proved that his painting skills have not regressed. On the contrary, due to further study of calligraphy, his comprehensive aesthetic quality has been improved, which has actually enhanced his painting level!

When I started writing, I felt like a fish in water, without any unfamiliarity or hindrance.

There are only two main characters, the male protagonist and the female protagonist.

Among them, because of the rebirth of the male protagonist, there are two age groups, one is 27 or [-] years old before rebirth, and the other is [-] or [-] years old after rebirth.

The age range spans ten years, but Li Shi easily draws the age sense of the characters, using a super-realistic style.

Anyone who saw it at the scene would be shocked and amazed.

No wonder even Zhang Jingyi, who has been praised a lot since she was a child, felt a great shock.

Li Shi waved the brush very quickly, but after all, he painted in a realistic style. This style pays more attention to details and takes more time than other styles. After finishing the three male protagonists, eight or nine ten minutes passed.

In order not to disturb Li Shi, the little assistant Zhang Huijing had already gone back to her room to deal with work.

But Zhang Jingyi did not expect that one day, she could actually watch people painting for an hour and a half, and she was still enjoying it. It was like the first time she went to a national key laboratory to watch the seniors doing experiments.

I couldn't bear to blink my eyes.

But that time was to remember the operating techniques of all the advanced equipment, and this time, it was pure appreciation, not only for the painting, but also for the person who made the painting. It blends with the pen, paper, desk, and the surrounding environment to form a quiet atmosphere. She feels particularly harmonious and beautiful, and even feels that everything in front of her is a pleasing painting.

As the saying goes, a focused man is the most attractive.

"But I have also seen many dedicated men. Why didn't I feel that before?"

"Perhaps it should be changed to: Good-looking and talented men are most attractive when they focus?"

Zhang Jingyi originally stood by and watched Li Shi's painting, but her legs became sore after standing for a long time, so she went to the sofa and sat down to watch. Seeing that Li Shi was immersed in the painting and did not pay attention to her, she became more and more relaxed. In the end, he even took off his shoes and lay down on the armrest of the sofa, propping his chin with his jade hands, staring fascinatedly.

Li Shi finished drawing the three makeup styles of the male protagonist in different periods, put down the pencil, and planned to take a break before drawing the female protagonist's makeup. He looked at Zhang Jingyi on the other side of the sofa and saw her looking at him in a daze, thinking that It was too boring, so he said: "Senior sister, if you are bored, you can turn on the TV and watch it. It won't affect me."

As long as he enters the state of study and creation, it is common for him to read and paint in the downtown area.

Zhang Jingyi's face turned red and she quickly said: "Forget watching TV, it's getting late. I'm going to wash up."

After finishing speaking, she was about to get up by supporting the armrest of the sofa. She didn't want to stay in the position for too long before, and found that her arms were numb and weak when she moved, and her body threw herself on the sofa instead. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and sat up again.

Li Shi saw it clearly. The girl on the sofa was rising and falling, and inadvertently showed a very perfect waist and hip curve. Her concave and convex figure had a primitive temptation for men.

Even though he didn't have any nasty thoughts about Zhang Jingyi, his eyes couldn't help but linger on that curve for a while, and then he came to his senses and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Jingyi never thought that she would have a day when her hands and feet would go numb and her face would turn red because she watched a boy hold his position for too long. At this time, her acting skills, which have skyrocketed in the past six months, came into full play and she pretended to be fine. Same, he smiled and said: "It's okay, senior, you can continue your work, I'm going to wash up."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the room where she slept to get toiletries.

Li Shi didn't think much and continued to draw the modeling drawings.

There are three looks for the male lead, and more for the female lead, but he only plans to design two sets.

One set is her appearance, capturing the male protagonist with a youthful and pure image, and also leaving a deep impression on the male audience in front of the screen in the future.This set of makeup is a head of hair and a traditional blue and white school uniform.

The other set is that the two are finally together, and the hero is in a trance, dreaming back to the scene of breaking up on a rainy night in his previous life.

Four or 10 minutes later, Zhang Jingyi came out after taking a shower and changed into a loose yellow printed pajamas. Seeing the first set of shapes that Li Shi had drawn, she was surprised again: "This is Zhang Feng?"

Zhang Feng has good facial features. If she had no make-up, she would be considered an ordinary and pretty girl. However, the Zhang Feng in this painting is wearing a school uniform and a ponytail. She has delicate facial features and a pure and pleasant temperament. She would be worried about being placed in any middle school. I can afford the term "campus beauty".

Li Shi did not look up and continued to draw the second set of looks while explaining: "What I drew is a rendering. You can think of it as how it will look after putting on makeup and using photography technology."

Zhang Jingyi took a closer look after hearing the words, and couldn't help but said: "Senior, Zhang Feng is no longer a middle school student after all, and her personal temperament is a bit far from the pure and lovely person in this painting. This is not easy to shoot. Not to mention makeup, are Wang Zhi’s photography skills good?”

After she became the assistant director, she made a point of getting to know the professional skills of several key members of the team. Wang Zhi, who was in charge of photography, seemed to her to be nothing special.

Li Shi naturally knew the level of Wang Zhi, a part-time photographer.

He temporarily put down his pen, raised his head and smiled at her: "It's okay, I will personally take the shots for such important scenes."

Zhang Jingyi:? ?
She blinked, wondering in her heart, you personally took the photo, what does this mean?
Two days later, Zhang Jingyi finally understood that what Li Shi said was literal.

This morning, the sky was clear and clear, and a small film crew was busy on the playground of Zhenhua Middle School.

Li Shi didn't care about other things. He focused on talking to Zhang Feng, who played Zhou Yan, while holding a hand-held camera, constantly observing the changes in the light in the environment, composing pictures to find angles, and preparing to seize the opportunity to start shooting at any time:
"This is your appearance, Zhou Yan. It's very simple. You just sit with the book you just picked up. You are waiting for someone in this scene. There are no lines, just pay attention to your expression."

"At this time, don't think about anything else, put aside all distracting thoughts, you are Zhou Yan at this time, a freshman in high school who simply enjoys the good morning."

……

"Lift your chin a little, and look up a little, okay, that's it, imagine yourself bathing in the morning sun."

"Don't close your eyes all the time, open them, that's right——Wang Zhi, the wind from the fan should be lower!"

"Zhou Yan, there should be a slight smile in your eyes and corners of your mouth."

"It's over, don't be so obvious, you are just enjoying a beautiful morning, not something good happened... Yes, just like this, keep this state."

In less than 15 minutes, Li Shi put down the camera: "Okay, let's rest for a few minutes."

He and Zhang Jingyi came to the equipment to watch the replay.

When Zhang Jingyi saw the footage taken by Li Shi holding the camera, she immediately didn't know what to say.

Li Shi's handheld shot of Zhou Yan's appearance is not only stunningly stable, but the key is that in the shot, the girl bathing in the sun has bright eyes and white teeth, pure and youthful. She is so beautiful that even a girl can't see her. I think it's really lovely.

What's more important is that Zhou Yan in the video looks exactly the same as the picture he drew that night!
After a long time, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but turned her head and whispered to Li Shi next to her, "Senior, you are too amazing." The two of them will be next to each other, and her breath hit Li Shi's side face .

In the next few days, as the filming progressed, Li Shi felt more and more that he had done the right thing in asking Zhang Jingyi to be the acting assistant director.

Although he himself can train actors, even without Zhang Jingyi, he would definitely be able to finish this film in the end, but his ability to train actors is rough and direct, far less detailed and professional than Zhang Jingyi.

In particular, she has a strong ability to mobilize emotions, and can always help actors find alternative emotions from their own memories to act.

Li Shi felt that this was simply her trick.

Of course, Deputy Director Zhang has not encountered Waterloo.

For example, when the male protagonist came home from his previous life and encountered a scene where his ex-wife was having trouble with his lover in the bedroom, she couldn’t instruct Wang Yao’s aunt how to act, especially when the male protagonist passed through the door and saw his ex-wife wearing a cheongsam and walking towards her lover with her fat buttocks twisted. Li Shi's request was to perform that sao energy and seductive sense of sluttyness.

Although all the other men except Li Shi and Peng Chang, who plays the opposite role, have left the scene, Wang Yao's aunt is still not acted correctly. Zhang Jingyi tried her best but failed to direct it well.

In the end, Li Shi saw that the time had dragged on for too long, so he could only do it by himself.

With a professional attitude, he pulled Wang Yao's aunt with a familiar figure to the side alone, and talked about the scene for seven or eight minutes.

After returning, Aunt Wang Yao, who was red-faced, miraculously took two shots, especially the one she passed.

Li Shi, who personally directed this scene, was very calm and breathed evenly - at his current level, his breath would only be thick when it should be thick.

After filming the scene, that night when they returned to Tianjiao's Washington mansion, Zhang Jingyi asked Li Shi how he talked to Aunt Wang Yao about the scene during the day.

Li Shi smiled without saying a word.

Time passed day by day, because all the shots needed were already in Li Shi's mind, and Peng Chang, who played the male lead, was getting more and more into the role.

On the morning of July 15th, on the streets of Shaoshi, Peng Chang walked into a rice noodle shop, ate a bowl of noodles, then walked into the bus station with a bag in his hand, and embarked on a journey away from his hometown again.

The sun shines on this old station, as if time is still stuck in the past.

In this way, the last page of the script was also filmed.

Li Shi was in a hurry to go to Shanghai, and at noon of the day after the filming, he led the team back to Tanzhou, the provincial capital.

On the way, the little assistant Zhang Huijing was still driving, the same as when he came half a month ago, he and Zhang Jingyi sat in the back.

Zhang Jingyi leisurely flipped through the storyboard script that Li Shi gave her as a reward, and said with some emotion: "This period of time is more like a dream than when I changed my career to become an actor. I didn't expect that I would actually become an assistant director once again."

Li Shi was buying a high-speed rail ticket to Shanghai in the afternoon, when he heard this, he looked up at her: "This time you helped me a lot."

"Why should we be polite between us? Besides, I have also gained a lot."

Zhang Jingyi waved her hand, looking like a chivalrous heroine.

In the past half a month, they worked together, got along day and night, and even lived under the same roof. Their friendship has increased rapidly, and they can be regarded as very good friends.

Moreover, Zhang Jingyi did not hide her appreciation for Li Shi at all.

The two chatted casually, and when Li Shi bought a ticket to Shanghai at night and exited 12306, Zhang Jingyi pointed to the words on the cover of the script and said, "Senior, what is the last name of our film? Have you considered?"

"not yet."

When he mentioned the title of the film, Li Shi couldn't help but touch his chin.

When writing the script before, he tentatively named it "Calligraphy: Rebirth as a Youth", and then the crew kept complaining about it, saying that the name looked like a street attack, and suggested to him that it would be better to change it. .

Li Shi was actually not satisfied with the name, but he still couldn't think of a better one to change it to.

"Let's talk later."

Zhang Jingyi took a plane to Beijing at noon, and arrived in Tanzhou two hours later. Li Shi asked Zhang Huijing to go directly to Huanghua Airport first, and then return to the studio.

Wang Zhi and Zhao Lingfang, who arrived first, were waiting for them.

After a brief meeting, Li Shi explained the next work arrangement: "During this time, everyone has worked hard. Let's take two days off first to recover. After two days, we will start post-production. Wang Zhi, you have to choose Take up the burden."

Wang Zhi immediately said: "Understood."

Li Shi looked at the screenwriter Zhao Lingfang again: "Lingfang, you are the most familiar with the script, and you will help Wang Zhi when the time comes."

Zhao Lingfang also nodded.

After the meeting, leave work.

Zhang Huijing drove Li Shi to Phoenix Bay: "Boss, do you need me to come again in the evening?"

Li Shi shook his head, smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "No need, you have been busy up and down during this period, which is the hardest, go back and have a good rest, I will just call a special car to go to the high-speed rail station, by the way, after the holiday Come up, watch Wang Zhi and the others cut out the first draft of the video as soon as possible."

Go upstairs and return to your home after a long absence. First, open the window for ventilation, then go to the bathroom and take a shower.

Ten minutes later, Li Shi changed his clothes and came to the living room, sat comfortably on the sofa, turned on the TV and watched casually. After a while, he remembered the title of the film, picked up his phone again, opened WeChat, and found a message called " WeChat group of "Our Big Crew Family".

This time all the main creators are in the group, apart from the people from the studio and Zhang Jingyi, there are also Wang Yao, Peng Chang, and Zhang Feng.

He first issued five red envelopes of 1000 yuan in a row, and then typed a sentence alone: ​​"Thank you for your hard work during this time, and I will help you think about the title of the film. If it is finally adopted, there will be a separate Big red envelope! (raise eyebrows)"

After the message was sent out, he also grabbed the red envelope himself, and clicked on the receipt record to see who had the best luck.

"Hey, why did Zhang Jingyi snatch it too?"

He suddenly discovered that Zhang Jingyi, who was supposed to be on the plane, was also grabbing the red envelopes, and was about to send a message alone to ask about the situation, but instead of sending her message first:
"Senior, what exactly did you say to Wang Yao's aunt that day?"

Li Shi blinked and understood in seconds.

I knew that what she was asking about must be the scene where the male protagonist was having sex with his ex-wife. (End of chapter)
