Disaster Artist

"Ji Xu, you are an excellent producer. I am serious. For me, I am very fortunate that you are willing to continue to be my producer."

Lu Qian's words made Ji Xu stunned for a moment, turned his head to look over, and then saw Lu Qian's smile and eyes full of sincerity, he was a little surprised.

Lu Qian seldom called Ji Xu's full name, often with a mocking joke, "Classmate Ji", except when it was really serious.

For example, now.

Ji Xu was a little uncomfortable, such a solemn thank you really made people uncomfortable, goosebumps appeared, he glanced at Lu Qian with disgust on his face.

"Stop flattering, you just want me to give the green light, don't you? You think I'm Chen Mu, and you'll be fooled again and again, just like the big golden retriever."

Ji Xu's complaints made Lu Qian laugh happily, "Haha, I was seen through. It seems that dealing with those old foxes has also gained a lot of knowledge."

Ji Xu turned sideways, "Are you secretly poking that I was a fool before?"

Lu Qian raised his hands to express his surrender, "This reaction speed, so agile and so fast, is amazing."

"Of course." Ji Xu raised his jaw slightly, but then realized, "Wait, but you didn't deny it!"

What's going on?

Lu Qianqian snapped his fingers in front of Ji Xu, making Ji Xu withdraw his attention.

"The key point, we should focus on the key point and not go off topic."

Before Ji Xu spoke, Lu Qian had already returned to the topic.

"Actually, as you said, there is no problem with this scene, and it has completely met my expectations. There is really no need for us to continue to toss."

"I also began to hesitate, whether my thoughts are too greedy, whether I am chasing an illusory perfection, and whether it is really necessary."

"However, after reading it over and over again, I saw a possibility, a further possibility, and I want to try it again."

Lu Qian was serious.

Even though he realized that the cost was stretched, Lu Qian still wanted to try it.

In fact, he had a hundred thousand reasons to end the shooting of this scene, just this one, directly into the post-editing, there is no problem at all.

However, try again and shoot again, but only one reason is enough.

Lu Qian knew clearly that when he started to hesitate, it meant that he already had an answer in his heart, and all the struggles and trade-offs that followed were all reasons and excuses.

Now, he's frankly admitting it.

Everyone has their own obsessions, and he is no exception.

Ji Xu is playing dead.

The whole person was leaning on the back of the chair, his limbs spread out, his face full of lovelessness, he refused to respond to Lu Qian's words, and expressed his refusal with his body language.

Lu Qian did not speak in a hurry, and let the silence spread.

Of course, if they continue to argue, things are definitely not that simple. Lu Qian has Lu Qian's reasons, and Ji Xu has Ji Xu's concerns. They can even make a table and list all the reasons and situations in a list. Then score them separately to make the final judgment:

Just like a math problem.

But is it really necessary?

Thousands of rational considerations and deliberation, after all, are not comparable to an emotional impulse. It sounds ridiculous and helpless, but this is the weakness of human nature.

one second. two seconds. three seconds.

The two stood still.

The staff around the monitor have all dispersed long ago, which is different from any previous situation. Ji Xu and Lu Qian were discussing the production problem, and the whole body was affected. No one wanted to be involved in it—

Some secrets can be used as dessert after a meal; but some secrets can go as far as you can.

Out of the corner of their eyes, they projected over quietly, but noticing the tension and stalemate here, one or two quickly retracted their gazes, thankful for their alertness.

The air was slightly tense.

In the end, Ji Xu sat up straight again, the eyeballs and the whites of the eyes finally returned to their original positions, and the expression returned to normal.

"All right."

Ji Xu said.

Lu Qian was a little surprised, Ji Xu agreed so simply.

Ji Xu glared at Lu Qian, but in the end, his expression slowed down.

"A Qian, I understand you. You are not an impulsive person. Sometimes, you are even more rational than me."

"I'm not a director, I can't be sure of your perspective and feelings, but I know one thing, after these successes, the invisible pressure on your shoulders is greater than ever. Neither me nor Xiu Zhongjun can understand you 100%. predicament.”

"In this movie, we have always emphasized that we must succeed, we must succeed, we must succeed, and we must not fail, but the problem is that we are not filming the film, you are, we stand outside and point fingers and talk on paper, but we never really understand you. the predicament of the set.”

"It is true that we need this film to succeed, but we all forget that the success of this film depends on you, and you, more than anyone, value this film."

"We are unscrupulous racetrack owners, expecting you to do miracles time and time again, but we can't help."

Taking a long breath, Ji Xu glanced at Lu Qian, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, inhaled, and then exhaled another puff of smoke.

Does Ji Xu not know these truths?

No, he knew, he knew it all, always knew.

The point is that different positions, different responsibilities, different ways of thinking and different angles, as a producer, Ji Xu is destined to not be able to think like a director—

And, it can't either.

If every time the director needs to increase the budget, Ji Xu is considerate and considerate for the director, then the responsibility of the producer will not work~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This not only means that the film budget may be out of control, but also means that The existing film production system will be disrupted and the order will collapse.

The director has the responsibility of the director, and the producer has the responsibility of the producer.

but…

Facing Lu Qian, Ji Xu's thoughts were slightly different, or in other words, they were still different after all.

While swallowing clouds and mists, Ji Xu's stomach was slightly burning, even though his reason was roaring and filial, don't be impulsive, don't be emotional; however, emotions still prevailed in the pulling, biting his teeth and closing his eyes, He worried that if he hesitated any longer, he might change his mind.

Sometimes life takes a little impulse, and maybe now is that "sometimes".

"Actually, my reason tells me that I should stop you, but if you think about it seriously, maybe this is the only thing I can help, let you be willful and risky."

"Aqian, I believe in you, I believe in you more than I believe in myself, so if you say you lack a little bit, it may still be lacking a little bit; if you say you want to give it a try, then we'll give it a try."

"After all, let's not forget the fact that Blue Whale Pictures has grown to the present because of believing in your talent and your intuition."

"You know what you're doing, since you said you wanted to try it out..."

"Then let's try it out."

It was said, and it was said after all.

call.

He exhaled a long breath of smoke again, and Ji Xu looked at Lu Qian through the smoke.

"I'm not sure if I'll regret it, but A Qian, if you can be sure that you won't regret it, that's enough."
