I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 265: 263 This Play, Got It

Chapter 265 263. This show, there is

The crew has been preparing for the last scene of Liang Bingning and Yang Mi for a long time.

There is only one reason why it takes so long to prepare.

That is Xu Xin's insistence on taking one shot to the end.

Li Pingdong was the first to raise objections, because this scene is conservatively estimated to be at least fifteen to twenty minutes long.

During the period, there are a lot of moves, lines, expressions, emotional embellishments...

This is not a fight scene, or a scene show of that kind.

This is a literary play, the biggest conflict between Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng.

In this scene, the transition of the two sisters from loving each other to killing each other and then to loving each other is perfect, holistic and three-dimensional.

is also the final turning point of the whole film.

One shot is simply too far-fetched.

Let’s not talk about whether the actors can grasp the huge amount of lines, but it is difficult for the actors to accurately grasp the complicated movements and emotional changes.

So, he was the first to object and planned to shoot normally.

But Xu Xin insisted.

It is precisely because no one dares to do it that he must do it.

One shot to the end, using camera movement and lens switching to complete the iteration of the inner thoughts of the two characters.

From walking together, to abandoning you, to finally begging you to leave with me, and sorry, please abandon me.

Thinking of this kind of scene, the kind of tension shown in front of the camera that takes one shot to the end, Xu Xin is so excited that he can't sleep all night.

After Li Pingdong raised objections, other directors also raised objections.

but…

They are not general directors.

Xu Xincai.

So, in the end, Xu Xin decided to take one shot to the end.

Handheld camera.

From Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu entering the room, to walking to the bathroom, to the emotional encounter in the narrow space in the bathroom...everything is done with a handheld camera.

This is a great test for actors and photographers.

Even if Li Pingdong is an old man who walked in strong winds and waves, he still has some headaches.

So, during this period of time, the entire crew has been leading the two actors to study how to take the route, while Yang Mi and Liang Bingning have to ensure the changes in their emotions and lines while memorizing the route.

When we talked about smooth shooting before, the two of them experimented twice after shooting this part.

Works poorly.

But Xu Xin still insisted on not changing.

He will take one shot to the end.

So, in the second half of the shooting, the actors started to skip shots.

Finished all the scenes, made sure not to delay the work of others, and then left the two of them to grind slowly.

During the day yesterday, the scenes of Wang Zhiwen, Shi Chaoqi, and Huang Xiaoming were completed one after another.

The queue lasted until 2 o'clock in the morning.

The good news is that all the actors' roles have been wrapped.

The bad news is that only Liang Bingning and Yang Mi are left.

Same as Yu Yu and Su Youpeng who have already left the group, they will leave the crew today, and then wait for the finale here to return to Yanjing or choose an auspicious day to hold a finale banquet.

99% of the scenes in "The Wind" are basically over.

There are only two games left.

One scene is this, and the other scene is a scene where Zhang Hanyu sits in the car and remembers his comrades in arms.

That scene was not filmed this season, but waited until next spring when the flowers bloom.

Oh yes, there is also a cameo scene of Lang Lang playing the piano.

is also five seconds, no discrimination...

…

7 o'clock in the morning.

Xu Xin got up.

Yang Mi is still fast asleep.

Everyone finished at 2:00 yesterday, and they were all quite tired.

But he couldn't fall asleep, thinking about his "one mirror to the end", he got up quietly, and walked to the bathroom.

After tidying up his personal hygiene, he went out to have breakfast, and then went directly to the studio.

There are already people in the studio.

Several people, including Lin Li, are shining with Guangtai.

There are three kinds of light changes in today's scene, one is the normal conversation between the two sisters in the room, and the second is when Gu Xiaomeng attracts people to the bathroom, that part of the road will be shrouded in sunlight.

Sunshine should go hand in hand.

That is a metaphor that represents that she is on an absolutely correct and bright future.

And the third is the bathroom lighting.

The method used in "Secret" is still continued. The two players in the opposite play each have a warm yellow lamp and a blue and yellow lamp.

Through the dialogue and emotional contrast, the background in the camera will change with the angle, revealing the true inner emotions of the two people.

Today's scene, Li Pingdong will perform in person.

Even though Lin Li is very mature, he is still worried.

Although no one has used this kind of long lens, the shooting effect can only be said to be average.

In all honesty, if this kind of lens is used well, it is an exaggeration to say that it can really be entered in the "historical records"!

In the small space, first there will be the communication between Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng, then the camera will follow Gu Xiaomeng to install signal interference on the bugs placed in the room, and finally follow Gu Xiaomeng into the bathroom, waiting The arrival of Li Ningyu.

and the confrontation between the two sisters who "turned their faces".

Finally, I came out of the bathroom, and quickly moved the dialogue between the two parties under the camera...

Just by thinking about it, you know how much work is involved.

So, today's Li Pingdong has to eat and drink well, and he has to work hard.

After seeing Xu Xin, Lin Li and the others wanted to say hello.

But Xu Xin waved his hands, and then began to walk in the bedroom setting with his eyes squinted.

All the roadmaps are already clearly in his mind, but he still wants to find a better and more suitable route.

Just like a flower, he wandered around the house for an unknown amount of time, and finally, the rest of the crew came over one after another.

Including Wang Sicong, Jay Chou, Lin Juxin... and Jing Tian and Zhao Liying who didn't leave even after the movie ended.

Everyone really wants to see how this shot works in one shot.

It was close to 10 o'clock, and the actors finally arrived, and the makeup was finished.

At 10:05, Yang Mi and Liang Bingning started to audition.

This drama is a group drama, and Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu's roles are indistinguishable.

In this scene, both parties must have the same energy. If one person's emotions are not in place, both may fall short.

So, at this time, there is no such thing as who blows up who or what.

Yang Mi and Liang Bingning started to perform and speak in front of Xu Xin, and then followed the route over and over again.

The first pass, the route is wrong.

The second time, the route is wrong.

Third times, the route was finally found.

Then began to run around the two rooms along the route, speaking lines.

Then follow up with the camera to cooperate.

It was such a scene, from 10 am to 1 pm.

Everyone was hungry, but the filming was not completed.

It doesn't matter.

Eat and find your status again.

For this long shot, everyone has made full preparations.

When Lang Lang arrived in the afternoon, he saw the production crew chattering away. He was about to say hello to Xu Xin when he was pulled aside by Jay Chou:

"Hey, don't bother them at this time."

"...Why? Didn't I come to make a guest appearance?"

Jay Chou, who has felt the seriousness and persistence of his friend since the morning, shook his head slightly:

"This scene is very important, they have been preparing for almost a day."

"Well…"

Although he didn't know what was going on, Lang Lang still nodded:

"good."

…

"Recently, after learning that the filming of the much-anticipated "Sound of the Wind" is coming to an end, the reporter of this station rushed to the crew as soon as possible, wanting to visit the set. This film is directed by Xu Xin, a young director who has become famous this year. Combining the luxurious team of Western Film and Television Group, as well as the films of many famous actors and celebrities, let's see where this "wind" is blowing..."

In the evening, in the "Entertainment" program, the theatrical filming highlights of "The Wind" and interviews were broadcast for the first time.

After the news ended, along with the "Entertainment Broadcasting" released the interviews one after another, heated discussions on "The Wind" began on the entire Internet.

There are actually two main hot topics.

One is the interviews with the actors of the crew in "Entertainment Broadcasting".

One is Yang Mi's "self-mutilation" behavior.

Actually speaking, this kind of behavior is quite common for her, and it is not something worth mentioning to experience pain when an actor of method school plays a role.

But...Yang Mi's fans are not happy.

It is not appropriate to say that I am not happy, it is more like "mixed joy and sorrow".

Why are you so sweet to us?

You don’t feel sorry for Mimi, but we do.

What a crappy crew, what a crappy director!

We have to boycott...oh yes, boycotting will make Mimi invisible.

Then what should I do? ...Mimi worked too hard for this movie!

She is working so hard, this drama must not disappoint Mimi's hard work! If you dare to let us down, we will take our own measures to protect Mimi...

You see, sometimes fans are just that.

Their starting point is not necessarily bad, but sometimes the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom in some things.

Obviously an actor’s dedication, but in the hearts of those who like Yang Mi...whether they regard Yang Mi as a wife or daughter-in-law, her behavior is intolerable.

And who is to blame for this intolerable behavior?

Still need to ask?

Kill Xu Dog!

So...

Xu Xin let someone rush him.

Although it can't keep up with Li Yiba's wars launched under the banner of "Holy" at every turn, but facing Yang Mi's vast number of fans, some small-scale fan groups gathered just because of the Olympics and "Secret" movie fans, compared Start an army of bees...

It's really not enough to fight.

Baidu Xuxin Bar was washed to pieces...

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is mostly personal anger.

Who told you to gossip with Yang Mi?

Who told you to make my Mimi suffer?

If not at you, who will you be at?

Thus, in this sudden war, Xu Xin Bar had no power to resist. In less than two hours, the owner of the bar directly turned on the authority dog mode.

Then what…

Maybe Xu Xin doesn't even know how to fall in love with him. Friends are also talents.

You like to scold, don't you?

Okay, I will not delete the post either.

The owner only posted one post, which was a summary of screenshots of Yang Mi and Xu Xin's scandals over the years.

There are photos of the two of them at school, photos of the two of them watching a concert in Xiangjiang, photos of visiting the cast of "Sword of Heaven", and photos of the big guys eating together yesterday, etc.

From beginning to end, the two sat next to each other.

Hey, are you angry?

Post a post and stick it to the top.

The title is also particularly eye-catching: "Sanjin and Mimi's various photo collections, high-sweet summary".

At the end of the post is a screenshot of Yang Mi's interview.

The screenshot of the sentence "The best taste in the world is Qinghuan", matched with Yang Mi's sparkling eyes...

Is it beautiful?

beautiful.

Break the defense?

broken.

Not only broken, but also suffocated in a mess...

As a result, a magical post appeared in Yang Mi Bar: "To Xugou: The revenge of taking his wife is irreconcilable!" "

One hour reply breaks 1500...

Yang Mi Bar actually has a bit of frying pan, and the small bar in charge of management also contacted Sun Ting.

But Sun Ting suppressed the news.

No matter how hot it is on the Internet, no matter how many people discuss it...it doesn't have any practical significance for the situation she is facing now.

Because whether it's Brother Xu, Sister Mi, or Liang Bingning...

It's been a busy day.

But this scene is not finished yet.

Mistake, trial and error, break-in, correction...

But after all... the difficulty of molesting is still too great.

The actor's positioning, lines, and acting skills can't make any mistakes.

The cameraman's position and lens capture can't go wrong.

Even with Xu Xin during the filming, he will keep thinking about the route and optimizing various things.

This scene has been filmed for a day, but so far I still haven't come up with a satisfactory thing.

Never disturb.

dare not bother.

But now there are also two news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that with this kind of cooperation, everyone's tacit understanding has improved.

At least three or four of the guides have not been changed, indicating that the best route has been researched.

But the bad news is…

Director Li's waist couldn't take it anymore.

After standing for a whole day and resisting the camera all day, he couldn't hold on any longer.

So...

Xu Xin asked everyone to rest.

"Old Wolf, go change your clothes, turn on the daytime light, take a picture of him playing the piano and we'll call it a day. Lin Li, you can help Director Li..."

After waiting for a day, Lang Lang, who chatted with Xu Xin at dinner, nodded and went to change clothes.

Yang Mi and Liang Bingning didn't even eat dinner, and went out of the studio to rest.

Xu Xin waved at Lang Lang after taking pictures:

"I also went back to rest."

"Go, let's find a place to have a drink."

Lang Lang looked at Lao Xu with sunken eyes, and said directly and considerately without thinking about it.

Xu Xin responded, but she also didn't finish her meal. After returning to the room, she found that Yang Mi had fallen asleep.

He didn't say anything, he just leaned on the sofa outside the house and planned to continue to think about it, to see if there was anything that needed to be adjusted...

As a result, when he opened his eyes again, the sky was already dark.

A quilt was also covered on the body.

Fumbling to find the phone, he checked the time...

04:49

It's almost 5 o'clock.

Morning…

"Sister~"

"..."

No one said anything.

Xu Xin got up puzzled and walked to the bedroom, only to find that the bedroom was empty.

He dialed Yang Mi directly.

"Hello? Where are you?"

"Gym, refresh your skin. Are you awake?"

"Um."

"Go take a shower, I just sweated too, let's get something to eat and then go to the studio after getting down right away?"

"good."

Once cleaned up, the two will reconcile. When they went to the door for breakfast, the bean curd was not cooked.

Finally, they simply drank a bowl of soy milk and ate some freshly fried small twists. After that, the two of them went directly to the studio.

Going to the studio, Yang Mi left her fiancé alone.

Continue to familiarize yourself with the route set yesterday.

Xu Xin sat in front of the monitor and smoked.

There is no light replacement today, so other people did not get up very early.

Everyone knows that it is the last scene, and everyone is recharging their energy.

And just as Xu Xin finished smoking a cigarette, he suddenly heard the sound of the silent door of the studio closing.

He and Yang Mi turned their heads to look at the same time...

But found that Liang Bingning and her assistant were walking this way unexpectedly.

"Director Xu, Mimi...why are you so early?"

"Sister Bingbing is so early?"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Liang Bingning nodded:

"I fell asleep when I went back last night. I got up early today, so I wanted to come here to get acquainted..."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and said to the assistant:

"Go make coffee."

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Xu Xin:

"Then Mimi and I are going to meet each other."

"…Um."

Xu Xin responded, looked at the two people who got together again, and nodded slightly.

In fact, his impression of Liang Bingning has changed during this time.

Not to mention other aspects, but in terms of acting and professionalism, she is indeed not bad.

It’s no wonder that it’s come to this day.

But this thought just flashed through his mind, and then he fell into deep thought again.

Yang Mi and Liang Bingning continued to be in that scene.

Finally, one after another, the crew also came.

When Li Pingdong came, he still smelled of plaster when he walked.

Looking at Xu Xin, he shook his head:

"I'm getting old..."

"Why don't you let Lin Li come today?... He was almost the same as yesterday..."

"Need not."

Li Pingdong smiled and waved his hands:

"Let me do it."

People can grow old, but they cannot accept old age.

What's more...he's not old yet!

…

"The actors are in place."

Following Xu Xin's instruction, Liang Bingning automatically stood at the window, while Yang Mi picked up the cheongsam again.

"Playing the board."

"The final act, scene... 17, three, two, one... start!"

In the shaky camera, Liang Bingning looked at the window, with a rather bewildered mood, as if in a state of hangover, as if her will was blurred, she wobbled and said:

"Xiaomeng..."

The camera began to move rapidly.

moved to Yang Mi's face.

She just finished her needlework, looking at her with some doubts;

"?"

Then, Liang Bingning walked unsteadily in front of Yang Mi, and squatted down.

looked at her with a pair of godless eyes:

"You're locked! . . . both of you are locked!"

Yang Mi looked fearless:

"Wu Zhiguo is not reconciled, he keeps biting me back."

After the two of them looked at each other for two seconds, Liang Bingning seemed to become more and more confused, hooked Yang Mi's neck, and brought her face to her ear:

"I know it's not Captain Wu..."

The camera began to move quickly to Yang Mi.

Yang Mi no longer had that trace of fearlessness in her eyes.

It was all numb.

After turning around again, Liang Bingning continued:

"Don't worry, I won't expose you."

"..."

Yang Mi was silent, waiting for Liang Bingning to look at her again, she seemed to have decided on something, and said calmly:

"Try on clothes."

After speaking, she took off Liang Bingning's windbreaker and picked up the cheongsam.

The first important point comes.

Xu Xin's request was, "This dress is Li Ningyu's soul."

Clothes symbolize the dignity of Li Ningyu.

This layer of dignity was stripped away by Takeda.

That's why Li Ningyu looks so dazed today.

And when this dress was mended by Gu Xiaomeng and put on Li Ningyu's body, Li Ningyu's sanity began to return.

Her eyes should not be blank, she should show her reason.

And Liang Bingning's performance has not been very good before.

But today when I saw in the camera, Liang Bingning's hangover state suddenly began to disappear, and when the trance in her eyes was gone...

Xu Xin sat up straight subconsciously.

This state... over!

Is there a need for this?

Just as she was thinking, Yang Mi, who knelt in front of Liang Bingning and helped her arrange her skirt, began to enter the state.

Li Ningyu's difficulty is over, it's time for Gu Xiaomeng next.

Looking up.

Glancing at Li Ningyu who seemed to have calmed down, Gu Xiaomeng suddenly pointed her finger under the table.

Under Li Ningyu's suspicious eyes, she stood up and passed Li Ningyu.

And when Li Ningyu bent down and saw a bugging device, when she turned her head, Gu Xiaomeng had already walked into that bright light and shadow.

One step, two steps, look back.

In the beautiful side face, the emotion of longing for the light suddenly appeared.

Then came the hook to Li Ningyu.

You can imagine that she is asking Li Ningyu to come over.

But it can be understood that she is leading Li Ningyu to the light.

Li Ningyu escaped from the light of the devil's lair!

And the light that turns from darkness to light!

Xu Xin's hand suddenly clenched the armrest.

Then, the camera followed the two to the bathroom.

Gu Xiaomeng sat on the edge of the bathtub and took out a cigarette.

Li Ningyu closed the door.

"When did you know..."

"I just found out now!"

Li Ningyu, who has returned to reason, seems to have returned to her status as a code-breaking expert. She habitually showed a confident smile when her reason prevailed.

The trance instantly collapsed.

"I was lying to you just now!"

"..."

At this moment, Gu Xiaomeng took out a cigarette and wanted to put it in his mouth.

The moment he heard this, there was an unconscious pause.

Then, he continued to put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it...

Mood, in place!

What follows is a psychological game, and when Li Ningyu learns from Gu Xiaomeng that Liu Linzong is actually part of Gu Xiaomeng's group, just to get close to her...

That anger immediately turned into a solid slap...

To tell the truth, Yang Mi has already received a lot of slaps.

In the beginning, Liang Bingning played pretendingly.

But Yang Mi asked to "come directly".

And this slap this time... is also a real slap.

But fortunately, Liang Bingning also uses her fingers, so it looks loud, but the strength is not great.

This is not the time to worry about "why did you hit me".

The so-called "drama is bigger than the sky" is the best footnote at this time.

Everyone was focused on performing, and no one cared about whether the slap on themselves hurt or not.

The important thing is the drama...

After this slap, Li Ningyu's mood also began to change.

That anger turned into sadness.

"Liu Linzong has been using me!?"

"I'm going to report you!"…

When the various lines that helped the characters complete their mental journey ended, Xu Xin stood up excitedly.

It's just the last paragraph...

The bathroom scene is finished, so the next step is the sister scene in the living room...

The bathroom door opens.

"Where are you going?"

"Expose you!"

"Very good. If I could die by your hands...I have nothing to say."

laugh.

cry.

The moment this sentence was finished, the smile on Yang Mi's face changed from joy to sadness.

But it wasn't over yet, after turning sad, she started laughing again.

It’s funny but there’s tears inside…

This series of emotions suddenly surged in front of Xu Xin.

He was a little stunned for a moment.

Is it too bad?

No, it's great.

It was so good that he didn't react for a while.

The transition of this kind of emotion was just right, and he was stunned seeing it.

But this sluggishness didn't last long, because the two finally started the last fusion of ideas.

Gu Xiaomeng's crying was intended to insist on death.

So she was crying just to say goodbye to her "sister" Li Ningyu in the last scene.

But unfortunately, because of her crying, Li Ningyu was left behind.

So the last scene revolving around Gu Xiaomeng begging Li Ningyu to report herself appeared on camera.

And the camera shakes a little more than before.

It should be that Li Pingdong has a slight muscle ache or some physical exhaustion.

But Xu Xin didn't stop.

because…

Just a little bit.

Just a little bit!

The current roles of the two are completely in line with his expectations. I don't know when it will start. Yang Mi is Gu Xiaomeng, and Liang Bingning is Li Ningyu.

The two roles have overlapped, but there is still a little unnaturalness.

And the last trace of unnaturalness must be reflected in this scene.

As long as it is reflected, the two characters will be completely integrated...

"Xiaomeng, can information be more important than life?! Ah!? Can it be more important than your life!?"

"I don't want anything, I want you to live!"

"Xiaomeng! I want you to live!"

…

"Sister Yu... It's the first time I see you in real face, I want to chat with you for a few nights, and tell you what's on my mind..."

"But it's too late!"

"I provided the false information, and I must pass it on!"

Two kinds of insistence, shifting back and forth between the hugging, comforting, and begging of the two women.

Cry, laugh, laugh and cry, cry and laugh...

Happy, sad, farewell, reluctant...

At this moment, right in front of the camera.

The two people performed the tragedy of the two characters and the scene where fate is like a sneer, to the fullest.

In the end, only Gu Xiaomeng was left holding the burnt cigarette.

Facing my dearest sister with a smile...

"Please, report me to them."

Crying, she said with a smile.

There is no farewell or reluctance.

In an instant, when this smile clung to her face, she seemed to have returned to the little sister who was circling around Li Ningyu when she first appeared on the stage.

Using the simplest smiling face, he made a willful request to his sister that felt like a knife cut his heart:

"Please, report me."

"Snapped!"

far away.

Xu Xin, who was standing and staring at the camera, punched the palm of the other hand.

Oh shit!

This play...

Got it!

…

The gate of Xiying Studio.

"Oh, it's here? Xiying Studio..."

Xu Daqiang took a look at the wide front door, and patted Li Hao's car seat:
