I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

   "This... what shall we write?"

   "Are you sure it was written?"

   "Didn't you see that other people are also writing?"

   "This...should be writing some words of blessing to the crew?"

   "No, Director Xu said let us write what we want... I have already finished writing."

   "What did you write?"

   "I hope that Teacher Yu (obediently) will not trouble me, and I will be admitted to the doctorate smoothly."

   "Fuck, you are such a chicken thief!"

  Regarding the novel opening ceremony of "Guaiguai", these people wrote their wishes one after another after reacting, and then followed the crowd to the altar.

  There are also many kind-hearted people in the crew. After seeing a few people, someone still did not forget to say:

   "You draw a circle and put it on the side. The top layer is put by the director. Don't overwhelm it."

  Hearing this, several people nodded quickly, came to the front and back of the altar, carefully put away their guaguai, and at the same time saw the contents recorded on the topmost bag of guaguai:

   "The filming of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" (obediently) was successfully completed—Xu Xin."

  An unpretentious wish.

  But in this stack of trays like hills, it stands on the apex that everyone can see.

  A kind of directing weight, suddenly transformed into an upward motivation in the heart.

  After arranging their darlings, when they turned around and walked back, their eyes fell on Xu Xin who was standing side by side with Zhang Yimou...

   That is the absolute will to lead.

   Absolute authority.

   belongs to the authority of the "director".

so good…

  I don’t know how many people have an idea in their minds:

   "One day, I will also stand in this position!"

  …

   Burning incense and offering sacrifices, praying to heaven.

   Bow and offer incense, and uncover the red cloth.

   "Good luck booting!"

  Pray to the heavens with the book frame of the city **** who rules the world, and bless the crew of "The Hawthorn Tree" all the best.

  After uncovering the red cloth and shouting out the blessing, the crew began to get busy quickly.

  The first scene today is the scene where Jing Qiu and the third child first meet at the captain’s house.

  After the opening ceremony, the crew began to prepare for a series of scenes from the captain's house, Jingqiu's entry, to meeting the third child.

  At this moment, Liu Yifei was wearing a blue khaki overalls and sitting beside her with liberation shoes on.

  The weather in early April was neither too cold nor too hot, and the fuchsia down jacket that Wu Qiqi brought her was put on her lap, holding the script in her hand in a daze.

  Xu Xin didn't come over to ask her how her preparations were going.

   No need to ask.

  Thaksin believes that the other party can contribute the performance he wants.

   Today's sunshine is very strong, but the morning light is warm and warm but a bit dazzling.

  He and Wang Lei stood in front of the camera, and nodded in satisfaction after seeing that they could still feel the texture of sunlight after the gray-white filter was added.

   Then he casually said:

   "Zhang... Tianai, go find Guang."

  Zhang Jiao was taken aback...

  But he reacted immediately, took off his coat, and came to the yard.

   She is very familiar with this job.

  And under this kind of natural light conditions, finding light doesn’t have to be as slow as when shooting “Golden Armor”.

  The most important thing about "Golden Armor" is that it is very troublesome to find because of the reflection of the surrounding glass.

  Switching back and forth between close-ups, looking for fixed positions and light sources.

   Zhang Yimou looked at Liu Yifei.

   When he saw it, he frowned.

this…

  Her makeup is very light.

   It can even be said to be thin and only one layer.

  It is necessary to prevent shadows on the face due to different skin textures and angles.

   There is nothing else.

   It is not too much to say that it is pure makeup.

  He came interested.

  This kid...he just played so fancy?

   This makeup should have been set before, right?

  Let Liu Yifei use plain makeup to look on camera?

  He came interested.

  After Zhang Jiao finished looking for the light, he had already moved to a few monitors in the corner.

   Liu Yifei could not be seen on the monitor.

   But he is in no hurry.

   After waiting for a while, Zhang Mo's voice came from the speaker:

  "All departments have started to withdraw from the scene and prepare for filming."

  So, everyone quickly withdrew from the shooting scene.

  Captain Zhang and Liu Yifei, played by old people's artist Li Xuejian, stood at the door of the house at the same time.

   "Mr. Li, please give me your advice."

  Hearing what Liu Yifei said, Li Xuejian nodded with a smile.

  Aside from acting skills.

   This girl's background is really good.

   Clean.

  Adding clothes and a "plain" appearance immediately reminded him of those good years he experienced back then.

   Well, that's pretty good.

   And Xu Xin also returned to the monitor.

  Looking at the old man who took the initiative to sit next to him, he froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled:

"Ha ha."

   "What are you laughing at?"

   "Just thinking about it... You seem to be sitting in my seat. But thinking about it carefully... Oh, I'm the director in this play... I think it's weird."

  Hearing this, Zhang Yimou was also happy.

yes.

  The little guy who came into his sight because of some draft paper...

   also really grew up.

  Thinking of this, he picked up what Xu Xin spent six hundred and eighty to buy...Super! The magnetic water health thermos cup opened the lid, poured a cup of tea for Xu Xin with the lid that can be used as a small teacup, and said:

   "Director Xu, please drink tea."

   "..."

  Hey, the old man has a bad conscience.

   Kill me, right?

   Drink and drink.

  So he nodded:

   "Well, thank you, Producer Zhang."

   "Ha~! Brat."

  While joking, Xu Xin looked at Li Xuejian and Liu Yifei in the camera, but stopped talking.

  Until Zhang Mo’s voice came from the intercom:

   "The removal is complete, director, ready to start at any time."

   "Okay, play the board."

  Following the director’s words, Changji quickly appeared in front of the camera holding the board:

   "Act Seven, Scene One, Three, Two, One, Go!"

  Xu Xin and Zhang Yimou focused on Liu Yifei through the monitor.

  Li Xuejian carried the luggage bag and washbasin in front, and Liu Yifei followed behind. The two started to walk to Captain Zhang’s house on the slope.

  After taking three steps, Li Xuejian shouted:

   "Here we come."

  Old drama, old people's artist, no matter what the role is, he digests it just right.

   Say play farmer, play farmer.

   There is no need to watch Li Xuejian's play.

  As long as he plays the role, it means that the role is qualified for the director.

   What's more, the person was invited by the old man.

  Including Sarina who plays Captain Zhang's wife and aunt, both of them are like this.

  The acting skills are almost impeccable.

  So, Xu Xin and Zhang Yimou's focus is not on Li Xuejian, but on Liu Yifei who is slowly walking into the camera.

  I saw her leaning forward, expressing the heavyness of her luggage, stepping on her liberation shoes and following behind Li Xuejian step by step. After Li Xuejian yelled "Come on", she made a movement of arranging her clothes.

   Even a little breathless.

  Obviously, she was either weak and exhausted during this journey, or she walked a short distance.

  At this moment, Zhang Yimou seemed to realize something, but he didn't say anything.

   And just after walking up the slope, Xu Xin shouted with the walkie-talkie:

   "Crack, stop."

  The director called to stop, and the three people in the venue stopped their movements.

  Xu Xin's voice sounded through the walkie-talkie:

"Make up, make Liu Yifei's hair wet, so that it feels sweaty, as if sticking to the skin. It's okay to be messy, Yifei, retake this shot, and then wait for you to go uphill and come to the second camera position When the time comes, I want a clean smile. Do it all over again."

  Following the director's words, several makeup artists immediately stepped forward with small watering cans and began to work, but Zhang Yimou's heart was completely at ease.

  He changed his posture, with his legs crossed and his hands resting on his chin.

   Looks very relaxed.

  But he didn't say a word.

  Just a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

   Isn’t this movie an answer sheet handed in by his disciple?

  So, his purpose is to talk less and interfere less.

   Wait until you really find that the disciple can't handle it or you are sure that some details have been missed before opening your mouth.

  This scene just now is like this.

   After walking such a long distance alone, I must see Khan.

  But Liu Yifei didn't.

   This is a little short.

  The second is the position of seeing Khan.

  How to show a clean smile?

   Are the clothes wet? Or the sweat on a girl's neck?

   Or is it the beauty of sunshine and sweat?

  Each director has a different answer.

  But Xu Xin's handling method is consistent with what he thinks in his heart.

  For a clean smile, there must be the most simple and pure sweat.

  Although the movie only took one scene, you can see the whole leopard at a glance.

  This "test", from this point of view, he has understood the central theme of the article.

   More than half of them passed the test.

   As for his casting...

  Looking at the busy makeup artists in front of the camera...

  He still firmly believes that the girl he took to the Jinling production crew is the most suitable Jingqiu.

   But in this regard, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom.

  He is not a director, so he cannot decide who to choose.

  That's why I want to see more...

  What kind of bright spot does Liu Yifei have, which deserves your love.

   And what he wanted to see soon appeared in front of him.

   After doing a sweaty makeup, the two returned to the starting point again.

   It’s still three steps, and it’s still "coming". Jing Qiu, played by Liu Yifei, followed Captain Zhang, played by Li Xuejian, quickly passed the No. 1 seat, and came to the No. 2 seat.

  Captain Zhang is on the right, she is half a step behind, and she walks into the front of the No. 2 plane little by little.

   Facing the busy farm work at the 3rd seat, and hearing Captain Zhang's "Come on", Sarina, who greeted her while wiping her hands with the apron around her waist, bowed first:

   "Auntie."

   "Hey hey..."

  Sarina's enthusiastic voice came from the earphones.

  Then, in the camera, the girl who can be said to be without makeup raised her head, the smile on her face was matched with the sweat on her temples and forehead, like a clear spring in summer, blooming beautifully.

   There is enthusiasm in the shyness, and there is a shyness in the enthusiasm.

  All these emotions turned into a crescent moon at the corner of his mouth.

  In the picture, it instantly conveys a sense of vividness that makes the world under the gray and white filter suddenly rich and colorful.

  Zhang Yimou raised his eyebrows...

   Squinting and staring at this smile...

oh?

   Take a closer look.

  I don't see any fairy spirit.

   There is no urbanization.

  But...she is beautiful and a little unreal.

  Ming Mingmei is not from that era, but the temperament on her body fits so well.

   Clean and pure.

  The "fairy" seems to have quietly transformed into a natural smile that blends with mountains, rivers, plants and trees.

  After seeing this scene, not to mention Zhang Yimou, even the crowd watching behind the camera unconsciously thought of a poem:

   "Clear water produces hibiscus, which can be carved naturally."

Hello.

  Sisters.

  You are beautiful...

   What a foul!

   I used to watch it on TV and feel that God is very unfair.

  But the smile now is really a smile that can win the city.

   Unfortunately, her makeup and clothing perfectly integrated this beauty into the surrounding environment, becoming a part of them, regardless of you and me.

"Um…"

  No particularly exaggerated compliments.

  Xu Xin heard a sound of approval from the old man beside him.

   So, he laughed.

very good.

   Within a few months, Liu Yifei disappeared.

  Replaced by her own Jingqiu.

  Like the highly anticipated main dish, the moment it is served and the lid is lifted...

Perfect present!

  Then, the little girl He Xiaoyu, who was selected in the Art Troupe of the Local Children's Cultural Palace in Yuan'an, ran out of the house.

   "Huanhuan, Aunt Jing."

  The five-year-old girl playfully shouted:

   "Aunt Jing."

  This time, the shyness and shyness in that smile faded a bit, replaced by a kind of love and intimacy:

   "Hey."

  Emotions are transformed quietly.

  Xu Xin nodded vigorously while watching.

   "OK, it's over, the next game."

  Liu Yifei, who made a good start, was relieved when he heard the sound.

  Facing Xu Xin is fine.

  Beside there is Director Zhang...

  Although she has tried her best to immerse herself in the role of Jingqiu, she still has a little nervousness.

  After hearing that the scene was over, she was relieved at first, but immediately came up with an idea:

   "In the eyes of Director Zhang, am I doing well? I should... not embarrass Xu Xin, right?"

   As if Xu Xin felt her thoughts, the voice sounded from the walkie-talkie again:

   "Yifei, this one is great, the character is captured very precisely... Well, this is what Director Zhang said."

   "!"

   Liu Yifei was taken aback.

   Immediately afterwards... a gleam of joy and relief climbed up his cheeks again.

   Passed...

  Just pass it.

  In the director's tent, Zhang Yimou looked at the disciple who was talking nonsense...

   "When did I say that?"

   "Hey, actors need encouragement. What's more, it's from you."

  After Xu Xin finished speaking, he asked tentatively:

   "But she's doing pretty well, don't you think?"

  Zhang Yimou nodded slightly:

   "Well. If you only want to watch this scene, you are looking for the right person."

   "Ha~"

  Seeing that the old man still refuses to admit defeat.

  Xu Xin didn't mind either.

  He believes that his vision is absolutely correct.

  The old man is still stubborn, right?

Hey!

   Wait and see!

  …

  Magic City.

  In Cai Yinong's office.

  The secretary brought two cups of tea to Cai Yinong and Yu Zheng respectively, and went out directly.

  The door of the room was closed, Yu Zheng sniffed the teacup, and said with a smile:

   "Boss Cai's tea is not bad."

   Cai Yinong also had a smile on his face:

   "If Mr. Yu likes it, he can take some away later."

   "Haha, President Cai is too polite... What do you think of the script?"

  He chose to cut to the chase.

  Seeing this, Cai Yinong was not surprised, he also picked up the teacup and said:

   "Since Mr. Yu is so happy, then I will open the skylight and speak honestly. This story...is a low-profile version of "Scary Step by Step", right? It also incorporates some elements of idol dramas."

"Um."

  This time, Yu Zhengda generously admitted:

   "That's right. But this story, I am still very confident. The kind that no one can find fault with."

   Cai Yinong knew what he meant by "can't fault it".

   "After all, not only did I not get the copyright of "Scary Step by Step", Mr. Cai didn't either."

   "..."

  One sentence made Cai Yinong dumb for an instant.

  When the copyright of "Scary Step by Step" was competing for, the reason why the website dared to charge such a high price was actually the result of competition from multiple parties.

  Everyone is waiting and watching.

   As a result, he was cut off by an unreasonable person with money.

   And who is this person...

   "Mr. Yu knows who the copyright of "Scary Bubu" is now?"

   "Of course I know. The couple."

  When he said this, Yu Zheng also carefully observed Cai Yinong's expression.

  Unfortunately, nothing can be seen.

But that's okay:

   "What? What is Mr. Cai worried about?"

  Hearing this, Cai Yinong said flatly:

"It's not worth worrying about. The cooperation between Mimi and us has always been very good. What's more, no matter how powerful the two of them are in movies, they can't radiate to the TV drama field for the time being. Yu Zong can come to us, isn't it because of hugs? Is that an idea?"

"…Um."

  Similarly, Yu Zheng also admitted it generously.

   is indeed holding this idea.

  Since the people of Tianyu can't keep themselves, then he should set up another hill.

   It's not like you and Tianyu are the only ones in this circle.

  For so many years, the Tang people have not dealt with Hunan TV.

  No way, the "corporate cultures" on both sides are actually similar, they both want to take advantage of the benefits and praise their own artists.

Although it can't be said that fire and water are incompatible, Tangren's dramas, from the previous "Peerless Twins" and "The Female General of the Yang Family", to the "Sword of the Immortal Sword" that brought them to the first-line production company, are all revolving around Hunan TV. Walk.

  If today’s entertainment doesn’t work out, I even set up a table for me…

   Big deal, I don’t mix with Hunan Taiwan.

   Who are you scaring?

   Isn't the copyright of "Scary Step by Step" yours?

  Okay, let's see which of us is disgusting this time.

  He has also heard about Yang Mi and Tang Ren.

  An enemy of an enemy is a friend.

   Yu Zheng, who hadn't realized whether he had misjudged his opponent's energy for the time being, thought about it, and thought of Tang Ren, who was also competing with him for "Scary Step by Step".

  So I sent the script here and found Cai Yinong.

"So, what does Mr. Cai think of this script? Don't mention anything else, the current Qingchuan drama market is a big cake. The kind that hasn't been touched by anyone... whoever comes out first will get the most. sip."

  Facing Zheng’s outspokenness, Cai Yinong just asked:

   "Then Yu always thinks who is more suitable for the role of Luo Qingchuan?"

   "Haha, of course it's Shishi."

  Hearing this, Yu Zheng showed a smile on his face:

   "Luo Qingchuan and Huaying, red and blue nightshade. Isn't it very suitable?"

  He looked at the poster of "Sword and Sword III" on the office wall, his eyes moved from Xue Jian's face to Solanum nigrum and said.
