song for the city

Wang Shiqi tiptoed into the dressing room, and saw Fu Yan's assistant was rushing out with an iced drink in one hand and a small fan in the other.

The weather is hot in July, and the temperature on the mountain climbs layer by layer, reaching the peak in the past few days. The heat transmitted by the sun is like a joke.Fu Yan's assistant was called Xiao Zhou. At that time, Xiao Zhou's face was covered with sweat, and he was falling down one by one. He had to hold things dutifully, panting and frowning, and hurried on his feet.

Perhaps the palms were sweating too much, and the fan in Xiao Zhou's hand almost fell to the ground. Wang Shiqi quickly caught it, smiled and raised his head, and called out in style: "Xiao Zhou."

Xiao Zhou felt something was wrong, held the fan steady, and asked tremblingly, "Brother Shiqi, what's the matter? I have to hurry up and deliver drinks to Brother Fu."

Wang Shiqi enthusiastically took the drink from Xiao Zhou's hand, and put his hand on his shoulder. After a few seconds, he might feel overheated, so he put it down again: "Thank you for your hard work, but Director Liang asked me to ask you to take care of me. Fu Yan's passport can't leave until the photos are taken."

It seems to be a good discussion, but it is actually a threat.

Xiao Zhou rolled his eyes in his heart, but there was a considerate smile on his face: "That's for sure, Brother Fu is very dedicated, he won't mind taking a few more shots, and he will definitely finish filming smoothly before leaving. "

After finishing the words, he silently added in his heart: Even though this scene has been filmed fifty times, it still hasn't happened, so he has to bask in the sun, and has to serve tea and water, busy before and after.

Xiao Zhou scolded Liang Zhang in his heart, and his expression was a little tense.

Wang Shiqi sighed sympathetically: "Director Liang is also satisfied with the final effect. After all, this is an award-winning film. You must take it seriously. It will be good for you Fu Yan to win the award."

"Yes, yes." Xiao Zhou nodded.

It was even hotter after leaving the dressing room. The heat wave rushed in and almost hit Xiao Zhou on his knees. He took a deep breath and came to Fu Yan with an umbrella. He was touching up his makeup under the shade of a tree, wearing a thick costume .

The ice cubes in the drink were knocked indiscriminately, Fu Yan drank a few sips, his voice finally calmed down, and he had the strength to curse, and he uttered "chapters" and uttered a few foul words.

Xiao Zhou shook his hand holding the umbrella and looked at Fu Yan in shock.

Fu Yan is a well-bred person with an easy-going personality and no airs. He usually doesn't lose his temper, let alone swearing.

So Xiao Zhou turned his head to look at the culprit who made Fu Yan, who was well-educated, swear in anger.

Director Liang is 26 years old this year, a genius in the film industry. He made his first low-budget film when he was 20 years old. I heard that he borrowed money from everywhere to finish the filming. , As a result, he won several high-value awards at home and abroad, becoming a dark horse in niche movies, and Director Liang also became a dark horse.

Liang Zhang was sitting on the cool chair and listening to music on MP3, Xiao Zhou was puzzled that it was this age, and there were still people who would use such old things.He wears sunglasses, and his leisurely appearance is incompatible with the busy set, as if he is just an insignificant person on the set.

Xiao Zhou suddenly wondered what kind of songs the weird Liang Zhang would listen to.

The first time I saw Liang Zhang, Xiao Zhou thought he was an actor in a movie, and wondered which newcomer he was, and why I hadn't seen him before.He is really good-looking, with thick facial features, eye-catching, and dark skin. There is a shortage of handsome guys with dark skin in the film and television industry.Xiao Zhou met many good-looking stars with Fu Yan, and Liang Zhang would not be inferior. It wasn't until Liang Zhang sat on the director's chair and yelled at people with a loudspeaker that Xiao Zhou suddenly realized: he is the director.

It stands to reason that young directors are not difficult to deal with, but Liang Zhang is not an ordinary young director. He has unique ideas and has high requirements for actors. Although it is a bit too high, a scene can be shot fifty times, and the shooting cycle is extended. , the on-site staff probably scolded him in their hearts, so Xiao Zhou's cursing words in his heart became more and more arrogant.

In the MP3, Freddy sang the last note, Liang Zhang pressed the pause button, and raised the horn to call for work to start. He saw Fu Yan tense up from a distance, swallowed his last sip of water, and looked at Liang Zhang wearily.Liang Zhang smiled at Fu Yan full of guilt, meaning to let him persevere, and it's time to call it a day after filming this scene.

Liang Zhang knew that many people scolded him in their hearts. After filming a scene so many times, it was still summer, and people were almost dry. He was more afraid of heat than anyone else, and he was still stiff.But the effect of Fu Yan's filming of this scene was not very good, and Liang Zhang was always dissatisfied. He hoped that the effect of the work would be the best.

Fu Yan was born in a professional class, and he used to act in plays by famous directors. His acting skills are not good, but maybe because of this, the performance traces are occasionally a bit heavy. Liang Zhang doesn't like it. Still looking for newcomers.

A newcomer actor is a blank slate, and the painting depends entirely on the director's mood.

After the scene was over, Liang Zhang sat in front of the monitor with his fingernails on his teeth.

He is also nervous, the heroine's face is already tired, this time there is no way to continue, the state of the actors is still very important.

Fortunately, Fu Yan played naturally this time, and his emotions in the scene with the heroine were much more delicate, perhaps because the emotions were revealed after the anger.Do you have to do it a few more times in the future?Liang Zhang thought while rubbing his chin.

The word "guo" in Liang Zhang's mouth was like an amnesty. The actors and staff were relieved. The outdoor scenes were over, and there were only a few simple indoor scenes. After that, they could finally wrap up and escape from Liang Zhang's hands.

The sun was gradually setting, and it was almost dusk when the work was over. Liang Zhanghuang was slow to clean up. There were not many people left on the set, and it became deserted in an instant.As the director's assistant, Wang Shiqi had to follow. He often felt that Liang Zhang was procrastinating.

Wang Shiqi took a bottle of water and handed it to Liang Zhang: "Director Liang, are you going back to the hotel?"

The last bit of orange light shone on Liang Zhang's face, and there was a special smell, which was exclusive to the setting sun. If it didn't burn people, it would dazzle the eyes. Liang Zhang squinted his eyes, regretting not wearing sunglasses, and said, "What about the investors at night?" There is a dinner nearby," he thought for a while, "let's go back to the hotel first, I'll take a shower."

The mountain road was winding and winding, and the car turned countless times. Liang Zhang was already uncomfortable in the heat in the afternoon, and it was even more uncomfortable to be bumped.The road was not easy to walk, and the dream also turned upside down. After a while, he dreamed that he was really walking on the mountain. When Liang Zhang woke up, he didn't know if he fell asleep just now.

He stared out the window, seeing his face reflected in the glass.

The bangs are a bit long, and I don’t have time to take care of them in the group. I have a green beard on my chin, thick dark circles under my eyes, and I look very thin. There is almost no excess flesh on my cheeks, and my jawline is clear and clear.

It is indeed the 26-year-old Liang Zhang, who has lost his bald head and baby fat, not only wears standard sports suits, but his eyes are no longer reckless.Years of stumbling, forcibly grinding away Liang Zhang's edges and corners.

He no longer explored the scenery behind the barrier in the dream, and realized that he had really dreamed just now, and it was still a very distant dream, a distance that could no longer be measured in length.

Liang Zhang leaned back in the car seat, trying to fall asleep again, but couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

After Liang Zhang took a shower, he took a taxi to the place where he had dinner at night. After taking a shower, he recovered a lot. When he arrived at the place, the producers were all there, and he was alone.

Even though it was impolite to let Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li wait for him alone at the table, Liang Zhang couldn't say he was really guilty.The outside world said he was a genius, but he was still somewhat proud.

However, he still apologized again and again, and his attitude was not low. Liang Zhang said that he was late this afternoon.As soon as the food came up, I didn't take a bite, and I drank a few glasses of white water as a punishment for being late.After getting drunk, the investor praised Liang Zhang's talent as usual, and talked about the film he won.

When the film was finished, Liang Zhang just played around and submitted the film to foreign film festivals. Unexpectedly, he won the award, and it was an internationally recognized award. Winning an award abroad not only means personal honor, but also represents the honor of the country. , At that time, Liang Zhang had not yet graduated from University.Later, many films came to Liang Zhang, and some people were willing to invest in him. The road ahead went smoothly, and he is now known as the most promising young director in China.

But Liang Zhang didn't want to mention that movie.

The leading actor in the movie is a rock singer with long hair, and Liang Zhang has to admit his purpose for filming it.After the film was cut, it was handed over to Liang Zhang. He watched it alone in the rented room outside the school. He was poor and destitute at the time to make the film, and he didn’t want to ask his family for money all the time. Here, watching the hero in the movie play the guitar and sing on the bar counter.Tears dripped drop by drop into the instant noodle soup, splashing red water, Liang Zhang realized his dream and promise, but there was one less witness.

That night Liang Zhang saw his eyes hurting and aching, and it was the last time he could remember crying for him.

No matter how powerful a director is, he still lacks confidence in front of investors. Money is the driving force of a movie.

Halfway through the meal, the investor brought up the filming cycle and expressed his dissatisfaction euphemistically, saying that Liang Zhang was too careful and conscientious in making the film, and the time was much longer than expected, which of course meant that he spent a lot more money.

Liang Zhang sighed inwardly, knowing that sooner or later he would have to face the investor's questioning, and it couldn't be said to be an actor's problem.He had no choice but to apologize again with a smile, saying that the film will be finished soon, and he will definitely not delay any longer, and deliver the film on time.But this film has to go to the awards first, and then it will be released.

An apology is useless, the second half of the meal is full of dishes, and Liang Zhang has nothing to do with him. He pours red and white food into his stomach, and when the meal is over, Liang Zhang vomits in the restaurant toilet alone. .

The unpleasant aroma of the toilet smelled like cheap lemons, which made it easier for him to vomit.After spitting, with saliva hanging from his mouth and tears hanging from his eyes, Liang Zhang washed his face several times with water in his hands, and finally woke up.

After vomiting, the drunkenness had subsided a lot. He stood outside the hotel gate waiting for the bus, his face was a little hot after the cold water passed.The lights on the side of the road were extremely dazzling, and tall buildings in the distance rushed straight into the clouds one by one, trying to reach the Milky Way.

People who drink too much tend to feel emotional. He thought that when he was in high school in [-], how could there be so many high-rise buildings, at least not all the streets.Of course, he didn't know how to drink alcohol for a few years, and he could only drink juice every night.

Every night, every night, Liang Zhang chanted it several times.

There are more bars than before, and there are also nightclubs. I heard that they are very popular among young people, but Liang Zhang is not interested.

The Chinese stick that the producer gave him just now was still in Liang Zhang's hand. He put it in his mouth and tasted the faint smell of tobacco, which was very addictive.

When he wanted to light it, he found that he didn't bring a lighter with him. Liang Zhang smiled, thinking that God wanted him to carry out the smoking cessation plan.

Liang Zhang didn't go back to the hotel right away, he bought a few skewers of barbecue on the side of the road, he was not full at the dinner table just now, and his stomach was empty.

He went to a community in the city and took the elevator up to the seventh floor.

As soon as he rang the doorbell, there were footsteps inside. Liang Zhang felt at ease, leaning on the tiles and waiting quietly, feeling that his head was empty and nothing was loaded.

After a while, the door opened, someone approached, and her nose moved.

Liang Zhang stood up straight, showed the skewers in his hand to the person in front of him, and said coquettishly: "Sister Na, I forgot to buy drinks, do you have any at home?" He pouted, "I drank a lot tonight liquor."

After finishing speaking, Liang Zhang rubbed his stomach and walked towards the house.
