Daily life of outdated stars

"Don't say such things casually," Xu Jia suppressed the hand that was about to withdraw, and touched Bai Lu's neck, like a kind of gentle comfort, "Let's fall in love and be happy, it's not that much trouble .”

"If it's just love, then you can just want to be happy." Bai Lu let go of Xu Jia's hand, but his face was flushed abnormally, "But I also want your wish to come true."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Bailu liked the gift Xu Jia gave him very much. For several days, the villa played the song on the Blu-ray in a loop. Everything went well with the crew, but the director went out to talk to Xu Jia, mainly to ask Issues related to review.

Generally, star dramas are filmed, and it is old calendar to wait for the review and revision by the relevant departments. Experienced crews will "try to figure out what they want" and avoid risks starting from the script. When filming, there will also be temporary deletions of plots. Condition.

The drama "Rosemary" started as an online drama, and then invited a well-known screenwriter team. The "internal audit" did not start in the script, and the director was filming the drama. When important plots needed to be filmed At that time, it was difficult.

According to his experience, it is better not to shoot some scenes, because they will not pass the trial if they are filmed, and they will waste the money of investors and actors. Taste drama.

So I found Xu Jia in private, hoping that the other party could have a chat with the people behind him, and see if he could find a way to accommodate one or two things. If it is not convenient to accommodate, he would also ask about the recent key censorship routines, so that the crew can avoid risks and make timely adjustments. Shoot the script.

Xu Jia didn't ask too much, he asked carefully to understand the director's needs, and asked for a summary summary table of the "dangerous" plot compiled by the crew based on past experience, and gave a reply of "I'll go back and ask".

Xu Jia told Assistant Zhang about the incident, and three minutes after he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Jia put down the script, opened the door, and saw Bailu wearing only a nightgown.

"Why so fast, didn't you say you want a massage?"

"Talk to Assistant Zhang about anything, why don't you talk to me."

The neckline of Bailu's nightgown was wide open, Xu Jia just wanted to look away, but after thinking about it, this is his boyfriend, so he just looked at it openly.

"You've been too busy recently, so it's not a big deal. I'll communicate with Assistant Zhang and help if I can. If I can't, forget it."

"Your matter, nothing is too small."

"You don't need to do it yourself."

"So I asked Assistant Zhang to do it, but I am your first person in charge, and you should talk to me first about all your needs."

Xu Jia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she responded eloquently: "You bought me out?"

"Just waiting for you to make an offer."

"Any price is fine?"

"It will be all right."

Xu Jia couldn't help laughing and complaining: "What kind of plot is this domineering president."

"So if you don't sell it, I can't buy it?"

"You don't need to buy it, I'm already by your side."

That's not enough.

Bai Lu thought so in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, he stuffed himself into Xu Jia's arms again, like a tired bird finally found his home.

Assistant Zhang moved very quickly.

A clear message was given the next day—there was no revision to the script, and the higher-ups were looking forward to the play.

Xu Jia took this sentence a little bit, and told the director, "There is no need to make major changes, and the future adjustments will not be too big."Even so, the director was ecstatic, and held a meeting with the staff overnight to re-polish the script and the way of serving the key plots.

The director's requirements for each scene skyrocketed, and Xu Jia also had the first NG about him since joining the group.

"Ka—no, it doesn't feel right."

Xu Jia took the towel from the assistant, wiped off his sweat, and asked the director, "What's wrong?"

"Your acting skills are alright." The director stared at the screen and watched it again upside down. "It's just that the handling of this part is too ingenious. I can guess the next expression and action when I see you acting like this."

"Understood, I'll try again." Xu Jia took a sip, waited for the props to be adjusted, and stepped into the camera again.

"Ka——I'm too emotional, I have to keep it down."

"Card--"

"Card--"

"Card--"

Xu Jia was stuck five or six times in a row, and the towel used to wipe off his sweat was replaced by another one.

Sitting on the ponytail, the director couldn't help smoking a cigarette, and said, "Actually, it works, and it can be used, but I still don't feel good."

"If it's not good enough, do it again."

Just as the director was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that the assistant director was standing behind Xu Jia and winking at him, and turned around when he reached the point of his mouth: "Why don't you come back tomorrow, everyone may not be in a good state today."

Xu Jia wanted to continue, but she also had to take into account the physical strength of the other staff members. There were too many NGs today. Maybe I can figure it out a few more times in the evening, so that I can film in a better state tomorrow.

"Okay, let's continue tomorrow."

Xu Jia changed into his own clothes, feeling a little depressed after a long absence. He hadn't had NG for a long time, so he had a kind of blind self-confidence——thinking that his acting skills were enough for most scenes.

But the NG I ate today, on the one hand, proves that my acting skills are still lacking, and on the other hand, it also proves that he did not do very well in many previous scenes. He passed smoothly, probably because the director did not Set the bar high.

But the depressed mood didn't help much, Xu Jia has always had a character of getting more and more courageous as he gets frustrated.He directly opened his notebook, followed by the previous biography to reorganize the emotions of the characters, and he was busy all the way without knowing it.

When I got out of the car, the characters were still in my mind, and when I saw Bai Lu, I said directly: "You have gangster spirit in you."

Bailu was stunned, and replied, "Where did you see that?"

Xu Jia clenched her hands and regained consciousness a bit: "I've thought about character setting all the way, but I haven't played yet."

"The filming didn't go well today?" Bai Lu immediately guessed the reason.

"Well, I haven't fully understood this role yet, and the emotions I express are not in place."

"Need help? Can I arrange for a teacher to come and stroke with you?"

"No need for now, let's have a meal first, and then I'll go to that dark room and think about it for a few hours, so don't wait for me to sleep together at night."

"Okay, follow your arrangement."

Xu Jia was still a little distracted while eating, but he ate quickly, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and went to the darkroom with his notebook.

The dark room is an independent space of only [-] square meters. There is a single bed, a table and a chair in it. Xu Jia had someone move it in before.

When Xu Jia first discovered this room, he asked Bailu what it was used for. Bailu said that it was originally used to store valuables, but it was left empty afterward.

Xu Jia once looked for inspiration, went around the whole villa, and finally chose this room. Since then, this place has become Xu Jia's palace of inspiration.

Xu Jia entered the room, closed the door, and turned off the lights—his world lost all sound and light.

He found the single bed based on his memory, lay down on the bed, bent his knees and crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, and began to take a deep breath.

He virtualized a stack of thick documents in his brain, the top one is the name of the script - "Rosemary".

The paper flew up in an instant, circling several times in the air, and changed from one piece of paper to several pieces of paper.

Xu Jia's consciousness also "flyed", his field of vision became 360 ​​degrees, and he could clearly see the words on each piece of paper.

"Lin Yang, male, 22 years old..."

The information belonging to Lin Yang kept emerging, reorganizing, and breaking up in Xu Jia's brain. Xu Jia's fingers tapped the bed sheet lightly, and whispered the lines in the play.

"You have gangster spirit on you."

"What about me? I just came here, and Brother Wang asked me to do odd jobs first."

"I heard that the money comes in quickly, so I'll give it a try."

"I don't want to kill people, so, can I not go tonight?"

"I wish I was an undercover agent, then at least I have five social insurances and one housing fund, you're right."
