Recalcitrant

The original hard-won half-day vacation was filled with one meeting after another because of Lu Shaoheng's arrival.Before all the meetings started, a director of the photography team somehow offended the director, packed up his things and left the crew early.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chen Zhuo, Lu Shaoheng and a group of creators sat around a large square table in the temporary conference room, waiting for Wang Wenyu to come over.

Today, the main creators are going to watch the first version of the sample film edited by the group. Although Wang Wenyu did not become the director, he gladly accepted Lu Shaoheng's invitation to come over to serve as the producer. He has been on the set recently.

Lu Shaoheng sat on a chair, resting his forehead with one hand, looking drowsy.He thanked the guests early last night for a rest, and when he showed up early this morning, he looked listless again, not knowing where he had been fooling around at night.

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhuo glanced at Lu Shaoheng's face, gathered a large stack of documents in front of him, and asked casually, "Isn't it a habit?"

"Don't look at the temple or the grassland when you go out here." Lu Shaoheng looked at Chen Zhuo, yawned, and said, "The nightlife is quite rich, those girls and boys, tsk..." He paused, and a question came out of his mouth. Adjective: "hot."

"Isn't it?" Chen Zhuo smiled when he heard the words: "Mr. Lu is here for the first time. The altitude here is higher, so pay more attention to your body."

While Chen Zhuo and Lu Shaoheng were talking, Wang Wenyu opened the door and walked in, greeting everyone enthusiastically.

The two stopped chatting and immediately got to the point.

This time, Wang Wenyu was on the sidelines throughout the shooting, and he knew the quality of the work well.During the playback of the sample, Wang Wenyu nodded frequently. As far as the current effect is concerned, he himself is quite satisfied.

There are many people in the team who are good at flattering people. Seeing Wang Wenyu's attitude, they have already said some beautiful compliments to Chen Yao in advance.

Only Lu Shaoheng stared at the screen, pondering to himself, with a serious expression.

Someone on the side jokingly said, "Look at us, Boss Lu is fascinated by watching it."

Only then did Lu Shaoheng open his golden mouth, and simply threw out two words: "No."

"What's the matter?" This time even Wang Wenyu was a little surprised. The samples must be just to see the general effect, but it is not enough for this evaluation.

Lu Shaoheng looked away from the screen, and said something fake and almost looking for trouble: "It's not perfect."

Hearing what Lu Shaoheng said, Jiang Xiaobo finally exploded, and the emotions accumulated during this period of time could no longer be suppressed: "Mr. Lu, don't go too far!"

The more Jiang Xiaobo said, the more he felt his forehead blaze: "Before, you were the one who forced Director Chen to accept this movie by coercion, and now you are starting to criticize again."

"This is a sample. Is there a perfect sample? Since you are so dissatisfied, why do you have to hire him?" Jiang Xiaobo didn't have too many scruples on this impulse, and he burst out his thoughts in public, like opening a gate to release a flood .

"You can insist on shooting like this, and I can also clearly say that I am not satisfied." In contrast, Lu Shaoheng's mood was very stable, and he was not angry because of Jiang Xiaobo's words.He glanced at Chen Zhuo who had been silent since just now, and didn't show mercy to him: "Mediocre, rough, conservative, and I guess, Director Chen himself may not be satisfied, right?"

Jiang Xiaobo has always defended his shortcomings, and was about to continue his theory immediately, but was stopped by Chen Zhuo's eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Wang Wenyu quickly made up with each other in embarrassment: "Everyone, don't get excited. It's normal to have different artistic views. Take it easy, take it easy."

The main creators who were forced to watch the drama just now also responded one after another: "That's right, come and sit down first, if you have any ideas, let's talk slowly."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion." Several young and beautiful girls and boys passed by outside the window, Lu Shaoheng followed them with his eyes, his mind was already drifting away, and he had no intention of talking slowly.

He stood up and picked up his coat: "It's up to you whether you want to accept it or not. You can continue with the meeting. I still have something to do. Let's go first."

After speaking, he left the lounge without waiting for everyone's reaction.

Although everyone has their own criteria for judging art, they also hope to be affirmed by others.So the samples in the morning failed to satisfy the boss, and the main creators were a little depressed.

But until this issue is resolved, filming will continue.

Today's focus is on a rain scene. Chen Zhuo is not a director like Zhang Guoqiang. It is impossible to really wait for the rain to shoot a rain scene.At noon, the crew on the set had already used a crane to lift the special ceiling that simulated rain into the air, ready for a downpour at any time.

What happened in the break room in the morning has already been spread in the group, as if to echo the atmosphere created by the props group, everyone in the crew silently focused on the work in hand, and the atmosphere was extremely dull .

This kind of low pressure on the eve of the heavy rain may only be completely broken when the rain actually falls.

"Let me tell you, don't take his words to heart, there's no need to be angry with him."

Jiang Xiaobo was afraid that the slight creative enthusiasm that Chen Yao had finally rekindled would be extinguished by Lu Shaoheng's broken mouth.He ignored his work, moved a small bench, and sat beside Chen Yao: "I think what he meant today was to find fault on purpose. Have you recruited his people again these days?"

"Who said I'm angry." Chen Zhuo said lightly, if there was anything between them, it was that when Yang Xinyi was in his room last night, she was bumped into by Lu Shaoheng.But Chen Zhuo knew Lu Shaoheng well, so he wouldn't be so self-indulgent and treat his trouble today as jealousy.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiaobo was fooled by Chen Zhuo, followed his words, and asked, "Then why are you making such a face?"

Chen Zhuo asked back: "Is there?"

"It's still pretending." Jiang Xiaobo looked at the busy staff in the field, and complained to Chen Zhuo: "Look at the atmosphere of the scene, if you don't know, you think the crew will be disbanded tomorrow."

Chen Zhuo laughed, ignored Jiang Xiaobo, took off his earphones, got up and walked towards Yang Xinyi in the crowd.

Yang Xinyi was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, reviewing the lines in her mouth. Today she is the protagonist of this rain scene, and the filming is of a Tibetan girl she plays, chasing a lamb down the hillside in the heavy rain, while running You have to cry, and you have to read a lot of lines while crying.

The difficulty of this scene is not small, and Yang Xinyi understands that whether her character can stand up in the end depends on the performance of this scene.

"How is it?" Chen Zhuo walked to her side and asked.

When Yang Xinyi saw Chen Zhuo coming, she was startled at first, but after what happened yesterday, although she was a little embarrassed, she no longer had the previous fear of Chen Zhuo.

She spread the script in front of Chen Yao, and said truthfully: "There are some psychological turning points of the characters, I haven't figured it out yet."

Chen Yao glanced at the parts marked on her script, and said, "Don't worry about these, I'll tell you what you need to do when the filming starts later."

For different actors, Chen Yao has different guidance methods. For a newcomer like Yang Xinyi, analyzing the psychological activities and motivations of too many characters with her will make her at a loss and not help much.

At this time, it is better to tell her directly, where to put your hands, where to look, and when to shed tears.

Chen Zhuo was showing Yang Xinyi the posture of falling for a while, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Shaoheng wandering out from behind a fence, accompanied by two beautiful local girls.

Chen Zhuo pulled his attention back and continued to tell Yang Xinyi about the play, but in the process, he always felt that there was a gaze hanging on him indifferently.

Today, Yang Xinyi's condition is much better than before. She is nervous, but she is not sluggish and has a little confidence.After everything was ready, Chen Yao patted the little girl on the shoulder to express her encouragement, and started the first rehearsal.

However, at this moment, the scene suddenly changed!Due to the negligence of the field workers, the edge of the rainfall device suspended in the air became loose.As soon as the device was turned on, a component fell off from the top and fell straight down to Chen Zhuo and Yang Xinyi.

There was a muffled "bang", and before the screams got stuck in the throats of everyone, the two figures were knocked down to the ground and did not move for a long time.

Bright red blood seeped out from the clothes, slowly spread, dyed the green grass red, and finally seeped into the mud.

"Director Chen." Yang Xinyi's eyes widened, her hands trembling uncontrollably.She struggled to get up, took a step forward, and looked at Lu Shaoheng, who was just a short distance away, with tears rolling down her face: "Boss Lu... how are you all..."

The ones who fell not far from her were Lu Shaoheng and Chen Zhuo.Yang Xinyi was not injured. At a critical moment, Chen Yao pushed her out.

"Hiss—" Lu Shaoheng heard the girl's voice and reacted first.He moved his shoulders, propped up his upper body with difficulty, immediately lowered his head to look at the person under his protection, and asked in a low voice, "Chen Zhuo, are you alright?"

After saying this, Lu Shaoheng dropped his head and threw himself into Chen Zhuo's arms.

It turned out that Lu Shaoheng was aware of the danger one step ahead of everyone else. At the last moment when the component fell, he suddenly rushed out and threw Chen Yao aside, but he was injured.

The blood that spread to the palm scalded Chen Zhuo into shivering.He hugged the person on top of him, and wanted to ask Lu Shaoheng how he was, if he was injured, and where he was injured.

But his vocal cords seemed to be scratched by sandpaper, and he couldn't make a sound no matter what.His memory was shattered, and Chen Yao wondered if he had fallen into a vicious cycle, otherwise how could all this give him a sense of familiarity recurring from the past.

All the pictures became extremely slow before his eyes, and there was only a humming echo in Chen Zhuo's ears.He wanted to grab Lu Shaoheng's hand, but countless people rushed towards them and separated the two in a hurry.

In the midst of the chaos, he saw Lu Shaoheng covered in blood and being carried onto a stretcher.
