Entertaining Children

"I have one more request!" Lin Jingliang added when he saw Xiao Yao smiling happily.

"Say it!" Xiao Yao waved his hands, and at the same time prayed in his heart that Lin Jingliang would never say that he would write a song for Yang Shiyun.

Xiao Yao lied to Yang Shiyun before that he was discussing with Lin Jingliang in the study about writing a song for Yang Shiyun, which was a hint to the Lin family couple and Yang Shiyun. It was almost subconscious when Xiao Yao learned that Yang Shiyun was Lin Jingliang's niece. behavior, but after the hint was spoken, Xiao Yao regretted it a little.

It is not difficult to write songs for Yang Shiyun, but in exchange for Lin Jingliang agreeing to be an art director for Yang Shiyun by writing songs for Yang Shiyun, Xiao Yao feels that his sense of accomplishment in inviting Lin Jingliang will be greatly reduced. Just now I emphasized to Yang Shiyun that the conditions for Lin Jingliang have been negotiated, and I also hinted that I don't want to use songs as an exchange.

Yang Shiyun's performance made Xiao Yao feel very comfortable, and Xiao Yao already planned to write a song for Yang Shiyun in return. Although Xiao Yao would still give it if Lin Jingliang agreed first and then asked for it, he still hoped that it was offered by himself instead of Lin Jingliang asking for it.

"Just now in the study you said that if I agreed to be an art director, I could participate in the audition of other actors?" Lin Jingliang asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded strangely. This is what I said before, of course there is no problem.

"I am an art director, not a director! I am not interested in choosing actors, but I am very interested in choosing locations." Lin Jingliang said, "When I want to choose a location, I will go with you. When deciding on a shooting location , I hope you can consider my opinion. Of course, I agree with you that the shooting location is in a remote area in the Northwest, and I don’t want to move the shooting location to a more comfortable place.”

After agreeing to Xiao Yao, Lin Jingliang's mind naturally turned to the movie. Xiao Yao said that as long as it is related to film art, he will be in charge of the service of the crew, which means that he must be responsible for setting the scene. However, in the filming, there are not only man-made scenes, but also natural landscapes. Especially from the perspective of Xiao Yao's script, there are many outdoor scenes in the film. Now that he agreed to be the art director of this film, all the screen aesthetics of the entire film are things he needs to consider. Only when he has a good idea of ​​the scene, can he make a better art plan for the film and give full play to it.

Lin Jingliang has been to the Northwest and has a certain understanding of the environment there. Lin Jingliang, who has read the script, agrees with Xiao Yao's insistence on setting the filming location in the arid northwest plateau. After Xiao Yao chooses the shooting location, he will definitely tell him and take him to see it, but no matter how talented Xiao Yao is, he is still young after all. If he questions it after he has made a choice, it will damage his authority as a director, so it is better to participate in the scene selection and discuss the decision with him.

"No problem! When I set out to choose a scene,

Be sure to take it with you. Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately agreed.

Of course, Xiao Yao couldn't wish for such a request from Lin Jingliang!

"Then when are you going to set off to choose a scene?" Lin Jingliang asked, "I can also make some preparations in advance."

"In less than a week, I will start interviewing actors for other roles. Some of them have been agreed in advance, and I don't want to change it." Xiao Yao thought for a while, and said to Lin Jingliang, "In such a few days, maybe It’s not enough for us to go to the Northwest to find a location, so I’m going to wait until the auditions of all the main actors are completed and the actors are determined before going.”

"Then when will it be?" Lin Jingliang asked.

"It is estimated that the longest month is the longest, and the shortest is ten days!" Xiao Yao said, "You go to the scene selection with me, and you still have the right to participate in the audition of the actors. You have to design the costumes and styles of the characters, and see the actors early , it will also be helpful to your work. Of course, if you don’t want to go to the actor’s audition, I’m not too reluctant. I’ll let you know three days before I leave for the scene selection, do you think it’s okay?”

"Of course!" Lin Jingliang said with a smile, "I originally planned that if the date of location selection was too late, I would go to the northwest by myself first, help you choose a few shooting locations, and then take you to see, let you do it. Decided. But since you said so, let me go to the audition with you! Where is the audition location? Yanjing, Shencheng, or other places?"

"Welcome very much!" Xiao Yao smiled, "The audition location is in my studio, in Shencheng!"

"Okay!" Lin Jingliang nodded, and asked again, "You said that the audition will start in a few days, so do you need to go back immediately to prepare?"

"That's not necessary." Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not my job alone to make a movie! I handed over the casting to a casting company to help me with the preliminary work, and there are also people in the film and television company to do it. , they will help me arrange the audition. I just need to show up at the audition, watch the performance of the actors, and make the final decision.”

"Then do you have any plans for the next few days?" Lin Jingliang asked.

"No." Xiao Yao said, "Apart from my girlfriend, only you and He Ying are currently invited by me in the crew of this movie! After you, I don't intend to go out and invite you personally. Who is it, I plan to relax for a few days."

"Since that's the case, why don't you just spend a few days on Hong Kong Island!" Lin Jingliang said, "I'll arrange the things at hand these few days, and we'll go to Shanghai together in a few days."

"Okay!" Xiao Yao said, "I haven't been to Hong Kong Island many times, and I planned to play here for a few days!"

"Ah Yun, listen to your tone, your senior took care of you a lot in the show last year, now that he has come to Hong Kong Island, you should treat him well!" Lin Jingliang looked at Yang Shiyun and said, "I'm fine these few days If so, I will take your senior to have fun on Hong Kong Island and be a good guide for others."

"Okay!" Yang Shiyun nodded, and said to Xiao Yao, "Senior, when you come to Hong Kong Island, you have entered my territory. Tell me where and what you want to play, and I will definitely arrange it for you. good!"

"Okay, I'll trouble you then!" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.

It is easy for two young male and female celebrities to go shopping, and it is easy to attract gossip, but it is not easy for Xiao Yao to refuse the enthusiasm of Lin Jingliang and Yang Shiyun's uncle and nephew. Xiao Yao has never been afraid of scandals. He came to Hong Kong Island to invite Lin Jingliang, and Yang Shiyun is his acquaintance. It is not unreasonable to come to her place to entertain his senior, as long as Sun Tingting If there is no problem, there is nothing to avoid. If you refuse at this time, it will appear that your mind is impure.

Lin Jingliang said that Xiao Yao would stay at home for dinner. After the matter was agreed upon, Mrs. Lin went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and Yang Shiyun also followed in, saying that she wanted to let the seniors have a taste of her craft. Lin Jingliang took out a bottle of wine, and stayed in the living room with Xiao Yao to continue chatting while drinking.

For Xiao Yao, Lin Jingliang is a senior in the film industry. For Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao is a talented rising star. Xiao Yao listened to Lin Jingliang talk about some anecdotes in the film industry, and Lin Jingliang heard Xiao Yao talk about some strange knowledge and ideas, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became. It can be said that they had a very happy conversation.

It wasn't until Yang Shiyun came over to ask for dinner that the two of them went to the restaurant unsatisfied.

The meals are already on the table, just four dishes and one soup, basically home-cooked dishes. Although not grand, but it looks very warm.

"Senior, my uncle rarely keeps people at home for dinner. Just now I heard from my aunt that this is the first time you have come to my uncle's house, and it is also the first time you have met. Do you have to thank me for being able to stay for dinner?" Everyone sat down After that, Yang Shiyun proudly asked for credit.

"When I was in the study just now, your uncle invited me to eat." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I came to visit, and it's polite for your uncle to invite guests to dinner. Who knew that I would meet such a cheeky person who likes to eat dinner?" Now, your uncle can't talk back? What does it have to do with you?"

"That's not true!" Yang Shiyun said, "Hong Kong Island is not the mainland, and there is no such etiquette of staying for dinner when someone comes to visit."

"Oh, it seems that uncle, you have a good impression of me!" Xiao Yao said, "In this way, even if you didn't persuade your uncle just now, after thinking about it, your uncle should agree to my invitation and give it to me. To be an art director! Just now I wanted to thank you for coming, but now it seems that there is no need for it!"

"You~" Yang Shiyun bulged her cheeks in anger. Originally wanted to ask for credit, but Xiao Yao didn't expect Xiao Yao to wipe out her credit just now.

"There are four dishes and one soup here, one of which is made by me, can you guess which one is made by me?" Yang Shiyun pointed to the dishes on the table again.

The Lin family lived in a villa, and they also hired servants. Of course, in the Mainland it is called Auntie. But today there are guests, Mrs. Lin did not let the servants do it, but cook by herself. Four people, four dishes and one soup, is not a difficult task for Mrs. Lin who is in her thirties. Yang Shiyun came to the kitchen to help her and even made one for her.

"You can't tell it by looking at it, can you guess after you taste it?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Yes!" Yang Shiyun nodded.

Looking at Yang Shiyun's expectant expression, Xiao Yao took a bite of each dish, then pointed to one of the dishes firmly and said, "You made the pork!"

"Why?" Yang Shiyun asked in surprise.

"Because the taste is the worst!" Xiao Yao said with a look of disgust.

"What?" Yang Shiyun took a sip and said angrily, "It's obviously delicious, not worse than what my aunt made!"

Xiao Yao shrugged with a smile, obviously he guessed right.

Lin Jingliang and his wife were also amused seeing their performance.

After laughing, Lin Jingliang approached Xiao Yao and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yun's sweet and sour pork dish obviously tastes good, and she learned how to cook from A Zi, so the taste is similar, how did you guess it? "

"Shi Yun told me by herself." Xiao Yao replied in a low voice, "When I tasted these dishes, I kept paying attention to her expression. When I tried which dish, her expression was the most nervous, and which dish was made by her As for saying it tastes bad, of course it was just to tease her!"

"But I can see that her expression is almost the same," Lin Jingliang said in surprise, "Can you see the difference?"

The reason is very simple, but it is difficult to actually do it. Lin Jingliang did not believe that a young man in his early twenties could have such strong observation skills.

"I study acting." Xiao Yao said, "There is an observation exercise in our acting department courses, which is to train our observation ability. If you practice a lot, you will be able to notice it."

Relying on his little knowledge of psychology and micro-expressions, Xiao Yao uncovered a hidden drug dealer when he was an interpreter for the FBI. After being there, Xiao Yao deliberately did training in this area. But Xiao Yao didn't want to tell Lin Jingliang about these things, so he pushed them to the school curriculum.

"I've heard of observation exercises," Lin Jingliang said, "but isn't it about observing life, observing the behavior of people from all walks of life, and training such a strong ability to observe details? Now the performance teaching in the mainland is very powerful. Is it to this extent?"

"Uh~" Xiao Yao choked for a moment, and could only change his words, "The course requirements are not to this level, and not every student in the acting department can reach this level. I am a special case! I am too brainy. Being active requires a very strong degree of concentration to concentrate on one thing, and over time, I have developed such a little ability."

Looking at Lin Jingliang's expression, it seems that he wants to treat all acting students in the Mainland as monsters. Instead of this, it's better to just treat myself as a monster. Anyway, I have been called a lot of titles such as evildoer and genius.

"I heard that you can multitask and do several different things at the same time, so does one need more concentration?" Sure enough, Lin Jingliang sighed, "No wonder I heard many people in the mainland call you a monster! I don't know if this is a benefit or an annoyance to you for smart people."

"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Yang Shiyun asked curiously when she saw Lin Jingliang and Xiao Yao whispering.

"It's nothing," Xiao Yao raised his head and said, "Your uncle is fighting for you, saying that the taste of glutinous rice is obviously not bad!"

He didn't want to tell her that he guessed it by looking at his expression. This can be regarded as one of my hidden skills, if it is known to everyone, it will be a fart in the future!

"Uncle is right!" Yang Shiyun was supported, and she gained a little bit of confidence, "I remembered, you are from Yanjing, you are from the north, and you are not used to southern food and taste. This sweet and sour meat is sweet Yes, if you are not used to eating, you will feel that the taste is not good, it is not that I did not do well!"

"It's true that I'm from the north, but I've lived in Shanghai for four years!" Xiao Yao said, "Shencheng is also from the south, right? The taste is not far from your Hong Kong Island, don't they all like sweets? I said the taste of your cooking is not good, then it tastes bad! When you eat my cooking, you will know the difference!"

"You can do it too?" Yang Shiyun asked in surprise.

"Didn't you watch the group variety show? I went to their dormitory as a guest, and I cooked such a big table of dishes for them. You wouldn't think it was fake, would you?" Xiao Yao said, "I can handle meals for ten people. , and those dishes not only have northern dishes, but also southern dishes, so what’s the mere sweet and sour pork!”

"Hmph, I'm not reconciled to talking about this!" Yang Shiyun put down her chopsticks angrily, "It's fine if you cook for Xiaoliu and Zhaodi, why should Lin Yunan ask you to cook for them? I don't know I have never eaten the meal cooked by you senior!"

"They are a group now! This is arranged by the program group!" Xiao Yao blamed the program group without hesitation.

As a variety show, fans all take it for granted that the cooking is arranged by the show crew. The program team didn't specifically explain, and Xiao Yao never explained it. Of course, it was pushed to the program team's head at this time.

"Don't ask me to make it for you now!" Xiao Yao doesn't know how to make glutinous rice balls at all now, directly blocking the possibility of Yang Shiyun's opening, "I came to your uncle's house as a guest, and I came to Hong Kong Island for fun. .If you, the tour guide who received me, want me to cook for you, then I'd better just go back to Shencheng!"

"You are a guest, who asked you to cook?" Yang Shiyun said a little unhappy.
